 Compiler? I'm sorry, but I dont have the time to fiddel around trying to

 error messages that I dont understand. I do think that it is a must to
 have precompiled binaries for basic users like me not capable to review

 I tried Lyx on my previus RH6.2 system and I did like it. I apreciate
 the great amount of work others have put into it and I hope some day

 another way to get my work done. ..And I certanly look forward to a Qt

No problem. I don't have time to solve other people's problems anyway.
When I try such things I usually end up learning new ways to get things
done and this is more than I can stand. I really hope some day LyX users
will figure out how to use their favourite window manager to do everything
LyX can do and spare me their whining.

RevTex errors out of the box

2001-07-30 Thread magni

Greetings,
I'm at a dead point using LyX with the RevTex template.
(just installed last fix release)-

Starting out with New-from template-RevTex4, I get an almost empty doc. 
Fine, I try to compile it already, and get 4 merror messages, on the line:
... you can cite references with the LyX [Error]Error]Error]Error]citation 
commands...

Error1: TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=300] citation commands 
\cite{mycitation}. If you really absolutely need more capacity you can ask a 
wizard to enlarge me.

Error2: Undefined control sequence \cite{mycitation}.

and so on, all presumably triggered by 1st error.
Deleting the citation solves the problem, but I'm not supposed to write a 
scientific article without citations (bad move ;-)

RevTeX template performs even worse, with 22 (!) errors on 1st line, the 
first being Undef. control sequence 
\bbl@redefine\LaTeX{\textlatin{\org@LaTeX }}, and I spare the other errors 
for a rainy day.

Didn't quite work, however, it works if I put just

 make your own titlepage with different character-sizes

Did this, it's fine now.

The problem was that the Title was so long that it spanned two lines and
when I used Large style without \maketitle, the line spacing was far too
small (which it wasn't with the \maketitle).  However, I read about
setspace package and \doublespace and with it it's perfect.

long table footnotes problem (1.1.6fix3)

2001-07-30 Thread Jacek M. Holeczek

Hi,
I have a file written with 1.1.5fix2 which contains some long-tables. Many
of rows contain footnotes. I used ctrl-enter to place linebreaks, so
that the table fits to the screen (in lyx window), but new lyx (1.1.6fix3)
ignores them. All cells are made one-row. Then the table does not fit to
the screen when in lyx window (the .dvi and .ps output is fine, of course)
so I have  a lot of troubles trying to edit these tables.
Any hints ?
Thanks in advance,
Jacek.

Would it help to put a fixed width for the columns? If you don't want that
you should still be able to edit all of it as the text should scroll to the
left. Maybe this is not perfect in 1.1.6, but this definitively works for
the actual cvs version (I know this is of not much help to you).

So the ONLY possible solution for you is to put a fixed with to the columns!

 \sectionfont{\centering\large\bfseries\uppercase} 

 Don't put \pagebreak in there. Either modify the layout file, or just insert 
 it after the section command in your document.

Ok, it was \pagebreak which made \uppercase not to work in this case. So
it seems I have two possibilities:
- Write it in uppercase manually, and let \pagebreak happen
  automatically before the highest-level section headers, or vice versa,
- Let \uppercase happen automatically and insert manually pagebreaks.

Or I could just modify Layout file... possible, but I'd rather avoid this.

 Also, in your example, I think you want \bfseries rather than simply \bf. 

Probably. I don't know. 
http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/dept/Texhtml/ltx-2.html
doesn't have \bfseries in the list and I don't know what's the difference.
In the preview I don't see any difference.

files not updating

2001-07-30 Thread Anthony Peck

Hi lyx-gurus,

I am using lyx-1.1.6-3mdk.rpm on MD8.0 and having trouble 
with viewing dvi or ps.  If I am editing a file called 
gradint.lyx, when I first run view-postscript or
view-dvi all is well.  When I edit and run again nothing
has changed, even though the buffer shows the change the 
viewers seem to pick up on a multitude of files which are 
generated instead.  Here is a list of the files:

gradint.aux
gradint.dvi
gradint.log
gradint.ps
gradint.tex
gradint.tex.dep

If I delete these then the update or view is OK.  I cannot
find how to stop these backups or mid-conversion files
from being produced (if I save the file and then select
file-revert to saved then it updates, though this seems a
bit extreme!).

I hope someone is able to help,

Cheers - AP

Didn't quite work, however, it works if I put just
\renewcommand\contentsname{CONTENTS}
right before the TOC. So, thanks.

 make your own titlepage with different character-sizes

Did this, it's fine now.

The problem was that the Title was so long that it spanned two lines and
when I used Large style without \maketitle, the line spacing was far too
small (which it wasn't with the \maketitle).  However, I read about
setspace package and \doublespace and with it it's perfect.

long table footnotes problem (1.1.6fix3)

Hi,
I have a file written with 1.1.5fix2 which contains some long-tables. Many

that the table fits to the screen (in lyx window), but new lyx (1.1.6fix3)

 Don't put \pagebreak in there. Either modify the layout file, or just insert 
 it after the section command in your document.

Ok, it was \pagebreak which made \uppercase not to work in this case. So
it seems I have two possibilities:
- Write it in uppercase manually, and let \pagebreak happen
  automatically before the highest-level section headers, or vice versa,
- Let \uppercase happen automatically and insert manually pagebreaks.

Or I could just modify Layout file... possible, but I'd rather avoid this.

 Also, in your example, I think you want \bfseries rather than simply \bf. 

Probably. I don't know. 
http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/dept/Texhtml/ltx-2.html
doesn't have \bfseries in the list and I don't know what's the difference.
In the preview I don't see any difference.

files not updating

2001-07-30 Thread Anthony Peck

Hi lyx-gurus,

I am using lyx-1.1.6-3mdk.rpm on MD8.0 and having trouble 
with viewing dvi or ps.  If I am editing a file called 
gradint.lyx, when I first run view-postscript or
view-dvi all is well.  When I edit and run again nothing
has changed, even though the buffer shows the change the 
viewers seem to pick up on a multitude of files which are 
generated instead.  Here is a list of the files:

gradint.aux
gradint.dvi
gradint.log
gradint.ps
gradint.tex
gradint.tex.dep

If I delete these then the update or view is OK.  I cannot
find how to stop these backups or mid-conversion files
from being produced (if I save the file and then select
file-revert to saved then it updates, though this seems a
bit extreme!).

I hope someone is able to help,

Cheers - AP

No problem. I don't have time to solve other people's problems anyway.
When I try such things I usually end up learning new ways to get things

A better solution if you use NSDAP several times in your document, is to put

RevTex errors out of the box

2001-07-30 Thread magni

Greetings,
I'm at a dead point using LyX with the RevTex template.
(just installed last fix release)-

Starting out with New->from template->RevTex4, I get an almost empty doc. 
Fine, I try to compile it already, and get 4 merror messages, on the line:
"... you can cite references with the LyX [Error]Error]Error]Error]citation 
commands..."

Error1: TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=300] citation commands 
\cite{mycitation}. If you really absolutely need more capacity you can ask a 
wizard to enlarge me.

Error2: Undefined control sequence \cite{mycitation}.

and so on, all presumably triggered by 1st error.
Deleting the citation solves the problem, but I'm not supposed to write a 
scientific article without citations (bad move ;-)

RevTeX template performs even worse, with 22 (!) errors on 1st line, the 
first being "Undef. control sequence 
\bbl@redefine\LaTeX{\textlatin{\org@LaTeX }}", and I spare the other errors 
for a rainy day.


Some idea/advice?

Thanks

Did this, it's fine now.

The problem was that the Title was so long that it spanned two lines and
when I used "Large" style without \maketitle, the line spacing was far too

"setspace" package and \doublespace and with it it's perfect.

Ok, it was \pagebreak which made \uppercase not to work in this case. So
it seems I have two possibilities:
- Write it in uppercase manually, and let \pagebreak happen
  automatically before the highest-level section headers, or vice versa,
- Let \uppercase happen automatically and insert manually pagebreaks.

Or I could just modify Layout file... possible, but I'd rather avoid this.

> Also, in your example, I think you want \bfseries rather than simply \bf. 

Probably. I don't know. 
http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/dept/Texhtml/ltx-2.html
doesn't have \bfseries in the list and I don't know what's the difference.
In the preview I don't see any difference.

than write this in preamble

\renewcommand\section{\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@}%
 {-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
 {2.3ex \@plus.2ex}%
 {\normalfont\Large\bfseries\uppercase}%
}

I know, but it's better to write it in more than one line,
especially when searching for errors. on the other hand
latex sometimes don't allow a linebreak in the commands
and the % ignores following chars and the linebreak

RE: insert __.txt into klyx

Sorry Cristoph, but I don't understand.
What do you mean with "mark" the file? How could I include the file?

Lyx 1.1.6fix3 for Win32

2001-07-30 Thread Claus Hentschel

The current release Lyx 1.1.6fix3 now is available for Win32, too. Have a
look at
http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm
as usual ;-)

files not updating

2001-07-30 Thread Anthony Peck

Hi lyx-gurus,

I am using lyx-1.1.6-3mdk.rpm on MD8.0 and having trouble 
with viewing dvi or ps.  If I am editing a file called 
gradint.lyx, when I first run view->postscript or
view->dvi all is well.  When I edit and run again nothing
has changed, even though the buffer shows the change the 
viewers seem to pick up on a multitude of files which are 
generated instead.  Here is a list of the files:

gradint.aux
gradint.dvi
gradint.log
gradint.ps
gradint.tex
gradint.tex.dep

If I delete these then the update or view is OK.  I cannot
find how to stop these "backups" or mid-conversion files
from being produced (if I save the file and then select
file->revert to saved then it updates, though this seems a
bit extreme!).

I hope someone is able to help,

Cheers - AP

Thank you! Extending your idea into
\renewcommand\section{
\ifx \aftercontents \undefined%
   { }
\else
\pagebreak
\fi
 \@startsection {section}{1}{\z@}%
 {-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
 {2.3ex \@plus.2ex}%
 {\normalfont\centering\large\bfseries\uppercase}%
}

and putting
   \newcommand{\aftercontents}{true}
after TOC, I get exactly what I want: both pagebreak and uppercase for
topmost section headers, neither for subsection headers (and not an empty
page before TOC)

btw: is there a LaTeX construct to comment several lines, something like
/* ... */ or #if 0 ... #endif in C? (If there's online reference, I'd be
happy for just an URL/pathname)

% makes a comment.

Diff between \bf and \bfseries: 
 \bf 'toggles' bold, until such time as you issue, say, \rm.
 \bfseries scopes over bracketed text only.

Try http://www.astro.ku.dk/help/LaTeX/ltx-2.html for a good list of commands.

Opps. Quoted you the material you already quoted me. \bfseries is explained 
under Fonts->Styles->Font Selection
