 Dear all
 
 Lyx is running on a mac os X tiger computer. Evrything is fine except the
 viewers. I have big difficulties to set up the dvi viewer (macdvi does not
 seem to be installed, no xdvi). what can I do ??

Install MacDVI :), reconfigure LyX, change the viewer (File Format
DVI) in LyX to open. 

If you prefer PostScript (PS) output with the X11 apllication gv,
this works (around) for me:

\viewer ps open -a X11 ; sleep 5 ; ps aux|grep gv|grep -v grep || gv

Install MacDVI :), reconfigure LyX, change the viewer (File Format
DVI) in LyX to "open". 

If you prefer PostScript (PS) output with the X11 apllication "gv",

 I eventually figured out the magical incantation. I export to LaTeX  
 and then run:
 latex myfile
 bibtex myfile
 latex myfile
 latex myfile
 htlatex myfile html
 
 This works in terms of making the bibliography work but now I have a  
 ligatures problem! All my fi's and such are being turned into funky  
 HTML characters. I found the thread http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx- 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg35556.html but when I tried the listed options  
 the resulting HTML file still had the screwed up characters.

There's nothing wrong with HTML entities in HTML code -- they are
perfectly standard compliant. You just have to make sure they are the
right ones. 

The messages you're referring to is not about HTML entities. You
could run the output through a filter like tr or sed to replace these
if you can't find the htlatex options that suit you. Or try a
different converter like latex2html, hevea, xhlatex.

 I can perfectly add some word to this personal word list from outside of

 If i try it from within lyx the situation is that lyx know all new words 
 cocoaspell leared outside of lyx, but it will not add any new words.
 
 I think the add button is simply not working in my case. 
 So all the problems before result in an not working add funktion within 
 lyx.
 
 Anybody a clue?
 
 Using :
 
 OsX 10.4.2
 Lyx 1.3.6
 CocoAspell 2.02 (Apspell 6.0)

Looks like an error in your configuration files. Move all of them out
of the way! In LyX, leave the personal dictionary field blank. Add a
word, and ~/.aspell*pws should be created.

There is. 

You need to install the dictionary/-ies.

1. Select aspell (not ispell) in the LyX Preferences dialog, save.

2. In Terminal.app,

  cd /Library/Application\ Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-en-6.0-0
  sudo ./configure  sudo make
  sudo make install

and repeat steps 2 and 3 likewise for each additional dictionary you
want to install.

 Hello everybody,

Hallo Bernd!

 No (not even one!) single document type is available. I can open my

 specified in that document (like book, article etc.) is not  
 available and therefore LyX will not be able to produce any output -

There's something wrong with your LaTeX installation. First of all,
run sudo texhash in Terminal.app. It will output the paths of your
TeX installation. Then, make sure you've got read/execute permissions
on the directories the texhash output shows. For example: 

$ ls -l /opt/share/texmf

(the important permissions are marked; additional w's are optional)
It's crucial these permission also apply to enclosed files and
folders. If yours differ, correct them recursively, then run texhash
again.

In LyX, you should probably also specify a $PATH prefix in
Preferences. Use the path you can get from which latex.

And finally, run Edit/Bearbeiten Reconfigure in LyX, and restart

2005-10-07 Thread Andre Berger 
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED], 2005-10-07 07:16 +0200:
[...]
 About hyphens: I need to write the most part of my
 docs in portuguese and some in spanish langs. But the
 LaTeX always hyphenize the document. It is great, and
 it always do it correctly in english, but sometimes it
 is wrong in portuguese, like cat-egoria (the right
 way is ca-te-go-ri-a. Well, I know it is easy put
 manual hyphen on each critical words, but I need some
 easy way to do it --- once the Lyx purpose is the user
 'do his best text, and let the Lyx work on the
 format', it's nonsense to correct the LaTeX
 hyphenation. :)
 
 Any sugestions? Maybe some resource to turn off
 the LaTeX hyphenation job?

First of all, make use of LyX's ability to switch between languages
(Layout  Character  Language).

Due to the complex structure of languages, (La)TeX cannot always
guess the correct hyphenation from formal criteria, so an exception
list list is hard to avoid. You can define a system-wide exception
list you can source in all your documents.

  \input{myhypenation}\allowhyphens % make sure TeX can find it

in the preamble, and a world-read/writable file like

  /opt/texmf-local/tex/latex/myhphenation.tex

depending on your LaTeX installation, which contains entries like

  ca-te-go-ri-a
  a-ir-og-et-ac

Making these exceptions language-dependant, as you would probably
need with two languages related as closely, is possible, but more
work, read the babel docs.

If you really really want to turn off hyphenation completely, read

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/398e50ec74253db/27d2e39b3a12a3dc%2327d2e39b3a12a3dc?sa=Xoi=groupsrstart=1num=3

 About hyphens: I need to write the most part of my
 docs in portuguese and some in spanish langs. But the
 LaTeX always hyphenize the document. It is great, and
 it always do it correctly in english, but sometimes it
 is wrong in portuguese, like cat-egoria (the right
 way is ca-te-go-ri-a. Well, I know it is easy put
 manual hyphen on each critical words, but I need some
 easy way to do it --- once the Lyx purpose is the user
 'do his best text, and let the Lyx work on the
 format', it's nonsense to correct the LaTeX
 hyphenation. :)
 
 Any sugestions? Maybe some resource to turn off
 the LaTeX hyphenation job?

First of all, make use of LyX's ability to switch between languages
(Layout  Character  Language).

Due to the complex structure of languages, (La)TeX cannot always
guess the correct hyphenation from formal criteria, so an exception
list list is hard to avoid. You can define a system-wide exception
list you can source in all your documents.

  \input{myhypenation}\allowhyphens % make sure TeX can find it

in the preamble, and a world-read/writable file like

  /opt/texmf-local/tex/latex/myhphenation.tex

depending on your LaTeX installation, which contains entries like

  ca-te-go-ri-a
  a-ir-og-et-ac

Making these exceptions language-dependant, as you would probably
need with two languages related as closely, is possible, but more
work, read the babel docs.

If you really really want to turn off hyphenation completely, read

 From your description, it sounds like you may not have specified the  
 pdflatex viewer correctly.
 
 Go to Preferences.  Under File Formats select PDF (pdflatex) and in  
 the Viewer field enter:
 
 open -a 'Preview'

open also works:

\format pdf pdf PDF (-- pdflatex) 
\viewer pdf open

 If you use Preview or Acrobat, then the Update item under the  
 View menu will not work.  Each time you want to view the changes  
 that you have to made to your document, you will first have to close  
 the results of the previous typeset run in Preview or Acrobat, and

For an "easy" conversion, put these into your LyX preferences file:

\converter "latex" "sxw" "oolatex $$i" "latex"
\format "sxw" "sxw" "OpenOffice" ""
\viewer "sxw" "open"

resp. /path/to/ooo instead of "open" if you're not on Mac OS X.

BTW, how would you represent 

htlatex yourdocument.tex "xhtml,ooffice" "ooffice/! -cmozhtf" "-coo"
 ^^^

in a LyX preference file?

You need to install the dictionary/-ies.

1. Select aspell (not ispell) in the LyX Preferences dialog, save.

2. In Terminal.app, 

  cd /Library/Application\ Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-en-6.0-0
  sudo ./configure

Hallo Thomas!

 Hello !
 
 I have installed Lyx and it`s a really nice program. So i would like 
 write my diploma with Lyx.
 
 But i have some problems with citation. I use for my references 
 pybliographic (a bibtex frontend)
 So i download my references with pybliographic from pubmed. I save it to 
 a *.bib file.
 Than I have two ways to make a citation from pybliographic to Lyx. First 
 i put citate on pybliographic and over a lyxpipe i get a field in my Lyx 
 dokument with the Citate, but this is emty and if i make DVI-File, i see 
 a ? on this point.
 The other way is to generate a *.bib file with pybliographic and than i 
 go to the end of the Lyx dokument, ( I followed the instruction in the 
 Lyx Tuturial). Over insert List -- Bibtex Reference i choose the *.bib 
 file which i generated in pybliographic. Than i would like insert a 
 Citate over --insert--citate. But there i can not choose anything. The 
 window with citations is empty.
 
 So Both ways doesn`t work. But for me it`s important to work with 
 citation. I have a lot (120-150).

Das nennst du viele? ;)

 I used Openoffice2 and bibus (but bibus doesn`t work). In my case the 
 best program is a windows program (Endnote) with works perfect with word.
 But i don`t like Windows , i use Linux (Debian -- Kanotix) and would 
 like write my diploma in Linux.
 
 Thanks for helping me!
 
 It`s possible for anybody to answer me in german?

Mapping the Euro sign

Hi there,

I'm on LyX 1.3.6/Mac OS X Tiger, and would like to map the Euro sign

would like to insert this command as ERT when hitting the Mac
keystroke Option-Shift-2 (US-keyboard). Is that possible?

 It's not that easy.
 We have to check if mathpazo is available, if not, fall back to mathpple, if 
 that is not available, fall back to palatino (same for mathptmx - mathptm - 
 times). And maybe generate a warning if a document is processed on a system 
 where an obsolete font package has to be used.
 Also we have to think about what to do with the sans serif and courier 
 families. It's certainly not a good idea to hardcode them.
 
 The whole output fonts handling of LyX needs an overhaul. But that will 
 presumerably not happen before v. 1.5.

I see, thanks for the explanation.

 You can use the keyboard's Euro Symbol directly if you change the encoding of 
 (n)german to iso8859-15 in lib/languages (you still need to load textcomp 
 manually). It's a bit of a hassle though. Have a look at the archives, the 
 problem has been discussed several times.

Now that you mention it, there used to be a GUI encoding setting in
previous versions of LyX I had set to latin9, but it's no longer
available.
