I don't think that peer-reviewed academic publication is going to
vanish anytime soon; and, over about the last decade, I've observed
journals continuing to transition from accepting manuscripts in the
form of Word .DOCs and the like to insisting upon LaTeX files.  LyX is
the best WYSIWY_ editor that I've found for creating such files.  That
has made it of _increasing_ relevance, though its relevance may be
alien to your particular purposes.

A WYSIWY_ editor may some day be published that is of more general
purpose and still able to generate decent LaTeX.  But, until that
time, or until academic publishers begin moving away from LaTeX, LyX
will hold its relevance very nicely.

Re: LyX on iPad

[Anders Host-Madsen]

I have not really figured out how to properly reply to the mailing list. 
Hopefully this ends up the right place.
First, I tried rollapp.com. It’s not too bad, in fact. The interface is not 
touch optimized, but one can use the Apple Pencil to click the small icons. A 
little slow. Perhaps OK if one wants to run LyX on iPad occasionally, but then 
kind of expensive to subscribe; on the other hand, if one wants to use it 
often, the interface becomes too cumbersome and slow. So, not a real solution.
With respect to what I want to do: I would like to be able to edit a LyX 
document when I’m on the go. I might have a LyX document started on my 
computer, but then when I’m out I would like to continue to edit on the iPad, 
and then later on my computer again.
One possibility is of course to convert the lyx document to latex, edit it 
there, and then convert back to LyX on computer. But as we know, things do get 
lost in the conversion back and forth between LyX and LaTeX.

Re: LyX on iPad

Steve if there was a correctly working and useful Linux or Windows tablet, I 
would buy it for LyX because it is very relevant to me. Unfortunately, iPad is 
only usable tablet today from my point of view (I have tried a Lenovo tablet 
under Windows 10, it was unusable as a tablet, unfortunately Linux does not 
drivers for it). I have had to buy a small Macbook just because of this.

A naive question on Latex -> semantic XML: is it possible if one starts from 
Latex? My question is the compatibility of the Latex structure (which has been 
created with a specific objective) with such an output, I suppose. I am 
completely ignorant on this topic and I know that you have been struggling with 
this issue over the years, hence my question.

Re: How to force tex2lyx to read unicode (from within Lyx)?

[Baris Erkus]

Well, seems like file->import simply calls tex2lyx.exe without any 
option such as "-e UTF8". It should not be very difficult to let the 
user enter his choice of options...

I can reproduce the incorrect LaTeX import, and also Vim says the file
encoding is "utf-8". I can also reproduce with LyX 2.1.0, so it appears
it is not a recent regression. Hopefully someone who knows more will
have an idea.

Oh gosh, yes, how on earth could it be that someone has good reasons for
doing something that you haven't thought of? :-) In fact, however, I
mentioned one of the main reasons in my original email, viz., that LyX runs
so well under Linux, better in fact than it does under MacOS, at the moment
anyway. Here are two specifics for you:

   1. LyX 2.3.1 for MacOS currently suffers from a very annoying bug that
   prevents boldface fonts from rendering inside the app. So any use of bold —
   in a heading, subheading, etc or for emphasis or for use in mathmode
   doesn't show up, often forcing one often to check whether one has actually
   formatted the text in question as bold or not. (The formatting does show up
   correctly in LyX-generated PDFs.)
   2. LyX is lightning fast under Linux, even in a VM, much faster than the
   MacOS version on my 2014 iMac. Documents simply compile and display more
   quickly. But a particularly dramatic case of this is forward search. For
   some reason, in LyX 2.3.1 for MacOS on my iMac, the first use of forward
   search takes 5-10 seconds before my PDF viewer (Skim) finds the
   corresponding spot in the document. Subsequent searches are faster, but
   still laggy. Under Linux they are nearly instantaneous.

So just those two alone make using LyX under Linux in a VM much more
enjoyable. Additionally, the integration with MacOS is superb — I have a
full screen KDE environment running in its own desktop (which is how I like
to work anyway, with related tasks clustered in their own desktops) and, by
means of symbolic links, I have complete access to my MacOS file system, so
that I can edit exactly the same file in either MacOS or Linux; the
experience is utterly seamless. Finally, and not incidentally, since I have
been using Linux since 1996 (mostly just as a server for the last ten
years), it's an environment I'm extremely comfortable in.

One final note, re "X-Windows or what not". The X Window System is simply
the standard windowing system/display server for Linux and most other unix
systems. MacOS has one, too; it's called the Quartz Compositor. So does
Windows; it's called the Desktop Window Manager.

Cheers!

Perhaps this is why LyX becomes less relevant every year. Here, in
2018, LyX *still* cannot produce an semantically reasonable ePub,  and
even the semantically unreasonable ePubs require tons of human
intervention. LyX can't produce docs easily readable on iPads and other
portable devices because no ePub (and thus no Kindle). A decade ago it
was decided to make the (then) easily parsable LyX native format into
XML, but the transition stopped halfway, so it's unparseable by XML
parsers, and yet it's miserable to parse with a Python program.

And all this while, where's the priority? LyX for Retina displays. LyX
for iPad (like anyone is capable of pounding out 2K words per day with
an iPad). All sorts of lilly-gilding, but LyX still can't do a
reasonable job of exporting the format used by portable devices, and
LyX' native format is still a jumble unparsable by an XML parser.

I have nothing against Apple afficianados getting their every dream,
but if there's not the programmer-power to do everything, then for gosh

Re: Most efficient way to import wide, long table

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Somehow my reply from the iPad Newsreader got lost.

Why not include R Chunks generating tables and/or graphics at PDF
generation in the LyX file using the knitr module?

After a chunk with something like (for MySQL/MariaDB)

suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(RMySQL))
library(RMySQL)
drv = dbDriver("MySQL")
con = dbConnect(drv, host = "dbh.sub.TLD",
dbname = "db",
user = "usr",
password = "pssw"
)
allvars = data.table(dbGetQuery(con, statement = "select * from table"))

put into a chunk (inside a float) something like:

alltable = xtable(allvars,
align = "|r|r|rrr|rrr|rr|",
label = 'alltable',
caption = 'THis is a Caption',
digits = c(0,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2)
)
print(alltable,
only.contents = T,
hline.after=c(0:nrow(allvars)),
include.colnames = F,
include.rownames = F,
floating = F
)

Put ERT before and after the chunk (inside the float) sorting out the
headers and footers.

Once having figures out the syntax for the exat SQL and xtable, this is
certainly more efficient than any manual intervention, however little
:-)-O.

Re: LyX on iPad

What is it that you want to do?

Type text into LyX, or generate PDF?

If the former, Markdown might be an alternative, and then generating
LaTeX with pandoc and from there with tex2lyx to LyX proper.  This will
work out of the box on Linux and Mac, but I have no idea about Windoze.

That is a disappointment.  Given Android's start as an offshoot of

How to force tex2lyx to read unicode (from within Lyx)?

[Baris Erkus]

Hello,

I am trying to import the a .tex  file into LyX (using file->import). 
The file has Turkish characters and I believe it is using UTF8 encoding. 
When I import it, it does not show Turkish characters properly. I 
attached the file for your play-around.

When I import the file on the command line with the UTF8 option tex2lyx 
-e UTF8 ch1.tex, the LyX file looks just fine except one or two characters.

So is there a way to tell to tex2lyx to use UTF8 encoding from within 
LyX? This issue is occured when I import a tex file that has 
\input{ch1.tex} in it. So, maybe LyX has and option to force tex2lyx to 
read in UTF8 for all imports?

I found exactly same question on this post, but the answers seem to be

LyX and Git

[Baris Erkus]

Hello,

Anybody has experience with Git on Lyx?

I am trying to understand what I can and cannot do with the Version 
Control toolbar of LyX if git is initialized and initial commit is 
performed.

1. Looks like I can do commits with the toolbar with the up arrow, 
called check-in. I can also call back the previous commit but seems like 
uncommitted changes are lost forever, which is a very dangerous operation.

2. I also see the comparison tool is working nicely.

3. So my question is -for example- can I call any older commit using 
check-out (down arrow) button? After that can I go back to a newer 
commit after reverting to an older commit?

4. I am guessing the register button (OK check) does do anything if Git 
is used.

5. If the toolbar capabilities are limited, of course we can use the 
command-line or a GUI Git tool for other operations, but it would be 
nice to have it built-in the LyX. Maybe I can open a request ticket for 
that, if there is not any.

Any suggestions, ideas?
