 Hello guys. First of all I want to thankyou all for the great help on
 this list!

 In this case I need to know how to set some things by default within
 LyX to have everything prepared before write.

 So:

 1- How to center sections, subsections and table of content tittles by
 default? nothing more the rest I need it on left side (no prob with
 that)

 2- How to establish size normalsize for subsections and table of
 contents tittles by default instead of that bigger size that Lyx uses?

 P.S: I'm attaching my LyX file called thesis_kenedy, so you can take a
 look and edit it.

For these tasks, you need to write a custom layout. See the
HelpCustomization guide. Start with a document class that almost fits
your needs and remember that you need to tell both, the LyX GUI and LaTeX
about the desired changes.

Then, changing the standard.lyx template to use your layout will make this
the default for every new document. (Make a copy in you LYXHOME (e.g.
~/.lyx) and modify this.)

First, I don't think this is possible, at least not without major
surgery. The templates are simply opened from a file dialog.

But the more important point is that the templates DO work with the
current installation. You can't compile them, but you can use them in
LyX, experiment with them, etc. (The full dialog does actually explain
this.) That is why Unavailable document classes are still, um,
available. As Helge sometimes points out, this is important. You can
install LyX without LaTeX if you like (say, on a netbook with a 4GB
SSD), and it will work just fine for editing.

Re: Adjusting LyX to do things by default

Kenedy,

Allow me to make a humble suggestion. Ask yourself, Do I REALLY NEED change 
these defaults?


I've spent over a year wrestling with LyX and LaTeX to customize their 
defaults to my liking. I have learned a lot about how to do things. While 
you CAN achieve the results you want, you're going to open up a real can of 
worms for yourself. You'll spend hours of frustration trying to get where 
you want to be.


After months of wrestling, I realized that the LyX/LaTeX formatting defaults 
are really quite excellent. I've decided to relax a little and allow myself 
to be blessed by the layouts the experts have already designed. Life is so 
much easier now.


Just a suggestion.

LyX as editor -- Was: available templates and their names

And in my opinion LyX is one of the most productive long-document 
editors the world has ever seen. Little things like rejecting double-
spaces and double-newlines make me much faster as I worry less about 
mistakes. Its low-crashability and low-corruptability make for fast, 
confident working conditions. Its steadfast adherance to styles-based 
authoring makes it easy to build documents the right way. LyX's beige 
default background is easy on the eyes and yet easily contrasty enough 
for bad vision -- I should know, my vision's horrible. And, in spite 
of all the publicity, LyX is WYSIWYG enough that a single glance tells 
you which pieces of text are special styles. Contrast that with old 
WordPerfect 5.1, where the whole doc was courier, and if you wanted to 
see any evidence of styles you'd need to do the WordPerfect equivalent 
of LyX's View-PDF.

Oh, one more thing. I'm now using LyX to author Kindle books -- no PDF 
involved anywhere. It goes like this:

LyX-eLyXer-metadata tweaks-Kindlegen-Upload

But LyX is such a great editor, and so styles adherant, that it was 
the obvious choice. I tried editing eBooks in Sigil for a little 
while, but that was a migration to Pity City.

LyX is a GREAT editor.

Cannot get epstopdf to work in Lyx 2.0.1

2011-11-17 Thread Daniel Kelly (aka Jack)
Dear Lyx Users,

I need to include lots of .eps graphics files in my Lyx document.
These .eps files are produced by GNUplot using the epslatex terminal
driver which produces a .tex files and a .eps file for each graph.

In Lyx 2.0.0, including my graphs was as simple as putting

\input{graph.tex}

in ERT.  Behind the scenes, this would invoke an instance of epstopdf
to convert each .eps file to a .pdf file.  This worked fine in Lyx
2.0.0.

This no longer works in Lyx 2.0.1.  The problem is that epstopdf is
being run in a temp directory (e.g.
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.T13883/lyx_tmpbuf2) but epstopdf is not given a way
to locate the .eps file. The Lyx log file reports that epstopdf is
being called like this:

runsystem(epstopdf --outfile=graph-eps-converted-to.pdf graph.eps)

As you can see, epstopdf has no way of finding where graph.eps lives.

I have tried setting \graphicspath{{/path/to/eps/file/}} in my
document preamble but this did nothing.  I tried providing my graphics
directory in Lyx's Working directory, Temporary directory, PATH
and TEXINPUTS prefix Paths fields but this did not help.

The only fix I have found so far is to open each .tex file (e.g.
graph.tex) in a text editor and manually edit the
\put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=\unitlength]{graph.eps}} line to
include the absolute path of the .eps file.  This is not a
satisfactory solution for many reasons.

I'd really love it if someone could suggest a solution!

Many thanks,
Jack

There are lots of packages available to help you customize the TOC. I

This is not terribly easy, due to how the \section* command works. It's
easier just to define a new command, e.g., \secstartoc, add it to your

mhchem and html

Hello,

I've found the mhchem module from CTAN to be very useful for writing
chemical equations. It works beautifully for pdf output. However, when
I export to HTML, it looks like the mhchem codes don't get interpreted
at all. I get things like:  \ceNa + and \ceNO3 −  right in the
text, instead of formatted chemistry. The rest of the document comes
out looking very nice; mathematical equations look great.

I'm using Lyx v. 2.0.0 on an Ubuntu (11.11) machine. I get the same
problem, whether I'm using the LyxHTML exporter or the HTML
exporter.

What am I doing wrong? Is it a Lyx problem, an mhchem problem or an

horizontal alignment of graphics and ERT table

I wrote a test in LyX and have trouble getting a graphic to sit side
by side with a LaTeX table.  After fiddling around with this for
quite a while, my bright idea was to nest them both in a 1x2 tabular,
but it always seems like the table (inside a minibox) wants to sink to
the bottom of the right side of the table, while the figure wants to
float to the top.

Would you mind looking at the output? I've got one example like this

This is an out-of-the-usual document. It is Sweave'd through R to

 I'm using Lyx v. 2.0.0 on an Ubuntu (11.11) machine. I get the same

 What am I doing wrong? 

It is just that the mhchem package is not supported (yet) by the LyX-HTML
converters.

 Can it be fixed?

File a bug report for the LyxHTML converter.

Assuming that you use eLyXer as external converter, you might:

* try a different converter (e.g.tex4ht) 
* report the problem to the elyxer author.

 Hello guys. First of all I want to thankyou all for the great help on

 In this case I need to know how to set some things by default within

 So:

 1- How to center sections, subsections and table of content tittles by
 default? nothing more the rest I need it on left side (no prob with

 2- How to establish size normalsize for subsections and table of

 P.S: I'm attaching my LyX file called thesis_kenedy, so you can take a

For these tasks, you need to write a custom layout. See the
HelpCustomization guide. Start with a document class that almost fits
your needs and remember that you need to tell both, the LyX GUI and LaTeX
about the desired changes.

Then, changing the standard.lyx template to use your layout will make this
the default for every new document. (Make a copy in you LYXHOME (e.g.
~/.lyx) and modify this.)

First, I don't think this is possible, at least not without major
surgery. The templates are simply opened from a file dialog.

But the more important point is that the templates DO work with the
current installation. You can't compile them, but you can use them in
LyX, experiment with them, etc. (The full dialog does actually explain
this.) That is why Unavailable document classes are still, um,
available. As Helge sometimes points out, this is important. You can
install LyX without LaTeX if you like (say, on a netbook with a 4GB

Kenedy,

Allow me to make a humble suggestion. Ask yourself, Do I REALLY NEED change 
these defaults?


I've spent over a year wrestling with LyX and LaTeX to customize their 
defaults to my liking. I have learned a lot about how to do things. While 
you CAN achieve the results you want, you're going to open up a real can of 
worms for yourself. You'll spend hours of frustration trying to get where 
you want to be.


After months of wrestling, I realized that the LyX/LaTeX formatting defaults 
are really quite excellent. I've decided to relax a little and allow myself 
to be blessed by the layouts the experts have already designed. Life is so 
much easier now.


Just a suggestion.

And in my opinion LyX is one of the most productive long-document 
editors the world has ever seen. Little things like rejecting double-
spaces and double-newlines make me much faster as I worry less about 
mistakes. Its low-crashability and low-corruptability make for fast, 
confident working conditions. Its steadfast adherance to styles-based 
authoring makes it easy to build documents the right way. LyX's beige 
default background is easy on the eyes and yet easily contrasty enough 
for bad vision -- I should know, my vision's horrible. And, in spite 
of all the publicity, LyX is WYSIWYG enough that a single glance tells 
you which pieces of text are special styles. Contrast that with old 
WordPerfect 5.1, where the whole doc was courier, and if you wanted to 
see any evidence of styles you'd need to do the WordPerfect equivalent 
of LyX's View-PDF.

Oh, one more thing. I'm now using LyX to author Kindle books -- no PDF 
involved anywhere. It goes like this:

LyX-eLyXer-metadata tweaks-Kindlegen-Upload

But LyX is such a great editor, and so styles adherant, that it was 
the obvious choice. I tried editing eBooks in Sigil for a little 
while, but that was a migration to Pity City.

LyX is a GREAT editor.

Cannot get epstopdf to work in Lyx 2.0.1

2011-11-17 Thread Daniel Kelly (aka Jack)
Dear Lyx Users,

I need to include lots of .eps graphics files in my Lyx document.
These .eps files are produced by GNUplot using the epslatex terminal
driver which produces a .tex files and a .eps file for each graph.

In Lyx 2.0.0, including my graphs was as simple as putting

\input{graph.tex}

in ERT.  Behind the scenes, this would invoke an instance of epstopdf
to convert each .eps file to a .pdf file.  This worked fine in Lyx
2.0.0.

This no longer works in Lyx 2.0.1.  The problem is that epstopdf is
being run in a temp directory (e.g.
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.T13883/lyx_tmpbuf2) but epstopdf is not given a way
to locate the .eps file. The Lyx log file reports that epstopdf is
being called like this:

runsystem(epstopdf --outfile=graph-eps-converted-to.pdf graph.eps)

As you can see, epstopdf has no way of finding where graph.eps lives.

I have tried setting \graphicspath{{/path/to/eps/file/}} in my
document preamble but this did nothing.  I tried providing my graphics
directory in Lyx's Working directory, Temporary directory, PATH
and TEXINPUTS prefix Paths fields but this did not help.

The only fix I have found so far is to open each .tex file (e.g.
graph.tex) in a text editor and manually edit the
\put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=\unitlength]{graph.eps}} line to
include the absolute path of the .eps file.  This is not a
satisfactory solution for many reasons.

I'd really love it if someone could suggest a solution!

Many thanks,
Jack

There are lots of packages available to help you customize the TOC. I

This is not terribly easy, due to how the \section* command works. It's
easier just to define a new command, e.g., \secstartoc, add it to your

mhchem and html

2011-11-17 Thread eric katz
Hello,

I've found the mhchem module from CTAN to be very useful for writing
chemical equations. It works beautifully for pdf output. However, when
I export to HTML, it looks like the mhchem codes don't get interpreted
at all. I get things like:  \ceNa + and \ceNO3 −  right in the
text, instead of formatted chemistry. The rest of the document comes
out looking very nice; mathematical equations look great.

I'm using Lyx v. 2.0.0 on an Ubuntu (11.11) machine. I get the same
problem, whether I'm using the LyxHTML exporter or the HTML
exporter.

What am I doing wrong? Is it a Lyx problem, an mhchem problem or an
HTML-conversion problem? Can it be fixed?

horizontal alignment of graphics and ERT table

2011-11-17 Thread Paul Johnson
I wrote a test in LyX and have trouble getting a graphic to sit side
by side with a LaTeX table.  After fiddling around with this for
quite a while, my bright idea was to nest them both in a 1x2 tabular,
but it always seems like the table (inside a minibox) wants to sink to
the bottom of the right side of the table, while the figure wants to
float to the top.

Would you mind looking at the output? I've got one example like this
on page 1 and another on page 5.

http://pj.freefaculty.org/latex/test2-part2.pdf

I do want to have the graphic and the table side by side, but I'm open
to making this happen any way you recommend.

This is an out-of-the-usual document. It is Sweave'd through R to
generate the graphic and the regression output, and I don't expect
most people will want to bother to try to compile it. Nevertheless, I
uploaded the LyX file, in case you want to look it over.

It is just that the mhchem package is not supported (yet) by the LyX-HTML

 Can it be fixed?

File a bug report for the LyxHTML converter.

Assuming that you use eLyXer as external converter, you might:

For these tasks, you need to write a custom "layout". See the
Help>Customization guide. Start with a document class that almost fits
your needs and remember that you need to tell both, the LyX GUI and LaTeX
about the desired changes.

Then, changing the standard.lyx template to use your layout will make this
the default for every new document. (Make a copy in you LYXHOME (e.g.
~/.lyx) and modify this.)

IMV, it would help a lot if LyX could filter the templates that do not
work with the current installation. We do this for document classes, so
the vast part of the required logic is already available.

Many of the template names as well as the templates themselve do only make
sense together with special document classes for special needs.

While we are at templates: It would be really nice, if in the list of
available templates when choosing new - from template, both template
diretories (user and system) would be displayed, as it irritated me for
quite some time that the user templates do not show up. AS I guess this
could be difficult ( one file selection dialog from two sources), an button
in the dialog to switch to the user templates (and back to system
tamplates) would make things clearer.

First, I don't think this is possible, at least not without major
surgery. The templates are simply opened from a file dialog.

But the more important point is that the templates DO "work with the
current installation". You can't compile them, but you can use them in
LyX, experiment with them, etc. (The full dialog does actually explain
this.) That is why "Unavailable" document classes are still, um,
available. As Helge sometimes points out, this is important. You can
install LyX without LaTeX if you like (say, on a netbook with a 4GB
SSD), and it will work just fine for editing.

Kenedy,

Allow me to make a humble suggestion. Ask yourself, "Do I REALLY NEED change 
these defaults?"


I've spent over a year wrestling with LyX and LaTeX to customize their 
defaults to my liking. I have learned a lot about how to do things. While 
you CAN achieve the results you want, you're going to open up a real can of 
worms for yourself. You'll spend hours of frustration trying to get where 
you want to be.


After months of wrestling, I realized that the LyX/LaTeX formatting defaults 
are really quite excellent. I've decided to relax a little and allow myself 
to be blessed by the layouts the experts have already designed. Life is so 
much easier now.


Just a suggestion.

While this could/should be implemented as part of a custom
template-selecting dialogue, I use the following workaround:

- set the template path to the user templates (~/.lyx/templates)
- add a link to the system templates in this dir.

LyX as editor -- Was: available templates and their names

And in my opinion LyX is one of the most productive long-document 
editors the world has ever seen. Little things like rejecting double-
spaces and double-newlines make me much faster as I worry less about 
mistakes. Its low-crashability and low-corruptability make for fast, 
confident working conditions. Its steadfast adherance to styles-based 
authoring makes it easy to build documents the right way. LyX's beige 
default background is easy on the eyes and yet easily contrasty enough 
for bad vision -- I should know, my vision's horrible. And, in spite 
of all the publicity, LyX is WYSIWYG enough that a single glance tells 
you which pieces of text are special styles. Contrast that with old 
WordPerfect 5.1, where the whole doc was courier, and if you wanted to 
see any evidence of styles you'd need to do the WordPerfect equivalent 
of LyX's View->PDF.

Oh, one more thing. I'm now using LyX to author Kindle books -- no PDF 
involved anywhere. It goes like this:

LyX->eLyXer->metadata tweaks->Kindlegen->Upload

But LyX is such a great editor, and so styles adherant, that it was 
the obvious choice. I tried editing eBooks in Sigil for a little 
while, but that was a migration to Pity City.

LyX is a GREAT editor.

Cannot get epstopdf to work in Lyx 2.0.1

2011-11-17 Thread Daniel Kelly (aka Jack)
Dear Lyx Users,

I need to include lots of .eps graphics files in my Lyx document.
These .eps files are produced by GNUplot using the epslatex terminal
driver which produces a .tex files and a .eps file for each graph.

In Lyx 2.0.0, including my graphs was as simple as putting

\input{graph.tex}

in ERT.  Behind the scenes, this would invoke an instance of epstopdf
to convert each .eps file to a .pdf file.  This worked fine in Lyx
2.0.0.

This no longer works in Lyx 2.0.1.  The problem is that epstopdf is
being run in a temp directory (e.g.
"/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.T13883/lyx_tmpbuf2") but epstopdf is not given a way
to locate the .eps file. The Lyx log file reports that epstopdf is
being called like this:

runsystem(epstopdf --outfile=graph-eps-converted-to.pdf graph.eps)

As you can see, epstopdf has no way of finding where "graph.eps" lives.

I have tried setting "\graphicspath{{/path/to/eps/file/}}" in my
document preamble but this did nothing.  I tried providing my graphics
directory in Lyx's "Working directory", "Temporary directory", "PATH"
and "TEXINPUTS prefix" Paths fields but this did not help.

The only "fix" I have found so far is to open each .tex file (e.g.
graph.tex) in a text editor and manually edit the
"\put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=\unitlength]{graph.eps}}" line to
include the absolute path of the .eps file.  This is not a
satisfactory solution for many reasons.

I'd really love it if someone could suggest a solution!

Many thanks,
Jack

I know. This would mean either (re)configuring sorts the templates into
an "available" and a "something-missing" directory, or a custom dialog
with filter option replaces the current file-selector.

In my test, there was no way to distinguish between working and
non-working templates but a warning pop-up *after* I selected a template.
A rather discouraging experience for a new user and not helpful if I want
to find a template that works among a majority of non-working ones.

I don't want to make the "restricted-working" templates unavailable, but
I would like a listing of the templates that work (and a button or a
sub-directory with the other ones).

There are lots of packages available to help you customize the TOC. I
think maybe titletoc is the one to try first, though it depends a bit on
your document class. It allows you to customize how the TOC appears, by
type of entry, etc. Very flexible.

This is not terribly easy, due to how the \section* command works. It's
easier just to define a new command, e.g., \secstartoc, add it to your
layout, and use it instead of \section*. That's how I've done it, anyway.

mhchem and html

2011-11-17 Thread eric katz
Hello,

I've found the mhchem module from CTAN to be very useful for writing
chemical equations. It works beautifully for pdf output. However, when
I export to HTML, it looks like the mhchem codes don't get interpreted
at all. I get things like:  "\ceNa +" and "\ceNO3 −"  right in the
text, instead of formatted chemistry. The rest of the document comes
out looking very nice; mathematical equations look great.

I'm using Lyx v. 2.0.0 on an Ubuntu (11.11) machine. I get the same
problem, whether I'm using the "LyxHTML" exporter or the "HTML"
exporter.

What am I doing wrong? Is it a Lyx problem, an mhchem problem or an
HTML-conversion problem? Can it be fixed?

Thank you in advance for your help!

horizontal alignment of graphics and ERT table

2011-11-17 Thread Paul Johnson
I wrote a test in LyX and have trouble getting a graphic to sit "side
by side" with a LaTeX table.  After fiddling around with this for
quite a while, my bright idea was to nest them both in a 1x2 tabular,
but it always seems like the table (inside a minibox) wants to sink to
the bottom of the right side of the table, while the figure wants to
float to the top.

Would you mind looking at the output? I've got one example like this
on page 1 and another on page 5.

http://pj.freefaculty.org/latex/test2-part2.pdf

I do want to have the graphic and the table side by side, but I'm open
to making this happen any way you recommend.

This is an out-of-the-usual document. It is Sweave'd through R to
generate the graphic and the regression output, and I don't expect
most people will want to bother to try to compile it. Nevertheless, I
uploaded the LyX file, in case you want to look it over.

I feel that this is related to this discussion [1], which suggests
several solutions.

I'm not sure that this is the file that you intended to link to, since
it has little to do with the PDF above.

It is just that the mhchem package is not supported (yet) by the LyX->HTML
converters.

> Can it be fixed?

File a bug report for the LyxHTML converter.

Assuming that you use eLyXer as external converter, you might:

* try a different converter (e.g.tex4ht) 
* report the problem to the elyxer author.
