silly newby graphics question

[Richard Brown]

This is a sily question, but my only excuse is I'm trying to understand.
Thanks for your patience, understanding and answers!

Up to now I've been inserting my photographs and other graphics in a float.
But what is the float actually  for? Can I just insert the graphics files
directly via the Insert  Graphics command? If I can, what are the
advantages and disadvantages of each system, that is with or without  a
float?

TIA

inserting black and white graphics (musical notation) from TIFF

[Richard Brown]

I have some TIFF files exported from Sibelius, the music scoring program.
They are just high-quality images of black and white music scores. I tried
converting them to jpg in GIMP for inclusion in my Lyx manuscript, but the
results were awful- or at least, they were awful in lyx. When I open the
converted jpg files in other software they are really clear and good, but in
Lyx onscreen they are very poor and in the dvi files even worse. Many of the
fine lines that indicate musical notes are patchy, and a lot have
disappeared. Has anyone got any good ideas as to how to process this?

TIA

Re: silly newby graphics question

[Julio Rojas]

A float leaves to LaTeX the decision of where to put the image. This
is not a trivial decision and in most cases, LaTeX does a better job
than you at balancing text distribution when an image is inserted.
Even if you want to put an image in a particular place, a float allows
you to do it.

It's much better if you print them as PDFs and the include them in
your Lyx document. I think this should be possible from your
application.

JPEG is a lossy image comression format suited for photographic pictures,
not for musical scores (nor text nor line drawings, ...)

If a pixmap is the only option, try PNG instead. If Sibelius allows
export to a vector format (PDF or SVG, say) this will be even better,
because then you can scale the image without loss of quality
(even if it might look bad on-screen).

Not out of the box. However, you can bind a key to a command-sequence
setting both, language and font.

 How do I tell it the unicode range for Cherokee is another language?=20

This might become a feature in future, however it will not work for

 Yes, it does have XML-RPC capability. Does LyX have a
 built-in XML-RPC client, or would I have to use a separate one?  I
 would still want the option to do a full preview before pulling the
 trigger on a post.

 You can review a file in the browser. Then accept further processing and
 call some application submitting through XML-RPC.

But then, it would be more sensible to add the submit to
blogging-site feature to the browser, IMO.

The alternative language is not for additional languages but for very

Problème de mise en page sur LYX

[Lolom]

Bonjour,

Je rédige actuellement mon mémoire en utilisant Lyx. Cependant, j'ai
quelques soucis de mise en page.
J'ai choisis la classe de document report qui me semble la plus adaptée
pour un mémoire. Mais la numérotation des sections commence à 0 (j'obtiens
0.1 puis 0.2 ...). Commment faire pour commencer à 1 ? Est-ce possible dans
la classe de document report ?
J'aimerais aussi écrire plus sur une ligne, pour l'instant, j'obtiens du
texte seulement sur 11cm ! Comment faire pour avoir des marges plus petites
à droite et à gauche ? Y a-t-il une classe de document pour cela ?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide,

Hi Uwe,

 Why the explicit --html option? As you know we use this call as default for
 LyX:

 python -m elyxer --directory $$r $$i $$o

 It the --html a new option and what is it for?

The --html option was in fact added to version 0.21; it is used to
export to HTML 4.0 (as opposed to XHTML). The reason is that office
suites (including Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org) can import
HTML, but not XHTML.

 In fact, I don't see why eLyXer should not be the default Word
 exporter.

 We have a special export format names HTML (MS Word) that is created by
 tex4ht:

 htlatex $$i 'html,word' 'symbol/!' '-cvalidate'

 I don't know the difference between html and this special html variant. I
 therefore cannot answer you that question.

It would appear that htlatex also has an option to export some kind of
format better suited to Word. My proposal is to use this format HTML
(MS Word) but with eLyXer as the converter. I think it could work
even better than with htlatex. If you think it's a good idea I can
easily provide a patch.

As far as I know, the situation is the same. I have tried importing

beyond that is botched. I don't know if there is any route other than

Floats provide a facility for a caption and placement in a table of 
illustrations, as well as the ability for LyX to govern the placement of the 
graphic, which usually comes out better than manual placement with regard to 
all the text fitting together with minimum blankage.

I usually don't use floats. I like to write As you can see in the following 
illustration, rather than have LyX write As you can see from graphic 3.4 on 
the opposite page. Floats theoretically offer a here no matter what 
facility which should place the graphic and its float exactly where it is in 
the text. Ummm, maybe.

Yeah Alex, you are right. What I wanted to say is that math macros are

BTW, most documents I need to convert have this format, notes to the

Of course I want to see equations, and this feature works fine with

even though equations were rendered as images (in JPG files), they

I can only speculate: eLyXer generates PNG files (using ImageMagick)
when converting SVG or EPS, in order to use them from within HTML
documents. If they correspond to your SVG files then they may have
been generated by eLyXer (and should be used in the HTML document). If
they correspond to your equations then they are the result of some
other HTML converter which exports equations as little pictures.

Force RTL onscreen rendering for paragraph or character style?

[Philiрp Rеichmuth]

Hi,

is there a way to force the onscreen rendering for the text contained in a
given character or paragraphy style to be right-to-left? Ideally some kind
of command within the InsetLayout or Style groups in the layout options?

Background: I use XeTeX to typeset a document in several scripts, including
Arabic. The Arabic-script sections are not in the Arabic language, but in a
variety of other languages. Because my document is left-to-right, they get
displayed on screen in LTR order, which is wrong. I can get them to display
in RTL by setting their language to Arabic (ArabTeX or Arabi). In both
cases, LyX displays them right-to-left, but these options are both
ncompatible with XeTeX because they make other assumptions on how to render
the text in the final output.

Ideally, I wouldn't have to mark them as in a different language at all -
there are no benefits other than the writing direction.  I use logical
markup and custom styles anyway for these passages, so I'd just like to
mark all instances of a given style to display RTL in LyX.  Is that

In case you compiled Qt by yourself and you also have the system Qt installed,
then, most probably, the wrong moc is being picked up by the configure script.
Supposing that you installed Qt in /usr/local/qt, try the following:
$ cd /usr/local/qt/bin
$ ln -s moc moc-qt4
$ ln -s uic uic-qt4
and then try to configure again. If I guessed right, it should now work.

Yes. I had installed qt 4.5.1. Then I compiled the new version.
The new version is recongnized for configure.

silly newby graphics question

[Richard Brown]

This is a sily question, but my only excuse is I'm trying to understand.
Thanks for your patience, understanding and answers!

Up to now I've been inserting my photographs and other graphics in a float.
But what is the float actually  for? Can I just insert the graphics files
directly via the Insert  Graphics command? If I can, what are the
advantages and disadvantages of each system, that is with or without  a
float?

TIA

inserting black and white graphics (musical notation) from TIFF

[Richard Brown]

I have some TIFF files exported from Sibelius, the music scoring program.
They are just high-quality images of black and white music scores. I tried
converting them to jpg in GIMP for inclusion in my Lyx manuscript, but the
results were awful- or at least, they were awful in lyx. When I open the
converted jpg files in other software they are really clear and good, but in
Lyx onscreen they are very poor and in the dvi files even worse. Many of the
fine lines that indicate musical notes are patchy, and a lot have
disappeared. Has anyone got any good ideas as to how to process this?

TIA

Re: silly newby graphics question

[Julio Rojas]

A float leaves to LaTeX the decision of where to put the image. This
is not a trivial decision and in most cases, LaTeX does a better job
than you at balancing text distribution when an image is inserted.
Even if you want to put an image in a particular place, a float allows
you to do it.

JPEG is a lossy image comression format suited for photographic pictures,
not for musical scores (nor text nor line drawings, ...)

If a pixmap is the only option, try PNG instead. If Sibelius allows
export to a vector format (PDF or SVG, say) this will be even better,
because then you can scale the image without loss of quality
(even if it might look bad on-screen).

 Yes, it does have XML-RPC capability. Does LyX have a
 built-in XML-RPC client, or would I have to use a separate one?  I
 would still want the option to do a full preview before pulling the
 trigger on a post.

 You can review a file in the browser. Then accept further processing and
 call some application submitting through XML-RPC.

But then, it would be more sensible to add the submit to

Problème de mise en page sur LYX

[Lolom]

Bonjour,

Je rédige actuellement mon mémoire en utilisant Lyx. Cependant, j'ai
quelques soucis de mise en page.
J'ai choisis la classe de document report qui me semble la plus adaptée
pour un mémoire. Mais la numérotation des sections commence à 0 (j'obtiens
0.1 puis 0.2 ...). Commment faire pour commencer à 1 ? Est-ce possible dans
la classe de document report ?
J'aimerais aussi écrire plus sur une ligne, pour l'instant, j'obtiens du
texte seulement sur 11cm ! Comment faire pour avoir des marges plus petites
à droite et à gauche ? Y a-t-il une classe de document pour cela ?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide,

Hi Uwe,

 Why the explicit --html option? As you know we use this call as default for
 LyX:

 python -m elyxer --directory $$r $$i $$o

 It the --html a new option and what is it for?

The --html option was in fact added to version 0.21; it is used to
export to HTML 4.0 (as opposed to XHTML). The reason is that office
suites (including Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org) can import
HTML, but not XHTML.

 In fact, I don't see why eLyXer should not be the default Word
 exporter.

 We have a special export format names HTML (MS Word) that is created by
 tex4ht:

 htlatex $$i 'html,word' 'symbol/!' '-cvalidate'

 I don't know the difference between html and this special html variant. I
 therefore cannot answer you that question.

It would appear that htlatex also has an option to export some kind of
format better suited to Word. My proposal is to use this format HTML
(MS Word) but with eLyXer as the converter. I think it could work
even better than with htlatex. If you think it's a good idea I can
easily provide a patch.

As far as I know, the situation is the same. I have tried importing

Floats provide a facility for a caption and placement in a table of 
illustrations, as well as the ability for LyX to govern the placement of the 
graphic, which usually comes out better than manual placement with regard to 
all the text fitting together with minimum blankage.

I usually don't use floats. I like to write As you can see in the following 
illustration, rather than have LyX write As you can see from graphic 3.4 on 
the opposite page. Floats theoretically offer a here no matter what 
facility which should place the graphic and its float exactly where it is in 
the text. Ummm, maybe.

Force RTL onscreen rendering for paragraph or character style?

[Philiрp Rеichmuth]

Hi,

is there a way to force the onscreen rendering for the text contained in a
given character or paragraphy style to be right-to-left? Ideally some kind
of command within the InsetLayout or Style groups in the layout options?

Background: I use XeTeX to typeset a document in several scripts, including
Arabic. The Arabic-script sections are not in the Arabic language, but in a
variety of other languages. Because my document is left-to-right, they get
displayed on screen in LTR order, which is wrong. I can get them to display
in RTL by setting their language to Arabic (ArabTeX or Arabi). In both
cases, LyX displays them right-to-left, but these options are both
ncompatible with XeTeX because they make other assumptions on how to render
the text in the final output.

Ideally, I wouldn't have to mark them as in a different language at all -
there are no benefits other than the writing direction.  I use logical
markup and custom styles anyway for these passages, so I'd just like to
mark all instances of a given style to display RTL in LyX.  Is that
possible, or is there some workaround?

In case you compiled Qt by yourself and you also have the system Qt installed,

silly newby graphics question

[Richard Brown]

This is a sily question, but my only excuse is I'm trying to understand.
Thanks for your patience, understanding and answers!

Up to now I've been inserting my photographs and other graphics in a float.
But what is the float actually  for? Can I just insert the graphics files
directly via the Insert > Graphics command? If I can, what are the
advantages and disadvantages of each system, that is with or without  a

inserting black and white graphics (musical notation) from TIFF

[Richard Brown]

I have some TIFF files exported from Sibelius, the music scoring program.
They are just high-quality images of black and white music scores. I tried
converting them to jpg in GIMP for inclusion in my Lyx manuscript, but the
results were awful- or at least, they were awful in lyx. When I open the
converted jpg files in other software they are really clear and good, but in
Lyx onscreen they are very poor and in the dvi files even worse. Many of the
fine lines that indicate musical notes are patchy, and a lot have
disappeared. Has anyone got any good ideas as to how to process this?

TIA

Re: silly newby graphics question

[Julio Rojas]

A float leaves to LaTeX the decision of where to put the image. This
is not a trivial decision and in most cases, LaTeX does a better job
than you at balancing text distribution when an image is inserted.
Even if you want to put an image in a particular place, a float allows
you to do it.

JPEG is a lossy image comression format suited for photographic pictures,
not for musical scores (nor text nor line drawings, ...)

If a pixmap is the only option, try PNG instead. If Sibelius allows
export to a vector format (PDF or SVG, say) this will be even better,
because then you can scale the image without loss of quality
(even if it might look bad on-screen).

The "alternative language" is not for additional languages but for very

The --html option was in fact added to version 0.21; it is used to
export to HTML 4.0 (as opposed to XHTML). The reason is that office
suites (including Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org) can import
HTML, but not XHTML.

It would appear that htlatex also has an option to export some kind of
format better suited to Word. My proposal is to use this format "HTML
(MS Word)" but with eLyXer as the converter. I think it could work
even better than with htlatex. If you think it's a good idea I can
easily provide a patch.

Not at the moment, as it might be confused with the bibliography.

I don't want to give you false hopes: importing into MS Word should
work well with text, but math (formulae and macros) will never be
perfect. Importing equations is hard; Word has its own equation editor
and it will not read LaTeX, HTML with CSS, MathML or anything else you
want to throw at it. So after some thought waiting for math macros to
export to Word is not worthwhile.

If you have any other improvements in mind for eLyXer please let me know.

As far as I know, the situation is the same. I have tried importing
XHTML, HTML and MathML and it works just like Word: XHTML (including
MathML) doesn't work, text is recognized, subtitles are fine, anything
beyond that is botched. I don't know if there is any route other than
HTML to get LyX into OpenOffice.org.

Floats provide a facility for a caption and placement in a table of 
illustrations, as well as the ability for LyX to govern the placement of the 
graphic, which usually comes out better than manual placement with regard to 
all the text fitting together with minimum blankage.

I usually don't use floats. I like to write "As you can see in the following 
illustration", rather than have LyX write "As you can see from graphic 3.4 on 
the opposite page". Floats theoretically offer a "here no matter what" 
facility which should place the graphic and its float exactly where it is in 
the text. "Ummm, maybe."

I am not sure if I understand correctly. So you would prefer equations
not to appear at all in the HTML document, so they are not imported
into office documents? Something like a --nomath option to skip math
equations?

Re: announce: template to write Ph.D. theses with LyX

Of course I want to see equations, and this feature works fine with
standard equations. But some notation I use for my work is defined as
macros. I tried to export one of my papers to HTML with elyxer and
even though equations were rendered as images (in JPG files), they
were not included in the HTML, giving out an error with the macros. I
would really like to see elyxer "understanding" macros. That's all.

But your's is not a bad idea. Maybe a "--nomath" flag that puts
placeholders where equations are supposed to appear would help the

I am sorry, but I am positively sure that you used a different

Report [Koma]-class does not complie after remo ving text…

[jezZiFeR]

Hello,

I use report [Koma], and had a large document, of which I erased lots  
of text to get a short version. Now I can´t compile any longer, and I  
don´t know why. LyX error-message says:


Paragraph ended before \...@ssect was complete.
Too many }'s.

How could I find out, what this means and find the place, where this  
problems results from? I did not change anything, but erase text.

Jess

I'm sorry, I said it from the top of my head. I have a bunch of PNGs
on the same folder as the HTML document. I thought they were going to
be used in the HTML, but it seems from your statement that this is not
the case. So why are this PNGs on this folder? Are they part of the
conversion process?

Obviously you deleted too much. Can you provide a _small_ LyX example file?

I am not sure what a "Parbox" is. Can you be more explicit, or send an

I can only speculate: eLyXer generates PNG files (using ImageMagick)
when converting SVG or EPS, in order to use them from within HTML
documents. If they correspond to your SVG files then they may have
been generated by eLyXer (and should be used in the HTML document). If
they correspond to your equations then they are the result of some
other HTML converter which exports equations as little pictures.

Force RTL onscreen rendering for paragraph or character style?

[Philiрp Rеichmuth]

Hi,

is there a way to force the onscreen rendering for the text contained in a
given character or paragraphy style to be right-to-left? Ideally some kind
of command within the InsetLayout or Style groups in the layout options?

Background: I use XeTeX to typeset a document in several scripts, including
Arabic. The Arabic-script sections are not in the Arabic language, but in a
variety of other languages. Because my document is left-to-right, they get
displayed on screen in LTR order, which is wrong. I can get them to display
in RTL by setting their language to Arabic (ArabTeX or Arabi). In both
cases, LyX displays them right-to-left, but these options are both
ncompatible with XeTeX because they make other assumptions on how to render
the text in the final output.

Ideally, I wouldn't have to mark them as in a different language at all -
there are no benefits other than the writing direction.  I use logical
markup and custom styles anyway for these passages, so I'd just like to
mark all instances of a given style to display RTL in LyX.  Is that
possible, or is there some workaround?

Before compiler error I found only one *moc*.
I run make clean and is deleted.
I run configure and make produces the error again.

1. post the error here.
2. try fresh svn checkout, what happens?

In case you compiled Qt by yourself and you also have the system Qt installed,
then, most probably, the wrong moc is being picked up by the configure script.
Supposing that you installed Qt in /usr/local/qt, try the following:
$ cd /usr/local/qt/bin
$ ln -s moc moc-qt4
$ ln -s uic uic-qt4
and then try to configure again. If I guessed right, it should now work.

Yes. I had installed qt 4.5.1. Then I compiled the new version.
The new version is recongnized for configure.
