Riccardo so the output is not a Large epsilon.

Simplest solution: in Layout-LaTeX Preamble, add
\newcommand{\Leps}{\text{\Large{$ \varepsilon $}}}

Then in the math editor, use \Leps directly.

However, why do you need this large varepsilon? Are you sure that what
you need is not a calligraphic E?

The dependency tracking scans the latex log file to check for files

where latex finds the wrong file.

So the problem is how we can get LaTeX to find the correct file.

Problem with XFig and LyX 1.04 docs

1999-10-14 Thread Bruce Momjian

First, a documentation bug report.  Then a LyX 1.04 problem.

---

The User Guide docs in section 4.3.3 states in item three that the xfig
LaTeX/Postscript combined output names would show foo.ps_tex and
foo.ps_tex_t.

In fact, the names for xfig 3.2p2 outputs the combined names as
foo.pstex and foo.pstex_t.


---

Second, I can't seem to get this to work.  The "Include file" part was
done, but blank space appears in the PS output where the figure should
appear.  If I include foo.pstex as a figure, that works, but of course
that is a postscript file, not the LaTeX file foo.pstex_t as suggested
in the manual.  I don't really need to get this working for my project,
but am willing to help figure out what is wrong for future users. 
Anything I should be trying?

OK, I got it working, but I think I found a bug.  I looked in the
View_Latex log, and found that no matter what extension I gave the file
to be included, the log showed the file requested as foo.tex, i.e. if I
went to include file fred.latex, it would look for fred.tex.  My guess
is that somewhere the included file name is being mangled to force an
extension of 'tex'.  Can someone confirm this on their machines?

Table problem with Linuxdoc template

1999-10-14 Thread David Nedrow

Why is it that tables are not rendered properly when the LinuxDoc
template is used? When rendered, the cell values are simply placed one
after another on a single line with no table regardless of output format.

The DocBook template works, but I haven't figure out how to add a TOC to
it. If I insert the TOC, I get an error in the compilation that the TOC is
not valid. Here is the output using DocBook ( Note that this was done by
simply choosing File - New From Template, selecting DocBook after
providing a name and then placing the TOC between the default abstract
and first section) -

"PARA" here;

"/tmp/lyx_tmp12804aaa/lyx_bufrtmp12804aaa/../VERSION"
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)

I need to create documents with tables that can be output as SGML (for RCS
archiving), PostScript, ASCII and HTML. So far as I can tell, I can't get
HTML without the SGML intermediate, but I can't get SGML without using a
template, but I can't use the templates because each has it's own issues
that I can't seem to figure out, ad nauseum.

I'm not a stupid person, but LyX 1.0.4 is really making me feel that
way. As far as LinuxDoc goes, this all worked for me in an older version
of LyX (though I can't remember which one.)

Here is a possible procedure (I suppose that the texmf tree is owned by root, 
you must be root to do it)
 - if you have not done it already, create a site_latex dir in the texmf tree, eg
mkdir /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/site_latex
 (this will ease upgrades)
 - go to site_latex and make it public
cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/site_latex;chmod 755 .
 - check that the required package is not here, eg
kpsewhich longtable.sty
 - if not, go to the nearest CTAN archive and ask for the package (e.g. foo)
 - download the files (generally two files: foo.ins  for the install
 and foo.dtx for the doc stuff) in ./foo after a 
mkdir foo; chmod 755 foo; cd foo
 - latex the two files and make the sty, tex and dvi files public
chmod 444 *.cls *.tex *.sty *.dvi
 - run texhash
 - test from a plain user login, either \documentclass{foo}, \usepackage{foo} or 
\input{foo} 
 
In fact you may have a similar procedure for the bst files in the bibtex part
of the texmf ree; I think that you have often bst files coming in with packages
and that it is simpler to add site_latex in the BSTINPUTS path of texmf.cnf
and keep every imported latex-related stuff in one place.

for \beta_k, it does not seem to have any effect on screen, as far as
I can see. Could you send an example file (maybe two, with 1.0.3 and
1.0.4)? 

I do not remember any change in math code which might produce that...

Usually it's best to compile by yourself.  You can get a Debian binary for
slink linked against libforms.so.0.88 and with the "export HTML"-patch
applied here: "ftp://ntama.uni-mainz.de/pub/debian/unofficial/binary/"
The file in question is called "lyx_1.0.4-0slink1_i386.deb" and is a

You can download the lyx source from ftp.debian.org and then compile it
yourself against libforms.so.0.88 which is included in Debian.

should have been r_\mathrm{wave}. It seems once LyX comes across the

Actually, it only occurs on reloading the file. If you type in a new

LyX and LaTeX behaviuor differ

1999-10-14 Thread Jean-Pierre.Chretien


Hello,

Using LaTeX to fill-in parametrized pages, I used
to put a default file in the texmf tree which was
replaced by a modified file in the document directory.

This deos not work any more in LyX, the .dep file is not
aware of the existence of a file of the same name in the local
directory and loads the default.

If I export as LaTeX, all is OK again, kpathsea finds the local
before the global.

How are made exactly the dependencies ? 
I know how to workaround (put the absolute path, e.g.), howvever
as I would like to keep the \input instruction in tyhe global both
for Lyx and LaTeX users, it would be better if it worked the same.
Perhaps the solution comes with 1.1, as I read recently it will deal with updates
of bib files ?

The dependency tracking scans the latex log file to check for files
that latex used. No more no less. So this boils down to a problem
where latex finds the wrong file.

So the problem is how we can get LaTeX to find the correct file.

Problem with XFig and LyX 1.04 docs

1999-10-14 Thread Bruce Momjian

First, a documentation bug report.  Then a LyX 1.04 problem.

---

The User Guide docs in section 4.3.3 states in item three that the xfig
LaTeX/Postscript combined output names would show foo.ps_tex and
foo.ps_tex_t.

In fact, the names for xfig 3.2p2 outputs the combined names as
foo.pstex and foo.pstex_t.


---

Second, I can't seem to get this to work.  The "Include file" part was
done, but blank space appears in the PS output where the figure should
appear.  If I include foo.pstex as a figure, that works, but of course
that is a postscript file, not the LaTeX file foo.pstex_t as suggested
in the manual.  I don't really need to get this working for my project,
but am willing to help figure out what is wrong for future users. 
Anything I should be trying?

OK, I got it working, but I think I found a bug.  I looked in the
View_Latex log, and found that no matter what extension I gave the file
to be included, the log showed the file requested as foo.tex, i.e. if I
went to include file fred.latex, it would look for fred.tex.  My guess
is that somewhere the included file name is being mangled to force an
extension of 'tex'.  Can someone confirm this on their machines?

Table problem with Linuxdoc template

1999-10-14 Thread David Nedrow

Why is it that tables are not rendered properly when the LinuxDoc
template is used? When rendered, the cell values are simply placed one
after another on a single line with no table regardless of output format.

The DocBook template works, but I haven't figure out how to add a TOC to
it. If I insert the TOC, I get an error in the compilation that the TOC is
not valid. Here is the output using DocBook ( Note that this was done by
simply choosing File - New From Template, selecting DocBook after
providing a name and then placing the TOC between the default abstract
and first section) -

This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)

I need to create documents with tables that can be output as SGML (for RCS
archiving), PostScript, ASCII and HTML. So far as I can tell, I can't get
HTML without the SGML intermediate, but I can't get SGML without using a
template, but I can't use the templates because each has it's own issues
that I can't seem to figure out, ad nauseum.

I'm not a stupid person, but LyX 1.0.4 is really making me feel that
way. As far as LinuxDoc goes, this all worked for me in an older version
of LyX (though I can't remember which one.)

When you run any of the Postscript generating menu items (like export or

What document layout are you using?

BTW, File-Print and File-Export-Postscript both popup the same dialog

Here is a possible procedure (I suppose that the texmf tree is owned by root, 
you must be root to do it)
 - if you have not done it already, create a site_latex dir in the texmf tree, eg
mkdir /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/site_latex
 (this will ease upgrades)
 - go to site_latex and make it public
cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/site_latex;chmod 755 .
 - check that the required package is not here, eg
kpsewhich longtable.sty
 - if not, go to the nearest CTAN archive and ask for the package (e.g. foo)
 - download the files (generally two files: foo.ins  for the install
 and foo.dtx for the doc stuff) in ./foo after a 
mkdir foo; chmod 755 foo; cd foo
 - latex the two files and make the sty, tex and dvi files public
chmod 444 *.cls *.tex *.sty *.dvi
 - run texhash
 - test from a plain user login, either \documentclass{foo}, \usepackage{foo} or 
\input{foo} 
 
In fact you may have a similar procedure for the bst files in the bibtex part
of the texmf ree; I think that you have often bst files coming in with packages
and that it is simpler to add site_latex in the BSTINPUTS path of texmf.cnf
and keep every imported latex-related stuff in one place.

  You should get the xforms graphical toolkit.

 lyx1.1.1 still uses that, so the problem remains.

Usually it's best to compile by yourself.  You can get a Debian binary for

applied here: "ftp://ntama.uni-mainz.de/pub/debian/unofficial/binary/"

You must install the packages libforms-bin, libforms-dev, xpm4g-dev.

IMO you should revise your config.ps of the dvips installation, if
it contains A4 paper informations. I can print and view this file

LyX and LaTeX behaviuor differ

1999-10-14 Thread Jean-Pierre.Chretien


Hello,

Using LaTeX to fill-in parametrized pages, I used
to put a default file in the texmf tree which was
replaced by a modified file in the document directory.

This deos not work any more in LyX, the .dep file is not
aware of the existence of a file of the same name in the local
directory and loads the default.

If I export as LaTeX, all is OK again, kpathsea finds the local
before the global.

How are made exactly the dependencies ? 
I know how to workaround (put the absolute path, e.g.), howvever
as I would like to keep the \input instruction in tyhe global both
for Lyx and LaTeX users, it would be better if it worked the same.
Perhaps the solution comes with 1.1, as I read recently it will deal with updates
of bib files ?

Could you describe where your local file is located and how you
TEXINPUTS (and kpathsea config) is setup?

Note that dependency tracking does not really search for files in your
TEXINPUTS, so it willl not trigger a re-run if such a file is changed.
However, the same file should be found wherever it is.

The dependency tracking scans the latex log file to check for files
that latex used. No more no less. So this boils down to a problem
where latex finds the wrong file.

So the problem is how we can get LaTeX to find the correct file.

Problem with XFig and LyX 1.04 docs

1999-10-14 Thread Bruce Momjian

First, a documentation bug report.  Then a LyX 1.04 problem.

---

The User Guide docs in section 4.3.3 states in item three that the xfig
LaTeX/Postscript combined output names would show foo.ps_tex and
foo.ps_tex_t.

In fact, the names for xfig 3.2p2 outputs the combined names as
foo.pstex and foo.pstex_t.


---

Second, I can't seem to get this to work.  The "Include file" part was
done, but blank space appears in the PS output where the figure should
appear.  If I include foo.pstex as a figure, that works, but of course
that is a postscript file, not the LaTeX file foo.pstex_t as suggested
in the manual.  I don't really need to get this working for my project,
but am willing to help figure out what is wrong for future users. 
Anything I should be trying?

OK, I got it working, but I think I found a bug.  I looked in the
View_Latex log, and found that no matter what extension I gave the file
to be included, the log showed the file requested as foo.tex, i.e. if I
went to include file fred.latex, it would look for fred.tex.  My guess
is that somewhere the included file name is being mangled to force an
extension of 'tex'.  Can someone confirm this on their machines?

Table problem with Linuxdoc template

1999-10-14 Thread David Nedrow

Why is it that tables are not rendered properly when the LinuxDoc
template is used? When rendered, the cell values are simply placed one
after another on a single line with no table regardless of output format.

The DocBook template works, but I haven't figure out how to add a TOC to
it. If I insert the TOC, I get an error in the compilation that the TOC is
not valid. Here is the output using DocBook ( Note that this was done by
simply choosing File -> New From Template, selecting DocBook after
providing a name and then placing the TOC between the default abstract
and first section) - 

/usr/bin/jade:0:25:7:E: document type does not allow element
"PARA" here;
missing one of "ABSTRACT", "PRINTHISTORY", "AUTHORBLURB",

"/usr/share/sgml/stylesheets/docbook/print/../VERSION",
"/tmp/lyx_tmp12804aaa/lyx_bufrtmp12804aaa/../VERSION"
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)

I need to create documents with tables that can be output as SGML (for RCS
archiving), PostScript, ASCII and HTML. So far as I can tell, I can't get
HTML without the SGML intermediate, but I can't get SGML without using a
template, but I can't use the templates because each has it's own issues
that I can't seem to figure out, ad nauseum.

I'm not a stupid person, but LyX 1.0.4 is really making me feel that
way. As far as LinuxDoc goes, this all worked for me in an older version
of LyX (though I can't remember which one.)

Does File->ViewPostscript work for you?
When you run any of the Postscript generating menu items (like export or
update etc.) do you see mention of dvips in the status bar?
What document layout are you using?

BTW, File->Print and File->Export->Postscript both popup the same dialog
box so if you have problems with one then the other will (obviously?) have
the same behaviour.

This looks like the answer.  LyX will be running LaTeX in /tmp/lyx...
BUT if the file is \input shouldn't LyX have a copy of it in /tmp also or
at least know of its existance?  Unless its a ERT \input maybe?

A possible workaround might be to disable the use of a temporary
directory.  There's a lyxrc variable for that but I can't remember its
name.

BTW,  this is only a guess.

Here is a possible procedure (I suppose that the texmf tree is owned by root, 
you must be root to do it)
 - if you have not done it already, create a site_latex dir in the texmf tree, eg
mkdir /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/site_latex
 (this will ease upgrades)
 - go to site_latex and make it public
cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/site_latex;chmod 755 .
 - check that the required package is not here, eg
kpsewhich longtable.sty
 - if not, go to the nearest CTAN archive and ask for the package (e.g. foo)
 - download the files (generally two files: foo.ins  for the install
 and foo.dtx for the doc stuff) in ./foo after a 
mkdir foo; chmod 755 foo; cd foo
 - latex the two files and make the sty, tex and dvi files public
chmod 444 *.cls *.tex *.sty *.dvi
 - run texhash
 - test from a plain user login, either \documentclass{foo}, \usepackage{foo} or 
\input{foo} 
 
In fact you may have a similar procedure for the bst files in the bibtex part
of the texmf ree; I think that you have often bst files coming in with packages
and that it is simpler to add site_latex in the BSTINPUTS path of texmf.cnf
and keep every imported latex-related stuff in one place.

  You should get the xforms graphical toolkit.
  Look in the lyx web pages for its location.

 lyx1.1.1 still uses that, so the problem remains.

So you installed a binary package? I allready told this and will repeat
it one more time (not to you personally but to all the people on this list!!):

THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH lyx-1.0.4 AND/OR lyx-1.1.1 USING libforms.0.89 !!!
SO IF YOU WANT A WORKING LYX STICK WITH libforms.0.88 !!!

HOPE THIS GOT TROUGH TO ALL !!! (ESPECIALLY TO PEOPLE MAKING BINARY PACKAGES
AND REDISTRIBUTE THEM)

Greets Jürgen

P.S.: This problems will be only solved if I get a positive answer from
  T.C. about how he wants to adapt this for xforms-0.90!!!

Hello,

Sorry about responding so late. While I see the behaviour you describe
for \beta_k, it does not seem to have any effect on screen, as far as
I can see. Could you send an example file (maybe two, with 1.0.3 and
1.0.4)? 

I do not remember any change in math code which might produce that...

Usually it's best to compile by yourself.  You can get a Debian binary for
slink linked against libforms.so.0.88 and with the "export HTML"-patch
applied here: "ftp://ntama.uni-mainz.de/pub/debian/unofficial/binary/"
The file in question is called "lyx_1.0.4-0slink1_i386.deb" and is a
recompilation of the official Debian package plus mentioned patch.

 Cheers, P. *8^)

You can download the lyx source from ftp.debian.org and then compile it
yourself against libforms.so.0.88 which is included in Debian.

Thanks. Syrus.

Jean-Marc,

Thanks for having a look at the problem. In the end, it turned out the it
was a "stupid user" error. The problem was that the line:

> Rod> Also, I've got the following in the body of the text
> Rod> r_\textrm{wave}

should have been r_\mathrm{wave}. It seems once LyX comes across the
incorrect \textrm it gets a little confused. Anyway, I've attached an
example file (gzipped) which displays the behaviour. If you load it, you
should see the extra spaces between the normal and subscript characters.

Actually, it only occurs on reloading the file. If you type in a new
expression, Lyx handles it fine.

Thanks for the interest, and an excellent program.
