I can't navigate Included files from the MAIN doc

[Boris Saulnier]

Hi all,

For easier writing, I split the chapters of my thesis
in many files.
So I have a Main file (doc class=book) where I
specify my (preamble, title, author), insert (toc,
index, and biblio), and include the different chapter
files.

But the navigate menu in the Main document only shows
the content of this Main doc, and not the content of
the included chapters. Also, when viewing the TOC
(table of content) from the view menu, it only shows
the TOC of the main doc.

Remark: the TOC is ok in the dvi, .ps and .pdf files.
And choosing include or input as an include type
has no effect.

Ideas? Anyway, thank you all for your help!

My version is 1.3.7 of 17thJan2006, on

LyX on Mac --Very first draft of a visual installation guide

[Anders Ekberg]

I had an idea to create a visual installation guide for absolute  
beginners. The background is that TeX actually is very scary (300 MB  
in thousands of files...). If I shall ever persuade my parents,  
friends, etc to install LyX, I think they need a very concrete guide  
so that they can compare their screens with screen dumps.


So I created a very first attempt to such a guide, which you can find  
here:

http://www.am.chalmers.se/~anek/temp/LyX_www/LyXonMac.html

The focus is on Mac-users. I plan on continue with how to use/install  
templates, some troubleshooting and then just leave links to where  
platform independent use is described, e.g. http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ 
NewInLyX14

Hopefully it can be ready for the 1.4 release.

All comments  suggestions are welcome.

'inference rule' sign with lyx

i have got a problem, which needs to be solved urgently...

i worked always with latex-plain text before, that's why i got stuck

deadline for my excerpt is tomorrow evening.


now the problem:
how is it possible to enter this 'inference rule' sign in math mode?
to make it more clear, here a short ascii description:

 -

i tried to use the fraction sign, but looks horrible and indendation is

AFAIK, at least as of version 1.3.7, you can't get LyX to do that.  When 
you use the View menu, LyX unleashes a script that does appropriate 
graphics conversions as needed, in the temp directory.  I'm pretty sure 
the export function does *not* do equivalent conversions.




There is a file named sample.tex which resides in /texmf/doc/dvipdfm
which includes a .jpg of the author and a couple of electronic .eps images.

In 137 (but not 140pre3) I can import sample.tex with LyX and it opens
as sample.lyx. This is viewable as DVI. Under View, the file can also be
converted with the dvipdfm option to .pdf format (but not pdflatex) and
Acrobat Reader can also save this viewed file with another filename if
desired to a more convenient location. The size of the View-Save a Copy
pdf and the file created by exporting by the dvipdfm method are the same.
There is quite a bit of other stuff created in the temp directory.

If you have a way to do this in LaTeX, you should be able to open an ERT 
inset (Insert-TeX, control-L, or click the TEX button and just type 
your LaTeX code into the box (including $...$ if you need to be in math 
mode).  You could also try opening a math inset (Insert-Math-Inline or 
Display, C-m or C-S-m, or click the (a+b)/c button) and type your LaTeX 
code in there.  That method is probably a bit more trouble-prone.  It 
may not look good in the LyX GUI, but it should produce the same DVI 
output you would get working directly with LaTeX.  (If you use any 
packages to do it, they need to be loaded with appropriate \usepackage{} 
commands in Layout-Document-Preamble.)


If you don't have a LaTeX solution, you might take a look at the 
mathpartir package (http://pauillac.inria.fr/~remy/latex/).  I have not 
used it myself, but it looks as though it might do what you want.


HTH,

The information I found online about LyX mentions I can choose OzTeX as a

How to set margins with Book(koma-script)?

[John McCabe-Dansted]

Hi, I seem to be unable to set the margins for my Thesis using koma-script.

First I ticked Two-sided document but it still thinks that my inner
side is always on the left. I think my university allows me to print
single sided, but I would feel more comfortable if I could change
this.

Also when I use custom margins, the custom margins I set have no
effect. Using very wide margins does have an effect, (it stops bits
being printed off the bottom of the page).

Neither of these problems occur if I use Book(AMS).

Any Idea what it causing these problems?

The outer side is larger than the inner side. This is standardand and 
used by koma-script as default. You can enlarge the inner margin by 
setting a binding correction as option to the document class (under 
Layout - Document - Format - Options). The margin calculation 
algorithm of the LaTeX-package typearea that is used by koma-script is 
very good. To learn more about typearea and its settings I refer to the 
koma-script manual scrguien.pdf.

Dear LyXers,

The last MB of the two 222-MB (compressed) postscript files was just 
uploaded to the printer's server and my double-book (English/German) 
LyX project is done. We got proofs back  this week, made some minor 
corrections to the master LyX files (version nos. 162 and 169 
respectively) and I uploaded the PS output this evening. Each is about 
400 pages, with roughly 95 illustrations, toc, lof, and index. The 
files were edited by two people using LyX 1.3.5 on a Mac and a 
Linux-PC.

We used the following packages:
KOMA-Script Book
amsmath, crop, soul, ellipsis, scrpage2, babel, tocloft, and subfigure.

And your help.

Many thanks to all of you!

I reported something which may be similar as bug #2299
There is a file in /texmf/doc/dvipdfm/sample.tex
that I use for testing. It contains a jpeg and eps images.
I import it into LyX. With WinLyx(XP)137 it does not
convert to pdf with pdflatex as expected but it does
convert to pdf using dvipdfm (I think it invokes epstopdf).

Dvipdfm doesn't convert to pdf with LyX140pre3 and
if the problem is there then it probably persists to pre5.
I just checked and 140pre3 doesn't create sample.dvi from
sample.lyx which I guess is part of the dvipdfm to pdf problem.

If you are a Linux user, you can try starting aspell in console-mode by
entering at the command prompt:

aspell -c --encoding=iso8859-1 filename.lyx

whereby filename.lyx should be replaced by the name of the file to be
spell-checked. This works for me with documents written in Finnish and
containing special characters like ä and ö causing problems when
spellchecking is made in LyX. If your special characters are still not
recognised, you may try other encodings.

deadline for my excerpt is tomorrow evening.


now the problem:
how is it possible to enter this 'inference rule' sign in math mode?
to make it more clear, here a short ascii description:

AFAIK, at least as of version 1.3.7, you can't get LyX to do that.  When 
you use the View menu, LyX unleashes a script that does appropriate 
graphics conversions as needed, in the temp directory.  I'm pretty sure 
the export function does *not* do equivalent conversions.




There is a file named sample.tex which resides in /texmf/doc/dvipdfm
which includes a .jpg of the author and a couple of electronic .eps images.

In 137 (but not 140pre3) I can import sample.tex with LyX and it opens
as sample.lyx. This is viewable as DVI. Under View, the file can also be
converted with the dvipdfm option to .pdf format (but not pdflatex) and
Acrobat Reader can also save this viewed file with another filename if
desired to a more convenient location. The size of the View-Save a Copy
pdf and the file created by exporting by the dvipdfm method are the same.
There is quite a bit of other stuff created in the temp directory.

If you have a way to do this in LaTeX, you should be able to open an ERT 
inset (Insert-TeX, control-L, or click the TEX button and just type 
your LaTeX code into the box (including $...$ if you need to be in math 
mode).  You could also try opening a math inset (Insert-Math-Inline or 
Display, C-m or C-S-m, or click the (a+b)/c button) and type your LaTeX 
code in there.  That method is probably a bit more trouble-prone.  It 
may not look good in the LyX GUI, but it should produce the same DVI 
output you would get working directly with LaTeX.  (If you use any 
packages to do it, they need to be loaded with appropriate \usepackage{} 
commands in Layout-Document-Preamble.)


If you don't have a LaTeX solution, you might take a look at the 
mathpartir package (http://pauillac.inria.fr/~remy/latex/).  I have not 
used it myself, but it looks as though it might do what you want.


HTH,

have OzTeX, want to install LyX

The information I found online about LyX mentions I can choose OzTeX as a

already have OzTeX, or can LyX use the TeX files that come with OzTeX?

How to set margins with Book(koma-script)?

[John McCabe-Dansted]

Hi, I seem to be unable to set the margins for my Thesis using koma-script.

First I ticked Two-sided document but it still thinks that my inner
side is always on the left. I think my university allows me to print
single sided, but I would feel more comfortable if I could change
this.

Also when I use custom margins, the custom margins I set have no
effect. Using very wide margins does have an effect, (it stops bits
being printed off the bottom of the page).

Neither of these problems occur if I use Book(AMS).

Any Idea what it causing these problems?

The outer side is larger than the inner side. This is standardand and 
used by koma-script as default. You can enlarge the inner margin by 
setting a binding correction as option to the document class (under 
Layout - Document - Format - Options). The margin calculation 
algorithm of the LaTeX-package typearea that is used by koma-script is 
very good. To learn more about typearea and its settings I refer to the 
koma-script manual scrguien.pdf.

Dear LyXers,

The last MB of the two 222-MB (compressed) postscript files was just 
uploaded to the printer's server and my double-book (English/German) 
LyX project is done. We got proofs back  this week, made some minor 
corrections to the master LyX files (version nos. 162 and 169 
respectively) and I uploaded the PS output this evening. Each is about 
400 pages, with roughly 95 illustrations, toc, lof, and index. The 
files were edited by two people using LyX 1.3.5 on a Mac and a 
Linux-PC.

We used the following packages:
KOMA-Script Book
amsmath, crop, soul, ellipsis, scrpage2, babel, tocloft, and subfigure.

And your help.

Many thanks to all of you!

I reported something which may be similar as bug #2299
There is a file in /texmf/doc/dvipdfm/sample.tex
that I use for testing. It contains a jpeg and eps images.
I import it into LyX. With WinLyx(XP)137 it does not
convert to pdf with pdflatex as expected but it does
convert to pdf using dvipdfm (I think it invokes epstopdf).

Dvipdfm doesn't convert to pdf with LyX140pre3 and
if the problem is there then it probably persists to pre5.
I just checked and 140pre3 doesn't create sample.dvi from
sample.lyx which I guess is part of the dvipdfm to pdf problem.

If you are a Linux user, you can try starting aspell in console-mode by
entering at the command prompt:

aspell -c --encoding=iso8859-1 filename.lyx

whereby filename.lyx should be replaced by the name of the file to be
spell-checked. This works for me with documents written in Finnish and
containing special characters like ä and ö causing problems when
spellchecking is made in LyX. If your special characters are still not
recognised, you may try other encodings.

Either use tocloft (\tocloftpagestyle) or do something like the following:

I now see this on page six of the tocloft docs, but last night it was 
"invisible". But, in any event, trying \tocloftpagestyle{empty} caused 
the 1st and the last page of the TOC to have no page number.

> or do something like the following:

These in front of the TOC and LOF: 
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}

worked perfectly!

And should one need a third (last resort) method: last night, after a 
little careful grepping, I simply ran the Postscript output through the 
SED editor (500MB, but not a problem) and replaced the two unwanted 
page numbers with a space.

I can't navigate Included files from the MAIN doc

[Boris Saulnier]

Hi all,

For easier writing, I split the chapters of my thesis
in many files.
So I have a "Main" file (doc class="book") where I
specify my (preamble, title, author), insert (toc,
index, and biblio), and include the different chapter
files.

But the navigate menu in the Main document only shows
the content of this Main doc, and not the content of
the included chapters. Also, when viewing the TOC
(table of content) from the "view" menu, it only shows
the TOC of the main doc.

Remark: the TOC is ok in the dvi, .ps and .pdf files.
And choosing "include" or "input" as an include type
has no effect.

Ideas? Anyway, thank you all for your help!

My version is 1.3.7 of 17thJan2006, on
(win*&!*$$_2000Pro.. sorry).
I am a new LyX user: and LyX is great, no doubt! Thank
you to developpers and the community.

I think this is evidence that epstopdf ran in the background.
Ps2pdf also worked which surprised me. *was saved in another lyx_tmpbuf

Re:'inference rule' sign with lyx

[Anders Ekberg]

Would it work with either:
- matrix + spaces to separate
- insert the expression as an image (yes it's quick and dirty, but as  
a last resort...)

hey folks,

i have got a problem, which needs to be solved urgently...

i worked always with latex-plain text before, that's why i got  
stuck with lyx mode. too late to change to plain text editing  
because the deadline for my excerpt is tomorrow evening.

now the problem:
how is it possible to enter this 'inference rule' sign in math mode?
to make it more clear, here a short ascii description:

 -
  foo  bar
  -   -
 foobar
 --

i tried to use the fraction sign, but looks horrible and  
indendation is not possible.


thank you so much!

If you have a way to do this in LaTeX, you should be able to open an ERT 
inset (Insert->TeX, control-L, or click the TEX button and just type 
your LaTeX code into the box (including $...$ if you need to be in math 
mode).  You could also try opening a math inset (Insert->Math->Inline or 
Display, C-m or C-S-m, or click the (a+b)/c button) and type your LaTeX 
code in there.  That method is probably a bit more trouble-prone.  It 
may not look good in the LyX GUI, but it should produce the same DVI 
output you would get working directly with LaTeX.  (If you use any 
packages to do it, they need to be loaded with appropriate \usepackage{} 
commands in Layout->Document->Preamble.)


If you don't have a LaTeX solution, you might take a look at the 
mathpartir package (http://pauillac.inria.fr/~remy/latex/).  I have not 
used it myself, but it looks as though it might do what you want.


HTH,

/Paul

have OzTeX, want to install LyX

[David Romano]

The information I found online about LyX mentions I can choose OzTeX as a 
previewer.  My question is:  Would I still need to install teTeX if I 
already have OzTeX, or can LyX use the TeX files that come with OzTeX?

Thanks,
David Romano

How to set margins with Book(koma-script)?

[John McCabe-Dansted]

Hi, I seem to be unable to set the margins for my Thesis using koma-script.

First I ticked "Two-sided document" but it still thinks that my inner
side is always on the left. I think my university allows me to print
single sided, but I would feel more comfortable if I could change
this.

Also when I use custom margins, the custom margins I set have no
effect. Using "very wide margins" does have an effect, (it stops bits
being printed off the bottom of the page).

Neither of these problems occur if I use Book(AMS).

Any Idea what it causing these problems?

The outer side is larger than the inner side. This is standardand and 
used by koma-script as default. You can enlarge the inner margin by 
setting a binding correction as option to the document class (under 
Layout -> Document -> Format -> Options). The margin calculation 
algorithm of the LaTeX-package "typearea" that is used by koma-script is 
very good. To learn more about typearea and its settings I refer to the 
koma-script manual "scrguien.pdf".

Dear LyXers,

The last MB of the two 222-MB (compressed) postscript files was just 
uploaded to the printer's server and my double-book (English/German) 
LyX project is done. We got proofs back  this week, made some minor 
corrections to the master LyX files (version nos. 162 and 169 
respectively) and I uploaded the PS output this evening. Each is about 
400 pages, with roughly 95 illustrations, toc, lof, and index. The 
files were edited by two people using LyX 1.3.5 on a Mac and a 
Linux-PC.

We used the following packages:
KOMA-Script Book
amsmath, crop, soul, ellipsis, scrpage2, babel, tocloft, and subfigure.

And your help.

Many thanks to all of you!

-Kevin

Is anyone able to duplicate/solve this:

- Make a clean install of teTeX (using iInstaller and the packages  listed 
at http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/installing.html) and  LyX1.4pre5
- Open a document (e.g. Hollywood from the bundled template or even a 
blank document)

- Select View->PDF (dvipdfm)
- Results in an error:

In Preferences I have:

/Anders



I reported something which may be similar as bug #2299
There is a file in /texmf/doc/dvipdfm/sample.tex
that I use for testing. It contains a jpeg and eps images.
I import it into LyX. With WinLyx(XP)137 it does not
convert to pdf with pdflatex as expected but it does
convert to pdf using dvipdfm (I think it invokes epstopdf).

Dvipdfm doesn't convert to pdf with LyX140pre3 and
if the problem is there then it probably persists to pre5.
I just checked and 140pre3 doesn't create sample.dvi from
sample.lyx which I guess is part of the dvipdfm to pdf problem.

If you are a Linux user, you can try starting aspell in console-mode by
entering at the command prompt:

aspell -c --encoding=iso8859-1 filename.lyx

whereby filename.lyx should be replaced by the name of the file to be
spell-checked. This works for me with documents written in Finnish and
containing special characters like ä and ö causing problems when
spellchecking is made in LyX. If your special characters are still not
recognised, you may try other encodings.

Kind regards,
Kimmo
