Problems with lyx command line in WIN32/Cygwin environment
Hi everybody, I found a very strange problem in win32/cygwin environment using lyx commandline. When I try to translate a lyx file into .tex format using command line lyx --export latex YYY.lyx, it reported as following: ** Traceback (most recent call last): File e:/lyx/lyx/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx, line 18, in ? import getopt, sys, string, re ImportError: No module named getopt -- ERROR! An error occured while running the conversion script. ** It sounds like the installation of LyX win32 lacked some module named getopt but I found getopt.py and getopt.pyc in the e:/lyx/lyx/bin/lib/ directory. Besides, some other files could be translated smoothly and if I use the export option in LyX GUI, the YYY.lyx could also be sucessfully translated into YYY.tex. Anybody could give some hints ?

Do you have symlinks libflimage.so - libflimage.so.1, etc? If not, does adding them make the linker happy? Incidentally, if all you wanted was a RH9 binary using the Qt frontend, then why not grab it from ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.3.4/lyx-1.3.4-1rh9_qt.i386.rpm ?

Accents, Displaystyle, Line spacing
Hi LyX folks, Assorted questions: When I make up a mathematics exam, I often need to insert a series of formulas inline but in displaystyle size (retaining the inline position). I know how to force this with \displaystyle or by selecting the _contents_ of an inline formula and choosing Insert Math Display formula, but is there a key binding or some other method that forces the displaystyle (with inline position) more quickly? In LyX/Mac? Conversely, how does one take a displaystyle size (inline position) formula and convert it back to inline size? And in LyX/Mac what modifier keys produce the various accented characters in textmode? The User Guide mentions xkeycaps as a way to see a graphical version of the keyboard. Is this, or something similar, available for LyX/mac? Last one: Choosing Custom line spacing in Layout Document allows me to pick the line spacing. If, for example, I write in the box 1.3 with 10 pt type, what line spacing does this give? I had expected that to get 3 pts leading with 10 pt type (10 on 13), say, that I should pick 1.3 = 13/10, but this appears to give much more leading than 10 on 13. Thanks for the help. Bruce

You may use any package formatting code, e.g. listing or lgrind.
Personnaly I use lgrind because it's an external program which is
prone to automated code documentation management.
If lgrind is installed on your system, you may simply test this:
lgrind -lPython foo.py foo.tex
latex foo
makeindex foo # you get an index of the methods :-)
latex foo
and see if the layout fulfills your needs.
Then
lgrind -i lPython foo.py foo.tex
will produce a file readily inserted in lyx with (in ERT)
\lgrindfile{foo}
I've found that the following gives me a tex file with functions,
classes and methods listed at the side and included in the index - this
looks good:
C:\LyX\Tex\Fileslgrind -d lgrindef y.py y.tex
Using language python
When importing the y.tex to LyX, it appears only in LaTeXese and is not
accessible for editing in the WYSIWYW mode.
The file is viewable in the dvi mode and printable from yap.
The text is displayed only in one font, so that LaTeX has added little
more than the indexing.
Some questions:
1) In what directory does lgrind.exe expect to find lgrindef?
Currently, I have it in the same directories as lgrind.ins,
lgrind.exe and the input text file y.py.
2) Is there some way to make the tex material available for editing
in LyX?
3) Is there some way to enhance the y.tex file, see for example the
attached y.html, derived from SciTE?
4) Can lgrindef be modified to permit distinctive fonts to be used
for reserved words, comments, strings etc?
I don't understand LaTeXese. The attached excerpt from shows
that most of the keywords are listed.
Thanks again for your help.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I know how to force this with \displaystyle or by selecting the _contents_ of an inline formula and choosing Insert > Math > Display formula, but is there a key binding or some other method that forces the displaystyle (with inline position) more quickly? In LyX/Mac? Conversely, how does one take a displaystyle size (inline position) formula and convert it back to inline size? And in LyX/Mac what modifier keys produce the various accented characters in textmode? The User Guide mentions xkeycaps as a way to see a graphical version of the keyboard. Is this, or something similar, available for LyX/mac? Last one: Choosing Custom line spacing in Layout > Document allows me to pick the line spacing. If, for example, I write in the box 1.3 with 10 pt type, what line spacing does this give? I had expected that to get 3 pts leading with 10 pt type (10 on 13), say, that I should pick 1.3 = 13/10, but this appears to give much more leading than 10 on 13. Thanks for the help. Bruce

Bruce, I suspect that there may be found other ways, but a simple one is to open another math-mode box and copy the contents of the previous one to the new box. The displaystyle disappears as long as you have properly selected the material before copying it. Give it a try! Paul

Not solving your problem, but as a useful tip, you can input the above in
lyx as:
\begingroup\par
singlespacing
\figcaption [
short description
] {
long blabla
}
\endgroup
where ... delimits the contents of the ERT inset. This might
look more work than your text, but does mean that you can use the full
power of lyx to define 'short description' and 'long blabla' without
needing to use any more ERT.

uuh, where is the "full power" when writing a _caption_ ;-)
A full power way is when LyX supports the package nonfloat or capt-of,
which is very easy to do ...

Jean-Pierre,
Thanks for this.

4. I would like to be able to insert some Python script into a
LyX file. This would require leaving
spaces in the text (whitespace is significant in Python) and
using a fixed width font.
You may use any package formatting code, e.g. listing or lgrind.
Personnaly I use lgrind because it's an external program which is
prone to automated code documentation management.
If lgrind is installed on your system, you may simply test this:
lgrind -lPython foo.py foo.tex
latex foo
makeindex foo # you get an index of the methods :-)
latex foo
and see if the layout fulfills your needs.
Then
lgrind -i lPython foo.py foo.tex
will produce a file readily inserted in lyx with (in ERT)
\lgrindfile{foo}
I've found that the following gives me a tex file with functions,
classes and methods listed at the side and included in the index - this
looks good:
C:\LyX\Tex\Files>lgrind -d lgrindef y.py >y.tex
Using language python
When importing the y.tex to LyX, it appears only in LaTeXese and is not
accessible for editing in the WYSIWYW mode.
The file is viewable in the dvi mode and printable from yap.
The text is displayed only in one font, so that LaTeX has added little
more than the indexing.
Some questions:
1) In what directory does lgrind.exe expect to find lgrindef?
Currently, I have it in the same directories as lgrind.ins,
lgrind.exe and the input text file y.py.
2) Is there some way to make the tex material available for editing
in LyX?
3) Is there some way to enhance the y.tex file, see for example the
attached y.html, derived from SciTE?
4) Can lgrindef be modified to permit distinctive fonts to be used
for reserved words, comments, strings etc?
I don't understand LaTeXese. The attached excerpt from shows
that most of the keywords are listed.
Thanks again for your help.
Any advice would be appreciated.

The following identifiers are used as reserved words, or keywords of the language, and
cannot be used as ordinary identifiers. They must be spelled exactly as written here:
and del for israise
assertelif from lambdareturn
break else globalnot try
class exceptiforwhile
continue exec importpass yield
def finally inprint
Note that although the identifier as can be used as part of the syntax of import
statements, it is not currently a reserved word.
In some future version of Python, the identifiers as and None will both become
keywords.

In LyX/Mac? You can insert the line \bind "M-m t" "math-insert \displaystyle" in your math.bind in order to have a shortcut M-m t or any other that is not used yet.

LyX 1.3.4 qt version and dead keys after KDE 3.2.3 upgrade
I decided to downgrade to KDE 3.2 Mandrake 10.0 Official. The dead keys bug was present not only in LyX and Kword but in other qt apps like Scribus. I found no comments about this possible bug on KDE's site. 158 rpm to remove and almost as much to reinstall... But everything went fine and the dead key bug is out. LyX qt needs KDE even if I mainly use WindowMaker... Raymond -- Édité et transmis avec des logiciels libres sous Linux !
