 Hi,

 Background: I use XeTeX to typeset a document in several scripts, including
 Arabic. The Arabic-script sections are not in the Arabic language, but in a
 variety of other languages. Because my document is left-to-right, they get
 displayed on screen in LTR order, which is wrong. I can get them to display
 in RTL by setting their language to Arabic (ArabTeX or Arabi). In both
 cases, LyX displays them right-to-left, but these options are both
 ncompatible with XeTeX because they make other assumptions on how to render
 the text in the final output.

 Ideally, I wouldn't have to mark them as in a different language at all -
 there are no benefits other than the writing direction.  I use logical
 markup and custom styles anyway for these passages, so I'd just like to
 mark all instances of a given style to display RTL in LyX.  Is that
 possible, or is there some workaround?

pdf equivalent of psbook?

[john]

Hi

Does anyone on the list know if there is an equivalent for PDF of psbook?
I use LyX a lot for computer documentation.
For quick references (up to 8 pages), I exportt to PS, then use psbook
piped to psnup.
I would love to use PDF instead.
I've Googled and searched repositories and not found anything (apart
from scripts to convert PDF to and  PS and back.

 Background: [...]

Clarification:  I use XeTeX, which has directionality commands inherited 
from eTeX; there's a package called bidi.sty that wraps them in a nice user 
interface.  To access this, I use a paragraph style for RTL paragraphs, and 
character styles for embedded RTL text (and embedded LTR text in RTL 
paragraphs).  These styles also change the font.

Now LyX obviously doesn't know that whatever is formatted in those styles 
is actually RTL.  So the display order is broken.  I've attached a sample 
file to show what this looks like.  It requires XeTeX, bidi.sty, and some 
fonts - I used Charis SIL and Scheherazade, both freely available from 
http://scripts.sil.org/.

It seems that the generated 46 kB PDF file is too large for an email
attachment to the list. For comparison to how it looks in the final output,
I've uploaded it to http://freepdfhosting.com/15665b4a39.pdf.

Setting the language of the text to Arabic doesn't work; it gets the 
display order right, but then LyX makes assumptions about rendering the 
text using either ArabTeX or arabi.sty, which is obsolete now thanks to 
XeTeX ;).  (It also activates the Arabic spellchecker, which is a nuisance 
because the text is in Arabic script, but not in the Arabic language.)  So 
what I'm looking for is a way to tell LyX that whatever is in a given style 
should be rendered in RTL.  Can this be done?

I reckon this kind of problem will pop up more frequently as soon as LyX
supports XeTeX regularly and more people start using it for their weird
alphabets.

roman numbering enumeration in Lyx

[Lolom]

Hi,

I write a dissertation with the class of document Report of Lyx and I

II,...). Do you know if it's possible ?

And I also would like to enumerate some things in the same line.
Like a)...   b)...
And not a)...
   b)...
Do you have an idea how to do that ?

Thanks a lot for your help,

The number is printed using the \thechapter macro. If you look in 
report.cls, you will find this line:

\renewcommand \thechapter {...@arabic\c@chapter}
So we just need to do:
\renewcommand\thechapter{\roma...@chapter}

I think the paralist package supports this. LyX does not have native

Beamer question: Addional infos for Teacher

The following works fairly well for handouts:

1.  Insert into the preamble (Document  Settings  LaTeX Preamble) the 
command \setbeameroption{show notes}.


2.  Create a branch (Document  Settings  Branches) for the notes, 
using any name you like. Activate the branch when you are creating the 
instructor handout; deactivate it when creating the student handout or 
the actual slide show.


3.  Any place you want a note, do the following:

3a.  Create a standard environment (paragraph), which you may nest under 
an enumerated or itemized list item like any other text.


3b.  In the standard environment, insert the branch (Insert  Branch  
[select your branch]).


3c.  Inside the branch, change the environment to NoteItem and insert 
your note.


More granular control of notes is possible (Beamer user guide, section 
19) but probably requires the insertion of raw LaTeX.

  In case you compiled Qt by yourself and you also have

things that I miss in lyx

[Jose Quesada]

Hi all,

In no special order, things that I miss in lyx...

1. incremental search

2. sentence autocapitalization

3. grammar check (not crucial)

4. search highlight occurences

5. bold, color background on outline. A way for the eyes to fixate landmarks
in long outlines.

6. edit history (go back to last edits). We seem to have only one step back?

7. the rest of the world operates on rich text/html. LyX doesn't (clipboard
integration is poor, copy-pasting from/to web loses formatting)

8. 'pasted from' and url for every paste from the web (onenote uses this and

I'm not sure which rest of the world you have in mind, but I agree that 
LyX's external clipboard handling could be improved. We generally use 
plaintext for this, because no-one has cared enough to change it since 
it was implemented eons ago.

Don't understand this either.

when did stdtoolbars.ui change to stdtoolbars.inc ?

[Richard Talley]

I was looking at this wiki page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UserInterface

where there is this information:

The toolbars are defined in default.ui (up to LyX 1.3.7) or stdtoolbars.ui
(as of LyX 1.4.0).

However, in LyX 1.6.5 the toolbars are defined in stdtoolbars.inc - does
anybody know when this changed? (I'd like to bring some items on this wiki

when did stdtoolbars.ui change to stdtoolbars.inc ?

[Richard Talley]

I was looking at this wiki page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UserInterface

where there is this information:

The toolbars are defined in default.ui (up to LyX 1.3.7) or stdtoolbars.ui
(as of LyX 1.4.0).

However, in LyX 1.6.5 the toolbars are defined in stdtoolbars.inc - does
anybody know when this changed? (I'd like to bring some items on this wiki
page up to date.)

pdf equivalent of psbook?

[john]

Hi

Does anyone on the list know if there is an equivalent for PDF of psbook?
I use LyX a lot for computer documentation.
For quick references (up to 8 pages), I exportt to PS, then use psbook
piped to psnup.
I would love to use PDF instead.
I've Googled and searched repositories and not found anything (apart
from scripts to convert PDF to and  PS and back.

The PDFJam collection of scripts has a pdfnup script:

Clarification:  I use XeTeX, which has directionality commands inherited 
from eTeX; there's a package called bidi.sty that wraps them in a nice user 
interface.  To access this, I use a paragraph style for RTL paragraphs, and 
character styles for embedded RTL text (and embedded LTR text in RTL 
paragraphs).  These styles also change the font.

Now LyX obviously doesn't know that whatever is formatted in those styles 
is actually RTL.  So the display order is broken.  I've attached a sample 
file to show what this looks like.  It requires XeTeX, bidi.sty, and some 
fonts - I used Charis SIL and Scheherazade, both freely available from 
.

It seems that the generated 46 kB PDF file is too large for an email
attachment to the list. For comparison to how it looks in the final output,
I've uploaded it to .

Setting the language of the text to Arabic doesn't work; it gets the 
display order right, but then LyX makes assumptions about rendering the 
text using either ArabTeX or arabi.sty, which is obsolete now thanks to 
XeTeX ;).  (It also activates the Arabic spellchecker, which is a nuisance 
because the text is in Arabic script, but not in the Arabic language.)  So 
what I'm looking for is a way to tell LyX that whatever is in a given style 
should be rendered in RTL.  Can this be done?

I reckon this kind of problem will pop up more frequently as soon as LyX
supports XeTeX regularly and more people start using it for their weird
alphabets.

roman numbering & enumeration in Lyx

[Lolom]

Hi,

I write a dissertation with the class of document "Report" of Lyx and I
encounter some issue :

First, I would like to change the numbering of chapter in roman type (I,
II,...). Do you know if it's possible ?

And I also would like to enumerate some things in the same line.
Like a)...   b)...
And not a)...
   b)...
Do you have an idea how to do that ?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Regards,
Laura

The number is printed using the "\thechapter" macro. If you look in 
report.cls, you will find this line:

\renewcommand \thechapter {...@arabic\c@chapter}
So we just need to do:
\renewcommand\thechapter{\roma...@chapter}
in the preamble.


And I also would like to enumerate some things in the same line.

I think the paralist package supports this. LyX does not have native 
support for it, though, so this will be ERT.

Beamer question: Addional infos for Teacher

[Uwe Ade]

Hello

im looking for a solution to make two different types of presentations  with 
beamer from one Source-document:

The first one is a normal Handout for the students.

The second one is a special handout for the teacher. The second one has 
additional informations for the teacher (examples, discussion points, facts 
that are necessary for teaching.

Is it possible to make this kind of Documents with latex beamer? Who does it 
works!

Thanks for every idea.

The following works fairly well for handouts:

1.  Insert into the preamble (Document > Settings > LaTeX Preamble) the 
command \setbeameroption{show notes}.


2.  Create a branch (Document > Settings > Branches) for the notes, 
using any name you like. Activate the branch when you are creating the 
instructor handout; deactivate it when creating the student handout or 
the actual slide show.


3.  Any place you want a note, do the following:

3a.  Create a standard environment (paragraph), which you may nest under 
an enumerated or itemized list item like any other text.


3b.  In the standard environment, insert the branch (Insert > Branch > 
[select your branch]).


3c.  Inside the branch, change the environment to NoteItem and insert 
your note.


More granular control of notes is possible (Beamer user guide, section 
19) but probably requires the insertion of raw LaTeX.

  Thanks Enrico. This solved the problem.
  I gave a look to output of the configure and I noticed
 that also it find for

  without finding it.
  It will be necessary to also make a link to that file?

things that I miss in lyx

Hi all,

In no special order, things that I miss in lyx...

1. incremental search

2. sentence autocapitalization

3. grammar check (not crucial)

4. search highlight occurences

5. bold, color background on outline. A way for the eyes to fixate landmarks
in long outlines.

6. edit history (go back to last edits). We seem to have only one step back?

7. the rest of the world operates on rich text/html. LyX doesn't (clipboard
integration is poor, copy-pasting from/to web loses formatting)

8. 'pasted from' and url for every paste from the web (onenote uses this and
