I see...

 Some of this concerns appearance in LyX itself; some concerns the
 LaTeX output; the last bit is XHTML info. Of course, the appearance of
 the h2 tag itself can be customized via CSS. That information can also
 be put into the layout file, if you wish. See e.g. stdstruct.inc.

Thank you.

 This is on the To-Do list. I'm hoping to get to it early in the
 summer. It won't be hard, but it'll take a bit of time to get right.

OK.

I'm also curios if there is plan for LyXHTML/eLyXer to add some JS-based

Coloring

[Merhebi, Bob]

Hello,

I was wondering whether I could use coloring in equations? For example,
when using Mathematica or python (in IDE), brackets  the like get
colored; I've seen a pdf document recently which involved such coloring;
is that possible in LyX?

Thanks

The objective was to do the convertor 'internally' right and more longlived
(i.e. independent on fileformat) than 3rd party convertors which at certain
point die out of resources and stop working after some years due to eternally
changing format of .lyx files.

There was time when we discussed inclusion of eLyXer into LyX, but we were not
able to agree with Alex (father of eLyXer) what should be the right (TM:)
technical approach. So the new one, LyXHTML maintained by the LyX team, was
born and as a result there are now two convertors, each of them different
flavour and philosophy behind.

The internal converter has several advantages, in principle, over elyxer.
The basic one is that it knows everything that LyX knows about the document
being exported. For example, it has access to what LyX knows about i18n, so
it will happily output, e.g., Kapitel 1 in a German document, and so 
forth. It
also knows all about layout files, so if you define some custom 
character style,
LyX will be able to export it using whatever information you provided 
about how
it is to be displayed in LyX itself, even if you do not provide custom 
CSS (which

you can also do): We create default CSS based on the display information.

That's the basic reason, as Pavel said, that the LyX team decided the 
internal

approach was the right one. There are other reasons, too, but we needn't get
into them.

It sounds very good.

By having strong LyX -- (X)HTML converter, my need to (re)consider

Is there an option for Docbook XML output?  I didn't see it.  So I
export to TeX then convert using TeX4ht.  Now, TeX4ht doesn't support
more than one author, which is.. lame, but even so LyX doesn't have a
way to represent all the author metadata I need.  Latexml does a much
better job of preserving multiple author information, and has a
simpler schema too, but still...

One possibility is to store author data in xml2rfc format and emit
directives from the XSLT stylesheet to include xml files named after
the authors.

Straghtforward XML export?

[Nico Williams]

The LaTeX-XML tools I've tried leave me... sad.  They tend to drop
some things.  For example: vertical space, which becomes a simple
newline in a paragraph's text.  It would be better to translate
vertical space into vspace/ elements -- that'd be much, much more
useful in XSLT than embedded newlines!

So I'm wondering: why couldn't LyX export to XML using a native schema
that preserves as much LyX markup as possible, indeed, if not all of
it?

How does LyX represent documents internally?  If it does it in an
objectified form then it should be fairly straightforward to walk the
document tree and emit XML, no?  Or, looking at .lyx files, maybe it
should be possible to script a simple LyX-XML conversion has
anyone tried this before?

 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel/119220

Lookingat LyX's format, it seems like translating to XML using a
LyX-specific schema should be utterly straightforward.  For example,
something like this:


\lyxformat 413
\begin_document
\begin_header
\textclass article
...
\end_header

\begin_body

\begin_layout Title
Some Doc
\end_layout

\begin_layout Author
Joe Sixpack
\begin_inset VSpace defskip
\end_inset

Sixpack Corp.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Abstract
Foo bar baz blah blah.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Abstract
Two paragrap abstract, eh?
\end_layout

...

should translate into:

article
titleSome Doc/title
authorJoe Sixpackvspace/Sixpack Corp./author
abstractFoo bar baz blah blah./abstract
abstractTwo paragrap abstract, eh?/abstract
...
/article

Translating insets and layouts into XML elements and attributes seems
relatively straightforward.  Translating directives seems
straightforward also.  Now, note that the two paragraph abstract would
be translated into two abstract elements, but an XSLT stylesheet
could easily translate that into:

abstractp.../pp.../p/abstract

A straightforward LyX-XML translation seems like the best approach to
LyX-XML translation because translation to any other schemas can then
be done via XSLT.

 something like this:

heh, you didn't get the point ;) to sumarize:

- lyx already produce docbook xml. but in older format.

- people spend lot of time to write quite complex web guides how to setup
  things and fix issues for new docbook format but never share their wisdom
  with lyx developers. either in contribution to lyx documentation or in
  stating what needs to be changed in lyx output.

- no lyx dev seems to be motivated to study docbook xml so although we think

  things will stay as they are now :)

Lyx on Windows: ps2eps missing?

[Klaus-Dieter Bauer]

Hello!

I stumbled into problems previewing PDF graphics inside LyX. It would
give me the error Unable to Convert to Loadable Format. That got me
some hits on Google, but the hits typically were from 2003, the issue
being about EPS files.

I investigated the message log, with only Graphics conversion and
loading enabled (full file see attachment). I found that the
conversion takes a very roundabout way, converting the PDF to PS, than
the PS to EPS and then EPS to PNG.

On examining the temporary directory, I found several PS files (and
some subdirectories unrelated to the image conversion), but no EPS or
PNG files. And indeed I found out that my system doesn't have a
ps2eps script on any of the PATH prefix folders. It has ps2epsi
though in MiKTeX!

My solution was to add a custom converter for PDF  PNG, simply using
LyX's own Image Magick convert.exe:
   convert -density 96 pdf:$$i png:$$o

However, I'm now wondering...
1. Did I just overlook posts describing a solution?
2. Why does the default converter go such a roundabout way, when most
file formats work well with convert.exe directly?
3. Would ps2eps be included if I had chosen the combined LyX/MiKTeX
installer? CTAN says, that it is not part of MiKTeX (
http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ps2eps ).
3a. If yes, is there anywhere any indication that the combined
installer should be preferred?

kind regards, Klaus-Dieter


Platform Information:
- Windows 7
- MiKTeX 2.9, installed separately. Should be the newest version, so
not having ps2eps is surprising to me.
- Cygwin installed, but only /bin on the windows PATH.

Then select the reference section and check the language, the best

You can select any text in a math inset and change the color
via the Text Style dialog (the ab button).  I don't
know of any way highlight formulas automatically.

For highlighting program listings the listings insets do a

You can select any text in a math inset and change the color
via the Text Style dialog (the ab button).  I don't
know of any way highlight formulas automatically.

For highlighting program listings the listings insets do a
nice job, and can use colors.

You can create colored boxes and put equations in those, as explained in help

So how about XHTML as starting point for your XSLT transformations?

Otherwise, you could use the native XHTML formatter as a model for adding
native XML output.

Another starting point would be the external elyxer tool: a Python

 Some of this concerns appearance in LyX itself; some concerns the

 the h2 tag itself can be customized via CSS. That information can also
 be put into the layout file, if you wish. See e.g. stdstruct.inc.

Thank you.

 This is on the To-Do list. I'm hoping to get to it early in the

The objective was to do the convertor 'internally' right and more longlived
(i.e. independent on fileformat) than 3rd party convertors which at certain
point die out of resources and stop working after some years due to eternally
changing format of .lyx files.

There was time when we discussed inclusion of eLyXer into LyX, but we were not
able to agree with Alex (father of eLyXer) what should be the right (TM:)
technical approach. So the new one, LyXHTML maintained by the LyX team, was
born and as a result there are now two convertors, each of them different
flavour and philosophy behind.

The internal converter has several advantages, in principle, over elyxer.
The basic one is that it knows everything that LyX knows about the document
being exported. For example, it has access to what LyX knows about i18n, so
it will happily output, e.g., Kapitel 1 in a German document, and so 
forth. It
also knows all about layout files, so if you define some custom 
character style,
LyX will be able to export it using whatever information you provided 
about how
it is to be displayed in LyX itself, even if you do not provide custom 
CSS (which

you can also do): We create default CSS based on the display information.

That's the basic reason, as Pavel said, that the LyX team decided the 
internal

approach was the right one. There are other reasons, too, but we needn't get
into them.

It sounds very good.

Is there an option for Docbook XML output?  I didn't see it.  So I
export to TeX then convert using TeX4ht.  Now, TeX4ht doesn't support
more than one author, which is.. lame, but even so LyX doesn't have a
way to represent all the author metadata I need.  Latexml does a much
better job of preserving multiple author information, and has a
simpler schema too, but still...

One possibility is to store author data in xml2rfc format and emit
directives from the XSLT stylesheet to include xml files named after
the authors.

Straghtforward XML export?

[Nico Williams]

The LaTeX-XML tools I've tried leave me... sad.  They tend to drop
some things.  For example: vertical space, which becomes a simple
newline in a paragraph's text.  It would be better to translate
vertical space into vspace/ elements -- that'd be much, much more
useful in XSLT than embedded newlines!

So I'm wondering: why couldn't LyX export to XML using a native schema
that preserves as much LyX markup as possible, indeed, if not all of
it?

How does LyX represent documents internally?  If it does it in an
objectified form then it should be fairly straightforward to walk the
document tree and emit XML, no?  Or, looking at .lyx files, maybe it
should be possible to script a simple LyX-XML conversion has
anyone tried this before?

 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel/119220

Lookingat LyX's format, it seems like translating to XML using a
LyX-specific schema should be utterly straightforward.  For example,
something like this:


\lyxformat 413
\begin_document
\begin_header
\textclass article
...
\end_header

\begin_body

\begin_layout Title
Some Doc
\end_layout

\begin_layout Author
Joe Sixpack
\begin_inset VSpace defskip
\end_inset

Sixpack Corp.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Abstract
Foo bar baz blah blah.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Abstract
Two paragrap abstract, eh?
\end_layout

...

should translate into:

article
titleSome Doc/title
authorJoe Sixpackvspace/Sixpack Corp./author
abstractFoo bar baz blah blah./abstract
abstractTwo paragrap abstract, eh?/abstract
...
/article

Translating insets and layouts into XML elements and attributes seems
relatively straightforward.  Translating directives seems
straightforward also.  Now, note that the two paragraph abstract would
be translated into two abstract elements, but an XSLT stylesheet
could easily translate that into:

abstractp.../pp.../p/abstract

A straightforward LyX-XML translation seems like the best approach to
LyX-XML translation because translation to any other schemas can then
be done via XSLT.

 something like this:

heh, you didn't get the point ;) to sumarize:

- lyx already produce docbook xml. but in older format.

- people spend lot of time to write quite complex web guides how to setup
  things and fix issues for new docbook format but never share their wisdom
  with lyx developers. either in contribution to lyx documentation or in
  stating what needs to be changed in lyx output.

- no lyx dev seems to be motivated to study docbook xml so although we think
  that the upgrade would be simple, until we know what exactly should change,
  things will stay as they are now :)

Lyx on Windows: ps2eps missing?

[Klaus-Dieter Bauer]

Hello!

I stumbled into problems previewing PDF graphics inside LyX. It would
give me the error Unable to Convert to Loadable Format. That got me
some hits on Google, but the hits typically were from 2003, the issue
being about EPS files.

I investigated the message log, with only Graphics conversion and
loading enabled (full file see attachment). I found that the
conversion takes a very roundabout way, converting the PDF to PS, than
the PS to EPS and then EPS to PNG.

On examining the temporary directory, I found several PS files (and
some subdirectories unrelated to the image conversion), but no EPS or
PNG files. And indeed I found out that my system doesn't have a
ps2eps script on any of the PATH prefix folders. It has ps2epsi
though in MiKTeX!

My solution was to add a custom converter for PDF  PNG, simply using
LyX's own Image Magick convert.exe:
   convert -density 96 pdf:$$i png:$$o

However, I'm now wondering...
1. Did I just overlook posts describing a solution?
2. Why does the default converter go such a roundabout way, when most
file formats work well with convert.exe directly?
3. Would ps2eps be included if I had chosen the combined LyX/MiKTeX
installer? CTAN says, that it is not part of MiKTeX (
http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ps2eps ).
3a. If yes, is there anywhere any indication that the combined
installer should be preferred?

kind regards, Klaus-Dieter


Platform Information:
- Windows 7
- MiKTeX 2.9, installed separately. Should be the newest version, so
not having ps2eps is surprising to me.
- Cygwin installed, but only /bin on the windows PATH.

Do you mean the setting in Documents  Settings  Language?

Mine is set to English.

Then select the reference section and check the language, the best 
solution should be to look at the lyx file into a text editor such as 
notepad++ (win2) or gedit (linux) and search for \language, you must 
have declared this only once in the entire document otherwise erase 
every other appearance than the first.

Re: Straghtforward XML export?

Is there canonical documentation of the LyX file format?  I can't find
it...  I did find this: http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/LyXFileFormat , but
that's just a changelog.  There's nothing else obvious in
http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/ ...  The development/FORMAT file in the
source tree is also a changelog.

You can select any text in a math inset and change the color

For highlighting program listings the listings insets do a

The objective was to do the convertor 'internally' right and more longlived
(i.e. independent on fileformat) than 3rd party convertors which at certain
point die out of resources and stop working after some years due to eternally
changing format of .lyx files.

There was time when we discussed inclusion of eLyXer into LyX, but we were not
able to agree with Alex (father of eLyXer) what should be the right (TM:)
technical approach. So the new one, LyXHTML maintained by the LyX team, was
born and as a result there are now two convertors, each of them different
flavour and philosophy behind.

The internal converter has several advantages, in principle, over elyxer.
The basic one is that it knows everything that LyX knows about the document
being exported. For example, it has access to what LyX knows about i18n, so
it will happily output, e.g., "Kapitel 1" in a German document, and so 
forth. It
also knows all about layout files, so if you define some custom 
character style,
LyX will be able to export it using whatever information you provided 
about how
it is to be displayed in LyX itself, even if you do not provide custom 
CSS (which

you can also do): We create default CSS based on the display information.

That's the basic reason, as Pavel said, that the LyX team decided the 
"internal"

approach was the right one. There are other reasons, too, but we needn't get
into them.

It sounds very good.

By having strong LyX --> (X)HTML converter, my need to (re)consider
using some markup (AsciiDoc/reST ) language is diminishing rapidly. :-)

Is there an option for Docbook XML output?  I didn't see it.  So I
export to TeX then convert using TeX4ht.  Now, TeX4ht doesn't support
more than one author, which is.. lame, but even so LyX doesn't have a
way to represent all the author metadata I need.  Latexml does a much
better job of preserving multiple author information, and has a
simpler schema too, but still...

One possibility is to store author data in xml2rfc format and emit
directives from the XSLT stylesheet to include xml files named after
the authors.

Straghtforward XML export?

[Nico Williams]

The LaTeX->XML tools I've tried leave me... sad.  They tend to drop
some things.  For example: vertical space, which becomes a simple
newline in a paragraph's text.  It would be better to translate
vertical space into  elements -- that'd be much, much more
useful in XSLT than embedded newlines!

So I'm wondering: why couldn't LyX export to XML using a native schema
that preserves as much LyX markup as possible, indeed, if not all of
it?

How does LyX represent documents internally?  If it does it in an
objectified form then it should be fairly straightforward to walk the
document tree and emit XML, no?  Or, looking at .lyx files, maybe it
should be possible to script a simple LyX->XML conversion has
anyone tried this before?

This I hadn't seen.  One thing to note is that the LyX I'm running (on
Ubuntu) has no option to save as or export to SGML or DocBook.  I
gather from the link you gave me that SGML and Docbook are natively
supported export formats, so I guess Ubuntu's build must be lacking
that feature.  Is that correct?

export items depend on software you have installed, in case of docbook
sgml-tools are needed. not using it i can't say much more, but it seems

Lookingat LyX's format, it seems like translating to XML using a
LyX-specific schema should be utterly straightforward.  For example,
something like this:


\lyxformat 413
\begin_document
\begin_header
\textclass article
...
\end_header

\begin_body

\begin_layout Title
Some Doc
\end_layout

\begin_layout Author
Joe Sixpack
\begin_inset VSpace defskip
\end_inset

Sixpack Corp.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Abstract
Foo bar baz blah blah.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Abstract
Two paragrap abstract, eh?
\end_layout

...

should translate into:


Some Doc
Joe SixpackSixpack Corp.
Foo bar baz blah blah.
Two paragrap abstract, eh?
...


Translating insets and layouts into XML elements and attributes seems
relatively straightforward.  Translating directives seems
straightforward also.  Now, note that the two paragraph abstract would
be translated into two  elements, but an XSLT stylesheet
could easily translate that into:

..

A straightforward LyX->XML translation seems like the best approach to
LyX->XML translation because translation to any other schemas can then
be done via XSLT.

Ah, that works.  Thanks!  I'll take a look and see if the native

heh, you didn't get the point ;) to sumarize:

- lyx already produce docbook xml. but in older format.

- people spend lot of time to write quite complex web guides how to setup
  things and fix issues for new docbook format but never share their wisdom
  with lyx developers. either in contribution to lyx documentation or in
  stating what needs to be changed in lyx output.

- no lyx dev seems to be motivated to study docbook xml so although we think
  that the upgrade would be simple, until we know what exactly should change,
  things will stay as they are now :)

Lyx on Windows: ps2eps missing?

[Klaus-Dieter Bauer]

Hello!

I stumbled into problems previewing PDF graphics inside LyX. It would
give me the error "Unable to Convert to Loadable Format". That got me
some hits on Google, but the hits typically were from 2003, the issue
being about EPS files.

I investigated the message log, with only "Graphics conversion and
loading" enabled (full file see attachment). I found that the
conversion takes a very roundabout way, converting the PDF to PS, than
the PS to EPS and then EPS to PNG.

On examining the temporary directory, I found several PS files (and
some subdirectories unrelated to the image conversion), but no EPS or
PNG files. And indeed I found out that my system doesn't have a
"ps2eps" script on any of the "PATH prefix" folders. It has "ps2epsi"
though in MiKTeX!

My solution was to add a custom converter for PDF > PNG, simply using
LyX's own Image Magick "convert.exe":
   convert -density 96 pdf:$$i png:$$o

However, I'm now wondering...
1. Did I just overlook posts describing a solution?
2. Why does the default converter go such a roundabout way, when most
file formats work well with convert.exe directly?
3. Would ps2eps be included if I had chosen the combined LyX/MiKTeX
installer? CTAN says, that it is not part of MiKTeX (
http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ps2eps ).
3a. If yes, is there anywhere any indication that the combined
installer should be preferred?

kind regards, Klaus-Dieter


Platform Information:
- Windows 7
- MiKTeX 2.9, installed separately. Should be the newest version, so
not having ps2eps is surprising to me.
- Cygwin installed, but only "/bin" on the windows PATH.

References appear with "et" instead of "and" between authors

[ChiPro]

Hi all,

I'm using BibDesk as my reference package in Lyx. I have set the Lyx options
(Documents > Settings) to "Natbib: Author-year" and the citation style to
"[author1] and [author2] ([year])".

Unfortunately, when I produce my PDF file, the reference appears as


[Author1] et [Author2] (2000)


instead of the desired


[Author1] and [Author2] (2000).


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
CP

You have your document language in French? If is the case change it to 
English

Nope, it still doesn't allow more than one author in docbook, though
it does merge all the authors listed in the LyX document source.

Do you mean the setting in Documents > Settings > Language?

Mine is set to English.

Mine is set to English.

Then select the reference section and check the language, the best 
solution should be to look at the lyx file into a text editor such as 
notepad++ (win2) or gedit (linux) and search for \language, you must 
have declared this only once in the entire document otherwise erase 
every other appearance than the first.

Is there canonical documentation of the LyX file format?  I can't find
it...  I did find this: http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/LyXFileFormat , but
that's just a changelog.  There's nothing else obvious in
http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/ ...  The development/FORMAT file in the
source tree is also a changelog.

You can select any text in a math inset and change the color
via the "Text Style" dialog (the "ab" button).  I don't
know of any way highlight formulas automatically.

For highlighting program listings the listings insets do a
nice job, and can use colors.

You can create colored boxes and put equations in those, as explained in help >

So how about XHTML as starting point for your XSLT transformations?

Otherwise, you could use the native XHTML formatter as a model for adding
"native XML" output.

Another starting point would be the external "elyxer" tool: a Python
package that takes a LyX file and converts it to XHTML.

Ah, those are good ideas.  I'll take a look.  Thanks!
