Using pdfsync with LyX

[Ami]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to have the pdf opened (by Acrobat Reader) in the exact
page in which my cursor currently resides in the LyX editor.

When using LaTeX directly, this is enabled by using the pdfsync package.
Does LyX support this? That is, can I have LyX convert the location of my cursor
to a .tex file line, and then use the information provided by pdfsync?

Thanks a lot,
Ami

Footnote location

[Sandro Portmann]

Hi,

I'm writing a longer work for my history studies, but the footnotes come right 
after the text. How can I manage, that between the main text and the footnote 
comes a space from about 1cm? I'm writing my document in article style.

Thanks,

Sandro

There is a way using Sumatra as shown here:

Hi Julio,

Thanks for your reply.

I've seen this page on the LyX wiki, but as it says,
their solution works only for Sumatra, while I would like
to have it working with Acrobat.

Anyhow, my OS is Win XP.

Are you using SumatraPDF on Linux?  I thought it ran only on Windows.

RE: how does one quit certain environments?

[kalf va men foeten]

Here is a minimal example. So, i did something wrong, but I can't find what 
exactly. I changed the remark-environment in the preamble, because the original 
text is written in dutch, maybe this is the problem? (if you remove the theorem 
in the example and compile, you will see that the layout of the remark changes).

many thanks

 Can you provide a _small_ LyX example file to have a closer look?

From a fast Google search it seems you have to stick with Sumatra. I
have been using it as my default reader for LyX's output and I really

Problem with label and references

[Yago]

Hello to all.

I am writing a book (two sides) on astronomy and navigation with a lot of 
figures, tables and equations. I don't have any problem to reference in the 
text to the apropiate labels of figures, tables, equations and chapters, but 
when I put a label in a section title I have this two errors in the errors 
window and obviuosly LyX don't produce the dvi output:

Error 1:
Argument of \...@straight@i has an extra }.

\section{Leyes de la fuerza magnética}
 
I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

Error 2:
Paragrapgh ended before \...@straight@i was complete.

\section{Leyes de la fuerza magnética}
 
I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.

My book begins in the Chapter LXII because is the third of a collection and the 
sections, figures, tables and equations are numerated acorddly. So, in my 
preamble I have this first command:

\setcounter{chapter}{61}

In addition, I need to enumerate the sections in the form 6601, 6602, 
66036701, 6702,etc.. I do that with the sentence:

Generating colored tables for a LyX document

[Kosta Welke]

Hello,

I need to include a lot of auto-generated tables into a LyX document. What is 
the best way of getting my tables into LyX?

It seems the easiest way would be to simply generate one .lyx file per table 
and include that in the actual LyX document at the right place. However, I 
would really like to color my rows and columns differently and it seems that 
everything I try in LyX/LaTeX looks awful (the lines between the cells seem to 
change width depending on whether a cell is colored or not, etc.). I based my 
experiments on this:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Tables#toc7
 
I had the idea of generating HTML tables and creating PDFs to include in my LyX 
document, but that fails on the fact that all html-pdf converters that I could 
find only generate full-page PDFs, whereas I need something cropped to the 
table size.

What would you propose to generate nice tables for my LyX document?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Kosta

Sec. 4.6 of the Advanced Features help manual covers a wide range of 
possibilities.

However, LyX only supports reverse search. That is: you click in the PDF and 
then LyX will set the cursor to that place. What Ami wants is forward search 
(putting the cursor in LyX shall cause the PDF viewer to jump to the 
respective place). This is not yet implemented in LyX.

Thank you for the comment Kornel.
In SUSE, I have tex.pro in the same path, except that your texmf-texlive is
replaced by texmf.
I have no directory texmf-texlive, though texlive has set up many other
directories and files.
I don't know whether this is significant or just a Ubunto naming feature.

If the ERT didn't work, a character style won't either. The only way to do my

I am looking for a way to have the pdf opened (by Acrobat Reader) in the exact
page in which my cursor currently resides in the LyX editor.

When using LaTeX directly, this is enabled by using the pdfsync package.
Does LyX support this? That is, can I have LyX convert the location of my cursor
to a .tex file line, and then use the information provided by pdfsync?

Thanks a lot,
Ami

Footnote location

[Sandro Portmann]

Hi,

I'm writing a longer work for my history studies, but the footnotes come right 
after the text. How can I manage, that between the main text and the footnote 
comes a space from about 1cm? I'm writing my document in article style.

Thanks,

Sandro

Hi Julio,

Thanks for your reply.

I've seen this page on the LyX wiki, but as it says,
their solution works only for Sumatra, while I would like
to have it working with Acrobat.

Anyhow, my OS is Win XP.

Are you using SumatraPDF on Linux?  I thought it ran only on Windows.

RE: how does one quit certain environments?

[kalf va men foeten]

Here is a minimal example. So, i did something wrong, but I can't find what 
exactly. I changed the remark-environment in the preamble, because the original 
text is written in dutch, maybe this is the problem? (if you remove the theorem 
in the example and compile, you will see that the layout of the remark changes).

many thanks

From a fast Google search it seems you have to stick with Sumatra. I

Problem with label and references

[Yago]

Hello to all.

I am writing a book (two sides) on astronomy and navigation with a lot of 
figures, tables and equations. I don't have any problem to reference in the 
text to the apropiate labels of figures, tables, equations and chapters, but 
when I put a label in a section title I have this two errors in the errors 
window and obviuosly LyX don't produce the dvi output:

Error 1:
Argument of \...@straight@i has an extra }.

\section{Leyes de la fuerza magnética}
 
I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

Error 2:
Paragrapgh ended before \...@straight@i was complete.

\section{Leyes de la fuerza magnética}
 
I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.

My book begins in the Chapter LXII because is the third of a collection and the 
sections, figures, tables and equations are numerated acorddly. So, in my 
preamble I have this first command:

\setcounter{chapter}{61}

In addition, I need to enumerate the sections in the form 6601, 6602, 
66036701, 6702,etc.. I do that with the sentence:

Generating colored tables for a LyX document

[Kosta Welke]

Hello,

I need to include a lot of auto-generated tables into a LyX document. What is 
the best way of getting my tables into LyX?

It seems the easiest way would be to simply generate one .lyx file per table 
and include that in the actual LyX document at the right place. However, I 
would really like to color my rows and columns differently and it seems that 
everything I try in LyX/LaTeX looks awful (the lines between the cells seem to 
change width depending on whether a cell is colored or not, etc.). I based my 
experiments on this:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Tables#toc7
 
I had the idea of generating HTML tables and creating PDFs to include in my LyX 
document, but that fails on the fact that all html-pdf converters that I could 
find only generate full-page PDFs, whereas I need something cropped to the 
table size.

What would you propose to generate nice tables for my LyX document?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Kosta

Sec. 4.6 of the Advanced Features help manual covers a wide range of 
possibilities.

However, LyX only supports reverse search. That is: you click in the PDF and 
then LyX will set the cursor to that place. What Ami wants is forward search 
(putting the cursor in LyX shall cause the PDF viewer to jump to the 
respective place). This is not yet implemented in LyX.

Thank you for the comment Kornel.
In SUSE, I have tex.pro in the same path, except that your texmf-texlive is
replaced by texmf.
I have no directory texmf-texlive, though texlive has set up many other
directories and files.
I don't know whether this is significant or just a Ubunto naming feature.

If the ERT didn't work, a character style won't either. The only way to do my

I am looking for a way to have the pdf opened (by Acrobat Reader) in the exact
page in which my cursor currently resides in the LyX editor.

When using LaTeX directly, this is enabled by using the pdfsync package.
Does LyX support this? That is, can I have LyX convert the location of my cursor
to a .tex file line, and then use the information provided by pdfsync?

Thanks a lot,
Ami

Footnote location

[Sandro Portmann]

Hi,

I'm writing a longer work for my history studies, but the footnotes come right 
after the text. How can I manage, that between the main text and the footnote 
comes a space from about 1cm? I'm writing my document in article style.

Thanks,

Sandro

Hi Julio,

Thanks for your reply.

I've seen this page on the LyX wiki, but as it says,
their solution works only for Sumatra, while I would like
to have it working with Acrobat.

Anyhow, my OS is Win XP.

Are you using SumatraPDF on Linux?  I thought it ran only on Windows.

RE: how does one quit certain environments?

[kalf va men foeten]

Here is a minimal example. So, i did something wrong, but I can't find what 
exactly. I changed the remark-environment in the preamble, because the original 
text is written in dutch, maybe this is the problem? (if you remove the theorem 
in the example and compile, you will see that the layout of the remark changes).

many thanks

Problem with label and references

[Yago]

Hello to all.

I am writing a book (two sides) on astronomy and navigation with a lot of 
figures, tables and equations. I don't have any problem to reference in the 
text to the apropiate labels of figures, tables, equations and chapters, but 
when I put a label in a section title I have this two errors in the errors 
window and obviuosly LyX don't produce the dvi output:

Error 1:
Argument of \...@straight@i has an extra }.

\section{Leyes de la fuerza magnética}
 
I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

Error 2:
Paragrapgh ended before \...@straight@i was complete.

\section{Leyes de la fuerza magnética}
 
I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.

My book begins in the Chapter LXII because is the third of a collection and the 
sections, figures, tables and equations are numerated acorddly. So, in my 
preamble I have this first command:

\setcounter{chapter}{61}

In addition, I need to enumerate the sections in the form 6601, 6602, 
66036701, 6702,etc.. I do that with the sentence:

It was eventually my fault because I forgot to mention in http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/I18nLabels that 
one has to add this line to the preamble before redefining theorems


\theoremstyle{remark}

I'll update the Wiki-page now.

some comments to your file:

- you used TeX-code to get an optional argument
This is not necessary because LyX already support this: menu Insert->Short title
I changed this accordingly in the attached file.

- you used TeX-code for your alignedat equation. LyX already supports this environment, see LyX's 
Math manual (that you find in LyX's Help menu) for a description. If you have questions regarding 
this, please ask.

Generating colored tables for a LyX document

[Kosta Welke]

Hello,

I need to include a lot of auto-generated tables into a LyX document. What is 
the best way of getting my tables into LyX?

It seems the easiest way would be to simply generate one .lyx file per table 
and include that in the actual LyX document at the right place. However, I 
would really like to color my rows and columns differently and it seems that 
everything I try in LyX/LaTeX looks awful (the lines between the cells seem to 
change width depending on whether a cell is colored or not, etc.). I based my 
experiments on this:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Tables#toc7
 
I had the idea of generating HTML tables and creating PDFs to include in my LyX 
document, but that fails on the fact that all html->pdf converters that I could 
find only generate full-page PDFs, whereas I need something cropped to the 
table size.

What would you propose to generate nice tables for my LyX document?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Kosta

Sec. 4.6 of the Advanced Features help manual covers a wide range of 
possibilities.

However, LyX only supports reverse search. That is: you click in the PDF and 
then LyX will set the cursor to that place. What Ami wants is forward search 
(putting the cursor in LyX shall cause the PDF viewer to jump to the 
respective place). This is not yet implemented in LyX.

Re: Footnote location

Kludge alert:

Put LaTeX ~\\[2cm] at the start of each footnote's text, or perhaps change the 
footnote environment to place that before the footnote's text, or if that 
doesn't work perhaps construct a character style that does the same thing. 
These are ugly kludges that should be considered last resorts.

I didn't get the clue. In you're idea, I should put that TeX-Code in to the

I configured LyX to use Sumatra, but now- what should I do to make the sync
work? The wiki page discusses ``reverse search", while I'm interested in
the opposite direction (line in LyX -> line [or page] in pdf when viewing it).

Re: Footnote location

Insert the LaTeX one of the three ways I mentioned in my post. As a proof of 
concept, before the first character of a piece of footnote text, insert the 
following LaTeX with LyX's LaTeX insertion facility (ERT):

Thank you for the comment Kornel.
In SUSE, I have tex.pro in the same path, except that your texmf-texlive is
replaced by texmf.
I have no directory texmf-texlive, though texlive has set up many other
directories and files.
I don't know whether this is significant or just a Ubunto naming feature.

Re: Footnote location

That doesn't work properly. It puts a space enter the number of the footnote 
and  its text. 

How I can construct a character style, I unfortunately don't know. I need the

Lyx... book (memoir) ... getting sections*/subsections* in the table of contents

[Frederick Noronha]

Just a query: is it possible for me to get sections* and subsections*
to show up in the table of contents of a Memoir style book?

I can manage with sections/subsections, but don't want any numbers to
show up before these. Thanks! FN

Re: Footnote location

[Steve Litt]

If the ERT didn't work, a character style won't either. The only way to do my 
kludge is to put it in a modified version of the footnote style.

I think there's probably a better and simpler solution -- I just don't know 
it.

Offer... for technical writing

[Frederick Noronha]

Dear all: I am a journalist and writer, and a heavy user of Lyx.
Please let me know if you need any help (volunteering, without fee) to
help write or edit Lyx help files for users. I am not a techie, but
understand the software ... with guidance I could do it. My English
skills are near-native speaker level. FN
