New LyX/LaTeX documentation
Hi all, As you know, for years I've been trying to understand and describe LyX environment creation/modification, and I think I just made some more progress: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/lyx_latex_tex.htm This document, called LyX, LaTeX and TeX begins with a simple explanation of TeX, with several examples. The document makes the point that it's very difficult to understand LaTeX without basic understanding of TeX, similar to how it would be difficult to understand the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) without a basic understanding of C++. It then goes on to explain a few things about LaTeX, including the answer to the question I asked (and Ingar Pareliussen answered) here on LyX-Users -- why do you need the \let\endoldenv=\endenv when modifying a LaTeX environment using that old TeX trick. Finally, it discusses getting the new environment working in LaTeX first, and then putting a LyX wrapper around the LaTeX in a .layout file. Enjoy! http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/lyx_latex_tex.htm SteveT Steve Litt Author: Universal Troubleshooting Process books and courseware http://www.troubleshooters.com/
teTex to gwTeX -- how does LyX recognize the change?
Hi, I'm really confused about updating from teTeX to gwTeX with LyX and would highly appreciate any hints. I'm using i-installer to install and maintain my TeX installation. LyX 1.4.x worked fine for me with the teTeX installation (on Mac OS X, 10.4.8). However, teTeX seems to be no longer supported, and Gerben Wierda now has his own (re)distribution of TeX based on TeX Live, labeled gwTeX. Thus, I updated to gwTeX and uninstalled teTeX. But how do I tell LyX to recognize the change and use gwTeX? I tried reconfigure as well as adjusting the PATH prefix in the preferences, but it doesn't work. For example, the LaTeX classes are still displayed (Tools TeX information) with the path /usr/local/ tetex/ I don't know how to fix this and couldn't find anything about it in the LyX Users List -- so, any help is welcome. Thank you, -- Christian

Altering spaces before and behind a formula created with C-M
Hello, I want to create a document with horizontal format and two columns. Formulas should be numbered, so it seems to be necessary to create them with C-M (or similar). But the type face is too wide for me then, it should be more narrow, the spaces around the formulas are too big. How is it possible to alter the spaces before and behind such formulas easily?

Repost: Bullets menu on LyX/Mac
Sorry for the repost, but the original thread seems to have been 'captured' by another poster who changed the topic. The problem with the bullets described below has been confirmed by two others on Mac. Does it occur in Windows? Linux? I looked in Preferences...Colors and did not see a way to change the button background. Can it be changed in the default ui file? The xpm files for the bullets menu have a transparent background. Perhaps that is related to the problem? Should I report it at bugzilla? Steve I just noticed that the menu for changing bullet types Documents Settings Bullets has the bullet icons inverted with white characters on a black background which makes it very difficult to see. Can anyone else confirm this? I am using LyX 1.4.2 on Mac OS X 10.4.8 steve Same for me under LyX 1.4.3 on Mac OS X 10.4.8. Same for me, LyX 1.4.3, Mac OS X 10.4.8

Executing tex4ht gives some basic info but not enough for me to get it to work. It seems to want a .dvi file. So I tried running one of those and it creates a few files which to me are cryptic, and no .html files. I searched for documentation and came up with a .info file. But it seems to be for texinfo -- to which I'm sure tex4ht is related in some way. But in searching that doc I come up with nothing on tex4ht in particular. Am I looking in the right place? Also there's no man file -- at least that fink installed. Looks like it's quite powerful based on what I can glean and the extensive library that comes with it. But I can't get to 1st base. Can you point to a starting place? thanks much, jamie Jamie, there is documentation at the home page http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn.html A tutorial that I've actually used a lot is the paper by Popineau linked in the References section of that page (it's written in French and in LaTeX, so if you know one or both of these languages, it helps).

No more insets?
I am running Lyx 1.4.1 on Win XP. I added the bind file sciword.bind to the bind files that cua.bind imports, for the purpose of getting the key bindings for the greek letters that are in that file. These all start with Ctrl G (eg. alpha is C-g a). However, when I try to type this letter combination i just get the usual english letter. Specifically after typing C-g, in the status bar I get the message: No more insets. Any idea what this is supposed to mean? I also tried deleting the recursive includes of math.cua etc that are contained in sciword.bind but to no avail. I am pretty sure it is reading my file bc when i start up Lyx i get a whole slew of error messages about Control G having been redefined: E.g Error: New binding for 'Ctrl+G A' is overriding old binding... thanks PS here is the end of my current cua bind file: \bind_file menus.bind \bind_file math.bind \bind_file latinkeys.bind \bind_file cyrkeys.bind \bind_file greekkeys.bind \bind_file sciword.bind

However, teTeX seems to be no longer supported, and Gerben Wierda now has his own (re)distribution of TeX based on TeX Live, labeled gwTeX. Thus, I updated to gwTeX and uninstalled teTeX. But how do I tell LyX to recognize the change and use gwTeX? I tried reconfigure as well as adjusting the PATH prefix in the preferences, but it doesn't work. For example, the LaTeX classes are still displayed (Tools TeX information) with the path /usr/local/ tetex/ I don't know how to fix this and couldn't find anything about it in the LyX Users List -- so, any help is welcome.

Insert \date{} into the preamble to eliminate the date. I'm not aware
of a class that automatically inserts the author, just don't insert
an author environment.

No more insets?
I am running Lyx 1.4.1 on Win XP. I added the bind file sciword.bind to the bind files that cua.bind imports, for the purpose of getting the key bindings for the greek letters that are in that file. These all start with Ctrl G (eg. alpha is C-g a). However, when I try to type this letter combination i just get the usual english letter. Specifically after typing C-g, in the status bar I get the message: No more insets. Any idea what this is supposed to mean? I also tried deleting the recursive includes of math.cua etc that are contained in sciword.bind but to no avail. I am pretty sure it is reading my file bc when i start up Lyx i get a whole slew of error messages about Control G having been redefined: E.g Error: New binding for 'Ctrl+G A' is overriding old binding... thanks PS here is the end of my current cua bind file: \bind_file menus.bind \bind_file math.bind \bind_file latinkeys.bind \bind_file cyrkeys.bind \bind_file greekkeys.bind \bind_file sciword.bind

New LyX/LaTeX documentation
Hi all, As you know, for years I've been trying to understand and describe LyX environment creation/modification, and I think I just made some more progress: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/lyx_latex_tex.htm This document, called LyX, LaTeX and TeX begins with a simple explanation of TeX, with several examples. The document makes the point that it's very difficult to understand LaTeX without basic understanding of TeX, similar to how it would be difficult to understand the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) without a basic understanding of C++. It then goes on to explain a few things about LaTeX, including the answer to the question I asked (and Ingar Pareliussen answered) here on LyX-Users -- why do you need the \let\endoldenv=\endenv when modifying a LaTeX environment using that old TeX trick. Finally, it discusses getting the new environment working in LaTeX first, and then putting a LyX wrapper around the LaTeX in a .layout file. Enjoy! http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/lyx_latex_tex.htm SteveT Steve Litt Author: Universal Troubleshooting Process books and courseware http://www.troubleshooters.com/
teTex to gwTeX -- how does LyX recognize the change?
Hi, I'm really confused about updating from teTeX to gwTeX with LyX and would highly appreciate any hints. I'm using i-installer to install and maintain my TeX installation. LyX 1.4.x worked fine for me with the teTeX installation (on Mac OS X, 10.4.8). However, teTeX seems to be no longer supported, and Gerben Wierda now has his own (re)distribution of TeX based on TeX Live, labeled gwTeX. Thus, I updated to gwTeX and uninstalled teTeX. But how do I tell LyX to recognize the change and use gwTeX? I tried "reconfigure" as well as adjusting the PATH prefix in the preferences, but it doesn't work. For example, the LaTeX classes are still displayed (Tools > TeX information) with the path "/usr/local/ tetex/...". I don't know how to fix this and couldn't find anything about it in the LyX Users List -- so, any help is welcome. Thank you, -- Christian

Altering spaces before and behind a formula created with C-M
Hello, I want to create a document with horizontal format and two columns. Formulas should be numbered, so it seems to be necessary to create them with "C-M" (or similar). But the type face is too wide for me then, it should be more narrow, the spaces around the formulas are too big. How is it possible to alter the spaces before and behind such formulas easily?

Someone else on the list (also a MikTeX user) reported a similar problem, and after reinstalling LyX and updating a few MikTeX files the problem disappeared. It wasn't clear whether the reinstallation of LyX or the update of MikTeX cured the problem (or whether Loki just got bored and decided to pick on someone else), but updating MikTeX is what I would try first. Assuming that doesn't do the trick, you might open a document in LyX, try to View->PDF (pdflatex), and (with LyX still open) peek into the temp directory and see if the missing image files are there (should have both EPS and PDF versions of each image). /Paul

Repost: Bullets menu on LyX/Mac
Sorry for the repost, but the original thread seems to have been 'captured' by another poster who changed the topic. The problem with the bullets described below has been confirmed by two others on Mac. Does it occur in Windows? Linux? I looked in Preferences...Colors and did not see a way to change the button background. Can it be changed in the default ui file? The xpm files for the bullets menu have a transparent background. Perhaps that is related to the problem? Should I report it at bugzilla?
