\textsuperscript itself is not directly supported. 
Insert-Special Character-Superscript uses math mode to produce superscript. 
If you use amsmath (Layout-Document-Packages) then the superscripted text 
is smaller (which looks quite similar to \textsuperscript).
Personally, I prefer ERT and \textsuperscript.

\textsuperscript _always_ uses the mathmode. But in difference
to LyX it recognizes the actual fontsize to make the
superscript text smaller. The solution from LyX looks

problem with math display after recompiling

[Nirmal Govind]

Hi... I just recompiled Qt 3.1.2 and then lyx 1.3.2 with gcc 3.3 .. 
everything went fine with the compile.. but when I open a document (which
looked fine before), the math symbols are all in ERT... any ideas on why
the recompile should affect this? (I was using lyx 1.3.2 with Qt 3.1.2,
both compiled with gcc 3.1 I think and I did not have this problem)

This is what I see on the console when I open the document:

unusual contents found: [char d mathalpha][char e mathalpha][char n
mathalpha][char o mathalpha][char t mathalpha][char e mathalpha][char d
mathalpha][char   mathalpha][char b mathalpha][char y mathalpha]

Thanks,

Hello,

the qt version of lyx-1.3.2 is linked against qt-2.2.1. Most 
distributions provide packages with
older libraries that are not installed with the default installation. 
Since I am not familiar with
current Mandrake distributions I cannot tell you the name of the package 
that you have to install.
Just look for qt2*rpm and install those rpms.

Once you install the older qt-version - which is installed in parallel t 
o qt3*- lyx-1.3.2 will run just fine
under KDE 3.1.

Download the .src.rpm and do rpmbuild on it. Qt 3 works fine with lyx

Re: Itemizations

[Rajil Saraswat]

You would want to read section 3.4.5 of the Users guide for nesting examples.  
Here is a short example

1. Change to Itemize
2. Write your text and press Shift+Meta(ALT Key)+Right Arrow. 
3. You will be on second level. Type second level text. Use Meta+Return Key to 
remains on the same level.
4. Press just Return Key to return to the first level.

In brief Shift+Meta(ALT Key)+Right Arrow increases the level and Shift+Meta
(ALT Key)+Left Arrow decrease thes level.

Hope this helps.

Copy your file to temp.lyx and delete all text until

Re: alternative to \textsuperscript ?

\textsuperscript itself is not directly supported. 
Insert->Special Character->Superscript uses math mode to produce superscript. 
If you use amsmath (Layout->Document->Packages) then the superscripted text 
is smaller (which looks quite similar to \textsuperscript).
Personally, I prefer ERT and \textsuperscript.

\textsuperscript _always_ uses the mathmode. But in difference
to LyX it recognizes the actual fontsize to make the
superscript text smaller. The solution from LyX looks
ugly and is from my point of view a bug!

problem with math display after recompiling

[Nirmal Govind]

Hi... I just recompiled Qt 3.1.2 and then lyx 1.3.2 with gcc 3.3 .. 
everything went fine with the compile.. but when I open a document (which
looked fine before), the math symbols are all in ERT... any ideas on why
the recompile should affect this? (I was using lyx 1.3.2 with Qt 3.1.2,
both compiled with gcc 3.1 I think and I did not have this problem)

This is what I see on the console when I open the document:

unusual contents found: [char d mathalpha][char e mathalpha][char n
mathalpha][char o mathalpha][char t mathalpha][char e mathalpha][char d
mathalpha][char   mathalpha][char b mathalpha][char y mathalpha]

Thanks,

Hello,

the qt version of lyx-1.3.2 is linked against qt-2.2.1. Most 
distributions provide packages with
older libraries that are not installed with the default installation. 
Since I am not familiar with
current Mandrake distributions I cannot tell you the name of the package 
that you have to install.
Just look for qt2*rpm and install those rpms.

Once you install the older qt-version - which is installed in parallel t 
o qt3*- lyx-1.3.2 will run just fine
under KDE 3.1.

Whoever built the mandrake RPM built it against Qt 2.2.1 for some
reason. *shrug*

Download the .src.rpm and do rpmbuild on it. Qt 3 works fine with lyx

Itemizations

[Markus Amersdorfer]

Hi everyone!

Using LyX 1.3.2, how can I add additional text to a first-level
"Itemization"-item AFTER some second-level items?

Example:

  * First-level Item 
Some text.

- Second Level Item 1
- Second Level Item 2

I CAN'T figure out how to ADD THIS LINE.

  * [...]

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Max

Re: Itemizations

[Rajil Saraswat]

You would want to read section 3.4.5 of the Users guide for nesting examples.  
Here is a short example

1. Change to Itemize
2. Write your text and press Shift+Meta(ALT Key)+Right Arrow. 
3. You will be on second level. Type second level text. Use Meta+Return Key to 
remains on the same level.
4. Press just Return Key to return to the first level.

In brief Shift+Meta(ALT Key)+Right Arrow increases the level and Shift+Meta
(ALT Key)+Left Arrow decrease thes level.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

a simple solution would be to use the standard-environment on

  * First-level Item 
Some text.
- Second Level Item 1
- Second Level Item 2
the following line and then indent it the usual way.
I CAN'T figure out how to ADD THIS LINE.
the next line is the first level itemization again.

This might not be an elegant latex-solution, but it worked for me for a 
similar problem.

Good luck,

Re: Lyx only runs latex once

[Gareth Jenkins]

I seem to have fixed it now. I deleted my preferences file such that the 
original defaults where used and everything worked as it should.
Under Edit->Preferences->converters, the Latex->DVI converter has 
"latex" in the Extra flag box. I'm not sure what this does exactly but 
latex and bibtex are all run correctly.
Either my old preferences, (preserved from the previous version), got 
mangled when I upgraded or I accidentally deleted it somehow!
Thanks
