AMS article and sequential numbering
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
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
Re: LyX 1.5.1 temp dir
Thanks; no, no preview was done. In fact, all I did was to type in hello. save the document, and then exit. On Aug 16, 2007, at 10:57 AM, Paul A.

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. /Paul A Scottedward Hodel, PhD, Associate Professor Dept.

Article class with theorems (layout file)
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
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?
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
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.

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.

Re: Margins in Lyx 1.4.0
I've adjusted margins in Document -> Settings -> Page Margins on
Panther (Powerbook G3 and a G4 Cube) and on Tiger (iMac G5). This is
probably a different procedure than you're used to. I've not used
earlier versions of LyX.

Hi,
I've recently upgraded to Lyx 1.4.0 on Mac OS X on my iBook but one
thing I miss from the 1.3.x releases is the ability to set 'small
margins' or 'very small margins' in the Document settings. Can I
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
very small margins settings.
I've been looking around in the settings but I can't find a simple
way to do this. I've tried using the \usepackage{layout} and
\layout in the document to see what the difference between the
small margins and very small margins settings are in 1.3.7 but both
report the same layout page.
Thanks for your help,

Lyx computer algebra system
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.
