I'll do.

Any ETA for 1.4?

 Specifically the character styles allow inline elements to be supported in 
 docbook. Also it is possible to specify the dtd to be used directly in 
 the .layout files. 

TEI/DocBook v5 will be expressed in Relax NG. Does it mean one will need to
translate it to DTD?

 The remaing bits, the support for the insets that lyx supports can be done
 using some kind of flavours dialect.

This is not 100% clear to me.

   I would say that simple support is possible easily, a more integrated 
 scheme requires more work. I hope this answers your question.

Yes, it helps, although I'd like to have some simple example ready :-)

From what I've read somewere else it should work if I run

Re: problem with some document classes

2004-05-10 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
Since I'm running Debian Sid I do the following:

mkdir /usr/localshare/texmf/tex/latex

Underneath that directory you can either make a separate directory/folder for 
each class style or leave them separate if it is just one file.

For cleanliness I make sure each one has its own directory.  Now if its a 
package from www.ctan.org  it usually is tar'd up with its own directory in 
the first place.

Underneath my directory tree I have the following so far:

IEEEtran/
algorithms/
epigraph/
memoir/
paper/
pdfcolmk/
pdfdraftcopy/
pdftricks/
preprint/
prettyref/
resume/
runic/


move back up to the /usr/local/share/texmf directory.

run texhash

ls-R should be autogenerated.

Then within LyX run Reconfigure followed by restarting LyX.

Now LyX doesn't fully support memoir so when I need that class I use the 
latest version of Kile and code by hand, even though Kile does quite a bit
of helping one out.

Files Inclusion/insertion problem.

2004-05-10 Thread David Jutier
Hello all,

I have two problems with the insert/include functions in lyx : 

I write a main file (my PhD thesis) using the apalike bib style (with natbib 
package). I need to include another lyx file in this main document. This 
second file uses the Genetics bib style (the style of the Genetics journal, 
without natbib). I want to keep the two bib styles intact in the final 
document, but this is not the case ! The resulting document entirely conforms 
to the Genetics style (citations in the texts and references lists) ! Both 
functions include and insert give the same résults. Is there an easy way 
to solve this problem ?? (even a difficult way will be appreciated ;-).

Second : I did not found any way to include a pdf or ps file into a lyx file. 
Is it possible to do that ?

Many thanks !
David


LyX is not showing math properly

Dear LyX users,

I have just installed Lyx rpm from SuSe 9.0 and it has a problem: it 
does not show
Greek letters, integral signs, etc, instead it shows them as Latex 
commands in red.
Something is missing in the rpm built by SuSe, what this might be?

Well, I guess you meant /usr/share/lyx/tex, I'm using gentoo too.
From what I've read somewere else it should work if I run 
`texhash /usr/share/lyx/tex/` it would be the same, but it didn't work.
So I simlinked that directory to /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/lyx and after a 
texhash worked fine.
So, thank you, it finally worked.

  OK, that was a proof of concept and I am expecting to see how it will 
evolve. That was the sense that wanted to transmit, obviously I chose the

  No, I was talking about the initial header.

  This is lyx parlance to descrive some of the lyx internal code. :-)

Re: problem with some document classes

2004-05-10 Thread Marc Jeffrey Driftmeyer
Since I'm running Debian Sid I do the following:

mkdir /usr/localshare/texmf/tex/latex

Underneath that directory you can either make a separate directory/folder for 
each class style or leave them separate if it is just one file.

For cleanliness I make sure each one has its own directory.  Now if its a 
package from www.ctan.org  it usually is tar'd up with its own directory in 
the first place.

Underneath my directory tree I have the following so far:

IEEEtran/
algorithms/
epigraph/
memoir/
paper/
pdfcolmk/
pdfdraftcopy/
pdftricks/
preprint/
prettyref/
resume/
runic/


move back up to the /usr/local/share/texmf directory.

run texhash

ls-R should be autogenerated.

Then within LyX run Reconfigure followed by restarting LyX.

Now LyX doesn't fully support memoir so when I need that class I use the 
latest version of Kile and code by hand, even though Kile does quite a bit
of helping one out.

When we are speaking about xml docs, utf-8 is coming as a natural sequence.

I just updated my LaTeX to latest version and tried basic utf8-test.tex with
the addition of Croatian characters - everything works.

reLyX, however, cannot import such latex file. Is utf-8 support on the 1.4.
list? (according to the dev's site roadmap, it isn't clear)

Files Inclusion/insertion problem.

2004-05-10 Thread David Jutier
Hello all,

I have two problems with the insert/include functions in lyx : 

I write a main file (my PhD thesis) using the apalike bib style (with natbib 
package). I need to include another lyx file in this main document. This 
second file uses the "Genetics" bib style (the style of the Genetics journal, 
without natbib). I want to keep the two bib styles intact in the final 
document, but this is not the case ! The resulting document entirely conforms 
to the "Genetics" style (citations in the texts and references lists) ! Both 
functions "include" and "insert" give the same résults. Is there an easy way 
to solve this problem ?? (even a difficult way will be appreciated ;-).

Second : I did not found any way to include a pdf or ps file into a lyx file. 
Is it possible to do that ?

Many thanks !
David


LyX is not showing math properly

2004-05-10 Thread lev kantorovitch
Dear LyX users,

I have just installed Lyx rpm from SuSe 9.0 and it has a problem: it 
does not show
Greek letters, integral signs, etc, instead it shows them as Latex 
commands in red.
Something is missing in the rpm built by SuSe, what this might be?

Lev,

You may need to install latex-xft-fonts package. Please, have a look at:

  Plan, yes. Any further work, no. :-)
  There is a bugzilla entry for that topic

  Please feel free to add your suggestions there.

  That is still vapour, but a nice move if it becomes real, and I would like 
it to succeed. :-)

  Certainly not.

> Any hint?

  There is some work to be done on the lyx side, and all the contributions 
are welcome. The next version, 1.4, has some work in that direction. 
Specifically the character styles allow inline elements to be supported in 
docbook. Also it is possible to specify the dtd to be used directly in 
the .layout files. The remaing bits, the support for the insets that lyx 
supports can be done using some kind of "flavours" dialect.

  I would say that simple support is possible easily, a more integrated 
scheme requires more work. I hope this answers your question.

Re: problem with some document classes

2004-05-10 Thread Jim
This is one of the most common questions I see asked. You need to either 
copy the appropriate files (i.e; hollywood.cls) from 
/usr/share/lyx/examples (on my gentoo system) to somewhere in your tetex 
path, and of course run texhash, then reconfigure in lyx.
I put a separate folder in /etc/texmf , called lyx and stuck the files 
there.  Kind of a hack, but I don't update very often. Good luck.
