Meta Key

[Yann Collete]

Hello,

I've a problem with the Meta key.
I use an Unix Emulator (Exceed) and a french keyboard.
For this keyboard, the meta key is binded to the escape key
(it works fine under xemacs).
Under Lyx, I use the emacs binding (which redefine the meta key as
the escape key). It works fine (I can insert an equation using 
Esc-m m). But when I am under math editor, if I want to insert
an exponent (Esc-m e) or an index (Esc-m i), when I press the Esc
key, I leave the math editor. So, I think the binding (Meta = Esc)
is not working under the math editor.
How can I do to have the meta binding working correctly under the
math editor ?

Your sincerely,

Yann COLLETTE

 In LaTeX you can provide an optional argument to caption, that is used
 in the tof. In LyX you could try to put [your tof text] as the first
 thing in the caption.

This won't work.

A nice way for having both caption and a short caption is the following:

Modify the stdlayouts.inc file (or just the layout file
you use for your document), adding to it the following lines:

---begin-
Style ShortCaption
 CopyStyle Caption
 LatexName setshortcaption
 LabelString   "Short Caption:"
 LabelType Static
 Preamble
\let\oldcaption=\caption
\renewcommand{\caption}[1]{
\ifx \shortcaption \undefined
  \oldcaption{#1}
\else
  \oldcaption[\shortcaption]{#1}
\fi
}
\newcommand{\setshortcaption}[1]{
\newcommand{\shortcaption}{#1}
}
 EndPreamble
End
-end-
Then you can put a short caption paragraph before your caption paragraph.

[Yann Collete]

Hello,

Finally, I solved the problem.
Under Exceed, the Alt key is defined as a system key.
When you press the Alt key a first time, the focus swap from X to
windows and when you press the Alt key for the second time,
the focus swap from windows to X. In the configuration menu, you can
change this behavior. I select for the Alt Key: "To X". So, now
when I press the Alt key, the focus doesn't change and the Alt key
behave correctly in Lyx.

\vspace in multicols{}

[Jim Osborn]

Can someone help explain how to put some extra blank vertical
space in a column in a multicols environment?  For example,
in a 3-column page, I can put \vspace*{10in} or whatever, and
push the subsequent text to the bottom of the first column.
But I can't seem to push it to the top of the second column!
If I add more space, it seems to simply push the text further
down, off the bottom of the page.  If I put a \newpage in the
first column, it gives me an entire blank page, starting the
text at the top of the next page.

I can't seem to get the text to flow gracefully between columns
with spacing commands.  Is there a way to do this?

TIA,

Jim

Re: \vspace in multicols{}

[Christopher Jones]

Couple of things: in the paragraph dialogue, you can set vfill above and below,
and you can "keep" it. Try playing around with this.

Also, the multicol package tries to adjust stuff to fill the whole column. If
you specify \raggedcolumns then you can override this behavior and specify your
own pushings around.

 In LaTeX you can provide an optional argument to caption, that is used
 in the tof. In LyX you could try to put [your tof text] as the first
 thing in the caption.

This won't work.

A nice way for having both caption and a short caption is the following:

Modify the stdlayouts.inc file (or just the layout file
you use for your document), adding to it the following lines:

---begin-
Style ShortCaption
 CopyStyle Caption
 LatexName setshortcaption
 LabelString   "Short Caption:"
 LabelType Static
 Preamble
\let\oldcaption=\caption
\renewcommand{\caption}[1]{
\ifx \shortcaption \undefined
  \oldcaption{#1}
\else
  \oldcaption[\shortcaption]{#1}
\fi
}
\newcommand{\setshortcaption}[1]{
\newcommand{\shortcaption}{#1}
}
 EndPreamble
End
-end-
Then you can put a short caption paragraph before your caption paragraph.

[Yann Collete]

Hello,

Finally, I solved the problem.
Under Exceed, the Alt key is defined as a system key.
When you press the Alt key a first time, the focus swap from X to
windows and when you press the Alt key for the second time,
the focus swap from windows to X. In the configuration menu, you can
change this behavior. I select for the Alt Key: "To X". So, now
when I press the Alt key, the focus doesn't change and the Alt key
behave correctly in Lyx.

\vspace in multicols{}

[Jim Osborn]

Can someone help explain how to put some extra blank vertical
space in a column in a multicols environment?  For example,
in a 3-column page, I can put \vspace*{10in} or whatever, and
push the subsequent text to the bottom of the first column.
But I can't seem to push it to the top of the second column!
If I add more space, it seems to simply push the text further
down, off the bottom of the page.  If I put a \newpage in the
first column, it gives me an entire blank page, starting the
text at the top of the next page.

I can't seem to get the text to flow gracefully between columns
with spacing commands.  Is there a way to do this?

TIA,

Jim

Re: \vspace in multicols{}

[Christopher Jones]

Couple of things: in the paragraph dialogue, you can set vfill above and below,
and you can "keep" it. Try playing around with this.

Also, the multicol package tries to adjust stuff to fill the whole column. If
you specify \raggedcolumns then you can override this behavior and specify your
own pushings around.

find; LyX even recognizes what I'm trying to do and display the

Re: RTF: changing linespacing for a single paragraph

You can change the spacing of a particular paragraph via the command
  M-x paragraph-spacing double

There is unfortunately no GUI way of doing this (yet). Valid values
are "single", "onehalf", "double", "other " and "default".

In case you don't know, you can use the ^ and _ keys for exponent/index.

Meta Key

Hello again,

How can I bind the right control, left control or alt key to the Meta key
in a bind file.
I've tried:
\bind "Alt""Meta-prefix"
but lyx doesn't recognize the Alt symbol.

You can't. What you have to do is play with xmodmap settings so that
Meta is right (or see if you can improve your x server configuration).

I thing that currently the mathed doesn't support languages that use
charcters other than 7bit ASCII.
This will hopefully be fixed soon.

In the meantime you can use \newcommand to write the text outside of mathed:
Before the formula put the following (in latex mode)
\newcommand{\txt}{\textrm{Your text}}
and in the formula put \txt.

A different solution: put
\newcommand{inch}[1]{\raisebox{0pt}[\height][1.4\depth]{\ensuremath{#1}}}
in the preamble, and then put \inch{} around each instance of H^x_g.

This won't work.

A nice way for having both caption and a short caption is the following:

Modify the stdlayouts.inc file (or just the layout file
you use for your document), adding to it the following lines:

---begin-
Style ShortCaption
 CopyStyle Caption
 LatexName setshortcaption
 LabelString   "Short Caption:"
 LabelType Static
 Preamble
\let\oldcaption=\caption
\renewcommand{\caption}[1]{
\ifx \shortcaption \undefined
  \oldcaption{#1}
\else
  \oldcaption[\shortcaption]{#1}
\fi
}
\newcommand{\setshortcaption}[1]{
\newcommand{\shortcaption}{#1}
}
 EndPreamble
End
-end-
Then you can put a short caption paragraph before your caption paragraph.

Meta Key

[Yann Collete]

Hello,

Finally, I solved the problem.
Under Exceed, the Alt key is defined as a system key.
When you press the Alt key a first time, the focus swap from X to
windows and when you press the Alt key for the second time,
the focus swap from windows to X. In the configuration menu, you can
change this behavior. I select for the Alt Key: "To X". So, now
when I press the Alt key, the focus doesn't change and the Alt key
behave correctly in Lyx.

Your sincerely,

Yann COLLETTE

I could contribute debian 2.2/potato packages (libc6 2.1.3) for PC and
PPC if anybody's interested, and they compile... I'd start with
1.1.6fix2 though, which seems to be due out.

Before we do anything, you should probably see with Jules Bean
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) whether your packages are done with the right
description file (I have to admit I do not know much about that). I
would not want to have him annoyed at seeing non-official deb files
floating around.

Let's say I'll upload the file when I get an OK from Jules (Jules, are
you here?)

Good question :-) I've started writing a set of XSL stylesheets to
translate a DocBook XML document to LyX (DB2LyX).

You can first read the install & use file at:
http://perso.libertysurf.fr/bgu/db2lyx/manual.html
or/and download the package (that includes the manual file) at:
http://perso.libertysurf.fr/bgu/db2lyx/db2lyx-0.1.tar.gz

It is the very first release, and many things are missing. Please
contact me if you have any troubles with it, wishes or remarks.

I am still having problems to install - Solaris

[leo ber]

Hi
I am still trying to install Lyx on Solaris 8. I was having problems when I
was running make, so somebody suggest me to use gmake. I got gmake and
installed it...fi... and then when I use gmake on the lyx installation , I
got a little bit farther but gmake crashes too reporting this:

(Sorry for the long attachment... But if somebody has installed lyx on solaris
8, please let me know because I am really tired of equation editor 3.0 (word),
I could run the lyx on windows but it needs the xclient program that shutdowns
every 2 hours and it gets annoying...)

Thanks 
Leo

\vspace in multicols{}

[Jim Osborn]

Can someone help explain how to put some extra blank vertical
space in a column in a multicols environment?  For example,
in a 3-column page, I can put \vspace*{10in} or whatever, and
push the subsequent text to the bottom of the first column.
But I can't seem to push it to the top of the second column!
If I add more space, it seems to simply push the text further
down, off the bottom of the page.  If I put a \newpage in the
first column, it gives me an entire blank page, starting the
text at the top of the next page.

I can't seem to get the text to flow gracefully between columns
with spacing commands.  Is there a way to do this?

TIA,

Jim

Re: \vspace in multicols{}

[Christopher Jones]

Couple of things: in the paragraph dialogue, you can set vfill above and below,
and you can "keep" it. Try playing around with this.

Also, the multicol package tries to adjust stuff to fill the whole column. If
you specify \raggedcolumns then you can override this behavior and specify your
own pushings around.

stupid newbie question...

[Todd L. Miller]

I do a 'M_c t', type '\circumflex a' and get an error from
LaTeX: 'Undefined control sequence.
\circumflex
o'

When I 'C_m' into Math mode, and type '\hat a', everything works
find; LyX even recognizes what I'm trying to do and display the
(emphasized) a with a hat.  (Trying '\hat a' instead of circumlex, above,
fails, LaTeX thinking I forgot to put myself in math mode.)

So how do I get normal text accents (and/or normal TeX macros?) to
work?  I'm using the the sequentially-numbered AMS article format.

Thanks.
