Re: New stable release of tex2pdf 3.1
hi, i guess this question is not that unique, but there appear to be too many answers and not all of them perfect! my situation is this: * i want to maintain ONLY a .lyx file and the associated .eps figures * want to autogenerate (using a Makefile?) a postscript file, a pdf file and html documentation from this lyx source. * figures must appear in all the output formats * links must also work in the html output, would be nice if they worked in the pdf output too (eg linked references, table of contents) * equations and complicated structures should appear in all formats - even if they are represented by a bitmap (eg html) I've tried various combinations and various options and none seem perfect. i'm a little confused. there appears to be three pdf export options in lyx. some options have the figures missing. some options produce one html file, command line options produce a directory with images in it (this is good as it works). there appear to be more than one path from lyx to a target: lyx-texpdf or lyx-tex-dvi-pdf... as someone new to lyx (but not to computing in general), i must say i'm left a little confused as to which options are the best for which scenarios. i'd be grateful for any clarifying comments and recommendations. which is the path from lyx to pdf which gives the best results? why doesn't export to html work well from the lyx menu, but does from the command line... i'm sure others are also in a similar position where they want high quality outputs from a single lyx (+ .eps) source. i'm using lyx 1.2 on mandrake 8.2 thanks tariq intY has scanned this email for all known viruses (www.inty.com)
url in html
Hi
I recently tried to use lyx to generate some uncomplex html
pages. Ran into what appears to be a known but unfixed bug getting
URL's to appear as links in my html.
It still seems to be there with cvs 1_2_x lyx and latest latex2html.
this appears to have been discussed but I have not seen posted a
useable solution yet.Here is a workaround, improvements welcome.
Problem appears to be lyx outputs a \IfFileExists command which
latex2html does not understand. The edit is trivial but not automated.
A workaround is a tiny perl script as inlined later called noexist.
make it executeable, put it somewhere in your search path
then within lyx edit your
preferences = conversion = converters = LaTeX-HTML
add to the start of the converter command
noexist $$i ;
prior to the latex2html, right at the start of the line.
modify/apply/save that.
then html export works for me with URL's.
john
# Script noexist
#!/usr/bin/perl
# touchup TeX prior to latex2html

Lyx-1.2 problem/glitch
I built and installed Lyx-1.2 (linux) on my Mandrake 8.2 system. All is fine except for one thing, in the math panel, there are 4 buttons that are blank/don't display any symbol/icon to indicate what it contains. The affected buttons include top row second button, top row third button, second row first button, third row second and third buttons. The others are OK. If I select any of the blank buttons, the symbols contained display OK so it is only affecting the math panel buttons themselves. How might I go about fixing this? praedor

Question on Koma-script environment
Hi all,
I'm using the scrbook class. One of the features I like about it is the
possibility to use \addchap and such to include unnumbered chapters in
the ToC. What I haven't been able to find is an environment that does
the same for parts. Does it exist?
I had solved the problem by using the following:
\addcontentsline{part}{Appendices}
\part*{Appendices}
The problem with this is that when I run tex2pdf on the file, the
Appendices part isn't included in the PDF bookmarks. Therefore my
bookmarks look like this:
Final remarks
Conclusions
...
Appendix A
Appendix B
...
Instead of the following (what I'd like):
Final remarks
Conclusions
...
Appendices
Appendix A
Appendix B
...
Any ideas?
TIA,
Roberto

Thank you. I have added to the preamble and am reading the pdf for fancy. I
do not want any decorative lines in the header, however. The above commands
added to my preamble placed the page number where I needed it (top right) but
it also added a header line. Reading the fancy pdf, it indicates that the
command \headerulewidth 0.4pt would set a nice line of .4 pt width across
the header. Looking at the preamble in Lyx, I see no \headrulewidth entry at
all - so I added it by modeling the example for \footrulewidth 0 pt on the
same page: \headrulewidth 0 pt. What this gives me when I seek to preview
a ps image of the paper is an error message box in my lyx document.
Where is the cryptic \headrulewidth command being called and used? The
command syntax in the pdf is incorrect since it produces an error when
processing the lyx document?
Thank you,

Figure caption problem in lyx 1.2

how to tell LyX that I'm using LARGE as default font?

code in the Preamble.
%% The poster uses larger than normal text
\renewcommand{\small}{\large}
\renewcommand{\normalsize}{\LARGE}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{cmss}
Needless to say, I end up with LARGE previews when I come to view this in
LyX 1.3cvs. (For those of you who don't use 1.3cvs, then you have a treat
awaiting you ;-)
My question, however, is a LaTeX one. Is there a better way than my ugly
hack to use LARGE as the default font size and to let LyX know about it?

run the latex command from the keybard it
produces a .dvi file which displays exactly what
I would expect.

Re: New stable release of tex2pdf 3.1
hi, i guess this question is not that unique, but there appear to be too many answers and not all of them perfect! my situation is this: * i want to maintain ONLY a .lyx file and the associated .eps figures * want to autogenerate (using a Makefile?) a postscript file, a pdf file and html documentation from this lyx source. * figures must appear in all the output formats * links must also work in the html output, would be nice if they worked in the pdf output too (eg linked references, table of contents) * equations and complicated structures should appear in all formats - even if they are represented by a bitmap (eg html) I've tried various combinations and various options and none seem perfect. i'm a little confused. there appears to be three pdf export options in lyx. some options have the figures missing. some options produce one html file, command line options produce a directory with images in it (this is good as it works). there appear to be more than one path from lyx to a target: lyx-texpdf or lyx-tex-dvi-pdf... as someone new to lyx (but not to computing in general), i must say i'm left a little confused as to which options are the best for which scenarios. i'd be grateful for any clarifying comments and recommendations. which is the path from lyx to pdf which gives the best results? why doesn't export to html work well from the lyx menu, but does from the command line... i'm sure others are also in a similar position where they want high quality outputs from a single lyx (+ .eps) source. i'm using lyx 1.2 on mandrake 8.2 thanks tariq intY has scanned this email for all known viruses (www.inty.com)
url in html
Hi
I recently tried to use lyx to generate some uncomplex html
pages. Ran into what appears to be a known but unfixed bug getting
URL's to appear as links in my html.
It still seems to be there with cvs 1_2_x lyx and latest latex2html.
this appears to have been discussed but I have not seen posted a
useable solution yet.Here is a workaround, improvements welcome.
Problem appears to be lyx outputs a \IfFileExists command which
latex2html does not understand. The edit is trivial but not automated.
A workaround is a tiny perl script as inlined later called noexist.
make it executeable, put it somewhere in your search path
then within lyx edit your
preferences = conversion = converters = LaTeX-HTML
add to the start of the converter command
noexist $$i ;
prior to the latex2html, right at the start of the line.
modify/apply/save that.
then html export works for me with URL's.

Lyx-1.2 problem/glitch

All is fine except for one thing, in the math panel, there are 4 buttons that are blank/don't display any symbol/icon to indicate what it contains. The affected buttons include top row second button, top row third button, second row first button, third row second and third buttons. The others are OK.

Question on Koma-script environment
Hi all,
I'm using the scrbook class. One of the features I like about it is the
possibility to use \addchap and such to include unnumbered chapters in
the ToC. What I haven't been able to find is an environment that does
the same for parts. Does it exist?
I had solved the problem by using the following:
\addcontentsline{part}{Appendices}
\part*{Appendices}
The problem with this is that when I run tex2pdf on the file, the
Appendices part isn't included in the PDF bookmarks. Therefore my
bookmarks look like this:
Final remarks
Conclusions
...
Appendix A
Appendix B
...
Instead of the following (what I'd like):
Final remarks
Conclusions
...
Appendices
Appendix A
Appendix B
...
Any ideas?
TIA,
Roberto

Thank you. I have added to the preamble and am reading the pdf for fancy. I
do not want any decorative lines in the header, however. The above commands
added to my preamble placed the page number where I needed it (top right) but
it also added a header line. Reading the fancy pdf, it indicates that the
command \headerulewidth 0.4pt would set a nice line of .4 pt width across
the header. Looking at the preamble in Lyx, I see no \headrulewidth entry at
all - so I added it by modeling the example for \footrulewidth 0 pt on the
same page: \headrulewidth 0 pt. What this gives me when I seek to preview
a ps image of the paper is an error message box in my lyx document.
Where is the cryptic \headrulewidth command being called and used? The
command syntax in the pdf is incorrect since it produces an error when
processing the lyx document?
Thank you,

Greek
Help
I am trying to produce a document in Greek.
I expected that it would simply work if I selected greek
as the language in the Layout - Document - Language.
Then typed as usual.
But the View-DVI produces the error:
Undefined control sequence:
\initiate@activechar{^^9f}
If I export the document to LaTeX, and then
run the latex command from the keybard it
produces a .dvi file which displays exactly what
I would expect.
What am I doing wrong in LyX?

Unfortunately, it can't convert RTF to LaTeX. Do you know about gnu unrtf? UnRTF is a moderately complicated converter from RTF to other formats, including HTML, LaTeX, text, and PostScript. Converting to HTML, it supports tables, fonts, colors, embedded images, hyperlinks, paragraph alignment among other things. All other conversions are "alpha"--just begun.

Re: New stable release of tex2pdf 3.1
hi, i guess this question is not that unique, but there appear to be too many answers and not all of them perfect! my situation is this: * i want to maintain ONLY a .lyx file and the associated .eps figures * want to autogenerate (using a Makefile?) a postscript file, a pdf file and html documentation from this lyx source. * figures must appear in all the output formats * links must also work in the html output, would be nice if they worked in the pdf output too (eg linked references, table of contents) * equations and complicated structures should appear in all formats - even if they are represented by a bitmap (eg html) I've tried various combinations and various options and none seem perfect. i'm a little confused. there appears to be three pdf export options in lyx. some options have the figures missing. some options produce one html file, command line options produce a directory with images in it (this is good as it works). there appear to be more than one path from lyx to a target: lyx->tex>pdf or lyx->tex->dvi->pdf... as someone new to lyx (but not to computing in general), i must say i'm left a little confused as to which options are the best for which scenarios. i'd be grateful for any clarifying comments and recommendations. which is the path from lyx to pdf which gives the best results? why doesn't export to html work well from the lyx menu, but does from the command line... i'm sure others are also in a similar position where they want high quality outputs from a single lyx (+ .eps) source. i'm using lyx 1.2 on mandrake 8.2 thanks tariq intY has scanned this email for all known viruses (www.inty.com)
url in html
Hi
I recently tried to use lyx to generate some uncomplex html
pages. Ran into what appears to be a known but unfixed bug getting
URL's to appear as links in my html.
It still seems to be there with cvs 1_2_x lyx and latest latex2html.
this appears to have been discussed but I have not seen posted a
useable solution yet.Here is a workaround, improvements welcome.
Problem appears to be lyx outputs a \IfFileExists command which
latex2html does not understand. The edit is trivial but not automated.
A workaround is a tiny perl script as inlined later called noexist.
make it executeable, put it somewhere in your search path
then within lyx edit your
preferences => conversion => converters => LaTeX->HTML
add to the start of the converter command
noexist $$i ;
prior to the latex2html, right at the start of the line.
modify/apply/save that.
then html export works for me with URL's.

Lyx-1.2 problem/glitch
I built and installed Lyx-1.2 (linux) on my Mandrake 8.2 system. All is fine except for one thing, in the math panel, there are 4 buttons that are blank/don't display any symbol/icon to indicate what it "contains". The affected buttons include top row second button, top row third button, second row first button, third row second and third buttons. The others are OK. If I select any of the blank buttons, the symbols contained display OK so it is only affecting the math panel buttons themselves. How might I go about fixing this? praedor

Question on Koma-script environment
Hi all,
I'm using the scrbook class. One of the features I like about it is the
possibility to use "\addchap" and such to include unnumbered chapters in
the ToC. What I haven't been able to find is an environment that does
the same for parts. Does it exist?
I had solved the problem by using the following:
\addcontentsline{part}{Appendices}
\part*{Appendices}
The problem with this is that when I run tex2pdf on the file, the
"Appendices" part isn't included in the PDF bookmarks. Therefore my
bookmarks look like this:
Final remarks
Conclusions
...
Appendix A
Appendix B
...
Instead of the following (what I'd like):
Final remarks
Conclusions
...
Appendices
Appendix A
Appendix B
...
Any ideas?
TIA,
Roberto

Yes, it exists (at least in the most recent version): \addpart Unfortunately, the LyX templates for KOMA are *way* behind the possibilities of the KOMA-classes, especially regarding the recent two releases (cf. the 232 [sic!] pages of the new scrguide).

Thank you. I have added to the preamble and am reading the pdf for fancy. I
do not want any decorative lines in the header, however. The above commands
added to my preamble placed the page number where I needed it (top right) but
it also added a header line. Reading the fancy pdf, it indicates that the
command "\headerulewidth 0.4pt" would set a nice line of .4 pt width across
the header. Looking at the preamble in Lyx, I see no \headrulewidth entry at
all - so I added it by modeling the example for "\footrulewidth 0 pt" on the
same page: "\headrulewidth 0 pt". What this gives me when I seek to preview
a ps image of the paper is an error message box in my lyx document.
Where is the cryptic \headrulewidth command being called and used? The
command syntax in the pdf is incorrect since it produces an error when
processing the lyx document?
Thank you,
praedor

Figure caption problem in lyx 1.2
Upgrading from lyx 1.1.6 to 1.2 had severe impact on the layout of my thesis. In Version 1.1.6 I used minipages to put the figure captions beside the figure. It was simple and worked nice ! I have noticed that the "paragraph layout" popup menu has changed in Version 1.2 in sofar that minipages cannot be chosen by pressing the extra buttion (as it was in Version1.1.6) in the paragraph layout menu. In 1.2. I have tried to use the "sidefig.sty" for positioning the captions, but I do not like it very much and I have not found a way to insert cross-reference marks. Does anybody have an easy solution for this problem ? (I do not want to reweite the whole thing!) Thanks in advance, Leondios

how to tell LyX that I'm using LARGE as default font?
I have just written a poster (with LyX 1.2.1cvs) that has the following
code in the Preamble.
%% The poster uses larger than normal text
\renewcommand{\small}{\large}
\renewcommand{\normalsize}{\LARGE}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{cmss}
Needless to say, I end up with LARGE previews when I come to view this in
LyX 1.3cvs. (For those of you who don't use 1.3cvs, then you have a treat
awaiting you ;-)
My question, however, is a LaTeX one. Is there a better way than my ugly
hack to use LARGE as the default font size and to let LyX know about it?
Ditto with familydefault?

Angus

Check it out at http://www-hep.colorado.edu/~fperez/lyxport. Note however that tex2pdf is _much_ more sophisticated than lyxport in its handling of complex documents. Ideally the remainder functionality of lyxport which is not in tex2pdf could be merged in, but unfortunately I'm not maintaining actively lyxport anymore. But it works for me in most cases just fine, so give it a go. It might be good enough for the documents you deal with. Cheers, f.

Greek
Help
I am trying to produce a document in Greek.
I expected that it would simply work if I selected greek
as the language in the Layout -> Document -> Language.
Then typed as usual.
But the View->DVI produces the error:
Undefined control sequence:
\initiate@active@char{^^9f}
If I export the document to LaTeX, and then
run the latex command from the keybard it
produces a .dvi file which displays exactly what
I would expect.
What am I doing wrong in LyX?
