 ERT in mathed seems to have a few issues. 

It surely has. There is no such thing like a TeX parser other than TeX
itself... And TeX has the benefit of operating on static text only, it
does not have to edit it.

 One of them is that LyX determines when to end an ERT sequence.  For
 example, if I hit C-L (to start ERT) and then hit the underscore
 character, LyX exits out of ERT mode, and the TeX produced is \_.
 Although it's not relevant to my example, I often want to be able to
 ERT more than just the one character.  I'm currently having issues
 because of the backslash that LyX adds.
 
 Now comes my original motivation.  I'm trying to use xypic in LyX.  I
 want to produce the following code: \ar@/_/[r] By omitting the
 underscore, I can produce \ar@//[r] by typing this literally.  When I
 type the underscore literally, LyX produces \ar@/_{/}[r] which doesn't
 work.  If I try to use ERT, I get \ar@/\_/[r] which doesn't work
 because of the extra backslash.

You could try to define a macro in ERT outside math and use it inside,
i.e. something like

Outside Mathed, in ERT or preamble: \def\arsub{\ar@/_/[r]}
In math: \arsub
 
 More specifically, I'd like to second H. Peter Gumm's question (28-Oct-05). 
 I'm trying to make ERT for xypic, but I can't get the /_/ part of
 
 \ar@/^/[r]

I am afraid this is too far off from what mathed considers 'plain
LaTeX'.

Hey guys, how are you?
Well, I need some program to transform my C++
source in a .tex or .lyx file, but I need a Windows
version of that program.  I have already a Linux
version at home, but all the C++ sources we need are 
at the office in windows, and many guys of my team
work at Windows version of Lyx only.
Hence, are there some way to transform C++ syntax
code in .tex or .lyx?
Thanks in advance!

 (Arrow labels are by default are centered according to the midpoints of the

 the arrow label will be off-center with respect to the midpoint of the
 actual arrow.)

 The only workaround I've found is adding to the preamble
 \newcommand{\uc}[2]{#1^-{#2}}
 \newcommand{\lc}[2]{#1_-{#2}}

The simpler workaround is just to use \ \ \ p or p\ \ \ \  as label. The

of the first is that label p will be shifted to the right, of the second that 
it is

Hi,

kdissert - latex - Lyx and adding the rest

I would like to hear, what you are thinking about a combination of kdissert

Lyx as a plugin in kdissert or the other way round?

What would be needed in your eyes?

Nusret,

  Mind mapping is a tool for people who were never taught to organize their
thoughts and ideas in an outline. A few years ago I thought it was something
special and useful. Then I discovered that I had been doing all this -- under
a different name, of course -- for decades. :-)

  If someone wants to make a link between that tool and LyX, it's OK with me
as long as it's an optional add on during the ./configure step. I don't want
it cluttering up a highly productive tool.

Re: Mysterious addition of dots after citation

[Bo Peng]

 This is absolutely not our bug.

I did not say this is lyx' fault. I said that lyx is vulnerable to an
existing mail system caveat, and lyx is likely to be the scapegoat. To
the best interest of lyx, I suggest that lyx do something with it.

You and other developers have all the reasons to say 'this is not our
bug' and ignore this problem. But as a lyx user, I will have to be
careful about the encoding of the lyx attachment and check for doubled
dots for every lyx file I receive. Users who are not aware  of this
problem may give up lyx because of this.

 Send you attachments as application/octet-stream and be done with it.

As far as I can tell, my mutt encodes lyx file with 7 bits by default
and my MS/OE/SMTP does the same. I do hope that I am among the extreme
minority who suffer from this problem.

I will CC this email to lyx-users in case that they are not aware of the risk.

Re: Just an idea - would like to hear your opinion

[Nusret BALCI]

So, it's doing basically what I think :)? Anyways,
something that doesn't talk to me may very well be
useful for others.

But this brings to mind something else: as far as I
remember from previous emails in this list, it's
possible to interface lyx with several external
programs. (Someone asked about octave or mathematica,
or something similar). For example, is there a
complete enough interface with gnuplot (which I find
useful, whereas others may disagree :)) out there?

Nusret

increase size of figure and table captions

[Matthew.Kelly]

Hi all,

I apologise that this is a trivial question that would probably be answered 
with just a little digging.

One of the examiners of my thesis decided that the figure and table captions 
were too small, so I was wondering what the best way of making them bigger. 
Currently they are the same font size as the text. If there is no easy way I 
will just spend the same time making up a reason that this is the appropriate 
size for captions.

I did not say this is lyx' fault. I said that lyx is vulnerable to an
existing mail system caveat, and lyx is likely to be the scapegoat. To
the best interest of lyx, I suggest that lyx do something with it.

You and other developers have all the reasons to say 'this is not our
bug' and ignore this problem. But as a lyx user, I will have to be
careful about the encoding of the lyx attachment and check for doubled
dots for every lyx file I receive. Users who are not aware  of this
problem may give up lyx because of this.

 Send you attachments as application/octet-stream and be done with it.

As far as I can tell, my mutt encodes lyx file with 7 bits by default
and my MS/OE/SMTP does the same. I do hope that I am among the extreme
minority who suffer from this problem.

I will CC this email to lyx-users in case that they are not aware of the risk.

Re: Just an idea - would like to hear your opinion

[Nusret BALCI]

So, it's doing basically what I think :)? Anyways,
something that doesn't talk to me may very well be
useful for others.

But this brings to mind something else: as far as I
remember from previous emails in this list, it's
possible to interface lyx with several external
programs. (Someone asked about octave or mathematica,
or something similar). For example, is there a
complete enough interface with gnuplot (which I find
useful, whereas others may disagree :)) out there?

 Nusret,
 
Mind mapping is a tool for people who were
 never taught to organize their
 thoughts and ideas in an outline. A few years ago I
 thought it was something
 special and useful. Then I discovered that I had
 been doing all this -- under
 a different name, of course -- for decades. :-)
 
If someone wants to make a link between that tool
 and LyX, it's OK with me
 as long as it's an optional add on during the
 ./configure step. I don't want
 it cluttering up a highly productive tool.

increase size of figure and table captions

[Matthew.Kelly]

Hi all,

I apologise that this is a trivial question that would probably be answered 
with just a little digging.

One of the examiners of my thesis decided that the figure and table captions 
were too small, so I was wondering what the best way of making them bigger. 
Currently they are the same font size as the text. If there is no easy way I 
will just spend the same time making up a reason that this is the appropriate 
size for captions.

It surely has. There is no such thing like a TeX parser other than TeX

You could try to define a macro in ERT outside math and use it inside,
i.e. something like

Outside Mathed, in ERT or preamble: \def\arsub{\ar@/_/[r]}
In math: \arsub

Hey guys, how are you?
Well, I need some program to transform my C++
source in a .tex or .lyx file, but I need a Windows
version of that program.  I have already a Linux
version at home, but all the C++ sources we need are 
at the office in windows, and many guys of my team
work at Windows version of Lyx only.
Hence, are there some way to transform C++ syntax

The simpler workaround is just to use "\ \ \ p" or "p\ \ \ \ " as label. The 
effect
of the first is that label p will be shifted to the right, of the second that 
it is
shifted to the left. Use as many "\ " as desired. "\hskip" and
"\hskip" will work likewise.

Just an idea - would like to hear your opinion

[.]

Hi,

I just got an idea. I often using lyx - but I also like mindmapping. For 
mindmapping I am using kdissert. But it right now it is only a stony one way 
direction:

kdissert -> latex -> Lyx and adding the rest

I would like to hear, what you are thinking about a combination of kdissert 
(mindmapping) and lyx (semantic writing)?

Lyx as a plugin in kdissert or the other way round?

What would be needed in your eyes?

Would are you thinking about «roundtrip writing» in the style of roudtring 
engineering?

Ciao, Henning

  "Mind mapping" is a tool for people who were never taught to organize their
