 In many cases LyX is not able to find the true location of the
 offending code (e.g. if inside a float or a macro definition in the
 preamble).

Please provide examples for the float thing and other instances where the 
place in the document is not found (otherwise we cannot fix it).
Preamble is more difficult to solve I guess.

  More longer excerpts from the error messages?

 How about a button that takes you to the Error message in the LaTeX log?

Hm.

 Also, I am missing a search feature in the LaTeX log window.

Yes, that would be helpful indeed.

 Dear Gurus for lyx/latex,

 I am trying to trace a citation error in my document (koma, book, 2 column,
 debian). I divided the document in a master and several subdocuments.
 I am getting in /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ4198/lyx_tmpbuf directories for the
 master and the subdocuments.
 Could somebody explain the task of these tmp files and its handling by lyx?

 The reason is, that I have difficulties to localize the citation error,
 because even after taking out the offending citation lyx is still
 complaining about it. I have to close lyx and reopen it until I get the
 response after removing. I guessed, that the aux file is reused after a new
 run of lyx (without closing it down), and wanted to remove it therefore
 from the tmp-directory(ies). I am however, uncertain about it, since the
 last file which contains the citation error produces no tmp-directory.

 Also, why has the master file directory no aux-file, although this is the
 file where the list of references is located at the end. The subdirectories
 have also a list of references at the end, but they are in a
 commentary-note (allowing to view all the references, that is master and
 subdirectories).

Hi Uwe,

Thanks! (extended of course to the whole LyX team).

Just a question: What's the status of elyxer in your installer ?

I think you had planned to bundle elyxer in the installer the same way 
you do for imagemagick and other stuff. After installing from the 
small installer, LyX uses htlatex on my machine (which fails to 
convert the document I tested it with). So I guess it's not bundled in 
the small installer. Do I need to download the full installer (huge!), 
or is there a way to install elyxer and then reconfigure lyx. Should I 
create an HTML2 file format ?


Thanks for the tip,

Best regards,

Olivier

Yes this was the plan. After discussions with the other LyX developers the new plan is to include it

Unavailable document classes

[Walter van Holst]

Hello,

I'm a somewhat infrequent user of LyX on Mac OS X. About every other 
update (my current version is 1.6.1), most of the document classes 
become unavailable. That is LyX can edit documents in them, but not 
produce output.


How do I prevent this from happening? This is an exceedingly annoying 
'feature' of LyX.

Well, after doing this, exporting to HTML results only in elyxer.py

the editor (closing the file is not enough). And no HTML has been 
produced, as far as I can see.
I do not have python installed and do not want to (well, there are some 
python.exe with LyX and Inkscape), so the only action defined for .py 
files is open, which is with my text editor (PSPAD).


Same effect with elyxer 0.23 or 0.24.

It seems that the problem is that lyx tries to launch elyxer.py directly 
instead of calling the local python interpreter. But then, if I add 
python before elyxer.py in the command for LyX-HTML, python fails to 
find elyxer.py (even if I copy it in the scripts or bin folders).


Any idea ?

While trying that...
... I also notice a strange behaviour with reconfigure changing the 
path: I need to do it twice (including exiting/reopening) to have 
changes taken into account.


For example, after changing the path to include elyxer, reconfiguring, 
exiting LyX, then reopening it, htlatex is still used. I need to 
reconfigure a second time, exit, repoen and then it works (well, see 
above what I call works).
The same if done the other way: I remove elyxer from the path, 
reconfigure, exit, reopen and lyx complains of not finding elyxer. I 
then reconfigure again, exit, reopen and it works.

If I reconfigure twice, exit and reopen, it does not work.
If I reconfigure, exit, open, exit, open, it does not work.

You must have Python installed to get it working. The python.exe you find in LyX's bin folder is a 
stripped down version of Python to be able to run LyX's python scripts. But for eLyXer you need 
more, so for now you have to install Python completely.

I managed to get elyxer working by doing the following:
- copy elyxer.py to the script folder (C:\Program Files\LyX 
1.6.3\Resources\scripts) on my machine,
- in Preferences - Converters, in the LyX - HTML, modify the command 
to be:

python $$s/scripts/elyxer.py $$i $$o

That works.

The first file sent to elyxer was probably a little too complex. I 
killed python after 40 minutes running full on one CPU.
I later gave it a less complex file and it returned a correct and nice 
result (where htlatex fails). I appreciate the fact that the home-made 
character styles are converted to a Flex CSS class, which can then be 
created in CSS.


Tiny bugs / feature requests for elyxer and LyX (probably already known):

1-
Figure numbers are missing in the references. The link with a little 
blue arrow works, but my text is full of Fig.  without figure number.


2-
The HTML file is returned in a subfolder, so all images links are 
broken. When moving the file in the parent folder (where the lyx file 
is, and where the pdf/ps/TeX are exported, it works fine.


3-
There is one place in my file where I used the \unittwo tip given in 
LyX docs (Appendix A Typographic Advice of Math docs).


The LyX file at that point is:
\begin_inset Formula $\unit[950]{\mu m}$
\end_inset

The view source panel shows:
$\unit[950]{\mu m}$

The pdf export is fine, but elyxer outputs:
span class=formulaspan 
class=unknown\unit/span[950]μim/i/span


which results in Firefox in:
\unit[950]μm

But overall, it looks already very good.

Put it into ERT (InsertTeX Code) at the very beginning of the algorithm 
float, and then you can just use the enumerate environment. Because such 
redeclarations are local to an environment, you won't have


Actually, you're going to have the wrong sort of indentation doing it 
that way. So you will need to adjust that. Adding something like

   \setlength\leftmargin{0pt}
might do it, but you'll have to play with other list settings to get it 
just right, I think. See here:
   
http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/teTeX/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-260.html
for details on other lengths you can change. Maybe you could try 
something like:

   \setlength\labelsep{???}
to restore indentation, but I'm not sure what to put in there.

Sorry this is so complicated, but when you want to get automatic 
numbering of a special kind, then you're basically programming.


Alternatively, you might be able to use the program listing environment 
to do what you want. You can InsertProgram Listing in your algorithm 
float, and then see if listings provides for customization of line 
numbers. The docs are here:
   
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/listings/listings.pdf

I'm not myself familiar with listings, though.

Quite cleverly done. I believe that the version of Python distributed
with LyX should run eLyXer just fine.

 The first file sent to elyxer was probably a little too complex. I killed
 python after 40 minutes running full on one CPU.

This is the one I'm mostly interested on.

 I later gave it a less complex file and it returned a correct and nice
 result (where htlatex fails). I appreciate the fact that the home-made
 character styles are converted to a Flex CSS class, which can then be
 created in CSS.

Any custom layouts are converted to custom CSS classes. You have
indeed good eyes.

 Tiny bugs / feature requests for elyxer and LyX (probably already known):

Not so much.

 1-
 Figure numbers are missing in the references. The link with a little blue
 arrow works, but my text is full of Fig.  without figure number.

Odd, captions should work fine. Again, please send me a sample
document if at all possible.

 2-
 The HTML file is returned in a subfolder, so all images links are broken.
 When moving the file in the parent folder (where the lyx file is, and where
 the pdf/ps/TeX are exported, it works fine.

This is a design decision of Pavel Sanda (and for the record, I do not
agree with it):
  http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-de...@lists.lyx.org/msg150892.html
There is the possibility of copying all referred image files, convert
them and then copy them back. This approach requires more work and I'm
still figuring it out.

 3-
 There is one place in my file where I used the \unittwo tip given in LyX
 docs (Appendix A Typographic Advice of Math docs).

The \unit tag is not supported yet. If you send me a sample doc I will
try to make it work.

Yes, I know I am requesting a lot of sample files from you; but that
is how eLyXer has improved until now, thanks to kind testers. You can

 This is a design decision of Pavel Sanda (and for the record, I do not
 agree with it):

to be exact _my_ design decision was that view-html should never produce
new files to appear inside document directory (this should happen only when
one chooses export.)

one byproduct of such solution is needless cluttering of document directory
without users request.

second and worse byproduct is that it will rewrite already exported html
file when user requests view-html action which usually has only debugging 
purposes - nobody wants to destroy exported result by some intermediate file.

thirdly it would also break the habits how we treat all other formats.


but the implementation details are up to you decision and i have no opinion
about parent/subfolder placement etc. the copier was put there only as
copypaste placeholder from other html converter which should be changed into
something else i guess.

 This will have the consequence that your text, even if monolingually
 English,

 * will not be hyphenated correctly
 * cannot be spellchecked

Well, babel at least isn't required for spell checking. However, in a
broad picture there are two ways babel can be used:

1) Old way User manually adds \foriegnlanguage tags to quoted text,
loan words, etc.
2) New way LyX stores language text is in, and outputs tags to
switch between lanuages.

With the (1), if the user puts \foriegnlanguage tags around all quote
etc., producing a UK edition from a US addition is trivial: Switch the
document type to UK, spellcheck (hopefully the author has avoided
ambiguous dates etc.), and 5 minutes later we have a version of the
document in UK English.

With (2) it is not so simple. The obvious way is to switch the
document type to UK English, but then LyX fights your decision by
adding \foriegnlanguage tags around everything. You can fix this by
selecting All and reseting the language. Then however, all the quotes
are now in UK English as well, even e.g. French quotes.

AFAICT, LyX has no way of distinguishing between (a) This is text is
in UK English because this is a UK English document and (b) This
text is in UK English, because it is a quote, name etc.. This
distinction seems to be useful when preparing the same document in
different dialects.

We could add an additional language Default to allow us to
distinguish between (a) and (b), if we felt this was important.

 Dear Gurus for lyx/latex,

 I am trying to trace a citation error in my document (koma, book, 2 column,
 debian). I divided the document in a master and several subdocuments.
 I am getting in /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ4198/lyx_tmpbuf directories for the
 master and the subdocuments.
 Could somebody explain the task of these tmp files and its handling by lyx?

 The reason is, that I have difficulties to localize the citation error,
 because even after taking out the offending citation lyx is still
 complaining about it. I have to close lyx and reopen it until I get the
 response after removing. I guessed, that the aux file is reused after a new
 run of lyx (without closing it down), and wanted to remove it therefore
 from the tmp-directory(ies). I am however, uncertain about it, since the
 last file which contains the citation error produces no tmp-directory.

 Also, why has the master file directory no aux-file, although this is the
 file where the list of references is located at the end. The subdirectories
 have also a list of references at the end, but they are in a
 commentary-note (allowing to view all the references, that is master and
 subdirectories).

Hi Uwe,

Thanks! (extended of course to the whole LyX team).

Just a question: What's the status of elyxer in your installer ?

I think you had planned to bundle elyxer in the installer the same way 
you do for imagemagick and other stuff. After installing from the 
small installer, LyX uses htlatex on my machine (which fails to 
convert the document I tested it with). So I guess it's not bundled in 
the small installer. Do I need to download the full installer (huge!), 
or is there a way to install elyxer and then reconfigure lyx. Should I 
create an HTML2 file format ?


Thanks for the tip,

Best regards,

Olivier

Unavailable document classes

[Walter van Holst]

Hello,

I'm a somewhat infrequent user of LyX on Mac OS X. About every other 
update (my current version is 1.6.1), most of the document classes 
become unavailable. That is LyX can edit documents in them, but not 
produce output.


How do I prevent this from happening? This is an exceedingly annoying 
'feature' of LyX.

Well, after doing this, exporting to HTML results only in elyxer.py

I do not have python installed and do not want to (well, there are some 
python.exe with LyX and Inkscape), so the only action defined for .py 
files is open, which is with my text editor (PSPAD).


Same effect with elyxer 0.23 or 0.24.

It seems that the problem is that lyx tries to launch elyxer.py directly 
instead of calling the local python interpreter. But then, if I add 
python before elyxer.py in the command for LyX-HTML, python fails to 
find elyxer.py (even if I copy it in the scripts or bin folders).


Any idea ?

While trying that...
... I also notice a strange behaviour with reconfigure changing the 
path: I need to do it twice (including exiting/reopening) to have 
changes taken into account.


For example, after changing the path to include elyxer, reconfiguring, 
exiting LyX, then reopening it, htlatex is still used. I need to 
reconfigure a second time, exit, repoen and then it works (well, see 
above what I call works).
The same if done the other way: I remove elyxer from the path, 
reconfigure, exit, reopen and lyx complains of not finding elyxer. I 
then reconfigure again, exit, reopen and it works.

If I reconfigure twice, exit and reopen, it does not work.
If I reconfigure, exit, open, exit, open, it does not work.

You must have Python installed to get it working. The python.exe you find in LyX's bin folder is a 
stripped down version of Python to be able to run LyX's python scripts. But for eLyXer you need 
more, so for now you have to install Python completely.

The view source panel shows:

The pdf export is fine, but elyxer outputs:

Algorithms in LyX

(2.2) bla
(2.3.1) again

etc.
Is there any way to do this? I have no idea how to use packages and haven't

LyX installation. You might try reinstalling/updating both.


It's a matter of LyX's not having found the LaTeX classes. For what it's

Put it into ERT (InsertTeX Code) at the very beginning of the algorithm 
float, and then you can just use the enumerate environment. Because such 
redeclarations are local to an environment, you won't have


Actually, you're going to have the wrong sort of indentation doing it 
that way. So you will need to adjust that. Adding something like

   \setlength\leftmargin{0pt}
might do it, but you'll have to play with other list settings to get it 
just right, I think. See here:
   
http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/teTeX/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-260.html
for details on other lengths you can change. Maybe you could try 
something like:

   \setlength\labelsep{???}
to restore indentation, but I'm not sure what to put in there.

Sorry this is so complicated, but when you want to get automatic 
numbering of a special kind, then you're basically programming.


Alternatively, you might be able to use the program listing environment 
to do what you want. You can InsertProgram Listing in your algorithm 
float, and then see if listings provides for customization of line 
numbers. The docs are here:
   
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/listings/listings.pdf

I'm not myself familiar with listings, though.

Quite cleverly done. I believe that the version of Python distributed

 The first file sent to elyxer was probably a little too complex. I killed
 python after 40 minutes running full on one CPU.

This is the one I'm mostly interested on.

 I later gave it a less complex file and it returned a correct and nice
 result (where htlatex fails). I appreciate the fact that the home-made
 character styles are converted to a Flex CSS class, which can then be
 created in CSS.

Any custom layouts are converted to custom CSS classes. You have
indeed good eyes.

 Figure numbers are missing in the references. The link with a little blue

Odd, captions should work fine. Again, please send me a sample
document if at all possible.

 2-
 The HTML file is returned in a subfolder, so all images links are broken.
 When moving the file in the parent folder (where the lyx file is, and where
 the pdf/ps/TeX are exported, it works fine.

This is a design decision of Pavel Sanda (and for the record, I do not
agree with it):
  http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-de...@lists.lyx.org/msg150892.html
There is the possibility of copying all referred image files, convert
them and then copy them back. This approach requires more work and I'm
still figuring it out.

 3-
 There is one place in my file where I used the \unittwo tip given in LyX
 docs (Appendix A Typographic Advice of Math docs).

The \unit tag is not supported yet. If you send me a sample doc I will
try to make it work.

Yes, I know I am requesting a lot of sample files from you; but that

to be exact _my_ design decision was that view-html should never produce
new files to appear inside document directory (this should happen only when
one chooses export.)

one byproduct of such solution is needless cluttering of document directory
without users request.

second and worse byproduct is that it will rewrite already exported html
file when user requests view-html action which usually has only debugging 
purposes - nobody wants to destroy exported result by some intermediate file.

thirdly it would also break the habits how we treat all other formats.

Well, babel at least isn't required for spell checking. However, in a
broad picture there are two ways babel can be used:

1) Old way User manually adds \foriegnlanguage tags to quoted text,
loan words, etc.
2) New way LyX stores language text is in, and outputs tags to
switch between lanuages.

With the (1), if the user puts \foriegnlanguage tags around all quote
etc., producing a UK edition from a US addition is trivial: Switch the
document type to UK, spellcheck (hopefully the author has avoided
ambiguous dates etc.), and 5 minutes later we have a version of the
document in UK English.

With (2) it is not so simple. The obvious way is to switch the
document type to UK English, but then LyX fights your decision by
adding \foriegnlanguage tags around everything. You can fix this by
selecting All and reseting the language. Then however, all the quotes
are now in UK English as well, even e.g. French quotes.

AFAICT, LyX has no way of distinguishing between (a) This is text is
in UK English because this is a UK English document and (b) This
text is in UK English, because it is a quote, name etc.. This
distinction seems to be useful when preparing the same document in
different dialects.

We could add an additional language Default to allow us to
distinguish between (a) and (b), if we felt this was important.

Hi Uwe,

Thanks! (extended of course to the whole LyX team).

Just a question: What's the status of elyxer in your installer ?

I think you had planned to bundle elyxer in the installer the same way 
you do for imagemagick and other stuff. After installing from the 
"small" installer, LyX uses htlatex on my machine (which fails to 
convert the document I tested it with). So I guess it's not bundled in 
the small installer. Do I need to download the "full" installer (huge!), 
or is there a way to install elyxer and then reconfigure lyx. Should I 
create an HTML2 file format ?

Yes this was the plan. After discussions with the other LyX developers the new plan is to include it 
only to the complete installer and to let people choose if they want to install eLyXer or not.
I tried to do implement this in the installer, but haven't found the time right now. Therefore I 
decided to release the installer for 1.6.3 now and to work on eLyXer the next days. So you can 
expect another installer release the next days that comes with eLyXer.


But even now, LyX will recognize eLyXer when you have it installed. All you have to do is to add the 
path to the file elyxer.py in the PATH prefix in LyX's preferences. Then reconfigure LyX and eLyXer 
should work. Could you please try this out? A feed back from you if this works would help me.

Unavailable document classes

Hello,

I'm a somewhat infrequent user of LyX on Mac OS X. About every other

I don't think that is so uncommon, maybe you simply didn't think that
your problem was related to watermarks and didn't search for the right
thing.

It is a matter of using the right keywords. The following URL should help:

Not at all. Just put an asterisk after \AddToShipoutPicture, i.e.,
use \AddToShipoutPicture* and only the first produced page will have
the border.

Re: [announce] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.6.3

Just a question: What's the status of elyxer in your installer ?

I think you had planned to bundle elyxer in the installer the same way 
you do for imagemagick and other stuff.


Yes this was the plan. After discussions with the other LyX developers 
the new plan is to include it only to the complete installer and to let 
people choose if they want to install eLyXer or not.
I tried to do implement this in the installer, but haven't found the 
time right now. Therefore I decided to release the installer for 1.6.3 
now and to work on eLyXer the next days. So you can expect another 
installer release the next days that comes with eLyXer.


But even now, LyX will recognize eLyXer when you have it installed. All 
you have to do is to add the path to the file elyxer.py in the PATH 
prefix in LyX's preferences. Then reconfigure LyX and eLyXer should 
work. Could you please try this out? A feed back from you if this works 
would help me.


Well, after doing this, exporting to HTML results only in elyxer.py 
being opened in my text editor, LyX window being "white" until I close 
the editor (closing the file is not enough). And no HTML has been 
produced, as far as I can see.
I do not have python installed and do not want to (well, there are some 
python.exe with LyX and Inkscape), so the only action defined for .py 
files is "open", which is with my text editor (PSPAD).


Same effect with elyxer 0.23 or 0.24.

It seems that the problem is that lyx tries to launch elyxer.py directly 
instead of calling the local python interpreter. But then, if I add 
python before elyxer.py in the command for LyX->HTML, python fails to 
find elyxer.py (even if I copy it in the scripts or bin folders).


Any idea ?

While trying that...
... I also notice a strange behaviour with reconfigure changing the 
path: I need to do it twice (including exiting/reopening) to have 
changes taken into account.


For example, after changing the path to include elyxer, reconfiguring, 
exiting LyX, then reopening it, htlatex is still used. I need to 
reconfigure a second time, exit, repoen and then it works (well, see 
above what I call works).
The same if done the other way: I remove elyxer from the path, 
reconfigure, exit, reopen and lyx complains of not finding elyxer. I 
then reconfigure again, exit, reopen and it works.

If I reconfigure twice, exit and reopen, it does not work.
If I reconfigure, exit, open, exit, open, it does not work.


Best regards,

Olivier

You must have Python installed to get it working. The python.exe you find in LyX's bin folder is a 
stripped down version of Python to be able to run LyX's python scripts. But for eLyXer you need 
more, so for now you have to install Python completely.

I'll have a look. But I won't have time for that until next monday.

I managed to get elyxer working by doing the following:
- copy elyxer.py to the script folder ("C:\Program Files\LyX 
1.6.3\Resources\scripts") on my machine,
- in Preferences -> Converters, in the LyX -> HTML, modify the command 
to be:

python $$s/scripts/elyxer.py $$i $$o

That works.

The first file sent to elyxer was probably a little too complex. I 
killed python after 40 minutes running full on one CPU.
I later gave it a less complex file and it returned a correct and nice 
result (where htlatex fails). I appreciate the fact that the home-made 
character styles are converted to a "Flex" CSS class, which can then be 
created in CSS.


Tiny bugs / feature requests for elyxer and LyX (probably already known):

1-
Figure numbers are missing in the references. The link with a little 
blue arrow works, but my text is full of "Fig. " without figure number.


2-
The HTML file is returned in a subfolder, so all images links are 
broken. When moving the file in the parent folder (where the lyx file 
is, and where the pdf/ps/TeX are exported, it works fine.


3-
There is one place in my file where I used the "\unittwo" tip given in 
LyX docs (Appendix A "Typographic Advice" of Math docs).


The LyX file at that point is:
\begin_inset Formula $\unit[950]{\mu m}$
\end_inset

The "view source" panel shows:
$\unit[950]{\mu m}$

The pdf export is fine, but elyxer outputs:
class="unknown">\unit[950]μm


which results in Firefox in:
\unit[950]μm

But overall, it looks already very good.

Algorithms in LyX

[Amir Rachum]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to write some algorithms in LyX 1.6.1 under XP.
I want to write pseudo code that will number my lines like so:
(1) bla
(2) bla
(2.1) bla
(2.2) bla
(2.3.1) again

etc.
Is there any way to do this? I have no idea how to use packages and haven't
found an easy way to achieve this. I am willing to try though, so if you can
post step by step instuctions I would appreciate it.






Thanks,
- Amir Rachum

This sounds like a problem with your LaTeX installation more than your  
LyX installation.  You might try reinstalling/updating both.


FYI, I use LyX routinely on Mac and have found it to be very stable  
and reliable...

It's a matter of LyX's not having found the LaTeX classes. For what it's 
worth, I think this is a problem with how software works on the Mac, but 
Bennett (who packages LyX for the Mac) might have a better idea.

I really have no idea. We check all the standard locations for LaTeX
installations, and I don't remember other reports of such problems.
(Does anyone else experience this? If so, please give some details
about your system and LaTeX installation ... and anything unusual you
might have done.)

Could you add this version (together with a link to the documentation

Once it goes into trunk, I'll probably add such a module to trunk, too,

Well, the first question then is how to do it in LaTeX, and to do that 
you need to produce some sort of list, I'd guess. Alternatively, you 
could just use the enumeration environment and change the numbering 
format. This will give you the correct LaTeX output, though it won't 
show properly on the screen. Something like this will do the trick:

\renewcommand\labelenumi{(\arabic{enumi})}
\renewcommand\labelenumii{(\arabic{enumi}.\arabic{enumii})}
\renewcommand\labelenumiii{(\arabic{enumi}.\arabic{enumii}.\arabic{enumiii})}
I'll leave yo to do \labelenumiv.
