  No, with this one it is 142858. ;-)

Yes I have.
To be sure, I uninstalled and re-installed it: no change :-(

Subject: pb with screen font in math mode


Hello,

I'm running Lyx 1.3.3 on a mandrake 9.2 box. When I installed and 
compiled lyx, it worked fine until one day (when I suppose I installed 
some RPM that made things wrong!).
It is not a serious problem but annoying enough for me to send a call 
for help! Lyx does not display all math symbols correctly on screen 
since that day. For instance, I get a square instead of the sigma sign, 
or a filled small diamond instead of the "=>" sign, etc.

Can someone tell me what to do to come back to the previous, correct 
situation ?


The font server seems broken, have you restarted the X server already ?
Does lyx -x reconfigure changes anything ?
Yes I did, didn't change anything...
and lyx -x reconfigure doesn't change anything aither ;-)
Thanks for answering anyway !

Figure reference numbers not incrementing

[Rich Shepard]

  Sorry folks. Just when I think I have everything under control again, I
stumble over a new problem.

  In one chapter I have multiple figures inserted in floats (all .eps
format) and each one has been given a distinct label. In the text I
reference each figure with a cross-reference to that distinct label.

  Curiously, when I view the dvi output (ctrl-d), each figure caption is
properly numbered (Figure 8.1, Figure 8.2, Figure 8.3) but the references
are all to "Figure 8.1". No obvious error jumps out at me. I'm quite
puzzled.

  Ideas?

Thanks,

Rich

Re: Inserting a complex, multiling equation

[Nirmal Govind]

  What I did, when in the right-side box, was to select the regular text mode
from the text button menu on the math panel, then use ctrl-space to space
the words.
Selecting "normal text mode" from the math panel is the same as 
Ctrl-M while in the math mode. In either case, you don't need to do 
a Ctrl-space to get a regular space when you're in this 
normal-text-within-math-mode, just hit the space bar and the usual 
space will show up...

Re: Converting from PostScript to LaTex

[Nirmal Govind]

Conversion word -> latex works quite well (far better than wvClaenLaTeX) if
you use Staroffice/OpenOffice.Org to convert from word to OpenOffice.org
Writer format and then use writer2latex (see
http://www.hj-gym.dk/~hj/writer2latex/) to convert to LaTeX.
I even got formulas right. Although my OpenOffice.org had some problems to
display them correctly, writer2latex understood them.
Georg - do you know of any way to convert latex to rtf or doc that 
does better than latex2rtf? My tables and figures get messed up 
using latex2rtf... bib also does but that's not too much of a 
concern right now.. I tried exporting from LyX to HTML and then 
opened that in Openoffice and that looked better (some of the math 
was still messed up)..   I then exported it to sxw (writer format) 
and then opened the sxw file and saved as .doc but when I open the 
doc file, it's completely messed up - the text flows vertically down 
for some reason.. that may have to do with Openoffice's saveas 
feature so I'll have to play around with it or try the cvs 
version... thought I'd check on the list in the meanwhile ..

Herbert,

  I like that. Looks quicker to type it in TeX mode then convert it to math
mode.

  Now I need some guidance on how to use the tilde-over-A as a subscript in
an inline equation. I typed this:

\textrm{\~ A }=\{(x,\mu_{\textrm{\~ A}}(x))|(x\in U)\}

but it generates errors when compiling.

  I suspect that I did not properly enter the subscript on the right side of
the equation. I don't know if the "\textrm{\~A}" should be in another set of

Text-mode Accents in Math Mode

[Rich Shepard]

  This is an easy one, I promise. :-)

  I need to use uppercase letters surmounted with a tilde as symbols for
fuzzy sets. In text mode, I can write \~{A} and it comes out perfectly when
I view the output. However, in math mode I use the panel's text button/menu
to select "normal text mode" and that works.

  Is there a more efficient/better/proper way of using a over-tilde on a
letter in math mode?

TIA,

Herbert,

  Yes! I discovered the problem and was just going to write. In Uwe's
example I saw, "use amsmath 1". In my file it was "use amsmath 0". Changed
my file and it compiles.

  It was not that I forget; I didn't know to do add the amsmath package in
the preamble. This was not "intuitive" for me. :-)

  Whew! This was a major stumbling block and I learned a lesson not soon
forgotten: use the amsmath package if there will be equations in the text.

Many, many thanks to all of you,

> But better keep on using the \cases environment.
> I hope this helps.

 I've done extensive experimentation this morning. Following are three code
fragments: one of mine that compiles, one of mine that doesn't compile, and
the one Uwe sent to me:

This compiles:

\begin_inset Formula \[
\mu_{A}(x)=\begin{cases}
1,\\
0,\end{cases}\]
\end_inset

This does not compile:

\begin_inset Formula \[
\mu_{A}(x)=\begin{cases}
1, & \textrm{if and only if}\\
0,\end{cases}\]
\end_inset

And this is Uwe's example:

\begin_inset Formula \[
\mu_{a}(x)=\begin{cases}
\\1 & \textrm{if and only if}\, x\in A\\
0 & \textrm{if and only if}\, x\notin A\end{cases}\]
\end_inset

  Uwe's example has two back-slashes immediately prior to the '1'; my
versions do not. The only effect of the two back-slashes is to add a
spurious extra row on top.

  The difference between my two versions was created when I used the mouse
to place the cursor in the right-side box on the top row, selected 'normal
text mode' from the math panel's text menu, and typed "if and only if". The
error box contains:

Misplaced alignment tab character &.
 1, &
\textrm{if and only if}\\
I can't figure out why you would want to use a tab mark
here. If you just want an ampersand, the remedy is
simple: Just type   \&' now. But if some right brace
up above has ended a previous alignment prematurely,
you're probably due for more error messages, and you
might try typing ' now just to see what is salvageable.

  Will someone please explain this to me? I cannot figure out what I'm not
doing correctly so my equation will compile when completed.

TIA,

Rich

from the text button menu on the math panel, then use ctrl-space to space

  The LaTeX generated by this (as seen in the .lyx file) appears equivalent
to a working example, but just will not compile. Yes, this is frustrating,
especially when I'm against a deadline by my publisher for the book. Sigh.

Hi Rich,

As an aside, is there a place in some documentation where the use of each
little blue box in math mode is explained? That I've not seen and it would
probably help me with learning new math mode entry tasks.
Sounds like you got hold of some documentation already..

in this situation, enter the "1," in the left side blue box and "if and only
if x \in A" in the right side blue box, then press ctrl-[Enter]?
I think so.. that's worked fine for me so far.

  Also, when entering the conditional, what is the proper format for spacing
between words? A keyboard space moves me out of the math box; so does a
If the text is entered in texth-within-math-mode (you can do a 
Ctrl-M while you're in the math-mode to enter 
text-within-math-mode), then you can just hit space and it'll show

I had usually the best results with exporting to HTML (which can 
be happily read by any Word newer than Word97 inclusive). But, 
you can try any latex2rtf and similar -- check the paralel 
thread about conversion from PostScript (which is actually about 
conversion from Word).

There is an unmaintained patch for it available on www.lyx.org 
(search "tracking change site:lyx.org" on Google), but I really 
do not think it is compatible with 1.3.3. It will be officially 
available in 1.4.0, but that it won't be available for a long 
time, I am afraid.

There's program "pdftohtml" that converts pdf to html and it did

But I think there isn't a good way to convert HTML into LaTeX.
Less good ways, yes.

Dear Lyx users,

could you let me know about your best solution to convert lyx files in rtf

I would have another basic question: would exist under lyx a comparable
revision mode than the one existing under word and allonwing to see
corrections done by other users of the same file.

Thank you very much in advance,
