tensind package incompatible with LyX?
Hi all,
I am trying to use the package tensind.sty for typesetting tensors with
multiple
upper and lower indices in LyX.
In LaTeX this works great: after defining a special tensor delimiter in the
preamble (here I use the letter ?) one can in math mode type
?A^\mu_\nu? for northwest, southeast indices and
?A_\mu^\nu? for southwest, northeast indices following the tensor symbol A.
Here, the order of super- and subscript matters! LyX seems to REORDER the
super- and
subscript in such a way that always the subscript comes first.
Also, within tensind, ?g_\mu_\nu? is perfectly acceptable, and has a different
meaning (and typeset result) than ?g_{\mu\nu}? Within LyX, one always gets the
latter
form due to automatic grouping in the math editor
Is there a workaround?
Thanks a lot, Nils

You know how to type this in latex, therefore, there is a workaround:
Type your tensor stuff in an ERT box, as raw latex. (Instead
of using mathed for it). Non-tensor math can still go in the math
editor of course.
Consider filing a wishlist bug at bugzilla.lyx.org, perhaps someone
pick this up and fixes it some day. (Likely not right now, lyx
is in a feature freeze before version 1.5.0)

different vertical margins for odd and even pages?
hello, is there a way to define different vertical margins for odd and even pages? (I'm designing Vocabulary-Cards with lyx and on the odd side I need a header and a footer, but on the even side I need neither one - but space to write the anwer...) One of my Ideas was, to have small margins and then a negative headsep and footsep. this works for the header fine but not for the footer, the minus is ignored in the footsep thanks Robert

Check the fancyhdr manual, the \lhead, \lfoot... have optional args to manage
twosided documents.
E.g., to customize running headers:
\lhead[\fancyplain{\rm\thepage}{\rm\thepage}]{\fancyplain{}{\it\rightmark}}
\rhead[\fancyplain{}{\it\leftmark}]{\fancyplain{\rm\thepage}{\rm\thepage}}
(\fancyplain is used to remove the marks on plain pages, i.e. opening

Supposing you are using a KOMA class (as stated below),
for instance:

They shouldn't.

Sue,
the way to fix this is to put the following in the Document
Preamble of the main file (Document Settings LaTeX Preamle -
insert it either at the start or end, doesn't matter):
\newcommand\Prefix[3]{\vphantom{#3}#1#2#3}
What happened is that the author of the child document put in a
custom definition in the preamble of that file, which is not
defined at the top level (in your main document). That's the line I
copied above. With this line added to the main preamble, everything
compiles fine here.
The reason for this problem is that the Child Document feature of
LyX is really simplistic. It doesn't seem to merge the preambles of
the included documents. And of course that would be really hard to
implement correctly in practice, so I think all one can say is: use
this feature with caution.

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
Now I've tried adding an inconsequential change to the master
document, opening and closing LyX, and every other trick I've
used this last 6 months working with this program, as I have
learned that many times the error messages tell you one thing
is wrong when it's something completely different. FWIW, the
child doc which was changed will generate a PDF just fine. In
fact, each child document that I've tried generates a PDF with
no trouble. As I said, only the one was changed. I'm using
1.4.3 on Max OS X.
Any fix, tips or lyx voodoo would be greatly appreciated.
Did you perhaps un-check the AMS math box in the master
document? It needs to be checked (in DocumentSettingsMath
Options) because the gather environment is part of AMS LaTeX,
not standard LaTeX. That's the only thing I can guess without
an example file...
No, that's checked, both in the parent and in the child doc that
was changed (and probably is checked in all docs. I didn't
change anything else since this problem began).
I'll attach the parent file but how can you check the problem
without all the files, and surely you don't want them all?
Sorry, that was my only idea for now. I guess it would be nice to
have a minimal example. I.e., while periodically checking if the
compilation succeeds, cut out all the files that are unrelated to
the problem, and cut all the unrelated content from the files
that cause the problem, and then post only those files that are
left, with the compilation error still occurring. By doing that,
you may even be able to isolate the problem yourself.

Unless you modified the path (in Tools - Preferences... - Paths - Temporary directory), you'll find it in C:\Documents and Settings\Stephen\Local Settings\Temp.

I have Lyx running locally on Apple OS and I also have a Fink / Lyx install. Both show same error 'that document... can't print. Check your printer for correct settings.'. I can export to texshop and print only if there are absolutely no errors in the document. Since I am trying to teach my kids to use Lyx in preparation for college and error free pages are still rare.

Lyx not printing
Hi, I've read, looked first and am confused; and I can't print directly from Lyx. I am on an Apple G5 10.4.current patch using PPC chip. I have Lyx running locally on Apple OS and I also have a Fink / Lyx install. Both show same error 'that document... can't print. Check your printer for correct settings.'. I can export to texshop and print only if there are absolutely no errors in the document. Since I am trying to teach my kids to use Lyx in preparation for college and error free pages are still rare. I've tried piping to the printer by different routes that I have experience with in other programs (Neo Office, Inkscape) and I don't think that is the problem. Thanks for any help.

tensind package incompatible with LyX?
Hi all,
I am trying to use the package "tensind.sty" for typesetting tensors with
multiple
upper and lower indices in LyX.
In LaTeX this works great: after defining a special "tensor delimiter" in the
preamble (here I use the letter "?") one can in math mode type
?A^\mu_\nu? for northwest, southeast indices and
?A_\mu^\nu? for southwest, northeast indices following the tensor symbol A.
Here, the order of super- and subscript matters! LyX seems to REORDER the
super- and
subscript in such a way that always the subscript comes first.
Also, within tensind, ?g_\mu_\nu? is perfectly acceptable, and has a different
meaning (and typeset result) than ?g_{\mu\nu}? Within LyX, one always gets the
latter
form due to automatic grouping in the math editor
Is there a workaround?
Thanks a lot, Nils

You know how to type this in latex, therefore, there is a workaround:
Type your tensor stuff in an ERT box, as raw latex. (Instead
of using mathed for it). Non-tensor math can still go in the math
editor of course.
Consider filing a wishlist bug at bugzilla.lyx.org, perhaps someone
pick this up and fixes it some day. (Likely not right now, lyx
is in a feature freeze before version 1.5.0)

different vertical margins for odd and even pages?

(I'm designing Vocabulary-Cards with lyx and on the odd side I need a header and a footer, but on the even side I need neither one - but space to write the anwer...) One of my Ideas was, to have small margins and then a negative headsep and footsep. this works for the header fine but not for the footer, the minus is ignored in the footsep thanks Robert

Check the fancyhdr manual, the \lhead, \lfoot... have optional args to manage
twosided documents.
E.g., to customize running headers:
\lhead[\fancyplain{\rm\thepage}{\rm\thepage}]{\fancyplain{}{\it\rightmark}}
\rhead[\fancyplain{}{\it\leftmark}]{\fancyplain{\rm\thepage}{\rm\thepage}}
(\fancyplain is used to remove the marks on "plain" pages, i.e. opening
chapter pages).

The Projectsfile where removed from the Berliosserver. We work continuess on our original aim: the Documentclass for BA-Papers. To develop the docuclass we has founded a new Berliosproject called badocuclass http://developer.berlios.de/projects/badocuclass/ Last week we presents our Solution about 70 BA-stundents at the Wirtschaftsinformatik BA in Stuttgart. The Students show a lot of interesset. We wonder how many of them chose the presented Solution for writing the Papers. To make it easy for the Students to test the Doculass, we distribute a Cd wiht the latest LyXWinInstaller and our BA-Docuslass. uwe > Am Montag, 4.

Supposing you are using a KOMA class (as stated below),
for instance:
\setkomafont{captionlabel}{\sffamily\bfseries}
(in preamble).

They shouldn't.
However, use the tocloft package (which is well documented) to tweak the look
of the TOC.

Lyx not printing
Hi, I've read, looked first and am confused; and I can't print directly from Lyx. I am on an Apple G5 10.4.current patch using PPC chip. I have Lyx running locally on Apple OS and I also have a Fink / Lyx install. Both show same error 'that document... can't print. Check your printer for correct settings.'. I can export to texshop and print only if there are absolutely no errors in the document. Since I am trying to teach my kids to use Lyx in preparation for college and error free pages are still rare. I've tried piping to the printer by different routes that I have experience with in other programs (Neo Office, Inkscape) and I don't think that is the problem. Thanks for any help.
