Show entry type in References
Hello everyone, I'm using LyX to compile a PhD thesis and a bibtex database for references, and I'm new to both. I would like to group the references according to entry type, and to show the entry type itself in the references. this would look like, for instance: ... References articles [Art1] article1 [Art2] article2 etc Books [Book1] book1 [Book2] book2 etc etc ... Is there anyone who knows how to do that? maybe using an appropriate bst file that does that?? Thanks for your support Diego
Equation numbering corresponding to section number
Hi all,
I tried
\numberwithin{equation}{chapter}
but i get the error messages:
1) Missing \begin{document}
2) Undefined control sequence.
\numberwithin
{equation}{chapter}
What else should I know?
Thanks for support

Show entry type in References
I found that LyX 1.4.1 (on Win) has the option document settings... bibliography sectioned bibliography, so i can insert multiple bibtex generated bibliography and add section (or subsection) names by myself. There's some cons, though: - I have to define myself the Bibliography section name - I'm still not able to define the citation style as [Art1], [Art2] etc for articles, [Book1], [Book2] etc for books etc. Should I define a bst file by myself?

I would probaly try to hack alpha.bst. I'll try this. thanks Jürgen ...but now I have a new problem: I don't manage to get the Bibliography in the Table of Contents. If I use the option Sectioned Bibliography, I cannot check the option Add bibliography to TOC in the BibTeX generated bibliography dialog. What I did is to define the Bibliography section name as a Chapter* (chapter title without numbering). Either this way, the Bibliography does not appear in TOC. I also went to Document settings -- Numbering and TOC, but it is not possible from here to change the behaviour of Chapter* since Chapter* is not there at all! but there are Part* and Section*, so why not Chapter* ?

Bibliography in TOC [Was: Show entry type in References]
I managed to get the Bibliography in TOC in the output file by using the TeX command \backmatter right before the Bibliography Chapter (not Chapter*) and preceded by a page break. See: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/ce999aa747cf4a3e/36b1505bedbf3288?q=starred+TOCrnum=1#36b1505bedbf3288 In this way, inside LyX you get the Bibliography chapter numbered, and as an appendix (if you have, as in my case, appendixes), also appearing in LyX file TOC. When you view the pdf, for example, you get a nice Bibliography title (without number) in TOC of the compiled document. Perhaps it is a dirty trick, but it works... Anyway the Document settings -- Numbering and TOC pane does not work... is it a bug? how to report it?

Hacking bst files... [Was: Show entry type in References]
As I wrote in a previous post, I would like the references of my PhD thesis to be arranged as follows: References Articles [Art1] article1 [Art2] article2 etc Books [Book1] book1 [Book2] book2 etc etc ... LyX 1.4.1 supports sectioned bibliography, so it is possible to split the Bibliography chapter in sections. In order to have the citation as [Art1] and [Book1] etc, I need to hack a bst file, as suggested by Jürgen. I had a look to plain.bst and it doesn't sound so easy! In the end I would just like to add a prefix (Book, Art etc) to the reference numbering and to use a separate bst file for each entry (Books, Articles etc), so that the numbering starts with each section. Is there a resource where I can find how bst files work? or is there someone who can help me? Thanks for support, Diego

exporting to html
Hello everyone, I'm trying to export my lyx file to html (on Win) but LyX gets stuck on it... is it a known bug? CU Diego
Re: lyx-users Digest 8 Jun 2006 00:42:35 -0000 Issue 1922
Hello everyone,
I exported my PhD thesis LyX file to html by exporting from LyX to
latex and then running htlatex, bibtex'ing each aux file corresponding
to each bib file included (I have sectioned bibliography, i.e. I'm
using bibtopic in LyX, I guess). I also found somewhere that the bug
with exporting to html from LyX may be related to the use of bibtex
itself.
Now I have a new problem: equations in the object html document don't
show as figures but rather as:
( )T G(x,y) = ∂I, ∂I∂x ∂y -- in Firefox
(2.1)
in MS internet explorer
I think it is a mix of misinterpreted figure and text...
I had a look on various discussion groups but couldn't find any
problem report like this. Have any hint on this? What kind of
information is needed to detect the problem source?
Thanks for your support,

Re: lyx-users Digest 8 Jun 2006 00:42:35 -0000 Issue 1922
I think the problem is with ImageMagick (convert utility), which cannot find GhostScript executable or some related file as gs_init.ps. ImageMagick in fact uses other programs (as GhostScript) to manage different file type (as eps). these programs are called coder modules and must reside in ImageMagick path. I'm waiting for some feedback from ImageMagick user list on how to add program directory to ImageMagick coder module search path.

Thanks for your support, Diego you're right (of course I didn't think that there's more than one utility named convert on my machine...). I tried c:\...\convert foo.eps foo.jpg with both versions 6.2.8-Q16 (dynamic DLL) and 6.2.7.2 (bundled in LyX win installer) and I get respectively the following error messages SH: Remember that the generic foo.eps needs to be an existing file in the directory that you run convert. http://gallery.menalto.com/node/49736 convert.exe: no decode delegate for this image format There are several instances of this error message on Google. Apparently there is a corrupt file or some type of conflict. http://redux.imagemagick.org/discussion-server/viewtopic.php?t=4450; ImageMagick Studio appears to be a different product than ImageMagick. Make sure you didn't use a Linux version that ends with a tar.gz. Most people thought the problem was with ImageMagick rather than Ghostscript. Regards, Stephen It is not always safe to have two different versions of the same .dll, they can cause conflicts just as two different versions of convert will can conflict. For instance the Msys sh.exe needed to run LyX scripts works, but not the sh.exe which comes with Cygwin which some Windows users have on their machines. Try renaming the 6.2.8.dll to 6.2.8.dllbak and then run convert someimagefile.* to a different someimagefile.* where the * is a jpg or png or eps, some image format that is small that you have on hand for a test. Run this from the directory where the LyXWininstaller has put C:\ImageMagick with the test file in the same directory. Putting cross-ported program in directories which have spaces in them, like Program files, can create odd errors.

spellcheck problems when pasting from a document with different language
Hello everyone, I have a problem with the spellchecker language when pasting some text from a document written in a different language. To be more specific, I have a paper written in English and a PhD thesis in Italian. I want to copy and paste some stuff (like formulae, acronyms etc) from one to the other, but what I get in the document is test underlined, that is LyX keeps the language information with text so that when I do spellcheck the spellchecker deals with new text as if it was in the old language. This would not be annoying, except that LyX keeps the old language if keep writing on the same line of the pasted text, so that now I have plenty of pages in Italian that are treated as English (so no spellchecking!). I hope I was clear...please tell me if there's some way to tell LyX that those lines are actually in Italian, or if I made any mistake. Regards, Diego

Mark the Italian text that LyX mistakes for english. Then use the menu edit-text style (for lyx 1.4.x) or layout-tex (for lyx 1.3.x and earlier) You get a dialog box where one of the things you may change is language. Set it to Italian and you'll be fine. Next time, use this dialog as soon as the language goes wrong, thereby avoiding lots of text marked with the wrong language.

In fact, when I export to pdflatex my master.lyx I get the undefined

there's some conflict with other packages I'm using. Anyway I'm sure

I'll be more specific, because this looks quite weird to me (but I
know there's a simple solution to it)...
I have master.lyx, where I insert several child documents (iclude
type: include). I'm using several packages, and there's some extra
line of code in the preamble that worked well so far.
In one of these chile docs I write:
This algorithm [alg:test] is a test:
float: Algorithm: Algorithm#: [alg: tes] Test algorithm
When I do exportpdflatex I get the following error message during 2nd
LaTeX run:
Undefined control sequence
This algorithm \ref{alg: test}
is a test:
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
mispelled it (cut)
The very strange things are that:
1) I don't get any such error when I do the same with a new set of
files (master child), or 2) with the original child doc alone (where
the algorithm float is found).
so I guess this might be related to the preamble stuff or so.
I can attach the preamble, or the whole document if you think it helps.
Thanks for your support,
Diego
Re: Problem with Algorithm label language

Could you try to play with the ordering of the various bits in the

there's not much to play with. if I load hyperref in the preamble, I get
everything correct until it comes to the \ref{alg:label} command, where I

Re: Problem with Algorithm label language
The hyperref README says:
6 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY
===
Currently only package loading orders are available:
[...]
algorithm
-
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[chapter]{algorithm
}
So float (which is modified by hyperref) and hyperref have to be loaded before
algorithm. The problem is that LyX loads algorithm before the user preamble.
So your only chance is probably to load the algorithm package yourself (and
use ERT in the document.
1) If I load algorithm (again) after hyperref, LyX (or LaTeX) ignores
it and always gives me the undefined control sequence error message.
in fact, LyX loads algorithm with the command \newfloat, before the
user preamble, I guess (I exported to plain LaTeX)
2) you can use a package declaration in the preamble only, not after
the \begin{document} command.
so I don't see an escape. like a dog eating his tail (?).
Is there a way not to load a (default) package in LyX? in this case I
could load it manually in the preamble. Is there a way to unload a
package in LaTeX in the preamle?
I also tried to export to LaTeX and cut the algorithm declarationand
and paste it in the preamble after the hyperref declaration, but I
messed things up.
otherwise I have to choose between bookmarks (which look pretty good
btw) and algorithms I think I'll choose the latter for the moment, and
look for a solution later. but let me know if you have any idea, and
thank you.

problem with RevTeX and setspace package
Hello everyone,
I have a problem with a file using RevTeX class and setspace package.
When I try to compile the following simple file:
%% LyX 1.5.1 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[english,preprint]{revtex4}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing
\makeatletter
\usepackage{babel}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
%\doublespacing
I
\\am
\end{document}
I get:
Package: `setspace' 6.7 2000/12/01
)
! Undefined control sequence.
\setstretch ...ef \baselinestretch [EMAIL PROTECTED]
l.7 \doublespacing
I googled for the problem but couldn't find anything useful. Any hint?
I found a workaround, that is using the preprint option for the revtex
package and setting to single the line spacing in the document
properties panel (or deleting the \doublespacing command in the tex
file).

centering chapter heading
is there a way to modify the formatting of chapter or section headings to
have them centered ?
Try the fancyheader package (fancyhdr) and use something like:
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\chead{\chaptermark}
I'm new to this package so I'm sure you can get better results if you read
the documentation through...
Hope this works, regards - Diego
Re: ohm symbol
Uwe Stöhr wrote
In Lyx, how can i make am ohm symbol??
Ad this line to your document preamble:
\usepackage{textcomp}
In the text use this command in ERT:
\textohm
on LyX 1.4.3 (WinXP) the output of
$\rm\Omega$
still looks better.
David L. Johnson
Well, yes, but this is math code, so in LyX you just go to math-mode and
enter \Omega or choose the symbol from the menu. Doing it in ERT is
old-school (cut)
I don't see the concern about using math mode and ERT box. it is
sometimes faster and easier (and more sophisticated, too...).

[Re] problem with tex4ht ### SOLVED ###
From: Ares [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello everyone,
I wrote a nice user manual for my application in LyX and I wanted to
translate it to html to inlcude it direclty in the user interface (I
know pdf with hyperref can do wonderful things but I want to play with
html now).
After some trouble (always the same problem of compatibility of
hyperref package) I manage to have a good html by:
1. exporting foo.lyx to foo.tex (plain)
2. latex foo
3. bibtex foo
3. latex foo
4. latex foo
3. htlatex foo html
except that figures look very bad (not all) as I suspect they are
converted from png to eps to jpg and resized as well somewhere. but
this is not my concern now.
try
\usepackage{graphicx}
in the preamble, and
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.png,.eps,.ps}
in your document. This shall avoid useless file conversions.
I try to do:
htlatex foo html,2,frames
as suggested in the tex4ht doc
(file:///C:/Programmi/MiKTeX%202.5/doc/tex4ht/tex4ht/mn.html) to
break up the output into separate web pages, in accordance to the two
top sectioning levels of the document and to place the content and
table of contents in separate frames.
what I get is a single file, in one single frame.
The funny thing is that I managed to achive the desired result some
time ago on the same machine. by the way I'm on WinXP, LyX 1.4.3,
freshly updated MiKTeX 2.5
To solve this problem, try renaming the htlatex.exe file (which is
equivalent to deleting it while saving it for later) and moving the
htlatex.bat file to the htlatex.exe folder (you have to locate these
two files - exe and bat - on your machine). thanks to Eitan M. Gurari.

still problems exporting from LyX to LaTeX to html
Hello everyone,
I'm still playing with LyX and tex4ht to convert my documents (this
time it is lecture notes) to html. I run into a few problems I would
like to discuss here (if you're interested!)
1) the process fails in generating images if such images are inserted
in LyX from a folder which is one level up with respect to the LyX
file. To be clearer, I would use
\includegraphics{../image_folder/image_name.png}
(once for all, I'm using source PNG images if it is important)
I noticed that in the output LaTeX (plain) file, dots are converted in
lyxdot, which I unsuccessfully searched for on the web. I tried to
change this lyxdot into normal dots . in the tex file but nothing
changed.
2) this is a issue more related to tex4ht I guess. If I include
graphics in LyX and resize them
\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{myfig.png}
the image output in the html document look bad, though the
intermediate EPS are fine.
3) I get a lot of error messages during latex and htlatex runs. one of
those (latex) says no bb file has been found for the images.
4) there's no hyper link to figures in the html file (this is *annoying*)
5) some questions about tex4ht options (found in the notes in the
htlatex log file): if I do:
htlatex foo html,2,sec-filename
(to name output files according to section name) there's no
bibliography in the output.
6) another tex4ht option: imgdir:.../ does not work for me. I tried
replacing the ... with both an existing and a non-existing folder
name, but nothing, the generated images are placed in the same folder
as the html output (which is not exactly professional, but still
works)
I'm using LyX 1.4.3 with freshly updated MiKTeX system on Windows XP.
Kind regards,
Diego

Re: Newbie question: export to tex
From: N.W. England [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am trying to export a lyx file to latex, and it seems impossible. just some stupid questions: which directory are you in? are you on MS Windows and do you have administrator privileges? do you have the rights to write on the folder you're in? are you using extra-packages? are you connected to the web when compiling? I suppose the answer is yes. but I experienced (almost) the same problem when exporting to pdf (pdflatex). I do fileexportpdf but nothing happens. I'm on MS Win. I copied myfile.lyx to a directory in C:\ as the administrator. Then , with a non-admin account, I tried to export and I get an error (the temporary pdf file does not exist). I switch back to the admin account and it works. therefore I suggest you also check for your rights to write on disk. another problem could be related to the extra package. Depending on the mode you're in (ask for package installation or not) you won't compile if you're not connected and LyX cannot download the package (BTW this could be something to me fixed). I hope this was useful to someone. Regards, -- Diego http://www.ares001.altervista.org/ | __o| It is easier | _`\(,_ | to get forgiveness | (_)/ (_) | than permission

This depends on the language. New english words goes into the hidden file file .aspell.en.pws New norwegian words goes into the file .aspell.nb.pws and so on. Each language has a code of its own. No privileges are needed, as the files are stored in your home directory. I have two sets of pws files (which btw are named simply en.pws not .aspell.en.pws) and this I think depends on the mess i made with multiple aspell installation! the newest pws files are in documents and settings\all users\application data\aspell\personal that is, afaik, supposed to be a shared folder. but I logged as an administrator and checked if my non-admin account has the rights to change the folder, and it does not. So I changed this setting and aspell seems to record the words now when I use LyX as a normal user. OT: It is annoying having to change the right settings on all folders you use as a non-administrator user (I had to do so with many other programs, and for some of them it didn't even work). but this is a windows-related issue (at least on XP) - not aspell's or LyX's! -- Diego http://www.ares001.altervista.org/ | __o| It is easier | _`\(,_ | to get forgiveness | (_)/ (_) | than permission
Re: how to insert a blank page

what about using two-sided document? do document -- settings and in
the Page Layout panel check the two-sided document box.
Thanks! it works!
Some problems left with the numbering (lyx puts a 2 on the blank page while I am
using Italic numbers (I II IV) bu I think I can solve that myself)
I don't know if this works for you, but what I did for my PhD thesis
was creating the first pages in my favourite fashion, with:
- first page: images (logo of my university), non standard author
names (me and my advisor), custom spacing (using vfill)
- second page: blank
- 3rd page: a quotation (it is always cool to quote someone!)
- 4th page blank
to achieve this I used the command \thispagestyle{empty} in an ERT box
(for each page) and page breakes. I know this is not in the LyX/LaTeX
philosophy but it was pretty quicker to achieve what I wanted.
Then i used the \frontmatter command (hence the roman numbering),
inserted an introduction, TOC's, \mainmatter command (arabic
numbering), the core of the thesis, and finally \backmatter with
appendices, bibliography etc
Here you can find a template for a PhD thesis based on this principles:

otherwise I can send you the whole thesis!

*** On ubuntu it should be as easy as typing
$ apt-get install lyx
on the command line, or selecting lyx in synaptic and pressing apply button.
(assuming that you are connected to the internet)
I'll give it a try, but LyX is not on the Synaptic manager, as far as
I can see (on Ubuntu 7.04)... is it of your (= the LyX developers)
concern?
When I view my old documents (i.e. the pdf files generated by LyX on
Windows) on Linux (Ubuntu 7.04) the quality is very bad. I guess this
is related to the installed fonts.
*** can you be a little bit more specific? What exactly is bad?
1) bitmap fonts, as explained in http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF#toc5
2) you use some special fonts that are not embedded in the final pdf.
(cut)
Pdf's, by definition, should not depend on any LyX files.
Check http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF and if you do not find a solution send a
minimal example of your pdf.
I thought that pdf, being a portable document format, didn't need
any special setting on the machine you use. Anyway you can view a
sample pdf generated on my machine (BTW with pdflatex) at:

From: Paul Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
## I think I understand the problem that Diego reports. The pdf viewers
in Linux are more accurate and if the fonts are not included in the
pdf file, the quality of the document on the screen looks not so god,
although on paper it looks perfect. If you are using the default LaTeX
font, then put the following line in the preamble of your LyX
document:
\usepackage{lmodern}
and your pdf files will look great on screen.
I think I didn't get all of the 1st part of your reply, but I tried
the suggestion it 2nd part with no success (at least on my machine):
the output pdf is empty.
I tried to export to pdf first as a normal user on windows: LyX
prompted me to install the lmodern package, but it did not produce any
result since I suspect that MiKTeX simply does *not* install the
packages because it does not have write access to its folder (under a
non-administrator account).
Then I tried as an administrator and there it came the mess! No prompt
for package installation and no output.
Is it normal I can't even find the lmoder package on the MiKTeX Package Manager?

This depends on what linux distribution you use - I don't know the details of them all. Pleace specify that the next time you ask a linux install question. you're right ... I am on Ubuntu 7.04 and just installed LyX 1.4.3-2ubuntu1 from the synaptic package manager from system menu. I'll try apt-get Debian and ubuntu certainly lets you install everything you need with one command: apt-get install list of package names here Debian example: apt-get install texlive-full lyx imagemagick xpdf This will install the packages mentioned, as well as any other packages these packages need to work. The above command might pull in 50 packages or so. You are probably using some other distribution, seeing that you ask about tetex. On debian, texlive is a replacement for tetex, as tetex is being phased out. Most other distributions use the rpm packaging system. It is a long time since I used those - one usually had to download lots of rpm files and then give a command to install them all. The main difference from the apt command above was that you had to gather the files yourself, and then install all in one go. rpm would then tell you if anything else was missing, then you download that and try again until you have all you need. I have heard that the rpm-based systems also have automatic downloading these days, simplifying this process. Helge Hafting -- Diego http://www.ares001.altervista.org/

Just install either tetex or texlive and use LyX and if you run into an instance of needing a package then post back to the list and we'll be more than happy to explain how to install those. Also, remember that the synaptic package manager and apt-get install are the same thing. So every package available to the system will be listed in synaptic. Bob Example: I have a lyx document using the acronym package .when I export to pdf (pdflatex) I get an error like nolist option for acronym package, which depends (I guess) on the fact that the acronym package shipped with tetex (and lyx) via synaptic is an old on. in fact there was no nolist declaration in the original acronym.sty file on my tetex tree. so I re-installed acronym (I know how to do that, thanks) and everything worked. So, again, if I use a new package I have to install it manually with apt-get. I am not complaining, it is easy I find. but I didn't know tetex comes with *all* (or almost all) available packages...

Here I am back with a new, silly question: what is the most favourite bibtex editor under GNU/linux? I have been using JabRef under Windows, but I realised that it runs under the Java Runtime Environment, and I do not want to install new components if I do not really need them... So, let's go with the poll! -- Diego http://www.ares001.altervista.org/

JabRef seems to be the most popular around here. It runs fine under Linux, but you have to install Sun's JVM, as it won't work under Gnu's. One reason to prefer JabRef is that the developer of BibLaTeX, soon to be the new standard, is paying attention to JabRef. But there are a lot of options, as always with Linux: pybliographer, kbibtex, etc. Then I'll stick to JabRef for now... thanks to all -- Diego http://www.ares001.altervista.org/
Show entry type in References
Hello everyone, I'm using LyX to compile a PhD thesis and a bibtex database for references, and I'm new to both. I would like to group the references according to entry type, and to show the entry type itself in the references. this would look like, for instance: ... References articles [Art1] article1 [Art2] article2 etc Books [Book1] book1 [Book2] book2 etc etc ... Is there anyone who knows how to do that? maybe using an appropriate bst file that does that?? Thanks for your support Diego

Show entry type in References
I found that LyX 1.4.1 (on Win) has the option document settings... bibliography sectioned bibliography, so i can insert multiple bibtex generated bibliography and add section (or subsection) names by myself. There's some cons, though: - I have to define myself the Bibliography section name - I'm still not able to define the citation style as [Art1], [Art2] etc for articles, [Book1], [Book2] etc for books etc. Should I define a bst file by myself?

Bibliography in TOC [Was: Show entry type in References]
I managed to get the Bibliography in TOC in the output file by using the TeX command \backmatter right before the Bibliography Chapter (not Chapter*) and preceded by a page break. See: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/ce999aa747cf4a3e/36b1505bedbf3288?q=starred+TOCrnum=1#36b1505bedbf3288 In this way, inside LyX you get the Bibliography chapter numbered, and as an appendix (if you have, as in my case, appendixes), also appearing in LyX file TOC. When you view the pdf, for example, you get a nice Bibliography title (without number) in TOC of the compiled document. Perhaps it is a dirty trick, but it works... Anyway the Document settings -- Numbering and TOC pane does not work... is it a bug? how to report it?

Hacking bst files... [Was: Show entry type in References]
As I wrote in a previous post, I would like the references of my PhD thesis to be arranged as follows: References Articles [Art1] article1 [Art2] article2 etc Books [Book1] book1 [Book2] book2 etc etc ... LyX 1.4.1 supports sectioned bibliography, so it is possible to split the Bibliography chapter in sections. In order to have the citation as [Art1] and [Book1] etc, I need to hack a bst file, as suggested by Jürgen. I had a look to plain.bst and it doesn't sound so easy! In the end I would just like to add a prefix (Book, Art etc) to the reference numbering and to use a separate bst file for each entry (Books, Articles etc), so that the numbering starts with each section. Is there a resource where I can find how bst files work? or is there someone who can help me? Thanks for support, Diego

exporting to html
Hello everyone, I'm trying to export my lyx file to html (on Win) but LyX gets stuck on it... is it a known bug? CU Diego
Re: lyx-users Digest 8 Jun 2006 00:42:35 -0000 Issue 1922
Hello everyone,
I exported my PhD thesis LyX file to html by exporting from LyX to
latex and then running htlatex, bibtex'ing each aux file corresponding
to each bib file included (I have sectioned bibliography, i.e. I'm
using bibtopic in LyX, I guess). I also found somewhere that the bug
with exporting to html from LyX may be related to the use of bibtex
itself.
Now I have a new problem: equations in the object html document don't
show as figures but rather as:
( )T G(x,y) = ∂I, ∂I∂x ∂y -- in Firefox
(2.1)
in MS internet explorer
I think it is a mix of misinterpreted figure and text...
I had a look on various discussion groups but couldn't find any
problem report like this. Have any hint on this? What kind of
information is needed to detect the problem source?
Thanks for your support,
Diego
Re: lyx-users Digest 8 Jun 2006 00:42:35 -0000 Issue 1922
I think the problem is with ImageMagick (convert utility), which cannot find GhostScript executable or some related file as gs_init.ps. ImageMagick in fact uses other programs (as GhostScript) to manage different file type (as eps). these programs are called coder modules and must reside in ImageMagick path. I'm waiting for some feedback from ImageMagick user list on how to add program directory to ImageMagick coder module search path.

Thanks for your support, Diego you're right (of course I didn't think that there's more than one utility named convert on my machine...). I tried c:\...\convert foo.eps foo.jpg with both versions 6.2.8-Q16 (dynamic DLL) and 6.2.7.2 (bundled in LyX win installer) and I get respectively the following error messages SH: Remember that the generic foo.eps needs to be an existing file in the directory that you run convert. http://gallery.menalto.com/node/49736 convert.exe: no decode delegate for this image format There are several instances of this error message on Google. Apparently there is a corrupt file or some type of conflict. http://redux.imagemagick.org/discussion-server/viewtopic.php?t=4450; ImageMagick Studio appears to be a different product than ImageMagick. Make sure you didn't use a Linux version that ends with a tar.gz. Most people thought the problem was with ImageMagick rather than Ghostscript. Regards, Stephen It is not always safe to have two different versions of the same .dll, they can cause conflicts just as two different versions of convert will can conflict. For instance the Msys sh.exe needed to run LyX scripts works, but not the sh.exe which comes with Cygwin which some Windows users have on their machines. Try renaming the 6.2.8.dll to 6.2.8.dllbak and then run convert someimagefile.* to a different someimagefile.* where the * is a jpg or png or eps, some image format that is small that you have on hand for a test. Run this from the directory where the LyXWininstaller has put C:\ImageMagick with the test file in the same directory. Putting cross-ported program in directories which have spaces in them, like Program files, can create odd errors.

So I downloaded it and it made no apparent change to the quality of the htlatex outputted web page/images.

spellcheck problems when pasting from a document with different language
Hello everyone, I have a problem with the spellchecker language when pasting some text from a document written in a different language. To be more specific, I have a paper written in English and a PhD thesis in Italian. I want to copy and paste some stuff (like formulae, acronyms etc) from one to the other, but what I get in the document is test underlined, that is LyX keeps the language information with text so that when I do spellcheck the spellchecker deals with new text as if it was in the old language. This would not be annoying, except that LyX keeps the old language if keep writing on the same line of the pasted text, so that now I have plenty of pages in Italian that are treated as English (so no spellchecking!). I hope I was clear...please tell me if there's some way to tell LyX that those lines are actually in Italian, or if I made any mistake. Regards, Diego

Mark the Italian text that LyX mistakes for english. Then use the menu edit-text style (for lyx 1.4.x) or layout-tex (for lyx 1.3.x and earlier) You get a dialog box where one of the things you may change is language. Set it to Italian and you'll be fine. Next time, use this dialog as soon as the language goes wrong, thereby avoiding lots of text marked with the wrong language.

I'll be more specific, because this looks quite weird to me (but I
know there's a simple solution to it)...
I have master.lyx, where I insert several child documents (iclude
type: include). I'm using several packages, and there's some extra
line of code in the preamble that worked well so far.
In one of these chile docs I write:
This algorithm [alg:test] is a test:
float: Algorithm: Algorithm#: [alg: tes] Test algorithm
When I do exportpdflatex I get the following error message during 2nd
LaTeX run:
Undefined control sequence
This algorithm \ref{alg: test}
is a test:
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
mispelled it (cut)
The very strange things are that:
1) I don't get any such error when I do the same with a new set of
files (master child), or 2) with the original child doc alone (where
the algorithm float is found).
so I guess this might be related to the preamble stuff or so.
I can attach the preamble, or the whole document if you think it helps.
Thanks for your support,
Diego

Currently only package loading orders are available:

\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{hyperref}

So float (which is modified by hyperref) and hyperref have to be loaded before
algorithm. The problem is that LyX loads algorithm before the user preamble.
So your only chance is probably to load the algorithm package yourself (and
use ERT in the document.
1) If I load algorithm (again) after hyperref, LyX (or LaTeX) ignores
it and always gives me the undefined control sequence error message.
in fact, LyX loads algorithm with the command \newfloat, before the
user preamble, I guess (I exported to plain LaTeX)
2) you can use a package declaration in the preamble only, not after
the \begin{document} command.
so I don't see an escape. like a dog eating his tail (?).
Is there a way not to load a (default) package in LyX? in this case I
could load it manually in the preamble. Is there a way to unload a
package in LaTeX in the preamle?
I also tried to export to LaTeX and cut the algorithm declarationand
and paste it in the preamble after the hyperref declaration, but I
messed things up.
otherwise I have to choose between bookmarks (which look pretty good
btw) and algorithms I think I'll choose the latter for the moment, and
look for a solution later. but let me know if you have any idea, and
thank you.

Diego

problem with RevTeX and setspace package
Hello everyone,
I have a problem with a file using RevTeX class and setspace package.
When I try to compile the following simple file:
%% LyX 1.5.1 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[english,preprint]{revtex4}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

I get:
Package: `setspace' 6.7 2000/12/01
)
! Undefined control sequence.
\setstretch ...ef \baselinestretch [EMAIL PROTECTED]
l.7 \doublespacing
I googled for the problem but couldn't find anything useful. Any hint?
I found a workaround, that is using the preprint option for the revtex
package and setting to single the line spacing in the document
properties panel (or deleting the \doublespacing command in the tex
file).

centering chapter heading
is there a way to modify the formatting of chapter or section headings to
have them centered ?
Try the fancyheader package (fancyhdr) and use something like:
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\chead{\chaptermark}
I'm new to this package so I'm sure you can get better results if you read
the documentation through...
Hope this works, regards - Diego
Re: ohm symbol
Uwe Stöhr wrote
In Lyx, how can i make am ohm symbol??
Ad this line to your document preamble:
\usepackage{textcomp}
In the text use this command in ERT:
\textohm
on LyX 1.4.3 (WinXP) the output of
$\rm\Omega$
still looks better.
David L. Johnson
Well, yes, but this is math code, so in LyX you just go to math-mode and
enter \Omega or choose the symbol from the menu. Doing it in ERT is
old-school (cut)
I don't see the concern about using math mode and ERT box. it is
sometimes faster and easier (and more sophisticated, too...).

[Re] problem with tex4ht ### SOLVED ###
From: Ares [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello everyone,
I wrote a nice user manual for my application in LyX and I wanted to
translate it to html to inlcude it direclty in the user interface (I
know pdf with hyperref can do wonderful things but I want to play with
html now).
After some trouble (always the same problem of compatibility of
hyperref package) I manage to have a good html by:
1. exporting foo.lyx to foo.tex (plain)
2. latex foo
3. bibtex foo
3. latex foo
4. latex foo
3. htlatex foo html
except that figures look very bad (not all) as I suspect they are
converted from png to eps to jpg and resized as well somewhere. but
this is not my concern now.
try
\usepackage{graphicx}
in the preamble, and
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.png,.eps,.ps}
in your document. This shall avoid useless file conversions.
I try to do:
htlatex foo html,2,frames
as suggested in the tex4ht doc
(file:///C:/Programmi/MiKTeX%202.5/doc/tex4ht/tex4ht/mn.html) to
break up the output into separate web pages, in accordance to the two
top sectioning levels of the document and to place the content and
table of contents in separate frames.
what I get is a single file, in one single frame.
The funny thing is that I managed to achive the desired result some
time ago on the same machine. by the way I'm on WinXP, LyX 1.4.3,
freshly updated MiKTeX 2.5
To solve this problem, try renaming the htlatex.exe file (which is
equivalent to deleting it while saving it for later) and moving the
htlatex.bat file to the htlatex.exe folder (you have to locate these
two files - exe and bat - on your machine). thanks to Eitan M. Gurari.

still problems exporting from LyX to LaTeX to html
Hello everyone,
I'm still playing with LyX and tex4ht to convert my documents (this
time it is lecture notes) to html. I run into a few problems I would
like to discuss here (if you're interested!)
1) the process fails in generating images if such images are inserted
in LyX from a folder which is one level up with respect to the LyX
file. To be clearer, I would use
\includegraphics{../image_folder/image_name.png}
(once for all, I'm using source PNG images if it is important)
I noticed that in the output LaTeX (plain) file, dots are converted in
lyxdot, which I unsuccessfully searched for on the web. I tried to
change this lyxdot into normal dots . in the tex file but nothing
changed.
2) this is a issue more related to tex4ht I guess. If I include
graphics in LyX and resize them
\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{myfig.png}
the image output in the html document look bad, though the
intermediate EPS are fine.
3) I get a lot of error messages during latex and htlatex runs. one of
those (latex) says no bb file has been found for the images.
4) there's no hyper link to figures in the html file (this is *annoying*)
5) some questions about tex4ht options (found in the notes in the
htlatex log file): if I do:
htlatex foo html,2,sec-filename
(to name output files according to section name) there's no
bibliography in the output.
6) another tex4ht option: imgdir:.../ does not work for me. I tried
replacing the ... with both an existing and a non-existing folder
name, but nothing, the generated images are placed in the same folder
as the html output (which is not exactly professional, but still
works)
I'm using LyX 1.4.3 with freshly updated MiKTeX system on Windows XP.
Kind regards,
Diego

Re: Newbie question: export to tex
From: N.W. England [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am trying to export a lyx file to latex, and it seems impossible. just some stupid questions: which directory are you in? are you on MS Windows and do you have administrator privileges? do you have the rights to write on the folder you're in? are you using extra-packages? are you connected to the web when compiling? I suppose the answer is yes. but I experienced (almost) the same problem when exporting to pdf (pdflatex). I do fileexportpdf but nothing happens. I'm on MS Win. I copied myfile.lyx to a directory in C:\ as the administrator. Then , with a non-admin account, I tried to export and I get an error (the temporary pdf file does not exist). I switch back to the admin account and it works. therefore I suggest you also check for your rights to write on disk. another problem could be related to the extra package. Depending on the mode you're in (ask for package installation or not) you won't compile if you're not connected and LyX cannot download the package (BTW this could be something to me fixed). I hope this was useful to someone. Regards, -- Diego http://www.ares001.altervista.org/ | __o| It is easier | _`\(,_ | to get forgiveness | (_)/ (_) | than permission

This depends on the language. New english words goes into the hidden file file .aspell.en.pws New norwegian words goes into the file .aspell.nb.pws and so on. Each language has a code of its own. No privileges are needed, as the files are stored in your home directory. I have two sets of pws files (which btw are named simply en.pws not .aspell.en.pws) and this I think depends on the mess i made with multiple aspell installation! the newest pws files are in documents and settings\all users\application data\aspell\personal that is, afaik, supposed to be a shared folder. but I logged as an administrator and checked if my non-admin account has the rights to change the folder, and it does not. So I changed this setting and aspell seems to record the words now when I use LyX as a normal user. OT: It is annoying having to change the right settings on all folders you use as a non-administrator user (I had to do so with many other programs, and for some of them it didn't even work). but this is a windows-related issue (at least on XP) - not aspell's or LyX's! -- Diego http://www.ares001.altervista.org/ | __o| It is easier | _`\(,_ | to get forgiveness | (_)/ (_) | than permission
Re: how to insert a blank page
From: Lennart [EMAIL PROTECTED]
what about using two-sided document? do document -- settings and in
the Page Layout panel check the two-sided document box.
Thanks! it works!
Some problems left with the numbering (lyx puts a 2 on the blank page while I am
using Italic numbers (I II IV) bu I think I can solve that myself)
I don't know if this works for you, but what I did for my PhD thesis
was creating the first pages in my favourite fashion, with:
- first page: images (logo of my university), non standard author
names (me and my advisor), custom spacing (using vfill)
- second page: blank
- 3rd page: a quotation (it is always cool to quote someone!)
- 4th page blank
to achieve this I used the command \thispagestyle{empty} in an ERT box
(for each page) and page breakes. I know this is not in the LyX/LaTeX
philosophy but it was pretty quicker to achieve what I wanted.
Then i used the \frontmatter command (hence the roman numbering),
inserted an introduction, TOC's, \mainmatter command (arabic
numbering), the core of the thesis, and finally \backmatter with
appendices, bibliography etc
Here you can find a template for a PhD thesis based on this principles:

otherwise I can send you the whole thesis!

*** On ubuntu it should be as easy as typing

(assuming that you are connected to the internet)
I'll give it a try, but LyX is not on the Synaptic manager, as far as

concern?
When I view my old documents (i.e. the pdf files generated by LyX on
Windows) on Linux (Ubuntu 7.04) the quality is very bad. I guess this
is related to the installed fonts.
*** can you be a little bit more specific? What exactly is bad?
1) bitmap fonts, as explained in http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF#toc5
2) you use some special fonts that are not embedded in the final pdf.
(cut)
Pdf's, by definition, should not depend on any LyX files.
Check http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF and if you do not find a solution send a
minimal example of your pdf.
I thought that pdf, being a portable document format, didn't need
any special setting on the machine you use. Anyway you can view a
sample pdf generated on my machine (BTW with pdflatex) at:

## I think I understand the problem that Diego reports. The pdf viewers
in Linux are more accurate and if the fonts are not included in the
pdf file, the quality of the document on the screen looks not so god,
although on paper it looks perfect. If you are using the default LaTeX
font, then put the following line in the preamble of your LyX
document:
\usepackage{lmodern}
and your pdf files will look great on screen.
I think I didn't get all of the 1st part of your reply, but I tried
the suggestion it 2nd part with no success (at least on my machine):
the output pdf is empty.
I tried to export to pdf first as a normal user on windows: LyX
prompted me to install the lmodern package, but it did not produce any
result since I suspect that MiKTeX simply does *not* install the
packages because it does not have write access to its folder (under a
non-administrator account).
Then I tried as an administrator and there it came the mess! No prompt
for package installation and no output.
Is it normal I can't even find the lmoder package on the MiKTeX Package Manager?

This depends on what linux distribution you use - I don't know the details of them all. Pleace specify that the next time you ask a linux install question. you're right ... I am on Ubuntu 7.04 and just installed LyX 1.4.3-2ubuntu1 from the synaptic package manager from system menu. I'll try apt-get Debian and ubuntu certainly lets you install everything you need with one command: apt-get install list of package names here Debian example: apt-get install texlive-full lyx imagemagick xpdf This will install the packages mentioned, as well as any other packages these packages need to work. The above command might pull in 50 packages or so. You are probably using some other distribution, seeing that you ask about tetex. On debian, texlive is a replacement for tetex, as tetex is being phased out. Most other distributions use the rpm packaging system. It is a long time since I used those - one usually had to download lots of rpm files and then give a command to install them all. The main difference from the apt command above was that you had to gather the files yourself, and then install all in one go. rpm would then tell you if anything else was missing, then you download that and try again until you have all you need. I have heard that the rpm-based systems also have automatic downloading these days, simplifying this process. Helge Hafting -- Diego http://www.ares001.altervista.org/

Just install either tetex or texlive and use LyX and if you run into an instance of needing a package then post back to the list and we'll be more than happy to explain how to install those. Also, remember that the synaptic package manager and apt-get install are the same thing. So every package available to the system will be listed in synaptic. Bob Example: I have a lyx document using the acronym package .when I export to pdf (pdflatex) I get an error like nolist option for acronym package, which depends (I guess) on the fact that the acronym package shipped with tetex (and lyx) via synaptic is an old on. in fact there was no nolist declaration in the original acronym.sty file on my tetex tree. so I re-installed acronym (I know how to do that, thanks) and everything worked. So, again, if I use a new package I have to install it manually with apt-get. I am not complaining, it is easy I find. but I didn't know tetex comes with *all* (or almost all) available packages...
