 did not have time to track down this problem.  I am not a unix
 expert so I have not attempted to track it down either.  Any 
 suggestions as to what the problem might be?
 

rotating.sty is used in the UserGuide for rotating the contents of
cells in the Tabular-Documentation. Now if you want print it without
having it installed than you probably have to remove the table which
does the rotating stuff, but much easier is to search rotating.sty on
CTAN and put it in the same directory with your document (if you use
temp-dirs you have to put it in the same temp-directory LyX creates)
or you add the local-tex-directory to the TEXINPUT environment-variable
before starting LyX.

errors caused by marginpar?

1999-09-03 Thread Reinhard Borek

Hi,
I have LateX errors when I try to compile my Lyx-Document. I use Lyx

All these errors are in a input file named example.lyx. When I
compile example.lyx alone no errors occur! I looks in the LaTex log
file and think, that the errors caused by  marginpar, for example:

Die Materialeigenschaften des Glases:
\begin_float margin 
\layout Standard

blablablabla
\end_float 

accordingly the third error message. 

I remove the all marginpars and no errors occur. 

But I do not think, what is wrong with marginpars!

 "Nien-Po" == Nien-Po Chen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

Nien-Po Hi LyX users, I just discovered LyX and am very excited about
Nien-Po it.  I want to use it with a custom LaTeX class file
Nien-Po (foo.cls), but it is not part of the standard LaTeX
Nien-Po installation.  I use a shared UNIX host, so I don't have the
Nien-Po previllage to install it in latex/inputs/ directory, where
Nien-Po LyX looks for *.cls files.  I'm wondering can LyX use *.cls
Nien-Po files at non-standard location (say, the same directory as my
Nien-Po *.lyx file)?  (on the other hand, latex seems OK on this non-
Nien-Po standard location of *.cls and *.sty.)  Any input will be
Nien-Po appreciated.  

Hello,

In fact, LyX does not have to find the .cls file, and it is enough
that LaTeX can see them. However, you have to provide LyX with a
foo.layout file, which describes what the .cls file does. Creating
these layout file requires a bit of LaTeX knowledge, but is not very
difficult if your class is similar to the base latex classes.

You can find more info on this subject in the Customization manual.

Ralph When I filed out a tex document and just filed it back in again

Hello,

I do not any answers for the rest of your message, but this particular

I do not know how to strictly disable all hyphenation (surely a solution
can be found in good LaTeX books), but inserting the command "\sloppy"
in the latex preamble (Pulldown: Layout - LaTex Preamble) will get you
rid of virtually all hyphenations.  The cost is a somewhat less
restrictive typesetting (more variable space between single words), but
it's usually hard to notice by eye.

I assume that putting "\sloppy" in red (TeX style) in front of a
paragraph will have the same effort for the following text.  You can
switch back to fuzzy typesetting by specifying "\fuzzy" at any place.

Hope this helps.

Happy LyXing, Dirk

 Dirk Hope this helps.

actually,  it didnt work completely.
i put \sloppy at the beginning of a line and it made "system-s"
change to "sys-tems" which is certainly an improvement,
but \sloppy at the beginning of another paragraph had no affect
at all.

i then removed these and put \sloppy in the preamble only, 
but it had exactly the same effect. that is - it only changed
the word "systems"

Bonjour,

I want to add specific fonts to lyx: I have installed some fonts in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ and I can use use them with special key
bindings that I added in my .tcshrc and .emacs files, so I can type my
latex files with them and, as there are similar fonts for TeX installed,
a character diplayed by emacs gives the same character after latex
compilation. Is possible to do something similar with lyx:

1- lyx displays the characters from these fonts via the x-fonts server
2- the encoding of these fonts can be given to the document in the same
way as we do for latin1 encoding
3- I can use special key bindings to produce these special characters in
lyx window: e.g. F12 a gives an a macron, F12 d gives a d underdot etc.

Thank you.

Vertical Page Centering

Which version of LyX? Prior versions (1.0.2 and I think 1.0.3) had problems
with misconfigured dvips setups (the default for most tetex installations
seems to be A4 paper, where Letter sized paper is most likely desired.

You can tell whether this is the problem by doing a "View Posctscript" and
printing the letter from ghostview. If you do this and it works correctly,
then you should either upgrade to LyX 1.0.4pre6 (get the RPM from my
ftp site: ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx) or fix your dvips config.ps file
to use Letter sized paper by default.

You could concoct a totally unsatisfactory quick fix by putting a hard end of
line ( CTRL-RET ) somewhere in the line, and put a space at the start of the
second line. However it would be a _much_ better idea to get the TeX problems
sorted out..

You would probably find having `The not so short introduction to LaTeX2e'
to hand very useful. Your nearest mirror appears to be:-

http://www.cmis.csiro.au/Graham.Williams/TeX/entries/lshort-english.html

It's well written and is very informative, and the author answers his
e-mail, but he is on holiday until the 26th.

 If you use linux, your are probably
 using teTeX, and the program texconfig allows you to see what
 hyphenation patterns are loded in the latex format.

rotating.sty is used in the UserGuide for rotating the contents of
cells in the Tabular-Documentation. Now if you want print it without
having it installed than you probably have to remove the table which
does the rotating stuff, but much easier is to search rotating.sty on
CTAN and put it in the same directory with your document (if you use
temp-dirs you have to put it in the same temp-directory LyX creates)
or you add the local-tex-directory to the TEXINPUT environment-variable
before starting LyX.

errors caused by marginpar?

1999-09-03 Thread Reinhard Borek

Hi,
I have LateX errors when I try to compile my Lyx-Document. I use Lyx

All these errors are in a input file named example.lyx. When I
compile example.lyx alone no errors occur! I looks in the LaTex log
file and think, that the errors caused by  marginpar, for example:

Die Materialeigenschaften des Glases:
\begin_float margin 
\layout Standard

blablablabla
\end_float 

accordingly the third error message. 

I remove the all marginpars and no errors occur. 

But I do not think, what is wrong with marginpars!

 "Nien-Po" == Nien-Po Chen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

Nien-Po Hi LyX users, I just discovered LyX and am very excited about
Nien-Po it.  I want to use it with a custom LaTeX class file
Nien-Po (foo.cls), but it is not part of the standard LaTeX
Nien-Po installation.  I use a shared UNIX host, so I don't have the
Nien-Po previllage to install it in latex/inputs/ directory, where
Nien-Po LyX looks for *.cls files.  I'm wondering can LyX use *.cls
Nien-Po files at non-standard location (say, the same directory as my
Nien-Po *.lyx file)?  (on the other hand, latex seems OK on this non-
Nien-Po standard location of *.cls and *.sty.)  Any input will be
Nien-Po appreciated.  

Hello,

In fact, LyX does not have to find the .cls file, and it is enough
that LaTeX can see them. However, you have to provide LyX with a
foo.layout file, which describes what the .cls file does. Creating
these layout file requires a bit of LaTeX knowledge, but is not very
difficult if your class is similar to the base latex classes.

You can find more info on this subject in the Customization manual.

Ralph When I filed out a tex document and just filed it back in again
Ralph I did not get the exactly the same document.  Lyx gave no

Ralph violates the principle that lyx should be able to read in any

Hello,

I do not any answers for the rest of your message, but this particular
problem is indeed there. In fact the \char is added because of the

I do not know how to strictly disable all hyphenation (surely a solution
can be found in good LaTeX books), but inserting the command "\sloppy"
in the latex preamble (Pulldown: Layout - LaTex Preamble) will get you
rid of virtually all hyphenations.  The cost is a somewhat less
restrictive typesetting (more variable space between single words), but
it's usually hard to notice by eye.

I assume that putting "\sloppy" in red (TeX style) in front of a
paragraph will have the same effort for the following text.  You can
switch back to fuzzy typesetting by specifying "\fuzzy" at any place.

Hope this helps.

Happy LyXing, Dirk

 Dirk Hope this helps.

actually,  it didnt work completely.
i put \sloppy at the beginning of a line and it made "system-s"
change to "sys-tems" which is certainly an improvement,
but \sloppy at the beginning of another paragraph had no affect
at all.

i then removed these and put \sloppy in the preamble only, 
but it had exactly the same effect. that is - it only changed
the word "systems"

Bonjour,

I want to add specific fonts to lyx: I have installed some fonts in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ and I can use use them with special key
bindings that I added in my .tcshrc and .emacs files, so I can type my
latex files with them and, as there are similar fonts for TeX installed,
a character diplayed by emacs gives the same character after latex
compilation. Is possible to do something similar with lyx:

1- lyx displays the characters from these fonts via the x-fonts server
2- the encoding of these fonts can be given to the document in the same
way as we do for latin1 encoding
3- I can use special key bindings to produce these special characters in
lyx window: e.g. F12 a gives an a macron, F12 d gives a d underdot etc.

Thank you.

Which version of LyX? Prior versions (1.0.2 and I think 1.0.3) had problems
with misconfigured dvips setups (the default for most tetex installations
seems to be A4 paper, where Letter sized paper is most likely desired.

You can tell whether this is the problem by doing a "View Posctscript" and

You would probably find having `The not so short introduction to LaTeX2e'

rotating.sty is used in the UserGuide for rotating the contents of
cells in the Tabular-Documentation. Now if you want print it without
having it installed than you probably have to remove the table which
does the rotating stuff, but much easier is to search rotating.sty on
CTAN and put it in the same directory with your document (if you use
temp-dirs you have to put it in the same temp-directory LyX creates)
or you add the local-tex-directory to the TEXINPUT environment-variable
before starting LyX.

errors caused by marginpar?

Hi,
I have LateX errors when I try to compile my Lyx-Document. I use Lyx

L72 }}

All these errors are in a input file named example.lyx. When I
compile example.lyx alone no errors occur! I looks in the LaTex log
file and think, that the errors caused by  marginpar, for example:

Die Materialeigenschaften des Glases:
\begin_float margin 
\layout Standard

blablablabla
\end_float 

accordingly the third error message. 

I remove the all marginpars and no errors occur. 

But I do not think, what is wrong with marginpars!

Hello,

In fact, LyX does not have to find the .cls file, and it is enough
that LaTeX can see them. However, you have to provide LyX with a
foo.layout file, which describes what the .cls file does. Creating
these layout file requires a bit of LaTeX knowledge, but is not very
difficult if your class is similar to the base latex classes.

You can find more info on this subject in the Customization manual.

Hello,

I do not any answers for the rest of your message, but this particular
problem is indeed there. In fact the \char is added because of the
&^%*&^% german babel option which insists on using " as a fancy
macro. That's why LyX outputs \char".

Amir, can reLyX cope with it in some way?

hyphens

g'day again,

 in my 'book' class document i've foudn that Lyx
 and/or latex insists on putting hyphens in unintelligent

 can anyone tell me how i can disable all hyphenation ?
 or is it possible to disable it on an individual paragraph 
 basis at least ?

please have a nice day.

I do not know how to strictly disable all hyphenation (surely a solution
can be found in good LaTeX books), but inserting the command "\sloppy"
in the latex preamble (Pulldown: Layout -> LaTex Preamble) will get you
rid of virtually all hyphenations.  The cost is a somewhat less
restrictive typesetting (more variable space between single words), but
it's usually hard to notice by eye.

I assume that putting "\sloppy" in red (TeX style) in front of a
paragraph will have the same effort for the following text.  You can
switch back to fuzzy typesetting by specifying "\fuzzy" at any place.

Hope this helps.

Happy LyXing, Dirk

In what language are you typesetting your document? I just checked and

actually,  it didnt work completely.
i put \sloppy at the beginning of a line and it made "system-s"
change to "sys-tems" which is certainly an improvement,
but \sloppy at the beginning of another paragraph had no affect
at all.

i then removed these and put \sloppy in the preamble only, 
but it had exactly the same effect. that is - it only changed
the word "systems"

Bonjour,

I want to add specific fonts to lyx: I have installed some fonts in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ and I can use use them with special key
bindings that I added in my .tcshrc and .emacs files, so I can type my
latex files with them and, as there are similar fonts for TeX installed,
a character diplayed by emacs gives the same character after latex
compilation. Is possible to do something similar with lyx:

1- lyx displays the characters from these fonts via the x-fonts server
2- the encoding of these fonts can be given to the document in the same
way as we do for latin1 encoding
3- I can use special key bindings to produce these special characters in
lyx window: e.g. F12 a gives an a macron, F12 d gives a d underdot etc.

Thank you.

Vertical Page Centering

1999-09-03 Thread Technical Support


I have been using LaTeX for some time and am now switching to LyX.  In
my first few attempts I have had a hard time getting some sample letters

I have written centered vertically on the page.  Is this a feature of
LyX or am I doing something wrong?  How can I influence this vertical
positioning so that it is more centered on the page?  Thanks for your
help.

Which version of LyX? Prior versions (1.0.2 and I think 1.0.3) had problems
with misconfigured dvips setups (the default for most tetex installations
seems to be A4 paper, where Letter sized paper is most likely desired.

You can tell whether this is the problem by doing a "View Posctscript" and
printing the letter from ghostview. If you do this and it works correctly,
then you should either upgrade to LyX 1.0.4pre6 (get the RPM from my
ftp site: ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx) or fix your dvips config.ps file
to use Letter sized paper by default.

Can you send me the LaTeX file and the log file so I can see what's happening
specifically?

Thanks.

In a private mail she told me:-



i'm not sure which lyx it is. i think 1.0.3 (i only got it 
recently).  i'm running it on redhat 6.0 with linux 2.2.5-15



Now isn't that the RH release where RedHat screwed up the TeX install
and you have to re-do some of it manually?

I do not run RH here so I can't remember all the details, but I'm sure somebody
on the list will know what you have to do..

btw, Your test page typesets perfectly here. Here are the relvent lines from
my log file. What do you get in your log?

This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.2)

(see the transcript file for additional information)
Output written on hyphentest.dvi (1 page, 668 bytes).
Transcript written on hyphentest.log.   

The overfull hbox is only a point or so, so it can be ignored safely

You could concoct a totally unsatisfactory quick fix by putting a hard end of
line ( CTRL-RET ) somewhere in the line, and put a space at the start of the
second line. However it would be a _much_ better idea to get the TeX problems
sorted out..

You would probably find having `The not so short introduction to LaTeX2e'
to hand very useful. Your nearest mirror appears to be:-

http://www.cmis.csiro.au/Graham.Williams/TeX/entries/lshort-english.html

It's well written and is very informative, and the author answers his
e-mail, but he is on holiday until the 26th.
