I'm using RedHat 7.1 -- hyperref is already there, if you have the teTeX stuff installed, which I expect you do. 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. You *can* use pdftex if you do the conversion of the EPS graphics yourself; the actual tex2pdf script uses epstopdf to do the conversion. That way, you have two versions of the image file, the EPS version and the PDF version. Then, when you include the image file in your LyX document, just give it the name without the extension, and it will pick the correct version of the file depending on what it's doing. Version 1.1.6fix2 of LyX has fixed a bug with this, so that the image displays correctly when you leave out the extension. I did it this way myself, because the generated PDF file, if it was a greyscale image, looked like a dog's breakfast if I used tex2pdf. But, what they didn't tell one, is that you can use jpg and png files as well... and since my greyscale images were originally jpg files in the first place, I just used them. So I have the JPG file and the EPS file. I suggested to the tex2pdf auhors three improvements: - allow includegraphics command to span several lines (easy with perl instead of sed); - put a time stamp to prevent conversion to pdf if the eps is older (useful for repetitive conversions); - put a check on availability of jpg or png images to prevent conversion May be due to the age of my teTeX install, but eps2pdf after convert from jpg/png to eps may give bad results, it seems better to use the original graphic when available. tex2pdf does a great job to get bookmarks, thumbnails and hyperrefs in a snap of a finger and these small improvments would make use of graphics in their original version easier. Sorry I couln'd give a hand to it... BTW, didn't check, there improvements might have been made in the last release. -- Jean-Pierre
Re: LyX on a CD
Hi! Just to give another example of excellent Unix installation procedures: take a look at Debian. Installing lyx is this line (as root): 'apt-get install lyx'. Thats it. apt resolves all dependencies, loads all needed packages from the configured source (cd, nfs, ftp, http) and installs them. It will only ask you if it really needs to and if it wants to overwrite a configuration file. Normally packages are so well preconfigured that you don't have to do anything yourself. Packages are also removed painlessly. There are other places where Windows is superior (printing springs into mind), but not in that field. ciao marksu

Dear all! When trying to change /usr/share/lyx/languages to recognise Chinese-Big5, I noted that CJK-LyX seems unable to find big5 encoding information. I guess this information is to be found in /usr/share/lyx/encodings. How do I go about modifying /usr/share/lyx/encodings so that big5 (or GB) is available?

ieee template
hi I am about to write an article and for that I chose the IEEEtran.lyx template. Opening this resulted in the error that the textclass IEEEtran was unknown. Also I get errors when I try to dvi the templatefile Do I need an update of the template and the texclasses - and where do I find it? I use 1.1.6fix2 morten -- -- E-Mail: morten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 13-Jun-2001 Time: 16:48:04 Currently working hard for the LAI at INSA-lyon --

Better solution are
1. Put \protect in latex mode before the citation inset.
2. Use a better package for citation. natbib is the most powerful citation
package, but you can use other packages (e.g. newapa)
Menu-keyboard-shcuts in polish problem
Hi, after ubgrading from lyx-1.1.6fix1-1 to lyx-1.1.6fix2-1 I've received pretty menu items in polish, but at the same time I miss handy keybshortcuts for the the menu items. There are only few underlined characters to make Meta(Alt)+ cuts. Can I do something to make it work as in 1.1.6fix1-1? What have I to do and haw to do it? Any sugestion, pleasy, Greetings, Bruno PS. Please, use my private email as I am not in the list now. -- - Tym si konnica zdaje najpikniejsza na czarnej ziemi, tamtym znów piechota, innym okrty.

See http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/bibtex/bibtopic.html > I can't even insert references with the lyx popup but have to put it in ERT. To allow insertion of citation with lyx, insert a "bibtex generated references" inset at the end of the document, and change the layout of the paragraph to comment.

The solution is not there.
Put \setcounter{page}{0} in the preamble.
Q: multi-line formula numbering
Hello all, I'm trying to get this problem solved. I've look up lyx documents, latex books, Deja news, and of course, this lyx mailing list. The situation I have is examplified as follows, I have a 3-line equation such as a=b+c d=e+f g=h+i If I use lyx labeling system, the above equation is labeled like a=b+c (1) d=e+f (2) g=h+i (3) But what I want is something like a=b+c (1.1) d=e+f (1.2) g=h+i (1.3) Can any lyx guru help me on this? Any help would be appreciated. Wonil

in latex preamble
\renewcommand{\theequation}{\thechapter.\arabic{equation}}
or \thesection instead of \thechapter if you have article class
