Re: Using Covington (problems with ERT - latex conversion!)

lyx could not get font
Hi, I am using Debian with lyx 1.3.6 xforms. When I open a document with math symbols, I get a serie of Could not get font ..., using fixed. And as a matter of fact, the math symbols are not displayed properly. This makes the edition of such document a real pain. I believe this is not really a lyx problem but it rather comes from my distribution and fonts in tetex-extra that are not fetched. However, I could not find any solution and lyx is the only application that has this bug (xfontsel also can't display the mentioned fonts). This is the reason why I ask here for any clue that could help me solve this issue. Note that in the dvi document, math symbols are properly displayed. Thanks in advance for any help, Nicolas.

how to share BibTeX references across platforms
Dear LyXers, I would like to ask you for help with the following problem. I'm writing papers with my advisor and we decided to use LyX. She uses Windows version while I work from Linux. Our problem is sharing documents with BibTeX references. While sharing LyX documents works flawlessy, we have problems with BibTeX generated references. The problem is where to store the BibTeX files. Each of us would like to have the references in a place where they can be accesses from several papers. The problem is how to achieve this in situation where the database is in different locations on different machines. For example, my advisor prefers c:\papers\bibliography\1994.bib while I prefer ~/work/references/1994.bib. When I'm entering the database file in LyX, I have two options, either hit the Browse button in which case LyX enters the full path, or I can manually add relative path. I thought I'd add a symbolic link into each directory with a paper and then I'd add the databases using relative path, like so ./ref/1994.bib, where ref is the link to whatever directory the database is stored in on particular machine (e.g. ~/work/references for on my machine). Now, while this works for me on Linux. Windows shortcuts don't seem to do the trick. My question is, does anybody have experience with sharing LyX documents with BibTeX references that are not stored in one fixed place? Thank you for any comments, David

Box around system of equations.
Has anyone managed to get a box wrapped around a system of equations or a multiline equation? The usual LaTeX and AMSTex commands, \fbox and \boxed only work for single-lined equations like \begin{displaymath} of \begin{equation}. On the other hand, the empheq package is able to render very exquisite boxes, but the syntax seems to be incompatible with LyX. For instance, to generate a box around a system of equations I have to use the empheq environment, which invokes the AMS mathematical environments, as in the example below: \begin{empheq}[box=\fbox]{align*} a = b \\ b = c \end{enpheq} Lyx does not seem to offer any standard way to do this and even inside an ugly ERT box it's not trivial to use the empheq package... -- Rudi Gaelzer Departamento de Física Instituto de Física e Matemática Fundação Universidade Federal de Pelotas Caixa Postal 354 - Campus UFPel 96010-900 Pelotas - RS Fone: (53) 3275-7468 FAX: (53) 3275-7343 Usuário de Linux registrado # 153741

Generating LyX docs in a build
Hi there: I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I'm using LyX 1.3.6 on Fedora Core 4 (Linux) with the change bar patch (using dvipost). I create all of the user documentation for our compiler suite (except for the README and man pages) in LyX, and up until now, I've generated PDFs and checked them into our build tree. We automatically build the compiler environment software daily and those PDFs get picked up as a final step in the build. Our buildmaster would like to have the build process generate the final PDFs and only have the .lyx files (and possibly the .tex files) checked in. This way the build process could generate the most current daily PDFs that would be up-to-date with the software. During our production cycle, I use change bars on the docs and generate the PDF using PDF (dvipdfm) from the LyX menu bar, and then about a week before release, I turn the change bars off and generate the PDF using PDF (pdflatex). To accomplish this as part of the build, I need a command line equivalent (and it could be multiple command lines) for each of these methods. - The command-line equivalent for View PDF (dvipdfm) - The command-line equivalent for View PDF (latexpdf) Has anyone tried doing something like this? Is anyone currently generating their docs as part of a source code build with build script? Many thanks in advance, --jane -- Jane McKean Technical Documentation PathScale, Inc. jane at pathscale.com

quotes in the lyx
Hi I am confused with the quotes on the keyboard. where type the double quotes, like this: They are both the 'right-quote' in my output. I am not sure about the symbol usage in English, is it the right form of a mistake? However in the user guide,I saw some example text is right with this pair. The left-quote in lyx is slightly leanes to left while the right quote is just vertical. Are they different symols which need different key to input? or the lyx will fix them automatically?

Re: quotes in the lyx
Hi Roy, Thank you for your advice, and I checked the setting, finding everything is just like you said, in double quote mode. I did some tests, and find out the cause of my trouble: if the follows a character tightly, i.e. no space, it is a right-quote automatically. So if i want to get a left-quote, i have to type the symbol at the beginning of the line or, after a space in side the paragraph.

quotes in the lyx
Hi I am confused with the quotes on the keyboard. where type the double quotes, like this: They are both the 'right-quote' in my output. I am not sure about the symbol usage in English, is it the right form of a mistake? However in the user guide,I saw some example text is right with this pair. The left-quote in lyx is slightly leanes to left while the right quote is just vertical. Are they different symols which need different key to input? or the lyx will fix them automatically? I hope I expressed myself correctly... Thank you for your time. -- Leon Chen, Imperial College, London MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: quotes in the lyx
Hi Roy, Thank you for your advice, and I checked the setting, finding everything is just like you said, in double quote mode. I did some tests, and find out the cause of my trouble: if the follows a character tightly, i.e. no space, it is a right-quote automatically. So if i want to get a left-quote, i have to type the symbol at the beginning of the line or, after a space in side the paragraph. So I think problem solved, thank you very much. :) -- Leon Chen, Imperial College, London MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How can I stop ERT from putting in those spaces? This is a bug that will be fixed in LyX 1.4.0. For now, don't use normal linebreaks in ERT, but protected linebreaks (hit Control-Enter). They will produce single line breaks in the .tex file. Georg
lyx could not get font
Hi, I am using Debian with lyx 1.3.6 & xforms. When I open a document with math symbols, I get a serie of "Could not get font ..., using fixed". And as a matter of fact, the math symbols are not displayed properly. This makes the edition of such document a real pain. I believe this is not really a lyx problem but it rather comes from my distribution and fonts in tetex-extra that are not fetched. However, I could not find any solution and lyx is the only application that has this bug (xfontsel also can't display the mentioned fonts). This is the reason why I ask here for any clue that could help me solve this issue. Note that in the dvi document, math symbols are properly displayed. Thanks in advance for any help, Nicolas.

how to share BibTeX references across platforms
Dear LyXers, I would like to ask you for help with the following problem. I'm writing papers with my advisor and we decided to use LyX. She uses Windows version while I work from Linux. Our problem is sharing documents with BibTeX references. While sharing LyX documents works flawlessy, we have problems with BibTeX generated references. The problem is where to store the BibTeX files. Each of us would like to have the references in a place where they can be accesses from several papers. The problem is how to achieve this in situation where the database is in different locations on different machines. For example, my advisor prefers c:\papers\bibliography\1994.bib while I prefer ~/work/references/1994.bib. When I'm entering the database file in LyX, I have two options, either hit the Browse button in which case LyX enters the full path, or I can manually add relative path. I thought I'd add a symbolic link into each directory with a paper and then I'd add the databases using relative path, like so ./ref/1994.bib, where "ref" is the link to whatever directory the database is stored in on particular machine (e.g. ~/work/references for on my machine). Now, while this works for me on Linux. Windows shortcuts don't seem to do the trick. My question is, does anybody have experience with sharing LyX documents with BibTeX references that are not stored in one fixed place? Thank you for any comments, David
Problem with depth.
Hello, I am having a problem with depths where I have a paragraph and a set of items (itemize) and everything should be in depth 1 (not 0), so I select it and I choose "increse depth". All the items except the fisrt one are put inside an incresed depth (the first item and the paragraph are left out). Am I doing something wrong ? I am attaching the example file, I am using LyX 1.3.5 on Linux. Thanks. -- José Pablo Ezequiel Fernández test.lyx Description: application/lyx
Box around system of equations.
Has anyone managed to get a box wrapped around a system of equations or a multiline equation? The usual LaTeX and AMSTex commands, \fbox and \boxed only work for single-lined equations like \begin{displaymath} of \begin{equation}. On the other hand, the empheq package is able to render very exquisite boxes, but the syntax seems to be incompatible with LyX. For instance, to generate a box around a system of equations I have to use the empheq environment, which invokes the AMS mathematical environments, as in the example below: \begin{empheq}[box=\fbox]{align*} a &= b \\ b &= c \end{enpheq} Lyx does not seem to offer any standard way to do this and even inside an ugly ERT box it's not trivial to use the empheq package... -- Rudi Gaelzer Departamento de Física Instituto de Física e Matemática Fundação Universidade Federal de Pelotas Caixa Postal 354 - Campus UFPel 96010-900 Pelotas - RS Fone: (53) 3275-7468 FAX: (53) 3275-7343 Usuário de Linux registrado # 153741

Thank you for any comments, David If your advisor has installed (or is willing to install) the MinSYS system (subsystem? package? whatever), you can use symbolic links. I believe MinSYS is mandatory for LyX 1.3.6 and later on Windows. From MinSYS's interactive shell, you create the link pretty much as you would on Linux, other than to remember that the C: drive is /c in MinSYS. So, for instance, you would use ln -s /c/papers/bibliography ./ref on her machine. Alternatively, you can do the same thing from a DOS command prompt, by providing the path to ln if necessary, for instance "C:\Program Files\msys\1.0\bin\ln.exe" -s /c/papers/bibliography ./ref (assuming the default installation location). I've tried it here (Win XP) and it seems to work as expected. Paul

Generating LyX docs in a build
Hi there: I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I'm using LyX 1.3.6 on Fedora Core 4 (Linux) with the change bar patch (using dvipost). I create all of the user documentation for our compiler suite (except for the README and man pages) in LyX, and up until now, I've generated PDFs and checked them into our build tree. We automatically build the compiler environment software daily and those PDFs get picked up as a final step in the build. Our buildmaster would like to have the build process generate the final PDFs and only have the .lyx files (and possibly the .tex files) checked in. This way the build process could generate the most current daily PDFs that would be up-to-date with the software. During our production cycle, I use change bars on the docs and generate the PDF using PDF (dvipdfm) from the LyX menu bar, and then about a week before release, I turn the change bars off and generate the PDF using PDF (pdflatex). To accomplish this as part of the build, I need a command line equivalent (and it could be multiple command lines) for each of these methods. - The command-line equivalent for View > PDF (dvipdfm) - The command-line equivalent for View > PDF (latexpdf) Has anyone tried doing something like this?
