Richard == Richard A Bilonick [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Richard Removing the extra periods allows the graphic to render. Good to know. Richard I hope this will be fixed eventually because it will be very Richard inconvenient not to be able to use periods to make the file Richard names more readable. With hundreds of files, it is difficult Richard to keep track of them with dos-like names. This is fixed in 1.2.2cvs, so this bug will be gone in 1.2.2. JMarc

Re: removing date from article class
Hi,
In connection to this question, I have had a question to ask
for quite some time now. I'm writing my thesis using the Report
class and how do I avoid the date appearing with the Title. As
of now I can see a Title, author followed by the current date.
Thank You,
Koundinya

Easiest way is to put \date{} in ERT in the date environment... i.e., on
the next line after author, select Date from the drop down box on the
left corner, hit Ctrl-L, type in \date{} (it'll appear in red) and then

troubles converting to pdf
I tried to convert my Ph.D. to pdf, using ae and aecompl to get vector cm fonts. I'm using the book class and I've got no problem when exporting to ps. However, when exporting to pdf, I've got three problems: - Whenever my document contains a completely blank page, acroread complains There was an error processing this page. The page contents object has the wrong type. This only happens in windows, acroread in linux doesn't complain. - when converting to pdf, I've got the message dvips: Warning: missing glyph `guillemotleft' dvips: Warning: missing glyph `guillemotright' ... And the french double quotes and don't display in the pdf file. - all pages are shifted a few centimeters towards the bottom of the page. Things near the bottom jump out of the page.

Re: New More Serious Problems with 1.2.1 - Partial Printing - Bad PS Generated by LyX??
Well, if I am mistaken, GV needs the ghostscript to display anything. So if gv works fine then you probably not passing the right parameters to the ghostview when printing. The similiar problem happens to me due to a bad EPS figure I included. Try remove the recently added figures and see it that helps. Figure out which figure that causes the problem, and do something about it. One other thing, if you recently updated or changed configuration of gs/gv/printer, you probably messed up something. If still not working, post the document. There are people who can help. Max --- Richard A.

Pb with lists
Hello, I think I have found a bug with lists+minipages. Use this sample lyx file under lyx-1.1.6fix4. Go to the first item, open the paragraph pop up and check minipage, set the width to 50%. When you do a view ps, it works fine. Do a undo. Try to view ps and latex gives a lot of error. To correct the file, you must go to the second item of the list, open the paragraph popup and uncheck minipage. Your sincerely, Yann COLLETTE #LyX 1.1 created this file.

The solution is to use \nolbreaks{First M. Last}, and add

There is a simpler way to disable hyphenation:

This can be done for only one paragraph: write \hyphenpenalty=1 at the

It is also possible to disable hyphenation for specific words:
\hyphenation{foo} will disable hyphenation for the word foo.

Re: New More Serious Problems with 1.2.1 - Solved!
OK, I elimanted the unnecessary text. It's not the fonts nor is it the eps file itself. The LyX code written by LyX appears to be incorrect. I changed the LyX code so that all three graphs have the same specs. I tried first to do this using LyX and it's graph menus. For some reason, LyX would not change the specs directly. So I went in by hand and edited them. Now I can view and print in both ps and pdf. I'm not sure why the difference caused a Postscript error nor why LyX would not change them via it's menus.

to the FAQ.lyx now I just need to figure out how to get it to
the documentation team's attention.
### code snippet about how to get rid of the date...
\layout Subsubsection
How do I get rid of the date under the title?
\layout Standard
One solution is to open the menu
\family sans
Layout\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Preamble
\family default
and add write the line
\layout LyX-Code
\backslash
date{}
\layout Standard
in the preamble window.
### end of code snippet.

Hi!
How do I change the spacing above and below when I use 'Quote', when I look in the command reference I just see that you can begin and end a quote.
The question seems stupid, but I cannot find the answer myself, sorry.
Cheers,

What about Layout-Paragraph and then change vertical spacing above and
below the paragraph?
/Christian
That would work, but if you want all your quote environments to behave
the same way, you could try something in the preamble using \topsep
(which sets the space above the first item in a list and below the last
item). This might do what you want:
\renewenvironment{quote}{\setlength{\topsep}{2\baselineskip}}
The 2 here can be replaced by any number (as a multiple of the
baselineskip for whatever document class you are using).

I don't value the suggested nesting pratice (see template on tipstricks) since you spend a lot of time with nesting and inserting empty lines. I also got a lot f error msg. The slides.cls doesn't provide enough env. for my case. What I did: I wrote the article on which my presenation will be baseed on first and then saved it as a new file. In that file I changed the doc class to seminar and put the page to landscape. I now have a good basis for the presentation on which I only need to do some fine-tuning like pic, headlines etc. Hi I did some presentations with LyX and FoilTeX, which worked ok for simple stuff. Then I tried PowerPoint once (never again, spent too much time fiddling), Star Office once or twice (couldn't get nice equations) and then went back to LyX with something called Prosper. That seems enough for me anyway. At this URL you can find my latest presentation created with LyX/Prosper http://www.md.kth.se/~chr/lyx/presentation/ It's there both in .lyx-format and in .pdf, so you can see both what it looks like and what the code's like. Very pretty - I think I'll try Prosper. I've used OpenOffice Impress and it's OK, but still too fiddly (using LyX has spoiled me, I guess - I expect things to look right first time!). As for Powerpoint, it's an invitation to Aesthetic Hell. If I have to sit through another presentation with puce backgrounds and bouncing letters, I think I'll scream.

Welsh. separation == hyphenation. ... as long as there is no Welsh

I guess the idea is to fool the hyphenation by asking for a language it
does not understand. Welsh seems to be the typical example for that trick
;-)
There is a simpler way to disable hyphenation:
\hyphenpenalty=1.
This can be done for only one paragraph: write \hyphenpenalty=1 at the
before the paragraph, and \hyphenpenalty=50 after it.
It is also possible to disable hyphenation for specific words:
\hyphenation{foo} will disable hyphenation for the word foo.
I don't think using ERT is easier then setting the language via GUI.
Especially if you look at the start of the thread.

Well, if I am mistaken, GV needs the ghostscript to display anything. So if gv works fine then you probably not passing the right parameters to the ghostview when printing. The similiar problem happens to me due to a bad EPS figure I included. Try remove the recently added figures and see it that helps.

Pb with lists
Hello, I think I have found a bug with lists+minipages. Use this sample lyx file under lyx-1.1.6fix4. Go to the first item, open the paragraph pop up and check minipage, set the width to 50%. When you do a view ps, it works fine. Do a undo. Try to view ps and latex gives a lot of error. To correct the file, you must go to the second item of the list, open the paragraph popup and uncheck minipage. Your sincerely, Yann COLLETTE #LyX 1.1 created this file.

Hi,
I'm just learing to use LyX, so I'm sorry if this is a bit of a gumby

contents, figures and tables, the page numbers begin from the start of
the table of contents. I would like them to start at the beginning of
the introduction. Further, I wish to number my title page, abstract and
tables of contents, figures and tables with lower case roman numerals.
I have tried the LaTeX command
\pagenumbering

\renewcommand\thepage{roman}
and this didn't work either.
Any tips?

I'm not a lyx guru, but my thesis is using what you want.
\pagenumbering{roman} at the beginning or in the preamble, and

You are correct.
The solution is to use \nolbreaks{First M. Last}, and add

Another solution is to write First~M.~Last (using protected spaces),

Now of course when I put the problem file in a separate LyX document, it
produces a postscript view and a pdf view. The large document, however,
still will not print or view page 9. I can send you the problem eps but,
unfortunately, I can't send the 20 page LyX document. The problem
appears to be in the larger LyX document and not the eps file itself.
I'm using the lscape package (in the preamble) with

remove this, however, the problem eps still won't print or view.

I guess the idea is to fool the hyphenation by asking for a language it

;-)
There is a simpler way to disable hyphenation:
\hyphenpenalty=1.
This can be done for only one paragraph: write \hyphenpenalty=1 at the
before the paragraph, and \hyphenpenalty=50 after it.
It is also possible to disable hyphenation for specific words:
\hyphenation{foo} will disable hyphenation for the word foo.
