Re: Problem with XFig and LyX 1.04 docs
I go into xfig with option -specialtext. I draw a rectangle, and put some words inside. I save the figure as test.fig, and I then export as PS/LaTeX combined to file test.pstex and test.pstext_t. Now use Insert- Input, and input test.pstext_t. Include can be used only for files with .tex extension. If you want to use include, you need to rename test.pstext_t to say test.pstext_t.tex. The difference between input and include is (besides that include does not accept non .tex extensions) that include starts a new page. In my opinion, if you use LyX, it is best to export the figure to eps, and then use Insert - Figure. This is more flexible, because you can specify what to do with the inserted figure. Unless you know TeX, you will not know how to manipulate test.pstext_t. If you have a figure you want to put on a separate page, then exporting to PS/LaTeX combined is a good idea. I agree that the User guide is not clear on this issue. In particular, it does not make the distinction between input and include. Normally, they always mean "input" when they say "include" a latex doc. Mate

included files
Guys, Any included file has to be in the same dir as the lyx doc you are including it into. So all files exported from xfig needs to be in the current dir. The current dir is always searched for input files unless you messed up your texinputs path. Mate

enumerate bug in 1.04 and earlier?
When using lyx 1.04 and earlier versions, I am getting a strange problem with enumerate. This has happened with two documents and I tried version 1.04 on Linux, a version on HP and another version on SGI Irix. The numbering goes 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. But the 3 for paragraph 3 is missing and for paragraph 4 BOTH the 3 and 4 show up, one on top of the other. Everything looks perfect in lyx. But when you create the Postscript file, you see the problem and it prints the same way. I have gone into the Postscript code and fiddled around to fix it but it is very time consuming because I'm doing it by trial and error. Is the a fix or work around for this problem? I would be happy to send the document (its only 2 pages). Rick Bilonick
Formatting of multiline equations
Dear All,
I am having difficulty formatting justifying multiline equations
in LyX (1.0.4). I want to spead across, say, 3 lines, an equation
containing at least one nested level of parentheses. eg. Illustrating my
point using the fixed font of this mailer I am trying to get something
like,
f(x) = x*2 (z+3{aterm +
another_term +
a_third term})
I would like to make Latex use a 'largish' round-bracket brace - as it
would if my equation was all on a single line. How can I do this??
TIA
Tom.

You should be able to achieve something of the sort by doing this:
1. In the Math Editor, type out "f(x)=x*2" (or \times or \cdot or
whatever).
2. Now, go to the Math Panel and open the Delimiters dialog; set the left
and right delimiters to whatever you need, and hit Ok.
3. Within the delimiters you just inserted, insert a Matrix with however
many rows and columns you want... in your example above, you'd probably want
two columns so you could left-justify your terms, but you could just use one
column if you're not picky. The delimiters will grow to surround the entire
matrix. You can even nest matrices; they look odd in LyX, but the printed
output will still be nice.
Have fun,

Why does TeX style use ~ for space?
I am wondering why LyX uses the non-wrapping space ~ in TeX-style areas?
I understand in LyX-Code blocks that using the ~ prevents wrapping and
forces the text to appear exactly as you enter it.
However, when you are doing a paragraph, and have a few words of
typewriter output set in TeX-style, the tex will not allow a linebreak
inside the TeX-style area because of the use of ~.
I looked at the code, and paragraph.C seems to be the place where this
happens, but I am not sure which of the two lines to change, and what
ramifications it will have.
OK, here is a patch that does what I needed. It uses ~ for LyX-Code
environment, but spaces for Tex-Code in other environments. The test is
to compare the current environment to LyX-Code, and do the ~ only in those
cases.
Also attached is a tex file showing the changed output. Not the \texttt
text does not use ~. This change has fixed the cases where I was
getting texttt text in the margins when the texttt string had a few
lines in it.
My guess is that some type of patch for this should be made, though mine
may be too crude. The LyX code looks quite nice.

Manipulating EPS images in Lyx
Hi all. I'm thinking of using Lyx to write my master's report. Most here know why .. it's stable, it's clean, it works well for what it does. I understand several others have used Lyx to write their theses. What is an appropriate class to use? Are there classes one can install that are specialized for this type of document? Also, I expect to have a moderate about of source code in my report. Perhaps I'm just ignorant, but even today I cannot figure out how to incorporate source code properly into a Lyx document. The Lyx-Code seemed like it might work, but I've found that I can't control it well. It doesn't "look" right to me. For example, if my report is double-spaced, is there a way to have the code single-spaced? I also can't seem to have tab-indents in Lyx-Code. Things of that sort. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Re: Problem with XFig and LyX 1.04 docs

included files
Guys, Any included file has to be in the same dir as the lyx doc you are including it into. So all files exported from xfig needs to be in the current dir. The current dir is always searched for input files unless you messed up your texinputs path. Mate

enumerate bug in 1.04 and earlier?
When using lyx 1.04 and earlier versions, I am getting a strange problem with enumerate. This has happened with two documents and I tried version 1.04 on Linux, a version on HP and another version on SGI Irix. The numbering goes 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. But the 3 for paragraph 3 is missing and for paragraph 4 BOTH the 3 and 4 show up, one on top of the other. Everything looks perfect in lyx. But when you create the Postscript file, you see the problem and it prints the same way. I have gone into the Postscript code and fiddled around to fix it but it is very time consuming because I'm doing it by trial and error. Is the a fix or work around for this problem? I would be happy to send the document (its only 2 pages). Rick Bilonick
Formatting of multiline equations
Dear All,
I am having difficulty formatting justifying multiline equations
in LyX (1.0.4). I want to spead across, say, 3 lines, an equation
containing at least one nested level of parentheses. eg. Illustrating my
point using the fixed font of this mailer I am trying to get something
like,
f(x) = x*2 (z+3{aterm +
another_term +
a_third term})
I would like to make Latex use a 'largish' round-bracket brace - as it
would if my equation was all on a single line. How can I do this??
TIA
Tom.

You should be able to achieve something of the sort by doing this:
1. In the Math Editor, type out "f(x)=x*2" (or \times or \cdot or
whatever).
2. Now, go to the Math Panel and open the Delimiters dialog; set the left
and right delimiters to whatever you need, and hit Ok.
3. Within the delimiters you just inserted, insert a Matrix with however
many rows and columns you want... in your example above, you'd probably want
two columns so you could left-justify your terms, but you could just use one
column if you're not picky. The delimiters will grow to surround the entire
matrix. You can even nest matrices; they look odd in LyX, but the printed
output will still be nice.
Have fun,

Why does TeX style use ~ for space?
I am wondering why LyX uses the non-wrapping space ~ in TeX-style areas?
I understand in LyX-Code blocks that using the ~ prevents wrapping and
forces the text to appear exactly as you enter it.
However, when you are doing a paragraph, and have a few words of
typewriter output set in TeX-style, the tex will not allow a linebreak
inside the TeX-style area because of the use of ~.
I looked at the code, and paragraph.C seems to be the place where this
happens, but I am not sure which of the two lines to change, and what
ramifications it will have.
OK, here is a patch that does what I needed. It uses ~ for LyX-Code
environment, but spaces for Tex-Code in other environments. The test is
to compare the current environment to LyX-Code, and do the ~ only in those
cases.
Also attached is a tex file showing the changed output. Not the \texttt
text does not use ~. This change has fixed the cases where I was
getting texttt text in the margins when the texttt string had a few
lines in it.
My guess is that some type of patch for this should be made, though mine
may be too crude. The LyX code looks quite nice.

Manipulating EPS images in Lyx
Hi all. I'm thinking of using Lyx to write my master's report. Most here know why .. it's stable, it's clean, it works well for what it does. I understand several others have used Lyx to write their theses. What is an appropriate class to use? Are there classes one can install that are specialized for this type of document? Also, I expect to have a moderate about of source code in my report. Perhaps I'm just ignorant, but even today I cannot figure out how to incorporate source code properly into a Lyx document. The Lyx-Code seemed like it might work, but I've found that I can't control it well. It doesn't "look" right to me. For example, if my report is double-spaced, is there a way to have the code single-spaced? I also can't seem to have tab-indents in Lyx-Code. Things of that sort. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

I had the same problem here, the solution was to use an absolute filename:
look in the .pstex_t file and find the line
\special{psfile=foo.pstex} ; or something like this...
then edit the filename, and give the full path to the file e.g.
\special{psfile=/home/blabla/foo.pstex}
Hope this helps,
Greets,
Alex.

Unwanted pagenumbering in Contents (report class).

\thispagestyle{empty} works only for one page!
try \pagestyle{empty}

\pagenumbering{Roman} for I,II,...
\pagenumbering{roman} for i,i,...
\pagenumbering{arabic}
the counter always starts at 1.

Re: Problem with XFig and LyX 1.04 docs
I go into xfig with option -specialtext. I draw a rectangle, and put some words inside. I save the figure as test.fig, and I then export as PS/LaTeX combined to file test.pstex and test.pstext_t. Now use Insert-> Input, and input test.pstext_t. Include can be used only for files with .tex extension. If you want to use include, you need to rename test.pstext_t to say test.pstext_t.tex. The difference between input and include is (besides that include does not accept non .tex extensions) that include starts a new page.

Hi,
In addition, you could add
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{References} in the first \bibitem to
force that References appear in TOC and
\markboth{References} {References} for the heading

But I did:
So I go an include the pstex_t file using Insert/Include file, and I
click on the Input radio button and put the filename in.
and only got the text, not the figure.
Above you said you got two files, test.pstex and test.pstext_t.
Again, what you need to do:
mv test.pstext_t test.pstext_t.tex
and then use Insert/Include to include test.pstext_t (do not write
the .tex extension). When you preview, you should see the figure in
the doc. If view dvi does not work properly (it happens with
complicated included figures), use view postscript.
Do you have
\usepackage{epsfig}
in your latex preamble (using Layout -> LaTeX Preamble)?

included files
Guys, Any included file has to be in the same dir as the lyx doc you are including it into. So all files exported from xfig needs to be in the current dir. The current dir is always searched for input files unless you messed up your texinputs path. Mate

Yes.

Yikes. I never did that. Strange thing is that is seem to work either
way. I get only the words if it called test.pstex_t or
test.pstex_t.tex. I put in test.pstex_t each time, and use Input.

Yes, I added that but it did not help.
Very weird.

enumerate bug in 1.04 and earlier?
When using lyx 1.04 and earlier versions, I am getting a strange problem with enumerate. This has happened with two documents and I tried version 1.04 on Linux, a version on HP and another version on SGI Irix. The numbering goes 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. But the 3 for paragraph 3 is missing and for paragraph 4 BOTH the 3 and 4 show up, one on top of the other. Everything looks perfect in lyx. But when you create the Postscript file, you see the problem and it prints the same way. I have gone into the Postscript code and fiddled around to fix it but it is very time consuming because I'm doing it by trial and error. Is the a fix or work around for this problem? I would be happy to send the document (its only 2 pages). Rick Bilonick
Formatting of multiline equations
Dear All,
I am having difficulty formatting & justifying multiline equations
in LyX (1.0.4). I want to spead across, say, 3 lines, an equation
containing at least one nested level of parentheses. eg. Illustrating my
point using the fixed font of this mailer I am trying to get something
like,
f(x) = x*2 (z+3{aterm +
another_term +
a_third term})
I would like to make Latex use a 'largish' round-bracket & brace - as it
would if my equation was all on a single line. How can I do this??
TIA
Tom.

You should be able to achieve something of the sort by doing this:
1. In the Math Editor, type out "f(x)=x*2" (or \times or \cdot or
whatever).
2. Now, go to the Math Panel and open the Delimiters dialog; set the left
and right delimiters to whatever you need, and hit Ok.
3. Within the delimiters you just inserted, insert a Matrix with however
many rows and columns you want... in your example above, you'd probably want
two columns so you could left-justify your terms, but you could just use one
column if you're not picky. The delimiters will grow to surround the entire
matrix. You can even nest matrices; they look odd in LyX, but the printed
output will still be nice.
Have fun,

Why does TeX style use ~ for space?
I am wondering why LyX uses the non-wrapping space ~ in TeX-style areas?
I understand in LyX-Code blocks that using the ~ prevents wrapping and
forces the text to appear exactly as you enter it.
However, when you are doing a paragraph, and have a few words of
typewriter output set in TeX-style, the tex will not allow a linebreak
inside the TeX-style area because of the use of ~.
I looked at the code, and paragraph.C seems to be the place where this
happens, but I am not sure which of the two lines to change, and what
ramifications it will have.
OK, here is a patch that does what I needed. It uses ~ for LyX-Code
environment, but spaces for Tex-Code in other environments. The test is
to compare the current environment to LyX-Code, and do the ~ only in those
cases.
Also attached is a tex file showing the changed output. Not the \texttt
text does not use ~. This change has fixed the cases where I was
getting texttt text in the margins when the texttt string had a few
lines in it.
My guess is that some type of patch for this should be made, though mine
may be too crude. The LyX code looks quite nice.

Manipulating EPS images in Lyx
Hi all. I'm thinking of using Lyx to write my master's report. Most here know why .. it's stable, it's clean, it works well for what it does. I understand several others have used Lyx to write their theses. What is an appropriate class to use? Are there classes one can install that are specialized for this type of document? Also, I expect to have a moderate about of source code in my report. Perhaps I'm just ignorant, but even today I cannot figure out how to incorporate source code properly into a Lyx document. The Lyx-Code seemed like it might work, but I've found that I can't control it well. It doesn't "look" right to me. For example, if my report is double-spaced, is there a way to have the code single-spaced? I also can't seem to have tab-indents in Lyx-Code. Things of that sort. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
