Hello,
I tried to use the command\oe for french ligature in the attached LyX file,
but it is not compiled.
Anybody could say what is wrong in this simple file?
The correct syntax in LaTeX is \oe{}uvre.
Either include the {}, or put a space between \oe and uvre, otherwise
LaTeX looks for command \oeuvre, which doesn't exist.

Subject: Clearing headers and page numbers in report
X-message-flag: Sent virus-free from a linux system.
My document is defined as style 'report'. The abstract has been renamed to
Executive Summary and is on a separate page from the title page. I use
fancyheader to put text in each page's header. To force the Executive
Summary and first page to be on a right-side page I use
\newpage
\mbox { }
after the title and after the Executive Summary. These work fine.
However, both pages that should be blank contain the header and the page
number of '2'. I've not figured out how to remove them from those two pages.
I've tried various LaTeX macros (from my main local reference, Lipkin's
book) and I've looked on the tips and tricks Web page. Nothing's worked for
me. I see macros that are supposed to work for book and article style but
they're not working for my document in report style.
Here is what I use (in the preamble, there are active @s as it is
patched in a variant of the report class):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
\hbox{}
\vspace*{\fill}
~
\vspace{\fill}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\newpage

Should do both things: print the next page as a right page and make
it empty.

I thought about checking for ~.lyxpipe,

The lyxpipe files may be there alone if LyX has been killed

You need to check if there is an active LyX with ps, e.g. in Perl

So if you know hyperref commands and translate your graphics by hand you will get the same result using latex/ps2pdf, pdflatex and tex2pdf (but for possible ugly graphics coming from bitmap eps graphics). tex2pdf gives a basic hyperref config (link colors, bookmarks, thumbnails...) but you may add Uwe's commands through the config file or on the command line.

Strange. Perhaps your class does some redefinition. Actually, it should

The document style is Springer-Verlag's 'svmono' built on top of 'book'.
Page style is 'default'.
If the above doesn't work: Can you type \pagestyle{empty} at the very

Just a guess: if the pagestyle of the document is fancyplain

\thispagestyle{plain}
rather than \thispagestyle{empty}
Of course, you have to decide what plain means for your document...

Trying to type in accented characters in math mode is not correct.
In plain LaTeX, you must get back to text mode with a \mbox{}.
In Lyx, the plain text in math mode should be typed in math text mode (M-m m).
What do you mean by « it does not occur anything » when you do so ?
Here (Sun Solaris) I can type in accented characters with the Compose key,
and the dvi is correct.
For multi-line, I don'see any other LyX solution than using a matrix

In Lyx, the plain text in math mode should be typed in math text mode (M-m
m).
What do you mean by « it does not occur anything » when you do so ?
In a formula I put 'M-m m' (math text mode), then I put a accented
char like 'ä' (in LaTex {\"a}), but this char does not appear in
the formula in Lyx or in the ps-output.
OK, this is because you have a problem to enter accented characters
in math-mode: here I type in accented characters using programmed keys
by xmodmap when in normal LyX text, but this doesn't work in math mode
(I don't understand why). I'm lucky because the Compose key
(which is specific to Sun keyboards) works both in normal LyX text mode
and math text mode.
Also I put '\mbox{}' in a formula in Lyx, but when I put '"' and '\'
to write '{\"a}', these chars do not appear.
That's due to the fact that mathed (the math editor) is not re-entering
LaTeX text mode in a \mbox, as you can see that the typed characters
in the \mbox remain in blue (instead of going black as in math text mode), so
the \' is eaten by mathed.
This is a deep difference IMHO with (La)TeX where the alternation of
$...$ and \mbox{} allows to indefinitely go in and out from the math mode
(well ... indefinitely means up to the TeX buffer size).
So typing \mbox{é} in LyX (if you can enter the é, which I do here
only with the compose key) simply makes an roman accented e in math mode,
which is no good because the letter is italicized. The same command in LaTeX
works fine.
So you must find a way to enter accented characters, otherwise the
only workaround I can imagine is to hack the LaTeX code, or use
TeX macros: for exmaple, define in the preamble
\newcommand{\aumlaut}{ä}
or
\newcommand{\aumlaut}{\"a}
then in math mode, you may type in \mbox{\aumlaut} without problems.
To be more precise, I wrote a short LyX file with various solutions
that is attached.
You may check that the \mbox solution with accented characters does not
work (if you try to export to LaTeX and compile, you get an error because
\ddot and \acute can only be used in math mode), and if you want to be
particular about typography, the encoding of the é is not correct
in math text mode as $\acute{\textrm{e}}$ differs from $\mbox{é}$.
Sorry if I drove you too much into LaTeX details which should not be noticed
if you use LyX as is. You really should manage to get diacritics in math mode.

Subject: German umlauts in math equations, again...
Hi there!
I just made an upgrade to Suse-6.2 and am finally able to enter german
umlauts in math-text-mode.
Unfortunately when I save and then re-load the document again, all
umlauts are gone!
How are umlauts encoded in math text mode?
Here in the LyX file for ä
\begin_inset Formula \( \ddot{\textrm{a}} \)
\end_inset
In the meantime, I reminded that I explicitly reprogrammed
the bindings to get the umlaut in math mode (initially I needed
the umlaut in math mode as a shortcut for second order derivative w.r.t.
time, which is \ddot{} in LaTeX).
So I added in the math.bind file:
\bind "M-m S-quotedbl" "math-insert ddot"
AFAIR, Jean-Marc recommended rather:
\bind "M-m ~S-quotedbl" "accent-umlaut"
which is present in the standard math binding of 1.0.3 and 1.0.4
Both bindings produce the LyX code above, which gives back the umlauts
when you relead the file.

Subject: section-names in headers?
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am using AMS srticle format, and thanks to some help from the group
already have made some configuration changes to the section/subsection
etc formats. A look through the mail archive suggests I would be better
off using amsbook, but this is a paper, not a book, so the formatting
on other stuff in amsbook is off for my current purposes.
I now wish to have the headers display the section name on the left
hand side, and the sub-section name on the right. I also want the
\cfoot to have page numbers (I can manage this bit tho!). I have tried
using \renewcommand and I have tried using fancyhdr, trying to adapt
what I gleaned from instructions to changing the section/subsection
previously from Herbert. But I can't get it to work.
Can someone enlighten me on the easiest way to achieve what I want,
using lyx or latex commands. Some help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Tony
The fancyhdr makes what you want if you redefine the way the running headers
are constructed. From my report style preamble:
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{
\markboth{\thechapter.\ \textsc{#1}}{}} % number . chapheader text in small caps
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{
\markright{\thesection\ \textsc{#1}}} % number sectheader text in small caps
% markers style redefinition
\rhead[\fancyplain{}{\it\leftmark}]{\fancyplain{\rm\thepage}{\rm\thepage}}
%left header : chaptertitle on odd pages ,
%page number on even pages
\chead{} % empty center header
\lhead[\fancyplain{\rm\thepage}{\rm\thepage}]{\fancyplain{}{\it\rightmark}}
%right header : sectiontitle on even pages,
% page number on odd pages
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\renewcommand{\plainheadrulewidth}{0pt}
% rule control: no rules on chapter pages
This must be too complicated for your needs if you build a one-sided
document because of the fancyplain stuff (chapter are on fresh
odd pages, and we want only the page number without rule in that case).
It's a bit intricated, but I'm afraid you must
dig in this if you really want a particular page layout.

Re: bibtex and publications list in CV
[snip]
Currently I have just typed these all in manually and made them
"Description". (Which is OK, though it makes the first author's name bold)
I was wondering if there is a way to use BibTeX (with natbib) to create
these several reference listings (just the refs, no headings)? It seems
wasteful and error-prone to be retyping all this manually when the info is
already in my .bib file. But I don't see how to get the ref list without
having printed citations in the text.
Thanks very much for any help.
Bill Simpson
First hack:
Type in \nocite{*} in red, and create the bibliography using BiBTEX as usual:
after view dvi, you will get all the citations which are in your bib file as an
usual bibliography.
You can then get the bbl file from the temporary (or do manually latex/bibtex
after exporting as Latex, or perhaps just export as dvi
to get it in your working dir.) and cut and paste
from it. If you want it sorted by type, you may create as many
bib files as type of documents and type them in the bib files popup,
or rearrange your bib file and use an unsorted style.
Second hack:
There exists a style file to do what you want named bibtopics.sty
Never used it however, must be in the next CTAN archive.

Ghostview gives you the BB (the crosshairs give the position of the point in the figure in pixels) you may paste it (I never remember the order of the 4 coordinates). A quicker hack would be to filter the file through a ps to eps converter, which should recalculate the BB.

From: Bill Simpson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: Re: quotes in mathmode?
AFAIU, mathed (the equation editor) does not re-enter in paragraph or LR mode
as TeX /LaTeX does, so that the keystrokes after \mbox are still in math
with the corresponding restrictions.
I don't really understand this.
However using \mbox{text} seems to work--looks like normal text, not
italic. The problem is just the quotes
No, the problem is that you may invoke in LaTeX any legal construct allowed in a mbox,
including re-entering math mode (that is quite useful if you write math \newcommands as
\newcommand{\myadot}{\mbox{$\dot{a}$}} to be able to use \myadot in math mode AND in
text mode).
With mathed, you don't need this anymore (have a look at the math macro mechanism)
because you can't re-enter in real text mode once you are in math mode.
Have you tried the math text mode (M-m m) instead of \mbox ?
Same problem.
Can't type `` or ".
The math text mode does not accept punctuation I guess.
So is this a bug in LyX?
That's a feature of mathed :-). There are counterparts: as I mentioned above
the math macro mechanism is very powerful.

I inserted a math display box, then "\mbox" then "{" (LyX inserted the closing

typed some characters. I saved the file and spaces where inserted
between \textrm and the accolade. This extra space makes LyX unable
to read properly the formula.
Use of \mbox in math mode, which is often used in plain LateX, should be
IMHO avoided in LyX because mathed does not
change from math to text mode and back as LaTeX does.
In the given example, the roman text sould be typed in in the so called
« math text mode »
Using a \newcommand offers a workaround when \mbox is really needed, as
it has been pointed out recently.

Hi Claudio, I have a similar situation, but I don't know if my solution will help you. I have an electromagnetic simulation program that generates very large ps files (up to 80MB) for three-dimensional structures. I use the GIMP to sample the ps file to a desired resolution (this just means that I open the .ps file inside the GIMP). Then, I convert the file to .gif which usually results in a file that is less than 250kB. I then use xfig to create a figure with the .gif file in a picture box, and finally, I export to eps from xfig. The resulting .eps file can be used in LyX. My 50MB ps files become 200kB gifs and 500kB to 1MB eps files. Unfortunately, this may not help to compress your 3MB ps files if they are already efficient. The memory size of bitmapped/compressed images depends strongly upon the final dimensions: if you need a thumbnail image, say 80x60 pixels, it will have a smaller size than the original one, say 400x300 (that is a good reason to use specific small images in HTML documents rather that resizing of original ones). The size of vectorized images is by definition independent of the printed size (a global scale order changes the size at viewing or printing time). So - if the original ps is of the vector kind, nothing can really be done, unless the used software produces very huge dictionaries of macros which are not fully used by the figure; in that case I would suggest to try a conversion to eps using ghostscript: it may rewrite a simpler picture; - if the original ps is big because bitmapped, convert it to GIF or PNG, then back to eps, preferably in the final desired size; ImageMagick allows to do this in batch mode (i.e. without opening the images) quite easily, which is useful when you have many images. Unless you print in color, you will convert to greyscale on the fly (-colorspace GRAY option of ImageMagick convert command). As a side remark about the original mail, I don't understand why the size of the image is a problem, once it is converted in EPS: to produce the dvi, LyX only needs the BoundingBox, the image in only read at viewing or printing time: if the printing fails, I would suspect a printer spool problem or a temporary size. Did you check that ? A good test is to save as LaTeX, run latex alone and chack that the dvi is correct. Then you may try to print the document page by page dvips bar -pp1-1 Regards, -- Jean-Pierre

Here is a possible procedure (I suppose that the texmf tree is owned by root,
you must be root to do it)
- if you have not done it already, create a site_latex dir in the texmf tree, eg
mkdir /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/site_latex
(this will ease upgrades)
- go to site_latex and make it public
cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/site_latex;chmod 755 .
- check that the required package is not here, eg
kpsewhich longtable.sty
- if not, go to the nearest CTAN archive and ask for the package (e.g. foo)
- download the files (generally two files: foo.ins for the install
and foo.dtx for the doc stuff) in ./foo after a
mkdir foo; chmod 755 foo; cd foo
- latex the two files and make the sty, tex and dvi files public
chmod 444 *.cls *.tex *.sty *.dvi
- run texhash
- test from a plain user login, either \documentclass{foo}, \usepackage{foo} or
\input{foo}
In fact you may have a similar procedure for the bst files in the bibtex part
of the texmf ree; I think that you have often bst files coming in with packages
and that it is simpler to add site_latex in the BSTINPUTS path of texmf.cnf
and keep every imported latex-related stuff in one place.

Ok...can you have a look at the latex log file Edit-LaTeX Log
And see if some missing/not found files are mentioned.
Lgb
foo.pstex_t should be encapsulated as a float (if a caption is needed);
it provides the call to the ps part (foo.pstex) through a \special command:
\special{psfile=foo.pstex}%
So nothing has to be done else than something like (in LaTeX)
\begin{figure}[!ht]
\begin{center}
\input{foo.pstex_t}
\end{center}
\caption{bar\label{foobar}}
\end{figure}
But this is not the problem here because you could like to have the figure
without caption, and
\input{foo.pstex_t}
should work by itself.
What happens is that the \special order does not seems to produce a search for the
.pstex file
in the lyx doc directory.
I just built up a simple example a pstes_t/pstex figure existing here and
had the descibed behaviour: the postscript is missing because the pstex file is not
found.

From: Mate Wierdl [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Guys,
Any included file has to be in the same dir as the lyx doc you are
including it into. So all files exported from xfig needs to be in the
current dir. The current dir is always searched for input files
unless you messed up your texinputs path.
Mate
I indicated in a previous answer to this thread that it seemed
to me that \input@path does nothing about the
\special{psfile=foo.pstex}
which is in the foo.pstex_t file
(correctly inputted as is, without renamimg it to foo.pstex_t.tex).
Is this the real problem ?
Somebody suggested to put an absolute path in the \special instruction, like
\special{psfile=/my/path/to/lyx/doc/dir/foo.pstex}
and it works, but it would be better to keep on with relative path names IMHO.
In the same line, I mentioned that it seemed that the texmf tree is searched
before the \input@path, which is a big difference between work in the temporary
and work in the lyx doc dir after exporting as LaTeX (and breaks the way
I mask general settings by local ones).
Is that correct also ?

Subject: Manipulating EPS images in Lyx
Hi all.
I'm thinking of using Lyx to write my master's report. Most here know
why .. it's stable, it's clean, it works well for what it does.
I understand several others have used Lyx to write their theses. What
is an appropriate class to use? Are there classes one can install that
are specialized for this type of document?
Also, I expect to have a moderate about of source code in my
report. Perhaps I'm just ignorant, but even today I cannot figure out
how to incorporate source code properly into a Lyx document. The
Lyx-Code seemed like it might work, but I've found that I can't
control it well. It doesn't "look" right to me. For example, if my
report is double-spaced, is there a way to have the code
single-spaced? I also can't seem to have tab-indents in
Lyx-Code. Things of that sort. Am I missing something?
I use often Insert-Input data generated by external software which I encapsulate
between \begin{verbatim}\end{verbatim} when producing it.
When you re-run the software, the LyX doc is automativally updated
at the next latex run. To deal with line wrap, you need improved
versions of verbatim to avoid code modification.
For programs editing, the lgrind package produces pretty-printing of various
languages (C, C++, ...). See the next CTAN archive.

Hello everybody,
can anyone help me on how stop the previous chapter heading from

Thanks
In TeX mode
\markboth{Title}{Title}
is a first workaround.
If you want Title in the toc, you will need also
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{}#1}
If you need it often, a good way is to define a command in the preamble
\newcommand{\tocchap}[1]{\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{}#1}%
\markboth{#1}{#1}}
so that
\tocchap{Title}
does the job.
You may have to modify the arguments to make these headings look like the
others headings, e.g. \uppercase{#1}

- cheaders included
- the '-' vs. '_' should be gone.
- the export to html should be a little better
- + some additional bugfixes
A few remarks after compile/install (Solaris 2.6, gcc 2.8.1)
- no more warnings at compilation time (Solaris 2.6, gcc 2.8.1).
- here is a problem in configure: as is, program_suffix is not taken into account.
As far as I understand, line 860 reads
PACKAGE = lyx
and thus the configue log says
LyX files dir: /usr/local/share/lyx
even when program_suffix=-1.1
If I change line 860
PACKAGE=lyx${program_suffix}
I get
LyX files dir: /usr/local/share/lyx-1.1
BUT now configure is called configure-1.1 in /usr/local/share/lyx-1.1
- when I export to HTML, latex2html is called... (tth is installed as
/usr/local/bin/tth,
and I reused the lyx-1.0.4 lyxrc as is) . Is it the alternative called when tth is

You probably begin to create output in the dvi before the \begin{document}
(e.g. just have some plain text in the preamble which LaTeX tries
to process).
Looks like a preamble error, but we need to know more.
The best would be to export as LaTeX (this should be possible)
and to run latex on the exported file.
You may have a look at the latex log file, but exporting to latex
provides simpler messages.

Hello,
When one uses \boldsymbol in math mode, LyX provides the definition
in the preamble:
\newcommand{\boldsymbol}[1]{\mbox{\boldmath $#1$}}
Thix creates an error if you need the whole AMS stuff, because \boldsymbol
is defined there..
Shouldn't the instruction be rewritten
\renewcommand{\boldsymbol}[1]{\mbox{\boldmath $#1$}}

Subject: LyX and LaTeX behaviuor differ
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
Using LaTeX to fill-in parametrized pages, I used
to put a default file in the texmf tree which was
replaced by a modified file in the document directory.
This deos not work any more in LyX, the .dep file is not
aware of the existence of a file of the same name in the local
directory and loads the default.
If I export as LaTeX, all is OK again, kpathsea finds the local
before the global.
How are made exactly the dependencies ?
I know how to workaround (put the absolute path, e.g.), howvever
as I would like to keep the \input instruction in tyhe global both
for Lyx and LaTeX users, it would be better if it worked the same.
Perhaps the solution comes with 1.1, as I read recently it will deal with updates
of bib files ?
Regards

Jean-Pierre
I answer myself to this old post because I found a better workaround than absolute
path:
instead of giving the same name to the local and global files
and leaving the selection to the kpathsea utility, I put foo_default.tex
in the standard teTeX tree, and put a conditional \input order to select
\IfFileExists{foo.tex}{\input{foo}}{\input{foo_default}}
This allows to remove completely the \input from the template document
and put it in the class or package: local files of standard name can be included
automatically, with a default file if the customized file is not provided.
This is a little bit off the list main topic, sorry.

To create a macro, say foo: M-x (you get the cursor in the minibuffer) math-macro foo (you get a tag in the LyX window which toggles in mathed) type in the math macro call it with \foo in mathed (the mathed look is substituted in the LyX window, but the code remains \foo, so that any change in the macro is exported everywhere in the document).

I can't check right now, but AFAIR, you can't SET the

the LyX window).
You may however CHANGE the settings with \addtolength

how does the scope of the command work (probably from the current page).
From one of my latex docs:

This message disappears when I remove the double-spacing, and all
figures are then displayed when viewed in dvi or ps format. Does anyone
know why double-spacing would consume more Latex memory, or how I can
reduce the amount of memory I use? Is it possible to increase the Latex
memory size?
Insert a \clearpage (in ERT) in some adequate spot (e.g. at the end
of a chapter): this flushes the TeX buffer in which the floats
are kept to prepare the automatic placement phase.
Probably double spacing prevents a placement that was OK in single spacing.

Never used it, but from messages earlier in this list I understood that pdflatex cannot insert eps files as latex does: eps inclusion in La(TeX) is very easy because the compiler simply passes postscript to dvips without translation (it only need the BB to compute the layout), but going to pdf looses this facility. AFAIR, you simply need to convert each eps file to pdf before compilation. I suppose the the pdflatex doc explains everything. You may have a look at the mailing list archive as well. So this is not a LyX feature, but a PDF(TeX) one. Regards -- Jean-Pierre

Subject: Formatting source code
Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 11:29:01 -0800
Hello!
I'm currently writing my thesis and need to have some code snippets as part of
it. Unfortunately, because I'll be using double spacing, simply putting the
code in and changing it to a typewriter font, or using Lyx-Code causes the
code
to be double spaced as well, making it really hard to read (and fairly ugly).
Is there a way to separately control the spacing of Lyx-Code? Alternatively,
what is There are about 40 known languages.a good way to insert code so that
it'll look proper? Also, is there
such a thing as a "code float" (like a figure float) ?
Thanks.
I use the lgrind latex package, which can be used in LyX using ERT.
Works with preprocessing using a shell command (lgrind) which must
be installed in the bin directory of the LaTeX installation.
Provides pretty printing and line numbering of various languages,
and can be used standalone, e.g.
%lgrind -lC -o foo.tex foo.c
%latex foo;dvips foo
provides a printed version of C code in foo.c.
There are about 40 recognised languages.
Does not fold long lines however, you have to format yourself.
So with LyX:
- get the package from the nearest CTAN archive
- install it in the LaTeX tree
- make it available (texhash with teTeX)
- preprocess the code for inline inclusion in a latex doc, e.g.
%lgrind -i -lC -o foo.c.tex foo.c
- edit the premable in LyX, e.g.:
\usepackage[lineno5,leftno,norules]{lgrind}
- at the right location in the doc, insert in ERT
\lgrindfile{foo.c.tex}
Should work OK, perhaps a bit sophisticated for simple pieces of code,
in which case a simple Lyx input of the code embedded between
\begin{verbatim}
...
\end{verbatim}
could be sufficient.

Something more precise than a TOC, like grepping for precise RE. One would expect at least a cumbersome and slow FIND/FIND NEXT on the menu. Even that would beat just plowing along. But better to have some arrangement for precise RE searching. At least with the normal tools, but first we must know what files to look in. The rpm I have (yx-1.0.4-1), when listing the files I see nothing that looks like a documentation file other than the man pages and readmes. Seems some unconventional doc type file is used. The many *.lyx files are not where the manual is either I guess. Similarly with the source tar.gz, I see no conventional docs directory. How can a user do RE searches of the docs. It wasn't clear to me how the Manual and User Guide are packaged. In what format? Surely there is a way to do precise searching in the voluminous documentation. Done here: export to LaTeX, compile, export to html with maximum level of segmentation, index as html tree, query through WWW gate. Does not allow RE seach, but rather AND OR NOT (even soundex) query syntax. Unperfect in some places (part of the lyx doc is designed to be viewed with lyx), but quite efficient (IMHO).

Insert a \usepackage{epsfig} in your preamble (doesn't work without it here)
this was the problem, now with this it works, thanks for your help.
The disadvantage is, that I cannot see the figure anymore on the screen.
This is the thing I like most with LyX compared to other LaTeX editors.
Is there any other solution, where I can see the figures on the screen?
Thanks,
Torsten
Yes, use the other way round: import LyX formulas in xfig.
A bit cumbersome, but efficient:
- create a LyX document for each math insert in xfig, say foo.lyx
- export as LateX - foo.tex
- compile and produce an eps image - foo.eps (option -E of dvips)
- insert in xfig
Be sure to have a \pagestyle{empty} if you want an eps of the right size.
Here is an example in foo.tex (one step back for foo.lyx):
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
$\mathcal{H}_\infty$
\end{document}
then
latex foo;dvips -E -o foo.eps foo
When you use it often, you will be happy to build a bank of formulas.
You might probably use the customize command of LyX to implement it.

Now I'm trying to set up the presentation; obviously I want to use LyX. They say to me to use my notebook instead of that old-fashioned slides... I'll prepare both of them, because I like slides. No way to use PowerPoint, as they suggested. I don't want to mix heaven and hell! Here is the problem: I'll use ghostview (gv by Johannes Plass) on my notebook with a projector, to show my LyX-slides; since the display is larger than tall, I'll use landscape A4 paper as default. But if I set landscape paper and RotateFoilHead environnement, things go wrong and I get a portrait slide shown horizontally. Using only Landscape paper or only RotateFoilHead goes wrong. If I set "landscape", in the Extra Option of the document layout, I get the right thing, but text is truncated on the right (using gv). Is it a problem of LyX or gv? Which viewer shall I use to make the presentation? Is gv good for this? If I can't find a solution I'll use portrait slides :-( Thanks a lot Emanuele It's a problem of a4paper/landscape... I don't know about Foils, but here it goes with seminar: - a4paper+landscape produces 21x29.7 slide ready for printing, but not for viewing on a 4/3 screen - however ghosview is cute enough to undertand whats going on and rotate the paper; - Acrobat reader is not cute and insists upon viewing as a4paper like the printer (and I didnt find any Rotate button...) So what you need (to use acrobat with the videoprojector) is a portait sized as 29.7x21, which is NOT a standard paper format. Fixing this size with geometry works fine with a plain document, but I was not able to make it work with a seminar-derived class... So ghostview should do it if you stick to a4/landscape. IMHO, there should be a clean solution to this in the future, most of the viewgraphs will never be printed in a4 or the like: as I mentioned, 4/3 (and perhaps 16/9 :-) should be present as a standard paper format along with a4, letter, etc. This is clearly a LaTeX issue.

I really don't see the point of being able to write matlab code from LyX; it seems much more efficient to do the other way round: create LyX or LaTeX code from matlab and import it with input. Working this way allows to update freely the input by running the math numeric interpreter. This technique allows also to import graphics and tables. The problem of math import from outside LyX is more intricated for three reasons: - the typography is complex; - the macroprogrammation which comes with TeX math mode: importing pieces of code forbids reuse of macrocommands; this is a minor point if the code import is efficient beacuse you don't care much about code duplication then; - as is, the math mode of (La)TeX is really different from the one produced by mathed because the latter does mot allow to reenter in text mode and then in math mode, even with ERT. So as things are now, Maple e.g. can export to (La)TeX, but going one step further towards LyX without any ERT in the result does not work (just run reLyX to check). Using macros helps in that translation, but LyX lacks currently a user defined math panel which would made tractable a big set of macros. Of course, as it has been said elsewhere in the thread, XML/LaTeX is an issue (there must be a workshop or a symposium about it next May). Regards -- Jean-Pierre

Check the doc to find out how to get the available xxx modes. -- Jean-Pierre

I mailed the same idea, but I checked here and found that
these commands didn't work (report class, plain bibtex style).
However the direct TeX instructions:
\hyphenpenalty=1\exhyphenpenalty=1\relax
taken fron the Companion work fine.
I supect that the bibliogrphy environment kills the sloppy
commands. Any clue ?
