Re: Questions regarding hyperref

[Tim Michelsen]

I cannot help you here as I don't have the file. I assume the reason is 
one of your strange preamble hacks. To find the reason, copy the file 
and remove everything except of one text line. If you then still have 
problems, remove the preamble stuff step by step until you found the 
problematic code.

For the debugging of your preamble I recommend to put it in a external file.

Put the following in preable part of your document settings:
\input{preamble.tex}

Then create and edit preamble.tex with the editor of your choice.

This is also an advantage becaue you'll be able to reuse the preable, 
have different versions etc.

Re: Algorithm listing

[Helge Hafting]

Graham Griffiths wrote:
Is there a way of getting code listings to continue onto another page using 
float algorithm.


If not, does the latest beta version support a multi-page float algorithm.
  

There is no such thing as a multi-page float.

If it isn't a float - then it can continue onto the next page.  If it is
a float, then it can't have a page break.

The whole point of a float is to not break up large objects
(pictures, tables, or anything you _must_ have in one piece)
and still get pretty typesetting by floating the large
objects around a bit. If you don't want it in one piece,
don't use a float. (Or use several floats with pieces of your
big algorithm.)

Breakable code listings can be done in many ways:
1. Use the LyX-code style for writing code.
2. Use a verbatim include, in order to pull in code from a file
3. With the last beta, use insert-Program listing and _don't_ make it 
a float.

4. Use a sequence of floats for your algorithm. The first ones should
   be big enough to fill pages, the last one may be smaller.

Another reason people use floats, is to get a caption they can refer
to. Unfortunately, a caption outside a float is tricky business.
The easiest is to use a heading instead - as you can refer to headings too.

The program listing way is nice, in that you can select whether an
algorithm should be a float or not. And there are lots of other
features. You can get automatic syntax higlighting if you like, you can
get automatic line numbers, you can include pieces from
a file (e.g. lines 10--20) and much more.

I usually do this:

LyX don't notice that you get back to exactly the same

Including LyX documents as Appendices

[Tim Harris]

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a report in which I would like to include several other, 
previously written, LyX documents as appendices to the report. I have 
tried both the Insert-File-LyX Document and the Insert-File-Child 
Document and both have inserted the previous document as a continuation 
of the current document, rather than a sub-section of the appendix (i.e. 
each new section in the previous document creates a new appendix in the 
current document).


I've uploaded a couple PDFs so you can see the effect.
An example previously written document is: 
http://www.pongle.net/~tim/lyx/previous_report.pdf

An example document which includes the previous document is:
http://www.pongle.net/~tim/lyx/main.pdf

I had a good look through the manuals and FAQs, but couldn't see 
anything that would help me.


My ideal result would be that the included document should be printed as 
if it were a separate document, except for the page numbers and perhaps 
a header indicating that it was Appendix A of Report Blah. Another 
option would be for sections to be turned into sub-sections of the 
appendix (A.1, A.2, etc.).


If anyone has any thoughts on how I might go about accomplishing this, 
they would be most helpful.


Many Thanks,
Tim

PS
I'm using LyX 1.4.4 mainly on Windows.

Speed of Lyx

[Fritz Bein]

Hi,

I have some problems with the speed of Lyx 1.5 (beta). Maybe it occurred  
after the installation of MikTex 2.6. A 10-page document takes approx. 35  
sec. to compile and display with Yap. The same document in WinEdt takes  
only 9 sec. on my notebook.


Is this normal, or may there be something wrong in my system?

numbering problem using appendix with koma-script

[Tim Michelsen]

Hello,
I am writing a text with the class report (koma-script).

I am having the following problem:

When I add an appendix all
numerations will have a ending point added.

I found the problem with the option pointednumbers in koma script.
(see p. 47: 
ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguien.pdf)


According to the documentation and German grammar rules normal sections 
with numbers should not have a point whereas appendices should have one:

1 first section
2 second section
A. Appendix
B. AppendixB

koma script creates this formating through storing this information in 
the *.aux-file. Latex should be run twice to include this. When I 
preview a postscript (CTRL+T) and and directly actualize it directly 
afterwards (CTRL+SHIFT+T) I cannot see any effect.


What can I do to get the above described formatting?

I had the same problem with having a passage like see another author 
\cite{author_x} in my bibtex file.


Thank you for your help!

As you are using LyX 1.5 you can enter it directly via the keyboard. The only 
thing you have to do 
is to use the default encoding for English in your case. Attached is a LyX-file 
showing this.

You can alternatively use the ERT-command
\textmu
when you add this to your document preamble:
\usepackage{textcomp}

Concerning units, don't forget that there is only a hlaf space between number

I don't know if you understood it already (or maybe I did not get your 
point). There are two possibilities according to Duden 1996:


Possibility 1 (no appendix):
1 Chapter
1.1 Section
1.2 Section
2 Chapter
2.1 Section
..
Figure 2.1
..

Possibility 2 (with appendix):
1. Chapter
1.1. Section
1.2. Section
2. Chapter
2.1. Section
..
Figure 2.1.
..
A. Appendix 1
A.1. Section
A.2. Section
B. Appendix 2
B.1. Section
..
Figure B.1.
..

In *both* cases, referring to a sectino results e.g. in Section 1.2 
(i.e. without the dot after the last number!).


The KOMA option pointlessnumbers gives you the result of possibility 
1, even if there is an appendix.


The KOMA option pointednumbers gives you the result of possibility 2, 
even if there is no appendix.


If you have none of the options set, KOMA decides which case is 
appropriate, i.e.: if you have no appendix, possibility 1 is used, if 
you have an appendix, possibility 2 is used. This feature may need more 
LaTeX runs of which LyX is not aware, so it could be that the change 
does not take effect in the first output after you added or removed an 
appendix. But if you change something in the lyx document and compile 
again, the change should become effective.

and, in Lyx it appears [nolte:01] instead of [Nolte:01].
When i compile the document it appear [?]. If i try to change the case 
in the bib file for nolte:01 or to insert tex code (\cite{Nolte:01}) 
it works fine.


Is this bug corrected in version Beta3 ?

Yes.

Re: Longtable Rotate

[Tim Michelsen]

When creating a table, if I choose both ³Longtable² and ³Rotate table 90
degrees² then I get an error message when compiling.  Either of the options
work independently, but not together...

I use
ERT: \begin{landscape}
TABLE

Which works well.

Different fonts in Figure title, List of Figures

[Rockoff, David]

I am writing a report in LyX, and would like to have my figure/float titles in 
bold in the body of the report, but non-bold in the List of Figures.
What is the easiest way to accomplish this?  

I have had some success with the Insert Short Title command (putting the short 
title in non-bold, and the regular title in bold).  But this does not allow me 
to have the words Figure # in bold in the report body.

Any thoughts?

TIA,

Article class with theorems (layout file)

[A S]

Dear All,

I am using the document class article (AMS, sequential numbering).
This gives me a drop-down menu from which I can select environments
Theorem, Corollary, Lemma, Proof, etc. However, I do not want to use
the amsart document class but the normal class article and still have
access to the expanded drop-down menu with Theorem, Corollary, Lemma,
and so on.

Has anyone written layout files that combine the normal article class
with the expanded drop-down menu?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

This is not too hard. You can start with the amsmaths.inc file. Bits 
will need to be changed---remove the \theroemstyle declarations, and 
delete all the starred ones---but it should be pretty easy. 
Alternatively, it ought to be possible to include this file if you add 
\usepackage{amsmath}. So try this:

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[article.cls]{article (theorems)}

Preamble
 \usepackage{amsmaths}

Input article.layout

Re: Questions regarding hyperref

[Tim Michelsen]

I cannot help you here as I don't have the file. I assume the reason is 
one of your strange preamble hacks. To find the reason, copy the file 
and remove everything except of one text line. If you then still have 
problems, remove the preamble stuff step by step until you found the 
problematic code.

For the debugging of your preamble I recommend to put it in a external file.

Put the following in preable part of your document settings:
\input{preamble.tex}

Then create and edit preamble.tex with the editor of your choice.

This is also an advantage becaue you'll be able to reuse the preable, 
have different versions etc.

Re: Algorithm listing

[Helge Hafting]

Graham Griffiths wrote:
Is there a way of getting code listings to continue onto another page using 
float algorithm.


If not, does the latest beta version support a multi-page float algorithm.
  

There is no such thing as a multi-page float.

If it isn't a float - then it can continue onto the next page.  If it is
a float, then it can't have a page break.

The whole point of a float is to not break up large objects
(pictures, tables, or anything you _must_ have in one piece)
and still get pretty typesetting by floating the large
objects around a bit. If you don't want it in one piece,
don't use a float. (Or use several floats with pieces of your
big algorithm.)

Breakable code listings can be done in many ways:
1. Use the LyX-code style for writing code.
2. Use a verbatim include, in order to pull in code from a file
3. With the last beta, use insert-Program listing and _don't_ make it 
a float.

4. Use a sequence of floats for your algorithm. The first ones should
   be big enough to fill pages, the last one may be smaller.

Another reason people use floats, is to get a caption they can refer
to. Unfortunately, a caption outside a float is tricky business.
The easiest is to use a heading instead - as you can refer to headings too.

The program listing way is nice, in that you can select whether an
algorithm should be a float or not. And there are lots of other
features. You can get automatic syntax higlighting if you like, you can
get automatic line numbers, you can include pieces from
a file (e.g. lines 10--20) and much more.

I usually do this:

Add one letter - save - remove it again - save


LyX don't notice that you get back to exactly the same

Including LyX documents as Appendices

[Tim Harris]

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a report in which I would like to include several other, 
previously written, LyX documents as appendices to the report. I have 
tried both the Insert-File-LyX Document and the Insert-File-Child 
Document and both have inserted the previous document as a continuation 
of the current document, rather than a sub-section of the appendix (i.e. 
each new section in the previous document creates a new appendix in the 
current document).


I've uploaded a couple PDFs so you can see the effect.
An example previously written document is: 
http://www.pongle.net/~tim/lyx/previous_report.pdf

An example document which includes the previous document is:
http://www.pongle.net/~tim/lyx/main.pdf

I had a good look through the manuals and FAQs, but couldn't see 
anything that would help me.


My ideal result would be that the included document should be printed as 
if it were a separate document, except for the page numbers and perhaps 
a header indicating that it was Appendix A of Report Blah. Another 
option would be for sections to be turned into sub-sections of the 
appendix (A.1, A.2, etc.).


If anyone has any thoughts on how I might go about accomplishing this, 
they would be most helpful.


Many Thanks,
Tim

PS
I'm using LyX 1.4.4 mainly on Windows.

Speed of Lyx

According to the documentation and German grammar rules normal sections

1 first section
2 second section
A. Appendix
B. AppendixB

koma script creates this formating through storing this information in 
the *.aux-file. Latex should be run twice to include this. When I 
preview a postscript (CTRL+T) and and directly actualize it directly 
afterwards (CTRL+SHIFT+T) I cannot see any effect.

As you are using LyX 1.5 you can enter it directly via the keyboard. The only

is to use the default encoding for English in your case. Attached is a LyX-file

You can alternatively use the ERT-command

I added the following as the third question from the top:

Q:##Q: Should I use this site instead of the LyX users' mailing list? A: 
No. The LyX users' list and this site complement each other. A good way 
to work to ask questions on the users' list, and then later on document 
the answers on this site. See [[LyX.Internet Resources]] for more 
details about the users' list.



I've also added a note to the Welcome page.
http://wiki.lyx.org/
that says the following:

Note: This site is a complement to the mailing lists . not a
replacement. If you have a user question and can't find the answer
here, go to the users' list and ask the question! If you then want
to help, you can document the answer you got from the users' list
here. For more information about the users' list and the
developers' list, see the page internet resources under the
section Lists and news groups.

Don't think I've come across the problem of people not knowing of the 
users' list before.


Should this be made even more clear?

Re: numbering problem using appendix with koma-script

[Tim Michelsen]

This is inconsistent and wrong. The 1996 Duden says (R4): Bei der 



Abschnittsgliederung *mit Ziffern und Buchstaben* steht der Punkt nach 
römischen und arabischen Zahlen und nach Großbuchstaben. i.e. the dot 
has to be after numbers *and* letters, if there is an appendix. I cannot 
find this rule in the 2004 Duden (23. Auflage), though.
I have 2006 Duden (24. Auflage) and can't find it either. I don't know 
why the'd bulid this option in that package. Very strange.


I found some discussion at:

I don't know if you understood it already (or maybe I did not get your 
point). There are two possibilities according to Duden 1996:


Possibility 1 (no appendix):
1 Chapter
1.1 Section
1.2 Section
2 Chapter
2.1 Section
..
Figure 2.1
..

Possibility 2 (with appendix):
1. Chapter
1.1. Section
1.2. Section
2. Chapter
2.1. Section
..
Figure 2.1.
..
A. Appendix 1
A.1. Section
A.2. Section
B. Appendix 2
B.1. Section
..
Figure B.1.
..

In *both* cases, referring to a sectino results e.g. in Section 1.2 
(i.e. without the dot after the last number!).


The KOMA option pointlessnumbers gives you the result of possibility 
1, even if there is an appendix.


The KOMA option pointednumbers gives you the result of possibility 2, 
even if there is no appendix.


If you have none of the options set, KOMA decides which case is 
appropriate, i.e.: if you have no appendix, possibility 1 is used, if 
you have an appendix, possibility 2 is used. This feature may need more 
LaTeX runs of which LyX is not aware, so it could be that the change 
does not take effect in the first output after you added or removed an 
appendix. But if you change something in the lyx document and compile 
again, the change should become effective.

Different fonts in Figure title, List of Figures

[Rockoff, David]

I am writing a report in LyX, and would like to have my figure/float titles in 
bold in the body of the report, but non-bold in the List of Figures.
What is the easiest way to accomplish this?  

I have had some success with the Insert Short Title command (putting the short 
title in non-bold, and the regular title in bold).  But this does not allow me 
to have the words Figure # in bold in the report body.

Any thoughts?

TIA,

Article class with theorems (layout file)

Dear All,

I am using the document class article (AMS, sequential numbering).
This gives me a drop-down menu from which I can select environments
Theorem, Corollary, Lemma, Proof, etc. However, I do not want to use
the amsart document class but the normal class article and still have
access to the expanded drop-down menu with Theorem, Corollary, Lemma,
and so on.

Has anyone written layout files that combine the normal article class
with the expanded drop-down menu?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

This is not too hard. You can start with the amsmaths.inc file. Bits 
will need to be changed---remove the \theroemstyle declarations, and 
delete all the starred ones---but it should be pretty easy. 
Alternatively, it ought to be possible to include this file if you add 
\usepackage{amsmath}. So try this:

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[article.cls]{article (theorems)}

Preamble
 \usepackage{amsmaths}

Re: Questions regarding hyperref

I cannot help you here as I don't have the file. I assume the reason is 
one of your strange preamble hacks. To find the reason, copy the file 
and remove everything except of one text line. If you then still have 
problems, remove the preamble stuff step by step until you found the 
problematic code.

For the debugging of your preamble I recommend to put it in a external file.

Put the following in preable part of your document settings:
\input{preamble.tex}

Then create and edit preamble.tex with the editor of your choice.

This is also an advantage becaue you'll be able to reuse the preable, 
have different versions etc.

Re: Algorithm listing

[Helge Hafting]

Graham Griffiths wrote:
Is there a way of getting code listings to continue onto another page using 
float algorithm.


If not, does the latest beta version support a multi-page float algorithm.
  

There is no such thing as a multi-page float.

If it isn't a float - then it can continue onto the next page.  If it is
a float, then it can't have a page break.

The whole point of a "float" is to not break up large objects
(pictures, tables, or anything you _must_ have in one piece)
and still get pretty typesetting by floating the large
objects around a bit. If you don't want it in one piece,
don't use a float. (Or use several floats with pieces of your
big algorithm.)

Breakable code listings can be done in many ways:
1. Use the "LyX-code" style for writing code.
2. Use a verbatim include, in order to pull in code from a file
3. With the last beta, use "insert->Program listing" and _don't_ make it 
a float.

4. Use a sequence of floats for your algorithm. The first ones should
   be big enough to fill pages, the last one may be smaller.

Another reason people use floats, is to get a caption they can refer
to. Unfortunately, a caption outside a float is tricky business.
The easiest is to use a heading instead - as you can refer to headings too.

The "program listing" way is nice, in that you can select whether an
algorithm should be a float or not. And there are lots of other
features. You can get automatic syntax higlighting if you like, you can
get automatic line numbers, you can include pieces from
a file (e.g. lines 10--20) and much more.

I usually do this:

LyX don't notice that you get back to exactly the same

Now, LyX isn't supposed to need such trickery, so please

Including LyX documents as Appendices

[Tim Harris]

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a report in which I would like to include several other, 
previously written, LyX documents as appendices to the report. I have 
tried both the Insert->File->LyX Document and the Insert->File->Child 
Document and both have inserted the previous document as a continuation 
of the current document, rather than a sub-section of the appendix (i.e. 
each new section in the previous document creates a new appendix in the 
current document).


I've uploaded a couple PDFs so you can see the effect.
An example previously written document is: 
http://www.pongle.net/~tim/lyx/previous_report.pdf

An example document which includes the previous document is:
http://www.pongle.net/~tim/lyx/main.pdf

I had a good look through the manuals and FAQs, but couldn't see 
anything that would help me.


My ideal result would be that the included document should be printed as 
if it were a separate document, except for the page numbers and perhaps 
a header indicating that it was Appendix A of Report Blah. Another 
option would be for sections to be turned into sub-sections of the 
appendix (A.1, A.2, etc.).


If anyone has any thoughts on how I might go about accomplishing this, 
they would be most helpful.


Many Thanks,
Tim

I have not encountered frequent crashes. The only one I've noted is a  
crash on log in when LyX is in the Startup items. If you can, please  
provide more details.


By the way, are you on Intel or PPC Mac?

I don't use formulae much myself, so I don't have such documents to  
play with and haven't encountered this problem. Can you isolate some  
minimal examples and post them to the list?

This is a known problem, though on checking I can't find it in  
bugzilla. I've just put it there (and cc-ed you on it).


Thanks for the report.

Actually, I couldn't. The bug report is:

I discovered at least one source of the crashes: when material is
selected in a table across several cells using Shift+arrow or
Shift+Cmd+arrow, LyX 1.5.0b3 reliably crashes. On Intel Macs for sure.

Bug already submitted to bugzilla.

Do you mind tyring to  the same file with ps2pdf to see if TOC and list of
figures look righ?  I want to figure out if the problem is to do with my
system (maybe old version of one of the style files, or something else).

Thanks

Speed of Lyx

[Fritz Bein]

Hi,

I have some problems with the speed of Lyx 1.5 (beta). Maybe it occurred  
after the installation of MikTex 2.6. A 10-page document takes approx. 35  
sec. to compile and display with Yap. The same document in WinEdt takes  
only 9 sec. on my notebook.


Is this normal, or may there be something wrong in my system?

numbering problem using appendix with koma-script

[Tim Michelsen]

Hello,
I am writing a text with the class "report (koma-script)".

I am having the following problem:

When I add an appendix all
numerations will have a ending point added.

I found the problem with the option "pointednumbers" in koma script.
(see p. 47: 
ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguien.pdf)


According to the documentation and German grammar rules normal sections 
with numbers should not have a point whereas appendices should have one:

1 first section
2 second section
A. Appendix
B. AppendixB

koma script creates this formating through storing this information in 
the *.aux-file. Latex should be run twice to include this. When I 
preview a postscript (CTRL+T) and and directly actualize it directly 
afterwards (CTRL+SHIFT+T) I cannot see any effect.


What can I do to get the above described formatting?

I had the same problem with having a passage like "see another author 
\cite{author_x}" in my bibtex file.


Thank you for your help!
