LFUN: self-insert a space?

[Xu Wang]

I can't seem to self-insert a space. I'm sure I could come up with a hack
for entering a letter and a space and a letter and then using char-backward
to delete the two letters, but I'm guessing there's an easier way.

Thank you for the help, Xu

ERT text size

[Xu Wang]

I often have lots of code inside ERT, for example in knitr code. How can I
do to make the font size small in the ERT. I know I can ctrl+ zoom out to
make everything small but I would like to make only ERT small. Any ideas?

Thank you very much Richard.

Re: Examples of integration between Lyx, Sage computations, and PDFLateX

[Xu Wang]

Dear Thomas

Excellent news! Thank you for your continued work. I have not taken a fine
look at this yet, but I also use Ubuntu so it looks like it might be useful.

I'm not sure but I think for your contributions to be used you have to give
permission explicitly. Look at this email:

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg161963.html
You can send something like that to the development list, lyx-devel

And it could be a good idea for Murat to do the same.

I'm not sure though.

In any case, thank you for your continued work. I am appreciative. Xu

Re: Import into LyX

[Xu Wang]

Hey Rob, that sounds like quite a nice project you have in mind!

My two cents: it's not worth carrying it out if you can't get the math to
import somewhat well. That seems to be the biggest problem with most ways
of converting doc to lyx. I understand it's very difficult, but I think
it's also the most important.

I don't mean to discourage you, just my two cents. I don't think importing
track changes is important at all (they should be able to go through the
changes in word and get rid of them). And I don't think round-tripping is
important. Of course, if you could pull these features off they would be
nice additions.

I looked at the google code project and it looks like it's still under
development. Is that correct? It would be nice to choose a library that is
still being actively developed.

Good luck with it all and thanks for your effort on this. I think in the
end it would indeed help a lot of would-be LyXers or already-LyXers but
need to collaborate with a Word-er.

 (The original blog article about this can be found at
 http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/05/14/msword-lyx-import.)

 Since I'm (re)writing a book chapter about this topic, I thought that I
 would look at alternative strategies for importing Word (and other file
 formats) into LyX. While doing research, I came across a (potentially) much
 better solution.

 Somewhat recently (in 2010), a group of Python libraries were written that
 handle document conversions. They are part of the epub-tools library (
 http://code.google.com/p/epub-tools/). (I've been experimenting with ePub
 document creation from LyX, which is how I found them.)

 One of the tools in the library is able to parse Microsoft word documents
 and convert them to XHTML in preparation for generating an ePub file. I
 think that the tool can be adapted for directly converting Word docs to
 LyX. Not to LaTeX and then to LyX, but *directly to LyX*.

 I'm putting together a library to experiment with direct conversions (this
 is ostensibly being done for the never-ending book project, but will be
 released as open code), but before getting too deep into development, I
 wanted to poll:

1. Is this a tool that would prove useful to yourselves, your
collaborators, and others?
2. What features would you consider essential?

(Right now, styles based conversion looks pretty easy -- going from
Heading 1 in Word to Chapter, for example. But I'm not sure how well it
would convert maths. This is something I'll still need to look at, and may
require writing an additional module.)

 3. What is the best tool to look at for guidance in creating a new
script for word2lyx? tex2lyx?
4. Does the script need to support special cases, such as importing
Word track changes?
5. Just how important do you consider round-tripping a document,

6. Is there anyone who might be interested in collaborating on this?

 Does using LuaTeX or XeTeX solve the problem? Just go to export and then

 It seems that qtconfig is broken (at least on my system). The

 set to xim.
 Added:
 export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

 If the character you used in LyX is the same as here:

 Thank you, Günter. That's the problem. I formed the circumflex by doing

 Hi Marco,

 So you can compile other documents to pdf (ie, your installation of
 miktex and lyx were successful)?). Did you import your tex file into
 LyX? On which system was your document compilable? What is your operating
 system and version of LyX? These are all questions that you should have
 answered in your original email.

 It looks like you have a font problem. Have you tried changing the font?
 Assuming the problem is where the error suggests, try changing the font
 there. In math mode, to change font, click on the math toolbar (usually at
 the bottom) on the button that looks like a 2x2 matrix of A's.

 Does the document compile fine if you take out that line?

What regex language/processor is used? It is not stated in the user guide

 Hi Xu,


 Can you compile other documents in lyx?

 Can you please post/copy the entire log so we can see the error messages?



 Answers:



 - Yes, i can compile. if i create a simple new document (file\new) and
 then click on the icon view pdf, then it works.



 - On the contrary, when I open a slightly more sophisticated document with
 math formulas (note that this document has been created in lyx by a friend
 of mine), and click on the icon view pdf, the it doesn't work. And it
 appears a new window with several lines of errors and the related
 descriptions. I will try to summarize the main errors (they are repeated
 for a large number of times):



 *- Error:*

  FONT OML/zplm/m/it/12=zplmr7m at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file
 not found

 -* Description: *

 [Rudin 3.5]

 For any two real sequences $\{a_{n}\}$, $\{b_{n}\}$,

 I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,

 so I will ignore the font specification.

 [Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]

 You might try inserting a different font spec;

 e.g., type `I\fontsame font id=substitute font name'.





 *- Error*

 Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts



 *- Description*

 Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless \textfont 2

 and \scriptfont 2 and \scriptscriptfont 2 have all

 the \fontdimen values needed in math symbol fonts.



 *- Description*

 Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless \textfont 2

 Any suggestions?



 Let me know if you need additional information.



 Thanks again.

 Hi Marco,

 So you can compile other documents to pdf (ie, your installation of
 miktex and lyx were successful)?). Did you import your tex file into
 LyX? On which system was your document compilable? What is your operating
 system and version of LyX? These are all questions that you should have
 answered in your original email.

 It looks like you have a font problem. Have you tried changing the font?
 Assuming the problem is where the error suggests, try changing the font
 there. In math mode, to change font, click on the math toolbar (usually at
 the bottom) on the button that looks like a 2x2 matrix of A's.

 Does the document compile fine if you take out that line?

regex language -- standard POSIX?

[Xu Wang]

What regex language/processor is used? It is not stated in the user guide
which commands I can enter. Judging from the example in the user guide, I'm
guessing that it's POSIX?

Thanks,

Xu

Re: Re: Re: Help needed

[Xu Wang]

Marco,

The problem seems to be you're missing a font. Either install the font or
change it. You might have to export to latex (fileexportlatex(pdflatex))
and look at the latex code to see where the file is trying to use that font.

It looks like you have a font problem. Have you tried changing the font?
Assuming the problem is where the error suggests, try changing the font
there. In math mode, to change font, click on the math toolbar (usually at
the bottom) on the button that looks like a 2x2 matrix of A's.

Does the document compile fine if you take out that line?

 You might try inserting a different font spec;

 Anybody can help me?

Hi Marco,

So you can compile other documents to pdf (ie, your installation of miktex
and lyx were successful)?). Did you import your tex file into LyX? On which
system was your document compilable? What is your operating system and
version of LyX? These are all questions that you should have answered in
your original email.

shortcut inset?

[Xu Wang]

Hi, how can I enter a shortcut information type? Where is this covered in
the manuals?

For example, in the User Guide, it is written change the state of the
current paragraph (shortcut Alt+A I) in 3.2.3 Fine-Tuning


The latex code for the last part is written as

 \shortcut{Alt+A I}


When I right-click on the shortcut and go to settings it doesn't give me
a clue of how to reproduce it.


I tried googling LyX information type but that didn't give anything
useful.


Thank you,


Xu

Re: shortcut inset?

[Xu Wang]

Liviu,

That's very interesting! Unless I misunderstood your directions, you
answered a different, but more interesting question than what I originally
was after with my question. Thank you for that.

What I was originally (and still) interested in is: suppose I delete the
shortcut Alt+A I part of the User Guide that I posted. How do I put it
back in? (and no, performing an Undo is not a fair answer :) ). Note that
shortcut Alt+A I is not entered in normal text. It's not even editable
text. I think it is an inset. Is that correct?

Sorry for being unclear,

Xu

 I have problem with Ubuntu: the ./configure command works fine, but when I
 use the command make the process gives an error after the command

 CXXLD lyx

 and I receive the following message

 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined reference to

  This may not be sufficient. Try
 apt-get build-dep lyx
 ./configure --enable-build-type=release
 make
 make install


  If you compile for source it will take long.
 Alternative update lyx 2-* to the lates one,  you can use getdeb repository.
 I just update my lyx in Ubuntu 11.10 from getdeb. Only download 7+ MB,
 then your LyX will be updated to 2.0.2 (release 30/11/11).

   That of getdeb is a very good idea... but unfortunately it does not
 work. When I apply it, Ubuntu Software Center starts... and tells me that
 LyX has been installed today, but the version is still 2.0.1.
 On the other hand, the solution proposed by Waluyo did not work either.

Re: Numbering by section showed wrong!

Does it only show it wrong in LyX? Or does it also show wrong in the pdf

Re: Numbering by section showed wrong!

[Xu Wang]

OK great. I don't know how to solve your problem, but hopefully someone
will come along who can. It seems that you should try to improve your
question asking skills (yes, they are skills and require effort and
practice). You were given some great advice by Steve Litt:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg89979.html
Unfortunately you have either ignored or forgotten that advice. Please
study it again. I agree that .rar is not a good format to send in. Please
send in tar.gz.

You should *always* include your .lyx file (as small as possible but that
can still reproduce the problem)

Best of luck with everything!

+1 for vi keystrokes :)

But seriously, I don't think it would be fair to expect that. LyX is mean
to be focused on making things easy and straightforward for everyone. Vi
keystroke would not achieve that. I guess that could be an option, but it
shouldn't be LyX's focus.

Re: pros cons of using LyX's version control

Thank you for the replies, everyone. I will look into a couple of different
options. It seems like the first step is to pick a version control system
and then after see what options LyX provides.

 There is no built-in version control in LyX. We just offer easy
 interaction with the version control that is installed on your system.

 We also don't want to implement a version control GUI or something like
 that. There are other applications that are much better for that. You're
 able to configure the version control support pretty much to use the
 version control application of your choice.

 Where? I'm not aware of that feature...


 You can redefine the menu entries using vc-command.

pros cons of using LyX's version control

[Xu Wang]

I'm considering using LyX's built-in version control support. Are there any
drawbacks to using it? Do most people use it? What is the most popular
alternative?

Note that I'm on Linux. I don't have familiarity with SVN but I've been
meaning to learn it anyway for a while.

Thank you,

Re: Package varioref Sweave error

Graham,

That's interesting! haha yes, sometimes I have a similar problem of knowing
I made a backup but forgetting where. That's why I'm switching to using a
version control system. I think these are better than and dropbox-like
alternative because of regressions. You often don't want to go back to a
previous version, you just want to figure out what went wrong. I think that
version control systems are the best for this.

Glad everything is fine!

 Good point. I have just tried, and with SpiderOak you can easily
 download two historic versions of a file, and then diff them using
 Meld or similar. So this can be done, too.

 For simplistic usage, the big thingy missing from dropbox-like
 solutions is a log entry for each backup. This is why I tend to have a
 'change.log' file that I update when reaching some milestone, where I
 input the current date and a VC-like log entry. It's a bit hackish but

Re: Package varioref Sweave error

[Xu Wang]

Hi Graham,

Could you send a minimum working example (WME) of your .lyx file? My guess
is that you might be able to generate the same error by deleting most or
all of your document.

My only suggestion for now is to start a new LyX document, and then copy
from your old to your new. This will copy all of the content but will not
copy some of the underlying things in the .lyx file. This would be easy to
try and could solve your problem.

Best,

Xu

 Hello Xu

 Could you send a minimum working example (WME) of your .lyx file? My guess
 is that you might be able to generate the same error by deleting most or
 all of your document.

 My only suggestion for now is to start a new LyX document, and then copy
 from your old to your new. This will copy all of the content but will not
 copy some of the underlying things in the .lyx file. This would be easy to
 try and could solve your problem.


 I have copied all the text into a new document and it all seems to be
 working again. Which is great relief as I am very short of time trying to
 get this document finished for Tuesday.

 Thanks,

 Is there an obvious solution to this,

Re: Package varioref Sweave error

[Xu Wang]

Graham, I'm glad that worked for you!

I don't mean to be parental, but this should be a good reminder to you that
it's always good to save frequently and to save many different versions.
Ideally you should look into a version control system (which LyX actually
supports!), but at the least, make multiple backups, and not just one one
machine.

I hope you get everything done by Tuesday!

Re: Examples of integration between Lyx, Sage computations, and PDFLateX

[Xu Wang]

Dear Murat,

This is great! I have been waiting for something like this for a long time.
I also like the Sweave-like philosophy of this. It's more transparent and
reproducible.

I am looking forward to the final release with much excitement.

Thank you for your work!

 I meet two problems:

 just goes to the next line before inserting it...
 2/ I cannot type the sagetex instruction (*sage{}  ) by hand, because
  x^2 in the right member must not be interpreted by LyX, since Sage will
 need it for its computation.

 I can of course type everything in an ERT, but this cannot be called
 integration can it? ;-)

 I have reread again the help document on layouts and insets, and I have
 checked the files that come in the layout folder of LyX, but cannot find
 any answer to my question.

 Sorry for bothering you again with my problems... I hope that Sage
 integration will interest other people...

 I definitely need the help of a Lyx wizard who understands well the insets

 Just to show you the kind of niceties that such an integration can bring,
 I send you two files. One is the Lyx source and the other one is the final
 PDF.
 In Lyx, I just click on the  Preview button and wait a little bit to get
 the final PDF that I show here, with results of the computations done by
 Sage and converted back to Latex.

 The module isfar from perfect yet (this is the first module I am
 creating), a better integration between the Latex output by Sage, and the
 math mode in LyX would be implemented to have nice equations typeset with
 equation numbers and what not. You can also see that the output of the
 integral by Sage is not very beautiful...

 I will continue to work on this module, but it is already useful for me
 and eliminates some regrets I feel ;-), since I have dropped Scientific
 Workplace in favor of LyX.

 I hope that you will like this new possibilities.

Re: Sweave in french with Latex

Can you run Sweave in English?

Are you using the Sweave module?

Were you able to run Sweave in French before version 2?

Are you using 2.0.1?
