Dear JMarc,

my question was just a LaTeX question. I thought that there are some
LaTeX experts on the LyX list and therefore asked. 

BTW thanks a lot to the whole development team for the new LyX
version. Great software !!

LaTeX internals question (maybe OT)

2002-06-06 Thread Frank Derichsweiler

Dear LaTeX experts within the LyX community,

I have a problem with the LaTeX \newenvironment command.
I can define my new environment and it works fine, but there is one
problem. If I write (LaTeX mode)

\begin{myenvironment}
Some text in the environment
\end{myenvironment}%
following text

I always get an implict \par in front of the following text
text. The whole document requires a \parskip-value  0, therefore
setting it to 0cm does not work. I tried to reset it within the
environment and the newenvironment, but that does not work.
Adding a \vspace*{-\parskip} seems _very_ _ugly_.

Any help appreciated.
Frank

PS
Background of the Problem: I need an itemize environment with just
normal spacing, i.e.:

text before
 - an item
 - another item
text afer

The normal environment produces:

text before

 - an item
 - another item

text afer

By setting topsep and partopsep I got:

text before
 - an item
 - another item

text afer

You can use the fancy-header LaTeX package. The Pagestyle fancy in the

unfortunately I do not have access to that command right now :(

Have you looked at vmware ( http://www.vmware.com gives oportunity to

Vlad,

Have you looked at vmware ( http://www.vmware.com gives oportunity to
download trial version)? With that tool you can run another OS "in a
window". You can use your win*#&$ software and use Linux as OS for
running lyx. 
I do not have any experience with the win*#&$ port, therefore I can
not give any advice, but the Linux version is IMHO a killer app.

 Excuse for German posting.

 Horst installed LyX 1.1.6 and KLyx on SuSE 7.0, he can start the programs.
 Printing does not work (other programs can print)
 Error message is

"Converting from latex to dvi

 Running

 Within the xterm Window he gets

 Same problem with KLyx.

Hi Horst,

a simple but important question: how did you install the LyX 1.1.6?
AFAIK SuSE ships lyx-1.1.4p3 and on the SuSE FTP Server there is no
update to 1.1.6. (Yes I know there are rpms from third party but ...)

From with directory do you start LyX? Did you try to save the .lyx
file first?
For me it looks like a problem with permissions within the filesystem
to create the LaTeX DVI file and therefore there is "nothing" to
print.
You can try to export a .ps of your document and then print it from
the shell.

Now a short german Translation:

 Excuse for German posting.

 Horst installed LyX 1.1.6 and KLyx on SuSE 7.0, he can start the programs.
 Printing does not work (other programs can print)
 Error message is

"Converting from latex to dvi

 Running

 sh: ./Datei: Keine Berechtigung
 No rights

 ...

 dvips: ! DVI file can`t be opened"

 Within the xterm Window he gets

"apsfilter: unsupported filetype"

 Same problem with KLyx.

Hi Horst,

a simple but important question: how did you install the LyX 1.1.6?
AFAIK SuSE ships lyx-1.1.4p3 and on the SuSE FTP Server there is no
update to 1.1.6. (Yes I know there are rpms from third party but ...)

From with directory do you start LyX? Did you try to save the .lyx
file first?
For me it looks like a problem with permissions within the filesystem
to create the LaTeX DVI file and therefore there is "nothing" to
print.
You can try to export a .ps of your document and then print it from
the shell.

Now a short german Translation:

IMHO you should use a version-tool like RCS or CVS.

CVS can show differences between two versions of a document, becoming
familiar with the LyX format gives clues what has changed...
IIRC within LyX there is a sub menu for version control issues.

Hi Joeri,

that is all right. Lyx uses its own format in the .lyx files. You have
to use the Export as LaTeX feature in order to produce a file which
can be fed into LaTeX.
Alternative: having a .lyx file you just open it with lyx and use the
view PS function.
