fancyhdr
Hi
(lyx 1.3.2 qt frontend linux redhat 9)
I'm using fancyhdr to include a logo (and other stuff, whixh works more
often) in my document header/footer. It works fine as long as I include
a graphic _somewhere_ in the document body.
Otherwise I get
Undefined control sequence.
\end{labeling}and
Undefined control sequence.

error boxes in the doc when trying to view or export. Any clues as to

Re: interleaf
I understood that interleaf could export to (framemaker) MIF and then there are converters from mif to lyx.

tex limits on pictures
Hi I am writing a manual with lyx, I have a bunch of included postscript graphics. (schematics) linux redhat 8.0, lyx 1.2.3 and 1.3.0 both. this document uses fancyhdr and fancy style. I find I can include 18 images in a row, including 19 causes errors when exporting to pdflatex, (and other modes) This is the same image included repeated multiple times to try to debug what is happening. I get 9 error boxes, the first complains about \includegraphics ,thinks the temporary path is wrong, referencing 'wierd error' (how does one paste the contents of an xforms error box?) what should I do for a more meaningful error report? john

fancyhdr
Hi I am using fancyhdr on lyx 1.2.1 (and 1.2.2cvs) to put a graphic in the header. the original graphic is a jpg. I've mapped it to a few formats with 'convert'. I find if I include it as an eps file, I can run view-dvi as a jpg or png I can run view - pdf(pdflatex) But I cannot find a format that works both ways. eps files in the document body are viewable or exportable either way. Am I doing something silly here? john

Create both JPG and EPS files
(if you use convert, use 'convert file.jpg eps2:file.eps')
and then write \includegraphics{file}, namely you should omit the suffix.
BTW, why do you want to use pdflatex ? You get similar results with view-pdf
Thanks Dekel. No explicit format works fine.
regarding pdflatex - habit. When I last looked I liked the
fonts better than pdf export. And worked with xpdf [pre]viewing.
(pdf export had the same issue as pdflatex file types BTW.)
I guess with better font support in xpdf2.0 that may no longer be an
issue. Must look again.

It is possible using latex code:

\addtocounter{tmp}{10}
\addtocounter{tmp}{5}
\arabic{tmp}
To save typing, you can use
\newcommand{\add}[1]{\addtocounter{tmp}{#1}}

I discovered also I could use an external escape to the shell with
something like echo $[ 1 + 2 ] arter tweaking external_templates.
(lets not consider security here for a few minutes)
or I could include tex from gnumeric with additional processing.
while I do not understand the math_extern at all - and could really use
a pointer/example code here, these solutions appear to suffer from
2 disadvantages
firstly, I'd quite like to be able to read the half dozen numbers I am
adding from the lyx window. If I really want to include a big spreadsheet
somehow I can do that, but it seems overkill for addimg a couple of
numbers that maybe are in a table, maybe in the text but are described
with text. And its nice to see the sum at write time also
secondly, I want to gather a few numbers from random sections together
in the summary chapter.And to be really difficult my summary is at
the start of the document. \arabic{blah} appears to work as long as the
summary is after the sum.
Given the number of documents I've read where there are obselete
sections after a couple of changes, many word processors must have
this problem.

Thanks Derek, Andre
I discovered also I could use an external escape to the shell with
something like echo $[ 1 + 2 ] arter tweaking external_templates.
(lets not consider security here for a few minutes)
or I could include tex from gnumeric with additional processing.
while I do not understand the math_extern at all - and could really use
a pointer/example code here, these solutions appear to suffer from
2 disadvantages
firstly, I'd quite like to be able to read the half dozen numbers I am
adding from the lyx window. If I really want to include a big spreadsheet
somehow I can do that, but it seems overkill for addimg a couple of
numbers that maybe are in a table, maybe in the text but are described
with text. And its nice to see the sum at write time also
secondly, I want to gather a few numbers from random sections together
in the summary chapter.And to be really difficult my summary is at
the start of the document. \arabic{blah} appears to work as long as the
summary is after the sum.
Given the number of documents I've read where there are obselete
sections after a couple of changes, many word processors must have
this problem.
regards, John
Re: doesn't export the complete file
Its quite possible information like lyx version, platform, perhaps anything special about your doc could assist advice to you here. Any errors ? any scissoring you did around the point it breaks?

url in html
Hi
I recently tried to use lyx to generate some uncomplex html
pages. Ran into what appears to be a known but unfixed bug getting
URL's to appear as links in my html.
It still seems to be there with cvs 1_2_x lyx and latest latex2html.
this appears to have been discussed but I have not seen posted a
useable solution yet.Here is a workaround, improvements welcome.
Problem appears to be lyx outputs a \IfFileExists command which
latex2html does not understand. The edit is trivial but not automated.
A workaround is a tiny perl script as inlined later called noexist.
make it executeable, put it somewhere in your search path
then within lyx edit your
preferences = conversion = converters = LaTeX-HTML
add to the start of the converter command
noexist $$i ;
prior to the latex2html, right at the start of the line.
modify/apply/save that.
then html export works for me with URL's.
