 If you'd care to post the spec here, I'll take a whack at it when time

Sure. Let me start by explaining how I think it should work. A wiki author
would use a special markup to invoke the function. I'll create the markup
bit and how it parses its arguments etc. What I'd like from you is a
backend function that I can invoke to produce the listing. The markup
I'm suggesting below will have a few options/parameters, which results in
a set of requirements on the function.

Please don't feel you have to implement all of those requirements, I'll be
happy with the basics - additional requirements can be added as they are
needed. The reason I list a relatively complete specification is primarily
to get a good syntax for the markup - otherwise it's quite easy to design
a markup which can't be expanded later on. 

Also note that the markup I'm suggesting below is just that, a suggestion. 
If you have comments or would like it differently, let me know!

Anyway, I've put the description of the markup syntax and function 
specification on this wiki page:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Playground/UploadListFcn

sincere regards
/Christian

PS. Below is my original text version of it before I realized I 
should just place it on a wiki page...

--

Anyway, here's a possible syntax of the markup:

  (:uploadslist dir fmt=fmt recurse=yes|no filter=regexp:)

where

  dir optionally specifies what directory to list, relative to the 
uploads directory. Eg. 'Windows/LyX14x' would result in a listing 
of http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/LyX14x'

  fmt optionally specifies a simple listing or a detailed listing, e.g.
fmt=simple  (default, just the file name)
fmt=detailed(file name, size, date etc)
what we'd like from detailed list is unclear, I'm just guessing 
that size and modification is enough.

  recurse optionally specifies if the listing should be recursive, e.g
recurse=no  (default, just one directory)
recurse=yes (descend into subdirectories)

  filter optionally allows a filter which only lists matching files, e.g
filter='mpg$'   (only files ending with 'mpg')

This then leads to the requirements of the function... Here's how I 
imagine it:

$str = UploadListFcn($baseDir, $baseURI, $opts);

where the function should return a file listing either as a snippet of 
HTML which I'll just insert into the output, or as wiki markup. You choose 
which you feel is easiest for you. I suspect it's actually easier to do it 
by returning wiki markup, see further down for a suggestion. As for the 
arguments, here's how I imagine them:

* '$baseDir' is a string containing the *absolut* path to the top
  directory that should be listed. If there's no recursion, this will be 
  the only directory that is listed of course. For example:
$baseDir = '/home/lyx/pmwiki/uploads/Windows'
  Let me know if you'd prefer this string to always end in a '/' or not,
  or if you make the function so that it doesn't matter.

* '$baseURI' is a string containing a part of a URI, which should be
  prepended to a file link. This matches '$baseURI', e.g.
$baseURI = 'http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki/uploads/Windows'
  Same thing goes here if you'd like a '/' at the end or not.

* '$opts' is an array with the remaining options. The array will always
  have all the elements that are specified, i.e. the following:

$opts  = array( 'fmt' = $fmt,
'recurse' = $recurse,
'filter' = $filter);

  where '$fmt' is one of the strings 'simple' or 'detailed',
'$recurse' is one of the strings 'yes' or 'no',
'$filter' is a string with a regular expression (or empty)

As for the output, I don't really have much of an opinion about what it 
should look like. To me it doesn't make sense to make it too complicated. 
Here is one suggestion as to what the output could be when returned as 
wiki markup when invoked from different markups:


The markup '(:uploadslist Windows:)' results in this invocation:
UploadsListFcn('/home/lyx/pmwiki/uploads/Windows',
   'uploads:/Windows',
   array('fmt'='simple', 'recurse'='no','filter'=''));

which then returns the following:

* [[file0.txt - uploads:/Windows/file.txt]]
* [[file1.txt - uploads:/Windows/file0.txt]]
...

Here's another example when the function should recurse, based on the

No, I don't like it much either.

OTOH, since this is a public wiki, everyone are allowed to remove material
they feel is inapproriate. Or move it if they feel it should be somewhere
else. It is really only a matter of manners and courtesy to first ask on
the user's list if there's a reason for not deleting/moving it. 

Here's a suggestion for a general guideline regarding inappropriate
material on the LyX wiki:

If you see something on the wiki you feel is inapproriate, feel
free to (re)move it yourself! If you're uncertain, ask on the 
user's list about it. In fact, it's quite safe to delete first and 
ask later, as all changes to wiki pages are tracked and can be
restored.

If this guideline is acceptable I'll place it somewhere on the wiki for 
future reference.

Find and Replace with italic word

Hi All,
 I have a document in which latin characters like i.e. and e.g. are not 
italicised. Is there a way to do a find and replace on i.e. and change it to 
italics. Dealing with a latex document would have been straightforward, as i 
could have done an awk to replace these characters. However, lyx file seems a 
bit more complicated. Anybody has an idea how can i do this?

Roy, thank you, that does exactly what I want except that nothing is
simple. For some reason putting the background image in empties the TOC
in the exported PDF.  I tried ps2pdf , pdflatex and dvipdfm. The only
one which failed t work at all was pdflatex (it claimed not to recognise
the graphics file). Both ps2pdf and dvipdfm dropped the TOC.

I am using 1.4 on ubuntu. Is this likely to be a glitch in 1.4? Or
something else? (I will try it in 1.3.7 tomorrow!)

thanks again, and any further advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Bruce


Hi Bruce,

I was doing this in LyX 1.3.4 or 1.3.6. I was using this to produce slides,
so no experience with TOC collisions. I cannot think of a simple workaround
to your problem at the moment, I'm afraid.

Best wishes,

Roy

 Why?

Adding '\pagestyle{empty}' as ERT removes page numbers for everything but
the title page. In order to get rid of the the page number for the title
page, you need to add '\thispagestyle{empty}' as ERT somewhere on the
title page.  Adding it where you've put the name of the authors should
work.

So in your case, you probably want '\pagestyle{plain}' in general to get 
normal page numbers, but you want to insert '\thispagestyle{empty}' on the 
conver page to get rid of the page number on that page only.

cheers

Re: Find and Replace with italic word

[Richard Heck]

Well, one thing you can do is export the document as Latex, run your awk 
script, and then import it back into Lyx. I've done that kind of thing 
myself to make much more complicated sorts of changes. E.g., I'm working 
on a book that involves a fair bit of mathematics, and I had a lot of 
formulae that looked like this: Q^*= ab. It occurred to me long after 
I'd written most of the initial draft that I'd have been better off 
using a math-macro, but of course there's no way in Lyx to do that 
kind of search-and-replace. So I exported it to Latex, wrote a Perl 
script to handle the conversion, and re-imported. Worked like a charm.

Try this:

LatexName funky
Font
  Family  Roman
EndFont
Preamble

\newcommand{\funky}[1]{{\usefont{T1}{stacish}{m}{n}\selectfont #1}}

Note the intentional doubled braces {{, }}.  By inserting both the font 
commands and the text inside braces, we avoid having to switch back to 
ae -- which means you can use a different global font in the document 
without having to change 'ae' to something else in the command.


BTW, as best I can tell, the LatexType is ignored in character styles, 
at least to the extent that environment is treated the same as command.

How do you make a wide footer in memoir

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

My book uses the memoir document class. At the bottom of all pages not 
beginning a chapter, I need a brown stripe going all the way across the page, 
with some white writing in it. I'm using a minipage and containing a shaded 
environment, and it works, except that no matter what I do, I cannot get the 
shading to start at the left edge, but instead it starts at the left margin. 
I can \hspace{-5in} and it still starts at the margin.

This is only true when the minipage is in the footer. When ERT containing the 
minipage and shaded is placed in the body, the shaded can be started anywhere 
by preceding it with the proper \hspace{}. But that trick doesn't work in the 
footer.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Re: Don't show page numbers

Gabor, 

Interesting, 

Working in the Memoir class I could not make either \thispagestyle
{plain} or \thispagestyle{empty} work at the head of the document or in
the Author environment. On creating a DVI to view the outcome, the error
box told me that the  Resulting file is empty. The operation resulted
in an empty file. 

\thispagestyle{empty} did work in the abstract environment I that have
on the title page. 

\thispagestyle{plain}, in the same environment worked in the sense that
it permitted generation of a DVI, but did not remove the page number. 

Can you put another environment in your title page?

 I have found that it doesn't work if you put the ERT within the title
 environment (and nor does it work, of course, in the preamble). I did
 a one page article just yesterday, and putting the
 '\thispagestyle{empty}' on the first standard environment (i.e., the
 first paragraph of the article) worked fine. As someone else,
 mentioned, I would assume that it would still have worked if I had put
 it further down, but still on the title page.
 
 Report and book styles are different, however, as they don't have
 standard environments on the title page. I can't test it right now,
 but putting the ERT in the Author environment should work (as someone
 already suggested).

 If you'd care to post the spec here, I'll take a whack at it when time

Sure. Let me start by explaining how I think it should work. A wiki author
would use a special markup to invoke the function. I'll create the markup
bit and how it parses its arguments etc. What I'd like from you is a
backend function that I can invoke to produce the listing. The markup
I'm suggesting below will have a few options/parameters, which results in
a set of requirements on the function.

Please don't feel you have to implement all of those requirements, I'll be
happy with the basics - additional requirements can be added as they are
needed. The reason I list a relatively complete specification is primarily
to get a good syntax for the markup - otherwise it's quite easy to design
a markup which can't be expanded later on. 

Also note that the markup I'm suggesting below is just that, a suggestion. 
If you have comments or would like it differently, let me know!

Anyway, I've put the description of the markup syntax and function 
specification on this wiki page:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Playground/UploadListFcn

sincere regards
/Christian

PS. Below is my original text version of it before I realized I 
should just place it on a wiki page...

--

Anyway, here's a possible syntax of the markup:

  (:uploadslist dir fmt=fmt recurse=yes|no filter=regexp:)

where

  dir optionally specifies what directory to list, relative to the 
uploads directory. Eg. 'Windows/LyX14x' would result in a listing 
of http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/LyX14x'

  fmt optionally specifies a simple listing or a detailed listing, e.g.
fmt=simple  (default, just the file name)
fmt=detailed(file name, size, date etc)
what we'd like from detailed list is unclear, I'm just guessing 
that size and modification is enough.

  recurse optionally specifies if the listing should be recursive, e.g
recurse=no  (default, just one directory)
recurse=yes (descend into subdirectories)

  filter optionally allows a filter which only lists matching files, e.g
filter='mpg$'   (only files ending with 'mpg')

This then leads to the requirements of the function... Here's how I 
imagine it:

$str = UploadListFcn($baseDir, $baseURI, $opts);

where the function should return a file listing either as a snippet of 
HTML which I'll just insert into the output, or as wiki markup. You choose 
which you feel is easiest for you. I suspect it's actually easier to do it 
by returning wiki markup, see further down for a suggestion. As for the 
arguments, here's how I imagine them:

* '$baseDir' is a string containing the *absolut* path to the top
  directory that should be listed. If there's no recursion, this will be 
  the only directory that is listed of course. For example:
$baseDir = '/home/lyx/pmwiki/uploads/Windows'
  Let me know if you'd prefer this string to always end in a '/' or not,
  or if you make the function so that it doesn't matter.

* '$baseURI' is a string containing a part of a URI, which should be
  prepended to a file link. This matches '$baseURI', e.g.
$baseURI = 'http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki/uploads/Windows'
  Same thing goes here if you'd like a '/' at the end or not.

* '$opts' is an array with the remaining options. The array will always
  have all the elements that are specified, i.e. the following:

$opts  = array( 'fmt' = $fmt,
'recurse' = $recurse,
'filter' = $filter);

  where '$fmt' is one of the strings 'simple' or 'detailed',
'$recurse' is one of the strings 'yes' or 'no',
'$filter' is a string with a regular expression (or empty)

As for the output, I don't really have much of an opinion about what it 
should look like. To me it doesn't make sense to make it too complicated. 
Here is one suggestion as to what the output could be when returned as 
wiki markup when invoked from different markups:


The markup '(:uploadslist Windows:)' results in this invocation:
UploadsListFcn('/home/lyx/pmwiki/uploads/Windows',
   'uploads:/Windows',
   array('fmt'='simple', 'recurse'='no','filter'=''));

which then returns the following:

* [[file0.txt - uploads:/Windows/file.txt]]
* [[file1.txt - uploads:/Windows/file0.txt]]
...

Here's another example when the function should recurse, based on the

No, I don't like it much either.

OTOH, since this is a public wiki, everyone are allowed to remove material
they feel is inapproriate. Or move it if they feel it should be somewhere
else. It is really only a matter of manners and courtesy to first ask on
the user's list if there's a reason for not deleting/moving it. 

Here's a suggestion for a general guideline regarding inappropriate
material on the LyX wiki:

If you see something on the wiki you feel is inapproriate, feel
free to (re)move it yourself! If you're uncertain, ask on the 
user's list about it. In fact, it's quite safe to delete first and 
ask later, as all changes to wiki pages are tracked and can be
restored.

If this guideline is acceptable I'll place it somewhere on the wiki for 
future reference.

Roy, thank you, that does exactly what I want except that nothing is

the graphics file). Both ps2pdf and dvipdfm dropped the TOC.

something else? (I will try it in 1.3.7 tomorrow!)

thanks again, and any further advice would be appreciated.

Hi Bruce,

I was doing this in LyX 1.3.4 or 1.3.6. I was using this to produce slides,
so no experience with TOC collisions. I cannot think of a simple workaround
to your problem at the moment, I'm afraid.

 Why?

Adding '\pagestyle{empty}' as ERT removes page numbers for everything but
the title page. In order to get rid of the the page number for the title
page, you need to add '\thispagestyle{empty}' as ERT somewhere on the
title page.  Adding it where you've put the name of the authors should
work.

So in your case, you probably want '\pagestyle{plain}' in general to get 
normal page numbers, but you want to insert '\thispagestyle{empty}' on the 
conver page to get rid of the page number on that page only.

Re: Find and Replace with italic word

[Richard Heck]

Well, one thing you can do is export the document as Latex, run your awk 
script, and then import it back into Lyx. I've done that kind of thing 
myself to make much more complicated sorts of changes. E.g., I'm working 
on a book that involves a fair bit of mathematics, and I had a lot of 
formulae that looked like this: Q^*= ab. It occurred to me long after 
I'd written most of the initial draft that I'd have been better off 
using a math-macro, but of course there's no way in Lyx to do that 
kind of search-and-replace. So I exported it to Latex, wrote a Perl 
script to handle the conversion, and re-imported. Worked like a charm.

\newcommand{\funky}[1]{{\usefont{T1}{stacish}{m}{n}\selectfont #1}}

Note the intentional doubled braces {{, }}.  By inserting both the font 
commands and the text inside braces, we avoid having to switch back to 
ae -- which means you can use a different global font in the document 
without having to change 'ae' to something else in the command.


BTW, as best I can tell, the LatexType is ignored in character styles, 
at least to the extent that environment is treated the same as command.

How do you make a wide footer in memoir

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

My book uses the memoir document class. At the bottom of all pages not 
beginning a chapter, I need a brown stripe going all the way across the page, 
with some white writing in it. I'm using a minipage and containing a shaded 
environment, and it works, except that no matter what I do, I cannot get the 
shading to start at the left edge, but instead it starts at the left margin. 
I can \hspace{-5in} and it still starts at the margin.

This is only true when the minipage is in the footer. When ERT containing the 
minipage and shaded is placed in the body, the shaded can be started anywhere 
by preceding it with the proper \hspace{}. But that trick doesn't work in the 
footer.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Gabor, 

Interesting, 

Working in the Memoir class I could not make either \thispagestyle
{plain} or \thispagestyle{empty} work at the head of the document or in
the Author environment. On creating a DVI to view the outcome, the error
box told me that the  Resulting file is empty. The operation resulted
in an empty file. 

\thispagestyle{empty} did work in the abstract environment I that have
on the title page. 

\thispagestyle{plain}, in the same environment worked in the sense that
it permitted generation of a DVI, but did not remove the page number. 

Can you put another environment in your title page?

 I have found that it doesn't work if you put the ERT within the title
 environment (and nor does it work, of course, in the preamble). I did
 a one page article just yesterday, and putting the
 '\thispagestyle{empty}' on the first standard environment (i.e., the
 first paragraph of the article) worked fine. As someone else,
 mentioned, I would assume that it would still have worked if I had put
 it further down, but still on the title page.
 
 Report and book styles are different, however, as they don't have
 standard environments on the title page. I can't test it right now,
 but putting the ERT in the Author environment should work (as someone
 already suggested).

Sure. Let me start by explaining how I think it should work. A wiki author
would use a special markup to invoke the function. I'll create the markup
bit and how it parses its arguments etc. What I'd like from you is a
"backend" function that I can invoke to produce the listing. The markup
I'm suggesting below will have a few options/parameters, which results in
a set of requirements on the function.

Please don't feel you have to implement all of those requirements, I'll be
happy with the basics - additional requirements can be added as they are
needed. The reason I list a relatively complete specification is primarily
to get a good syntax for the markup - otherwise it's quite easy to design
a markup which can't be expanded later on. 

Also note that the markup I'm suggesting below is just that, a suggestion. 
If you have comments or would like it differently, let me know!

Anyway, I've put the description of the markup syntax and function 
specification on this wiki page:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Playground/UploadListFcn

sincere regards
/Christian

PS. Below is my original text version of it before I realized I 
should just place it on a wiki page...

--

Anyway, here's a possible syntax of the markup:

  (:uploadslist  fmt= recurse= filter=:)

where

   optionally specifies what directory to list, relative to the 
uploads directory. Eg. 'Windows/LyX14x' would result in a listing 
of http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/LyX14x'

   optionally specifies a simple listing or a detailed listing, e.g.
fmt=simple  (default, just the file name)
fmt=detailed(file name, size, date etc)
what we'd like from detailed list is unclear, I'm just guessing 
that size and modification is enough.

   optionally specifies if the listing should be recursive, e.g
recurse=no  (default, just one directory)
recurse=yes (descend into subdirectories)

   optionally allows a filter which only lists matching files, e.g
filter='mpg$'   (only files ending with 'mpg')

This then leads to the requirements of the function... Here's how I 
imagine it:

$str = UploadListFcn($baseDir, $baseURI, $opts);

where the function should return a file listing either as a snippet of 
HTML which I'll just insert into the output, or as wiki markup. You choose 
which you feel is easiest for you. I suspect it's actually easier to do it 
by returning wiki markup, see further down for a suggestion. As for the 
arguments, here's how I imagine them:

* '$baseDir' is a string containing the *absolut* path to the "top"
  directory that should be listed. If there's no recursion, this will be 
  the only directory that is listed of course. For example:
$baseDir = '/home/lyx/pmwiki/uploads/Windows'
  Let me know if you'd prefer this string to always end in a '/' or not,
  or if you make the function so that it doesn't matter.

* '$baseURI' is a string containing a part of a URI, which should be
  prepended to a file link. This matches '$baseURI', e.g.
$baseURI = 'http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki/uploads/Windows'
  Same thing goes here if you'd like a '/' at the end or not.

* '$opts' is an array with the remaining options. The array will always
  have all the elements that are specified, i.e. the following:

$opts  = array( 'fmt' => $fmt,
'recurse' => $recurse,
'filter' => $filter);

  where '$fmt' is one of the strings 'simple' or 'detailed',
'$recurse' is one of the strings 'yes' or 'no',
'$filter' is a string with a regular expression (or empty)

As for the output, I don't really have much of an opinion about what it 
should look like. To me it doesn't make sense to make it too complicated. 
Here is one suggestion as to what the output could be when returned as 
wiki markup when invoked from different markups:


The markup '(:uploadslist Windows:)' results in this invocation:
UploadsListFcn('/home/lyx/pmwiki/uploads/Windows',
   'uploads:/Windows',
   array('fmt'=>'simple', 'recurse'='no','filter'=>''));

which then returns the following:

* [[file0.txt -> uploads:/Windows/file.txt]]
* [[file1.txt -> uploads:/Windows/file0.txt]]
...

Here's another example when the function should recurse, based on the

No, I don't like it much either.

OTOH, since this is a public wiki, everyone are allowed to remove material
they feel is inapproriate. Or move it if they feel it should be somewhere
else. It is really only a matter of manners and courtesy to first ask on
the user's list if there's a reason for not deleting/moving it. 

Here's a suggestion for a general guideline regarding inappropriate
material on the LyX wiki:

If you see something on the wiki you feel is inapproriate, feel
free to (re)move it yourself! If you're uncertain, ask on the 
user's list about it. In fact, it's quite safe to delete first and 
ask later, as all changes to wiki pages are tracked and can be
restored.

If this guideline is acceptable I'll place it somewhere on the wiki for 
future reference.

best regards

Find and Replace with italic word

could have done an awk to replace these characters. However, lyx file seems a 
bit more complicated. Anybody has an idea how can i do this?

I don't understand this.

It doesn't work either.

Then I have checked with google, and found what it is supposed to do.

Now I have a \pagestyle{empty} right at the beginning of my document. And

Roy, thank you, that does exactly what I want except that nothing is
simple. For some reason putting the background image in empties the TOC
in the exported PDF.  I tried ps2pdf , pdflatex and dvipdfm. The only
one which failed t work at all was pdflatex (it claimed not to recognise
the graphics file). Both ps2pdf and dvipdfm dropped the TOC.

I am using 1.4 on ubuntu. Is this likely to be a glitch in 1.4? Or
something else? (I will try it in 1.3.7 tomorrow!)

thanks again, and any further advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Bruce,

I was doing this in LyX 1.3.4 or 1.3.6. I was using this to produce slides,
so no experience with TOC collisions. I cannot think of a simple workaround
to your problem at the moment, I'm afraid.

Adding '\pagestyle{empty}' as ERT removes page numbers for everything but
the title page. In order to get rid of the the page number for the title
page, you need to add '\thispagestyle{empty}' as ERT somewhere on the
title page.  Adding it where you've put the name of the authors should
work.

So in your case, you probably want '\pagestyle{plain}' in general to get 
normal page numbers, but you want to insert '\thispagestyle{empty}' on the 
conver page to get rid of the page number on that page only.

Re: Find and Replace with italic word

[Richard Heck]

Well, one thing you can do is export the document as Latex, run your awk 
script, and then import it back into Lyx. I've done that kind of thing 
myself to make much more complicated sorts of changes. E.g., I'm working 
on a book that involves a fair bit of mathematics, and I had a lot of 
formulae that looked like this: Q^*= ab. It occurred to me long after 
I'd written most of the initial draft that I'd have been better off 
using a "math-macro", but of course there's no way in Lyx to do that 
kind of search-and-replace. So I exported it to Latex, wrote a Perl 
script to handle the conversion, and re-imported. Worked like a charm.

\newcommand{\funky}[1]{{\usefont{T1}{stacish}{m}{n}\selectfont #1}}

Note the intentional doubled braces {{, }}.  By inserting both the font 
commands and the text inside braces, we avoid having to switch back to 
ae -- which means you can use a different global font in the document 
without having to change 'ae' to something else in the command.


BTW, as best I can tell, the LatexType is ignored in character styles, 
at least to the extent that environment is treated the same as command.

How do you make a wide footer in memoir

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

My book uses the memoir document class. At the bottom of all pages not 
beginning a chapter, I need a brown stripe going all the way across the page, 
with some white writing in it. I'm using a minipage and containing a shaded 
environment, and it works, except that no matter what I do, I cannot get the 
shading to start at the left edge, but instead it starts at the left margin. 
I can \hspace{-5in} and it still starts at the margin.

This is only true when the minipage is in the footer. When ERT containing the 
minipage and shaded is placed in the body, the shaded can be started anywhere 
by preceding it with the proper \hspace{}. But that trick doesn't work in the 
footer.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Gabor, 

Interesting, 

Working in the Memoir class I could not make either \thispagestyle
{plain} or \thispagestyle{empty} work at the head of the document or in
the Author environment. On creating a DVI to view the outcome, the error
box told me that the  "Resulting file is empty. The operation resulted
in an empty file". 

\thispagestyle{empty} did work in the abstract environment I that have
on the title page. 

\thispagestyle{plain}, in the same environment worked in the sense that
it permitted generation of a DVI, but did not remove the page number. 

Can you put another environment in your title page?
