back to LyX1.5.6, and debug

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Dear list

sorry for a lengthy letter, I have marked the important parts with ##:

after having spent in vain days to export my document to a pdf file using 
1.6.2 I would like to use 1.5.6 (1.5.5 gave no problems, but does not take 
## the 1.5.X lyx-export of 1.6.X). I remember there is a way to install it in 
addition to 1.6.X, but forgot how to do this.

I am using 1.6.3svn (and 1.6.1 /2 before) and Debian Lenny, koma script book 
and Jabref for creating the bib-files and inserting the references. 

I have several times described the problems 
(pdfendlink ended up in different nesting level than \pd) 
and got various proposals, but haven't managed to get it done. 

There was one proposal to use a more recent ghostscript (I had 8.62), but by 
upgrading Debian Lenny (which does not offer 8.64) to Squeeze I got troubles 
and reinstalled Lenny. 
##Question: is anybody using LyX1.6.X successfully under Debian using gs8.62?

I still do not know why I can't get the pdf output. As a result of all my 
trials I assumed that it has to do with some of the references, but it might 
perhaps be a more basic problem.
##Question: Where are the background files to be found and is it possible that 
the storage space is not sufficient? 

I had as a last trial used a master and 20 child inputs (for each chapter one) 
and I noticed that after removing some offending references they were all 
working separately, but not if run from the master. 

I then started to add one after the other to the master and ran only this one 
file. It worked until I added chapter 12 (that was about 300 pages, and 220 
figures, and about 600 references). Some references gave errors, and if I 
removed them, I got new errors of references which were alright before -even 
at places in earlier chapters. I then used chapter 12 as a starter and added 
the next chapters (altogether again about 300 pages and 160 figures) and got 
it to work. But when I fused the two large parts I got again reference 
errors, and now at the begin of the large document where there used to be no 
problems before. 

All this took a lot of time, because if I found the reference and removed it, 
the error would still be there (probably because the old aux file is used) 
and I had to finish LyX and restart it again. 
As a question to the LyX developers: Could one include a way to kill the aux 
file after a LyX run?

I was asked to give a minimal example, but I am afraid there is no way of 
doing it. It has probably to do with the large document, since I had never 
problems with smaller books (around 200 to 300 pages each, 200 to 300 
references, 100 to 200 figures). 

##Question: Is there a way to check the (in my case 1500) citations in the bib 
file for uncorrect (coding?) characters independent of LyX?

## I have not been able to figure out how the debug works.
 The description in the extended help file was not precise enough for me. 
Could somebody give me a detailed description? If I use, as proposed, 
lyx -dbg all (or font or any) nothing happens. ddd/gdb debugger: are those 
two debuggers or do they work together? It says, one should start at the 
place in question (an aktueller Position) in program command shift+⁺v and add 
editpreferenceshelpers echo... send it to the lyx pipe
and so on. I am confused and don't know what to do. 
Once I have understood it I am willing and glad to try to describe it in a way 
that underdeveloped (and over-aged) people like me will know what to do in 
order to debug a LyX session.

Thanks,

Wolfgang

this depends (see below).

The save bet would be to export clean ASCII which LyX/LaTeX/BibTeX always
understand and use LaTeX constructs for non-ASCII characters.

 And Lyx accepts the ISO-8599-1 code?

This depends on the setting of DocumentSettingsLanguageEncoding.

LyX just passes it to LaTeX. But the encoding should match the rest of
the document.

As your *.bib database might be used with different documents, possibly
in different encodings, the save bet is to use ASCII only.

 What does Lyx do if it gets non- ISO-8599-1 coded characters in the aux-file?

In the worst case, it does not produce an output file without any visible
error message.

lyxauto file in tmpdir

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

I am still hunting for the BIG ERROR. 
as a reminder, I can't get the pdf file of a large document.

I have gone in a texteditor through all the references in the bib file, and 
corrected any non-iso-8859-1 character. 

I have started to remove the offending references from the bibfile and collect 
it in another one which is not in the bibfile list of the references. Lyx 
still chokes on it, unless I stop lyx and restart it again. Now I even get in 
one case the same error of a reference which is not in the bibfile and after 
having restarted Lyx. 

It looks like there is some kind of memory, and I found 

lyxauto.Gw6002 in my
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ3322 directory

 I renamed it into lyxauto.lyx and ran it. It shows a part of the first 
chapter of my document and trying to output the pdf it gives many

insets/InsetBibtex.cpp(420): Couldn't find dbook11042008 in

insets/InsetBibtex.cpp(420): Couldn't find dbook11042008 in 
InsetBibtex::getBibFiles()!.

I renamed this file and ran again my document. 

But I am still having difficulties (it chokes literally at all references in 
the last sections of the last chapter I am trying (13 of 20 chapters). 

#So my questions are:
#what is the function of 
#lyxauto.Gw6002 in my
#/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ3322 directory?

#Could there be some size limit for large documents with many references?

Sorry for bothering you, but lyx used to be reliable even for large documents. 
Which reminds me to ask for the best way to run 1.5.6 or 7 parallel to 1.6.3. 
I liked the new features of the 1.6.X, especially the easy way to find 
references and notes in the text, but if it is not functioning properly its 
useless for my document.

Seems like old auxiliary (aux, bbl, ...) files might be to blame. Does
closing the document and reopening help?

You can also have a look at the tmp dir.

 Now I even get in one case the same error of a reference which
 is not in the bibfile and after having restarted Lyx. 

This one is strange. 

If the reference is not in the *.bib file, so how should it be solved?

No.

 Which reminds me to ask for the best way to run 1.5.6 or 7

If you are home-compiling, specify a version-suffix in the ./configure
step, e.g.:

 * Configuration/Automake:

   Ohne debug-symbole, mit suffix (lyx - lyx16)::

 changed Linux from opensuse 11.1 to debian lenny 5.0. I don´t konw if
 maybe a difference)

What desktop are you using? I'm also facing some annoying problems with 
window focus on KDE 4 (KDE 4.2.3 here).

 In addition, with 1.6.2, I have stranges behaviour. 1)
 Sometimes, when I make a change in preferences, when I click in save,
 suddenly view source or outline are open by itself. 2) Sometimes, when I
 have several files open, when I close it by clicking in tag and choose
 close, outline is closed by itself. (icon of outline is far of tag)

Both of these are known bugs.

A method to insert syntax colored matlab code into Lyx

[BcBob]

I have developed another solution to inserting matlab code into Lyx using the
'highlight.m' function from the matlab file exchange. This function creates
latex output for the syntax colored matlab code. I wrote a driver function
matlb2tex.m that takes care of the details. You can insert the latex into an
ERT in your Lyx document.

The matlab code and a sample Lyx document are in the attached zip file.

Using a table as form for LaTeX macro

[Ryan Warner]

I'd like to make a macro that takes multiple parameters.  In LyX it
would be advantageous if I visualize this as a table.  I would grab
the cell contents from this table and pass them as parameters to a
macro call.  This is way beyond what a layout can do, but what about
an external command?

As your *.bib database might be used with different documents, possibly

lyxauto file in tmpdir

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

I am still hunting for the BIG ERROR. 
as a reminder, I can't get the pdf file of a large document.

I have gone in a texteditor through all the references in the bib file, and 
corrected any non-iso-8859-1 character. 

I have started to remove the offending references from the bibfile and collect 
it in another one which is not in the bibfile list of the references. Lyx 
still chokes on it, unless I stop lyx and restart it again. Now I even get in 
one case the same error of a reference which is not in the bibfile and after 
having restarted Lyx. 

It looks like there is some kind of memory, and I found 

lyxauto.Gw6002 in my
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ3322 directory

 I renamed it into lyxauto.lyx and ran it. It shows a part of the first 
chapter of my document and trying to output the pdf it gives many

A method to insert syntax colored matlab code into Lyx

[BcBob]

I have developed another solution to inserting matlab code into Lyx using the
'highlight.m' function from the matlab file exchange. This function creates
latex output for the syntax colored matlab code. I wrote a driver function
matlb2tex.m that takes care of the details. You can insert the latex into an
ERT in your Lyx document.

The matlab code and a sample Lyx document are in the attached zip file.

Using a table as form for LaTeX macro

[Ryan Warner]

I'd like to make a macro that takes multiple parameters.  In LyX it
would be advantageous if I visualize this as a table.  I would grab
the cell contents from this table and pass them as parameters to a
macro call.  This is way beyond what a layout can do, but what about
an external command?

back to LyX1.5.6, and debug

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Dear list

sorry for a lengthy letter, I have marked the important parts with ##:

after having spent in vain days to export my document to a pdf file using 
1.6.2 I would like to use 1.5.6 (1.5.5 gave no problems, but does not take 
## the 1.5.X lyx-export of 1.6.X). I remember there is a way to install it in 
addition to 1.6.X, but forgot how to do this.

I am using 1.6.3svn (and 1.6.1 /2 before) and Debian Lenny, koma script book 
and Jabref for creating the bib-files and inserting the references. 

I have several times described the problems 
(pdfendlink ended up in different nesting level than \pd) 
and got various proposals, but haven't managed to get it done. 

There was one proposal to use a more recent ghostscript (I had 8.62), but by 
upgrading Debian Lenny (which does not offer 8.64) to Squeeze I got troubles 
and reinstalled Lenny. 
##Question: is anybody using LyX1.6.X successfully under Debian using gs8.62?

I still do not know why I can't get the pdf output. As a result of all my 
trials I assumed that it has to do with some of the references, but it might 
perhaps be a more basic problem.
##Question: Where are the background files to be found and is it possible that 
the storage space is not sufficient? >

I had as a last trial used a master and 20 child inputs (for each chapter one) 
and I noticed that after removing some offending references they were all 
working separately, but not if run from the master. 

I then started to add one after the other to the master and ran only this one 
file. It worked until I added chapter 12 (that was about 300 pages, and 220 
figures, and about 600 references). Some references gave errors, and if I 
removed them, I got new errors of references which were alright before -even 
at places in earlier chapters. I then used chapter 12 as a starter and added 
the next chapters (altogether again about 300 pages and 160 figures) and got 
it to work. But when I fused the two large parts I got again reference 
errors, and now at the begin of the large document where there used to be no 
problems before. 

All this took a lot of time, because if I found the reference and removed it, 
the error would still be there (probably because the old aux file is used) 
and I had to finish LyX and restart it again. 
As a question to the LyX developers: Could one include a way to kill the aux 
file after a LyX run?

I was asked to give a minimal example, but I am afraid there is no way of 
doing it. It has probably to do with the large document, since I had never 
problems with smaller books (around 200 to 300 pages each, 200 to 300 
references, 100 to 200 figures). 

##Question: Is there a way to check the (in my case 1500) citations in the bib 
file for uncorrect (coding?) characters independent of LyX?

## I have not been able to figure out how the debug works.
 The description in the extended help file was not precise enough for me. 
Could somebody give me a detailed description? If I use, as proposed, 
lyx -dbg all (or font or any) nothing happens. ddd/gdb debugger: are those 
two debuggers or do they work together? It says, one should start at the 
place in question (an aktueller Position) in program command shift+⁺v and add 
edit>preferences>helpers> echo... send it to the lyx pipe
and so on. I am confused and don't know what to do. 
Once I have understood it I am willing and glad to try to describe it in a way 
that underdeveloped (and over-aged) people like me will know what to do in 
order to debug a LyX session.

Thanks,

Wolfgang

If you open your bib file with a decent text editor (such as Kate) and set 
the encoding to ISO-8599-1, the editor will yield a warning about wrongly 
encoded characters.

If you are sure you have encoded the file properly in utf-8, you can convert 
it to latin-1 via recode as described here:

Client.pm is indeed unmaintained. Feel free to 'adopt' it and submit
updates. While we switched to python in general, there is no reason to
'kill' the perl bindings if they are still useful.

What desktop are you using? I'm also facing some annoying problems with

Both of these are known bugs.

unfortunately this uncover more general bug in our latex generation of
master/child documents. we are not able to distinguish child/master
in validate() so things are added to latexparameters and returned back
to master... i just checked few other parameters from document settings
and it has the same problem (eg use true small caps or background color).

i'm not sure about the solution. maybe to change validate prototype adding
bool in_child. CC-ing devel list.

A method to insert syntax colored matlab code into Lyx

[BcBob]

I have developed another solution to inserting matlab code into Lyx using the
'highlight.m' function from the matlab file exchange. This function creates
latex output for the syntax colored matlab code. I wrote a driver function
matlb2tex.m that takes care of the details. You can insert the latex into an
ERT in your Lyx document.

The matlab code and a sample Lyx document are in the attached zip file.

TOC - Table of Contents - Location

[Marcelo Reis]

Guys, Is there anyone that could teach me how to use the RENEWCOMMAND to 
make the Text: "Table of Contents"  appears in the Center of the screen? 
(Just the Title)

By default it is shown aligned to the Left.

Thanks
Marcelo

I'm in no way an LaTeX expert, but this seems to work:

\renewcommand\contentsname{\center Table of Contents}

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?


I'd say so, yes. Hyperref should only be loaded if either turned on  
in the
master or if a master or a child requests it (e.g., when you use a  
href

hyperlink).

Using a table as form for LaTeX macro

[Ryan Warner]

I'd like to make a macro that takes multiple parameters.  In LyX it
would be advantageous if I visualize this as a table.  I would grab
the cell contents from this table and pass them as parameters to a
macro call.  This is way beyond what a layout can do, but what about
an external command?
