Re: Deriving a new LyX environment

Footnotes in Greek
Hi all,
I've been trying to get a way to insert some greek text into a document.
Having installed the relevant bits from texlive, I tried putting
\usepackage[greek,british]{babel} into the preamble. This changes the whole
document into greek. If I place the ERT \selectlanguage{british} before the
document title, it goes back to british for the main text, but all of the
references brought in from bibtex (using jurabib) are set in greek. This is
not what I need. How do I tell bibtex to use british as the default
language?
Or is there a better way to set up the document to allow for occasional
greek?

Another eps problem
Hi, I have EPS generated from Microcal Origin, without a preview, which always (up to now) have been behaving fine. Recently I have come across a strange problem, where my eps figures show up correctly on either pdf (via all methods - dvipdfm, pdftex, ps2pdf), dvi, or postscript, but they do not PRINT on a printer correctly. I have two printers (one HP laser printer, and one deskjet), the output is wrong on both. Details of the figure are missing - lines are missing, some marks are missing, but some are printed. I get about half of the figure printed. Ghostview complains about DSC warnings when I open the postscript file of the entire document, but displays everything on screen nicely. I don't know what these DSC warnings are and if they are relevant. I don't know what recently in my second paragraph means - is it a lyx version change (I am on 1.4.3-5), MikTex version (I am on Windows and the MikTex is fully updated) or what. I think my lyx (and tex and imagemagick and ghostview) installation is fine. Could someone with more experience tell me where to look? Thanks Miki

That would be really cool.
Anyway, the following is just a guess, completely untested, but maybe it will
start off your investigation...
\let\oldsection = \section
\let\endoldsection = \endsection

Re: OpenOffice vs. LyX
--- killermike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Steve Litt wrote: Hi all, I was considering switching to OpenOffice because of the excessive effort in creating/modifying styles in LyX. So as an experiment, I began making a derivative, in OpenOffice, of a book I originally wrote using MS Word. WHAT A MESS! Styles I created in OpenOffice wouldn't stay created. If they stayed created, they'd magically change properties from time to time. Numbers kept changing to bullets and vice versa. I'm scared I'll be fine tuning this document every time it's edited in any way, or even printed. I will NEVER AGAIN write a book in OpenOffice. I must admit that although I'm not a fan of the 'OO/Word is for morons' style of promoting Lyx use, I did have similar problems when I started my book project in OO 1.9. IIRC OOo 1.9.x was not a production version and was buggey especially with headings. OOo is up to 2.1 and overall seems pretty stable. Styles and bullets just wouldn't stay set. I don't know to what extent things have improved since then. I'm left wondering how these people who claimed that they used that version of OO for serious work actually got anything done. Beats me but there are quite a few books out there done with OOo including the collaboratively written OOo documentation based on a well constructed template and well defined styles. It proved to be quite a problem because, after OO, I tried Koffice Word which had some font kerning problems that made it unusable for me. I should add that other people claimed that they could still use it. The versions of Abiword that I tried were also had bugs surrounding the styles. In the end, it was probably all for the best as it led me to discover Lyx and now that I've learnt Lyx I prefer this way of working. Bit of a problem for Linux as a platform that I was unable to install a fully working standard word processor though. Time to give OOo another try. I note that you are a Linex user. A serious problem seems to be that various distros tend to tweak OOo to their preferences. Recently there seems to have been a wave of problems with the Ubuntu issue of OOo. It is always (almost anyway) safer to download OOo from the official OOo site. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

This does set the numerals 1, 2, 3, ... in the left margin, with the

get

Is there a way to get the normal indenting behavior with increased

Re: OpenOffice vs. LyX
I like LyX for complex documents because I can set a document up and not have to worry about the fact that so many people who claim to understand how to use styles don't bother to use them with any consistency in practice with any word processing software.

I think a well constructed template and well defined styles explains it. I've been using word processing software for literally a couple of decades, and frankly, the worst piece of engineering garbage that I've ever had the misfortune to use was MS Word. Even OOo Writer 1.0 ran circles around it (all released versions of MS Word) for features and stability. Most of the features people claim are in MS Word that aren't in OOo Writer are really 3rd-party applications (and pricey ones at that). Only the grammar checker and visual basic that were in MS Word were not in OOo Writer 1.0. OOo Writer 2.0 is light-years ahead of MS Word (even with the new features 2007 is supposed to come with). As someone else mentioned, you are likely to bring over MS Word's problems when you import the file into OOo Writer and what you're seeing are the problems that were in your MS Word document. Complex MS Word files almost never look the same on two different computers -- even when both computers have the exact same release of MS Word installed. This has been a constant complaint for both the people trying to provide finalized documents for production on MS Word systems other than their own and the people receiving those documents. This is why savvy MS Word users always provide a copy of the file in PDF so that the recipient can see what the file was actually supposed to look like. Check out the Authors' Guides for OOo -- there are versions for 1.0 and 2.0. Getting lists and such to be stable in OOo Writer is not a problem, assuming you set them up correctly for what you want and assuming you adequately cleaned up the MS Word file and templates you're working from. http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html deedee -- Registered Linux User #327485 The Writer's Place, http://www.thewritersplace.com WordStar Users Group, http://www.wordstar2.com

There was obviousely a problem during installation of MikTeX caused by the

LyX sends PDFs to Yojimbo?
Hey all, I love LyX, but some behavior is driving me nuts- specifically, it's sending PDFs to Yojimbo, instead of creating a temp file and opening it with Preview. This isn't the system-wide default (pdfs are assigned to Preview!) How do I fix this? Under the preferences pane for document types, the handler is listed as auto. Also, is there any way to get the same behavior with DVI files as under linux? I used to love the ability to update the DVI file (which was extremely quick) and bring the DVI viewer to the foreground, and it would automatically detect the change and update the display. It was, quite simply, brilliant. Thanks! Brett

Footnotes in Greek
Hi all,
I've been trying to get a way to insert some greek text into a document.
Having installed the relevant bits from texlive, I tried putting
\usepackage[greek,british]{babel} into the preamble. This changes the whole
document into greek. If I place the ERT \selectlanguage{british} before the
document title, it goes back to british for the main text, but all of the
references brought in from bibtex (using jurabib) are set in greek. This is
not what I need. How do I tell bibtex to use british as the default
language?
Or is there a better way to set up the document to allow for occasional
greek?

problems with urls not breaking at end of line
Hi I have some urls in my document (simple article style, no special options) which contains some URLs. These URLs are entered via the URL command in the menue. As I don't like the borders around the URLs, I used the package hyperref, and the problems start: the URLs are now nicely formated in blue, but they don't break at the end of a line, even if I use the final=true or breaklinks=true options. Anmy ideas how I can get these to break at the end of a line as they should be? Thanks, Rainer -- Rainer M. Krug, Dipl. Phys.

Another eps problem
Hi, I have EPS generated from Microcal Origin, without a preview, which always (up to now) have been behaving fine. Recently I have come across a strange problem, where my eps figures show up correctly on either pdf (via all methods - dvipdfm, pdftex, ps2pdf), dvi, or postscript, but they do not PRINT on a printer correctly. I have two printers (one HP laser printer, and one deskjet), the output is wrong on both. Details of the figure are missing - lines are missing, some marks are missing, but some are printed. I get about half of the figure printed. Ghostview complains about DSC warnings when I open the postscript file of the entire document, but displays everything on screen nicely. I don't know what these DSC warnings are and if they are relevant. I don't know what recently in my second paragraph means - is it a lyx version change (I am on 1.4.3-5), MikTex version (I am on Windows and the MikTex is fully updated) or what. I think my lyx (and tex and imagemagick and ghostview) installation is fine. Could someone with more experience tell me where to look? Thanks Miki

This can certainly be done with the koma-script classes. See also the titlesec package. These will allow you to add arbitrary formatting commands to set the section titles.

Re: OpenOffice vs. LyX

So as an experiment, I began making a derivative, in OpenOffice, of a book I originally wrote using MS Word. WHAT A MESS! Styles I created in OpenOffice wouldn't stay created. If they stayed created, they'd magically change properties from time to time. Numbers kept changing to bullets and vice versa. I'm scared I'll be fine tuning this document every time it's edited in any way, or even printed. I will NEVER AGAIN write a book in OpenOffice. I must admit that although I'm not a fan of the 'OO/Word is for morons' style of promoting Lyx use, I did have similar problems when I started my book project in OO 1.9. IIRC OOo 1.9.x was not a production version and was buggey especially with headings. OOo is up to 2.1 and overall seems pretty stable. Styles and bullets just wouldn't stay set. I don't know to what extent things have improved since then. I'm left wondering how these people who claimed that they used that version of OO for serious work actually got anything done. Beats me but there are quite a few books out there done with OOo including the collaboratively written OOo documentation based on a well constructed template and well defined styles. It proved to be quite a problem because, after OO, I tried Koffice Word which had some font kerning problems that made it unusable for me. I should add that other people claimed that they could still use it. The versions of Abiword that I tried were also had bugs surrounding the styles. In the end, it was probably all for the best as it led me to discover Lyx and now that I've learnt Lyx I prefer this way of working. Bit of a problem for Linux as a platform that I was unable to install a fully working standard word processor though. Time to give OOo another try. I note that you are a Linex user. A serious problem seems to be that various distros tend to tweak OOo to their preferences. Recently there seems to have been a wave of problems with the Ubuntu issue of OOo. It is always (almost anyway) safer to download OOo from the official OOo site. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

This does set the numerals 1, 2, 3, ... in the left margin, with the

Re: OpenOffice vs. LyX
I like LyX for complex documents because I can set a document up and not have to worry about the fact that so many people who claim to understand how to use styles don't bother to use them with any consistency in practice with any word processing software.

I think a well constructed template and well defined styles explains it. I've been using word processing software for literally a couple of decades, and frankly, the worst piece of engineering garbage that I've ever had the misfortune to use was MS Word. Even OOo Writer 1.0 ran circles around it (all released versions of MS Word) for features and stability. Most of the features people claim are in MS Word that aren't in OOo Writer are really 3rd-party applications (and pricey ones at that). Only the grammar checker and visual basic that were in MS Word were not in OOo Writer 1.0. OOo Writer 2.0 is light-years ahead of MS Word (even with the new features 2007 is supposed to come with). As someone else mentioned, you are likely to bring over MS Word's problems when you import the file into OOo Writer and what you're seeing are the problems that were in your MS Word document. Complex MS Word files almost never look the same on two different computers -- even when both computers have the exact same release of MS Word installed. This has been a constant complaint for both the people trying to provide finalized documents for production on MS Word systems other than their own and the people receiving those documents. This is why savvy MS Word users always provide a copy of the file in PDF so that the recipient can see what the file was actually supposed to look like. Check out the Authors' Guides for OOo -- there are versions for 1.0 and 2.0. Getting lists and such to be stable in OOo Writer is not a problem, assuming you set them up correctly for what you want and assuming you adequately cleaned up the MS Word file and templates you're working from. http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html deedee -- Registered Linux User #327485 The Writer's Place, http://www.thewritersplace.com WordStar Users Group, http://www.wordstar2.com

LyX sends PDFs to Yojimbo?
Hey all, I love LyX, but some behavior is driving me nuts- specifically, it's sending PDFs to Yojimbo, instead of creating a temp file and opening it with Preview. This isn't the system-wide default (pdfs are assigned to Preview!) How do I fix this? Under the preferences pane for document types, the handler is listed as auto. Also, is there any way to get the same behavior with DVI files as under linux? I used to love the ability to update the DVI file (which was extremely quick) and bring the DVI viewer to the foreground, and it would automatically detect the change and update the display. It was, quite simply, brilliant. Thanks! Brett

OK, this looks REALLY ugly. Of course, I except you to know that
what is done in LaTeX with \[re]newcommand could be done
(roughly, this is terrible oversimplification, but it should
suffice for our purposes) with TeX primitive \def, i.e., that
\def\macro#1{replacement using value of #1} replaces every
occurrence of \macro with parameter by the replacement.
If you look at this mess for a moment (and ignore things like
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- I have no idea what does it mean, and
hopefully
it won't be important for us) you can see that it boils all down
to the macro [EMAIL PROTECTED], which ...
Hold on, this is insane. Why to do all this when we have fully
documented sources for whole LaTeX? Every writer of LaTeX
packages knows (or certainly should know), that LaTeX supports a
version of original Knuth's idea of "literate programming" (i.e.,
source code is mixed with the documentation;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming). Whole LaTeX
source code documentation is produced by LaTeXing source2e.tex.
Unfortunately, it is quite often not included in most
distributions (some of them, like Debian, have special package
for it), so it is usually easier to download source2e.pdf
somewhere from the web (use Google). Just brief search in it lead
me to page numbered 30 (which is 40th page of my document), which
says:
\newenvironment
equivalent to:
\newcommand{\FOO}[i]{DEF1} \def{\endFOO}{DEF2}
(or the appropriate star forms).
Appropriate definitions in well-commented source code start on
page 34 (44th page of the document).
Best,

Re: Section numbers in left margin?
This can certainly be done with the koma-script classes. See also the titlesec package. These will allow you to add arbitrary formatting commands to set the section titles.

The labels are set using \labelenumi, \labelenumii, \labelenumiii, and \labelenumiv, depending on the depth. These can be \renewcommand'ed as you wish. See also the varioref package's \labelformat command. I don't know whether enumerate can be modified the way arbitrary lists can be, i.e., whether \labelsep and the like exist for this environment.

Time to give OOo another try. I note that you are a Linex user. A serious problem seems to be that various distros tend to tweak OOo to their preferences. Recently there seems to have been a wave of problems with the Ubuntu issue of OOo. It is always (almost anyway) safer to download OOo from the official OOo site. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

error producing output files from "g-letter"
Hei all, I just installed lyx 1.4.3-5 on WinXP using the LYXWin143Complete-2-9.exe. In general, it seems to run fine but trying to export/view a g-letter[de] or g-letter[en] into pdf always results in errors. When clicking on "view pdf", in the bottom line of the Window is written that the program ist waiting for latex run 1. And then LyX gets stuck. The error information only shows "lyx: Disabling LyX socket." And that's it. I am sorry that I can not provide more information. Do you have any suggestions? thanks a lot, Axel

This does set the numerals 1, 2, 3, ... in the left margin, with the
text lined up with the margin, but increasing the depth no longer
indents the list, so when an exam problem has two parts (a) and (b) I
get
1
(a)
(b)
2
rather than
1
(a)
(b)
2
Is there a way to get the normal indenting behavior with increased
depth, using the preamble?

You can limit the changes to the first level by using the optional argument
of setenumerate:
\setenumerate[1]{leftmargin=0pt, labelsep=.6em}

P.S.: enumitem ships with an excellent documentation.

I think my lyx (and tex and imagemagick and ghostview) installation is fine. Could someone with more experience tell me where to look?

Works like a charm. Thanks, Jürgen. And I promise to read the

What happens if you try to print these files directly from ghostscript, without including them in LyX? Does it work then? If yes I would suspect a problem in a converter that LyX uses, if not then it has nothing to do with LyX. Georg
Re: OpenOffice vs. LyX
I like LyX for complex documents because I can set a document up and not have to worry about the fact that so many people who claim to understand how to use styles don't bother to use them with any consistency in practice with any word processing software. On Thursday 25 January 2007 09:37 am, John Kane wrote: > Beats me but there are quite a few books out there > done with OOo including the collaboratively written > OOo documentation based on a well constructed template > and well defined styles. I think "a well constructed template and well defined styles" explains it. I've been using word processing software for literally a couple of decades, and frankly, the worst piece of engineering garbage that I've ever had the misfortune to use was MS Word. Even OOo Writer 1.0 ran circles around it (all released versions of MS Word) for features and stability. Most of the "features" people claim are in MS Word that aren't in OOo Writer are really 3rd-party applications (and pricey ones at that). Only the grammar checker and visual basic that were in MS Word were not in OOo Writer 1.0. OOo Writer 2.0 is light-years ahead of MS Word (even with the new "features" 2007 is supposed to come with). As someone else mentioned, you are likely to bring over MS Word's problems when you import the file into OOo Writer and what you're seeing are the problems that were in your MS Word document. Complex MS Word files almost never look the same on two different computers -- even when both computers have the exact same release of MS Word installed. This has been a constant complaint for both the people trying to provide finalized documents for production on MS Word systems other than their own and the people receiving those documents. This is why savvy MS Word users always provide a copy of the file in PDF so that the recipient can see what the file was actually supposed to look like. Check out the Authors' Guides for OOo -- there are versions for 1.0 and 2.0. Getting lists and such to be stable in OOo Writer is not a problem, assuming you set them up correctly for what you want and assuming you adequately cleaned up the MS Word file and templates you're working from. http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html deedee -- Registered Linux User #327485 The Writer's Place, http://www.thewritersplace.com WordStar Users Group, http://www.wordstar2.com

I get here 4 errors. One is that \Telelfon is already defined:
\newcommand\Telefon{\mvchr{84}}
Your command was ignored.
The reason is that MiKTeX loads marvosym automatically and I currently don't know why. Could you
please report this on
http://bugzilla.lyx.org
I'll have a look at this this weekend.

RE: Re: error producing output files from "g-letter"
Well, Problems are solved...

There was obviousely a problem during installation of MikTeX caused by the
firewall - after switching the firewall off and a new installation LyX didn't
die anymore. But then I also had the following problem:
>I get here 4 errors. One is that \Telelfon is already defined:
>

>Your command was ignored.
So I opened marvosym.sty (\MiKTeX 2.5\tex\latex\marvosym)and changed the
spelling of "telefon" (I guess I could also just have deleted it) and
everything was just fine.
Anyway, thanks for the quick response,

LyX sends PDFs to Yojimbo?
Hey all, I love LyX, but some behavior is driving me nuts- specifically, it's sending PDFs to Yojimbo, instead of creating a temp file and opening it with Preview. This isn't the system-wide default (pdfs are assigned to Preview!) How do I fix this? Under the preferences pane for document types, the handler is listed as "auto." Also, is there any way to get the same behavior with DVI files as under linux? I used to love the ability to update the DVI file (which was extremely quick) and bring the DVI viewer to the foreground, and it would automatically detect the change and update the display. It was, quite simply, brilliant. Thanks! Brett

Incidentally, "open Desktop/example.pdf" (pdf created by latex2pdf) opens the file in Preview, so LaunchServices is doing the right thing. Brett

Then select Preview and click "Change all" again. That should set Preview as the default in a way that LyX will recognize. Bennett

Jürgen,
How do you *know* about all these packages? This is true for many on the
list -- someone comes up with a need and you know exactly what package to use
to accomplish it. Do you have all this memorized, or do you have a quick way
of looking it up? Either way, how do you do it -- I want to do it too.
Thanks
