I'm using LyX 1.3.3.
You can insert a subscript with insert -- special character -- subscript.
It is a hack that will create a math inset with a subscript.
Or you can use in ERT O\textsuperscript{2}
The two solutions are not typographically equivalent, the superscript is
not placed at the same place. For abreviations superscripts like 12th for
example, or Mr. Dr., use textsuperscript for chemical symbols use a
mathematical inset.
I wish the actual superscript and subscript hacks could go away. They are a
pain when you export a LyX file to rtf (they are transformed in
mathematical formulas) and result in wrong typesetting. Lyx should default
to \textsuperscript and \textsubscript
Thanks Charles,
I tried these both, and they both worked. I chose the
Insert-Specialcharacter-superscript method for 2 reasons:
1) The 2 was visible in the LyX file, which is more clear
2) The 2 was bigger, which in this case I liked.
Thanks so much for the help.

Re: There's Something About Textclass.lst [WinXP, installing into]
Tariq Kamal wrote: Hello! I'm a relatively new user to LyX (installed it a couple of months ago in my laptop, and I've barely scratched the surface of its functionality). As it was, I figured that installing LyX into my work system would be a good idea. So I downloaded the LyXWin137preComplete-0-51.exe package for installation on my work PC (which runs Windows XP), and figured that it would not take more than half an hour to install, tops. In retrospect, using the 1.37 release might have been a mistake. The first attempt, I ended up getting this message: LyX wasn't able to find any layout description! Check the contents of the file textclass.lst Sorry, has to exit :-( Right. So I checked textclass.lst, and this is what I saw: ## This file declares layouts and their associated definition files. ## It has been automatically generated by configure ## Use Options/Reconfigure if you need to update it after a ## configuration change. Run ./configure manually to update the ## system wide version of this file. That's it. Nothing else. The other LST file, packages.lst, is at 0 bytes. I'm guessing that this isn't the normal state of affairs. This situation has persisted, even after I did the following things: From an MSYS terminal window (maybe even a cmd.exe one for all I know): cd C:/Program Files/LyX/Resources/lyx PATH TO/sh.exe configure That will generate the missing files. -- Angus
Re: Footnotes problem

This is exactly what Charles suggested - and this works, no doubt!
But because I did NOT know LyX being smart enough to interpret a

question if I had known the answer).
A thanks has to placed _inside_ a title or author and _not_
outside. If you want something only appear in the footnote
without a footnotemark, then use \footnotetext[]{...}
Well, THIS is clear to me :)
What I was referring to were the problems with inserting an ERT

Insert-ERT, \thanks{bla bla bla [EMAIL PROTECTED] This won't work! The
solution You and Charles mentioned is a working LyX-solution. The

although yours is a bit more elegant...
I have attached two files the first (test-1.lyx) containg the
non-working, the second (test-2.lyx) containg the working solution with
a url within \thanks in an ERT.
this is what I call nonsense, using LyX, but then writing
things, which LyX directly supports, with ERT.

Bibliography problem
Hi @ All,
I have encountered an interesting problem with a document with a
bibliography. I use a customised .bst file, originally created with
latex makebst.
The problem seems to related with the following two bibtex entries
created with JabRef:
@ARTICLE{br2004a,
author = br,
title = {{B}undeskanzler {S}chröder: {D}ie deutsch-russischen
{B}eziehungen
waren noch nie so gut},
journal = br_online,
year = {2004},
number = {8. Juli},
entrytype = {08.07.},
url =
{{[}http://www.bundesregierung.de/dokumente/-,413.680598/Artikel/dokument.htm,
besucht am 2. September 2005{]}},
}
@ARTICLE{br2004b,
author = br,
title = {{A}usbau der deutsch-russischen {B}eziehungen auf allen
{G}ebieten
vereinbart},
journal = br_online,
year = {2004},
number = {21. Dezember},
entrytype = {21.12.},
url =
{\[http://www.bundesregierung.de/Politikthemen/Familie_-Kinder-und-Jugend/Nachrichten-,712.763157/artikel/Ausbau-der-deutsch-russischen-.htm,
besucht am 2. September 2005\]},
}
Article-entries should be formatted as follows:
Author (Year), 'Title', Journal (in italics), vol(num), url, pages.
When the output is produced, the first entry is formatted correctly, but
the second entry has an emphasised url with extra line breaks before
and after (related to the \, I suppose).
The interesting point is, however, if I replace \[ (in the second entry)
either with [ or {[}, I'll get several LaTeX errors complaining
problems with the second entry!
I have no idea why some of these entries are working whereas the others
cause errors when producing the output. I would be glad if you could
help me to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance kind regards,
Kimmo

Re: scalable braces in math mode
Jean-Marc,
After your remark I tried it again. Unfortunately,
(whether it's surprising I don't know) but M-m
~C-~M-~S-braceleft doesn't work; but if you put
bracketleft instead, it works. My system is Windows
XP, not linux: can this be the source of the problem?
I personally solved my problem by other means, though.
Regards (and thanks for the meaning of ~ in the given
context. it seems it's not used properly in math.bind
file, or it may have to do something with windows, or
maybe... I don't know :))

Re: scalable braces in math mode (sciword.bind overhaul is needed)
Jean-Marc,
As you said you fixed the typo, I thought you may be
maintaining the binding files. Excuse me if that's not
the case. But if so, I had many problems with
sciword.bind file. As an example,
\bind C-S-bar math-delim | |
\bind C-S-brokenbar math-delim | |
\bind C-M-bar math-delim | |
None of the above works on my system. I had to change
bar's to backslash (without quotes).
Similarly,
\bind S-C-braceleft math-delim { }
\bind S-C-braceright math-delim { }
don't work, I needed bracketleft, etc.
But interestingly (I've just noticed this one), if you
replace C key with M key, you can use bar or
braceleft, etc. OK with M, but not OK with C. Isn't
this interesting?
I thought this feedback may help the maintainer.
Best regards,
Nusret

Re: Bibliography problem
Hi,
Herbert Voss, 12.12.2005 17:28:
This might be true, but this won't work, if your .bst uses the \url
command to format url-fields (as does mine).
url and \url are _two_ things! show me an example
where it doesn't work!
Well, using url={\url{site}} in a bibtex won't solve the underscore (_)
problem. If the site contains pure underscore (_) you still have to
use \_. You may try it with the attached files (test.bib,.bst,.lyx).
Kind regards,
Kimmo

Angus, what about a configure.bat script? This particular subject was about the Uwe .51 complete installer. The OP had already tried sh.exe configure and it didn't work. The OP does not have admin rights and that most likely is the problem. I do like your .bat idea. I have a configure file on my E: drive for 1.3.6 stable. The OP was able to install 1.3.6 because it does not require admin rights. I think he should utilize his 1.3.6 configure script and copy it to the 1.3.7pre5 Lyx\resource\lyx directory, because I think it is very likely that if you examine your 1.3.7pre5 configure file you'll see that the Path preview section is inflated by a ~two hundred characters. Or you could edit Path prefix later if you use the 1.3.7pre5 configure. Or maybe leave it as it may not cause damage and just be a hidden unsightly blemish. I don't think gsview installs in the .51 series without admin rights. So I found one, preview, which is shareware that does not appear to use the registry: http://www.lib-sys.com/preview.htm Since ghostscript creates the .ps file, you only really need a viewer to print the file and maybe save it to another location than Lyx's temp. So I changed the LyX default temp dir in order to use this .bat file, opening up a dos prompt and changing drives from the c:~~ prompt by typing E: enter (I installed LyX on E: in my non-admin rights test) cd e:\preview\temp cd lyx_tmpdir* cd lyx_tmpbuf* copy *.* e:\preview\temp e:\preview\preview.exe and one can use the file menu to open the contents of e:\pview\temp. I clean up afterwards by using nuke.com, a common dangerous utility. deleteps.bat: E:\preview\nuke.com e:\preview\temp md temp (a screen will appear asking the user to type Y for yes/proceed) Perhaps it can also solve the problem that the configure script is not launched in 137pre5 at installation time (I also have this problem). .bat or .cmd files can be very useful in Windows as scripts are in Linux, and they are easy to create or modify slightly. So for instance your script uses Cygwin; the Windows default is sh.exe and sed.exe originating from C:\msys\1.0\bin so a less elegant batfile than yours could read, if a prefab configure.bat file is included in the lyx1.3.7pre5 package, which unpacks to the same directory as the installation directory (since the user might change the default from c:\program files\lyx, which has its configure in ~\lyx\resources\lyx). The user can also open and type from the dos prompt from the location he has chosen for the Lyx installation: (assuming default install directory for Msys) config1.bat could contain a few simple alternatives: 1. C:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe configure (if config1.bat is in the same directory) or 2. C:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe C:\program files\lyx\resources\lyx\configure or 3. C:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe c:\lyx\resources\lyx\configure The reason I went into this is just in case a current reader has this problem which is solved with sh.exe configure, for a now fix. They can open Notepad, copy and paste the correct line for their install, change the default saving from .txt to all files and then use Save as to name the config1.bat as they please (ending with .bat though) and save it into the proper lyx\resources\lyx directory for their installation. Open a dos prompt, navigate to the directory referred to above, and type config1.bat enter at the prompt. Actually you can run 2 or 3 from what- ever directory you have saved config1.bat to, from the dos prompt, for instance from C:\documents and settings\username config1.bat enter Here is the one I use. It extracts the \path_prefix from configure to properly set up the path before calling sh.exe configure. Please, manually join the lines ending with \ to the line following them.

The H or the W? I cant see why one would set both. THe point is if you want you figure to be say 10cm wide, want to maintain the shape, and arent worried about height then you set the width and click 'maintain aspect ratio' If you are however converned with height and not width do the opposite. And finally if you want to specify a height/width ratio different from the original figure then enter values for both height and width and leave the 'maintain aspect ratio' box blank. In order to set the width or height to be calculated in proportion to the aspect ratio set the value to 0 sp. e.g. I have a 5cm wide 2cm high figure 1) I want it to be 11cm wide on the page. Set width 11cm height 0sp and clivk maitina aspct 2) I want it to be 4cm hgih. Set width 0sp height 200% and selct maintain aspect 3) I wanr it to be 11cm wide and 4cm high.

Hello,
I'm working my way through The Latex Graphics Companion
which has some renowned contributors/Goossens. Last night I
read in Section 2.3.2, Resizing to a given size, that
it is possible to specify that LaTeX material should be typeset
to a fixed horizontal or vertical dimension:
\resizebox*{h-dim}{v-dim}{material}
SH: To answer another question, the book continues,
When the aspect ratio of the material is to be maintained, then
it is enough to specify one of the dimensions, replacing the other
one with a ! sign.
SH: I don't know what the LyX mechanism is for maintaining
aspect ratio, maybe it just generates a ! symbol like in LaTeX.
This book was in my public library, so surely should be in a
local college/university library, or one can become a Friend
of the Library for $35 a year where I live. The public library
will also obtain a copy by interlibrary loan. I think a LaTeX
solution will be perceived as a bit advanced by many LyXers.
Section 2.3.1, Scaling a LaTeX box states,
The \scalebox command lets you magnify or reduce text or
other LaTeX material by a scale factor:
\scalebox{scalefact}{material}
The first of the two (mandatory) arguments, (scalefact),
specifies the factor by which both dimensions of the
_material_ are to be scaled. The following example shows
how this works. ...
A supplementary optional argument, if present, is used to
specify a separate vertical scaling factor.
\scalebox{h-scale} [v-scale] {material}
This is demonstrated in the following examples, which also
show how multiple lines can be scaled by using the standard
LaTeX \parbox command. ...
I'm under the impression that not all LaTex functionality is
implemented in the LyX front-end, so more in depth reference
material ought to be obtainable from LaTeX forums, docs or
books, which can perhaps be enabled in LyX, as Georg said.
Good luck on however you choose to pursue your endeavor,
Stephen

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but, for instance,when experimenting to get the image just right one might enter both the H and W and some point during the process. So, if one enters both an H and a W parameter, does LyX use the H and calculate the W, or does it take the W and calculate the H? I'm a little foggy on that one and I've experimented with it to no conclusion. Phil __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

I think he should utilize his 1.3.6 configure script and copy it to the 1.3.7pre5 Lyx\resource\lyx directory, because I think it is very likely that if you examine your 1.3.7pre5 configure file you'll see that the Path preview section is inflated by a ~two hundred characters.

I don't think gsview installs in the .51 series without admin rights.

However, I understand that this may be hard for most users. [...] .bat or .cmd files can be very useful in Windows as scripts are in Linux, and they are easy to create or modify slightly. So for instance your script uses Cygwin; the Windows default is sh.exe and sed.exe originating from C:\msys\1.0\bin so a less elegant batfile than yours could read, if a prefab configure.bat file is included in the lyx1.3.7pre5 package, which unpacks to the same directory as the installation directory (since the user might change the default from c:\program files\lyx, which has its configure in ~\lyx\resources\lyx). The user can also open and type from the dos prompt from the location he has chosen for the Lyx installation: (assuming default install directory for Msys) Yes, scripts are much more versatile than binaries and they may be adapted easily. The one I posted is that which I use. I didn't try to make it the most general possible as anyone can build upon it and adapt it to own needs. This is the spirit of free software, I think, and I fully agree with it. [...] Your script is certainly hugely more elegant.

Whomsoever shall create that directory, yea verily shall he/she/it own it, and have all sorts of permissions in it. I think (security on Windows has a stochastic element). So if the batch file is run under the same login id that installed the software, it should work. Maybe. (An administrator could also run it.) Paul Well, we are talking about an ordinary user and they did not create C:\program files, that is created during the initial install. The initial install is where/when the admin password is created. When I tested this with Nautilus, my toy test alterego, which has standard user rights, I could not install LyX to C:\program files\Lyx , an error message was generated with every attempted file install. I could install however, to C:\Lyx or E:\LyX with 1.3.6 (but earlier I wasn't able to install to the C:\ drive in one test) I've read various developer opinion about why MS decided to have a C:\Program files, instead of C:\programs or the German C:\programme. Nearly everybody agrees that it was either stupid or deliberate, with most thinking deliberate since it causes problems with Linux ports. I think that at the least the default LyX install should be C:\Lyx rather than adopting Microsoft propaganda. Has anyone read of a solid reason for MS creating C:\program files? They are trying to force a habit. The instructions that come with Miktex say to install to a directory without spaces, and that is the default. Likewise, I don't think runas.exe works unless you have the admin or maybe high authority user status, just like su. An ordinary user cannot use it. If you can use it, you already own sufficient permissions. There is going to be no security breach that obvious. I have installed LyX 1.3.7pre5 into C:\LyX and C:\program files\Lyx and either way, one still needs to run sh.exe configure. I also installed 1.3.7pre5 as Nautilus, an ordinary user. It would not install on the C: drive. It would install on E:\LyX and sh.exe configure also ran successfully, no admin rights needed. However, it used python24 which I installed while acting as admin. A current 137pre5 install can use python24 if it is already installed, but I've read that a non-admin user can't install python24(and maybe gsview) to start with, they have to use Python23, which is no big deal. So if the batch file is run under the same login id that installed the software, it should work. True enough, but the ordinary user can't install to C:\program files to begin with, and maybe not to C: although a batch file will work where you do manage to install LyX. Curiously, the Lyx137 install on my C: drive with admin priveleges was 30.31~mb but the 137pre5 install on the non-admin user, E: drive was 39.37mb~ So the tests seem to support Angus' view.

Lists uses lines that are shorter than the column, as some space is used up for the bullet/number/label. Very useful if you're sticking an image in a list. Using line% may be a good idea in general, the sizing will then work no matter if it is in a list, in a multicolumn text, a minipage, in a table with fixed column width - or in a standard page. actually, these abbreviations are not very logic - i can choose width = theight and hight=text - i find that confusing. No reason _not_ to be able to choose width = height or vice versa. It is useful when wanting a square layout, or something where the width really depends on the height in some other way.

You can insert a subscript with insert -- special character -- subscript.
It is a hack that will create a math inset with a subscript.

I wish the actual superscript and subscript hacks could go away. They are a

Bibliography problem
Hi @ All,

The problem seems to related with the following two bibtex entries
created with JabRef:
@ARTICLE{br2004a,
author = br,
title = {{B}undeskanzler {S}chröder: {D}ie deutsch-russischen

}
Article-entries should be formatted as follows:
Author (Year), 'Title', Journal (in italics), vol(num), url, pages.
When the output is produced, the first entry is formatted correctly, but
the second entry has an emphasised url with extra line breaks before
and after (related to the \, I suppose).
The interesting point is, however, if I replace \[ (in the second entry)
either with [ or {[}, I'll get several LaTeX errors complaining
problems with the second entry!
I have no idea why some of these entries are working whereas the others
cause errors when producing the output. I would be glad if you could
help me to solve this problem.

Re: scalable braces in math mode (sciword.bind overhaul is needed)
Jean-Marc,
As you said you fixed the typo, I thought you may be
maintaining the binding files. Excuse me if that's not
the case. But if so, I had many problems with
sciword.bind file. As an example,
\bind C-S-bar math-delim | |
\bind C-S-brokenbar math-delim | |
\bind C-M-bar math-delim | |
None of the above works on my system. I had to change
bar's to backslash (without quotes).
Similarly,
\bind S-C-braceleft math-delim { }
\bind S-C-braceright math-delim { }
don't work, I needed bracketleft, etc.
But interestingly (I've just noticed this one), if you
replace C key with M key, you can use bar or
braceleft, etc. OK with M, but not OK with C. Isn't
this interesting?
I thought this feedback may help the maintainer.

missing documentation ...?
i have been trying to figure out how the different settings in graphic-output works. what are the meaning of these ( this is not mentioned in the docs?!? ) ? text% col% page% line% theight% pheight% when to use which? moreover, when to set height and width? and when to use the maintain aspect ratio button? martin

This might be true, but this won't work, if your .bst uses the \url
command to format url-fields (as does mine).

Re: missing documentation ...?
i am still confused. page% - that is the width of the page from paper edge to paper edge? line% - that is the width from from margin to margin? or is that text% and which of these settings include footer and header - that would be pheight% as opposed to theight%? actually, these abbreviations are not very logic - i can choose width = theight and hight=text - i find that confusing. my current problem is a narrow, figure that is quite high. i would like it to be rescaled maintaining aspect ratio, but the height should be fitted to the height of the text-body - so it doesnt go over the edge of the paper, or interferes with the footer or header. evidently i have to do some pretty random things to get there. first of all, since the determining factor is the height, i need to adjust the height option - and to do that - i have to alter the width option from scale% to something else. but in doing that - i may be setting the determining factor to something width related??? but i must set the width option to something before i am allowed to set the height option so with widht=theight% height=theight% and aspect ratio selected. that results in the figure overshooting the right margin - but the bottom margin is ok. - and with width=line% and height=theight% and aspect ratio selected - and the result overshoots the bottom margin - but the right margin is ok. now, i am pretty sure that it should be possible in a reasonable amount of time to get these settings set so that both the right and bottom margin overshoots - but how to get it right? martin On 12/12/05, Geoffrey Lloyd [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, 12 Dec 2005, Martin A.

Re: Bibliography problem
Hi,
Herbert Voss, 12.12.2005 17:28:
This might be true, but this won't work, if your .bst uses the \url
command to format url-fields (as does mine).
url and \url are _two_ things! show me an example
where it doesn't work!
Well, using url={\url{site}} in a bibtex won't solve the underscore (_)
problem. If the site contains pure underscore (_) you still have to
use \_. You may try it with the attached files (test.bib,.bst,.lyx).
Kind regards,

%
% This bibliography style file requires a file named babelbst.tex
% containing the definitions of word commands like \bbleditor, etc.
%
% This is an author-year citation style bibliography. As such, it is
% non-standard LaTeX, and requires a special package file to function properly.
% Such a package isnatbib.sty by Patrick W. Daly
%
% The form of the \bibitem entries is
% \bibitem[Jones et al.(1990)]{key}...
% \bibitem[Jones et al.(1990)Jones, Baker, and Smith]{key}...
%
% The essential feature is that the label (the part in brackets) consists
% of the author names, as they should appear in the citation, with the year
% in parentheses following. There must be no space before the opening
% parenthesis!
%
% With natbib v5.3, a full list of authors may also follow the year.
% In natbib.sty, it is possible to define the type of enclosures that is
% really wanted (brackets or parentheses), but in either case, there must
% be parentheses in the label.
% The \cite command functions as follows:
% \citet{key} ==Jones et al. (1990)
% \citet*{key} == Jones, Baker, and Smith (1990)
% \citep{key} ==(Jones et al., 1990)
% \citep*{key} == (Jones, Baker, and Smith, 1990)
% \citep[chap. 2]{key} == (Jones et al., 1990, chap. 2)

that is too bad. i really should say that latex ought to be the best application to calculate the height of the caption - so i can fit the image-float on a page without overshooting anything. perhaps one could do a hack with some ERT? martin On 12/12/05, Geoffrey Lloyd [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, 12 Dec 2005, Martin A.

The OP was able to install 1.3.6 because it does not require admin rights.

Or you could edit Path prefix later if you use the 1.3.7pre5 configure. Or maybe leave it as it may not cause damage and just be a hidden unsightly blemish. I don't think gsview installs in the .51 series without admin rights. So I found one, preview, which is shareware that does not appear to use the registry: http://www.lib-sys.com/preview.htm Since ghostscript creates the .ps file, you only really need a viewer to print the file and maybe save it to another location than Lyx's temp. So I changed the LyX default temp dir in order to use this .bat file, opening up a dos prompt and changing drives from the c:~~ prompt by typing E: enter (I installed LyX on E: in my non-admin rights test) cd e:\preview\temp cd lyx_tmpdir* cd lyx_tmpbuf* copy *.* e:\preview\temp e:\preview\preview.exe and one can use the file menu to open the contents of e:\pview\temp. I clean up afterwards by using nuke.com, a common dangerous utility. deleteps.bat: E:\preview\nuke.com e:\preview\temp md temp (a screen will appear asking the user to type Y for yes/proceed) Perhaps it can also solve the problem that the configure script is not launched in 137pre5 at installation time (I also have this problem). .bat or .cmd files can be very useful in Windows as scripts are in Linux, and they are easy to create or modify slightly. So for instance your script uses Cygwin; the Windows default is sh.exe and sed.exe originating from C:\msys\1.0\bin so a less elegant batfile than yours could read, if a prefab configure.bat file is included in the lyx1.3.7pre5 package, which unpacks to the same directory as the installation directory (since the user might change the default from c:\program files\lyx, which has its configure in ~\lyx\resources\lyx). The user can also open and type from the dos prompt from the location he has chosen for the Lyx installation: (assuming default install directory for Msys) config1.bat could contain a few simple alternatives: 1. C:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe configure (if config1.bat is in the same directory) or 2. C:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe C:\program files\lyx\resources\lyx\configure or 3. C:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe c:\lyx\resources\lyx\configure The reason I went into this is just in case a current reader has this problem which is solved with sh.exe configure, for a now fix. They can open Notepad, copy and paste the correct line for their install, change the default saving from .txt to all files and then use Save as to name the config1.bat as they please (ending with .bat though) and save it into the proper lyx\resources\lyx directory for their installation.

Hello,
I'm working my way through The Latex Graphics Companion
which has some renowned contributors/Goossens. Last night I
read in Section 2.3.2, Resizing to a given size, that
it is possible to specify that LaTeX material should be typeset
to a fixed horizontal or vertical dimension:
\resizebox*{h-dim}{v-dim}{material}
SH: To answer another question, the book continues,
When the aspect ratio of the material is to be maintained, then
it is enough to specify one of the dimensions, replacing the other
one with a ! sign.
SH: I don't know what the LyX mechanism is for maintaining
aspect ratio, maybe it just generates a ! symbol like in LaTeX.
This book was in my public library, so surely should be in a
local college/university library, or one can become a Friend
of the Library for $35 a year where I live. The public library
will also obtain a copy by interlibrary loan. I think a LaTeX
solution will be perceived as a bit advanced by many LyXers.
Section 2.3.1, Scaling a LaTeX box states,
The \scalebox command lets you magnify or reduce text or
other LaTeX material by a scale factor:
\scalebox{scalefact}{material}
The first of the two (mandatory) arguments, (scalefact),
specifies the factor by which both dimensions of the
_material_ are to be scaled. The following example shows
how this works. ...
A supplementary optional argument, if present, is used to
specify a separate vertical scaling factor.
\scalebox{h-scale} [v-scale] {material}
This is demonstrated in the following examples, which also
show how multiple lines can be scaled by using the standard
LaTeX \parbox command. ...
I'm under the impression that not all LaTex functionality is
implemented in the LyX front-end, so more in depth reference
material ought to be obtainable from LaTeX forums, docs or
books, which can perhaps be enabled in LyX, as Georg said.
Good luck on however you choose to pursue your endeavor,
Stephen
Re: missing documentation ...?
I cant see why one would set both. I don't want to beat a dead horse, but, for instance,when experimenting to get the image just right one might enter both the H and W and some point during the process. So, if one enters both an H and a W parameter, does LyX use the H and calculate the W, or does it take the W and calculate the H? I'm a little foggy on that one and I've experimented with it to no conclusion. Phil __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Paul Well, we are talking about an ordinary user and they did not create C:\program files, that is created during the initial install. The initial install is where/when the admin password is created. When I tested this with Nautilus, my toy test alterego, which has standard user rights, I could not install LyX to C:\program files\Lyx , an error message was generated with every attempted file install. I could install however, to C:\Lyx or E:\LyX with 1.3.6 (but earlier I wasn't able to install to the C:\ drive in one test) I've read various developer opinion about why MS decided to have a C:\Program files, instead of C:\programs or the German C:\programme. Nearly everybody agrees that it was either stupid or deliberate, with most thinking deliberate since it causes problems with Linux ports. I think that at the least the default LyX install should be C:\Lyx rather than adopting Microsoft propaganda. Has anyone read of a solid reason for MS creating C:\program files? They are trying to force a habit. The instructions that come with Miktex say to install to a directory without spaces, and that is the default. Likewise, I don't think runas.exe works unless you have the admin or maybe high authority user status, just like su. An ordinary user cannot use it. If you can use it, you already own sufficient permissions. There is going to be no security breach that obvious. I have installed LyX 1.3.7pre5 into C:\LyX and C:\program files\Lyx and either way, one still needs to run sh.exe configure. I also installed 1.3.7pre5 as Nautilus, an ordinary user. It would not install on the C: drive. It would install on E:\LyX and sh.exe configure also ran successfully, no admin rights needed. However, it used python24 which I installed while acting as admin. A current 137pre5 install can use python24 if it is already installed, but I've read that a non-admin user can't install python24(and maybe gsview) to start with, they have to use Python23, which is no big deal. So if the batch file is run under the same login id that installed the software, it should work. True enough, but the ordinary user can't install to C:\program files to begin with, and maybe not to C: although a batch file will work where you do manage to install LyX. Curiously, the Lyx137 install on my C: drive with admin priveleges was 30.31~mb but the 137pre5 install on the non-admin user, E: drive was 39.37mb~ So the tests seem to support Angus' view.

You can put them in /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex or in ~/texmf/tex/latex for your user only. Then you have to run texhash to update TeX database. -- Andres

They mean "do not look at those modifiers". So basically, anything
that leads to a braceleft "{" character should be OK. I am surprised that
you would have to use a bracketleft "[".

It is a typo indeed. I just fixed it. Thanks. JMarc

Format->Character dialog box. There was also no subscript. I know this
can't be true -- how do I do it?
I'm using LyX 1.3.3.
You can insert a subscript with insert --> special character --> subscript.
It is a hack that will create a math inset with a subscript.
Or you can use in ERT O\textsuperscript{2}
The two solutions are not typographically equivalent, the superscript is
not placed at the same place. For abreviations superscripts like 12th for
example, or Mr. Dr., use textsuperscript for chemical symbols use a
mathematical inset.
I wish the actual superscript and subscript hacks could go away. They are a
pain when you export a LyX file to rtf (they are transformed in
mathematical formulas) and result in wrong typesetting. Lyx should default
to \textsuperscript and \textsubscript
Thanks Charles,
I tried these both, and they both worked. I chose the
Insert->Specialcharacter->superscript method for 2 reasons:
1) The 2 was visible in the LyX file, which is more clear
2) The 2 was bigger, which in this case I liked.
Thanks so much for the help.
