Problem print pdflatex even page

[Waluyo Adi Siswanto]

Hi All

I have a problem when printing from viewpdf(pdflatex).
The print result of the even page always shifted to the left (towards outer
margin, it looks like the left margin of the even pages indented  about 12
mm),
therefore when I print double sided, the text area does not match.  The
correct ones is the odd pages.

This behavior does not happen in dvi and ps, the text areas in odd and even
pages are perfectly matched in double sided,
but the printed fonts are less quality compared with pdf print.

How can I get the matched text areas when I print viewpdf(psdflatex).

Thanks
/Adi

Compatibiliy issue with beamer-class and xcolor package

[Literatur Hiwi]

Hello!

In Lyx I chose a beamer class to be my document class.

Now I would like to use the xcolor package, hence I entered the following
into the preamble:

 

\usepackage[x11names]{xcolor}



Unfortunately I get the following message once I try to compile my file:

\definecolor
{darkgreen}{cmyk}{0.5, 0, 1, 0.5}
The package xcolor has already been loaded with options:
[]
There has now been an attempt to load it with options
[x11names]
Adding the global options:
,x11names
to your \documentclass declaration may fix this.
Try typing to proceed.



Is there a possibiliy to add the x11names option to the assumably already
loaded xcolor package?

Thanks a lot in advance!

 

Best regards,

 

TJ

Try adding it as a document option instead of a package option, I believe
packages use document options they recognize

I just want to add the information regarding this problem.
When I print file to pdf, from viewpdf(pdflatex), then I open this file,
now I can see the shifted text area in every even page (different with
viewpdf), just like what I get from the printer.

Could anyone help me to solve this problem.

under Document-Settings-Document Class
the first drop down box is the document class (you choose beamer there) and the
second line is the document options, you put xcolor=x11names there

It sounds as if you are set to print double-sided, in which case this is 
normal. Just turn off double-sided printing, in DocumentSettingsPage

If I disable two-sided, the there is no problem, the text area will be
printed in the at the center of the page, it does not differentiate
between odd and even number. But one-side is not applicable in a book
document, the odd and even headings are different, chapter always
written in odd page.
Actually the class that I have chosen (book KOMA-script, option DIV9)
does perfectly, it shows a correct pdf view, but when I print, I get
shifted text area of even pages.

I just recently tested two documents form help (did not change anything,
only view and print)
1. User Guide (book KOMA-script, two-sided)
   in view pdflatex, it shows a correct margin setting,
   but when it is printed, the even pages also shifted.
   ==you can try to print for example page 1 and page 2, two-sided,
 you will see page 2 shifted)
2. Introduction (book, two-sided)
   view pdflatex and print result perfectly matched.

I tried other documents in help, they behave similarly, KOMA-script
does not print as the view pdf.

I still need further discussion as I have not found a way to solve this.

If you are using a book or book KOMA-script class, the first page of
each chapter (by selecting the Chapter environment) will be  treated
differently.
Just have a try...

how to convert bib file with valid escape sequence

[Abe Lau]

As pointed out by Juergen, I should save my bibtex file as latin1 encoding
because I would likely get into problem with a UTF-8 encoded bibliography.
He further pointed out I should get all non-ascii character escaped.

I resaved my existing bibliography in JabRef using latin-1 encoding, and all
my child document works fine.  The problem arise when I build from my master
document, and I get tons of error:

e.g. Missing $ inserted.
..  Surg Br}, 84-B\penalty0 (SUPP_
  I):\penalty0 65--c,
   \url
Missing \endgroup inserted
   {http://proceedings.ieee/cgi/content/abstract/84-B/SUPP_I/...
The control sequence at the end of the top line
Latex Error: Lonely Item -- Perhaps a missing \list environment
etc

It looks like it is because my bib is not properly escaped.  I am wondering
what is the best way to apply proper escape sequence to existing
bibliography database (~200 entries).  Juergen suggested using recode
l1..ltex myfile.bib but mentioned there maybe chance that it mis-transform
\ to \backslash.

Despite the backslash problem (-d option just give me Recoding
reference_articles.bib... failed: Untranslatable input in step
`ISO-8859-1..LaTeX', and failed to convert), my doc now compiles without
error.

At the same time, all my bibliography attached at the end of the doc is
almost empty with a few a. b. c. as the first character!

and my bib is formatted like this:
@ARTICLE\{someone2008,
  author = \{someone\},
  title = \{The title\},
  journal = \{J something\},
  year = \{2008\},

Any insight on how I should fix the problem, or deal with the problem is
very much appreciated.

the  listings stuff but didn't understand the language. Return to Go,

When you reopened the doc, did LyX convert your ERT listings stuff  
to a listings inset??  If so, that can probably be worked around.   
You could load the listings package in the preamble and add a new  
environment (say mylistings) that simply begins/ends a listings  
environment with your new language selected.  Then use  
\begin{mylistings}...\end{mylistings} in ERT.  I doubt LyX would  
make any attempt to convert that.


I do not think that this is the problem. I used to use listings in ERT  
all the time and LyX never converted it automagically. I only  
recently switched to the listings inset, so in many of my documents  
ERT-based listings and listing insets now happily co-exist. I also use  
an own language.


A better workaround:

Load (or define) your language in the preamble. In the listings inset  
select No language, go to the Advanced page and directly pass the  
language= parameter to listings.

Re[2]: I'm unable to add a language to the listing package

 Hi,

 I've  just spent an afternoon and evening failing to add a language to
 listings. This is what I have:

 Lyx 1.5.6 with MiKTeX 2.7 running on Windows XP.

 I   have  written  a  language  definition  to  highlight  Cisco  IOS
 configurations and :-

 put   it   in   a   file   lstlang0.sty  in  C:\Program  Files\MiKTeX
 2.7\tex\latex\listings,  refreshed  the FNDB and formats in MiKTeX and
 reconfigured Lyx. It doesn't appear in the language drop down.

 Added  the definition to an existing .sty refreshed and reconfigured -
 same result.

 Moved  the  files  in  the  listing directory above to somewhere else.
 Refreshed and reconfigured and Lyx put them back! Same result.

 I  have read the listing documentation, searched the Lyx users archive
 and googled extensively but I'm no further forward.

 I  realize  that  I've  done  wrong and that I'm probably stupid but I
 can't trigger as much as an error message.

 Any  help  or  pointers  would  be  appreciated  before  my  mind goes
 completely.

 Steve.


   
 This should work, as I'm using it extensively. If you define the 
 language in the preamble like:

 \usepackage[usenames]{color}

 \definecolor{darkgreen}{rgb}{0.3,0.5,0.3}

 \definecolor{darkblue}{rgb}{0.3,0.3,0.5}

 \definecolor{darkred}{rgb}{0.5,0.3,0.3}

 \definecolor{darkcyan}{rgb}{0.3,0.5,0.5}


 \lstdefinelanguage{LUA}{%

 sensitive=true,%

 columns=fixed,%

 keywordstyle=[1]{\color{darkblue}\bfseries},%

 keywordstyle=[2]{\color{darkgreen}\bfseries},%

 morekeywords=[1]{local,if,then,else,end,while,do,function,coroutine,yield},%
 Official LUA keywords

 morekeywords=[2]{},% Your private keywords

 otherkeywords={.,=,~,*,,:},%

 morestring=[b],%

 stringstyle={\color{darkred}\itshape},%

 breaklines=true,%

 linewidth=\textwidth,%

 comment=[l]{--}%

 }


 You can set it as language in the inline or external listing by using
 language=LUA and bypassing validation.


 Marc Flerackers

Marc,

I've  played  with  this  and it's just what I need. Now I can produce
truly   ghastly   multicoloured   listings   at  the drop of a hat. Is
there a blink tag?

It would be nice though if Lyx picked up the language definitions from
lstlangx.sty.

Thanks to all for helpful advice and solutions.

Steve.

Tutorial Published on Using XSL stylesheets to fix lyX's Docbook XML implementation

[Chad A.]

Hi,

I have published a tutorial on how to use lyX to produce Docbook XML which
can be transformed into XHTML or PDF documents.  The tutorial shows how to
leverage XML technologies, such as XSL, to create customized versions of
Docbook XSL stylesheets that fix some of lyX's Docbook problems.

The tutorial, with source code, has been posted here:
http://www.neomantic.com/tutorials/lyx-and-docbookXML

Try doing easy/shorter things then. Getting into the code can be a lot to 
start with, and if the threshold is to high, you never get around to it 
:-)


For instance, pick an unconfirmed bug from bugzilla and try to replicate 
it and thus confirming it. That does help.


Or you could create a LyX example, illustrating something and then put it 
on the wiki. Or create a screencast?


I think the important thing is that you pick something that you'll enjoy 
doing (or that teaches you something you want to learn).

Problem print pdflatex even page

[Waluyo Adi Siswanto]

Hi All

I have a problem when printing from viewpdf(pdflatex).
The print result of the even page always shifted to the left (towards outer
margin, it looks like the left margin of the even pages indented  about 12
mm),
therefore when I print double sided, the text area does not match.  The
correct ones is the odd pages.

This behavior does not happen in dvi and ps, the text areas in odd and even
pages are perfectly matched in double sided,
but the printed fonts are less quality compared with pdf print.

How can I get the matched text areas when I print viewpdf(psdflatex).

Thanks

Re: Problem print pdflatex even page

[Waluyo Adi Siswanto]

I just want to add the information regarding this problem.
When I print file to pdf, from viewpdf(pdflatex), then I open this file,
now I can see the shifted text area in every even page (different with
viewpdf), just like what I get from the printer.

Could anyone help me to solve this problem.

xcolor package vs. beamer class

Hallo!

I am using a beamer class in Lyx and have a problem with applying the xcolor
package to it.

In Latex the command is  \documentclass[xcolor=x11names]{beamer}. How can
I make it work in Lyx?

Thanks!

It sounds as if you are set to print double-sided, in which case this is 
normal. Just turn off double-sided printing, in DocumentSettingsPage

If I disable two-sided, the there is no problem, the text area will be
printed in the at the center of the page, it does not differentiate
between odd and even number. But one-side is not applicable in a book
document, the odd and even headings are different, chapter always
written in odd page.
Actually the class that I have chosen (book KOMA-script, option DIV9)
does perfectly, it shows a correct pdf view, but when I print, I get
shifted text area of even pages.

I just recently tested two documents form help (did not change anything,
only view and print)
1. User Guide (book KOMA-script, two-sided)
   in view pdflatex, it shows a correct margin setting,
   but when it is printed, the even pages also shifted.
   ==you can try to print for example page 1 and page 2, two-sided,
 you will see page 2 shifted)
2. Introduction (book, two-sided)
   view pdflatex and print result perfectly matched.

I tried other documents in help, they behave similarly, KOMA-script
does not print as the view pdf.

If you are using a book or book KOMA-script class, the first page of
each chapter (by selecting the Chapter environment) will be  treated
differently.

how to convert bib file with valid escape sequence

[Abe Lau]

As pointed out by Juergen, I should save my bibtex file as latin1 encoding
because I would likely get into problem with a UTF-8 encoded bibliography.
He further pointed out I should get all non-ascii character escaped.

I resaved my existing bibliography in JabRef using latin-1 encoding, and all
my child document works fine.  The problem arise when I build from my master
document, and I get tons of error:

e.g. Missing $ inserted.
..  Surg Br}, 84-B\penalty0 (SUPP_
  I):\penalty0 65--c,
   \url
Missing \endgroup inserted
   {http://proceedings.ieee/cgi/content/abstract/84-B/SUPP_I/...
The control sequence at the end of the top line
Latex Error: Lonely Item -- Perhaps a missing \list environment
etc

It looks like it is because my bib is not properly escaped.  I am wondering
what is the best way to apply proper escape sequence to existing
bibliography database (~200 entries).  Juergen suggested using recode
l1..ltex myfile.bib but mentioned there maybe chance that it mis-transform
\ to \backslash.

Despite the backslash problem (-d option just give me Recoding
reference_articles.bib... failed: Untranslatable input in step
`ISO-8859-1..LaTeX', and failed to convert), my doc now compiles without
error.

At the same time, all my bibliography attached at the end of the doc is
almost empty with a few a. b. c. as the first character!

and my bib is formatted like this:
@ARTICLE\{someone2008,
  author = \{someone\},
  title = \{The title\},
  journal = \{J something\},
  year = \{2008\},

Any insight on how I should fix the problem, or deal with the problem is
very much appreciated.

the  listings stuff but didn't understand the language. Return to Go,

When you reopened the doc, did LyX convert your ERT listings stuff  
to a listings inset??  If so, that can probably be worked around.   
You could load the listings package in the preamble and add a new  
environment (say mylistings) that simply begins/ends a listings  
environment with your new language selected.  Then use  
\begin{mylistings}...\end{mylistings} in ERT.  I doubt LyX would  
make any attempt to convert that.


I do not think that this is the problem. I used to use listings in ERT  
all the time and LyX never converted it automagically. I only  
recently switched to the listings inset, so in many of my documents  
ERT-based listings and listing insets now happily co-exist. I also use  
an own language.


A better workaround:

Load (or define) your language in the preamble. In the listings inset  
select No language, go to the Advanced page and directly pass the  
language= parameter to listings.

Re[2]: I'm unable to add a language to the listing package

 Hi,

 I've  just spent an afternoon and evening failing to add a language to
 listings. This is what I have:

 Lyx 1.5.6 with MiKTeX 2.7 running on Windows XP.

 I   have  written  a  language  definition  to  highlight  Cisco  IOS
 configurations and :-

 put   it   in   a   file   lstlang0.sty  in  C:\Program  Files\MiKTeX
 2.7\tex\latex\listings,  refreshed  the FNDB and formats in MiKTeX and
 reconfigured Lyx. It doesn't appear in the language drop down.

 Added  the definition to an existing .sty refreshed and reconfigured -
 same result.

 Moved  the  files  in  the  listing directory above to somewhere else.
 Refreshed and reconfigured and Lyx put them back! Same result.

 I  have read the listing documentation, searched the Lyx users archive
 and googled extensively but I'm no further forward.

 I  realize  that  I've  done  wrong and that I'm probably stupid but I
 can't trigger as much as an error message.

 Any  help  or  pointers  would  be  appreciated  before  my  mind goes
 completely.

 Steve.


   
 This should work, as I'm using it extensively. If you define the 
 language in the preamble like:

 \usepackage[usenames]{color}

 \definecolor{darkgreen}{rgb}{0.3,0.5,0.3}

 \definecolor{darkblue}{rgb}{0.3,0.3,0.5}

 \definecolor{darkred}{rgb}{0.5,0.3,0.3}

 \definecolor{darkcyan}{rgb}{0.3,0.5,0.5}


 \lstdefinelanguage{LUA}{%

 sensitive=true,%

 columns=fixed,%

 keywordstyle=[1]{\color{darkblue}\bfseries},%

 keywordstyle=[2]{\color{darkgreen}\bfseries},%

 morekeywords=[1]{local,if,then,else,end,while,do,function,coroutine,yield},%
 Official LUA keywords

 morekeywords=[2]{},% Your private keywords

 otherkeywords={.,=,~,*,,:},%

 morestring=[b],%

 stringstyle={\color{darkred}\itshape},%

 breaklines=true,%

 linewidth=\textwidth,%

 comment=[l]{--}%

 }


 You can set it as language in the inline or external listing by using
 language=LUA and bypassing validation.

Marc,

I've  played  with  this  and it's just what I need. Now I can produce
truly   ghastly   multicoloured   listings   at  the drop of a hat. Is
there a blink tag?

It would be nice though if Lyx picked up the language definitions from
lstlangx.sty.

Thanks to all for helpful advice and solutions.

Tutorial Published on Using XSL stylesheets to fix lyX's Docbook XML implementation

[Chad A.]

Hi,

I have published a tutorial on how to use lyX to produce Docbook XML which
can be transformed into XHTML or PDF documents.  The tutorial shows how to
leverage XML technologies, such as XSL, to create customized versions of
Docbook XSL stylesheets that fix some of lyX's Docbook problems.

The tutorial, with source code, has been posted here:
http://www.neomantic.com/tutorials/lyx-and-docbookXML

Try doing easy/shorter things then. Getting into the code can be a lot to 
start with, and if the threshold is to high, you never get around to it 
:-)


For instance, pick an unconfirmed bug from bugzilla and try to replicate 
it and thus confirming it. That does help.


Or you could create a LyX example, illustrating something and then put it 
on the wiki. Or create a screencast?


I think the important thing is that you pick something that you'll enjoy 
doing (or that teaches you something you want to learn).

Problem print pdflatex even page

[Waluyo Adi Siswanto]

Hi All

I have a problem when printing from viewpdf(pdflatex).
The print result of the even page always shifted to the left (towards outer
margin, it looks like the left margin of the even pages indented  about 12
mm),
therefore when I print double sided, the text area does not match.  The
correct ones is the odd pages.

This behavior does not happen in dvi and ps, the text areas in odd and even
pages are perfectly matched in double sided,
but the printed fonts are less quality compared with pdf print.

How can I get the matched text areas when I print viewpdf(psdflatex).

Thanks

Compatibiliy issue with beamer-class and xcolor package

[Literatur Hiwi]

Hello!

In Lyx I chose a beamer class to be my "document class".

Now I would like to use the xcolor package, hence I entered the following
into the preamble:

 

\usepackage[x11names]{xcolor}



Unfortunately I get the following message once I try to compile my file:

\definecolor
{darkgreen}{cmyk}{0.5, 0, 1, 0.5}
The package xcolor has already been loaded with options:
[]
There has now been an attempt to load it with options
[x11names]
Adding the global options:
,x11names
to your \documentclass declaration may fix this.
Try typing to proceed.



Is there a possibiliy to add the x11names option to the assumably already
loaded xcolor package?

Thanks a lot in advance!

 

Best regards,

 

TJ

   view pdflatex and print result perfectly matched.

I tried other documents in "help", they behave similarly, KOMA-script
does not print as the view pdf.

I still need further discussion as I have not found a way to solve this.
Please let me now if this problem occurs only to me(need to
reinstall?)

I am using LyX 1.5.5 in Ubuntu 8.04 .. 
not expert in LaTeX, just LyX user since months ago

If you are using a "book" or "book KOMA-script" class, the first page of
each chapter (by selecting the Chapter environment) will be  treated
differently.
Just have a try...

Re: different margins

[Robert Orr]

Include this in ERT

\setlength{\evensidemargin}{-1cm}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-1cm}

how to convert bib file with valid escape sequence

[Abe Lau]

As pointed out by Juergen, I should save my bibtex file as latin1 encoding
because I would likely get into problem with a UTF-8 encoded bibliography.
He further pointed out I should get all non-ascii character escaped.

I resaved my existing bibliography in JabRef using latin-1 encoding, and all
my child document works fine.  The problem arise when I build from my master
document, and I get tons of error:

e.g. Missing $ inserted.
..  Surg Br}, 84-B\penalty0 (SUPP_
  I):\penalty0 65--c,
   \url
Missing \endgroup inserted
   {http://proceedings.ieee/cgi/content/abstract/84-B/SUPP_I/...
The control sequence at the end of the top line
Latex Error: Lonely Item -- Perhaps a missing \list environment
etc

It looks like it is because my bib is not properly escaped.  I am wondering
what is the best way to apply proper escape sequence to existing
bibliography database (~200 entries).  Juergen suggested using "recode
l1..ltex myfile.bib" but mentioned there maybe chance that it mis-transform
"\" to "\backslash".

Despite the backslash problem (-d option just give me Recoding
reference_articles.bib... failed: Untranslatable input in step
`ISO-8859-1..LaTeX', and failed to convert), my doc now compiles without
error.

At the same time, all my bibliography attached at the end of the doc is
almost empty with a few "a." "b." "c." as the first character!

and my bib is formatted like this:
@ARTICLE\{someone2008,
  author = \{someone\},
  title = \{The title\},
  journal = \{J something\},
  year = \{2008\},

Any insight on how I should fix the problem, or deal with the problem is
very much appreciated.

the  listings stuff but didn't understand the language. Return to Go,
go directly to Go, do not collect £200!


When you reopened the doc, did LyX convert your ERT listings stuff  
to a listings inset??  If so, that can probably be worked around.   
You could load the listings package in the preamble and add a new  
environment (say "mylistings") that simply begins/ends a listings  
environment with your new language selected.  Then use  
\begin{mylistings}...\end{mylistings} in ERT.  I doubt LyX would  
make any attempt to convert that.


I do not think that this is the problem. I used to use listings in ERT  
all the time and LyX never converted it "automagically". I only  
recently switched to the listings inset, so in many of my documents  
ERT-based listings and listing insets now happily co-exist. I also use  
an own language.


A better workaround:

Load (or define) your language in the preamble. In the listings inset  
select "No language", go to the "Advanced" page and directly pass the  
language= parameter to listings.

Marc,

I've  played  with  this  and it's just what I need. Now I can produce
truly   ghastly   multicoloured   listings   at  the drop of a hat. Is
there a  tag?

It would be nice though if Lyx picked up the language definitions from
lstlangx.sty.

Thanks to all for helpful advice and solutions.

Steve.

Tutorial Published on Using XSL stylesheets to fix lyX's Docbook XML implementation

[Chad A.]

Hi,

I have published a tutorial on how to use lyX to produce Docbook XML which
can be transformed into XHTML or PDF documents.  The tutorial shows how to
leverage XML technologies, such as XSL, to create customized versions of
Docbook XSL stylesheets that fix some of lyX's Docbook problems.

The tutorial, with source code, has been posted here:
http://www.neomantic.com/tutorials/lyx-and-docbookXML

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated,
Chad

What if you check for the messages on gmane? (The news interface). Do you 
see them there?

Try doing easy/shorter things then. Getting into the code can be a lot to 
start with, and if the threshold is to high, you never get around to it 
:-)


For instance, pick an unconfirmed bug from bugzilla and try to replicate 
it and thus confirming it. That does help.


Or you could create a LyX example, illustrating something and then put it 
on the wiki. Or create a screencast?


I think the important thing is that you pick something that you'll enjoy 
doing (or that teaches you something you want to learn).


regards
/Christian

By the way, trying to fix some of the minor bugs doesn't have to be that 
difficult.

Umm... given your signature, improving the documentation seems like a good 
candidate. Either the help documents, or the wiki. Just some ideas..


Or perhaps preparing good arguments for why LyX is a good choice:-)

What do think of hosting it on the LyX wiki? (Either moving it, or just

Re: Problem print pdflatex even page

[Waluyo Adi Siswanto]

Report:

I did try in Windows XP SP3 (LyX version 1.5.6):
I got perfectly matched even and odd pages for KOMA-script, when I
print two-sided.
So.. for the time being: I work in Ubuntu and print using Windows.
Maybe after I finish this book.. I will try 1.6 in Ubuntu

How to get Springer class working?

[Sengly Heng]

Dear all,

I am looking for help in getting a springer class works. I have searched
through the web and the forum and tried to modified this and that but still
I could not manage to get it working. There is always this message:

Warning: Document class not available

The layout file requested by this document,
llncs.layout,
is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX
class or style file required by it is not
available. See the Customization documentation
for more information.
LyX will not be able to produce output.

Please share your experience.

Thank you.

Regards,

Sengly
