 Can someone explain to me this?

The does a bad job of parsing the tex file.
Try updating your version of latex2rtf (get the latest version from

 Can someone suggest to me the most efficient method (or program) for the
 conversion from Lyx to RTF, or from Latex to RTF?

You can either use latex2rtf or ltx2rtf (ftp://ftp.lps.u-psud.fr/pub/ltx2rtf/)
I did some testing and ltx2rtf seems to work better.

Note that if your purpose is to create a file that is readable by MSWord,
you can just create a HTML file.

You loose the structure this way, every header is translated
in the same style (among other things). 
The import/export from MSWord towards HTML has destructive features:
 - exporting translates styles as font instructions instead of HTML tags,
 - importing doesn't use styles
Some parts are well translated however (bibliography, figure, tables)
so the hacking of the structure can be done quickly (if needed).
For formulas the only way I know is ltx2rtf.
If you have figures, don't forget to « break the links » (which means
that you put the images in the document instead of kkeping them as links,
following the same logic as « strt » for « stop » :-), otherwise you document
cannot be moved without loosing them.

  The math-macro definitions have the advantage that they are expanded and

The LyX-math-macro has the disadvantage, that it must be defined in the
text-body of your document (i.e. on the LyX-canvax/screen) You cannot define
it in the preamble or in an included file. That means you have a box
with Macro:some_name for each defined macro in your Text. (Which is
WYSIMTWYM(*)

  However, there seems to be no
  mechanism for saving the math-macro definitions as part of a standard
  template.

As the template is not constrained to preamble and default settings but can
also contain normal LyX-text, there is no problem in including math-macro
definitions in the ~/.lyx/templates/defaults.lyx file. 

 
  I wrote a perl script to translate (as reLyX, in a way) a set of lateX
  macros as a set of LyX math-macros, which you had to Include
  as a LyX file.
 
 This is not a complete solution because the macros will not be expanded on
 the LyX display unless you load (when starting LyX) the macro file.
 Currently, there isn't a better solution.

Currently you have the choice to

1. Include the macros.tex file in the latex preamble and open the
   corresponding macros.lyx file in LyX (as a separate document) every time
   you want to use the macros.

2. Open ~/.lyx/templates/defaults.lyx in LyX, hard-insert the macro
   definitions (Insert|Insert_File|LyX_Document macros.lyx), save again:

a) as  ~/.lyx/templates/defaults.lyx if you want you macros all the
   times you start a new (default) document
b) as ~/.lyx/templates/defaults_with_macros.lyx if you want to have the
   macro boxes only for some documents and start these with
   File|New|With_Template

Method 1 has the advantage of non cluttering the document with macro
definition boxes and the disadvantage of some extra action to be taken when
starting to use LyX.

Method 2 has the advantage of beeing more transparent/save and the
disadvantage of WYSIMTWYM(*)

 Anyone have an idea what's going on?

Re: LyX does not run BibTex

2001-06-11 Thread Milos Komarcevic

Hi Claus,

I'm running MikTex 2.0up1 and it seems to run fine manually.
It looks like LyX doesn't sense my bibliography file for some reason,
as it is not listed in the .dep file.

Here is also the beginning and the end of my .tex file from the tmp-directory:

\batchmode
\makeatletter
\def\input@path{{Z:/LyxDocs/}}
\makeatother
\documentclass[12pt,english]{article}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{a4}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{setspace}
\onehalfspacing
\usepackage{subfigure}

\makeatletter

%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
\providecommand{\LyX}{L\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{Y}\kern-.125emX\@}

%% User specified LaTeX commands.

\usepackage{psfrag}
\renewcommand\floatpagefraction{.9}
\renewcommand\topfraction{.9}
\renewcommand\bottomfraction{.9}
\renewcommand\textfraction{.1}
\setcounter{totalnumber}{50}
\setcounter{topnumber}{50}
\setcounter{bottomnumber}{50}

\makeatother
\begin{document}
...
\bibliography{Z:/LyxDocs/photonics}

\end{document}

which looks allright to me... or does it?
If there is a line \def\input@path{{Z:/LyxDocs/}}, maybe the full path is 
not necessary
in the \bibliography{Z:/LyxDocs/photonics}, just as it doesn't show up in 
the lines
that include eps figures (only the filename).

Thanks,

Milos

Paragraph Spacing

2001-06-11 Thread Michelle Dukich

 
 
Hello All:

I am using the Document Class Article and would like
to change spacing between paragraphs universally to
have an extra space between paragraphs. 

According to the Lyx manual, I should have the
SETSPACE package, which I put into the preamble as:

\usepackage setspace

Then I went to LAYOUT-DOCUMENT and changed Default
Skip to BigSkip but it did not change anything when I
viewed in DVI.  

This would seem to be something I could do
document-wide rather than reverting to using the
Control space after every paragraph.

Help?!?!  I AM getting better at this, really I am. 
Figuring it out slowly but surely!

Merci beaucoup!

Michelle

Re: [pdftex] Re: tex2pdf 2.1 released

2001-06-11 Thread Sherlock Holmes

For people interested in script hacking. I wrote altpdftex, a sh script 
that uses tex-dvips-ps2pdf (or dvips-ps2pdf on dvi files). It can be 
linked symbolically to altpdflatex, altpdfetex, altpdfelatex and will do 
the other formats. altpdftex writes internmediary results in a temporary 
directory, minimizing the chances files are overwritten (a thing that 
has bitten be badly at one time).

Mainly written for the same reason: old tex code with eps inclusions and 
ps tricks.

There is another benefit for me. Sometimes pdftex produces pdf that, 
when viewed on my Mac OS X system and printed from there refuses to 
print on my NeXT printer. The same file through altpdflatex prints fine. 
The reason is unknown to me, but an alternative is nice to have.

altpdftex can be found as ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/tex-
gs/altpdftex

Dependencies:
TeX
dvips
ghostscript (ps2pdf)

 More information at: http://tex2pdf.berlios.de/

 [ WARNING:  Total newbie action here so excuse any ignorance.  Note
 I use LyX as a total LaTeX/SGML crutch, not being a guru at
 producing either.  I'm one of those people that said screwing it
 when MS Word 97 toasted half my technical MS Word 95 templates
 (when upgrading) and decided to use a _real_ publication/typeset
 system instead, like LaTeX.  LyX was there thanx to good people like
 yourselves.  That was late 1998, early 1999 and I haven't gone back
 either!  ;-PPP ]

 First off, I just downloaded tex2pdf after getting frustrated with
 EPS images in my LyX document.  I had previously tried PS export
 w/ps2pdf to get the EPS graphics in, but could figure no way to get
 the FoilTeX slides to appear landscape in Acroread (they kept
 coming out as sideways/portrait, and tried editing the PDF manually
 to no avail -- not good for presentations).  This little script did
 the trick in no time flat -- nice landscape oriented slides, with
 the EPS graphics and thumbnails, in PDF format (which allows me to
 do my presentation with _any_ OS).  Thank you!  As such, I think
 this script should be a part and/or called in any future version of
 LyX.

 Secondly, since I've got the LyX, tex2pdf and pdftex lists all here
 (note I'm only subscribed to the first), is there any work being
 done on getting PDF bookmarks implemented in the output?  I know
 this is a quite an additional challenge of just PDF conversion
 and/or thumbnailing, but I was curious as to what projects or
 efforts are in place.  I'm such an avid LyX user (almost bigot on at
 least 5 different LUG lists here in Florida ;-), I'm almost to the
 point if seeing if I could do this manually, and write a program to
 do it.  I'm definately NOT a GUI guy, but I'm fairly good at string
 manipulation with Perl (and I write system-level/real-time C code
 for a living in the US defense industry).  ;-PPP

 So, if anyone can point me to any current efforts, I'd greatly
 appreciate it.  I'm skimming through some of the on-line PS/PDF
 documentation (and have in the past to slightly modify PS/PDFs
 manually).  I guess subscribing to the pdftex mailing lists is
 probably my first, best move?

 A project idea I came up with after one too many requests for LyX is to
 have a Linux (or any other unix for that matter) distribution complete

 Basically the idea is to make LyX useable for those who use mostly
 windows but want LyX to work with, it needs to be simple enough, that is
 I dont want to tell peoples to install an X-Server on windows or
 something of the kind. It's easier to give them a CD and let them boot
 into it. The files can be worked on from their windows hard disk.

 Ofcourse, if someone knows or already has an X-Server with LyX all ready
 for installation on Windows in a usual installer format it would be even
 better. But I seem to rememeber that the free X-Servers are limited in
 time usage.

Both ideas are nice, though I expect your average Windows user would prefer 
something that could be installed and run under Windows, rather than having 
to reboot - though you have to reboot so often with Windows, people might not 
notice ;-)  I'm also not sure whether most Win-users could be bothered with 
configuring X.  People who are prepared to wrestle with that kind of stuff 
are generally already using some flavour of 'nix.

A self-extracting, self-installing LyX4Win would be a great idea, and would 
really get LyX into popular use, I think.   As for X-servers, Cygwin's is 
free, though I don't know if that's as in beer or speech - they seem to have 
been incorporated into RedHat.  See http://cygwin.com/xfree/

Herbert, I really appreciate all the lucid and useful help you

the original subject of this thread.

Can you suggest a way to learn about some of these variables,

Space between lines (whats wrong with this TeX?)

2001-06-11 Thread Christian Naeger

Hi, 

I open a new document: report (koma-script) a4
The only thing I insert (in TeX mode) is:

\begin{center}
{\LARGE {\scshape Technische Universit{\a}t M{\u}nchen} \\
Department of Computer Science}
{\huge \bfseries\sffamily Pulsed neural networks with dynamic synapses in 
speech recognition: \\A model motivated by the human auditory pathway}
\end{center}


Now look at the .ps file (or the printout)!
The first two lines (Techn. and Department ...) are so close 
together the letters almost touch.
Furthermore, the title is formatted as

Pulsed neural networks with
dynamic synapses in speech recognition:
A model motivated by the human 
auditory pathway

The distance between the first and second line is much larger than between 
the others lines. Lines 2, 3, and 4 almost touch!

What is wrong with my LaTeX? I can't find my mistake!
Please help!

Cross-refs in Structured bibliography

2001-06-11 Thread Marko Degenkolb

Thanks to your help, I managed to get a structured bibliography done with
all the features I need using bibtopic.
However, I have two remaining problems:

1) It only works if I run latex/bibtex on the exported tex file manually.
From within lyx I just get unresolved references and an empty bibliography.
I can't even insert references with the lyx popup but have to put it in ERT.

2) Cross-refs between different bibfiles do not work (they just do not
appear). In case bibtopic is not the right package for this (the
documantation seems to say so), is there any other way for achiving this?
Does anyone has expiriences with multibib which is mentioned in the bibtopic
docs?

Thanks for your help.

Bolding a Veritcal or Horizontal Line in a Table in Lyx

2001-06-11 Thread Michelle Dukich

Hello World:

I am nearly done now with this document and doing some
minor tweaking (yes, I know, that is what Lyx is
supposed to do).  I have a table that I rotated 90
degrees to fit on my page.  I want to put a BOLD lines
-- some vertically and some horizontally  -- to divide
out the Total sections and headers.  

I was able to make it happen just using LaTeX to
create the table (by repeating \hling\hline at the end
of the line I wanted the bold on), but my Lyx barfed
it up and I had to redo completely in Lyx.  Now, I
can't figure out how to get bolding back.  

I also had a cap on my table to define the columns as
a whole (ie., used REGIONS to cap off columns labeled
0, I, II-X) The cap is NOT to go over the first column
(defines the rows) and the last column (giving
totals). 
This too was do-able in LaTeX.  

Are these possible in Lyx?  Any and all help will be
greatly appreciated.

Michelle

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You mean that you want ALL text (normal text and math mode) in bold ?
I don't think that this is a good idea, but you can have your own opinion.

 Tex and thus lyx are designed to handle the formatting for you which
 for the most part is great.
 However for slides you need a lot of control over formatting.
 In particular you need to know if some text will require an extra
 line or an extra slide.  If an extra slide is needed I may
 rewrite my text or shrink a figure to make it fit.

I prepared several presentations with lyx
(http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/slides/)
and this wasn't much of a problem.

 Some kind of control so that each slide could have its own page
 size parameters.  For pages with less data it would be convienient
 to shrink the page size.

You can also change the size of the text in the slide by putting a font size
command at the beginning of the slide.

Alternatively there would need to be some
 kind of center page command that worked like center paragraph.

Use two \vfill command (and some slide styles center the text automatically,
e.g. seminar).

I just need hyperref, right?  What is the easiest way to install

 The following code in your LaTeX preamble does most of what
 I want (with LaTeX - dvips -ps2pdf). You can read the
 hyperref docs for more info.

The problem with ps2pdf is that it seems to not preserve the
orientation of my paper.  E.g., if I use FoilTeX and landscape for
slides, the PDF will have the paper portrait with the output
sideways.  It's fine for printing, but not for presentations.

So I previously used pdftex but it didn't convert the EPS graphics
before output (and lost them in the end result).  Hence why the
tex2pdf script was exactly what I needed -- and gives me both
thumbnails and hyperlinks in the PDF.  I get everything but the PDF
bookmarks.

So that's all that's left.

 Yes, you can. Just mark it as TeX (or use the LaTeX

Which I do for \appendix.  I'm _far_ from a LyX expert (although
everyone here in the local central/north Florida LUGs think I am --
GASP! -- anyone here in central/north Florida?), and I know even
less of [La]TeX.  But I refuse to write anything that doesn't use a
standard, well-documented publication back-end ever again after my

You can either use latex2rtf or ltx2rtf (ftp://ftp.lps.u-psud.fr/pub/ltx2rtf/)
I did some testing and ltx2rtf seems to work better.

Note that if your purpose is to create a file that is readable by MSWord,
you can just create a HTML file.

You loose the structure this way, every header is translated
in the same style (among other things). 
The import/export from MSWord towards HTML has destructive features:
 - exporting translates styles as font instructions instead of HTML tags,
 - importing doesn't use styles
Some parts are well translated however (bibliography, figure, tables)
so the hacking of the structure can be done quickly (if needed).
For formulas the only way I know is ltx2rtf.
If you have figures, don't forget to « break the links » (which means
that you put the images in the document instead of kkeping them as links,
following the same logic as « strt » for « stop » :-), otherwise you document
cannot be moved without loosing them.

As the template is not constrained to preamble and default settings but can

definitions in the ~/.lyx/templates/defaults.lyx file. 

 
  I wrote a perl script to translate (as reLyX, in a way) a set of lateX

 This is not a complete solution because the macros will not be expanded on
 the LyX display unless you load (when starting LyX) the macro file.
 Currently, there isn't a better solution.

Currently you have the choice to

1. Include the macros.tex file in the latex preamble and open the
   corresponding macros.lyx file in LyX (as a separate document) every time
   you want to use the macros.

2. Open ~/.lyx/templates/defaults.lyx in LyX, hard-insert the macro
   definitions (Insert|Insert_File|LyX_Document macros.lyx), save again:

a) as  ~/.lyx/templates/defaults.lyx if you want you macros all the
   times you start a new (default) document
b) as ~/.lyx/templates/defaults_with_macros.lyx if you want to have the
   macro boxes only for some documents and start these with
   File|New|With_Template

Method 1 has the advantage of non cluttering the document with macro
definition boxes and the disadvantage of some extra action to be taken when
starting to use LyX.

Method 2 has the advantage of beeing more transparent/save and the

Subject: LyX does not run BibTex


 My LyX 1.1.6fix2 for Win32 does not seem to run bibtex at all after
 the first latex run, although it runs latex for 3 times.
 I had no problems inserting the bibtex references and citations, and
 my .bib file is in the same directory as my .lyx file.
 When I do a manual latex-bibtex-latex-latex sequence on the exported tex
 file, everything is fine, so it doesn't seem to be a tex system problem.

 Anyone have an idea what's going on?

 Thanks,

 Milos

 P.S. I also run LyX 1.1.6fix2 under Linux where everything works
flawlessly

LyX does not depend upon xmodmap...

Re: LyX does not run BibTex

2001-06-11 Thread Milos Komarcevic

Hi Claus,

I'm running MikTex 2.0up1 and it seems to run fine manually.
It looks like LyX doesn't sense my bibliography file for some reason,
as it is not listed in the .dep file.

Here is also the beginning and the end of my .tex file from the tmp-directory:

\batchmode
\makeatletter
\def\input@path{{Z:/LyxDocs/}}
\makeatother
\documentclass[12pt,english]{article}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{a4}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{setspace}
\onehalfspacing
\usepackage{subfigure}

\makeatletter

%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
\providecommand{\LyX}{L\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{Y}\kern-.125emX\@}

%% User specified LaTeX commands.

\usepackage{psfrag}
\renewcommand\floatpagefraction{.9}
\renewcommand\topfraction{.9}
\renewcommand\bottomfraction{.9}
\renewcommand\textfraction{.1}
\setcounter{totalnumber}{50}
\setcounter{topnumber}{50}
\setcounter{bottomnumber}{50}

\makeatother
\begin{document}
...
\bibliography{Z:/LyxDocs/photonics}

\end{document}

which looks allright to me... or does it?
If there is a line \def\input@path{{Z:/LyxDocs/}}, maybe the full path is 
not necessary
in the \bibliography{Z:/LyxDocs/photonics}, just as it doesn't show up in 
the lines
that include eps figures (only the filename).

Thanks,

Milos

Paragraph Spacing

2001-06-11 Thread Michelle Dukich

 
 
Hello All:

I am using the Document Class Article and would like
to change spacing between paragraphs universally to
have an extra space between paragraphs. 

According to the Lyx manual, I should have the
SETSPACE package, which I put into the preamble as:

\usepackage setspace

Then I went to LAYOUT-DOCUMENT and changed Default
Skip to BigSkip but it did not change anything when I
viewed in DVI.  

This would seem to be something I could do
document-wide rather than reverting to using the
Control space after every paragraph.

Help?!?!  I AM getting better at this, really I am. 
Figuring it out slowly but surely!

Merci beaucoup!

Michelle

Re: [pdftex] Re: tex2pdf 2.1 released

2001-06-11 Thread Sherlock Holmes

For people interested in script hacking. I wrote altpdftex, a sh script 
that uses tex-dvips-ps2pdf (or dvips-ps2pdf on dvi files). It can be 
linked symbolically to altpdflatex, altpdfetex, altpdfelatex and will do 
the other formats. altpdftex writes internmediary results in a temporary 
directory, minimizing the chances files are overwritten (a thing that 
has bitten be badly at one time).

Mainly written for the same reason: old tex code with eps inclusions and 
ps tricks.

There is another benefit for me. Sometimes pdftex produces pdf that, 
when viewed on my Mac OS X system and printed from there refuses to 
print on my NeXT printer. The same file through altpdflatex prints fine. 
The reason is unknown to me, but an alternative is nice to have.

altpdftex can be found as ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/tex-
gs/altpdftex

Dependencies:
TeX
dvips
ghostscript (ps2pdf)

 [ WARNING:  Total newbie action here so excuse any ignorance.  Note
 I use LyX as a total LaTeX/SGML crutch, not being a guru at
 producing either.  I'm one of those people that said screwing it
 when MS Word 97 toasted half my technical MS Word 95 templates
 (when upgrading) and decided to use a _real_ publication/typeset
 system instead, like LaTeX.  LyX was there thanx to good people like
 yourselves.  That was late 1998, early 1999 and I haven't gone back
 either!  ;-PPP ]

 First off, I just downloaded tex2pdf after getting frustrated with
 EPS images in my LyX document.  I had previously tried PS export
 w/ps2pdf to get the EPS graphics in, but could figure no way to get
 the FoilTeX slides to appear landscape in Acroread (they kept
 coming out as sideways/portrait, and tried editing the PDF manually
 to no avail -- not good for presentations).  This little script did
 the trick in no time flat -- nice landscape oriented slides, with
 the EPS graphics and thumbnails, in PDF format (which allows me to
 do my presentation with _any_ OS).  Thank you!  As such, I think
 this script should be a part and/or called in any future version of
 LyX.

 Secondly, since I've got the LyX, tex2pdf and pdftex lists all here
 (note I'm only subscribed to the first), is there any work being
 done on getting PDF bookmarks implemented in the output?  I know
 this is a quite an additional challenge of just PDF conversion
 and/or thumbnailing, but I was curious as to what projects or
 efforts are in place.  I'm such an avid LyX user (almost bigot on at
 least 5 different LUG lists here in Florida ;-), I'm almost to the
 point if seeing if I could do this manually, and write a program to
 do it.  I'm definately NOT a GUI guy, but I'm fairly good at string
 manipulation with Perl (and I write system-level/real-time C code
 for a living in the US defense industry).  ;-PPP

 So, if anyone can point me to any current efforts, I'd greatly
 appreciate it.  I'm skimming through some of the on-line PS/PDF
 documentation (and have in the past to slightly modify PS/PDFs
 manually).  I guess subscribing to the pdftex mailing lists is
 probably my first, best move?

Re: LyX on a CD

On Monday 11 June 2001 02:05, Baruch Even wrote:
 A project idea I came up with after one too many requests for LyX is to
 have a Linux (or any other unix for that matter) distribution complete
 with LaTeX/DocBook support an X-Server and LyX to be booted into from
 the CD itself.

 Basically the idea is to make LyX useable for those who use mostly
 windows but want LyX to work with, it needs to be simple enough, that is
 I dont want to tell peoples to install an X-Server on windows or
 something of the kind. It's easier to give them a CD and let them boot
 into it. The files can be worked on from their windows hard disk.

 Ofcourse, if someone knows or already has an X-Server with LyX all ready
 for installation on Windows in a usual installer format it would be even
 better. But I seem to rememeber that the free X-Servers are limited in
 time usage.

Both ideas are nice, though I expect your average Windows user would prefer 
something that could be installed and run under Windows, rather than having 
to reboot - though you have to reboot so often with Windows, people might not 
notice ;-)  I'm also not sure whether most Win-users could be bothered with 
configuring X.  People who are prepared to wrestle with that kind of stuff 
are generally already using some flavour of 'nix.

A self-extracting, self-installing LyX4Win would be a great idea, and would 
really get LyX into popular use, I think.   As for X-servers, Cygwin's is 
free, though I don't know if that's as in beer or speech - they seem to have 
been incorporated into RedHat.  See http://cygwin.com/xfree/

problems with harvard.sty (BibTeX/Lyx interaction)

recognized in my latex preamble.  But with
\usepackage{harvard} in the preamble, when Lyx
compiles  to dvi, I get errors in most (but NOT all)
of the sentences where there are citation references. 
The errors say undefined control sequence and then
show part of the \cite command.  (I inserted the cite
refs with the popup box, not with latex) when I
comment out the \usepackage{harvard}, the errors go
away, but the citation style isn't very nice.

help?  Thanks! in advance

Space between lines (whats wrong with this TeX?)

{\huge \bfseries\sffamily Pulsed neural networks with dynamic synapses in 
speech recognition: \\A model motivated by the human auditory pathway}

Now look at the .ps file (or the printout)!
The first two lines (Techn. and Department ...) are so close

Cross-refs in Structured bibliography

Thanks to your help, I managed to get a structured bibliography done with
all the features I need using bibtopic.
However, I have two remaining problems:

1) It only works if I run latex/bibtex on the exported tex file manually.
From within lyx I just get unresolved references and an empty bibliography.
I can't even insert references with the lyx popup but have to put it in ERT.

2) Cross-refs between different bibfiles do not work (they just do not
appear). In case bibtopic is not the right package for this (the
documantation seems to say so), is there any other way for achiving this?
Does anyone has expiriences with multibib which is mentioned in the bibtopic
docs?

Thanks for your help.

Bolding a Veritcal or Horizontal Line in a Table in Lyx

2001-06-11 Thread Michelle Dukich

Hello World:

I am nearly done now with this document and doing some
minor tweaking (yes, I know, that is what Lyx is
supposed to do).  I have a table that I rotated 90
degrees to fit on my page.  I want to put a BOLD lines
-- some vertically and some horizontally  -- to divide
out the Total sections and headers.  

I was able to make it happen just using LaTeX to
create the table (by repeating \hling\hline at the end
of the line I wanted the bold on), but my Lyx barfed
it up and I had to redo completely in Lyx.  Now, I
can't figure out how to get bolding back.  

I also had a cap on my table to define the columns as
a whole (ie., used REGIONS to cap off columns labeled
0, I, II-X) The cap is NOT to go over the first column
(defines the rows) and the last column (giving
totals). 
This too was do-able in LaTeX.  

Are these possible in Lyx?  Any and all help will be
greatly appreciated.

You need to change the bibliography style (by pressing on the 
Bibtex Generated References inset, and changing the style field)
to one of the styles that comes with harvard, namely agsm, dcu, jmr, etc.

You mean that you want ALL text (normal text and math mode) in bold ?
I don't think that this is a good idea, but you can have your own opinion.

 Tex and thus lyx are designed to handle the formatting for you which
 for the most part is great.
 However for slides you need a lot of control over formatting.
 In particular you need to know if some text will require an extra
 line or an extra slide.  If an extra slide is needed I may
 rewrite my text or shrink a figure to make it fit.

I prepared several presentations with lyx
(http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/slides/)
and this wasn't much of a problem.

 Some kind of control so that each slide could have its own page
 size parameters.  For pages with less data it would be convienient
 to shrink the page size.

You can also change the size of the text in the slide by putting a font size
command at the beginning of the slide.

Alternatively there would need to be some
 kind of center page command that worked like center paragraph.

Use two \vfill command (and some slide styles center the text automatically,
e.g. seminar).



Re: LyX on a CD

2001-06-11 Thread Thorsten Fischer


 A self-extracting, self-installing LyX4Win would be a great idea, and would
 really get LyX into popular use, I think.   As for X-servers, Cygwin's is
 free, though I don't know if that's as in beer or speech - they seem to
 have been incorporated into RedHat.  See http://cygwin.com/xfree/

Yes, I know a lot of people who would like to run lyx, but they don't like or 
don't have the time to switch to linux. And in my opinion getting lyx to work 
smoothly under windows is a lot of work.
It would be really nice and really a big step forward for the popularity of 
lyx if we could get this done. 
The problem I had, was to find a suitable x-server, because cygwin only works 
for win2k I think.

I just need hyperref, right?  What is the easiest way to install

TeTeX-LyX and XForms)?

 The following code in your LaTeX preamble does most of what
 I want (with LaTeX - dvips -ps2pdf). You can read the
 hyperref docs for more info.

The problem with ps2pdf is that it seems to not preserve the
orientation of my paper.  E.g., if I use FoilTeX and landscape for
slides, the PDF will have the paper portrait with the output
sideways.  It's fine for printing, but not for presentations.

So I previously used pdftex but it didn't convert the EPS graphics
before output (and lost them in the end result).  Hence why the
tex2pdf script was exactly what I needed -- and gives me both
thumbnails and hyperlinks in the PDF.  I get everything but the PDF
bookmarks.

So that's all that's left.

 Yes, you can. Just mark it as TeX (or use the LaTeX

less of [La]TeX.  But I refuse to write anything that doesn't use a

You loose the structure this way, every header is translated
in the same style (among other things). 
The import/export from MSWord towards HTML has destructive features:
 - exporting translates styles as font instructions instead of HTML tags,
 - importing doesn't use styles
Some parts are well translated however (bibliography, figure, tables)
so the hacking of the structure can be done quickly (if needed).
For formulas the only way I know is ltx2rtf.
If you have figures, don't forget to « break the links » (which means
that you put the images in the document instead of kkeping them as links,
following the same logic as « strt » for « stop » :-), otherwise you document
cannot be moved without loosing them.

The LyX-math-macro has the disadvantage, that it must be defined in the
text-body of your document (i.e. on the LyX-canvax/screen) You cannot define
it in the preamble or in an included file. That means you have a box
with "Macro:some_name" for each defined macro in your Text. (Which is

As the template is not constrained to preamble and default settings but can
also contain "normal" LyX-text, there is no problem in including math-macro
definitions in the ~/.lyx/templates/defaults.lyx file.

Currently you have the choice to

1. Include the macros.tex file in the latex preamble and open the
   corresponding macros.lyx file in LyX (as a separate document) every time
   you want to use the macros.

2. Open ~/.lyx/templates/defaults.lyx in LyX, "hard-insert" the macro
   definitions (Insert|Insert_File|LyX_Document macros.lyx), save again:

a) as  ~/.lyx/templates/defaults.lyx if you want you macros all the
   times you start a new (default) document
b) as ~/.lyx/templates/defaults_with_macros.lyx if you want to have the
   macro boxes only for some documents and start these with
   File|New|With_Template

Method 1 has the advantage of "non cluttering the document with macro
definition boxes and the disadvantage of some extra action to be taken when
starting to use LyX.

Method 2 has the advantage of beeing more transparent/save and the
disadvantage of WYSIMTWYM(*)

Hi Claus,

I'm running MikTex 2.0up1 and it seems to run fine manually.
It looks like LyX doesn't sense my bibliography file for some reason,
as it is not listed in the .dep file.

Here is also the beginning and the end of my .tex file from the tmp-directory:

\batchmode

\makeatletter

%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
\providecommand{\LyX}{L\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{Y}\kern-.125emX\@}

\usepackage{psfrag}

\makeatother
\begin{document}
...
\bibliography{Z:/LyxDocs/photonics}

\end{document}

which looks allright to me... or does it?
If there is a line \def\input@path{{Z:/LyxDocs/}}, maybe the full path is 
not necessary
in the \bibliography{Z:/LyxDocs/photonics}, just as it doesn't show up in 
the lines
that include eps figures (only the filename).

Paragraph Spacing

2001-06-11 Thread Michelle Dukich

 
 
Hello All:

I am using the Document Class "Article" and would like
to change spacing between paragraphs universally to
have an extra space between paragraphs. 

According to the Lyx manual, I should have the
SETSPACE package, which I put into the preamble as:

\usepackage setspace

Then I went to LAYOUT->DOCUMENT and changed Default
Skip to BigSkip but it did not change anything when I
viewed in DVI.  

This would seem to be something I could do
document-wide rather than reverting to using the
  after every paragraph.

Help?!?!  I AM getting better at this, really I am. 
Figuring it out slowly but surely!

Merci beaucoup!

Michelle

write in Latex preamble for example

\AtBeginDocument{\addtolength{\parskip}{15pt}}

Try

You may replace \small by \footnotesize, \scriptsize or \tiny

if \thepage is defines with an own fontsize, than also

Re: [pdftex] Re: tex2pdf 2.1 released

2001-06-11 Thread Sherlock Holmes

For people interested in script hacking. I wrote altpdftex, a sh script 
that uses tex->dvips->ps2pdf (or dvips->ps2pdf on dvi files). It can be 
linked symbolically to altpdflatex, altpdfetex, altpdfelatex and will do 
the other formats. altpdftex writes internmediary results in a temporary 
directory, minimizing the chances files are overwritten (a thing that 
has bitten be badly at one time).

Mainly written for the same reason: old tex code with eps inclusions and 
ps tricks.

There is another benefit for me. Sometimes pdftex produces pdf that, 
when viewed on my Mac OS X system and printed from there refuses to 
print on my NeXT printer. The same file through altpdflatex prints fine. 
The reason is unknown to me, but an alternative is nice to have.

altpdftex can be found as ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/tex-
gs/altpdftex

Dependencies:
TeX
dvips
ghostscript (ps2pdf)

Both ideas are nice, though I expect your average Windows user would prefer 
something that could be installed and run under Windows, rather than having 
to reboot - though you have to reboot so often with Windows, people might not 
notice ;-)  I'm also not sure whether most Win-users could be bothered with 
configuring X.  People who are prepared to wrestle with that kind of stuff 
are generally already using some flavour of 'nix.

A self-extracting, self-installing LyX4Win would be a great idea, and would 
really get LyX into popular use, I think.   As for X-servers, Cygwin's is 
free, though I don't know if that's as in beer or speech - they seem to have 
been incorporated into RedHat.  See http://cygwin.com/xfree/

problems with harvard.sty (BibTeX/Lyx interaction)

2001-06-11 Thread Michelle Dukich

After some difficulty, I got harvard sty to be
recognized in my latex preamble.  But with
\usepackage{harvard} in the preamble, when Lyx
compiles  to dvi, I get errors in most (but NOT all)
of the sentences where there are citation references. 
The errors say "undefined control sequence" and then
show part of the \cite command.  (I inserted the cite
refs with the popup box, not with latex) when I
comment out the \usepackage{harvard}, the errors go
away, but the citation style isn't very nice.

help?  Thanks! in advance

Herbert, I really appreciate all the lucid and useful help you
provide to us LyX users.  It seems that there are many variables
like \parskip, which are good to know about for adjustments like
the original subject of this thread.

Can you suggest a way to learn about some of these variables,
as well as things like \AtBeginDocument{}?  I don't know if a
list of such names exists, with brief descriptions---that'd be
really great.  But in lieu of a list, could you suggest a pattern
to grep for, and over what files in what directories, something
like that?  It wouldn't have descriptions, but at least might
give users like me some clues where to poke into for more info.

Thanks again for all your help.

Jim

Space between lines (whats wrong with this TeX?)

2001-06-11 Thread Christian Naeger

Hi, 

I open a new document: report (koma-script) a4
The only thing I insert (in TeX mode) is:

\begin{center}
{\LARGE {\scshape Technische Universit{\"a}t M{\"u}nchen} \\
Department of Computer Science}
{\huge \bfseries\sffamily Pulsed neural networks with dynamic synapses in 
speech recognition: \\A model motivated by the human auditory pathway}
\end{center}


Now look at the .ps file (or the printout)!
The first two lines ("Techn." and "Department ...") are so close 
together the letters almost touch.
Furthermore, the title is formatted as

Pulsed neural networks with
dynamic synapses in speech recognition:
A model motivated by the human 
auditory pathway

The distance between the first and second line is much larger than between 
the others lines. Lines 2, 3, and 4 almost touch!

What is wrong with my LaTeX? I can't find my mistake!
Please help!

Cross-refs in Structured bibliography

2001-06-11 Thread Marko Degenkolb

Thanks to your help, I managed to get a structured bibliography done with
all the features I need using bibtopic.
However, I have two remaining problems:

1) It only works if I run latex/bibtex on the exported tex file manually.
>From within lyx I just get unresolved references and an empty bibliography.
I can't even insert references with the lyx popup but have to put it in ERT.

2) Cross-refs between different bibfiles do not work (they just do not
appear). In case bibtopic is not the right package for this (the
documantation seems to say so), is there any other way for achiving this?
Does anyone has expiriences with multibib which is mentioned in the bibtopic
docs?

Thanks for your help.

Bolding a Veritcal or Horizontal Line in a Table in Lyx

2001-06-11 Thread Michelle Dukich

Hello World:

I am nearly done now with this document and doing some
minor tweaking (yes, I know, that is what Lyx is
supposed to do).  I have a table that I rotated 90
degrees to fit on my page.  I want to put a BOLD lines
-- some vertically and some horizontally  -- to divide
out the Total sections and headers.  

I was able to make it happen just using LaTeX to
create the table (by repeating \hling\hline at the end
of the line I wanted the bold on), but my Lyx barfed
it up and I had to redo completely in Lyx.  Now, I
can't figure out how to get bolding back.  

I also had a cap on my table to define the columns as
a whole (ie., used REGIONS to cap off columns labeled
0, I, II-X) The cap is NOT to go over the first column
(defines the rows) and the last column (giving
totals). 
This too was do-able in LaTeX.  

Are these possible in Lyx?  Any and all help will be
greatly appreciated.

Michelle

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to change the bibliography style (by pressing on the 
"Bibtex Generated References" inset, and changing the style field)
to one of the styles that comes with harvard, namely agsm, dcu, jmr, etc.

You need to put \par before the closing braces, namely

{\LARGE {\scshape Technische Universit{\"a}t M{\"u}nchen} \\
Department of Computer Science\par}
{\huge \bfseries\sffamily Pulsed neural networks with dynamic synapses in
speech recognition: \\A model motivated by the human auditory pathway\par}

But why you use raw latex ? you can set the font size/shape/series with LyX.

You mean that you want ALL text (normal text and math mode) in bold ?
I don't think that this is a good idea, but you can have your own opinion.

I prepared several presentations with lyx
(http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/slides/)
and this wasn't much of a problem.

You can also change the size of the text in the slide by putting a font size
command at the beginning of the slide.

Use two \vfill command (and some slide styles center the text automatically,
e.g. seminar).

Yes, I know a lot of people who would like to run lyx, but they don't like or 
don't have the time to switch to linux. And in my opinion getting lyx to work 
smoothly under windows is a lot of work.
It would be really nice and really a big step forward for the popularity of 
lyx if we could get this done. 
The problem I had, was to find a suitable x-server, because cygwin only works 
for win2k I think.

Hi, 

sorry, I am so dumb, fumbling around with LaTeX for hours just because I 
didn't see the fonts menu.

Well, if s.o. could tell me how I can change page numbering to begin with 0 
instead of 1 (so that the title page doesn't get a number), I'd be all set!

Thanks a lot ! (I like LyX even more now :-)

[ As I warned you'all, I use LyX as a "crutch."  ;-PPP  My
appologies for some obvious "unfamilarity" here. ]

Several people have informed me that pdftex _does_ do PDF
bookmarking and suggested I check out some more recently releases. 
A simple "-version" on my RedHat 7.1 system reveals that I'm using
"pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159-0.13d" which is part of RedHat's tetex
1.0.7-15 RPM.  I take it that is dated?

I see a pdftex here:
ftp://ftp.muni.cz/pub/tex/local/cstug/thanh/pdftex/snapshots/20010417/

Is this what I want?  Also, what else do I need based on my full
RedHat 7.1 install?  I have thumbpdf c/o the tetex 1.0.7-15 RPM
(which I used with the aforementioned tex2pdf script), but that too
seems to be "dated."  [ At this point, I'm starting to get the
feeling you TeX gurus "roll your own" TeX subsystem? ;-P ]

Flt Lt Martin was kind enough to point out that I needed hyperref as
well.  Is this the bookmarking component?

URLs to HOWTOs, RTFM comments/slanders welcome.  ;-PPP  [ Just point
me in the right "direction" when done. ]

Ack, maybe it's time I left my "LyX crutch" and move to full-up TeX
editing (via GViM or other syntax highlighting editor).  I always
figured I could in-line TeX tags with LyX, although something tells
me there are still issues with doing that?  Although I still push
LyX for those "GUI dependant" fellows out there.  ;-PPP

Thanx in advance ...

HTML export with tth (unknown command)

2001-06-11 Thread Mirko Zeibig

Hello,

I try to convert a german letter with tth to html, but tth does know nothing
about the lyx-specific "tags". I tried latex2html before with similar results.

I am running the lyx-1.1.6fix2-1-RPM on RedHat 7.1 with the following tex-rpms:
tetex-fonts-1.0.7-15
tetex-dvips-1.0.7-15
tetex-lyx-1.1.6fix2-1
tetex-1.0.7-15
tetex-dvilj-1.0.7-15
tetex-latex-1.0.7-15
tetex-afm-1.0.7-15
tetex-xdvi-1.0.7-15

Appended you find the messages during export.

Re: tex2pdf 2.1 released -- appologies for my ignorance

2001-06-11 Thread Kayvan A. Sylvan

I do PDF bookmarks, hyper-refs, etc. using normal LaTeX + dvips as
well as pdftex.

It works.

The components you have listed should be enough:

> [...]

No, that's good enough.

The following code in your LaTeX preamble does most of what I want (with
LaTeX -> dvips ->ps2pdf). You can read the hyperref docs for more info.

%
% This is for good PDF production (with hyperlinks)
%
\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={Document Title Here},%
urlcolor=blue,linktocpage,letterpaper,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}

> Ack, maybe it's time I left my "LyX crutch" and move to full-up TeX

No, I don't think so. ;-) I have the full power of LaTeX *plus* the
convenience of WYSIWYM editing in LyX.

> I always
> figured I could in-line TeX tags with LyX, 

Yes, you can. Just mark it as TeX (or use the LaTeX paragraph format).

I just need "hyperref," right?  What is the easiest way to install
it in a near-stock RedHat 7.1 full install (just added LyX,
TeTeX-LyX and XForms)?

> The following code in your LaTeX preamble does most of what

The problem with "ps2pdf" is that it seems to not "preserve" the
orientation of my paper.  E.g., if I use FoilTeX and landscape for
slides, the PDF will have the paper "portrait" with the output
"sideways."  It's fine for printing, but not for presentations.

So I previously used "pdftex" but it didn't convert the EPS graphics
before output (and lost them in the end result).  Hence why the
"tex2pdf" script was exactly what I needed -- and gives me both
thumbnails and hyperlinks in the PDF.  I get everything but the PDF
bookmarks.

So that's all that's left.

Again, the hyperlinks come out great with "tex2pdf."

That's what I thought.  It's like being able to in-line assembler in
a C/C++ IDE.

Which I do for "\appendix".  I'm _far_ from a LyX expert (although
everyone here in the local central/north Florida LUGs think I am --
GASP! -- anyone here in central/north Florida?), and I know even
less of [La]TeX.  But I refuse to write anything that doesn't use a
standard, well-documented publication back-end ever again after my
Word 95 to 97 "snafus". **

** BTW, I was a contributing author on "Samba Unleashed."  I found
it humorous that MacMillian made me write in MS Word, but I had to
use a single monospace font and put "tags" before all my
paragraphs/lines.  They were probably saving it out as ASCII and
processing it with TeX or SGML anyway.  Imagine all the increase in
productivity they could have had by simply creating a LyX template! 
With Cygwin now sporting a full X-Server, LyX runs quite well on
Windows too.

I have been seriously considering making a LyX CD business card much as
you describe.  That'd be great for demos etc. but it'd be hard to squeeze
everything including enough LaTeX onto one of them. [I need to learn about
compressed file systems.]
