Considering this, I have to expand my table with a 5th case:

May be, the least confusing way would be to offer case 4 and 5 (with 4 as
default). Then the user will get clear feedback if something unexpected
happens.

different situations (e.g. with/without AMS).

nonstandard extension (e.g. from an unsupported/partially supported
package). -- might be usefull, as LaTeX is too manifold (and there are
too many packages) as LyX could support everything by default.
* 4 "simple" macro: that is what it is now (although only for math mode)
* 5 for redefining with visual feedback (e.g. use \varomega for \omega)

hyperref and math in headers
I spend really long time for debugging and finally noticed why I couldn't get hyperref working: pdflatex gives errors if there are math in numbered sections. Are there any workaround (except "don't do that")?
Different alignment in a column
Hi, before asking you I've to tell you that I'm still using lyx1.1.5fix1. My question is whether it is possible to set different alignments (left, right, center) within one column by dialog. The dialog 'Table layout' sets the alignment of the whole column. The 'paragraph layout' sets the alignment of the whole table. Up to now I'm managing this with a parbox within the cell. Are there 'smarter' solutions (dialogs) in later versions? Regards Martin

Hi Dekel,
I did some checking, and I found some validity in Nick Burgan's message: the
documents that are still stored in my ~/gdb/My Documents directory still show
this problem. (A short example attached at the end of this message.) This
same document, when placed in ~/gdb does not show this problem. However, I
know that in the past other documents in my ~/gdb directory have shown this
problem as well. However, since that time, I have done as others suggested
and opened the LyX files in emacs to check for any mangled contents. And, I
think I even this did not resolve the problem.
If my memory serves me, I went ahead and re-imported the files into a new
file to correct the problem. (Then I went ahead and removed the old file, and
renamed the new file to the old name.) During the import process, I do
recall seeing babel files in my home directory, but believe that I removed
them as I did the rest of the cleanup.

When I first installed 1.1.6fix1 I was having the same problem. After messing
around for ages what seemed to be causing the problem was that I had a space
in the name of the directory in which the file was located. If you remove any
spaces or other strange characters (dashes "-" etc ) from the everywhere in
the directory tree of the file the problem goes away. Or if you move the file
to another appropriately named directory and open it from there, there is no
problem.
I hope this is of some help

I think that this command is a bad idea (and does not exist in latex
for the same reason): it is clear that most first time users will use
this version (why would they do anything else?) and then, after they
have redefined \def to some nifty value, will get even more confused.
Considering this, I have to expand my table with a 5th case:
| command already defined | command not defined | LaTeX command
---
1 | use my version | use my version | (Dekel's \setcommand)
2 | use default version | use my version | \providecommand
3 | use default version | warn me (i.e. error) | {}
4 | warn me (i.e. error)| use my version | \newcommand
5 | use my version | warn me (i.e. error) | \renewcommand
May be, the least confusing way would be to offer case 4 and 5 (with 4 as
default). Then the user will get clear feedback if something unexpected
happens.
* 1 simple but dangerous
* 2 might be usefull in circumstances where the macro shall be reused in
different situations (e.g. with/without AMS).
* 3 would offer a possibility to "teach" LyX a WYSIWYM replacement for a
nonstandard extension (e.g. from an unsupported/partially supported
package). -- might be usefull, as LaTeX is too manifold (and there are
too many packages) as LyX could support everything by default.
* 4 "simple" macro: that is what it is now (although only for math mode)
* 5 for redefining with visual feedback (e.g. use \varomega for \omega)
Use With Care!!
We should not help people to shoot themselves in the foot.
However, we should not guard them by measures that prevent them from
walking.

hyperref and math in headers
I spend really long time for debugging and finally noticed why I couldn't get hyperref working: pdflatex gives errors if there are math in numbered sections. Are there any workaround (except "don't do that")?
Different alignment in a column
Hi, before asking you I've to tell you that I'm still using lyx1.1.5fix1. My question is whether it is possible to set different alignments (left, right, center) within one column by dialog. The dialog 'Table layout' sets the alignment of the whole column. The 'paragraph layout' sets the alignment of the whole table. Up to now I'm managing this with a parbox within the cell. Are there 'smarter' solutions (dialogs) in later versions? Regards Martin

Re: Missing \begin{document}
I downloaded and installed lyx-1.1.6fix1 and when I try to process
(convert to LaTeX od print) the file I get the error message:
\missing{begin{document}
The problem is that the program sometime before `beginning' the
document, calls the file english.cfg.
How can tjis be fixed?
This might be the result of an unclosed { in the preamble.
While this may be true, might I suggest then that there is something
going wrong between LyX 1.1.5 and 1.1.6? I have a number of files that I
was working on in 1.1.5 that never exhibited this problem, but the moment
I opened them in 1.1.6 they started exhibiting this exact same problem.
Do you have an example document ?
One difference between 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 is that the latter always use babel,
but I don't know if that is the cause of the problem.
Hi Dekel,
I did some checking, and I found some validity in Nick Burgan's message: the
documents that are still stored in my ~/gdb/My Documents directory still show
this problem. (A short example attached at the end of this message.) This
same document, when placed in ~/gdb does not show this problem. However, I
know that in the past other documents in my ~/gdb directory have shown this
problem as well. However, since that time, I have done as others suggested
and opened the LyX files in emacs to check for any mangled contents. And, I
think I even this did not resolve the problem.
If my memory serves me, I went ahead and re-imported the files into a new
file to correct the problem. (Then I went ahead and removed the old file, and
renamed the new file to the old name.) During the import process, I do
recall seeing babel files in my home directory, but believe that I removed
them as I did the rest of the cleanup.

When I first installed 1.1.6fix1 I was having the same problem. After messing
around for ages what seemed to be causing the problem was that I had a space
in the name of the directory in which the file was located. If you remove any
spaces or other strange characters (dashes "-" etc ) from the everywhere in
the directory tree of the file the problem goes away. Or if you move the file
to another appropriately named directory and open it from there, there is no
problem.
I hope this is of some help

This may happen if there is somewhere a file called english.cfg which
is not a latex file... I had the problem here when someone decided
that installing the latex2rtf support files in the tex tree was a good
idea.
So the problem is to find out what this english.cfg file is. What does

default). Then the user will get clear feedback if something unexpected

try a \protect before your lyx mathbox or
\newcommand\myMath{ .. lyx blue math box ...}
and than in your title
bla... \protect\myMath ...

Doesn't help. And it seems that LyX outputs two \protects automatically in
the TeX anyway.

Still gives errors.
Anyway, it seems I found a fix. I used $-math, eg. $N=32$ instead of LyX
blue box. Not a wysiwym way, but I'm not going to put complex formulas
anyway in headers.
I learned the $-math way from looking Maxima's TeX output. What is the
difference between this and what LyX does anyway? Why should I use one of
them instead of another?

Hi Dekel,
I did some checking, and I found some validity in Nick Burgan's message: the
documents that are still stored in my ~/gdb/My Documents directory still show
this problem. (A short example attached at the end of this message.) This
same document, when placed in ~/gdb does not show this problem. However, I
know that in the past other documents in my ~/gdb directory have shown this
problem as well. However, since that time, I have done as others suggested
and opened the LyX files in emacs to check for any mangled contents. And, I
think I even this did not resolve the problem.
If my memory serves me, I went ahead and re-imported the files into a new
file to correct the problem. (Then I went ahead and removed the old file, and
renamed the new file to the old name.) During the import process, I do
recall seeing babel files in my home directory, but believe that I removed
them as I did the rest of the cleanup.

When I first installed 1.1.6fix1 I was having the same problem. After messing
around for ages what seemed to be causing the problem was that I had a space
in the name of the directory in which the file was located. If you remove any
spaces or other strange characters (dashes "-" etc ) from the everywhere in
the directory tree of the file the problem goes away. Or if you move the file
to another appropriately named directory and open it from there, there is no
problem.
I hope this is of some help

Ghostscript error and LyX instability
I'm getting the following error when I run LyX 1.1.5fix2: Aladdin Ghostscript 6.01: Cannot get ghostview property. Unable to open the initial device, quitting. GS [5266] error 65280 E:1 255 S:0 0 I'm not sure if these are related, but LyX is becoming unstable in that it crashes after I try to click on some of the menus. I'm not sure how do go about finding the problem. Any ideas?? Thanks!! Kevin -- -| Kevin W. Bowman, PhD.

$N=32$ is equivalent to \( N=32 \) or \begin{math}N=32\end{math}
lyx prefers \( ... \) for inline math.

LyX instability: addendum
I previously mentioned that LyX 1.1.5fix2 has been instable, but I've narrowed the problem: whenever I click on the Refs menu, LyX crashes. This does not appear to occur with any of the other menus. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Thanks, Kevin -- -| Kevin W. Bowman, PhD.

You probably meant <{\raggedleft}p{2cm}, but this will generate the same
error since \raggedleft redefines the \\ macro.
The solution is to use
>{\let\temp=\\\raggedleft\let\\=\temp}p{2cm}
(you also need to put \usepackage{array} in the preamble).

You can set the width to 2cm so you get WYSIWYM

no, i meant exactly that!
the tex-code for my demo-table is:
\begin{tabular}{|m{1cm}|c|c|c|p{2cm}<{\raggedleft}|}
why should this generate an error?

help needed with indexes
Hello list, I've been working on a big lyx file (800 Kb) for a while, and now I have a problem: how can I make multiple indexes? I want, i.e., a separated Names Index, Places Index, Quotations Index etc. and the "Add Index List" command seems inadequate for that. I tryed with some inline \latex and \makeindex hack, but I did not find a solution. Has anyone solved this problem? Thanks, Carlo Salinari

This does sound like you have a wrong version of the XForms library (a version that was compiled for glibc 2.0), so you do need to install the correct version.

I got a little bit confused...
Your suggestion will not generate an error, but it will work only if there
is one paragraph in each cell.

Adjusting to that will only take a couple of weeks longer than switching to Emacs bindings from CUA. It also hasn't made me any less clumsy, but now my mistakes are less painful since my fingers don't have to move as much. :) I do like your suggestion about changing bindings, though. What I'd probably do in that case is just disable keyboard shortcuts for "Close file" and "Revert", figuring if I needed them I could use the menus. -- // Carl Hudkins :: ICQ 5723399 // // "Wake me when it's over, touch my face // Tell me every word has been erased..." --TMBG
1.2-cvs and math-ed
Is there something broken in math-ed? The possibility to make single rows unnumbered is no longer... The last .rpm I used where this worked is from 6 of march. I've got a "Display formula" with 3 col's and 9 row's, row 2, 5,6 and 7 is to be unnumbered. I'm using Kayvan Sylvan's .rpm of LyX-1.2 on RH7.0.
