Re: Converting a LyX document to a SINGLE tex file
Thanks Andre and Dekel for your responses.. > Does the conference allows using jpg/pdf figures ? > If they only allow EPS figures, you should convert your figures to EPS They basically want just one .tex file which should have everything in it.. so all the figures should be in there using the filecontents environment.. and turns out that it has to be eps for filecontents to work.. I managed to get the eps files that LyX/convert creates from the jpg files by unchecking the option to use the tmp directory in the preferences. So I then included these in the filecontents environment. Doesn't look like filecontents accepts pdf or jpeg.. nirmal
Changing Table Output
I posted this message to the lyx-devel group, but have gotten no response. I'm guessing from the lack of response, it was the wrong list to send to. If this is (again) the wrong mailing list, please point me toward a more appropriate list. I have recently started working with lyx and wanted to try some customizations. I am using the '(SGML) linuxdoc article' layout for my document and I am outputting it to html. I like the way that this layout looks once converted, but I am having problems with tables. First, the tables end up looking (something) like this: ++---+Data|Data ++---+Data|Data ++---+Data|Data ++---+Data|Data I'm not sure how to fix that. Secondly, I would like to output actual HTML tables instead of ASCII tables. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, -- Jason L W Lynn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I don't think this is possible.
I guess you'd need to create some kind of external script that merges a
.tex as exported from LyX with your figures to a new file.

I'd expect .pdf to work out-of-the-box but .jpg to break.

They are in some /tmp/lyx_tmpdirX directory.

Converting a LyX document to a SINGLE tex file
Hi.. I need to submit a paper for a conference that accepts Latex files.
But they require a single .tex file, i.e. the figures, bibliography
etc. all have to be incorporated into that .tex file using the
filecontents* environment. I'm having a few problems with this:
1. From the instructions given, I'm supposed to put
\begin{filecontents*}{myfigure.eps}
\end{filecontents*}
for all my figures (assuming that the real eps file is in my current
directory). These commands need to go before the \documentclass. How do
I enter ERT in LyX so that it goes before the \documentclass in the .tex
file? I'd rather do this than edit the .tex file manually cos then I
just need to have the LyX file up to date when I make changes..
2. I have several .jpg figures and one .pdf figure in my paper. Does
filecontents* work with jpg/pdf files too? If not, is there any similar
environment for jpg/pdf files? If not, would it be possible to get LyX
to output (to the current directory) the converted ps/eps files that are
generated when I ask for a Postscript output? I can't seem to find these
files when I do a View -> Postscript. If this is possible then I
would'nt have to do the conversion manually...
3. I need to use the filecontents* environment to include the .bbl file.
I do not see a .bbl file in my directory though I see all my references
in the final pdf doc generated using pdflatex. I had a .bbl file for the
earlier version of this paper but it isn't being generated again after
I deleted that .bbl file (cos the filename changed).
Any help on these would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
nirmal

Hello > Any ideas out there? I am writing a proposal, and I need all the space > I can get! floatflt is a bit tricky to use. If there is not enough ordinary text, the used algorithm fails and the figures are dropped. Try to place the figures a page earlier or so. Or try do change the size of your floatflt. I take "%line" and size the pic 3 to 5 % smaller than the whole float. If you have to many pics or if they're to close to the end of the page they won't be printed. So eather change the size or the placement. I think the latex options "hbp!" don't work with this option. Holger

Sounds like a version of MacOS before 10.2, or a very early (and obsolete) version of the binary. The Qt library on which the LyX on Aqua port is based doesn't work with pre-Jaguar versions of MacOSX. Sorry. -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com
