That sounds like a thoroughly bad idea. It is true that sometimes you
can edit .lyx files with an editor, but that is only because of
limitations in LyX. IMHO the best view of .lyx files is that they
should be treated as hackable binary files.

Hi folks,
I come from a purely humanities background, and the interesting thing
about what has been said here is that, the more I use lyx, the more I
realise that I need to know tex/latex.
For that reason I am now patiently going through beginners latex
books,
using gedit- I am not yet ready to face emacs+auctex. (I use emacs only
for the most basic of editing when X won't behave and I need to use a
console to fix it).
This list and the issues discussed on it have brought  me to the
realisation that I actually need to learn latex in order to make the
best use of lyx. Per haps I may eventually cease using lyx, but I doubt
it: lyx has replaced all normal word processors in my life: the
quality of it's output on the printed page, and in other formats, is
infinitely superior to any other writing tool I have used. Knowing latex
more deeply can only improve my use of it. :-)
Generally, a big thank you to everyone on this list, because
just reading through your comments is an invaluable learning experience
for me. And, of course, to the lyx developers, latex authors, Donald
Knuth,and is there anyone I have forgotten? (Of course there is!)
Cheers

IIRC, texmaker is a Windows Kile-like editor.

There are versions of Emacs out there that are precompiled with AUCTeX 
and preview-latex (actually, one and the same thing in the latest 
version). I have it running under Windows XP SP2 and it works quite well 
as long as I don't try to preview in PDFLaTeX mode. Installation was 
easy, I just had to run an executable. In fact I am liking the

never need anything but Lyx (I am a LaTeX user for many years, though, 
and know quite a few of the commands I need---Lyx is perfect for those

To get the precompiled Emacs (I have 22.0.50) with AUCTeX (I have 11.81, 
but 11.82 is ready, I believe) you can Google emacs+auctex-w32. I just 
did it, and found this mirror:

IIRC, texmaker is a Windows Kile-like editor.

There are versions of Emacs out there that are precompiled with AUCTeX 
and preview-latex (actually, one and the same thing in the latest 
version). I have it running under Windows XP SP2 and it works quite well 
as long as I don't try to preview in PDFLaTeX mode. Installation was 
easy, I just had to run an executable. In fact I am liking the 
Emacs-AUCTeX-preview-latex combination so much that I have been working 
on it exclusively lately, even though about a year ago I thought I would 
never need anything but Lyx (I am a LaTeX user for many years, though, 
and know quite a few of the commands I need---Lyx is perfect for those 
who don't).


To get the precompiled Emacs (I have 22.0.50) with AUCTeX (I have 11.81, 
but 11.82 is ready, I believe) you can Google emacs+auctex-w32. I just 
did it, and found this mirror:

http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/gnu/alpha/gnu/auctex/

Hope this helps.

To correct myself, installation is even easier. I just had to unzip a 
directory, and then emacs runs by executing "runemacs" from the bin 
subdirectory of that directory.

Emacs and Xemacs have their own Windows installers and
can be used to program in several languages and send email.
Kile doesn't run natively on Windows, but perhaps with Cygwin. 





Editors for LaTeX-files with syntax highlighting

2006-02-02 Thread Uwe Stöhr

Hello LyXers,

the next version of the windows installer will have support for editors 
with which LaTeX-files can be viewed with highlighted syntax. Currently 
I have built in support for jEdit, WinShell, TeXnicCenter, WinEdt, and 
WinTeX.
The first editor that is found on the system will be set as viewer for 
LaTeX-files within LyX.


Do you kow other editors that offer syntax-highlighting for LaTeX and 
run on Windows?


thanks and regards
Uwe

A side question -- does anyone know of further developments of a (vim) 
syntax file for the LyX file format? Someone had posted the beginnings 
of one a while ago.
