Conflict with Hyperref + Floats?
HI, I posted a message yesterday about a problem I was having with algorithm floats. I did a lot of debugging and finally (after very long line by line debugging) found that the problem seems to be some sort of conflict when using the hyperref package. Can anyone else confirm this? Does anyone know of a work around? Any other advice/help is very welcome! Thanks, Ryan Cross
Summations, limits...

2 Abstracts, 1 German
Hi all, I am completing my PhD-Thesis in lyx. The thesis is in English, but since it's a German university, I am required to feature two abstracts, one in English, one in German. For the English abstract everything is fine: I go to the beginnig of the text, change the text to Abstract and start typing. The heading Abstract is inserted automatically. Now I inserted a page break and again changed to Abstract. Now however, I need the German word Zusammenfassung as the heading. The problem is, lyx does not insert a heading at all in this second abstract. And if it did, I wouldn't know how to change it. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot, Sebastian
change size of chapter titles
Hello fellow Lyx'ers! I'm relatively new in the Lyx/Latex realm, so this may be a a question that someone with more experience will find easy to answer: How to change the size of chapter titles?

Re: Excel graphs into Lyx
Well, I do not use Excel but OO-Calc. It reads Excel sheets to a certain degree... then, after preparing the graph of a table in OO-Calc, I copy the graph to the OO-Impress (PowerPoint clone). This software allows me to export to jpg in quite high quality. Well OO is for free... Anybody with experience of this? -KB PS: The people who have the free time to learn a bit gnuplot might want to export the Excel data into the CVS format, and use the gnuplot graphics, which can use also jpg or fig or whatsoever...

Numbered sections: why 0.1 and not 1 etc.?
Hi everybody, I am a newcomer and I am using since a few days Lyx 1.5.4 for Mac and the class report: why if I use numbered sections (without parts, chapters etc.: just sections) the authomated numbers are 0.1, 0.2 etc?

how to set a larger font size in amsbook
It looks to me that I could only choose a maximum base font size of 12 in amsbook. Is there any way I could use a slightly larger font size, e.g. 13/14? I have tried to add 13 to the file amsbook.layout. While the lyx interface allows me to change the size to 13, it has no effect on the output PDF. Thanks, Abe
Re: UI Localization of 1.5.6 on Mac
Hello Peter, Peter Baumgartner wrote: Could anyone explain how to change the environment variable LANG on the Mac from English to German? The new 1.5.6 version of LyX for the Mac comes by default with the English UI. Is that done by purpose or a bug? With the version 1.5.5 I didn't have this problem. Will the change of the environment variable affect other programs as well? This seems to be a regression. Until this is fixed, you can use the following workaround: In Terminal.app, type export LANG=de_DE and then start Lyx from within that Terminal window with /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx. Adapt the above path to where you have your LyX.app, and change the german de_DE to e.g. fr_FR for French, etc. This will not affect any other applications since the above LANG setting is only in effect in this one Terminal window. If you would want to do this permanently (and system-wide), you can use the http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCEnvironment/ preference pane and set LANG to whatever the termnial command defaults read Apple Global Domain AppleLocale tells you. HTH, Konrad P.S. For testing, I will post two alternative builds soon, maybe you can test if the same problem persists with these.

The problem is likely that you don't have a layout file for this class,
which means that LyX doesn't know about it, though LaTeX might. It's
based upon report.cls, so the attached should do it, or at least be a
good start. Put this in the /layout directory of your local LyX
configuration directory---that would be ~/.lyx/layouts/ in my case---and
then launch LyX, hit ToolsReconfigure, close, and relaunch. You should
then have a toptesi layout available, and import should work.

how to set a larger font size in amsbook
It looks to me that I could only choose a maximum base font size of 12 in amsbook. Is there any way I could use a slightly larger font size, e.g. 13/14? I have tried to add 13 to the file amsbook.layout. While the lyx interface allows me to change the size to 13, it has no effect on the output PDF. Thanks, Abe

The new 1.5.6 version of LyX for the Mac comes by default with the English UI. Is that done by purpose or a bug? With the version 1.5.5 I didn't have this problem. Will the change of the environment variable affect other programs as well? This seems to be a regression. Until this is fixed, you can use the following workaround: In Terminal.app, type export LANG=de_DE and then start Lyx from within that Terminal window with /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx. Adapt the above path to where you have your LyX.app, and change the german de_DE to e.g. fr_FR for French, etc. This will not affect any other applications since the above LANG setting is only in effect in this one Terminal window.

Mark your German text as German new spelling in the character dialog.

The problem is likely that you don't have a layout file for this class,
which means that LyX doesn't know about it, though LaTeX might. It's
based upon report.cls, so the attached should do it, or at least be a
good start. Put this in the /layout directory of your local LyX
configuration directory---that would be ~/.lyx/layouts/ in my case---and
then launch LyX, hit ToolsReconfigure, close, and relaunch. You should
then have a toptesi layout available, and import should work.

The Grace (or xmgrace) format is accepted by LyX directly, and is a vector format, so the results are excellent. -- Les ~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Viewing changes in output document
Hello forum, today I discovered the function of tracking changes in Lyx documents... I think it is great! but when I wanted to create my output (dvi) with marked changes, lyx says it is not possible because I don't have installed "xcolors/soul" and "dvipost"... but I do have installed them! Does anyone know this problem? and maybe a solution? thank you! álvaro PS: rebooting didn't help either! :-( -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Viewing-changes-in-output-document-tp680698p680698.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I'll add a plug for R (http://www.r-project.org/) R like gnuplot produces much nicer graphs than any spreadsheet program. Unfortuately, it's not all that easy to learn but the professional appearance matches what LyX does for text. Outputs in png, ps, jpeg ... Here are a couple of examples of the possible output. http://ca.geocities.com/jrkrideau/R/heartbeat.png http://ca.geocities.com/jrkrideau/images/michele1.graph.pdf See http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/ for some really sophisticated examples. __ Yahoo!

Use of Personal Dictionary
Hello, I have another problem with lyx, namely that I am not able to use a personal dictionary. Although I set it to use a file in a particular directory, it keeps on using the default of "docs and setts\all users\application data\aspell\personal" Is it possible to set another dictionary? how? must it have a particular format? I have just copied the one of aspell... I'm looking forward to receiving your replies! thank you Álvaro -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Use-of-Personal-Dictionary-tp680755p680755.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Using the toptesi package with Lyx
Hi! I've just found out that my Master's thesis MUST be written using the TOPtesi format/layout..and I have to get it done in 23 days, so I'm in a kind of a hurry ;-), the thing is that I've written quite a bit of it in Lyx since I'm no expert in Latex, and I really like Lyx because it is really nice and simple to work with. I use miktex and i have downloaded the package from the repositories, but still I get an error when a try to import a latex document written with the package (a friend of mine gave me a latex file with a TOC and titles that uses TOPtesi) I really wouldn't want to change editor at this point so if anyone knows how to use that particular package in Lyx I would really appreciate it, or if anyone can explain me how to do it myself I would be glad to do it and share it with the rest of the world! thanks! julian -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Using-the-toptesi-package-with-Lyx-tp680776p680776.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: Summations, limits...

I press the button which lets me do top and bottom, but LyX adds the lines above and below, but it also centers the expression to the center of the page. How do I keep LyX from doing this? I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand. I don't see a button for "top and bottom". If you want to enter limits on a sum, you can just type: \sum\_0^n. Limits are sub- and superscripts, nothing else.

The problem is, lyx does not insert a heading at all in this second

Mark your German text as German new spelling in the character dialog.
If this is not enough, add the heading manually. The abstract handling
strongly depends on the document class you are using, so also have a
look at its documentation.
The easiest thing is probably just to do it manually. Here's the
definition of the abstract environment from the report class:

Hello fellow Lyx'ers!
I'm relatively new in the Lyx/Latex realm, so this may be a a question
that someone with more experience will find easy to answer: How to
change the size of chapter titles? I'm using the book class, so
chapter titles appear in Huge\Bold fond. I would like to have them in

Use the titlesec package, whose documentation is here:

The problem is likely that you don't have a layout file for this class,
which means that LyX doesn't know about it, though LaTeX might. It's
based upon report.cls, so the attached should do it, or at least be a
good start. Put this in the /layout directory of your local LyX
configuration directory---that would be ~/.lyx/layouts/ in my case---and
then launch LyX, hit Tools>Reconfigure, close, and relaunch. You should
then have a toptesi layout available, and import should work.

You certainly could try adapting this to a new \DeclareOption section.
You might even just include the bit from memoir.cls.
