elyxer trouble

[Neal Becker]

elyxer (1.2.1) embeds:

link rel=stylesheet href=http://elyxer.nongnu.org/lyx.css; type=text/css 
media=all

But that url seems to be dead.

Has elyxer moved?

Is there some way I can reference a local copy instead?  I thought just copying 
lyx.css to the same directory would work, but it doesn't.

Lyx 2.0 Fedora 14 , error with parent and child document

[ajaucot]

Hello,

In a master file, the same child file is input twice (with
insert/file/child). 
When using Lyx 1.6 and older versions, visualization in PDF run well,
but with Lyx 2.0.0, the first input is executed, but the second one give
an error message, saying it is unable to load the child document.
I don't know if it is a bug or simply a configuration problem on my
system (Fedora 14)? The 2 files attached illustrate the problem.

Could you please help me with this issue?

Thank you for your help

Currently LyX does not do that for you.

You can do this in latex following the instructions here:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=extref

You will need to use TeX code and provide the .aux files.

Yeah but the link on the LyX wiki doesn't point to the TUG address it points

Err, sorry I don't understand how does CleanMyMac have any effect upon the

are smaller (streamlined) packages available but anyone looking at the LyX

And if one wants to boast LyX is installed here on a MacMini Server with 8Gb

\phantom is not calculated correctly for =

[Patrick Li]

Hello everyone,


I have found myself resorting to \phantom for some things, and am having
trouble getting it to calculate correctly for the = sign. Would anyone
please confirm this behaviour?


The following is a piece of Tex code that I copy and pasted from my Lyx
file.


\begin{align*}

\vec{w}  =a+b\\

 \phantom{=}a+b\end{align*}


It should display

w = a+b

  a+b

where the second a+b should line up perfectly with the first a+b. This
is not the case.


Thank you

Inserting spreadsheet in Lyx

[Jacob Larsen]

Hi,

I'm having a little difficulty inserting a spreadsheet in Lyx 2.0.0. and was
hoping that any of you could help me out.

I'm using a Mac and since you have to use Gnumeric in order to insert the
spreadsheet, I have downloaded a Mac version of this. I use the insert
external material function and set the template to GnumericSpreadsheet as
mentioned in the guide. However, when I try to view my document in pdf, the
Latex error box pops up. It is saying the following:


LaTeX Error: File `5_Users_jacobkjrlarsen_Desktop_sheet-1.tex' not found.

 ..._Users_jacobkjrlarsen_Desktop_sheet-1.tex}

^^M

*** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)



Do you know what I am doing wrong? does it maybe have anything do to with
the fact that I'm using a mac version of Gnumeric and not the original
windows version?


Any help would be much appreciated,


Jacob Larsen

TeX adds some space around = because it is one of the relational 
operators, but inside the \phantom{} it is not a relational operator 
since it does not have any operands on the left or rigth within the {}.


Why don't you put the = to the left of the alignment?
 \begin{align*}

 \vec{w} =  a+b\\

   a+b\end{align*}

Hi,

The nongnu.org site was down, it should be working now.

You can use the option --css.

Yeah but the link on the LyX wiki doesn't point to the TUG address it points
direct to the FTP server directory storing the mkpg for MacTeX. It's
misleading.

\phantom is not calculated correctly for =

[Patrick Li]

Hello everyone,


I have found myself resorting to \phantom for some things, and am having
trouble getting it to calculate correctly for the = sign. Would anyone
please confirm this behaviour?


The following is a piece of Tex code that I copy and pasted from my Lyx
file.


\begin{align*}

\vec{w}  =a+b\\

 \phantom{=}a+b\end{align*}


It should display

w = a+b

  a+b

where the second a+b should line up perfectly with the first a+b. This
is not the case.


Thank you

Inserting spreadsheet in Lyx

[Jacob Larsen]

Hi,

I'm having a little difficulty inserting a spreadsheet in Lyx 2.0.0. and was
hoping that any of you could help me out.

I'm using a Mac and since you have to use Gnumeric in order to insert the
spreadsheet, I have downloaded a Mac version of this. I use the insert
external material function and set the template to GnumericSpreadsheet as
mentioned in the guide. However, when I try to view my document in pdf, the
Latex error box pops up. It is saying the following:


LaTeX Error: File `5_Users_jacobkjrlarsen_Desktop_sheet-1.tex' not found.

 ..._Users_jacobkjrlarsen_Desktop_sheet-1.tex}

^^M

*** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)



Do you know what I am doing wrong? does it maybe have anything do to with
the fact that I'm using a mac version of Gnumeric and not the original
windows version?


Any help would be much appreciated,


Jacob Larsen

TeX adds some space around = because it is one of the relational 
operators, but inside the \phantom{} it is not a relational operator 
since it does not have any operands on the left or rigth within the {}.


Why don't you put the = to the left of the alignment?
 \begin{align*}

 \vec{w} =  a+b\\

   a+b\end{align*}

Hello,

In a master file, the same child file is input twice (with

When using Lyx 1.6 and older versions, visualization in PDF run well,
but with Lyx 2.0.0, the first input is executed, but the second one give
an error message, saying it is unable to load the child document.
I don't know if it is a bug or simply a configuration problem on my

Could you please help me with this issue?

Currently LyX does not do that for you.

You can do this in latex following the instructions here:

On the MacTeX home page http://www.tug.org/mactex/ there is a clear reference 
to "smaller packages." I did a bit of exploring of TeX, LaTeX, and LaTeX front 
ends before deciding what I wanted to do -- all of probably a couple hours max.

Re: LyX for Mac OSX 10.6.7?

[Trevor Jenkins]

Err, sorry I don't understand how does "CleanMyMac" have any effect upon the
content of the LyX wiki? The wiki entry for Mac points direct to an FTP
directory for MacTeX (the package is 1.2Gb) others have suggested that there
are smaller (streamlined) packages available but anyone looking at the LyX
wiki isn't going to know that. We don't all have perfect knowledge.

And if one wants to boast LyX is installed here on a MacMini Server with 8Gb
and 1Tb of disk storage. And on a 120Gb Macbook Pro.

The suggestion to link to the MacTeX homepage is a good one. (We had
that link before, I believe; I'm not sure why it was changed.) At any
rate, I've made some modifications. Feel free to edit some more if you
like. (If you don't have it already, you can ask on the list for the
password.)

By the way, please bottom-post in this list. It makes it easier for

It'll trim approximately 1 Gig in unnecessary language and other crap
from *ALL* apps and stuff, not just from the wiki, but if space is tight
yu don't have to mess about installations :-)-O

I thought I had seen it there in the past but I update LyX so irregularly
(the version I had was adequate for my occasion need or, as now, installed
afresh on a new system).

Usually do. Sign of my ire at irrelancies when I don't. FYI 28 rules ... or

Shame it doesn't also trim email replies too. 86 lines of back story that a
decent threading email can cope with and FYI-28 non-compliant .sig files.

Interesting I didn't see any mention of the CleanMyMac web site about it
being able to trim a LaTeX installation.

And the original observation was not about the disk footprint of MacTex but
rather the size of the download, which for some ... say in Namibia where
telecomms are still not T1 quality may be a consideration. And for some of
us englska är inte endast språk; neither Mac OS X with all the latest Snow
Leopard gizmos nor TeX can deal with the language into/from which I
translate every day of my working life.

It turned out to be an issue with the MSVC compiler and should be fixed
in the next release. In the meantime, Windows users needing to perform a
dvi forward search can workaround it by first generating a pdf and *then*
previewing as dvi.

What browser are you using? Some old versions of IE may show HTML
better than XHTML. Anyway you can add the --html option within LyX,
adding it to the Converters section in the Preferences:

This is wierd.  If run from lyx export html, I see:

Line 3: * Warning: unsupported new format version 413
Line 150: * Formula beginning \begin_inset Formula  is unknown
Line 150: * Unparsed formula line \begin_inset Formula

But if run from command line:
elyxer.py ../non-periodic.lyx ./non-periodic.html
Line 55: Title: ... (no error/warning)

\phantom is not calculated correctly for =

[Patrick Li]

Hello everyone,


I have found myself resorting to \phantom for some things, and am having
trouble getting it to calculate correctly for the = sign. Would anyone
please confirm this behaviour?


The following is a piece of Tex code that I copy and pasted from my Lyx
file.


\begin{align*}

\vec{w} & =a+b\\

& \phantom{=}a+b\end{align*}


It should display

w = a+b

  a+b

where the second "a+b" should line up perfectly with the first "a+b". This
is not the case.


Thank you

  -Patrick

Re: LyX for Mac OSX 10.6.7?

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

Interesting that you are familiar with the download speeds of places say
in Namibia. If download was the issue, buy the DVD.

It not trims a Tex installation, it trims the whole lot.

Inserting spreadsheet in Lyx

[Jacob Larsen]

Hi,

I'm having a little difficulty inserting a spreadsheet in Lyx 2.0.0. and was
hoping that any of you could help me out.

I'm using a Mac and since you have to use Gnumeric in order to insert the
spreadsheet, I have downloaded a Mac version of this. I use the insert
external material function and set the template to GnumericSpreadsheet as
mentioned in the guide. However, when I try to view my document in pdf, the
Latex error box pops up. It is saying the following:


LaTeX Error: File `5_Users_jacobkjrlarsen_Desktop_sheet-1.tex' not found.

 ..._Users_jacobkjrlarsen_Desktop_sheet-1.tex}

^^M

*** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)



Do you know what I am doing wrong? does it maybe have anything do to with
the fact that I'm using a mac version of Gnumeric and not the original
windows version?


Any help would be much appreciated,


Jacob Larsen

TeX adds some space around = because it is one of the relational 
operators, but inside the \phantom{} it is not a relational operator 
since it does not have any operands on the left or rigth within the {}.


Why don't you put the = to the left of the alignment?
