Yes, you should define at least one style (explicitely or by including
another file).

Rotated Table and text on same page

[Andreas Novak]

dear list,
 
I have a problem in my thesis with a rotated table. The table fits on one
page, there is still enough space over and under the table for some text. 
If I put a new section in my document, this text is shown on the same page.
If I put one sentence below the section, latex creates a page break between
the sentence and the rotated table. 
I've also tried to shrink the table to a minimum, but still the text does
not show on the same page.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks in advance

Andreas

  Perhaps you should do your find/replace work in a better text editor, such

Or use the Python LyX package (http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/PyClient) to
program a python function that does the replacement (via the lyxserver)

Maybe, the package could even be used to glue the OmegaT CAT program with

Arrows in math mode

[Geoffrey Lloyd]

Hi

I am trying to reproduce the following and wondered whether it was possible in 
Lyx mathmode

some text here
x--y

Where the arrow has a solid line and the text is written over the arrow rather 
than on a separate line although this wouldn't matter as long as the arrow was 
long enough for the text to be over it.

Anyone got any ideas?

but file-export-dvi or view-dvi fails with an error that no spaces are

Things will go pear-shaped when your DVI file includes a reference to such
a file. Eg, through a \insetgraphics call. See the clean_dvi.py script at 
http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/FilesWithSpecialChars

Further more, many of the scripts that ship with LyX 1.3.5 are just plain
broken when it comes to files with spaces.

However, see the LyX 1.3.6 prerelease available at

Testers wanted --- LyX 1.3.6 prerelease (Windows)

I've made a LyX 1.3.6 prerelease for Windows available at
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136pre .

I'm looking for a few more willing volunteers to try it out and send me bug
reports (to the lyx-devel mailing list please.)

I'm also looking for people to translate the Installer's interface into
language of your choice. I've already got a French translation and I may
have a German one soon. Other languages, however, would be great too.
There are only 50 strings to translate...

As ever with pre-release software --- Caveat Emptor. Please back up your
documents before trying them out with this.

 Angus,

 Don't you need to re-install the OS before upgrading an
 application? :-)

;-)

 If there's a linux beta I could test that for you folks.

There are too many different flavours of linux to make that a 
practical proposition. Anyway, LyX on *nix should be little more than 
a pure bug fix release so I'm less worried about that. Moreover, we 
all use linux (don't we?), so it's been tested much more thoroughly 
than its Windows cousin.

I think its fair to say that LyX/Win 1.3.6 has been tested only in

Rule Under Center Head

Using the fancyheadings package and the fancy pagestyle, I get a center 
head underlined by a rule which, by default, seems to be the text 
width. What if I would like that rule to be shorter and still centered? 
A TeX novice, I've tried commands in the preamble aimed at adjusting 
the length of the rule, but I get the error Missing \begin{document} 
Any suggestions?

More Beamer Hangups

[Rich Shepard]

  I suppose that it's just me, but I'm having a terrible time with the Beamer
class in LyX-1.3.5. In addition to the -deeper issue, I cannot indent
itemized items under another itemized item and the \block command does not
produce the expected output (the first letter after the name, block, is the
title and everything else is listed below that.)

  Have others successfully used these features within the LyX environment?
I'm not sufficiently productive trying to write this presentation.

Rich -

I've used the sample beamerpresentation.lyx file that comes with beamer 
as a model, and I believe it will answer most of your questions. (If 
you don't have it for some reason, I can send it to you privately.)


For example, from that file it's clear that \block requires using ERT 
to put the block title in curly braces: {Title}.


Itemized items can be nested using standard LyX command 
(Increase/Decrease Environment Depth). Your trouble may be that you 
have a pause in between; the pause paragraph must be indented in 
order for subsequent items to be indented as well. (Again, that this is 
the case becomes evident from studying the beamerpresentation.lyx file 
-- but it does take some detective work.)


I hope that helps.

I've committed your translation to the repository

( Equivalent URL: http://tinyurl.com/9c9oe )

I made the !ifdef changes. Note also that I changed the encoding from UTF-8 
to ISO8859-1 because NSIS doesn't support UTF-8 ATM.

docstrings are gone in 1.4.0cvs. They were actually tooltips for the

Arrows in math mode

[Geoffrey Lloyd]

Hi

I am trying to reproduce the following and wondered whether it was possible in 
Lyx mathmode

some text here
x--y

Where the arrow has a solid line and the text is written over the arrow rather 
than on a separate line although this wouldn't matter as long as the arrow was 
long enough for the text to be over it.

Anyone got any ideas?

win2k: spaces in path

[Micha Feigin]

Whats with the limitation on spaces in the path under lyx 1.3.5 for windows?

Lyx opens and exports files just fine, and same goes for miktex.
That is I can do file-export-latex and then latex file.tex works just fine
but file-export-dvi or view-dvi fails with an error that no spaces are
allowed in the path.

Things will go pear-shaped when your DVI file includes a reference to such
a file. Eg, through a \insetgraphics call. See the clean_dvi.py script at 
http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/FilesWithSpecialChars

Further more, many of the scripts that ship with LyX 1.3.5 are just plain
broken when it comes to files with spaces.

However, see the LyX 1.3.6 prerelease available at

Testers wanted --- LyX 1.3.6 prerelease (Windows)

[Angus Leeming]

I've made a LyX 1.3.6 prerelease for Windows available at
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136pre .

I'm looking for a few more willing volunteers to try it out and send me bug
reports (to the lyx-devel mailing list please.)

I'm also looking for people to translate the Installer's interface into
language of your choice. I've already got a French translation and I may
have a German one soon. Other languages, however, would be great too.
There are only 50 strings to translate...

As ever with pre-release software --- Caveat Emptor. Please back up your
documents before trying them out with this.

 Angus,

 Don't you need to re-install the OS before upgrading an
 application? :-)

;-)

 If there's a linux beta I could test that for you folks.

There are too many different flavours of linux to make that a 
practical proposition. Anyway, LyX on *nix should be little more than 
a pure bug fix release so I'm less worried about that. Moreover, we 
all use linux (don't we?), so it's been tested much more thoroughly 
than its Windows cousin.

 I will try to find time in the weekend. I expect to do the test on

Thank you.

I think its fair to say that LyX/Win 1.3.6 has been tested only in 
WinXP. I read that the installer 
( http://nsis.sourceforge.net/features/ ) is compatible with all

Sure! Only the 55 strings in english.nsh ( http://tinyurl.com/8ukxa )

pre-packaged with the installer.

Rule Under Center Head

[Bruce Pourciau]

Using the fancyheadings package and the fancy pagestyle, I get a center 
head underlined by a rule which, by default, seems to be the text 
width. What if I would like that rule to be shorter and still centered? 
A TeX novice, I've tried commands in the preamble aimed at adjusting 
the length of the rule, but I get the error Missing \begin{document} 
Any suggestions?

More Beamer Hangups

[Rich Shepard]

  I suppose that it's just me, but I'm having a terrible time with the Beamer
class in LyX-1.3.5. In addition to the -deeper issue, I cannot indent
itemized items under another itemized item and the \block command does not
produce the expected output (the first letter after the name, block, is the
title and everything else is listed below that.)

  Have others successfully used these features within the LyX environment?
I'm not sufficiently productive trying to write this presentation.

Rich -

I've used the sample beamerpresentation.lyx file that comes with beamer 
as a model, and I believe it will answer most of your questions. (If 
you don't have it for some reason, I can send it to you privately.)


For example, from that file it's clear that \block requires using ERT 
to put the block title in curly braces: {Title}.


Itemized items can be nested using standard LyX command 
(Increase/Decrease Environment Depth). Your trouble may be that you 
have a pause in between; the pause paragraph must be indented in 
order for subsequent items to be indented as well. (Again, that this is 
the case becomes evident from studying the beamerpresentation.lyx file 
-- but it does take some detective work.)


I hope that helps.

You already have. Many thanks for that!

I've committed your translation to the repository
http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyx-devel/development/Win32/packaging/installer/lyx_languages/Attic/danish.nsh?rev=1.1.2.1only_with_tag=BRANCH_1_3_Xcontent-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
( Equivalent URL: http://tinyurl.com/9c9oe )

I made the !ifdef changes. Note also that I changed the encoding from UTF-8 
to ISO8859-1 because NSIS doesn't support UTF-8 ATM.


I also uploaded the updated package to 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136pre (now version 7).

This is a follow up, as it did not read in article.layout

Yes, you should define at least one style (explicitely or by including
another file).

Rotated Table and text on same page

[Andreas Novak]

dear list,
 
I have a problem in my thesis with a rotated table. The table fits on one
page, there is still enough space over and under the table for some text. 
If I put a new section in my document, this text is shown on the same page.
If I put one sentence below the section, latex creates a page break between
the sentence and the rotated table. 
I've also tried to shrink the table to a minimum, but still the text does
not show on the same page.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks in advance

Or use the Python LyX package (http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/PyClient) to
program a python function that does the replacement (via the lyxserver)
and keeps a record.

Maybe, the package could even be used to glue the "OmegaT" CAT program with
LyX.

As an excuse, one could say that Standard, Section, ... are all "layout
styles" for paragraphs.

Quick fix: have a docstring for lfun "layout" that tells
"set the paragraph style"

 BTW: all the lfuns should have some usage doc (telling the expected

docstrings are gone in 1.4.0cvs. They were actually tooltips for the

than on a separate line although this wouldn't matter as long as the arrow was 
long enough for the text to be over it.

Anyone got any ideas?

win2k: spaces in path

[Micha Feigin]

Whats with the limitation on spaces in the path under lyx 1.3.5 for windows?

Lyx opens and exports files just fine, and same goes for miktex.
That is I can do file->export->latex and then latex file.tex works just fine
but file->export->dvi or view->dvi fails with an error that no spaces are
allowed in the path.

Things will go pear-shaped when your DVI file includes a reference to such
a file. Eg, through a \insetgraphics call. See the clean_dvi.py script at 
http://wiki.lyx.org/LaTeX/FilesWithSpecialChars

Further more, many of the scripts that ship with LyX 1.3.5 are just plain
broken when it comes to "files with spaces".

However, see the LyX 1.3.6 prerelease available at
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136pre ...

Testers wanted --- LyX 1.3.6 prerelease (Windows)

[Angus Leeming]

I've made a LyX 1.3.6 prerelease for Windows available at
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136pre .

I'm looking for a few more willing volunteers to try it out and send me bug
reports (to the lyx-devel mailing list please.)

I'm also looking for people to translate the Installer's interface into
. I've already got a French translation and I may
have a German one soon. Other languages, however, would be great too.
There are only 50 strings to translate...

As ever with pre-release software --- Caveat Emptor. Please back up your
documents before trying them out with this.

There are too many different flavours of linux to make that a 
practical proposition. Anyway, LyX on *nix should be little more than 
a pure bug fix release so I'm less worried about that. Moreover, we 
all use linux (don't we?), so it's been tested much more thoroughly 
than its Windows cousin.

Thank you.

I think its fair to say that LyX/Win 1.3.6 has been tested only in 
WinXP. I read that the installer 
( http://nsis.sourceforge.net/features/ ) is "compatible with all 
major Windows versions" (includes ME), so you should have no problems 
installing the thing. Running it? I have no idea. I'm 
ohhh-soo-ignorant of all things Windows.

Sure! Only the 55 strings in english.nsh ( http://tinyurl.com/8ukxa ) 
need translating. The bulk of the Danish translation comes 
pre-packaged with the installer.

I think that Windows users should take responsibility for a Windows 
thingie, no?

I tested it the last two days on Win2000 and it works stable.

Rule Under Center Head

[Bruce Pourciau]

Using the fancyheadings package and the fancy pagestyle, I get a center 
head underlined by a rule which, by default, seems to be the text 
width. What if I would like that rule to be shorter and still centered? 
A TeX novice, I've tried commands in the preamble aimed at adjusting 
the length of the rule, but I get the error "Missing \begin{document}" 
Any suggestions?

More Beamer Hangups

[Rich Shepard]

  I suppose that it's just me, but I'm having a terrible time with the Beamer
class in LyX-1.3.5. In addition to the -deeper issue, I cannot indent
itemized items under another itemized item and the \block command does not
produce the expected output (the first letter after the name, "block," is the
title and everything else is listed below that.)

  Have others successfully used these features within the LyX environment?
I'm not sufficiently productive trying to write this presentation.

Thanks,

Rich

Rich -

I've used the sample beamerpresentation.lyx file that comes with beamer 
as a model, and I believe it will answer most of your questions. (If 
you don't have it for some reason, I can send it to you privately.)


For example, from that file it's clear that \block requires using ERT 
to put the block title in curly braces: {Title}.


Itemized items can be nested using standard LyX command 
(Increase/Decrease Environment Depth). Your trouble may be that you 
have a pause in between; the pause "paragraph" must be indented in 
order for subsequent items to be indented as well. (Again, that this is 
the case becomes evident from studying the beamerpresentation.lyx file 
-- but it does take some detective work.)


I hope that helps.

Here it is. Two things: 1) The translation is OK, but not perfect, since I 
haven't seen the sentences in context yet, but if these strings goes into 
next pre-release I can check it out and adjust. 2) I left the ""!ifndef" 
field etc untouched.

Making installation of LyX on Windows easier is a really good thing. I'd

You already have. Many thanks for that!

I've committed your translation to the repository
http://www.lyx.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/lyx-devel/development/Win32/packaging/installer/lyx_languages/Attic/danish.nsh?rev=1.1.2.1_with_tag=BRANCH_1_3_X=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
( Equivalent URL: http://tinyurl.com/9c9oe )

I made the !ifdef changes. Note also that I changed the encoding from UTF-8 
to ISO8859-1 because NSIS doesn't support UTF-8 ATM.


I also uploaded the updated package to 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136pre (now version 7).

  Yes, I do have pauses.
