See the KOMA-Script manual for more informations about options and
their values.

Is there something obviously different between the Mac and
Windows that
could help me solve this problem.
Mac prefers to store text files in UTF-8, while Windows tends to
use either 16 bit unicode or ISO with codepages. Another issue are
line endings. So you often need to convert text files when moving
from one system to another.
Open the files with a text editor (such as TextWrangler) that can
translate them to Windows.
I have tried opening in Emacs and Notepad, and saving) and I have
commented out all the lines and retyped them fresh, but still get the
same error. The file compiles OK on Linux as well as the Mac, so yes
it seems to be something specific to Windows.
My lines of code giving the problem are:
\KOMAoptions{%

Re: Melissa Woolston/GB/INT/Kelly is out of the office.
This is not first time, when some unwanted people are subscribed to the list. Maybe word unwanted is inadequate here... let's say they generated unwanted garbage from time to time. Unanswered question is are they add themselves some time ago or someone add them mistakenly (evil or not - does not matter). I think someone should be moderator on this list able to manually disable or unsubscribe people, who asking about it. Automated vacations and responders do not recognize lists and replies to everyone who to the list. That is why it is better to have multiple mail accounts or separation system (procmail based for example). 2008/8/19 Jürgen Spitzmüller [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manveru wrote: Would be nice...

Is this LyX-generated code or your own Preamble stuff?
I have not tried, but should there not be a %-sign at the end of each
line ??? Plus, there is a ',' too much on the first line.
So this is I believe not a cross-platform issue but wrong syntax (which
happens to be forgiven or not depending on the platform and Koma version).
Try putting everything on one line, i.e.
\KOMAoptions{fromalign=right, fromrule=aftername ,fromlogo=true,
backaddress=false} and I am almost sure everything works.

Re: Lyx cross platform compatability - is there a problem?
Christian, As you will see, from my other post, the issue was a leading comma in the preamble, setting the Komascript options. It seems that both the Mac and Linux are forgiving of this syntax error, but Windows is not. So it isn't a Windows issue, but a sloppy syntax issue on my part. Thanks for your help.

example of layout module for LyX 1.6
Hi,
I just wanted to share a simple and probably imperfect layout module for
LyX 1.6. I do not know much about LaTeX, so I used the examples provided
with LyX and google to create this file. I called it
moremathsfunctions.module (it should be placed in the layouts folder

the dashed lines, so people can comment on the code):

I used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions as a
reference for the functions I added. And before someone says so, Fourier

I hope this can be helpful to someone. I like this layout module feature

Re: example of layout module for LyX 1.6
Thanks Oliver,
I still don't understand the underlying philosophy of layout modules:
0) What is a layout module?
1) Why are they better than just writing your own layout file?
2) How do you decide when to use them?
3) By what design methodology do you create them?
4) What are the attributes of a good layout module?
5) What are the attributes of a bad layout module?
Thanks

Maybe I do understand it. Is a layout module just a chunk of debugged
LyX/LaTeX code that would normally go in a layout file, and gets included in
the layout file by reference? So you could mix and match layout modules to
get a more granular modularization, similar to #include in C?
So is it a way to write once, use many times? Is it a way to use
known-debugged LyX/LaTeX code? And is it a way for all of us to trade
debugged and tested code without throwing in every silly little feature we
put in our book?
Thanks

Thanks Oliver,
I still don't understand the underlying philosophy of layout modules:
0) What is a layout module?
1) Why are they better than just writing your own layout file?
2) How do you decide when to use them?
3) By what design methodology do you create them?
4) What are the attributes of a good layout module?
5) What are the attributes of a bad layout module?
Hi Steve,
I personally have no idea, but I suspect the answer can be found by asking
on the developers' list :-)
Best regards,

PS. Once 1.6 is out, I think the layout module should be stored somewhere
in the wiki.

Open the files with a text editor (such as TextWrangler) that can

I have not tried, but should there not be a %-sign at the end of each

So this is I believe not a cross-platform issue but wrong syntax (which
happens to be forgiven or not depending on the platform and Koma version).
Try putting everything on one line, i.e.

This layout module is simply adding the definitions to the preamble.
Then, when you type in a formula \erf for instance, it will not be
interpreted by LyX (unless you use preview-latex stuff). But when
generating the pdf, they will be correctly interpreted as functions
(i.e. not in italic, and with a small space afterwards).
The advantage of having them in a layout module is that you do not have
to add them in a preamble by hand. Just add the module to the document
settings, as described in http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16#toc4 .
Of course if someone has any ideas to provide more functionality, any
idea is welcome (that's the reason for posting the module).
You can also have layouts that will create text styles or environments,
and those will appear in some menus automatically. That's how I have
implemented my filename and code text styles. See the
logicalmkup.module file for an example or my module below.
When I add my customstyles.module to the document settings, two
entries appear in the Edit-Text Style menu for using them. And when I
use them, LyX correctly change the text style accordingly. Here it is
for reference:

Re: example of layout module for LyX 1.6
Thanks Oliver,
I still don't understand the underlying philosophy of layout modules:
0) What is a layout module?
1) Why are they better than just writing your own layout file?
2) How do you decide when to use them?
3) By what design methodology do you create them?
4) What are the attributes of a good layout module?
5) What are the attributes of a bad layout module?
Thanks

This layout module is simply adding the definitions to the preamble.
Then, when you type in a formula \erf for instance, it will not be
interpreted by LyX (unless you use preview-latex stuff). But when
generating the pdf, they will be correctly interpreted as functions
(i.e. not in italic, and with a small space afterwards).
The advantage of having them in a layout module is that you do not have
to add them in a preamble by hand. Just add the module to the document
settings, as described in http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16#toc4 .
Of course if someone has any ideas to provide more functionality, any
idea is welcome (that's the reason for posting the module).
You can also have layouts that will create text styles or environments,
and those will appear in some menus automatically. That's how I have
implemented my filename and code text styles. See the
logicalmkup.module file for an example or my module below.
When I add my customstyles.module to the document settings, two
entries appear in the Edit-Text Style menu for using them. And when I
use them, LyX correctly change the text style accordingly. Here it is
for reference:

Oh,
Maybe I do understand it. Is a layout module just a chunk of debugged
LyX/LaTeX code that would normally go in a layout file, and gets included in
the layout file by reference? So you could mix and match layout modules to
get a more granular modularization, similar to #include in C?
So is it a way to write once, use many times? Is it a way to use
known-debugged LyX/LaTeX code? And is it a way for all of us to trade
debugged and tested code without throwing in every silly little feature we
put in our book?

Mac prefers to store text files in UTF-8, while Windows tends to

Open the files with a text editor (such as TextWrangler) that can

commented out all the lines and retyped them fresh, but still get the

Re: Melissa Woolston/GB/INT/Kelly is out of the office.
This is not first time, when some unwanted people are subscribed to the list. Maybe word "unwanted" is inadequate here... let's say they generated unwanted garbage from time to time. Unanswered question is are they add themselves some time ago or someone add them mistakenly (evil or not - does not matter). I think someone should be moderator on this list able to manually disable or unsubscribe people, who asking about it. Automated "vacations" and responders do not recognize lists and replies to everyone who to the list.

I have not tried, but should there not be a %-sign at the end of each

So this is I believe not a cross-platform issue but wrong syntax (which
happens to be forgiven or not depending on the platform and Koma version).
Try putting everything on one line, i.e.
\KOMAoptions{fromalign=right, fromrule=aftername ,fromlogo=true,
backaddress=false} and I am almost sure everything works.

As the description says, this module simply defines several useful math

functions, the one with a capital letter must be followed by \{xxx}

I used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions as a

transform and its inverse are not functions, but I do not care ;-)
I hope this can be helpful to someone. I like this layout module feature
a lot, I created another one with custom char styles for filenames and

Small question: should I change the "Format 7" to "Format 8" ?

Re: example of layout module for LyX 1.6
I do not have 1.6 yet... but I do not understand how LyX understands how to
handle these new commands? From my understanding these go only to preamble
of document, but how to add these to some buttons on toolbar for example?

This layout module is simply adding the definitions to the preamble.
Then, when you type in a formula \erf for instance, it will not be
interpreted by LyX (unless you use preview-latex stuff). But when
generating the pdf, they will be correctly interpreted as functions
(i.e. not in italic, and with a small space afterwards).
The advantage of having them in a layout module is that you do not have
to add them in a preamble by hand. Just add the module to the document
settings, as described in http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16#toc4 .
Of course if someone has any ideas to provide more functionality, any
idea is welcome (that's the reason for posting the module).
You can also have layouts that will create text styles or environments,
and those will appear in some menus automatically. That's how I have
implemented my "filename" and "code" text styles. See the
"logicalmkup.module" file for an example or my module below.
When I add my "customstyles.module" to the document settings, two
entries appear in the "Edit->Text Style" menu for using them. And when I
use them, LyX correctly change the text style accordingly. Here it is
for reference:

Re: example of layout module for LyX 1.6
Thanks Oliver,
I still don't understand the underlying philosophy of layout modules:
0) What is a layout module?
1) Why are they better than just writing your own layout file?
2) How do you decide when to use them?
3) By what design methodology do you create them?
4) What are the attributes of a "good" layout module?
5) What are the attributes of a "bad" layout module?
Thanks

Oh,
Maybe I do understand it. Is a layout module just a chunk of debugged
LyX/LaTeX code that would normally go in a layout file, and gets included in
the layout file by reference? So you could mix and match layout modules to
get a more granular modularization, similar to #include in C?
So is it a way to write once, use many times? Is it a way to use
known-debugged LyX/LaTeX code? And is it a way for all of us to trade
debugged and tested code without throwing in every silly little feature we
put in our book?
Thanks

Hi Steve,
I personally have no idea, but I suspect the answer can be found by asking
on the developers' list :-)

PS. Once 1.6 is out, I think the layout module should be stored somewhere
in the wiki.
