Are you sure? Normally, none of the *-headings are supposed to appear in the
TOC (that's what the star insicates, amongst others).
If you want unnumbered sections in the TOC, you have to do something else.
Here are some possibilities:
(1) write
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{the actual chapter text}
in TeX-mode just below the Chapter*. If it's a Sction*. replace chapter
by section.
(2) use KOMA-book as a class and use Addchap and Addsec instead of
Chapter* and Section*
(3) if you have only unnumbered, no numbered headings, just use Chapter and
Section and set Numbering to no in Document-Settings-Numbering TOC

You don't use natbib, do you? Natbib allows line breaks in citations.

Dan Kaplan wrote: Thanks for your help. It appears I have some of the class files, but I am missing many of the other classes. I seem to have many layout files without corresponding class files.

Still, some of the class files I have don't appear to work. Do they all need to be in a particular directory? No. Keep in mind that there are many classes out there for which there are (as yet) no LyX layouts, and no layout means not available in LyX. The layouts you do have need to be where LyX will look for them, which will be either the Resources/layouts folder under your LyX installation or the layouts folder under your home directory. (You can put layouts in either one; a good rule of thumb is that layouts installed by LyX live in the former and layouts you add live in the latter, and thus survive any uninstall/reinstall operations.) As to the classes, the can be parked anywhere on the chain of directories that LaTeX searches when it looks for class files. You didn't specify which LaTeX distribution you have, and what I'm about to say may not apply to all of them. If article, say, is a class for which you have the class file and the layout, but LyX won't enable it, try typing 'kpsewhich article.cls' at a shell prompt. If you get the path to the class file (and if the layout is installed), then (possibly after a reconfiguration and a restart) LyX should have it on the list of available document types. If kpsewhich comes up empty, either you don't have the class file or it's not properly installed. Not properly installed can mean it's in a directory not visible to LaTeX, or it can mean that the LaTeX filename database (a list LaTeX maintains of available classes, styles etc. and their locations) was not updated after the class was installed. How you force a refresh of the database varies from distribution to distribution, but it might be a matter of running the command 'texhash'. (If you use MikTeX, the Options application has a button Refresh FNDB that does the trick.) /Paul

You can add this to you document preamble (for parentheses):

You can also simply put the parentheses around the URL-box.

how to add llncs class
Hi all, I have just installed the Lyx 1.4.3 and Miktex 2.5 on my Win XP. When I try to open a llncs formatted lyx file, I get the well known missing tex class llncs error message. I installed the llncs files from Springer's site,and manually placed them to the following path: C:\Program Files\Miktex 2.5 \tex\latex\llncs (I created the llncs folder). The files in the llncs folder are llncs.cls, llncs.lcd, llncsdoc.sty, llncs.dem, llncs.sty, llncs.doc, sprmindx.sty. After putting the files I reconfigured a couple of times; but it did not work. If anyone can help me how to properly install the llncs class, I will be very grateful. Thanks, Savas Konur
Re: how to add llncs class
MikTex, as almost any LaTeX distribution, manages an index file with all installed packages. LyX can only find packages that are registered in this index file, hence you have to update it before doing the reconfigure. Open the MiKTeX options dialog, click on the Root tab, select the TEXMF database from the list an click Refresh FNDB. Afterwards run LyX reconfigure.

I have another directory, /usr/local/texmf/tex/latex where I keep style
files that I downloaded. (I keep them there to both make them available
to all users, and to survive formats and reinstalls of other partitions.)
After every reinstall I run this command sequence from a batch file:
rm -f /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
cp /usr/local/texmf/texmf.cnf /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/bin/mktexlsr

recognize these files. (/usr/local is a separate partition, _all_ other
partitions were formatted during this reinstall.) (Some files I wanted to
keep were copied to another drive prior to doing the format.)
Unfortunately, in addition to the previously mentioned problems, LyX
can't find these files anymore, even after I ran the batch file. (This
batch file has always worked for me prior to this latest install.)
I'm baffled. What's wrong, and what need I do?
Did you reconfigure LyX after you ran the batch file?

I'm sorry, I had answered this question, but for some reason it aparently
didn't get posted to the list. Yes, I did reconfigure LyX both before
after running the batch file.
Since my last [missing] post concerning this problem I have downloaded the
images for Mandriva 2007, burned in a new set of cdroms, and installed a
completly new Linux Mandriva OS. And yet the problem remains.
For some reason this release didn't come with LyX, so I downloaded it from the
2006 disttribution files online. When I click on [Help][About LyX] I get
this report:
LyX version 1.4.2 of Friday, July 13, 2006

In my /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf I have these settings:
TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/texmf
TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
This should tell LyX where to find all my texmf trees, and so LyX should
easily be able to find the missing TeX classes, but still doesn't.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Are you sure? Normally, none of the *-headings are supposed to appear in the
TOC (that's what the star insicates, amongst others).
If you want unnumbered sections in the TOC, you have to do something else.
Here are some possibilities:
(1) write
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{the actual chapter text}
in TeX-mode just below the Chapter*. If it's a Sction*. replace chapter
by section.
(2) use KOMA-book as a class and use Addchap and Addsec instead of
Chapter* and Section*
(3) if you have only unnumbered, no numbered headings, just use Chapter and
Section and set Numbering to no in Document-Settings-Numbering TOC

You don't use natbib, do you? Natbib allows line breaks in citations.

Dan Kaplan wrote: Thanks for your help. It appears I have some of the class files, but I am missing many of the other classes. I seem to have many layout files without corresponding class files. That's (at least potentially) normal. LyX ships with layouts for a number of classes that have less than universal appeal. I've got a number of layouts for uninstalled classes on my boxes. Still, some of the class files I have don't appear to work. Do they all need to be in a particular directory? No. Keep in mind that there are many classes out there for which there are (as yet) no LyX layouts, and no layout means not available in LyX. The layouts you do have need to be where LyX will look for them, which will be either the Resources/layouts folder under your LyX installation or the layouts folder under your home directory. (You can put layouts in either one; a good rule of thumb is that layouts installed by LyX live in the former and layouts you add live in the latter, and thus survive any uninstall/reinstall operations.) As to the classes, the can be parked anywhere on the chain of directories that LaTeX searches when it looks for class files. You didn't specify which LaTeX distribution you have, and what I'm about to say may not apply to all of them. If article, say, is a class for which you have the class file and the layout, but LyX won't enable it, try typing 'kpsewhich article.cls' at a shell prompt. If you get the path to the class file (and if the layout is installed), then (possibly after a reconfiguration and a restart) LyX should have it on the list of available document types. If kpsewhich comes up empty, either you don't have the class file or it's not properly installed. Not properly installed can mean it's in a directory not visible to LaTeX, or it can mean that the LaTeX filename database (a list LaTeX maintains of available classes, styles etc. and their locations) was not updated after the class was installed. How you force a refresh of the database varies from distribution to distribution, but it might be a matter of running the command 'texhash'. (If you use MikTeX, the Options application has a button Refresh FNDB that does the trick.) /Paul

You can add this to you document preamble (for parentheses):

You can also simply put the parentheses around the URL-box.

how to add llncs class
Hi all, I have just installed the Lyx 1.4.3 and Miktex 2.5 on my Win XP. When I try to open a llncs formatted lyx file, I get the well known missing tex class llncs error message. I installed the llncs files from Springer's site,and manually placed them to the following path: C:\Program Files\Miktex 2.5 \tex\latex\llncs (I created the llncs folder). The files in the llncs folder are llncs.cls, llncs.lcd, llncsdoc.sty, llncs.dem, llncs.sty, llncs.doc, sprmindx.sty. After putting the files I reconfigured a couple of times; but it did not work. If anyone can help me how to properly install the llncs class, I will be very grateful. Thanks, Savas Konur
Re: how to add llncs class
MikTex, as almost any LaTeX distribution, manages an index file with all installed packages. LyX can only find packages that are registered in this index file, hence you have to update it before doing the reconfigure. Open the MiKTeX options dialog, click on the Root tab, select the TEXMF database from the list an click Refresh FNDB. Afterwards run LyX reconfigure.

I have another directory, /usr/local/texmf/tex/latex where I keep style
files that I downloaded. (I keep them there to both make them available
to all users, and to survive formats and reinstalls of other partitions.)
After every reinstall I run this command sequence from a batch file:
rm -f /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
cp /usr/local/texmf/texmf.cnf /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/bin/mktexlsr

recognize these files. (/usr/local is a separate partition, _all_ other
partitions were formatted during this reinstall.) (Some files I wanted to
keep were copied to another drive prior to doing the format.)
Unfortunately, in addition to the previously mentioned problems, LyX
can't find these files anymore, even after I ran the batch file. (This
batch file has always worked for me prior to this latest install.)
I'm baffled. What's wrong, and what need I do?
Did you reconfigure LyX after you ran the batch file?

I'm sorry, I had answered this question, but for some reason it aparently
didn't get posted to the list. Yes, I did reconfigure LyX both before
after running the batch file.
Since my last [missing] post concerning this problem I have downloaded the
images for Mandriva 2007, burned in a new set of cdroms, and installed a
completly new Linux Mandriva OS. And yet the problem remains.
For some reason this release didn't come with LyX, so I downloaded it from the
2006 disttribution files online. When I click on [Help][About LyX] I get
this report:

In my /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf I have these settings:
TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/texmf
TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
This should tell LyX where to find all my texmf trees, and so LyX should
easily be able to find the missing TeX classes, but still doesn't.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Are you sure? Normally, none of the *-headings are supposed to appear in the
TOC (that's what the star insicates, amongst others).
If you want unnumbered sections in the TOC, you have to do something else.
Here are some possibilities:
(1) write
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{}
in TeX-mode just below the Chapter*. If it's a Sction*. replace "chapter"
by "section".
(2) use KOMA-book as a class and use "Addchap" and "Addsec" instead of
Chapter* and Section*
(3) if you have only unnumbered, no numbered headings, just use Chapter and
Section and set "Numbering" to "no" in Document->Settings->Numbering & TOC

You don't use natbib, do you? Natbib allows line breaks in citations.
For anything else, try
\usepackage{cite}

JMarc, Thanks for your reply. I don't think I am using any math macros... I am simply typing my math equations in.

If your package was built from clean sources and it is useful for a wider audience, i.e. it does not require anything that is not part of your distro, then it would be a good idea to put it on the LyX ftp server. If you want to do that, upload it to ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/incoming, and tell Jean-Marc that he can move it to the final place (the devel in the address above is important). Georg

Does it work if you do a Tools->Reconfigure? AFAIK there are some cases where your TeX distribution is sometimes not found on windows, but I don't know the details. Georg

(I prefer the way LyX looked with instant preview off but I can't complain). I wonder if maybe it's a font problem (??). Through LyX 1.4.1, LyX relied on your having the math screen fonts installed in Windows. Starting with 1.4.2, it ships with the necessary fonts, although the fonts that come with LyX are a trifle funky (meaning they display incorrect glyphs in some cases). If you're into experimentation, you might try the following. 1. Locate the \Resources\fonts folder and rename it (for instance, to "fonts$") so LyX won't find it. 2. Using Control Panel->Fonts, delete any installed fonts with names matching the ones in the Resources\fonts directory. 3. Download the bakoma4lyx fonts from ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/BaKoMa4LyX-1.1.zip and unzip the archive somewhere (desktop, temp directory, ...). Then use Control Panel->Fonts to install all the unzipped fonts (after which you can delete the unzipped files and the zip archive). 4. If you have used LyX since your last boot, reboot the system (so that it forgets the old fonts if it has them in memory). 5. Crank up LyX (with instant preview off) and see if the speed problem is fixed. This is a bit of a grope in the dark, but like J-Marc I'm hard pressed to see why your machine would be spinning its wheels in csrss.exe when there are math insets lying around (and not with IP on), unless it's something about the fonts in the math insets. /Paul

I downloaded Ken's attachment and opened it in LyX 1.4.3 on my laptop (on which I removed the duplicate fonts and reinstalled the bakoma4lyx fonts). The response to scrolling and typing are both quite sluggish, and I'm seeing the same phenomenon that Ken saw (csrss.exe chewing inordinate numbers of CPU cycles). I guess I've been spared this in the past because I don't use long, gory, multiline equations very often (and this certainly won't create an incentive to do so in the future). /Paul
Re: Layouts in LyX
Dan Kaplan wrote: Thanks for your help. It appears I have some of the class files, but I am missing many of the other classes. I seem to have many layout files without corresponding class files. That's (at least potentially) normal. LyX ships with layouts for a number of classes that have less than universal appeal. I've got a number of layouts for uninstalled classes on my boxes. Still, some of the class files I have don't appear to work. Do they all need to be in a particular directory? No. Keep in mind that there are many classes out there for which there are (as yet) no LyX layouts, and no layout means not available in LyX. The layouts you do have need to be where LyX will look for them, which will be either the Resources/layouts folder under your LyX installation or the layouts folder under your home directory. (You can put layouts in either one; a good rule of thumb is that layouts installed by LyX live in the former and layouts you add live in the latter, and thus survive any uninstall/reinstall operations.) As to the classes, the can be parked anywhere on the chain of directories that LaTeX searches when it looks for class files. You didn't specify which LaTeX distribution you have, and what I'm about to say may not apply to all of them. If article, say, is a class for which you have the class file and the layout, but LyX won't enable it, try typing 'kpsewhich article.cls' at a shell prompt. If you get the path to the class file (and if the layout is installed), then (possibly after a reconfiguration and a restart) LyX should have it on the list of available document types. If kpsewhich comes up empty, either you don't have the class file or it's not properly installed. "Not properly installed" can mean it's in a directory not visible to LaTeX, or it can mean that the LaTeX filename database (a list LaTeX maintains of available classes, styles etc. and their locations) was not updated after the class was installed. How you force a refresh of the database varies from distribution to distribution, but it might be a matter of running the command 'texhash'. (If you use MikTeX, the Options application has a button "Refresh FNDB" that does the trick.) /Paul
Way to put parentheses around displayed URLs?

You can add this to you document preamble (for parentheses):
\let\myUrl\url
\renewcommand{\url}[1]{(\myUrl{#1})}
You can also simply put the parentheses around the URL-box.
Attached is an example LyX-file where I also used hyperref's \href
command instead of \url. Its preamble contains an example configuration

how to add llncs class
Hi all, I have just installed the Lyx 1.4.3 and Miktex 2.5 on my Win XP. When I try to open a llncs formatted lyx file, I get the well known "missing tex class llncs" error message. I installed the llncs files from Springer's site,and manually placed them to the following path: C:\Program Files\Miktex 2.5 \tex\latex\llncs (I created the llncs folder). The files in the llncs folder are llncs.cls, llncs.lcd, llncsdoc.sty, llncs.dem, llncs.sty, llncs.doc, sprmindx.sty. After putting the files I reconfigured a couple of times; but it did not work. If anyone can help me how to properly install the llncs class, I will be very grateful. Thanks, Savas Konur
Re: how to add llncs class
MikTex, as almost any LaTeX distribution, manages an index file with all installed packages. LyX can only find packages that are registered in this index file, hence you have to update it before doing the reconfigure. Open the MiKTeX options dialog, click on the Root tab, select the TEXMF database from the list an click Refresh FNDB. Afterwards run LyX reconfigure.

I'm sorry, I had answered this question, but for some reason it aparently
didn't get posted to the list. Yes, I did reconfigure LyX both before &
after running the batch file.
Since my last [missing] post concerning this problem I have downloaded the
images for Mandriva 2007, burned in a new set of cdroms, and installed a
completly new Linux Mandriva OS. And yet the problem remains.
For some reason this release didn't come with LyX, so I downloaded it from the
2006 disttribution files online. When I click on " [Help][About LyX] " I get
this report:
LyX version 1.4.2 of Friday, July 13, 2006
Library directory: /usr/share/lyx
User Directory: ~/.lyx
In my /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf I have these settings:
TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/texmf
TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
This should tell LyX where to find all my texmf trees, and so LyX should
easily be able to find the missing TeX classes, but still doesn't.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
