I have in the pas used Tex2word from Chikrii software with success.
Equationa are correctly translated in this case, figures not, but I prefer
to include them in the optimal format for Word myself. This is commercial
software (a plugin for Word), but it is not expensive and has even a lower
education pricing policy. It uses MathType (but the free version of it is
enough).

AW: Multirows lines

[Rilke Rainer Michael]

Hallo Scott,

 

Thank you for your reply. I am confused, too. But I have to mention that
the lyx file differs a bit from the table I originally posted in the
email. 

 

What I see is exactly what you described (1, MULTIROW above the table
and 2, no lines for multirows. I created that MWE from my main document
where I cannot find bug (1). I am not sure what to change ...

Hi Rainer,

 

I'm confused. The MWE is not like in the email you sent. In the email
you sent there are TEST1, TEST, and TEST2. In the LyX file I see 6
TESTS. What is your expected output for the LyX file?

 

A separate bug I see is that the first MULTIROW shows up *above* the
table. That is quite strange, right? That to me seems like a bug. Can
you confirm?

 

I did some recent work on handling tables and borders in LyX. There are
a few known problems but I have not seen this one.

Lyx, however, produces a table that looks like this

2. If I insert a header in the preambele it works as long as I change the

What do I wrong?

I have no idea. At least one company is charging $99 (USD) for their product. 

 
 As a Mac user, I can of course run Windows, but I don't relish the idea of 
 buying another 
 copy of Office, plus converter software for Windows. I don't mind paying 
 for commercial 
 software except Microsoft stuff which I find is generally of poor quality 
 (in fact, I often 
 prefer it)

Sorry for that confusing sentence. What I meant to say was that I frequently 
find that someone who charges money for their product is committed to keeping 
it up to date and improving it rather than letting it languish. Of course I say 
that with due deference to the amazing LyX team (and many other open source 
volunteer efforts) but not to a lot of one-person freeware projects who leave a 
sometimes large user base hanging, such as the case of the recent abandonment 
of the great word processor called Bean, on the Mac.

 but the extra hassle of going this route, with still unknown results, is 
 not 
 appealing. I think I recall a Windows converter from LaTeX to Word where 
 there was also 
 offered a manual conversion of anything that their software did not 
 convert, for an 
 additional fee per megabyte over a certain level of file size. What a mess.
 
 True - even though commercial, could you please report back if you find a 
 usable solution, as hee
 are quite a few users fighting regul;arly with conversion issues.

Of course.

Thanks for that information, Murat. Indeed, Tex2word was one of the Windows 
products that I saw near the top of a Google search.

One question about Word that I have not answered for myself is the relation 
between (on the Mac) Word 2011 and older versions of Word. The 2011 version has 
a built-in equation-setting function while older versions of Word used 
MathType, a separate program. I think this development has paralleled Word on 
Windows. So my question is, is the newer version just a better-integrated 
version of MathType or did Microsoft make their own? I gather that they are not 
compatible with one another.

But the installation of Tex2Word could require Windows m: it comes with a setup

under Parallel's VM.

unicode superscripts in the bibliography

[Frédéric Parrenin]

Dear all,


I use my bibtex database both with LibreOffice (using jabref and the OO
plugin) and Lyx.
For superscript/subscript characters, I use unicode encoding since it is
the only way jabref and its OO plugin can process them.

Problem is that now, I get some errors when using these references in Lyx,
for example:

 using δ¹

⁸o of atmospheric oxygen measurements.

I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think

you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.


Do you know if there is a solution for this problem (apart from creating
double entries, one with unicode and one with latex coding)?

Best regards,

Frédéric Parrenin

I recommend exporting to LaTeX and then reading scrguide.pdf (the superb

Re-importing to LyX should give you a working example. If not, you can post

 Thanks for that information, Murat. Indeed, Tex2word was one of the 
 Windows products that I saw near the top of a Google search.
 

 One question about Word that I have not answered for myself 
 is the relation between (on the Mac) Word 2011 and older versions of Word. 
 The 2011 version has a built-in equation-setting function 
 while older versions of Word used MathType, a separate program. 
 I think this development has paralleled Word on Windows. 
 So my question is, is the newer version just a better-integrated version 
 of MathType or did Microsoft make their own? 
 I gather that they are not compatible with one another.

No, they aren't (same in the Word-for-Windows since version 2007). They
are completely different and it is not possible (afaik) to convert one
into the other, and I also don't know any converter which is able to
convert the new format into anything else - although the notation for
inputting equations in the new editor is much like LaTeX. 
The old one is still delivered with Word 2007 and 2010 for Windows (I
don't know about the Mac) but only available on the ribbon if the file
format is set to Word 97-2003-document.
Some publishers ask not to use the new equation editor but the old
(MathType compatible) one when submitting an article as Word file.

Re: unicode superscripts in the bibliography

[stefano franchi]

Frederic,

which bibliography  processor do you use? bibtex does not support unicode
and I guess it never will. If you want your bibtex files to be
unicode-encoded, the best solution, in my opinion is to switch to
biber+biblatex. biber supports unicode fully and lyx can be set to use it
(in DocumentsSettings). biblatex is not completely supported in LyX yet,
but it is usabel if you follow the instructions in the wiki.

Cheers,

Stefano

 This must be a bug that has been fixed since 2.0 was released. I thought
 it might alternatively be a bug in your TeX distribution (e.g. MiKTeX) but
 the .tex file you sent me is incorrect which means that it's LyX's fault.
 So you can either (1) install the newest LyX version or (2) add in
 the \cline{2-2} lines manually (see the correct .tex attached).

 Maybe a problem with the pdf? did you try a different one? What about

I have in the pas used Tex2word from Chikrii software with success.
Equationa are correctly translated in this case, figures not, but I prefer
to include them in the optimal format for Word myself. This is commercial
software (a plugin for Word), but it is not expensive and has even a lower
education pricing policy. It uses MathType (but the free version of it is
enough).

[Rilke Rainer Michael]

Hallo Scott,

 

Thank you for your reply. I am confused, too. But I have to mention that
the lyx file differs a bit from the table I originally posted in the
email. 

 

What I see is exactly what you described (1, MULTIROW above the table
and 2, no lines for multirows. I created that MWE from my main document
where I cannot find bug (1). I am not sure what to change ...

Hi Rainer,

 

I'm confused. The MWE is not like in the email you sent. In the email
you sent there are TEST1, TEST, and TEST2. In the LyX file I see 6
TESTS. What is your expected output for the LyX file?

 

A separate bug I see is that the first MULTIROW shows up *above* the
table. That is quite strange, right? That to me seems like a bug. Can
you confirm?

 

I did some recent work on handling tables and borders in LyX. There are
a few known problems but I have not seen this one.

Lyx, however, produces a table that looks like this

I have no idea. At least one company is charging $99 (USD) for their product. 

 
 As a Mac user, I can of course run Windows, but I don't relish the idea of 
 buying another 
 copy of Office, plus converter software for Windows. I don't mind paying 
 for commercial 
 software except Microsoft stuff which I find is generally of poor quality 
 (in fact, I often 
 prefer it)

Sorry for that confusing sentence. What I meant to say was that I frequently 
find that someone who charges money for their product is committed to keeping 
it up to date and improving it rather than letting it languish. Of course I say 
that with due deference to the amazing LyX team (and many other open source 
volunteer efforts) but not to a lot of one-person freeware projects who leave a 
sometimes large user base hanging, such as the case of the recent abandonment 
of the great word processor called Bean, on the Mac.

 but the extra hassle of going this route, with still unknown results, is 
 not 
 appealing. I think I recall a Windows converter from LaTeX to Word where 
 there was also 
 offered a manual conversion of anything that their software did not 
 convert, for an 
 additional fee per megabyte over a certain level of file size. What a mess.
 
 True - even though commercial, could you please report back if you find a 
 usable solution, as hee
 are quite a few users fighting regul;arly with conversion issues.

Of course.

Thanks for that information, Murat. Indeed, Tex2word was one of the Windows 
products that I saw near the top of a Google search.

One question about Word that I have not answered for myself is the relation 
between (on the Mac) Word 2011 and older versions of Word. The 2011 version has 
a built-in equation-setting function while older versions of Word used 
MathType, a separate program. I think this development has paralleled Word on 
Windows. So my question is, is the newer version just a better-integrated 
version of MathType or did Microsoft make their own? I gather that they are not 
compatible with one another.

Re : Word won't open simplest LyXHTML file

But the installation of Tex2Word could require Windows m: it comes with a setup

under Parallel's VM.

unicode superscripts in the bibliography

[Frédéric Parrenin]

Dear all,


I use my bibtex database both with LibreOffice (using jabref and the OO
plugin) and Lyx.
For superscript/subscript characters, I use unicode encoding since it is
the only way jabref and its OO plugin can process them.

Problem is that now, I get some errors when using these references in Lyx,
for example:

 using δ¹

⁸o of atmospheric oxygen measurements.

I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think

you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.


Do you know if there is a solution for this problem (apart from creating
double entries, one with unicode and one with latex coding)?

Best regards,

Frédéric Parrenin

I recommend exporting to LaTeX and then reading scrguide.pdf (the superb

Re-importing to LyX should give you a working example. If not, you can post

 Thanks for that information, Murat. Indeed, Tex2word was one of the 
 Windows products that I saw near the top of a Google search.
 

 One question about Word that I have not answered for myself 
 is the relation between (on the Mac) Word 2011 and older versions of Word. 
 The 2011 version has a built-in equation-setting function 
 while older versions of Word used MathType, a separate program. 
 I think this development has paralleled Word on Windows. 
 So my question is, is the newer version just a better-integrated version 
 of MathType or did Microsoft make their own? 
 I gather that they are not compatible with one another.

No, they aren't (same in the Word-for-Windows since version 2007). They
are completely different and it is not possible (afaik) to convert one
into the other, and I also don't know any converter which is able to
convert the new format into anything else - although the notation for
inputting equations in the new editor is much like LaTeX. 
The old one is still delivered with Word 2007 and 2010 for Windows (I
don't know about the Mac) but only available on the ribbon if the file
format is set to Word 97-2003-document.
Some publishers ask not to use the new equation editor but the old
(MathType compatible) one when submitting an article as Word file.

Re: unicode superscripts in the bibliography

[stefano franchi]

Frederic,

which bibliography  processor do you use? bibtex does not support unicode
and I guess it never will. If you want your bibtex files to be
unicode-encoded, the best solution, in my opinion is to switch to
biber+biblatex. biber supports unicode fully and lyx can be set to use it
(in DocumentsSettings). biblatex is not completely supported in LyX yet,
but it is usabel if you follow the instructions in the wiki.

Cheers,

Stefano

 This must be a bug that has been fixed since 2.0 was released. I thought
 it might alternatively be a bug in your TeX distribution (e.g. MiKTeX) but
 the .tex file you sent me is incorrect which means that it's LyX's fault.
 So you can either (1) install the newest LyX version or (2) add in
 the \cline{2-2} lines manually (see the correct .tex attached).

 I also tried to go the LyX -> LaTeX -> docx route, but the results 
 were not as 
 usable as via xhtml. So I would suggest to try the route via xhtml.

 Well - using
 
 pandoc -o newfile.docx newfile1.xhtml
 
 works as expected and produces a docx file.
 
 So I can only say it works. I only used the converters and format 
 definitions as 
 mentioned earlier.
 
 
 Truy it:
 
 simple lyx file, export to LyXhtml and use above command to convert to 
 docx.

Re: Word won't open simplest LyXHTML file

[Murat Yildizoglu]

I have in the pas used Tex2word from Chikrii software with success.
Equationa are correctly translated in this case, figures not, but I prefer
to include them in the optimal format for Word myself. This is commercial
software (a plugin for Word), but it is not expensive and has even a lower
education pricing policy. It uses MathType (but the free version of it is
enough).

AW: Multirows & lines

[Rilke Rainer Michael]

Hallo Scott,

 

Thank you for your reply. I am confused, too. But I have to mention that
the lyx file differs a bit from the table I originally posted in the
email. 

 

What I see is exactly what you described (1, MULTIROW above the table
and 2, no lines for multirows. I created that MWE from my main document
where I cannot find bug (1). I am not sure what to change ...

Hi Rainer,

 

I'm confused. The MWE is not like in the email you sent. In the email
you sent there are "TEST1", "TEST", and "TEST2". In the LyX file I see 6
"TESTS". What is your expected output for the LyX file?

 

A separate bug I see is that the first "MULTIROW" shows up *above* the
table. That is quite strange, right? That to me seems like a bug. Can
you confirm?

 

I did some recent work on handling tables and borders in LyX. There are
a few known problems but I have not seen this one.

Hi Lyx-list,

 

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

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?

 

Can you send an MWE (minimum working example)?

Thanks - I'll keep it in mind when I have convert again. And the academic 
pricing is acceptable if
it keeps co-authors happy

And as I get MSOffice via the University for free and it runs nicely under 
wine, it might be an
option.

lyx: customizing documentclass (scrartcl)

[Jörg Kühne]

Dear Lyx list

1. How I could customize (for the whole document: own title format, author and 
standard text format) f.e. in the documentclass scrartcl?

2. If I insert a header in the preambele it works as long as I change the 
format to use the predefined title or author format. If I use the predefined 
format for titel, author ... then the header will disappear.
What do I wrong?

Sorry for that confusing sentence. What I meant to say was that I frequently 
find that someone who charges money for their product is committed to keeping 
it up to date and improving it rather than letting it languish. Of course I say 
that with due deference to the amazing LyX team (and many other open source 
volunteer efforts) but not to a lot of one-person freeware projects who leave a 
sometimes large user base hanging, such as the case of the recent abandonment 
of the great word processor called Bean, on the Mac.

Thanks for that information, Murat. Indeed, Tex2word was one of the Windows 
products that I saw near the top of a Google search.

One question about Word that I have not answered for myself is the relation 
between (on the Mac) Word 2011 and older versions of Word. The 2011 version has 
a built-in equation-setting function while older versions of Word used 
MathType, a separate program. I think this development has paralleled Word on 
Windows. So my question is, is the newer version just a better-integrated 
version of MathType or did Microsoft make their own? I gather that they are not 
compatible with one another.

Jerry

Re : Word won't open simplest LyXHTML file

[Murat Yildizoglu]

But the installation of Tex2Word could require Windows m: it comes with a setup 
exe if I remember well, and probably needs to run some code to activate through 
Internet, I have not tested this under Wine. I have been able to install it 
under Parallel's VM.

I just installed it under Wine (30 day test) and it worked - I am using "Play

 I also tried to go the LyX -> LaTeX -> docx route, but the results 
 were
 not as usable as via xhtml. So I would suggest to try the route via
 xhtml.

 Well - using
 
 pandoc -o newfile.docx newfile1.xhtml
 
 works as expected and produces a docx file.
 
 So I can only say it works. I only used the converters and format 
 definitions as 
 mentioned earlier.
 
 
 Truy it:
 
 simple lyx file, export to LyXhtml and use above command to convert to 
 docx.

unicode superscripts in the bibliography

[Frédéric Parrenin]

Dear all,


I use my bibtex database both with LibreOffice (using jabref and the OO
plugin) and Lyx.
For superscript/subscript characters, I use unicode encoding since it is
the only way jabref and its OO plugin can process them.

Problem is that now, I get some errors when using these references in Lyx,
for example:

 using δ¹

⁸o of atmospheric oxygen measurements.

I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think

you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.


Do you know if there is a solution for this problem (apart from creating
double entries, one with unicode and one with latex coding)?

Best regards,

Frédéric Parrenin

Hard to say without a minimal example.

I recommend exporting to LaTeX and then reading scrguide.pdf (the superb
KOMA-script documentation)¹ and modify the *.tex file until it works as
expected.

Re-importing to LyX should give you a working example. If not, you can post
the problem together with the example.

No, they aren't (same in the Word-for-Windows since version 2007). They
are completely different and it is not possible (afaik) to convert one
into the other, and I also don't know any converter which is able to
convert the new format into anything else - although the notation for
inputting equations in the new editor is much like LaTeX. 
The old one is still delivered with Word 2007 and 2010 for Windows (I
don't know about the Mac) but only available on the ribbon if the file
format is set to "Word 97-2003-document".
Some publishers ask not to use the new equation editor but the old
(MathType compatible) one when submitting an article as Word file.

Re: unicode superscripts in the bibliography

[stefano franchi]

Frederic,

which bibliography  processor do you use? bibtex does not support unicode
and I guess it never will. If you want your bibtex files to be
unicode-encoded, the best solution, in my opinion is to switch to
biber+biblatex. biber supports unicode fully and lyx can be set to use it
(in Documents>>Settings). biblatex is not completely supported in LyX yet,
but it is usabel if you follow the instructions in the wiki.

Cheers,

Stefano

Hi Hridayesh,

Can you please make a guide on the wiki for Devnagri under Ubuntu? It
seems that there is some good information in this email between your
and Liviu's findings that you could help out future users with similar
issues. You might also help out yourself next time you install Ubuntu.

It is easy to register and edit the wiki.

I think there are two issues here:
1. Importing
2. Using (and exporting)

Issue 1 seems like a valid request to me and could be filed as an

I don't know if this is still being used, but there is:
LyX SD-edition (extended version with special support for structured

http://www.imped.fi/wordpress/?page_id=26=en
I do not see source code available.

It looks to be based on 1.6 so maybe it is out of date.
