What's new in version 1.5.0 (beta 1)? * Unicode LyX 1.5's big goal was to use unicode internally and so resolve a slew of existing problems with special characters and non-alphabetic languages. LyX 1.5 is able to output unicode (in addition to encodings current available), so that you can use LaTeX's new utf8 encoding or such brand new typesetting systems as XeTeX. Since the change to unicode touched much of the code base and some areas still need a cleanup it is very likely that some bugs related to the unicode transition still exist. Please have a look at the Known bugs in LyX 1.5 page if you encounter a bug that seems to be related to unicode. If it's not there, then please report it to the lyx-devel mailing list. * Multiple views of the same buffer LyX can now display multiple views of the same buffer. I.e., you can now open a single document in multiple windows and work on different parts of it synchronously. * Outliner LyX has another long-awaited feature: a basic outliner mode, in which you can move chapters and sections around in the Table of Contents dialog. (The outliner has been backported and was released with LyX 1.4.4.) * Session managment LyX is now able to remember window size and position and it will reopen the documents you worked on last time around. If you've selected the feature in the Preferences dialog, it'll even move the cursor to the place you were working on last! Furthermore, toolbars can (finally!) be switched on/off in View-Toolbars and moved about in the LyX window. The session managment will remember their state. * Source code Viewer As a kind of anti-preview-latex, a dialog was implemented that lets you view the source code of a given paragraph/selection or the whole document. * New Font Selection Interface LyX's font selection abilities have been one of its weakest and most outdated components. A completely new interface was implemented

changing default layout for paragraphs
I would like to change the default layout of paragrahs so that they appear left aligned rather than justfied. In my preamble I will put the command \RaggedRight, which will make he paragrahs left aligned. But when I work with the paragraph in lyx, they will still appear to be justfied, which in my opinion makes them very hard to work with. When I insert text in the middle of a paragraph, the lines have to continually adjust themselves, creating a distraction. (I'm surprised this does't drive anyone else crazy--or maybe it does?) I know that back 7 years ago or so there was a way to change the default layout of paragraphs. I lost the notes on how this was done. I hope it is still possible to do this. I know that I can go into the edit menu and change the paragraph settings, but this setting only appears to work for one paragraph, not for every paragraph. And besides, I notice that LyX then encloses the paragraphs in a flushleft environment, something I don't really want, since the RaggedRight command already makes my paragraphs left aligned. Also, I may want my paragraph to appear justfied in the PDF, but still want them to appear left aligned so that I can edit them more easily. I have looked at the LyX tutorial, but I couldn't find any concrete examples on how to make my own layout. I have checked in my ~/.lyx directory and notice that I have nothing in either my example directory or my layout directory. Thanks Paul

changing default layout for paragraphs
I would like to change the default layout of paragrahs so that they appear left aligned rather than justfied. In my preamble I will put the command \RaggedRight, which will make he paragrahs left aligned. But when I work with the paragraph in lyx, they will still appear to be justfied, which in my opinion makes them very hard to work with. When I insert text in the middle of a paragraph, the lines have to continually adjust themselves, creating a distraction. (I'm surprised this does't drive anyone else crazy--or maybe it does?) I know that back 7 years ago or so there was a way to change the default layout of paragraphs. I lost the notes on how this was done. I hope it is still possible to do this. I know that I can go into the edit menu and change the paragraph settings, but this setting only appears to work for one paragraph, not for every paragraph. And besides, I notice that LyX then encloses the paragraphs in a flushleft environment, something I don't really want, since the RaggedRight command already makes my paragraphs left aligned. Also, I may want my paragraph to appear justfied in the PDF, but still want them to appear left aligned so that I can edit them more easily. I have looked at the LyX tutorial, but I couldn't find any concrete examples on how to make my own layout. I have checked in my ~/.lyx directory and notice that I have nothing in either my example directory or my layout directory. Thanks Paul

pdfpages
Hello,
I need to include some pdf pages in my output.
I've set
\usepackage{pdfpages}
in the preamble.
Then I have at the end of my lyx file:
\includepdf[pages=-] {filename.pdf}
I get the error message to set \pdfoutput=1 when trying to view with
ps2pdf. Where should I set pdfoutput?
I'm not sure if I've done this correctly,

I have checked in my ~/.lyx directory and notice that I have nothing in either my example directory or my layout directory. Okay, I found my layouts in /usr/local/share/lyx. (I was looking in /usr/share for the lyx folder before). I found memoir.layout and copied it to my local ~/.lyx/layout directory. I then modified the Standard style to look like this: Style Standard MarginStatic LatexType Paragraph LatexName dummy ParIndent MM ParSkip 0.4 Align Left AlignPossible Block, Left, Right, Center LabelType No_Label I just changed one line: the value of Align from Block to left. This gives me a left layout, but it no longer indents my paragrahs. I can get around this by changing the paragraph separator in LyX to vertical space, but I would prefer to have a first line indentation. I'm almost possible that the way I got this to work was by doing something with labels. I tried changing LabelThpe to Static and including a LabelString to MM but that just gave me an M at the start of my paragraph. Paul

Works well, so far does all the LyX things I need: make ps, pdf, bibtex. The INSTALL file needs editing as its now 1.5.0 and not 1.4.x line 53: LyX 1.4.x makes great use of C++ Standard Template Library (STL). It compiled with out any probs in Ubuntu Dapper (i386) and the checkinstall package is here: http://home.exetel.com.au/randombits/lyx_1.5.0beta1-1_i386.deb this used configure: $ ./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt4 --enable-optimization=-O3 --prefix=/usr/local This does not check for dependencies. It just saves the time from finding and installing the extra packages needed to compile LyX and compiling the final package. cheers Russell

I do this on every document I write. I make a new .layout file, for the book,
in the directory containing the book. The new layout style starts something
like this:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[book]{tsjfbook}
Then I add/redefine any environments I desire.
The final step is making the file a symlink so it automatically works with
LyX:
ln -s /data/books/tsjf/tsjfbook.layout /home/slitt/.lyx/layouts/tsjfbook.layout
Then within LyX I Tools->reconfigure, and the new styles are visible.

The cv.cls needed for LyX is different from the one that is shipped with the LaTeX-package "cv". To solve the problem: - copy the cv.cls you find in LyX's installation subfolder \Resources\tex somewhere to your LaTeX installation, e.g. to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.5\tex\latex or wherever MiKTeX is installed. - open MiKTeX's Options (available in Windows' startmenu) and press there the button "refresh FNDB" - reconfigure LyX (menu Tools -> Reconfigure) When you install LyX using this installer: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller This all is done automatically for you. regards Uwe -- Osman O.

pdfpages
Hello,
I need to include some pdf pages in my output.
I've set
\usepackage{pdfpages}
in the preamble.
Then I have at the end of my lyx file:
\includepdf[pages=-] {filename.pdf}
I get the error message to set \pdfoutput=1 when trying to view with
ps2pdf. Where should I set pdfoutput?
I'm not sure if I've done this correctly,
TIA,

Re: changing default layout for paragraphs

(I was looking in /usr/share for the lyx folder before). I found memoir.layout and copied it to my local ~/.lyx/layout directory. I then modified the Standard style to look like this: Style Standard MarginStatic LatexType Paragraph LatexName dummy ParIndent MM ParSkip 0.4 Align Left AlignPossible Block, Left, Right, Center LabelType No_Label I just changed one line: the value of Align from Block to left. This gives me a left layout, but it no longer indents my paragrahs. I can get around this by changing the paragraph separator in LyX to vertical space, but I would prefer to have a first line indentation. I'm almost possible that the way I got this to work was by doing something with labels. I tried changing LabelThpe to Static and including a LabelString to "MM" but that just gave me an M at the start of my paragraph. Paul
