could somebody tell me why I get an error by using the second equation in the
added lyx-file?
This is the relevant part of the lyx-file:
\layout Standard
If I take the second equation out, dvi gives no error.
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula R=Rh/2+(ZZ-4)
\end_inset
\layout Standard
but with this one it gives errors
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula R=Rh/2+(ZZ-4)+K_{ab}

I am using Lyx Version 1.3.2 Mai 2003 and Mandrake 9.2

import from endnote via JabRef and vim
Using JabRef I managed to import a big database in txt format exported
as Refer Export from Endnote7. I had to use the JabRef 'Bibtex-key
generator' to get the database recognised as bibtex (and also by
Pybliographer).
Import in Lyx1.3.4 worked (after I got the Lyx-server going somehow),
but Lyx did not recognise the keys (that came up as 'name1998') it
seemed that Lys treats such key as a disrupted mathematical expression
and tried to repair it, which of course did not help. After inserting
'-' inbetween name and date to 'name-1998' everything worked fine.
Maybe this is a lyx-bug but it might be helpful to people to know.
PS I used vim to get '-' inserted in all my keys by using
search/replace with regular expressions.

I too have always wondered about this.
This is the relevant part of the lyx-file:
\begin_inset Formula R=Rh/2+(ZZ-4)+K_{ab}
The problem seems to be that changing the math font takes lyx out of
math mode. What (I think) you should get is;
\begin_inset Formula $\mathrm{R=Rh/2+(ZZ-4)+K_{ab}}$
which works fine if you manually edit the lyx file.
I haven't seen anything in the FAQ or archives but then searching for
math font problems always leads to another, more frequent FAQ.

Perhaps I have mistakenly used C-m C-m to create offending equations. I now realise this changes the font to simple text which I'm guessing doesn't work with math commands. This is a bit confusing though as it should either work or not allow math commands to display in the preview when the font is simple text. Gareth

It should be Format: dvi, GUI name: DVI, Shortcut: D, Extension: dvi and Viewer: yap. If it is not correct the entries and reconfigure LyX again. If it won't work anyway, look if the menu File-Export-DVI works. If it works not, you probably have a LaTeX-installation problem. If it does, send me the file which is produced by LyX during the configuration. regards Uwe

When exporting your document to LaTeX, you will see, that the formulas
in LyX are not formulas in LaTeX:
---
\begin{document}

R=Rh/2+(ZZ-4)
but with this one it gives errors
R=Rh/2+(ZZ-4)+K_{ab}
\end{document}

I've never seen that before. This seems to be a bug. What have you done
to create the formulas? When you put the cursor in the formula, LyX
status bar says Type: none. I tried to reproduce this but failed.
When inserting a formula by Insert-Math, the characters should appear
as blue italic.
The second equation gives errors, because it is not a formula in LaTeX.
And subscripts are not allowed in normal text.
Btw. Your can avoid the preamble stuff, when using the class 'scrbook'
instead of 'book' and set the option 'idxtotoc' (both in the menu
Layout-Document-Layout-Document Class/Options).

Re: Lyx Win32 setup notes - some annotations
Ruurd made a great job with LyXWin. The only problem is the Sed. I'll mail him and hopefully he will provide LyXWin 1.3.4 with the actual Sed version. I agree that the LyXWin is great. What is the actual problem with SED. I have not installed a new version of SED AFAIK. And my LyXWin works fine. Paul Rubin wrote here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg32826.html that old versions will have problems with linebreaks in windows. Under Win2000 this problem doesn't appear, so you should do nothing; never change a winning team! But under Win98 and WinXP there are some problems with the old Sed. Ruurd uses version 3.02, the actual one is ver. 4.09 (or 1.4 which is ver. 4.07).

Re: Lyx Win32 setup notes - some annotations
At the moment, and unfortunately so, loading lyx onto windows is not straight out of the box - if it were so then the list would have no one asking the same old Win Lyx q's almost every week - this page is meant for them - people who have firstly followed up the method on Ruurd's download page and got up and running to a certain extent but have then had the sense and gumption to come to the list seeking help - I'm trying to condense that help and provide a second go for these users. I seemed to me that some readers of the list thaught, they have to play with configuration scripts and converters altough it isn't necessary on some platforms. So that was why I wrote some annotations. And I fully agree with you, that your install guide is very helpful for those, who tried out Ruurds instructions without success. On the configure front: Yes it is again a daunting thing for a newbie and as you correctly state much time and effort has been put into the Qt front end. I have emailed Ruurd on 2 occasions with an updated configure script suitable for Windows but as yet it is not included. See Vivek's last email to the list with his configure results - no windows exe's found at all. Now he has to go through the manual process of configuration (is that not as daunting for a newbie?) that a tweaked configure script can or could automate for him. Seems that I missed something. I found Vivek's last email here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg32835.html but he describes a problem with memoir. I thaught I could help him with my reply to that mail. But anyway, Ruurds never answers on mails. But he normally reads comments and emails. (E.g. I wrote him about including internationalized menues and three weeks later, it was included. He also fixed the image configuration.) regards Uwe

Re: Lyx Win32 setup notes - some anotations
First assure that you use the actual memoir.layout. You can download it from here: http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/memoir.layout This worked beautifully, it was quite stupid of me not to think about deleting the three memoir layouts previously posted from my local .lyx/layouts directory, but doing that and using your link to get the memoir.layout has now sorted everything out. The default home directory in WinXP is Documents and Settings/... - a directory with spaces, is that an issue? I have not been able to figure how to change the home directory to a regular directory without spaces do you know how? This is not an issue if you follow Ruurds instructions not to install LyXWin under a folder with spaces in its name. The user settings are saved by LyXWin under Documents and Settings/user/.lyx, but this works fine on all Win-platforms.

Re: Lyx Win32 setup notes - some anotations
First assure that you use the actual memoir.layout. You can download it from here: http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyx-devel/lib/layouts/memoir.layout This worked beautifully, it was quite stupid of me not to think about deleting the three memoir layouts previously posted from my local .lyx/layouts directory, but doing that and using your link to get the memoir.layout has now sorted everything out. The default home directory in WinXP is Documents and Settings/... - a directory with spaces, is that an issue? I have not been able to figure how to change the home directory to a regular directory without spaces do you know how? This is not an issue if you follow Ruurds instructions not to install LyXWin under a folder with spaces in its name. The user settings are saved by LyXWin under Documents and Settings/user/.lyx, but this works fine on all Win-platforms.

import from endnote via JabRef and vim
Using JabRef I managed to import a big database in txt format exported
as "Refer Export" from Endnote7. I had to use the JabRef 'Bibtex-key
generator' to get the database recognised as bibtex (and also by
Pybliographer).
Import in Lyx1.3.4 worked (after I got the Lyx-server going somehow),
but Lyx did not recognise the keys (that came up as 'name1998') it
seemed that Lys treats such key as a disrupted mathematical expression
and tried to repair it, which of course did not help. After inserting
'-' inbetween name and date to 'name-1998' everything worked fine.
Maybe this is a lyx-bug but it might be helpful to people to know.
PS I used vim to get '-' inserted in all my keys by using
search/replace with regular expressions.

Hi! Having followed the advice as best I can, things have improved but still cannot preview anything, neither dvi nor pdf previews (2 of the latter) work. No output to the lyx screen when doing C-d or selecting dvi from the menu but the console tells me that a latex file was produced including the body. Both kinds of pdf preview tell me that there are no instructions for previewing pdf. In neither case are there error messages on the console, started with "lyx -dbg 3". What should I try now, please?

Had exactly the same problem and output using sed 4.0.9. So I deleted it
and renamed oldsed.exe to sed.exe. Now /lyx/share/lyx/configure completes
without errors. But I still cannot preview lyx files with dvi or pdf. See

I too have always wondered about this.
This is the relevant part of the lyx-file:
\begin_inset Formula R=Rh/2+(ZZ-4)+K_{ab}
The problem seems to be that changing the math font takes lyx out of
math mode. What (I think) you should get is;
\begin_inset Formula $\mathrm{R=Rh/2+(ZZ-4)+K_{ab}}$
which works fine if you manually edit the lyx file.
I haven't seen anything in the FAQ or archives but then searching for
"math font" problems always leads to another, more frequent FAQ.

The previous line should read \begin_inset $Formula R=Rh/2+(ZZ-4)$ (Note the dollar signs). If you want your formula in roman font, mark it and then choose "Roman" from the math panel. This equation "works" by accident, the second does not because it contains an underscore. How did you create the file? If such files can be created with regular LyX commands, please file a bug on http://bugzilla.lyx.org with a description how it is reproducible. Georg
Including Lyx Documents
Can someone explain the options for including Lyx files. From the 'Insert' pull down there are 'Include File...' and 'Insert File' -> 'Lyx Document...'. In the 'Include File...' dialog there are options for 'Include Type:' which has the choices Input, Include, and Verbatim. I am trying to get a master lyx file refer to other lyx files and include them when producing the documentation and include any changes they have. I am currently using Lyx for v1.3.3-Win32 Eric Schug

Perhaps I have mistakenly used C-m C-m to create offending equations. I now realise this changes the font to simple text which I'm guessing doesn't work with math commands. This is a bit confusing though as it should either work or not allow math commands to display in the preview when the font is simple text. Gareth

For DVI: Does yap work correctly? (Open a .dvi-file with it to test.) If yes, start LyX, go to Edit->Preferences->File Formats->DVI, what is in the fields? It should be Format: dvi, GUI name: DVI, Shortcut: D, Extension: dvi and Viewer: yap. If it is not correct the entries and reconfigure LyX again. If it won't work anyway, look if the menu File->Export->DVI works. If it works not, you probably have a LaTeX-installation problem. If it does, send me the file which is produced by LyX during the configuration. regards Uwe

When exporting your document to LaTeX, you will see, that the formulas
in LyX are not formulas in LaTeX:
---
\begin{document}
If I take the second equation out, dvi gives no error.
R=Rh/2+(ZZ-4)
but with this one it gives errors
R=Rh/2+(ZZ-4)+K_{ab}
\end{document}
---
I've never seen that before. This seems to be a bug. What have you done
to create the formulas? When you put the cursor in the formula, LyX
status bar says Type: none. I tried to reproduce this but failed.
When inserting a formula by Insert->Math, the characters should appear
as blue italic.
The second equation gives errors, because it is not a formula in LaTeX.
And subscripts are not allowed in normal text.
Btw. Your can avoid the preamble stuff, when using the class 'scrbook'
instead of 'book' and set the option 'idxtotoc' (both in the menu
Layout->Document->Layout->Document Class/Options).

Re: Lyx Win32 setup notes - some annotations
Ruurd made a great job with LyXWin. The only problem is the Sed. I'll mail him and hopefully he will provide LyXWin 1.3.4 with the actual Sed version. I agree that the LyXWin is great. What is the actual problem with SED. I have not installed a new version of SED AFAIK. And my LyXWin works fine. Paul Rubin wrote here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg32826.html that old versions will have problems with linebreaks in windows. Under Win2000 this problem doesn't appear, so you should do nothing; never change a winning team! But under Win98 and WinXP there are some problems with the old Sed. Ruurd uses version 3.02, the actual one is ver. 4.09 (or 1.4 which is ver. 4.07).

Re: Lyx Win32 setup notes - some annotations
At the moment, and unfortunately so, loading lyx onto windows is not straight out of the box - if it were so then the list would have no one asking the same old Win Lyx q's almost every week - this page is meant for them - people who have firstly followed up the method on Ruurd's download page and got up and running to a certain extent but have then had the sense and gumption to come to the list seeking help - I'm trying to condense that help and provide a second go for these users. I seemed to me that some readers of the list thaught, they have to play with configuration scripts and converters altough it isn't necessary on some platforms. So that was why I wrote some annotations. And I fully agree with you, that your install guide is very helpful for those, who tried out Ruurds instructions without success. On the configure front: Yes it is again a daunting thing for a newbie and as you correctly state much time and effort has been put into the Qt front end. I have emailed Ruurd on 2 occasions with an updated configure script suitable for Windows but as yet it is not included. See Vivek's last email to the list with his configure results - no windows exe's found at all. Now he has to go through the manual process of configuration (is that not as daunting for a newbie?) that a tweaked configure script can or could automate for him. Seems that I missed something. I found Vivek's last email here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg32835.html but he describes a problem with memoir. I thaught I could help him with my reply to that mail. But anyway, Ruurds never answers on mails. But he normally reads comments and emails. (E.g. I wrote him about including internationalized menues and three weeks later, it was included. He also fixed the image configuration.) regards Uwe
