They claim to be warning: they simply mean that there does not exist
a converter file in the styles dir, here
/usr/local/share/lib/latex2html/styles/
Most of the layout stuff does not mean
anything in html, so I ignore these most of the time, the
commands in html.sty allow to deal separately with typography
and WWW layout from the latex source.

There is a TEMPLATE.perl in the dir, seems dedicated to language
conversion, but I guess you may write any converter with a minimum
perl knowledge if you need it e.g. for your local .sty.

Hi Herbert.. I did the above and this is what happens:

1. latex file.tex has problems determining the size of the graphics
2. I ignored the above and did the rest as you said..
3. the final output dvi file has all the citations and references.. no
problem.. only the graphics are missing.. but references are all OK..

So is this a LyX problem then? Or does it have something to do with the
LyX configuration? Is there a way of reconfiguring it so that it goes
back to the default?

Talk about (my own) ignorance(!)...  I just tried your suggested \mathrm{}
and the whole issue of "normal looking" letters is gone...  :-

Getting non-italicized letters always seemed to be a pain, and chemical
symbols are not italicized.  Since I come into LyX and LaTeX as a former
Windows/OS2 chemist, knowing how to accomplish what probably seems like
simple tasks to others has always been a steep curve for me.

Is this the sort of thing Lamport's book would clarify??

Thanks very much, Paul!

Not sure if this is known (for some reason, I don't see the response from 
John Levon to which you responded), but whereas your original sequence 
results in a setting CH in textrm, with the subscript inside the textrm 
braces (apparently verboten in LaTeX), you get the same result using 
mathrm (i.e., \mathrm{CH_4} rather than \textrm{CH_4}), and the latter is 
apparently valid LaTeX.  So the next question, to which I lack an answer, 
is whether there's a key binding/command in math mode for mathrm.  

I'm also curious why C-m A-m m toggles between normal math font and 
textrm, rather than using mathrm.  Is this because the user might not 
have mathrm (lack of the right AMS package or something)?

If this has always been the case, then some magic was working in 1.2.x which
is no longer there in 1.3.x.  The code has changed, since the sequences I
pointed out in my origianl post have always worked for me before now.

Regarding your question to Andre', I'd reiterate as well the earlier
sequence of strokes which allowed me to first place my letters (in textrm, I
guess), followed by inserting other (apparently verboten) characters in the
middle of that sequence.  The old code must have accomodated my ignorance of
the rules...

I'm not saying I can't live without it, but for a person entering formulae
like I do that sort of sequence is a real saver of keystrokes.

You really don't need to use it.
To insert a wide figure in LyX < 1.3.0, use
Insert->Float->Wide figure
In LyX >= 1.3.0, you do (as written by I Wayan Warmada)
Insert->Float->Figure, then open the dialog and select the "span columns"
button.

yes, you are right. There is an error if you used float figure. The
package can not combine with float because it will break the 2 column mode
into one-column exactly after the command \begin{strip}, which mean the
picture should be exactly in this location. The float can not be used in
such situation (IMHO). Use non-float figure, instead.

Otherwise, try to use widefigure-float, but sometime it is not better than

I hope this comment didn't bother people (I don't knpow how someone may
interpret it on retrospection). I have checked the archive and see nothing
obviously related to what I have found...

Some additional information: if I try the sequence below at the beginning
of a document, it flat out fails with 6 errors about things like missing }'s
and so on.  Is there a way to log these errors (since I can't seem to copy

Has the input for math changed that much from 1.2.x ?  I have noticed that 
C-m A-m m CH  _4
works OK.

Sorry to come back to this point again, but python not installed 
is a good reason for conversion script error, up to my experience.

line spaceing problem

2003-04-02 Thread Marcin Bukat
Hello!
I felt in such problem:
document is article class
page style is fancy
font size is set to 12pt
paper is A4 with 'users' margins
TOP 2cm
BOTTOM 1cm
LEFT and RIGHT both 2cm
one column, single side printing

Now if I set single line spaceing everything is correct but if I try to 
set somethin else the output document has broken formating. Bottom 
margin is diffrent when footnote is present. There are also strange page 
breaks.
I tryed setting single spaceing and then adding \linespread {1.6} in 
latex preamble, but this affects also footnotes (look ugly with double 
spaceing). I compared documments with single and double lyx spceing - 
the only one difference is \spaceing directive.
any hints?

I mean a float figure (red box) environment. Similar with inserting normal
float figure. Just put the cursor anywhere over the box then click right
mouse, you will get a dialogbox).

for stools package, have a look:

download all the *.sty and you can put in $texmf directory which latex can

don't use multicol. You can do 2 possible way, i.e:

insert a widefigure,
Insert->Float->Figure

in the float window, klick right mouse then click the box of Spalten
ueberspannen (left below), I don't know in english UI (maybe wide
overcolumn or something like that).

the float figure will be accross the column...

the second possibility is using sttools packages... (the best way as I
remember).

in preamble:
\usepackage{flushend,cuted}

in the text (as ERT)

\begin{strip}

your figure

\end{strip}

Hello Piotr.
I believe that you have found a bug in the xforms GUI library which is 
triggered when attempting to rotate grayscale images by 90degree multiples. 
If you have the xforms source code, then the crash is fixed by the attached 
patch. I have submitted this patch to xforms.

If you cannot patch the xforms source, then the available workarounds are:
1. Rotate the image outside of LyX and load that.
2. Use the Qt frontend ;-)

lyx crash during image loading or manipulating

2003-04-02 Thread Piotr A. Dybczyński

Hello,

Lyx is GREAT, but...

after I have switched from lyx 1.2.2 to 1.3.1 I cannot display in Lyx some of
my old lyx files.

Lyx crashes when loading (after successfully converted) some *.ps graphics
files. Sometimes such files are shown correctly but any attempt to rotate the
image causes imediately lyx crash. The example of debug output when crashing
during image display is shown below:

[...]
Converting it to ppm format.
Temporary file `/tmp/lyx_tmpdir322178VMqe/b_dens32215uJsDZ' created.

Image loading succeeded.

lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. Please read the bug-reporting instructions
in Help->Introduction and send us a bug report, if necessary. Thanks !

I tried to convert the image manually, the *.ppm file loads into lyx correctly
but an attempt to rotate it results in crash as well.

Both lyx 1.2.2 and 1.3.1 compiled locally from *.tgz with the same xforms 1.0
on Debian 3.0 r1.

Any suggestions to correct this?

Thanks in advance,

Piotr

Re: Screen fonts

Guido Ostkamp wrote:
Hi group,

I am new to Lyx. While reading through the Customization Guide, I found
that the screen fonts could be changed to scalable fonts. The suggested
"Utopia" font works fine here as serif-font.
However, is there a suggestion for a sans-serif scalable font?

I found something in my list called
"-b&h-lucidux sans-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15" - the name
and attributes sound like a scalable sans-serif font, but if I enter that
as font name, it doesn't work.
Any hints?

Hint: Use the qt Version, if you can and use TrueType fonts. I use it on 
 Debian Linux with great joy and it looks terribly good.

The first choice would be to use the available standard truetype fonts 
by microsoft (Times New Roman, Arial, etc...)

Have a look (please don't comment on the kermamik window and gadget

Firstly, I would like to thank to LyX-developer and users for helping me
to solve the problems in using LyX (I could not write the name one by
one). I have just submitted my dissertation to the faculty for defence in
a few months. It couldn't be done without a nice LyX and your help.
Thanks!

Secondly, I would like to thank to Kathryn. Your website about LyX-DTP is
inspiring me to write an article about "LyX/LaTeX as Desktop Publishing
(DTP) application" (in Indonesian...:)), which I have submitted to one of
Indonesian Linux magazine. The screenshot can be seen here:

http://warmada.pandu.org/TextProc/lyx/DTP/

I didn't write any layout (sorry!). Actually, I want to write a layout for
making a visiting card, but I still have no idea about how to write a
layout. I hope I can do it in a few month after coming back in Indonesia.
