missing character (Lyx on Mac)
Hi everybody, I've just installed Lyx and even though things went fairly smooth, I'm struggling with a bunch of minor issues. (Using the latest Lyx version, Mac OS 10.4.2, Powerbook with a german keyboard. Gerben Wierda's TeX, ghostscript8, Freetype2, libiconf, libwmf, ImaheMagick, cm-super packages, ran the Lyx Installer script) - Lyx won't recognize the ^ key at all (as in x^3 for x cubed). It does recognizeshift ^ though, which correctly yields°on my german keyboard. - Whenever I click View - DVI nothing happens. Am I not supposed to get some kind of window displaying the Latex source code??? I'm planning to word process my math assignments (bachelor of computer science), so any help is highly appreciated! Thanks again, Max

About Beamer and Lyx
Hi everybody
I think there is something wrong with Beamer class and Lyx. I have already
found in the mailing list someone else having the same problems but I could
not find the solution. In my case I have started to prepare a presentation
(just title, authors and Outline section) and wanted to check if everything
was ok. Therefore I have choosed View-PDF(pdflatex) and the error issued by
latex was
Undefined control sequence.
\lyxframeend
{}\section*{Outline}
etc...
I have compared a working presentation with this one and I have found in the
Latex exported file that section
%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.

The question is: why does Lyx sometimes export these commands and sometime it
does not? I have exported today both presentations, I suppose there are some
minor details in the skeleton presentation which issue an internal error in
Lyx.

Re: About Beamer and Lyx
The situation is the following:
- if I insert an EndFrame layout at the end of the document, I can compile
and view the document w/o any problem.
- if the EndFrame is inserted at the end of other frames and NOT at the end of
the document, I can compile the lyx file but I can not see it with acroread.
In particular latex issues an error ('file ended while scanning use of
\lyxframe.) but lyx does not recognize it and compiles further.
- w/o any EndFrame layout lyx stops and issues an error (Undefined control
sequence. \lyxframeend).
This is the simple lyx file (w/o any EndFrame layout)
Thank you very much

Countering more paragraphs
Hy everybody, the latex-file I use provides a secnumdepth of 8, this means 9 numbered headers. Meanwhile my LyX knows all of the (subsubsubsub...) paragraphs, but I can't see how to get a useful countering on sreen. Because this is for an easy-doing-user I want to have a layout which an countering like this for the standard-paragraphs. Hopefully need no help at the developer-list. Thanks for your tought. MAX

(Having said that, I must admit to also be a GMail user... so where's privacy now...?)

Re: Why do Inkscape drawing pixellate in LyX?
On 2008-03-17 13:28:38 +0100, Steve Litt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: Hi all, I have three Inkscape drawings. They pixellate very badly when I export them to .png and then include them in my LyX written book. When I export them to PDF they are pixellated but not as badly. Both text and curves pixellate. PNG is a bitmap-based format and not well suited for scaling. PDF or SVG are vector-based formats and are way better for scaling, the latter can theoretically be scaled any way you wish without loss of quality. These three drawings are simple cartoons, created by me. What's the best way to put an Inkcape drawn drawing into LyX? There is a nice page on Inkscape and LyX in the wiki: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/UseInkscapeSVGImages It works very well for me (though especially with fonts I have some difficulties sometimes but I guess thats because of the yet too bad port of Inkscape in OS X).

Maybe inkscape doesn't include the right fonts into the exported eps-file sometimes, but I don't really care as Arial works fine. I had the exact opposite problem. Arial didn't work -- Inkscape said it was n't there, even though I installed Arial on my Mandriva Linux 2007 in the norma l way. SteveT I had some problems with »extra signs« in Hoefler Text that displayed well in Inkscape as well as in LyX (using XeTeX) but for some reason were not there any more when including the SVG in LyX. I am writing a work on islamic political thought, so there is a lot of Arabic transliteration I use. Many of the letters, such as in Madîna, ‘Â’ischa and so on (I have no idea, whether they will be displayed correctly on this list, in my mail client they do (Outlook users usually experience problems, e.g.)) simply were not displayed correctly any more. Anyway, when exporting the SVG in Inkscape to PDF, the fonts are automatically embedded (as far as I remember) and inserting the PDF in LyX is painless. My more simple graphics are still SVG directly in LyX, as it is more comfortable to only make changes in one file. Anyway, I think that Inkscape really is the problem here, not LyX. By the way, just for typographic reasons, you know of the typographic criticism of Arial, do you :)? Max
About Beamer and Lyx
Hi everybody
I think there is something wrong with Beamer class and Lyx. I have already
found in the mailing list someone else having the same problems but I could
not find the solution. In my case I have started to prepare a presentation
(just title, authors and Outline section) and wanted to check if everything
was ok. Therefore I have choosed View->PDF(pdflatex) and the error issued by
latex was
Undefined control sequence.
\lyxframeend
{}\section*{Outline}
etc...
I have compared a working presentation with this one and I have found in the
Latex exported file that section
%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.

suppose they should be inserted by Lyx in the temporary Latex file.
The question is: why does Lyx sometimes export these commands and sometime it
does not? I have exported today both presentations, I suppose there are some
minor details in the skeleton presentation which issue an internal error in
Lyx.
Thanks a lot

Re: About Beamer and Lyx
The situation is the following:
- if I insert an EndFrame layout at the end of the document, I can compile
and view the document w/o any problem.
- if the EndFrame is inserted at the end of other frames and NOT at the end of
the document, I can compile the lyx file but I can not see it with acroread.
In particular latex issues an error ('"file ended while scanning use of
\lyxframe.") but lyx does not recognize it and compiles further.
- w/o any EndFrame layout lyx stops and issues an error ("Undefined control
sequence. \lyxframeend").
This is the simple lyx file (w/o any EndFrame layout)
Thank you very much

missing character (Lyx on Mac)
Hi everybody, I've just installed Lyx and even though things went fairly smooth, I'm struggling with a bunch of minor issues. (Using the latest Lyx version, Mac OS 10.4.2, Powerbook with a german keyboard. Gerben Wierda's TeX, ghostscript8, Freetype2, libiconf, libwmf, ImaheMagick, cm-super packages, ran the Lyx Installer script) - Lyx won't recognize the ^ key at all (as in x^3 for x cubed). It does recognizeshift ^ though, which correctly yields°on my german keyboard. - Whenever I click View -> DVI nothing happens. Am I not supposed to get some kind of window displaying the Latex source code??? I'm planning to word process my math assignments (bachelor of computer science), so any help is highly appreciated! Thanks again, Max
Countering more paragraphs
Hy everybody, the latex-file I use provides a secnumdepth of 8, this means 9 numbered headers.

Because this is for an easy-doing-user I want to have a layout which an countering like this for the standard-paragraphs. Hopefully need no help at the developer-list. Thanks for your tought. MAX

LyX on Windows Vista
I am using 1.53 on Windows Vista. I found pdflatex easiest to get what I need. However I have two problems with it: 1. When I do view-PDF(PDFLATEX), it will ask me if I want to create the directory for the output files. Is there a way to remove this unnecessary user input? 2. If the pdf is open in Acrobat, the update would fail. Is there a way to avoid this? Thanks. Max

That I couldn't solve because I don't have access to Vista 64bit. You could try t reinstall LyX using the other installer, because this use another method of the PDF update but other Vista users reported problems with this installer concerning the way it hides LyX's console window. Could you please report how it works for you? regards Uwe

Missing files In TEMP dir
Hallo, As LaTeX user I tested the LyX program, converting a document It is a nice program, thank you. I had one major problem: Some files of the document directory (the .bib file with its original name, modified .sty files, and so on) were not copied into the temp dir. Therefore, I had to install the modified style file into localtexmf, copy the .bib file after each start of lyx into the temp dir. (I need it e.g. because of packages multibib, pdfx.) My request: It would be great, if there would be just two checkboxes in the document settings x copy all files from document directory to tempdir x include subdirectories Maybe a security question showing the number of files) Then the compilation of the document would really be equivalent to Latex. Regards
RE: lyx freezes during \HTML (MS WORD)\ export
Hallo, I had similar problems of the export (Word HTML), with Lyx 1.6.8, as described here. First, I wanted to tell, that it is not bad to have both configurations: - HTML (with elyxer) is more stable and works out of the box - HTML, Word (with htlatex) recognises more packages (if it works.) Apparently, Htlatex recognises more packages. For example, in my tests I found: If I have author - year - citation with package natbib, then elyxer exports only numbers [1], [2],. but htlatex exports the correct citations (author, 2011). So, I undertook the effort to configure htlatex. For my Windows system, I found that the missing points of the configuration of htlatex are as follows: - in the LyX converter options I need htlatex $$i html,word symbol/! -cvalidate (with double quotes instead of single quotes for windows) - you must assure, that the program ImageMagick is installed and in the system path (or in the PATH prefix of LyX). With the Lyx for Windows AltInstaller this is done automatically. - In the LaTeX distribution the packages with tex4ht and htlatex must be installed. If MikTeX is used (not texlive), then the file htlatex.bat has to be corrected: In the last two lines, there are wrong paths. For a standard installation, I corrected to tex4ht %1 -i/tex4ht/ht-fonts/%3 -ewin32/tex4ht.env t4ht %1 %4 -eC:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\tex4ht\base\win32\tex4ht.env After these corrections, everything worked fine on my system. In case of trouble, start LyX from a dos window, then the error messages can be seen. If there is an error with convert.exe, then ImageMagick is not properly installed. If there is an error tex4ht.env not found, the paths in htlatex.bat are incorrect. Finally two other remarks: - To open the document from elyxer in Word: Open in Firefox, then make a copy with save as, document type website complete. This copy can directly be opened in Word. Also, the graphics and the .css file are copied in a suitable subdirectory. - As a very easy to use converter, I found that tth.exe ( tex to html ) is very good. Export your document from lyx into latex, then execute tth -e2 document.tex. Gives a very good html Document (similar to elyxer). Regards, Max Funk

Change between latex distributions
Hallo, I installed the new lyx 1.6.9 and texlive 2010 in cygwin. However, lyx uses always the old tetex-distribution.contained in cygwin. Is there a possibility to change between distributions? AFAIK, there must be a setting path to latex.exe or similar... But I absolutely didn't find it. Regards
Re: Change between latex distributions
You have to add that path to Tools-Preferences-Paths-PATH prefix... pay attention to use posix paths... Thank you very much :-) Meanwhile I succeeded. My path from the default Texlive Cygwin Install was /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/i386-cygwin Then I made Tools-Reconfigure and rebooted Lyx. Now I made Tools-TeX Information and checked Show Path Now there was still shown the old path: /usr/share... Now I had to press button Rescan. Then I really get the new path /usr/local/texlive... (That was my Problem: I always omitted this step because I thought intuitively that Tools-Reconfigure would do everything)
Vs: How to use Enhant on Lyx
Yes, Hunspell is that bad when it comes to Finnish, in fact I'm not sure the dictionaries for Finnish even exist for Hunspell. I probably could try to install Ubuntu (I don't have enough space on my C drive so I'll have to find out if I can put it on my D drive, I have no previous experience using Linux). I hope support for Enchant will be added on the Windows installers of Lyx - I'm not a programmer so there is no hope that I myself could do it at the moment. Hi, what's your language? Finnish? Is it really that bad with Hunspell?
New layout

Is this possible? Yes, this can be done---anything you can do in LaTeX you can do in LyX---though not easily, because LyX does not support multi-argument commands or environments very well. But you could do it with a couple optional arguments to a command defined in a layout. What's not clear to me is how to deal with the image. Do you want just to give the path, or do you want to use LyX's support for graphics? You can probably do it either way, rh
Re: New layout
Below is the latex code I need to use. I am still not sure how to define
a layout with the correct latex definition so I can pass the text and
the graph to it without manually adding all the boxes (minipages). I'd
like to be able to see the graphics like when I include a graph and edit
the text freely. It is ok if I am limited to one paragraph but being
able to enter multiple paragraphs is desirable.
Thanks.

Well, the first thing you have to do is figure out how to do what you
want to do in LaTeX. You'll need a command or environment that works
like this, more or less:
\begin{graphbox}[text goes here]
%in here is the graphic you want to display, the way LyX would
format it, e.g.:
\includegraphics{graphics/brown}
\end{graphbox}
and the result should be the output you want.
Once you've got that, turning it into a LyX layout isn't terribly
hard. Have a look at the customization manual, if you haven't already.
But something more or less like this will work:
Style GraphicBox
LatexType environment
LatexName graphbox
OptionalArgs 1
Preamble
%here you'll include the LaTeX definitions you need
EndPreamble
End
You can tweak this endlessly.

vref – Errors keep repeating
Dear LyX-users, I am about to finally finish my diploma thesis using LyX 1.5.5 (on latest OS X Tiger and MacTeX) and a highly customized setup (XeTeX, biblatex, the SVG-inclusion and so on) with the Memoir class. First of all, my work experience with LyX was really great so far and I don’t think, I will ever switch back to the solutions I used before (Word, OOWriter, Pages, Scribus and plain LaTeX). However, all through my work progress I had these vref-Errors fading in and out all the time. Usually, they could be fixed by deleting them and reinserting them again; in some cases where they could not be fixed, I tried not to bother and thought about simply writing them manually at the very end. But now there is this one error that I cannot solve, I cannot even find the proper the reference that it seems to refer to (even though double-clicking on the error seems to take me to the place in the LyX document): Package varioref Error: \vref } Please check the pages in question. You might need to replace the \vref or \vpageref by a normal \(page)ref to stop LaTeX running forever. My LyX preamble can be found here: http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0303098/public/lyxpreamble.txt The error appears to happen somewhere here: falsch \emph default zu entscheiden und dass ein wohlgesonnener Einzelherrscher, der immer das Allgemeinwohl im Blick habe, hilfreich dabei sein könnte, die Gesellschaft in moderne Herrschaftsstrukturen zu überführen.

Flex insets
In layout directory stdinsets.inc, there are definitions of Info:menu, Info:shortcut, and Info:shortcuts. It appears that these are the ones to define the menu/shortcut styles in the help files. However, I don't see there is anyway to use these from LyX menu. Actually, the definitions in Logical Markup module is listed in Edit-Text Style. I am a little confused. Shouldn't these Info:??? styles be available from the LyX Menu, like Algorithm, Box, ERT, etc? Or am I only supposed to copy them and make my own in a layout or module file?

InsetLayout CharStyle:MenuItem
If I have InsetLayout CharStyle:MenuItem, it works. If I have InsetLayout CharStyle:Menu_Item in a layout module, LyX displays it as a red box.

Re: Bad PDF generated from LyX
Never mind. The problem appears to be caused by the binary encoding format I selected. I selected ASCII encoding the problem has disappeared. Btw, for anyone who includes screenshots in their documents, enabling Image Interpolation in Photoshop EPS conversion will create a much better looking PDF file. Including bitmap files directly will lead to very fuzzy results when the PDF display resolution does not match the native capture resolution of the screenshot.

LyX can’t find sprachwerker.bst
Hi everyone,
I am trying to set up sprachwerker.bst for use in LyX, so I can use Natbib
and a German bibliography style for linguistics (other than dinat and more
Harvard-like). I installed it in
~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst
run sudo texhash and yes, kpsewhich sprachwerker.bst tells me, that it is
exactly there. However, in LyX I cannot find it at all (although I ran
Reconfigure several times). I tried to display the bibliography via ERT,
manually choosing \bibliographystle{sprachwerker} and so on but it still
does not work. I updated both MacTeX from 2007 to 2008 and LyX from 1.5.4 to
1.6.0 (all on latest Tiger/PPC) but the problem still exists. However,
exporting to LaTeX and compiling through TeXShop works. I even restarted my
computer and reconfigured LyX several times but the style still does not
show up in LyX.
What more can I do? Thank you in advance for any help,
Max

How to change the distance between caption and the figure/table?

References in captions
I need to put references in the table/figure captions. For example, Figure. Screenshot of a nice program called Lyx. From [12]. However I don't want to have it (From [12]) show up in the list-of-figure of list-of-table. I know I can do it with two captions, one short and one long. The short one goes to the LOF/LOT and the long one appears only in the text. I am wondering if there is a way to make it easier. i.e., is it possible to have lyx automatically generate the two captions, one short and one long, from one single caption when there is a citation reference detected in the caption?

Re: drftcite requires cite? And some other problems with 1.20
I have tried.
At first it did't help until I modified my custom latex-dvi conversion script.
I added aditional latex run before bibtex run, then it worked. But the result
is different: with 1.16, I have both numerical key and the bibtex key shown in
the bibliography section, but only the numerical key shown with 1.20. All the
citation in the text are the same for both versions. This is quite strange
since in both cases, I use only the drftcite package.
My latex-dvi script looks like this now:

Re: drftcite requires cite? And some other problems with 1.20
Alright! I went through the steps carefully and finally found the
problem! This is indeed the babel problem. Sorry for the mix-up.
In my 1.16 documents, I didn't use the babel package at all. When I open
it with lyx 1.2, the default preference of lyx1.2 has
\usepackage{babel} in the lang opt/language, so the babel package is
inserted into the document, after all other packages.
The cite, drftcite packages do need the babel to be loaded first, if the
babel is used. Please note this is just opposite to what other people
have said:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg34407.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg34641.html
Since I do not use babel at all for my older documents written with lyx
1.16, I don't have any problem.
Right now, I strongly believe people are using different versions of
latex or different versions of latex packages! That probably explains
the inconsistancy between machines. I have send my non-working
examples out several times to people and they told me nothing was wrong.
I don't see the usefullness of an example this time so I will not
include one here. Thank you for your help!

The problem is fixed. After reviewing the changes you made in the files,

This is intended and IMO opinion correct behaviour. Why do you think there is a problem ? It is a problem because after the paste people would be assumed to be done with the pasted part. And people should move on to do something else. However they would need to clear the selection first if that feature is there before they can do anything. For example, I want to insert a space after the pasted text, I need to first unselect it and then type space otherwise the selected text is cleared! If you check other editors, the most common behavior is unselect after paste. 2a. The Do not show graphics in the preferences is not honored. If you set an override in the graphics, it will over ride the general prefs. This again is intended and correct IMO. What it means is that the preference in the preference dialog is useless. This is more like a design flaw than a feature. A better way is like this: A no in general pref means absolutely no; a yes in general pref means dependent on the pref in the graphics. 2b. When converted from earlier version, not shown figures become shown as default. Bugs in the converter? Cannot reproduce - it works for me. Small testcase please. The problem is this: Suppose the show-graph pref in that graph produced with lxy1.16 is Do not display When openning with lyx1.20, the behavior is different dependent on the graphics setting in the general preferences: if it is setting like display in color, all the graphics will be shown regardless of the individual settings! if it is do no display in the general preference, it will not shown as inteded (in each of the graphes).When converting from old (218) version to new version (220), lyx1.2 ignores the individual pref settings! Please note, this is against the logic you presented! 3. A toggle switch that does show/hide all graphics will be very useful. I do not mean to close/or open the floats, I mean render or not render the graphics in the open floats. Yes, maybe ... This implementation is not needed if the reference setting I described in 2a is used. 4. The graphics conversion takes too much CPU! A way to cap the CPU usage is useful. Why ? Which xforms version / convertor are you using ? Try using the netpbm tools instead, if you're using convert Why? I have tens of eps graphics in the paper. I am using xforms 0.89. What are the netpbm tools? It took so much CPU that the keyboard and mouse stopped responding for over 5 minutes. My computer is PII366 w/ 128M, if that matters. 5. Page-up and page-down key not working if the courser is inside a float. If you mean you can't exit the float with page up/down, this is a known bug. Addition, the scroll-mouse seems not working either. 6. Footnote in the section heading is not working any more. Worked in 1.16fix4 and prior versions. Already solved. Works perfectly for me - testcase please 7. Mouse selection too difficult to use. If I try to select lines of texts and figures, the scrolling will be so fast that I cannot stop at the end point easily. Means of marking start and stop point to make a selection or distance-out-of-bounds scrolling speed variation is useful. The last part means the scrolling speed will vary during a selection scrolling: depends on how far the mouse is out of the bonds, the farther the faster the scrolling... Yes, we should have variable scrolling like this. As a work around, using the keyboard for selection is much better for this problem Keyboard selection?

Re: lyx 1.20pre5 bugs and misses
The original suggestion was to put a cap on the number of processes. For example, run only 4 conversion process at the same time. Or saved the converted images with the original figures so there is no need to convert everytime the document is opened. Max Angus Leeming wrote: Well, we use lazy conversion, so only the graphics images that you try and display will be passed to the converter.

Re: double rules in table
That works! The first one is good enough since I really just need the double rules at top and bottom. I was trying to do the samething but I was stuck at the bottom one. That trick (\\ \hline %) is wonderful. Thank you.

For left and right you can specify it in the table dialog (see example, right click on the first or last column, second tab and alignment). For top and bottom a little ERT can do it (see example). But if you want the borders to look better you'll need to use an extension, like the hhline package.

figure display in figure float box in lyx1.20
What makes a figure (or just the box representation) display centered in the figure float? The figures (in floats) in the file converted from 1.16 show up in floats centered. However the figure I inserted in figure float in lyx 1.20 is left-adjusted in lyx view. The output in ps is correct. I couldn't figure out which option in the figure dialog makes the difference. Thank you. Max

The output in ps is correct. no, this cannot be true. If you do not center your figure it's left aligned in the output. It is true. The default behavior in 1.16 is centered. When converted, it remain centered. It seems logical. Please see the attached lyx file generated with 1.16. It seems the difference is just \align center after \layout standard, so it should be a easy fix. Not only 1.20 doesn't center it automatically, it won't even include the caption automatically!

Re: Forcing TOC to include section*
This helps...
\addcontentsline{file}{sec_unit}{entry}
The \addcontentsline command adds an entry to the specified list or table
where...
* file is the extension of the file on which information is to be written:
toc (table of contents), lof (list of figures), or lot (list of tables).
* sec_unit controls the formatting of the entry. It should be one of the
following, depending upon the value of the file argument:
1. toc - the name of the sectional unit, such as part or subsection.
2. lof - figure
3. lot - table
* entry is the text of the entry.

(1) Caption Question
-
In older versions, insertion of a figure float automatically
included a caption. Not so in the new version. To put in
a caption, I now include in the figure float environment
a LATEX-mode box like
\caption{caption text}
My question: how do I insert math formulas within the caption without
having to bang out all the raw latex? That is, I want the WYSIWYG
feature within the caption, but the LATEX enviornment
doesn't seem to allow it.
Basically, I'd like to be able to put math formulas, equation cross
references,
etc., within the caption without having to type the raw latex.
Probably there's a better way for me to insert the caption, but I don't
know it.
What's the stuff first from left on the toolbar?

(2) Figure Centering

In older lyx versions, figures were automatically centered. Now it
seems
that I have to do this manually with LATEX boxes for \begin{center}
and \end{center}.
How do I make figures centered by default?
I want that too, but I have to go to Layout/paragraph/center.

Strange eps problem
Hi. I included a eps figure in lyx saved from photoshop 6 with the jpeg hires option. It looks fine in ghostview/ghostscript. However, the generated PS document with this figure included will show the page number in ghostview only upto the page where the figure is included. For example, if the figure is on page 5, only page 1 to 5 is listed in the quick access panel in ghostview. No other eps has had this type of effect, so I don't think it is a gv/gs bug. Anyone has a clue? This figure is large so I am not including it here. If you are interested, I can send you a copy. Thank you. Max __ Do you Yahoo!?
