Re: Logic: Tableau Proofs (trees)
Ernesto,
I'm writing a paper using LyX, and I need to insert several specific
tableaus into it. Using your numbers:
1) I do not want to add just *any* tableau example.
2) I do want to add several specific tableaus containing particular
formulas. Probably just five or six such tableaus, each of which would
occupy ten to twenty lines of text. (By a line of text, I mean a
horizontal line across the page in the finished, PDF version. Such a line
might of course include characters from more that one branch. In the
example called Sample Tableau, attached to an earlier message in this
string, I count 12 horizontal lines of text in the leftmost branch (not
counting the slanted lines that indicate branching).)
3) My original idea was indeed to learn to make my own tableaus so that I
could accomplish 2.
When you ask "which logic?" I assume you're asking which object-language
formulas will appear (with some additional prefixes and suffixes) as items
in the tableaus. The answer is: first-order modal logic plus a lambda
operator for predicate abstraction. That is the object language used in
the Sample Tableau attachment, except that the formulas in the Sample
Tableau don't happen to contain any modal connectives. (The modal
connectives I'm using are the box and the diamond.)
I've been pressed for time the last few days, so I haven't yet had a chance
to try the suggestions you made on Nov 4, or the ones you make today (Nov
6). I'll do so tomorrow and let you know what happens.
Thanks,
Bill

Lost DVI output rendering with TexShop upgrading to 3.26 for Mac
Hello Sirs at Lyx Users; I just upgraded to the newest version of TexShop vs. 3.26 for Mac (mini + Mavericks) and whatever setting I choose on the LyX (vs. 2.0.6) preferences (dealing with "converters" options and "file formats") the result is always the same: I receive a frustrating TextEdit (a Mac .rtf / .txt default app) window with proto-ur-dinosaur code ! I checked the TexShop default settings, and everything seems ok (synchronization files, etc.) maybe it can depend from the (Preferences -> Engine -> Path) of "(pdf)TeX" and "Distiller" ? Acutally they are set on:/usr/texbin AND /usr/local/bin (As one million times stated here in the forum: if I work with .pdf outputs from LyX instead of DVI, everything works fine ! and I get a .pdf opened from Acrobat Writer. ) But I want to work into the TexShop window from DVI synchro ! Why it doesn't work ? Can you suggest me a step by step procedure to re-set the preferences correctly ? Thank You, Best Regards Manu

Dear Benoit,
I noted this behavior in my previous email. My only guess is the
following (I would be very surprised if I'm right but it's all I got):
Perhaps JASA does not want tables centered and so they disable
centering. Perhaps disabling works for \centering but they incorrectly
ignored/dealt with \begin{centering}..\end{centering}.
At this point I would suggest contacting the JASA LaTeX maintainers or
posting on tex.stackexchange.com (if you do this please tag your
question with 'lyx' and link back to this discussion:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg97222.html). In
any case, if you find out more information, please let us know.
Best of luck,
Scott

Hi Benoit,
Next time can you please send a minimal example
(wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample) ? I can reproduce now, but it took
me a long time to do so.
The problem has to do with whether the table is the only paragraph you
have in the float or not.
If the table is the only paragraph in the float,
\centering{} is used.
If there is another paragraph,
\begin{centering} ... \end{centering} is used.
In the first case, the table is still not centered in the output. In
the second case, I get an error.
See the difference in the two attached examples.
My first reaction is that this is a problem with the JASA package, not
with LyX, because with standard article class everything works fine. I
know little about this though so I could be wrong.

Re: Logic: Tableau Proofs (trees)
Didn't my last suggestions help?
I am still unsure about whether you want to 1) add *any* tableau example,
2) add a specific tableau (i.e., a particular example that you have in mind
with particular formulas), or 3) be able to make your own tableaux. If it
is 1 or 2, which logic? Please clarify.
In terms of tools, I'm afraid that there is no tool, to the best of my
knowledge, that allows you to make tableaux with absolutely no knowledge of
LaTeX. Even if you try to use a drawing program for this purpose, you'll
have to write at least the formulas in LaTeX, and it is quite tricky to
embed formulas in such drawing tools. So if you want to be able to create
your own, I'm afraid you'll have to learn a little bit.
As for your example, try doing the following:
1. In LyX: open your file; go to "Document->Settings..->LaTeX Preamble" and
enter the following:
\usepackage{tikz}
\def\land{\wedge}
\def\lor{\vee}
\def\limp{\to}
\def\closed{\times}
2. Open Notepad and enter the following (keep the spaces at the beginning
of each line):
\begin{minipage}{1\columnwidth}%
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}
[level distance=1.5cm,
level 1/.style={sibling distance=2cm},
every child node/.style={anchor=north},
every child/.style={parent anchor=south}]
\node {\begin{minipage}{4cm}%
\begin{center}
$1~\neg ((p \lor (p \land q)) \limp p)$\\
$1~p \lor (p \land q)$\\
$1~\neg p $
\end{center}
\end{minipage}}
child {node {\begin{minipage}{0.5cm}%
\begin{center}
$1~p$\\
$\closed$
\end{center}
\end{minipage}}}
child {node {\begin{minipage}{1.5cm}%
\begin{center}
$1~p \land q$\\
$1~p$\\
$1~q$\\
$\closed$
\end{center}
\end{minipage}}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}
\end{minipage}
Save this file as "tableau_example.tex" in the same folder as your LyX file.
3. On LyX, go to the part of your file where you want the tableau. If you
had it in a TeX box, remove it, put the cursor in its place, and go to
"Insert->File->Child document...". Click on "Browse..." and select
"tableau_example.tex".
Click OK.
4. Save your LyX file, and now you should be able to preview it or export
it.
PS: Finally, when posting messages to the mailing list please keep the same
subject line (which you can do by clicking "Reply" on your e-mail client).
This allows other people who have a similar problem to follow the
conversation. Also, ensure that when replying to help from someone in the

that people can follow the conversation and see the possible solutions.

Under root it runs without problems. Would it help if I create a new user and try it there until I have solved the (non-Lyx) issue under my current Home (or Homes)?

The idea of a collaborative editor had been proposed as one of the GSoC projects this year http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/SummerOfCode2013Ideas#toc10 but unfortunately it was not selected at the end. There's been quite some discussion on the ML about how to realize it, e.g. in: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg178180.html or other threads with GSoC applicant students. Also, the patch available at: http://www.lyx.org/trac/attachment/ticket/7964/lyx-collaborate-v4.patch see also the video at http://retis.sssup.it/~tommaso/lyx-collaborate.ogv was actually a very rough sketch of exchanging information on cursor movements, instantiating a Buffer with multiple remote views, and sending back and forth all editing LFUNs, but the prototype also highlighted that LyX would require non-negligible internal relifts, in order to support that properly. Perhaps it might be worthwhile to follow up and re-propose the project for a possible GSoC'14 ? On the other hand, the LyX Chat (also proposed as GSoC project) was way simpler, both from a conceptual and a usability viewpoint, and I think it really mixes seamlessly with XMPP and other chat clients. In other words, I see the chat as an easy add-on that might constitute another cool and advertisable feature of LyX helping to spread the word and widen the users community :-) T.
