Preamble code not working
Hi! all
I have been able to use XeTeX directly from Lyx by changing the pdftex
command to xelatex $$i in LyX preferences, and declaring fonts for
XeTeX in the preamble.
However, I have to declare \catcodeAD=\active \def^^ad{} in the
preamble to remove soft hyphens appearing mid-line. As soon as I
insert that code in the preamble, Xelatex no longer works. But after
exporting to pdflatex and opening in the TexMaker, it works perfectly
again.
Can someone help me out again?
with respect and appreciation

How can I remove the entry on chapter level?
By default, nomencl does not insert anything to the TOC, unless you have
entered the option intoc (in Document-Settings-Class-Options). Remove that

Re: Exporting non-unicode characters to Latex
Uwe Stöhr wrote:
As LyX 1.5.3 is Unicode-compliant, my tex editor supports unicode
characters, and XeTeX can access all unicode fonts in the operating
system, I do not need in my latex file the tex formatting for
diacritics, e.g., \={a}, \d{m}, \~n, etc..
How should I prevent such formatting in the LaTeX file that I export
from LyX?
This can be done by changing the corresponding entries in the file
unicodesymbols that is part of LyX. This file is designed, to translate
unicode characters to commands that are suppoerted by certain
LaTeX-packages.
Even better, chose the inputencoding utf8-plain. Then you can export without
messing up the unicodesymbols file. You can even directly process with xetex,
cf.
http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/XeTeX
Support for XeTeX won't be in the next version 1.6 that will released this
year. Personally, I plan to support it in LyX 1.7. But this requires, that
XeTeX is better supported by existing LaTeX packages.
Actually, I have some support for it in my tree. I'm not sure I'll finish that
in time, though.

Re: Repeating numbered Examples
Hi, Jürgen, thanks for your reply. I'm not sure I've understood your solution: I must copy and paste the text of the repeated example and place a crossref before, enclosed by two ERT calls, one with an opening bracket, the other with a closing bracket. Is that right? The problem if I do that is that the example does not have the same format as normal numbered examples. So, for instance, The line-spacing is not respected. Anyway, have I understood the solution you proposed? Thanks again, Manolo Jürgen Spitzmüller escribió: Manolo Martínez wrote: I'm writing a paper using numbered examples, with Covington.sty.

It depends how you insert the covington examples. If you use the layout from
the LinguistLyX wiki page [1], you just have to insert another Numbered
Example, copy the text from the first example and put in crossref and
bracket in that example, at the beginning of the line.
In LaTeX, the output must look like this:
\begin{examples}
\item First example\label{exa:first}
\item Second example
\end{examples}
Some text
\begin{examples}
\item Third Example
\item [(\ref{exa:first})] First example

No. You manually split the list at some point and insert a new
BeginFrame at the split point (including whatever title you like). So
the second slide has a title (barring a memory lapse on the author's
part), but if changes are made to the bullet lists (either
adding/deleting items or changing the text length, considerable manual
(re)tuning is in order. Were it not for the loss of overlays (which I
use extensively), I'd always use the allowframebreaks option.

Preamble code not working
Hi! all
I have been able to use XeTeX directly from Lyx by changing the pdftex
command to xelatex $$i in LyX preferences, and declaring fonts for
XeTeX in the preamble.
However, I have to declare \catcodeAD=\active \def^^ad{} in the
preamble to remove soft hyphens appearing mid-line. As soon as I
insert that code in the preamble, Xelatex no longer works. But after
exporting to pdflatex and opening in the TexMaker, it works perfectly
again.
Can someone help me out again?
with respect and appreciation

How can I remove the entry on chapter level?
By default, nomencl does not insert anything to the TOC, unless you have
entered the option intoc (in Document-Settings-Class-Options). Remove that
and it will work (if not, post an example file, please).

Re: Exporting non-unicode characters to Latex
Uwe Stöhr wrote:
As LyX 1.5.3 is Unicode-compliant, my tex editor supports unicode
characters, and XeTeX can access all unicode fonts in the operating
system, I do not need in my latex file the tex formatting for
diacritics, e.g., \={a}, \d{m}, \~n, etc..
How should I prevent such formatting in the LaTeX file that I export
from LyX?
This can be done by changing the corresponding entries in the file
unicodesymbols that is part of LyX. This file is designed, to translate
unicode characters to commands that are suppoerted by certain
LaTeX-packages.
Even better, chose the inputencoding utf8-plain. Then you can export without
messing up the unicodesymbols file. You can even directly process with xetex,
cf.
http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/XeTeX
Support for XeTeX won't be in the next version 1.6 that will released this
year. Personally, I plan to support it in LyX 1.7. But this requires, that
XeTeX is better supported by existing LaTeX packages.
Actually, I have some support for it in my tree. I'm not sure I'll finish that
in time, though.

Re: Repeating numbered Examples
Hi, Jürgen, thanks for your reply. I'm not sure I've understood your solution: I must copy and paste the text of the repeated example and place a crossref before, enclosed by two ERT calls, one with an opening bracket, the other with a closing bracket. Is that right? The problem if I do that is that the example does not have the same format as normal numbered examples. So, for instance, The line-spacing is not respected. Anyway, have I understood the solution you proposed? Thanks again, Manolo Jürgen Spitzmüller escribió: Manolo Martínez wrote: I'm writing a paper using numbered examples, with Covington.sty.

It depends how you insert the covington examples. If you use the layout from
the LinguistLyX wiki page [1], you just have to insert another Numbered
Example, copy the text from the first example and put in crossref and
bracket in that example, at the beginning of the line.
In LaTeX, the output must look like this:
\begin{examples}
\item First example\label{exa:first}
\item Second example
\end{examples}
Some text
\begin{examples}
\item Third Example
\item [(\ref{exa:first})] First example

No. You manually split the list at some point and insert a new
BeginFrame at the split point (including whatever title you like). So
the second slide has a title (barring a memory lapse on the author's
part), but if changes are made to the bullet lists (either
adding/deleting items or changing the text length, considerable manual
(re)tuning is in order. Were it not for the loss of overlays (which I
use extensively), I'd always use the allowframebreaks option.

Preamble code not working
Hi! all
I have been able to use XeTeX directly from Lyx by changing the pdftex
command to "xelatex $$i" in LyX preferences, and declaring fonts for
XeTeX in the preamble.
However, I have to declare \catcode"AD=\active \def^^ad{} in the
preamble to remove soft hyphens appearing mid-line. As soon as I
insert that code in the preamble, Xelatex no longer works. But after
exporting to pdflatex and opening in the TexMaker, it works perfectly
again.
Can someone help me out again?
with respect and appreciation

Laurent Duperval a écrit : Hi, I noticed that the first page of a Koma letter2 is shorter than the rest of the pages. How can I make it be the same length? The reason I want this is because I have two lines of text on the second page of a two-page letter. I want it all on the first page, and it looks like it should fit correctly. Thanks, L You can add the line ",enlargefirstpage=true" at the end of the class options in the preamble (between the lines "%,refline=wide%" and "}") in my lyx version. HTH -- jean-marie pacquet

By default, nomencl does not insert anything to the TOC, unless you have
entered the option intoc (in Document->Settings->Class->Options). Remove that
and it will work (if not, post an example file, please).

Even better, chose the inputencoding "utf8-plain". Then you can export without
messing up the unicodesymbols file. You can even directly process with xetex,

Re: Repeating numbered Examples
Hi, Jürgen, thanks for your reply. I'm not sure I've understood your solution: I must copy and paste the text of the repeated example and place a crossref before, enclosed by two ERT calls, one with an opening bracket, the other with a closing bracket. Is that right? The problem if I do that is that the example does not have the same format as normal numbered examples. So, for instance, The line-spacing is not respected. Anyway, have I understood the solution you proposed? Thanks again, Manolo Jürgen Spitzmüller escribió: Manolo Martínez wrote: I'm writing a paper using numbered examples, with Covington.sty.

It depends how you insert the covington examples. If you use the layout from
the LinguistLyX wiki page [1], you just have to insert another "Numbered
Example", copy the text from the first example and put in crossref and
bracket in that example, at the beginning of the line.
In LaTeX, the output must look like this:
\begin{examples}
\item First example\label{exa:first}
\item Second example
\end{examples}
Some text
\begin{examples}
\item Third Example
\item [(\ref{exa:first})] First example
\end{examples}

This is what I do, and I don't see the numbered slide titles as a
disadvantage at all. It tells the audience that I'm still on the same topic
as the previous slide(s). Makes it easier for those still awake to know
where we are.
I suspect that the \setcounter{enum}{3} approach leaves the slide untitled,
and that may not communicate as well with the audience.

Re: LyX on Windows Vista
It seems there's a problem in the path to the default PDF viewer. If I added the full path to Acrobat Reader in the file format configuration as follows: c:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\READER~1.0\Reader\acrord32.exe after rendering the PDF, the reader is run but gets hung with about 49% of the processor used. Then if I add quotation marks to the path like: "c:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\READER~1.0\Reader\acrord32.exe" it works just fine, but when I close and reload LyX, the path is moved to the editor field (instead of the viewer field), check marks for the document format and the vectorial graphic format are cleared and both quotation marks are put at the end of the path, rendering the document format unusable (and, of course, it doesn't get shown in the "View" menu): c:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\READER~1.0\Reader\acrord32.exe"" So, can it be a LyX related problem, more than an installer related one?

disadvantage at all. It tells the audience that I'm still on the same topic
as the previous slide(s). Makes it easier for those still awake to know
where we are.
I'd test that myself if any of my students were still awake at that
point, but no joy. :-)
I suspect that the \setcounter{enum}{3} approach leaves the slide
untitled,
and that may not communicate as well with the audience.
No. You manually split the list at some point and insert a new
BeginFrame at the split point (including whatever title you like). So
the second slide has a title (barring a memory lapse on the author's
part), but if changes are made to the bullet lists (either
adding/deleting items or changing the text length, considerable manual
(re)tuning is in order. Were it not for the loss of overlays (which I
use extensively), I'd always use the allowframebreaks option.

Re: LyX on Windows Vista
I tried both installer and updated the Acrobat. With the official installer, problem #1 is fixed. I still have problem with #2. LyX error: I cannot write on file xxx.pdf.
