Hi,
I've a document with dutch as the main language and also a little
bit of greek.
I've chosen dutch as the main language in the
DocumentsSettingsLanguage panel
and mentioned greek as an option in the DocumentsSettindsDocument
ClassOptions field.
Apparently LyX exports this as:
\documentclass[... ,dutch,... greek]{book}

option).
However babel wants the first/main language as the last (language)
option.
Is there a way to get this right?

Save icon gray after updating an index
Hi all, This is a small thing, but I consider it a bug. If, after saving, I change ERT or an index entry, and nothing else, the save icon (the little floppy) remains grayed out. File-save is not grayed out. I believe this also happens when you change document-settings or maybe document-settings-preamble. Although this is minor and a lot of software suffers from similar stuff (you can just put in a space to enable the icon), it might be something to consider fixing. I'm using LyX 1.4.2.

Why wouldn't you use Gimp? First of all, gimp isn't the right solution, it's geared towards bitmaped images. The right tools (other than latex) either ooimpress (although it is more of a presentation tool) or more appropriate, scribus. The problem is that the poster contains mostly math and there is nothing outside of latex that handles math properly. Plus, the original paper was written in latex (and imported into lyx) so this way I can simply copy the text/equations. SteveT

Why wouldn't you use Gimp? First of all, gimp isn't the right solution, it's geared towards bitmaped images. The right tools (other than latex) either ooimpress (although it is more of a presentation tool) or more appropriate, scribus. The problem is that the poster contains mostly math and there is nothing outside of latex that handles math properly.

Best document class for a math book?
Hi all, My next book will be a math book. I assume there are better document classes to use for this than the book document class. What are some document classes that are good for math books?

Re: A shell for launching figure editor under Mac OS
Le 26 mai 07 à 18:07, Mael Hilléreau a écrit : I finally wrote a small Applescript (see attached file) that allows to convert Omnigraffle files to PDF, PNG... directly from the command line. In order to use it, go to LyX preferences, add an OmniGraffle file format (just type "auto" for the editor), and then add converters. By now, I successfully added converters from OmniGraffle to PNG, EPS and PDF. Here are the commands I used: OmniGraffle -> PDF (ps2pdf) Converter: osascript replace/with/path/to/og-export.scpt `pwd`/$ $i `pwd`/$$o pdf OmniGraffle -> EPS Converter: osascript replace/with/path/to/og-export.scpt `pwd`/$ $i `pwd`/$$o eps OmniGraffle -> PNG Converter: osascript replace/with/path/to/og-export.scpt $$i $$o png To developers: the `pwd` command is used only with PDF and EPS because $$i and $$o are not substituted in the same way (absolute path for PNG and only file name for PDF and EPS). I suspect that this difference corresponds to vector and non vector graphics formats. Why such a distinction? Note that I've just put a new version of "og-convert.scpt" on the LyX wiki. This new version eliminates a bug occurring when the '.graffle' file extension wasn't displayed in the Finder. I put the script as code listing (see http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/ Mac#toc6). It would be more convenient to give it as a file named "og- export.scpt". Could anyone give me the upload password? Thanks in advance, Mael. -- Mael Hilléreau http://mael.hillereau.free.fr

No indentation with LyX-Code
Dear All I am using LyX-Code to insert the code of a procedure in a LyX document. Unfortunately, I cannot get the code of the procedure NOT indented, even after having set the paragraph not indented. Any ideas? (I am using LyX 1.4.4.) Thanks in advance, Paul

Thanks, Gunnar, but with "type writer" text, one cannot insert spaces in the beginning of lines. Paul
multiple languages and the order of document-options
Hi,
I've a document with "dutch" as the main language and also a little
bit of "greek".
I've chosen "dutch" as the main language in the
Documents>Settings>Language panel
and mentioned "greek" as an option in the Documents>Settinds>Document
Class>Options field.
Apparently LyX exports this as:
\documentclass[... ,dutch,... greek]{book}
(in other words the extra options are placed after the main language
option).
However babel wants the first/main language as the last (language)
option.
Is there a way to get this right?
Regards,
Patrick De Visschere

Booktabs question: how to set the width of the last column and still use \bottomrule
Hi, I'm stuck again with a booktabs problem: When I set the width of the last column of a table in the LyX Table Settings dialogue, the booktabs command "\\\bottomrule%" produces an error. Whatever the value, the error message shows up. I've included an example file. I have no idea what to do about this and would be grateful for a solution. Neither the booktabs manual nor the LyX manuals seem to comment on this. Many thanks, -- Christian booktab.lyx Description: application/lyx
Save icon gray after updating an index
Hi all, This is a small thing, but I consider it a bug. If, after saving, I change ERT or an index entry, and nothing else, the save icon (the little floppy) remains grayed out. File->save is not grayed out. I believe this also happens when you change document->settings or maybe document->settings->preamble. Although this is minor and a lot of software suffers from similar stuff (you can just put in a space to enable the icon), it might be something to consider fixing. I'm using LyX 1.4.2. My apologies if it's already been fixed in 1.5.x SteveT Steve Litt Author: Universal Troubleshooting Process books and courseware http://www.troubleshooters.com/

The other problem is that it's not very "WYSIWYM". I think something like the
following (guess, not tested) latex might work:
let oldlyx-code=lyx-code
let oldendlyx-code=endlyx-code
renewenvironment{lyx-code}{
\leftskip -0.5in
\oldlyx-code
}{}
The preceding should force the left margin 1/2 inch to the left of where it
would normally be.
Like I said, I never tested it, so you'll for sure have to experiment with it,
but something like this should do what you need.

Setting background color

Paul,
Try parking the attached hacked version of lyxmacros.inc in the layouts
folder under your home directory (not the one under the LyX root, don't
want to lose the original Just In Case). It defines an additional
environment (LyX-Code*) that doesn't indent on either side. The
original LyX-Code environment remains intact.
