The ifthen latex package is your friend here.

In the LaTeX preamble (FormatDocumentLatex Preamble) insert

\usepackage{ifthen}

% create toggles
\newboolean{students} % print students parts?  TRUE|FALSE
\newboolean{teachers} % print teachers parts?  TRUE|FALSE
\newboolean{CDscript} % print CDscript parts?  TRUE|FALSE

% print everything by default
\setboolean{students}{true}
\setboolean{teachers}{true}
\setboolean{CDscript}{true}


and in the document, include the relevant parts with ERT boxes
(red latex text press Ctrl-l to get it) containing

  \ifthenelse{\boolean{students}}{}{

and  

  }
  
.

 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.

There are 2 options: You change in the preamble or in an ERT box at the
top of your document e.g.

  \setboolean{students}{false}
  \setboolean{CDscript}{false}

to get the teachers script. (And change and print again for all other
versions.)

Or you create wrappers for all versions that contain the right preamble
and include the main content (InsertFileLyX-Document). In this case,
the inserted file should not contain the setup code in the preamble, as
this would override the wrapper setting.

About Beamer and Lyx

Hi everybody
  I think there is something wrong with Beamer class and Lyx. I have already

If you can live with some ERT, consider the listings package.
It lets you list source code files, it parses many programming
languages (including java). You can select how different
items (keywords, commands, separators, and so on) should
be highlighted, so you can have colors if you want that.

The colors won't be there on screen when you edit, but
they will appear in print as well as view-pdf.

  When I trimmed a lot of the template's end off my presentation the
\endframe went with it. I saw the same error message. It was an easy fix: go
to the end of the presentation, press [Enter] to generate a new line, and
change the environment from standard to EndFrame. That fixed it right up and
I'm now aware of keeping that command in place.

Lyx template for ACS (World Scientific)

[Cheng-shan Frank Liu]

Dear Lyx Team:

I am writing a paper and preparing to submit it to Advances in Complex 
Systems (ACS), a journal published by World  Scientific. I found that 
the format of ACS is consistent with International Journal of Modern 
Physics D (also published by ws), which is supported by the ijmpd 
package (described 
herehttp://nuclear.gla.ac.uk/computing/LyX_doc/Extended.html#tth_chAp1). 
The only difference is the format of references.


Could you give me a hint how to modify the ijmpd package so that I can 
use the new template for ACS? If the modification is not possible, could 
you help create such a template?


The ACS's LaTeX template files can be found here: 
http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/ACS/TemplateFiles.html


Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Frank Liu

If it is only the references you can use the ijmp layout and use the abbrv for 
your bibtex references. 

 Could you give me a hint how to modify the ijmpd package so that I can

 you help create such a template?

 The ACS's LaTeX template files can be found here:
 http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/ACS/TemplateFiles.html

However, if you want to make a layout file for  ACS you can do that offcourse.

Download and install the the  ws-acs.cls in your latex tree. Run texhash (if 
you use tetex). Copy your (your path may 
vary) /usr/local/share/lyx/layout/ijmpd.layout  
to /usr/local/share/lyx/layout/ws-acs.layout and change the second line from
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[ws-ijmpd]{article (ijmpd)}
to
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[ws-acs]{article (ws-acs)}
save the file. Run reconfigure in LyX from Edit-reconfigure and restart Lyx 
and chose article(ws-acs).

This should work if there are no other differences between the two. But I have 
not tried, so no guarantees :).

Clean EPS Files

lyx 1.3.5 install under debian/kanotox

I try to install lyx-1.3.5-1fc2 xforms.i386.rpm under debian/kanotix

using alien -i lyx-1.3.5-1fc2_xforms.i386.rpm

I get:
trying to overwrite /usr/bib/reLyx, which is also in the package lyx-common, 
the subprocess paste is killed with signal (data transfer interrupted (broken 
pipe)
(sorry, I translated it from German, hope its alright)

I removed therefore the file reLyx, made sure it is removed, and tried again 
with   alien -i lyx-1.3.5-1fc2_xforms.i386.rpm, but get the same error 
message as before. 
How comes, although reLyx is removed?

Do I have to do something additional after removing?

Re: Clean EPS Files

[Geoffrey Lloyd]

When you save an eps, definately in photoshop 6 and also in Illustrator 11, 
you have the option of what sort of preview you want to have - usually you 
choose a file name, click save and then up pops a box of eps specific 
options. In here you can just choose 'none' for the preview bit.


In my experience the previews have caused no problems in Lyx but as they 
aren't necessary I select none.

Previewing Figures

Hi.
If I make changes to an eepic picture that is created in a separate file and

You don't need to convert LyX with alien. LyX is an official Debian Sid

Re: Conditional printing

Thank you Gunter. I didn't really understand because it's all new to me,
but I just followed your instructions and it worked!! Hurray!!

But I don't really follow the wrapper idea: you wrote

Or you create wrappers for all versions that contain the right preamble
and include the main content (InsertFileLyX-Document). In this case,
the inserted file should not contain the setup code in the preamble, as
this would override the wrapper setting.

What is a wrapper? It sounds like a separate file with some preamble- but what 
is the right preamble?
Do I need to have 3 different wrappers (students, teachers, CDscript)? With 
different preambles in each?
What is the main content in each wrapper?

Thanks again!

thesis initial pages numbering and title page

[Vaibhav Srivastava]

HI all,
a)  Does anyone have a template for the title page of a thesis. Is there 
a easier way to do it the lyx way rather than using latex tempates
b) It is required that arabic numbering starts only from the chapters 
and pages before that are numbered in the roman numerals . How can that 
be done. I am using the article class for my thesis.
c) How does one force something to start from a fresh page. Inserting a 
page break does not work.


Thanks,
Vaibhav

If you can live with some ERT, consider the listings package.
It lets you list source code files, it parses many programming
languages (including java). You can select how different
items (keywords, commands, separators, and so on) should
be highlighted, so you can have colors if you want that.

The colors won't be there on screen when you edit, but

Lyx template for ACS (World Scientific)

[Cheng-shan Frank Liu]

Dear Lyx Team:

I am writing a paper and preparing to submit it to Advances in Complex 
Systems (ACS), a journal published by World  Scientific. I found that 
the format of ACS is consistent with International Journal of Modern 
Physics D (also published by ws), which is supported by the ijmpd 
package (described 
herehttp://nuclear.gla.ac.uk/computing/LyX_doc/Extended.html#tth_chAp1). 
The only difference is the format of references.


Could you give me a hint how to modify the ijmpd package so that I can 
use the new template for ACS? If the modification is not possible, could 
you help create such a template?


The ACS's LaTeX template files can be found here: 
http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/ACS/TemplateFiles.html


Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Frank Liu

Re: Clean EPS Files

When you save an eps, definately in photoshop 6 and also in Illustrator 11,

Hi.
If I make changes to an eepic picture that is created in a separate file and

not updated when I do update postscript.

How can I make the changes in the eepic files turn up in the final postscript?

You don't need to convert LyX with alien. LyX is an official Debian Sid

Re: Conditional printing

[Richard Brown]

Thank you Gunter. I didn't really understand because it's all new to me,
but I just followed your instructions and it worked!! Hurray!!

But I don't really follow the wrapper idea: you wrote

Or you create wrappers for all versions that contain the right preamble
and include the main content (InsertFileLyX-Document). In this case,
the inserted file should not contain the setup code in the preamble, as
this would override the wrapper setting.

What is a wrapper? It sounds like a separate file with some preamble- but what 
is the right preamble?
Do I need to have 3 different wrappers (students, teachers, CDscript)? With 
different preambles in each?
What is the main content in each wrapper?

Thanks again!

thesis initial pages numbering and title page

[Vaibhav Srivastava]

HI all,
a)  Does anyone have a template for the title page of a thesis. Is there 
a easier way to do it the lyx way rather than using latex tempates
b) It is required that arabic numbering starts only from the chapters 
and pages before that are numbered in the roman numerals . How can that 
be done. I am using the article class for my thesis.
c) How does one force something to start from a fresh page. Inserting a 
page break does not work.


Thanks,

The same problem was reported on this list (or lyx-devel) some days
ago but noone knew an answer :-( Is this with LyX on Windows? Could you
report the LyX version and Qt version ...

I once had a problem with the layouts drop down list that related to a

LyX directory? If so, does temporarily renaming this directory to another

About Beamer and Lyx

[max]

Hi everybody
  I think there is something wrong with Beamer class and Lyx. I have already 
found in the mailing list someone else having the same problems but I could 
not find the solution. In my case I have started to prepare a presentation 
(just title, authors and Outline section) and  wanted to check if everything 
was ok. Therefore I have choosed View->PDF(pdflatex) and the error issued by 
latex was

Undefined control sequence.
 \lyxframeend
 {}\section*{Outline}

etc...

I have compared a working presentation with this one and I have found in the 
Latex exported file that section

%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
 \AtBeginDocument{
   \let\origtableofcontents=\tableofcontents
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
{\gobbletableofcontents}}
   \def\gobbletableofcontents#1{\origtableofcontents}

 \newenvironment{topcolumns}{\begin{columns}[t]}{\end{columns}}
 \def\lyxframeend{} % In case there is a superfluous frame end

was missing. These commands are defined in the beamer.layout file and I 
suppose they should be inserted by Lyx in the temporary Latex file.
The question is: why does Lyx sometimes export these commands and sometime it 
does not? I have exported today both presentations, I suppose there are some 
minor details in the skeleton presentation which issue an internal error in 
Lyx.
Thanks a lot

in an two column article with some figures spanning both columns and
some not - i cant get the figures placed the way i want them. i want the
figures placed in numeric order and before the reference section. the
default float placement is not ok (figure numbers are ok in the text,
but figure 3 comes before figure 2). changing the float placement to

When you save an eps, definately in photoshop 6 and also in

to have - usually you choose a file name, click save and then up pops 
a box of eps specific options. In here you can just choose 'none' for 
the preview bit.


In my experience the previews have caused no problems in Lyx but as 
they aren't necessary I select none.

Subject: Clean EPS Files


A while back on this list, I read that Photoshop by default saves eps 
files with an embedded tiff preview (which causes problems for 
LaTex), but that there is a way to force Photoshop to create a clean 
eps file. Does anyone know how to do this in Photoshop?

Previewing Figures

[Bruce Pourciau]

A LyX file with inserted eps figures prints fine, but only if I print 
directly from LyX. Normally I preview in and print from Preview (on my 
Mac), but running pdflatex on my LyX file gives me this LaTex error 
message: "I could not locate the file with any of these extensions: 
.png, .pdf, .mps, .tif


How do I preview and print from Preview when my LyX file contains eps 
figures?

If you have eps graphics use "latex" (View...PDF) not "pdflatex"

modified eepic pictures are not altered in ps preview

[Gunnar]

Hi.
If I make changes to an eepic picture that is created in a separate file and 
included in LyX by the \parpic and \input commands in an ERT, the picture is 
not updated when I do "update postscript".

How can I make the changes in the eepic files turn up in the final postscript?

You don't need to convert LyX with alien. LyX is an official Debian Sid 
package. Try "apt-get install lyx". Or compile it from source if you need the 
latest version.

Re: Conditional printing

[Richard Brown]

Thank you Gunter. I didn't really understand because it's all new to me,
but I just followed your instructions and it worked!! Hurray!!

But I don't really follow the "wrapper" idea: you wrote

Or you create wrappers for all versions that contain the "right" preamble
and include the main content (Insert>File>LyX-Document). In this case,
the inserted file should not contain the setup code in the preamble, as
this would override the wrapper setting.

What is a wrapper? It sounds like a separate file with some preamble- but what 
is the "right preamble"?
Do I need to have 3 different wrappers (students, teachers, CDscript)? With 
different preambles in each?
What is the "main content" in each wrapper?

Thanks again!

Richard

PS - sorry to everyone because I haven't yet worked out how to get my
posts in the thread. It's all very new, but I'm trying to learn

thesis initial pages numbering and title page

[Vaibhav Srivastava]

HI all,
a)  Does anyone have a template for the title page of a thesis. Is there 
a easier way to do it the "lyx way" rather than using latex tempates
b) It is required that arabic numbering starts only from the chapters 
and pages before that are numbered in the roman numerals . How can that 
be done. I am using the article class for my thesis.
c) How does one force something to start from a fresh page. Inserting a 
page break does not work.


Thanks,
Vaibhav

Re: thesis initial pages numbering and title page

[Nicolás]

Just try searching for "Lyx" + "thesis" in Google. You will get several 
thesis layouts for Lyx. Maybe some of them fits you
