Corrupted TOC.lyx in 1.3.1

[faunt]

Odd thing I've run into is that TOC.lyx in documentation will not display.
I get a message (on repeated attempts) about the file being truncated and
it crashes LyX.

I compared the installed file with the one in the original tarball and it
matches.

Has anyone else noticed this?

thanks,

interface to computer algebra systemts

[Serge Winitzki]

Hi,

in 1.3.1 I noticed a new menu item use computer
algebra system. I have some questions:

- this feature is so far undocumented? 

- how to add new computer algebra systems,
particularly free ones (gap, pari/gp, yacas, ...?) Can
a user do this by putting something in .lyx directory?

- I am running LyX on a computer that has Maple but it
is not on the path (such is life where I work). Can I
tell LyX where Maple is?

Thanks!

Install error for LyX 1.3.1 ?!

[Randy Burgess]

I'm a Linux newbie, trying w/a great deal of frustration to install LyX 1.3.1. I'm 
using the Xforms front end, have already installed Xforms 1.0 and Xpm. My LyX 
configure went OK according to the messages. The C compiler (this is on a SuSE 8.1 
distro) is gcc 3.2. When I went to install, things began OK but bombed out with the 
error messages excerpted below. 

Is there anything I can do to fix this and get a working install? The compiler message 
asks me to mail in a bug report, but I don't want to make this a lifetime project. All 
I'm trying to do is see if I would like LyX as an alternative to Microsoft Word on MS 
Windows.

Re: Writing a Novel with LyX?

[Randy Burgess]

 Alas, I end up submitting manuscripts either in 
 hardcopy or in PDF so they can see what it looks 
 like, and in ascii for their publishing
 process.  Trade publishers always reset whatever 
 an author submits, so the formatting is lost in 
 any case. 

What about converting the ascii output to MS Word format via Word macros that convert 
plain-text tags into appropriate Word styles? I ask because I'm writing a how-to book 
(on poker) for a small pub house. I've started in MS Word but am thinking of changing 
to LyX to see what it's like. However my publisher will be giving the manuscript to an 
editor, and it's quite possible that editor will be using MS Word.

Yes, I think that what you need to do is simply make sure that your second 
line in the layout file declares what latex class the layout is based on.
In the example below, 'article' is the class and 'clawar' is the name of 
the layout.

Then run reconfigure, now it should look for the class you want.

Yes it can. There is an old program called reLyX that is used for
importing .tex.  However, it is pretty much unmaintained and has some
annoying bugs for round-tripping.

Andre has started working on a new program called tex2lyx that hopefully
will turn out to work a lot better.

 Insert-Include file, and select verbatim in the dialog. Note that

Unfortunately, this is not what I want as it is not an import, because I

  book, except in rare circumstances. They'll do some work, but not enough.

 I don't know what experience you've had with trade publishing houses,
 but the comments above are misleading or downright wrong.  Trade
 publishers have resources, access to distribution channels, and PR
 capabilities that dwarf self-publishing.  For works that are not
 appropriate to trade, technical, or university presses -- which alas,
 is an increasingly large segment of books today -- self-publishing may
 be effective alternative to not getting published.  But despite the
 do-it-yourself guides that tell you can match the resources and
 distribution of a Random House, Knopf, or St. Martins -- it just ain't
 so!

 Your comments on using LyX for self-published manuscripts seem very
 apt.

I didn't mean to offend or suggest that the large publishing houses are a
bad place to be. My works would have much more limited distribution than
yours apparently have. And I should have stated I have no direct
experience with large publishers, only what I've heard second-hand from other
authors. So take my comment with a glass of salt.

But now I'm curious -- you say the publishing houses have a lot of
resources for promoting and distributing a book. Do they use them? What
kind of numbers of copies (broad ranges) can you expect for non-fiction
material otherwise appropriate for a university press? I don't mean to get
off topic. If you are inclined to discuss, please e-mail me directly.

Back on topic - I realized a limitation of my solution to the *** section
break. I looked at a model book (yes, put out by a major publisher) and
noticed that section breaks with blank pages (or *** between them) are
followed by paragraphs that have a first line flush left. But with my
solution, the next paragraph is just an ordinary one, so it has an indent.

Here's a fix: create a new section* (not the numbered one) and use the
ERT for the text of that section. Only use this one instead, to make the
font smaller:

\makebox[\textwidth][c]{\small* * *}

That should work. Then you'll have a logical section break, divided as you
want it to be.

Ok... we probably need to get some basics right here first...
.sty-files, you add by writing stuff like:
\usepackage{somepackage}
in your preamble.

Then we have the layout and latex classes. These two are connected, I 
guess you can say that each layout is based on a latex class.
In this example, the layout - clawar - was based on the class article.

 
  From my file: clawar.layout
  #% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
  #  \DeclareLaTeXClass[article]{clawar}
  # Article textclass definition file. Taken from initial LyX source code
 

It sounds like you want to use a new class with lyx (mustek), and for that 
you probably have to start by creating a new layout file (mustek.layout?).
Here's an example of how I've created a layout file to use the class 
songbook.

---

configure burps at trying to create a simple qt executable. I have also
tried to include the argument specifying the location of the libs/dev files
but to no avail.

I've attached a gzip'ed config.log.

Re: math editor problems - 1.3.1

[Amir Seginer]

Hello,

Hi.. I'm having trouble with some simple math in the math editor.. I'm getting
errors saying there are missing $, } etc.. I'm attaching a sample file here
which has 2 lines of math text that gives me 15 errors. Please let me know what
needs to be done to correct this (if it can be corrected by the user..)
The problem was in the second equation on the first line. To solve it I 
simply rewrote it (see attached file) --- I'm assuming you didn't want 
the right parenthasis in bold.

 This kind of problem happens to me from time to time in lyx 
(mysterious errors which are solved by rewrting a small section).

In this case it might be the \mathrm in your equation which then 
includes \mathbf (maybe you pressed C-m by mistake within the equation?).

I should add however, that when I deleted by hand the \mathrm and its 
appropriate {} (second attached file), in the exported LaTeX file, 
running Latex on it gave me no problems but importing it back did give 
me problems

I Hope this helps,

Amir.

Re: Writing a Novel with LyX?

[Randy Burgess]

 Alas, I end up submitting manuscripts either in 
 hardcopy or in PDF so they can see what it looks 
 like, and in ascii for their publishing
 process.  Trade publishers always reset whatever 
 an author submits, so the formatting is lost in 
 any case. 

What about converting the ascii output to MS Word format via Word macros that convert 
plain-text tags into appropriate Word styles? I ask because I'm writing a how-to book 
(on poker) for a small pub house. I've started in MS Word but am thinking of changing 
to LyX to see what it's like. However my publisher will be giving the manuscript to an 
editor, and it's quite possible that editor will be using MS Word.

Yes, I think that what you need to do is simply make sure that your second 
line in the layout file declares what latex class the layout is based on.
In the example below, 'article' is the class and 'clawar' is the name of 
the layout.

Then run reconfigure, now it should look for the class you want.

Yes it can. There is an old program called reLyX that is used for
importing .tex.  However, it is pretty much unmaintained and has some
annoying bugs for round-tripping.

Andre has started working on a new program called tex2lyx that hopefully
will turn out to work a lot better.

 Insert-Include file, and select verbatim in the dialog. Note that

  book, except in rare circumstances. They'll do some work, but not enough.

 I don't know what experience you've had with trade publishing houses,
 but the comments above are misleading or downright wrong.  Trade
 publishers have resources, access to distribution channels, and PR
 capabilities that dwarf self-publishing.  For works that are not
 appropriate to trade, technical, or university presses -- which alas,
 is an increasingly large segment of books today -- self-publishing may
 be effective alternative to not getting published.  But despite the
 do-it-yourself guides that tell you can match the resources and
 distribution of a Random House, Knopf, or St. Martins -- it just ain't
 so!

 Your comments on using LyX for self-published manuscripts seem very
 apt.

I didn't mean to offend or suggest that the large publishing houses are a
bad place to be. My works would have much more limited distribution than
yours apparently have. And I should have stated I have no direct
experience with large publishers, only what I've heard second-hand from other
authors. So take my comment with a glass of salt.

But now I'm curious -- you say the publishing houses have a lot of
resources for promoting and distributing a book. Do they use them? What
kind of numbers of copies (broad ranges) can you expect for non-fiction
material otherwise appropriate for a university press? I don't mean to get
off topic. If you are inclined to discuss, please e-mail me directly.

Back on topic - I realized a limitation of my solution to the *** section
break. I looked at a model book (yes, put out by a major publisher) and
noticed that section breaks with blank pages (or *** between them) are
followed by paragraphs that have a first line flush left. But with my
solution, the next paragraph is just an ordinary one, so it has an indent.

Here's a fix: create a new section* (not the numbered one) and use the
ERT for the text of that section. Only use this one instead, to make the
font smaller:

\makebox[\textwidth][c]{\small* * *}

That should work. Then you'll have a logical section break, divided as you
want it to be.

Ok... we probably need to get some basics right here first...
.sty-files, you add by writing stuff like:
\usepackage{somepackage}
in your preamble.

Then we have the layout and latex classes. These two are connected, I 
guess you can say that each layout is based on a latex class.
In this example, the layout - clawar - was based on the class article.

 
  From my file: clawar.layout
  #% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
  #  \DeclareLaTeXClass[article]{clawar}
  # Article textclass definition file. Taken from initial LyX source code
 

It sounds like you want to use a new class with lyx (mustek), and for that 
you probably have to start by creating a new layout file (mustek.layout?).
Here's an example of how I've created a layout file to use the class 
songbook.

ii  libqt3c102-mt  3.1.1-7Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime version)
---

configure burps at trying to create a simple qt executable. I have also
tried to include the argument specifying the location of the libs/dev files
but to no avail.

I've attached a gzip'ed config.log.  

Can anyone tell me if these packages make sense, and where my error is?

Re: math editor problems - 1.3.1

[Amir Seginer]

Hello,

Hi.. I'm having trouble with some simple math in the math editor.. I'm getting
errors saying there are missing $, } etc.. I'm attaching a sample file here
which has 2 lines of math text that gives me 15 errors. Please let me know what
needs to be done to correct this (if it can be corrected by the user..)
The problem was in the second equation on the first line. To solve it I 
simply rewrote it (see attached file) --- I'm assuming you didn't want 
the right parenthasis in bold.

 This kind of problem happens to me from time to time in lyx 
(mysterious errors which are solved by rewrting a small section).

In this case it might be the \mathrm in your equation which then 
includes \mathbf (maybe you pressed C-m by mistake within the equation?).

I should add however, that when I deleted by hand the \mathrm and its 
appropriate {} (second attached file), in the exported LaTeX file, 
running Latex on it gave me no problems but importing it back did give 
me problems

I Hope this helps,

Amir.

- this feature is so far undocumented? 

- how to add new computer algebra systems,
particularly free ones (gap, pari/gp, yacas, ...?) Can
a user do this by putting something in .lyx directory?

- I am running LyX on a computer that has Maple but it
is not on the path (such is life where I work). Can I

What about converting the ascii output to MS Word format via Word macros that convert 
plain-text tags into appropriate Word styles? I ask because I'm writing a how-to book 
(on poker) for a small pub house. I've started in MS Word but am thinking of changing 
to LyX to see what it's like. However my publisher will be giving the manuscript to an 
editor, and it's quite possible that editor will be using MS Word.

Yes, I think that what you need to do is simply make sure that your second 
line in the layout file declares what latex class the layout is based on.
In the example below, 'article' is the class and 'clawar' is the name of 
the layout.

Then run reconfigure, now it should look for the class you want.

Yes it can. There is an old program called reLyX that is used for
importing .tex.  However, it is pretty much unmaintained and has some
annoying bugs for round-tripping.

Andre has started working on a new program called tex2lyx that hopefully
will turn out to work a lot better.

LyX itself exports to latex simple via File->Export->LaTeX

Unfortunately, this is not what I want as it is not an import, because I
cannot see the contents of the file inside Lyx. Also I would have to
deliver another file should I want to share the document in source form
with others.

What I am looking for is an "Insert->Insert File->Ascii as Lyx-Code".

I'm not finding any .layout files in any of the classes I've added

And what if the new classs isn't based on any existing one? There's a
latex music class (mustek) that I'd like to add for one that I don't
believe is based on another existing class.

I think that the ones I've successfully added so far are based on article

I didn't mean to offend or suggest that the large publishing houses are a
bad place to be. My works would have much more limited distribution than
yours apparently have. And I should have stated I have no direct
experience with large publishers, only what I've heard second-hand from other
authors. So take my comment with a glass of salt.

But now I'm curious -- you say the publishing houses have a lot of
resources for promoting and distributing a book. Do they use them? What
kind of numbers of copies (broad ranges) can you expect for non-fiction
material otherwise appropriate for a university press? I don't mean to get
off topic. If you are inclined to discuss, please e-mail me directly.

Back on topic - I realized a limitation of my solution to the *** section
break. I looked at a model book (yes, put out by a major publisher) and
noticed that section breaks with blank pages (or *** between them) are
followed by paragraphs that have a first line flush left. But with my
solution, the next paragraph is just an ordinary one, so it has an indent.

Here's a fix: create a new section* (not the numbered one) and use the
ERT for the text of that section. Only use this one instead, to make the
font smaller:

\makebox[\textwidth][c]{\small* * *}

That should work. Then you'll have a logical section break, divided as you
want it to be.

Ok... we probably need to get some basics right here first...
.sty-files, you add by writing stuff like:
\usepackage{somepackage}
in your preamble.

Then we have the layout and latex classes. These two are connected, I 
guess you can say that each layout is based on a latex class.
In this example, the layout - clawar - was based on the class article.

It sounds like you want to use a new class with lyx (mustek), and for that 
you probably have to start by creating a new layout file (mustek.layout?).
Here's an example of how I've created a layout file to use the class 
songbook.

You either need to grab lyxdoc from CVS, or wait until 1.3.2

Re: page number location

Well, okay. I ended up changing the top margin and fixing headsep (in
the lyx gui) and  headwidth in preamble. Please note that maybe
headwidth should be added to the document->paper interface
thingie. Please let me know if there is a better solution. 

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\addtolength{\headwidth}{0.5in}

compiling 1.3.1 qt on Debian Sid fails. Which qt libs?

[Kenward Vaughan]

I have the same problem mentioned by a fellow in an earlier thread, but I
don't have a clue where my problem is.  The qt packages I have installed
are:

--
11:01:11
daddy:~# dpkg -l "qt*"|grep ^i
ii  qt2-dev-tools  2.3.2-12   Qt2 development tools

11:01:40
daddy:~# dpkg -l "libqt*"|grep ^i
ii  libqt-dev  2.3.2-12   Qt GUI development files
ii  libqt2 2.3.2-12   Qt GUI Library (runtime version)
ii  libqt3c102-mt  3.1.1-7Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime version)
---

configure burps at trying to create a simple qt executable. I have also
tried to include the argument specifying the location of the libs/dev files
but to no avail.

I've attached a gzip'ed config.log.  

Can anyone tell me if these packages make sense, and where my error is? 
Many thanks for the help!

Re: math editor problems - 1.3.1

[Amir Seginer]

Hello,

Hi.. I'm having trouble with some simple math in the math editor.. I'm getting
errors saying there are missing $, } etc.. I'm attaching a sample file here
which has 2 lines of math text that gives me 15 errors. Please let me know what
needs to be done to correct this (if it can be corrected by the user..)
The problem was in the second equation on the first line. To solve it I 
simply rewrote it (see attached file) --- I'm assuming you didn't want 
the right parenthasis in bold.

 This kind of problem happens to me from time to time in lyx 
(mysterious errors which are solved by rewrting a small section).

In this case it might be the \mathrm in your equation which then 
includes \mathbf (maybe you pressed C-m by mistake within the equation?).

I should add however, that when I deleted by hand the \mathrm and its 
appropriate {} (second attached file), in the exported LaTeX file, 
running Latex on it gave me no problems but importing it back did give 
me problems

I Hope this helps,

Amir.
