 Sorry if I seam, or I am!, a bit pigheaded but, please, why are there 
 boxes where Allow page breaks can be enable and other where it can't?

Because 
* some boxes (e.g. shaded ones) always allow page breaks (and you must
put them in another box to inhibit page breaks), 

* others require special latex code to allow them, and

* (most probably) some boxes never allow page breaks because they only
  exist to keep content on one page.

To see what happens behind the scenes, you can enable the source
view (ViewSource) and play with the settings.

Because these are different types of boxes provided by different 
LaTeX-packages. Some packages have this option, some not.
I nevertheless don't understand your confusion: If this option is enable 
in LyX its exists for the current box type, otherwise not.

Wrap of long strings

[Rainer Dorsch]

Hello,

in some parts of a document I have texts with long words (e.g. directory 
names, etc.), which I want to wrap whenever I reach \textwidth (even in the 
middle of a word). Has anybody a suggestion how to do that efficiently for a 
limited small parts in a document? I would even be happy to just mark the 
word, that it can be broken up at any place

Thanks,

true raw Latex commands in math mode

[Matthias Blaicher]

Hallo,

I am using LyX with Sweave to directly access R in my LyX document.
This all works great but there is a tiny thing bugging me a lot:

There is the sweave LaTeX command \Sexpr{ foo } which allows you to
directly insert the content of foo into the document. Let's say there
is a variable foo_bar then I can access foo_bar by inserting an ERT
\Sexpr{foo_bar}. This works fine in text but NOT in math mode. It
always wants to escape the underscore to \Sexpr{foo_{b}ar} .

So how can I insert true raw ERT commands in math mode or is this
perhaps even not possible?

Thanks for your help!

I don't know that there is any way to use an underscore as part of a variable

In ERT: \def\temp{\Sexpr{foo_bar}}
In math inset:  $blah blah \temp blah blah$

This makes sense, in that _ is always interpreted as subscript in

LyX layout for tRES?

[Nikos Alexandris]

Hi list,

does there exist a LyX layout for the tRES2e.cls [1] (and its respective .sty 
files)? How long, do you (experienced users or devs) think it would take for 
an average LyX user to implement this?

Thank you, Nikos

This seems to be article-based, so the simple procedure described in 
Customization chapter 5 will probably get you half way there. That said, 
you probably want to add a DefaultModule line that will load 
theorems-ams, since the example tex file uses theorems. Otherwise, all 
the sty files are standard LaTeX styles which they provide for convenience.

It is (if I am not wrong) article-based. I've scanned the Customisation 
chapter 5 and the question I have to answer to myself is whether I could

About the layout you posted: a title, two Section(s) with some standard text 
gives the following error:

Does this relate to... well, the theorems-ams module?

I thought it would be for theorems, etc, but perhaps it is not required: 
Maybe the style already defines some of these environments.

LyX is adding these, then. Try something like:

That tells LyX it doesn't need to load these. Which precisely you need

No, you can still start with article, since tRES2e defines mostly 
article-like environments. The semantics doesn't matter so much as the 
syntax.

Status of internationalization of amsthm environs. in LyX

[Rudi Gaelzer]

What's the status of the internationalization effort on the theorem 
environments 
defined by the amsthm package?
I've found the following bug which seems to be still open:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/1476?id=1476

So, what should I do if I want the captions of the theorem environs. translated 
to Portuguese in LyX?

I've also found the following reply:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg73431.html
where the inc and module files were translated to Spanish.
Should I start from there and translate the same to Portuguese?

Thanks in advance.

Some comments:

I have an article based on koma-script with various nice tricks included (like 
in-line enumeration, scaled sub-tables, sub-figures and more...). I've changed 
over to tRES layout and, as expected, it gives many errors.

I started from the scratch with the content (Title, Section(s), Paragraphs and 
standard text) and still I had to revert to the default most of the settings 
to get it compile:

  - no other spacing besides Single works
  - Page Margins when set to custom 2, 2, 2, 2 are a mess. Default works ok.
  - I have trouble to get away the _ugly_ Headings. All of the styles (even 
the default) give something problematic: the (.lyx) filename is printed on the 
very top line and about 3/4 of the page-width the line breaks and continues in 
the next with very bold underscore characters (I use them a lot when I name 
files).

When ever I have more free-time I'll try to test more. If this works out it 
could be an addition in LyX-wiki (given there are no legal issues?).

Thanks again, Nikos

Spurious '}'

[Tim Cook]

Hi All,

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS AMD_64

LyX version - 1.6.5

I have a document at:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mlhim-specs-dev/mlhim-specs/main/annotate/head:/specs/1.0.x/mlhim/mlhim-ref-man-1.0.0-enUS.lyx

That generates an error when exporting to PDF (pdflatex  ps2pdf):

First line of error:
Argument of \...@sect has an extra }.

The Description is:

\subsubsection

{DV\_QUANTITY Class \label{sub:DV_QUANTITY-Class}}

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.

For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce

this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that

I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway

argument that might be the root of the problem. But if

your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

Besides not being able to find the offending }.

1) What is usually the cause of this?  I  do a lot of copy/cut - paste.
2) Exactly where and when am I supposed to type a '2' to make this go
away? The description seems to make sense however I am still missing
something here.

Thanks,
Tim

Save Date vs. Print Date

Under the 'Article' document type, the title page will list the print

But I vastly prefer to insert my own date, or to list the save date of

in Lyx-Code quote, double quote, and back-tic not as expected.

Am I really expecting the wrong behavior here?

Open a new LyX document (and for complete disclosure set the fonts to Palatino, 
Helvetica, Courier)
type Test and set it to type Section  ##not strictly necessary but this is 
the way I did it.
Set the type of text to LyX-Code
##paste in:
for i in `seq 1 10|awk '{print $1}'`; \
do \
  echo Counter $i; \
done

## click the view pdf button
in the PDF select the whole for loop (for to done) and paste it into a terminal.
find out that
s are ?Smart? double quotes.
's are ?Smart? quotes.
` are I have no idea.
i is i`, I assume this is due to a ligature(is that the correct word?).


As annoying as that is, I did find in the interface that I am allowed to type:
Ctrl+ to get real ASCII double quotes.
Ctrl+' to get real ASCII quotes.
no way to get a real `.
no way to get a real i.

Does anyone know how to get real back-tics (`) and i?


When I was working under Fedora Core 4 (and before) with IIRC LyX 1.4.?? I did 
not have these issues
with any text type, i.e., it did not matter where I was in any portion of the 
PDF output I could
copy and paste and get ASCII out.  It seemed to me that
Does anyone know which of the following product line upgrades would have 
changed the behavior: LyX |
LaTeX | PDFLaTeX | tetex | evince ?

I have seen OCR'ed PDFs that have ASCII text below the picture of the document, 
is there a way to
get the LyX stack to make those kind of PDFs, i.e., have a typeset version the 
gets shown  printed,
but a text version that gets copy and pasted?


Issue 2:
It is also troubling when I export to plain text and find the above ?Smart? 
transformations have
taken place in the text output.
Is there a a way to get a true export to ASCII text?

Please send the next time a _small_ LyX example file.

The bug occurs because you sometimes set the tables as being part of the paragraph headings. 
Sometimes you also set the tables as description - which could cause problems and is senseless. To 
fix this, set the cursor in front of the tables and select the standard environment.

Attached is an excerpt of your document where I fixed this accordingly.

Because these are different types of boxes provided by different

I nevertheless don't understand your confusion: If this option is enable

Wrap of long strings

[Rainer Dorsch]

Hello,

in some parts of a document I have texts with long words (e.g. directory 
names, etc.), which I want to wrap whenever I reach \textwidth (even in the 
middle of a word). Has anybody a suggestion how to do that efficiently for a 
limited small parts in a document? I would even be happy to just mark the 
word, that it can be broken up at any place

Thanks,
Rainer

true raw Latex commands in math mode

[Matthias Blaicher]

Hallo,

I am using LyX with Sweave to directly access R in my LyX document.
This all works great but there is a tiny thing bugging me a lot:

There is the sweave LaTeX command \Sexpr{ foo } which allows you to
directly insert the content of foo into the document. Let's say there
is a variable foo_bar then I can access foo_bar by inserting an ERT
\Sexpr{foo_bar}. This works fine in text but NOT in math mode. It
always wants to escape the underscore to \Sexpr{foo_{b}ar} .

So how can I insert true raw ERT commands in math mode or is this
perhaps even not possible?

Thanks for your help!

I don't know that there is any way to use an underscore as part of a variable

In ERT: \def\temp{\Sexpr{foo_bar}}
In math inset:  $blah blah \temp blah blah$

This makes sense, in that _ is always interpreted as subscript in

LyX layout for tRES?

[Nikos Alexandris]

Hi list,

does there exist a LyX layout for the tRES2e.cls [1] (and its respective .sty 
files)? How long, do you (experienced users or devs) think it would take for 
an average LyX user to implement this?

Thank you, Nikos

This seems to be article-based, so the simple procedure described in 
Customization chapter 5 will probably get you half way there. That said, 
you probably want to add a DefaultModule line that will load 
theorems-ams, since the example tex file uses theorems. Otherwise, all 
the sty files are standard LaTeX styles which they provide for convenience.


See how the attached works.

It is (if I am not wrong) article-based. I've scanned the Customisation 
chapter 5 and the question I have to answer to myself is whether I could

About the layout you posted: a title, two Section(s) with some standard text

Does this relate to... well, the theorems-ams module?

I thought it would be for theorems, etc, but perhaps it is not required:

That tells LyX it doesn't need to load these. Which precisely you need

No, you can still start with article, since tRES2e defines mostly

syntax.

Status of internationalization of amsthm environs. in LyX

[Rudi Gaelzer]

What's the status of the internationalization effort on the theorem 
environments 
defined by the amsthm package?
I've found the following bug which seems to be still open:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/1476?id=1476

So, what should I do if I want the captions of the theorem environs. translated 
to Portuguese in LyX?

I've also found the following reply:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg73431.html
where the inc and module files were translated to Spanish.
Should I start from there and translate the same to Portuguese?

Thanks in advance.

Some comments:

I have an article based on koma-script with various nice tricks included (like 
in-line enumeration, scaled sub-tables, sub-figures and more...). I've changed 
over to tRES layout and, as expected, it gives many errors.

I started from the scratch with the content (Title, Section(s), Paragraphs and 
standard text) and still I had to revert to the default most of the settings 
to get it compile:

  - no other spacing besides Single works
  - Page Margins when set to custom 2, 2, 2, 2 are a mess. Default works ok.
  - I have trouble to get away the _ugly_ Headings. All of the styles (even 
the default) give something problematic: the (.lyx) filename is printed on the 
very top line and about 3/4 of the page-width the line breaks and continues in 
the next with very bold underscore characters (I use them a lot when I name 
files).

When ever I have more free-time I'll try to test more. If this works out it 
could be an addition in LyX-wiki (given there are no legal issues?).

Thanks again, Nikos

Spurious '}'

[Tim Cook]

Hi All,

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS AMD_64

LyX version - 1.6.5

I have a document at:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mlhim-specs-dev/mlhim-specs/main/annotate/head:/specs/1.0.x/mlhim/mlhim-ref-man-1.0.0-enUS.lyx

That generates an error when exporting to PDF (pdflatex  ps2pdf):

First line of error:
Argument of \...@sect has an extra }.

The Description is:

\subsubsection

{DV\_QUANTITY Class \label{sub:DV_QUANTITY-Class}}

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.

For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce

this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that

I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway

argument that might be the root of the problem. But if

your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

Besides not being able to find the offending }.

1) What is usually the cause of this?  I  do a lot of copy/cut - paste.
2) Exactly where and when am I supposed to type a '2' to make this go
away? The description seems to make sense however I am still missing
something here.

Thanks,
Tim

in Lyx-Code quote, double quote, and back-tic not as expected.

Am I really expecting the wrong behavior here?

Open a new LyX document (and for complete disclosure set the fonts to Palatino, 
Helvetica, Courier)
type Test and set it to type Section  ##not strictly necessary but this is 
the way I did it.
Set the type of text to LyX-Code
##paste in:
for i in `seq 1 10|awk '{print $1}'`; \
do \
  echo Counter $i; \
done

## click the view pdf button
in the PDF select the whole for loop (for to done) and paste it into a terminal.
find out that
s are ?Smart? double quotes.
's are ?Smart? quotes.
` are I have no idea.
i is i`, I assume this is due to a ligature(is that the correct word?).


As annoying as that is, I did find in the interface that I am allowed to type:
Ctrl+ to get real ASCII double quotes.
Ctrl+' to get real ASCII quotes.
no way to get a real `.
no way to get a real i.

Does anyone know how to get real back-tics (`) and i?


When I was working under Fedora Core 4 (and before) with IIRC LyX 1.4.?? I did 
not have these issues
with any text type, i.e., it did not matter where I was in any portion of the 
PDF output I could
copy and paste and get ASCII out.  It seemed to me that
Does anyone know which of the following product line upgrades would have 
changed the behavior: LyX |
LaTeX | PDFLaTeX | tetex | evince ?

I have seen OCR'ed PDFs that have ASCII text below the picture of the document, 
is there a way to
get the LyX stack to make those kind of PDFs, i.e., have a typeset version the 
gets shown  printed,
but a text version that gets copy and pasted?


Issue 2:
It is also troubling when I export to plain text and find the above ?Smart? 
transformations have
taken place in the text output.
Is there a a way to get a true export to ASCII text?

Please send the next time a _small_ LyX example file.

The bug occurs because you sometimes set the tables as being part of the paragraph headings. 
Sometimes you also set the tables as description - which could cause problems and is senseless. To 
fix this, set the cursor in front of the tables and select the standard environment.

Attached is an excerpt of your document where I fixed this accordingly.

Because 
* some boxes (e.g. shaded ones) always allow page breaks (and you must
put them in another box to inhibit page breaks), 

* others require special latex code to allow them, and

* (most probably) some boxes never allow page breaks because they only
  exist to keep content on one page.

To see what happens "behind the scenes", you can enable the source
view (View>Source) and play with the settings.

Thanks, worked well for me.

For some reason \SVNRevision produces an empty string with texlive 
2007.dfsg.2-1~lenny2 in Debian 5.0, but works as expected in the upcoming 
Debian 6.0 testing release.

Wrap of long strings

[Rainer Dorsch]

Hello,

in some parts of a document I have texts with long words (e.g. directory 
names, etc.), which I want to wrap whenever I reach \textwidth (even in the 
middle of a word). Has anybody a suggestion how to do that efficiently for a 
limited small parts in a document? I would even be happy to just mark the 
word, that it can be broken up at any place

Thanks,
Rainer

true raw Latex commands in math mode

[Matthias Blaicher]

Hallo,

I am using LyX with Sweave to directly access R in my LyX document.
This all works great but there is a tiny thing bugging me a lot:

There is the sweave LaTeX command \Sexpr{ foo } which allows you to
directly insert the content of foo into the document. Let's say there
is a variable foo_bar then I can access foo_bar by inserting an ERT
\Sexpr{foo_bar}. This works fine in text but NOT in math mode. It
always wants to escape the underscore to \Sexpr{foo_{b}ar} .

So how can I insert true raw ERT commands in math mode or is this
perhaps even not possible?

Thanks for your help!

Matthias

I don't know that there is any way to use an underscore as part of a variable
name and have it survive math mode.  Here's a workaround:

In ERT: \def\temp{\Sexpr{foo_bar}}
In math inset:  $blah blah \temp blah blah$

This makes sense, in that _ is always interpreted as subscript in 
mathmode. Does it work if you do: \Sexpr{foo\_bar}?

Silly me. The problem is the quotes in the module description:

The insert hyperlink function has a setting for filenames, if that's any use.

LyX layout for tRES?

[Nikos Alexandris]

Hi list,

does there exist a LyX layout for the tRES2e.cls [1] (and its respective .sty 
files)? How long, do you (experienced users or devs) think it would take for 
an average LyX user to implement this?

Thank you, Nikos

This seems to be article-based, so the simple procedure described in 
Customization chapter 5 will probably get you half way there. That said, 
you probably want to add a DefaultModule line that will load 
theorems-ams, since the example tex file uses theorems. Otherwise, all 
the sty files are standard LaTeX styles which they provide for convenience.


See how the attached works.

Thank you Richard.

It is (if I am not wrong) article-based. I've scanned the "Customisation 
chapter 5" and the question I have to answer to myself is whether I could 
invest a few hours on it and get it done or whether I am fool to assume that I 
will implement this within less than 1-2 days (in the latter case I have to 
drop this task for now).

(
Needless to say that, first, I have/want to understand why "theroems-ams" is 
required.
)

About the layout you posted: a title, two Section(s) with some standard text 
gives the following error:

"LaTeX Error: Command \proof already defined."

Does this relate to... well, the "theorems-ams" module?

I thought it would be for theorems, etc, but perhaps it is not required: 
Maybe the style already defines some of these environments.

Already did so and get the same error. After looking in "tRES2e.cls" I see no 
line that contains the string "Load" and all "article" strings are actually 
"articletype". I hope that the document does really work upon an existing 
class... (hmm?)

I guess so after seeing (below) the "ams..." stuff, right?

--%<--- head of complete source --%<---
\documentclass[english]{tRES2e}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}

LyX is adding these, then. Try something like:
Provides amsthm 1
Provides amsmath 1
That tells LyX it doesn't need to load these. Which precisely you need 
LyX not to load will depend upon what tRES2e loads itself.

No, you can still start with article, since tRES2e defines mostly 
article-like environments. The semantics doesn't matter so much as the 
syntax.

Status of internationalization of amsthm environs. in LyX

[Rudi Gaelzer]

What's the status of the internationalization effort on the theorem 
environments 
defined by the amsthm package?
I've found the following bug which seems to be still open:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/1476?id=1476

So, what should I do if I want the captions of the theorem environs. translated 
to Portuguese in LyX?

I've also found the following reply:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg73431.html
where the inc and module files were translated to Spanish.
Should I start from there and translate the same to Portuguese?

Thanks in advance.

Crazy... it compiles :D

(tres2e.layout and the a .lyx test-files attached -- as usual, the respective 
.cls and .sty files have to be made available to LaTeX)

Check speller in LyX 2.0 alpha3

[Francisco J . Ruiz-Ruano Campaña]

I have installed LyX 2.0 alpha3 in Ubuntu, but I check speller is
deactivated since I have installed it.

I have installed aspell, ispell and hunspell in spanish, but it doesn't work.

Some ideas?

Some comments:

I have an article based on koma-script with various nice tricks included (like 
in-line enumeration, scaled sub-tables, sub-figures and more...). I've changed 
over to tRES layout and, as expected, it gives many errors.

I started from the scratch with the content (Title, Section(s), Paragraphs and 
standard text) and still I had to revert to the default most of the settings 
to get it compile:

  - no other spacing besides "Single" works
  - Page Margins when set to custom 2, 2, 2, 2 are a mess. Default works ok.
  - I have trouble to get away the _ugly_ Headings. All of the styles (even 
the default) give something problematic: the (.lyx) filename is printed on the 
very top line and about 3/4 of the page-width the line breaks and continues in 
the next with very bold underscore characters (I use them a lot when I name 
files).

When ever I have more free-time I'll try to test more. If this works out it 
could be an addition in LyX-wiki (given there are no legal issues?).

Thanks again, Nikos

Spurious '}'

[Tim Cook]

Hi All,

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS AMD_64

LyX version - 1.6.5

I have a document at:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mlhim-specs-dev/mlhim-specs/main/annotate/head:/specs/1.0.x/mlhim/mlhim-ref-man-1.0.0-enUS.lyx

That generates an error when exporting to PDF (pdflatex & ps2pdf):

First line of error:
Argument of \...@sect has an extra }.

The Description is:

\subsubsection

{DV\_QUANTITY Class \label{sub:DV_QUANTITY-Class}}

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.

For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce

this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that

I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway

argument that might be the root of the problem. But if

your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

Besides not being able to find the offending }.

1) What is usually the cause of this?  I  do a lot of copy/cut - paste.
2) Exactly where and when am I supposed to type a '2' to make this go
away? The description seems to make sense however I am still missing
something here.

Thanks,
Tim

Save Date vs. Print Date

[Tim Wescott]

Under the 'Article' document type, the title page will list the print 
date of a document.


But I vastly prefer to insert my own date, or to list the save date of 
the file -- it just makes more sense for tracking changes.


Is there a way to get LyX to do this? I didn't see it in the menus.

in Lyx-Code quote, double quote, and back-tic not as expected.

[Todd Denniston]

Version LyX 1.6.5 (from EPEL repository) on CentOS 5.5


Issue 1:
Am I really expecting the wrong behavior here?

Open a new LyX document (and for complete disclosure set the fonts to Palatino, 
Helvetica, Courier)
type "Test" and set it to type Section  ##not strictly necessary but this is 
the way I did it.
Set the type of text to LyX-Code
##paste in:
for i in `seq 1 10|awk '{print $1}'`; \
do \
  echo "Counter $i"; \
done

## click the view pdf button
in the PDF select the whole for loop (for to done) and paste it into a terminal.
find out that
"s are ?Smart? double quotes.
's are ?Smart? quotes.
` are I have no idea.
i is i`, I assume this is due to a ligature(is that the correct word?).


As annoying as that is, I did find in the interface that I am allowed to type:
Ctrl+" to get real ASCII double quotes.
Ctrl+' to get real ASCII quotes.
no way to get a real `.
no way to get a real i.

Does anyone know how to get real back-tics (`) and i?


When I was working under Fedora Core 4 (and before) with IIRC LyX 1.4.?? I did 
not have these issues
with any text type, i.e., it did not matter where I was in any portion of the 
PDF output I could
copy and paste and get ASCII out.  It seemed to me that
Does anyone know which of the following product line upgrades would have 
changed the behavior: LyX |
LaTeX | PDFLaTeX | tetex | evince ?

I have seen OCR'ed PDFs that have ASCII text below the picture of the document, 
is there a way to
get the LyX stack to make those kind of PDFs, i.e., have a typeset version the 
gets shown & printed,
but a text version that gets copy and pasted?


Issue 2:
It is also troubling when I export to "plain text" and find the above ?Smart? 
transformations have
taken place in the text output.
Is there a a way to get a true export to "ASCII text"?

Please send the next time a _small_ LyX example file.

The bug occurs because you sometimes set the tables as being part of the paragraph headings. 
Sometimes you also set the tables as description - which could cause problems and is senseless. To 
fix this, set the cursor in front of the tables and select the standard environment.

Attached is an excerpt of your document where I fixed this accordingly.
