Re: Wrong placement with EPS graphics in pdflatex

2009-04-19 Thread Uwe Stöhr

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?

I was too rash. 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.

Re: bug in hyperlink and footnote?

2009-04-19 Thread Uwe Stöhr

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?

Re: cocoAspell works with Lyx in Tiger, not Leopard

The cocoAspell installer puts cocoAspell.service into

For a multi-user machine under Leopard, that service needs to be

exporting to ODF or DOC

2009-04-19 Thread Marco Beishuizen
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.

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?

2009-04-19 Thread Kosta Welke

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!

It's a dirty hack that would work only if you always want to use xetex instead
of pdflatex. You can go into preferences->converters->Latex(pdflatex) and
change the converter from pdflatex to xetex

how to stop TeX and LaTeX from being typeset with the special logo?

2009-04-19 Thread Richard Talley
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.)

Yes. Install cocoAspell.

http://cocoaspell.leuski.net/

On Leopard, I've had to move the service folder cocoAspell.service
from ~/Library/Services to /Library/Services, but others have
cocoAspell working without doing that. (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.

You'll need to configure LyX to find the cocoAspell dictionaries:

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}

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).

Then copy the stdtoolbars.ui file from the LyX System directory to your LyX 
user directory (new folder "ui"), and add the following lines to the 
"view/update" section:

Item "View PDF (XeTeX)" "buffer-view pdf4"
Item "Update PDF (XeTeX)" "buffer-update pdf4"

This will add two new buttons.

You will be pleased to hear that forthcoming LyX 2.0 comes with (basic) native 
XeTeX support, which handles the basic settings for you. 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.
