AMS article and sequential numbering

2009-02-17 Thread A S
I've recently started using LyX 1.6.1 and discovered that my AMS
article documents now all have sequential numbering of theorems and
lemmas. In previous version one could choose between standard AMS
article, and sequentially numbered, but now there is only one option.
I searched the mail list archive and release notes, but have not found
any discussion about this. Can somebody clarify the situation?

Best regards,
Alex


Problems with Instant Preview in 1.6.0

2008-11-13 Thread A S
Hi,

Instant Preview doesn't work well for me with LyX 1.6.0. It only
displays certain parts of the maths formulas. In contrast, LyX 1.5.3
never had a problem with this (although some earlier versions did, as
well).
Can this be fixed somehow? Howcome it works with 1.5.3 but not 1.6.0
running on the same system?

Regards,
Alex

Thanks; no, no preview was done.  In fact, all I did was to type in

hello.

save the document, and then exit.

When I get this error, it's usually because I'm exiting LyX (or 
perhaps closing a document) while I still have yap or Acrobat Reader 
viewing the document.  So the temporary document file (.dvi or .pdf) 
can't be deleted because the viewer has it locked, which means the 
folder can't be deleted.


Your directory listing shows the temp directory empty, so if you did 
the listing right after getting the error message (without exiting a 
viewer, closing LyX, etc.) then that's not the explanation.

Article class with theorems (layout file)

2007-05-31 Thread A S

Dear All,

I am using the document class "article (AMS, sequential numbering)".
This gives me a drop-down menu from which I can select environments
Theorem, Corollary, Lemma, Proof, etc. However, I do not want to use
the amsart document class but the normal class article and still have
access to the expanded drop-down menu with Theorem, Corollary, Lemma,
and so on.

Has anyone written layout files that combine the normal article class
with the expanded drop-down menu?

Thanks in advance,

Alex


Instant preview in 1.5.0 under Win Vista

2007-05-18 Thread A S

Hi, I have just installed LyX 1.5.0 beta (from
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre), under Windows Vista, but instant
preview does not behave as normal. If I start writing a new document,
maths is shown with instant preview, but if I load a previously
written document, the formulas don't change, even if I go in and out
of a formula. Moreover, even when I get instant preview, "big" symbols
like integrals, sums, and products don't show up.
Is this an issue with LyX, Vista, or both?

Regards,
Alex


Re: How to write an algebra textbook?

2007-05-11 Thread A S Hodel
I consistently use Math Mode; once I set up/learned the keyboard  
shortcuts to insert parenthesis and arrays, the speed of entry is  
comparable to directly typing math equations in LaTeX, which is far  
faster than a point-and-click approach.


LyX-Code is definitely a poor option.

Symbols for multiplication: depends on the age of the student.  If  
we're looking at starting algebra, 8th or 9th grade (13-14 years  
old), then I recall multiplication symbols being omitted.   
Alternatively, you can use the \times or \cdot symbols (which will  
transform to their correct symbols in Math Mode).

Speaking of that, what should I use as a multiplication symbol --  
x, X, *, or

something else?

Re: Consecutive math environments

2007-01-15 Thread A S Hodel
This is handled in the beamer class with a "separator."  I haven't  
looked at the structure of this command to see how it works; I ought  
to, though, because I've had the same frustration as you.


One workaround: put a "\par" command in ERT in a "Standard"  
environment between the two definitions.  I don't know how that will  
change spacing between the environments in the printed document, but  
it should achieve the desired effect.


Yours,

Hi,

I want to have two instances of the same math environment without
separation. Eg:

Definition 1.3 (foo)
Definition 1.4 (foo2)

However, the two definitions merge into a single one. This can be  
very
handy in some situations, but it's not what I'm looking for. I  
googled

and found this was already a problem in LyX 1.1's days, and it can be
solved by inserting some dummy environment (LyX-Note) between.

Has any better solution been developed?

I think enhancement requests have been filed along these lines, but I
don't know their status.

I've adjusted margins in Document -> Settings -> Page Margins on

probably a different procedure than you're used to.  I've not used

I've recently upgraded to Lyx 1.4.0 on Mac OS X on my iBook but one

replicate this using the 1.4.0 release, if so, how? I know I can  
supply my own custom margins but I would like to use the small and

I've been looking around in the settings but I can't find a simple

\layout in the document to see what the difference between the

report the same layout page.


Thanks for your help,

What language are you using for the GUI?


English.


What happens if you create a new user account and run LyX from there?


I'll need some time to get an opportunity to properly exercise that 
kind of test.  I'll report back ASAP.

Lyx computer algebra system

2006-03-30 Thread A S Hodel
I've started using LyX 1.4.0 on mac os X during the last week and I  
am slowly coming to like it a lot!  While working in the MathEd mode,  
I noticed that the Edit menu has the option:

   Edit->Math->Use Computer Algebra System -> [several choices here]
where the choices include Octave, Maple, Mathematica, and Macsyma.
I was unable to find the phrase "computer algebra system" in the  
documentation.  As an avid Octave user, I am curious to know how this  
feature of LyX can be used.
