 I don't know. I guess the double quotes are needed if you have spaces in

No. Look up $@ in the shell manual. It's made exactly for this purpose.

SuSE-8.x-Help system

2004-03-11 Thread M.B. Schiekel
Hallo,

the SuSE-8.x-Help system (which is under SuSE also the base for the
KDE-Help) unfortunately has some major bugs.

So I wrote a little SuSE-8.x-Help HOWTO, that shows, how to correct
these bugs and how users also can integrate their own (html- and
non-html) documents in this help-system and use it for fulltext-search.
In one section it is also explicitly shown, how to integrate the
LyX-Help into the Help-system.
If you like have a look at:

  http://home.t-online.de/home/mb.schiekel/susehelp_8x_en.pdf

or in German:

  http://home.t-online.de/home/mb.schiekel/susehelp_8x_de.pdf

I did inform Mr. Cornelius Schumacher from SuSE, who did the most work
in the Perl-scripts of the SuSE-Help, about these suggestions for
error-corrections.

with kind regards -
Bernhard

 For some reason that I can't quite figure out, when I open the math panel

 window.
 When I click the lyx document lying behind it, the document window doesn't
 come to the foreground as with other GUIs -- the math panel always remains
 in front.  I find this rather annoying.  I can't seem to find anything 
 in the preferences
 to control this feature.  Is there anything I can do about it?

As I figured out it rather has to do with the windowmanager than with
lyx itself, I had the same problem with wm metacity on redhat 9, too.
But when I changed the windowmanager by typing

killall metacity; sawfish

it worked just fine. Problem is that T haven't found out how to set
sawfish as default wm, so I had to do this everytime I wanted to use
mathed in lyx.

Lately I've changed to suse8.2, here I use the double-click on the top
of the window to minimize, and simply activating by touching (not
clicking) with the mouse. These are settings in the windowmanager, but I
don`t know how it's done anywhere else but suse.

hope this helps,

PDF output of superscripts not match Lyx/DVI output

2004-03-11 Thread Aric Gregson
I just realized that when I output a Lyx file to .pdf using pdflatex the
superscripts are no longer in a smaller size font, but the same size as
the main text. When viewed in Lyx and in the DVI output the superscripts
are of a smaller font.

Is there some way to force the .pdf output to look the same as in Lyx

Re: Lyx 1.3.3 for Windows startup error

2004-03-11 Thread Paul A. Rubin
Uwe Stöhr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 I am newbie to LyX and I've I just downloaded the LyX port for
 Windows version 1.3.3
 I installed also the MiKTeX but when I start lyx I have the following
 error message
 LyX wasn't able to find any layout description ! and exits.
 
 Do you find .layout files under ~/share/lyx/layouts? If yes, does the 
 file textclass.lst exists in ~/share/lyx? If not then configure LyX 
 under Edit-Reconfigure. If this is not possible, assure that all
 users on your PC have the permission to write in the LyX-folder (and
 in all subfolders).
 
 (If you use Win98 the configuration of LyX won't work.)
 

Definitely sounds like the configure script failing.  In addition to the 
above, a few other things to check out:

1.  Open a DOS prompt in the LyX bin directory and type sed --version.  If 
it reports version 3.something, go to 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617package_id=
16429, download sed 4.0.9 (or the latest 4.x release), and install that 
version of sed.exe over the one in the bin directory.  Then try running 
configure again.

2.  If Edit | Reconfigure still doesn't work (fails to produce a non-empty 
textclass.lst file), open a DOS prompt in your document directory, make 
sure the LyX bin directory is on your application path (type echo %PATH% 
to see the path), then type sh C:/.../share/lyx/configure (replace the 
ellipsis ... with whatever the path to the LyX share folder is) and see if 
that gets the configure script to run right.

3.  Once the configuration script runs successfully, make sure that LyX is 
using the correct directory as your default document directory, by setting 
this in LyX's preference screen.  (I find it's also a good idea to make 
sure the shortcut you use to start LyX has the LyX bin directory as its 
Start in: entry.  In the Target line, you can change ...\lyx.exe to 
...\lyx.exe -userdir C:\my_document_directory (changing that last path, 
obviously) so that LyX starts with your document directory set.

Good luck!

The simplest way I found to incorporate mdwlists was to make a new layout
file. Since LyX automatically inserts \begin{enumerate} ... \end{enumerate}
it is not easy (or even possible?) to change to \begin{enumerate*} ...
\end{enumerate*}. 

The attached layout file duplicates the article class with mdwlists added as
additional environments. Should be easy to adapt for other classes. Put the
file in ~/.lyx/layouts/ and run reconfigure. The you should have a new class
in Layout..Document and the new environments in the pull-down menu. Of
course you need mdwlist.sty in your Latex tree.

try starting lyx with

2004-03-11 Thread Vivek Sharma
I have tried using the memoir book layout with lyx 1.3.3, in the win32 
version and lyx1.3.1 in cygwin and when starting a new lyx document with 
layout option article(memoir) or Book(memoir) the lyx window closes with 
 a message asking to send a report to Microsoft in the former and with 
no message in the latter leaving the xfree86- cygwin window open.
Any help appreciated.
There were some issues regarding sed with Ruurd's port so I installed 
GNUWin sed
No difference.

Ruurd's win32 Lyx Port - View dvi??

2004-03-11 Thread shokie Q R dookie R
Hi,

I am using Ruurd's win32 Lyx1.3.3 on WinXP. Recently I
played around with the converter section under
Preferences, and now I cannot view my document in DVI
(which should have the option under View/DVI together
with other viewers). I have tried many things,
re-install lyX, even re-install MiKTeX, but it is still
the same. I only have View/pdflatex now, which does not
even work!

HELP! I don't want to export to pdf and open Acrobat to
see the file everytime. It's so much more convenient to
use yap viewer. 

I thank you, kind lyx-users, in advance. :)

Best regards,
Shokie

I had the same problem before with 1.3.2 but with the 1.3.3 no such 
problem anymore.

try starting lyx with
Lyx -dbg 3
then you will see which files Lyx reads when starting up. Maybe there 
will be some error messages.

Below is the output from lyx on my computer.

No. Look up $@ in the shell manual. It's made exactly for this purpose.

SuSE-8.x-Help system

2004-03-11 Thread M.B. Schiekel
Hallo,

the SuSE-8.x-Help system (which is under SuSE also the base for the
KDE-Help) unfortunately has some major bugs.

So I wrote a little "SuSE-8.x-Help HOWTO", that shows, how to correct
these bugs and how users also can integrate their own (html- and
non-html) documents in this help-system and use it for fulltext-search.
In one section it is also explicitly shown, how to integrate the
LyX-Help into the Help-system.
If you like have a look at:

  http://home.t-online.de/home/mb.schiekel/susehelp_8x_en.pdf

or in German:

  http://home.t-online.de/home/mb.schiekel/susehelp_8x_de.pdf

I did inform Mr. Cornelius Schumacher from SuSE, who did the most work
in the Perl-scripts of the SuSE-Help, about these suggestions for
error-corrections.

with kind regards -
Bernhard

As I figured out it rather has to do with the windowmanager than with
lyx itself, I had the same problem with wm metacity on redhat 9, too.
But when I changed the windowmanager by typing

killall metacity; sawfish

it worked just fine. Problem is that T haven't found out how to set
sawfish as default wm, so I had to do this everytime I wanted to use
mathed in lyx.

Lately I've changed to suse8.2, here I use the double-click on the top
of the window to minimize, and simply activating by touching (not
clicking) with the mouse. These are settings in the windowmanager, but I
don`t know how it's done anywhere else but suse.

hope this helps,

PDF output of superscripts not match Lyx/DVI output

2004-03-11 Thread Aric Gregson
I just realized that when I output a Lyx file to .pdf using pdflatex the
superscripts are no longer in a smaller size font, but the same size as
the main text. When viewed in Lyx and in the DVI output the superscripts
are of a smaller font.

Is there some way to force the .pdf output to look the same as in Lyx
and DVI?

Lyx/Mac 1.3.4, OSX 10.2.8

thanks,

aric


mdwlist question

2004-03-11 Thread Gunnar
Hello.
How can I have an enumeration list and then use the mdwlist package to 
suspend enumeration, insert some  lyx code  (yes, new enivornment), and 
then resume the enumeration? It seems like that the enumeration is ended, 
and then the resume command is operating outside of any 
\begin¥enumerate]...\end{enumerate}

Is that possible?
Please send LyX file to show me, because I can't get it to work.
Is there any other way to get enumeration (without using the 
\setcounter{enumi}{3}, I want automatical enumeration ) like this

1. adasf
2. asfdaeh ae aer

some other things, lyx code

3. foo
4. bar

package, but it addresses everything else I think.)

Definitely sounds like the configure script failing.  In addition to the 
above, a few other things to check out:

1.  Open a DOS prompt in the LyX bin directory and type sed --version.  If 
it reports version 3.something, go to 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617_id=
16429, download sed 4.0.9 (or the latest 4.x release), and install that 
version of sed.exe over the one in the bin directory.  Then try running 
configure again.

2.  If Edit | Reconfigure still doesn't work (fails to produce a non-empty 
textclass.lst file), open a DOS prompt in your document directory, make 
sure the LyX bin directory is on your application path (type "echo %PATH%" 
to see the path), then type "sh C:/.../share/lyx/configure" (replace the 
ellipsis ... with whatever the path to the LyX share folder is) and see if 
that gets the configure script to run right.

3.  Once the configuration script runs successfully, make sure that LyX is 
using the correct directory as your default document directory, by setting 
this in LyX's preference screen.  (I find it's also a good idea to make 
sure the shortcut you use to start LyX has the LyX bin directory as its 
"Start in:" entry.  In the Target line, you can change "...\lyx.exe" to 
"...\lyx.exe -userdir C:\my_document_directory" (changing that last path, 
obviously) so that LyX starts with your document directory set.

Good luck!

The simplest way I found to incorporate mdwlists was to make a new layout
file. Since LyX automatically inserts \begin{enumerate} ... \end{enumerate}
it is not easy (or even possible?) to change to \begin{enumerate*} ...
\end{enumerate*}. 

The attached layout file duplicates the article class with mdwlists added as
additional environments. Should be easy to adapt for other classes. Put the
file in ~/.lyx/layouts/ and run reconfigure. The you should have a new class
in Layout..Document and the new environments in the pull-down menu. Of
course you need mdwlist.sty in your Latex tree.
