Thanks!
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. Best Regards and keep a nice work, I Wayan Warmada [http://warmada.pandu.org]

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 ;-)

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

Importing old Lyx files
Hi, I'm triyng to import a Lyx 1.2 document into my 1.3.1 version, using both the lyx document itself or the TeX exported document. I get a message saying there is a conversion script execution error, but nothing else. This document is a big rotated table only. Can someone help. Thanks E. Guevara
line spaceing problem
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?

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
this package.

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 the text out of the boxes)?
Has the input for math changed that much from 1.2.x ? I have
noticed that
C-m A-m m CH rightarrow _4
works OK.
Subscripts are not allowed inside textrm. Andre, how hard would it be
to
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.
make sub/superscript at the end of a text region exit the textrm
environment first ? And also disable sub/super in the middle ?
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.
Kenward
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)?

export the lyx file to latex and try to run it by yourself. latex file.tex latex file.tex bibtex file makeindex file latex file.tex latex file.tex what happens? 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? nirmal

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!).

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 ;-)

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

Importing old Lyx files
Hi, I'm triyng to import a Lyx 1.2 document into my 1.3.1 version, using both the lyx document itself or the TeX exported document. I get a message saying there is a conversion script execution error, but nothing else. This document is a big rotated table only. Can someone help. Thanks E. Guevara
line spaceing problem
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?

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
this package.

missing bibliography!
Hi.. I'm running into problems with my bibliography and citations... they aren't showing up in the final output.. this file used to run fine earlier (in the previous 1.2.* versions of Lyx) so I don't know if something has changed in 1.3.1 that could cause this.. I'm using the Qt frontend.. I'm attaching the log below... I can't find any mention of the included bib files for some reason...

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)?

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? nirmal

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).

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.

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 ;-)

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}

Importing old Lyx files
Hi, I'm triyng to import a Lyx 1.2 document into my 1.3.1 version, using both the lyx document itself or the TeX exported document. I get a message saying there is a conversion script execution error, but nothing else. This document is a big rotated table only. Can someone help. Thanks E. Guevara
line spaceing problem
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?

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
this package.

importing tex files into lyx with windows xp
I installed Lyx 1.3.0 with Cygwin under Windows XP home. Everything seems to be all right, but two things do not work: I cannot get the main manual and I cannot import tex files, that were working ok with MiKTeX. Is there anybody who can help me?

Andre, how hard would it be to 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.

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.

missing bibliography!
Hi.. I'm running into problems with my bibliography and citations... they aren't showing up in the final output.. this file used to run fine earlier (in the previous 1.2.* versions of Lyx) so I don't know if something has changed in 1.3.1 that could cause this..

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)?

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..

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. -- Jean-Pierre

Thanks Herbet... Yes, I guess ERT is the only way.. I tried soul and

highlight..
