Anyone with experience in pdf2rtf conversion?
I am still so disappointed by lyx-word conversion so I was looking at pdf2rtf converters. There appear to be several commercial ones and some open source ones. Anybody knows how well these works? I am in particular interested in getting body text, sections, lists, figures, references, tables and footnotes correct (in that order).

Re: Paragraph spacing of an array caption+label.
Nicolas Ferré wrote: Dear all, If I write the label of an array immediately after the array and if I change the paragraph spacing of the caption above the array from the default one, a cross-reference to this array label appears in the dvi as the section numbering instead of the array numbering. See the minimal example attached. A solution consists in setting the label in the caption paragraph. Is this a bug or a feature ? It is the way latex (and therefore lyx) works. Tables aren't numbered, floats aren't numbered, it is the captions that are numbered. So if you want to cross-reference a label number, you should indeed put the label inside that caption. Now, is this a feature or an annoyance? I think it is a feature, for it allows several tables/figures in a single float. (See the attached file.) That would be impossible if the float itself was the numbered entity. This is useful when figures/tables are so small that they fit comfortably side by side. This saves paper, and avoids unpleasantly large white areas in the document. Helge Hafting doubletab.lyx Description: application/lyx

Re: Trouble again with instant preview...

Bruce Muirhead wrote: does anyone know if there are existing classes which suit the medical profession for things such as patient records and laboratory reports? Or, is there something which could easily be modified? Or, where would I begin designing something like that myself? Depends a lot on what you need. For easy, consider using the existing report class for lab reports. You can of course make a template document if you have some standard stuff that goes in all of your lab reports. You should check out whether a well made template document does the job, or if the standard classes really lack something cruical. You can of course search the net for latex classes that do what you want. If you can't find any, you'll have to roll your own. This requires quite a bit of latex knowledge, but it is possible to pick up all that knowledge as you go. Get a good latex manual or two. Some knowledge of typography or programming will be useful. After you find or make a latex class, you need to make a lyx .layout file. Documentation on how to do this comes with lyx, see chapter 5 in help-customization. You will need some latex knowledge here, i.e. exactly how to use the latex class you're going to use. Some people have done this, some find it difficult. You won't find it hard if you're capable of making your own latex class though. This kind of customization can be rather time-consuming in the beginning, but it could save lots of work later.

writing two consecutive cases in AMS article
Hello Everyone, I'm trying to typeset my homework using Lyx. So far I have a document where the lines are of the type: Theorem Proof Case Case The problem I have is that the second Case does not actually say 'Case', unlike the first line. The line is merely indented. I noticed that this always happens with consecutive lines of the same case. How do I make the word 'Case' appear? Thanks! - Andrew Corrigan

Apparently, the reason why Instant Preview did not work was because it didn't find this file to process. When instant preview is enabled, LyX exports each distinct math inset to a separate tex file in the temp directory, and names them 0lyxpreview.tex, 1lyxpreview.tex, etc. So 0lyxpreview.tex would contain all the headers for a normal LaTeX file, but the only contents of the document is your first math inset. Did you look in the temporary directory (while LyX was running) to see if 0lyxpreview.tex was written there? /Paul

So far I have a document where the lines are of the type: Theorem Proof Case Case The problem I have is that the second Case does not actually say 'Case', unlike the first line.

When instant preview is enabled, LyX exports each distinct math inset to a separate tex file in the temp directory, and names them 0lyxpreview.tex, 1lyxpreview.tex, etc. So 0lyxpreview.tex would contain all the headers for a normal LaTeX file, but the only contents of the document is your first math inset. Did you look in the temporary directory (while LyX was running) to see if 0lyxpreview.tex was written there? /Paul

But the output html file looks more normal than htlatex. Those pngs are not integrated into the final html file output.

Anyone with experience in pdf2rtf conversion?
I am still so disappointed by lyx->word conversion so I was looking at pdf2rtf converters. There appear to be several commercial ones and some open source ones. Anybody knows how well these works?

Re: Paragraph spacing of an array caption+label.
Nicolas Ferré wrote: Dear all, If I write the label of an array immediately after the array and if I change the paragraph spacing of the caption above the array from the default one, a cross-reference to this array label appears in the dvi as the section numbering instead of the array numbering. See the minimal example attached. A solution consists in setting the label in the caption paragraph. Is this a bug or a feature ? It is the way latex (and therefore lyx) works. Tables aren't numbered, floats aren't numbered, it is the captions that are numbered. So if you want to cross-reference a label number, you should indeed put the label inside that caption. Now, is this a feature or an annoyance? I think it is a feature, for it allows several tables/figures in a single float. (See the attached file.) That would be impossible if the float itself was the numbered entity. This is useful when figures/tables are so small that they fit comfortably side by side. This saves paper, and avoids unpleasantly large white areas in the document. Helge Hafting doubletab.lyx Description: application/lyx

Anybody knows how well these works? I didn't know there were commercial ones. For the open source ones, just download the lot and try them all. For commercial ones, write to the vendor and ask specifically about the features you care about. Perhaps you can send them a demo document for conversion - then you buy _if_ the result is good. I think some kind of latex->rtf converter would be better than a pdf->rtf converter. This because PDF don't contain logical markup. A converter will have to guess. Is a numeral set in a tiny font a footnote marker, or is it an exponent? Impossible to say! The latex file contains all logical markup though, so at least a good conversion to rtf is possible. That don't mean a good converter exists though. I am in particular interested in getting body text, sections, lists, figures, references, tables and footnotes correct (in that order).

writing two consecutive cases in AMS article
Hello Everyone, I'm trying to typeset my homework using Lyx. So far I have a document where the lines are of the type: Theorem Proof Case Case The problem I have is that the second Case does not actually say 'Case', unlike the first line. The line is merely indented. I noticed that this always happens with consecutive lines of the same case. How do I make the word 'Case' appear? Thanks! - Andrew Corrigan

Apparently, the reason why Instant Preview did not work was because it didn't find this file to process. When instant preview is enabled, LyX exports each distinct math inset to a separate tex file in the temp directory, and names them "0lyxpreview.tex", "1lyxpreview.tex", etc. So 0lyxpreview.tex would contain all the headers for a normal LaTeX file, but the only contents of the document is your first math inset. Did you look in the temporary directory (while LyX was running) to see if 0lyxpreview.tex was written there? /Paul

Stick a line containing {} in ERT (and nothing else) between them, and
make it a standard paragraph. I've attached a minimal example.

The problem is that LyX calls htlatex with a full path and does not change the current dir to the dir containing the file to be converted. Please find below two scripts "htlatex" and "htlatex.bat". The first one is for Cygwin and you can put it in /usr/local/bin. The second (less refined ;-)) one is for a native LyX and should be put somewhere in the PATH ahead of the miktex bin dir (/latextools is a good choice). You should now have no problems with View->Html ;-) I did as you suggested. Both scripts work to some extent. The big improvement is that the .png files which are needed to display equations inside the html doc are now generated. They are also correctly generated compared to the manual method. But the output html file looks more "normal" than htlatex. Those pngs are not integrated into the final html file output. For splash.lyx->splash.html it means the small footnote at the bottom of the splash page is a separate html file. IOW, there are two html files created. In Windows, it is necessary to delete the "originaldir" found in Additional Flags = originaldir,needaux Cygwin seems to work the same, now makes the good pngs, but the output html file is bereft of their images. The soup is missing an ingredient, Stephen

I don't know if Enrico's script for Cygwin will help you; thread: "HTML export" Regards, Stephen

Is't for that need that originaldir flag is added in the preference template ? This seems broken on Solaris, and possibly on Windows (check in this thread). Thanks for the scripts anyway, but the question about extra flags remains. This is now working better, the pngs are generated in the right directory, but not included in the output html file. I had to remove originaldir from originaldir,needaux in additional flags. Otherwise for Windows, the output file was myfile.htm rather than the expected myfile.html and LyX would say it couldn't find the file. Removing originaldir, creates the looked for myfile.html. The file is created in either case, but with originaldir the filename is wrong. Regards, Stephen

I checked the LyX sources and found that what I was trying to achieve through the scripts is the same thing you obtain when you *omit* the originaldir flag. So, simply delete the originaldir flag and send to the bit bucket those scripts ;-) -- Enrico
