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

[Matthias Hunstig]

Hello,

I must correct myself:

 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.

I tried that (directories are actually called LyX2.0 and lyx16). It worked for 
1.6.10 - thanks for the help - but for 2.0.0 the problem persists. So it 
probably is related to some change from 1.6 to 2.0.

It only partly worked for 1.6.10. I now have a very limited and to my eyes 
strange selection of classes available, the rest is still markes as 
unavailable; see attachment.

In 2.0.0., there are still not classes available in the menu at all.

Lyx and Beamer

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,

I have imported a beamer document written previously by Scientific Word
(portable latex). The \begin{frame} and \end{frame} instruction have been
imported as evel red boxes. This is not a problem in itself, but now, when I
introduce a section between two frames Lyx introduces a \lyxframeend
instruction that I do need and that seems to crash the compilation of my
file (I get an emergency stop in Latex, without further information - I have
exported to latex and compiled by hand to see what is going on).

Is this normal that Lyx introduces these \lyxframeend commands even if I
have not used the New Frame environment? How can I correct the problem?
Is \lyxframeend an intelligent problem that is able to check if a frame is
already open (in which case, my problem could be caused by something else)?

Thank you very much for your help!

Murat

PS. I also send the message to developers, hoping that they would better
know how \lyxframeend works.

Re: Lyx and Beamer

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Just to complete my previous mail by an example, I get the following type
strange codings (copied from the View latex code window):

\end{frame}

 \lyxframeend{}\section{Blabla}


The \end{frame} comes from an Evil Red box and \lyxframeend{} is introduced
without a selection by me of a frame environment.

Noun (smallcaps) in Section title

[Manolo Martínez]

Hello everyone,

A quick question. If I use the Noun character style in a Section title, 
article(paper) ignores me and renders it in lowercase. Is there a way to 
override the style in this particular respect?


Thanks a lot,
Manolo

 Hi all,

 Currently when I cross-reference to a subsection, it will produce Latex code
 \subref{xxx}, and the result will be section X.Y. I'd like to make the
 section capitalized, but I can't find the option or settings to. I think I 
 can
 do it by replacing the \subref with \Subref in Latex code, but does Lyx 
 has
 this option?

Unfortunately, LyX 2.0 does not support this option. LyX 2.1 will. Until
then, you can either (a) do it in ERT, exactly as you suggest, or (b)
use prettyref instead of refstyle, which will uppercase everything. (So
with refstyle, you are in the opposite case as with prettyref.)

LyX's beamer support is kind of strange, in part because of LyX's
limited ability to handle arguments and in part because frames act like
insets but are rendered more like commands. This is why there is the odd
\lyxframeend{} macro. Anyway, it does not surprise me that LyX has
trouble importing beamer files properly. I think the only thing you can

Re: Lyx and Beamer

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Thanks Richard,

This is really bad news for me, since I have a whole bunch of course beamers
that I would like to convert to Lyx, since I am trying to definitely ditch
Scientific Word (after having lived for some time with both SW and Lyx).

My beamer documents are not particularly fancy, with some pauses and
\onslide etc. options, but Lys seems to suffer a lot from the conversion. I
also clean all comments from the .tex files, since they fill the Lyx window,
without any real use. This helps Lyx, but it is not very efficient in
conversion. Moreover, the error messages I get from Latex are not always
very helpful (but this another problem, well known by me from my latex by
hand days ;-)  ).

Lyx is not able to recognize \section like commands and translate them to
its environment structure (this is how I got the \lyxframeend problem: I
wanted to have more readable section titles, by selection the corresponding
environment for them). Neither options really get through the conversion
(for onslide, for example, \onslide gets in an ERB but not its option, but
this does not seem to annoy latex, so no problem here).

This is really very annoying indeed... We can only gain our co-authors to
Lyx if the conversion from Latex is quite painless.

How other people handle this? I really would not like to have to recreate
everything from scratch (even partially, since I have a lot of files to
convert).

html5 presentation support?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I just saw some html5 presentations (e.g. http://slides.html5rocks.com ) and
they seem to a be a great alternative to pdf presentations with beamer et
al. Is there anybody looking into the possibility of creating those via e.g.
eLyXer?

I think it would be absolutely great if this could be included in LyX. For
an example of export exporter for emacs org-mode, see
https://gist.github.com/509761

Cheers,

Rainer

Due to this I have python scripts (no surprise here :-) ) to convert from lyx

Teguh,

You need to use sub floats.
To achieve this on LyX, just insert a float inside another float.

This way, the caption of the sub-float is automatically named 2a, 2b and so
on.

One way to do things like this -- not officially sanctioned, of course, 
but worth a try, is to make one such change manually, then examine the 
Lyx files in an editor (pre and post change) to see what the replacement 
text is, and do a global search and replace (or, if you are good at 
this, you can write a perl script or some such) on the file.  Things 
like this may or may not be possible to do within LyX, but may work in 
an external editor.

Click Start  Run (or hold down the Windows key and hit R) and type

what is the productivity of lyx

[Wei-Dong Lian]

Hi everyone,

Thanks a lot for the contribution work by lyx team. I have written my thesis
and articles in lyx for a long time. I found it the best frontend of latex,
for tables and equations. This is the advantage of lyx, and also lyx is
an integrated IDE environment not like autex in emacs, everything should be
configured by yourself.

Sometimes, when I write equations and tables, I really enjoy the input in
lyx, cause I could input all frequently-used math symbols by shortcuts, I
also changed the prefix of math shortcut, it is very convenient. This
is great. I reconfigure the shortcuts, I nearly drop off my mouse. Still, I
need to use mouse for 5% input in lyx.

However, when I want to refer to labels and citations, each time, a dialog
pops up and I need to select some items and finish it, even with dialog
shortcuts (e.g. Alt+a,b,c,f,g,e,h), it is a bit boring. When inserting a
figure or table, one also needs to finish the pop-up dialog. They really
affects the productivity of writing.

What do you think about it?

I have some suggestions, for example,

1. can we define some templates such that one can insert figure floats with
one graphics or two graphics, or four graphics, and these styles have been
set as we defined a priori.
2. as for inserting label references or citations, other than answering a
popup dialog, can we consider some GUI style like ido (e.g. ido in emacs)?
it will indicates us some items to select, not a dialog, we can directly
type something to filter these items and select one item by a confirm
shortcut, just like ido-find-file in emacs. it might be continent.
Indeed, each time, we do not need to change the style for each item. In most
cases, for the popup dialog in lyx, I just select the essential information
and then confirm it.

What about your ideas?

Sincerely,

Re: Bizarre R (TSA package) + Sweave LaTeX error

[Yihui Xie]

Obviously you are using pgfSweave, and the problem came from the fact
that your plot contained a character string x  y which is not a
legal string in your context (because  is a special character that
needs to be escaped).

Two approaches to fix the problem:

1. change the title, e.g.

prewhiten(y=diff(bluebird)[,1],x=diff(bluebird)[,2],ylab='CCF', main =
'no special characters here')

2. use sanitize=TRUE in your chunk options (so that  will be replaced
by \); see ?sanitizeTexString in the tikzDevice package for details

I must correct myself:

 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.

I tried that (directories are actually called LyX2.0 and lyx16). It worked for 
1.6.10 - thanks for the help - but for 2.0.0 the problem persists. So it 
probably is related to some change from 1.6 to 2.0.

It only partly worked for 1.6.10. I now have a very limited and to my eyes 
strange selection of classes available, the rest is still markes as 
unavailable; see attachment.

In 2.0.0., there are still not classes available in the menu at all.

Lyx and Beamer

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,

I have imported a beamer document written previously by Scientific Word
(portable latex). The \begin{frame} and \end{frame} instruction have been
imported as evel red boxes. This is not a problem in itself, but now, when I
introduce a section between two frames Lyx introduces a \lyxframeend
instruction that I do need and that seems to crash the compilation of my
file (I get an emergency stop in Latex, without further information - I have
exported to latex and compiled by hand to see what is going on).

Is this normal that Lyx introduces these \lyxframeend commands even if I
have not used the New Frame environment? How can I correct the problem?
Is \lyxframeend an intelligent problem that is able to check if a frame is
already open (in which case, my problem could be caused by something else)?

Thank you very much for your help!

Murat

PS. I also send the message to developers, hoping that they would better
know how \lyxframeend works.

Just to complete my previous mail by an example, I get the following type
strange codings (copied from the View latex code window):

 \lyxframeend{}\section{Blabla}


The \end{frame} comes from an Evil Red box and \lyxframeend{} is introduced

Noun (smallcaps) in Section title

[Manolo Martínez]

Hello everyone,

A quick question. If I use the Noun character style in a Section title, 
article(paper) ignores me and renders it in lowercase. Is there a way to 
override the style in this particular respect?


Thanks a lot,

 Hi all,

 Currently when I cross-reference to a subsection, it will produce Latex code
 \subref{xxx}, and the result will be section X.Y. I'd like to make the
 section capitalized, but I can't find the option or settings to. I think I 
 can
 do it by replacing the \subref with \Subref in Latex code, but does Lyx 
 has
 this option?

Unfortunately, LyX 2.0 does not support this option. LyX 2.1 will. Until
then, you can either (a) do it in ERT, exactly as you suggest, or (b)
use prettyref instead of refstyle, which will uppercase everything. (So
with refstyle, you are in the opposite case as with prettyref.)

LyX's beamer support is kind of strange, in part because of LyX's

insets but are rendered more like commands. This is why there is the odd
\lyxframeend{} macro. Anyway, it does not surprise me that LyX has

Re: Lyx and Beamer

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Thanks Richard,

This is really bad news for me, since I have a whole bunch of course beamers
that I would like to convert to Lyx, since I am trying to definitely ditch
Scientific Word (after having lived for some time with both SW and Lyx).

My beamer documents are not particularly fancy, with some pauses and
\onslide etc. options, but Lys seems to suffer a lot from the conversion. I
also clean all comments from the .tex files, since they fill the Lyx window,
without any real use. This helps Lyx, but it is not very efficient in
conversion. Moreover, the error messages I get from Latex are not always
very helpful (but this another problem, well known by me from my latex by
hand days ;-)  ).

Lyx is not able to recognize \section like commands and translate them to
its environment structure (this is how I got the \lyxframeend problem: I
wanted to have more readable section titles, by selection the corresponding
environment for them). Neither options really get through the conversion
(for onslide, for example, \onslide gets in an ERB but not its option, but
this does not seem to annoy latex, so no problem here).

This is really very annoying indeed... We can only gain our co-authors to
Lyx if the conversion from Latex is quite painless.

How other people handle this? I really would not like to have to recreate
everything from scratch (even partially, since I have a lot of files to
convert).

html5 presentation support?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I just saw some html5 presentations (e.g. http://slides.html5rocks.com ) and
they seem to a be a great alternative to pdf presentations with beamer et
al. Is there anybody looking into the possibility of creating those via e.g.
eLyXer?

I think it would be absolutely great if this could be included in LyX. For
an example of export exporter for emacs org-mode, see
https://gist.github.com/509761

Teguh,

You need to use sub floats.
To achieve this on LyX, just insert a float inside another float.

This way, the caption of the sub-float is automatically named 2a, 2b and so

One way to do things like this -- not officially sanctioned, of course, 
but worth a try, is to make one such change manually, then examine the 
Lyx files in an editor (pre and post change) to see what the replacement 
text is, and do a global search and replace (or, if you are good at 
this, you can write a perl script or some such) on the file.  Things 
like this may or may not be possible to do within LyX, but may work in 
an external editor.

Click Start  Run (or hold down the Windows key and hit R) and type

what is the productivity of lyx

[Wei-Dong Lian]

Hi everyone,

Thanks a lot for the contribution work by lyx team. I have written my thesis
and articles in lyx for a long time. I found it the best frontend of latex,
for tables and equations. This is the advantage of lyx, and also lyx is
an integrated IDE environment not like autex in emacs, everything should be
configured by yourself.

Sometimes, when I write equations and tables, I really enjoy the input in
lyx, cause I could input all frequently-used math symbols by shortcuts, I
also changed the prefix of math shortcut, it is very convenient. This
is great. I reconfigure the shortcuts, I nearly drop off my mouse. Still, I
need to use mouse for 5% input in lyx.

However, when I want to refer to labels and citations, each time, a dialog
pops up and I need to select some items and finish it, even with dialog
shortcuts (e.g. Alt+a,b,c,f,g,e,h), it is a bit boring. When inserting a
figure or table, one also needs to finish the pop-up dialog. They really
affects the productivity of writing.

What do you think about it?

I have some suggestions, for example,

1. can we define some templates such that one can insert figure floats with
one graphics or two graphics, or four graphics, and these styles have been
set as we defined a priori.
2. as for inserting label references or citations, other than answering a
popup dialog, can we consider some GUI style like ido (e.g. ido in emacs)?
it will indicates us some items to select, not a dialog, we can directly
type something to filter these items and select one item by a confirm
shortcut, just like ido-find-file in emacs. it might be continent.
Indeed, each time, we do not need to change the style for each item. In most
cases, for the popup dialog in lyx, I just select the essential information
and then confirm it.

What about your ideas?

Sincerely,

Re: Bizarre R (TSA package) + Sweave LaTeX error

[Yihui Xie]

Obviously you are using pgfSweave, and the problem came from the fact
that your plot contained a character string x  y which is not a
legal string in your context (because  is a special character that
needs to be escaped).

Two approaches to fix the problem:

1. change the title, e.g.

prewhiten(y=diff(bluebird)[,1],x=diff(bluebird)[,2],ylab='CCF', main =
'no special characters here')

2. use sanitize=TRUE in your chunk options (so that  will be replaced
by \); see ?sanitizeTexString in the tikzDevice package for details

It only partly worked for 1.6.10. I now have a very limited and to my eyes 
strange selection of classes available, the rest is still markes as 
unavailable; see attachment.

In 2.0.0., there are still not classes available in the menu at all.

Lyx and Beamer

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,

I have imported a beamer document written previously by Scientific Word
(portable latex). The \begin{frame} and \end{frame} instruction have been
imported as evel red boxes. This is not a problem in itself, but now, when I
introduce a section between two frames Lyx introduces a \lyxframeend
instruction that I do need and that seems to crash the compilation of my
file (I get an emergency stop in Latex, without further information - I have
exported to latex and compiled by hand to see what is going on).

Is this normal that Lyx introduces these \lyxframeend commands even if I
have not used the New Frame environment? How can I correct the problem?
Is \lyxframeend an intelligent problem that is able to check if a frame is
already open (in which case, my problem could be caused by something else)?

Thank you very much for your help!

Murat

PS. I also send the message to developers, hoping that they would better
know how \lyxframeend works.

Re: Lyx and Beamer

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Just to complete my previous mail by an example, I get the following type
strange codings (copied from the View latex code window):

\end{frame}

 \lyxframeend{}\section{Blabla}


The \end{frame} comes from an Evil Red box and \lyxframeend{} is introduced
without a selection by me of a frame environment.

Noun (smallcaps) in Section title

[Manolo Martínez]

Hello everyone,

A quick question. If I use the Noun character style in a Section title, 
article(paper) ignores me and renders it in lowercase. Is there a way to 
override the style in this particular respect?


Thanks a lot,
Manolo

Unfortunately, LyX 2.0 does not support this option. LyX 2.1 will. Until
then, you can either (a) do it in ERT, exactly as you suggest, or (b)
use prettyref instead of refstyle, which will uppercase everything. (So
with refstyle, you are in the opposite case as with prettyref.)

LyX's beamer support is kind of strange, in part because of LyX's
limited ability to handle arguments and in part because frames act like
insets but are rendered more like commands. This is why there is the odd
\lyxframeend{} macro. Anyway, it does not surprise me that LyX has
trouble importing beamer files properly. I think the only thing you can
really do is clean it up manually.

Richard

Re: Lyx and Beamer

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Thanks Richard,

This is really bad news for me, since I have a whole bunch of course beamers
that I would like to convert to Lyx, since I am trying to definitely ditch
Scientific Word (after having lived for some time with both SW and Lyx).

My beamer documents are not particularly fancy, with some pauses and
\onslide etc. options, but Lys seems to suffer a lot from the conversion. I
also clean all comments from the .tex files, since they fill the Lyx window,
without any real use. This helps Lyx, but it is not very efficient in
conversion. Moreover, the error messages I get from Latex are not always
very helpful (but this another problem, well known by me from my latex by
hand days ;-)  ).

Lyx is not able to recognize \section like commands and translate them to
its environment structure (this is how I got the \lyxframeend problem: I
wanted to have more readable section titles, by selection the corresponding
environment for them). Neither options really get through the conversion
(for onslide, for example, \onslide gets in an ERB but not its option, but
this does not seem to annoy latex, so no problem here).

This is really very annoying indeed... We can only gain our co-authors to
Lyx if the conversion from Latex is quite painless.

How other people handle this? I really would not like to have to recreate
everything from scratch (even partially, since I have a lot of files to
convert).

If I were doing this, I'd write a Perl script to handle the clean up.
I've done this already with old documents converted from WordPerfect,
but of course your needs will be different.

html5 presentation support?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I just saw some html5 presentations (e.g. http://slides.html5rocks.com ) and
they seem to a be a great alternative to pdf presentations with beamer et
al. Is there anybody looking into the possibility of creating those via e.g.
eLyXer?

I think it would be absolutely great if this could be included in LyX. For
an example of export exporter for emacs org-mode, see
https://gist.github.com/509761

Cheers,

Rainer

Due to this I have python scripts (no surprise here :-) ) to convert from lyx 
to latex. I have in my todo list to clean the output the other way around but 
I have not yet found time to complete this task. :-(

You need to use sub floats.
To achieve this on LyX, just insert a float inside another float.

This way, the caption of the sub-float is automatically named 2a, 2b and so
on.

One way to do things like this -- not officially sanctioned, of course, 
but worth a try, is to make one such change manually, then examine the 
Lyx files in an editor (pre and post change) to see what the replacement 
text is, and do a global search and replace (or, if you are good at 
this, you can write a perl script or some such) on the file.  Things 
like this may or may not be possible to do within LyX, but may work in 
an external editor.

what is the productivity of lyx

[Wei-Dong Lian]

Hi everyone,

Thanks a lot for the contribution work by lyx team. I have written my thesis
and articles in lyx for a long time. I found it the best frontend of latex,
for tables and equations. This is the advantage of lyx, and also lyx is
an integrated IDE environment not like autex in emacs, everything should be
configured by yourself.

Sometimes, when I write equations and tables, I really enjoy the input in
lyx, cause I could input all frequently-used math symbols by shortcuts, I
also changed the prefix of math shortcut, it is very convenient. This
is great. I reconfigure the shortcuts, I nearly drop off my mouse. Still, I
need to use mouse for 5% input in lyx.

However, when I want to refer to labels and citations, each time, a dialog
pops up and I need to select some items and finish it, even with dialog
shortcuts (e.g. Alt+a,b,c,f,g,e,h), it is a bit boring. When inserting a
figure or table, one also needs to finish the pop-up dialog. They really
affects the productivity of writing.

What do you think about it?

I have some suggestions, for example,

1. can we define some templates such that one can insert figure floats with
one graphics or two graphics, or four graphics, and these styles have been
set as we defined a priori.
2. as for inserting label references or citations, other than answering a
popup dialog, can we consider some GUI style like ido (e.g. ido in emacs)?
it will indicates us some items to select, not a dialog, we can directly
type something to filter these items and select one item by a confirm
shortcut, just like ido-find-file in emacs. it might be continent.
Indeed, each time, we do not need to change the style for each item. In most
cases, for the popup dialog in lyx, I just select the essential information
and then confirm it.

What about your ideas?

Sincerely,

Re: Bizarre R (TSA package) + Sweave LaTeX error

[Yihui Xie]

Obviously you are using pgfSweave, and the problem came from the fact
that your plot contained a character string "x & y" which is not a
legal string in your context (because & is a special character that
needs to be escaped).

Two approaches to fix the problem:

1. change the title, e.g.

prewhiten(y=diff(bluebird)[,1],x=diff(bluebird)[,2],ylab='CCF', main =
'no special characters here')

2. use sanitize=TRUE in your chunk options (so that & will be replaced
by \&); see ?sanitizeTexString in the tikzDevice package for details

It sounds interesting, but I am not looking into it at the moment.
However (and here comes the inevitable contribution request), I accept
patches :)  If you try it you will find eLyXer very flexible in terms
of twisting its output.
