RevTeX 4: sectioning commands inside widetext
Using: LyX v. 2.3.7.
Class: REVTeX 4.1, options: aip, reprint
RevTeX allows sections inside widetext regions. However, with LyX, section,
subsection and Wide Text are all accessed by the drop-down menu and each
command/environment has its own context on the LyX screen.
The only way I've found was to insert the \subsection{} command inside an ERT
within the widetext environment.
Any other workaround?

I thought about doing something similar, but not exactly as you suggested.
With the totcount package, you register the counters you'll want to keep track
of with the
command
\regtotcounter[auxfile=first.tc]{thm}
It will create the counter thm@totc and set it to zero. At the end of the run,
the counter is
written into first.tc. I need to inform this file name to the next lecture.
So, inside the InPreamble, I registered all theorem counters.
Two problems resulted:
1. I got a lot of "!Missing number, treated as zero" errors.
2. If I ignore the errors and finish the processing, the total counters of the
environs that
are NOT used in the document are written in first.tc, all set to zero, as
expected.
The problem is that the counters that ARE used are again incremented every time
the file
is processed until all cross-references are right.
This time, I inserted the \setcounter{defn}{\totvalue{defn}}
command in the *.inc file.
>
> For the second issue, can you wrap your preamble code in AtBeginDocument{}

That seems to work. Thanks for pointing out the command.
So, I inserted
\regtotcounter[auxfile=\currfilebase.tc]{thm}, etc
in the appropriate places in the *.inc file. The command \currfilebase comes
from the
currfile package. It just contains the base file name, without the extension.
And then, if I know that in the next lecture the Definition and Exercise
environs are used,
inserting in the InPreamble
\AtBeginDocument{\setcounter{defn}{\totvalue{defn}}
\setcounter{xca}{\totvalue{xca}} }
does the trick. The counters are set after all the rest of the preamble is
processed.
Thank you.
Incidentally, in order to create locally the *.aux and *.tc files needed for
cross-referencing,
I have to first export the document to LaTeX and then manually run
pdflatex --draftmode
Is there a way to instruct Lyx to write certain auxiliary files into the local
directory, instead
of in /tmp/lyx_tmpdirxxx?

Problems related to custom AMS theorem module
This question is still related to the recent thread:
https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg112228.html[1]
I thought I got it right, but several unexpected problems came up and I'd like
to have your
opinion.
What I want to do is the following: I'm preparing a series of lectures that
will employ
theorem-like environments.
Several lectures are related to the same subject and so I want the enumeration
of
numbered things (equations, figures, theorems, examples, definitions, etc) in
subsequent
lectures to continue from the previous ones.
In order to guarantee the correct sequence, I'm loading in the preamble the
totcount
package. For each counter employed in a given lecture, the totcount package
creates a
new counter (equation@totc, figure@totc, etc), which contains the last value of
the
counter.
The values of these counters are then written in a specific file (call it
previous.tc), which
can be read in the subsequent lecture. Finally, by using
\setcounter{}{}
I can guarantee the desired continuation of the enumeration of things.
For the native LaTeX counters (equation, figure, etc), I've been including all
the necessary
commands in an ERT with the layout InPreamble.
For the native counters, this works all right because the counters are defined
with the
class and class packages, which are read before user-specific definitions
incuded with the
InPreamble layout.
However, for the theorem-like environments, the implementation is more
involved. The
problems that are coming up are:
1. Say a given environment like theorem is only introduced from the second
lecture. In
this case, the file previous.tc will not contain the last value of the counter
thm@totc,
because there was no theorem in the first lecture. Hence, I cannot issue a
\setcounter{thm}{} because in this case the number of the first
theorem gets
increased for each LyX/LaTeX compilation.
This complicates the implementation of the custom theorem-bytpe module I've
been
tinkering with in my previous thread. Somehow I need to introduce instructions
to read
the previous.tc file and find out if the counter thm was previously employed.
Only if there
is a last value of thm@totc that I can \setvalue the counter.
I'm not sure what will be the best way to implement this. Several posts I've
been browsing
through suggest the use of TeX natives like \newread, \openin \read, etc, and
then use
some package (like xstring) that identifies specific strings in each line read.
Seems too
much trouble for me.
2. Then I decided to dumb down my approach. I will only use \setvalue for
those counters
that I know are employed in the previous lecture, as I was doing so far with
the native
LaTeX counters.
The problem now is that with the layout InPreamble, those instructions will be
written
before the ams-theorem module defines the thm counters. That is going to give
errors.
It seems that as of now there is no way to choose the ordering of the
instructions
contained in the layout InPreamble inside the document's preamble. This is
discussed in
this thread:
https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg100172.html[2]
Therefore, the only solution that I can imagine is to write the necessary
instructions in the
user-defined preamble accessible in
Document Settings -> LaTeX Preamble
This way, I guarantee the correct ordering of the instructions.
Anyway, I just wanted to vent out my frustration that I was not smart enough to
somehow
automatize this process. This is an admittedly very specific problem, and I
don't know if
you think this can be of interest to the larger community.

Re: Customizing counters of theorem environments.
I would like to run by you my solution and ask another question.
I copied the files theorems-ams-bytype.module and theorems-ams-bytype.inc into
my
local layouts directory (with new names), then edited them accordingly. For
instance, in
the .inc file, for the Lemma style, inside the Preamble EndPreamble field I
included the line
\renewcommand{\thelem}{\thearea-\arabic{lem}}
\thearea being the prefix to the lemma counter.
Did similar things for the other styles, then reconfigured LyX and voila! My
customized
module is accessible (and works as intended).
I just don't know if this solution is sanctioned by you LyX developers...
Now the question I want to ask.
I want to create a new theorem-like environment. Reading through the
Customization.lyx
manual, I understand that the different translations for the names of the
environs reside
in the layouttranslations file. Looking into it, it says that
# This file has been automatically generated by po/lyx_pot.py.
# PLEASE MODIFY ONLY THE LAGUAGES HAVING NO .po FILE! If you want to regenerate
# this file from the translations, run `make ../lib/layouttranslations' in po.
# Python polib library is needed for building the output file.
I confess I did not quite grasp the process. Do I have to create a local
layouttranslations
file containing the translations for the new environment name? Is there a more
detailed
guide for this procedure?

Re: Customizing counters of theorem environments.
Well, it seems that the solution is indeed via \renewtheorem. However, I had
to dig deep
into the installation of AMS theorem to find the proper names of the counters.
So far, I've found \thethm, \thelem, \thedefn, etc.
I did not find a full list of counters, so if someone could point me out where
I can find such
a list, I'd be grateful.

Customizing counters of theorem environments.
Hi there.
I'm using the module Theorems (AMS, Numbered by Type).
I would like to change the counters of theorem-like environs, adding a fixed
string in front
of the number. Something like
Theorem TGA-1
Definition TGA-2
etc
Can I do that the usual way that is done for the standard LaTeX counters?
I mean, in ERT:
\renewcommand{\theequation}{TGA-\arabic{equation}}
I that case, I would need to know the names of the counters, but I can't find
them.
Or is there another way?
Thanks.

Instant preview: different sizes in different situations
Using: LyX v. 2.3.6.1 OS: Fedora Core 33 TeXLive v. 9 I noticed a weird behaviour for some time already with Instant Preview. In: Preferences -> Look & Feel -> Display -> Instant preview, if I set Preview size 1.2, then during the edition, when a given formula is rendered for the first time, the display size is OK. However, when I restart LyX and resume processing the text, the same formula is rendered with a much smaller size... very difficult to read. If I try to circumvent this problem by setting preview size to, say, 1.5, then on the first time the equation becomes huge, although after restart the new size is better than with the previous setting.

Re: Description of improvement in the user interface
Worked.
Interesting development. I usually employ variable-sized delimiters, but often
need to use \big, \Big, ...
Another development that would be handy would be the possibility to browse
through matched delimiters
( ), [ ], { }, | |, ...

This way it would be much easier to work with nested expressions.

LyX + Beamer: continuing previous counters
A question for TeXperts and LyXperts alike. In these times of coronavirus pandemic, all my teaching materiel is in the process of being moved to cloud-based venues. I'm using LyX/Beamer to prepare my lectures in presentation form, and in the course of preparing a number of subsequent lectures, I came across a problem related to cross-references that I wish to solve in an automatic way. Say I prepare a given lecture as a Beamer presentation and number some equations/figures/etc for future reference. I'm using the xr package to reference labels created in other presentations, but I also want to continue the counters in subsequent lectures. The problem now poses as the following. How can I automatically continue the counters in the next presentation? Should I include the different presentations as children of a master LyX file? I did not try this possibility because I fear it would mess up the individual tables of contents. Is there any LaTeX command/package that provides the last value of a counter in a file, so that I can use it in another tex file? -- Rudi Gaelzer Institute of Physics Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul BRAZIL Registered linux user # 153741 -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Re: Conversion error for Help files
Indeed. I reconfigured LyX with the new configure.py, but then when I loaded the Embedded Objects guide it complained about a couple of new modules that are not present in 2.3.4. Moreover, although the rendering no longer complained about inkscape, other processing errors ensued, probably due to the missing modules. Anyway, thanks for the tip. I guess I'll just wait for v. 2.3.5... On quinta-feira, 4 de junho de 2020 11:07:19 -03 Jürgen Spitzmüller wrote: > But note that this won't fix it completely.

As I understand, you are creating the document with Asciidoctor before converting it to HTML (or ePub), correct? Thank you for the suggestion, but I would rather stick to LyX/LaTeX for document creation.

Configuration of LyXHTML
I have just tested LyXHTML with a complex document (lots of childs, cross- references, listings, etc) and found that the result is fairly good. However, all the files that were generated were stored in the same directory as the sources. Is there a way to configure LyXHTML to change the following: 1. Write the files in another directory. 2. Color of the items in TOC. They are black by default. Can I change the color? 3. Using the "Fancy Colored Boxes" module. I inserted a Custom Color Box in the master document and the configuration of said custom box was rendered at the top of the xhtlm page. That configuration should not have been printed. 4. Also using the "Custom Header/Footerlines" module. The field titles: "Left Header:", "Right Footer:", etc, were also included in the xhtml. They should be invisible. Any tips?

Notice that in your file the overlays are actually outside the overlayarea. You can see it clearly if you export to LaTeX. I you then include the onlyenvs inside the overlayarea (see attached), then the result conforms what I was expecting. The difference between the two cases is that in the first case, the baseline of the permanent text is moved upwards as more lines are added to the frame, whereas in the second case (all onlyenvs inside the overlayarea) the baseline is fixed. This is what I wanted. Thanks for the tip. I did not try with overlayarea because I was not sure about the overlay height. But it seems that setting a total height of 0cm does the trick. -- Rudi Gaelzer Departamento de Física Instituto de Física Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Porto Alegre - RS BRAZIL Phone: +55-51-3308-6472 FAX: +55-51-3308-7286 Registered Linux user # 153741 NestedOverprints3.lyx Description: application/lyx
Beamer help: nested overprints
I have a problem with Beamer that certainly has a very simple solution, but I'm not able to find it... In the attached file, there is a single frame. The first line appears on all subframes, but the following lines are inside a main overprint environment. The second line should appear only on the second slide, the third line on the third and fourth slides and it should replace the second line. There is also a fourth line that is overprinted on the third and fourth lines. However, the second line does not appear on the PDF, only the remaining subframes.

Superscripts in ABNT keyboard: version 2.3.1
Ever since LyX was upgraded to v. 2.3.1 the rendering of math superscripts changed. Using a ABNT (brazilian) keyboard map, which provides accents (acute, grave, circumflex, cedilla, etc) as dead keys, up to the previous version (2.3.0), whenever I wanted a superscript in math mode I would use the circumflex accent key. That would have the same effect as the key-binding Alt+M E, both in LyX math mode and in LaTeX. Now, since v. 2.3.1 was installed, if I want to renderize $a^2$, for instance, in LyX math, it will display literally a^2. After exiting math mode and with instant preview active, the LaTeX rendition will display the correct format. Subscripts are still rendered either with Alt+M X or with "_" (underscore), as it was always done. This is not something terribly annoying, but with an ABNT keyboard it is much faster to employ the single "^" key than pressing the 3 keys Alt + M + E. -- Rudi Gaelzer Institute of Physics Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul BRAZIL Registered linux user # 153741

It's not quite like that. If I run bibtex for each child individually, the bbl's are generated without a hitch. The error comes when I bibtex'ed the main file.

Chapterbib: another \bibstyle command error
System: Fedora Linux 24
LyX version: 2.2.2
So, I followed the instructions here:
https://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Tips#secbib
in order to use chapterbib with LyX.
1) The script bibtexall was downloaded, chmod'ed as executable, and put in a
directory cited by PATH
2) Went to Tools -> Preferences... -> Output -> LaTeX. In Bibliography
Generation: Processor: Custom - Command: bibtexall
3) Created a simple master-child structure (1 master + 2 children).
4) In the master's preamble: \usepackage{chapterbib}
5) Each child file has its own bibliography.
When I process the master with pdflatex, the following BibTeX error message
appears:

I did not commit any error, LaTeXwise speaking. When I exported everything to

Re: Rolling lists in Beamer
I see. Anyhoo, it's good to learn about all possibilities. Thanks again. Since we're talking about beamer and you seem a proficient user, another tweak I've been struggling to implement is a better control on the positioning of objects such as figures or boxes that will remain fixed at a given position whereas the remaining of the slide wraps around it. I've obtained a partial success with the wrap figure float, which call the wrapfig pack, but I don't really have a total control on the positioning (since it's a "float" after all) and the outcome is less than satisfactory. Some people report success using the cutwin package, others recommend pgf-tkiz for figures and/or textpos for boxes. I still haven't come around finding time to test all possibilities, though. Do you have any suggestion on this regard?

Re: Rolling lists in Beamer
Hi Jürgen. Thank you for your reply. Your improved rolling list solution is what I was looking for. I was trying to implement the same result using Edit -> Text Style -> Only, but in this case the result is different. Your "clever" rolling list solution is the implementation of the other suggestion from the site. That one I was able to implement exactly as you did. What I was really interested in were rolling lists that contain nested lists with items that themselves are supposed to appear only in certain slides. I was able to implement that result inserting the "only@" clause in the item overlay specification for those particular nested items. See the attached file with my tweaks. The "clever" implementation is IMHO the most elegant solution, but there are some subtle differences in the rolling behavior. The most evident is that with the "clever" rolling list, one has to continue changing slides until the only item remaining is the last. Do you know if there's some "cleverer" way to avoid that? Anyway, thanks again. As I learn new things about the beamer class the more impressed I become with its flexibility.

LyX 2.2.0-1 on FC23: some math shortcuts not working.
I've just installed on my desktop the 2.2.0-1 version delivered by Fedora 23
updates repo.
The overall layout is much prettier and I'm eager to test the professed
support for retina displays when I upgrade LyX on my laptop.
However, I have refrained from installing the upgrade on the laptop because
when I tested the 2.2.0 version with the desktop I've found out that some
useful mathematical keyboard shortcuts were no longer working.
For instance: "ALT+M F" did not entered the \frac command; instead it just
will open the dialog window for math spaces. "ALT+M (", "ALT+M [" and
"ALT+M {", instead of creating the respective math delimiters would simply do
nothing. Also, exponent generation with the caret "^" works sporadically.
There may be other shortcut problems that I have not detected yet. Anyway,
those I mentioned are annoying, because the shortcuts significantly speed-up
the typing of mathematical expressions.
Have you noticed something similar, or can this be a specific Fedora issue?

I've been doing exactly the same thing, but a tad different.
After the .aux file is generated, I run it through the bibtool app:
$> bibtool -x yourfile.aux -o yourfile.bib
that should generate your tailored bibtex database.
After that, you'll only have to change the \bibliography{...} command inside
yourfile.tex to
\bibliography{yourfile}
That's been working for me.

Change tracking: no change bar in PDF output
There is a possible bug here:
Using change tracking with PDF output (pdflatex), the \lyxdeleted and \lyxadded
commands work as supposed (respectively: read, strike out and blue). However,
the change bar is not printed at the margin.
Looking at the source, I noticed that LyX uses the xcolor, pdfcolmk and ulem
pacs to show the changes, when the output is directly piped to a PDF.
OTOH, if I export the doc to (plain) latex, LyX will use the dvipost package.
Then, with "pplatex " and "dvipdf ", the resulting PDF contains the
change bar.
=
Here is the source text, which won't printout the change bar.

Enumitem and multiple columns modules: bad mojo.
I've seen a lot of reports in this list about the interaction of the enumited
module with other latex classes (such as powerdot) or other modules, most of
them regarding the Enumerate-Resume option.
Well, now I add my own. I elaborate several exercise lists for my classes.
Usually, the problems are printed in 2 columns, but eventually I need to
switch to single column for a while and then resume the 2 columns.
Enumerate-Resume only works with the sequence
1 column -- 2 columns
With the reverse (2 columns -- 1 column), the counter is always reset. See
the 2 first attached examples.
According to the tests I performed, the counter will only follow the correct
sequence if I use the series= and resume= options. However, if I blindly
enter the Enumerate Option (with Alt+A 1) inside an Multiple Columns inset, an
error message about a missing number will occur. Exporting the text to latex,
I noticed that the reason is because the enumitem option will be copied as a
\begin{multicols} option (see mul_col_enumited3-lyx_output.tex).
The only workaround I found was entering manually the number of columns before
(re)starting the list. The attached mul_col_enumitem7.lyx file is the version
that works as it should.
Perhaps there's a bug in any of the modules?

Enumerate-Resume only works with the sequence
1 column --> 2 columns
With the reverse (2 columns --> 1 column), the counter is always reset. See
the 2 first attached examples.
According to the tests I performed, the counter will only follow the correct
sequence if I use the "series=" and "resume=" options. However, if I blindly
enter the Enumerate Option (with Alt+A 1) inside an Multiple Columns inset, an
error message about a missing number will occur. Exporting the text to latex,
I noticed that the reason is because the enumitem option will be copied as a
\begin{multicols} option (see mul_col_enumited3-lyx_output.tex).
The only workaround I found was entering manually the number of columns before
(re)starting the list. The attached mul_col_enumitem7.lyx file is the version
that works as it should.
Perhaps there's a bug in any of the modules?

Re: Unsupported math environments
Dear Jacob.
Thanks for the reply.
However, I think that the solution suggested by Guy Rutenberg will only work
for math COMMANDS. See the attached file, where I define a math macro \pFq in
order to write the symbol for generalized hypergeometric functions.
What I want and need is a means to implement the math ENVIRONMENTS defined by
the mathtools package and that are not explicitly supported by LyX.
Specifically for multiline equations. LyX supports the standard AMS inner and
outer environments, such as align (outer) and aligned (inner). However,
multline is only an outer env in the standard AMSmath. The mathtools pack
defines the corresponding inner multlined environment, and it seems that there
is no way to use it other than ERTing the math input (see attached file).
I guess the same tweak can be applied in order to use the other new
environments defined by mathtools, such as dcases, rcases, drcases,
psmallmatrix, bsmallmatrix, etc.
The only other alternative I was able to find was this suggestion by Uwe Stôhr:
http://marc.info/?l=lyx-usersm=117565214529188w=2
which would demand some tweaking with the default spaces of the multline
environment (see file).
I also tried to create first a tex file with
\[
\begin{multlined}
a = \\
b
\end{multlined}
\]
and then import it into LyX, but only the first line was used. So, I guess
multlined is indeed unsupported.

Unsupported math environments
Using LyX 2.1.x, is it now possible to implement via ERT the still-unsupported capabilities of the mathtools package, such as the multlined (section 3.4.2), *smallmatrix (sec. 3.4.1) and *cases (sec. 3.4.3) environments? Thanks. -- Rudi Gaelzer Institute of Physics Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul BRAZIL Registered linux user # 153741

Dashed lines in array/matrix environment.
The embedded objects manual teaches us that by using the arydshln package
one can create tables with horizontal/vertical dashed lines.
However, I want to do the same in the math environment. I need to
represent matrices in block-diagonal notation and the use of dashed lines
is one way to distinguish the different parent matrices.
In math mode I can create horizontal dashes within a pmatrix inserting
\hdashline before the first element of a given line in order to put the
dash over it. However, for the vertical dashes, I had to resort to ERT:
==
(within the ERT):
\[
\left(\begin{array}{c:c}
a b \\
\hdashline c d
\end{array}\right)
\]
==
Notice the {c:c} that puts the vert dash between the columns.
It works but it's not wysiwyg... is there no other way to do this within
LyX?
Thanks.

You are right, the mentioned features do not affect the look of the math
editor. However, there are some new symbols in 2.1, mainly from stmaryrd.sty
and mathtools.sty. To some extent you can also add some on your own: The
screen appearance of math symbols is defined in the file lib/symbols, which
contains some very basic documentation for 2.1.
Basically, there are three kinds of symbol definitions in that file:
1) symbols supported by special insets (like the decorations)
2) symbols supported by fonts (like the ones from fontmath.ltx)
3) symbols without any builtin support
Adding symbols of type 1) and 2) requires some programming in LyX, and 2)
requires also a true type font containing the symbols in a certain order,
but symbols of type 3) can easily be added by users: All lines starting with
\def are of this kind. For example, you could define \partialslash like
this:
\def\partialslash{\partial\kern-12mu/}
The slash is a bit too short, but maybe there is a longer one already
supported by mathed, which you could use instead. Although this looks like a
TeX macro definition, it is not used for the output, only for display in
LyX. There is basically no documentation how exactly this \def works, you
have to use trial and error. You could also make the mathabx package load
automatically if this symbol is used (works only for packages in the
compiled in feature list of LyX, and mathabx is in there):
\def\partialslash{\partial\kern-12mu/} mathabx
I strongly advise against doing so, because this makes your LyX document
depend on your personal installation, and it would not typeset on vanilla
installations. This feature is rather for symbols distributed with the
official symbols file.
Finally, if you want some symbols to appear officially in LyX, you could add
them to bug , but please note that font changing packages like txfonts
will not be used.
Thanks a lot for the tips. I'll try them out as soon as I have some time.

Rendering of LyX's math screen fonts.
This is a recurrent problem for me, and I think it's for other as well.
Certainly someone has already discussed this issue in this list (or in the
devel list), but every time I take some time to browse through them, I cannot
find it, or perhaps I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable on the internal working
of LyX to really identify the subject...
Anyway, whenever I'm editing a mathematical equation and have a need for a
symbol not included in the standard latex and AMStex sets, I have to look for
it elsewhere.
A good place to look for new symbols is the 'The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol
List'
http://mirror.ctan.org/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf
So, if I want the \partialslash symbol, I have to edit the preamble and
insert \usepackage{mathabx}. If I want the double square bracket delimiters
\ldbrack and \rdbrack, I have to \usepackage{txfonts}, and so forth.
It works fine to generate the exported document in PDF or PS and also with
Instant Preview. However, the math equation editor (or math mode) does not
render non-AMS/latex symbols, but leaves them as ERT's.
That's ok if you are creating a document with LyX, but for those of us that use
LyX to make mathematical calculations as well, the rendition of all symbols
goes a long way to facilitate the visualization of the mathematical expression.
So I ask you LyXperts: is it possible to configure the math mode editor so that
it uses also mathabx and other different math fonts? The roadmap to LyX 2.1
mentions enhanced support for math font selection (OpenType fonts) and support
ofr cropped PDF/EPS. However, AFAIU, these enhancements will have an effect on

Re: Forward/reverse search and LuaTeX
For me, Forward/Reverse search only works with pdflatex. For Xelatex I probably should enter with some custom configuration. If anyone knows how to do it, please advise. Even with pdflatex, reverse search works ok, but for Forward search the --unique specification is not obeyed. Every time I want the jump LyX = PDF, a new instance of Okular is launched.

Cross-reference to subeq. within subequations environ
Ok, I know I should've first read the whole AMSmath documentation before asking
this but... this is faster...
Say I have a bunch of equations within a labeled subequations environment.
Something like (in LaTeX):
...
\begin{subequations}
\label{eq:eq1}
\begin{equation}
Some math
\end{equation}
Some text
\begin{align}
Some math \\
Some math \\
Some math
\end{align}
\end{subequations}
... \ref{eq:eq1} ...
The equations are all labeled with the same number and with the roman
subnumbers from a through d.
As long as I'm aware, I can only \ref{} the main label. I can not make an
automatic reference to a particular subequation unless I label it as well.
If I don't do it, I have to write the roman subnumber manually. However, if I
later on insert another equation within the subequations, I'll have to scan the
whole document and fix the subnumbers in all cross references...
Does anyone know of a way to automatize this process? Without having to label
individual eqs, I mean. Perhaps there's a package in CTAN that I don't know
of. And does LyX support it?
Thanks.

Re: Display of Inkscape svg images not working.
Hi, Scott and Paul. Thanks for the suggestion. Running lyx on debug mode provided some information. See the dbg file attached. I deleted my ~/.lyx/preferences file, reconfigured lyx, closed and opened it again, as usual. Got the same problem... I was puzzled because I could not find any error message in any file created in the ./tmp/lyx_tmpdir. directories. What I'm trying to do here is the following: I have a JPEG image which I want to edit somehow. I'm doing this with xfig, Ipe and Inkscape, all of which can apply layers over the original image that contain the modifications I want to make. So far, the only vector graphics app that works well with Instant Preview is Ipe. With Inkscape, I initially imported the JPEG figure using the link option, which simply creates a link (duh!) to the original JPEG image. In the debug test I'm sending attached, I created a newfile1.lyx text where I first inserted the original JPEG and then the Inkscape (*.svg) image. Instant preview worked well with the jpeg, but I got the same blank square for the svg. It seems that lyx was not able to follow the symbolic link contained in the svg file to the jpeg image. Take a look at the last lines of the dbg. After this test I decided to create another Inkscape svg file, where I inserted the jpeg with the embed option. This time, I was able to view the image on lyx. I guess this is why Ipe works, since it always embed the imported images into its *.ipe files... Anyway, I hope this is useful somehow. Thanks again.
