Re: Problems with Meta_L in Danish keyboard (Windows)

  Hi Goffredo,
  
  Thanks for trying, but I am afraid that that is not it. My left Alt 
  is in shifted mode mapped to Meta_L, but when I try to invoke it (from 
  LyX), by for example pressing Shift+Alt+X (to get into the minibuffer), 
  nothing happens If you have more ideas, pls don't hesitate.

Re: paragraph groups, empty lines

Vinay Hi LyX users, in Rapportagetechniek (reporting technique,

Vinay Some paragraphs have more to do with another than others. Those
Vinay you have to group, that is, use no empty space between them,
Vinay but ident each new paragraph in that group. You separate those
Vinay from others with empty space and of course the new line after
Vinay this empty space had no ident.

Vinay Currently, I can choose to either have an empty line every time
Vinay I press enter, or I have an ident every new line and of course
Vinay no empty line, but I can not get both in the same document
Vinay without adding a header. Does LaTeX not support the kind of
Vinay typesetting they taught me, or can I modify something in LyX?
Vinay What I would like to do, is to be able to give a double enter,
Vinay which should give me a empty line, but currently does the same
Vinay as giving only one enter.

Strangely enough, there is a function in lyx that does just what you
want :)

If you are at the beginning of an empty paragraph, type M-x, and then
break-paragraph-skipenter. This function is not bound to any key,
but is intended to be a replacement for break-paragraph (which is
normally bound to enter).

If you have a personal bind file, you can add
  \bind Return break-paragraph-skip
  \bind Backspace backspace-skip
and you will have just the behaviour you expect.

The skip which is inserted can be controlled in the LayoutDocument

Been there, done that.  When you use the view commands, LyX creates a 
temp directory, writes out a TeX file (and I think stores copies of the 
figures there), processes it through LaTeX and passes it to the viewer of 
choice.  Assuming you exit LyX gracefully, on its way out the door it 
cleans up that directory.

you use the File | Export menu item to export to Postscript, it does the 
same thing (temp directory, run LaTeX, run the DVI file through dvips), 
but then copies the Postscript output file to your working directory.  
The problem is that the PS file contains links to the copies of the 
graphics files that were in the temp directory (and presumably have since 
been purged), not to the figure files in your working directory.  In 
contrast, when you export a LaTeX file, there doesn't seem to be any 
processing, hence no temp directory, hence the links point to the 
original graphics files.

Regarding ps2pdf options, try Edit | Preferences, click the Conversion 
tab, then the Converters tab, then Postscript-PDF and fiddle with the 
Converter box.  (This works in LyX 1.2.2, but I'm pretty sure it's 
unchanged from 1.1.6.)

Does XWin32 come with a reasonably complete set of X utility programs?  
(I switched away from XWin32 a few years back, and I've forgotten what it 
had.)  If so, just to double check, please open an xterm window and type 
'xmodmap -pm'. There should be a line saying 'mod1  Alt-L (0x40), Alt-R 
(0x71)'.  If not, then your XWin32 setup is the problem.

If XWin32 doesn't have an xterm command (or doesn't have xmodmap), 
perhaps you could crank up XWin32, then telnet to a Unix/Linux box, open 
an xterm on your PC from that remote server, and run xmodmap from the 
remote server.

I'm not positive, but I don't think the alternative keyboard files in LyX 
allow you to remap the Meta keys themselves, so XWin32 is the logical 
suspect.

Been there, done that.  When you use the view commands, LyX creates a 
temp directory, writes out a TeX file (and I think stores copies of the 
figures there), processes it through LaTeX and passes it to the viewer of 
choice.  Assuming you exit LyX gracefully, on its way out the door it 
cleans up that directory.

you use the File | Export menu item to export to Postscript, it does the 
same thing (temp directory, run LaTeX, run the DVI file through dvips), 
but then copies the Postscript output file to your working directory.  
The problem is that the PS file contains links to the copies of the 
graphics files that were in the temp directory (and presumably have since 
been purged), not to the figure files in your working directory.  In 
contrast, when you export a LaTeX file, there doesn't seem to be any 
processing, hence no temp directory, hence the links point to the 
original graphics files.

Regarding ps2pdf options, try Edit | Preferences, click the Conversion 
tab, then the Converters tab, then Postscript-PDF and fiddle with the 
Converter box.  (This works in LyX 1.2.2, but I'm pretty sure it's 
unchanged from 1.1.6.)

If XWin32 doesn't have an xterm command (or doesn't have xmodmap), 
perhaps you could crank up XWin32, then telnet to a Unix/Linux box, open

I am waiting for a sign from Kayvan, who is trying to coordinate an

Strangely enough, there is a function in lyx that does just what you
want :)

If you are at the beginning of an empty paragraph, type M-x, and then
"break-paragraph-skip". This function is not bound to any key,
but is intended to be a replacement for break-paragraph (which is
normally bound to ).

If you have a personal bind file, you can add
  \bind "Return" "break-paragraph-skip"
  \bind "Backspace" "backspace-skip"
and you will have just the behaviour you expect.

The skip which is inserted can be controlled in the Layout>Document
dialog.

Hope this helps.

I believe that some journals prefer that you number only those equations 
refered to elsewhere.  Personally, I prefer to number just those 
equations; it seems to make the paper a bit cleaner.

If you are submitting to a journal, check their author instructions 
(always a good idea in any case).  If the instructions are silent on this 
question, then either approach should be ok.
