Compiling V1.5.2 for Ubuntu Feisty Fawn
Hi there, Since the Ubuntu repositories are very far behind in the LyX version I installed 1.5.2 from the source. It was the first program that I have compiled on my machine so I had some hassles getting the packages sorted out but once that was done the only thing that failed in the ./configure file was determining the size of wchar_t. I eventually got it from a c++ program made to print out the size of a wchar_t variable. The line I ran to configure it was: ./configure ac_cv_sizeof_wchar_t=4 and all else went smoothly. I am delighted to see that the mathmode now displays the greek characters in the LyX window and the upgrade also means that some images that didn't display in DVI are now showing. Hope this feedback is helpful Cheers, michael
Re: Issues with LyX
Salim Namik wrote: Hi, I have recently started using LyX 1.5.2 and have few questions regarding formatting figures (especially in IEEEtrans class document): 1. How can I change the the style of the caption HEADER? e.g. make the caption at the center of the page, or make the word Figure italic? I am not sure, but maybe you cannot modify the format of a Figure caption without modifying the latex class or style you are using. If a journal releases a layout, it is normally because they want all papers to look the same, so it has no sense you to do what you want. 2. I create a lot of diagrams in MS Word and I to insert them in LyX, but when I do, the quality of the figure is rubbish!! what is the best format for diagrams made by MS Word? Look here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/WinGraphics I personally use the OLETeX program (can be downloaded from www.sourceforge.net/projects/oletex) to make the conversion of Visio diagrams or any other Microsoft/OLE-based diagram into EPS figures. It works great! The program is rather simple to install and to use. Assuming that you have this program installed, this are the steps to make the conversion: 1- Select and copy the diagram in Visio, Powerpoint, Word, etc 2- Copy it into the OTEditor 3- Choose EPS properties and select the size of the figure (this is optional) 4- Choose Convert.. and that's it! The generated EPS has a correct bounding box. 3. When cross-referencing figures, how can I make LyX automatically put Figure 2 instead of 2 or Figure 2 on page 3? Your help is most appreciated.

Done. Well, that depends upon your OS. On Linux, HTML export works pretty well, though of course your results depend upon what LaTeX to HTML converter you use. On other OS's, mileage seems to vary, mostly because htlatex is buggy on Windows. But you might try the relatively new Plastex converter, which is written in Python and so ought to be more portable. I've been meaning to add a line to configure.py that would detect and install it but just haven't gotten around to it. I'm using Ubuntu, and I've tried htlatex, tex4ht, and tth. I also just downloaded plasTeX; it'll take a little bit of fiddling for me to evaluate it properly, but it looks like it could be a reasonable solution. It seems like it chokes on using babel and koma-script classes (the latter also broke tex4ht, if I recall correctly). Using the default document settings I've set up breaks plasTeX, but it shouldn't be too difficult to transform the output LaTeX document if needed. All that aside, plasTeX does look really interesting--and I'll definitely pursue it. LyX has been a great tool for me personally (I got started using it for my thesis) and I'm really hoping that I can spur its adoption in the office. Best, Ethan ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
LyX 1.5.2 on Mac iBookG4 with MacTexLive-2007 Distribution - Problems
Dear All, I have some sincere problems. 1) The outline function (in German Gliederung) (found in Documents[underneath LaTeX Protocol] doesn't work. When I activate it I get no options, no outline showing up or anything. 2) Converter Problems: When trying to look at e.g. the Tutorial File in PDF (pdflatex) or DVI or PS I always get a message telling me that the conversion from xmp to png (or eps) is not working and that I would need to define a converter. I guess I need some help on that. In the Settings I tried to define several converters: like XPMPNG, XPMEPS... but I don't know which converter to use (I tried it with: convert $$i $$o). It just wouldn't work. Thanks for your help. Best regards, Bjoern
Implementation of the format definition in a given .cls file

I made my ucthesis.layout as following: #% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this # \DeclareLaTeXClass[ucthesis]{UC Thesis} # Read the definitions from report.layout Input report.layout The layout file works. But when I tried to add a title to my thesis by clicking on Title in style combo box on the toolbar, I got error message Undefined control sequence at compilation.

toggle math mode
Hi, I'm very used to writing math in plain latex. For me, this works much easier than using the visual math editor. In lyx, I found out that I could write a large formula in plain latex, then select it and click the 'math mode' button and it would convert the formula to its graphical equivalent, which is great. However, I haven't been able to find out how I can change from the graphical display back to the latex source again. This would be very useful, because then I could edit the function in plain latex and toggle to graphical display again. Is this possible in lyx? Thanks, Joris van Zwieten

Do you recommend CVS or another one ? By the way, my objective is also to have several users working on the same LyX document at the same time. What do you think is the best approach ? Thanks Horacio

heading is missing in one page
Hi I write my md-thesis with lyx, report(koma-script). As Pagestyle I chose headings. It works fine except in Chapter 5 there is no heading following.

Enumarating lists and continuation at particular depth
Hi All, I know it could be treated as lame question, but: How to create something like this in LyX: This is an example of a list: 1. LyX is cool (first level) (a) Something new (second level) (b) Something old (second level) But many things needs time to understand (continuation of the 1st) 2. LaTeX generated really nice looking documents (first level) (a) Element one at second level (b) Element two at second level and here it goes the continuation of the first level 3. Next element at first level (a) Element at second level 4. Next element at first level (no continuation from previous point) What I need is to continue the text at particular level before I put new enumerated position on the list. Now I put standard paragraph for continuations, but I loose formating and continuous enumeration then. Any advices?? Thanks in advance. -- Manveru jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] gg: 1624001 http://www.manveru.pl

My system: iBook G4, 1.33 MhZ, 1.5 GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.4.10 with the latest MacTexLive - 2007 Distribution. Maybe it's got something to do with me trying to manually uninstall/ delete the other TEX distribution that was located in /usr/local, namely geweTeX, that I installed last year with i-installer. If convert is working on its own from the command line, it should work from within LyX. Did you test that? You shouldn't need to define any additional converters here; it should just work so long as you have the relevant software installed, such as ImageMagick (which I assume you do). Have you tried reconfiguring LyX (LyX Reconfigure)? I tried reconfiguring. No change though. ImageMagick should have been installed with the MacTexLive-2007 Distribution.

Quickly glancing through, I didn't see any; did you mean some other document? Yes, that's the strange thing. No figures in the tutorial. The same happens with the user's manual. I've tried setting my language to German and running LyX, and I see that the German tutorial does have some figures. I was able to typeset it properly, however.

Compiling V1.5.2 for Ubuntu Feisty Fawn
Hi there, Since the Ubuntu repositories are very far behind in the LyX version I installed 1.5.2 from the source. It was the first program that I have compiled on my machine so I had some hassles getting the packages sorted out but once that was done the only thing that failed in the ./configure file was determining the size of wchar_t. I eventually got it from a c++ program made to print out the size of a wchar_t variable. The line I ran to configure it was: ./configure ac_cv_sizeof_wchar_t=4 and all else went smoothly. I am delighted to see that the mathmode now displays the greek characters in the LyX window and the upgrade also means that some images that didn't display in DVI are now showing. Hope this feedback is helpful Cheers, michael
Re: Issues with LyX

How can I change the the style of the caption HEADER? e.g. make the caption at the center of the page, or make the word Figure italic? I am not sure, but maybe you cannot modify the format of a Figure caption without modifying the latex class or style you are using. If a journal releases a layout, it is normally because they want all papers to look the same, so it has no sense you to do what you want. 2. I create a lot of diagrams in MS Word and I to insert them in LyX, but when I do, the quality of the figure is rubbish!! what is the best format for diagrams made by MS Word? Look here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/WinGraphics I personally use the OLETeX program (can be downloaded from www.sourceforge.net/projects/oletex) to make the conversion of Visio diagrams or any other Microsoft/OLE-based diagram into EPS figures. It works great! The program is rather simple to install and to use. Assuming that you have this program installed, this are the steps to make the conversion: 1- Select and copy the diagram in Visio, Powerpoint, Word, etc 2- Copy it into the OTEditor 3- Choose EPS properties and select the size of the figure (this is optional) 4- Choose Convert.. and that's it! The generated EPS has a correct bounding box. 3. When cross-referencing figures, how can I make LyX automatically put Figure 2 instead of 2 or Figure 2 on page 3? Your help is most appreciated.

Done. Well, that depends upon your OS. On Linux, HTML export works pretty well, though of course your results depend upon what LaTeX to HTML converter you use. On other OS's, mileage seems to vary, mostly because htlatex is buggy on Windows. But you might try the relatively new Plastex converter, which is written in Python and so ought to be more portable. I've been meaning to add a line to configure.py that would detect and install it but just haven't gotten around to it. I'm using Ubuntu, and I've tried htlatex, tex4ht, and tth. I also just downloaded plasTeX; it'll take a little bit of fiddling for me to evaluate it properly, but it looks like it could be a reasonable solution. It seems like it chokes on using babel and koma-script classes (the latter also broke tex4ht, if I recall correctly). Using the default document settings I've set up breaks plasTeX, but it shouldn't be too difficult to transform the output LaTeX document if needed. All that aside, plasTeX does look really interesting--and I'll definitely pursue it.

toggle math mode
Hi, I'm very used to writing math in plain latex. For me, this works much easier than using the visual math editor. In lyx, I found out that I could write a large formula in plain latex, then select it and click the 'math mode' button and it would convert the formula to its graphical equivalent, which is great. However, I haven't been able to find out how I can change from the graphical display back to the latex source again. This would be very useful, because then I could edit the function in plain latex and toggle to graphical display again. Is this possible in lyx? Thanks, Joris van Zwieten

The folder is still preserved. Maybe some disturbance there?! My system: iBook G4, 1.33 MhZ, 1.5 GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.4.10 with the latest MacTexLive - 2007 Distribution. Maybe it's got something to do with me trying to manually uninstall/delete the other TEX distribution that was located in /usr/local, namely geweTeX, that I installed last year with i-installer. You shouldn't need to define any additional converters here; it should just work so long as you have the relevant software installed, such as ImageMagick (which I assume you do). Have you tried reconfiguring LyX (LyX Reconfigure)? I tried reconfiguring. No change though. ImageMagick should have been installed with the MacTexLive-2007 Distribution. By the way, does the tutorial have any figures? Quickly glancing through, I didn't see any; did you mean some other document? Yes, that's the strange thing. No figures in the tutorial. The same happens with the user's manual. Thanks for trying. Bjoern

Change tracking in LyX and multiple users
Hi, I want to track changes in LyX in the same way that I do with my computer programs in C++, and for that purpose I use CVS. I look at the mail list but did not found relevant information about this. How do you generally track the changes in your documents ? what do you think is the best system ? Do you recommend CVS or another one ? By the way, my objective is also to have several users working on the same LyX document at the same time. What do you think is the best approach ? Thanks Horacio

LyX is cool (first level) (a) Something new (second level) (b) Something old (second level) But many things needs time to understand (continuation of the 1st) 2. LaTeX generated really nice looking documents (first level) (a) Element one at second level (b) Element two at second level and here it goes the continuation of the first level 3. Next element at first level (a) Element at second level 4. Next element at first level (no continuation from previous point) What I need is to continue the text at particular level before I put new enumerated position on the list.

Re: toggle math mode

However, I haven't been able to find out how I can change from the graphical display back to the latex source again. You can use the menu View - Source. But LyX's math editor already has the possibility to write LaTeX and get directly the result visually: Type in a formula e.g. \frac follwed by a space and you get a fraction. regards Uwe

Compiling V1.5.2 for Ubuntu Feisty Fawn
Hi there, Since the Ubuntu repositories are very far behind in the LyX version I installed 1.5.2 from the source. It was the first program that I have compiled on my machine so I had some hassles getting the packages sorted out but once that was done the only thing that failed in the ./configure file was determining the size of wchar_t. I eventually got it from a c++ program made to print out the size of a wchar_t variable. The line I ran to configure it was: ./configure ac_cv_sizeof_wchar_t=4 and all else went smoothly. I am delighted to see that the mathmode now displays the greek characters in the LyX window and the upgrade also means that some images that didn't display in DVI are now showing. Hope this feedback is helpful Cheers, michael
Re: Issues with LyX

How can I change the the style of the caption HEADER? e.g. make the caption at the center of the page, or make the word "Figure" italic? I am not sure, but maybe you cannot modify the format of a Figure caption without modifying the latex class or style you are using. If a journal releases a layout, it is normally because they want all papers to look the same, so it has no sense you to do what you want. 2. I create a lot of diagrams in MS Word and I to insert them in LyX, but when I do, the quality of the figure is rubbish!! what is the best format for diagrams made by MS Word? Look here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/WinGraphics I personally use the OLETeX program (can be downloaded from www.sourceforge.net/projects/oletex) to make the conversion of Visio diagrams or any other Microsoft/OLE-based diagram into EPS figures. It works great! The program is rather simple to install and to use. Assuming that you have this program installed, this are the steps to make the conversion: 1- Select and copy the diagram in Visio, Powerpoint, Word, etc 2- Copy it into the OTEditor 3- Choose "EPS properties" and select the size of the figure (this is optional) 4- Choose "Convert.." and that's it! The generated EPS has a correct bounding box. 3. When cross-referencing figures, how can I make LyX automatically put "Figure 2" instead of "2" or "Figure 2 on page 3"? Your help is most appreciated.

File an enhancement request. Done. Well, that depends upon your OS. On Linux, HTML export works pretty well, though of course your results depend upon what LaTeX to HTML converter you use. On other OS's, mileage seems to vary, mostly because htlatex is buggy on Windows. But you might try the relatively new Plastex converter, which is written in Python and so ought to be more portable. I've been meaning to add a line to configure.py that would detect and install it but just haven't gotten around to it. I'm using Ubuntu, and I've tried htlatex, tex4ht, and tth. I also just downloaded plasTeX; it'll take a little bit of fiddling for me to evaluate it properly, but it looks like it could be a reasonable solution. It seems like it chokes on using babel and koma-script classes (the latter also broke tex4ht, if I recall correctly). Using the default document settings I've set up breaks plasTeX, but it shouldn't be too difficult to transform the output LaTeX document if needed. All that aside, plasTeX does look really interesting--and I'll definitely pursue it.

toggle math mode
Hi, I'm very used to writing math in plain latex. For me, this works much easier than using the visual math editor. In lyx, I found out that I could write a large formula in plain latex, then select it and click the 'math mode' button and it would convert the formula to its graphical equivalent, which is great. However, I haven't been able to find out how I can change from the graphical display back to the latex source again. This would be very useful, because then I could edit the function in plain latex and toggle to graphical display again. Is this possible in lyx? Thanks, Joris van Zwieten

Change tracking in LyX and multiple users
Hi, I want to track changes in LyX in the same way that I do with my computer programs in C++, and for that purpose I use CVS. I look at the mail list but did not found relevant information about this. How do you generally track the changes in your documents ? what do you think is the best system ? Do you recommend CVS or another one ? By the way, my objective is also to have several users working on the same LyX document at the same time. What do you think is the best approach ? Thanks Horacio

heading is missing in one page
Hi I write my md-thesis with lyx, report(koma-script). As Pagestyle I chose "headings". It works fine except in Chapter 5 there is no heading following.

Enumarating lists and continuation at particular depth
Hi All, I know it could be treated as lame question, but: How to create something like this in LyX: This is an example of a list: 1. LyX is cool (first level) (a) Something new (second level) (b) Something old (second level) But many things needs time to understand (continuation of the 1st) 2. LaTeX generated really nice looking documents (first level) (a) Element one at second level (b) Element two at second level and here it goes the continuation of the first level 3. Next element at first level (a) Element at second level 4. Next element at first level (no continuation from previous point) What I need is to continue the text at particular level before I put new enumerated position on the list. Now I put "standard" paragraph for continuations, but I loose formating and continuous enumeration then. Any advices??
