I use tex2pdf, which is a Perl script you can find on Berlios: http://tex2pdf.berlios.de/ It produces *very* nice PDF output from a LyX input. You have to run it from the prompt, providing the .lyx file as the argument. It will automatically run bibTeX and can run makeindex, if that's needed.

floatting picture errors
hello :) Excuse me, but i have a problem : in a file, i put 5 floatting tables, and 13 floatting pictures ... i may ctrl-d without any problems. But if i add another floatting pictures, i get 9 errors. I tried to remove one floatting picture (anyone) and it works. So, it looks as if it was the number of floatting pictures which was the problem. I run lyx 1.3.4 under debian GNU/linux sid. you may get a tgz of my problem at : (be carefull, httpS) https://spir.ath.cx/tmp/matrice.tgz excuse me, but you'll must rePATH pictures I'll hope it's my fault... but i really don't find where i'm wrong.
Re: floatting picture errors
Hi, So, it looks as if it was the number of floatting pictures which was the problem. You're right, that's the problemn (as the 8th error message says too many unprocessed floats) That's a problem caused by latex, because it tries to hold back floats that it thinks don't fit perfectly on a page quite yet and waits for a better place later. If there are too many of these non-fitting floats this error occurs. Use the ERT \clearpage command or the Here, in all cases option of at least one float (accesible via right-click in the background of the float). The first otion forces latex to output any floats befor it can continue further in the document, the latter says latex to place the float HERE, even if latex doesn't think it looks good. See http://www.mackichan.com/index.html?techtalk/356.htm~mainFrame for further info. Or search for Too many unprocessed floats and latex in a search engine of your choice. Your pics are also too big, IMHO. I would say you should confie them to at max 100 text%, not size%, cause they are prited into the margin right now. excuse me, but you'll must rePATH pictures Wasn't necessary. LyX only saves relative paths...

(Of course, the floats can't all fit here if the sequence is sufficiently prolonged: once the page fills, LaTeX won't place any more floats, leading to the error. So the long sequence of floats triggered the error. Perhaps you should consider putting some text in between them? (Or use one of the methods in the earlier mail)

Re: table of contents links
This works with hyperref package. Here is an example: Make sure you have hyperref as your last referenced package in your preamble \usepackage[colorlinks=true,bookmarks=true,letterpaper]{hyperref} Within your document referencing part, chapter, section, etc. use the ERT command to get straight LaTeX. \part*{Part Title} \phantomsection \addcontentsline{toc}{part}{tocTitleInsert} -Marc On Thursday 29 April 2004 15:56, Dominique Buenzli wrote: Hello !

beamer problems
Hi, I use bibtex for my bibliography data/citations. When I try to use bibtex (insert - bibl.) in LyX together with the beamer class I get a lot of errors. Why? Enumerations don't get displayed as in LyX like 1 ... a)... b)... 2 ... a)... Instead I get 1... 1... 2... 2... 1... in my PDF. The latter is not desired. What ist wrong? Thanks Tim -- SuSe 8.1 Acrobat 5 LyX 1.3.2 tetex 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.7)
beamer class: not opt. args for institute and date in slide
Hi, I use the beamer class for making a presentation. My problem is: The optinal arguments to institute and date don't get displayed in the footer of my slides when I process the pdf. My file is the template that comes with the package: beamerpresentation.lyx The optional Arguments for title and author get displayed. Any hint? Someone with the same problem? Thank you Tim P.S. the Beamer is a really cool and easy to use class. I can really recommend it.
floatting picture errors
hello :) Excuse me, but i have a problem : in a file, i put 5 floatting tables, and 13 floatting pictures ... i may ctrl-d without any problems. But if i add another floatting pictures, i get 9 errors. I tried to remove one floatting picture (anyone) and it works. So, it looks as if it was the number of floatting pictures which was the problem. I run lyx 1.3.4 under debian GNU/linux sid. you may get a tgz of my problem at : (be carefull, httpS) https://spir.ath.cx/tmp/matrice.tgz excuse me, but you'll must rePATH pictures I'll hope it's my fault... but i really don't find where i'm wrong.
Re: floatting picture errors
Hi, So, it looks as if it was the number of floatting pictures which was the problem. You're right, that's the problemn (as the 8th error message says too many unprocessed floats) That's a problem caused by latex, because it tries to hold back floats that it thinks don't fit perfectly on a page quite yet and waits for a better place later. If there are too many of these non-fitting floats this error occurs. Use the ERT \clearpage command or the Here, in all cases option of at least one float (accesible via right-click in the background of the float). The first otion forces latex to output any floats befor it can continue further in the document, the latter says latex to place the float HERE, even if latex doesn't think it looks good. See http://www.mackichan.com/index.html?techtalk/356.htm~mainFrame for further info. Or search for Too many unprocessed floats and latex in a search engine of your choice. Your pics are also too big, IMHO. I would say you should confie them to at max 100 text%, not size%, cause they are prited into the margin right now. excuse me, but you'll must rePATH pictures Wasn't necessary. LyX only saves relative paths...
Re: floatting picture errors
Hi again, just found some more info, xo please excuse the second mail. I'll hope it's my fault... but i really don't find where i'm wrong. According to http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tmupfl it is ;-) The error also occurs [...] [if] you're inside it long sequence of figure or table environments, with no intervening text. Unless the environments will fit here (and you've allowed them to go here), there will never be a page break, and so there will never be an opportunity for LaTeX to reconsider placement. (Of course, the floats can't all fit here if the sequence is sufficiently prolonged: once the page fills, LaTeX won't place any more floats, leading to the error. So the long sequence of floats triggered the error. Perhaps you should consider putting some text in between them? (Or use one of the methods in the earlier mail)

How to do the same with lyx ? Here's what I do. It isn't necessarily a "pure" LyX solution, but it works very well (and handles several other problems in creating a good-looking PDF). I use tex2pdf, which is a Perl script you can find on Berlios: http://tex2pdf.berlios.de/ It produces *very* nice PDF output from a LyX input. You have to run it from the prompt, providing the .lyx file as the argument. It will automatically run bibTeX and can run makeindex, if that's needed. It's very configurable. $ tex2pdf MyFile.lyx The table of contents and cross-references in the document will be hyperlinked. The output from the above command will be called MyFile.pdf.

It's the PostScript file that is corrupt. (gs is a PostScript interpreter.) What you might try is to run your PostScript file through a sanitizer. gs comes with ps2ps and eps2eps.

Is there a > wildcard that might be added after the word? The problem lies with the regular expression word which obviously fails if the word is followed by some punctuation. You should have more luck with: perl -p -e 's: word([ ,\.]):\n\\emph on\n word \n\\emph default\n\1:g' file.lyx > file2.lyx (All on one line). What's changed? word becomes word([ ,\.]) ([ ,\.]) is a regular expression that matches against a single ' ', ',' or '.' and stores it in a group for later retrieval. Note that '.' has special meaning in a regular expression, so we indicate a literal '.' as '\.'. It's pasted back into your reconstructed text as '\1'. HTH, Angus
