list problems fixed

[Mate Wierdl]

Sorry guys,

/usr/local/bin failed to mount due disk failure, and one of the spam testing
software I was using for the list was there.  This was the last loud WD disk
in my box.

But all should be fine now; I am using a backup /usr/local/bin.

Thx for your infinite understanding...

Patch Lyx1.1.4

[thomas schönhoff]

Hello to everybody,
just a short question. I'am still using Lyx 1.1.4
(unpached), does anybody know if it is possible to
patch Lyx by patch.fix3 without having patched by
fix1 and fix2. If not, are there any places to get
hold of them ?
I didn't found any of the two first patches on the
sylvan.com-Server (according to rpm RH 6.2).
   
Thank you
   
Thomas

You can use the RPMs of lyx-1.1.4patch3 without recompiling sources.

You can also just grab the pre-patched tarball: lyx-1.1.4-fix3.tar.gz

These are both avilable on ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx

Subject: Feature requests 

I've been working quite a lot with LyX lately and find it a great thing, I
can do in it almost everything I want, though not with ease.

The main problem is the requirement to use Evil Red Text. I would find it
a good addition if lyx would have many more latex features/packages
supported in the way of options and dialogs, thus reducing the need to
learn tex.

A thing that bugs me is the math macros, I really dont want to see them in
the text body, they will be better placed in a dialog, possibly with an
external library of such macros that can be brought in as need arise. The
reason for the library is that I have different sets of documents that I
write, seminar paper in Wavelets, lecture notes in various math courses
also their solutions and solutions for Cryptography course exercises. All
of this require a different set of macros that I regularly use, currently
I open an older document and use it as a base, but its not optimal. An
external library that can be marked for what to insert into the current
document will be easier.

Environment options. This is something I'd really like to see, currently
if I want to use \theorem{Sylow's Theorem} I need to create a macro by
hand or use some ERT. This is largely inefficient and ugly to look at. I'd
really like to see an option dialog that can be opened on right click over
the environment where I can set the option and have it used. This also
works for other types of environments.

Better support for external files. Sometimes I need to include external
files, say a program output. I am forced then to add the absolute location
of the file since lyx will not copy it to its temporary directory. What
might be needed for this is the ability to tell LyX to latex the file in
its current directory, not worrying of temp files.

Better support for external packages. I need at times to include files,
for this I use the fancyvrb package. If lyx will support it as an inset
and have environment options it will make my life easier and remove some
more ERT from my screen. The same should possibly be done to other
packages. Yes, there are always more packages and other things to support,
but at least this proposed method of an inset and inset properties dialog
will be more efficient and I believe it will not be hard to add support to
other packages. For the verbatims I find that adding the different
verbatims to the include dialog could be better though. I guess listings
and fancyvrb with their options will be a good addition.

Configuration and options settings. It would be advisable to be able to do
all configurations and options from a dialog box instead of editing the
text file. I'm not that against text file configurations, but less
skillful users will appreciate that a lot.

For math stuff, replace the math panel with a tabbed panel under the
toolbar. Like winedt with all (most) of the math symbols. this way the
rarely used symbols can be found easily in the same window without
resorting to a different dialog box thus changing focus around. I believe
it is simpler to use. This can be an option so that those who do not need
the math panel do not have to see it.

Scripting. When considering some of the things I ask for, comes the
thought to allow using an embedded scripting language (Python or anything
most everyone will want), to drive some of the stuff, specifically to
allow a layout writer to add a new environment type and define its options
window, say for example for the theorem environment to be able to add the
name. And things of the kind.

That's it for now (too much as it is), I know I had some more but they
will come in a later time.

Table of Contetnts

[Ramin Yasdi]

Hello LyX user,

How can I get page number of  a bibliography into the table of contents?

If  I mark bibliograph as a section, LyX gives an error.

How can I change top and bottom margins of toc (this one  page only )

How can I transfer  a LyX  document  to word documents ?

 Thanks for help,Ramin

Re: ?compile error: lyx-1.1.4-fix3 rpm, undefined references

[Nien-Po Chen]

Hi Lyx Users,

Regarding my previous compile error, it turns out the xforms library I compiled from 
xforms-0.88-3.src.rpm ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/ has problem.  I'm not sure why 
that src.rpm has problem.  The sympton is that even a pre-compiled lyx 1.1.2 ppc will 
complain:
-
I tried an older lyx (1.1.2), which has ppc binary rpm available.
No error during install.  However, something interesting is shown
when I type lyx in my terminal window: (error message)

lyx: error in loading libraries: libforms.so.0.88 ELF file
data encoding not big-endian
-
Something is wrong.

Then, Larry Kollar kindly help me identify the problem and points me to a "good copy" 
pre-compiled xforms at
ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/old_releases/champion-1.0/ppc/RedHat
/RPMS/xforms-0.881-2.ppc.rpm

After installing this xforms, I can compile 1.1.4-fix3.src.rpm on my linuxPPC 
succussfully.

I wrote previously:
 I am using linuxppc 2000.  I would like to use lyx 1.1.4. The only
 available rpm for this version to be used on  a ppc machine is
 lyx-1.1.4-fix3.src.rpm.  I install xform src rpm (from the same site)
 first.  Then, lyx 1.1.4 rsc rpm.  During lyx's rpm rebuild process (rpm
 --rebuild ), some errors occurs which fail the rebuild:
 (After tens of minutes of compiling many parts)

 The error messages go like this
 insets/.libs/libinsets.a (insetlatexaccent.o): In function
 `InsetLatexAccent::Draw(LyXFont, LyXScreen , int, float)':
 insetlatexaccent.o(.text+0x123e): undefined references to `fl_display'

 Several undefined references happen in insetinfo.o, insetlatexaccent.o,
 inseturl.o, form_url.o.

 What is the missing part in my system which prevents rebuilding lyx
 1.1.4 src rpm?  Any input will be gratefully appreciated

Boxing an equation array environment

[Oscar Lopez]

Hi all lyx-user's !

I would like to know how can I boxed an eqnarray environment.

I have used the ams command boxed but it only works with single
equations. I have tried with the fancybox package, with the environment
Beqnarray, but there are two things that it doesn't satisfy me. First of

all, it seems that there is no support to do this at lyx, I mean, I have

to type all the environment and the equation too in red to obtain the
boxed equation array and I'd like to use the math mode of LyX. And
finally, the output result has the equation number inside the box with
the Beqnarray, and I would like to have every equation number outside
the box, as the ams boxed command do it.

BTW there are any possibility that in future versions of lyx the math
mode will be able to support other amsmath environments such as align,
alignat, ..., ?

Best regards and many thanks in advanced for any help
