Re: Way to put parentheses around displayed URLs?
From: Sue Kientz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Way to put parentheses around displayed URLs? Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 15:36:12 -0700 To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org I'm writing a manual, book class, using hyperref package which, when I generate the PDF (using pdflatex), gives me inline output that looks like (for example) ... you can get xxx at the AVS website www.avs.com and yyy at the OpenDX website www.opendx.org To create those website labels and URLs I used Insert URL of course. My problem is, the team I'm preparing this manual for wants parentheses around the URLs. If I use Insert URL dialog box to create those references, and put either ( ) or -type parentheses around the URLs, they no longer work when clicked on in the PDF. Is there something I can add to hyperref that will give me parentheses around all the URLs in my document? Or is there another solution, short of removing hyperref (since without it I can have the parens, but the links won't be clickable). I've always seen the parentheses become part of the url and make it fail. Unless your colleages are definite about parentheses, you may try \url instead, the links must work that way (I didn't try with LyX, but mosts of the admails I receive post the urls that way). If they are definite, leave forced blanks (ctrl-space), like ( \url ). HTH -- Jean-Pierre
Add subtitle to article class
I am new to lyx. Our internal report is close to what article class offers. However, we need a subtitle in the middle just following the Title. What are the possible ways to achieve this? Thanks. Jun
British English,multiple lines in equation (Lyx 1.4.2 for windows )
For lyx 1.4.2, inorder to check your document for spelling errors in British english: 1)Download and install aspelldata-0.60.4-root (if not already installed) 2)Download and Install the english dictionary 3)Go to: Documents-Settings-Language-British 4)Click: Save as document defaults In order to enter multiple lines in a formula: 1)Place cursor in the equation 2)Press Enter while keeping ctrl button pressed
extra flag
What is the intended use of the extra flag option in the converters setting under tools-preferences? I found by trial that in my system (onder os/2, still not working but improving :) latex works in lyx (i.e. it translates the file from tex to dvi) only if I delete the latex extra flag. Does this mean anything? Any possible side effect? thanks, Piersante
Problem installing spell checker for llyx-143-4
I am trying to install the latest version lyx-143-4 and failed to download spellchecker. The message during the installation says 'failed to download English spell checker- would you like to try again'. Clearly problems accessing the host from the web. How do I install spellchecker separately once lyx has been set up? What is the procedure? Any suggestions as to what to do?

Re: extra flag

Problem installing spell checker for llyx-143-4
I am trying to install the latest version lyx-143-4 and failed to download spellchecker. The message during the installation says 'failed to download English spell checker- would you like to try again'. Clearly problems accessing the host from the web. How do I install spellchecker separately once lyx has been set up? What is the procedure? Any suggestions as to what to do?

However, 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 (both built from source) suffer from sluggish screen updates and high CPU usage. The program is sluggish but still usable so, I'd like to keep using 1.4.x as I like some of the new features. I am gathering notes for a book project and I currently have about 12,000 words. I presume that I could move back to 1.3.x if the program becomes unusably sluggish in the future? I would suggest to divide your document into sub-documents. Multipart document works very well with LyX. You can still use cross-reference providing that you always open the master document first (the master document is the one including the others). This technic has the side advantage that you can reuse part of your document inside another. Hope this helps, Abdel.

By default, any LyX 1.4.x version will store preference data in C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\LyX 1.4.x\, so changes you make to your preferences in 1.4.2 will also take effect in 1.4.3 and vice versa. /Paul

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