 How do I proceed?

 You should install a LaTeX package mathdots. In my case (Fedora Linux, 
 TeXlive 2010) it's called texlive-mathdots.

In case installing the packages is not possible, you might try with 

* export to latex,
* remove or comment the line \usepackage{mathdots}
* compile by hand
* if there are errors in the line of command ... not defined,
  remove/change these commands that require the mathdots package

This should at least help to see the rest of the document as a PDF.

BTW: it would be nice to have HTML and PDF versions of the manuals publicly
available.

 Do you know if I could continue using Palatino (Palladio) in my
 document (with LM for the rest), while randomly inserting Unicode
 chars like this that would use an OpenType font? I'd like to keep
 working with Palatino.

You could, e.g. use TeXGyre Pagella as main font.
Then set up a secondary font containing the required symbol with fontspec

Re: Spell cheking grrr! ;-)

[Murat Yildizoglu]

I have opened the file in TextWrangler and have seen a mixture of
\lang english and \lang french. I have deleted all of them using a
search and replace (the default language is French anyway) and saved
the doc. Now everything seems in order again and I do not see any wavy
red underlines for the text in French.

I can see them for the text in English. When I tried to mark them as
English, I have seen the contextual menu does not contain the Language
item (I imagine that this is due to the fact that my text is now
monolingual).

So, if I understand well, when you start a new document and put into
it a first chunk in another language, you have to go through the
Paragraph Settings/Customized/Language, instead of Language in the
contextual menu. Afterwards the Language menu item becomes visible,
since Lyx detects that your document contains at least two languages.
Maybe Lyx is trying to be too smart here, no? IMHO, it would be nice
to have this Language menu item from the start (supposing that it
effectively does what it is supposed to do :-)  ). Am I the only one
to think like that (if this is the case, I could customize my
contextual menu in Lyx I imagine, I have never tried this?

 I have also tried to do it paragraph by paragraph, but without any

 Moreover, I have also tried to choose Français as language in
 Tools/Spell-check but it switches by itself to English as soon as
 raise the mouse button in the selection box.

 What is the magic way of asking to Lyx to set the language to the one
 we select? Is there a way?

 I think it should work to change the language of the document and/or
 the language of some paragraph. Changing the language in the spell checker
 changes it for the currently selected word only.

Re: Missing templates

I did this:

Of course, that is not very user friendly. In particular now that Apple has

 Problem solved :-)

 Thanks to everyone, and particularly to Julio for pointing me in the
 right direction. As he guessed, the problem was not with Lyx, but with
 the environment that Kde works with. I always launch my applications
 from Krunner (the little Kde app that offer a command line-like
 mini-screen). After a lot of searching, I discovered that:

 1. Krunner uses the PATH variables set by startkde (the script that
 starts the KDE desktop)

 2. startkde does two things, path-wise:
a - first it uses the PATH settings it inherits from the process it
 is run from;
b - then it looks for executable (i.e scripts) files in kde's  /env
  directories (e.g. in $HOME/.kde4/env and other env dirs system wide)
c - it runs any executable files it finds

 3. To align the PATH variable in a bash shell (which I set in .profile
 and .bash_profile) with krunner's, I wrote a one-line file which
 exports  the correct path, called it profile.sh, made it executable,
 and put it in a newly created  dir ~HOME/.kde4/env

 after logging out and restarting kde, lyx now finds TL2011 when
 launched  from a shell and from Krunner.


 Thanks to everyone.

 Stefano

How to see console output of LyX 2.0.0 in Windows?

[Manveru]

I need to configure batik as SVG converter for LyX 2.0.0 as I have in
1.6.x - I know how, but I have some issue in the method.

And I CANNOT debug that, because there is no enabler for console
output of LyX in windows - it even does not accept command line
options (at least do not display --help).

HELP!

How to see console output of LyX 2.0.0 in Windows?

[Manveru]

I need to configure batik as SVG converter for LyX 2.0.0 as I have in
1.6.x - I know how, but I have some issue in the method.

And I CANNOT debug that, because there is no enabler for console
output of LyX in windows - it even does not accept command line
options (at least do not display --help).

HELP!

Hi,

I don't know what is the terminology for this, but it would be great if  
LyX
allows a document to scroll a little bit even though there is no lines.  
For



Try:
Tools > Prefs > Editing > Scroll below end of doc

Liviu



example, when I write down a document, I can comfortably type until the
number of lines increases and the cursor goes to the bottom of the  
screen.

At that stage, as long as I'm adding new lines, the cursor stays at the
bottom of the screen, and it is not comfortable for my eyes. I would  
want

LyX to scroll the document a little bit, so I can have the cursor at the
middle of the screen even though it is on the last line of the document.

Maybe LyX can maintain about a half page dummy gray area after end of  
the
document so I can scroll a little bit. Now in order to do so I'm typing  
a
lot of one character and enter to have some space shown under the  
cursor.


Hopefully this explains what I'm talking about.

Yes, that's the plan.
Thanks for the info.
