Anyone can help me ?? Just for information what I have been answered to that topic some days ago: There may be two reasons for that: 1. Edit C:\Cygwin\lyxprofile and set the correct IP address, followed by an ':0' for DISPLAY. If you have an Ethernet card installed on your system please use it's IP address instead of 127.0.0.1! Most X-Servers automatically serve the default IP address of your system. 127.0.0.1 (or localhost, i.e. the corresponding net name) is only valifd if you do have a DUN on your system. 2. If you have installed a firewall on your system (like me) than you have to create a new rule so that LyX can connect to the X-server. (Take a look at your firewall distributor, to learn how this has to be made!) I use the x-server Exceed from Hummingbird which worked correctly in the previous release. Because it was running I expect that editing lyxprofile could fix the problem! Claus

Something interesting to pass along
Group:
You may have seen my posts about trying to get what I called FloatNotes to be
in a certain place in a document. In my research, I found in _The Latex
Companion_ by Goossens, et.al., p. 149, you can go one step more than just
h,t,p,b. There is also H. h only means try to put it here while H means put
it here--PERIOD.
\begin{table}[H]
blah blah blah table
\end{tabular}
\caption{info about table}
\end{table}
It cannot be used in conjunction with other specifiers though, i.e., [Hht] is
illegal. You must, of course, issue a command to use the package...
\restylefloat{table} or \restylefloat{figure}
The book goes on to explain what is called a wrapfigure. Close to what I was
trying to do with Float Note. See pg 152 of the book for more details.
Trying to absorb more info to get EXACTLY what the boss wants.
Thanks to all for your help...hope this is helpful to others as well.

UPDATE: LyX to (html,ps,pdf) script
Update: A. Poenitz found a dumb quoting error I made in yesterday's posting of this script (note to self: don't post code at 3am when too tired to think). The attached version is fixed and should work (I *did* check it :-) Fernando. -- Forwarded message -- Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 03:03:50 -0600 (MDT) Subject: LyX to (html,ps,pdf) script Hi Lyxers, attached is a Perl script I wrote called lyxpub (short for lyx publish, for lack of a better name!). It borrows heavily from contributions by S. Evers, but tries to be a bit cleaner and more robust (also do more). From the mini-documentation: A simple Perl script which takes a LyX or TeX file as its only argument (with or without extension) and produces HTML, PostScript and PDF versions of the document. I have tested it with some documents and it seems to work, but I'm sure there are still many problems with it. Hopefully it will be useful to others, and I would appreciate any comments/suggestions/bug reports/bug fixes (especially the latter! :-) Feel free to play with it and let me know what you think. Hopefully it will ease the pain of making multiple versions from a LyX document in all the cases when a simple lyx --export doesn't do what you want. Regards, Fernando. PS: If anyone thinks it is appropriate, feel free to repost to the lyx-devel list. lyxpub.gz
Acknowledgements and Abstract in report class??
I am writing a thesis in Lyx... I am finished with the thesis (I hope) but I must add an acknowledgement page at the beginning right after the title page and an abstract page at the very end. I am using the report (textcomp) class to write it, and can not figure out how to do this. Both the ack and the abstract just need to be plain text types of pages (nothing fancy), less the title words Acknowledgement and Abstract in large type bold (like the size of a chapter heading for instace). Anyone have any ideas or prebuilt files for this?? I would normally just do it in a seperate document, but according to the graduate school those pages must be numbered also. Thanks. Bob

but when i try to the rowcolor command i got some trouble.
I add the package colortbl in the preamble.
It doesn't work in lyx tables i tried {\rowcolor[gray]{.9}} and
\rowcolor[gray]{.9}, but in

Does anybody know, if there is a possibility to use the rowcolor command

Another option is to put the following in the preamble,

Anyone can help me ?? Just for information what I have been answered to that topic some days ago: There may be two reasons for that: 1. Edit C:\Cygwin\lyxprofile and set the correct IP address, followed by an ':0' for DISPLAY. If you have an Ethernet card installed on your system please use it's IP address instead of 127.0.0.1! Most X-Servers automatically serve the default IP address of your system. 127.0.0.1 (or localhost, i.e. the corresponding net name) is only valifd if you do have a DUN on your system. 2. If you have installed a firewall on your system (like me) than you have to create a new rule so that LyX can connect to the X-server. (Take a look at your firewall distributor, to learn how this has to be made!) I use the x-server Exceed from Hummingbird which worked correctly in the previous release. Because it was running I expect that editing lyxprofile could fix the problem! Claus

Something interesting to pass along
Group:
You may have seen my posts about trying to get what I called FloatNotes to be
in a certain place in a document. In my research, I found in _The Latex
Companion_ by Goossens, et.al., p. 149, you can go one step more than just
h,t,p,b. There is also H. h only means try to put it here while H means put
it here--PERIOD.
\begin{table}[H]
blah blah blah table
\end{tabular}
\caption{info about table}
\end{table}
It cannot be used in conjunction with other specifiers though, i.e., [Hht] is
illegal. You must, of course, issue a command to use the package...
\restylefloat{table} or \restylefloat{figure}
The book goes on to explain what is called a wrapfigure. Close to what I was
trying to do with Float Note. See pg 152 of the book for more details.
Trying to absorb more info to get EXACTLY what the boss wants.
Thanks to all for your help...hope this is helpful to others as well.

UPDATE: LyX to (html,ps,pdf) script
Update: A. Poenitz found a dumb quoting error I made in yesterday's posting of this script (note to self: don't post code at 3am when too tired to think). The attached version is fixed and should work (I *did* check it :-) Fernando. -- Forwarded message -- Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 03:03:50 -0600 (MDT) Subject: LyX to (html,ps,pdf) script Hi Lyxers, attached is a Perl script I wrote called lyxpub (short for lyx publish, for lack of a better name!). It borrows heavily from contributions by S. Evers, but tries to be a bit cleaner and more robust (also do more). From the mini-documentation: A simple Perl script which takes a LyX or TeX file as its only argument (with or without extension) and produces HTML, PostScript and PDF versions of the document. I have tested it with some documents and it seems to work, but I'm sure there are still many problems with it. Hopefully it will be useful to others, and I would appreciate any comments/suggestions/bug reports/bug fixes (especially the latter! :-) Feel free to play with it and let me know what you think. Hopefully it will ease the pain of making multiple versions from a LyX document in all the cases when a simple lyx --export doesn't do what you want. Regards, Fernando.

Acknowledgements and Abstract in report class??
I am writing a thesis in Lyx... I am finished with the thesis (I hope) but I must add an acknowledgement page at the beginning right after the title page and an abstract page at the very end. I am using the report (textcomp) class to write it, and can not figure out how to do this. Both the ack and the abstract just need to be plain text types of pages (nothing fancy), less the title words Acknowledgement and Abstract in large type bold (like the size of a chapter heading for instace). Anyone have any ideas or prebuilt files for this?? I would normally just do it in a seperate document, but according to the graduate school those pages must be numbered also. Thanks. Bob

Thanks for the tip with "command-sequence".
(Dear documenters: could I have found it somewhere in the documentation??
->otherwise this is a documentation request)
Actually,
\bind "C-S-underscore" "command-sequence math-insert _; math-insert mathrm;"
did not do what I wanted either (especially becouse then I have a red mathrm
in my Text.)
However, it brought me on the right track: in my bind.gm I have now
# subscript and superscript with roman fonts
\bind "C-S-underscore""command-sequence math-insert _; font-roman;"
\bind "C-asciicircum" "command-sequence math-insert ^; font-roman;"
and this works like expected (and WYSIWYM).

Thanks for the tip with "font-something", I was thinking it was only a
text mode feature (I don't know why, this kind of fix idea you never

Help with Lyx for windows

Then put the following at the beginning of the float you want to change
\let\origsubfigure\subfigure
\renewcommand\subfigure[2][]{%
\hspace{10bp}\origsubfigure[#1]{#2}\hspace{10bp}%
}
Another option is to put the following in the preamble,
\let\origsubfigure\subfigure
\newcommand\mysubfigure[2][]{%
\hspace{10bp}\origsubfigure[#1]{#2}\hspace{10bp}%
}
and at the beginning of the float you want to change put
\let\subfigure\mysubfigure

You could try setting environment variables like set DISPLAY=localhost:0 and replace localhost with your computer's name if the above doesn't work. Or try running lyx with argument "-display localhost:0" Can you run remotely X programs from real unix computers?

Just for information what I have been answered to that topic some days ago: There may be two reasons for that: 1. Edit C:\Cygwin\lyxprofile and set the correct IP address, followed by an ':0' for DISPLAY. If you have an Ethernet card installed on your system please use it's IP address instead of 127.0.0.1! Most X-Servers automatically serve the default IP address of your system. 127.0.0.1 (or localhost, i.e. the corresponding net name) is only valifd if you do have a DUN on your system. 2. If you have installed a firewall on your system (like me) than you have to create a new rule so that LyX can connect to the X-server. (Take a look at your firewall distributor, to learn how this has to be made!) > I use the x-server Exceed from Hummingbird which worked correctly in the > previous release. Because it was running I expect that editing lyxprofile could fix the problem! Claus

If I delete the whole preamble then my redefined footnote indentation gets lost and I get a split footnote... :-( Is there no way to save my settings?

Something interesting to pass along
Group:
You may have seen my posts about trying to get what I called "FloatNotes" to be
in a certain place in a document. In my research, I found in _The Latex
Companion_ by Goossens, et.al., p. 149, you can go one step more than just
h,t,p,b. There is also H. h only means "try to put it here" while H means put
it here--PERIOD.
\begin{table}[H]
blah blah blah table
\end{tabular}
\caption{info about table}
\end{table}
It cannot be used in conjunction with other specifiers though, i.e., [Hht] is
illegal. You must, of course, issue a command to use the package...
\restylefloat{table} or \restylefloat{figure}
The book goes on to explain what is called a wrapfigure. Close to what I was
trying to do with Float Note. See pg 152 of the book for more details.
Trying to absorb more info to get EXACTLY what the boss wants.
Thanks to all for your help...hope this is helpful to others as well.

UPDATE: LyX to (html,ps,pdf) script
Update: A. Poenitz found a dumb quoting error I made in yesterday's posting of this script (note to self: don't post code at 3am when too tired to think). The attached version is fixed and should work (I *did* check it :-) Fernando. -- Forwarded message -- Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 03:03:50 -0600 (MDT) Subject: LyX to (html,ps,pdf) script Hi Lyxers, attached is a Perl script I wrote called lyxpub (short for "lyx publish", for lack of a better name!). It borrows heavily from contributions by S. Evers, but tries to be a bit cleaner and more robust (also do more). >From the mini-documentation: A simple Perl script which takes a LyX or TeX file as its only argument (with or without extension) and produces HTML, PostScript and PDF versions of the document. I have tested it with some documents and it seems to work, but I'm sure there are still many problems with it. Hopefully it will be useful to others, and I would appreciate any comments/suggestions/bug reports/bug fixes (especially the latter! :-) Feel free to play with it and let me know what you think. Hopefully it will ease the pain of making multiple versions from a LyX document in all the cases when a simple lyx --export doesn't do what you want. Regards, Fernando. PS: If anyone thinks it is appropriate, feel free to repost to the lyx-devel list. lyxpub.gz
Acknowledgements and Abstract in report class??
I am writing a thesis in Lyx... I am finished with the thesis (I hope) but I must add an acknowledgement page at the beginning right after the title page and an abstract page at the very end. I am using the report (textcomp) class to write it, and can not figure out how to do this. Both the ack and the abstract just need to be plain text types of pages (nothing fancy), less the title words Acknowledgement and Abstract in large type bold (like the size of a chapter heading for instace). Anyone have any ideas or prebuilt files for this?? I would normally just do it in a seperate document, but according to the graduate school those pages must be numbered also. Thanks. Bob

Detlev PS: If there is no "hope for my indentation" - why does Lyx/Latex take into consideration the footnote indentation when placing the footnotes? Is there no command to prevent misplacing?

bibtex and the natdin package using command like citet and citep
Hallo,
i am using the natdin package in combination with lyx 1.1.6 fix 1 in
order to get a bibliography close to the german din 1505.
I use the following customizing:
preamble usepackage{natbib}
and the stayle natdin.bst
Normal cites are working finem, but the command \citet and \citep for
special labels are not working, has anybody an idea?
Thanks Arnd
corloured rows in tables; colortbl package
Hello,
i am using lyx 1.1.6 fix 1 and i want to colour rows in tables.
For columns i use the command >{\columncolor[gray]{.9}} and it works
very well,
but when i try to the rowcolor command i got some trouble.
I add the package colortbl in the preamble.
It doesn't work in lyx tables i tried >{\rowcolor[gray]{.9}} and
\rowcolor[gray]{.9}, but in
naitive latex (red) tabluars the command \rowcolor[gray]{.9} works.
Does anybody know, if there is a possibility to use the rowcolor command
in lyx tables?
Thanks Arnd
Ispell Problem
Hello all, I have just finished installing Lyx on a win2k machine running Cygwin. When I want to spell check the document, the GUI freezes and it tells me that the spell checker has died and that I should install a dictionary. I am using American/English. I thought the dictionaries for these languages are installed by default and in fact I am able to see the hash files. In the spell checker settings, I have use the document's default language dictionary which is English. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your time and help. Amer

ps2pdf
Hi!
I'm trying to convert some foiltex to pdf for a presentation.
I put \usepackage[ps2pdf]{hyperref} in the latex preamble.
ps2pdf works fine but the colors and the fonts come out terrible on
acroread on the pc. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Re: ps2pdf
if you write n your preamble:
\usepackage{times}
it will deliver a much more readble pdf, but you might get a
'windows-like' font-effect.
