Re: class docbook W32
I noticed your recent posts about using Docbook with the Win32 port of LyX. I'd like to use Docbook with Win32 LyX too, but have been unable to find a file or package to install the document class - at the moment it's not even in my list of available styles I noticed that Marek Woloszyk mentions "sgml2lyx".

I have the Docbook DTDs etc but would be very grateful if somebody can help with info about the package I need to get LyX to show me a Docbook document class. I have a DocBook Article layout availabel in my LyX. This is the latest LyX release for Win32, maybe you should consider upgrading if you are not running the latest one? However, this is DocBook 3.1, not the latest (4.1). And what does the "Article" bit of it mean? Is this not a full fledge DocBook layout, but a subset? I can't seem to find the answers to these things. Neither can I find a layout for DocBook 4.1. The only chance seems to be to edit the existing layout file for the DocBook 3.1 Article, however I don't feel competent enough to do this, neither do I have the time. For the time beeing, I'm useing Emacs with psgml.

Re: second try: CJK-LyX with Japanese AND German support
as it seems I'm in a dilemma. Perhaps someone can help me. Basicly I'm writing in German but sometimes I also need Japanese (in the same document). So I installed CJK-LyX on an RedHat 6.2J and really managed to get japanese support for writing and printing -- but I lost the German support. As far as I see it depends on the LANG variable. If I define LANG as "de_DE", the japanese support doesn't work. If I define it "ja_JP" the german umlauts don't work although the document is defined in lyx as language=German and encoding=Latin1. (By the way the menues appear in German!) I also tried to define a secondary keyboard as german. But no success: documents written in German don't appear correctly and I can't write umlauts. Does anybody know a way to get japanese support in LyX without losing the Which of the following are you experiencing when LANG is set to ja_JP ? (1) You can't enter umlauts within LyX. (2) Umlauts are not shown in the LyX window (3) Umlauts are not shown in the DVI/Postscript. I suspect that (3) happens as the encoding defined by the inputenc package (Latin1) clashes with the encoding defined by the CJK package (Big5, GB etc.). Unfortunately all of these three happend. Folling the advice I got from "Tokyo Linux User Group"-mailinglist (see http://tlug.linux.or.jp/ML/0010), especially from Stephen J. Turnbull, I gave up the idea of using a japanese version as a basis, because the japanese versions are not made for multilingual tasks, and I also gave up using CJK-LyX which also seems not to support multilingual writing. Perhaps you need to use the UTF8 encoding option of the CJK package (if CJK-LyX supports it), or use Omega instead of LaTeX (if CJK-LYX supports it). Hmm, in the meantime I learned that this CJK package exists. It is said to be better for my purposes (mainly German, sometimes Japanese writing) than platex. I have also heared about Omega. But I have no idea how to get them running or how to integrate them into CJK-Lyx (I'm still a beginner in the latex-world). By the way it's not easy to get information about multilingual linux or latex. Mostly information about "Linux and Japanese" or MULE is related to getting a full japanese system (based on LANG=ja_JP), which of course supports English but not the Latin-1 languages. Also, if (3) happens, please send me a small example file (the lyx file + the latex file). Sorry, I can't. I returned to normal LyX on a non-Japanese linux system, and will try to get by with yudit or emacs for bilingual purposes. Anyhow, I plan of integrating the CJK-LyX into the normal version, and I hope that in this process your problem will be solved. That would be great! But perhaps it will be more difficult than you are thinking now. Gerhard Schuck [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: class docbook W32
In my LyX Latex configuration file (LaTeXConfig.lyx) I have this entry (for docbook) under Additional Classes. 4.6 docbook Found: no CTAN: N/A WWW: Url:http://www.sgmltools.org Notes: The class docbook is not a LaTeX document class. It is designed to produce Docbook SGML documents, which, in turn, can be exported as HTML, RTF, text, or dvi (through jadetex). You need the sgmltools v2.0 package installed to use this. I have a Windows NT envrioment set up with OpenJade, JadeTex, DocBook, stylesheets and whatever else is in here. so I can performe the desired conversion as long as LyX exports a sgml file for me. I guess that's why it doesn't show up as an available class in the menu Layout \ Document \ Class. It wasn't clear whether in your case, docbook DOES show as an available class or not? It does show up. As "DocBook Article". When exported to sgml, this has a doctype of DocBook 3.1. And I have a feeling that LyX does not provide all the elements of DocBook in the mentioned layout, If I try to start a new document from that docbook.layout file and go "view dvi" it gives me a LaTeX error even before I've changed or set anything. That's why I think that the docbook.layout file is just "for instance" and isn't capable of compiling anything. In any case, in my installation, with the "docbook" template file, I can not import or export anything more relevant than ASCII, so surely the engine room is empty no? I require conversion to html, pdf and rtf. And I have that. Not from withing LyX, but that is probably just a matter of configuring LyX properly. I do it by hand or load the sgml file into Emacs. By doing it this way, I also get a valid DVI file, no errors, trough JadeTex. Based on this, I think the docbook.layout file is working as intented by its authors. What I do need, and don't have is complete support for DocBook 4.1 (sgml, not xml) in LyX. Not 3.1. And I need someone to tell me that the support for this is complete, not a subset. I don't know how to acomplish this. I am guessing that an edit of the LyX layout file (docbook.layout) is required, but beyound that I don't have a clue.

initial enumerate counter value
Hello,
I'd like to have an enumerate environment, starting the count from 5
(rather than 1). The LaTeX effect I'd like to have is:
\begin{enumerate}
\setcounter{enumi}{5}
\item My First Item
\item My Second Item
\end{enumerate}
But in LyX, if I put ERT in the "Enumerate" enivronment, it's put into the
first item and not before it, while if I put it before the start of the
environment it has no effect.
Is there any solution short of manually editing the LaTeX output?
Thanks,
Lior.
Re: Bibtex and pdftex again, sorry!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Sorry, but I forgot how to convert a tex file with bibtex
references inpdf. I am using the lyx2pdf script, but it does
not work properly: the references do not appear.
1) File/Export/Latex (let's say, that your document is named
paper.lyx)
2) go to the command line (konsole, xterm, whatever)
3) check somehow (vi, mcedit, emacs) that you have somewhere in
the top of *.tex (among other \usepackage commands) either command
\usepackage{pslatex}
or
instead of pslatex, that there is times, palatino, newcent or
bookman. If there isn't any command from these, put it
there (anywhere between \documentclass and \begin{document}).
Preferably pslatex (the shortest PDF files) or palatino (closest
approximation of Computer Modern fonts).
4) run
pdflatex paper
5) run
bibtex paper
6) run
pdflatex paper
twice (check that pdflatex does not write anything about need of
rerunning).
That's it!

Re: second try: CJK-LyX with Japanese AND German support
as it seems I'm in a dilemma. Perhaps someone can help me. Basicly I'm writing in German but sometimes I also need Japanese (in the same document). So I installed CJK-LyX on an RedHat 6.2J and really managed to get japanese support for writing and printing -- but I lost the German support. As far as I see it depends on the LANG variable. If I define LANG as "de_DE", the japanese support doesn't work. If I define it "ja_JP" the german umlauts don't work although the document is defined in lyx as language=German and encoding=Latin1. (By the way the menues appear in German!) I also tried to define a secondary keyboard as german. But no success: documents written in German don't appear correctly and I can't write umlauts. Does anybody know a way to get japanese support in LyX without losing the Which of the following are you experiencing when LANG is set to ja_JP ? (1) You can't enter umlauts within LyX. (2) Umlauts are not shown in the LyX window (3) Umlauts are not shown in the DVI/Postscript. I suspect that (3) happens as the encoding defined by the inputenc package (Latin1) clashes with the encoding defined by the CJK package (Big5, GB etc.). Unfortunately all of these three happend. Folling the advice I got from "Tokyo Linux User Group"-mailinglist (see http://tlug.linux.or.jp/ML/0010), especially from Stephen J. Turnbull, I gave up the idea of using a japanese version as a basis, because the japanese versions are not made for multilingual tasks, and I also gave up using CJK-LyX which also seems not to support multilingual writing. Perhaps you need to use the UTF8 encoding option of the CJK package (if CJK-LyX supports it), or use Omega instead of LaTeX (if CJK-LYX supports it). Hmm, in the meantime I learned that this CJK package exists. It is said to be better for my purposes (mainly German, sometimes Japanese writing) than platex. I have also heared about Omega. But I have no idea how to get them running or how to integrate them into CJK-Lyx (I'm still a beginner in the latex-world). By the way it's not easy to get information about multilingual linux or latex. Mostly information about "Linux and Japanese" or MULE is related to getting a full japanese system (based on LANG=ja_JP), which of course supports English but not the Latin-1 languages. Also, if (3) happens, please send me a small example file (the lyx file + the latex file). Sorry, I can't. I returned to normal LyX on a non-Japanese linux system, and will try to get by with yudit or emacs for bilingual purposes. Anyhow, I plan of integrating the CJK-LyX into the normal version, and I hope that in this process your problem will be solved. That would be great! But perhaps it will be more difficult than you are thinking now. Gerhard Schuck [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: class docbook W32
In my LyX Latex configuration file (LaTeXConfig.lyx) I have this entry (for docbook) under Additional Classes. 4.6 docbook Found: no CTAN: N/A WWW: Url:http://www.sgmltools.org Notes: The class docbook is not a LaTeX document class. It is designed to produce Docbook SGML documents, which, in turn, can be exported as HTML, RTF, text, or dvi (through jadetex). You need the sgmltools v2.0 package installed to use this. I have a Windows NT envrioment set up with OpenJade, JadeTex, DocBook, stylesheets and whatever else is in here. so I can performe the desired conversion as long as LyX exports a sgml file for me. I guess that's why it doesn't show up as an available class in the menu Layout \ Document \ Class. It wasn't clear whether in your case, docbook DOES show as an available class or not? It does show up. As "DocBook Article". When exported to sgml, this has a doctype of DocBook 3.1. And I have a feeling that LyX does not provide all the elements of DocBook in the mentioned layout, If I try to start a new document from that docbook.layout file and go "view dvi" it gives me a LaTeX error even before I've changed or set anything. That's why I think that the docbook.layout file is just "for instance" and isn't capable of compiling anything. In any case, in my installation, with the "docbook" template file, I can not import or export anything more relevant than ASCII, so surely the engine room is empty no? I require conversion to html, pdf and rtf. And I have that. Not from withing LyX, but that is probably just a matter of configuring LyX properly. I do it by hand or load the sgml file into Emacs. By doing it this way, I also get a valid DVI file, no errors, trough JadeTex. Based on this, I think the docbook.layout file is working as intented by its authors. What I do need, and don't have is complete support for DocBook 4.1 (sgml, not xml) in LyX. Not 3.1. And I need someone to tell me that the support for this is complete, not a subset. I don't know how to acomplish this. I am guessing that an edit of the LyX layout file (docbook.layout) is required, but beyound that I don't have a clue.

initial enumerate counter value
Hello,
I'd like to have an enumerate environment, starting the count from 5
(rather than 1). The LaTeX effect I'd like to have is:
\begin{enumerate}
\setcounter{enumi}{5}
\item My First Item
\item My Second Item
\end{enumerate}
But in LyX, if I put ERT in the "Enumerate" enivronment, it's put into the
first item and not before it, while if I put it before the start of the
environment it has no effect.
Is there any solution short of manually editing the LaTeX output?
Thanks,
Lior.
Re: Bibtex and pdftex again, sorry!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Sorry, but I forgot how to convert a tex file with bibtex
references inpdf. I am using the lyx2pdf script, but it does
not work properly: the references do not appear.
1) File/Export/Latex (let's say, that your document is named
paper.lyx)
2) go to the command line (konsole, xterm, whatever)
3) check somehow (vi, mcedit, emacs) that you have somewhere in
the top of *.tex (among other \usepackage commands) either command
\usepackage{pslatex}
or
instead of pslatex, that there is times, palatino, newcent or
bookman. If there isn't any command from these, put it
there (anywhere between \documentclass and \begin{document}).
Preferably pslatex (the shortest PDF files) or palatino (closest
approximation of Computer Modern fonts).
4) run
pdflatex paper
5) run
bibtex paper
6) run
pdflatex paper
twice (check that pdflatex does not write anything about need of
rerunning).
That's it!

I can't seem to find the answers to these things. Neither can I find a layout for DocBook 4.1. The only chance seems to be to edit the existing layout file for the DocBook 3.1 Article, however I don't feel competent enough to do this, neither do I have the time. For the time beeing, I'm useing Emacs with psgml.

I require conversion to html, pdf and rtf. And I have that. Not from withing LyX, but that is probably just a matter of configuring LyX properly. I do it by hand or load the sgml file into Emacs. By doing it this way, I also get a valid DVI file, no errors, trough JadeTex. Based on this, I think the docbook.layout file is working as intented by its authors. What I do need, and don't have is complete support for DocBook 4.1 (sgml, not xml) in LyX. Not 3.1. And I need someone to tell me that the support for this is complete, not a subset. I don't know how to acomplish this. I am guessing that an edit of the LyX layout file (docbook.layout) is required, but beyound that I don't have a clue. And quite frankely, I don't care to find out either because I don't have the time for it. I'm currently, as I stated previously, using Emacs with psgml and I will continue to do this unitll somebody gets around to fix the DocBook document class for LyX. - IT

What version do you have (lyx)? It is possible to configure the way docbook is converted to any of those formats. > I require conversion to html, pdf and rtf. And I have that.

And I need someone > to tell me that the support for this is complete, not a subset. The support is not complete, is work in progress. We are missing mainly the inline elements, that will be supported as soon as the Logical Characther Styles are implemented. I have thought about the limitations regarding the availability of the different versions of docbook available, 3.0, 3.1, 3.1.x, 4.0, 4.1.x... And these versions have different flavours, sgml/xml. It is possible to have all those cases to be configured via lyxrc in ~/.lyx that would help alot. Example: \dtd docbook "PUBLIC" "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN" \dtd docbook-xml "PUBLIC" "-//Norman Walsh//DTD DocBk XML V3.1.7//EN" "docbookx.dtd" \dtd website "SYSTEM" "/usr/lib/sgml/dtd/website.dtd" The first parameter after the dtd would be present in the layout files. Also using the new converter from 1.1.6 we could specify different transformations for different formats, something like: \convert docbook dvi "method1" \convert docbook-xml ps "method2" \convert website html "method3" > I don't know how to acomplish this.

I translated some text (es.po) with kbabel. I'm using 1.1.5fix, but I have the sources on the other directory. From that I can run lyx whithout problem (another version). -- German Poo Caaman~o mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ubiobio.cl/~gpoo/chilelindo.html

One thing you may want to do is keep the ~/.lyx directories separate for the two version, since there may be configuration conflicts. For this configure the cvs version with --with-lyxname=lyx-1.1.6cvs [or whatever name \neq "lyx"]. This will creat a ~/.lyx-1.1.6cvs dir in addition to the existing ~/.lyx one. The executable will still be named 'src/lyx'. Lior.
initial enumerate counter value
Hello,
I'd like to have an enumerate environment, starting the count from 5
(rather than 1). The LaTeX effect I'd like to have is:
\begin{enumerate}
\setcounter{enumi}{5}
\item My First Item
\item My Second Item
\end{enumerate}
But in LyX, if I put ERT in the "Enumerate" enivronment, it's put into the
first item and not before it, while if I put it before the start of the
environment it has no effect.
Is there any solution short of manually editing the LaTeX output?
Thanks,
Lior.

1) File/Export/Latex (let's say, that your document is named
paper.lyx)
2) go to the command line (konsole, xterm, whatever)
3) check somehow (vi, mcedit, emacs) that you have somewhere in
the top of *.tex (among other \usepackage commands) either command
\usepackage{pslatex}
or
instead of pslatex, that there is times, palatino, newcent or
bookman. If there isn't any command from these, put it
there (anywhere between \documentclass and \begin{document}).
Preferably pslatex (the shortest PDF files) or palatino (closest
approximation of Computer Modern fonts).
4) run
pdflatex paper
5) run
bibtex paper
6) run
pdflatex paper
twice (check that pdflatex does not write anything about need of
rerunning).
That's it!

Thank you: it worked, but the problem is now that 1.1.6 doesn't seem to recognize my LANG environment variable, so it doesn't start in Spanish I can't figure how to tell LyX that he should use LANG=es.
