How to increase the levels of an enumerated list

[griera]

Helo:

I am trying to increase the number of levels in a numbered list. By default I 
have 4 levels:

1. 

(a) 

i. 

A

I would like to have 6 nivels:

1. 

(a) 

i. 

A

level 5

level 6

I try to enlarge the number of levels displacing to the right the mark of the 
line Numbering in the box Document - Settings - Numbering TOC, but the 
number of levels does not enlarge. How to do that?

I am use the version 1.4.3 in debian stable.

Thanks in advance. Regards. G Riera.

Re: lyx1.5 on PPC Mac

Hi -

I have serious problems using LyX 1.5 on a PPC Mac, with OSX10.4,  
from the downloaded binaries. This occurs even after I re-installed  
my operating system, MacTex and LyX from scratch.

These are as follows;

1) The export menu doesn't list the usual options. It only gives  
options of `rtf' or `custom', which in turn generates a menu for  
inserting user-defined commands. I have no idea how to use this.  
There are no defaults, and I don't know how to get pdf or ps or  
latex output. This is a serious problem, as I need pdf and latex  
outputs every time I use Lyx.


2) Once a Lyx file is saved, it is not compatible with previous Lyx  
versions. Hence, one cannot simply save the lyx file, then re-open  
it with an older version of the program and export from there. In  
the PPC version of Lyx1.5, the export menu gives no options for  
export to older lyx versions either, so even this is blocked.


3) There is recent version of Lyx1.4.5.1 which can read the LyX1.5  
files, but this reports installation errors when I install it from  
the installer program. This can handle latex export but reports  
other errors (from font issues) on attempting a pdf export. It is  
not a longterm solution, although at least it has a working export  
menu.


4) Strangely enough, the font errors don't occur when I simply use  
latex directly. Also, they didn't occur in earlier LyX releases, so  
it seems like a problem with paths.


5) In PPC Lyx1.5, I find that the usual default options of  
numerical bibliography style cannot be saved. Instead, one must use  
natbib. But this appears to have a bug, which means that in the pdf  
preview some references are numerical, some have error mesages  
about missing authors. The final result is essentially unusable.


6) So in summary, to use LyX1.5 PPC I have to a) edit inside  
LyX1.5.1 b)save the LyX1.5 file c)open with Lyx 1.4.5.1 d) export  
latex e) fix the bibliography errors f) compile latex to pdf.


Any help would be greatly appreciated! Note, these problems appear  
unique to PPC Lyx1.5. binaries, and did not occur with most earlier  
releases. There are fewer problems with Mac Intel binaries.

Yours, Peter Drummond.


Peter,

I am not sure if I can help you, but here are some suggestions:
From your description it seems like your preferences are messed up.  
Try to rename (or remove, but you may have things in it you want to  
keep) the LyX-1.5-folder under your home directory/Library/ 
Application Support and restart LyX. Also try to open Terminal and  
make a sudo texhash.
You can also check so that you don't have any strange characters or  
spaces in the paths to vital folders (I think LyX should be able to  
cope with it, but it's always good to check).
Finally a more radical approach would be to build the binary on your  
computer if you have the development tools installed. If you like to  
try and have problems, send me a mail and I will try to help you.

Re: Change Tracking not visible in output. How to install {xcolor} and {soul}?

[KTl]

Hi,

I experience the same problem on my Mac running LyX 1.5.1. When I look
at Tools/TeX Information/LaTeX styles I see both, xcolor.sty and
soul.sty. I tested xcolor form the terminal and it worked. Soul
contains as far as I can tell only the .sty file, so copying it to a
location included in the path should do (and it is even recognized by
LyX).

Doesn't solve the problem however ...
Kurt



 I'd like to see the change tracking in the pdflatex output. However, I
 only get the error that I've to install xcolor and soul or define
 \lyxdeleted and \lyxadded. As I'm not a latex professional I couldn't
 really figure out how to do that.

 Any Ideas? (You have been great so far :-)!)

 btw: I'm running lyx 1.5.0 on Ubuntu 7.04

 Cheers
 Michael

LyX 1.5.1 crashes on SUSE 10.2: resolved

[Lorenzo Paulatto]

Hi lyx users,
I have solved this one on my own, I write you in case someone else has
the same problem.

After updating to lyx 1.5.1 the program was crashing with this message:
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_errorboost::filesystem::basic_pathstd::string,
boost::filesystem::path_traits '
  what():  boost::filesystem::exists
Aborted

and exit code 134.

Checking with strace it turned out that the directory /usr/share/local
had some problem, actually it had not the execution permission. Running
the command:
chmod -R a+X /usr/share/local
as root, solved the problem.

I hope it helps.

From your description it seems like your preferences are messed up.  
Try to rename (or remove, but you may have things in it you want to  
keep) the LyX-1.5-folder under your home directory/Library/ 
Application Support and restart LyX. Also try to open Terminal and  
make a sudo texhash.
You can also check so that you don't have any strange characters or  
spaces in the paths to vital folders (I think LyX should be able to  
cope with it, but it's always good to check).

How to increase the levels of an enumerated list

[griera]

Helo:

I am trying to increase the number of levels in a numbered list. By default I 
have 4 levels:

1. 

(a) 

i. 

A

I would like to have 6 nivels:

1. 

(a) 

i. 

A





I try to enlarge the number of levels displacing to the right the mark of the 
line "Numbering" in the box Document -> Settings -> Numbering , but the 
number of levels does not enlarge. How to do that?

I am use the version 1.4.3 in debian stable.

Thanks in advance. Regards. G Riera.

Re: lyx1.5 on PPC Mac

[Anders Ekberg]

Peter Drummond
Thu, 06 Sep 2007 19:14:14 -0700

Hi -

I have serious problems using LyX 1.5 on a PPC Mac, with OSX10.4,  
from the downloaded binaries. This occurs even after I re-installed  
my operating system, MacTex and LyX from scratch.

These are as follows;

1) The export menu doesn't list the usual options. It only gives  
options of `rtf' or `custom', which in turn generates a menu for  
inserting user-defined commands. I have no idea how to use this.  
There are no defaults, and I don't know how to get pdf or ps or  
latex output. This is a serious problem, as I need pdf and latex  
outputs every time I use Lyx.


2) Once a Lyx file is saved, it is not compatible with previous Lyx  
versions. Hence, one cannot simply save the lyx file, then re-open  
it with an older version of the program and export from there. In  
the PPC version of Lyx1.5, the export menu gives no options for  
export to older lyx versions either, so even this is blocked.


3) There is recent version of Lyx1.4.5.1 which can read the LyX1.5  
files, but this reports installation errors when I install it from  
the installer program. This can handle latex export but reports  
other errors (from font issues) on attempting a pdf export. It is  
not a longterm solution, although at least it has a working export  
menu.


4) Strangely enough, the font errors don't occur when I simply use  
latex directly. Also, they didn't occur in earlier LyX releases, so  
it seems like a problem with paths.


5) In PPC Lyx1.5, I find that the usual default options of  
numerical bibliography style cannot be saved. Instead, one must use  
natbib. But this appears to have a bug, which means that in the pdf  
preview some references are numerical, some have error mesages  
about missing authors. The final result is essentially unusable.


6) So in summary, to use LyX1.5 PPC I have to a) edit inside  
LyX1.5.1 b)save the LyX1.5 file c)open with Lyx 1.4.5.1 d) export  
latex e) fix the bibliography errors f) compile latex to pdf.


Any help would be greatly appreciated! Note, these problems appear  
unique to PPC Lyx1.5. binaries, and did not occur with most earlier  
releases. There are fewer problems with Mac Intel binaries.

Yours, Peter Drummond.


Peter,

I am not sure if I can help you, but here are some suggestions:
From your description it seems like your preferences are messed up.  
Try to rename (or remove, but you may have things in it you want to  
keep) the LyX-1.5-folder under your home directory/Library/ 
Application Support and restart LyX. Also try to open Terminal and  
make a sudo texhash.
You can also check so that you don't have any strange characters or  
spaces in the paths to vital folders (I think LyX should be able to  
cope with it, but it's always good to check).
Finally a more radical approach would be to build the binary on your  
computer if you have the development tools installed. If you like to  
try and have problems, send me a mail and I will try to help you.

Re: Change Tracking not visible in output. How to install {xcolor} and {soul}?

[KTl]

Hi,

I experience the same problem on my Mac running LyX 1.5.1. When I look
at "Tools/TeX Information/LaTeX styles" I see both, "xcolor.sty" and
"soul.sty". I tested "xcolor" form the terminal and it worked. "Soul"
contains as far as I can tell only the .sty file, so copying it to a
location included in the path should do (and it is even recognized by
LyX).

Doesn't solve the problem however ...

You can only nest 4 levels of the same type, this is a LaTeX restriction. But you can e.g. set the 
last two levels as itemized, see the attached example.

LyX 1.5.1 crashes on SUSE 10.2: resolved

[Lorenzo Paulatto]

Hi lyx users,
I have solved this one on my own, I write you in case someone else has
the same problem.

After updating to lyx 1.5.1 the program was crashing with this message:
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_error >'
  what():  boost::filesystem::exists
Aborted

and exit code 134.

Checking with strace it turned out that the directory /usr/share/local
had some problem, actually it had not the execution permission. Running
the command:
chmod -R a+X /usr/share/local
as root, solved the problem.

I hope it helps.

Which reminds me of another yet-unstarted battle: Do we really want
hard crashs as the prefered way to tell the user that there is something
wrong in Denmark?
