tables go out of the page
Hi! Am doing by final year project, we are required to submit erd diagrams and stuff. In lyx when I create tables, some of the go out of the page...please see http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/394046/Narration.pdf how do i make the tables come within the page margin? please help. thanks :) -Sindhu S
How to implement batch convertion on equations style.
I have attached the sample file bellow. I have put many equations in arrays
since I want to get multiline equation with single label and align them to
the left. But it turned out that elements in the array are not in display
style. Finally, I found using aligned AMS environment is what I desired. I
just need to put all of them to the second column to get them align left.
But situation now is that I have so many equations need to perform this
conversion. Could anybody give a suggest on what I shall do to minimize the
workload. Thanks in advance!

I have inputed so many equations like this ( faractions, exponentials are
not in display style, equations aligned to the left, with only one lable):
\begin_inset Formula \begin{equation}
\begin{array}{l}

Problem with lyx 1.6.1
I am using lyx 1.6.1 in debian unstable. Lately I'm getting a LOT of lockups with lyx (every 20 minutes or so) requiring me to kill lyx. Running it from the console show the following error is just flooding the screen: ../../../src/support/lassert.cpp(21): ASSERTION pos >= 0 && pos <= size() VIOLATED IN ../../src/Paragraph.cpp:474 Any ideas what is causing this? thanks
Re: problem with tables and lyx 1.6
Hello Maria, we fixed all critical longtable bugs in the for the next LyX release LyX 1.6.2. This will version will be released so I hope you don't need to use LyX 1.5.x for longtables anymore. regards Uwe

Hi
I also stumbled upon this problem. Here are two workarounds that will at least
get things to compile correctly:
1. After importing add to the latex preamble in lyx (under Document-Setting) the
following :
\theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}
\theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{lem}[thm]{Lemma}
This is an example for theorem and lemma. You will find the right things to add
in the latex file your are importing so its really just cut and paste
2. Insert text with whatever paragraph style you are missing . Doing this once
for every style is enough. For example, go to the first lemma, delete the latex
code and mark it as a lemma in lyx. All lemmas will now compile correctly.
Hope it helps

Any help would be appreciated. What happens if you run epstopdf on the EPS figures outside LyX (in a shell)? /Paul Thanks for the suggestion, Paul. The problem turned out to be the previews (thumbnails) contained in the eps figures. When I saved the figures without the previews, all was copacetic. I'm not sure why the figures (the originals that contained previews) compiled just fine back in September. Perhaps I was using an earlier version of LyX then -- I'm not sure when I updated to 1.5.6 -- and perhaps the versions differed in whether they choke on eps figure previews. Bruce
Re: Where do Modules go again?
Niko Schwarz wrote: Ok, I wrote this module file. It's called nikos thesis.module. I have it. But Lyx won't find it, because I am on another computer now and I don't know how to do this. How do I load modules again? Put the module into your local LyX layout directory, then reconfigure. I don't know how well that code reacts to filenames with spaces in them, so you might want to do: nikos_thesis.module. rh

Re: Question on managing templates and features
Jay Austad wrote: Can LyX provide the functionality that I need? I installed it, but the version control menu is empty. How do I go about setting up LyX to work with SVN? I couldn't find documentation on that. The file you're editing has already be registered with version control. So you have to `svn co' or whatever first, to get the relevant file checked out. Then open it in LyX. Now the VC menu will be populated, and you can check out new versions, check in edits, etc. Pavel Sanda implemented the svn support and is the current expert on VC in LyX. I'm sure he'd be happy to answer questions. Is there a way to do the templating and selection of sections in a reasonable way in LyX? Maybe the master doc is created with a bunch of includes in it that has every include available, and then sections that I don't want can be commented out, and sections I want can be uncommented. LyX has support for templates. Selection of sections could be done in a wide variety of ways. Probably the most high-tech would be to use branches. So maybe you have a handful of these, (de)activating them to turn on or off various things. Of course, you can also just delete what you don't need in a given case. If I have an include in a document, is there any way in LyX to pull that content out of the include and just insert it directly into the master document? Or could something be done using the tab support and opening each section in it's own tab for ease of navigation? No to the former. The latter is pretty much how it works by default. When you open the master, all the children are opened in the background, though not in the GUI, and they then appear on the "View" menu, at which point they can easily be opened in their own tabs. The Outliner will show you the whole master document, too, and if you click on some section in a child, the child will appear in a tab. Can LyX collapse sections within a document if I'm not working on that particular section? Oft requested, but doesn't currently exist UNLESS these sections are in branches, in which case they can be collapsed. So if you really want to collapse, just put each section in a branch. They call all be the same branch. If this is something that is too complex for the user's to learn, it's something that will never happen. So it would need to be laid out and simplified as much as possible, and ideally everything would need to be done through LyX and without requiring the use of extra software apps directly (such as svn commands on the command line) As I said, the only command line stuff necessary will be the initial set-up of the svn-controlled directory. Once that's done, everything else can happen from within LyX. rh

Nice for demonstrations. But I think there will be people who find it cumbersome to insert the "LyX stick" whenever they want to write, so an "easy install" that just copies LyX into a suitable directory would be nice.

I have included a "Sort (&no case)" checkbox adjacent to the "&Sort" checkbox in the insert-reference dialog.

In that case, could someone point me to instructions on how to achieve this? Please send your patch to the developer list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org).
