 as suggested by Ignacio G., I would like to use also:

 \usepackage{color}

 But it fails. I get for example

 This is a long-standing desire, for round trip LaTeX editing, or the
 ability to edit directly in the ViewSource pane. Unfortunately, LyX's own
 internal format isn't LaTeX, and the tex2lyx importer isn't ready for this
 kind of thing. But rest assured people keep thinking about it, and JMarc's
 recent work updating tex2lyx, so that it will at least produce the 1.6
 format---I can't remember if this has actually been completely done yet---is
 at least a step in the right direction.

I think many people want to see LyX as tool similar to Kompozer (HTML
editor). The problem with LaTeX language is that it is not
hierarchical as HTML (subset of XML). LyX itself tries to hold
document structure as hierarchical, what is much clearer. LaTeX is
used to format text according to some definitions from document
classes. But it large number of places it allows users doing things
not exchangeable in both directions, if structure has to be kept.

Personally I see this as large disadvantage of LaTeX, but there is
nothing better that to flowing text automatically. LyX is good balance
between structured documents and LaTeX strengths.

 Hello,
 
 For a long time I valued LyX for its swiftness when typing. 
 Something changed recently, however and I do not
 have an idea what is causing this.
 
 When I type the letters only show up slowly on the screen. This makes
 working with LyX really cumbersome.
 
 I assumed this could have something to do with Auto Completion. But
 nothing changed when I switched this feature of.
 
 Version: LyX 1.6.0 (7 November 2008) - compiled binary on Ubuntu 8.10
 
 Any ideas?

I now tried to use it with the 1.6.0 package provided at:
http://www.getdeb.net/app/LyX


Still no change. So do I have to face the fact that my computer system
is 4 years old and never was speedy graphic-wise?

Thus, there might be only 2 options:

1. Go back to 1.5.6 (How to convert files from 1.6?) or try out 1.5.7
(No deb package available yet, have to check if the speed is ok there).

2. Upgrade my system: Maybe an AGP card such as Geoforce 6200 would
work in my system.


The question remains, what changed in 1.6 in terms
of new library usage that might have caused this increase in resource
requirement?

Migration assistant only moves files that are visible in the Finder.
The TeX backend gets installed in invisible locations and so does not

How to enter text in math mode?

[Tobias Hilbricht]

Dear readers of this list,

I am using LyX 1.5.5 on Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Hardy) to write down some
chemistry. I found the following hint in the LyX Wiki on using the LaTeX
package mhchem in LyX math mode in order to preview the formulas on
screen: 
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXForX (see the point Chemistry - Typesetting
formulae)
However, I am unable to reproduce the example mhchem.lyx given on that
internet site: When I type Ctrl-m Ctrl-m in order to get into text in
math mode, I end up in an mbox, and as soon as I enter a space after H+
to write something like this into that mbox: \ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}, the
cursor jumps out of the box. So I can only type single compounds, but no
reactions.
If I type Ctrl-m to enter math mode and then press Ctrl-l to enter ERT
\text{\ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}} the cursor also jumps out of the text-box
as soon as I enter a space after H+. Again, as a result, only single
compounds are possible with preview. 
The LaTeX amsmath-package is available and checked in LyX document
settings. It is possible to enter pure ERT like $\text{\ce{H+ + OH- =
H2O}}$ and get it typeset by LyX/LaTeX, but then I have no preview.

So my question: How do I enter something like \text{\ce{H+ + OH- =
H2O}} in math mode?

Thanks for helpful hints

Yours sincerely

If I understood you correctly, this is very easy.

Dear Erez,

thank you for your quick reply. I am afraid it is not that simple,
because what you suggested is just what I try to do with the following:

\ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}

\ce{...} is a macro of the mhchem package.

So be so kind and tell me if you can do Ctrl-m Ctrl-m and type in the
macro mentioned above without the cursor jumping out of the mbox when
entering a space.

I can do what you said with simple text, but not with the macro above. I

Dear Erez,

I probably was not clear enough.

mhchem is a LaTeX package to write chemical compounds and reactions. \ce
is a macro of mhchem, so you have call for mhchem in LyX under Document

I would like to enter mhchem macros in math mode rather than in plain
ERT, because then I have a preview. Somebody published in the LyX wiki a
little HowTo and an example file mhchem.lyx:

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXForX (see the point Chemistry - Typesetting

If you open mhchem.lyx with a plain text editor then that somebody
managed to get this line into *mhchem.lyx*:

\begin_inset Formula $\text{\ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}}$

I can open mhchem.lyx with LyX and see a preview of the reaction. I can
copy and paste it in LyX and see a preview. But I cannot reproduce
typing this in with LyX 1.5.5 on Ubuntu 8.04 and I want to know if I
miss something, if it is a bug or a regression (perhaps it did work only
with older versions?).

I hope I could point out my problem?!

1. Type it as normal text in your paragraph.

3. Repeat (mark and Ctrl-M) to convert to Text-in-Math.

(Tested with LyX 1.6.0 on Debian. AFAIK, this worked also in 1.5.
 In earlier Versions, the trick is to drag and drop the LaTeX-math expression
 with the mouse in a math box.)
 
BTW: 1.6.0 on Debian also allows entering spaces in Text-in-Math and
you leaves this mode with right arrow. Maybe upgrading to 1.5.7 helps

Tell that to the hundreds of customers we sold development tools for
Windows 2.0.

 follows the protocol spec, it doesn't matter what it does under the
 covers. I added support for new hardware to the ddx layer; wrote new
 window managers with completely different look-and-feel from the
 standard ones; added extensions to X11 itself. None of that interfered
 with existing clients one bit.
 
 X11R3: End of 88, X11R4: End of 89.

And clients continued to work. And they still work, under X11R5. New
releases came out and API compatibility was maintained. Which was my
point.

 Pretty much around 1990 supposedly the last person died that used plain X.

What's plain X? Everyone always ran windows managers on top of X11.
That's part of the architecture.

 - The 4.3 BSD kernel. Extended multihead support in the console driver
 and wrote some drivers for new hardware. Enhanced the shared memory
 kernel option. Nothing that didn't want to use the new features needed
 to be recompiled.
 
 Spring (?) 2001 - January 2002.

I don't know what those dates are supposed to refer to. BSD 4.3 was

Thanks for your reply Andre.

Jabref's push button not only support Lyx, it also support WinEdt and 
many other applications. I don't think these communications were all 
through the sockets.


And I hope someone will be programming this functionality in windows.

I found in the mail list achieve that someone suggest using a smart paste.

Which means, When I copy a citation from Jabref using ctrl + k, next, 
I can directly paste the string to Lyx. Then Lyx should recognize this 
insert as a citation and do the same things like insert-citation.


But I haven't get the method, and don't know how to enable this smart 
paste in Lyx 1.6.


Thanks.

Re: Find and Replace math

[Manveru]

2008/12/3 Richard Heck [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
[...]

 This is a long-standing desire, for round trip LaTeX editing, or the
 ability to edit directly in the ViewSource pane. Unfortunately, LyX's own
 internal format isn't LaTeX, and the tex2lyx importer isn't ready for this
 kind of thing. But rest assured people keep thinking about it, and JMarc's
 recent work updating tex2lyx, so that it will at least produce the 1.6
 format---I can't remember if this has actually been completely done yet---is
 at least a step in the right direction.

I think many people want to see LyX as tool similar to Kompozer (HTML
editor). The problem with LaTeX language is that it is not
hierarchical as HTML (subset of XML). LyX itself tries to hold
document structure as hierarchical, what is much clearer. LaTeX is
used to format text according to some definitions from document
classes. But it large number of places it allows users doing things
not exchangeable in both directions, if structure has to be kept.

Personally I see this as large disadvantage of LaTeX, but there is
nothing better that to flowing text automatically. LyX is good balance
between structured documents and LaTeX strengths.

This is indeed the right question. Do you use the same qt version for

If you have some time to spend on this, the tool that might help you to

It takes some time to get used to, but it gives information on the whole

If you feel lazy, there is also sysprof

proposing that, especially since I am not really used to thoses two

Migration assistant only moves files that are visible in the Finder.
The TeX backend gets installed in invisible locations and so does not

How to enter text in math mode?

[Tobias Hilbricht]

Dear readers of this list,

I am using LyX 1.5.5 on Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Hardy) to write down some
chemistry. I found the following hint in the LyX Wiki on using the LaTeX
package mhchem in LyX math mode in order to preview the formulas on
screen: 
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXForX (see the point Chemistry - Typesetting
formulae)
However, I am unable to reproduce the example mhchem.lyx given on that
internet site: When I type Ctrl-m Ctrl-m in order to get into text in
math mode, I end up in an mbox, and as soon as I enter a space after H+
to write something like this into that mbox: \ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}, the
cursor jumps out of the box. So I can only type single compounds, but no
reactions.
If I type Ctrl-m to enter math mode and then press Ctrl-l to enter ERT
\text{\ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}} the cursor also jumps out of the text-box
as soon as I enter a space after H+. Again, as a result, only single
compounds are possible with preview. 
The LaTeX amsmath-package is available and checked in LyX document
settings. It is possible to enter pure ERT like $\text{\ce{H+ + OH- =
H2O}}$ and get it typeset by LyX/LaTeX, but then I have no preview.

So my question: How do I enter something like \text{\ce{H+ + OH- =

Dear Erez,

thank you for your quick reply. I am afraid it is not that simple,

\ce{...} is a macro of the mhchem package.

So be so kind and tell me if you can do Ctrl-m Ctrl-m and type in the

Dear Erez,

I probably was not clear enough.

mhchem is a LaTeX package to write chemical compounds and reactions. \ce
is a macro of mhchem, so you have call for mhchem in LyX under Document

I would like to enter mhchem macros in math mode rather than in plain
ERT, because then I have a preview. Somebody published in the LyX wiki a

If you open mhchem.lyx with a plain text editor then that somebody
managed to get this line into *mhchem.lyx*:

\begin_inset Formula $\text{\ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}}$

I can open mhchem.lyx with LyX and see a preview of the reaction. I can
copy and paste it in LyX and see a preview. But I cannot reproduce
typing this in with LyX 1.5.5 on Ubuntu 8.04 and I want to know if I
miss something, if it is a bug or a regression (perhaps it did work only

I hope I could point out my problem?!

1. Type it as normal text in your paragraph.

3. Repeat (mark and Ctrl-M) to convert to Text-in-Math.

(Tested with LyX 1.6.0 on Debian. AFAIK, this worked also in 1.5.
 In earlier Versions, the trick is to drag and drop the LaTeX-math expression
 with the mouse in a math box.)
 
BTW: 1.6.0 on Debian also allows entering spaces in Text-in-Math and
you leaves this mode with right arrow. Maybe upgrading to 1.5.7 helps

Re: lyx2lyx script broken (1.6.0 on Vista)

This has gone on far too long, and I'm not really interested in
arguing the point. But some of your response is simply factually
incorrect. So, for the record:

 Windows/286 transition maintained compatibility in the Windows API;
 Windows 1.x applications ran unchanged in the 2.0 family.
 
 Windows 2.0 was released pretty exactly two years after 1.0, Windows 3.0
 completely broke the API 2 1/2 years later.

16-bit Windows applications continued to run unchanged under Windows 3.0.

Windows 2.0.

 - X11R3. The X11 API was layered correctly: as long as the server
 follows the protocol spec, it doesn't matter what it does under the
 covers. I added support for new hardware to the ddx layer; wrote new
 window managers with completely different look-and-feel from the
 standard ones; added extensions to X11 itself. None of that interfered
 with existing clients one bit.
 
 X11R3: End of 88, X11R4: End of 89.

And clients continued to work. And they still work, under X11R5. New
releases came out and API compatibility was maintained. Which was my
point.

 Pretty much around 1990 supposedly the last person died that used plain X.

What's plain X? Everyone always ran windows managers on top of X11.
That's part of the architecture.

 - The 4.3 BSD kernel. Extended multihead support in the console driver
 and wrote some drivers for new hardware. Enhanced the shared memory
 kernel option. Nothing that didn't want to use the new features needed
 to be recompiled.
 
 Spring (?) 2001 - January 2002.

I don't know what those dates are supposed to refer to. BSD 4.3 was

Thanks a lot for these tips! I was looking for such tools. 

This time I have already invested in a AGP graphics card 
for my system and it paid off. The lag is gone and I can use LyX 1.6
very smoothly again. 

FYI, I purchased a geforce 6200 card PNY VERTO GF 6200 AGP 256MB retail
(G606200A8D24LPB).

The card was easy to install - even on in a narrow AGP slot - and in
Ubuntu 8.10 the nvidia proprietary driver got automatically pushed into
the system. 

So, everything works fine now and thanks for sharing your comments.

I found in the mail list achieve that someone suggest using a smart paste.

Which means, When I copy a citation from Jabref using ctrl + k, next, 
I can directly paste the string to Lyx. Then Lyx should recognize this 
insert as a citation and do the same things like insert-citation.


But I haven't get the method, and don't know how to enable this smart 
paste in Lyx 1.6.

I think many people want to see LyX as tool similar to Kompozer (HTML
editor). The problem with LaTeX language is that it is not
hierarchical as HTML (subset of XML). LyX itself tries to hold
document structure as hierarchical, what is much clearer. LaTeX is
used to format text according to some definitions from document
classes. But it large number of places it allows users doing things
not exchangeable in both directions, if structure has to be kept.

Personally I see this as large disadvantage of LaTeX, but there is
nothing better that to flowing text automatically. LyX is good balance
between structured documents and LaTeX strengths.

I now tried to use it with the 1.6.0 package provided at:
http://www.getdeb.net/app/LyX


Still no change. So do I have to face the fact that my computer system
is 4 years old and never was speedy graphic-wise?

Thus, there might be only 2 options:

1. Go back to 1.5.6 (How to convert files from 1.6?) or try out 1.5.7
(No deb package available yet, have to check if the speed is ok there).

2. Upgrade my system: Maybe an AGP card such as Geoforce 6200 would
work in my system.


The question remains, what changed in 1.6 in terms
of new library usage that might have caused this increase in resource
requirement?

This is indeed the right question. Do you use the same qt version for

If you have some time to spend on this, the tool that might help you to

Migration assistant only moves files that are visible in the Finder.
The TeX backend gets installed in invisible locations and so does not
get transferred. My guess is that you simply need to install MacTeX on

How to enter text in math mode?

[Tobias Hilbricht]

Dear readers of this list,

I am using LyX 1.5.5 on Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Hardy) to write down some
chemistry. I found the following hint in the LyX Wiki on using the LaTeX
package mhchem in LyX math mode in order to preview the formulas on
screen: 
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXForX (see the point Chemistry - Typesetting
formulae)
However, I am unable to reproduce the example mhchem.lyx given on that
internet site: When I type Ctrl-m Ctrl-m in order to get into text in
math mode, I end up in an mbox, and as soon as I enter a space after H+
to write something like this into that mbox: \ce{H+ + OH- <=>> H2O}, the
cursor jumps out of the box. So I can only type single compounds, but no
reactions.
If I type Ctrl-m to enter math mode and then press Ctrl-l to enter ERT
\text{\ce{H+ + OH- <=>> H2O}} the cursor also jumps out of the text-box
as soon as I enter a space after H+. Again, as a result, only single
compounds are possible with preview. 
The LaTeX amsmath-package is available and checked in LyX document
settings. It is possible to enter pure ERT like $\text{\ce{H+ + OH- <=>>
H2O}}$ and get it typeset by LyX/LaTeX, but then I have no preview.

So my question: How do I enter something like \text{\ce{H+ + OH- <=>>
H2O}} in math mode?

Thanks for helpful hints

Yours sincerely

Tobias Hilbricht

Re: How to enter text in math mode?

[Erez Yerushalmi]

If I understood you correctly, this is very easy.

press control-M and then control-M again.  When you want to return to math
in the same math box, just do space.

Dear Erez,

thank you for your quick reply. I am afraid it is not that simple,
because what you suggested is just what I try to do with the following:

\ce{H+ + OH- <=>> H2O}

\ce{...} is a macro of the mhchem package.

So be so kind and tell me if you can do Ctrl-m Ctrl-m and type in the
macro mentioned above without the cursor jumping out of the mbox when
entering a space.

I can do what you said with simple text, but not with the macro above. I
am using. If it works for you, do you use LyX 1.5.5, perhaps on Ubuntu

Dear Erez,

I probably was not clear enough.

mhchem is a LaTeX package to write chemical compounds and reactions. \ce
is a macro of mhchem, so you have call for mhchem in LyX under Document
-> Settings -> Preamble.

I would like to enter mhchem macros in math mode rather than in plain
ERT, because then I have a preview. Somebody published in the LyX wiki a
little HowTo and an example file mhchem.lyx:

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXForX (see the point Chemistry - Typesetting
formulae)

If you open mhchem.lyx with a plain text editor then that somebody
managed to get this line into *mhchem.lyx*:

\begin_inset Formula $\text{\ce{H+ + OH- <=>> H2O}}$

I can open mhchem.lyx with LyX and see a preview of the reaction. I can
copy and paste it in LyX and see a preview. But I cannot reproduce
typing this in with LyX 1.5.5 on Ubuntu 8.04 and I want to know if I
miss something, if it is a bug or a regression (perhaps it did work only
with older versions?).

I hope I could point out my problem?!

Yours sincerely

Tobias Hilbricht

What would jabref like to use to talk to other applications. We could

Re: lyx wont covert my document to dvi

Hi,

I'm a lyx newbie.
I started writing my document and I wanted to export it to dvi.
but when I hit the "view dvi " , or export->dvi , nothing happens.
I can export it to a tex file and then with latex convert it to dvi.
also, if I open Lyx tutorial and hit "view dvi" , everything works fine.
does it mean there is something wrong with my document?

thanks for the help.




When you try View->DVI with your document, does the LyX status line 
report "Waiting for LaTeX run number 1", or does literally nothing 
happen?  Also, after trying to view, does Document -> LaTeX Log contain 
a log and, if so, does it report any LaTeX errors or anomalies?

1. Type it as normal text in your paragraph.

2. Mark it and press Ctrl-M to convert to Math

3. Repeat (mark and Ctrl-M) to convert to Text-in-Math.

(Tested with LyX 1.6.0 on Debian. AFAIK, this worked also in 1.5.
 In earlier Versions, the trick is to drag and drop the LaTeX-math expression
 with the mouse in a math box.)
 
BTW: 1.6.0 on Debian also allows entering spaces in Text-in-Math and
you leaves this mode with right arrow. Maybe upgrading to 1.5.7 helps
(if 1.6.0 is not an option).

 Ok. Now I can understand the problem.
 Like Konrad say, you can put Source Code View and get a Latex view like-Kile.

Re: lyx2lyx script broken (1.6.0 on Vista)

This has gone on far too long, and I'm not really interested in
arguing the point. But some of your response is simply factually
incorrect. So, for the record:

16-bit Windows applications continued to run unchanged under Windows 3.0.

Tell that to the hundreds of customers we sold development tools for
Windows 2.0.

And clients continued to work. And they still work, under X11R5. New
releases came out and API compatibility was maintained. Which was my
point.

What's "plain X"? Everyone always ran windows managers on top of X11.
That's part of the architecture.

I don't know what those dates are supposed to refer to. BSD 4.3 was
released in 1986. BSD 4.4 in 1994.

Thanks a lot for these tips! I was looking for such tools. 

This time I have already invested in a AGP graphics card 
for my system and it paid off. The lag is gone and I can use LyX 1.6
very smoothly again. 

FYI, I purchased a geforce 6200 card PNY VERTO GF 6200 AGP 256MB retail
(G606200A8D24LPB).

The card was easy to install - even on in a narrow AGP slot - and in
Ubuntu 8.10 the nvidia proprietary driver got automatically pushed into
the system. 

So, everything works fine now and thanks for sharing your comments.

Thanks for your reply Andre.

Jabref's push button not only support Lyx, it also support WinEdt and 
many other applications. I don't think these communications were all 
through the sockets.


And I hope someone will be programming this functionality in windows.

Thanks. Lyx is great!
