Re: configure lyx and layouts with texlive

 have set the path in lyx to /usr/share/texlive/ Then reconfigured, and  
 rescanned the tex information several times.

Did you also check, whether they are found by LaTeX (e.g. running a
minimal latex document by hand or with kpseawich the package?


   lyx shows the latex classes  
 and styles I need in the tex information.  It does not however show the  
 layouts that I have them for.

Does this mean the layout files shipped with lyx or additional ones
(downloaded from the wiki or home-made)?

Where are your layout files stored?

With most Unix-based systems, private layouts and modules should be in
~/.lyx/layouts (HelpAbout shows the LYXDIR).

 Such as chess still shows up as unavailable.  I don't need chess, I
 need other ones such as apae6. I have about 100 latex classes that I
 would like to use, but are unavailable in lyx.

LyX only supports a (compared to CTAN) small subset of popular LaTeX
classes and packages.

Rule of thumb: 

* if it is grey in the class selection drop-down box, the latex class is
  missing (or not found).

* if it does not turn up in the menus, the LyX layout (or module) is
  missing (or not found).

  I have used the wiki to add apae6.layout. It works but others do not.
 This is cumbersome, and several latex classes to do not report the
 origin of their .cls file (ie article or book and such) and so when I
 manually add the .layout file to lyx, lyx cannot understand it. Can I
 automate the process of adding the latex classes to lyx and having
 .layout files created or at least having them made available?

Writing a script for generating LyX layouts (or layout templates)
might be a task worth considering. I don't know of an existing
solution, though.

This converts the quotes when input from the keyboard.

Re: Table cell widths are wrong and cannot be changed from LyX 1.6.10 to 2.0.0

2011-06-24 Thread Daisuke Koya
You've helped me before Richard, so thank you again.

Since my first posting, I've found out what the culprit was which was causing 
funny things in my table floats.

This seems to do with inserting the 

\usepackage{pdfsync}

LaTeX code in the preamble. When I removed the above code, the funny 
stretching of my tables stopped, although this means I cannot perform reverse 
searching any more.

For now, I will do without reverse-searching capabilities in exchange for 
correctly-rendered tables.

Importing LaTeX file fails

2011-06-24 Thread Trevor Jenkins
I grabbed a copy of a tutorial on the use of Constraint Grammars from here
http://kevindonnelly.org.uk/2010/05/constraint-grammar-tutorial/ The author
provides a LaTeX file that latex processes correctly (other than that my
system doesn't have a specific font installed). When I import this file into
LyX it screws up after a Verbatim usage; there's an earlier one that LyX
processes correctly but the second (longer one) is really screwed.

What is it that LyX is getting wrong?

How does LyX compile to PDF?

2011-06-24 Thread Steve Litt
Hi all,

The following shellscript compiles my PDF:

=
#!/bin/bash

rm -f junk.*
cp -p larry.lyx junk.lyx
lyx --export latex junk.lyx
latex junk.tex
makeindex -c -q junk.idx
latex junk.tex
dvips  junk.dvi
ps2pdf13 junk.ps
acroread junk.pdf
=

The preceding fails to produce a table of contents item for the book's 
index, yet when I compile to PDF within the LyX environment, the index 
appears in the table of contents.

The latex files produced are slightly different, but even if I replace 
the script compiled latex file with the one internally compiled (from 
the tmp directory), the symptom still appears.

And, before I put in a special line of text and \clearpage, the script 
compiled version had page numbers not matched to the PDF reader's 
opinion of the page number, whereas the environment compiled version 
had the page numbers on the pdf match those of the pdf reader.

I need to find out what the internal compile is doing that my script 
is not or vice versa.

The following are the definition of the converters in the LyX 
configuration:

DVI-Postscript:  dvips -o $$o $$i

LaTeX (Plain)-DVI: latex

DVI-Postscript: dvips -o $$o $$i

Postscript-PDF (ps2pdf): ps2pdf13 $$i $$o

What the heck is accounting for the discrepancy in these two 
techniques?

Thanks

PSTricks features the big drawback that it is incompatible with

either PostScript or XeTeX to compile PSTricks code.

Re: no classes available after installation of 1.6.10 and 2.0.0-3

2011-06-24 Thread Paul Rubin
When you successfully run latex at a command prompt, you are doing so with the
limited rights account, correct?

Am I correct in assuming that if you log in with the local admin account, LyX
works correctly for you?

One thing you might try is to delete the local LyX directory for the limited
rights user, then restart LyX (as the limited rights user) and let it try to
rebuild that directory.  I think the directory is usually stored at C:\Documents
and Settings\limited rights user id\Application Data\lyx.  (Unfortunately I
don't have access to a Win XP machine anymore.)  Just delete the entire
directory.  I you have modified any bind or layout files, you might want to back
those up first, but if this is an out-of-the-box LyX installation there is
nothing there you need to worry about.

 them.  The latex styles and classes are in my  
 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/ folder. I have texhash several times. I  
 have set the path in lyx to /usr/share/texlive/ Then reconfigured, and  
 rescanned the tex information several times.

Did you also check, whether they are found by LaTeX (e.g. running a
minimal latex document by hand or with kpseawich the package?


   lyx shows the latex classes  
 and styles I need in the tex information.  It does not however show the  
 layouts that I have them for.

Does this mean the layout files shipped with lyx or additional ones
(downloaded from the wiki or home-made)?

Where are your layout files stored?

With most Unix-based systems, private layouts and modules should be in
~/.lyx/layouts (HelpAbout shows the LYXDIR).

 Such as chess still shows up as unavailable.  I don't need chess, I
 need other ones such as apae6. I have about 100 latex classes that I
 would like to use, but are unavailable in lyx.

LyX only supports a (compared to CTAN) small subset of popular LaTeX
classes and packages.

Rule of thumb: 

* if it is grey in the class selection drop-down box, the latex class is
  missing (or not found).

* if it does not turn up in the menus, the LyX layout (or module) is
  missing (or not found).

  I have used the wiki to add apae6.layout. It works but others do not.
 This is cumbersome, and several latex classes to do not report the
 origin of their .cls file (ie article or book and such) and so when I
 manually add the .layout file to lyx, lyx cannot understand it. Can I
 automate the process of adding the latex classes to lyx and having
 .layout files created or at least having them made available?

Writing a script for generating LyX layouts (or layout templates)
might be a task worth considering. I don't know of an existing
solution, though.

Re: Table cell widths are wrong and cannot be changed from LyX 1.6.10 to 2.0.0

2011-06-24 Thread Daisuke Koya
You've helped me before Richard, so thank you again.

Since my first posting, I've found out what the culprit was which was causing 
funny things in my table floats.

This seems to do with inserting the 

\usepackage{pdfsync}

LaTeX code in the preamble. When I removed the above code, the funny 
stretching of my tables stopped, although this means I cannot perform reverse 
searching any more.

For now, I will do without reverse-searching capabilities in exchange for 
correctly-rendered tables.

Importing LaTeX file fails

2011-06-24 Thread Trevor Jenkins
I grabbed a copy of a tutorial on the use of Constraint Grammars from here
http://kevindonnelly.org.uk/2010/05/constraint-grammar-tutorial/ The author
provides a LaTeX file that latex processes correctly (other than that my
system doesn't have a specific font installed). When I import this file into
LyX it screws up after a Verbatim usage; there's an earlier one that LyX
processes correctly but the second (longer one) is really screwed.

What is it that LyX is getting wrong?

How does LyX compile to PDF?

2011-06-24 Thread Steve Litt
Hi all,

The following shellscript compiles my PDF:

=
#!/bin/bash

rm -f junk.*
cp -p larry.lyx junk.lyx
lyx --export latex junk.lyx
latex junk.tex
makeindex -c -q junk.idx
latex junk.tex
dvips  junk.dvi
ps2pdf13 junk.ps
acroread junk.pdf
=

The preceding fails to produce a table of contents item for the book's 
index, yet when I compile to PDF within the LyX environment, the index 
appears in the table of contents.

The latex files produced are slightly different, but even if I replace 
the script compiled latex file with the one internally compiled (from 
the tmp directory), the symptom still appears.

And, before I put in a special line of text and \clearpage, the script 
compiled version had page numbers not matched to the PDF reader's 
opinion of the page number, whereas the environment compiled version 
had the page numbers on the pdf match those of the pdf reader.

I need to find out what the internal compile is doing that my script 
is not or vice versa.

The following are the definition of the converters in the LyX 
configuration:

DVI-Postscript:  dvips -o $$o $$i

LaTeX (Plain)-DVI: latex

DVI-Postscript: dvips -o $$o $$i

Postscript-PDF (ps2pdf): ps2pdf13 $$i $$o

What the heck is accounting for the discrepancy in these two 
techniques?

Thanks

PSTricks features the big drawback that it is incompatible with

either PostScript or XeTeX to compile PSTricks code.

Re: no classes available after installation of 1.6.10 and 2.0.0-3

2011-06-24 Thread Paul Rubin
When you successfully run latex at a command prompt, you are doing so with the
limited rights account, correct?

Am I correct in assuming that if you log in with the local admin account, LyX
works correctly for you?

One thing you might try is to delete the local LyX directory for the limited
rights user, then restart LyX (as the limited rights user) and let it try to
rebuild that directory.  I think the directory is usually stored at C:\Documents
and Settings\limited rights user id\Application Data\lyx.  (Unfortunately I
don't have access to a Win XP machine anymore.)  Just delete the entire
directory.  I you have modified any bind or layout files, you might want to back
those up first, but if this is an out-of-the-box LyX installation there is
nothing there you need to worry about.

Did you also check, whether they are found by LaTeX (e.g. running a

Does this mean the layout files shipped with lyx or additional ones
(downloaded from the wiki or home-made)?

Where are your layout files stored?

With most Unix-based systems, private layouts and modules should be in
~/.lyx/layouts (Help>About shows the LYXDIR).

LyX only supports a (compared to CTAN) small subset of popular LaTeX
classes and packages.

Rule of thumb: 

* if it is grey in the class selection drop-down box, the latex class is
  missing (or not found).

* if it does not turn up in the menus, the LyX layout (or module) is
  missing (or not found).

Writing a script for generating LyX layouts (or layout templates)
might be a task worth considering. I don't know of an existing
solution, though.

This converts the quotes when input from the keyboard.

Alternatives:

* Regexp search. Example regular expressions can be found by googling
  for the script "SmartyPants" (Perl) or the Python version
  "smartypants.py".
  
* A latex package (I think it was named quotes but I am not sure)
  which can be configured so that some character is made "active" and
  converted context-dependent.

Not necessarily: from csquotes.pdf:

 4.1 Quoting regular text
 
 \MakeOuterQuote and \MakeInnerQuote define active quotes which print
 outer and inner quotation marks. Both take one mandatory argument, the
 character serving as both opening and closing mark:

  \MakeOuterQuote{ character }
  \MakeInnerQuote{ character }

So, defining a character in the user preamble should work.

Defining the same, how can it differentiate? I guess this package is not
context-sensitive. Also, it has a list of not allowed characters, like, for

Re: Table cell widths are wrong and cannot be changed from LyX 1.6.10 to 2.0.0

2011-06-24 Thread Daisuke Koya
You've helped me before Richard, so thank you again.

Since my first posting, I've found out what the culprit was which was causing 
funny things in my table floats.

This seems to do with inserting the 

\usepackage{pdfsync}

LaTeX code in the preamble. When I removed the above code, the funny 
"stretching" of my tables stopped, although this means I cannot perform reverse 
searching any more.

For now, I will do without reverse-searching capabilities in exchange for 
correctly-rendered tables.

Stupid me, I've fallen prey to LyX' ability to automatically use the
.layout files located in the same folder as the .lyx file: this meant
that all the changes that I was performing in ~/.lyx-svn/layouts/ were
ignored.

The updated layout file (that I sent originally) works like sweet. Thanks!

Importing LaTeX file fails

2011-06-24 Thread Trevor Jenkins
I grabbed a copy of a tutorial on the use of Constraint Grammars from here
http://kevindonnelly.org.uk/2010/05/constraint-grammar-tutorial/ The author
provides a LaTeX file that latex processes correctly (other than that my
system doesn't have a specific font installed). When I import this file into
LyX it screws up after a Verbatim usage; there's an earlier one that LyX
processes correctly but the second (longer one) is really screwed.

What is it that LyX is getting wrong?

How does LyX compile to PDF?

2011-06-24 Thread Steve Litt
Hi all,

The following shellscript compiles my PDF:

=
#!/bin/bash

rm -f junk.*
cp -p larry.lyx junk.lyx
lyx --export latex junk.lyx
latex junk.tex
makeindex -c -q junk.idx
latex junk.tex
dvips  junk.dvi
ps2pdf13 junk.ps
acroread junk.pdf
=

The preceding fails to produce a table of contents item for the book's 
index, yet when I compile to PDF within the LyX environment, the index 
appears in the table of contents.

The latex files produced are slightly different, but even if I replace 
the script compiled latex file with the one internally compiled (from 
the tmp directory), the symptom still appears.

And, before I put in a special line of text and \clearpage, the script 
compiled version had page numbers not matched to the PDF reader's 
opinion of the page number, whereas the environment compiled version 
had the page numbers on the pdf match those of the pdf reader.

I need to find out what the internal compile is doing that my script 
is not or vice versa.

The following are the definition of the converters in the LyX 
configuration:

DVI->Postscript:  dvips -o $$o $$i

LaTeX (Plain)->DVI: latex

DVI->Postscript: dvips -o $$o $$i

Postscript->PDF (ps2pdf): ps2pdf13 $$i $$o

What the heck is accounting for the discrepancy in these two 
techniques?

Thanks

SteveT

PSTricks features the big drawback that it is incompatible with
pdflatex. I'm not sure how the Preview machinery works, but you need
either PostScript or XeTeX to compile PSTricks code.

Re: no classes available after installation of 1.6.10 and 2.0.0-3

2011-06-24 Thread Paul Rubin
When you successfully run latex at a command prompt, you are doing so with the
limited rights account, correct?

Am I correct in assuming that if you log in with the local admin account, LyX
works correctly for you?

One thing you might try is to delete the local LyX directory for the limited
rights user, then restart LyX (as the limited rights user) and let it try to
rebuild that directory.  I think the directory is usually stored at C:\Documents
and Settings\\Application Data\lyx.  (Unfortunately I
don't have access to a Win XP machine anymore.)  Just delete the entire
directory.  I you have modified any bind or layout files, you might want to back
those up first, but if this is an out-of-the-box LyX installation there is
nothing there you need to worry about.

Just as an FYI, the Desktop path _does_ contain spaces if it is translated into

Is it possible that your MiKTeX installation (I assume you are using MiKTeX)

All this means is that LaTeX failed to generate the PDF output file; it does not

This is extremely suspicious. Reconfiguration should create a new log

LyX from creating these files, which could mean that LyX isn't able to
