Re: Using bibtopic.sty with LyX?
Hello Herbert, Thank you very much for your instructions to modify the miniscript: /usr/bin/bibtex $1"1.aux" /usr/bin/bibtex $1"2.aux" /usr/bin/bibtex $1"3.aux" /usr/bin/bibtex $1"4.aux" ... usw Now the script works excellent and everything is fine -- bibtopic works with LyX !!! I modified the script by myself a little bit: 1.) I added a bibtex run without the bibtopic extensions (on file.aux without the numerical extensions), so that the script can handle other files with "normal" bibliographies (without the use of bibtopic). I tested the script with non-bibtopic files and there were no problems. Bibtopic by itself suppresses the standard bibliography environment (it doesn't use file.aux) 2.) I left the ".aux" extensions, because you don't need them. So the miniscript to use bibtopic with LyX (saved as "bibtex" in ~/bin) looks like this (for four bibliography topics): #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/bibtex $1%% -- starts bibtex file /usr/bin/bibtex $1"1"%% -- starts bibtex file1 /usr/bin/bibtex $1"2"%% -- starts bibtex file2 /usr/bin/bibtex $1"3"%% -- ... /usr/bin/bibtex $1"4" Well. I'm very grateful to your help - Thanks again! Now I don't have to miss LyX --- by far the best document processing tool I ever used --- for my work :-) Best wishes, Juergen. P.S.: I changed to English again and added some explains about our discussion, because I sent a copy to the LyX mailing list --- maybe there will be other users who want to use the excellent bibtopic package for their bibliography.
ASCII export loses variables...
Dear all,
I have set up a template document for report writing in which I define
some variables in the Latex preamble eg:-
\newcommand{\us}{Barron McCann Ltd }
\newcommand{\reportdate}{12th October 2000 }
\newcommand{\testdate}{9th - 11th October 2000 }
etc (there are several more)...
This works perfectly for DVI/PS/Latex(hence PDF) output, but when I use
the ASCII export option, the variables used in the text disappear. Is
this a bug, or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Adrian.

Re: class docbook W32
The initial search to detect docbook is for sgmltools or db2html scripts, I am really aware that you can use it without those wrappers. They call the tools you have. This could be changed, there are several possible ways to do it. I would like to hear suggestion. How about to search for (open)jade? In order to convert the document, yes, do search for openjade as well. But for anyone to write this type of document, simply make sure that the right layout files are in place and whatever other LyX specific files are needed. It's the users problem if he/she wants to write a DocBook document without the extra tools to actually do anything sensible with them. I have a Windows NT envrioment set up with OpenJade, JadeTex, DocBook, stylesheets and whatever else is in here. so I can performe the desired conversion as long as LyX exports a sgml file for me. Yes. He, he... This was actually a statement of facts, not a question. For 1.1.6 there is also docbook-book. It needs some work but the basis are there. Great! I'll whatch out for the Win32 port of it and get it right away for my Linux box. If I try to start a new document from that docbook.layout file and go "view dvi" it gives me a LaTeX error even before I've changed or set anything. That's why I think that the docbook.layout file is just "for instance" and isn't capable of compiling anything. In any case, in my installation, with the "docbook" template file, I can not import or export anything more relevant than ASCII, so surely the engine room is empty no? What version do you have (lyx)? It is possible to configure the way docbook is converted to any of those formats. I think this might be a problem with MiKTeX. There are versions of JadeTeX out there made for MiKTeX 1.2?, and when installed it wrecks havoc with some of the setup. I installed this version if JadeTeX and started experiencing problems with the dvi files. I then reinstalled then latest beta of MiKTeX. Both have worked just fine after that, and I once again have correct dvi files. The support is not complete, is work in progress. We are missing mainly the inline elements, that will be supported as soon as the Logical Characther Styles are implemented. I'm only too happy to hear that there is some sort of progress on the matter. - IT
Re: ASCII export loses variables...
Thanks for both the explanation, and the solution. Downloaded dvi2tty and exported that way - the output isn't quite as nice as the Lyx ASCII export, but it will manage for the time being.

displaystyle for frac
I have the following behavior which is not normal according to me
with lyx version 15fix1 but also 12 (the machine is a Linux debian potato).
I have a matrix in math displaystyle and one of the cell is a frac
which I would like to have in displaystyle. If I export the file in TeX
and add a {\displaystyle } everything is ok but if I select the
frac or put the cursor before the frac and do a math-size displaystyle
in the minibuffer I have no effect (in the ps view of course).
What I have misunderstood ?

A draft mode to forget figures
I am trying to produce a huge doc without figures.
The basic command with latex is
\usepackage[draft]{graphics}.
In that case, i only get a box with the name of the file.
When i try to use it in the latex preambule form LyX, i get an error like
"option package clash"?
Attempts to use \usepackage[,draft]{graphics} instead, as suggested,
just results in the same error (example included).
It seems the clash is related to the following \usepackage instruction
but I don't understand why.
What is going on which I don't understand and what should I do?
Thanks

do a
\newcommand\myDStyle[1]{\displaystyle{#1}}
in latex preamble and than in your formular \myDStyle{
lyx puts the closing paranthesis my itself. now you can insert your

spellchecker
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hi,
let put here couple of notes (and wishes) for LyX's spellchecker.
First issue is the issue of compounded words. Czech language is
famous for its incredible ability to create compound words by
using literarily hundreds of affixes, suffixes and terminations
(affix is not the same as preposition, which is a separate word
itself). For example the word "nespravedlnost" (see attached
screenshot) is rather simple -- it would be translated
as "unjustice". Affix "ne-" means negation. Simple, similar to
English.
OK, let's take more complicated example. Phrase "b\'yt
na pov\'a\v{z}enou" would be translated as "be a matter
of (great) moment | consequence" (according to dictionary). The
root of the word is "v\'a\v{z}it si" (to hold in (high | low)
regard), which is modified by an affix "po-" which has meaning of
something merely possible not actual and by a termination
"-enou" which is the termination of particular phrase
(accusativ).
Let me remark (for friends of German language), that the Czech
system is this accent _much_ more complicated than German
compound words, which are usually compounded as-is (if I
remember it correctly -- I do not speak German).
Fortunately ispell is able and willing to work correctly with
all this mess (which is really great, taking into account that
it is really better than many commercial wordprocessors).
However, sometime it asks for confirmation, whether it created
composition correctly (see the second attached screenshot of
Emacs working on ispell-buffer). Unfortunately, LyX is not able
to catch this, so that it offers only the non-sensical proposals
(see again first screenshot -- neither of them make any
sense in Czech).
Another, much less important, issue is the impossibility to skip
all-capital words and a possibility to include word in a
personal dictionary lower-case. Both would be nice to have.
What about my comments (I know, it is probably not on short
list)?
Have a nice day
Matej

I tested it with both bibtopic and non bibtopic using LyX-files. It works with no problems. Now it is usable for anyone who wants to produce a splitted bibliography with LyX and the bibtopic-package, which is really very powerful (it is fully compatible with natbib and one more feature is the possibility to produce different bibliographies for chapters (like chapterbib) or seperate topics for not-cited literature). My experiences (in the arts, the human sciences) are, that splitting bibliographies is a thing which can't be missed in a lot of sciences (e.g. in historiography, you have to split your bibliography into at least two topics: sources and literature; the same in literary studies: primary and secondary literature). So I think, it is really a pitty, that LyX doesn't support this possibility by itself (apart from this, it is by far the best document processing tool, as I wrote before - I don't want to miss it). Your script shows, that it is very easy to make LyX compatible with bibtopic, which solves the problem. I think, it would be a good idea to implement your script (or something like this) to coming LyX versions - to make LyX even more powerful! What do you think about it? Greetings and thanks, Juergen.
Footnote doesn't end in the same page.
Hi, I noticed that some footnotes will continue in other pages in footnote area. If there is no footnote in next page, then the footnote will continue from the next page that has footnote. This is not a good thing... Anyone knows how to fix it? I mean force footnote finish in one page no matter how long it is? Thanks.

had any success with this?

In any case, in my installation, with the "docbook" template file, I can not import or export anything more relevant than ASCII, so surely the engine room is empty no? What version do you have (lyx)? It is possible to configure the way docbook is converted to any of those formats. I think this might be a problem with MiKTeX. There are versions of JadeTeX out there made for MiKTeX 1.2?, and when installed it wrecks havoc with some of the setup. I installed this version if JadeTeX and started experiencing problems with the dvi files. I then reinstalled then latest beta of MiKTeX. Both have worked just fine after that, and I once again have correct dvi files. The support is not complete, is work in progress. We are missing mainly the inline elements, that will be supported as soon as the Logical Characther Styles are implemented. I'm only too happy to hear that there is some sort of progress on the matter. - IT
Re: ASCII export loses variables...
Thanks for both the explanation, and the solution. Downloaded dvi2tty and exported that way - the output isn't quite as nice as the Lyx ASCII export, but it will manage for the time being.

displaystyle for frac
I have the following behavior which is not normal according to me
with lyx version 15fix1 but also 12 (the machine is a Linux debian potato).
I have a matrix in math displaystyle and one of the cell is a frac
which I would like to have in displaystyle. If I export the file in TeX
and add a {\displaystyle } everything is ok but if I select the
frac or put the cursor before the frac and do a math-size displaystyle
in the minibuffer I have no effect (in the ps view of course).
What I have misunderstood ?
Thank you very much

A draft mode to forget figures
I am trying to produce a huge doc without figures.
The basic command with latex is
\usepackage[draft]{graphics}.
In that case, i only get a box with the name of the file.
When i try to use it in the latex preambule form LyX, i get an error like
"option package clash"?
Attempts to use \usepackage[,draft]{graphics} instead, as suggested,
just results in the same error (example included).
It seems the clash is related to the following \usepackage instruction
but I don't understand why.
What is going on which I don't understand and what should I do?
Thanks

spellchecker
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hi,
let put here couple of notes (and wishes) for LyX's spellchecker.
First issue is the issue of compounded words. Czech language is
famous for its incredible ability to create compound words by
using literarily hundreds of affixes, suffixes and terminations
(affix is not the same as preposition, which is a separate word
itself). For example the word "nespravedlnost" (see attached
screenshot) is rather simple -- it would be translated
as "unjustice". Affix "ne-" means negation. Simple, similar to
English.
OK, let's take more complicated example. Phrase "b\'yt
na pov\'a\v{z}enou" would be translated as "be a matter
of (great) moment | consequence" (according to dictionary). The
root of the word is "v\'a\v{z}it si" (to hold in (high | low)
regard), which is modified by an affix "po-" which has meaning of
something merely possible not actual and by a termination
"-enou" which is the termination of particular phrase
(accusativ).
Let me remark (for friends of German language), that the Czech
system is this accent _much_ more complicated than German
compound words, which are usually compounded as-is (if I
remember it correctly -- I do not speak German).
Fortunately ispell is able and willing to work correctly with
all this mess (which is really great, taking into account that
it is really better than many commercial wordprocessors).
However, sometime it asks for confirmation, whether it created
composition correctly (see the second attached screenshot of
Emacs working on ispell-buffer). Unfortunately, LyX is not able
to catch this, so that it offers only the non-sensical proposals
(see again first screenshot -- neither of them make any
sense in Czech).
Another, much less important, issue is the impossibility to skip
all-capital words and a possibility to include word in a
personal dictionary lower-case. Both would be nice to have.
What about my comments (I know, it is probably not on short
list)?
Have a nice day
Matej

I tested it with both bibtopic and non bibtopic using LyX-files. It works with no problems. Now it is usable for anyone who wants to produce a splitted bibliography with LyX and the bibtopic-package, which is really very powerful (it is fully compatible with natbib and one more feature is the possibility to produce different bibliographies for chapters (like chapterbib) or seperate topics for not-cited literature). My experiences (in the arts, the human sciences) are, that splitting bibliographies is a thing which can't be missed in a lot of sciences (e.g. in historiography, you have to split your bibliography into at least two topics: sources and literature; the same in literary studies: primary and secondary literature). So I think, it is really a pitty, that LyX doesn't support this possibility by itself (apart from this, it is by far the best document processing tool, as I wrote before - I don't want to miss it). Your script shows, that it is very easy to make LyX compatible with bibtopic, which solves the problem. I think, it would be a good idea to implement your script (or something like this) to coming LyX versions - to make LyX even more powerful! What do you think about it? Greetings and thanks, Juergen.
Footnote doesn't end in the same page.
Hi, I noticed that some footnotes will continue in other pages in footnote area. If there is no footnote in next page, then the footnote will continue from the next page that has footnote. This is not a good thing... Anyone knows how to fix it? I mean force footnote finish in one page no matter how long it is? Thanks.

trying to use this class, but did not find a final result. Has anyone
had any success with this?
Attached are my .lyx file that's failing and the exam.layout that I'm

styles currently look the same, that'll be changed.)

Re: Using bibtopic.sty with LyX?
Hello Herbert, Thank you very much for your instructions to modify the miniscript: > /usr/bin/bibtex $1"1.aux" > /usr/bin/bibtex $1"2.aux" > /usr/bin/bibtex $1"3.aux" > /usr/bin/bibtex $1"4.aux" > ... usw Now the script works excellent and everything is fine -- bibtopic works with LyX !!! I modified the script by myself a little bit: 1.) I added a bibtex run without the bibtopic extensions (on file.aux without the numerical extensions), so that the script can handle other files with "normal" bibliographies (without the use of bibtopic). I tested the script with non-bibtopic files and there were no problems. Bibtopic by itself suppresses the standard bibliography environment (it doesn't use file.aux) 2.) I left the ".aux" extensions, because you don't need them. So the miniscript to use bibtopic with LyX (saved as "bibtex" in ~/bin) looks like this (for four bibliography topics): #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/bibtex $1%% -- starts bibtex /usr/bin/bibtex $1"1"%% -- starts bibtex /usr/bin/bibtex $1"2"%% -- starts bibtex /usr/bin/bibtex $1"3"%% -- ... /usr/bin/bibtex $1"4" Well. I'm very grateful to your help - Thanks again! Now I don't have to miss LyX --- by far the best document processing tool I ever used --- for my work :-) Best wishes, Juergen. P.S.: I changed to English again and added some explains about our discussion, because I sent a copy to the LyX mailing list --- maybe there will be other users who want to use the excellent bibtopic package for their bibliography.
ASCII export loses variables...
Dear all,
I have set up a template document for report writing in which I define
some variables in the Latex preamble eg:-
\newcommand{\us}{Barron McCann Ltd }
\newcommand{\reportdate}{12th October 2000 }
\newcommand{\testdate}{9th - 11th October 2000 }
etc (there are several more)...
This works perfectly for DVI/PS/Latex(hence PDF) output, but when I use
the ASCII export option, the variables used in the text disappear. Is
this a bug, or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Adrian.

Re: ASCII export loses variables...
It is the way LyX works.
LyX doesn't parse the latex preamable it passes it as it is when using
latex output. When doing ascii output all latex code is ignored since LyX
doesn't parse it and doesn't know what can be used in an ascii output and
what cant.
This is something not so trivial, so I don't believe it will appear
anytime soon in a LyX version close to you. Though you might want to try
to code it up yourself :-)

So maybe you can use
LyX: export to dvi and then
dvi2tty to get an ascii output.
Hope it helps.

spellchecker
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hi,
let put here couple of notes (and wishes) for LyX's spellchecker.
First issue is the issue of compounded words. Czech language is
famous for its incredible ability to create compound words by
using literarily hundreds of affixes, suffixes and terminations
(affix is not the same as preposition, which is a separate word
itself). For example the word "nespravedlnost" (see attached
screenshot) is rather simple -- it would be translated
as "unjustice". Affix "ne-" means negation. Simple, similar to
English.
OK, let's take more complicated example. Phrase "b\'yt
na pov\'a\v{z}enou" would be translated as "be a matter
of (great) moment | consequence" (according to dictionary). The
root of the word is "v\'a\v{z}it si" (to hold in (high | low)
regard), which is modified by an affix "po-" which has meaning of
something merely possible not actual and by a termination
"-enou" which is the termination of particular phrase
(accusativ).
Let me remark (for friends of German language), that the Czech
system is this accent _much_ more complicated than German
compound words, which are usually compounded as-is (if I
remember it correctly -- I do not speak German).
Fortunately ispell is able and willing to work correctly with
all this mess (which is really great, taking into account that
it is really better than many commercial wordprocessors).
However, sometime it asks for confirmation, whether it created
composition correctly (see the second attached screenshot of
Emacs working on ispell-buffer). Unfortunately, LyX is not able
to catch this, so that it offers only the non-sensical proposals
(see again first screenshot -- neither of them make any
sense in Czech).
Another, much less important, issue is the impossibility to skip
all-capital words and a possibility to include word in a
personal dictionary lower-case. Both would be nice to have.
What about my comments (I know, it is probably not on short
list)?
Have a nice day
Matej

I tested it with both bibtopic and non bibtopic using LyX-files. It works with no problems. Now it is usable for anyone who wants to produce a splitted bibliography with LyX and the bibtopic-package, which is really very powerful (it is fully compatible with natbib and one more feature is the possibility to produce different bibliographies for chapters (like chapterbib) or seperate topics for not-cited literature). My experiences (in the arts, the human sciences) are, that splitting bibliographies is a thing which can't be missed in a lot of sciences (e.g. in historiography, you have to split your bibliography into at least two topics: sources and literature; the same in literary studies: primary and secondary literature). So I think, it is really a pitty, that LyX doesn't support this possibility by itself (apart from this, it is by far the best document processing tool, as I wrote before - I don't want to miss it). Your script shows, that it is very easy to make LyX compatible with bibtopic, which solves the problem. I think, it would be a good idea to implement your script (or something like this) to coming LyX versions - to make LyX even more powerful! What do you think about it? Greetings and thanks, Juergen.
Footnote doesn't end in the same page.
Hi, I noticed that some footnotes will continue in other pages in footnote area. If there is no footnote in next page, then the footnote will continue from the next page that has footnote. This is not a good thing... Anyone knows how to fix it? I mean force footnote finish in one page no matter how long it is? Thanks.
exam.layout
I'm trying to use examdesign package's exam.cls to build an
exam.layout. The problem is that I keep getting an error about no line
here to end: \end{document}. I saw in the archives that someone was
trying to use this class, but did not find a final result. Has anyone
had any success with this?
Attached are my .lyx file that's failing and the exam.layout that I'm
working on. (There was a lot of cutting and pasting, so all of the
styles currently look the same, that'll be changed.)
