enumeration problem...
Hello all,
What I am trying to create is the following enumerated list;
1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
[standard text]
4. Item 4
5. Item 5
However, Lyx reset to 1 the enumeration after the standard text. How can
I get around that problem. I looked on the Wiki and the closest I got to
an answer is from Paul A. Rubin who wrote that \newcounter{myCounter}
could be used. (http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/ReferToEnumeratedItem)
However, I got stucked with errors when trying to mimic his ERT code
from my list.
Thanks,
Mathieu

I think bzip2.exe comes with default install of MinSys which is one of LyX's helper apps. So you would invoke bzip2.exe from the command line on the file. From say C:\isos or whatever folder contains the downloaded file, you would type at the command line using the Msys shell, (without quotes) "C:\msys\1.0\bin\bzip2.exe -d md.iso.bz2" unpacks the iso. The Miktex program comes with three helper utilities, Miktex Update Wizard, Miktex Options and Miktex Package Manager. Use Start->All Programs->Miktex and put your mouse pointer on Miktex and a drop-down box appears with several options including those above. If you just install one package, say setspace.sty, or a new font, then you need to open up the Mitex Options utility, and run Refresh Now. This makes the Miktex filename database aware of the new additions. By install I mean put the file(s) in the correct C:\texmf or localtexmf directory. Then you still need to run Miktex Options, Refresh Now, next. Regards, Stephen
Re: Set line spacing
Thank you all for the answers. I downloaded some of the packages and saved them in one folder. Then i changed "package repository" in miktex options to local folder and set it to that folder. But it failed. Is there any (somthing like) configuration file or packagelist file to make it works? How to make a local folder a package repository? Is there any file that i can download all the packages in one file instead of downloading them one by one? I'd like to bundle all the packages and lyx into a CD so i don't need to connect to the internet. Is there any tips or idea?

little problem with 1.4.0pre5
Hello, When I open a footnote and I want mark the entire text I have a problem. I put the cursor at the start of footnote text, then press shift key and down arrow key, then with right arrow key I mark until final point of footnote. All OK. But if I press a key one more time, for error, marked zone continue from top of footnote box and I lost control on marked zone. I need cancel mark and make all again from start. Regards.

Thanks Jürgen, I posted the problem to
es.comp.lenguajes.tex and I get a solution
but this work in Kile and not work in Lyx.
Is not global but simple.
A person in that list say that
after put \usepackage[spanish]{babel}
in preamble I must put a tilde (~)
prev to em dash ~---like this---
In lyx this not work. Tilde is print without
any change but, before I re-quest to this
person I check it with Kile and this work very
well, tilde is not print and hyphenation is
made correctly.
How I can get it in Lyx?
But I think that a global setting must be
exist. (I never see a broken line like this
).
Or like this (
this is a comment).
I think that same behavior of latex with <)>
and <---> must be exist.
How I can get it?
Remember that I not want avoid hyphenation
in entire comments. I only need that hyphenation
not cut em dash from joint word.
Thanks
Marcelo

lyx and otftotfm
Hello, I'd like to use otftotfm to convert some of my opentype typefaces for use in lyx (windows with miktex). I'm not sure, however, where to install the files. When I run the program it doesn't find the various files it needs, and I get "encoding 't1' not found". The manual wasn't helpful because there is no windows support. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks, e.

Re: keybindings referenceguide

Focus not returned to text after insert
Using 1.4.0svn of a couple of days ago, whenever I try to insert anything that is on the first level of the Insert menu (i.e. 'Insert > Footnote' as opposed to 'Insert > Note > ...') using the keyboard, focus is not returned to the text window after the item is inserted. For example, were I to use 'M-i f' to insert a footnote and then typed 'f', the File menu would be opened. In addition to this, and possibly a separate issue, if I then press the Meta key (Alt) again, to return the cursor to the text area (as happens even under normal LyX conditions) the menus are no longer selected but neither is the text area usable. Pressing keys on the keyboard does nothing. Dan
Nomenclature
Is there any way of generating a nomenclature inside lyx? I have not seen any place where I can specify the makeindex options. I must export the lyx document to latex and then perform a makeindex, but the problem is then that I have many figures that are not *.ps or *.eps, and are not properly handled with latex without converting them first, which is an awful task. Thanks.

newly downloaded font problem
Dear LyX-users,
I downloaded the font AnnSton from here
http://ftp.nluug.nl/textproc/tex-archive/fonts/initials/
Then I put all these files in the same directory as my .lyx file.
This in the preamble:
\input AnnSton.fd
This somewhere in my document (a LaTeX inset):
{\fontsize{60pt}{72pt}\usefont{U}{AnnSton}{xl}{n}
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z}
Now, LyX gives me this error:
Font U/AnnSton/xl/n/60=AnnSton at 60.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not
...ze{60pt}{72pt}\usefont{U}{AnnSton}{xl}{n}
I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\font='.
Seems like it doesn't find the AnnSton.tfm, which is also in the current
directory?
Then, when I export this file to LaTeX, and run LaTeX on it, it does work!
Can anybody perhaps explain how I can make the LyX version run?
Thanks in advance,
JeeBee.

To keep the LyX installation small, the installer installs a basic version of MiKTeX that only contains the most important LaTeX-packages. (There are thousands of available packages but you only need a few of them.) The installer is designed to force MikTeX to install all packages needed for LyX, but setspace seems to be forgotten. The next installer version will have a fix for this. Should i download ekstra package using "miktex options"? Yes, or use MiKTeX's package manager. The best solution is to open "MiKTeX Options", switch to the tab "Packages", and set a package repository from the internet. After this is done process your LyX-file again and MiKTeX will now install missing packages automatically. regards Uwe
Re: Instant preview not instant
I have known the problem Stacia and Paul are reporting, and I agree with Paul, that one can easily live with it. Still, I could imagine that one could provide key command, prompting LyX or instant preview to do a refresh - either for the current editing window or for the whole document. H.Peter Paul A. Rubin wrote: Stacia Hartleben wrote: I was going to post this again in the IPA question list, but I thought I might post it here. I'm using LyX 1.3.7 on Windows. Sometimes when I'm working with instant preview (not just linguistics, when I am writing math papers with subscripts and so on), LyX will not automatically change everything into an instant preview. This happens to me, somewhat routinely (same version, same OS -- also happened with 1.3.6). I'm left with a weird looking paper where half of the subscripts are in instant preview and half aren't. The only way to get them out of this mode is to click on the item and then click outside of it - usually then it makes it display. I think scrolling up and down (and being a bit patient before returning to an inset) sometimes "gooses" LyX to do the IP conversion. Is this supposed to happen, Probably not. or are the images supposed to display "instantly" sort of like how graphics display? Am I doing something wrong? I can send a screenshot if someone is confused about what I mean. You're not doing anything wrong. A brief delay before processing a formula would not be unreasonable; I not infrequently lurch out of a math inset before I'm done editing it (hit the space bar one time too many coming out of a subscript, for instance), and have to dive right back in. A deliberate (brief) delay would save some wasted processing. What you and I are experiencing, however, does not seem to be a planned delay (or at least not solely that), since some insets convert almost immediately and others sit around for quite a while in their "raw" state. When I open up a document sometimes I have trouble with the instant preview too, especially with linguistics trees and stuff. I couldn't seem to reproduce the problem with my math paper and subscripts (given a couple seconds they all turned into the instant preview version). Instant preview is doing running latex each time it updates, so if you have a lot of insets (and some of them require more than average processing by latex), it's not surprising that the initial conversions might take a while. That said, I run into the same problem of insets waiting for Godot when I open a document that I do when editing. It's a bit distracting, but IMHO not a major problem. Cheers, /Paul

problem of font
hi everybody, something strange happens to my lyx. I try to explain the best I can: on the "lyx page", the "é" became "kh" with the "h" underlines and the "F" is now a little black door. there many other changes but I can't enumerate all of them. When I create the pdf files related to my document, everything is ok! I tried to uninstall lyx and reinstall it. nothing change... so my question is : Does anybody know how to make this stop? that all. thanks you. matthieu
