Enumerated lists
Hi! I am wondering if v1.5 supports different enumeration styles (apart from the standard enumeration style with arabic numbers), such as a),b),... or i.,ii.,... I think some of these styles are commonly used, so it would be great if LyX had standard support for them. Cheers, Nicolás
[announce] LyX150svn from 15-01-2007 for Windows
Hello LyXTesters, I published a new version with LyX1.5.0svn from 15-01-2007: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=12024 This fixes a problem that LyX couldn't be started on some machines. Installer Changelog: - LyX 1.5svn from 15-01-2007: - improved bookmark handling - copy/paste now possible between LyX-files opened in different LyX instances (programs). - updated documentation - this LyX 1.5svn build can now be started on every Windows 2000/XP machine - updated Readme files for the installer sourcecode: - mention the Galician translation files for NSIS - updated Galician translation of the installer Known problem: - LyX's package and class database is incomplete when you don't have an open internet connection while LyX is first started. (This is a bug in MiKTeX.) Workaround: open an internet connection and reconfigure LyX happy testing and best regards Uwe --- disclaimer --- LyXsvn builds are for testers and interested LyXers to see the new features. If you find bugs, please have a look at http://bugzilla.lyx.org and report them there if they aren't already reported. Note! LyX1.5svn is still in alpha state, that means it is under very active development. Therefore things can change every day, so don't use LyX1.5svn for production!

I could be wrong but the last time I had a message like that {... CPU ...

compiled for i686 and the processor on my machine was an i586.
It might help to know:
A) What processor your machine has. (I don't remember how to find that on
windows.)
B) What processor the DVI viewer was built for. (you'll probably need to ask
the folks who built it, AFAIK that would be the MiKTeX crew assuming you used
Uwe's installer.)
if the DVI viewer was built for an older processor than the one you have, then
the problem I NOT what I thought it was.
I hope this is helpful.

Hi Matej (and anyone else who can answer this question)
First, forgive my replying to a two year old post, but I need this information
and knew that once upon a time Matej had posted it.
What I want to know is this: where does \enddescription come from? Does every
environment named \foo also have an \endfoo that refers to the stuff that
gets done after the last piece of text covered from the environment? If so,
how does that happen? If not, how does Matej's code above work (I tried it 2
years ago and indeed it did work).
I'm writing an article I think will greatly simplify explaining LaTeX and
therefore greatly simplify creating or modifying environments (HOORAY), but
in order to write the doc I not only need to describe the trick above, but I
need to explain why it works?
Does LaTeX's \newenvironment{myenvironment} automatically create not only
\myenvironment, but also \endmyenvironment?

appendix package
Hello,
Has anyone used the appendix package so that the table of contents
looks like ...
'Appendix A Title'
instead of ...
'A Title'?
I've tried all kinds of different ways reading through the appendix
package documentation with no success. There is an option 'titletoc'
for the appendices environment listed in the documentation that is
supposed to do exactly what I would like, but I must not be using it
correctly.
What I did was start a new document, standard 'book' class. Inserted
a toc, chapter, start appendix here command, then an appendix
chapter. I then inserted '\usepackage[titletoc]{appendix}' into the
preamble. Didn't work. I also tried the standard 'article' class and
various other commands listed in the appendix package documentation
to no avail.
Thanks,
Bob Lounsbury

Executing tex4ht gives some basic info but not enough for me to get it to work. It seems to want a .dvi file. So I tried running one of those and it creates a few files which to me are cryptic, and no .html files. I searched for documentation and came up with a .info file. But it seems to be for texinfo -- to which I'm sure tex4ht is related in some way. But in searching that doc I come up with nothing on tex4ht in particular. Am I looking in the right place?

Hi Matej (and anyone else who can answer this question)
First, forgive my replying to a two year old post, but I need this information
and knew that once upon a time Matej had posted it.
What I want to know is this: where does \enddescription come from? Does every
environment named \foo also have an \endfoo that refers to the stuff that
gets done after the last piece of text covered from the environment? If so,
how does that happen? If not, how does Matej's code above work (I tried it 2
years ago and indeed it did work).
I'm writing an article I think will greatly simplify explaining LaTeX and
therefore greatly simplify creating or modifying environments (HOORAY), but
in order to write the doc I not only need to describe the trick above, but I
need to explain why it works?
Does LaTeX's \newenvironment{myenvironment} automatically create not only
\myenvironment, but also \endmyenvironment?
Thanks

appendix package
Hello,
Has anyone used the appendix package so that the table of contents
looks like ...
'Appendix A Title'
instead of ...
'A Title'?
I've tried all kinds of different ways reading through the appendix
package documentation with no success. There is an option 'titletoc'
for the appendices environment listed in the documentation that is
supposed to do exactly what I would like, but I must not be using it
correctly.
What I did was start a new document, standard 'book' class. Inserted
a toc, chapter, start appendix here command, then an appendix
chapter. I then inserted '\usepackage[titletoc]{appendix}' into the
preamble. Didn't work. I also tried the standard 'article' class and
various other commands listed in the appendix package documentation
to no avail.
Thanks,
Bob Lounsbury

I just realized neither \endolddescription nor \enddescription are used
subsequently. What's the purpose of the line:
\let\endolddescription=\enddescription

Problems with babel configuration
Hello list,
I've tried babel package for spanish languague and I always obtain the
following message, both lyx and latex:
Package babel Error: You haven't defined the language SPANISH yet.
\end{document}
Checking the log file, I've found the following info:
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.
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/IEEEtran/IEEEtran.cls
So, it says everything is correct, Could anybody give me a hand to fix the
problem?
Thanx a lot.

If this problem appear, try to do compile the file again, or reopen the document and then recompile
it. If this doesn't help, you have set something wrong in the document preamble.

For HTML export, all I can say is that I only do that from the command line (since LyX to me is simply an editor, not a swiss army knife), and tex4ht works fine for me. Just in case you want to revisit it later: Jens, You've got me interested so I'm trying it again -- from the command line. The problem is that I obviously need and can't find documentation. Executing tex4ht gives some basic info but not enough for me to get it to work. It seems to want a .dvi file. So I tried running one of those and it creates a few files which to me are cryptic, and no .html files. I searched for documentation and came up with a .info file. But it seems to be for texinfo -- to which I'm sure tex4ht is related in some way. But in searching that doc I come up with nothing on tex4ht in particular. Am I looking in the right place? Also there's no man file -- at least that fink installed. Looks like it's quite powerful based on what I can glean and the extensive library that comes with it. But I can't get to 1st base. Can you point to a starting place? thanks much, jamie
