Automatically convert external files during PDF creation

[Jurriën Stutterheim]

Hi all,


I'm trying to streamline the inclusion of Haskell code in my documents. 
Currently, I use the lhs2TeX tool to convert my .lhs (Literate Haskell) file to 
.tex, which I can then include in LyX using the regular include mechanism.
Ideally, however, I would just include my .lhs file in LyX and have a converter 
execute the lhs2TeX step for me. It might be useful to note that lhs2TeX can 
both write to a file and output the produced LaTeX code to stdout.
Is this possible?

I added a File Format in the LyX File Formats settings dialog with extension 
lhs and Default Output Format LaTeX (pdflatex). I marked it as Document format.
Next, I added a converter from Literate Haskell to LaTeX (pdflatex). The 
converter command is lhs2TeX $$i -o $$o . This command makes lhs2TeX convert 
the input $$i to LaTeX and write the results to file $$o .
Unfortunately, it doesn't really do anything useful yet. How can I make this 
converter work?


Thanks!

Image resize and center

[M DR]

Hello to all,

First of all, I am a newbie with LyX, so I would thank an easy language in
explanations.

I have a lot of floating figures inserted in my file with captions. They're
in .png format, with 300dpi.
Since many are too big to fit the default page, I was wondering if there was
any package or command to resize them automatically, to fit in within the
95% of the widthpage, for example. I have tried the scale window that
appears by default, but I don´t know if this compresses the figure or make
any lose in quality. Also this tool doesn´t fit the figure in the LyX page,
but at the exit, which makes much more difficult to write the document. I
have researched in the maling list and in forums, but I did´t find a clear
solution, maybe is such a simple problem.

I was also wondering how to centre the captions with the figure. They' re
slightly displaced

I would additionally ask if this type of figures (.png, 300 dpi) will make a
too-heavy final document, since I'll have many figures (actually, it's a
PhD doc).

Thank you very much in advanced,

MaDro

When you insert the image, I think you open LyX Graphics dialog. Below
the file browsing, enable Set Width, enter 95, select Column Width in
the unit selection.

In the paragraph where your figure is located, right click, select
Paragraph Settings, then in the alignment you can change to Center.
Your picture will be centered.

And for the scaling inside the LyX work area, go to LaTeX and LyX Options in 
that dialog, and adjust the value via Scale on Screen.

BTW if you need many graphics with excatly the same settings, you can open a 
new graphics group in that tab. Then you can assign new graphics to that group 
via right-click context menu, and they will automatically inherit the settings 
of the group. In other words: if you alter the settings of one graphic of a 
group, it will apply to the whole group.

 Your picture will be centered.

To center the caption, however, you might need a specific package (depends on 
the document class you use). 

Try if

\usepackage[justification=centering]{caption}

in document  Settings  Preamble is what you want.

Many other related things are described in Help  Embedded Objects.

Re: Automatically convert external files during PDF creation

[Jurriën Stutterheim]

It turns out the external_templates file was hidden away in LyX.app itself. In 
it, it suggests the following:
# Feel free to create your own External Templates, storing them in
# .lyx/external_templates

So I created ~/.lyx/external_templates and added this content:

Template LHS 
GuiName LHS: $$AbsOrRelPathParent$$Basename
HelpText
Including Literate Haskell
HelpTextEnd
InputFormat lhs
FileFilter *.lhs
AutomaticProduction true
Format LHS
Product \\input{$$AbsOrRelPathMaster$$Basename.tex_t}
UpdateFormat lhs
UpdateResult $$AbsPath$$Basename.tex
ReferencedFile lhs $$AbsPath$$Basename.tex
FormatEnd
TemplateEnd

Next, I reconfigured LyX and restarted it. 
Unfortunately, it still doesn't show my template.
Have I misplaced the external_templates file?

Off-topic (sort of) Online PDF annotation tools

[Graham Smith]

Has anyone any experience of tools such http://a.nnotate.com/index.html 
or https://docq.com/


These allow you to upload a PDF to the web, send someone a link, and 
they can then annotate the PDF online from their browser.


It seems a way of getting some level of collaboration/feedback from 
clients/collaborators, without needing to have a copy of Adobe Acrobat 
Professional to enable the comment feature, forcing them to download one 
of the many third party pdf annotation tools, or giving them a converted 
 Word/HTML version of your Lyx document.


They will see something that looks like a finished document.

As, with one exception, everyone I work with expects a Word document to 
comment on, but is still comfortable with the idea of PDFs as final 
documents, this seems a possible solution, to an ongoing problem I have, 
just because I use Lyx.


It wouldn't be that great for full blown co-author work, but for a lot 
of what I do when its really on-going feedback this sounds like a 
possible solution.

 Thanks in advance

 From the file menu select export and then choose whatever you need.

 Specifically, FileExportLaTeX, where there are two choices for that.

Be careful, LyX do not allows you to select the place where that file
should be exported, so if you have pictures or other stuff included,
all preprocessed files will be put into the same directory structure,
so as an effect you will get messy mix of your sources and results.

Solved!

I ended up with the following template:

Template LHS 
GuiName LHS: $$AbsOrRelPathParent$$Basename

HelpTextEnd
InputFormat lhs
FileFilter *.lhs
AutomaticProduction true
Format LaTeX

Format DocBook
Product \\input{$$AbsOrRelPathMaster$$Basename.tex}
UpdateFormat pdflatex
UpdateResult $$AbsPath$$Basename.tex
ReferencedFile lhs $$AbsPath$$Basename.tex

Using a Document file format called LHS, shortname lhs and extension lhs.
I also added a single converter from LHS to LaTeX (pdflatex) with the command 
lhs2TeX $$i -o $$o

P.S.: it has received very limited testing so far, and it works for my

Unfortunately, I do not actually know anything about templates. I'd try 
posting the question to the devel list, where there are some people who 
do. Also, if you can do this, you might try running LyX from a terminal 
and then checking to see if you get any error messages related to the 
template.


Also, you might have a look at the LaTeX source LyX is producing 
(ViewSource), and see if you are at least getting the \input line.

Automatically convert external files during PDF creation

[Jurriën Stutterheim]

Hi all,


I'm trying to streamline the inclusion of Haskell code in my documents. 
Currently, I use the lhs2TeX tool to convert my .lhs (Literate Haskell) file to 
.tex, which I can then include in LyX using the regular include mechanism.
Ideally, however, I would just include my .lhs file in LyX and have a converter 
execute the lhs2TeX step for me. It might be useful to note that lhs2TeX can 
both write to a file and output the produced LaTeX code to stdout.
Is this possible?

I added a File Format in the LyX File Formats settings dialog with extension 
lhs and Default Output Format LaTeX (pdflatex). I marked it as Document format.
Next, I added a converter from Literate Haskell to LaTeX (pdflatex). The 
converter command is lhs2TeX $$i -o $$o . This command makes lhs2TeX convert 
the input $$i to LaTeX and write the results to file $$o .
Unfortunately, it doesn't really do anything useful yet. How can I make this 
converter work?


Thanks!

Image resize and center

[M DR]

Hello to all,

First of all, I am a newbie with LyX, so I would thank an easy language in
explanations.

I have a lot of floating figures inserted in my file with captions. They're
in .png format, with 300dpi.
Since many are too big to fit the default page, I was wondering if there was
any package or command to resize them automatically, to fit in within the
95% of the widthpage, for example. I have tried the scale window that
appears by default, but I don´t know if this compresses the figure or make
any lose in quality. Also this tool doesn´t fit the figure in the LyX page,
but at the exit, which makes much more difficult to write the document. I
have researched in the maling list and in forums, but I did´t find a clear
solution, maybe is such a simple problem.

I was also wondering how to centre the captions with the figure. They' re
slightly displaced

I would additionally ask if this type of figures (.png, 300 dpi) will make a
too-heavy final document, since I'll have many figures (actually, it's a
PhD doc).

Thank you very much in advanced,

MaDro

When you insert the image, I think you open LyX Graphics dialog. Below
the file browsing, enable Set Width, enter 95, select Column Width in
the unit selection.

In the paragraph where your figure is located, right click, select
Paragraph Settings, then in the alignment you can change to Center.
Your picture will be centered.

And for the scaling inside the LyX work area, go to LaTeX and LyX Options in 
that dialog, and adjust the value via Scale on Screen.

BTW if you need many graphics with excatly the same settings, you can open a 
new graphics group in that tab. Then you can assign new graphics to that group 
via right-click context menu, and they will automatically inherit the settings 
of the group. In other words: if you alter the settings of one graphic of a 
group, it will apply to the whole group.

 In the paragraph where your figure is located, right click, select

 Your picture will be centered.

To center the caption, however, you might need a specific package (depends on 
the document class you use). 

Try if

\usepackage[justification=centering]{caption}

in document  Settings  Preamble is what you want.

Many other related things are described in Help  Embedded Objects.

Re: Automatically convert external files during PDF creation

[Jurriën Stutterheim]

It turns out the external_templates file was hidden away in LyX.app itself. In 
it, it suggests the following:
# Feel free to create your own External Templates, storing them in
# .lyx/external_templates

So I created ~/.lyx/external_templates and added this content:

Template LHS 
GuiName LHS: $$AbsOrRelPathParent$$Basename
HelpText
Including Literate Haskell
HelpTextEnd
InputFormat lhs
FileFilter *.lhs
AutomaticProduction true
Format LHS
Product \\input{$$AbsOrRelPathMaster$$Basename.tex_t}
UpdateFormat lhs
UpdateResult $$AbsPath$$Basename.tex
ReferencedFile lhs $$AbsPath$$Basename.tex
FormatEnd
TemplateEnd

Next, I reconfigured LyX and restarted it. 
Unfortunately, it still doesn't show my template.
Have I misplaced the external_templates file?

Off-topic (sort of) Online PDF annotation tools

[Graham Smith]

Has anyone any experience of tools such http://a.nnotate.com/index.html 
or https://docq.com/


These allow you to upload a PDF to the web, send someone a link, and 
they can then annotate the PDF online from their browser.


It seems a way of getting some level of collaboration/feedback from 
clients/collaborators, without needing to have a copy of Adobe Acrobat 
Professional to enable the comment feature, forcing them to download one 
of the many third party pdf annotation tools, or giving them a converted 
 Word/HTML version of your Lyx document.


They will see something that looks like a finished document.

As, with one exception, everyone I work with expects a Word document to 
comment on, but is still comfortable with the idea of PDFs as final 
documents, this seems a possible solution, to an ongoing problem I have, 
just because I use Lyx.


It wouldn't be that great for full blown co-author work, but for a lot 
of what I do when its really on-going feedback this sounds like a 
possible solution.

 Thanks in advance

 From the file menu select export and then choose whatever you need.

 Specifically, FileExportLaTeX, where there are two choices for that.

Be careful, LyX do not allows you to select the place where that file
should be exported, so if you have pictures or other stuff included,
all preprocessed files will be put into the same directory structure,
so as an effect you will get messy mix of your sources and results.

I ended up with the following template:

Using a Document file format called LHS, shortname lhs and extension lhs.
I also added a single converter from LHS to LaTeX (pdflatex) with the command

Unfortunately, I do not actually know anything about templates. I'd try 
posting the question to the devel list, where there are some people who 
do. Also, if you can do this, you might try running LyX from a terminal 
and then checking to see if you get any error messages related to the 
template.


Also, you might have a look at the LaTeX source LyX is producing 
(ViewSource), and see if you are at least getting the \input line.

Automatically convert external files during PDF creation

[Jurriën Stutterheim]

Hi all,


I'm trying to streamline the inclusion of Haskell code in my documents. 
Currently, I use the lhs2TeX tool to convert my .lhs (Literate Haskell) file to 
.tex, which I can then include in LyX using the regular include mechanism.
Ideally, however, I would just include my .lhs file in LyX and have a converter 
execute the lhs2TeX step for me. It might be useful to note that lhs2TeX can 
both write to a file and output the produced LaTeX code to stdout.
Is this possible?

I added a File Format in the LyX File Formats settings dialog with extension 
lhs and Default Output Format LaTeX (pdflatex). I marked it as Document format.
Next, I added a converter from Literate Haskell to LaTeX (pdflatex). The 
converter command is lhs2TeX $$i -o $$o . This command makes lhs2TeX convert 
the input $$i to LaTeX and write the results to file $$o .
Unfortunately, it doesn't really do anything useful yet. How can I make this 
converter work?


Thanks!

Image resize and center

[M DR]

Hello to all,

First of all, I am a newbie with LyX, so I would thank an easy language in
explanations.

I have a lot of floating figures inserted in my file with captions. They're
in .png format, with 300dpi.
Since many are too big to fit the default page, I was wondering if there was
any package or command to resize them automatically, to fit in within the
95% of the widthpage, for example. I have tried the scale window that
appears by default, but I don´t know if this compresses the figure or make
any lose in quality. Also this tool doesn´t fit the figure in the LyX page,
but at the exit, which makes much more difficult to write the document. I
have researched in the maling list and in forums, but I did´t find a clear
solution, maybe is such a simple problem.

I was also wondering how to centre the captions with the figure. They' re
slightly displaced

I would additionally ask if this type of figures (.png, 300 dpi) will make a
"too-heavy" final document, since I'll have many figures (actually, it's a
PhD doc).

Thank you very much in advanced,

MaDro

When you insert the image, I think you open LyX Graphics dialog. Below
the file browsing, enable Set Width, enter 95, select Column Width in
the unit selection.

In the paragraph where your figure is located, right click, select
Paragraph Settings, then in the alignment you can change to Center.
Your picture will be centered.

And for the scaling inside the LyX work area, go to "LaTeX and LyX Options" in 
that dialog, and adjust the value via "Scale on Screen".

BTW if you need many graphics with excatly the same settings, you can open a 
new graphics group in that tab. Then you can assign new graphics to that group 
via right-click context menu, and they will automatically inherit the settings 
of the group. In other words: if you alter the settings of one graphic of a 
group, it will apply to the whole group.

To center the caption, however, you might need a specific package (depends on 
the document class you use). 

Try if

\usepackage[justification=centering]{caption}

Hi all,


I'm trying to streamline the inclusion of Haskell code in my documents. 
Currently, I use the lhs2TeX tool to convert my .lhs (Literate Haskell) file to 
.tex, which I can then include in LyX using the regular include mechanism.
Ideally, however, I would just include my .lhs file in LyX and have a converter 
execute the lhs2TeX step for me. It might be useful to note that lhs2TeX can 
both write to a file and output the produced LaTeX code to stdout.
Is this possible?

I added a File Format in the LyX File Formats settings dialog with extension 
lhs and Default Output Format LaTeX (pdflatex). I marked it as Document format.
Next, I added a converter from Literate Haskell to LaTeX (pdflatex). The 
converter command is lhs2TeX $$i -o $$o . This command makes lhs2TeX convert 
the input $$i to LaTeX and write the results to file $$o .
Unfortunately, it doesn't really do anything useful yet. How can I make this 
converter work?


Thanks!

Re: Automatically convert external files during PDF creation

[Jurriën Stutterheim]

It turns out the external_templates file was hidden away in LyX.app itself. In 
it, it suggests the following:
# Feel free to create your own External Templates, storing them in
# .lyx/external_templates

So I created ~/.lyx/external_templates and added this content:

Template LHS 
GuiName "LHS: $$AbsOrRelPathParent$$Basename"
HelpText
Including Literate Haskell
HelpTextEnd
InputFormat lhs
FileFilter "*.lhs"
AutomaticProduction true
Format LHS
Product "\\input{$$AbsOrRelPathMaster$$Basename.tex_t}"
UpdateFormat lhs
UpdateResult "$$AbsPath$$Basename.tex"
ReferencedFile lhs "$$AbsPath$$Basename.tex"
FormatEnd
TemplateEnd

Next, I reconfigured LyX and restarted it. 
Unfortunately, it still doesn't show my template.
Have I misplaced the external_templates file?

I cannot load 1.6.7-4 due to virus

Hello,

I cannot download Lyx Installer 1.6.7-4 from both ftp and mirror:

http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/bin/1.6.7/LyX-1.6.7-4-Installer.exe

In both cases I am blocked due to virus reported in binary file by my

The location is wrong for Mac. I think it's something like ~/Application

Re: Automatically convert external files during PDF creation

[Jurriën Stutterheim]

Ah, nice! There we go.. it's appearing in the list now.
Strange side-effect: all stock templates are now gone from the list. (not that 
I really care.. I don't use them)
My document still compiles, however, I can't see my Haskell code in the output, 
even when compiling to LaTeX, using pdflatex.
How does it know it should use the settings from the LHS converter I added? See 
screenshots I link below for my current settings. Is my template actually 
correct?

Off-topic (sort of) Online PDF annotation tools

[Graham Smith]

Has anyone any experience of tools such http://a.nnotate.com/index.html 
or https://docq.com/


These allow you to upload a PDF to the web, send someone a link, and 
they can then annotate the PDF online from their browser.


It seems a way of getting some level of collaboration/feedback from 
clients/collaborators, without needing to have a copy of Adobe Acrobat 
Professional to enable the comment feature, forcing them to download one 
of the many third party pdf annotation tools, or giving them a converted 
 Word/HTML version of your Lyx document.


They will see something that looks like a finished document.

As, with one exception, everyone I work with expects a Word document to 
comment on, but is still comfortable with the idea of PDFs as "final" 
documents, this seems a possible solution, to an ongoing problem I have, 
just because I use Lyx.


It wouldn't be that great for full blown co-author work, but for a lot 
of what I do when its really on-going feedback this sounds like a 
possible solution.

Be careful, LyX do not allows you to select the place where that file
should be exported, so if you have pictures or other stuff included,
all preprocessed files will be put into the same directory structure,
so as an effect you will get messy mix of your sources and results.

Re: Automatically convert external files during PDF creation

[Jurriën Stutterheim]

Solved!

I ended up with the following template:

Template LHS 
GuiName "LHS: $$AbsOrRelPathParent$$Basename"
HelpText
Including Literate Haskell
HelpTextEnd
InputFormat lhs
FileFilter "*.lhs"
AutomaticProduction true
Format LaTeX
Product "\\input{$$AbsOrRelPathMaster$$Basename.tex}"
UpdateFormat pdflatex
UpdateResult "$$AbsPath$$Basename.tex"
ReferencedFile lhs "$$AbsPath$$Basename.tex"
FormatEnd
Format PDFLaTeX
Product "\\input{$$AbsOrRelPathMaster$$Basename.tex}"
UpdateFormat pdflatex
UpdateResult "$$AbsPath$$Basename.tex"
ReferencedFile lhs "$$AbsPath$$Basename.tex"
FormatEnd
Format Ascii
Product "\\input{$$AbsOrRelPathMaster$$Basename.tex}"
UpdateFormat pdflatex
UpdateResult "$$AbsPath$$Basename.tex"
ReferencedFile lhs "$$AbsPath$$Basename.tex"
FormatEnd
Format DocBook
Product "\\input{$$AbsOrRelPathMaster$$Basename.tex}"
UpdateFormat pdflatex
UpdateResult "$$AbsPath$$Basename.tex"
ReferencedFile lhs "$$AbsPath$$Basename.tex"
FormatEnd
TemplateEnd

Using a Document file format called LHS, shortname lhs and extension lhs.
I also added a single converter from LHS to LaTeX (pdflatex) with the command 
lhs2TeX $$i -o $$o
LyX devs: please consider adding this template for inclusion in new LyX 
releases :)

Cheers,


Jurriën

P.S.: it has received very limited testing so far, and it works for my 
purposes. The ASCII and DocBook definitions probably don't make a lot of sense 
right now.

You would need to copy the original templates file over and then add yours.

Unfortunately, I do not actually know anything about templates. I'd try 
posting the question to the devel list, where there are some people who 
do. Also, if you can do this, you might try running LyX from a terminal 
and then checking to see if you get any error messages related to the 
template.


Also, you might have a look at the LaTeX source LyX is producing 
(View>Source), and see if you are at least getting the \input line.

I'm wondering if the document didn't get corrupted. This can happen
sometimes (my last such case was about 1.5 years ago). Otherwise you
should give us the exact error message and if possible a small example
that does not compile on your machine, so that we could test.
