I'm using RCS / CVS with Lyx and I'm inserting a RCS keyword $Id$ into a section. However when i print the document the expanded Id does not print. Is there a way to get it to print. (it looks like going from lyx to dvi or ps the $Id$ disappears) Darryl

Normally, a X application use the key which has KeySym Meta_L or Meta_R as Meta and the key, which has KeySym Alt_L or Alt_R as Alt, independent of the uses modifier bit. Lots of people map Alt to Meta in there XF86Config, because Meta is Shift-Alt by default and many programs use Meta not Alt as modifier, therefore Meta get mod1 there.

Converting .lyx to .ps
How can I convert .lyx to .ps ?? I can do it from LyX, but I need to do it automatically from another program. I don't know what utility to use. I have tried serveral like latex but they give me an error for some reason.. Can someone give me the commands that LyX does to convert to a .ps file from the .lyx file?

From the source, it seems that changing Mod1Mask to Mod4Mask in all files where this occurs should suffice. However, if we wanted to add a way to select that in lyxrc, we would have to make sure that the change is taken in account before any key sequence is defined, which requires a bit of work. I think we could accept a patch doing that, but I will not have time to do it myself. JMarc

LyX uses this latex2html command in lyxrc.default:
latex2html -no_subdir -split 0 -show_section_numbers '$FName'
I have the html.sty, url.sty, and lots of others installed. I even copied
the html and url ones to the dir with the Q&A. "Help" "LaTex Configuration"
shows "6.1.1 url" "Found: yes".
I included the following commands in the LyX "LaTeX Preamble...":
\usepackage{hthtml}
\usepackage{html,htmllist}

Even if you repeat this command for several times (Two or three times

Which font are you using? There are some that are not dealed with as
text but as grafics. To avoid this, you might try to change the fonts
via Layout -> Document to "times". Then it should work better...

Hm, the syntax seems to be o.k. The "pdftitle={whatever you want}"
command is used to give your PDF-document a title - visible via File ->
Document Info -> General... (for Acrobat Reader). So is is not
necessarily the name of the file (and it is not necessarily needed,
too).
The "linktocpage" command is used to create hyperlinks for the page
numbers within the TOC of the PDF-document.
The "colorlinks" command is used to enable coloured hyperlinks.

Stephan

If you look closely at your dvi file, you will find that one of the
entries (published in 1996) is wrong.
You probably need to use a special package with this german
bibiography style.

For me it seems that exporting your file as LaTeX isn´t enough. The
missing (the warnings) of croos-references and so on indicates that you
missed to "latex" your exported file.
You can do so by typing "latex [yourfilename.tex]" at the command line.

I do not know much abpout pdflatex; I managed the problem to convert
LyX-files to PDF as follows:
1. include a
\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={whatever you
want},linktocpage,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
in your LaTeX-preamble (Layout -> LaTeX...)
2. Export your LyX-file as Postscript.
3. Use ps2pdf to create the PDF-file (at the command line: "ps2pdf
[yourfilename.ps]"
For me this works quite perfectly - but I agree with you that a "direct"
PDF-export would be much more comfortable (hint for the developers :-).
