there is a whole section in the UserGuide.lyx which
describes this kind of math-stuff:
5.1.6 Sums and Integrals
would be nice for the doc-team and their work, when you pay
attention for the layout->help topics ;-)
attached your test-file with both formula-styles:
super/subscript and over/under limits

Re: this is wonderful! (LyX) bit of help needed
Do you have xdvi installed on your system? Alternatively, you could try to view Postscript. This will require gv or the like.

i just installed LyX and it said to see the great output by going to -View- and selecting dvi -my xterm said there was some sort of unfound command error with "splash" or something or other... any idea what i'm referring to and what to fix? or where to find the necessary info? TIA max
Math question, how to do this?
I'm trying to get summation indexes in right position (please see the attached .pdf and .lyx files). Looks like lyx is making mistake on interpreting index positions when its combined with fractions. Can anyone on list confirm this or let me know if there is work around for it? Thanks, -Mohammad test.lyx test.pdf

Problems with forms.h (again)
Hi, LyX seems really cool; I want to start playing around with it badly, but can't seem to get it to work. I've searched the e-mail list and can't seem to find a good answer to my problem, so I'll try it here. First, let me explain that I don't have root access to the RedHat6.2 system that I'm trying to install it on, so I want to install it (lyx-1.1.6fix3) in my home directory. At the end of running configure, I get this message: The following problems have been detected by configure. Please check the messages below before running 'make'. (see the section 'Problems' in the INSTALL file) ** Cannot find libforms or libxforms. Please check that the xforms library is correctly installed on your system. ** Cannot find forms.h. Please check that the forms library is correctly installed on your system. Reading the INSTALL file, I see that I need xforms. I download it from the site and decompress it. Now, I try to use --with-extra-lib= and --with-extra-inf= flags. The first problem goes away, but the second one remains. I check the directory and sure enough there is a "forms.h" file in there. Yet, configure cannot find it. I tried tricking it by using --with-extra-prefix= flag, but that didn't work. So, I'm at a loss. Any help? Peace and Luck! Je77

We do this at configure stage. Also do Edit->Reconfigure it has a line that says: +checking for linuxdoc class linuxdoc... yes That is enough. In reality we only search for sgml2lyx to be present in the system PATH, assuming from there that the version 1 of sgml-tools is installed. We use it then to preview the document in dvi, ps or html. > I thought to query Lyx itself and see, but couldn't find a command line > argument to check (I could just run lyx -e linuxdoc empty.lyx, but I *think* > that on older version of Lyx that'll run the full UI, which would not be > desirable in a configure script). > > I noted the textclass.lst file in the Lyx share directory, and thought that if > it answered to: > > grep "^\"linuxdoc" "$LYXLIBDIR/textclass.lst > > Then I would be OK (I note, however, that textclass.lst in my environment > mentions docbook, but Lyx doesn't support export to DocBook (?)). Yes it does. Notice that the sgmltools package version 2 or 3 support docbook, and lyx autodetects that on the configuration step. > The man page for Lyx says: > The system directory is determined by searching for the file "chkconfig.ltx". >Directories are searched in this order: >1) -sysdir command line parameter >2) LYX_DIR_11x environment variable >3) Maybe /TOP_SRCDIR/lib >4) /../share// >5)hardcodedlyx_dir(usually /usr/local/share/lyx on > UNIX and >%X11ROOT%\XFree86\lib\X11\lyx on OS/2 with XFree) > > Ack. What's this about TOP_SRCDIR??? Anyhow, my strategy is to search for > chkconfig.ltx following the above search (but ignoring OS/2, alas), and then, > in that dir, do the above mentioned grep to search for linuxdoc support. lyx -x reconfigure gives you that but leaves the window opened.

Re: What's the simplest possible way to create a new Document Class?

The problem is that lyx assumes (if not told otherwise) that foo.layout uses
foo.cls.
Since you don't have harticle.cls on your system, it doesn't display your new
class.
The solution is to use
\DeclareLaTeXClass[article]{hello world}
