Re: Automatic formatting of a particular word?
Hi Stephen,
Stephen Harris schrieb:
I have a question about this. My knowledge is theoretical rather than
practical and draws upon Knuth's discussion of macros/definitions in
The TeXbook concerning the TeX logo plus chapter twenty, Knuth:
The TeXbook is great if you want to learn to program TeX. If you want to
use LaTeX you should not use it as primary source of information.
SH: Does this work with LyX? Suppose I wanted a better way of
expressing, linux and unix, than *nix. So I invented the word NyX
to substitute for *nix. And suppose this was a document which
discussed LyX and I wanted to typeset the y in NyX like LyX and use
it maybe 15 times so that it was worthwhile to create it.
You're mixing up two things. One is that it is possible to define LaTeX
commands for special Logo Words, like \LaTeX, \TeX, \BibteX and so on.
This could be done with a command like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(don't use the \setbox / \tenrm stuff, that's plain TeX and doesn't mix
well with LaTeX font selection).
The other is that LyX replaces some hardcoded strings like LaTeX, TeX,
LyX with those logo commands (\TeX, \LaTeX, \LyX, it even replaces
occurences of TeX inside words like »myWayTooCoolTeX«!). ATM and AFAIK
there is no user interface for that, so you have to either patch you LyX
version to recognize NyX as well or (better!) use ERT:\NyX{}. (Or you
make the N active and try to detect occurences of NyX on TeX
processing level. (not really ;-))).
So could I create a definition for NyX \NyX\ (or any word for that
matter)
Yes, definitely
and put it in macros.tex and load it with \input macros and
use it in LyX with automatic expansion, even if it weren't hardwired
like Uwe's example?
Better do it the LateX way: write a simple sty nyxlogo.sty and put that
\providecommand*{\NyX}{...} in there (look at clsguide.dvi/pdf on how to
do that).

No, the tex - doc converters are today much more powerful than they were a couple of years ago and you will be able to keep most of your layout. The most powerful way is lyx - latex - oowriter -- doc with tex4ht The alternative way is lyx - latex - rtf with rtf2latex Tex4ht is more powerful with bibliographies and custom environments. rtf2latex has a more limited set of features but is fast and easier to use. It all depends on what you are writing. Create an example with the most complex stuff you will be writing (math, tables, bibliography) and test conversion. Charles -- http://www.kde-france.org

no, it is quite different.
\section{\bibtexlogo} is possible, because it is a robust macro

Otherwise it won't work, it moves not as a macro into the *.toc

color print problem (CMYK converted to RGB)
I just got a call from the printer who wanted to let me know that all the color images in our books were somehow converted from C4 (CMYK) to RGB. They caught this much later than it should have been, but it was caught and they were able to swap out the plates. Here are the steps that were followed: 1. Received TIFF (CMYK) images from printer (verified) 2. TIFF images placed in LyX 3. LaTeX to DVI output (TIFF in tmp file is still CMYK, but not the EPS files) 4. DVI file saved as Postscript 5. Postscript file delivered to printer. I checked the EPS's with Adobe Preflight and it reports that they are in fact RGB color space and not CMYK. Is this a problem with the ImageMagick conversion that LyX calls? Is this a configuration error on my part? Is it a known problem? I would be grateful for any advice or comments. -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tiros-Translations

- one small image of the same button inside a table

button in the tool bar.I have no problem with the LyX document which
displays properly the image of the button at the right place.
However, when I intend to look at the document launching
display-PDF(pdflatex). I got five errors for each image.
I have got the same problem with floating figure however, it was because
of some parameters; but with the current actions, I did not change anything
in the parameter box

LyX is creating a correct LaTeX file. If you try the same formula in a .tex

I use Ghostview and Yap (the version that comes with MiKTeX) on Win XP

However, when I intend to look at the document launching

Something is causing LaTeX to think that the file name is a mathematical
expression misplaced in regular text, which among other things makes it
insert a dollar sign (to either start or end an inline formula) and
treat the underscores in the file name as if they were subscript
operators. As Uwe suggests, about the only way to figure out why this
is happening is to see a (minimal) example where it occurs.

Isn't math mode ERT (without the red, and not automatically evil)?
AFAIK, LyX does not translate commands typed into math insets any more
than it translates/edits/parses commands typed into TeX insets.
If you type \junk in a math inset, and no such macro is defined,
you'll see junk displayed in LyX and you'll get an error message from
LaTeX. Same story with the prime (albeit quite a bit more subtle).
On-the-fly automatic correction is a tricky business at best (if you
want to learn the seamier side of English, listen to me when I try to
start a paragraph in Word with a. and Word insists on capitalizing the
letter). Would be a nice feature, if done correctly, but I'm not about

You're mixing up two things. One is that it is possible to define LaTeX
commands for special Logo Words, like \LaTeX, \TeX, \BibteX and so on.
This could be done with a command like

(don't use the \setbox / \tenrm stuff, that's plain TeX and doesn't mix
well with LaTeX font selection).
The other is that LyX replaces some hardcoded strings like LaTeX, TeX,
LyX with those logo commands (\TeX, \LaTeX, \LyX, it even replaces
occurences of TeX inside words like »myWayTooCoolTeX«!). ATM and AFAIK
there is no user interface for that, so you have to either patch you LyX
version to recognize NyX as well or (better!) use ERT:\NyX{}. (Or you
make the N active and try to detect occurences of NyX on TeX
processing level. (not really ;-))).
So could I create a definition for NyX \NyX\ (or any word for that

I have read something about lyx-latex-rtf-doc . This sounds not really promising, I guess all the layout will be lost?! No, the tex - doc converters are today much more powerful than they were a couple of years ago and you will be able to keep most of your layout. The most powerful way is lyx - latex - oowriter -- doc with tex4ht The alternative way is lyx - latex - rtf with rtf2latex Tex4ht is more powerful with bibliographies and custom environments. rtf2latex has a more limited set of features but is fast and easier to use. It all depends on what you are writing. Create an example with the most complex stuff you will be writing (math, tables, bibliography) and test conversion. Charles -- http://www.kde-france.org

Yes, you should create a macro.
In your preamble put something like :
\newcommand\stacia [1]{\usefont{T1}{stacish}{m}{n}%
\selectfont%
#1%
\normalfont}
and then in your text an ert with for example \stacia{Hartleben}
With LyX 1.4 you can even use the character style and do the last part
without ert. It is documented in the Wiki.
Look in your LaTeX manual how you can create macros. It is easy to do and
can save you a lot of time.

Managing of notes
Hello all, I'm writing a big lyx document and I use notes extensively for me to make the organization of text more clear. Is there any automated or manual way, using lyx or exporting lyx to latex and working out after with this, to make a document (in whatever format) including only the notes ? Thanks in advance.

Hi Stephen,
and put it in macros.tex and load it with \input macros and
use it in LyX with automatic expansion, even if it weren't hardwired
like Uwe's example?
Better do it the LateX way: write a simple sty nyxlogo.sty and put that
\providecommand*{\NyX}{...} in there (look at clsguide.dvi/pdf on how to
do that).
Yours,
Karsten
That does seem simpler. Thanks for the explanation, it led me to
discover texlogos.sty which contains the Metapost and Metafont
logos as well as BibTex so it serves as a model.
%% Displays the BibTeX logo.
%%
\DeclareRobustCommand{\bibtexlogo}{%
\protect\scalebox{0.75}[1]{B}%
\protect\scalebox{0.5625}[0.75]{IB}\TeX}
Though the syntax of \DeclareRobustCommand is probably older
than \providecommand?
no, it is quite different.
\section{\bibtexlogo} is possible, because it is a robust macro
and _not_ expanded, when it is going also into the table of contents.
Otherwise it won't work, it moves not as a macro into the *.toc
file, but fully expanded, which often causes errors.

color print problem (CMYK converted to RGB)
I just got a call from the printer who wanted to let me know that all the color images in our books were somehow converted from C4 (CMYK) to RGB. They caught this much later than it should have been, but it was caught and they were able to swap out the plates. Here are the steps that were followed: 1. Received TIFF (CMYK) images from printer (verified) 2. TIFF images placed in LyX 3. LaTeX to DVI output (TIFF in tmp file is still CMYK, but not the EPS files) 4. DVI file saved as Postscript 5. Postscript file delivered to printer. I checked the EPS's with Adobe Preflight and it reports that they are in fact RGB color space and not CMYK. Is this a problem with the ImageMagick conversion that LyX calls? Is this a configuration error on my part? Is it a known problem? I would be grateful for any advice or comments. -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tiros-Translations

replacing with a protected blank

It has a lot of periods that must be followed by protected blank, for
example:
The /Dancing Goats Act/, S.O., 1997, c. D.12, ss. 30--31.

double superscript a lyx bug?

a shortcut for prime (= matrix transpose sign here), latex complains
about double superscript. Minimal lyx file is embedded below, but I
guess only \begin_inset Formula $a^{*}'$ actually matters.
I know how to workaround, but I read somewhere that lyx tries to produce
correct latex files (absent any ERT). So, is this a bug by official
standards?
