Text before title
Hi! This question is probably more related to Latex than to Lyx, but hopefully you can help me. Given a paper, I would like to write some text in the free space existing above the title. With fancy headers a can have headers in the body of the paper, but I would like to have a kind of special header in the first page, above the title. Any clue about how to do that? Thanks Nicolás

You may try \pagestyle{fancyplain} and make sure that the title page is plain
with
\thispagestyle{plain} (AFAIR, it should not be necessary, title page defaults
to plain).

What I did at the end is to use \fancypagestyle{plain}{...} to describe
the look of my header and then
use \thispagestyle{plain} just after \maketitle.

First, in LyX, does Help-LaTeX Configuration show a plausible version
date for LaTeX (section 1 of the document)? If not, maybe LyX is
looking in the wrong place for your LaTeX executable.
Second, if you run 'kpsewhich article.cls' (or '/usr/bin/kpsewhich

I do get a highlighted region when I do the same thing in Lyx 1.3.7. Has the command changed, or is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? I'm using Lyx1.4.3-4 Thanks much, David
Text before title
Hi! This question is probably more related to Latex than to Lyx, but hopefully you can help me. Given a paper, I would like to write some text in the free space existing above the title. With fancy headers a can have headers in the body of the paper, but I would like to have a kind of special header in the first page, above the title. Any clue about how to do that? Thanks Nicolás

You may try \pagestyle{fancyplain} and make sure that the title page is plain
with
\thispagestyle{plain} (AFAIR, it should not be necessary, title page defaults
to plain).

Re: Text before title
Thanks for your answers.
What I did at the end is to use \fancypagestyle{plain}{...} to describe
the look of my header and then
use \thispagestyle{plain} just after \maketitle.

I guess what you want is to set \titlepagestyle (IIRC) different from
the general \pagestyle.

Georg Baum wrote: Yes. Look in the file I cited above. IIRC I already told you that making LyX work again under OS/2 will be a lot of work, so you are warned ;-) Thanks for your hints! Most of unix stuff can be usually compiled for os/2 provided that the relevant external libraries have aready been ported. Currently lyx 1.4.2 seems to run quite well in os/2 (previous problems calling python scripts have been solved), except that I can only see postscript output using ghostscript, while any other viewer (for ps, dvi or pdf) hangs like waiting for something when launched. Apart from this, it seems that configure.py should to be updated to let it know the names of a few os/2 specific programs. I will pass your info and warning to Paul Smedley, who is doing the port. I am only an interested tester! cheers Piersante

Thanks. This was brilliant, but I was sorry to see you must still clear

No, you can leave the URL boxes as they currently are. Or what do you mean?

First, I have lyx integrated into our build environment so that it exports to latex (lyx -export pdflatex) and runs pdflatex as part of a software build. This means I have users (developers) who run lyx without being aware of it as part of their build in order to generate documentation. The problem is, lyx doesn't seem to generate its user config (in LYX_USERDIR_14 or wherever) when doing an export - it only does this when started interactively - and this causes the pdflatex run to fail. Any solution? AFAIR, this should be fixed in 1.4.4. Thanks, I'll give it a try. On a related subject (I think I asked about this here w.r.t. v1.3 a while back, maybe more than a year ago), is it possible to get the exported files to be produced in some directory other than the one where the top level .lyx file sits? Or, to put it another way... cd /mybuilddir lyx --export latex /mysrcdir/mydoc.lyx and have the .tex files created in mybuilddir rather than mysrcdir. guy

Actually, I believe the title page usually defaults to empty. So
\thispagestyle{fancy} would allow you to do what you like with that header.

Re: lyx 1.4.3 RPM for Mandriva 2006.
Hi, Jean-Marc. I created a new rpm from Georg's intructions. Its name is: lyx-1.4.3-1_qt_mdv2006.i586.rpm I uploaded it to ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/incoming. The ftp client reported a successful transfer, but I could not get the directory listing to confirm. Could you please verify for me? Thank you.

If you want to have that please add a feature request at http://bugzilla.lyx.org. Implementing that should not be too difficult, but it will probably not get a high priority since there are a number of more serious problems to fix. Of course you can always work around that with makefiles or scripts. Georg

Ah, I see! In your example file, the Name input box was blank, so I
thought if you put something in that box, it is also encapsulated by
the parentheses. But I now see when I add a name to the input box,
it's not in the parens. Gee, you *are* brilliant! Thanks so much!

Re: Problem installing spell checker for llyx-143-4
Mike Reeks wrote: 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? Hypothetically, the following should work: 1. Download http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/Aspell6/aspelldata-0.60.4-root.exe and install it. (It should install to C:\Aspell.) 2. Download your choice of dictionary from http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6 and install that. The reason I say "hypothetically" is that I have yet to get LyX 1.4.3 to admit that I have the en_US dictionary installed, even though it works fine with 1.4.2 and earlier. But that may be some quirk of my installation. /Paul

Russell W. Behne wrote:
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?
Sorry if I'm rehashing things here, but I don't have the entire thread
in front of me (not to mention the posting the virtual dog apparently
ate). Also, fair warning: it's been a while since I used any flavor of
Linux (I'm exiled to the World of Windows).
First, in LyX, does Help->LaTeX Configuration show a plausible version
date for LaTeX (section 1 of the document)? If not, maybe LyX is
looking in the wrong place for your LaTeX executable.
Second, if you run 'kpsewhich article.cls' (or '/usr/bin/kpsewhich
article.cls', or whatever), does it find the article class?
The last couple of times I saw something similar reported (both Windows,
IIRC), it turned out to be a glitch in the way the LaTeX distro was
installed and not something intrinsic to LyX.

Mark-On Lyx1.4
Hi -- I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. When I run the mark-on command (i.e. M-x mark-on) and then move my cursor around, I don't get a highlighted region. I do get a highlighted region when I do the same thing in Lyx 1.3.7. Has the command changed, or is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? I'm using Lyx1.4.3-4 Thanks much, David
