tex4ht on FreeBSD with LyX 1.5.7

[Marco Beishuizen]

Hi,

I'm looking for someone who has experience with exporting lyx documents to 
open document format in FreeBSD. I read that is done by the tex4ht 
package. I'm running LyX 1.5.7 on FreeBSD 7.2-ST, and LyX uses teTeX 3.0.


How do I install tex4ht on my system? The LyX-wiki says that it should 
already been installed but on my system I don't think it is. When I add a 
converter LaTeX (plain) - OpenDocument with the converter htlatex, LyX 
complains that an error occurred whilst running htlatex, and does 
nothing. I hope that someone here has an idea how to do this. Perhaps I 
should wait for LyX 1.6 submitted to the ports?


Thanks in advance,

Marco

formatting help needed

[Markus Büchele]

Hi Lyx experts,

I have been using LYX for over decade now. It has always been a fantastic 
tool, especially for my PhD thesis. 

Unfortunately I have arrived at a dead end just before publication. My 
publisher (Franz Steiner Verlag, Stuttgart, Germany) has very percise ideas 
about the layout of the text and I am unable to adjust to his wishes with 
LYX.

I could not find a suitable template on the Internet. 
I don't know how to change parts of the layout beyond the text options.
That is why I need help in changing the page layout. I use the template book 
(more font sizes).

Things which need to be adapted are:
* font in the header, which has to be small capitals instead of capitals 
and a different font size
* header (left pages): the word chapter is printed in all chapters in German 
(Kapitel which is correct), but in chapter 9 there is chapter in the 
header (a bug?)
* space of indentation at the beginning of paragraphs
* headlines of chapters without the word chapter in the headline and 
different font size

If anybody feels able to help, please contact me and I will send you parts of 
my text and the exact figures so that the changes can be applied to it.

If it does not work out well this way, I will have no other choice than to 
transfer the whole text to M$-word and reformat it there.

I'm not an IT specialist, just a poor historian using LYX on Linux.
Please help me to prevent that nightmare!

Yours, 

Markus

All of this can be done, probably without too much trouble.

I assume here that you mean the page header, or do you mean the chapter 
titles? Adjusting the page headers can be done use the fancyhdr package, 
and is fairly simple.

   http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fancyhdr.html
Adjusting the chapter titles can be done using the titlesec package and 
is also fairly simple.

   http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/titlesec/
We can work out the details.

* header (left pages): the word chapter is printed in all chapters in German 
(Kapitel which is correct), but in chapter 9 there is chapter in the 
header (a bug?)


  
Did you have some English in the document somewhere? It seems as if the 
language has gotten changed.



* space of indentation at the beginning of paragraphs

  

In your preamble, put:
   \setlength\parindent{2cm}
or whatever it is you need. LaTeX will accept lots of different units, 
too. See here:
   
http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/teTeX/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-86.html

for help.

* headlines of chapters without the word chapter in the headline and 
different font size


  

I think this is where you want to use titlesec.

An alternative might be to switch to use the book (koma-script) class. 
The koma-script classes provide for a LOT of customization.

Richard,

  If you open Layout-Document-Text Layout there are radiobox options to
separate paragraphs by indentation or an extra line. I always use the
indentation option as document defaults, that this seems to be what is
desired.

  Does one really need to use the \parindent{} length?

Is SyncTex (going to be) supported in LyX?

[Stefano Franchi]

Dear all,

I read that the  release of SyncTeX in the latest version of pdflatex (i.e. in 
TeXLive 2008) makes possible back and forth navigation between pdf output and 
Latex sources in a fairly painless and rather accurate way. Is anything like 
that possible between pdf and LyX? Or is it perhaps a planned feature?

I seem to remember a developer saying that pdf--lyx navigation shuold work 
out ot the box thanks to Lyx's server technology, whereas lyx--pdf needs some 
coding efforts. But I could not find any detail on how to make the former (and, 
to me, most important) navigation work.


Cheers,

S.

I'm on Linux, unfortunately. Judging from the Mac instructions on the wiki,

Lyx+Miktex2.7+Windows7RC - installation problem

[Murat Yildizoglu]

I will also ask this to question in the Miktex forum but I have just
wanted to check if any of you has met the same problem as me before
posting:
I am running W7RC in Virtual box and wanted to install the full LyX
installer. Lyx installs fine but Windows meets a problem during Miktex
install, because it crashes when it arrives to LatexSetup.exe. Then
Windows asks me to close the program. When I try to repeat the
installation, it crashes at the same point.

I think it's mentioned in the Customization manual, but probably it 
should be mentioned in the User Guide, too, that character styles that 
come out of modules end up there. There are also custom insets that 
end up under InsertCustom Inset, but that's a little more intuitive, maybe.

Rds,




You need AMS math loaded.  In LyX, go to Document  Settings...  Math 
Options and check Use AMS math package.


Also, when you enter the command, be sure to start the braces with \{ 
rather than just {.  If you literally type \hdotsfor{3}, say, what 
you'll end up with in LaTeX is \hdotsfor\{3\}, escaping the braces, and 
then LaTeX will complain about a missing or invalid numerical argument. 
 If you type \hdotsfor followed by \{, LyX will convert \{ to a matched 
pair of braces with an input widget (rectangle) in between them, which 
is what you want.

tex4ht on FreeBSD with LyX 1.5.7

[Marco Beishuizen]

Hi,

I'm looking for someone who has experience with exporting lyx documents to 
open document format in FreeBSD. I read that is done by the tex4ht 
package. I'm running LyX 1.5.7 on FreeBSD 7.2-ST, and LyX uses teTeX 3.0.


How do I install tex4ht on my system? The LyX-wiki says that it should 
already been installed but on my system I don't think it is. When I add a 
converter LaTeX (plain) - OpenDocument with the converter htlatex, LyX 
complains that an error occurred whilst running htlatex, and does 
nothing. I hope that someone here has an idea how to do this. Perhaps I 
should wait for LyX 1.6 submitted to the ports?


Thanks in advance,

Marco

formatting help needed

[Markus Büchele]

Hi Lyx experts,

I have been using LYX for over decade now. It has always been a fantastic 
tool, especially for my PhD thesis. 

Unfortunately I have arrived at a dead end just before publication. My 
publisher (Franz Steiner Verlag, Stuttgart, Germany) has very percise ideas 
about the layout of the text and I am unable to adjust to his wishes with 
LYX.

I could not find a suitable template on the Internet. 
I don't know how to change parts of the layout beyond the text options.
That is why I need help in changing the page layout. I use the template book 
(more font sizes).

Things which need to be adapted are:
* font in the header, which has to be small capitals instead of capitals 
and a different font size
* header (left pages): the word chapter is printed in all chapters in German 
(Kapitel which is correct), but in chapter 9 there is chapter in the 
header (a bug?)
* space of indentation at the beginning of paragraphs
* headlines of chapters without the word chapter in the headline and 
different font size

If anybody feels able to help, please contact me and I will send you parts of 
my text and the exact figures so that the changes can be applied to it.

If it does not work out well this way, I will have no other choice than to 
transfer the whole text to M$-word and reformat it there.

I'm not an IT specialist, just a poor historian using LYX on Linux.
Please help me to prevent that nightmare!

Richard,

  If you open Layout-Document-Text Layout there are radiobox options to
separate paragraphs by indentation or an extra line. I always use the
indentation option as document defaults, that this seems to be what is
desired.

  Does one really need to use the \parindent{} length?

Is SyncTex (going to be) supported in LyX?

[Stefano Franchi]

Dear all,

I read that the  release of SyncTeX in the latest version of pdflatex (i.e. in 
TeXLive 2008) makes possible back and forth navigation between pdf output and 
Latex sources in a fairly painless and rather accurate way. Is anything like 
that possible between pdf and LyX? Or is it perhaps a planned feature?

I seem to remember a developer saying that pdf--lyx navigation shuold work 
out ot the box thanks to Lyx's server technology, whereas lyx--pdf needs some 
coding efforts. But I could not find any detail on how to make the former (and, 
to me, most important) navigation work.


Cheers,

S.

Lyx+Miktex2.7+Windows7RC - installation problem

[Murat Yildizoglu]

I will also ask this to question in the Miktex forum but I have just
wanted to check if any of you has met the same problem as me before
posting:
I am running W7RC in Virtual box and wanted to install the full LyX
installer. Lyx installs fine but Windows meets a problem during Miktex
install, because it crashes when it arrives to LatexSetup.exe. Then
Windows asks me to close the program. When I try to repeat the
installation, it crashes at the same point.

I think it's mentioned in the Customization manual, but probably it 
should be mentioned in the User Guide, too, that character styles that 
come out of modules end up there. There are also custom insets that

Rds,




You need AMS math loaded.  In LyX, go to Document  Settings...  Math 
Options and check Use AMS math package.


Also, when you enter the command, be sure to start the braces with \{ 
rather than just {.  If you literally type \hdotsfor{3}, say, what 
you'll end up with in LaTeX is \hdotsfor\{3\}, escaping the braces, and 
then LaTeX will complain about a missing or invalid numerical argument. 
 If you type \hdotsfor followed by \{, LyX will convert \{ to a matched 
pair of braces with an input widget (rectangle) in between them, which 
is what you want.

tex4ht on FreeBSD with LyX 1.5.7

[Marco Beishuizen]

Hi,

I'm looking for someone who has experience with exporting lyx documents to 
open document format in FreeBSD. I read that is done by the tex4ht 
package. I'm running LyX 1.5.7 on FreeBSD 7.2-ST, and LyX uses teTeX 3.0.


How do I install tex4ht on my system? The LyX-wiki says that it should 
already been installed but on my system I don't think it is. When I add a 
converter LaTeX (plain) -> OpenDocument with the converter htlatex, LyX 
complains that "an error occurred whilst running htlatex", and does 
nothing. I hope that someone here has an idea how to do this. Perhaps I 
should wait for LyX 1.6 submitted to the ports?


Thanks in advance,

Marco

formatting help needed

[Markus Büchele]

Hi Lyx experts,

I have been using LYX for over decade now. It has always been a fantastic 
tool, especially for my PhD thesis. 

Unfortunately I have arrived at a dead end just before publication. My 
publisher (Franz Steiner Verlag, Stuttgart, Germany) has very percise ideas 
about the layout of the text and I am unable to adjust to his wishes with 
LYX.

I could not find a suitable template on the Internet. 
I don't know how to change parts of the layout beyond the text options.
That is why I need help in changing the page layout. I use the template "book 
(more font sizes)".

Things which need to be adapted are:
* font in the header, which has to be small capitals instead of capitals 
and a different font size
* header (left pages): the word chapter is printed in all chapters in German 
("Kapitel" which is correct), but in chapter 9 there is "chapter" in the 
header (a bug?)
* space of indentation at the beginning of paragraphs
* headlines of chapters without the word "chapter" in the headline and 
different font size

If anybody feels able to help, please contact me and I will send you parts of 
my text and the exact figures so that the changes can be applied to it.

If it does not work out well this way, I will have no other choice than to 
transfer the whole text to M$-word and reformat it there.

I'm not an IT specialist, just a poor historian using LYX on Linux.
Please help me to prevent that nightmare!

Yours, 

Markus

Using Logical Markup module

[Ian S. Worthington]

Hi --

I've added the "Logical Markup" module under Document>Settings but I'm at a
loss how to input eg \code{xx}.

Also is there a list somewhere of the character style it contains?

Thanks,

turning a table sidewise

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

I can' t get a table turn sidewise. I am using LyX1.6.2 and koma book. 
The legend is turned sidewise, but not the table. I am using 2columns and have 
set: covering both columns and turning sidewise.

Is SyncTex (going to be) supported in LyX?

[Stefano Franchi]

Dear all,

I read that the  release of SyncTeX in the latest version of pdflatex (i.e. in 
TeXLive 2008) makes possible back and forth navigation between pdf output and 
Latex sources in a fairly painless and rather accurate way. Is anything like 
that possible between pdf and LyX? Or is it perhaps a planned feature?

I seem to remember a developer saying that pdf-->lyx navigation shuold work 
out ot the box thanks to Lyx's server technology, whereas lyx-->pdf needs some 
coding efforts. But I could not find any detail on how to make the former (and, 
to me, most important) navigation work.


Cheers,

S.

I'm on Linux, unfortunately. Judging from the Mac instructions on the wiki, 
though, it seems that all it's needed is a SyncTeX-aware pdf viewer. Are there 
any available on Linux? If so, I can't seem to find them.

Lyx+Miktex2.7+Windows7RC -> installation problem

[Murat Yildizoglu]

I will also ask this to question in the Miktex forum but I have just
wanted to check if any of you has met the same problem as me before
posting:
I am running W7RC in Virtual box and wanted to install the full LyX
installer. Lyx installs fine but Windows meets a problem during Miktex
install, because it crashes when it arrives to LatexSetup.exe. Then
Windows asks me to close the program. When I try to repeat the
installation, it crashes at the same point.

I think it's mentioned in the Customization manual, but probably it 
should be mentioned in the User Guide, too, that character styles that 
come out of modules end up there. There are also "custom insets" that 
end up under Insert>Custom Inset, but that's a little more intuitive, maybe.

Re: Is SyncTex (going to be) supported in LyX?

[Matts Lindström]

Hello, this is related: how do I get source specials and reverse
search working with lyx and dvi-viewers under linux (xdvi or kdvi)?
(So that when I click on a word in the dvi-viewer I get there in the
LyX-buffer)

In the LyxWiki there are instructions for how to accomplish this under
Mac OS X, but these do not seem to apply to Linux (I'm on Ubuntu
running lyx 1.6.1).

Thanks in advance,

\hdotsfor{''n''} []

[Hicham Mouline]

Hello, 
I am trying to spread the ellipsis over many columns of a matrix... lyx
shouts:
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Is there a specific miktex (mpm.exe) package I need to see installed?

Do you have the KomaScript package installed?  If you run 'kpsewhich 
scrartcl.cls' in a terminal window/command shell, does it find the class 
file?

Rds,




You need AMS math loaded.  In LyX, go to Document > Settings... > Math 
Options and check "Use AMS math package".


Also, when you enter the command, be sure to start the braces with \{ 
rather than just {.  If you literally type \hdotsfor{3}, say, what 
you'll end up with in LaTeX is \hdotsfor\{3\}, escaping the braces, and 
then LaTeX will complain about a missing or invalid numerical argument. 
 If you type \hdotsfor followed by \{, LyX will convert \{ to a matched 
pair of braces with an input widget (rectangle) in between them, which 
is what you want.

Is it because lyx is trying to compile your file in a temp folder, but the file 
you want to attach was not copied over to the temp location, so a relative path 
(relative to the actual lyx file, not the temp file) doesn't work?

I am also new to lyx, so lyxers, please correct me if I am wrong.

The `attachfile’ package you suggested works great if I export  lyx file to tex

the lyx file  to pdflatex directly, it  throws me an error –  “pdftex error:

It doesn’t seem to locate the  file. Any pointers on how to resolve this would 
be very helpful.

More help with bst file

[BcBob]

Well, I think I am getting close on setting up a bst file for the journal
'Medical Physics'.

I have modified IEEEtran.bst. Here are my remaining problems:

article-delete comma between journal name and volume #
article- make volume number bold font
book-replace period after book title with comma
book-(low priority) replace 'and' before last author name with a comma

I am attaching a zip archive (~60 kilobytes) with the following files to
help in debugging
d2.lyx - a sample document
IEEEtran2.bst - the latest bst file
BobRefs.bib - the bib data used for test
d2.pdf - sample output

I am working with Lyx 1.5.5 on WindowsXP

Help in solving any or all of the problems listed above will be appreciated.
Please be as explicit as possible in suggesting changes as I am new to this
(although learning fast. I have downloaded documents on the bst language but
just getting started)
