It may be an issue. fifo pipes are a unix speciality. Nonetheless, first

I think it will be a lot of work replacing all spaces with an editor in my

No, it is ported. These messages are warnings we put in to remind us that 
maybe, just maybe some of the logic in the lyx kernel is incorrect. Both

 Herbert,

You should even use '-' instead of '_' or ' ' to be really on the safe
side. '_' has usually a special meaning for TeX and there are rare
circumstances where it can be used with the 'ordinary meaning'.
Although \cite should be one of these places, not all TeX related
software is aware of that. So better don't use it.

 I consider this a real bug within Lyx.

It is really hard to 'fix' as TeX is far too complex to come up with a
rule 'char x is forbidden in place y'. 

 It should warn when using spaces if this is not an appropiate syntax
 for some Latex-macros.  I think it will be a lot of work replacing all
 spaces with an editor in my lyx-file.
 
 Interesting is that hyperref for example has no problem with these

Sort of, yes. Building robust (La)TeX macros is an art (a dark one, if
you ask me), so the casual package writer tends to miss a few corner
cases in the first fourhundred releases or so.

Problem installing LyX for Win32

I tried to install Ruurd Reitsma's LyX for Win32. The extractor starts but suddenly 
complain it is not able to find the first additional fine (the one with extension r00) 
that is in fact present in the temporary directory as well as the main exe file. Is 
this a knows problem? The installation program hangs and I found no way to persuade it

LyX controls the user input, but after ERT, a non-empty preamble or any

we are talking about (La)TeX and not some packages

Graphics output difficulties

[Dan Nedelko]

Hi everyone,

I am having problems with graphics output in Lyx 1.3.2 on Redhat 9 with
the QT frontend. I have been working on numerous documents with no
problems at all. When my document was complete I inserted numerous
'figures' ie graphics into the document. 

As suggested I created a figure float and inserted my image into the
float. The images display perfectly within LyX however when I attempt
any form of output my figure is completely ignored.

In an attempt to cover all bases, I ran 

lyx -dbg graphics

and I was presented with:

Setting debug level to graphics
Debugging `graphics' (Graphics conversion and loading)

Attempting to convert image file:

The file contains ppm format data.

The image loader can load the following directly:
BMP
GIF
JPEG
MNG
PBM
PGM
PNG
PPM
XBM
XPM

Of these, LyX recognises the following formats:
bmp, gif, jpg, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, xbm, xpm

which would appear to be correct, ie I have all filter support. When I
attempt to export-PDF(latex) I receive the following output:

I wonder. Does this png image exist?

 The resulting output is excellent except for the missing image. The
 current output is based on an XPM version, however I have the same
 results with PNG and EPS.

I'm very suspicious I'm afraid. Here's why:
LyX thinks that it has converted the image just fine and so will be running 
latex on your exported document with the latex snippet
\includegraphics[your_options]{your_file}
where your_file is _home_danny_Documents_nID_DigiQLite_Chart1

If the file does not exist after all, latex will complain and produce no 
output at all.

If, however, LyX could not convert your image then it would instead export 
the latex snippet
\includegraphics[your_options, draft]{your_file}

latex would be quite happy with the non-existence of the file, producing a 
little box in the document along the lines
your_file not found!

So, the fact that latex is happy yet there appears to be no image is very 
suspicious.

You have placed the image in a float you say.

Have you checked that the image is not at the very end of the document?

What happens if you move the image out of the float so it appears Right 
Here?

Dan,

  I cannot provide either a solution or intelligent suggestion to your
immediate problem, but I can offer that I've had no problems with .eps
figures when exporting to pdflatex (or viewing the .dvi output). I've had
figures in earlier versions of LyX (with the xforms GUI and RH 6.2) and now
in my book with -1.3.2 on RH 7.3.

  When I did have problems recently, it was with illustrations generated by
xfig. The ones I've done with tgif show up nicely on screen and on paper.
This may not solve your immediate problem, but I hope it encourages you that
good graphic output can be achieved.

LyX and package teubner

[Tobias Hilbricht]

Dear readers of this list,
I would like to use LyX in conjunction with the latex package teubner for 
(old) greek philological typesetting. I have a working installation of the 
package teubner, however, I cannot use it with LyX. I think it is because it 
uses a language attribute in the preamble (an example is attached at the 
end). I tried to change the settings under edit/preferences/language, and 
also I tried with entries into format/document/LaTeX preamble, but no 
success.

Grateful for any helpful hints

Yours sincerely

Tobias Hilbricht

Is this not equivalent? (LyX file and tex file exported from it). I can't

Re: Aspell and LyX: a difficult matrimony?

[Paul Smith]

 I've got LyX 1.3.2 (old=only version from Reitsma) working fine with
Aspell
 on winnt4/sp5. Which windows version are you using?

I am using Windows2000 Professional.

Andre Poenitz has kindly suggested me that I could run Aspell on the command
line (DOS console)and it brilliantly works with TeX files. (He mentioned
that it is also possible to use this strategy with LyX files.) Of course, it
would be better to have Aspell working inside LyX... But, even so, I prefer
to use LyX, instead of SWP, as I consider the former clearly superior to the
latter.

maybe, just maybe some of the logic in the lyx kernel is incorrect. Both 
frontends suffer from this.

 Setting controller ro: 1
 Transition from state 0 to state 0 after input 7
 Calling BC refresh()
 ./lyx: relocation error: ./lyx: undefined symbol: _ZN7QWidget7repaintEb

I suspect that this is related directly to your rebuilding problems of the 
kde/qt libraries. Not the answer you wanted to hear I suspect.

 Herbert,
 
 thanks. When I replace spaces by _ in my example file, {cite} is working.

You should even use '-' instead of '_' or ' ' to be really on the safe
side. '_' has usually a special meaning for TeX and there are rare
circumstances where it can be used with the 'ordinary meaning'.
Although \cite should be one of these places, not all TeX related
software is aware of that. So better don't use it.

 I consider this a real bug within Lyx.

It is really hard to 'fix' as TeX is far too complex to come up with a
rule 'char x is forbidden in place y'. 

 It should warn when using spaces if this is not an appropiate syntax
 for some Latex-macros.  I think it will be a lot of work replacing all
 spaces with an editor in my lyx-file.
 
 Interesting is that hyperref for example has no problem with these
 spaces.  Is there a general rule, that newer macros or packages can
 handle spaces?

Sort of, yes. Building robust (La)TeX macros is an art (a dark one, if
you ask me), so the casual package writer tends to miss a few corner
cases in the first fourhundred releases or so.

Problem installing LyX for Win32

[Guido Milanese]

I tried to install Ruurd Reitsma's LyX for Win32. The extractor starts but suddenly 
complain it is not able to find the first additional fine (the one with extension r00) 
that is in fact present in the temporary directory as well as the main exe file. Is 
this a knows problem? The installation program hangs and I found no way to persuade it 
to go any further.

Thanks!

LyX controls the user input, but after ERT, a non-empty preamble or any

fancycite.sty:

we are talking about (La)TeX and not some packages

Graphics output difficulties

[Dan Nedelko]

Hi everyone,

I am having problems with graphics output in Lyx 1.3.2 on Redhat 9 with
the QT frontend. I have been working on numerous documents with no
problems at all. When my document was complete I inserted numerous
'figures' ie graphics into the document. 

As suggested I created a figure float and inserted my image into the
float. The images display perfectly within LyX however when I attempt
any form of output my figure is completely ignored.

In an attempt to cover all bases, I ran 

lyx -dbg graphics

and I was presented with:

Setting debug level to graphics

The file contains ppm format data.

The image loader can load the following directly:
BMP
GIF
JPEG
MNG
PBM
PGM
PNG
PPM
XBM
XPM

Of these, LyX recognises the following formats:
bmp, gif, jpg, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, xbm, xpm

I wonder. Does this png image exist?

 The resulting output is excellent except for the missing image. The
 current output is based on an XPM version, however I have the same
 results with PNG and EPS.

I'm very suspicious I'm afraid. Here's why:
LyX thinks that it has converted the image just fine and so will be running 
latex on your exported document with the latex snippet
\includegraphics[your_options]{your_file}
where your_file is _home_danny_Documents_nID_DigiQLite_Chart1

If the file does not exist after all, latex will complain and produce no 
output at all.

If, however, LyX could not convert your image then it would instead export 
the latex snippet
\includegraphics[your_options, draft]{your_file}

latex would be quite happy with the non-existence of the file, producing a 
little box in the document along the lines
your_file not found!

So, the fact that latex is happy yet there appears to be no image is very 
suspicious.

You have placed the image in a float you say.

Have you checked that the image is not at the very end of the document?

What happens if you move the image out of the float so it appears Right 
Here?

Dan,

  I cannot provide either a solution or intelligent suggestion to your
immediate problem, but I can offer that I've had no problems with .eps
figures when exporting to pdflatex (or viewing the .dvi output). I've had
figures in earlier versions of LyX (with the xforms GUI and RH 6.2) and now
in my book with -1.3.2 on RH 7.3.

  When I did have problems recently, it was with illustrations generated by
xfig. The ones I've done with tgif show up nicely on screen and on paper.
This may not solve your immediate problem, but I hope it encourages you that
good graphic output can be achieved.

LyX and package teubner

[Tobias Hilbricht]

Dear readers of this list,
I would like to use LyX in conjunction with the latex package teubner for 
(old) greek philological typesetting. I have a working installation of the 
package teubner, however, I cannot use it with LyX. I think it is because it 
uses a language attribute in the preamble (an example is attached at the 
end). I tried to change the settings under edit/preferences/language, and 
also I tried with entries into format/document/LaTeX preamble, but no 
success.

Grateful for any helpful hints

Yours sincerely

Tobias Hilbricht

Is this not equivalent? (LyX file and tex file exported from it). I can't

Re: Aspell and LyX: a difficult matrimony?

[Paul Smith]

 I've got LyX 1.3.2 (old=only version from Reitsma) working fine with
Aspell
 on winnt4/sp5. Which windows version are you using?

I am using Windows2000 Professional.

Andre Poenitz has kindly suggested me that I could run Aspell on the command
line (DOS console)and it brilliantly works with TeX files. (He mentioned
that it is also possible to use this strategy with LyX files.) Of course, it
would be better to have Aspell working inside LyX... But, even so, I prefer
to use LyX, instead of SWP, as I consider the former clearly superior to the
latter.

No, it is ported. These messages are warnings we put in to remind us that 
maybe, just maybe some of the logic in the lyx kernel is incorrect. Both

You should even use '-' instead of '_' or ' ' to be really on the safe
side. '_' has usually a special meaning for TeX and there are rare
circumstances where it can be used with the 'ordinary meaning'.
Although \cite should be one of these places, not all TeX related
software is aware of that. So better don't use it.

It is really hard to 'fix' as TeX is far too complex to come up with a
rule 'char x is forbidden in place y'.

Sort of, yes. Building robust (La)TeX macros is an art (a dark one, if
you ask me), so the casual package writer tends to miss a few corner
cases in the first fourhundred releases or so.

Problem installing LyX for Win32

complain it is not able to find the first additional fine (the one with extension r00) 
that is in fact present in the temporary directory as well as the main exe file. Is 
this a knows problem? The installation program hangs and I found no way to persuade it 
to go any further.

Thanks!

I've downloaded and installed this version on 4 windows pc's without a
problem.

I suggest you remove all 3 files and start again, you may have had an
error when you downloaded.

LyX controls the user input, but after ERT, a non-empty preamble or any
non-standard style, all control is gone:


fancycite.sty:

\let\oldcite\cite
\def\cite{\catcode`z=1\oldcite}


Now use

\usepackage{fancycite}

and enter a citation containing the letter 'z'.

How should LyX know that this is 'forbidden'?

we are talking about (La)TeX and not some packages
and not ERT. In _LaTeX_ it is not a good idea to have spaces and/or
control characters in filesnames/labels/keywords.
Everything in this way is on users risk! If it works, fine

Graphics output difficulties

[Dan Nedelko]

Hi everyone,

I am having problems with graphics output in Lyx 1.3.2 on Redhat 9 with
the QT frontend. I have been working on numerous documents with no
problems at all. When my document was complete I inserted numerous
'figures' ie graphics into the document. 

As suggested I created a figure float and inserted my image into the
float. The images display perfectly within LyX however when I attempt
any form of output my figure is completely ignored.

In an attempt to cover all bases, I ran 

lyx -dbg graphics

and I was presented with:

Setting debug level to graphics

Attempting to convert image file:

The file contains ppm format data.

The image loader can load the following directly:
BMP
GIF
JPEG
MNG
PBM
PGM
PNG
PPM
XBM
XPM

Of these, LyX recognises the following formats:
bmp, gif, jpg, pbm, pgm, png, ppm, xbm, xpm

which would appear to be correct, ie I have all filter support. When I
attempt to export->PDF(latex) I receive the following output:

The resulting output is excellent except for the missing image. The

Any help with my issue would be greatly appreciated!

I wonder. Does this png image exist?

I'm very suspicious I'm afraid. Here's why:
LyX thinks that it has converted the image just fine and so will be running 
latex on your exported document with the latex snippet
\includegraphics[your_options]{your_file}
where your_file is _home_danny_Documents_nID_DigiQLite_Chart1

If the file does not exist after all, latex will complain and produce no 
output at all.

If, however, LyX could not convert your image then it would instead export 
the latex snippet
\includegraphics[your_options, draft]{your_file}

latex would be quite happy with the non-existence of the file, producing a 
little box in the document along the lines
your_file not found!

So, the fact that latex is happy yet there appears to be no image is very 
suspicious.

You have placed the image in a float you say.

Have you checked that the image is not at the very end of the document?

What happens if you move the image out of the float so it appears Right 
Here?

Dan,

  I cannot provide either a solution or intelligent suggestion to your
immediate problem, but I can offer that I've had no problems with .eps
figures when exporting to pdflatex (or viewing the .dvi output). I've had
figures in earlier versions of LyX (with the xforms GUI and RH 6.2) and now
in my book with -1.3.2 on RH 7.3.

  When I did have problems recently, it was with illustrations generated by
xfig. The ones I've done with tgif show up nicely on screen and on paper.
This may not solve your immediate problem, but I hope it encourages you that
good graphic output can be achieved.

LyX and package teubner

[Tobias Hilbricht]

Dear readers of this list,
I would like to use LyX in conjunction with the latex package teubner for 
(old) greek philological typesetting. I have a working installation of the 
package teubner, however, I cannot use it with LyX. I think it is because it 
uses a language attribute in the preamble (an example is attached at the 
end). I tried to change the settings under edit/preferences/language, and 
also I tried with entries into format/document/LaTeX preamble, but no 
success.

Grateful for any helpful hints

Yours sincerely

Tobias Hilbricht

What exactly happens, when you copy (VERBATIM!) this into

Is this not equivalent? (LyX file and tex file exported from it). I can't 
test it as I have neither the package nor iso-8859-7.def installed.

I am using Windows2000 Professional.

Andre Poenitz has kindly suggested me that I could run Aspell on the command
line (DOS console)and it brilliantly works with TeX files. (He mentioned
that it is also possible to use this strategy with LyX files.) Of course, it
would be better to have Aspell working inside LyX... But, even so, I prefer
to use LyX, instead of SWP, as I consider the former clearly superior to the
latter.

it is even worse. It seems as if {natbib} doesn`t accept a german Umlaut in 
keywords.
What about a Umlaut in labels and filenames?

After eliminating spaces and german umlaute from the keywords of the

{hypernat}.
{cite} tolerates Umlaute (but does not work with hyperref), {natbib} does

yes, maybe problematic too. I have no working 1.3.X
