Re: lyc-code and latex2html
Thanks a lot! You saved my day er.. night!!! Changing individual words to typewriter does not work, but applying it to whole paragraphs is running perfectly! I tried to incoperate this in layouts/lyxmacros.inc for Lyx-code but on one hand I cannot set a font for a whole environment and if a change it to a command i have the spaces again because then each paragraph is individually assigned to \lyxcode. Its a pitty. Maybe the Lyx Tex Output for Lyx-Code is ok and latex2html is faulty. Anyway I can happily live with your suggested solution. thanks Manfred - Original Message - From: "Bo Peng" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 3:30 AM Subject: Re: lyc-code and latex2html > On Tue, Nov 26, 2002 at 03:17:39AM +0100, Manfred Wischin wrote: > > How do I make latex2html output lyx-code sections correctly (single > > linespace and typewriter font)? > > When I had the same problem, I turned to quote environment and applied > tt font manually.

lyc-code and latex2html
Hi! How do I make latex2html output lyx-code sections correctly (single linespace and typewriter font)? I spent the last nine hours searching the web, the mailingslist archives, google groups, etc, and tried anything i could think of, but no avail! Maybe i missed something because it seems to me that this problem should be common to everybody writing some technical documentation with lyx. Has anybody got this working? Thanks in advance Manfred
Re: including sections real-time from other files
> all I had to do was change the class of the article-class documents to > book. Then I used "include file"? Anyway, I'm going to take my thesis, Thanks Christian for putting up those files... what I'm trying to do is to have my three documents double up as articles and as chapters in a book.. so that if I decided to print them out separately, they would look like articles and if I decided to print out the whole thing together then it would look like a book.. in more practical terms, the article-class documents are papers that can be published and when these papers are put together, they form a thesis.. So the only difference between the above and what you have in your files is that in the latter, if I try to print out each document separately, I will get "Chapter 1" and sections 1.x on each article-class document.. what I'd like to see is each one as a stand alone article... I guess one way is to change the book class for each document to article class before printing or so.. any other way(s)? Thanks, nirmal
page stype at beginning of chapter.
Hi all,
Hope someone can give me a hint about the following:
I use amsbook style, and have a fancyheader with some graphics in the preamble.
Looks allright, but on every first page of a chapter, ir defines:
\thispagestyle{plain}
in amsbook.cls, but I also want my fancyheader on the first pages of the chapter.
How can I do that without editing amsbook.cls (I tried, but it mixed up everything).
Cheers,
Jeroen.
Thank you!
Thanks all

Figure numbering problem
I am trying to number my Figures continuously through an article-type document which has several numbered sections. The Figure captions are numbered correctly 1,2,3... But if I reference the figures in the text I get numbers like 1.1,2.1,2.2 etc. where the first number is the section and the second is the sequence of the figure within the section. Any ideas how to fix this? On a related note... Is there an easy way to get figure captions to be flush left? I saw the code on Herbert Voss's page. Anything else? Does caption2.sty or ccaption.sty include such options? Thanks, Steve Stephen G. Buonopane Dept. of Civil Engineering 207 Latrobe Hall Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, MD 21218

lost path
What I really HATE are those errors coming and going without reason
(it happens with my car engine too, sometimes...)
I don't understand TeX, doesnt want to, and thats why I use LyX.
I had to curse the heavens to install the bloody Revtex4 package, God knows
how but I made it.
I wrote a whole article with it. Now, 2 days after - not having done anything
I swear to my TeX install - I got some 10 errors when viewing it postscript.
Then I notice the dreaded:
... Package graphics Error: No driver specified ...
saying that I need a graphics.cfg file.
Yet a file /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/config/graphics.cfg exists! Well, I try
creating a graphics.cfg file in my doc directory, with \ExecuteOptions{dvips}
inside
Then again I get an error saying that dvips.def cannot be found - yet it is in
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/dvips.def .
I copy it in the doc directory,
and finally
it works
Now:
what exactly happened?
I swear I didnt change anything, why I had to do all this kinda steps???
I got the impression that somehow TeX/Latex/LyX didnt know exactly the paths
anymore, but that's just an impression ...
any idea? I'd hate to follow again all those steps...
thanks
Alessandro

Claus Hentschel recommended to write to this mailing list, because he doesn't know what is wrong. The problem is I can't start the LyX port for Windows. I'm using XP (MikTeX, X-Win32), and when I try to start LyX, I get the following error message: LyX: Creating directory /cygdrive/d/home/.lyx/ and running configure... grep: writing output: Bad file descriptor grep: writing output: Bad file descriptor [... same grep-Message 70times repeated] grep: writing output: Bad file descriptor grep: write error: Bad file descriptor LyX: Done!

If I start LyX again, then I only get the following error message XIO: fatal IO error 113 (Connection aborted) on X server "192.168.0.1:0.0" after 373 requests (370 known processed) with 0 events remaining. The connection to the X-server is ok, because if I start with no present home-directory, I get a window within the X-server saying that the user directory cannot be created. I tried everything, I started Windows in "secure modus"; I copied the files from a working Win' 98 Lyx (which has the same file structure) to XP (same error), I installed LyX, MikTeX and Cygwin several times, I installed it to Win XP of my neighbour (it works there without a problem). Now I don't have any idea, what I can try to get it working :-( What does the error code 113 mean? Attached is the output of cygcheck. Maybe there's something wrong with environment variables, but before lyx starts, it sets the following variables in lyxprofile: export HOME="/cygdrive/d/Home" Obvious maybe, but do you have d drive?
