generate list of changes by track changes

Hi all,
I have been using the change tracking feature and it is great.
However, I am trying to get a complete list of changes at the end of
the document, something like

blah blah is added on page 123
blah blah is removed on page 234
etc...etc


The only way I could think of is to create a new crossref at those
changes, and cross referencing it at the changelog, preserving the
page number at the PDF output.   Is there any simple way to achieve
this changelog feature?  Thanks.

Abe

The solution to your problem depends on the pagestyle you use.
You can set the pagestyle to empty before the place where you insert the 
TOC by typing \pagestyle{empty} in an ERT box and reset it to whatever 
it was by \pagestyle{your_style} right after the TOC.
If you haven't explicitly specified a pagestyle, replace your_style with 
plain, otherwise use your pagestyle. If you want the numbering to be 
started at one after your TOC, add \setcounter{page}{1} in ERT.


I hope this helps,

problems with URL in bibliography: urldate, font

2009-04-14 Thread Berthold Metz (PH-Freiburg)


hi,

i have the following problem with URLs in my bibliography.

in the bibtex-file i have this syntax:

M\unchen},

year = {o.J.},
title = {{V}ergleichsarbeiten / {P}r\ufungen},

urldate = {05.03.2008}
}
/code

in the bibliography-output i get this:

Staatsinstitut für Schulqualität und Bildungsforschung, München (o.J.). 
Vergleichsarbeiten

/ Prüfungen.
URL \url{http://www.isb.bayern.de/isb/index.aspx?MNav=0QNav=11TNav=
0INav=0}
/code

now i would like to display the urldate (with some text like last 
checked or something); moreover the font in which the last line appears 
(from URL ...) is a big, ugly typewriter-font.


i would be glad about any advice, thank you in advance!

Then you should write a new layout file, and probably we should phase the

For the text, you can simply use the \text command, lyx recognizes it. 
Another possibility is the mbox (see section 9).

 The listings package has such an option. (Read its documentation.)

Thank you. I now scanned through the entire The Listings Package 
documentation. This appears to work for me. The default is to use the

So I have:

\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{
columns=fixed
}

(I am not sure what the default is for columns, and didn't test others.)

But now document (the final PDF) has:
11Command invalid in math modeCommand invalid in math mode

Doesn't say what command. And nothing about this in my my latex logging.

I can reproduce this when I have two listlisting blocks that define a 
custom basicstyle. So my workaround is to simply change one of them to:

\begin{lstlisting}{basicstyle=\footnotesize}
to:
\begin{lstlisting}

But I need to reduce the size so a line doesn't wrap. Unless I can figure 
out how to increase the margin or get the text to not wrap.

Any thoughts on how to turn off any math mode or other?

Thanks again for pointing me to use listings package. Now the font looks 
correct and is still spaced accordingly.

still: minitoc package and index in TOC

2009-04-14 Thread Hubert Christiaen

After several experiments I still cannot get a correct reference of the index 
in the TOC. I have a book-class document and 'idxtotoc' in the 'custom' 
options field. At the end there should be 2 appendices, the second being the 
index.
- I can get a correct reference at the SECTION level with 
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{index}
- I cannot get a correct reference at the CHAPTER level.
The above instruction should not be used with the minitoc package as it 
creates havoc in the sequence of the minitocs. This is here not a problem as 
there is no minitoc for the appendices nor after the index. This gives a 
correct line in the index, with a correct pagenumber, but the link points to 
the beginning of the first appendix (the last \chapter met). If I add some 
\chapter instruction, then a page with only 'Chapter: Index' is created and 
the real index starts on the next page.

Anyone a solution?

With thanks in advance,
Hubert

LyX does not show error output of helper apps (except in the cosole) nor
does it check the return value. 

IMO, this is not only strange but a bug.

If you open lyx from a console/DOS-prompt/xterm window and have a look at

VERY fustrating problem with the LyX and Child documents!

I have a problem using child documents in a LyX document. When I compile from
the child documents the PDF is not always updated.

I have tried installing the latest version of LyX: LyX 1.6.2 released. (Mar 15,
2009) but I still get the same error. Here is what I do:

1) Open the master document
2) Compile the master document using:
master-buffer-update pdf2
3) Preview the master document using (which opens a preview PDF in Sumatra PDF):
buffer-view pdf2
4) Open a child document, add some text and from the child document run the
compile command:
master-buffer-update pdf2

After 4) I don't see the new text in the PDF previewer (sumatra PDF). I have
tried going back to the master document and run:

master-buffer-update pdf2

but the pdf preview is still not updated.

Sometimes (ONLY sometimes) the changes in the child document appears if I
create a new line in the master document and then compile it (the new line must
be inserted at a new position each time). Otherwise I have to close and reopen
LyX and then compile again to see the changes.

I have written many projects (60-80 pages typically) before using many child
documents using the above procedure without any problems. This error is
especially frustrating since it only appears sometimes and only sometimes can
be solved inserting a new line in the master document.

Any ideas why LyX suddenly stops working with child documents?

I use LyX on Vista64

You're welcome to work on this if you like, of course. LyX used to have 
various frontends, so there's still enough separation that this kind of 
thing would be possible.


That said, collaboration doesn't exactly require a web-based version, 
and other people have been working on making LyX more usable for 
collaboration in other ways. So you might want to check into that.

Re: VERY fustrating problem with the LyX and Child documents!

Having located the area where the error occurs I have found two ways of solving
the problem. In the LyX master file the content comes in the following order:

1) - a (possibly corrupted) .tiff image inserted in a figure.
2) - page break
3) - section
4) - Input: child.lyx
...

If I either choose to remove the image 1) OR remove the following pagebreak 2),
the child document gets updated correctly. It would make sense if it only
helped to remove the image but actually it also solves the problem to remove
the pagebreak.

I had a LyX crash where I got the following info:

convert:

Re: lyx and windows




Is lyx for windows a self contained program or do i need to install
latex and other apps separately?


Install LyX using the complete version of the AltInstaller and you get everything installed you need 
at once. (Assure that you have an open Internet connection before starting the installation if 
possible.)

Latex export

2009-04-14 Thread Anders Host-Madsen

General request: LyX should have the option of exporting just the latex code,
without trying to convert pictures. Now if a picture already exists,
it just gives the option of 'overwrite', 'overwrite all' or 'cancel', 
but no option to skip the export of that particular image.

Specific problem: I have included a pdf file through pdfpages in a
LyX file. But now, when I try to export to pdflatex, it insists on
overwriting the pdf file with...? Well, It doesn't make sense to me.
It seems like it wants to overwrite the file with itself. I tried,
and it appears that
it overwrites the file with an identical copy of itself. Only the
'created date' changes. Again, it doesn't really make sense to
me. That doesn't happen with pdfs included as graphics.

1.6.2 install problems.

2009-04-14 Thread Max Bian

I installed 1.6.2 on Windows Vista on top of my existing 1.6.0 version. 
Now it won't start. It trys to find the UI definition file in the wrong 
place but it cannot find it. There is no directory LyX 1.6.1!!


I tried both the official installer and the Alt installer, both are 
giving me same errors like below.


Any idea??

Thanks.

generate list of changes by track changes

Hi all,
I have been using the change tracking feature and it is great.
However, I am trying to get a complete list of changes at the end of
the document, something like

blah blah is added on page 123
blah blah is removed on page 234
etc...etc


The only way I could think of is to create a new crossref at those
changes, and cross referencing it at the changelog, preserving the
page number at the PDF output.   Is there any simple way to achieve
this changelog feature?  Thanks.

The solution to your problem depends on the pagestyle you use.
You can set the pagestyle to empty before the place where you insert the 
TOC by typing \pagestyle{empty} in an ERT box and reset it to whatever 
it was by \pagestyle{your_style} right after the TOC.
If you haven't explicitly specified a pagestyle, replace your_style with 
plain, otherwise use your pagestyle. If you want the numbering to be 
started at one after your TOC, add \setcounter{page}{1} in ERT.


I hope this helps,

problems with URL in bibliography: urldate, font

/ Prüfungen.
URL \url{http://www.isb.bayern.de/isb/index.aspx?MNav=0QNav=11TNav=

Then you should write a new layout file, and probably we should phase the

For the text, you can simply use the \text command, lyx recognizes it. 
Another possibility is the mbox (see section 9).

 The listings package has such an option. (Read its documentation.)

Thank you. I now scanned through the entire The Listings Package 
documentation. This appears to work for me. The default is to use the 
already defined font.

So I have:

\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{
columns=fixed
}

(I am not sure what the default is for columns, and didn't test others.)

But now document (the final PDF) has:
11Command invalid in math modeCommand invalid in math mode

Doesn't say what command. And nothing about this in my my latex logging.

I can reproduce this when I have two listlisting blocks that define a 
custom basicstyle. So my workaround is to simply change one of them to:

\begin{lstlisting}{basicstyle=\footnotesize}
to:
\begin{lstlisting}

But I need to reduce the size so a line doesn't wrap. Unless I can figure 
out how to increase the margin or get the text to not wrap.

Any thoughts on how to turn off any math mode or other?

Thanks again for pointing me to use listings package. Now the font looks 
correct and is still spaced accordingly.

still: minitoc package and index in TOC

2009-04-14 Thread Hubert Christiaen

After several experiments I still cannot get a correct reference of the index 
in the TOC. I have a book-class document and 'idxtotoc' in the 'custom' 
options field. At the end there should be 2 appendices, the second being the 
index.
- I can get a correct reference at the SECTION level with 
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{index}
- I cannot get a correct reference at the CHAPTER level.
The above instruction should not be used with the minitoc package as it 
creates havoc in the sequence of the minitocs. This is here not a problem as 
there is no minitoc for the appendices nor after the index. This gives a 
correct line in the index, with a correct pagenumber, but the link points to 
the beginning of the first appendix (the last \chapter met). If I add some 
\chapter instruction, then a page with only 'Chapter: Index' is created and 
the real index starts on the next page.

Anyone a solution?

With thanks in advance,
Hubert

LyX does not show error output of helper apps (except in the cosole) nor
does it check the return value. 

IMO, this is not only strange but a bug.

If you open lyx from a console/DOS-prompt/xterm window and have a look at

You're welcome to work on this if you like, of course. LyX used to have 
various frontends, so there's still enough separation that this kind of 
thing would be possible.


That said, collaboration doesn't exactly require a web-based version,

If I either choose to remove the image 1) OR remove the following pagebreak 2), 
the child document gets updated correctly. It would make sense if it only

Install LyX using the complete version of the AltInstaller and you get everything installed you need 
at once. (Assure that you have an open Internet connection before starting the installation if 
possible.)

Latex export

2009-04-14 Thread Anders Host-Madsen

General request: LyX should have the option of exporting just the latex code,
without trying to convert pictures. Now if a picture already exists,
it just gives the option of 'overwrite', 'overwrite all' or 'cancel', 
but no option to skip the export of that particular image.

Specific problem: I have included a pdf file through pdfpages in a
LyX file. But now, when I try to export to pdflatex, it insists on
overwriting the pdf file with...? Well, It doesn't make sense to me.
It seems like it wants to overwrite the file with itself. I tried,
and it appears that
it overwrites the file with an identical copy of itself. Only the
'created date' changes. Again, it doesn't really make sense to
me. That doesn't happen with pdfs included as graphics.

1.6.2 install problems.

2009-04-14 Thread Max Bian

I installed 1.6.2 on Windows Vista on top of my existing 1.6.0 version. 
Now it won't start. It trys to find the UI definition file in the wrong 
place but it cannot find it. There is no directory LyX 1.6.1!!


I tried both the official installer and the Alt installer, both are 
giving me same errors like below.


Any idea??

Thanks.

generate list of changes by "track changes"

Hi all,
I have been using the change tracking feature and it is great.
However, I am trying to get a complete list of changes at the end of
the document, something like

"blah blah" is added on page 123
"blah blah" is removed on page 234
etc...etc


The only way I could think of is to create a new crossref at those
changes, and cross referencing it at the changelog, preserving the
page number at the PDF output.   Is there any simple way to achieve
this changelog feature?  Thanks.

Abe

The package "changes" provides such a feature. I think it is possible to 
rewrite LyX's \lyxchangeadded and \lyxchangedeleted to wrap the changes 
package.
(In LyX 1.6.0, one could even write a module for that).

The solution to your problem depends on the pagestyle you use.
You can set the pagestyle to empty before the place where you insert the 
TOC by typing \pagestyle{empty} in an ERT box and reset it to whatever 
it was by \pagestyle{your_style} right after the TOC.
If you haven't explicitly specified a pagestyle, replace your_style with 
plain, otherwise use your pagestyle. If you want the numbering to be 
started at one after your TOC, add \setcounter{page}{1} in ERT.


I hope this helps,

problems with URL in bibliography: urldate, font

2009-04-14 Thread Berthold Metz (PH-Freiburg)


hi,

i have the following problem with URLs in my bibliography.

in the bibtex-file i have this syntax:

@misc{ISB,
author = {Staatsinstitut f\"ur Schulqualit\"at und Bildungsforschung, 
M\"unchen},

year = {o.J.},
title = {{V}ergleichsarbeiten / {P}r\"ufungen},
url = 
{\url{http://www.isb.bayern.de/isb/index.aspx?MNav=0=11=0=0}},

urldate = {05.03.2008}
}


in the bibliography-output i get this:

Staatsinstitut für Schulqualität und Bildungsforschung, München (o.J.). 
Vergleichsarbeiten

/ Prüfungen.
URL \url{http://www.isb.bayern.de/isb/index.aspx?MNav=0=11=
0=0}


now i would like to display the urldate (with some text like "last 
checked" or something); moreover the font in which the last line appears 
(from "URL ...") is a big, ugly typewriter-font.


i would be glad about any advice, thank you in advance!

You can directly use Umlauts in your BibTeX files.

  howpublished = {Internet:

(accessed 2009-02-24)}
}

You can see that you can omit the command \url{}. When you are using hyperref (menu 
Document->Settings -> PDF properties) URLs will automatically be linked in the PDF output.

I was trying to use "changes" with "\listofchanges", I could only
produce something like:

Autor: Anonym
   Eingefügt: 1
   Gelöscht: 0
   Ersetzt:   1

which I suppose it means the number of "\replaced" and "\added".
However, I cannot manage to get it print out the entire list of
changes like:

 "blah blah" is added on page 123
"blah blah" is removed on page 234
etc...etc

Unfortunately the doc doesn't have any example on how the
"\listofchanges" should look like.  Any hint?

Then you should write a new layout file, and probably we should phase the
old ones out. But as the journals will look the same as before, I think you
can save yourself a lot of time by starting from these existing layouts.

therefore I have written layouts requested by users. I don't have much time at the moment, when it

For the text, you can simply use the \text command, lyx recognizes it. 
Another possibility is the mbox (see section 9).

Export to LaTeX and try compiling manually. Then you should get useful

Thank you. I now scanned through the entire "The Listings Package" 
documentation. This appears to work for me. The default is to use the 
already defined font.

So I have:

\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{
columns=fixed
}

(I am not sure what the default is for columns, and didn't test others.)

But now document (the final PDF) has:
11Command invalid in math modeCommand invalid in math mode

Doesn't say what command. And nothing about this in my my latex logging.

I can reproduce this when I have two listlisting blocks that define a 
custom basicstyle. So my workaround is to simply change one of them to:

\begin{lstlisting}{basicstyle=\footnotesize}
to:
\begin{lstlisting}

But I need to reduce the size so a line doesn't wrap. Unless I can figure 
out how to increase the margin or get the text to not wrap.

Any thoughts on how to turn off any math mode or other?

Thanks again for pointing me to use listings package. Now the font looks 
correct and is still spaced accordingly.

still: minitoc package and index in TOC

2009-04-14 Thread Hubert Christiaen

After several experiments I still cannot get a correct reference of the index 
in the TOC. I have a book-class document and 'idxtotoc' in the 'custom' 
options field. At the end there should be 2 appendices, the second being the 
index.
- I can get a correct reference at the SECTION level with 
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{index}
- I cannot get a correct reference at the CHAPTER level.
The above instruction should not be used with the minitoc package as it 
creates havoc in the sequence of the minitocs. This is here not a problem as 
there is no minitoc for the appendices nor after the index. This gives a 
correct line in the index, with a correct pagenumber, but the link points to 
the beginning of the first appendix (the last \chapter met). If I add some 
\chapter instruction, then a page with only 'Chapter: Index' is created and 
the real index starts on the next page.

Anyone a solution?

With thanks in advance,
Hubert

LyX does not show error output of helper apps (except in the cosole) nor
does it check the return value. 

IMO, this is not only strange but a bug.

If you open lyx from a console/DOS-prompt/xterm window and have a look at
the output there, you might find a reason.

After 4) I don't see the new text in the PDF previewer (sumatra PDF). I have

but the pdf preview is still not updated.
