Hi I have a (probably) simple LaTeX question
Page style plain puts the page number on the bottom of the page
How do I get a plain number on the top of the page.
I do not want any other text in the heading, wich appears
there if I use the heading option in the page style
use default article.
Any suggestions?
Use Layout-Document-Pagestyle fancy
Then in preamble
\cfoot{}\rfoot{}\lfoot{}
\chead{\rm\thepage}\rhead{}\lhead{}
or any other customization.
It's a bit more intricated if for a twosided document,
needs a look at the fancyhdr.sty doc.

Can't preview or print or even export anything other than TeX
Subject says it: I'm having a problem with LyX. When I try to view DVI or view postscript or export as DVI etc., it fails to actually do anything. If I launch it from a console I get error output thus: Attempting to view DVI file:randomfile.dvi: No such file or directory Attempting to view Postscript, or print This is dvips(k) 5.86 Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) dvips: ! DVI file can't be opened. Attempting to export DVI sh: ./randomfile.tex: Permission denied ... and so on. Exporting as TeX works fine, and on the output from that I can manually run all the latex/tetex tools eg: texi2dvi, texi2pdf, dvips, xdvi etc., all those work fine, but LyX seems incapable of running them properly. BTW, if I export as TeX and *then* try to view DVI or Postscript, I still get the same errors. Now: I'm running all this under Linux using SuSE 6.4. At first, naturally, I tried it with the versions of tetex, LyX etc. supplied with SuSE, and when it failed, thinking it might be an error in their distribution, I removed it and built both tetex and LyX up from source, from the latest available stable versions (teTeX 1.0.2, LyX 1.1.5, though still using the XForms, Ghostscript etc. supplied by SuSE (the LyX GUI is fine with that btw)). The exact same errors occur but, again, the command-line tools in teTeX are working fine. Help! :-) -- Rachel

LyX and styles
Dear list members,
At our company we deciced to use LyX to write software manuals for
our software. I have some experience of LaTeX. Because our tech-writers
don't know LaTeX at all, I'm writing them a template, layout and an
appropriate document class (.cls) to use. The base is normal book
layout, but I think I'll need to add some things to that.
We are using version 1.1.5. I have one problem (how to make work as easy
as possible for writers), which arises couple of questions:
1) Can I create a new style (or command), which I use inside of
normal paragraph. The functionality I have in mind is same than
with LaTeX macro like this:
\newcommand{\ExampleFormat}[1]{{\sl\ss #1}}
And as resulting LaTeX source it would look like:
"..this is a \ExampleFormat{example} paragraph of formatting..."
and after evaluation it would be:
"..this is a {\sl\ss example} paragraph of formatting..."
If I create this as a new style, it is used as a paragraph style.
Or is this still on "todo-list" of LyX?
2) Can I bound this style in to a toolbar button? So that I could use
it as a toggle button for formatting a text selection?
yours,
Tommi Rintala

Exporting as TeX works fine, and on the output from that I can manually run all the latex/tetex tools eg: texi2dvi, texi2pdf, dvips, xdvi etc., all those work fine, but LyX seems incapable of running them properly. BTW, if I export as TeX and *then* try to view DVI or Postscript, I still get the same errors. Now: I'm running all this under Linux using SuSE 6.4. At first, naturally, I tried it with the versions of tetex, LyX etc. supplied with SuSE, and when it failed, thinking it might be an error in their distribution, I removed it and built both tetex and LyX up from source, from the latest available stable versions (teTeX 1.0.2, LyX 1.1.5, though still using the XForms, Ghostscript etc. supplied by SuSE (the LyX GUI is fine with that btw)). The exact same errors occur but, again, the command-line tools in teTeX are working fine. Help! :-) -- Rachel

LyX and styles
Dear list members,
At our company we deciced to use LyX to write software manuals for
our software. I have some experience of LaTeX. Because our tech-writers
don't know LaTeX at all, I'm writing them a template, layout and an
appropriate document class (.cls) to use. The base is normal book
layout, but I think I'll need to add some things to that.
We are using version 1.1.5. I have one problem (how to make work as easy
as possible for writers), which arises couple of questions:
1) Can I create a new style (or command), which I use inside of
normal paragraph. The functionality I have in mind is same than
with LaTeX macro like this:
\newcommand{\ExampleFormat}[1]{{\sl\ss #1}}
And as resulting LaTeX source it would look like:
"..this is a \ExampleFormat{example} paragraph of formatting..."
and after evaluation it would be:
"..this is a {\sl\ss example} paragraph of formatting..."
If I create this as a new style, it is used as a paragraph style.
Or is this still on "todo-list" of LyX?
2) Can I bound this style in to a toolbar button? So that I could use
it as a toggle button for formatting a text selection?
yours,
Tommi Rintala
page numbering
Hi I have a (probably) simple LaTeX question Page style plain puts the page number on the bottom of the page How do I get a plain number on the top of the page. I do not want any other text in the heading, wich appears there if I use the heading option in the page style use default article. Any suggestions? Best, Staffan

Use Layout->Document->Pagestyle fancy
Then in preamble
\cfoot{}\rfoot{}\lfoot{}
\chead{\rm\thepage}\rhead{}\lhead{}
or any other customization.
It's a bit more intricated if for a twosided document,
needs a look at the fancyhdr.sty doc.

LyX 1.1.5 for sgi IRIX
Anybody got a precompiled version of the latest LyX for sgi IRIX? I never made it compile myself. Always the same problems with xforms not found etc. Some precompiled binaries for the major platforms (Linux, Solaris, Aix, HPUX, IRIX, Win32) wouldn't do any harm to the LyX ftp site, I'd guess! It was common practice for the older versions but it somehow got lost after 1.0. Cheers Ralf

(I should be allowed to have my F1 key as mod-1 if I > want that and F2 as mod-4, how to handle Alt/Meta then?) Then you must bind Meta_L or Meta_R to the keycode auf F1 and Alt_L or Alt_R to the keycode of F2. This is part of the xkeycaps manpage: "The remaining modifier bits (Mod1 through Mod5) have semantics which are defined by the keys with which they are associated. ... That is, the Control modifier means Control if it is attached to Control_L or Control_R, and is illegal elsewhere. But Mod1 means Meta if it is attached to Meta_L or Meta_R; but it would mean Alt if it were attached to Alt_L or Alt_R; or Hyper with Hyper_L or Hyper_R; and so on. (It could not, however, be attached to Control_L, since the Control modifier has already spoken for those keysyms.) ... A client needing to use an extra modifier, for exam ple Meta, should: Scan the existing modifier mappings. If it finds a modifier that contains a keycode whose set of keysyms includes XK_Meta_L or XK_Meta_R, it should use that modifier bit. If there is no existing modifier controlled by XK_Meta_L or XK_Meta_R, it should select an unused modifier bit (one with an empty controlling set) and: If there is a keycode with XL_Meta_L in its set of keysyms, add that keycode to the set for the cho sen modifier, then if there is a keycode with XL_Meta_R in its set of keysyms, add that keycode to the set for the cho sen modifier, then if the controlling set is still empty, interact with the user to select one or more keys to be Meta. If there are no unused modifier bits, ask the user to take corrective action. " If you need more explanation, please read the xkeycap manpage, it explain the internals of keyboard settings very well, I think. > > Lgb Rick Janda

This is not yet possible, but planned. Actually, Lars has written some
description of how we should do that, but it has not been yet done.

Once the facility exists, it will be possible to bind it to an key

You can find an example at > http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg10889.html At least in 1.1.5cvs (probably one of the latest of the 1.1.5cvs versions) it doesn't work. LyX pops, asks if to export to file or printer, doesn't wait for an answer, closes the questioning pop-up and closes, no postscript is done, no latexing is done. Exporting to latex works ok though (this is what I use now), my problem is that it asks for the confirmation since there is a .tex file present, this should be avoided when doing it from command line. -- Baruch Even http://techst02.technion.ac.il/~sbaruch/ (My Site) http://rpghost.com/jindor/ (My brothers AD site) " Learn to laugh ... it's the path to true love!
