Re: toggled printing for instructor version

Yes, this was a typo. Sorry.
I am not sure if it is possible, but it would be great if I could make it
smarter so the blank space could be done at the bottom of the page. Right
now, I use \invisible for my instructor notes, so the student's handouts
now have random white space. Hmmm... even though it looks strange, maybe
this is okay, since they can use that space to take hand-written notes.
At the bottom of each page? That is difficult. You can try to set the contents
into a minipage into a float with b[ottom] placement. I don't know if that
method is save though. And the number of floats is limited:
\usepackage{ifthen}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\usepackage[dvips]{color}}
\newboolean{HIDE}
\newcommand\invisible
{\ifthenelse{\boolean{HIDE}}{%
\begin{figure}[b]%
\begin{minipage}[c]{1.0\columnwidth}%
\color{white}
}{}}
\newcommand\visible
{\ifthenelse{\boolean{HIDE}}{%
\end{minipage}%
\end{figure}
\color{black}
}{}}
Perhaps there are better solutions.
If you just want to comment out the contents, use the comment-environment:
\usepackage{ifthen}
\newboolean{HIDE}
\newcommand\invisible
{\ifthenelse{\boolean{HIDE}}{%
\begin{comment}}{}}
\newcommand\visible
{\ifthenelse{\boolean{HIDE}}{%
\end{comment}}{}}
Also, it would be cool if the content could be highlighted and there was a
button to toggle \invisible on and off.
What do you mean by highlighted? You can certainly use any emphasizing method
and color or, if you want highlighted background, the soul package.
A gui element (button) for this is overloaded IMHO. It's not too difficult to
toggle the HIDE switch manually.

Re: How to edit LaTeX math in LyX?

Like what?
Something indicating that you have not switched on AMS support?
[Layout-Document-Extra-Use_AMS]
It seems I will have little choice but to learn LaTeX math editing in
depth, which I had hope to avoid by using LyX.
Can someone give me a step-by-step instruction on how to enter an
equation in LyX using LaTex code that doesn't give errors?
You can type the formula as you did, mark it and press C-m.
From there I will go about learning LaTeX to get the effects I want.
But at this point there is something I don't understand about getting LyX
to digest it in the first place.
I thought you said it actually shows what you want?
In other words, do you go into math mode, or type in ERT mode?
Math mode for ordinary math.
In math mode, the above code turns into LyX WYSIWYM math editing. This
is a problem because it is then impossible to see the text LateX code
underneath.
What does Export as LaTeX yield?
Clues as to what is going on would be appreciated.
Finally, can \usepackage{amsmath} be used in LyX?
Sure.

The parantheses on screen are 'hand drawn'. There is no font involved.
3. Why are the subscript characters in a_b so low? Is that due to the

No. Something between a bug and a feature. It's easier to click at things
if there is a bit more space in some places and in this particular place it
would not be easy to remove the 'extra' space.

Both in one - Texmacs manages that, SWP does to some extend too! If LyX can look as good as SWP I am happy, but I do not see why LyX should not use the only thing where TexMacs works better?

Re: others like lyx?
Like what? ok, I'll make a list of all the things I've found myself wanting. To start off with, I'll say this: I've been using Lyx to compile a 20,000+ word design document for an electronic game. It's been pretty cool, but the large document size has (i believe) stressed some of the components of lyx a little. Things *I* would like to see: 1.- An integration of most of the tips and tricks listed on the website. Since someone has gone to the trouble of listing them,. they must be being used. therefore, why not include them in the lyx program, rather than have your users scurry around trying to hash together something? An example is the glossary. At the moment there seem to be two ways to get a glossary going: The first is to export to text, grep for all the capitalised words, and then make your own glossary yourself. Not only is this approach kludgey and time wasting, what happens if you have words which are NOT capitalised, but which you still want to include? searching through a 20,000 word document is not the answer i think. The other solution is to use the makeindex latex package. The trouble with this is that it forces the user to know about latex, which i don't. I'm pretty good with computers, and have done a bit of programming before, and have even *looked* at latex before, but making users learn latex in order to get a glossary going is a bit much i feel. Why not build the makeindex package into lyx, and have it done automatically? making a glossary is very similar to making a table of contents, and lyx seems to handle that just fine.. 2.- Not really sure about this one, but isn't it possible to do hyperlinks in PDF? why not have it so that lyx creates these hyperlinks when exporting documents to either HTML or PDF? The links should be footnotes and the chapter headings (as in: chapters link to the chapter headings in the document, so users can click in the table of contents and be sent to the correct part in the body of the document). 3.- Spellchecker. A replace all button would be nice. Also, I've noticed that LyX doesn't use the proper (aspell) dictionaries on my Debian Sid box, even after playing with it for a good hour or so. 4.- Table sorting. I've brought this up here before, but I may as well do it again. I feel that this feature is vital. I have (in my document) tables with 300+ rows, and i have to be able to sort them. AT the moment I'm copying them to a text file, and sorting them with a python script, and then pasting them back into lyx. As i said before, this is pretty silly... 5.- Users *should* be able to fine tune *all* the details about the typesetting. Boxing users in so they can only use what *you* think is good type setting is (IMHO) plain silly. I personally can't find any styles in the pretty small style list which exactly matches the style i need. I should be able to set everything, like the whitespace above and below titles, whether chapters/sections/subsections start on a new page, whether tables are set out on a seperate page, and a whole lot more. Again, forcing users to use *your* style of typesetting just makes users unhappy with the results. 6.- Also, I have never been able to get the QT frontend to compile with lyx. I'm using the very latest QT libraries, and update my system regurally, but still i run into errors. Most of the time it's can't find QT libraries, even though I've specified where the libraries are. Is this me? or lyx? either way, perhaps some documentation in the source package should say what the magic trick is to get this going. 7.- I'm sure there was something else as well, but i can't remember it right now... I realise that people get very defencive about software they have worked on, and I really don't mean to cause any offence, but 1,45 are pretty vital features to me. What do you guys think? AFAIK they should all be able to be added without too much work (not that I've actually looked at the code myself, i don't have the experience, or the know-how). Well, i hope something good comes of this ;) Thanks for listening/reading, Thomi. -- Thomi Richards, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

problems with my document and prettyref dropped to the bottom of priorities.
I checked and I do have the prettyref sty file and Lyx does recognize it. The
problem is somewhere else.

Re: others like lyx?
Sure. So please go searching. I think the basic misunderstanding here is the fact that the lyx docs and the developers have been trying to plug Lyx to a larger audience than it's really suitable for. Lyx is a perfect tool, but not for all the people it's creators claim it to be perfect for. One can only put Lyx to its fullest use if one knows Latex. And not just a little bit, but knows it pretty well. Then Lyx will take over the more routine tasks and leave the person to worry about the more subtle aspects. By subtle I mean the tips and tricks and stuff, tweaking this and that to be just as you want it and using the more complex and powerful features effectively. So one could look at it one of two ways. 1) Lyx is a great learning tool for Latex, an intermediary step for somebody who intends to eventually learn it but needs something to carry them through the transition. 2) Lyx is a tool for Latex users, meant to streamline their work and save time. The problem with issue number 5 in the initial post, is that it's not clear if it would even be possible or even desirable. It would mean creating a graphical user interface for the whole of Latex. That seems like a pretty major undertaking, and not likely to get done soon. If you want the full power of Latex it seems like there's no way out but to use Latex. I think the fundamental problem is the fact that document editing is in itself a very complex problem with no simple solution. For me, for right now, for example, what I can get out of Lyx alone, with no knowledge of Latex, is approximate, but it's OK. If I were to start writing tons of articles or 3 word documents, I would save myself the nervous breakdowns by taking a few weeks/months to get Latex down and then just ride the Lyx wave. As for the tables and the hyperlinks, I agree with the initial post. Alex. PS. And it's all meant as constructive criticism. I am a Lyx user, so what's good for Lyx is good for me.

I thought you said it actually shows what you want?
It is close to what I want, but not quite. I don't think the above code
is really what I want to solve my problem, but was more of an experiment
just to try using someone's suggestion.
My main problem is that I want to enter a system of equations with a
left curly brace delimiter. There are four equations, which contain
fractional expressions.
The two approaches I have tried so far don't work well, which is to use
an array, which uses a smaller font for the fractional expressions, or
by using \displaysize, then the fractional expressions are the size I
want, but the spacing between rows of the array is too tight, so the
fractions overlap.
At this point, I don't know how to get this right without learning much
more about LaTeX, and how LyX works with LaTeX code in math mode. There
doesn't seem to be a way to get it right directly with the math panel,
without resorting to LaTeX code tweaks.
Thanks for your input!

Try again: Paste that code into the main LyX text - including the \[ and

A good way for me is using gnumeric for tables. Edit your Tables with gnumeric, sorting and calculating should be no problem at all. Mark and copy the cells you want to appear in lyx. Paste this into al lyx Table which has the number of rows and colums needed. 6.- Also, I have never been able to get the QT frontend to compile with lyx. I'm using the very latest QT libraries, and update my system regurally, but still i run into errors. Most of the time it's can't find QT libraries, even though I've specified where the libraries are.

2. LaTeX Error: \mathbf allowed only in math mode.

If that doesn't work, type X return to quit.
You did mean include the command anywhere in the main body right?

Aah.. OK, did that.. now both the solutions compile fine but I still
don't see a difference in the greek letters that should be in bold..
am I missing something?
Thanks,

Re: bold greek letters
Thanks a lot Angus.. I see now..:-) I can use this from now on but is there any good way of converting all the bold greeks (by bold greeks I mean those entered with a C-b and then the greek letter) that I currently have in my document to these macros without editing all of them? There are just too many and I'm bound to miss a few if I manually edit them.. Thanks, nirmal Try the example attached. -- Angus
copy-and-paste and preserve Lyx attributes
Is there a way to select Lyx content (such as several lines of bullet lists and subsections) and copy to a buffer and then paste while preserving those attributes? Right now, when I copy Itemize lists and paste, then I have to select all of it, change to Itemize and then manually remove all the asterisks. It is becoming quite time consuming to copy and paste and move a lot of sections from different documents because I lose all the attributes. My workaround is to save just the content I need and then Insert - Insert File - Lyx Document But that takes a long time since I have to type in file names, chop out un-nneded content, and do this many times. Any ideas? I am using LyX Version 1.1.6fix5 (installed via NetBSD pkgsrc). If this is in the documentation, please point me to it. Thank you, Jeremy C. Reed http://bsd.reedmedia.net/

At my usual resolution (1800x1200 on a 21 screen), the current icons are so small that they're pretty much indistinguishable blobs. Even when I enlarge them, very few are actually intuitive to me: I have no clue at all as to what functions most are supposed to do. For instance, it's much, much easier for me to read the word Print, than to try to figure out that some tiny squiggles are supposed to be a picture of an old-fashioned dot-matrix printer with paper sticking out, and that that corresponds to the print function.

Re: prosper and lyx 1.3.2
Thank you very much!
I did the PPRenglish.sty - PPRdefault.sty symlink and most of the
errors disappeared :) Funny that google has 0 occurrences of
PPRenglish.sty!
When I create a file with only a title in it as before I only get this
error now.
1) Undefined control sequence.
\title{hello}\maketitle
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
You mentioned that the layout doesn't have subtitle or email. Does
it have title? Also how did you define them in the preamble please?
Have you modified prosper.layout? Mine has an md5sum of
8cebb3e0a8605f81916dfee4a32ff82e :)
Cheers,
Raphael

Hi all,

Yes, it seems like prettyref has been excluded from teTeX 2 (some packages
have been excluded due to licensing issues).
Where do I find this package exactly and how do I install it?
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/prettyref/
run latex on prettyref.ins (actual package) and prettyref.dtx
(documentation) and install the generated prettyref.sty somewhere under
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/
You have to run texhash as root in a console after that.
HTH,

Dear Jürgen,
Thank you for helping me!!
I am sorry, but the next trial ended with:
Package varioref Error: \vref at page boundary 43-45 (may loop).
Abschnitt \vref{sec:crossref}
).Einen Verweis fügen sie wie gewohnt
Please check the page in question. You might need to peplace the \vref
or \vpageref by a normal \(page)ref to stop LaTeX running forever.
I cannot find varioref or \vref on my system.
Would you be so kind helping me once more?

Basically, the above code works as ERT, but not if it is pasted into a

Try again: Paste that code into the main LyX text - including the \[ and
the \]. Mark it - including \[ and \]. Press C-m.
What happens?
Interesting.
If I paste the code, then select and C-m, it works.
If I C-m and then paste the code, I get errors.
I have noticed that I cannot use X to cut and paste the text from the

Thanks for the input.
