erroneous line / unable to open file
Dear Sir or Madam, somehow I managed to include a nomenclature command into the environment of a Subsubsection. Now Lyx opens the file, but only till this erroneous line. From this line on the content of the file is not displayed and if I save the file, the text is gone. I tried to change the file externally, but if I do so, Lyx does no longer open it and tells me this is no lyx-file. What can I do? Regards, Ludwig.

Hello Günter,

OK, to a table-float triggers the error but does not produce it.
Might have to do with tablecaption settings...
I've realized now, that it must have s.th. to do with the declarations I
did in the preamble, because it works without it. I tried to take parts
out to recognize the guilty lines.
Yes, this is the recommended way.
With the first lines, the float is generated:
%Definition des Absatz-Abstandes
\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}
...[36 more lines]
... But when I insert these Lines, the error appears:
%Realisierung der Hyperref-Attribute unter verschiedenen Voraussetzungen
\usepackage{ifpdf} % part of the hyperref bundle

Does s.o. see the reason for my problem in these lines?
This are far too many line for me to spot an error in restricted time.
I'd recommend to try further by divide and conquer.
Keep an eye on settings that have to do with table floats.

Ok, here are the exact symptoms of the problem. If I have a few floats
inserted in a sequence in Lyx, as soon as Latex decides that one float

placed on a separate page, regardless of their size.
Are you saying that after the first float gets a separate page, each of
the subsequent floats sits alone on a page?
Yes. What I have in a few places in my document is something like: one
large float, 4 smaller floats, one other large float and then 3
smaller floats again.
Latex decides to put the one large float on a separate page and then
it puts all the rest of the floats on seperate pages
**also at the end of the Chapter.**
It looks to me as if your documentclass (or some loaded package or
preamble setting) creates a page of floats only **at the end of a
chapter**.
As the order of floats is never changed, subsequent floats in this
chapter are placed behind this page of floats. As a new chapter starts
on a new page, these floats will also be alone on a page.
Its probably deciding that there are too many floats that will break
the text. I get that behaviour even if I select 'top of page' for all
the floats.
What happens, if you activate the ignore LaTeX rules button?
I managed to get the floats pretty much where I want them with info
from this website: http://people.cs.uu.nl/piet/floats/node1.html
Particularly with the use of:
\afterpage{\clearpage}
and by moving some floats between paragraphs. I was just hoping that
Latex would figure all this out for me.
As good layout (and font-placing) is a matter of taste, LaTeX cannot
please all without some configuration efforts from the side of users
that have a different taste from the documentclass designers.
This is why typesetting with LaTeX/LyX is straightforward if you find a
documentstyle you happen to like (or which fullfills the requirements
of the institution you write for) but is a pain, if you do not like the
default output.

Hi all,
I need your help. It turns out to be a known problem that you can't use
hyperref with Memoir. However, there's supposedly a fix, known as
memhfixc.sty. Supposedly, if you \usepackage{memhfixc} AFTER you
\usepackage{hyperref}, they can coexist. See this:
http://209.85.215.104/search?q=cache:8kIeWO2Ho9oJ:www.tug.org/pracjourn/2006-3/wilson/wilson.pdf+memoir+hyperref+ifpdfhl=enct=clnkcd=3gl=us

However, when I make a trivial latex file based on the preceding document, it
fails. Here's the file:
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{memhfixc}
\usepackage{mempatch}

1. Copy TeX root\tex\latex\beamer\themes\theme\beamerthemeWarsaw.sty

3. Put the two logos (mylogo1.png, mylogo2.png, or whatever you call
them) in the same directory.
4. Run texhash so that LaTeX can find the new files. (There's no need
to reconfigure LyX, but you may need to restart LyX if it was running
when you made the change.)
5. Change \usetheme{Warsaw} to \usetheme{MyWarsaw} in the preamble
of your LyX doc.
I'm not sure if the \hfill's are warranted or not, and I'm not positive
this will work. You may also need to load the graphicx package in the
preamble if you don't have images in the slideshow. (If you insert
images in LyX, LyX will load graphicx automatically. I can't recall if
beamer loads it or not.)
Again, I haven't tried this myself, so I'm not sure it will work. Good
luck.

Hello, I would like to set up a directory with little snippets to insert in LyX documents. These snippets are small .lyx files located, let's say, in ~/LyXsnippets.

Unfortunately, it seems that the file-insert command does not expand ~, and it cannot use environment variables too. So, how can I do that? Any hint? Also, there is problem with the slash in the name of the toolbar button icon under Windows. I suppose I should use a .def file and the call command, but I cannot make it run. Any hint welcome too.

Re: Memoir/hyperref conflict is a known issue PARTIALLY SOLVED
First, thanks to all you LyX'ers -- the ones writing me both onlist and
offlist. There's no way I would have solved this without you.
Second, I'm really bent out of shape (American idiom for extremely angry)
because those fool packagers at Mandriva put in a 2004 Memoir package into
Mandriva 2008.1. I've got nine months to get over my anger, but right now I'm
inclined to switch to another distro next summer.
The big clue came when several of you said you couldn't reproduce my symptom
on my 5 line LaTeX program. That pointed a very accusing finger at *MY*
Memoir package installation. Looking at its files, I saw they were from 2004.
So I downloaded a 2008 Memoir. My 5 line LaTeX program compiled, so I knew I
was on the right track.
Unfortunately, my actual LyX book got approximately several hundred errors.
Google was my friend, and I found out that to complete the installation, I
had to do this:
latex memoir.ins
So I did that, but my LaTeX program still got a couple hundred errors. This
time, however, most of the errors seemed to be associated with Enumerate, so
I commented out my LaTeX code that compressed enumerate vertically. There
were still some errors, so I commented out similar compression code in
itemize and the table of contents. It compiled with hyperref included, and
gave me a clickable table of contents.
What remains now is to find a different way to code my list compressions, and
test everything else to make sure there are no other problems.
If anyone reading this list is using Mandriva 2008.x, be VERY careful, and
don't assume your tetex package is correct or up to date.
In hindsight, I made the classic troubleshooting mistake of proceeding on an
untested and invalid assumption -- in this case the assumption being that my
tetex installation was solid. The several of you who responded telling me my
program compiled correctly on your setups helped cast the light of day on
that invalid assumption, leading to at least a partial solution.
Thank you all very much!!!

Re: LyX for MAC: problems in handling file images
I have checked my installation of ImageMagick: 6.3.3. Most elements are in the .usr/local/lib Maybe I installed it when I installed the full MacTeX package containing the texlive2007 package. Now, since I am a totally beginner in the Lyx and Latex arena (I have been using, LyX for 3 weeks), I am not sure about what are the right ways for uninstalling/installing LaTeX packages and additional software. Perhaps I could do the two operations through the i-Installer? However I have just checked it for ImageMagick and it says that ImageMagick is being updated and then is not available.

Are you saying that after the first float gets a separate page, each of
the subsequent floats sits alone on a page?
Yes. What I have in a few places in my document is something like: one
large float, 4 smaller floats, one other large float and then 3
smaller floats again.
Latex decides to put the one large float on a separate page and then
it puts all the rest of the floats on seperate pages
**also at the end of the Chapter.**
It looks to me as if your documentclass (or some loaded package or
preamble setting) creates a page of floats only **at the end of a
chapter**.
As the order of floats is never changed, subsequent floats in this
chapter are placed behind this page of floats. As a new chapter starts
on a new page, these floats will also be alone on a page.
Its probably deciding that there are too many floats that will break
the text. I get that behaviour even if I select 'top of page' for all
the floats.
What happens, if you activate the ignore LaTeX rules button?
I managed to get the floats pretty much where I want them with info
from this website: http://people.cs.uu.nl/piet/floats/node1.html
Particularly with the use of:
\afterpage{\clearpage}
and by moving some floats between paragraphs. I was just hoping that
Latex would figure all this out for me.
As good layout (and font-placing) is a matter of taste, LaTeX cannot
please all without some configuration efforts from the side of users
that have a different taste from the documentclass designers.
This is why typesetting with LaTeX/LyX is straightforward if you find a
documentstyle you happen to like (or which fullfills the requirements
of the institution you write for) but is a pain, if you do not like the
default output.

5. Change \usetheme{Warsaw} to \usetheme{MyWarsaw} in the preamble

I'm not sure if the \hfill's are warranted or not, and I'm not positive
this will work. You may also need to load the graphicx package in the

Re: Memoir/hyperref conflict is a known issue PARTIALLY SOLVED
First, thanks to all you LyX'ers -- the ones writing me both onlist and
offlist. There's no way I would have solved this without you.
Second, I'm really bent out of shape (American idiom for extremely angry)
because those fool packagers at Mandriva put in a 2004 Memoir package into
Mandriva 2008.1. I've got nine months to get over my anger, but right now I'm
inclined to switch to another distro next summer.
The big clue came when several of you said you couldn't reproduce my symptom
on my 5 line LaTeX program. That pointed a very accusing finger at *MY*
Memoir package installation. Looking at its files, I saw they were from 2004.
So I downloaded a 2008 Memoir. My 5 line LaTeX program compiled, so I knew I
was on the right track.
Unfortunately, my actual LyX book got approximately several hundred errors.
Google was my friend, and I found out that to complete the installation, I
had to do this:
latex memoir.ins
So I did that, but my LaTeX program still got a couple hundred errors. This
time, however, most of the errors seemed to be associated with Enumerate, so
I commented out my LaTeX code that compressed enumerate vertically. There
were still some errors, so I commented out similar compression code in
itemize and the table of contents. It compiled with hyperref included, and
gave me a clickable table of contents.
What remains now is to find a different way to code my list compressions, and
test everything else to make sure there are no other problems.
If anyone reading this list is using Mandriva 2008.x, be VERY careful, and
don't assume your tetex package is correct or up to date.
In hindsight, I made the classic troubleshooting mistake of proceeding on an
untested and invalid assumption -- in this case the assumption being that my
tetex installation was solid. The several of you who responded telling me my
program compiled correctly on your setups helped cast the light of day on
that invalid assumption, leading to at least a partial solution.
Thank you all very much!!!

OK, to a table-float triggers the error but does not produce it.

This are far too many line for me to spot an error in restricted time.
I'd recommend to try further by "divide and conquer.

It looks to me as if your documentclass (or some loaded package or
preamble setting) creates a "page of floats" only **at the end of a
chapter**.
As the order of floats is never changed, subsequent floats in this
chapter are placed behind this "page of floats". As a new chapter starts
on a new page, these floats will also be alone on a page.

As "good layout" (and font-placing) is a matter of taste, LaTeX cannot
please all without some configuration efforts from the side of users
that have a different taste from the documentclass designers.
This is why typesetting with LaTeX/LyX is straightforward if you find a
documentstyle you happen to like (or which fullfills the requirements
of the institution you write for) but is a pain, if you do not like the
default output.

There is no font "provided by LaTeX". There is one font that "comes with TeX" -- Computer Modern. There are many fonts that are "made accessible for LaTeX", e.g. the standard Postscript fonts. The free versions of these standard font families are mostly "scaled down" (missing expert cuts like real small caps as well as not-so-common glyphs and symbols).

But the wiki page is not completely same as latex. There are many many Wiki dialects, so there is no definitive answer. Two cases that come to my mind: The Wikipedia, e.g. uses LaTeX markup for math, so it should be easy to import from the text source (open as "edit" and drag-and-drop from the text widget, then in LyX mark the math and press Ctrl-m). Some Wikis use reStructuredText as markup language. This can be converted to LaTeX with rst2latex.py from http://docutils.sf.net. Günter

Well, "elegant" is in the eye of the beholder. You can try to put
something like
\let\hreforig\href
\def\foo#1://#2=={#1:/\hspace{-0.8ex}/#2}
\def\href#1#2{\hreforig{#1}{\foo#2==}}
in to the preamble and use the hyperref insets as usual.

And, since the preamble is inserted before \usepackage{hyperref},
this needs to be wrapped in \AtBeginDocument
\AtBeginDocument{\let\hreforig\href
\def\foo#1://#2=={#1:/\hspace{-0.8ex}/#2}
\def\href#1#2{\hreforig{#1}{\foo#2==}}}

Hi all,
I need your help. It turns out to be a known problem that you can't use
hyperref with Memoir. However, there's supposedly a fix, known as
memhfixc.sty. Supposedly, if you \usepackage{memhfixc} AFTER you
\usepackage{hyperref}, they can coexist. See this:

4. Run texhash so that LaTeX can find the new files. (There's no need
to reconfigure LyX, but you may need to restart LyX if it was running
when you made the change.)
5. Change "\usetheme{Warsaw}" to "\usetheme{MyWarsaw}" in the preamble
of your LyX doc.
I'm not sure if the \hfill's are warranted or not, and I'm not positive
this will work. You may also need to load the graphicx package in the
preamble if you don't have images in the slideshow. (If you insert
images in LyX, LyX will load graphicx automatically. I can't recall if
beamer loads it or not.)

I would like my menu and toolbar entries to be portable (different users, different OSes). That's why I don't use /Users/phgrosjean/LyXsnippets (on my Mac) for instance. Unfortunately, it seems that the "file-insert" command does not expand ~, and it cannot use environment variables too. So, how can I do that? Any hint? Also, there is problem with the slash in the name of the toolbar button icon under Windows. I suppose I should use a .def file and the "call" command, but I cannot make it run. Any hint welcome too. I use LyX 1.5.6 under Mac OS X 10.4 / Windows XP sp2 / Ubuntu Hardy Heron.

I use fancy headers and I have:
% I want chapter on right odd pages to right side
% and book title on left even pages to left side
\fancyhead{}% delete the default header
\fancyhead[LE]{I put title here}
\fancyhead[RO]{\leftmark}

This doesn't seem to work for me - perhaps I'm misssing something. Do
you put it at the beginning of Chapter 1?
This does work:
\pagestyle{myheadings}
\markboth{Book title}{chapter title}
But the code has to be inserted for each chapter and and the correct
chapter title inserted, so it's only semi-automated.

Re: Memoir/hyperref conflict is a known issue
First, thanks to all you LyX'ers -- the ones writing me both onlist and
offlist. There's no way I would have solved this without you.
Second, I'm really bent out of shape (American idiom for extremely angry)
because those fool packagers at Mandriva put in a 2004 Memoir package into
Mandriva 2008.1. I've got nine months to get over my anger, but right now I'm
inclined to switch to another distro next summer.
The big clue came when several of you said you couldn't reproduce my symptom
on my 5 line LaTeX program. That pointed a very accusing finger at *MY*
Memoir package installation. Looking at its files, I saw they were from 2004.
So I downloaded a 2008 Memoir. My 5 line LaTeX program compiled, so I knew I
was on the right track.
Unfortunately, my actual LyX book got approximately several hundred errors.
Google was my friend, and I found out that to complete the installation, I
had to do this:
latex memoir.ins
So I did that, but my LaTeX program still got a couple hundred errors. This
time, however, most of the errors seemed to be associated with Enumerate, so
I commented out my LaTeX code that compressed enumerate vertically. There
were still some errors, so I commented out similar compression code in
itemize and the table of contents. It compiled with hyperref included, and
gave me a clickable table of contents.
What remains now is to find a different way to code my list compressions, and
test everything else to make sure there are no other problems.
If anyone reading this list is using Mandriva 2008.x, be VERY careful, and
don't assume your tetex package is correct or up to date.
In hindsight, I made the classic troubleshooting mistake of proceeding on an
untested and invalid assumption -- in this case the assumption being that my
tetex installation was solid. The several of you who responded telling me my
program compiled correctly on your setups helped cast the light of day on
that invalid assumption, leading to at least a partial solution.
Thank you all very much!!!

Have you looked in Memoir's manual, searching for \tightlists, \tightlist and \firmlist? Bennett
Re: LyX for MAC: problems in handling file images
This is the message I get in Terminal after launching the command you suggested: $ convert -version dyld: convert can't open library: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.6.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) Trace/BPT trap Computer-di-Pierfranco-Minsenti:~ pierfranco$ I have checked my disk and found that I have this directory: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.4.11.dylib so I see there is a difference between the file which is looked for in Terminal, which is libXext.6.dylib and the file I actually have which is libXpm.4.11.dylib But this is all I can say at the moment. Thank you in advance for the suggestions you will be able to give me.

Perhaps you should try reinstalling imagemagick and see if that works. (How did you install it in the first place?) Bennett
Re: LyX for MAC: problems in handling file images
I have checked my installation of ImageMagick: 6.3.3. Most elements are in the .usr/local/lib Maybe I installed it when I installed the full MacTeX package containing the texlive2007 package. Now, since I am a totally beginner in the Lyx and Latex arena (I have been using, LyX for 3 weeks), I am not sure about what are the right ways for uninstalling/installing LaTeX packages and additional software. Perhaps I could do the two operations through the i-Installer? However I have just checked it for ImageMagick and it says that ImageMagick is being updated and then is not available. Maybe I could download it from http://www.imagemagick.org/? But then how could I uninstall the present version and install the new one? Sorry, but since I am used only to uninstall ordinary applications by moving them from the Application folder to the Trash, which is not the case with ImageMagick, I am unsure about how to uninstall ImageMagick and then reinstall it.

If you can, you might want to wait a week or so (it should be out "real soon now") to download MacTeX based on texlive 2008; installing that will give you a new installation of ImageMagick. Alternatively, you could use MacTeX 2007 to do it again. But these are big downloads, and I'm not even sure if this will solve the problem. > Now, since I am a totally beginner in the Lyx and Latex arena (I have been > using, LyX for 3 weeks), I am not sure about what are the right ways for > uninstalling/installing LaTeX packages and additional software. > Perhaps I could do the two operations through the i-Installer?

Another option would be to use macports or fink to install it for you. Bennett

That worked a little better, though not as tight as the original or as I'd like it, but good enough. It's now not perfect, but it's good enough to offer customers, so thank you very much!

Re: Float placement
Hi, I would like to use the natbib package for my citations in Lyx
with the [sort] option so that multiple citations are ordered into the
sequence in which they appear in the list of references. However,
specifying
\usepackage[numbers,sort]{natbib}
in the preamble of my document produces an error when compiling to
pdf. It says the package has already been called. Is there any other
way of doing this in Lyx?
Thanks,
