LyX deletes text
Hello LyX users! I am new on this list, but I've been using LyX for over a year now. It is one of my favorite programs. Right now I use version 1.1.4fix3 in SuSE Linux 7.0 and it is giving me some real headache. A book I am writing (Class: Book) starts with the title page and then a chapter which only icludes one verse and then there's a new chapter. Every time I open this file in LyX the title for the second chapter has vanished and also the first two sentences. The icon for this particular file looks different from all the others; .lyx* (icon 'executable', normally it's a 'c++' icon). Can someone inform me why this happens? One other thing I would like to ask is: how can I get LyX to stop including the date on the title page, this is a stupid function that I would like to permanently delete. Thank's in advance, ei -- @~~ EagleIce ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~@ @~~ Running GNU/Linux KDE ~~@

I have tried this before, but it does not solve the problem: it displaces
both columns by the same amount of space, not only the second column of the
list.
I am afraid I did not make myself clear enaugh: I did not mean the paragraph
indentation that can be found in the "more" tab, but what in German ist
called "Titelbreite" ("width of title"), a textfield in the first

Latex2html author says it is LyX's fault.
I got this email from Ross Moore about the problem I had with my
regression notes and latex2html. He sys LyX is not outputting proper
TeX for my user-defined paragraph environment "myHangIndent". That
specific point is about 2/3 of the way down, but I leave the rest for
context. My part begins with , the rest is from Ross Moore, who is
answing bug reports for latex2html today.
I have a TeX document that latex2html cannot process, apparently
because
it has this bit in the preamble:
%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
\newenvironment{HangIndent}
{\list{}{%
\setlength\leftmargin{1.5cm}% leftmargin
\itemindent-\leftmargin}\item{}}
{\endlist}
\newcommand\myHangIndent[1]{
\begin{HangIndent} #1
\end{HangIndent}
}
The problem is that LaTeX2HTML wants you to give the definition as:
\newcommand{\myHangIndent}[1]{... etc ...
With that, everything processes smoothly;
though it doesn't necessarily do the best possible translation.
e.g. have a look at:
http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/PJOHNSON/multRegNotes1/
Besides, LaTeX2HTML wrote a huge error message into the log-window,
saying that:
%%,,, *** Could not find argument for command \newcommand ***
viz:
Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/styles/inputenc.perl
Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/styles/babel.perl
Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/versions/lang.pl

Reading ...
%%,,, *** Could not find argument for command \newcommand ***
\myHangIndent[1]309
\begin13HangIndent13 #1
\end14HangIndent14
309
\par
If that bit is in the preamble, then the processing of math breaks,
and
equations get written to image files with format "hatb" instead of
a hat
over a b.
This doesn't happen for me.
It may be something left over from the other error though,
since almost the whole file was scanned looking for the { after
\newcommand .
I'll look at programming to lessen the severity of this "error".
I have the document in this directory:
http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/ps707/multReg1
The file is "multRegNotes1.tex"
I also have the lyx file from which it was exported and the 2 eps
figures are in the same directory.
Does LyX export as \newcommand\myHangIndent or was that yourself ?
You should complain to LyX for not doing \newcommand{\myHangIndent}
which is more in keeping with LaTeX style, although both work with
a TeX engine.
If I leave in the hangindent TeX above, the equations are ugly, and
I've
put just one example of an ugly one in that directory too:
http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/ps707/multReg1/img16.png
All the \ characters are lost.
This is typical when balance of environment delimiters gets badly
out-of-whack somehow.
If I delete the HangIndent from the Tex preamble and remove its one
usage, then latex2html is able to process the file without trouble.
I get this same result with latex2html 99.2 or 99.3, but one other
user
in the lyx user group showed me his version 96 worked fine on
Solaris.
If you can tell me what I did wrong, I'd appreciate it.
The above should help you to get the file processed satisfactorily.

I remember that I once read about \newcommand in a LaTeX textbook that its
arguments must not be spread across lines (may be this was a 2.09 feature
that got solved in 2e). I.e. LaTeX2HTML behaves as I would expect.
The same textbook offered a workaround using comment characters. One could do
\newcommand\myHangIndent[1]{%
\begin{HangIndent} #1%
\end{HangIndent}
as the % comments out everything until and including the EOL char.
Would this work with LaTeX2HTML?

float placement
Hi, I have a question on the placement of floats. I set in the layout-document-extra placement option the placement to bt. Now I have the problem that Lyx/Latex seems to prefer Top as my pictures are all on top of a side. As I understood the documentation a placement option of bt should prefer the bottom placement? Also I tried to set some floats at the right position where they were inserted or to place them on an extra page. Therefore I added a [h] or [p] in the first line of a float and set it to Latex-mode. But the only result is, that I see the [h] or [p] printed above the image. Does this method don't work with Lyx 1.1.6fix1 anymore? If yes, is there another possibility to achieve the individual placement of a float? Thanks for any help Thomas -- Thomas Geffert [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key available at: http://geffert.com/pgp.asc

problems saving \ldots ??
Hi folks, last weekend I installed RedHat 7.0 from scrach in a computer, and one of the first programs I compiled there was LyX 1.1.6fix1. All went weel until the moment I tried to save a file with \ldots within a Macro (or Math Inset, it does not matter). At first I though that there were wrong libraries around, but after some debugging it seems that the saving of the \ldots operator sends a NULL pointer to the operator, and LyX crashes. The error was reproduced several times in two different machines, both under RH 7.0. Does anybody know something about it, or how to fix it? thanks for the help, j. b. oliveira

A 1.1.5fix \mathbf{} won't save!
I'm running Lyx 1.1.5fix2 on a clone PC Debian system (is 1.1.6fix1
available as a .deb package?).
I noticed that when I inserted the ERT code \mathbf{numbers} then viewed
the results via xdvi to make sure things were perfect. Then saved the
document and quit LyX. Then started LyX and opened up the document that
all of the \mathbf{} settings I had made would be gone! All other
changes would be saved as expected except it was as if I never inserted
the \mathbf{} statements!
Am I doing something wrong? What is the proper method of bolding parts
of equations?
Finding figures
Hello, I am working on a paper with multiple authors. As a result we have two copies of the same lyx file. However, the location of figures are referenced with respect to the location of the lyx file. If the directory structure is user1/dir1/dir2/ and the lyx file is in /user1/dir1/dir2/file.lyx but the graphics file is under /user1/dir1/figure.eps then the figure's location is referenced in the menu as ../figure.eps So the pathname is relative to the location of the lyx file. However, because the other author is modifying his copy of the lyx file in another directory, he needs an absolute pathname for the figures. I've tried to manually force the pathname to be absolute but it always seems to convert the path to a relative path. Does anyone know how to force lyx to use an absolute pathname for its figures?? This seems like a bad design approach, but I might be missing something. Thanks! Kevin Bowman -- -| Kevin W. Bowman, PhD.

LyX deletes text
Hello LyX users! I am new on this list, but I've been using LyX for over a year now. It is one of my favorite programs. Right now I use version 1.1.4fix3 in SuSE Linux 7.0 and it is giving me some real headache. A book I am writing (Class: Book) starts with the title page and then a chapter which only icludes one verse and then there's a new chapter. Every time I open this file in LyX the title for the second chapter has vanished and also the first two sentences. The icon for this particular file looks different from all the others; .lyx* (icon 'executable', normally it's a 'c++' icon). Can someone inform me why this happens? One other thing I would like to ask is: how can I get LyX to stop including the date on the title page, this is a stupid function that I would like to permanently delete. Thank's in advance, ei -- @~~ EagleIce ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~@ @~~ Running GNU/Linux KDE ~~@

I have tried this before, but it does not solve the problem: it displaces
both columns by the same amount of space, not only the second column of the
list.
I am afraid I did not make myself clear enaugh: I did not mean the paragraph
indentation that can be found in the "more" tab, but what in German ist
called "Titelbreite" ("width of title"), a textfield in the first

Latex2html author says it is LyX's fault.
I got this email from Ross Moore about the problem I had with my
regression notes and latex2html. He sys LyX is not outputting proper
TeX for my user-defined paragraph environment "myHangIndent". That
specific point is about 2/3 of the way down, but I leave the rest for
context. My part begins with , the rest is from Ross Moore, who is
answing bug reports for latex2html today.
I have a TeX document that latex2html cannot process, apparently
because
it has this bit in the preamble:
%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
\newenvironment{HangIndent}
{\list{}{%
\setlength\leftmargin{1.5cm}% leftmargin
\itemindent-\leftmargin}\item{}}
{\endlist}
\newcommand\myHangIndent[1]{
\begin{HangIndent} #1
\end{HangIndent}
}
The problem is that LaTeX2HTML wants you to give the definition as:
\newcommand{\myHangIndent}[1]{... etc ...
With that, everything processes smoothly;
though it doesn't necessarily do the best possible translation.
e.g. have a look at:
http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/PJOHNSON/multRegNotes1/
Besides, LaTeX2HTML wrote a huge error message into the log-window,
saying that:
%%,,, *** Could not find argument for command \newcommand ***
viz:
Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/styles/inputenc.perl
Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/styles/babel.perl
Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/versions/lang.pl

Reading ...
%%,,, *** Could not find argument for command \newcommand ***
\myHangIndent[1]309
\begin13HangIndent13 #1
\end14HangIndent14
309
\par
If that bit is in the preamble, then the processing of math breaks,
and
equations get written to image files with format "hatb" instead of
a hat
over a b.
This doesn't happen for me.
It may be something left over from the other error though,
since almost the whole file was scanned looking for the { after
\newcommand .
I'll look at programming to lessen the severity of this "error".
I have the document in this directory:
http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/ps707/multReg1
The file is "multRegNotes1.tex"
I also have the lyx file from which it was exported and the 2 eps
figures are in the same directory.
Does LyX export as \newcommand\myHangIndent or was that yourself ?
You should complain to LyX for not doing \newcommand{\myHangIndent}
which is more in keeping with LaTeX style, although both work with
a TeX engine.
If I leave in the hangindent TeX above, the equations are ugly, and
I've
put just one example of an ugly one in that directory too:
http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/ps707/multReg1/img16.png
All the \ characters are lost.
This is typical when balance of environment delimiters gets badly
out-of-whack somehow.
If I delete the HangIndent from the Tex preamble and remove its one
usage, then latex2html is able to process the file without trouble.
I get this same result with latex2html 99.2 or 99.3, but one other
user
in the lyx user group showed me his version 96 worked fine on
Solaris.
If you can tell me what I did wrong, I'd appreciate it.
The above should help you to get the file processed satisfactorily.

I remember that I once read about \newcommand in a LaTeX textbook that its
arguments must not be spread across lines (may be this was a 2.09 feature
that got solved in 2e). I.e. LaTeX2HTML behaves as I would expect.
The same textbook offered a workaround using comment characters. One could do
\newcommand\myHangIndent[1]{%
\begin{HangIndent} #1%
\end{HangIndent}
as the % comments out everything until and including the EOL char.
Would this work with LaTeX2HTML?

float placement
Hi, I have a question on the placement of floats. I set in the layout-document-extra placement option the placement to bt. Now I have the problem that Lyx/Latex seems to prefer Top as my pictures are all on top of a side. As I understood the documentation a placement option of bt should prefer the bottom placement? Also I tried to set some floats at the right position where they were inserted or to place them on an extra page. Therefore I added a [h] or [p] in the first line of a float and set it to Latex-mode. But the only result is, that I see the [h] or [p] printed above the image. Does this method don't work with Lyx 1.1.6fix1 anymore? If yes, is there another possibility to achieve the individual placement of a float? Thanks for any help Thomas -- Thomas Geffert [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key available at: http://geffert.com/pgp.asc

problems saving \ldots ??
Hi folks, last weekend I installed RedHat 7.0 from scrach in a computer, and one of the first programs I compiled there was LyX 1.1.6fix1. All went weel until the moment I tried to save a file with \ldots within a Macro (or Math Inset, it does not matter). At first I though that there were wrong libraries around, but after some debugging it seems that the saving of the \ldots operator sends a NULL pointer to the operator, and LyX crashes. The error was reproduced several times in two different machines, both under RH 7.0. Does anybody know something about it, or how to fix it? thanks for the help, j. b. oliveira

A 1.1.5fix \mathbf{} won't save!
I'm running Lyx 1.1.5fix2 on a clone PC Debian system (is 1.1.6fix1
available as a .deb package?).
I noticed that when I inserted the ERT code \mathbf{numbers} then viewed
the results via xdvi to make sure things were perfect. Then saved the
document and quit LyX. Then started LyX and opened up the document that
all of the \mathbf{} settings I had made would be gone! All other
changes would be saved as expected except it was as if I never inserted
the \mathbf{} statements!
Am I doing something wrong? What is the proper method of bolding parts
of equations?
Finding figures
Hello, I am working on a paper with multiple authors. As a result we have two copies of the same lyx file. However, the location of figures are referenced with respect to the location of the lyx file. If the directory structure is user1/dir1/dir2/ and the lyx file is in /user1/dir1/dir2/file.lyx but the graphics file is under /user1/dir1/figure.eps then the figure's location is referenced in the menu as ../figure.eps So the pathname is relative to the location of the lyx file. However, because the other author is modifying his copy of the lyx file in another directory, he needs an absolute pathname for the figures. I've tried to manually force the pathname to be absolute but it always seems to convert the path to a relative path. Does anyone know how to force lyx to use an absolute pathname for its figures?? This seems like a bad design approach, but I might be missing something. Thanks! Kevin Bowman -- -| Kevin W. Bowman, PhD.

I suggest that you use the list environment instead and include in ERT the following staement right before the list:
\setlength{2 in}
you can then "play" with the length to suit your needs

LyX deletes text
Hello LyX users! I am new on this list, but I've been using LyX for over a year now. It is one of my favorite programs. Right now I use version 1.1.4fix3 in SuSE Linux 7.0 and it is giving me some real headache. A book I am writing (Class: Book) starts with the title page and then a chapter which only icludes one verse and then there's a new chapter. Every time I open this file in LyX the title for the second chapter has vanished and also the first two sentences. The icon for this particular file looks different from all the others; .lyx* (icon 'executable', normally it's a 'c++' icon). Can someone inform me why this happens? One other thing I would like to ask is: how can I get LyX to stop including the date on the title page, this is a stupid function that I would like to permanently delete. Thank's in advance, ei -- @~~ EagleIce ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~@ @~~ Running GNU/Linux & KDE ~~@

Thank you for your reply, but I don't quite understand what you mean by
'preample'. If you mean in the beginning of the work-file itself then that
didn't work, \date{} appeared beside the title!

I am afraid I did not make myself clear enaugh: I did not mean the paragraph
indentation that can be found in the "more" tab, but what in German ist
called "Titelbreite" ("width of title"), a textfield in the first
paragraph-layout popup.

The problem is that LaTeX2HTML wants you to give the definition as:
\newcommand{\myHangIndent}[1]{... etc ...
With that, everything processes smoothly;
though it doesn't necessarily do the best possible translation.
e.g. have a look at:
http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/PJOHNSON/multRegNotes1/
Besides, LaTeX2HTML wrote a huge error message into the log-window,
saying that:
%%,,, *** Could not find argument for command \newcommand ***
viz:
Loading /usr/local/lib/latex2html/styles/inputenc.perl

Reading ...

This doesn't happen for me.
It may be something left over from the other error though,
since almost the whole file was scanned looking for the { after
\newcommand .
I'll look at programming to lessen the severity of this "error".

Does LyX export as \newcommand\myHangIndent or was that yourself ?
You should complain to LyX for not doing \newcommand{\myHangIndent}
which is more in keeping with LaTeX style, although both work with
a TeX engine.

All the \ characters are lost.
This is typical when balance of environment delimiters gets badly
out-of-whack somehow.

The above should help you to get the file processed satisfactorily.

I remember that I once read about \newcommand in a LaTeX textbook that its
arguments must not be spread across lines (may be this was a 2.09 feature
that got solved in 2e). I.e. LaTeX2HTML behaves as I would expect.
The same textbook offered a workaround using comment characters. One could do
\newcommand\myHangIndent[1]{%
\begin{HangIndent} #1%
\end{HangIndent}
as the % comments out everything until and including the EOL char.
Would this work with LaTeX2HTML?

this is in standard TEX-format

\setlength{\myHangIndentSize}{1cm}
\newenvironment{HangIndent}
{\list{}{
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\myHangIndentSize}
\itemindent-\leftmargin}\item{}}
{\endlist}
\newcommand{\myHangIndent}[1]{%
\begin{HangIndent}#1
\end{HangIndent}%
}
tth excepts a definition like \setlength\aLength..., but not latex2html
anyway, latex2html doesn't work for me, if i use the command
myHangIndent!

The latex code below is not included in the lyx file, but is generated by
your (modified) article.layout file.
Therefore, I didn't have a problem with your file.

float placement
Hi, I have a question on the placement of floats. I set in the layout->document->extra placement option the placement to bt. Now I have the problem that Lyx/Latex seems to prefer Top as my pictures are all on top of a side. As I understood the documentation a placement option of bt should prefer the bottom placement? Also I tried to set some floats at the right position where they were inserted or to place them on an extra page. Therefore I added a [h] or [p] in the first line of a float and set it to Latex-mode. But the only result is, that I see the [h] or [p] printed above the image. Does this method don't work with Lyx 1.1.6fix1 anymore? If yes, is there another possibility to achieve the individual placement of a float? Thanks for any help Thomas -- Thomas Geffert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key available at: http://geffert.com/pgp.asc

problems saving \ldots ??
Hi folks, last weekend I installed RedHat 7.0 from scrach in a computer, and one of the first programs I compiled there was LyX 1.1.6fix1. All went weel until the moment I tried to save a file with \ldots within a Macro (or Math Inset, it does not matter). At first I though that there were wrong libraries around, but after some debugging it seems that the saving of the \ldots operator sends a NULL pointer to the << operator, and LyX crashes. The error was reproduced several times in two different machines, both under RH 7.0. Does anybody know something about it, or how to fix it? thanks for the help, j. b. oliveira

A 1.1.5fix \mathbf{} won't save!
I'm running Lyx 1.1.5fix2 on a clone PC Debian system (is 1.1.6fix1
available as a .deb package?).
I noticed that when I inserted the ERT code \mathbf{numbers} then viewed
the results via xdvi to make sure things were perfect. Then saved the
document and quit LyX. Then started LyX and opened up the document that
all of the \mathbf{} settings I had made would be gone! All other
changes would be saved as expected except it was as if I never inserted
the \mathbf{} statements!
Am I doing something wrong? What is the proper method of bolding parts

If the directory structure is user1/dir1/dir2/ and the lyx file is in /user1/dir1/dir2/file.lyx but the graphics file is under /user1/dir1/figure.eps then the figure's location is referenced in the menu as ../figure.eps So the pathname is relative to the location of the lyx file. However, because the other author is modifying his copy of the lyx file in another directory, he needs an absolute pathname for the figures. I've tried to manually force the pathname to be absolute but it always seems to convert the path to a relative path. Does anyone know how to force lyx to use an absolute pathname for its figures?? This seems like a bad design approach, but I might be missing something. Thanks! Kevin Bowman -- -| Kevin W. Bowman, PhD.
