This is because our tar file is in ustar format (contains very large

Could you try to play with the ordering of the various bits in the
preamble of the TeX file? One reason why we do not support hyperref
directly yet is that loading order seems to be difficult to get right.



there's not much to play with. if I load hyperref in the preamble, I get
everything correct until it comes to the \ref{alg:label} command, where I
get the undefined control sequence error message, as if hyperref
overwrites the alg mechanism but not the other label/references.

So float (which is modified by hyperref) and hyperref have to be loaded before

I use just step 1 to generate handouts (which are one slide to a page). 
 To get multiple slides on a page, I generate the handout file with one 
slide per page, open the file in Acrobat Reader, and print it using a 
drive that outputs a PDF file (PDFCreator in my case).  The printer 
options allow you to do 2, 4 or 6 slides per page, pick paper size, and 
pick portrait or landscape orientation.  If you take this route, be sure

I don't think they work. Export the file as .tex from LyX.
Then from the command line htlatex foo.tex = foo.html
which can be directly imported into Word, = foo.doc
htlatex is part of the TeX4ht package:

http://facweb.arch.ohio-state.edu/pviton/support/tex4ht.html
The Miktex update manager can download and install this
if you don't have it. www.miktex.org

I use Word2Tex for converting from .doc to .tex and
LyX can import .tex files. Rtf conversion may work.

Conversions need to be proofread,

LyX 1.4.3/Aspell problem (WinXP)

[Paul A. Rubin]

Hi,

I just installed 1.4.3 in parallel with 1.4.2 and 1.4.1.  (As usual, 
thanks to the developers for cranking out another new and improved 
version, and to all involved with the Windows port.)  During the 
installation process, I think the installer parked some Aspell-related 
files under C:\Documents and Settings\what_a_handsome_guy\Application 
Data\Aspell.  That is to say, the files are there now, I don't remember 
if they were there before, and during the installation progress report I 
think I saw something on the what I'm up to line about something going 
in up there.


I already had Aspell 0.50, the necessary bits of 0.60, and assorted 
dictionaries installed under C:\Aspell.  The problem is, when I try to 
check spelling in 1.4.3, I'm informed that 'No word lists can be found 
for the language en_US'.  On the other hand, 1.4.2 (which is using the 
same preferences file etc.) seems to have no trouble finding them.  I'm 
hoping I don't have to reinstall Aspell each time there's an upgrade to 
LyX.  Any ideas what I can do to cure this?


Thanks,
Paul (whose spelling, while good, is not entirely perfect)

Thanks for the detailed comments.
Regarding  Add/Remove Programs, you are right, it can be done from there, 
however when there is an uninstaller in a program, I do prefer to use it.
To go a bit further (pse don't sigh):
In fact there is so many aside programs with LyX that I am always afraid 
to miss one and for that reason, till today, each time I have fully update 
(reinstalling everything).
But, if I follow you properly, when you have got one installation, let us 
say 1.4.1, you just need to install 1.4.3 and keep former Miktex, 
ImageMagick, Ghostscript, Aspell ( I am not sure ) and GSView or to update 
them directly.
As such I should have just to download LyX 1.4.3. Am I correct ?

Thanks

This is because our tar file is in ustar format (contains very large

Could you try to play with the ordering of the various bits in the
preamble of the TeX file? One reason why we do not support hyperref
directly yet is that loading order seems to be difficult to get right.



there's not much to play with. if I load hyperref in the preamble, I get
everything correct until it comes to the \ref{alg:label} command, where I
get the undefined control sequence error message, as if hyperref
overwrites the alg mechanism but not the other label/references.

So float (which is modified by hyperref) and hyperref have to be loaded before

I use just step 1 to generate handouts (which are one slide to a page). 
 To get multiple slides on a page, I generate the handout file with one 
slide per page, open the file in Acrobat Reader, and print it using a 
drive that outputs a PDF file (PDFCreator in my case).  The printer 
options allow you to do 2, 4 or 6 slides per page, pick paper size, and 
pick portrait or landscape orientation.  If you take this route, be sure

I don't think they work. Export the file as .tex from LyX.
Then from the command line htlatex foo.tex = foo.html
which can be directly imported into Word, = foo.doc
htlatex is part of the TeX4ht package:

http://facweb.arch.ohio-state.edu/pviton/support/tex4ht.html
The Miktex update manager can download and install this
if you don't have it. www.miktex.org

I use Word2Tex for converting from .doc to .tex and
LyX can import .tex files. Rtf conversion may work.

Conversions need to be proofread,

LyX 1.4.3/Aspell problem (WinXP)

[Paul A. Rubin]

Hi,

I just installed 1.4.3 in parallel with 1.4.2 and 1.4.1.  (As usual, 
thanks to the developers for cranking out another new and improved 
version, and to all involved with the Windows port.)  During the 
installation process, I think the installer parked some Aspell-related 
files under C:\Documents and Settings\what_a_handsome_guy\Application 
Data\Aspell.  That is to say, the files are there now, I don't remember 
if they were there before, and during the installation progress report I 
think I saw something on the what I'm up to line about something going 
in up there.


I already had Aspell 0.50, the necessary bits of 0.60, and assorted 
dictionaries installed under C:\Aspell.  The problem is, when I try to 
check spelling in 1.4.3, I'm informed that 'No word lists can be found 
for the language en_US'.  On the other hand, 1.4.2 (which is using the 
same preferences file etc.) seems to have no trouble finding them.  I'm 
hoping I don't have to reinstall Aspell each time there's an upgrade to 
LyX.  Any ideas what I can do to cure this?


Thanks,
Paul (whose spelling, while good, is not entirely perfect)

Thanks for the detailed comments.
Regarding  Add/Remove Programs, you are right, it can be done from there, 
however when there is an uninstaller in a program, I do prefer to use it.
To go a bit further (pse don't sigh):
In fact there is so many aside programs with LyX that I am always afraid 
to miss one and for that reason, till today, each time I have fully update 
(reinstalling everything).
But, if I follow you properly, when you have got one installation, let us 
say 1.4.1, you just need to install 1.4.3 and keep former Miktex, 
ImageMagick, Ghostscript, Aspell ( I am not sure ) and GSView or to update 
them directly.
As such I should have just to download LyX 1.4.3. Am I correct ?

Thanks

The attached patch would put the infrastructure in place for doing it
for environments too. Seems to work. 

BTW LaTeX output is broken (outputs numbers) in trunk.

This is because our tar file is in ustar format (contains very large
path names). GNU tar handles this correctly, but some tar utils fail.

We should provide a proper installation target for the OSX bundle to
handle that, but I never had time to do it.

Could you try to play with the ordering of the various bits in the

there's not much to play with. if I load hyperref in the preamble, I get
everything correct until it comes to the \ref{alg:} command, where I
get the "undefined control sequence" error message, as if hyperref

Yes, except... currently OptArg is only implemented for LaTeX commands,

To generate simple Handouts (i.e. the slides printed on a sheet), 

1. enter "handout" to Document->Settings->Class Options

2. enter to the preamble:

\usepackage{pgfpages}
\pgfpagesuselayout{2 on 1}[a4paper,border shrink=5mm]

Then View->PDFlatex

(there's a typo at least in my German version of the beamer user guide).

The hyperref README says:

Currently only package loading orders are available:

[...]

algorithm

  \usepackage{float}
  \usepackage{hyperref}
  \usepackage[chapter]{algorithm}

So float (which is modified by hyperref) and hyperref have to be loaded before 
algorithm. The problem is that LyX loads algorithm before the user preamble. 
So your only chance is probably to load the algorithm package yourself (and 
use ERT in the document.

I use just step 1 to generate handouts (which are one slide to a page). 
 To get multiple slides on a page, I generate the handout file with one 
slide per page, open the file in Acrobat Reader, and print it using a 
drive that outputs a PDF file (PDFCreator in my case).  The printer 
options allow you to do 2, 4 or 6 slides per page, pick paper size, and 
pick portrait or landscape orientation.  If you take this route, be sure 
to select the option to stretch pages to the page margins.

Read only mode?

[Rudi Gaelzer]

Is there a read only mode for lyx?

From a message sent by Jean-Marc in may, I gathered that there is such a 
thing:
--- snip --
You can use buffer-readonly-toggle (which can even be added as a menu
item or icon).

JMarc
--- snip --

I would like to have the possibility to open a lyx document in read-only mode.  
In fact, I would even like to be able to choose it as the default action.

Can I do that with lyx 1.4.3? How?  When I enter "buffer-readonly-toggle" on 
the minibuffer, I got an "Unknown action"...

Thanks.

I don't think they work. Export the file as .tex from LyX.
Then from the command line "htlatex foo.tex" = foo.html
which can be directly imported into Word, = foo.doc
htlatex is part of the TeX4ht package:

http://facweb.arch.ohio-state.edu/pviton/support/tex4ht.html
The Miktex update manager can download and install this
if you don't have it. www.miktex.org

I use Word2Tex for converting from .doc to .tex and
LyX can import .tex files. Rtf conversion may work.

Conversions need to be proofread,

  When I want a document in read only permanently I remove the write flags 
from its properties.

$ chmod a-w file

in linux and other unices...

  LyX recognises this and acts accordingly. :-)

The patch is only for people who compile from source. Windows users

used the "uninstaller" program supplied with the former version to uninstall

unistaller supplied with 1.3.7 or have you an better suggestion.

My question is how to unistall it properly (the one supplied with the

The 1.3.7 uninstaller is unlikely to know what to do to uninstall 1.4.1.

Have you checked Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs to make sure that 
1.4.1 is not listed there?  If it is, you should be able to uninstall it 
from there.


I just crawled my registry and didn't find anything particularly funky 
associated with the directory in which I have 1.4.1 installed.  So if I 
wanted to delete 1.4.1 and lacked the installer, here's what I would do: 
 install 1.4.3 first (in a different directory) and make sure it works 
(!); note down the path to 1.4.1 and then delete its root directory and 
all subdirectories; then either (a) quit while I'm ahead and live with a 
little harmless clutter in the registry or (b) run a registry cleaner 
program that hopefully would delete any keys referring to the now 
nonexistent 1.4.1 directory or (c) run regedit, search for all 
references to the deleted directory and manually delete them.

(Note:  I have not tested the following.) I think you can edit 
.../Resources/ui/stdmenus.ui and add a new Item to the edit menu, 
something like


Item "Toggle read-only|Q" "buffer-toggle-read-only"

(perhaps changing Q to a more salubrious hot key, or omitting it).  I 
would save the hacked file in the ui subfolder under your home 
directory, so that it would survive reinstallations and upgrades.


On the other hand, the path of least resistance might be simply to use
File->New from template... to open documents you don't want to modify. 
The resulting file is writable, but it gets a default name (e.g. 
newfile1.lyx), so inadvertently saving it will at worst clutter your 
drive a bit.

LyX 1.4.3/Aspell problem (WinXP)

[Paul A. Rubin]

Hi,

I just installed 1.4.3 in parallel with 1.4.2 and 1.4.1.  (As usual, 
thanks to the developers for cranking out another new and improved 
version, and to all involved with the Windows port.)  During the 
installation process, I think the installer parked some Aspell-related 
files under C:\Documents and Settings\what_a_handsome_guy\Application 
Data\Aspell.  That is to say, the files are there now, I don't remember 
if they were there before, and during the installation progress report I 
think I saw something on the "what I'm up to line" about something going 
in up there.


I already had Aspell 0.50, the necessary bits of 0.60, and assorted 
dictionaries installed under C:\Aspell.  The problem is, when I try to 
check spelling in 1.4.3, I'm informed that 'No word lists can be found 
for the language "en_US"'.  On the other hand, 1.4.2 (which is using the 
same preferences file etc.) seems to have no trouble finding them.  I'm 
hoping I don't have to reinstall Aspell each time there's an upgrade to 
LyX.  Any ideas what I can do to cure this?


Thanks,
Paul (whose spelling, while good, is not entirely perfect)

That works!  I made a copy of /usr/share/lyx/ui/stdmenus.ui to ~/.lyx/ui/ and 
included the Item as you suggested (using "T"  instead of "Q" as shortcut) 
and it works.  Now I can happily toggle to and fro the read-only mode...

Thanks a lot, Paul.

Thanks for the detailed comments.
Regarding  Add/Remove Programs, you are right, it can be done from there, 
however when there is an uninstaller in a program, I do prefer to use it.
To go a bit further (pse don't sigh):
In fact there is so many "aside" programs with LyX that I am always afraid 
to miss one and for that reason, till today, each time I have fully update 
(reinstalling everything).
But, if I follow you properly, when you have got one installation, let us 
say 1.4.1, you just need to install 1.4.3 and keep former Miktex, 
ImageMagick, Ghostscript, Aspell ( I am not sure ) and GSView or to update 
them directly.
As such I should have just to download LyX 1.4.3. Am I correct ?

Thanks

The attached patch would put the infrastructure in place for doing it
for environments too. Seems to work. 

BTW LaTeX output is broken (outputs numbers) in trunk.

Should I check this in?
