Boxed equations in Lyx
Hi everyone, I am a new user of Lyx, and am trying to put some equations into a box. I have already written the equations, so I was trying to insert some LateX instructions to add the box to each equation separately. But so far I didn't manage to get it to work. Any suggestion?

Re: Boxed equations in Lyx
Hi,
After inserting math with cnrl-m
Use \boxed for a math formula
for example: \boxed{A\alpha+B}
or \fbox
\fbox{regular text}
for a math box with regular text
This is found in the help files.
Can't remember exactly where, but easy to find.

When LyX is installed, its configure script checks the existing LaTeX system. So it asks latex.exe if several LaTeX-packages are available. latex.exe then automatically downloads the missing packages asked by LyX. Depending on your Internet connection, this can indeed take hours (usually it takes 10 minutes with a DSL connection). When you abort this process, you kill the configuration script of LyX and still have an incomplete LaTeX installation and therefore get problems. So you have to with the time until the downloading and installation is done. The Alternative installer therefore displays the current download and installation state in a console Window. To speed up the installation a bit I suggest to uninstall MiKTeX _completely_ and reinstall it using the basic MiKTeX installation you can download from here: http://miktex.org/2.7/setup (Then you have the latest version that fixed some nasty bugs. Otherwise the lyX installer would do the update for you, but this takes longer than reinstalling MiKTeX.) Then reinstall LyX and wait the needed time. This is all you can do. regards Uwe
Again on interrupted lists
I am trying really hard to understand how to produce interrupted multi-level lists in LyX/LaTeX, but I can't seem to find a way to make the wiki suggestions work. I am preparing lecture notes for a philosophy class and I need to write down the various steps of various arguments, with main premises, sub-premises, provisional conclusions, etc. Every once in a while I need to insert text between the steps to make a more general point before resuming the argument. For clarity, I need to have the steps labeled with decimal numbering (i.e.. 1. 1.1, 1.2, etc.) Here is what I tried: 1. using the paralist package a. decimal numbering is offered as one of the package options, so no problems there b. Could not find a way to interrupt/resume a list. I studied the package documentation, but could not find a way. That does not necessarily mean it's impossible, of course... 2. Using the mdwlist package a. I redefine the enumerate counters and labels to produce decimal numbering---no problems there b. Although the \interrupt \resume commands work from a level 1 item to standard text, I could not find a way to make it work from a deeper level item. That is, I can replicate the example on the wiki:: 1. First first level item 2. second first level item Standard text 3. third first level item But I *cannot* extend it to do this: 1. First first level item 1.1. First second level item Standard text 1.2 Second second level item When I try to adapt the wiki example strategy to my needs I get LaTex errors.

Stefano,
Does the attached file do the job? If so, the use of mdwlist is
overkill (I took it out); just nesting the extra text under the
appropriate list level, and making it standard environments (or whatever
environment you need) should work.
Incidentally, the LaTeX errors were the result of using
\resume{enumerate} right before \end{enumerate} (i.e., resuming the list
but then not adding any further items).

Here is what I did: 1. removed the lyx ubuntu package 1.5.6 from my system (wajig remove lyx) 2. installed the same package again (wajig install lyx) - I did want to test with the old version to see if the slowness also occurs there. 3. I started lyx 1.5.6 everything worked fine the positive suprise was, when I started lyx 1.6.0 the so much appreciated responsiveness of lyx is back.

I have found another behaviour that might be relevant for experts to solve this: * Large window size of lyx (e.g., full screen or maximized) - LyX is slow * Make the window minimal (only show a few lines and columns) - LyX is fast Thus, could it be that the library is overpowering my computer (Intel 2.80 GHZ / 1024 RAM)?

These are packages only available at special inter pages, mostly class and style files for scientific journals. I'm struggling with this installation problem for about 24 Hours, All what I can do is install and reinstall of different packages again and again :-( So, you can think how depressed I feel. Anyway, I surely solved this problem at last. I don't understand why you cannot just wait untill all missing LaTeX-packages are installed. I mean you don't need to sit in front of your computer while this is done, you can also do other things in the meantime. regards Uwe Thanks, follow your advice, I completely updated the whole missing packages of Lyx, it takes *One hour*.( a lot of patience need..) But still I can't compile the tutorial.lyx. A MessageBox reported that File does not exist..pdf, so, What's wrong with this problem? Thanks.

Moin Lyxers,
not for the first time I got today an LyX when clicking show pdf an

(I suppose in english: The file doesn't exist:)
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.L12205/lyx_tmpbuf1/Lyra-Pracher-odt-teil.pdf
That was after adding an TeX code for another footnoteB (from the -
loaded - manyfoot package), because I'm using for that the handout
(tufte) layout because of the many sidenotes I need.
But because - at a certain point, when LaTeX (via LyX) said too many
floats - I changed to the TeX-box \footnoteB command to get a real
footnote. Which normally gives the planned result.
If the error message The file doesn't exist ... .pdf is a known
problem, I ask:
== how to come out of this situation best?
I found out by trial and error, that I deleted the last TeX inset
\footnoteB{...}, (but after many other trials, even after clothing and
reopening LyX, after deleting the LyX - /tmp ... xyz-files and so on).
Regained functionality of LyX in making and showing a pdf result, I
reintroduced the TeX-inset \footnoteB and it worked.
Fine for the project. But Question:
= are there reasons for that behaviour of LyX and/or other ways than
just trying out, deleting the last inset(s) and remaking them?
== What might be the reason of the LaTeX-error about too many flouts
when inserting footnotes = sidenotes in the handout (tufte) class,
even if on the page where I am working and on the horizontal space on
the margin there is place enough for another footnote=sidenote?

Boxed equations in Lyx
Hi everyone, I am a new user of Lyx, and am trying to put some equations into a box. I have already written the equations, so I was trying to insert some LateX instructions to add the box to each equation separately. But so far I didn't manage to get it to work. Any suggestion?

Re: Boxed equations in Lyx
Hi,
After inserting math with cnrl-m
Use \boxed for a math formula
for example: \boxed{A\alpha+B}
or \fbox
\fbox{regular text}
for a math box with regular text
This is found in the help files.
Can't remember exactly where, but easy to find.

When LyX is installed, its configure script checks the existing LaTeX system. So it asks latex.exe if several LaTeX-packages are available. latex.exe then automatically downloads the missing packages asked by LyX. Depending on your Internet connection, this can indeed take hours (usually it takes 10 minutes with a DSL connection). When you abort this process, you kill the configuration script of LyX and still have an incomplete LaTeX installation and therefore get problems. So you have to with the time until the downloading and installation is done. The Alternative installer therefore displays the current download and installation state in a console Window. To speed up the installation a bit I suggest to uninstall MiKTeX _completely_ and reinstall it using the basic MiKTeX installation you can download from here: http://miktex.org/2.7/setup (Then you have the latest version that fixed some nasty bugs. Otherwise the lyX installer would do the update for you, but this takes longer than reinstalling MiKTeX.) Then reinstall LyX and wait the needed time. This is all you can do. regards Uwe
Again on interrupted lists
I am trying really hard to understand how to produce interrupted multi-level lists in LyX/LaTeX, but I can't seem to find a way to make the wiki suggestions work. I am preparing lecture notes for a philosophy class and I need to write down the various steps of various arguments, with main premises, sub-premises, provisional conclusions, etc. Every once in a while I need to insert text between the steps to make a more general point before resuming the argument. For clarity, I need to have the steps labeled with decimal numbering (i.e.. 1. 1.1, 1.2, etc.) Here is what I tried: 1. using the paralist package a. decimal numbering is offered as one of the package options, so no problems there b. Could not find a way to interrupt/resume a list. I studied the package documentation, but could not find a way. That does not necessarily mean it's impossible, of course... 2. Using the mdwlist package a. I redefine the enumerate counters and labels to produce decimal numbering---no problems there b. Although the \interrupt \resume commands work from a level 1 item to standard text, I could not find a way to make it work from a deeper level item. That is, I can replicate the example on the wiki:: 1. First first level item 2. second first level item Standard text 3. third first level item But I *cannot* extend it to do this: 1. First first level item 1.1. First second level item Standard text 1.2 Second second level item When I try to adapt the wiki example strategy to my needs I get LaTex errors.

Stefano,
Does the attached file do the job? If so, the use of mdwlist is
overkill (I took it out); just nesting the extra text under the
appropriate list level, and making it standard environments (or whatever
environment you need) should work.
Incidentally, the LaTeX errors were the result of using
\resume{enumerate} right before \end{enumerate} (i.e., resuming the list
but then not adding any further items).

Boxed equations in Lyx
Hi everyone, I am a new user of Lyx, and am trying to put some equations into a box.

Hi,
After inserting math with cnrl-m
Use \boxed for a math formula
for example: \boxed{A\alpha+B}
or \fbox
\fbox{regular text}
for a math box with regular text
This is found in the help files.

When LyX is installed, its configure script checks the existing LaTeX system. So it asks latex.exe if several LaTeX-packages are available. latex.exe then automatically downloads the missing packages asked by LyX. Depending on your Internet connection, this can indeed take hours (usually it takes 10 minutes with a DSL connection). When you abort this process, you kill the configuration script of LyX and still have an incomplete LaTeX installation and therefore get problems. So you have to with the time until the downloading and installation is done. The Alternative installer therefore displays the current download and installation state in a console Window. To speed up the installation a bit I suggest to uninstall MiKTeX _completely_ and reinstall it using the basic MiKTeX installation you can download from here: http://miktex.org/2.7/setup (Then you have the latest version that fixed some nasty bugs. Otherwise the lyX installer would do the update for you, but this takes longer than reinstalling MiKTeX.) Then reinstall LyX and wait the needed time. This is all you can do. regards Uwe
Again on interrupted lists
I am trying really hard to understand how to produce interrupted multi-level lists in LyX/LaTeX, but I can't seem to find a way to make the wiki suggestions work. I am preparing lecture notes for a philosophy class and I need to write down the various steps of various arguments, with main premises, sub-premises, provisional conclusions, etc. Every once in a while I need to insert text between the steps to make a more general point before resuming the argument. For clarity, I need to have the steps labeled with decimal numbering (i.e.. 1. 1.1, 1.2, etc.) Here is what I tried: 1. using the paralist package a. decimal numbering is offered as one of the package options, so no problems there b. Could not find a way to interrupt/resume a list. I studied the package documentation, but could not find a way. That does not necessarily mean it's impossible, of course... 2. Using the mdwlist package a. I redefine the enumerate counters and labels to produce decimal numbering---no problems there b. Although the \interrupt \resume commands work from a level 1 item to standard text, I could not find a way to make it work from a deeper level item. That is, I can replicate the example on the wiki:: 1. First first level item 2. second first level item Standard text 3. third first level item But I *cannot* extend it to do this: 1.

Does the attached file do the job? If so, the use of mdwlist is

environment you need) should work.
Incidentally, the LaTeX errors were the result of using
\resume{enumerate} right before \end{enumerate} (i.e., resuming the list

I recommend the enumitem package (if you are using LyX 1.6, you can use

No need to explicitely \interrupt an enumeration. It just takes of the
last one *of the corresponding level* with the [resume] optional argument

Re: Again on interrupted lists
Maybe you will also find the following link helpful:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=interruptlist
As Günter said, enumlist is clearly to be recommended for interrupted
list.

Every once in a while I need to insert text between the steps to

need to
have the steps labeled with decimal numbering (i.e.. 1. 1.1, 1.2,
etc.)
Here is what I tried:
1. using the paralist package
2. Using the mdwlist package
I recommend the enumitem package (if you are using LyX 1.6, you can
use
the attached enumitem module.
No need to explicitely \interrupt an enumeration. It just takes of the
last one *of the corresponding level* with the [resume] optional
argument
(or with the Enumerate-Resume Style provided by the module).

Format 11
# The package enumitem provides user control over the layout of the
three
# basic list environments: enumerate, itemize and description. It
supersedes
# both enumerate and mdwlist (providing well-structured replacements
for all
# their funtionality), and in addition provides functions to compute
the
# layout of labels, and to ‘clone’ the standard environments, to
create new
# environments with counters of their own.
#
# - fancy labels and fancy refs,
# - leftmargin, labelsep and labelwidth automatically set,
# - changes applied globally or only in one of the three
# types or even in a single list (including topsep) by
# means of a sort of "inheritance",
# - several description styles (which fix some bad
# spacing, too),
# - starting value and counter resuming,
# - trivlists properly formatted,
# - control on page breaking
#

Re: Building LyX layout for Copernicus Journals, class definition and estimate of time span?
Maarten Smoorenburg schrieb: I am trying to submit an article for publication by using the copernicus.cls class. This class is used by many journals that are published by the European Geophysical Union (EGU) and I would like to publish in HESS. I jsut wrote the article in a simple article layout and now want to use the copernicus.cls class for publishing Currently, there is no layout file available for the copernicus.cls I have now built a layout file for copernicus: Please test it out and report back. If it works, I'll include it to the next LyX release. The latest version of the copernicus.cls file contains a bug regarding BibTeX. When a document uses one of the LaTeX commands \cite, \citep, or \citet to reference an entry of a BibTeX file, latex.exe is send to an infinite loop. regards Uwe
Re: [correction] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.6.0
Uwe Stöhr wrote: Asm_gmail schrieb: I have found the problem, and find a way to work around it. Actually, I first installed the latest version of basic MikTex 2.7 . During setup, I choose the update option in MikTex's Setting dialog "Install missing pages", of ---> "Ask me first". But when I install the Lyx (both the standard version or the alternative installer), the installer will *automatically* change this option to "Yes". (it seems very strange) This is done purposely Otherwise you will be prompted about 40 times to agree to the package installation. By omitting the prompt, you can go drinking a coffee while the packages are installed consecutively. So, the trick is : (If you have no network or low speed of networks) 1,kill the last step configuration of installation of Lyx. 2,Setting the MikTex update option *back* to "Ask me first". 3,start Lyx to let it initialize configuration , and When some message box prompt to ask whether downloading missing packages. I always choose "cancel". 4,After step 3, the Lyx can work now. This is not working. Because then you don't have a fully working LyX installation. You are then for example not able to compile the documentation files like LyX's User's Guide and you cannot use all LyX features, for example subfloats and other key features. By the way, Even I make a full installation of "basic MikTex 2.7", there are still several missing packages required by Lyx. These are packages only available at special inter pages, mostly class and style files for scientific journals. I'm struggling with this installation problem for about 24 Hours, All what I can do is "install" and "reinstall" of different packages again and again :-( So, you can think how depressed I feel. Anyway, I surely solved this problem at last. I don't understand why you cannot just wait untill all missing LaTeX-packages are installed. I mean you don't need to sit in front of your computer while this is done, you can also do other things in the meantime. regards Uwe Thanks, follow your advice, I completely updated the whole missing packages of Lyx, it takes *One hour*.( a lot of patience need..) But still I can't compile the "tutorial.lyx". A MessageBox reported that" File does not exist..pdf", so, What's wrong with this problem? Thanks.
Re: "view pdf" error: "the file doesn't exist" - what to do?

Moin Lyxers,
not for the first time I got today an LyX when clicking "show pdf" an
error message:
Die Datei existiert nicht:
(I suppose in english: The file doesn't exist:)
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.L12205/lyx_tmpbuf1/Lyra-Pracher-odt-teil.pdf
That was after adding an TeX code for another "footnoteB" (from the -
loaded - manyfoot package), because I'm using for that the "handout
(tufte)" layout because of the many sidenotes I need.
But because - at a certain point, when LaTeX (via LyX) said "too many
floats" - I changed to the TeX-box \footnoteB command to get a real
footnote. Which normally gives the planned result.
If the error message "The file doesn't exist ... .pdf" is a known
problem, I ask:
==> how to come out of this situation best?
I found out by trial and error, that I deleted the last TeX inset
\footnoteB{...}, (but after many other trials, even after clothing and
reopening LyX, after deleting the LyX - /tmp ... xyz-files and so on).
Regained functionality of LyX in making and showing a pdf result, I
reintroduced the TeX-inset \footnoteB and it worked.
Fine for the project. But Question:
=> are there reasons for that behaviour of LyX and/or other ways than
just trying out, deleting the last inset(s) and remaking them?
==> What might be the reason of the LaTeX-error about "too many flouts"
when inserting "footnotes" = sidenotes in the "handout (tufte)" class,
even if on the page where I am working and on the horizontal space on
the margin there is place enough for another "footnote"=sidenote?

I also meet this problem when I'm compiling the Tutorial.lyx.
It reported that the it can't find the pdf file to open.
I added the screen shot of this dialog.

Re: [correction] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.6.0
Another bug is that after reconfigure of Lyx. The MiKTex server will always be *modified* to "ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/..; So, I need to manually choose another faster one.
