Alternating Context in a Beamer Presentation
I am putting together a beamer presentation in which I alternate between a running example and the theory behind the example. How can I get this to reflect in the slides? Ideally I'd like something like Theory to appear on theory slides and Example on example slides. Section headings won't really do the trick because of the alternation. If that's not possible (or even if it is) is there a way to get Lyx to change the background color of a slide or some other cue to let the audience know? thanks

Seperate Numbering for Theorems, Defs, Examples, etc
Hello, is there a way to get Lyx to use seperate numbering for these
different mathematical elements. ie, instead of Theorem 1, Def 2,
Example 3, Theorem 4, etc
I want
Theorem 1, Def 1, Example 1, Theorem 2, etc
Right now I'm hacking the generated Latex file removing the [thm] in
\newtheorem{defn}[thm]{Definition} but I'd rather not
cheers
Re: Seperate Numbering for Theorems, Defs, Examples, etc
Quick apology: I asked this question before, and was pointed at a lyx page
that was supposed to contain some modules that I could use. However the link
((http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Modules) appears broken. I looked on the main wiki
page but i couldnt see anything that was obviously relevent:

How to shrink the size of math formulas?
Hello, is there a way of shrinking the overall size of a math formula, either displayed or inline? I am trying to stay within a page limit for a paper, and I could do with shrinking the formulas (as they would appear in the final output - I don't care too much what size they look in Lyx - so if i have to hack some Tex that is ok). I guess the same question applies to code (Lyx-Code) cheers

what happened to AMS article in 1.5.2?
I used to have no problem setting my documents to “article (AMS)” but with 1.5.2 I get an error message saying that the AMS article class layout isn’t usable, probably because a latex class is missing. I would check for the missing class if I knew where to look. How does Lyx know where to find Latex? Also, I heard there’s something you have to do to update MikTex or something.

Problem viewing dvi (still)
OK I installed the latest version (Lyx 1.4.3) but unf i still can't do what i was originally trying to do, and the reason why i upgraded :-( That is view the DraftDVI or DVI. When I try to view the DraftDVI i get an error message: File does not exist: temp dir/filename. For some reason, its looking in the temp directory, even though i saved the file to a different directory. I did File | Export | DraftDVI before that. It seemed to execute but i have no idea where it might have placed the generated dvi (it isn't in the directory where the latex is) If I try View | DVI then I get: An error occurred while running python -tt ../Lyx 1.4.3-5/Resources

The math symbols and greek letters seem to be all topsy turvy. e.g. I select phi from the math panel and I get a mu, or I select Sigma and I get a (C) symbol. etc. Obviously my fonts are messed up but how do i fix this? I see nothing unusual in the Preferences thanks

sources?
hello, I downloaded the source for lyx lyx-1.4.1.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/ but I see no source code. The config directory has a bunch of .m4 files, and a handful of scripts. what have i missed? I'm sure its something dumb... thanks

Problem with generated latex
hello, I am having trouble compiling the latex file generated by lyx. the
latex processor seems to try and iterate over the file several times, and in
the end produces some gibberish
The culprit seems to be the following command:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
When I remove this command, everything works fine. However it is a nuisance
to have to go and manually edit this file every time. Is there a way to
turn off its inclusion?
On a related note, how can i turn a word or character into a specified font
eg. Typewriter. Doing the obvious Edit | Text Style.. | Typwriter appears to
have no effect
thanks

Where did it go?
I tried exporting my lyx file as a latex file using File | Export | Latex. It appears to be carrying out the export, at least according to the status buffer, but I am unable to locate the file! Its not in the same directory. I looked in the lyx/tmp directory, and while there appear to be old conversions sitting there, there is nothing recent. I know this used to work, I haven't used Lyx in a few months, so i may be fogetting something. Can anyone help? (I tried reconfigure already) Thanks for your help!

This also looks fine Third thing to check: Edit-Preferences-Converters needs a path from LaTeX to DVI. (LyX to LaTeX is automatically available and is not listed in the Converters section.) In recent versions, this path has two elements: a LaTeX to DraftDVI entry (the converter is latex $$i), and a DraftDVI to DVI entry (python $$s/scripts/clean_dvi.py $$i $$o). With just the first entry, you should have DraftDVI available on the View menu. As I mentioned above, there is no anything - Dvi present. But using the information you give above I created a new convertor from Latex - DVI (there was no DraftDVI entry) and it seems to have restored the options so I think I'm OK. thanks! thanks Paul

oddity
hello, this sounds really odd, but a variety of View options that were previously available (in particular DVI) in Lyx are no longer available. The only one that is available is pdflatex (and even that produces an error message). The only change I made since those options used to be available was that I included some graphics files in my Lyx document. I ran reconfigure but that didn't help any. Does this call for a reinstall of Lyx or am I missing something obvious? I am running Lyx on Windows thanks! PS a new error message I have not seen before that appears in the console is Could not fork: Exec format error, but I don't know if its related to this problem

Problem with adjacent thingies
I originally reported this difficuly with the case environment but have since noticed the problem with lots of other environments, including Lemma, Definition, etc. Essentially the problem is that Lyx wont let me create adjacent Lemmas (without proofs), or adjacent Definitions, without some intervening (Standard) text. In the absence of any such text it merges the two adjacent entities into one. Does anyone have a workaround for this? thanks PS I am using the AMS Article class

Sure. My point was that its not immediately obvious that its nonsensical to
mix Latex and AMS macros (they are all after both just TeX macros). I saw no
dire warnings about this in any of the AMS documents, or even in yours.
Well, live and learn I guess.

Meanwhile I found the error: It is a known bug (has nothing to do with environment depths) and will be fixed in LyX 1.4, see http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1471 well it certainly seems to have to do with the spurious textbox that you claimed was part of the problem so perhaps it hasn't been fixed after all Georg

And what I said is that I did not ask for a text box. I don't really care if Lyx chooses to insert one if thats what it thinks it takes to get the job done so long as it doesn't choke and die over it. Its just a basic principle of good UI deisgn.

But here it is again - insert a display or eqnarray or an align or any enclosing math formula. Add an extra row. In the element where you want a split, increase the environment depth (C-Right), insert a multline. Use the M-m w i command to add extra rows to it.

You can add columns and rows as usual with M-m c i and > M-m w i. Right, just like I said! Insert a Tex command. Unf. split is not quite what I want either b/c it justifies each row. What I want is a multiline, which nicely left justifies the first row, centers the middle one, and right justifies the last, but if your information is correct, it isn't possible to insert a multiline inside another formula. So I'm still not particularly happy :-( cheers > > Georg > >
Re: problem with multline nested inside a eqnarray
Sure. My point was that its not immediately obvious that its nonsensical to
mix Latex and AMS macros (they are all after both just TeX macros). I saw no
dire warnings about this in any of the AMS documents, or even in yours.
Well, live and learn I guess.

You might have to select the "insert multiline" more than once. In any case, I never did anything to request a textbox or anything remotely like it, so please stop insinuating that I did.

case environment
Does anyone know how to use the case environment (note, not case*s* but case - its available in the drop down menu under File). It *seems* like something you could use for the different cases of a proof. However, I'm having difficulty getting Lyx to seperate the cases without some text between them. It seems like the only way I can do that is by placing some text between them. Soon as I remove the text the two cases get merged. ie suppose I want: case 1. x = 0 give up case 2. x0 try again How can I create this without having to place some text between the two cases? cheers
