Re: Help with installing lyx under windows XP
Hello Paul, and all the others who gave suugestions as well Thanks for the marvellous level of support - way beyond anything I've ever experienced with commercial software - as well as encouragement. The problem seems to have been the old version of sed, as well as an empty version of textclass.lst that somehow happened elsewhere on the HD as a result either of the installation or of my half-baked attempts to get it right. I now have the opening splash screen and a whole program menu to play with, as well as a free Sunday morning... oh happy day! Thanks again to all Richard Paul A. Rubin wrote: Richard Brown wrote: Thanks for your reply. I didn't intervene in the directory structure at all as far as I remember, but anyway I renamed the directory where it was, and ran the installation .exe again. (This was lyx-1.3.5-win32-nc.exe) with the following result: in C: I now have C:\lyx which contains bin, lib, man, share, tmp directories. I did nothing- the exe did this. This looks fine. The C:\lyx\bin subdirectory contains the lyx.exe program. In the c:\lyx\share subdirectory I find 2 more sub-subdirectories, one called locale (which seems to have a lot of other language stuff) and another called lyx (so this is c:\lyx\share\lyx ) which has packages.lst and textclass.lst files in. Neither is empty. The first four lines of textclass.lst are typical of the rest, and look like this-: IEEEtran IEEEtran article (IEEEtran) true aa aa article (AA) false aapaper aa article (AA V4) false aastex aastex article (AASTeX) true This is as it should be. When I run lyx, I still get the same error. I tried copying lyx.exe to the same directory as the textclass.lst files, and it was just the same. I tried copying the entire contents of the c:\lyx\share\lyx subdirectory to teh same place as the lyx.exe (ie, C:\lyx\bin) and it made no difference. The error still says LyX wasnt able to find any layout description Check the contents of the file textclass.lst Sorry, has to exit I'm way out of my depth here. Thanks for any help you may be able to give. Richard The error message typically occurs when either textclass.lst does not exist (anywhere) or textclass.lst exists but has length zero bytes (and *that* typically happens as a result of a problem with the configuration script). Now, if there's no textclass.lst in the directory where LyX starts (which is not necessarily the bin directory), then LyX should find the copy in lyx\share\lyx and start ok (I just verified this on my laptop). On the other hand, if you have a zero-length copy in the startup directory and a valid copy in lyx\share\lyx, you get the error (also just verified). So my best guess is that there is in fact a zero byte version sitting around somewhere. So here are a couple of things to try: 1. Search your PC for all copies of textclass.lst (either using the Windows search utility or by opening a command window and typing 'dir c:\textclass.lst /s'), and see if any copies with length zero show up. That will help pin down where LyX is starting, if in fact we find one. 2. Create a starting document directory (for instance, c:\lyx\work), copy the textclass.lst and paste the copy in there. While you're at it, copy packages.lst, clsfiles.lst, styfiles.lst and lyxrc.default from lyx\share\lyx into the work directory as well. (Not all of those may exist -- some are created by a successful configuration run, and I'm still not sure whether you've had one.) Now create a shortcut to the lyx.exe file (you can right-click it in Win Explorer and create the shortcut from the context menu that pops up). Now right-click the shortcut, choose Properties, and on the Shortcut tab set the target and startup entries as follows: Target: C:\lyx\bin\lyx.exe -userdir c:\lyx\work Start in: C;\lyx\bin (the second one should already be filled in correctly, but just to be sure ...). Click ok and then try to start LyX by double-clicking the shortcut. Does that help? One other thing to check: open a command prompt in c:\lyx\bin and type 'sed --version'. If the version number starts with a 3, you're using the copy of sed that came with the LyX installer, and it's known to fail in a way that leaves a zero-length textclass.lst. There's a tip on the Wiki about where to find a more recent copy of sed. Note that what you download when you follow the link from the Wiki is an *installer* that has to be run to install sed. (Some people have gotten confused and thought they were downloading sed.exe itself.) Let us know what transpires. -- Paul

Hello LYX people. I'd be very greatful for a few pointers on how to do the following- bearing in mind that I'm an advanced technical idiot, and have been using Lyx for just 8 hours! Nevertheless, I'm sure it must be possible. This is likely to be quite a long post- apologies in advance! I write educational material; and the material in its published form comes in three separate bits: the students' book, the teacher's book, and the CD. In the past I've had to write each separately, in separate files, and keeping it all together and cross referencing it is a nightmare. It would be much easier to write it all together, in one file, and then have the software separate it out when it is all finished. The basic element of everything is the exercise. The Students' Book is composed of a large number of exercises, organised into Units. Each exercise has 1)an introduction which may be in stages, and 2) a task. Each exercise has corrisponding elements in the teacher's book: the teacher's book elements are 1) set-up instructions 2) solutions to the task and 3) follow up instructions. Some of the exercises also have a script - as in filmscript - of the material on the CD. What I'd like to be able to do is write all the elements for each exercise at the same time in the same file, defining them as students book, teachers book CD stuff as I go, so that everything is checkable as I write it, and is co-ordinated. Then, when I come to print it, to have the software automatically understand where the elements go, and print it to the right file so that I end up with 4 files: the master, the students book, the teachers book and the CD script. All properly cross-reefernced. Am I asking for too much? Can it be done, and how? Thanks for your time and help, Richard Brown

Re: user-defined section and subsection's numbering
SN M wrote:
I need to change the numbering of section/subsection
heading in my document created using latex.
Specifically, I need to create the heading with the
numbering as a user-defined combination of Uppercase &
lowercase letter and/or arabic numerals.
For example, I would like to specficially define what
goes into the numbering part of each
section's and subsection's heading",as:
NY New York [section's heading]
NY-1 Queens [subsection's heading]
NY-2 Manhattan
NJ New Jersey [section's heading]
NJ-1 [subsection's heading]
NJ-2
The numbering is defined as 'NY' for the fist
section's heading and 'NJ' for the second sectino's
heading.
The section heading are necessary to be alphabetical
order.
What do I need to do in order to define the numbering
part of each section's heading separately?
-Sai
1. In the preamble (Layout->Document->Preamble), enter
"\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\thesection-\arabic{subsection}}"
(without the quotes).
2. In the text prior to the start of the New York section, add as ERT
"\renewcommand{\thesection}{NY}" (again without the quotes). Repeat for
each section.
Alphabetical order is up to you.

Yes. Put a standard text paragraph with 'nothing' in between, i.e.
{} in an ERT inset or such.

Hello LYX people. I'd be very greatful for a few pointers on how to do the following- bearing in mind that I'm an advanced technical idiot, and have been using Lyx for just 8 hours! Nevertheless, I'm sure it must be possible. This is likely to be quite a long post- apologies in advance! I write educational material; and the material in its published form comes in three separate bits: the students' book, the teacher's book, and the CD. In the past I've had to write each separately, in separate files, and keeping it all together and cross referencing it is a nightmare. It would be much easier to write it all together, in one file, and then have the software separate it out when it is all finished. The basic element of everything is the exercise. The Students' Book is composed of a large number of exercises, organised into Units. Each exercise has 1)an introduction which may be in stages, and 2) a task. Each exercise has corrisponding elements in the teacher's book: the teacher's book elements are 1) set-up instructions 2) solutions to the task and 3) follow up instructions. Some of the exercises also have a script - as in filmscript - of the material on the CD. What I'd like to be able to do is write all the elements for each exercise at the same time in the same file, defining them as "students book", "teachers book" "CD stuff" as I go, so that everything is checkable as I write it, and is co-ordinated. Then, when I come to print it, to have the software automatically understand where the elements go, and print it to the right file so that I end up with 4 files: the master, the students book, the teachers book and the CD script. All properly cross-reefernced. Am I asking for too much? Can it be done, and how? Thanks for your time and help, Richard Brown

Actually, Andre', it is not necessary to insert {}; it is only
necessary to have an empty ERT.
