Hello,
C:\Program Files\LyX16\bin>kpsewhich scrartcl.cls
C:/Program Files/MiKTeX 2.7/tex/latex/koma-script/scrartcl.cls

I had some UNC issues though, when I start lyx from cmd,
C:\Program Files\LyX16\bin>lyx
LyX: reconfiguring user directory
'\\x.com\x\UserData-LN\hicham.mouline\Application Data\lyx16'
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported.  Defaulting to Windows directory.
configure: TeX engine needs windows-style paths in latex files

I forced lyx to start with -userdir "C:\Documents and
Settings\hicham.mouline"
then that works perfectly.

Thanks very much,

Re: Is SyncTex (going to be) supported in LyX?

[Matts Lindström]

Hello again, I've looked some more into this. I still can't get DVI
reverse search configured under linux. These are the results:

The following works with LyX 1.6.1 on my Mac OS X machine:

echo "LYXCMD:clientid:server-goto-file-row:filenameandpath.lyx 43" > .lyxpipe.in

(moves the cursor, just like it should to row 43 in the open lyx-document)

Under Linux (LyX 1.6.1) it won't. Instead of moving to the correct
line the cursor keeps jumping to the first line. Is this as bug in the
Linux version or am I doing something wrong? I've tried piping other
commands than "server-goto-file-row" and these seem to work without
problems.

AFAIK, no. But it seems to be on okuar's TODO list.

Thesis

[Edwin Davis]

Hello,

 

I am preparing to turn in a thesis and have a couple of formatting issues. I am 
using the report document class and I need to know how to change the font of 
the list of contents heading and list of tables heading as well as change the 
location.  I need the headings to be top left of the page. I also need the 
chapter headings to be top left of the page. Please email back if you know how 
to do this.

 

Thanks

Use the fancyhdr package. You can completely customize the page 
headings, as you wish. See section 3.3 of the "Additional Features" 
manual, and the fancyhdr documentation, which is here:

Makes sense.  LyX does not play well with UNC addresses, so having your 
home directory for LyX on a remote server is tricky.  If you map the 
server directory to a local drive letter, I think you'll be ok.

there has been discussion exactly about this on devel list and some work should
appear in the forthcomming 1.6.3. if you are able to compile lyx for yourself
try to buid the current 1.6 branch and report problems back (directly to 
devlist).

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood you. I thought we were talking about the 
page headings, that repeat on each page. But maybe you meant the heading 
that appears at the beginning of the list of tables, etc. It might be 
possible to use the titletoc package for this, but I'm not sure.


Looking at the report class, it appears that it uses chapter* to typeset 
the names of the various tables. So another option would be to use the 
titlesec package to redefine the formatting of the chapter headings. But 
you would then have to reset it, if you wanted it to be the way it was 
before.

Box(Minipage) Location

[Marcelo Reis]

Dears, Maybe some of you can help me.
I have a Box(Minipage) in my document and I need to place it in the 
corner right bottom of the page, is there anyway to do this?
This Box(Minipage) has no borders, I tried to use VFILL in Lyx to make 
the box goes down but seems that it is not working.
Also in the properties of this Box, in Alignment it is all set to 
Bottom, but the box stills in the Top of the Page,

Any Ideas?

Thanks

hyperref bug with parent/child documents?

[James C. Sutherland]

I think I found a LyX bug.  LyX 1.6.2, Mac OSX 10.5.6

1. Create a parent document and turn off hyperref support (Document- 
>Settings->PDF Properties, deselct hyperref)

2. Create a child document with hyperref support enabled.
3. Include the child in the parent.

At this point, the LaTeX source code for the parent now has hyperref  
included in it.  I thought that parent document settings override  
child document settings.  Is this a bug?


See attached example files.  The .tex files were generated by  
exporting the parent lyx file to LaTeX.

Re: Is SyncTex (going to be) supported in LyX?

Thanks for your reply Pavel,

I've actually managed to get this working now. But I'm still not sure
if there really was a bug or just me doing something wrong. I'll have
a look at the dev-list archives.

Sectioned bibliographies

[Ehud Kaplan]

I am trying to create two bibliographies in one document.  Here is what 
I did, but it failed:


  1. I read the documentation on sectioned bibliographies (an unusual
 step!)
  2. I made two copies of my master *.bib file, with two different names
  3. I checked the "Sectioned bibliography" in the Document/settings
  4. I added to the preamble \usepackage[dot]{bibtopic}
  5. I put a pair of ERT commands: \begin{btUnit} ... end{btUnit}
 around the two main sections of the paper
  6. In each section I have inserted just before the \end{btUnit} a
 bibtex bibliography.

All I get for my pain are ? where references should be.  I should add 
that I am using super option for the natbib style, to get superscript 
references.


What am I doing wrong?  Where should the first \begin{btUnit} be-- before or 
after the Title?

Thanks-
EK

User defined string symbols

[Ian S. Worthington]

If I'm writing a manual for a product tentatively named Boggis v1, but know
that that will change later to something else, is it possible to define some
symbol I can use to represent that in my document so I only have to change it
in one place when it changes?

For further marks, can I define that symbol to have a particular test
styling?

How much?  Enough to get me an A+/4.0?  ;-)

This is not too hard if you're willing to put up with a bit of LaTeX. 
In the document preamble, define a macro via 
\newcommand{\YourMacroName}{...} where ... is what you want printed for 
the product name, including any styling commands.  If you're not sure 
what the LaTeX style commands would be, style the name once in the body 
of the document, using LyX's text style menu, then do View > View Source 
to see the LaTeX code.  Once you've created the macro in the preamble, 
in the document body enter \YourMacroName{} in ERT anyplace you want the 
product name.  If the product name changes, just edit the macro 
definition in the preamble accordingly.


If you're going to be using the macro frequently, you might want to 
modify your bind file (User Guide section C.2.2, Tools > Preferences > 
Editing > Shortcuts) to bind the following to some unused key 
combination: command-sequence ert-insert;self-insert 
\YourMacroName{};char-forward; .


I've attached a small example.

LyX::Client.pm

[john]

Another one for the developers

I have tried the Client.pm with LyX 1.5.6 (on openSUSE 11.0).
It works but not out of the box.

The problem is that Client.pm expects to find the serverpipe assignments
in the file: .lyx/lyxrc
I don't think that Client.pm has been changed since 1999.

LyX now seems to write the serverpipe assignment in the file:
./lyx/preferences and there is no file lyxrc (although there is a
lyxrc.default).

What is the most principled way to proceed?
Every thing works fine if I copy lyxrc.default to lyxrc and edit the
file to include the statement:
\serverpipe "~.lyxpipe"

But should the Client.pm program be altered to read the file: preferences?

I am willing to make the necessary changes and submit them.
