I did not know that I need to have LaTeX packages installed in my LaTeX distribution. I'm still not sure what that _means_, but I have enough keywords to google on! A LaTeX distribution is the same as a Linux distribution, but instead of programs like a Linux distro it is a compound of packages. I see. Yes. So just open TeXLive and go there to its package manager (and install svjour if it is available there). How it works should be self-explanatory or have a look at its documentation. When svjour is not offered by the package manager, then do what I wrote in my initial mail. Thanks, I think that I can take it from here. Steep learning curves don't frighten me!

LyX has a plain text export. It exports formulas at latex code, so you
get stuff like: This is my formula: \frac{1+x}{1-x}
If the readers are ok with latex formulas, just use that. Note that such
a latex formula can be pasted into LyX again. Highlight it and hit
ctrl+m, and it is Lyx math again!
If not, there are some other options:
* html export can be set up to create formula images.
Many wikis lets you post images.
* Screendump software can capture rendered formulas, from the LyX
window or from a pdf preview. This can then be uploaded to the wiki.
* Create a new export format adapted to the particular wiki. Some work,
but then it can be used with very little effort.
* Upload lyx documents or pdf files to the wiki. LyX documents only
if every participant has LyX, obviously.

conversion of vector images to PDF was: Re: Dimensions of figure wrap float
Hubert Christiaen schrieb: I recently discoverd the tips at the end of the math manual. Ther are several things which are not completely wright according to those instrauctions, but it's hard to change it all now. No problem, my annotations are only tips. Typography is only important when you plan to publish your text as book or so. (As it seems to be a text for students, you can hire a student to do the formatting for you - this is the usual way it work here at my university.) Some figure where made with an vector graphics package, but most where made with a paint program. Does an export from vectorgraphics to PDF really conserve the 'elasticity' of the vector graphics? A PDFimage can be both, pixel and vector format. When you create a PDF from a vector image, the elasticity is preserved. So when you convert from SVG, WMF, EMF, AI, or EPS format to PDF you get a vector image. For example the program Inkscape can convert from SVG to PDF, Acrobat, eps2pdf, or Ghostscript can convert from EPS to PDF, Adobe Illustrator can convert from EPS and AI to PDF, and via the program Metafile2eps (comes with LyX on Windows) in combination with an EPS to PDF converter program you can convert WMF and EMF to PDF. regards Uwe
Printing is weird... funny hash lines
Sorry, I don't know whether this is LyX or LaTeX. When I print out documents generated by LyX, I see weird marks on the paper not seen in the screen copy. They are horizontal, very small, and seem to mark the heights of (some of) the characters on the page. Those capitals which have it are most apparent, but some other lowercase letters have this line as well. Now all the lowercase t's now have cute forward hat visors on them (for lack of a better way to describe it). I've narrowed the problem down to the use of the default font. If I choose Roman or Sans Serif for the font family it goes away. ??? What's messed up? Who should I complain to? This is Debian Sid (behaving appropriately at the moment... ;-) Thanks for any help!

Re: Generating lindex entries
BcBob wrote: I am looking for open source tools to help generating index entries. I know Lyx has an interface to the Latex makeindex utility but I am looking for utilities to generate a list of the words, phrases etc to use in the index. Something as simple as a utility to find all unique words in the index with pointers back to the original location in the file would help a lot. Such a tool could be useful in some cases - and just wrong in some other. For many kinds of book, you do _not_ want to index every place some word is used. Only those places that have important information about the concept. Entries like this is of little use: concept 25, 26, 28, 39, 42, 57 ,66-73, 78, 89-92, 104 Because the reader is not going to look up all that, and many of these places only mentions concept briefly. For most books, something like this is preferred: concept 28, 66, 89 My editor told me never to index the same word more than 3 times. So I had to pick the most important sites. And when a word occur over and over in a multi-page discussion, just index the first page. The reader will then read the entire discussion anyway. Of course there are some kinds of book where you may need to index every occurence - but this is definitiely not a generic way of doing it. Once I had a word to index, I found the search replace dialog useful for finding the word in the text. Helge Hafting

Therefore, while LyX supports bidirectional writing, it does not necessarily do it in the best possible way. Pepole (users as well as developers) that are used to the current implementation and people without need for bidirectional writing will not recognize any problem.

Installing a LaTeX-package is easy when you use the package manager of your LaTeX distribution. Under Linux you should preferabely use the package manager of the Linux distribution. As this is a Kubuntu system, should I assume that I am using TeXLive? Yes. So just open TeXLive and go there to its package manager ... While I have a TeXLive based LaTeX installation on my Debian GNU/Linux system, I cannot open TeXLive and the TeXLive package manager is not part of my installation. Under Debian (and I guess under the Debian-based Kubuntu too), I will have to look for svjour with the Debian package manager (apt, aptitude, synaptic, kpackage) or apt-file. However, `apt-file find svjour` returned only: lyx-common: /usr/share/lyx/layouts/svjour.inc texmacs-common: /usr/share/texmacs/TeXmacs/styles/springer/svjour.ts I was provided with a LaTeX Macro Package, with this content: $ ls LaTeX_macro_package/pub/tex/latex/svjour3/global/ history.txt svglov3.clo template.tex usrguid3.pdf readme.txt svjour3.cls usrguid3.dvi so it comes down to ... ... When svjour is not offered by the package manager, then do what I wrote in my initial mail. Additional question: For latex, it is sufficient to have contributed class and package files (like svjour.cls) in the work direc (pwd). I understand that `lyx --configure` will only consider installed packages and classes, but could tex2lyx be made aware of support files in the pwd? I did try putting the Olga_Lavrenteva.tex file in the same directory as the .cls file, alas it did no good. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ا-ب-ت-ث-ج-ح-خ-د-ذ-ر-ز-س-ش-ص-ض-ط-ظ-ع-غ-ف-ق-ك-ل-م-ن-ه-و-ي А-Б-В-Г-Д-Е-Ё-Ж-З-И-Й-К-Л-М-Н-О-П-Р-С-Т-У-Ф-Х-Ц-Ч-Ш-Щ-Ъ-Ы-Ь-Э-Ю-Я а-б-в-г-д-е-ё-ж-з-и-й-к-л-м-н-о-п-р-с-т-у-ф-х-ц-ч-ш-щ-ъ-ы-ь-э-ю-я ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü

I used some R code and setting the fonts to BeraMono gives a very nice and highlighted code in the output. There is only one *important* problem though: usually the _backticks_ (used in *nix-like OSes to execute a command within, let's say, from another command) appear as to have a top-left to bottom-right direction. With my current setting (Typewriter font set to BeraMono and language set to _bash_) the _backticks_ look very similar to the... well, the _ticks_! I guess it's a font-specific issue. Too bad because Bera looks great. Any other recommendation? Kind regards, Nikos If you use bash, there is another form of commands substitution other than `backticks`. It is $(command) form.

First, backup the LyX file. Then open it in a text editor. Then search

Re: English appearing backwards
For LyX (or LaTeX) it is important to know in what language you are writing. Not only the directionality, but also font encoding (while LyX uses Unicode by now, LaTeX does not) and hyphenation depend on this. I see, I did not realize that LaTeX does not support unicode. I suppose that it never will, from what I've been reading the past few days it looks like there will be no new features added. In any case, my language does not support hyphenation! Maybe that is the reason that I hate reading hyphenated documents in English. No, from the characters, as stated above. Still, a keyboard switch hotkey could also be programmed to send a language changing command to lyx via the lyxserver. I would very much like to know how to do that. ... I will ask on the Israeli Linux list about Lyx and LaTex in Hebrew. I will file the appropriate bugs. Fine. No answers yet! But I will persist. I remember that one Israeli user reported to use an English keyboard setting on the system level together with the hebrew kmap in LyX, so this might be a starting point...

Re: Apostrophe vs. Single quotation mark
Alternatively to what I just wrote (which is still going through the system): There is a distinction between typewriter characters (what you type) and typographical characters (what you see.) On my US keyboard, I have only one key for both opening and closing quotes. Lyx, OpenOffice and Microsoft Office will display an opening quote correctly, but it is the same ASCII character in each case. Apparently there are different Unicode characters, but LateX probably relies on ASCII. If that is so, there is nothing that you can do about it. However it prints, the code should work, anyway. Doug.

Here's a way to do it:
-Put the statement \usepackage{enumerate} in your
document-settings-LaTeX-Preamble (of course without quotation marks)
-At any point you want to start your enumeration do not use enumerate
style, simply add some TeX-Code (Crtl+L): \begin{enumerate}[Step 1].
The statement in squared brackets is a prototype for your enumeration
item, for other options google the docs of the enumerate package.
-In front of every item you want to enumerate, add again some TeX-Code:
\item (the blank character is needed)
-At the end of your customized enumeration, add in TeX-Code:
\end{enumerate}
I don't know if there are simpler ways, but this should work...

I think the easiest way to make it automatically in every transition page is
by adding the following command in the preamble.
The result is very accurate to get a blank but counted in every transitional

You can replace empty to plain if you still want the page number, not
completely blank.

Re: Problems importing Tex file
The Fine Manual. It is a common TLA in many mailing lists. OK, and what is a TLA? Three Letter Acronym! I suppose that _that_ is the detail that was not clear to me. I did not know that I need to have LaTeX packages installed in my LaTeX distribution. I'm still not sure what that _means_, but I have enough keywords to google on! A LaTeX distribution is the same as a Linux distribution, but instead of programs like a Linux distro it is a compound of packages. I see. Yes. So just open TeXLive and go there to its package manager (and install svjour if it is available there). How it works should be self-explanatory or have a look at its documentation. When svjour is not offered by the package manager, then do what I wrote in my initial mail. Thanks, I think that I can take it from here. Steep learning curves don't frighten me!

htlatex exported html footnotes
In Preferences File Handling Converters LaTeX - HTML I've been successfully using htlatex to export html files.

So I found an addition to the parameters that solved that --- the ,fn-in addition solved that. htlatex $$i xhtml,fn-in But now all of the footnotes -- not in dvi's nor pdf's but in html files -- are in italics. And I really don't like it. I failed to find the parameter change or addition to correct this. Does anyone here know the secret? thanks much, jamie faunt

LyX has a plain text export. It exports formulas at latex code, so you
get stuff like: This is my formula: \frac{1+x}{1-x}
If the readers are ok with latex formulas, just use that. Note that such
a latex formula can be pasted into LyX again. Highlight it and hit
ctrl+m, and it is Lyx math again!
If not, there are some other options:
* html export can be set up to create formula images.
Many wikis lets you post images.
* Screendump software can capture rendered formulas, from the LyX
window or from a pdf preview. This can then be uploaded to the wiki.
* Create a new export format adapted to the particular wiki. Some work,
but then it can be used with very little effort.
* Upload lyx documents or pdf files to the wiki. LyX documents only
if every participant has LyX, obviously.

conversion of vector images to PDF was: Re: Dimensions of figure wrap float
Hubert Christiaen schrieb: I recently discoverd the tips at the end of the math manual. Ther are several things which are not completely wright according to those instrauctions, but it's hard to change it all now. No problem, my annotations are only tips. Typography is only important when you plan to publish your text as book or so. (As it seems to be a text for students, you can hire a student to do the formatting for you - this is the usual way it work here at my university.) Some figure where made with an vector graphics package, but most where made with a paint program. Does an export from vectorgraphics to PDF really conserve the 'elasticity' of the vector graphics? A PDFimage can be both, pixel and vector format. When you create a PDF from a vector image, the elasticity is preserved. So when you convert from SVG, WMF, EMF, AI, or EPS format to PDF you get a vector image. For example the program Inkscape can convert from SVG to PDF, Acrobat, eps2pdf, or Ghostscript can convert from EPS to PDF, Adobe Illustrator can convert from EPS and AI to PDF, and via the program Metafile2eps (comes with LyX on Windows) in combination with an EPS to PDF converter program you can convert WMF and EMF to PDF. regards Uwe
Printing is weird... funny hash lines
Sorry, I don't know whether this is LyX or LaTeX. When I print out documents generated by LyX, I see weird marks on the paper not seen in the screen copy. They are horizontal, very small, and seem to mark the heights of (some of) the characters on the page. Those capitals which have it are most apparent, but some other lowercase letters have this line as well. Now all the lowercase t's now have cute forward hat visors on them (for lack of a better way to describe it). I've narrowed the problem down to the use of the default font. If I choose Roman or Sans Serif for the font family it goes away. ??? What's messed up? Who should I complain to? This is Debian Sid (behaving appropriately at the moment... ;-) Thanks for any help!

Re: Generating lindex entries
BcBob wrote: I am looking for open source tools to help generating index entries. I know Lyx has an interface to the Latex makeindex utility but I am looking for utilities to generate a list of the words, phrases etc to use in the index. Something as simple as a utility to find all unique words in the index with pointers back to the original location in the file would help a lot. Such a tool could be useful in some cases - and just wrong in some other. For many kinds of book, you do _not_ want to index every place some word is used. Only those places that have important information about the concept. Entries like this is of little use: concept 25, 26, 28, 39, 42, 57 ,66-73, 78, 89-92, 104 Because the reader is not going to look up all that, and many of these places only mentions concept briefly. For most books, something like this is preferred: concept 28, 66, 89 My editor told me never to index the same word more than 3 times. So I had to pick the most important sites. And when a word occur over and over in a multi-page discussion, just index the first page. The reader will then read the entire discussion anyway. Of course there are some kinds of book where you may need to index every occurence - but this is definitiely not a generic way of doing it. Once I had a word to index, I found the search replace dialog useful for finding the word in the text. Helge Hafting

If I'm going to switch back to unstable Debian, or a stable/non-stable mix, I might as well keep LyX 1.6.1.

Therefore, while LyX supports bidirectional writing, it does not necessarily do it in the best possible way. Pepole (users as well as developers) that are used to the current implementation and people without need for bidirectional writing will not recognize any problem. The way out is interest the developers into the problem. Laying the blame entirely either on yourself or on LyX (any other app does the right thing) might not get you there.
