Re: Wrong placement with EPS graphics in pdflatex
Thomas Steffen schrieb: I noticed recently that I a lot of EPS graphics end up in the wrong place with the pdflatex backend. I guess it has to do with the bounding box, and somehow it is wrongly set during the conversion process. Then the picture ends up in the wrong place, or it is (partially) invisible if clipping is set. I find that very inconvenient. What do you mean with "wrong place"? Images are usually within a flaot that will float in the output to a suitable position. Can you provide a _small_ example file? regards Uwe

The problem is the following: In hyperlinks the "#" character must not be escaped as command "\#". While it must be escaped when the hyperlink is in the footnote. This is not easy to handle and I'm not sure if we can do something about it since the behaviour seem to depend on the hyperref package version. Please open a bug nevertheless. regards Uwe
Re: bug in hyperlink and footnote?
One important not: you example used an address in this form: http://www.bla.blub/#1 This is not conform to the URL specification. There must be at least a character after the "/" and before the "#". Or do you have an example of a valid URL where this is not the case? regards Uwe
Re: TOC too long, can't get middle page to be empty
You may find the following thread useful:

Tal.
My TOC is just over 3 pages now and using \thispagestyle{empty} I can get rid
of numbering on the 1st and 3rd pages (i.e. first and last), but the middle
page's number stays. I can't get rid of it!
I've tried flooding Lyx with \thispagestyle{empty} ERT boxes, but no luck.
Anyone have any ideas? I can't really cut down on the TOC more I'm afraid, 3
pages is the minimum! I apologise if this has been asked to death! Thanks in

Alex

Lyx to html with plastex
Hi All,
I am trying to convert a latex document to html on Windows using Plastex.
The latex document has png and eps images. On running the Plastex command
for conversion, I get the following error. Any ideas what is going on? I
have attached the lyx file and the plain latex file.
Thanks

Re: tables numbered chapter-wise
the ccaption package says, i should do this:
\makeatletter
\...@removefromreset{table}{chapter}
\renewcommand{\thetable}{\arabic{table}}
\makeatother
however, when i put it into the preamble, latex complains that
Undefined control sequence.
\...@removefromreset
{table}{chapter}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

When you don't have the list of algorithm, you don't have this bug? If so, assure that the list is
in the "Standard" environment and check if you perhaps have some of the conflicts with algorithms

exporting to ODF or DOC
Hi, Is there any way of exporting a LyX document to OpenDocument or Word? In LyX you can add the export to your menu but that only seems to change the file extension, and not converting anything. I also saw that there is a script "tex4ht". But how do I install this? I'm running LyX on FreeBSD 7.1-Stable. Thanks in advance. Marco -- I have had my television aerials removed.

Is it in the works? The first item is in the works, as you can see in the user guide: http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/userguide.html What I want to achieve is to be able to segment the HTML page in chapters, parts or sections. Actually I need it for my own documents, so you can rest assured that the tool will eventually get there. Is this what you want? The second point (table of contents) is related. Since eLyXer does the conversion on the fly, keeping minimal state information on memory, it is not possible right now to generate a table of contents: at the top of the document it is not known how many chapters or sections there will be. So a second pass is necessary. At the moment the planned extension is to create a second utility which does both things: segment the page and create a table of contents where needed. I cannot give dates for these developments, since they depend on the usual factors: day job, family, etc. But I would like to have them ready before summer. Until then your best bet is to segment the documents manually. Cheers, Alex.
LyX and XeTeX - how to preview PDF?
Hi! I'm trying to use LyX together with Xetex and thanks to strangers on the internet, it actually works. I updated the wiki under http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/XeTeX so that it might work for other people, too. There's one problem, though: As XeTeX must run through the xelatex, which is a different lyx file format, the preview PDF button does not work anymore (exporting using pdflatex gives an error, as you need to export using xelatex). What is the best/quickest/working way to get the "preview/update PDF" buttons to export using XeTeX instead of pdflatex? (optimally, this would be a document setting). Thanks in advance for your help! Cheers, Kosta

how to stop TeX and LaTeX from being typeset with the special logo?
LyX automagically typesets words like TeX and LaTeX using the special logo for those words. How do I turn this behavior off? There are a couple of places, such as an instruction to navigate to /Applications/TeX, where I want the words to appear more like they actually do in the computer interface. (I do *not* want to type /Applications/Tex as that does not match what is on the screen.) -- Rich

(The move needs to be done at the command line as root.) The default installation is only English language dictionaries. If you need other dictionaries you'll have to download and install them.

It is especially annoying if you copy and paste such text from the PDF. With
xpdf, you will get
I love L X

but dislike this auto LaT X logo.

I remember the User Guide to use some invisible character inside LaTeX to
prevent this.
If it should apply to the whole document, you can als redefine
renewcommand{\LyX}{LyX}
renewcommand{\TeX}{TeX}
renewcommand{\LaTeX}{LaTeX}
in the LaT X preamble.

Copy the buffer-view_pdf2.png and buffer-update_pdf2.png icons to buffer- view_pdf4.png and buffer-update_pdf4.png in your LyX user directory (create a new icons folder, if not already there).

If you click "use XeTeX", the right converter will be chosen, the toolbar and menu entries will be adapted, all the necessary preamble stuff will be inserted and you can even chose a system font from the document dialog.
