Yes. In this case, the problem is on the package's side. TotCount does not use 
proper \PackageWarning to inform about necessary reruns, so the message does 
not reach LyX.

Try the attached modified version, which does use \PackageWarning instead of

KOMA-Script2 Letter: EndLetter Environment

2011-01-23 Thread Rich Shepard


  I see that the EndLetter environment was added by Juergen a couple of
years ago, but I'm not sure when it needs to be used. The reason I ask is
that I'm sending a client a letter proposal and I want to attach two other
.lyx files after the signature/close of the main letter. Yes, I can probably
add them as separate pdf pages using pdftk, but I'd like to have it all as a
single file within LyX if possible.

  If there is a way to add attachments to a KOMA-Script2 letter, please
point me to the documentation on how to do this.

Thanks in advance,

Re: how to update aux file in LyX?

2011-01-23 Thread Gwen Barnes


 I've had a quick look at revnum.sty, and it does not seem to issue any
 rerun
 message; so it's hard for LyX to determine whether a rerun is requested.

 Did you check out the etaremune package already?
 http://ctan.larsko.net/macros/latex/contrib/etaremune/etaremune.sty

 This seems to provide the same functionality, but seem to be better written
 in
 general. According to the sources, a rerun request is issued if necessary,
 so
 LyX should update the aux file with this package.


I hadn't seen etaremune, but it looks just fine, definitely better if it
will work with lyx.  I have tried to incorporate it in lyx.  LyX output
gives me a pdf with the numbers increasing, like normal enumerate, and like
I get if I only run pdflatex once on the tex file.  When I run pdflatex from
the command line twice I correctly get the reversed numbers.

This looks like the relevant line from the latex log file, telling latex it
needs to rerun:

LaTeX Warning: Etaremune labels have changed.
   Rerun to get them right.

My module file looks like this:

#\DeclareLyXModule[etaremune.sty]{Etaremune}
#DescriptionBegin
#This package implements the etaremune environment which is similar
#to the enumerate environment, except that labels are decreasing
#instead of increasing. This package provides an alternative to the
#revnum package which uses a lot of counters. The style of lists
#can be controlled locally and globally. See for more information
#the pdf documentation of this package.
#DescriptionEnd

Re: how to update aux file in LyX?

2011-01-23 Thread Gwen Barnes


 I've had a quick look at revnum.sty, and it does not seem to issue any
 rerun
 message; so it's hard for LyX to determine whether a rerun is requested.

 Did you check out the etaremune package already?
 http://ctan.larsko.net/macros/latex/contrib/etaremune/etaremune.sty

 This seems to provide the same functionality, but seem to be better written
 in
 general. According to the sources, a rerun request is issued if necessary,
 so
 LyX should update the aux file with this package.


I hadn't seen etaremune, but it looks just fine, definitely better if it
will work with lyx.  I have tried to incorporate it in lyx.  LyX output
gives me a pdf with the numbers increasing, like normal enumerate, and like
I get if I only run pdflatex once on the tex file.  When I run pdflatex from
the command line twice I correctly get the reversed numbers.

This looks like the relevant line from the latex log file, telling latex it
needs to rerun:

LaTeX Warning: Etaremune labels have changed.
   Rerun to get them right.

My module file looks like this:

#\DeclareLyXModule[etaremune.sty]{Etaremune}
#DescriptionBegin
#This package implements the etaremune environment which is similar
#to the enumerate environment, except that labels are decreasing
#instead of increasing. This package provides an alternative to the

#the pdf documentation of this package.

Yes. In this case, the problem is on the package's side. TotCount does not use 
proper \PackageWarning to inform about necessary reruns, so the message does 
not reach LyX.

Try the attached modified version, which does use \PackageWarning instead of 
\message. If it works, please inform the package author and ask him to fix the 
issue.

Very nice, thanks! Now LyX automatically detects the need for a second

If you rely on revnum, I guess you will have to ask its author to implement

This would not help very much I think. Some packages need extra bibtex runs, 
extra makeindex runs and more than one extra latex run. We do the best that we 
can, but the two packages in question here do not. And it's really not hard to 
fix it at the right end, i.e. in the packages.

Summation

Hello, I have a little bit of a problem.  I can easily insert a summation
sign; however, how do I insert the upper and lower limits (above and below)
the summation symbol?  I found the "frame" area, but it seems I can only
insert either the top, or the bottom; not both?
thanks

Generating e-Book formats from XHTML is far better supported than from
PDF or LaTeX. Actually, ePub is just "wrapped and zipped XHTML" which
can be generated with a script from the XHTML + graphics files.

KOMA-Script2 Letter: EndLetter Environment

2011-01-23 Thread Rich Shepard


  I see that the EndLetter environment was added by Juergen a couple of
years ago, but I'm not sure when it needs to be used. The reason I ask is
that I'm sending a client a letter proposal and I want to attach two other
.lyx files after the signature/close of the main letter. Yes, I can probably
add them as separate pdf pages using pdftk, but I'd like to have it all as a
single file within LyX if possible.

  If there is a way to add attachments to a KOMA-Script2 letter, please
point me to the documentation on how to do this.

Thanks in advance,
