Re: Fwd: exercise support in LyX
I'm away from my lyx setup now, so my reply will be out of memory.
Have had some problems with your preamble:
\Newassociation{sol}{Svar}{ans}
{\theorembodyfont{\upshape} \newtheorem{uppg}{Uppgift}}
\newenvironment{ug}{\begin{uppg}\normalfont}{\end{uppg}}
Which gave an Undefined control sequence. error:
{\theorembodyfont
{\upshape} \newtheorem{uppg}{Uppgift}}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
This example from the answers package documentation works:
\Newassociation{sol}{Solution}{ans}
\newtheorem{ex}{Exercise}
I might have missed something in the copy process. But if that works for you,
great!
Also can't get the bind file to be recognized by lyx. I created a
myShortcuts.bind file in ~/.lyx/bind with the text you gave. And I put the
layouts text in ~/.lyx/layout/myLayout.layout. But LyX didn't seem to pick
them up automatically. Tried Tools - Reconfigure and restarted LyX but
that made no difference either.
Ah, perhaps you should add an include line in the bind file that is used by
default. cua.bind perhaps?

Re: Fwd: exercise support in LyX
What do other people use for exercises? And will this ever be built into
LyX? I have to use ERT to get exercise.sty working.
I use
\usepackage{answers}
To get it working more easy, I put the stuff below into my lyx configuration
files. With this I can just press M-g u to insert an exercise, and then M-g
a to insert ERT (two greyblocks) so I can write the answer between the grey
blocks.
I'm sorry for the bad explaination of how it works, but I'm quite satisfied
with it.
Here is the stuff I use:
---
in the LaTeX preamble
\Newassociation{sol}{Svar}{ans}
{\theorembodyfont{\upshape} \newtheorem{uppg}{Uppgift}}
\newenvironment{ug}{\begin{uppg}\normalfont}{\end{uppg}}
and in the bind files

\bind M-g a command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \begin{sol};
next-inset-toggle; ert-insert; self-insert \end{sol}; next-inset-toggle;

PgUp/PgDn problem
Hi. i've tried the 1.5.0. RC2 in Windows and I noticed that the PgUp/PgDn keys on the keyboard doesn't move all the way to the start/end when I place the cursor in the middle of a short file. The keys works fine in longer files, but even there, when I get close to the start/end of the file, it doesn't move any further. Has anyone noticed this?

Re: Math book tips?
1. Your book will have to be different from any I have read. Correct, otherwise there is no point in writing the book. 3. On reflection, most maths books are impenetrable because they go from the general to the particular. My belief is that paedagogically the reverse works better: Use a concrete example as an introduction to an abstract concept. Very good suggestion. Let me add 4. Answer the question why. Why should I care what 2x+3x is? 5. Make it stick together. Many books seem to not be concerned with that and chapter N+1 is very little connected to chapter N. This is most likeley for books that covers many topics, but I think this point is important.

Re: LyX is wonderful -- thank you!
Hi Steve, I took your praise and placed a copy on the relevant page on the wiki: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Praise /Christian PS. I'm forwarding this to the developers' list, it's good to remember now and then that LyX is really appreciated :-) While on the subject of praising LyX I can only say that I can't imagine me writing the book I'm doing right now (soon 500 pages and still not finished) with any other tool. I've used it since the beginning (1997-ish) and it has really evolved into the only real tool for writing. All problems (almost) I've had has been solved by LyX and the both wise and helpful people on this list! Thanks. One of the problems I've reported to bugzilla was fixed a few days ago also. I can't imagine that happen with any other tool! So big thanks to the developer also! The remaining problems are pure LaTeX problems and that pdflatex is beeing a little slow on generating postscript for preview when you have 500 pages. Then 2-3 seconds feels like an eternity ;-) Gunnar

Re: Embedding highlighed external source code files in a LyX document
Do both of these approaches work OK with producing sane-looking HTML as well as PDFs?

Re: Embedding highlighed external source code files in a LyX document
I know that this has 'been done' but I'm not sure how to go about it myself. I would like to link to an external source code file and 'pull it in' to my compiled document when I use pdflatex. I would like to apply source code highlighting, although that's not essential (the language I'm using is not one that is supported by any of the tools). What language? Highlight manages over 120 of them. I worked out how to import external code, but not how to maintain a link. Do I need to use ERT? Can LyX be set to use 'highlight' on-the-fly as for graphics formats, or must I prepare the latex by hand? Here are how I do it. When setup, it works automatically. http://www.taljaren.se/MinLyXTutorial.html (same as pdf) http://www.taljaren.se/MinLyXTutorial.pdf
Re: Embedding highlighed external source code files in a LyX document

Re: Embedding highlighed external source code files in a LyX document
Could you consider putting this in the Wiki?
I answer again.
Yes, I can consider it, and I've realized it's not easy enough to do it so I
abandon that idea.
Here is the working Wiki code if someone knows how to do it.
How to include external program code (program listings). You can use change
the code in external program and LyX will show the updated source code in the
output.
!!! Include programlistings
This automatically uses the source code, and any change in the external source
code will be visible in the LY X output.
* Install the program highlight that is available on
[[http://www.andre-simon.de/]]
* Run the program highlight on one of your sourcecode #64257;les with the
command:
-@@highlight -A -L -t 4 -I -S cpp -r -q KOD.cpp@@
-Change the #64257;le name (KOD.cpp) to your #64257;le, and change language

Re: Embedding highlighed external source code files in a LyX document
This is great, do you know how to do on Windows? Unfortunatly not. I have not tried this on windows, yet. But the hightlight program works fine? I did everything as you described (with Perl insted of C++), but if i want to see a dvi preview i get folowing error: LaTex Error: File './0d__daten_prog_perl_myscript.tex' not found ...d__daten_prog_perl_myscript.tex} } ***(cannot \read drom terminal in nonstop modes) Can you view postscript or pdf?

I'm not sure, but I don't wan't to write-off the problem with the file /etc/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps (in linux system, but I think you have a similar?) where it says % z1 is secure, i.e., inhibits execution of `shell commands` in % \specials.

LyX version 1.4.4 ? I've only tried it with 1.4.* versions. If it says z1 in your file, change to z0. I had similar problems until I changed it to z0. Does that help? Noop, nothing changes. Since it's windows, restart? ;-) Then I'm almost out of ideas. I really thought it could be the z1 problem. It sounds like conversion problem, or that LyX can't copy files to temporary directory.

Re: Embedding highlighed external source code files in a LyX document
I changed the converter so that it output to foobar.tex. Here is a copy of the .tex it generated. This I can not import into LyX and make it compile with pdfLaTeX. Could you also remove the -f switch from the converters (just temporarily) and send me the code that is produced? And a lyx file in which you try to include the source code. I will try to experiment. Gunnar.
Re: Embedding highlighed external source code files in a LyX document
I know that this has 'been done' but I'm not sure how to go about it myself. I would like to link to an external source code file and 'pull it in' to my compiled document when I use pdflatex. I would like to apply source code highlighting, although that's not essential (the language I'm using is not one that is supported by any of the tools). What language? Highlight manages over 120 of them. I worked out how to import external code, but not how to maintain a link. Do I need to use ERT? Can LyX be set to use 'highlight' on-the-fly as for graphics formats, or must I prepare the latex by hand? Here are how I do it. When setup, it works automatically. http://www.taljaren.se/MinLyXTutorial.html (same as pdf) http://www.taljaren.se/MinLyXTutorial.pdf

Re: .cls - LyX
Gunnar Hello. I have a latex .cls file that defines a nice letter Gunnar style (with .eps headers ,special commands for greatings, Gunnar etc...). Now I would like to write my letters with LyX. I have Gunnar read a little in Custumization chapter 6 about the lyx .layout Gunnar but it didn't help. I know this part of the manual is not very helpful :( Gunnar Can someone please tell me how to do this? Is someone working Gunnar on a .cls - .layout program or something similar? I doubt that something like that could be written, unfortunately. Is this letter class very different from the standard letter class? It's hard to tell, I don't know much about .cls files (yet)... If someone wish to see this .cls, it can be found at www.maths.lth.se/na/staff/gunnarl/luletter.cls the whole package is in mall.tar.gz (WARNING, contains unreadable things for non-swedish speaking people).

I have Gunnar read a little in Custumization chapter 6 about the lyx .layout Gunnar but it didn't help. I know this part of the manual is not very helpful :( Gunnar Can someone please tell me how to do this? Is someone working Gunnar on a .cls - .layout program or something similar? I doubt that something like that could be written, unfortunately. Is this letter class very different from the standard letter class? It's hard to tell, I don't know much about .cls files (yet)... If someone wish to see this .cls, it can be found at www.maths.lth.se/na/staff/gunnarl/luletter.cls the whole package is in mall.tar.gz (WARNING, contains unreadable things for non-swedish speaking people).
Re: figures
There's a program called Xv, with that you should be able to transform from jpg to postscript, if I'm not misstaken. Xv should be available for (almost) all UN*X platforms. Hi everybody Is there any way to import pictures in other formats than *ps? I mean, I've got some *jpg ones which would be necessary to a article of mine. Thank you very much []s rlopes
