It produces *very* nice PDF output from a LyX input.  You have to run

It's very configurable.

The problem lies with the regular expression
spacewordspace
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?
spacewordspace
becomes
spaceword([ ,\.])

([ ,\.]) 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'.

floatting picture errors

2004-04-30 Thread spir
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

2004-04-30 Thread Georg Philipp Burth
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...

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

to a plain document ?
It was about making the Table of Content as hyperlinks to the right 
chapters/sections/subsections.
A lyx solution was given by Helge Hafting:

layout-document-preamble
Then type \usepackage{hyperref}
I usually use:
\usepackage[breaklinks=true,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
breaklinks means that a link can be broken up as a part of normal
line breaking.  You effectively get two links to the same. (Well, it
doesn't apply to the TOC, but to page/section references and urls in
the document.
colorlinks makes all links colored, so people can see where the links
are.  This is a matter of taste, it may be too much color for some.

floatting picture errors

2004-04-30 Thread spir
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

2004-04-30 Thread Georg Philipp Burth
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...

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)

If you did not change too much after import, you could try to have a look
at the tex file. A "normal" paragraph bread is just an empty line.
Something like 

\noindent This is the next paragraph

would make the preceding line not indent. So this could possibly be more
a problem of your colleague's style of latex writing than of reLyX...

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.  I've attached a PDF I created this way, just for
reference.

The dvi is fine. 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. They do a
good job of creating sane PostScript but unfortunately also rasterize

2004-04-30 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
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}

beamer problems

2004-04-30 Thread Tim Michelsen
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

beamer class: not opt. args for institute and date in slide

2004-04-30 Thread Tim Michelsen
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

2004-04-30 Thread spir
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.

Hi,

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...

Hi again,

just found some more info, xo please excuse the second mail.

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)

Hmm... Berlios seems to be acting up.  I can get to the site, but I 
can't get to the download page.  I have a copy of tex2pdf (version 
3.1b) which I will email to you.  Watch for it to arrive shortly (no 
point slamming the email list).

Best regards,
