Re: Is there a way to retain hyperlinks in pasted text?

 Let's say I copy a block of text on a web page and paste it into a lyx
 document. Some of the words in this block of text include hyperlinks to
 other URLs (web pages, pdf files, etc.). But when I paste the text block
 into lyx, the hyperlinks are gone and just the text gets pasted.

 Is there a way to paste the text into lyx so that the hyperlinks are retained
 in the lyx document?  Or, alternatively, do I need to recreate the
 hyperlinks manually (which would be a pain)?

 The users' guide doesn't mention a way to retain the hyperlinks, so I thought
 I'd check here to see if anyone has a way to accomplish this that's better

Import/export errors

[Michelle Bottorff]

Hi, new user here. I really liked what it sounded like Lyx was supposed to do, 
so I installed Tex (which I had never used before) just so I could try it out.

I'm using Lyx 1.6.8 on Mac OS 10.6.5 and an installation of Tex Live 2010

When I try import any rtf files I get an error message that says:

An error occurred whilst running rtf2latex2e 'NAMEOFFILE.rtf'

When I try save as rtf I get:
An error occurred whilst running latex2rtf '_NAMEOFFILE.tex'

I tried importing html files and I got:

An error occurred whilst running java -jar htmltolatex.jar -input
'NAMEOFFILE.html' -

I created an html file from a lyx document, so the html export does seem to be 
working, but when I tried to import those files -- I get the same error as I do 
from my own html files.  

If someone could help me figure out how to get my files imported, I'd be very 
grateful.

My main suggestion, if you are able, would be to run LyX from a 
terminal, as you will then get much more detailed error messages. It is 
possible that there is some configuration problem with these programs, 
but I am not on Mac and so cannot say for sure.


I'm not sure why you are converting to and from rtf, but if you just 
want to import some old documents of your own, you might also try 
running rtf2latex2e from a terminal and see how that goes.

How to manage colours on screen?

One can find several exampels on howto make boxes with coulor and frames

Bg color seems to work only for insets. One way to deal with would
possible be to make several instanses of shaded box and then include
them by expanding the ui files.

This seems a bit clumsy and there is a problem inside this to. If one
change the shading color it only effect the output not the screen. This
is true also for ver 2.0 where you can change the shading in the user

Re: Import/export errors

Michelle,

open the RTF in OpenOffice (or NeoOffice on the Mac :-)-O) into
which you have installed the Writer2LateX extension. Then you
export it to Latex, paying attention to the screen that comes up
by way of using the Ultra-Clean export.

Then you run tex2lyx and have a look for evil red text, which you
then replace in the TeX file and run tex2lyx again (with the -f
option).

For each chapter of my wife's Honors thesis the cycle took about 15
minutes, even with a few iteration, and it worked very well.

which you have installed the Writer2LateX extension. Then you
export it to Latex, paying attention to the screen that comes up

then replace in the TeX file and run tex2lyx again (with the -f
option).

For each chapter of my wife's Honors thesis the cycle took about 15
minutes, even with a few iteration, and it worked very well.
