There are two attempts to make TeX behave with UTF-8 (aside from Omega,
which IMHO still not fully mature):
- LaTeX3 development team created support for UTF-8 for inputenc,
- Petr Ol\v{s}\'ak (yes, he is my fellow Czech) extended his encTeX to
UTF-8 (i.e., it is support for UTF-8 on the level of input/output
processor of TeX, so everything works as it should). His webpage is
petr.olsak.net/enctex.html (previous version -- w/o UTF-8 -- was
described in his article for Tugboat, which should be available on
www.tex.org and if I am not mistaken also on
ftp://math.feld.cvut.cz/pub/olsak/enctex/encdoc.pdf).
However, both of these attempts are very bleeding edge of development.
encTeX should be part of the next web2c (promise made in February and
AFAIK there is still not new release), and I am not quite sure whether
UTF-8 support for inputenc made it to new LaTeX yet. So I am afraid, we
cannot much rely on it.

optional arguments in math. how to?
Hello,
I've just been trying use the command \xrightarrow with it optional
argument, e.g.
\[ leftside \xright[down]{up} rightside \]
Is it possible to do this (and in general use optional arguments in
math/display mode)? I've tried writing it as regular text (without the
\[ and \]) and turning it to a math/display mode. I've also tried to
insert it manually in the .lyx file, but to no avail.
I did manage to use it in an ERT box, but I would rather not write the
whole equation that way.
If it is indeed imposible, might it be better if there was an option
within math mode to enter pure latex, without Lyx helping in the
middle. Something like the ERT box in the regular text. I think (if I
remember correctly) that it was possible in earlier version 1.1.6 (or so).
Thanks for any help,
Amir.

I'm using Lyx 1.2.1 (Xforms)

Lyx seems to behave in a strange and counter-intuitive manner, i can't figure out if this these are bugs or a feautres. 1) In the program menubar (File, Edit, Insert, Layout...) when i select a tab (for example: Edit) and then try to select the next tab (in this case: Insert) the mouse pointer becomes a double arrow pointing right ( something like = ) and when i left-click, nothing happens. It seems like i must click in some certain positions of the tab to select it (bottom right?) I'm using KDE 2.2.2 with QT 2.3.1 (from debian testing). 2) When i click File-Revert, i'm asked if i want to save the modified file first! This is useless if not dangerous! I'm using Lyx 1.3.2.

Anyway, dead cat territory,
Best kind. :-) (I'm a dog person.)
I tried from the command line lyx -dbg
3 and everything works. Himm. However lyx behaves the same
as double clicking the .exe. Making a shortcut with the -dbg 3
switch also doesn't work (It has read the -dbg 3 switch as the helpful
shell window appears).
Well, that's unusually peculiar, even by Windows standards. You're
saying that 'lyx -dbg 3' on a command line works (meaning latex runs when
you View-DVI), but lyx on a command line (without the arguments) can't
get latex to run properly?
For the shortcut, did you put the '-dbg 3' on the target line of the
shortcut ('path\lyx.exe -dbg 3' all on one line)? And does the shortcut
start in the same directory in which you were opening the command window?
(Not that I think that would account for the systems, but when fishing I
favor a big net.)
The shortcut (with the debug options) behaving differently from the
command line (with debug options) might suggest either a difference in
the environment variables the two are using or a difference in what
account is running the program (assuming you're in a multiuser version of
Windows that cares about user accounts -- I don't think you specified
your OS version), but that would not explain why lyx on the command line
without debug options would fail. The debug options making a difference
on the command line might mean that something is missing (or ignored) in
the environment that is being supplied internally (or paid attention to)
in debug mode, but that wouldn't explain the shortcut failing.
Best bet is probably to ask Ruurd Reitsma about it.
What happens if you make shortcut run a batch file that starts LyX in
debug mode? Any joy on the viewing?

Anyway, dead cat territory,
Best kind. :-) (I'm a dog person.)
I tried from the command line lyx -dbg
3 and everything works. Himm. However lyx behaves the same
as double clicking the .exe. Making a shortcut with the -dbg 3
switch also doesn't work (It has read the -dbg 3 switch as the helpful
shell window appears).
Well, that's unusually peculiar, even by Windows standards. You're
saying that 'lyx -dbg 3' on a command line works (meaning latex runs when
you View-DVI), but lyx on a command line (without the arguments) can't
get latex to run properly?
For the shortcut, did you put the '-dbg 3' on the target line of the
shortcut ('path\lyx.exe -dbg 3' all on one line)? And does the shortcut
start in the same directory in which you were opening the command window?
(Not that I think that would account for the systems, but when fishing I
favor a big net.)
The shortcut (with the debug options) behaving differently from the
command line (with debug options) might suggest either a difference in
the environment variables the two are using or a difference in what
account is running the program (assuming you're in a multiuser version of
Windows that cares about user accounts -- I don't think you specified
your OS version), but that would not explain why lyx on the command line
without debug options would fail. The debug options making a difference
on the command line might mean that something is missing (or ignored) in
the environment that is being supplied internally (or paid attention to)
in debug mode, but that wouldn't explain the shortcut failing.
Best bet is probably to ask Ruurd Reitsma about it.
What happens if you make shortcut run a batch file that starts LyX in
debug mode? Any joy on the viewing?

LyX with LaTeX Error
Howdy, (new to the list - and a new user of LyX - great program btw!) I'm having a problem including any sort of graphics in a document.

Try typing return to proceed. I know this is a LaTeX error, but it's complaining about the code LyX sends it. I've since reinstalled teTeX, and LyX, and still no help. I get this error on a *new* document, with nothing but an image it in. I've tried all sorts of images (eps, png, jpg, etc.) and still get it. I'm at a loss of what it could be.

There are two attempts to make TeX behave with UTF-8 (aside from Omega,
which IMHO still not fully mature):
- LaTeX3 development team created support for UTF-8 for inputenc,
- Petr Ol\v{s}\'ak (yes, he is my fellow Czech) extended his encTeX to
UTF-8 (i.e., it is support for UTF-8 on the level of input/output
processor of TeX, so everything works as it should). His webpage is
petr.olsak.net/enctex.html (previous version -- w/o UTF-8 -- was
described in his article for Tugboat, which should be available on
www.tex.org and if I am not mistaken also on
ftp://math.feld.cvut.cz/pub/olsak/enctex/encdoc.pdf).
However, both of these attempts are very bleeding edge of development.
encTeX should be part of the next web2c (promise made in February and
AFAIK there is still not new release), and I am not quite sure whether
UTF-8 support for inputenc made it to new LaTeX yet. So I am afraid, we
cannot much rely on it.
Have a nice day,
Matej

optional arguments in math. how to?
Hello,
I've just been trying use the command \xrightarrow with it optional
argument, e.g.
\[ leftside \xright[down]{up} rightside \]
Is it possible to do this (and in general use optional arguments in
math/display mode)? I've tried writing it as regular text (without the
\[ and \]) and turning it to a math/display mode. I've also tried to
insert it manually in the .lyx file, but to no avail.
I did manage to use it in an ERT box, but I would rather not write the
whole equation that way.
If it is indeed imposible, might it be better if there was an option
within math mode to enter pure latex, without Lyx "helping" in the
middle. Something like the ERT box in the regular text. I think (if I
remember correctly) that it was possible in earlier version 1.1.6 (or so).
Thanks for any help,
Amir.
P.S.
I'm using Lyx 1.2.1 (Xforms)

\xrightarrow is supported 'natively'.
Just make sure to enable AMS.

Write it with the \[...\] and it should work.

Even that should work.

It still is.

Brr... I think it should work there, too, but I've not checked.
Especially the native xrightarrow support might be a 1.3.x feature.

In LyX 1.3.x, you type \xrightarrow and then press .
Then, you can edit both arguments.

Well, that's unusually peculiar, even by Windows standards. You're
saying that 'lyx -dbg 3' on a command line works (meaning latex runs when
you View->DVI), but lyx on a command line (without the arguments) can't
get latex to run properly?
For the shortcut, did you put the '-dbg 3' on the "target" line of the
shortcut ('path\lyx.exe -dbg 3' all on one line)? And does the shortcut
start in the same directory in which you were opening the command window?
(Not that I think that would account for the systems, but when fishing I
favor a big net.)
The shortcut (with the debug options) behaving differently from the
command line (with debug options) might suggest either a difference in
the environment variables the two are using or a difference in what
account is running the program (assuming you're in a multiuser version of
Windows that cares about user accounts -- I don't think you specified
your OS version), but that would not explain why lyx on the command line
without debug options would fail. The debug options making a difference
on the command line might mean that something is missing (or ignored) in
the environment that is being supplied internally (or paid attention to)
in debug mode, but that wouldn't explain the shortcut failing.
Best bet is probably to ask Ruurd Reitsma about it.
What happens if you make shortcut run a batch file that starts LyX in
debug mode? Any joy on the viewing?

Shortening down TOC
Hi! Is there any way to shorten down a TOC which contains loads of subsubsections in an "oldfashioned" way like this: Chapter 1..1 Section 1.12 Subsection 1.1.1.3 Coins 4, Groins 5, Fever 7, Wars 8, Platypus 11 Subsection 1.212 and so on I have studied the tocloft package but i cant find a solution there. I know I could manipulate the .toc-file by hand, but then I would have to change all the pagenumbers also :( many thanks! Niklas

I do not understand this bug report. The speller uses the language of the text in the document to spellcheck. regards john
LyX with LaTeX Error
Howdy, (new to the list - and a new user of LyX - great program btw!) I'm having a problem including any sort of graphics in a document. They add just fine, but when I go to export or view the document (DVI, etc.), I get a dialog box "There were errors during the LaTeX run.", and when I double click on the error, I get: "LaTeX Error: Unknown option 'ln' for package 'graphics'. \if [EMAIL PROTECTED] The option 'ln' was not declared in package 'graphics', perhaps you misspelled its name. Try typing to proceed." I know this is a LaTeX error, but it's complaining about the code LyX sends it. I've since reinstalled teTeX, and LyX, and still no help. I get this error on a *new* document, with nothing but an image it in. I've tried all sorts of images (eps, png, jpg, etc.) and still get it. I'm at a loss of what it could be. Any tips on how to solve this problem? I really need figures in my paper. Thanks. latex --version, gives TeX version 3.14159, kpathsea version 3.3.1; LaTeX configuration does find "graphicx" package.
