 Nevertheless, anybody knows if this feature has already been

FYI: K. Benko sent me a LyX-only solution (without ERT):

It's possible to achieve the above mentioned layout by simply changing a
second level item from Itemize to Standard without changing the
indention level.
In contrast to a CTRL+ENTER, this creates a whole new paragraph
at the indention level without adding an itemization-mark. (CTRL+ENTER
only inserts kind of a 'newline'.)

Thanks again!

Doing mv ~/.qt ~/.qt.bad solved the problem; however all screen fonts

all :-(
But that's a minor problem.

 How do I find out from the Qt source whether it uses fontconfig or not?

$ ldd ${PATH_TO_THE_EXECUTABLE}/lyx

Here (using RH8) it gives:

$ ldd ./lyx-qt
[snip...]
libqt-mt.so.3 = /usr/lib/qt-3.0.5/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 (0x40024000)
libXft.so.2 = /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x40a07000)
libfontconfig.so.1 = /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0x40a1a000)

 Or is there a list that shows which versions use fontconfig and
 which don't?

This is a matter of the Linux distribution that you use. As I understand it, 
RH8 and above and Debian unstable are using fontconfig. Dunno about any 
others.

I found out more:

Calling qtconfig -- fonts there are two checkboxes:
  1) Enable Anti-Aliased Font Support (Xft)
  2) Anti-Alias Fonts by Default
Enabling them (and saving the config) corresponds to
  1) enableXft=true
  2) useXft=true
in ~/.qt/qtrc .

This changes the fonts available to qt-applications, since qt now uses 
Xft. Also the math fonts become visible to qt-applications, but not 
in lyx's math mode. So either lyx requests the wrong font from 
fontconfig, or fontconfig returns the wrong font.

The problem is actually with changes in the way QT uses for fonts between

Short titles

[Rich Shepard]

  To solve my problems with running heads (sometimes they print on two
lines, sometimes on a single, overlapping line) I decided to use short
titles. According to the Users Guide (version 1.3.2), I end up with short
titles not only on each page's running head but also in the Table of
Contents. Is there a LaTeX command that will print the long titles in the
ToC but leave the short titles in the running head?

TIA,

Re: tilde does not show in equations

[Amir Seginer]

Hello,

Paul E. Johnson wrote:
I use LyX 1.3.2 with the qt gui on RedHat 9.

I typed a paper and in the math equations I used the tilde from the 
keyboard. I mean, I used the tilde you get by hitting shift and pressing 
the key that says ~.  It is above the TAB on a US keyboard.
I was embarrassed/frustrated to learn during a presentation that the 
tildes did not appear in the printed output (or dvi) for that matter.   
The tilde does appear in output for regular text, just not in equations.
Since then, I have learned that there is a work around. 
As far as I know, ~ is a special character in  LaTeX. Lyx automaticaly 
substitutes ~ for the proper code that prints ~ in text mode, but not 
in math mode. If you want the symbol to appear in an equation you need 
to enter \sim or equivalently use the math panel.

The problem, in my opinion, is the wrong color of the symbol. It appears 
black in LyX's math mode, but should appear red (since it is latex 
code). I've sent a feature request about this (bug #590) some time ago.

Amir.

Hi,

I'm trying to create a BibTex database (bib) file with Endnote. The 
BibTex style isn't exactly what I like, so I change the key to 
Author:Year. However, Lyx, when importing such bib files, has trouble 
recognizing the entries. For example, the first entry has a key like this:

Abarbanel R. M. and Cohen F. E. and Kuntz I. D.:1987

But when I insert citations, this is the only available to select and 
the key is not properly displayed. Can anyone explain why and what is 
the best way to create bib files automatically? Thanks in advance.

Guanglei

Re: reference

[Gareth Jenkins]

I have found that endnote is very bad at generating decent citation keys 
which bibtex likes. In the example you give, the entire author field is 
used in the key, including spaces, commas and other things that bibtex 
doesn't like and there is no way to just use part of the author (or 
other fields).
You can either make keys based on fields which aren't likely to contain 
spaces, comas, etc. (such as year, page no. etc) or you can use another 
program to generate decent keys.
I believe there are some simple scripts available to do this but you may 
also want to check out a reference manager called sixpack. This can 
import endnote references, generate sensible citation keys and even 
insert them directly into lyx.
I haven't tried it under windows but it should work as long as you have 
pearl/tk. Take a look at http://www.santafe.edu/~dirk/sixpack/
Hope this helps!

at the indention level without adding an itemization-mark. (CTRL+ENTER
only inserts kind of a 'newline'.)

Thanks again!

Doing mv ~/.qt ~/.qt.bad solved the problem; however all screen fonts

But that's a minor problem.

 How do I find out from the Qt source whether it uses fontconfig or not?

$ ldd ${PATH_TO_THE_EXECUTABLE}/lyx

Here (using RH8) it gives:

$ ldd ./lyx-qt
[snip...]
libqt-mt.so.3 = /usr/lib/qt-3.0.5/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 (0x40024000)
libXft.so.2 = /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x40a07000)
libfontconfig.so.1 = /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0x40a1a000)

 Or is there a list that shows which versions use fontconfig and
 which don't?

This is a matter of the Linux distribution that you use. As I understand it, 
RH8 and above and Debian unstable are using fontconfig. Dunno about any 
others.

 It's a Qt problem: Iteratively removing all dotfiles I found that

I found out more:

Calling qtconfig -- fonts there are two checkboxes:
  1) Enable Anti-Aliased Font Support (Xft)
  2) Anti-Alias Fonts by Default
Enabling them (and saving the config) corresponds to
  1) enableXft=true
  2) useXft=true
in ~/.qt/qtrc .

This changes the fonts available to qt-applications, since qt now uses 
Xft. Also the math fonts become visible to qt-applications, but not 
in lyx's math mode. So either lyx requests the wrong font from 
fontconfig, or fontconfig returns the wrong font.

Short titles

[Rich Shepard]

  To solve my problems with running heads (sometimes they print on two
lines, sometimes on a single, overlapping line) I decided to use short
titles. According to the Users Guide (version 1.3.2), I end up with short
titles not only on each page's running head but also in the Table of
Contents. Is there a LaTeX command that will print the long titles in the
ToC but leave the short titles in the running head?

TIA,

Re: tilde does not show in equations

[Amir Seginer]

Hello,

Paul E. Johnson wrote:
I use LyX 1.3.2 with the qt gui on RedHat 9.

I typed a paper and in the math equations I used the tilde from the 
keyboard. I mean, I used the tilde you get by hitting shift and pressing 
the key that says ~.  It is above the TAB on a US keyboard.
I was embarrassed/frustrated to learn during a presentation that the 
tildes did not appear in the printed output (or dvi) for that matter.   
The tilde does appear in output for regular text, just not in equations.
Since then, I have learned that there is a work around. 
As far as I know, ~ is a special character in  LaTeX. Lyx automaticaly 
substitutes ~ for the proper code that prints ~ in text mode, but not 
in math mode. If you want the symbol to appear in an equation you need 
to enter \sim or equivalently use the math panel.

The problem, in my opinion, is the wrong color of the symbol. It appears 
black in LyX's math mode, but should appear red (since it is latex 
code). I've sent a feature request about this (bug #590) some time ago.

Amir.

Hi,

I'm trying to create a BibTex database (bib) file with Endnote. The 
BibTex style isn't exactly what I like, so I change the key to 
Author:Year. However, Lyx, when importing such bib files, has trouble 
recognizing the entries. For example, the first entry has a key like this:

Abarbanel R. M. and Cohen F. E. and Kuntz I. D.:1987

But when I insert citations, this is the only available to select and 
the key is not properly displayed. Can anyone explain why and what is 
the best way to create bib files automatically? Thanks in advance.

Guanglei

Re: reference

[Gareth Jenkins]

I have found that endnote is very bad at generating decent citation keys 
which bibtex likes. In the example you give, the entire author field is 
used in the key, including spaces, commas and other things that bibtex 
doesn't like and there is no way to just use part of the author (or 
other fields).
You can either make keys based on fields which aren't likely to contain 
spaces, comas, etc. (such as year, page no. etc) or you can use another 
program to generate decent keys.
I believe there are some simple scripts available to do this but you may 
also want to check out a reference manager called sixpack. This can 
import endnote references, generate sensible citation keys and even 
insert them directly into lyx.
I haven't tried it under windows but it should work as long as you have 
pearl/tk. Take a look at http://www.santafe.edu/~dirk/sixpack/
Hope this helps!

FYI: K. Benko sent me a LyX-only solution (without ERT):

It's possible to achieve the above mentioned layout by simply changing a
second level item from "Itemize" to "Standard" without changing the
indention level.
In contrast to a "CTRL+ENTER", this creates a whole new paragraph
at the indention level without adding an itemization-mark. ("CTRL+ENTER"
"only" inserts kind of a 'newline'.)

Thanks again!

It's a Qt problem: Iteratively removing all dotfiles I found that
~/.qt/qtrc
was causing the trouble. It contained the following
---
[General]
embedFonts=true
 
[customColors]
0=-1
1=-1
10=-1
11=-1
12=-1
13=-1
14=-1
15=-1
2=-1
3=-1
4=-1
5=-1
6=-1
7=-1
8=-1
9=-1
---
Doing mv ~/.qt ~/.qt.bad solved the problem; however all screen fonts 
look very pixelized now, some are no more visible to applications at 
all :-(
But that's a minor problem.

Thanks, Johannes

$ ldd ${PATH_TO_THE_EXECUTABLE}/lyx

Here (using RH8) it gives:

$ ldd ./lyx-qt
[snip...]
libqt-mt.so.3 => /usr/lib/qt-3.0.5/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 (0x40024000)

This is a matter of the Linux distribution that you use. As I understand it, 
RH8 and above and Debian unstable are using fontconfig. Dunno about any 
others.

I found out more:

Calling qtconfig --> fonts there are two checkboxes:
  1) Enable Anti-Aliased Font Support (Xft)
  2) Anti-Alias Fonts by Default
Enabling them (and saving the config) corresponds to
  1) enableXft=true
  2) useXft=true
in ~/.qt/qtrc .

This changes the fonts available to qt-applications, since qt now uses 
Xft. Also the math fonts become visible to qt-applications, but not 
in lyx's math mode. So either lyx requests the wrong font from 
fontconfig, or fontconfig returns the wrong font.

The problem is actually with changes in the way QT uses for fonts between
QT-3.1 and QT-3.2.
The problem is fixed in CVS. You can try the following patch for 1.3.x
(and restore the old ~/.qt/qtrc)

At last i found the problem! The first item in the list has bold style. LyX 
traslate in the tex file the \setlength command inside the \textbf , and 
then, the spacing was unchanged

You need to learn more about LaTeX (read for example lshort.dvi file in
your TeX distribution) and then extend the layout according to the
chapter 5 of ``Customizing LyX: Features for the Advanced User''
(Help/Customization in LyX).

Short titles

[Rich Shepard]

  To solve my problems with running heads (sometimes they print on two
lines, sometimes on a single, overlapping line) I decided to use short
titles. According to the Users Guide (version 1.3.2), I end up with short
titles not only on each page's running head but also in the Table of
Contents. Is there a LaTeX command that will print the long titles in the
ToC but leave the short titles in the running head?

TIA,

Rich

Re: tilde does not show in equations

[Amir Seginer]

Hello,

Paul E. Johnson wrote:
I use LyX 1.3.2 with the qt gui on RedHat 9.

I typed a paper and in the math equations I used the tilde from the 
keyboard. I mean, I used the tilde you get by hitting shift and pressing 
the key that says ~.  It is above the TAB on a US keyboard.
I was embarrassed/frustrated to learn during a presentation that the 
tildes did not appear in the printed output (or dvi) for that matter.   
The tilde does appear in output for regular text, just not in equations.
Since then, I have learned that there is a work around. 
As far as I know, "~" is a special character in  LaTeX. Lyx automaticaly 
substitutes ~ for the proper code that prints "~" in text mode, but not 
in math mode. If you want the symbol to appear in an equation you need 
to enter "\sim" or equivalently use the math panel.

The problem, in my opinion, is the wrong color of the symbol. It appears 
black in LyX's math mode, but should appear red (since it is latex 
code). I've sent a feature request about this (bug #590) some time ago.

Amir.

Current CVS has "Print" as the default. It's not been back-ported to
1.3.3cvs though (yet ?)

Hi,

I'm trying to create a BibTex database (bib) file with Endnote. The 
BibTex style isn't exactly what I like, so I change the key to 
"Author:Year". However, Lyx, when importing such bib files, has trouble 
recognizing the entries. For example, the first entry has a key like this:

Abarbanel R. M. and Cohen F. E. and Kuntz I. D.:1987

But when I insert citations, this is the only "available" to select and 
the key is not properly displayed. Can anyone explain why and what is 
the best way to create bib files automatically? Thanks in advance.

Guanglei

Re: reference

[Gareth Jenkins]

I have found that endnote is very bad at generating decent citation keys 
which bibtex likes. In the example you give, the entire author field is 
used in the key, including spaces, commas and other things that bibtex 
doesn't like and there is no way to just use part of the author (or 
other fields).
You can either make keys based on fields which aren't likely to contain 
spaces, comas, etc. (such as year, page no. etc) or you can use another 
program to generate decent keys.
I believe there are some simple scripts available to do this but you may 
also want to check out a reference manager called sixpack. This can 
import endnote references, generate sensible citation keys and even 
insert them directly into lyx.
I haven't tried it under windows but it should work as long as you have 
pearl/tk. Take a look at http://www.santafe.edu/~dirk/sixpack/
Hope this helps!

Typographic tradition aside, five of the five (Spanish-language) books I just
pulled off the shelf don't indent paragraphs following section headings. (The
books were published in Mexico.) Isn't there a way I can dispute the Babel
localization if I feel like it?
