Re: Position of tilde

  Hello all! I apologise if this has been asked to death, but is there any
 way to get a normal looking tilde? Like
  this -- ~? I want to use it instead of saying approximately but when I
 use the keyboard tilde
  (\textasciitilde) it appears at the top of the line in the pdf output
 instead of the middle where I want it.
  I've tried the tilde math symbol as well ($\sim$) but it's a bit too
 fancy
 haha. Any ideas?
 
  Cheers!

 I have figured this out. In your preamble use:

 \usepackage{tipa}

 and then instead of the tilde use:

 \textsuperimposetilde{}

 in ERT.

 This gets me a normal looking tilde for my uses.


Also have a look at this FAQ:

Hi Caio,

I am not really sure how switching to Latex export plus direct compilation
with a makefile solved your original issues. What happened to those errors
you got when compiling from within lyx? Did they magically disappear? That

graphics preview shows wrong page

[Ross Boylan]

I am using the beamer template to make a presentation and have several 
pages of graphics in a pdf file.(*)

I want to include individual pages at different points of the presentation.

I did Insert | File | External Material and selected PDFPages and 
browsed to and selected the pdf file.

On the LatTeX and LyX options tab I entered pages={1}.
Inline I see the last page of the document (page 3).  When I preview 
with ctl-R (pdflatex) I see the correct page.


Am I doing something wrong, or is the a bug?

I would appreciate being cc'd on the response.

Ross Boylan


LyX version 2.0.6 installed from the windows binary bundle.
Running windows 7

The pdf file was produced by R.


* The output pdf did not include the figure until I RTFM for Embedded 
Objects, which advises that figures should be outside of beamer frames 
and preceded by TeX code \setbeamertemplate{background canvas}{}

Re: Problems with Undefined control sequence - \newfloat \float \floatstyle

[caio rodrigues]

Hi Stefano,

The Makefile has solved my issues by just ignoring the error and forcing
the compilation by doing : make recompile. The Lyx version is : LyX 2.0.3 .

 The makefile  exports the lyx file to tex file and compiles by using:
   lyx -batch -f -e latex finalproject-report.lyx
and generates   finalproject-report.tex and compiles it.

There are a lot of errors in LaTex that aren't  important and annoying .  I
have installed all LaTex packages in Linux .

Here is the makefile code:  http://sprunge.us/WhPi

Going back to the error subject:
The  LyX gives three errors when I try to compile:

(1)

 \floatstyle

{}

The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.


(2)

 \newfloat

{}{}{}

The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.


(3)

 \floatname

{}{\protect\name}

The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.



Here is the complete error log :  http://sprunge.us/aQXJ

Here is the latex generated preamble :  http://sprunge.us/eHWi


In the tex source code I 've seen that : Lyx automatically inserts this
codes.


\DeclareTextSymbol{\~}{LGR}{126}
%% Because html converters don't know tabularnewline
\providecommand{\tabularnewline}{\\}
\floatstyle{}
\newfloat{}{}{}
\providecommand{\name}{}
\floatname{}{\protect\name}


If I compile by exporting to tex  and doing :   pdflatex
monografia-parcial18.tex  it will give the same errors that are reported in
Lyx.

If I remove this codes in the tex file and compile it , there won't be any
errors reported and any issues.

If I don't remove this trouble code and export to Tex  and do:  pdflatex
 file.tex   and hit CR every time and do all others steps like bibitex,
 makeindex and forcing the compilation. It will build the  target pdf file
as expected. That is what the makefile does.

I believe that another benefit of Makefile is more control  and make more
easier to find the errors by viewing the error log file and all the
compilation process.  In addition the user can add more automation like
version control , send to remote repository ...  The makefile is one the
best Unix tools.

I hope this Makefile be useful to someone.

Regards,
Caio
