Re: Embedding highlighed external source code files in a LyX document
Do both of these approaches work OK with producing sane-looking HTML as well as PDFs? I have not experimented with HTML export with highlight, but I think it should be possible to add a converter to make highlight produce html output. Are then any examples of output from your 'highlight' approach, Gunnar? See attached file ex.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document
Re: Embedding highlighed external source code files in a LyX document
This is great, do you know how to do on Windows? I did everything as you described (with Perl insted of C++), but if i want to see a dvi preview i get folowing error: LaTex Error: File './0d__daten_prog_perl_myscript.tex' not found ...d__daten_prog_perl_myscript.tex} } ***(cannot \read drom terminal in nonstop modes) You should add the same converter line for the plain Latex also!
Re: Embedding highlighed external source code files in a LyX document
Robert, You should remove the -r switch in the converter! To all that uses this. If you get into problem with undefined sequences and you see the command \dq in the error report. Try remove the -r switch in the converter. HTH Gunnar.
CJK seems to be partially working in 1.5.0
When setting the document encoding to utf8 I can paste Japanese from
other programs like Firefox. The Japanese characters are displayed
correctly, and I add \usepackage{CJK} to the preamble and put a
\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{ipam} and \end{CJK} around the charecters so they are
rendered correctly to dvi or pdf. However I can only render my document
manually by exporting to latex and running latex and bibtex, as lyx
seems to crash on an exception when pressing the render button:
lyx: Disabling LyX socket.
Consider installing the PyWin extension modules if you're irritated by
windows appearing briefly.

[announce] new Windows development snaphot for LyX 1.5
Hello LyXers, the first beta version of the upcoming LyX 1.5.0 was published a month ago. In the meantime we made big efforts toward a stable 1.5.0 release. To test it out I've published a new development snapshot of LyX 1.5svn: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=12545 The most important changes since LyX 1.5beta1 are: - LyX 1.5svn from 30-03-2007 - improved TOC dialog - fixes for RTL languages - antialiased symbols in math - new chapter in EmbeddedObjects manual - revised German Userguide - new syntax highlighting for document(LaTeX)-preamble - polished bookmark handling - new window style for View - View Source - many, many bug fixes Win Installer changes: - updated to ImageMagick 6.3.3-4: fix bug that transparent image pixels appear black in DVI or Postscript output - updated to Ghostscript 8.56 - add missing DLL to run Python on all Win platforms - add missing image files for EmbeddedObjects manual (More infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) --- disclaimer --- LyX 1.5svn test 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! LyX 1.5svn is in beta state, that means that it is still under very active development.

fiddly little figures
Hi guys. I've never done a paper with figures before so I'm slowly figuring things out. Figures seem to like to go on the top of the page, above any text. I guess this is if you want to intersperse the figures throughout the paper, which I don't want to do. Okay fine, so I put them all at the end with a newpage command. Only problem here is that they're all on separate pages. Some of them are kind of small and it seems like a waste to me. I'm pretty sure that more than one can fit on each page. How do I make it do this?

Re: Embedding highlighed external source code files in a LyX document
Robert, You should remove the -r switch in the converter! To all that uses this. If you get into problem with undefined sequences and you see the command "\dq" in the error report. Try remove the -r switch in the converter. HTH Gunnar.
CJK seems to be partially working in 1.5.0
When setting the document encoding to utf8 I can paste Japanese from
other programs like Firefox. The Japanese characters are displayed
correctly, and I add \usepackage{CJK} to the preamble and put a
\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{ipam} and \end{CJK} around the charecters so they are
rendered correctly to dvi or pdf. However I can only render my document
manually by exporting to latex and running latex and bibtex, as lyx
seems to crash on an exception when pressing the render button:
lyx: Disabling LyX socket.
Consider installing the PyWin extension modules if you're irritated by
windows appearing briefly.

Hello LyXers, the first beta version of the upcoming LyX 1.5.0 was published a month ago. In the meantime we made big efforts toward a stable 1.5.0 release. To test it out I've published a new development snapshot of LyX 1.5svn: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117_id=12545 The most important changes since LyX 1.5beta1 are: - LyX 1.5svn from 30-03-2007 - improved TOC dialog - fixes for RTL languages - antialiased symbols in math - new chapter in EmbeddedObjects manual - revised German Userguide - new syntax highlighting for document(LaTeX)-preamble - polished bookmark handling - new window style for View -> View Source - many, many bug fixes Win Installer changes: - updated to ImageMagick 6.3.3-4: fix bug that transparent image pixels appear black in DVI or Postscript output - updated to Ghostscript 8.56 - add missing DLL to run Python on all Win platforms - add missing image files for EmbeddedObjects manual (More infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) --- disclaimer --- LyX 1.5svn test 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! LyX 1.5svn is in beta state, that means that it is still under very active development. So don't use LyX1.5svn, development snapshots and test builds for production! happy testing and best regards Uwe

Using apacite with other styles than Article (APA)?
Hi, I am writing an article where the references should be in accordance with the APA system. I therefore want to use the apacite Bibtex style. In LyX I have only succeeded in using apacite with the Article (APA) layout. What should I do to use apacite with other article classes?

Re: CJK seems to be partially working in 1.5.0
Let me know how you progress and maybe post this on
http://bugzilla.lyx.org . That would be amazing if CJK was
working...maybe support for the CJK package could be added so you
don't have to put something around every character.

fiddly little figures
Hi guys. I've never done a paper with figures before so I'm slowly figuring things out. Figures seem to like to go on the top of the page, above any text. I guess this is if you want to intersperse the figures throughout the paper, which I don't want to do. Okay fine, so I put them all at the end with a newpage command. Only problem here is that they're all on separate pages. Some of them are kind of small and it seems like a waste to me. I'm pretty sure that more than one can fit on each page. How do I make it do this?
Re: Embedding highlighed external source code files in a LyX document
Gunnar - Right on! Perfect. thank you for the help. It is really appreciated. I have wanted to have this capability for the longest time. I have used the listing package but I always felt that it was difficult. Often I needed to dig out the documentation to find out how to do this or that.Highlight is so much easier. --- Gunnar Lindholm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Robert, You should remove the -r switch in the > converter! > > To all that uses this. > If you get into problem with undefined sequences and > you see the command "\dq" > in the error report.

Re: Cannot start LyX
Lars Sjögren wrote: Hi, I downloaded the lyx-144-4-bundle.exe from this location (http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows). Installed it, and it will not start. I receive the error message discussed at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Troubleshooting. I tried downloading and installing the fonts mentioned in "problems with fonts in math environment", but to no avail. I run MS Windows XP. Do you mean that LyX immediately crashes with a message saying the application as asked the runtime to terminate it? If so, this has nothing to do with the screen fonts. (The Wiki page may be a bit deceptive. The font discussion follows immediately after the runtime error message but deals with a separate, unrelated problem.) I ran into the runtime problem with version 1.4.4-2, I think (as did a few other people). Installing a later build (the "official" installer, not the combined bundle) cured it for me, but I don't think we every figured out what the problem was. I suggest you uninstall LyX, delete anything LyX wrote in the user directory (usually C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\LyX1.4.x by default), then download the "official" installer (ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.4/lyx-144-4.exe) and try that. It might not be a bad idea to verify that MikTeX is working, and that MikTeX's bin directory is on your system command path, first. (A quick check is to run 'latex --version' at a command prompt.) /Paul
Can .layout file go with my .lyx file?
I found it would be good to allow LyX to 'use' layout file which is in the same folder as user's LyX file, in addition to LyX system's foders (/usr/share/lyx/layout and ~/.lyx/layout). Say, I am editing my LyX file /home/myname/mydoc/myreport.lyx. I previously have created a special layout file called myreport.layout. I hope the two files are sitting together in one folder. This way, I have convenience of backing them up together, or sending to friends together. Thanks, james
