Re: Error while exporting format: \converter----Thanks

[Hal Kierstead via lyx-users]

Paul -

Many thanks; your question was enough for me to find the problem. For some 
reason, the Default Output Format with tex fonts was blank—I fixed this. I have 
no idea how this happened all of a sudden. Anyway it works now.

Hi friends,

I'm really thankful for all the people, who contribute to this wonderful 
LyX and this kind email-list. Many times I've found here important 
support, often I've learned about some deep mystics of LyX & LateX, and 
sometimes I've could help some other people with a little advice.


And not totally off topic :-)
theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli has just published a nice book with 
short essays with the title:
"There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than 
Kindness And Other Thoughts on Physics, Philosophy and the World".


Might our LyX-list also in future be such a place, where kindness is 
more important than a gathering of RTFM's.


Again, thank you all very much -
bernhard

Osman,

you are welcome.

If you want (further) help (on a topic) it is important to follow the
thread, so perhaps try harder to find out or in any case on the Mac CMD-R
would probably to that and then one can always Right-Click on the
message and see what that does.

in an author list, footnotes are translated to \thanks, which I'm using for

How do I get the corresponding footnotes to be numbered?

Thank you.

This is document-class dependent. You may be able to use ERT to make a
real footnote, but that too is document-class dependent.

Resetting of footnote numbers is handled by the document class, as far

Thanks for LyX

[Steve Litt]

Hi LyX developers and community,

I'm putting the finishing touches on the first draft of a 100K word book, and 
while typing I was thinking how wonderful LyX is, and how grateful I am for 
LyX. Unlike other writing tools, LyX ignores accidental double spaces or 
accidental double newlines. It never crashes except in on very specific math 
activity, so you just back up a lot in math. It never screws up your file. 

It's WYSIWYG enough to see what's what in the editing environment without 
compiling to PDF, but not so WYSIWYG to introduce code bloat and instability.

LyX is built for speed. I've had a 6000 word day using LyX, a couple 5000 word 
days, and several 4000 word days.

Thanks so much for this spectacular writing tool.

Re: Thanks for LyX

[Manolo Martínez]

I wanted to take the chance provided by one of the periodic thanks for
lyx messages that Steve sends :) to tell my own success story. Next
Friday I finally have the public defence of my doctoral dissertation. It
has been written in LyX from scratch, and it's been a pleasure to do so.
And, while the content is very debatable, it looks seriously beautiful.
You guys appear in the acknowledgements and, as I guess you will not be
reading it anytime soon, let me copy here the relevant passage:

I would also like to thank the online community that has made the actual
process of writing and typesetting this dissertation so much easier, by
developing the software and helping newbies like me to undertand and
benefit from it. Among many others: the LyX developers that read the
LyX-users mailing list, André Miede for creating the beautiful LaTeX
syle I have used to typeset the dissertation, and Nick Mariette who
ported it to LyX. Details on how to get the amazing set of tools
provided by this group of incredibly generous people can be found in
page 229.

So, yeah, thanks for LyX.

In like vein, I just finished a 60 page protocol document
for a piece of highly configurable instrumentation.

I spent less than 2 weeks on it.  I could have used Word
like my client thought he wanted and then milked it for
another 2 weeks. :-)  Just for the record, I used the
article class.

BTW, I not a professional tech-writer.  I'm an electrical
engineer who also writes mainly embedded firmware.  While I
have many painful memories of troff, I no experience to
speak of with Latex.  The point being, one can be productive
with Lyx w/o being a Tex guru.

Feeling adventurous, I pulled down the SVN version and
used that because I wanted some of the new features not
back-ported to 1.6.x.  I suffered a few crashes, but was

Thanks for LyX

[Steve Litt]

Hi LyX developers and community,

I'm putting the finishing touches on the first draft of a 100K word book, and 
while typing I was thinking how wonderful LyX is, and how grateful I am for 
LyX. Unlike other writing tools, LyX ignores accidental double spaces or 
accidental double newlines. It never crashes except in on very specific math 
activity, so you just back up a lot in math. It never screws up your file. 

It's WYSIWYG enough to see what's what in the editing environment without 
compiling to PDF, but not so WYSIWYG to introduce code bloat and instability.

LyX is built for speed. I've had a 6000 word day using LyX, a couple 5000 word 
days, and several 4000 word days.

Thanks so much for this spectacular writing tool.

Re: Thanks for LyX

[Manolo Martínez]

I wanted to take the chance provided by one of the periodic thanks for
lyx messages that Steve sends :) to tell my own success story. Next
Friday I finally have the public defence of my doctoral dissertation. It
has been written in LyX from scratch, and it's been a pleasure to do so.
And, while the content is very debatable, it looks seriously beautiful.
You guys appear in the acknowledgements and, as I guess you will not be
reading it anytime soon, let me copy here the relevant passage:

I would also like to thank the online community that has made the actual
process of writing and typesetting this dissertation so much easier, by
developing the software and helping newbies like me to undertand and
benefit from it. Among many others: the LyX developers that read the
LyX-users mailing list, André Miede for creating the beautiful LaTeX
syle I have used to typeset the dissertation, and Nick Mariette who
ported it to LyX. Details on how to get the amazing set of tools
provided by this group of incredibly generous people can be found in
page 229.

So, yeah, thanks for LyX.

Thanks, problem solved

[Robert_Schiemann]

Hey everybody,

 

thanks to anyone who tried to contribute to a solution fort he given
problem. I am very glad that I could be helpen *very* fast!

 

For all those who are interested: I used control + v to insert the tikz code
into lyx, which overwrote newline-characters so that the code inserted was
mutated. I learnt that it is better to use edit-paste-special-plain text.

 

Thanks again!

Thanks for outline mode

[Steve Litt]

Developers:

Thanks for outline mode. A few days ago I wrote 4 new chapters and put them at 
the end of the book. Later I used outline mode to move each chapter to its 
optimal location. It was a 5 minute operation.

In the old days I've have had to use cut and paste, and would have had to 
triple-verify I got the right stuff, triple verify that I was putting it in the 
right new location, and taken lots of antacid to prevent the ulcers that come 
from cutting and pasting whole chapters.

Thanks for making outline mode. It's a truly great feature!

Also thanks to Jürgen for his post regarding this matter, it also is

I actually did the LyX upgrade, when I went from Debian Lenny [stable]

Again many thanks to you both.

Thanks for the Alternative Installer!

Just a quick note to say thanks for the Alternative Installer for LyX 
1.6.2. Having banged my head against a brick wall for a day trying to 
get EPS/PDF previews to work using the standard Windows installer, 
messing around with paths etc., the complete alternative installer Just 
Worked.

 I see you already got some answers for how this is done for the entire

 just Insert-Formatting-Ligature Break somewhere inside the word you want

 Or insert anything else that don't produce output, such as an empty TeX

A big thanks to everybody for the quick, useful replies.

There is no doubt that one of the best things about LyX is the LyX community.

 Dear developers,

 I'd like to thank you for developing LyX !

 I've just finished my PhD in Marine Science and I used LyX to write the  
 final document and the four papers that compose the PhD. I never had

 in a few hours with the information on the web.

 Thank you very much.

 If you are using the package babel, insert this in the preamble:

 \addto\captionsspanish{\renewcommand{\listfigurename}{\'Indice de
 Figuras}}

 That works for spanish babel option. You can change the aspect of the
 title. For example: {\bfseries\rm\Huge{\'Indice de Figuras}}. And so on.

 Hello,
 I have a question.

 I am writting a thesis in spanish (Argentinien spanish) in Lyx, the
 document class is BOOK. And I have inserted a List of figures.

 But I have a problem with the translation into spanish of: List of
 figures, Lyx translates as Indice de cuadros, but is not the right
 translation.

 And I do not  know what I shoul write in the Preamble in order to get
 Indice de figuras as the right traslation.

 I hope someone could advise me.

 Thanks!!

optional arguments for the Thanks style:

@@ -195,6 +195,7 @@

LatexName thanks
InTitle   1

Maybe this should be made clear in the abovementioned thread as well.

optional argument to thanks section in v1.5.4 broken?

In v1.3, Elsevier articles could have their thanks references made through an
optional argument, as seen in this post:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/21473/match=OptArg

But when I copy that lyx code into a file and open it with lyx 1.5.4, the
optional argument shows up on the screen, but not in the tex code.  Is it a
bug in lyx 1.5.4 that optional arguments are ignored?

Self-publishing with LyX - thanks for the feedback

[Typhoon]

Dear everyone,
Thanks very much to all who have given me comments on the book, both
on-list and off. Very much appreciated, and I will make suggested
amendments as time goes on.

To clarify availability:

Printed and download versions available from Lulu:
http://www.lulu.com/content/1085870

Download version available from: http://web.aanet.com.au/sage/lyx.pdf

Both are now the same, compiled with \usepackage{lmodern}.

I apologise to community members who took exception to Lulu's
requirements of registration, etc. I never noticed it since I have an
account there anyway.

And special thanks to the developers of LyX. You guys are terrific!

Cheers,
Alan
