Re: LongTable and MiniPage


Many thanks for your reply.

 This is how minipages work.
Let me ask a small question on this occasion - do you mean that a minipage
will NEVER be split over pages (even if it is just a long piece of text) ?

 Why do you need it inside a minipage?
On principle because I have a lng table with quite a lot of
footnotes in it. So I just wanted to have a separate minipage with this
table (and embedded footnotes).
But ... if this is not possible ... I think I can also live with the
longtable and footnotes in the bottom of the page.
Best regards,
Jacek.
P.S. May I ask an unrelated question - when is the 1.1.6fix2 planed ?

Re: Lyx*geometry not understood by 1.1.6fix1

2001-04-25 Thread Ralph L. Meyer


Hi Guenter...
I had the same problem.  The only way I found around it was to include
the command line command in a start button on the Enlightenment start
bar.  LyX does not seem to want to respond to the .Xdefaults file at
all.  Also, since I'm using a hi-res screen, I couldn't use the straignt
numbers of pixels I wanted the LyX window to open to.  I had to multiply
the -geometry figures by a third to a half again to get LyX to the size
I wanted it to open as.

The command line in the Enlightenment start-bar button is in the same
form as the one you used to start LyX the way you want it from a
terminal:

lyx -geometry NNNxNNN

I couldn't find anything else that worked.  Developers?  Any answers?
Best,
Ralph

RTF LaTex conversion

2001-04-25 Thread Shawn Koons


Is there a program that will convert RTF to LaTex (or Lyx) that would
make it easier to import a document into Lyx with most of the formatting

Converting RTF to, importing the text to Lyx, and then going through the

 Did you already try \mbox{\AA}? It works fine here (lyx 1.1.6 on Linux)

I've just tried the mbox method (i must have missed it before)
this seems stable across saves and reopening

Thanks for the workaround!

I wouldn't know how to implement it, but I'll second the request.  In
addition to a transpose-characters (C-t) function, LyX could use a
transpose-words (M-t) function; improved implementations of
word-capitalize, word-lowcase, and word-upcase functions; and
sentence-sensitive commands like delete-to-end-of-sentence (M-d),
go-to-end-of-sentence (M-e) and go-to-beginning-of-sentence (M-a).

Having customizable panels both for math macros and ordinary macros

I´m a Lyx-newbie and ran in two problems:

1. The linebreaks within words at the TOC look ugly. How can I prevent
these linebreaks in the TOC?
I tried

 \mbox{ bla bla .bla}

but then, there wasn´t any linebreak at all and the line in the TOC left
the right margin. The section line looks
quite OK in the normal text, so I don´t want to do a linebreak in the
section line, causing the TOC-line to behave the same.

You will get in trouble as well with the runnib headers I guess.
The optional text in sectioning instructions allows to get
shorter test in both places.


2. I tried Herbert Voss´ trick to prevent pagenumbering showing up in the
TOC:

 \tableofcontents
 \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}

The problem is, that I´m using fancyheader, so I tried a

 \addtocontents{toc} {\protect\fancyfoot{}}

This works fine for the TOC, but in the normal text, the pagenumbering at
even pages disappeared.

Thanks in advance

I personnaly use the fancyplain facility to change headers and footers
for special pages (i.e. no printing of chaptermarks in the first page
of a chapter. Yous shouls have look at the fancyhdr doc.

I did this before, but I´m only able to avoid pagenumbering at the first
page of the TOC.
Though I did a

\fancyfoot[LE]{\thepage}

at the plain text after the TOC to reestablish the settings in the
LATEX-preface, there this is already entered. This works, but I think,
that´s not the way it should be handeled.

Put the following line in the preamble

Perhaps a better solution is to put the following lines in the preamble

 Very weird.  sigc++/acconfig.h should be in the distribution. So everyone

 What's happening is that acconfig.h is missing so make is trying one of

You can change a word to lower case by pressing M-c down, or capitalize a

Since your document is long, I suggest you use perl to change all the text

export it as ascii, or copy and paste the text in an

than run bash-command

Great news (at least for me)! Thank you for implementing this :-)
Will it be included in 1.2.0? And what does support mean: the 
additional bibtex runs or also the bibtopic environments (btSect. . .)?

Who cares about proprietary Maple ;)
What would be nice to have is importing of LaTeX generated by
Maxima. Unfortunately it just doesn't work. No error messages, but the
math will have very little WYSIWYM on the screen and LaTeX won't process
the result. Here's small example:

\documentclass[english]{article}
\begin{document}
$${{1}\over{\sqrt{3}}}\leqno{\tt (D1)}$$
\end{document}

(Maxima generates only the math line, header and tail was inserted by me).

2001-04-25 Thread Juha Siltala



Hi,

Our Department (of History in the U of Oulu, Finland) has, of course,
their own demands on the looks of things... Here are what are not quite
obvious (to me):

1. Page numbering:
First page. This is the "front page". I get a page number here,
which is not good.
Second page. Table of contents. This should be page 1. No number
should be shown though.

2. Table of Contents: "Introduction" and "Conclusion" should not be
numbered, but should show up in the TOC. Same goes for "Bibliography".

3. Bibliography: I need to have separate sections for stuff like
"sources", "research", "printed"/"electronic documents" and the like. So
there should be some headings for these.

4. References to the former: I see that lyx makes square brackets (which I
can't seem to procuce on this terminal) around references in text. The
Department wants me to refer in footnotes and not in the text, which make
these inappropriate (what? how do you spell that?). Same goes in the
References in the end:

Baggins 1605Bilbo Baggins, Memoires. Rivendell 1605
 ^
(no brackets wanted)

5. This has been discussed here, but I forgot how to change the heading of
"References" (I get "Viitteet", need "Lähteet")

This may all be due to using the wrong document classes, of course. I've
tried Report (koma, too). Perhaps there is a class somewhere I could
install, called, ah, maybe, "Historical thesis class for Europeans,
especially preferred by Professor Manninen" - I could settle for something
less spesific, too :-)

Thanks in advance,

This is plain TeX, you get a right dvi output in LyX if you change
the $$ in $ and wipe out the \leqno{\tt (D1)} (which doesn't make
sense anyway if you want to reference equations at your will).
This is easy to automate.

You would get no ERT at all in LyX if reLyX was able to convert
{1}\over{\sqrt{3}} as \frac{1}{sqrt{3}}: this is more difficult...
Is it a weakness of reLyX (i.e. no implementation of math TeX constructs
in mathed ?).

So, how do you do it? ;-)

I'd like to see LyX as a GUI for some open Algebra System (something like
Scientific workplace?) i.e. not so much for changing formulars on the fly
but as a kind of "very pretty printing notebook". (Of course with the option
to integrate the results in a "normal" LyX document.)

I wonder whether the Lyxpipes are sufficient to achieve this or whether some
changes whithin LyX are required.

There is a promising open Computer Algebra System on the net called YACAS
(http://www.xs4all.nl/~apinkus/) (I haven't tried yet) also MuPad
(http://www.mupad.de/) could be interesting (although not open source) It
allowes to specify the output format (and has already a latex output
library (although this did not work for me)) so it might be convinced to send
something interpretable to the Lyxpipe.

It's possible to change page number, afaik, but I don't know how.

For the first two, you could use "Section*" environment and then write

\addtocontents{toc}{otsikonnimi}

That's not a job for reLyX, but for the mathed parser...

Works only with latest CVS and the patch I send yesterday to lyx-devel
and only for a very limited set of operations.

Note that this combination is not to be used for serious work. Latest
recommended version for serious work involving math is CVS from early
February, but using one of 1.1.6fixes or even 1.1.5 should be even better.

It would probably work with LyXpipes, but that's not what has been used.

All that is needed is either LaTeX or something easily convertable to
LaTeX. So MuPAD should be fine in the end. I have never tried YACAS,
though.

You will get in trouble as well with the runnib headers I guess.
The optional text in sectioning instructions allows to get

Well, I care, since that's what I am using.

The Maple specific code is currently 57 lines and can be
removed/changed/whatever anytime without recompilation.

\over is evil since it is not properly read by the parser. Well, the parser
needs a rewrite anyway, but apart from that this Maxima input does not
sound too hard to do.

The "\samepage" LaTeX command works, to be found for example in Kopka

This is not a bug: when you put 'magyar' as an optional argument to 
\documentclass, it is passed to all packages, so \usepackage{babel} and
\usepackage[magyar]{babel} are equivalent.

Do you get the 'usepackage[T1]{fontenc}' when using 'default' language ?

The exact name is bibtopic. Get it at
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/bibtopic/

But notice that LyX doesn't support it by itself (yet). You need an 
external script written by Herbert Voss which runs bibtex as often as 
needed by this package.
Have a look at:

It may be, but the missing "\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}" line is bug,
because the division of words will be wrong. Unfortunatly I can't try

Well, it's work with this setting. It's ok. But I think it would be
better if it will be get into next release, because there are a lots of

Lyx*geometry not understood by 1.1.6fix1

2001-04-25 Thread






Hi,

since I upgraded to LyX 1.1.6fix1 (via rpm), LyX does not react on my
~.Xdefault setting. I had two lines telling

LyX*width: 720
LyX*height:670

and with 1.1.5 this worked well. After looking in the man page, I changed
this to

LyX*geometry 720x670

but still no effect. However, starting LyX from a terminal with

lyx -geometry 720x670

works as desired.

Anyone else had this problem? 
(I know, I could make an alias, still I wonder
whether there is another solution.)

Many thanks for your reply.

Let me ask a small question on this occasion - do you mean that a minipage
will NEVER be split over pages (even if it is just a long piece of text) ?

> Why do you "need" it inside a minipage?
On principle because I have a "lng" table with quite a lot of
footnotes in it. So I just wanted to have a separate minipage with this
table (and "embedded" footnotes).
But ... if this is not possible ... I think I can also live with the
longtable and footnotes in the bottom of the page.

Hi Guenter...
I had the same problem.  The only way I found around it was to include
the command line command in a start button on the Enlightenment start
bar.  LyX does not seem to want to respond to the .Xdefaults file at
all.  Also, since I'm using a hi-res screen, I couldn't use the straignt
numbers of pixels I wanted the LyX window to open to.  I had to multiply
the -geometry figures by a third to a half again to get LyX to the size
I wanted it to open as.

The command line in the Enlightenment start-bar button is in the same
form as the one you used to start LyX the way you want it from a
terminal:

lyx -geometry NNNxNNN

I couldn't find anything else that worked.  Developers?  Any answers?
Best,
Ralph

Converting RTF to, importing the text to Lyx, and then going through the

I've just tried the mbox method (i must have missed it before)
this seems stable across saves and reopening
the  saved version looks like this

\begin_inset Formula \( \Delta vol=\frac{4\pi }{3}\left( 
r_{pH2}-r_{pH7}\right) ^{3}=\frac{4\pi }{3}\left( 17.87\mbox {\AA 
}-16.03\mbox {\AA }\right) ^{3}=\frac{4\pi }{3}*6.263\mbox {\AA 
}^{3}=26.24\mbox {\AA }^{3} \)


Well that puts my homework out the door but doesn't explain this textrm 
problem (I think its save to say its a problem with textrm since the mbox 
method works).
Thanks for the workaround!

I think my goal is now two fold
1) figure out what this textrm is all about and why it gets funky on save and 
reopen
2) add something like \rho or \pi for \AA to the math mode so that we don't 
have to enter another mode to get this symbol  (and maybe others?)

Thanks again for all your kind help and suggestions for how to get this 
working.

Put \usepackage{afterpage} in the preamble, and then
use \afterpage{\clearpage} instead of just \clearpage

I wouldn't know how to implement it, but I'll second the request.  In
addition to a transpose-characters (C-t) function, LyX could use a
transpose-words (M-t) function; improved implementations of
word-capitalize, word-lowcase, and word-upcase functions; and
sentence-sensitive commands like delete-to-end-of-sentence (M-d),
go-to-end-of-sentence (M-e) and go-to-beginning-of-sentence (M-a).

For the eternal wish-list ...

Having customizable panels both for math macros and ordinary macros
is more urgent IMHO, unless such an embedding helps to do it.

We've got here a tool prone to formula typesetting and the
reuse of already available stuff is far too rough. 
Anyone having used Ann Arbor's SGML implementation of TeX will 
see what I mean I guess.

Sorry I can't give a hand on it...

I did this before, but I´m only able to avoid pagenumbering at the first
page of the TOC.
Though I did a

\fancyfoot[LE]{\thepage}

at the plain text after the TOC to reestablish the settings in the
LATEX-preface, there this is already entered. This works, but I think,
that´s not the way it should be handeled.

Put the following line in the preamble
  \newcommand{\mAA}{\mbox{\AA}}
in the preamble, and then use \mAA in math mode.

Perhaps a better solution is to put the following lines in the preamble
  \let\oldAA=\AA
  \renewcommand{\AA}{\ensuremath{\mbox{\oldAA}}}
and then you can use \AA in math mode.

OK, I have no clue how to do it in C++ and I cannot programm 
well, but I was able to do it in my Word (a long time ago, when 
have been working with it) like this:

Sub Prohodit()
Dim Pom As String
With Selection
.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
Pom = .Text
.Delete
.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
.InsertAfter Pom$
.MoveStart Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=2
End With
End Sub

Tell me, how to write it in C++ and where does it go, and five 
minutes later I will have it there (and you will get a patch). 
Promise!

I do not want quarrel with you about such a triviality, but what 
I mean is, that by embedding Python you would allow us, 
non-programmers, to help you a send you beautiful :-) programmes 
for everything WE need (not what you think we need, which may be 
sometimes different).

Have a nice day

Hi Allan,

Actually, there is an acconfig.h in the sigc++ directory already. It is
identical to the one you sent out.

It sounds like something more peculiar to the make utility on the tru64
operating system?

Re: Re[2]: angstrom symbol in math mode

Sorry I think I wasn't clear in my earlier post
 I did try the mbox function and it  works fine.

I would like to figure out what the problem is with the math parser's 
handling of the textrm function and possibly add something like \rho
or \pi for \AA to the math parser so that it is easier to use that symbol.

thanks again for everybody's help/interest!

If you use Koma (as you mentioned), it's easier: the environment 
"Addchap" (instead of Chapter) does the trick.
To add the Bibliography to the TOC, Koma provides the command bibtotoc.
Just write "bibtotoc" in Layout > Document > Further Options.

Good Luck,

Hi,

you can use threeparttable for footnotes below the table.
But i think that you can't split these tables across
pages ...?

have you tried this one?
i'm wondering, if it works, because you have no pages
in fact of the unprocessed floats.

You can change a word to lower case by pressing M-c down, or capitalize a
word using M-c right.
Since your document is long, I suggest you use perl to change all the text
to lowercase:
 perl -ne 'print lc' oldfile.lyx >newfile.lyx

a solution on the run ...
export it as ascii, or copy and paste the text in an
ascii-editor and save it as old.txt. 
than run bash-command

tr "A-Z" "a-z" < old.txt > new.txt

and insert new.txt as paragraphs in lyx.
the only thing you have to do, is to mark the
chapter/section headers new.
