Re: pdf presentation

2001-07-17 Thread Myriam Abramson


 You can use dvipdfm to generate the PDF.
 If you don't have dvipdfm installed, then after installing it select the
 edit-reconfigure menu in lyx.

Okay, I'll try that. I should specify dvipdfm to generate the pdf in
lyxrc? 

 
 PS: You might also need to change the slide width/height so it will use the
 entire screen. For example, you might need to put 
 \setlength{\slidewidth}{9.5in} in the preamble.

latex2html w/o bibtex?

2001-07-17 Thread Jürgen Spitzmüller

Hi,

When exporting/ viewing html directly from LyX (with setting
latex2html -no_subdir -split 0 -show_section_numbers $$i)
bibtex is obviously not run. I get blanks instead of labels and no 
references! instead of the bibliography.
However, if I export the document to LaTeX and run

latex $$i
bibtex $$i
latex $$i
latex2html -no_subdir -split 0 -show_section_numbers $$i

manually, everything is fine!

This happens with LyX 1.1.6fix2 (bibtopic support in Latex.C enabled) 
and 1.2.0 (CVS from yesterday).
Is this a general problem or do I have to change my settings (I seem to 
remember that this used to work)?

I run texhash, reconfigured lyx, recompiled lyx... no success :-(

Thanks,
Jürgen

Re: What version of XForms should we use?

I believe there was a conclusion to avoid that warning of using LyX with
XForms 0.89, it is used by users and by the developers and no harm is
known to happen from using 0.89

I myself use 0.89 on Debian sid and see no problems with that.

Anything that says otherwise in the docs or in code should probably be
changed.

Great.  Since you are a lyx developper, I think we can safely
that your advice and continue to build using 0.89.
 
 Anything that says otherwise in the docs or in code should probably be

I tracked down the change (dated 2000/04/26) in the README file to
http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/lyx-devel/README.diff?r1=1.3r2=1.4

The diff is:

 2. The Xforms library version 0.81, 0.86 or 0.88.
 2. The Xforms library version 0.88 (recommended) or 0.89.

In that context (the change made and the date it was made on),
the comment doesn't really seem that conclusive against 0.89.
Version 0.89 was still changing a bit, so 0.88 was probably safer
at that point? (I'm speculating)

I'd very appreciate it if you could edit the README and INSTALL
files in CVS so this is made clearer.  (It would be nicer still

  Of interest, I also have to send versions of my papers to

  It would be very useful to be able to insert comments in the
  middle of a paragraph.  e.g.  (break sentence in two)
 (give reference)
  
  I guess margin comments are supposed to provide this
  facility.  However I would like:
1)  The comment marker to be more visible.
   Like the bright yellow and large box of the Note
   marker.
2)  The ability to have the comment appear in
  the text rather than have to open up the marker
  (like math equations).
  This ability needs to controllable on an individual
   comment basis and on a global basis.
3)  The ability to go to prev/next comment.  Thus if
someone
  has marked up my paper with comments I would like to be
  able to go through them one at a time.  I would want to
  be able to program a key to do this.
4)   I personally wouldn't want them printed as happens with
  margin comments.  Personal tastes may vary here.
  I suppose this could be controllable too.
 5)  Note that a Note comment cannot be used here because
   it doesn't allow math equations etc. to be placed in
   them.
 
 Note, that almost all would be solved, if a Note would allow math
 etc. (I darkly remember, that there was something like
 open/close all for floats + the ability to toggle this by
 clicking) ...
 
 So my suggestion would be to make the note box more like a
 footnote box: i.e. it should not open a separate window but an
 inset (like floats, errors, ert-inset, and footnotes) and should
 (as a footnote or a comment) allow all the lyx-stuff like math,
 figures ... 
 
 The difference to the Comment paragraph style would be like the
 one between LaTeX paragraph and ERT-inset (+ the Go To Note
 menu entry in the Navigate menu). 
 
 Normal keybindings would work (xforms and KDE don't work well
 together, therefore my Del key does BS in all popup-windows,
 which sometimes is anoying.
 
 LaTeX export should also export notes (as comments, may be with a
 leading %Note:) (Then also optional printing is possible with
 the right package ...)
 
  What do other people think of this?  Would this be much work or
  could some
 existing code be reused? Should I have posted to devel?

 I myself use 0.89 on Debian sid and see no problems with that.

Great.  Since you are a lyx developper, I think we can safely
that your advice and continue to build using 0.89.
 
 Anything that says otherwise in the docs or in code should probably be
 changed.

I tracked down the change (dated 2000/04/26) in the README file to
http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/lyx-devel/README.diff?r1=1.3r2=1.4

The diff is:

 2. The Xforms library version 0.81, 0.86 or 0.88.
 2. The Xforms library version 0.88 (recommended) or 0.89.

In that context (the change made and the date it was made on),
the comment doesn't really seem that conclusive against 0.89.
Version 0.89 was still changing a bit, so 0.88 was probably safer
at that point? (I'm speculating)

I'd very appreciate it if you could edit the README and INSTALL
files in CVS so this is made clearer.  (It would be nicer still
if a few words were found on the Lyx web site, but that may be
beyond your control.  Should I file a wislist bug at SF?)

 A bug list is available on sourceforge in the project lyx-bugs,
 basically we use sf as our bug archival system.

latex2html w/o bibtex?

2001-07-17 Thread Jürgen Spitzmüller

Hi,

When exporting/ viewing html directly from LyX (with setting
latex2html -no_subdir -split 0 -show_section_numbers $$i)
bibtex is obviously not run. I get blanks instead of labels and "no 
references!" instead of the bibliography.
However, if I export the document to LaTeX and run

latex $$i
bibtex $$i
latex $$i
latex2html -no_subdir -split 0 -show_section_numbers $$i

manually, everything is fine!

This happens with LyX 1.1.6fix2 (bibtopic support in Latex.C enabled) 
and 1.2.0 (CVS from yesterday).
Is this a general problem or do I have to change my settings (I seem to 
remember that this used to work)?

I run texhash, reconfigured lyx, recompiled lyx... no success :-(

Thanks,
Jürgen

I am one of the developers but this is my impression and the fact that I
do not know of any report of problem with 0.89, but I guess any other

File one anyway so it will be kept there in case it falls to the
