dvipost (hopefully) ready for Debian

[Sven Hoexter]

Hi all,
yesterday I've been working on Matej Cepl's dvipost package
so that it can stand the Debian QA and move into the main
archive.

So if you've some spare time please give it a try and if you're
familiar with Debian packages please look over the source package
aswell.

lyx language code

 So if you've some spare time please give it a try and if you're

Good work!

Some suggestions:

* It should be possible to have TeXlive installed instead of teTex. It
  should probably depend on tetex-bin | texlive-base-bin or something.
  
  BTW, is it really necessary to depend on TeX at all? Can't this
  package be used without TeX, if you have a DVI file? Maybe you
  should just recommend TeX instead?

* There are missing ending newlines in postinst and postrm.

* You should use dh_installtex instead of running texhash manually (I
  think). Have you read the TeX policy in the tex-common package? Also
  see the dh_installtex(1) manpage.

* Do you really need to create those directories listed in
  debian/dirs?

* The configure script checks things by running kpsewhich and
  tex. These are not listed in the Build-Depends. You should probably
  try to hardwire these values, or, if you must, build-depend on TeX.

* There are lintian errors. Please fix them.

* The package is configured two times when using debuild (which uses
  dpkg-buildpackage). The problem seems to be the patch target
  dependency. You should probably move the dependency from the
  config.status target to the build target (before build-stamp).

 What would you do about it? I think it is confusing that it depends on

 removing it, but we should provide a simple way to produce a align. 

About the align/eqnarray stuff? Use eqnarray as we did until 1.2 or
such.  If someone wants aling he could setup a key binding on
math-mutate align (or such). I'd also accept a new LFUN but don't
consider this a high priority.

Alternately, use eqnarray if 'no ams' is selected, 'align' when ams
is forced, and disable the function when AMS detection is 'auto'.

When I think about it, this might be not the worst option.

You can only have dots at the end for all (sub)section numbers or no 
dots for all.

If you write in german there is the following rule
(see Duden, 1996, R3 and R4):

- always no dot behind the last number
- exception: when you use letters or roman numerals to number sections,
  you have to end all, also the normally numbered section numbers with a

To make it short, use the document option pointlessnumbers or

There's a utility called qtconfig that hypothetically can be used to 
change the font choice, but I'm not sure where you can get a Windows 
binary for it (it's not included with LyX). You might have to compile it 
yourself.


I'm not at all sure, but it looks as though on my system the default 
choice for the menu bar font might be Tahoma.  It might perhaps be worth 
checking (through the Control Panel-Fonts applet) whether you have 
Tahoma installed (you should, it's a standard Windows font) and whether 
it looks like it should (faint chance that the font file was overwritten 
or corrupted).  I'm not positive, but I think that if Qt can't find the 
default choice for the font it needs, it wanders off and grabs some 
other font, quite possibly the first one that can't outrun it.

slightly OT: windows email/news client workaround misc. urls

[Stephen Harris]

I used to use Outlook Express for composing emails
for the LyX user group. I got some complaints about
the formatting of messages. I switched to Thunderbird
which goes with Firefox and it worked well except for
one problem. When I read news next, the Subject:
would get opened fully expanded for the thread which
had most recently received a post. The topics getting
the highest volume are often flamewars or philosophical
rambling that everybody feels like they are an expert
and have something worthwhile to say. It can take the
scrolling through several screens to get back to the
Collapse all check-box. The solution is to use \
without the quotes, it automatically collapses all
threads. It really saves the mouse hand. * expands all
It took me a few hours to discover this.

Also be careful of the formatting if you cut and paste:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/
Those urls are useful for doing searches on error messages.

http://www.ece.tamu.edu/~tex/manual/node37.html

If a figure or table is too wide, you may try to rotate the figure or 
table 90 degrees counter-clockwise to produce a landscape figure or 
table. Figures can be rotated using the angle option in 
\includegraphics. If the caption also needs to be rotated, use the 
\rotcaption command instead of \caption command in the \figure 
environment. The \rotcaption command requires \usepackage{rotating} to 
be placed before the \begin{document} in the thesis.tex file. For example,


\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[angle=90]{file.ps}
\rotcaption{Figure Caption}
\label{fig}
\end{figure}

Tables and figures can be rotated using the \sideways environment. This 
environments always rotates 90 degrees counter-clockwise.


There is a caption package also. I'm not sure this answered your
question if you meant something like:

T
h
i
s

i
s

a

c
a
p
t
i
o
n

Yes, if you meant rotate to landscape and maintain
prior caption orientation. A useful resource:

For instance the 1st page answers your copyright and trademark question.

dvipost (hopefully) ready for Debian

[Sven Hoexter]

Hi all,
yesterday I've been working on Matej Cepl's dvipost package
so that it can stand the Debian QA and move into the main
archive.

So if you've some spare time please give it a try and if you're
familiar with Debian packages please look over the source package
aswell.

I'm now out to university so flame when I come back ;)
Oh and thanks to Matej for his work!

lyx language code

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

I have some difficulties with my references. I use a Jabref created data bank 
lit.bib and have coded it as iso-8859-1. If a reference contains e.g. á (´a), 
it is not properly shown in lyx as well as in the pdf output. Kimmo Elo 
suggested, that apparently the coding of my lyx is different (utf8). But I 
don´t know how to find out.
I start my lyx with LANG=de_DE, but write often English documents. Is this a 
bad idea and the cause of my problem?

Hi,

Sven Hoexter:

 archive.
 
 So if you've some spare time please give it a try and if you're
 familiar with Debian packages please look over the source package

Good work!

Some suggestions:

* It should be possible to have TeXlive installed instead of teTex. It
  should probably depend on tetex-bin | texlive-base-bin or something.
  
  BTW, is it really necessary to depend on TeX at all? Can't this
  package be used without TeX, if you have a DVI file? Maybe you
  should just recommend TeX instead?

* There are missing ending newlines in postinst and postrm.

* You should use dh_installtex instead of running texhash manually (I
  think). Have you read the TeX policy in the tex-common package? Also
  see the dh_installtex(1) manpage.

* Do you really need to create those directories listed in
  debian/dirs?

* The configure script checks things by running kpsewhich and
  tex. These are not listed in the Build-Depends. You should probably
  try to hardwire these values, or, if you must, build-depend on TeX.

* There are lintian errors. Please fix them.

* The package is configured two times when using debuild (which uses
  dpkg-buildpackage). The problem seems to be the patch target
  dependency. You should probably move the dependency from the
  config.status target to the build target (before build-stamp).

 What would you do about it? I think it is confusing that it depends on

 removing it, but we should provide a simple way to produce a align. 

About the align/eqnarray stuff? Use eqnarray as we did until 1.2 or
such.  If someone wants aling he could setup a key binding on
math-mutate align (or such). I'd also accept a new LFUN but don't
consider this a high priority.

Alternately, use eqnarray if 'no ams' is selected, 'align' when ams
is forced, and disable the function when AMS detection is 'auto'.

When I think about it, this might be not the worst option.

You can only have dots at the end for all (sub)section numbers or no 
dots for all.

If you write in german there is the following rule
(see Duden, 1996, R3 and R4):

- always no dot behind the last number
- exception: when you use letters or roman numerals to number sections,
  you have to end all, also the normally numbered section numbers with a
  dot

To make it short, use the document option pointlessnumbers or

You don't need to adjust anything in this menu (there's nothing in this

There's a utility called qtconfig that hypothetically can be used to 
change the font choice, but I'm not sure where you can get a Windows 
binary for it (it's not included with LyX). You might have to compile it 
yourself.


I'm not at all sure, but it looks as though on my system the default 
choice for the menu bar font might be Tahoma.  It might perhaps be worth 
checking (through the Control Panel-Fonts applet) whether you have 
Tahoma installed (you should, it's a standard Windows font) and whether 
it looks like it should (faint chance that the font file was overwritten 
or corrupted).  I'm not positive, but I think that if Qt can't find the 
default choice for the font it needs, it wanders off and grabs some 
other font, quite possibly the first one that can't outrun it.

slightly OT: windows email/news client workaround misc. urls

[Stephen Harris]

I used to use Outlook Express for composing emails
for the LyX user group. I got some complaints about
the formatting of messages. I switched to Thunderbird
which goes with Firefox and it worked well except for
one problem. When I read news next, the Subject:
would get opened fully expanded for the thread which
had most recently received a post. The topics getting
the highest volume are often flamewars or philosophical
rambling that everybody feels like they are an expert
and have something worthwhile to say. It can take the
scrolling through several screens to get back to the
Collapse all check-box. The solution is to use \
without the quotes, it automatically collapses all
threads. It really saves the mouse hand. * expands all
It took me a few hours to discover this.

Also be careful of the formatting if you cut and paste:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/
Those urls are useful for doing searches on error messages.

http://www.ece.tamu.edu/~tex/manual/node37.html

If a figure or table is too wide, you may try to rotate the figure or 
table 90 degrees counter-clockwise to produce a landscape figure or 
table. Figures can be rotated using the angle option in 
\includegraphics. If the caption also needs to be rotated, use the 
\rotcaption command instead of \caption command in the \figure 
environment. The \rotcaption command requires \usepackage{rotating} to 
be placed before the \begin{document} in the thesis.tex file. For example,


\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[angle=90]{file.ps}
\rotcaption{Figure Caption}
\label{fig}
\end{figure}

Tables and figures can be rotated using the \sideways environment. This 
environments always rotates 90 degrees counter-clockwise.


There is a caption package also. I'm not sure this answered your
question if you meant something like:

T
h
i
s

i
s

a

c
a
p
t
i
o
n

Yes, if you meant rotate to landscape and maintain
prior caption orientation. A useful resource:

For instance the 1st page answers your copyright and trademark question.

It should, however, be

1.4.1: delete no work ok

Hello,

reference list

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

I am using natbib and the references are given in the reference list as
A.B. Author
it should, however, be
Author AB

Do I need to dig into the art of using Bibtex or is there an easy solution?

Yes, this is a known bug:

I'd like to fix it for 1.4.2, but nobody took the time to do it yet.

lyx language code

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

I have some difficulties with my references. I use a Jabref created data bank 
lit.bib and have coded it as iso-8859-1. If a reference contains e.g. á (´a), 
it is not properly shown in lyx as well as in the pdf output. Kimmo Elo 
suggested, that apparently the coding of my lyx is different (utf8). But I 
don´t know how to find out.
I start my lyx with LANG=de_DE, but write often English documents. Is this a 
bad idea and the cause of my problem?

Re: dvipost (hopefully) ready for Debian

Good work!

Some suggestions:

* It should be possible to have TeXlive installed instead of teTex. It
  should probably depend on tetex-bin | texlive-base-bin or something.
  
  BTW, is it really necessary to depend on TeX at all? Can't this
  package be used without TeX, if you have a DVI file? Maybe you
  should just recommend TeX instead?

* There are missing ending newlines in postinst and postrm.

* You should use dh_installtex instead of running texhash manually (I
  think). Have you read the TeX policy in the tex-common package? Also
  see the dh_installtex(1) manpage.

* Do you really need to create those directories listed in
  debian/dirs?

* The configure script checks things by running kpsewhich and
  tex. These are not listed in the Build-Depends. You should probably
  try to hardwire these values, or, if you must, build-depend on TeX.

* There are lintian errors. Please fix them.

* The package is configured two times when using debuild (which uses
  dpkg-buildpackage). The problem seems to be the patch target
  dependency. You should probably move the dependency from the
  config.status target to the build target (before build-stamp).

To guess the encoding of something (by the very nature of an
encoding this is heuristics), the command "file" (that uses
libmagic by Rullgard/Zoulas) is often used. 
So run "file lit.bib" and "file yourfile.lyx" to see if the 
encoding is the same in both files and if it is the same as in your 
locale. To change the encoding, use "recode" or "iconv" (warning: 
at least recode acts in-place, so perhaps make a backup first).

Hope that helps,

Thanks, Holger,

that is strange: 

The lyx file is ISO...

engelmann.lyx: ISO-8859 C program text

But the bib file, produced by Jabref, although it is said to be set to

pp-plants-newz.bib: UTF-8 Unicode English text
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/PP-buch/PP-chapter-bib> cd ..

About the align/eqnarray stuff? Use eqnarray as we did until 1.2 or
such.  If someone wants aling he could setup a key binding on
math-mutate align (or such). I'd also accept a new LFUN but don't
consider this a high priority.

Alternately, use eqnarray if 'no ams' is selected, 'align' when ams
is forced, and disable the function when AMS detection is 'auto'.

When I think about it, this might be not the worst option.

Could you deinstall LyX completely and reinstall it with the 
LyXWinInstaller. Sometimes old LyX installations that aren't completely 
removed make troubles and the uninstaller of the LyXWinInstaller cleans 
that.


I hope this helps, if not shout again.

You can only have dots at the end for all (sub)section numbers or no 
dots for all.

If you write in german there is the following rule
(see Duden, 1996, R3 and R4):

- always no dot behind the last number
- exception: when you use letters or roman numerals to number sections,
  you have to end all, also the normally numbered section numbers with a
  dot

To make it short, use the document option "pointlessnumbers" or 
"pointednumbers" when you have a koma-script document.

Do you also have de-only.rws in C:\Aspell\dict\?  That's the actual

You don't need to adjust anything in this menu (there's nothing in this 
menu in a fresh LyX installation).


I assume that you have an incomplete aspell istallation. Did you install 
a german aspell 0.60 library from here?:


http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117_id=9651

The libraries of aspell 0.60 are all under

C:\Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60

There's a utility called qtconfig that hypothetically can be used to 
change the font choice, but I'm not sure where you can get a Windows 
binary for it (it's not included with LyX). You might have to compile it 
yourself.


I'm not at all sure, but it looks as though on my system the default 
choice for the menu bar font might be Tahoma.  It might perhaps be worth 
checking (through the Control Panel->Fonts applet) whether you have 
Tahoma installed (you should, it's a standard Windows font) and whether 
it looks like it should (faint chance that the font file was overwritten 
or corrupted).  I'm not positive, but I think that if Qt can't find the 
default choice for the font it needs, it wanders off and grabs some 
other font, quite possibly the first one that can't outrun it.

slightly OT: windows email/news client workaround misc. urls

[Stephen Harris]

I used to use Outlook Express for composing emails
for the LyX user group. I got some complaints about
the formatting of messages. I switched to Thunderbird
which goes with Firefox and it worked well except for
one problem. When I read news next, the Subject:
would get opened fully expanded for the thread which
had most recently received a post. The topics getting
the highest volume are often flamewars or philosophical
rambling that everybody feels like they are an expert
and have something worthwhile to say. It can take the
scrolling through several screens to get back to the
Collapse all check-box. The solution is to use "\"
without the quotes, it automatically collapses all
threads. It really saves the mouse hand. * expands all
It took me a few hours to discover this.

Also be careful of the formatting if you cut and paste:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/
Those urls are useful for doing searches on error messages.

http://www.ece.tamu.edu/~tex/manual/node37.html

"If a figure or table is too wide, you may try to rotate the figure or 
table 90 degrees counter-clockwise to produce a landscape figure or 
table. Figures can be rotated using the angle option in 
\includegraphics. If the caption also needs to be rotated, use the 
\rotcaption command instead of \caption command in the \figure 
environment. The \rotcaption command requires \usepackage{rotating} to 
be placed before the \begin{document} in the thesis.tex file. For example,


\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[angle=90]{file.ps}
\rotcaption{Figure Caption}
\label{fig}
\end{figure}

Tables and figures can be rotated using the \sideways environment. This 
environments always rotates 90 degrees counter-clockwise."


There is a caption package also. I'm not sure this answered your
question if you meant something like:

T
h
i
s

i
s

a

c
a
p
t
i
o
n
