(http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/longtable.html) Yes, longtable will work for this. And lyx supports it too: 1. Insert a table directly into the document. Don't use a float! 2. Bring up the table's dialog box. One of the pages lets you check the longtable option. Now the table will break nicely over as many pages as needed! 3. If you want to, you can have table headers and/or footers that repeat automatically on every new page. You may also have a first header and a final footer. Put the cursor on the correct table line, then use the table dialog to turn it into a special longtable header/footer line. 4. The table dialog also let you do other useful stuff, such as setting columns to be centered or left or right justified, and turn tabular lines on and off. And you can have fixed-width columns if you like. Helge Hafting

Re: Hyphenation talk
Declan O'Byrne wrote: Hi all, Could anyone offer me a brief introduction to hyphenation in lyx. In practice, I'm getting un-hyphenated documents, and I'm trying to understand why. Are the rules of hyphenation based on some package that I haven't invoked? Where do I go to understand what's wrong? 1. Make sure you have selected the correct langauge for your document. (Look at the language setting in the document settings.) 2. Try running texconfig, and check if hyphenation for your language of choice is installed and enabled. I don't see anything of apparent relevance in the preamble, or in any of the menus... but maybe I'm overlooking the obvious? Another check: Export-latex Then, run latex myfile.tex from the command line. You should now get a myfile.log too, which details what happened. Lyx will also make this logfile when you do view-dvi or view-pdf, but it happens somewhere in /tmp. Read the logfile. In the beginning, you should get something like: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) (format=latex 2006.3.30) 10 APR 2006 14:30 entering extended mode **myfile.tex (./myfile.tex LaTeX2e 2003/12/01 Babel v3.8d and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, ngerman, b ahasa, basque, bulgarian, catalan, croatian, czech, danish, dutch, esperanto, e stonian, finnish, greek, icelandic, irish, italian, latin, magyar, norsk, polis h, portuges, romanian, russian, serbian, slovak, slovene, spanish, swedish, tur kish, ukrainian, nohyphenation, loaded.

With your permission I include the latex logfile from the testing document. Questions is: what's going wrong? Thanks, Looks like you're typesetting a document with no language: Babel v3.8d and hyphenation patterns for loaded. Between for and loaded, there should be at least one language, i.e. the language you use. Possibly more, if you install support for several languages. Looks like your latex doesn't support hyphenation at all - probably because it isn't installed or misconfigured. 0 hyphenation exceptions out of 8191 Very little hyphenation data here . . . I use debian, but it is supposed to be similiar to ubuntu. Try running texconfig, check out the hyphenation menu. It could be as simple as enabling support for your language. If you have to look for packages, consider: apt-cache search latexh hyphen If you're using texlive, install the correct texlive-lang-language package. If you're using tetex, then tetex-base should be enough. The only thing you do in lyx, is to select the correct language. Then latex is supposed to do the rest. If you get tired of setting the language all the time, set it as default. Helge Hafting
LyX 1.4.1 is released
Public release of LyX version 1.4.1 === We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.1. This is a bug fix release, but some of the bugs were big. In particular: - fix the huge memory consumption and corresponding sluggishness with documents containing many graphics or `instant preview' snippets. - fix slow screen update with nested insets, particularly with LyX/Mac. - fix the delay when exiting from a math inset. - let the change tracking code track paragraph breaks too. Also, this will be the first 1.4 release with a windows installer. See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in this release. In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject: LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It is released under a Free Software / Open Source license. LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great, right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with page boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary TeX typesetting engine makes you look good. On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating' your dissertation the evening before going to press. LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux, the Macintosh and modern Windows platforms. You can download LyX 1.4.1 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2, which yields smaller files): ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.4.1.tar.bz2 and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will also host the .bz2 versions): http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.sdsc.edu/pub/other/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/LyX/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz Note that no patch is provided to upgrade from version 1.3.7. Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows installers) should soon be available at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1/ If you already have the LyX 1.4.0 sources, you may want to apply one of the following patches instead ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.4.1.gz ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.4.1.bz2 Note that this patch will not produce valid LyX/Mac sources, since some binary files have been added for this release. If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.4.1, you may either e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question, first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org). Enjoy! The LyX team. What's new in version 1.4.1? ** Updates - Enable breaking and merging of paragraphs in change tracking mode (bug 880). - Update Basque, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish and Spanish localizations; import 1.3.7 localizations for Finnish, Slovak, Russian, Slovenian, Romanian, Dutch and Turkish. - Update Spanish translation of the tutorial; update German translation of the Tutorial and Introduction. - Document the packages fancybox, prettyref, preview and varioref in LaTeXConfig.lyx. ** Bug fixes * Document input/output: - Fix LaTeX error with Address layout in AMS classes (bug 2363). - Fix LaTeX error when \labelitemi is undefined (bug 2053). - Fix LaTeX error when inserting a graphic in a section heading or a caption (bug 675). - Translate \verb commands correctly in tex2lyx (bug 2236). - Truncate temporary file names that are too long for MikTeX's pdflatex. - Parse \tag and \tag* commands correctly in tex2lyx and mathed (bug 2234). - Import fixed width table columns correctly in tex2lyx (bug 2290). - Convert old LyX documents with a float list at the end correctly in lyx2lyx (bug 2245). - Fix crash when generating LaTeX dependencies on Cygwin. - Fix wrong path_prefix handling in Cygwin builds (bug 2344) - Set search path for included files correctly on Cygwin (bug 2409). - Better layout file

FYI: The wiki no longer automatically links so called WikiWords
Hi I've finally disabled the use of CamelCase, or WikiWords to create links to other wiki pages. One major problem with this was that everytime someone wrote 'LyX', 'LaTeX' or 'BibTeX' it became a link. From now on this is no longer necessary. This also mean that authors no longer have to write '[=LyX=]' in order to avoid the word becoming a link. So how do you create a link to another page then? It's really simple, just place the name of the page withing '[[...]]'. For instance, in order to link to a page called 'KeyboardShortcuts', simply write one of the following: [[KeyboardShortcuts]] [[Keyboard shortcuts]] [[keyboard shortcuts]] regards /Christian PS. In case any of you have noticed links that were yellow, this was temporary while I was looking for WikiWord-links that I had to place brackets around. PPS. I hope I've converted all WikiWord-links, but I can't guarantee it:-( The risk here is simply that a text such as MiKTeX that used be interpreted as a link no is just a text... -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

You found a bug in tex2lyx. Please file it at http://bugzilla.lyx.org and
attach the file a.tex and the created .lyx file to the report. It is

Bring up the table's dialog box. One of the pages lets you check the longtable option. Now the table will break nicely over as many pages as needed! 3. If you want to, you can have table headers and/or footers that repeat automatically on every new page. You may also have a first header and a final footer. Put the cursor on the correct table line, then use the table dialog to turn it into a special longtable header/footer line. 4. The table dialog also let you do other useful stuff, such as setting columns to be centered or left or right justified, and turn tabular lines on and off.

Between for and loaded, there should be at least one language, i.e. the language you use. Possibly more, if you install support for several languages. Looks like your latex doesn't support hyphenation at all - probably because it isn't installed or misconfigured. 0 hyphenation exceptions out of 8191 Very little hyphenation data here . . . I use debian, but it is supposed to be similiar to ubuntu. Try running texconfig, check out the hyphenation menu. It could be as simple as enabling support for your language. If you have to look for packages, consider: apt-cache search latexh hyphen If you're using texlive, install the correct texlive-lang-language package. If you're using tetex, then tetex-base should be enough. The only thing you do in lyx, is to select the correct language. Then latex is supposed to do the rest.

a issue with import/export?
hello again,
Say I have the following file a.tex:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[ht]

\setlength{\unitlength}{.2in}
\begin{picture}(8,6)
\put(0,0){\makebox(0,0)[tr]{AAA}} -- look at this line
\put(8,0){\makebox(0,0)[tl]{BBB}} -- look at this line
\put(1,0){\line(1,0){6}}
\end{picture}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
I lyx-import, save as b.lyx and export as b.tex:
%% LyX 1.4.0 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[10pt,english,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}

\makeatother
\begin{document}

\put(8,0){\makebox{(}0,0){[}tl]{BBB}} --- extra {,}
\put(1,0){\line(1,0){6}}
\end{picture}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
As far as I may see, the extra {,}`s make the final output a mess.
Comments welcome.

FYI: The wiki no longer automatically links so called WikiWords
Hi I've finally disabled the use of CamelCase, or WikiWords to create links to other wiki pages. One major problem with this was that everytime someone wrote 'LyX', 'LaTeX' or 'BibTeX' it became a link. From now on this is no longer necessary. This also mean that authors no longer have to write '[=LyX=]' in order to avoid the word becoming a link. So how do you create a link to another page then? It's really simple, just place the name of the page withing '[[...]]'. For instance, in order to link to a page called 'KeyboardShortcuts', simply write one of the following: [[KeyboardShortcuts]] [[Keyboard shortcuts]] [[keyboard shortcuts]] regards /Christian PS. In case any of you have noticed links that were yellow, this was temporary while I was looking for WikiWord-links that I had to place brackets around. PPS. I hope I've converted all WikiWord-links, but I can't guarantee it:-( The risk here is simply that a text such as MiKTeX that used be interpreted as a link no is just a text... -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

Also adding tabs for the open documents would be very easy and probably very helpful too. christian True, although tabs is orthogonal to this, isn't it? (i.e. christian separate entry). Personally I don't use tabs that much... It would allow to see one screen what the relative position of documents is. Therefore you now how many times to do Ctrl-PageUp/Down. Hmm... maybe. I have tabs shown in Opera, and I switch between the pages quite a lot. However, I don't think I've ever looked at the tabs to actually decide how many times to do Ctrl-Left/Right... This could simply be a matter of me having way to many tabs open at once of course. Anyway, I think having tabs could be really good, but I'm not convinced it completely replaces the need for just switching to the previous buffer. /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
Wiki RFC: Would a separate 'Glossary/'-group make sense?
Hi everybody While converting WikiWords to normal links, I noticed that there are quite a few pages spread out on the wiki that are basically just an entry in a glossary. Here are some examples that I found in LyX/ and Windows/. http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/AboutLyX http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/DocBook http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/GBib http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/GSview http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Noweb http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/R http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/S http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SGML http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SourceForge http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Sweave http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/TeX http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/TTFonts http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/WYSIWYM http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/GSview http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Cygwin http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Ghostscript http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/ImageMagick http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/IrfanView http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/MikTeX http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/MiKTeX http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/PDFCreator http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/TeX http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/TeXLive I'm thinking that it'd make sense to move all these pages into a separate group called 'Glossary/'. Links won't have to be changed, since I'll add this group to the page path, i.e. it is enough to simply write [[GSview]] from a page in any group, and it'll link to [[Glossary.GSview]]. It will also still be possible to have a page with the same name in the current group. Thoughts on this? /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

Re: Viewing LaTex Source of MathEd Formulas
Hi, using MathEd I can also use LaTex commands like \sum to enter a formula. Is it also possible to make the LaTex command source visible in the Lyx editor?

Bring up the table's dialog box. One of the pages lets you check the "longtable" option. Now the table will break nicely over as many pages as needed! 3. If you want to, you can have table headers and/or footers that repeat automatically on every new page. You may also have a first header and a final footer. Put the cursor on the correct table line, then use the table dialog to turn it into a special longtable header/footer line. 4. The table dialog also let you do other useful stuff, such as setting columns to be centered or left or right justified, and turn tabular lines on and off. And you can have fixed-width columns if you like. Helge Hafting

Re: Hyphenation talk
Declan O'Byrne wrote: Hi all, Could anyone offer me a brief introduction to hyphenation in lyx. In practice, I'm getting un-hyphenated documents, and I'm trying to understand why. Are the rules of hyphenation based on some package that I haven't invoked? Where do I go to understand what's wrong? 1. Make sure you have selected the correct langauge for your document. (Look at the language setting in the document settings.) 2. Try running texconfig, and check if hyphenation for your language of choice is installed and enabled. I don't see anything of apparent relevance in the preamble, or in any of the menus... but maybe I'm overlooking the obvious? Another check: Export->latex Then, run "latex myfile.tex" from the command line. You should now get a "myfile.log" too, which details what happened. Lyx will also make this logfile when you do view->dvi or view->pdf, but it happens somewhere in /tmp. Read the logfile. In the beginning, you should get something like: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) (format=latex 2006.3.30) 10 APR 2006 14:30 entering extended mode **myfile.tex (./myfile.tex LaTeX2e <2003/12/01> Babel and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, ngerman, b ahasa, basque, bulgarian, catalan, croatian, czech, danish, dutch, esperanto, e stonian, finnish, greek, icelandic, irish, italian, latin, magyar, norsk, polis h, portuges, romanian, russian, serbian, slovak, slovene, spanish, swedish, tur kish, ukrainian, nohyphenation, loaded. If your language isn't in this log - then you need to install it. If it is, then you need to select the correct language in "document settings." Further down the log you should see your language being activated: (/usr/share/texmf-tetex/tex/generic/babel/babel.sty Package: babel 2004/11/20 v3.8d The Babel package (/usr/share/texmf-tetex/tex/generic/babel/norsk.ldf Language: norsk 2004/02/20 v2.0h Norsk support from the babel system As you see, I use "norsk".

With your permission I include the latex logfile from the testing document. Questions is: what's going wrong? Thanks, Looks like you're typesetting a document with no language: Babel and hyphenation patterns for loaded. Between "for" and "loaded", there should be at least one language, i.e. the language you use. Possibly more, if you install support for several languages. Looks like your latex doesn't support hyphenation at all - probably because it isn't installed or misconfigured. 0 hyphenation exceptions out of 8191 Very little hyphenation data here . . . I use debian, but it is supposed to be similiar to ubuntu. Try running texconfig, check out the hyphenation menu. It could be as simple as enabling support for your language. If you have to look for packages, consider: apt-cache search latexh hyphen If you're using texlive, install the correct texlive-lang- package. If you're using tetex, then tetex-base should be enough. The only thing you do in lyx, is to select the correct language. Then latex is supposed to do the rest. If you get tired of setting the language all the time, set it as default. Helge Hafting
LyX 1.4.1 is released
Public release of LyX version 1.4.1 === We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.1. This is a bug fix release, but some of the bugs were big. In particular: - fix the huge memory consumption and corresponding sluggishness with documents containing many graphics or `instant preview' snippets. - fix slow screen update with nested insets, particularly with LyX/Mac. - fix the delay when exiting from a math inset. - let the change tracking code track paragraph breaks too. Also, this will be the first 1.4 release with a windows installer. See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in this release. In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject: LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It is released under a Free Software / Open Source license. LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great, right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with page boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary TeX typesetting engine makes you look good. On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating' your dissertation the evening before going to press. LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux, the Macintosh and modern Windows platforms. You can download LyX 1.4.1 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2, which yields smaller files): ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.4.1.tar.bz2 and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will also host the .bz2 versions): http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.sdsc.edu/pub/other/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/LyX/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz Note that no patch is provided to upgrade from version 1.3.7. Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows installers) should soon be available at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1/ If you already have the LyX 1.4.0 sources, you may want to apply one of the following patches instead ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.4.1.gz ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.4.1.bz2 Note that this patch will not produce valid LyX/Mac sources, since some binary files have been added for this release. If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.4.1, you may either e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devellists.lyx.org), or open a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question, first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-userslists.lyx.org). Enjoy! The LyX team.

FYI: The wiki no longer automatically links so called WikiWords
Hi I've finally disabled the use of "CamelCase", or "WikiWords" to create links to other wiki pages. One major problem with this was that everytime someone wrote 'LyX', 'LaTeX' or 'BibTeX' it became a link. >From now on this is no longer necessary. This also mean that authors no longer have to write '[=LyX=]' in order to avoid the word becoming a link. So how do you create a link to another page then? It's really simple, just place the name of the page withing '[[...]]'. For instance, in order to link to a page called 'KeyboardShortcuts', simply write one of the following: [[KeyboardShortcuts]] [[Keyboard shortcuts]] [[keyboard shortcuts]] regards /Christian PS. In case any of you have noticed links that were yellow, this was temporary while I was looking for WikiWord-links that I had to place brackets around. PPS. I hope I've converted all WikiWord-links, but I can't guarantee it:-( The risk here is simply that a text such as MiKTeX that used be interpreted as a link no is just a text... -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

Therefore you now how many times to do Ctrl-PageUp/Down. Hmm... maybe. I have tabs shown in Opera, and I switch between the pages quite a lot. However, I don't think I've ever looked at the tabs to actually decide how many times to do Ctrl-Left/Right... This could simply be a matter of me having way to many tabs open at once of course. Anyway, I think having tabs could be really good, but I'm not convinced it completely replaces the need for just switching to the previous buffer. /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

Cntrl-PgUp/PgDn does not appear useful. Cntrl-PgDn turns a directory listing into a column of '-' on the extreme left and the rest of the document window is blank. Cntrl-PgUp restores the directory. It appears to work recursively (reflecting lisp roots?) -- that is, it takes the same number of Cntrl-PgUps to pop up to the original. I see no powerful use on my first test. Mark Hansel

I do not thin Ctrl-PageUp/Down does anything relevant in emacs. I only mentionned it in the case of LyX. JMarc

FYI: Now a glossary at the wiki
Here's the glossary http://wiki.lyx.org/Glossary/Glossary A few technical details: * We can write [[noweb]] in any group that hasn't already got a page called 'Noweb', and it'll automatically point to [[Glossary/Noweb]] * The main glossary page automatically pulls in all the other pages in the Glossary group and displays them. This means the entire glossary can be seen in one page. Each glossary entry also gets a link to the page, and even a link to edit the page. /Christian - feeling quite pleased :-) -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

Re: LyX 1.4.1 is released
I've placed the Mac binary at ftp.lyx.org/incoming/LyX-1.4.1-Mac.dmg; please move it to the correct binaries folder. Thanks. Bennett On Apr 11, 2006, at 5:57 AM, Jean-Marc Lasgouttes wrote: Public release of LyX version 1.4.1 === We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.1. This is a bug fix release, but some of the bugs were big. In particular: - fix the huge memory consumption and corresponding sluggishness with documents containing many graphics or `instant preview' snippets. - fix slow screen update with nested insets, particularly with LyX/ Mac. - fix the delay when exiting from a math inset. - let the change tracking code track paragraph breaks too. Also, this will be the first 1.4 release with a windows installer. See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in this release. In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject: LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It is released under a Free Software / Open Source license. LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great, right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with page boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary TeX typesetting engine makes you look good. On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating' your dissertation the evening before going to press. LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux, the Macintosh and modern Windows platforms. You can download LyX 1.4.1 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2, which yields smaller files): ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.4.1.tar.bz2 and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will also host the .bz2 versions): http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.sdsc.edu/pub/other/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/ lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/X11/LyX/stable/lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz Note that no patch is provided to upgrade from version 1.3.7. Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows installers) should soon be available at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1/ If you already have the LyX 1.4.0 sources, you may want to apply one of the following patches instead ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.4.1.gz ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.4.1.bz2 Note that this patch will not produce valid LyX/Mac sources, since some binary files have been added for this release. If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.4.1, you may either e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel lists.lyx.org), or open a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question, first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-userslists.lyx.org). Enjoy! The LyX team. What's new in version 1.4.1? ** Updates - Enable breaking and merging of paragraphs in change tracking mode (bug 880). - Update Basque, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish and Spanish localizations; import 1.3.7 localizations for Finnish, Slovak, Russian, Slovenian, Romanian, Dutch and Turkish. - Update Spanish translation of the tutorial; update German translation of the Tutorial and Introduction. - Document the packages fancybox, prettyref, preview and varioref in LaTeXConfig.lyx. ** Bug fixes * Document input/output: - Fix LaTeX error with Address layout in AMS classes (bug 2363). - Fix LaTeX error when \labelitemi is undefined (bug 2053). - Fix LaTeX error when inserting a graphic in a section heading or a caption (bug 675). - Translate \verb commands correctly in tex2lyx (bug 2236). - Truncate temporary file names that are too long for MikTeX's pdflatex. - Parse \tag and \tag* commands correctly in tex2lyx and mathed (bug 2234). - Import fixed width table columns correctly in tex2lyx (bug 2290). - Convert old LyX documents with a float list at the end correctly in lyx2lyx (bug
