Multi-page table in landscape mode
Reading Chapter 2 (Tables) in the embedded objects help manual I see an example of a table with the line, 'continued on next page,' but no instruction on how to insert that. The manual notes that lyx/LaTeX/TeX will break the table across multiple pages but that's not occurring here. When I compile the file (pdflatex) the table runs off the bottom of the page; all 83 lines are on the same page, but (of course) not all are visible. Clarification of how to get lyx to insert page breaks, or how to do so manually, will be really helpful. The second issue I've not yet resolved is rotating only the table into landscape mode. I am not seeing a menu item that does this. Clicking on a table cell, selecting 'settings' at the bottom of the menu box, and checking the 'rotate table' checkbox turns it clockwise rather than counter-clockwise and it's still trying to fit on a single page. IIRC, this needs to be done with inserted LaTeX. Reading Herbert Voss' Tables book is on this evening's schedule. If I've missed the proper menu and item to change table page(s) orientation to landscape please point me to it. Regards, Rich
Re: Most efficient way to import wide, long table
For automation, I include a tex file within Lyx. I then create all of my latex tables using python or whatever. It produces valid latex. This is very hard to do without a heavy level of conformity. For example, I can write a quick script that will take 95 rows of 4 column data quite quickly. I have a very hard time figuring out how to make a latex table with 95 rows of a variable number of columns. Even better, multiple tables with multiple numbers of columns. Eventually, you would have to give it the number of columns to produce. Once you have python producing your latex table, you can simply rerun your Lyx and it will include the documents. If you have multiple tables, include a master tex table file in Lyx and update it with the python generated tables. BTW, I did this for my dissertation with remarkable success. This is a very difficult task. I would just import into Excel, break into columns on "|" and copy it into Lyx.

Baris, The two critical pieces I missed before were steps 1 and 4. Using tabs and paste special did the job. Many of the tables I use in a lyx document are generated by sql extraction from a database table, an R function, or cleaned data in emacs. While I've tried bulk copying without using tabs and paste special I did not get the results needed. Many thanks for the lesson. Best regards, Rich

Rich, it depends entirely on what you mean by efficient. There are a number of hits on https://www.google.de/search?q=csv2lyx If you wanted a command line workflow there are number of tools to convert CSV into LaTeX, which you can import easily. Some can use '|' as separator directly, some need a little bit of piping or a Makefile. greetings, el On 2018-10-30 16:50 , Rich Shepard wrote: [...] > What is the most efficient procedure to import this to a 5-column, > 83-row table?

Re: Most efficient way to import wide, long table
Oh. My apologies. LibreOffice or Excel can split text based on a character. In this case, I would bring your text into excel, split to columns on | and copy it into a defined table within Lyx. Lyx accepts Excel "copy and paste" as long as you have the table already defined. You would want Excel to create your columns for you. This shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

Re: Most efficient way to import wide, long table
Create a table that is 5 columns and 84 rows (assuming you want a header). Copy from excel into the table. You can specify rows and columns of your table. Next comes orientation. From the table, select properties and I would chose fancy table options, long table, and then orient the page as landscape.

This is weird. Maybe some junk from the imported, scanned document? I'll test

You can also try whether making a copy of your problem document and

I need to insert some text in an equation. Two options:

* \mathrm{text}
With \text{}, space is automatically handled. With \mathrm{}, I need to use the
escape character (backslash) to get space. There are probably also some spacing
differences -- I assume \text{} is the correct choice if I write text and not
math.
There is a problem with \text{} if I use Instant preview *on*...: if I include character
"ø" in the text string, it shows if I turn Instant preview *off*, but is
removed if I turn Instant preview *off*.
The generated PDF file *includes* the symbol "ø", but ... it does not show up

Presumably, this is a problem with other non-English ASCII characters, too?

I cannot reproduce the problem. The ø in the attached file shows with instant

RE: LyX 2.3.1: bug in "\text" mode of equations
Hm... I opened a new document of the template, and in this new template, the
preview works. But it does not work in another document from the same template,
where I'm in the process of inserting text from an OCR scanned paper copy of a
document I wrote 30 years ago... (using Adobe Acrobat for OCR).
This is weird. Maybe some junk from the imported, scanned document? I'll test
some more.

So what style are you using? Can you send a (somewhat) minimal document where
the problem occurs?

That is the latest version and the same I am using.
(There might have been a misunderstanding. I thought you menat your Windows
version by "latest version" but I guess you did mean LyX. The information I
sent was on the Windows version I am using.)

I cannot reproduce the problem. The ø in the attached file shows with instant

This is on Windows 10 Pro 64bit version 17134.345. ("latest version" is a bit ambigous

This is on Windows 10 Pro 64bit version 17134.345. ("latest version" is a bit
ambigous since there are different update tracks and the recently pulled
"October 2018 Update".)

LyX 2.3.1: bug in "\text" mode of equations
I use LyX 2.3.1 (64bit) on 64bit Win 10, latest version, and have Instant
preview turned on.
I need to insert some text in an equation. Two options:
* \text{my text}
* \mathrm{text}
With \text{}, space is automatically handled. With \mathrm{}, I need to use the
escape character (backslash) to get space. There are probably also some spacing
differences -- I assume \text{} is the correct choice if I write text and not
math.
There is a problem with \text{} if I use Instant preview *on*...: if I include
character "ø" in the text string, it shows if I turn Instant preview *off*, but
is removed if I turn Instant preview *off*.
The generated PDF file *includes* the symbol "ø", but ... it does not show up
in the preview with Instant preview turned *on*.
Presumably, this is a problem with other non-English ASCII characters, too?
