 Thanks, Ranier. I have just now tried this on a simple document (two 
 equations, two sections,
 a footnote, a figure with caption, a greyed comment, and two cross 
 references (to an equation
 and to a section).
 
 As usual, the LyXHTML looks very good. But in the docx, the equations are 
 not rendered and 
 contain spurious text, the figure caption and figure name are separated from 
 the figure and
 are shown as normal text, spurious text is inserted relating to the image, 
 and all of the 
 cross-references move the cursor to the title rather than to where it should 
 move. The
 footnote is printed as ordinary text as is the greyed text also.

Without doubt this is not perfect. As I said, I can't comment on equations and 
I did not worry
about the captions. Have you tried LyX - eLyXer - pandoc as well?

 
 pandoc -o newfile.odt newfile1.xhtml
 
 results in a similar result, but with completely nonfunctional cross 
 references and no
 spurious text relating to the figure image.
 
 I'm using OS X, LyX 2.0.5, Word 2011, LibreOffice 4.0.0.1, and pandoc 
 1.9.4.2.

For my case (no crossreferences, no inseted references, but formating in the 
text (italic for
species names) and only some pictures which I deleted anyway to reduce the size 
of the docx as I
had to email it for further revisions it worked better and faster then any 
other solution.

Have you tried to go ia LaTeX and pandoc?

I guess some manual fidelling will always be necessary, and for my document the 
fidelling required
after pandoc was considerably less as after any other approach.

Please keep us posted about any progress.

 You should try both converters (the build in and eLyXe), as they 
 performed differently
 on different objects. As my document did not contain any equations, I can 
 not comment
 on that.
 
 I must say, that I also used pandoc to convert to odt and then converted 
 the odt to
 docx with OpenOffice (this was before LibreOffice...) and it also worked 
 well.
 
 I can only suggest to try the different paths out and see which works 
 best, and then 
 post your experiences here and add them to  
 http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6042 so
 that there is some progress with pandoc support in LyX.

  I agree that 'Sender Address' should not be there, but I did not find an
alternative yesterday. I will look at your .lco and modifly DIN.lco as soon

I still use KOMA-Script letter2 class from time to time with Lyx version 2.


  It does result in better looking letters.

  On a related question, is there an environment that will put the

Probably different converters. The Windows one must crop off whitespace?

Multirows lines

Hi Lyx-list,

 

I have a problem that is … so to say: pissing me off (sorry my French).

 

I want a table in Lyx that basically looks like this:

 

TEST1

 

TEST

 

 

TEST2

 

 

Lyx, however, produces a table that looks like this

 

TEST1

 

TEST

 

 

TEST2

 

 

The problem is that the program seems to omit the upper and lower horizontal 
lines of the Row “Test”. I don’t know why.

Does anybody have a workaround for this?

 

Best,

Rainer

 Have you tried to go ia LaTeX and pandoc?

Yes. I have commented on this recently.

LyX - LaTeX (plain) - docx using pandoc:

Word (Mac 2011) complains This file is corrupt and cannot be opened. It then 
offers to repair the file. Results are: inline equation translated and editable 
but with two minor errors (it did not recognize lim as a function and set it in 
italics)--this shows that equation translation _can_ work; standalone equation 
not translated, TeX code is displayed between two $ signs, and equation number 
is lost; image caption is lost, but the spurious word image is displayed 
nearby; labels (section, equation) are set as ordinary text within their 
respective domains; cross-references are displayed as ordinary text but with 
nonexistent links; comments are displayed as normal text but in a separate 
paragraph, thus splitting the paragraph in which it is contained into two 
paragraphs; and indexed terms are lost.


LyX - LaTeX (plain) - odt using pandoc:
Opened with LibreOffice. The file is reported as corrupt and the program offers 
to repair it. Results--similar to above for Word except: inline equation is 
very poorly typeset and is not editable using the built-in equation editor; 
instead of the picture that was supposed to be a figure, a box is displayed 
which reads Read error; the word image is not displayed; clicking on the 
footnote cross reference moves the cursor to the crossreference;


 I guess some manual fidelling will always be necessary, and for my document 
 the fidelling required
 after pandoc was considerably less as after any other approach.
 
 Please keep us posted about any progress.

I'm afraid there won't likely be any more progress as I have spent a lot of 
time on this already, plus I have exhausted most of the obvious options. OTOH, 
if one considers the combinatorics of combining various options, I'm sure there 
are more options than any one person

I had a look at the documentation to find a way to do this and I think 
that you can use \nexthead to precisely define what you want exactly 
where you want (upper left of continuation pages). The best would be to 
define a letter class option file for business letters in the US and 
give it to Markus Kohm to make it part of the KOMA package. That's what 
I did for the french version (NF.lco is now maintained by Markus).

alternative yesterday. I will look at your .lco and modifly DIN.lco as soon
as I understand it.


I still use KOMA-Script letter2 class from time to time with Lyx version 2.


  It does result in better looking letters.

  On a related question, is there an environment that will put the
recipients address, date, and page number in the upper left of continuation
pages (i.e., those after the first page?) That is standard for business
letters in the US and works better than having the page number centered in
the footer.

Thanks very much,

Hi Lyx-list,

 

I have a problem that is … so to say: pissing me off (sorry my French).

 

I want a table in Lyx that basically looks like this:

 

TEST1

 

TEST

 

 

TEST2

 

 

Lyx, however, produces a table that looks like this

 

TEST1

 

TEST

 

 

TEST2

 

 

The problem is that the program seems to omit the upper and lower horizontal 
lines of the Row “Test”. I don’t know why.

Does anybody have a workaround for this?

 

Best,

Rainer

 Thanks, Ranier. I have just now tried this on a simple document (two 
 equations, two sections,
 a footnote, a figure with caption, a greyed comment, and two cross 
 references (to an equation
 and to a section).
 
 As usual, the LyXHTML looks very good. But in the docx, the equations are 
 not rendered and 
 contain spurious text, the figure caption and figure name are separated 
 from the figure and
 are shown as normal text, spurious text is inserted relating to the image, 
 and all of the 
 cross-references move the cursor to the title rather than to where it 
 should move. The
 footnote is printed as ordinary text as is the greyed text also.
 
 Without doubt this is not perfect. As I said, I can't comment on equations 
 and I did not worry
 about the captions. Have you tried LyX - eLyXer - pandoc as well?
 
 
 pandoc -o newfile.odt newfile1.xhtml
 
 results in a similar result, but with completely nonfunctional cross 
 references and no
 spurious text relating to the figure image.
 
 I'm using OS X, LyX 2.0.5, Word 2011, LibreOffice 4.0.0.1, and pandoc 
 1.9.4.2.
 
 For my case (no crossreferences, no inseted references, but formating in the 
 text (italic for
 species names) and only some pictures which I deleted anyway to reduce the 
 size of the docx as I
 had to email it for further revisions it worked better and faster then any 
 other solution.
 
 Have you tried to go ia LaTeX and pandoc?

Yes. I have commented on this recently.

LyX - LaTeX (plain) - docx using pandoc:

Word (Mac 2011) complains This file is corrupt and cannot be opened. It then 
offers to repair the file. Results are: inline equation translated and editable 
but with two minor errors (it did not recognize lim as a function and set it in 
italics)--this shows that equation translation _can_ work; standalone equation 
not translated, TeX code is displayed between two $ signs, and equation number 
is lost; image caption is lost, but the spurious word image is displayed 
nearby; labels (section, equation) are set as ordinary text within their 
respective domains; cross-references are displayed as ordinary text but with 
nonexistent links; comments are displayed as normal text but in a separate 
paragraph, thus splitting the paragraph in which it is contained into two 
paragraphs; and indexed terms are lost.


LyX - LaTeX (plain) - odt using pandoc:
Opened with LibreOffice. The file is reported as corrupt and the program offers 
to repair it. Results--similar to above for Word except: inline equation is 
very poorly typeset and is not editable using the built-in equation editor; 
instead of the picture that was supposed to be a figure, a box is displayed 
which reads Read error; the word image is not displayed; clicking on the 
footnote cross reference moves the cursor to the crossreference;


 I guess some manual fidelling will always be necessary, and for my document 
 the fidelling required
 after pandoc was considerably less as after any other approach.
 
 Please keep us posted about any progress.

I'm afraid there won't likely be any more progress as I have spent a lot of 
time on this already, plus I have exhausted most of the obvious options. OTOH, 
if one considers the combinatorics of combining various options, I'm sure there 
are more options than any one person

I had a look at the documentation to find a way to do this and I think 
that you can use \nexthead to precisely define what you want exactly 
where you want (upper left of continuation pages). The best would be to 
define a letter class option file for business letters in the US and 
give it to Markus Kohm to make it part of the KOMA package. That's what 
I did for the french version (NF.lco is now maintained by Markus).

Word (Mac 2011) complains "This file is corrupt and cannot be opened." It then 
offers to repair the file. Results are: inline equation translated and editable 
but with two minor errors (it did not recognize lim as a function and set it in 
italics)--this shows that equation translation _can_ work; standalone equation 
not translated, TeX code is displayed between two $ signs, and equation number 
is lost; image caption is lost, but the spurious word "image" is displayed 
nearby; labels (section, equation) are set as ordinary text within their 
respective domains; cross-references are displayed as ordinary text but with 
nonexistent links; comments are displayed as normal text but in a separate 
paragraph, thus splitting the paragraph in which it is contained into two 
paragraphs; and indexed terms are lost.


LyX -> LaTeX (plain) -> odt using pandoc:
Opened with LibreOffice. The file is reported as corrupt and the program offers 
to repair it. Results--similar to above for Word except: inline equation is 
very poorly typeset and is not editable using the built-in equation editor; 
instead of the picture that was supposed to be a figure, a box is displayed 
which reads "Read error"; the word "image" is not displayed; clicking on the 
footnote cross reference moves the cursor to the crossreference;

Re: KOMA-script letter2: adding graphic letterhead

[...]  On a related question, is there an environment that will put the
recipients address, date, and page number in the upper left of 
continuation

pages (i.e., those after the first page?) That is standard for business
letters in the US and works better than having the page number 
centered in

the footer.
I had a look at the documentation to find a way to do this and I think 
that you can use \nexthead to precisely define what you want exactly 
where you want (upper left of continuation pages). The best would be to 
define a letter class option file for business letters in the US and 
give it to Markus Kohm to make it part of the KOMA package. That's what 
I did for the french version (NF.lco is now maintained by Markus).
