1.5.0-beta3 improvements
Hi, I am just writing to say that lyx-1.5.0-beta3 got rid of the bug http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3516 the previous beta release had. Also, I noticed that now I can select large portions of a text without lyx crashing. So far, all problems I had seen with 1.5-beta2 seem fixed. best regards, rodrigo.

'Algorithm' float in a multiple-file document
Hi all I have recently tried to put an 'Algorithm' float into one chapter of my thesis (each chapter being a separate file). When I render that chapter by itself in pdflatex, it works OK. But when I attempt to render the whole thesis, it doesn't work. I presume there is some incompatibility arising from my document preamble, which contains as below. Can anyone tell me if any of those things (lmodern, url, listings, hyperref) cause problems with Algorithm floats? The error message that I get is related to a syntax error in my reference to the float \ref{alg:xxx}. It says "Undefined control sequence". If I convert my 'algorithm' float into a 'table' float, the problem goes away. As I said, if I just render the one chapter by itself (empty preamble) it works fine. What is it that I'm missing here?

If so, try downloading the Bakoma4LyX fonts from the wiki and reinstalling them using the Windows font applet (you'll have to delete the ones already installed). I've encountered problems periodically where something gets munged with the display fonts, sometimes after an upgrade, sometimes not. I'm not sure why reinstalling fixes things -- I've done a binary comparison of the installed files and the replacements and found no differences -- but it does. 3. If during an install of 1.5 the previous version (1.4.x) is still installed then one has to remove it manually. This is a feature (and one I support). I run 1.4.4 and 1.5.0svn in parallel (particularly since the latter is still beta). /Paul

Michal Ramsza wrote: Hello, 1. Try to write $x \leq y$ - the \leq part is displayed as an empty box instead of the right symbol. This likely has to do with the particular screen font that you're using. I know that I sometimes see those empty boxes instead of characters which do not appear in the particular font I'm using (I think, though I'm not certain, that math is affected by this as well). You can change the screen fonts through Tools -> Preferences... -> Look and feel -> Screen fonts.

problem with escaping chracters in urls (footnotes, bibtex)
Hello, some days ago I had a problem with backreferencing from the bibliography [1]. I solved it putting a "\" before problematic characters like "&" or "#". No I have discovered that when running ps2pdf or displaying a postscript the "\" will be printed in the URL. Another user has also reported the problem [3] where someone pointed to the bug no. 449 [4]. The same problems described with footnotes applies also for urls in bibtex. Since I use natbib the solution offered in [5] doesn't help and JabRef wouldn't even accept something like: URL = {\url{http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/FOSS_Education/Infrastructure#Internet_Connectivity} My question is therefore: How can I put in these "problematic" URLs in a manner that I will be able to run both pdflatex & dvips/ps2pdf and get the URLs set like they should be pasted in the browser? One workaround could be to use hyperref also with ps2pdf ut then long links wouln't be breaken across lines. Any help is greatly appreciated since I don't really know anymore how to get around this.

The document makes the point that it's very difficult to understand LaTeX without basic understanding of TeX, similar to how it would be difficult to understand the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) without a basic understanding of C++. It then goes on to explain a few things about LaTeX, including the answer to the question I asked (and Ingar Pareliussen answered) here on LyX-Users -- why do you need the \let\endoldenv=\endenv when modifying a LaTeX environment using that old TeX trick. Finally, it discusses getting the new environment working in LaTeX first, and then putting a LyX wrapper around the LaTeX in a .layout file.
