Re: custom layout resources for common environments
Thanks Roy. Sure I'll look at the examples, etc. I just didn't want to reinvent the wheel: if people already did create layout files for such stuff, I could happily use them though :). Well, to put it more precisely, what I meant was, in fact, the rendering on the screen of the document (by LyX, not the final output). As I said, the final output is usually satisfactory if you can fine tune enough your document within LyX, or directly in exported LaTeX file. Just to be able to explain better my point (not to advocate or advertise any software: as i said, this whole thing is cosmetic in nature), let me give an example: In the past I used Sientific Workplace writing my M.S. thesis (and I will use, hopefully, LyX in for my PhD thesis :). They used a similar layout dropdown box, but it had some of the options I mentioned. For example, if you select the Theorem environment (just as you do when you select, say, Enumerate in LyX, rendering automatically changed to an emphasized mode together with a Theorem caption, etc. This was very pleasant to my eyes. If I undestand it corectly (I started to use LyX just a few days ago, so I may be very well wrong), you can avoid gray ERT boxes if you create custom layout files. My question is whether there are such custom layout files of your own or on the web. Thank you in advance to everyone who will be willing to share: If I manage to obtain pretty layout files, I'll make them available on the web. But given that I'm still a beginner here, it may take time especially since my weekdays are somewhat busy these days. And, hell no, I don't mean talking dogs or paper clips :). They are sweet though, aren't they :)? Regards, Nusret Hi everybody, Is there a place or does anybody know a good site for custom layouts which can be used with LyX? For example, there is no theorem, corollary, proof, exercise, exam question, multiple choice test question, etc. layouts available by default. Of course this is a relatively side issue as you can get what you want in the final typeset document, but it would be nice to have visual effects on the screen as you work with LyX :). If there are such repositories on the net that you are aware of, could you let me know? Regards, Nusret Hi, I suggest you look at the following set of Wiki pages: http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Examples Also, be sure to have a look at examples, which come pre-packaged with LyX. They reside in: /lyx/examples/ where /lyx is your LyX installation directory. For theorem, corollary, proof and so forth you might have to use ERT (Insert - TeX), though there are workarounds that might suit you better. I am not too sure what you mean by visual effects on the screen as you work with LyX. As output is usually paper or a Web page, dynamicity would be gratuitous and lead to speed penalties.

Re: latex import problem
the input file all that well. You must not rely on assumptions that con- version in both ways (namely LyX - LaTeX) is non-lossy. If you collabo- i expected that the conversion wont be identical. what makes wondering is that immediatelly after import, LyX in fact HAS correct representation, i.e. is able to export it properly to latex, pdf etc., but looses this correctness via save/close/open operation, which i wouldnt expected... have a nice day pavel

Re: LyX function for German hard S?
However, in the main LyX window, we need to interpret each and every key press and so must generate the std::string from these key presses. We can't leave things to Qt. Our own, home grown key handling code is less sophisticated than Qt's, but crucially for us, we have total control over it to do lots of other stuff. That makes sense. Now I know why the behavior is different---I suppose there must be something wrong with my setup, then, if the compose key works in QT but doesn't in LyX. Will wait for the next release and hope for the best, but thanks for the explanation.

You can get the 1.4 version of lyx2lyx to revert back to 1.3.x format, actually as soon as 1.4.0 is released 1.3.7 will be released this way, with the ability to read 1.4.x files. > thanks for pointing out > pavel I hope this helps, -- José Abílio
Re: latex import problem
Actually, that page contains links to "backports". from the page: ** "tex2lyx will be part of the upcoming 1.4 release of LyX. This page page describes its use with older LyXes (such as the current stable release, LyX 1.3.x) and provides some ready-to-use packages. " *** Namely, you can find a version suitable for your LyX setup. Of course, if you want to try :). I don't even know whether it will make a difference for you, but it worked for me after some search-replace. Regards, Nusret --- Sanda Pavel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Did you try tex2lyx?

Re: LyX function for German hard S?
However, in the main LyX window, we need to interpret each and every key press and so must generate the std::string from these key presses. We can't leave things to Qt. Our own, home grown key handling code is less sophisticated than Qt's, but crucially for us, we have total control over it to do lots of other stuff. That makes sense. Now I know why the behavior is different---I suppose there must be something wrong with my setup, then, if the compose key works in QT but doesn't in LyX. Will wait for the next release and hope for the best, but thanks for the explanation.
