lyx wont covert my document to dvi
Hi, I'm a lyx newbie. I started writing my document and I wanted to export it to dvi. but when I hit the "view dvi " , or export->dvi , nothing happens. I can export it to a tex file and then with latex convert it to dvi. also, if I open Lyx tutorial and hit "view dvi" , everything works fine. does it mean there is something wrong with my document? thanks for the help. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/lyx-wont-covert-my-document-to-dvi-tp1607900p1607900.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

editing problems with 1.6 and mac 10.4 intel
hello, i am a long-time LyX user and big fan of the software. i recently upgraded to 1.6 and noticed a few strange editing problems. cmd- return does not break the paragraph (nothing happens and LyX displays unknown function in the lower left) and holding down shift to highlight characters or words does not work. in fact, if i have something highlighted, holding shift and moving the cursor to add or remove a character from the highlight causes the entire highlighted section to become unhighlighted. one other odd thing is i get a small ">" character on the right side of the cursor. this character appears when i'm moving the cursor with the right or left arrow keys or sometimes when i'm typing. it seems like a graphical glitch and is somewhat annoying. is this expected? i'm running LyX on a mac 10.4 intel. previous versions of LyX worked great and didn't have these odd editing problems. the .bind document hasn't changed with the upgrade. are these issues expected there something else i can look at or is this a bug? thanks, -brian

footnote problem
Hi, I'm just finishing my thesis and have got some problems with a couple of footnotes. some of them are moved somewhat towards the middle and there is a pretty large paragraph above it. actually i can't really trace the problem, i already tried a couple of templates (book, book-memoire, book-komascript) it's happening, when directly citing quotations (but just sometimes). I'd like to stay with the latter, because it fits my school's demands the best. I'm using lyx 1.5.3 linux, having installed most of the texlive packages. any help would be highly appreciated (it's just 3 footnotes or so, but anyway makes the layout somewhat crappy)! daniel

Subject: Re: displaying long division of polynomials in lyx
OK, I think I got it to work. I did a bunch of things (mostly uninformed),
and some combination of them seems to have worked, but I'm guessing these
were the three key steps:
1. I installed the polynom package and put it in my LaTeX directory:
C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\latex. I probably could have put it
somewhere else in my path; I'm not sure.
2. In LyX, I did Tools --> Reconfigure
3. In my document, I did Document --> Settings --> LaTeX preamble, and added
the following, which I more or less copied from some LyX help files:
%
% used to check for needed LaTeX packages
\usepackage{ifthen}
% check for package polynom
\newboolean{polynom}
\IfFileExists{polynom.sty}
{\usepackage{polynom}
\setboolean{polynom}{true}}
{\setboolean{polynom}{false}}
Then, in my document, I can click Insert --> TeX Code (or Control-L, or
click on the TeX button), and enter the TeX code for polynomial division,
e.g. \polylongdiv{x^3-7x+6}{x-1}. Then when I compile the document (e.g.
click the PDF button), the division is beautifully formatted.

There the main AMS layouts are all defined, and you ought to be able to copy one for lemma and make the relevant changes. If you know you are always going to want it, then you can copy amsdefs.inc to your local LyX directory (~/.lyx/layouts/, by default on Linux, something else elsewhere) and modify that file. If you only want it sometimes, then the best thing to do (in 1.6, only) is create a module for these extensions. Here, you could start with theorems-ams-extended.module, copy it to your local directory, rename it, erase what's there and then add your own stuff. See Chapter 5 of the Customization manual for documentation of all this. rh

Hi!
Besides using:
\renewenvironment{lyxgreyedout}
{\textcolor{blue}\bgroup}{\egroup}
as suggested by Ignacio G., I would like to use also:
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{lightgray}{gray}{0.3}
\definecolor{lightblue}{blue}{0.7}
But it fails. I get for example "LaTeX Error(s): Undefined color model
`blue'."

I have seen several color-related bugs/wishes[1] and I feel "covered",
that is I am not going to file another ticket. I wish, as many others,
to have at some point an easy way to play around with custom colors (not
only the standard colors) for the text, for the notes, for the
links/urls, for footnotes, etc.
Kind regards, Nikos

Breaking URLs works with the preamble command: \usepackage{breakurl}
I think I know the reason:
"The breakurl is an extension to hyperref package that allows line-breakable
\url-like links when compiling via latex + dvips + ps2pdf
.. if the dvips driver is being used, the original \url doesn't allow line
breaks in the middle of the created link: the link comes in one atomic
piece. This package allows such line breaks in the generated links.
Note that this package is intended only for those using the dvips driver.
Users of the pdflatex driver already have this feature."
(Quote from the ReadMe File of breakurl)
But it is still strange for me, as I thought I'm using pdflatex. But frankly
I never understood the converter dialog quite well.

Re: Breaking long URL?
Hi Peter,
happy to have been of help. But sorry: I can't remember where I found the
breakurl package. I spent part of last summer learning the basics of LaTeX
and how to customize LyX texts so that they could suit my needs and really I
can't remember all the stuff I have checked when I encountered some problem
and found a solution. By the way, I think this is a common problem with
laTeX. There are so many packages and the environment grows in such an
anarchic way, a positive anarchic way which is the result of the cooperation
of several unconnected people, that it is difficult to know all what you
need and when you need it. That's why the email list is very very useful
because it saves you a lot of time.

Re: Building LyX layout for Copernicus Journals, class definition and estimate of time span?
Good email to the Copernicus people! But I have some news as well: - reinstalled all lyx stuff I ever had and put your layout and template in the proper directories, before my first start up; your "save .layout in .template folder" trick did not work :) - Now I can create PDF from the template! So, my installation must have been corrupted! - But I was really bothered by the babel-thing. So I switched it off (Tools>Preferences>Language Settings ; unmark babel), while making sure that the default language English is used. Now I could add the a .bib file and build my PDF's. Now there's is one more thing: the journal editors want the authors to use British English. This implies that you use the English(UK) babel package for the spell check. So, stating this language as the default language and switching off the babel package again causes the infinite loop! Conclusion: definitely 100% sure that the maintainers of the copernicus package should make it compatible with the babel package! Does this work for you as well?
