Re: Different numbering for chemical reaction and numerical equation

2001-05-11 Thread Andi 

 During writing my thesis I ran into this problem:
 I use chemical reactions and numerical equations in the text. The
 problem is, to number the different equations in a different way, like:
 
 1+1=2(2.1)
 1+2=3(2.2)
 
 but for chemical reaction something like
 
 C+O2-CO2(R. 2.1)
 
 The equations and reactions are written in math-mode and the automatic
 numbering was done
 by using M-m n.

1. Put the following line in the preamble

\newcounter{reaction}
\numberwithin{reaction}{chapter}
\newcommand{\reaction}{\addtocounter{reaction}{1}\tag{R. \thereaction}}

2. Select Use ams math in the document dialog (in extra tab in 1.1.6).

3. At each reaction, write \reaction at the end (inside the math inset).

Note that when you reference a reaction, you will get 'R. 2.1'.

I´m sorry, but I think I´m too dummy. I´m not able to insert a \reaction inside the 
math
inset. The \ doesn´t work.But writing reaction in Tex-red works fine. That´s 
exactly
what I needed.

Thanks a lot

List of Algorithms - Caption Modification

2001-05-11 Thread Brett Jones 

I have a style file for my univerity thesis format, which for the most part does
the job.

Only trouble is that if redefines the lists of figures and tables and doesn't
provide for lists of algorithms.  I would, of course, like the list of
algorithms to match the others, but I know almost nothing about latex.  I copied
all references to lists of tables and figures and changed them to refer to
algorithms, and it almost works.

The last problem is that the code that makes the lot and lof double spaced
doesn't seem to run on the algorithms.  I've included just this code.  Can
anyone tell me why it is not being run on the algorithm captions?

(I can also provide the whole style file if it would help.)

Thanks for any help,

LyX-SuSE 7.1-COL 2.4

2001-05-11 Thread EagleIce 

Hello all!

I am a great admirer of LyX, as a writer and translator I just love working 
with it. And now I managed to install 1.1.6fix1 from source on my SuSE 7.1, 
Ilove it! But there's something weird here I think, the sub-menus Import / 
Export are empty, and the preview for ps / dvi are missing. Why id this?
 
Since I work on two different (Linux) computers in two different places, and 
I haven't been able to work with the same .lyx files between those without 
messing up the files, because the one in my home box is SuSE 7.1 with LyX 
1.1.5fix1, and at work it's Caldera eDesktop 2.4 with the incredibly ugly 
KLyX. Now I'm gonna give it a try to install 1.1.6fix1 on the eDesktop box 
too, even though I have bad experience trying to install non-Caldera packages 
in the Caldera dist.

Cheers,

ei

 choose the x-value and insert it as width, for example
 \parbox{300pt}{

Why not let latex compute the space ?
Here is an alternative way to do what you want:
1. Put the following in latex mode:

3. Put the following (in latex mode)

Nothing at all!

One peculiar thing is that LyX starts incredibly much faster now than 
1.1.5fix1, is it supposed to be like that or could it be that there are 
several features missing?

Observe that the install went without any error message at all.

Install the tetex-extras RPM from ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/tetex and
then reconfigure lyx. You should then have the extra layouts,
one of them being extarticle, which has the smaller font size.

Ochem works quite well.  It makes chemical structures which IMHO are
distinctly superior to regular drawing programs.  The syntax takes some
effort to learn, but I have also created some macros which simplify certain
types.  It has the drawback of not (yet) working with files which contain
other image type (eps, etc.).  

If your requirements are really simple then it should work well without a
lot of effort.  I would suggest this route if you are going to be doing this
a lot.

I have created a script for exporting Lyx files to PS under (1.1.16fix1),
both for viewing and printing.  If you wish I can send it to you.

There are also a number of drawing programs which can export to ps, which
you can place as an image.  Look on SAL for these.  While I may not prefer
their results over Ochem, most people aren't sticklers (sp?) like me about
the results.  :-)

The installed fonts already have the sans-serif numeral

way from within a math environment.  I was hoping that 
someone would have a preamble script that would do this
so that ERT is not necessary.

So, here is a request to the developers: please modify the M-c s code
so that it will accept numerals in addition to alphabetic
characters.

Re: Different numbering for chemical reaction and numerical equation

2001-05-11 Thread Andi 

 During writing my thesis I ran into this problem:
 I use chemical reactions and numerical equations in the text. The
 problem is, to number the different equations in a different way, like:
 
 1+1=2(2.1)
 1+2=3(2.2)
 
 but for chemical reaction something like
 
 C+O2-CO2(R. 2.1)
 
 The equations and reactions are written in math-mode and the automatic
 numbering was done
 by using M-m n.

1. Put the following line in the preamble

\newcounter{reaction}
\numberwithin{reaction}{chapter}
\newcommand{\reaction}{\addtocounter{reaction}{1}\tag{R. \thereaction}}

2. Select Use ams math in the document dialog (in extra tab in 1.1.6).

3. At each reaction, write \reaction at the end (inside the math inset).

Note that when you reference a reaction, you will get 'R. 2.1'.

I´m sorry, but I think I´m too dummy. I´m not able to insert a \reaction inside the 
math
inset. The \ doesn´t work.But writing reaction in Tex-red works fine. That´s 
exactly
what I needed.

Thanks a lot

Andi

List of Algorithms - Caption Modification

2001-05-11 Thread Brett Jones 

I have a style file for my univerity thesis format, which for the most part does
the job.

Only trouble is that if redefines the lists of figures and tables and doesn't
provide for lists of algorithms.  I would, of course, like the list of
algorithms to match the others, but I know almost nothing about latex.  I copied
all references to lists of tables and figures and changed them to refer to
algorithms, and it almost works.

The last problem is that the code that makes the lot and lof double spaced
doesn't seem to run on the algorithms.  I've included just this code.  Can
anyone tell me why it is not being run on the algorithm captions?

(I can also provide the whole style file if it would help.)

Thanks for any help,

Brett Jones

LyX-SuSE 7.1-COL 2.4

2001-05-11 Thread EagleIce 

Hello all!

I am a great admirer of LyX, as a writer and translator I just love working 
with it. And now I managed to install 1.1.6fix1 from source on my SuSE 7.1, 
Ilove it! But there's something weird here I think, the sub-menus Import / 
Export are empty, and the preview for ps / dvi are missing. Why id this?
 
Since I work on two different (Linux) computers in two different places, and 
I haven't been able to work with the same .lyx files between those without 
messing up the files, because the one in my home box is SuSE 7.1 with LyX 
1.1.5fix1, and at work it's Caldera eDesktop 2.4 with the incredibly ugly 
KLyX. Now I'm gonna give it a try to install 1.1.6fix1 on the eDesktop box 
too, even though I have bad experience trying to install non-Caldera packages 
in the Caldera dist.

Cheers,

ei

Try Edit/Reconfigure and restart LyX. If it doesn't work, what do you

 choose the x-value and insert it as width, for example
 \parbox{300pt}{

Why not let latex compute the space ?
Here is an alternative way to do what you want:
1. Put the following in latex mode:
\begin{equation}\begin{array}{c}\mbox{

2. Insert figure (as inline) 

3. Put the following (in latex mode)

Nothing at all!

One peculiar thing is that LyX starts incredibly much faster now than 
1.1.5fix1, is it supposed to be like that or could it be that there are 
several features missing?

Observe that the install went without any error message at all.

Install the tetex-extras RPM from ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/tetex and
then reconfigure lyx. You should then have the extra layouts,
one of them being extarticle, which has the smaller font size.

Ochem works quite well.  It makes chemical structures which IMHO are
distinctly superior to regular drawing programs.  The syntax takes some
effort to learn, but I have also created some macros which simplify certain
types.  It has the drawback of not (yet) working with files which contain
other image type (eps, etc.).  

If your requirements are really simple then it should work well without a
lot of effort.  I would suggest this route if you are going to be doing this
a lot.

I have created a script for exporting Lyx files to PS under (1.1.16fix1),
both for viewing and printing.  If you wish I can send it to you.

There are also a number of drawing programs which can export to ps, which
you can place as an image.  Look on SAL for these.  While I may not prefer
their results over Ochem, most people aren't sticklers (sp?) like me about
the results.  :-)

Two definitions after each other

2001-05-11 Thread Otto Tronarp 

Hi,

how can I have two definitions after eachother in AMS-article. I wan't 
to have somthing like this:
Definition 1. My 1st definition
Definition 2. My 2nd definition

If i just press enter after my 1st definition I just continue to write 
in the 1st environment so I don't get Definition 2. If I change the 
environment depth I can get Definition 2. to appear but it produces the 
following LaTeX code:

\begin{defn}
My 1st definition
\begin{defn}
My 2nd definition
\end{defn}
\end{defn}

and what I wan't is

\begin{defn}
My 1st definition
\end{defn}
\begin{defn}
My 2nd definition
\end{defn}

How can I achieve that?

What I meant is that you type \reaction in the math inset. On screen you see

List of Algorithms - Caption Modification

2001-05-11 Thread Brett Jones 

I have a style file for my univerity thesis format, which for the most part does
the job.

Only trouble is that if redefines the lists of figures and tables and doesn't
provide for lists of algorithms.  I would, of course, like the list of
algorithms to match the others, but I know almost nothing about latex.  I copied
all references to lists of tables and figures and changed them to refer to
algorithms, and it almost works.

The last problem is that the code that makes the lot and lof double spaced
doesn't seem to run on the algorithms.  I've included just this code.  Can
anyone tell me why it is not being run on the algorithm captions?

(I can also provide the whole style file if it would help.)

Thanks for any help,

LyX-SuSE 7.1-COL 2.4

2001-05-11 Thread EagleIce 

Hello all!

I am a great admirer of LyX, as a writer and translator I just love working 
with it. And now I managed to install 1.1.6fix1 from source on my SuSE 7.1, 
Ilove it! But there's something weird here I think, the sub-menus Import / 
Export are empty, and the preview for ps / dvi are missing. Why id this?
 
Since I work on two different (Linux) computers in two different places, and 
I haven't been able to work with the same .lyx files between those without 
messing up the files, because the one in my home box is SuSE 7.1 with LyX 
1.1.5fix1, and at work it's Caldera eDesktop 2.4 with the incredibly ugly 
KLyX. Now I'm gonna give it a try to install 1.1.6fix1 on the eDesktop box 
too, even though I have bad experience trying to install non-Caldera packages 
in the Caldera dist.

Cheers,

ei

Try Edit/Reconfigure and restart LyX. If it doesn't work, what do you 
have in Edit/Preferences for DVI and PS as viewers/converters?

Why not let latex compute the space ?
Here is an alternative way to do what you want:
1. Put the following in latex mode:
\begin{equation}\begin{array}{c}\mbox{

2. Insert figure (as inline) 

3. Put the following (in latex mode)
}\end{array}

4. Insert label

5. Put the following (in latex mode)

Nothing at all!

One peculiar thing is that LyX starts incredibly much faster now than 
1.1.5fix1, is it supposed to be like that or could it be that there are 
several features missing?

Observe that the install went without any error message at all.

Thank's for your reply.

Install the tetex-extras RPM from ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/tetex and
then reconfigure lyx. You should then have the extra layouts,
one of them being extarticle, which has the smaller font size.

This is based on Herbert Voss's web pages (http://perce.de/lyx/)

I looked over the chemsym package but all it does is

I have no idea about chemistry (since my schooldays ... ;-)
but the following picture take only two minutes. one of
them for installing chemtex.sty

the code was in tex(red)

\initial
\parbox{.3\textwidth}{\hetisix{Q}{Q}{Q}{Q}{Q}{Q}{O}{Q}{O}
\xi=-85 \fuseup{Q}{Q}{Q}{Q}{D}{Q}{D}{Q}{D}}

It's me again :), this time done some search in the CTAN
catalogue and found the xymtex package that does the
tricky figures and suites me right. So, if anybody 
need this in the future..

 thanks for the support and happy lyx-ing,

Ochem works quite well.  It makes chemical structures which IMHO are
distinctly superior to regular drawing programs.  The syntax takes some
effort to learn, but I have also created some macros which simplify certain
types.  It has the drawback of not (yet) working with files which contain
other image type (eps, etc.).  

If your requirements are really simple then it should work well without a
lot of effort.  I would suggest this route if you are going to be doing this
a lot.

I have created a script for exporting Lyx files to PS under (1.1.16fix1),
both for viewing and printing.  If you wish I can send it to you.

There are also a number of drawing programs which can export to ps, which
you can place as an image.  Look on SAL for these.  While I may not prefer
their results over Ochem, most people aren't sticklers (sp?) like me about
the results.  :-)

Two definitions after each other

2001-05-11 Thread Otto Tronarp 

Hi,

how can I have two definitions after eachother in AMS-article. I wan't 
to have somthing like this:
Definition 1. My 1st definition
Definition 2. My 2nd definition

If i just press enter after my 1st definition I just continue to write 
in the 1st environment so I don't get Definition 2. If I change the 
environment depth I can get Definition 2. to appear but it produces the 
following LaTeX code:

\begin{defn}
My 1st definition
\begin{defn}
My 2nd definition
\end{defn}
\end{defn}

and what I wan't is

\begin{defn}
My 1st definition
\end{defn}
\begin{defn}
My 2nd definition
\end{defn}

How can I achieve that?

I saw that too, but the free version has only bitmap fonts.

The installed fonts already have the sans-serif numeral 
characters, I just want to access them in a convenient
way from within a math environment.  I was hoping that 
someone would have a preamble script that would do this
so that ERT is not necessary.

So, here is a request to the developers: please modify the M-c s code
so that it will accept numerals in addition to alphabetic
characters.


Thanks,
