Re: Page breaks for double column

 Hello,
 
 Originally, I had a single column paper using the article document
 layout.  I am required to convert this to a two-column layout.  My
 problem is that, when viewed in .dvi, it shows my table of contents and
 bibliography on the same pages as the text of my research paper, even
 though I have page breaks inserted to separate these parts of my paper.

put \usepackage{multicols} in your praeambel; with \begin{multicols}{2}
in ERT you can switch to the two column-layout.
At the end of your document put an \end{multicols}.


 I also need to start the numbering on the first page of the paper itself,
 not on the table of contents page. Everything else about the article
 layout is great.  Any help appreciated.

put \thispagestyle{empty} in RET on the first page (with the TOC). With
\setcounter{page}{0} in RET you can reset the pagenumber to zero.
Have a look to the short lyx-example-file. There a the commands above a
little bit enhanced with the possibility to change the
columnseparator-width.

I hope this helps

It seems the correct way to achieve this is with the following in the preamble:

\let\foobar=\includegraphics
\renewcommand{\includegraphics}[1]{\foobar*{#1}}

Works nicely now!

This doesn't work as you define an endless recursive macro.
Use

Convert to html with include/input docs

[Fab themroc]

Hello.

Using lyx-1.6fix4 on Debian, i've got a problem when i want to
convert a lyx-file with some other include/input lyx-files inside: the
final html-file does not include the files i wanted. This happens both
with hevea and latex2html. What have i done wrong? Having only one
lyx-file is a solution, but is it the only one?

I have another question, wich is more hevea or latex2html oriented: when i
include urls in a document, latex2html does not make a link with them
(only writes the url), and hevea makes a link only with the letter next
the url. 
with hevea

Dear JMarc and Juergen,

1) Now, open it with LyX 1.1.6fix4. Keep the foot closed. Then copy a word 
from anywher in the text. If you paste it before the foot, then it is OK. 
Paste it after the foot, the problem appears. It changes the language of 
the word back to English. 
2) Now open the foot-box by clicking it. Then the problem disappears!
3) You can change the language of the text anything different from English (I 
tried German, Italian), the problem is the same.
4) Delete foot: The problem disappears.

I hope this observation helps to figure out this little bug.

Best wishes,
Laszlo

How do I get Lyx to clip an EPS image to its bounding box? I pure Latex this
is 
quite easy, by simply using
\includegraphics*  in place of  \includegraphics . I know that Lyx uses 
\includegraphics internally (its in the
generated Latex source) but how do I get it to use \includegraphics* instead 
from within Lyx?

More generally speaking, how do you pass options/parameters to
includegraphics 
from within Lyx?
 
 
 AFAIK, you cannot.
 
 A workaround would be to have

Re: Getting Lyx to clip EPS image to bounding box

[Rudolph van der Merwe]

It seems the correct way to achieve this is with the following in the preamble:

\let\foobar=\includegraphics
\renewcommand{\includegraphics}[1]{\foobar*{#1}}

Works nicely now!

This doesn't work as you define an endless recursive macro.
Use

\let\oldincludegraphics=\includegraphics

Convert to html with include/input docs

[Fab themroc]

Hello.

Using lyx-1.6fix4 on Debian, i've got a problem when i want to
convert a lyx-file with some other include/input lyx-files inside: the
final html-file does not include the files i wanted. This happens both
with hevea and latex2html. What have i done wrong? Having only one
lyx-file is a solution, but is it the only one?

I have another question, wich is more hevea or latex2html oriented: when i
include urls in a document, latex2html does not make a link with them
(only writes the url), and hevea makes a link only with the letter next
the url. 
with hevea

Dear JMarc and Juergen,

\the_end


1) Now, open it with LyX 1.1.6fix4. Keep the foot closed. Then copy a word 
from anywher in the text. If you paste it before the foot, then it is OK. 
Paste it after the foot, the problem appears. It changes the language of 
the word back to English. 
2) Now open the foot-box by clicking it. Then the problem disappears!
3) You can change the language of the text anything different from English (I 
tried German, Italian), the problem is the same.
4) Delete foot: The problem disappears.

I hope this observation helps to figure out this little bug.

Best wishes,
Laszlo

put \thispagestyle{empty} in RET on the first page (with the TOC). With
\setcounter{page}{0} in RET you can reset the pagenumber to zero.
Have a look to the short lyx-example-file. There a the commands above a
little bit enhanced with the possibility to change the

It should work.
Please give a minimal example file.

multicols has a very big drawback: it does not support floats.

\renewcommand\paragraph{\@startsection{paragraph}{4}{\z@}%
{0ex}%
{-1em}%
{\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}

Perhaps using '0ex \@plus1ex' instead of '0ex' would be better.

Yes, me. It is a known bug. I asked for help some months ago already and
it was confirmed on the list, then. :-(

By the way: Does KLyX behave the same?

Convert to html with include/input docs

[Fab themroc]

Hello.

Using lyx-1.6fix4 on Debian, i've got a problem when i want to
convert a lyx-file with some other include/input lyx-files inside: the
final html-file does not include the files i wanted. This happens both
with hevea and latex2html. What have i done wrong? Having only one
lyx-file is a solution, but is it the only one?

I have another question, wich is more hevea or latex2html oriented: when i
include urls in a document, latex2html does not make a link with them
(only writes the url), and hevea makes a link only with the letter next
the url. 
with hevea

small formulas

When I need multi-line equation I  create a matrix. Sometimes the formulad
are very small  and the lines are very  close. Is there a way  to get more

Re: Copy/paste changes language

[Laszlo E Szabo]

Dear JMarc and Juergen,

[First, I didn't set language to Bulgarian, of course, because the text is 
Hungarian:) ]
I made the following observation. Here is a little lyx-file:


#LyX 1.1 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/
\lyxformat 218
\textclass article
\language magyar
\inputencoding auto
\fontscheme default
\graphics default
\paperfontsize default
\spacing single 
\papersize Default
\paperpackage a4
\use_geometry 0
\use_amsmath 0
\paperorientation portrait
\secnumdepth 3
\tocdepth 3
\paragraph_separation indent
\defskip medskip
\quotes_language english
\quotes_times 2
\papercolumns 1
\papersides 1
\paperpagestyle default

\layout Standard

Els\i \H{o}
 közelítésben valóban úgy t\i \H{u}
nik, ha ez a kontrafaktuális mondat igaz,
 akkor a virágok elhervadásának oka Mari nem-locsolása.
 Úgy értjük, sok minden más mellett, ez egy releváns kauzális faktor.
 A helyzet azonban ett\i \H{o}
l bonyolultabb, hiszen nyilván igaz a következ\i \H{o}
 mondat
 is:
\begin_inset Quotes pld
\end_inset

Ha George Buch locsolta volna a virágaimat, akkor nem hervadtak volna el.
\begin_inset Quotes prd
\end_inset 


\begin_float footnote
\layout Standard

A találó példa Jaegwon Kimt\i \H{o}
l származik.
\end_float 
 Mégsem gondolnánk, hogy virágaim elhervadásának oka az egyesült államok
 elnökének nem-locsolása.
 Mégcsak azt sem gondoljuk, hogy az elnök nem-locsolása egyike a releváns
 kauzális faktoroknak.

\the_end


1) Now, open it with LyX 1.1.6fix4. Keep the "foot" closed. Then copy a word 
from anywher in the text. If you paste it before the "foot", then it is OK. 
Paste it after the "foot", the problem appears. It changes the language of 
the word back to English. 
2) Now open the "foot"-box by clicking it. Then the problem disappears!
3) You can change the language of the text anything different from English (I 
tried German, Italian), the problem is the same.
4) Delete "foot": The problem disappears.

I hope this observation helps to figure out this little bug.

Best wishes,
Laszlo

OK, time for me to go home and rest. Note that in the unlikely event
that you would like to use bulgarian, I have added support for it in

Well, I have very nice memories of the Bulgarian seeside ... but 
unfortunately I don't speak the language. Anyhow, thank you, and 
congratulations!

One more info about the copy/paste problem: I checked on Klyx 0.9.9. It works 
correctly.

Best,
Laszlo
