Figure besides

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Figure Besides is used to set the legend to the side of a (small) 
figure. It is used in this way:

Text. \FigBesBeg  here is figure \FigBesEnd More Text ...
I noticed that,  if the text after the \FigBesEnd (in ERT) follows 
immediately the tex-Box,

Text. \FigBesBeg  here is figure \FigBesEndMore Text ...
(that is, the More Text follows without a space)
I get an error:
\FigBesEndEs wurde vorgeschlagen, dass die Kontrolle der Transkription

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.


I am using Lyx 1.06 under Kubuntu.
I wonder, whether this is a Latex thing, or a Lyx mistake, or my stupidity.

Re: The persistent problem with svmono class and \boldsymbol font

[Richard Heck]

Hello,

About a year ago I asked about the problem that I have while using
the svmono class. I have done some additional tests and it seems
to me that there must be some bug in the LyX template for svmono.
So, if the author of this template reads my message, I would appreciate
some help. The problem is as follows:

I need to use the font \boldsymbol in the equation editor.
This font is properly visible under LyX, but when I generate a pdf
file, then the font looks identical as the standard equation
editor font (that is the letters are not thicker). I suspect that
this is a bug in the svmono LyX template, because the problem does
not occur in the default document template of LyX, that is when the svmono
class is not used. In the latter case the font looks properly in pdf files.

I hope there is some way to fix this problem ?


Do you know if the problem arises simply using LaTeX? Sometimes 
particular classes,

especially for journals, do redefine LaTeX commands, such as \boldsymbol.

The problem is that there is no space between your LaTeX command and the 
text. So LyX is

outputing:
\FigBesEndEs
which is not a LaTeX command. Just put a space at the end of your ERT 
(or else: {}).

What would help is a concrete proposal about how the UI should work. 
Then we can think about how to code it.


One idea I had was to implement something corresponding to the Next 
Style option in LibreOffice styles. So, e.g., if you are in a Frame 
environment and you hit Return, then LyX would know NOT to make the 
next line also a Frame, but instead to revert to Standard (and perhaps 
we could also have a layout option that told LyX to increase depth for 
that new layout).

The problem appears to be

\usepackage[adobe-utopia]{mathdesign}


in your preamble. If you change it to:

\usepackage{fourier}


(for the Utopia fonts) you can then use the \uproot{x} and \leftroot{x}
commands in your sqrt. You also need to make sure the amsmath package is
loaded.

Check out the attached, and also look in the preamble.

Hope this helps!

Well, you know that you only need to nest paragraphs of a different layout.
This is the case for _any_ LyX paragraph layout. So why would you want to
nest Frame layout into Frame layout? It does not need to be nested. What
needs to be nested is all content of other layout. Again: this is by no
means an exotism of beamer frame, this is how environments work in LyX.

Also, this is clearly documented in the Beamer manual to which I pointed
you several times, but you do not seem to be interested in reading it, so
here comes a quotation:

• Note that all frame content, if the style is not Frame, must be nested to
the frame environment (via Edit⇒Increase List Depth or Alt+Shift+Right)
• Nested content is marked by a red bar in the margin of the LyX workarea

Lyx 2.1 in Debian

[Corrado Mencar]

Dear Lyx users,
   I recently passed to Debian (wheezy - testing) from a Ubuntu machine
where I installed Lyx 2.1. To my great surprise, I found that the current
Lyx version supported in Debian is v2.0.6 because the package seems no more
maintained since last summer (see http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lyx.html
).
   Unfortunately, as you may know, Lyx 2.1 generates lyx files that are
incompatible with Lyx 2.0.6. There is the export function but it is not
convenient when you work collaboratively with peers that use Lyx 2.1 (that
is my case).
   Apart from asking colleagues to downgrade to Lyx 2.0.x (with subsequent
complaints) is there any workaround to install Lyx 2.1 in Debian? Please
consider that the current lyx package maintainer is looking for a new
maintainer: if someone in the list is a Debian passionate/expert may
consider the invitation... that would be a great aid!

creating my first lyx doc

[Barry Brent]

I'm new to LyX and I'm trying to create 
my first LyX document using the LyX Tutorial. 
I described 
my first try in an email to lyx-d...@lists.lyx.org 
as follows:

**
I’m running into trouble teaching myself how to 
use LyX from your document “The LyX Tutorial”.  

I just tried out the suggestions in section 2.1.1:

2.1.1 Typing, Viewing, and Exporting

Open a new file with File◃New

Type a sentence like: This is my first LYX document!

Save your document with File ◃ Save As.

Create a PDF file, with View◃View or the 
toolbar button Mail Attachment.png. 
LYX will open a 
PDF-viewer program displaying your document 
as it will look when printed.3

Export the ready to print document with File ◃ Export 
to a format you want.

Congratulations! You have written your first LYX 
document. All of the rest is just details.



I got through the first three bullet points, but not the
fourth. (I’m using Mac OS 9.2.) In your pull-
down menu “View” there is no sub-option also
 called “View”. But there *is* an option called  
“Toolbars” within which I found an option called 
“View/Update”. That’s as close as I could come to 
“View◃View”. 


View/Update didn’t work. 
(No viewer was forthcoming.) 

*

The reply was as follows:

*

Which version are you using? 
You should have ViewView (Other Formats) 
in 2.0.x (and it appears 
you are using the Tutorial from some such version). 
That has been moved to the Document menu 
(Document View (Other Formats)) in 2.1.x. 
You should be able to choose PDF (pdflatex), e.g., off 
that menu.

FYI, these questions are better suited to the 
lyx-users list. This list is for discussion of problems 
with the documentation itself. 
Which maybe there is some here, but the 
main issues seem to be 
using the program.

*

As it happens I'm using version 2.1 with Mac OS 9. 
But in the Mac OS 9 version of Version 2.1, the 
menu

Document ◃ View (Other Formats) 

is empty. 

Please advise.

Thanks,

Barry,

  I use linux, not OS X, but it should make no difference.

  I've never used the View menu to look at the compiled document. Instead, I
use Ctrl-x p (with the emacs keyboard layout). You can get to the same place
using Tools - Preferences - Editing - Shortcuts - Document/Window -
Buffer-View DVI. Assign they keys you want (such as what I use) to that
function.

  The DVI viewer will pop up and display the document as it would be
compiled to a pdf with, for example, File - Export - pdflatex.

Did you install MacTeX prior to installing LyX? If so, then you might try
Reconfiguring LyX. I'm not sure where that is on the OSX menus. Here, it
is at Tools Reconfigure, but it might be elsewhere for you. (OSX has its
own way of doing things.)

Actually, it is very odd that the menu is completely empty. LyX has certain
internal formats it can produce without external assistance, such as XHTML,
so you should at least see that, even if LaTeX is not installed.

Is that menu still empty if you check it when the Tutorial is open?

It is possible there is some Python issue. This has been reported on some
systems.

I'm going to cc the OSX developers and see if they have any ideas.

Re: blindtext, unicode-math, and babel won't play nice because of setmathfont

[asllearner]

Yes, I was just about to add that. Thanks for the redirection. I am aware  
it is quite likely the problem is more user error and not an actual  
problem in the packages or in LyX. I have done what I can to refer to the  
manuals and previous posts, but hadn't found anything about this situation  
in particular.


I posted here first since my suspicion was that I wasn't asking LyX  
properly to do what I wanted. I've had problems before with the fact that  
LyX sets up babel and hyperref before the preamble kicks in. Also, in the  
end my goal(hope) is to have all these work in LyX with the actual  
document I am trying to produce, even if it is possible to get the  
packages to work together in TeX. At ths point my best guess is the  
problem is with how I am using unicode...

Re: Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0

[Julio Rojas]

Dear Jürgen, there is no need for irony on your comments. Everybody is
doing an honest effort to work with the new Beamer environment.

You have quoted the behavior of other environments as the reference for the
Frame environment. If I am in a, for example, Problem environment and I
want to get out of it into the standard environment, all I have to do is
issue a couple of returns. This behavior is nowhere to be found in the
Frame environment, as I can issue as many returns as I wish and the UI
will accept them. This is, at least IMHO, a first in Lyx.

As for the behavior after getting out of the frame title, what Neal was
explaining is related to the previous paragraph. After issuing return
outside of the frame title, another return should get you to the standard
environment. Then issuing a tab would indent this standard environment into
the Frame environment and you can keep working. This is the behavior I
was expecting from my experience with Lyx and all sorts of environments. In
this moment, you can issue as many returns as you wish and Lyx would keep
adding empty white lines of a Frame environment. This behavior is not
only annoying and useless, to say the least, but also is nowhere to be
found in other environments.

I hope that you understand our concerns.

Regards.

Figure besides

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Figure Besides is used to set the legend to the side of a (small) 
figure. It is used in this way:

Text. \FigBesBeg  here is figure \FigBesEnd More Text ...
I noticed that,  if the text after the \FigBesEnd (in ERT) follows 
immediately the tex-Box,

Text. \FigBesBeg  here is figure \FigBesEndMore Text ...
(that is, the More Text follows without a space)
I get an error:
\FigBesEndEs wurde vorgeschlagen, dass die Kontrolle der Transkription

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.


I am using Lyx 1.06 under Kubuntu.
I wonder, whether this is a Latex thing, or a Lyx mistake, or my stupidity.

Hello,

About a year ago I asked about the problem that I have while using
the svmono class. I have done some additional tests and it seems
to me that there must be some bug in the LyX template for svmono.
So, if the author of this template reads my message, I would appreciate
some help. The problem is as follows:

I need to use the font \boldsymbol in the equation editor.
This font is properly visible under LyX, but when I generate a pdf
file, then the font looks identical as the standard equation
editor font (that is the letters are not thicker). I suspect that
this is a bug in the svmono LyX template, because the problem does
not occur in the default document template of LyX, that is when the svmono
class is not used. In the latter case the font looks properly in pdf files.

I hope there is some way to fix this problem ?


Do you know if the problem arises simply using LaTeX? Sometimes 
particular classes,

especially for journals, do redefine LaTeX commands, such as \boldsymbol.

The problem is that there is no space between your LaTeX command and the 
text. So LyX is

outputing:
\FigBesEndEs
which is not a LaTeX command. Just put a space at the end of your ERT 
(or else: {}).

What would help is a concrete proposal about how the UI should work. 
Then we can think about how to code it.


One idea I had was to implement something corresponding to the Next 
Style option in LibreOffice styles. So, e.g., if you are in a Frame 
environment and you hit Return, then LyX would know NOT to make the 
next line also a Frame, but instead to revert to Standard (and perhaps 
we could also have a layout option that told LyX to increase depth for 
that new layout).

Well, you know that you only need to nest paragraphs of a different layout.
This is the case for _any_ LyX paragraph layout. So why would you want to
nest Frame layout into Frame layout? It does not need to be nested. What
needs to be nested is all content of other layout. Again: this is by no
means an exotism of beamer frame, this is how environments work in LyX.

Also, this is clearly documented in the Beamer manual to which I pointed
you several times, but you do not seem to be interested in reading it, so

Lyx 2.1 in Debian

[Corrado Mencar]

Dear Lyx users,
   I recently passed to Debian (wheezy - testing) from a Ubuntu machine
where I installed Lyx 2.1. To my great surprise, I found that the current
Lyx version supported in Debian is v2.0.6 because the package seems no more
maintained since last summer (see http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lyx.html
).
   Unfortunately, as you may know, Lyx 2.1 generates lyx files that are
incompatible with Lyx 2.0.6. There is the export function but it is not
convenient when you work collaboratively with peers that use Lyx 2.1 (that
is my case).
   Apart from asking colleagues to downgrade to Lyx 2.0.x (with subsequent
complaints) is there any workaround to install Lyx 2.1 in Debian? Please
consider that the current lyx package maintainer is looking for a new
maintainer: if someone in the list is a Debian passionate/expert may
consider the invitation... that would be a great aid!

creating my first lyx doc

[Barry Brent]

I'm new to LyX and I'm trying to create 
my first LyX document using the LyX Tutorial. 
I described 
my first try in an email to lyx-d...@lists.lyx.org 
as follows:

**
I’m running into trouble teaching myself how to 
use LyX from your document “The LyX Tutorial”.  

I just tried out the suggestions in section 2.1.1:

2.1.1 Typing, Viewing, and Exporting

Open a new file with File◃New

Type a sentence like: This is my first LYX document!

Save your document with File ◃ Save As.

Create a PDF file, with View◃View or the 
toolbar button Mail Attachment.png. 
LYX will open a 
PDF-viewer program displaying your document 
as it will look when printed.3

Export the ready to print document with File ◃ Export 
to a format you want.

Congratulations! You have written your first LYX 
document. All of the rest is just details.



I got through the first three bullet points, but not the
fourth. (I’m using Mac OS 9.2.) In your pull-
down menu “View” there is no sub-option also
 called “View”. But there *is* an option called  
“Toolbars” within which I found an option called 
“View/Update”. That’s as close as I could come to 
“View◃View”. 


View/Update didn’t work. 
(No viewer was forthcoming.) 

*

The reply was as follows:

*

Which version are you using? 
You should have ViewView (Other Formats) 
in 2.0.x (and it appears 
you are using the Tutorial from some such version). 
That has been moved to the Document menu 
(Document View (Other Formats)) in 2.1.x. 
You should be able to choose PDF (pdflatex), e.g., off 
that menu.

FYI, these questions are better suited to the 
lyx-users list. This list is for discussion of problems 
with the documentation itself. 
Which maybe there is some here, but the 
main issues seem to be 
using the program.

*

As it happens I'm using version 2.1 with Mac OS 9. 
But in the Mac OS 9 version of Version 2.1, the 
menu

Document ◃ View (Other Formats) 

is empty. 

Please advise.

Thanks,

Barry,

  I use linux, not OS X, but it should make no difference.

  I've never used the View menu to look at the compiled document. Instead, I
use Ctrl-x p (with the emacs keyboard layout). You can get to the same place
using Tools - Preferences - Editing - Shortcuts - Document/Window -
Buffer-View DVI. Assign they keys you want (such as what I use) to that
function.

  The DVI viewer will pop up and display the document as it would be
compiled to a pdf with, for example, File - Export - pdflatex.

Did you install MacTeX prior to installing LyX? If so, then you might try
Reconfiguring LyX. I'm not sure where that is on the OSX menus. Here, it
is at Tools Reconfigure, but it might be elsewhere for you. (OSX has its
own way of doing things.)

Actually, it is very odd that the menu is completely empty. LyX has certain
internal formats it can produce without external assistance, such as XHTML,
so you should at least see that, even if LaTeX is not installed.

Is that menu still empty if you check it when the Tutorial is open?

It is possible there is some Python issue. This has been reported on some
systems.

I'm going to cc the OSX developers and see if they have any ideas.

Re: Updated a .cls file

[Steve Burnham]

Forum, 

My university provides a .cls file that was last updated around 1998. I found a 
more up to date .cls file (2011) from another department. When I replace the 
old .cls file with the new one my document will no longer compile. It has 
something to do with the ERT at the beginning of the document. To me the error 
hints that something has been misspelled but I cannot find a spelling error and 
what it is pointing to is spelled the same in both .cls files. I’m including a 
link to a .zip file of an example with the new .cls  file so you can see the 
error it produces and also the old .cls file in an appropriately named folder  
in case it is of any help.

Yes, I was just about to add that. Thanks for the redirection. I am aware  
it is quite likely the problem is more user error and not an actual  
problem in the packages or in LyX. I have done what I can to refer to the

in particular.


I posted here first since my suspicion was that I wasn't asking LyX  
properly to do what I wanted. I've had problems before with the fact that  
LyX sets up babel and hyperref before the preamble kicks in. Also, in the  
end my goal(hope) is to have all these work in LyX with the actual  
document I am trying to produce, even if it is possible to get the  
packages to work together in TeX. At ths point my best guess is the  
problem is with how I am using unicode...

Re: Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0

[Julio Rojas]

Dear Jürgen, there is no need for irony on your comments. Everybody is
doing an honest effort to work with the new Beamer environment.

You have quoted the behavior of other environments as the reference for the
Frame environment. If I am in a, for example, Problem environment and I
want to get out of it into the standard environment, all I have to do is
issue a couple of returns. This behavior is nowhere to be found in the
Frame environment, as I can issue as many returns as I wish and the UI
will accept them. This is, at least IMHO, a first in Lyx.

As for the behavior after getting out of the frame title, what Neal was
explaining is related to the previous paragraph. After issuing return
outside of the frame title, another return should get you to the standard
environment. Then issuing a tab would indent this standard environment into
the Frame environment and you can keep working. This is the behavior I
was expecting from my experience with Lyx and all sorts of environments. In
this moment, you can issue as many returns as you wish and Lyx would keep
adding empty white lines of a Frame environment. This behavior is not
only annoying and useless, to say the least, but also is nowhere to be
found in other environments.

I hope that you understand our concerns.

Regards.

Figure besides

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Figure Besides is used to set the legend to the side of a (small) 
figure. It is used in this way:

Text. \FigBesBeg   \FigBesEnd More Text ...
I noticed that,  if the text after the \FigBesEnd (in ERT) follows 
immediately the tex-Box,

Text. \FigBesBeg   \FigBesEndMore Text ...
(that is, the More Text follows without a space)
I get an error:
\FigBesEndEs wurde vorgeschlagen, dass die Kontrolle der Transkription

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.


I am using Lyx 1.06 under Kubuntu.
I wonder, whether this is a Latex thing, or a Lyx mistake, or my stupidity.

Hello,

About a year ago I asked about the problem that I have while using
the svmono class. I have done some additional tests and it seems
to me that there must be some bug in the LyX template for svmono.
So, if the author of this template reads my message, I would appreciate
some help. The problem is as follows:

I need to use the font \boldsymbol in the equation editor.
This font is properly visible under LyX, but when I generate a pdf
file, then the font looks identical as the standard equation
editor font (that is the letters are not thicker). I suspect that
this is a bug in the svmono LyX template, because the problem does
not occur in the default document template of LyX, that is when the svmono
class is not used. In the latter case the font looks properly in pdf files.

I hope there is some way to fix this problem ?


Do you know if the problem arises simply using LaTeX? Sometimes 
particular classes,

especially for journals, do redefine LaTeX commands, such as \boldsymbol.

The problem is that there is no space between your LaTeX command and the

outputing:
\FigBesEndEs
which is not a LaTeX command. Just put a space at the end of your ERT 
(or else: {}).

Style" option in LibreOffice styles. So, e.g., if you are in a Frame 
environment and you hit , then LyX would know NOT to make the 
next line also a Frame, but instead to revert to Standard (and perhaps 
we could also have a layout option that told LyX to increase depth for 
that new layout).

Why do you have \tau in \scriptstyle? Try putting it in \displaystyle.

Well, this is exactly what Alt+Return does. But let me repeat: Frame _does_
make most sense here. Note that the style is called "Frame", not "Frame
Title". I do not understand why a nested Standard paragraph would be
required here.

Yes. But the logic will be not easy to figure.

OK, I'm confused here.  Let's consider workflow to make a bullet chart.

Insert sep.  Hit return.
Select Frame
Fill in Title
oops - return in title does nothing, navigate past title (right arrow), hit 
return
Now I'm in Frame.  Certainly not what I want - I don't even know what this 
frame 
in a frame would do.
Switch to itemize
Use mouse to hit -> icon to nest itemize within frame.

I haven't tried out the shortcut listed earlier in this thread yet.

The problem appears to be

in your preamble. If you change it to:

(for the Utopia fonts) you can then use the \uproot{x} and \leftroot{x}

Check out the attached, and also look in the preamble.

Hope this helps!

Easier:

Alt-A Return
Fill in title
Arrow right
Return

I do not understand what you mean by "Frame in a frame". You are still in
the same frame. Would you also say "Quotation in a quotation" if the style
still is called "quotation" after hitting return? Or "Itemize in an
itemize"? Or "Theorem in a Theorem"? Or, for that matter, "Standard in
Standard"?

Yes. The same as you need to do when using itemize in an Example box, or
Quotation, or Theorem, or ...

Re: Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0

After arrow right, return.
I can type some text.  Looks nice.  Oh, it's not nested in the frame.  Hit
tab.

Now you have Frame inside Frame.

Which brings up another question.  Alt-A return?  How could I have
discovered this?  If I look at Help/Shortcuts, I don't see it (or am I
blind?)

I wish lyx had a way to discover things like emacs does.

Just to clarify my previous answer, invoking the mathdesign package appears
to nullify any effect of the \uproot and \leftroot commands.

Well, you know that you only need to nest paragraphs of a different layout.
This is the case for _any_ LyX paragraph layout. So why would you want to
nest Frame layout into Frame layout? It does not need to be nested. What
needs to be nested is all content of other layout. Again: this is by no
means an exotism of beamer frame, this is how environments work in LyX.

Also, this is clearly documented in the Beamer manual to which I pointed
you several times, but you do not seem to be interested in reading it, so
here comes a quotation:

• Note that all frame content, if the style is not Frame, must be nested to
the frame environment (via Edit⇒Increase List Depth or Alt+Shift+Right)
• Nested content is marked by a red bar in the margin of the LyX workarea

Reading the beamer manual perhaps? Also, the shortcut is displayed in the
respective menu (Edit). And it is also documented generally in the LyX
manuals.

Lyx 2.1 in Debian

[Corrado Mencar]

Dear Lyx users,
   I recently passed to Debian (wheezy - testing) from a Ubuntu machine
where I installed Lyx 2.1. To my great surprise, I found that the current
Lyx version supported in Debian is v2.0.6 because the package seems no more
maintained since last summer (see http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lyx.html
).
   Unfortunately, as you may know, Lyx 2.1 generates lyx files that are
incompatible with Lyx 2.0.6. There is the export function but it is not
convenient when you work collaboratively with peers that use Lyx 2.1 (that
is my case).
   Apart from asking colleagues to downgrade to Lyx 2.0.x (with subsequent
complaints) is there any workaround to install Lyx 2.1 in Debian? Please
consider that the current lyx package maintainer is looking for a new
maintainer: if someone in the list is a Debian passionate/expert may
consider the invitation... that would be a great aid!

Corrado

If you wish, you can download the lyx2lyx conversion files from 
http://tinyurl.com/pjxcbfg and replace the ones you currently have

Of course: Compile it yourself. This is not hard to do.

creating my first lyx doc

[Barry Brent]

I'm new to LyX and I'm trying to create 
my first LyX document using the LyX Tutorial. 
I described 
my first try in an email to lyx-d...@lists.lyx.org 
as follows:

**
I’m running into trouble teaching myself how to 
use LyX from your document “The LyX Tutorial”.  

I just tried out the suggestions in section 2.1.1:

2.1.1 Typing, Viewing, and Exporting

Open a new file with File◃New

Type a sentence like: This is my first LYX document!

Save your document with File ◃ Save As.

Create a PDF file, with View◃View or the 
toolbar button . 
LYX will open a 
PDF-viewer program displaying your document 
as it will look when printed.3

Export the ready to print document with File ◃ Export 
to a format you want.

Congratulations! You have written your first LYX 
document. All of the rest is just details.



I got through the first three bullet points, but not the
fourth. (I’m using Mac OS 9.2.) In your pull-
down menu “View” there is no sub-option also
 called “View”. But there *is* an option called  
“Toolbars” within which I found an option called 
“View/Update”. That’s as close as I could come to 
“View◃View”. 


View/Update didn’t work. 
(No viewer was forthcoming.) 

*

The reply was as follows:

*

Which version are you using? 
You should have View>View (Other Formats) 
in 2.0.x (and it appears 
you are using the Tutorial from some such version). 
That has been moved to the Document menu 
(Document> View (Other Formats)) in 2.1.x. 
You should be able to choose PDF (pdflatex), e.g., off 
that menu.

FYI, these questions are better suited to the 
lyx-users list. This list is for discussion of problems 
with the documentation itself. 
Which maybe there is some here, but the 
main issues seem to be 
using the program.

*

As it happens I'm using version 2.1 with Mac OS 9. 
But in the Mac OS 9 version of Version 2.1, the 
menu

Document ◃ View (Other Formats) 

is empty. 

Please advise.

Thanks,
Barry Brent

Barry,

  I use linux, not OS X, but it should make no difference.

  I've never used the View menu to look at the compiled document. Instead, I
use Ctrl-x p (with the emacs keyboard layout). You can get to the same place
using Tools -> Preferences -> Editing -> Shortcuts -> Document/Window ->
Buffer-View DVI. Assign they keys you want (such as what I use) to that
function.

  The DVI viewer will pop up and display the document as it would be
compiled to a pdf with, for example, File -> Export -> pdflatex.

Did you install MacTeX prior to installing LyX? If so, then you might try
Reconfiguring LyX. I'm not sure where that is on the OSX menus. Here, it
is at Tools> Reconfigure, but it might be elsewhere for you. (OSX has its
own way of doing things.)

Actually, it is very odd that the menu is completely empty. LyX has certain
internal formats it can produce without external assistance, such as XHTML,
so you should at least see that, even if LaTeX is not installed.

Is that menu still empty if you check it when the Tutorial is open?

It is possible there is some Python issue. This has been reported on some
systems.

I'm going to cc the OSX developers and see if they have any ideas.

Re: Updated a .cls file

[Steve Burnham]

Forum, 

My university provides a .cls file that was last updated around 1998. I found a 
more up to date .cls file (2011) from another department. When I replace the 
old .cls file with the new one my document will no longer compile. It has 
something to do with the ERT at the beginning of the document. To me the error 
hints that something has been misspelled but I cannot find a spelling error and 
what it is pointing to is spelled the same in both .cls files. I’m including a 
link to a .zip file of an example with the new .cls  file so you can see the 
error it produces and also the old .cls file in an appropriately named folder  
in case it is of any help.

Yes, I was just about to add that. Thanks for the redirection. I am aware

I posted here first since my suspicion was that I wasn't asking LyX

LyX sets up babel and hyperref before the preamble kicks in. Also, in the  
end my goal(hope) is to have all these work in LyX with the actual

problem is with how I am using unicode...

Re: Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0

[Julio Rojas]

Dear Jürgen, there is no need for irony on your comments. Everybody is
doing an honest effort to work with the "new" Beamer environment.

You have quoted the behavior of other environments as the reference for the
"Frame" environment. If I am in a, for example, "Problem" environment and I
want to get out of it into the standard environment, all I have to do is
issue a couple of returns. This behavior is nowhere to be found in the
"Frame" environment, as I can issue as many returns as I wish and the UI
will accept them. This is, at least IMHO, a first in Lyx.

As for the behavior after getting out of the frame title, what Neal was
explaining is related to the previous paragraph. After issuing return
outside of the frame title, another return should get you to the standard
environment. Then issuing a tab would indent this standard environment into
the "Frame" environment and you can keep working. This is the behavior I
was expecting from my experience with Lyx and all sorts of environments. In
this moment, you can issue as many returns as you wish and Lyx would keep
adding empty white lines of a "Frame" environment. This behavior is not
only annoying and useless, to say the least, but also is nowhere to be
found in other environments.

I hope that you understand our concerns.

Regards.
