Re: Elsart layout
Thanks for trying this.
Just had a further look, and I'm guessing that you're trying to get output
as in example 2 of instraut.ps, where the authors are one after the other,
followed by addresses? I have to admit, this isn't a format I've ever had
to use, so I didn't think of it.
You are right, I forgot to mention it.
As you can not have parameters in LyX layouts, I modified the layout:
Style Author1
CopyStyle Author
LatexParam[inst1]
End
Style AuthorAddress1
CopyStyle AuthorAddress
LatexParam[inst1]
End
(I had to change Author_Address to AuthorAddress. It does not work with
CopyStyle! lyx announce it does not know Author_Address but 'Author Address'
which does not work eather. AuthorAddress is safe enough.)
Same for the second author. This does what I want with the flaw of inserting
too many newlines after the \author and \address commands.
As to the question, I don't know. I suspect it may need some internal
work, but others on lyx-devel are better able to comment.
Yeah. It seems to me that each Style = new paragraph.
Configurable options are: textclass, classoption, paragraph layouts.
But there is probably no way to customize a text property like \emph which is
the way how \author is used in elsevier's style.
We are then trying to describe the Author field in Elsevier's style as
paragraph that is actualy not a paragraph. :)
It can, of course, be done using ert, but you may well not find that a
suitable answer.
I tried to use ERT but I had to define
Style StandardInTitle
CopyStyle Standard
InTitle 1
End
because of \frontmatter.
Well, it is a way around, but not too nice though.
Thanks,
Vasek

I've just done a check, and I'm not sure I see what you mean. Latexing
the outputted tex file, and either including the extra newlines or not
seems to lead to the same result. BTW, I'm trying to reproduce the out as
in the first example of the Elsevier instructions. The second example
uses a different format.
I've attached the tex output, with a space between the first two authors,

However, using multiple authors gives strange results.
LyX exports them as
\author{author1}
\author{author2}
which is not tolerable for elsart.cls -- it inserts \parsep inbetween.
If I remove newlines from exported .tex, everything works as expected.
Is there any command in LyX that prevent exporting so many newlines

lyx 1.2.1 and included postscript
I am writing university lectures using lyx 1.2.1 and have noticed what seems like a bug.

However, if I Export-Latex and then latex/dvips the result latex file the postscript image comes out in all its original glory. Have I missed something simple or is this really a problem in 1.2.1?

Re: Elsart layout
Thanks for trying this.
Just had a further look, and I'm guessing that you're trying to get output
as in example 2 of instraut.ps, where the authors are one after the other,
followed by addresses? I have to admit, this isn't a format I've ever had
to use, so I didn't think of it.
You are right, I forgot to mention it.
As you can not have parameters in LyX layouts, I modified the layout:
Style Author1
CopyStyle Author
LatexParam[inst1]
End
Style AuthorAddress1
CopyStyle AuthorAddress
LatexParam[inst1]
End
(I had to change Author_Address to AuthorAddress. It does not work with
CopyStyle! lyx announce it does not know Author_Address but 'Author Address'
which does not work eather. AuthorAddress is safe enough.)
Same for the second author. This does what I want with the flaw of inserting
too many newlines after the \author and \address commands.
As to the question, I don't know. I suspect it may need some internal
work, but others on lyx-devel are better able to comment.
Yeah. It seems to me that each Style = new paragraph.
Configurable options are: textclass, classoption, paragraph layouts.
But there is probably no way to customize a text property like \emph which is
the way how \author is used in elsevier's style.
We are then trying to describe the Author field in Elsevier's style as
paragraph that is actualy not a paragraph. :)
It can, of course, be done using ert, but you may well not find that a
suitable answer.
I tried to use ERT but I had to define
Style StandardInTitle
CopyStyle Standard
InTitle 1
End
because of \frontmatter.
Well, it is a way around, but not too nice though.
Thanks,
Vasek

Thanks for having a look at this, I'm not an expert at either lyx or the

I've just done a check, and I'm not sure I see what you mean. Latexing
the outputted tex file, and either including the extra newlines or not
seems to lead to the same result. BTW, I'm trying to reproduce the out as
in the first example of the Elsevier instructions. The second example
uses a different format.
I've attached the tex output, with a space between the first two authors,
and one betweent the second and last. The spacing in the dvi seems the
same.

Hi,
thanks for the link. I followed the discussion and understood that the

to work quite well.
However, using multiple authors gives strange results.
LyX exports them as
\author{author1}
\author{author2}
which is not tolerable for elsart.cls -- it inserts \parsep inbetween.
If I remove newlines from exported .tex, everything works as expected.
Is there any command in LyX that prevent exporting so many newlines
after the Command?

The image has to be rotated 270 degrees and output at ~60% of actual size in order to fit it within my page margins (US Letter). Beneath this figure is the figure legend (not figure caption). My other figures are fine, with the text of the figure legend close beneath the figure itself. With this particular image, however, it insists on having extra whitespace. How do I eliminate this in lyx and its output when the eps image itself appears correct according to gv? praedor -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+X6FZwDUPEkSvRHERAgJuAJ9x3HnGBD2MAoCvG0g032aRLUAyOQCgoxK2 hbqY2tP/enfHBhhjbEkzkgc= =RTET -END PGP SIGNATURE-
lyx 1.2.1 and included postscript
I am writing university lectures using lyx 1.2.1 and have noticed what seems like a bug. When I include a postscript file in my document and then "Export->Postscript" the postscript seems to be rendered as a low resolution bit map and is typically unreadable. However, if I "Export->Latex" and then latex/dvips the result latex file the postscript image comes out in all its original glory. Have I missed something simple or is this really a problem in 1.2.1?

Lyx 1.3.0 ignoring paper sizes?
Hi all, I just tried to use the paper size option in lyx 1.3.0 (the redhat8 rpm from the lyx site, qt frontend). I can set the option allright, but it seems to be blissfully ignored. I get letter-sized output regardless of what I choose (I tried A4, US Executive and a few more). Is this a new/known bug, or am I missing something obvious? I'd used these options in the 1.1.x days many times without ever having any problems. Thanks for any input. Best, f.
powerpoint to latex/lyx?
Hi.. does anyone know if there's a converter that takes a powerpoint file and converts it to LaTeX or LyX? Thanks, nirmal
Problems with XFree86
Hi I was using Starnet Xwin32, but because it is an evaluation program I switched to XFree86. It works fine, but when it displays formulas like for example \theta it displays a \mu. When I create the dvi it shows the theta. So I don't know is some type of configurations. Does someone has an idea how to fix that. Thanks Jose
LyX 1.3.0 ignoring commands in layout preamble
I have a LyX layout that I used with 1.1.6 to write my master's thesis,
but it isn't working quite right with 1.3.0. In particular, I have the
following for the layout preamble:
Preamble
\def\bibname{BIBLIOGRAPHY}

{\specialchapt{\bibname

[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]

\endlist}
\usepackage{tocloft}

\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand\bibname{BIBLIOGRAPHY}}
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand\contentsname{\centering \large TABLE

OF FIGURES}}
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand\listtablename{\centering \large LIST
OF TABLES}}
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\chaptername}{}}
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\appendixname}{APPENDIX\ }}
EndPreamble
Basically, all of this is being ignored when the document is rendered.
Is there something I have to do to update my layout for use with 1.3.0?

Probably not, but you can export PowerPoint to RTF (for outline) and set of HTML/PNG files, which can be all then assembled into LyX/LaTeX-based presentation.

RE: Insert -> Floats -> Floatflt Figure??? in 1.3
Thanks! I have figured out that standard article class does not have algorithm floats and table floats. Funny? Before the upgrade, they were there. Anyway, I have changed the class to article(AMS) and the floats are back. I will also take your suggestion to input stdfloats.inc. However, I added it at the first line in "stdclass.inc" under ".lyx/layouts" and it worked.

I click on Insert->Floats->Floatflt Figure. It gives me the usual figure box but with the title "wrap:figure" instead of "float:figure" tab. And "Floatflt Figure" is the only option under Floats.

If you use your own layout file, (or a modified version of a layout file that comes with LyX, you should add Input stdfloats.inc to the layout file.
Re: Problems with XFree86
You just missed a thread about this (is there an archive for this list somewhere?) Make sure that you have latex-ttf-fonts installed (available on ftp.lyx.org), and that your XftConfig includes the directory where those fonts are. This should fix the problem.

You are right, I forgot to mention it.
As you can not have parameters in LyX layouts, I modified the layout:
Style Author1
CopyStyle Author
LatexParam[inst1]
End
Style AuthorAddress1
CopyStyle AuthorAddress
LatexParam[inst1]
End
(I had to change Author_Address to AuthorAddress. It does not work with
CopyStyle! lyx announce it does not know Author_Address but 'Author Address'
which does not work eather. AuthorAddress is safe enough.)
Same for the second author. This does what I want with the flaw of inserting
too many newlines after the \author and \address commands.

Yeah. It seems to me that each Style = new paragraph.
Configurable options are: textclass, classoption, paragraph layouts.
But there is probably no way to customize a text property like \emph which is
the way how \author is used in elsevier's style.
We are then trying to describe the Author field in Elsevier's style as
"paragraph that is actualy not a paragraph". :)

I tried to use ERT but I had to define
Style StandardInTitle
CopyStyle Standard
InTitle 1
End
because of \frontmatter.
Well, it is a way around, but not too nice though.

What works is "Author Address".
