Changing Language
Hi, I have just tried to change language to a lyx doc that i have just written using default setup. It is a short text with title, author, abstract and standard headings. It cannot be converted into dvi, due to errors, both at the title section: The fisrt one is Missing \begin(document) 1.20 \ProvidesLanguage(i talian) Notice the word i-talian is broken. The second one: ! Undefined control sequence. I.20 \ProvidesLanguage(italian) The same happens if i choose 'english' as language: Missing \begin(document) 1.20 \ProvidesLanguage(e nglish) Notice the word e-nglish is broken. Such error does not arise when the default language is set. How to get over that problem? Thank you for your suggestions Pol -- Paolo Pumilia email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] o o o cstc o o o

Daniel Hi. I´ve now translated everything so that the PS output is in
Daniel German. I have some questions though.
Daniel First I notice that when a "Standard" text follows a
Daniel subsection/subsubsection, the text is not displayed below, but
Daniel rather next to the subsection title (= the linebreak is
Daniel missing). I find this very annoying, how can I fix that?
This is a design choice, as far as I know. There is therefore no
"fix" (someone who knows the ams classes better than I do might prove
me wrong, though).
Daniel Second, is there a way to bind "layouts" to keys? As I am
Daniel writing a quite long mathematical text with often changing
Daniel parts ("theorem", "proof", "definition") I spend too much time
Daniel grabbing the mouse and looking for the appropriate entry in
Daniel the popup list. I´d much more prefer to rather just press
Daniel F1...F10 or whatever.
Have a look at file lib/bind/menus.bind, around line 238. This will
show you what bindings exist and how they are defined. You can add
such commands to your lyxrc, like
\bind "F1" "layout Theorem"
Daniel And last, how can I enter using just the keyboard these
Daniel parentheses which resize according to their contents? In the
Daniel lyx and latex file they are called \( and \), but when
Daniel entering \( or \) I get parenthesis but only with a fixed
Daniel size?
\( and \) is certinly not what you want in LaTeX (they mean
enter-leave math mode). You probably mix them with \left(...\right).
Anyway, the right math shortcut is 'M-m ('.
Daniel It would also be nice if I could use the math panel just with
Daniel the keyboard. This, together with point 2, would make life
Daniel much easier.
Sure. The math panel needs some work.

# \DeclareLaTeXClass{article (ACM)}
run Option-Reconfigure so that lyx finds the new class, and prey that
acm format is not too different from article. If it works, you'll have
a working acm for lyx, but the fonts (and other things) on screen will
probably not match the paper output. If this does not work you'll have
to:
2/ find someone who knows both LyX and LaTeX, and make him create this

If you use \sin, you will certainly not have a problem in a

Sure: In the following lemma (same problem with "proposition" environment), there are
the operators "exp" (standard macro) and "dev" (own notation). Both are italicized in
the PS-file.

Changing Language
Hi, I have just tried to change language to a lyx doc that i have just written using default setup. It is a short text with title, author, abstract and standard headings. It cannot be converted into dvi, due to errors, both at the title section: The fisrt one is Missing \begin(document) 1.20 \ProvidesLanguage(i talian) Notice the word i-talian is broken. The second one: ! Undefined control sequence. I.20 \ProvidesLanguage(italian) The same happens if i choose 'english' as language: Missing \begin(document) 1.20 \ProvidesLanguage(e nglish) Notice the word e-nglish is broken. Such error does not arise when the default language is set. How to get over that problem? Thank you for your suggestions Pol -- Paolo Pumilia email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] o o o cstc o o o

This is a design choice, as far as I know. There is therefore no

Have a look at file lib/bind/menus.bind, around line 238. This will
show you what bindings exist and how they are defined. You can add
such commands to your lyxrc, like
\bind "F1" "layout Theorem"

\( and \) is certinly not what you want in LaTeX (they mean
enter-leave math mode). You probably mix them with \left(...\right).
Anyway, the right math shortcut is 'M-m ('.

Ok, you are right, it's braces, not round brackets.
Copy and paste in the LyX error message window is not allowed, so i had to

(you see, it was early morning...)

Two possibilities:
1/ copy lib/layouts/article.layout to ~/.lyx/layouts/acm.layout, edit
the first lines to read:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass{article (ACM)}
run Option->Reconfigure so that lyx finds the new class, and prey that
acm format is not too different from article. If it works, you'll have
a working acm for lyx, but the fonts (and other things) on screen will
probably not match the paper output. If this does not work you'll have
to:
2/ find someone who knows both LyX and LaTeX, and make him create this
layout and contribute it to LyX. We could certainly use such a layout.
This is of course not the easiest solution ;)
More seriously, if you managed to learn enough of LaTeX to be _almost_
able to do it, I can offer to help you with problems you might
encounter. But I certainly do not have the time (and motivation) for
fully writing this stuff.

Saving Screen Font Configuration

Installation on M$ Windoze
Greetings LyX World. I have spent quite a long time producing a series of relatively simple docs in the wonderful LyX, but it is now time for somebody else to take over the project. The problem is the export of my work to the Windoze, or Mac, World. Is there a set of LyX & LaTeX binaries and all the supportiing stuff which will work on Windoze 9x? Alternatively, is anybody running LyX under one of the `Sit on Windoze' distributions, such as `Drop-in-Debian'? I'd be interested to hear about experiences.
