Text to path is off by default for "normal" text but it is always used for
the special "LaTeX formula" text. 

Thus you have the options to:

* use normal text for placeholders and replace with psfrag 
  
  - additional ERT in document needed,
  + font settings of the current document apply,
  + possibility to change replacement text and font without need to edit the
graphic.

* use Effects>Render>LaTeX formula (works for non-formula text as well)

  - font settings of the currently non-configurable script eqtexsvg.py apply.
(should be the default font settings of the system).

  + WYSIWYG text in the graphic facilitates alignment, sizing, and rotation.
  
  + No ERT needed in the LyX document.

this will open the nomencl documentation (nomencl.pdf) on a texlive system.
Section 5.1 Subgroups will help further.

Unfortunately, you cannot pass options to nomencl with LyX but this should
not stand in the way here...

Dear Charles your naive confidence that anyone can do this has emboldened me to
study script composition. There is indeed sed in os x and it seems to follow the
rules you are using, as I could verify easily with the simplest uses of it, the
ones that simply print the modified text to the screen.  And cp and the use of
obnoxiously so-called variables seems to be the same: the framing you use to
capture the modified text (which I don't quite understand yet) does make a
quasi-copy of zeta.tex called temp-zeta.tex. Things go well as long as the
"find-and-replace"-like actions I put into your framing are like s/me/you/g or
s/Athens/Jerusalem/g . But the use of / and \ and ' in tex and in the scripting
language, if that's what you call it - each wanting to use them both as its own
proper symbols and as 'escaped' or however you put it - inevitably leads to an
impenetrable salad of slashes, and the solution that works for you seems to lead
to misunderstanding here. I sort of follow the difficulty as long as I am
thinking of latex only.

So I am studying, but must give up for the night. This is hard! I will get back
to you if I fall into despair.  It's exam week, so I will have ample raw
materials when the .doc term papers hit my electronic mailbox late Friday
afternoon. Perhaps by then I will be able, with the application of a few
skillfully executed keystrokes, to convert the whole directory-full of them into
a handsomely decorated volume in the Memoir class, each as a subordinate
chapter. yours ever Michael

Creating Feynman diagrams using Feynmf and LyX

[Real87]

Hi

I'm trying to produce Feynman diagrams using LyX. I've already tried to use
the  http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/FeynmanDiagrams feyn  package but it is too
restrictive. Therefore I'm trying to use a much more powerful package called 
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/feynmf/ feynmf .
However, there are some compatibility issues with LyX:

- When using the package feynmf (metafont based) there are some problems
when the latex code is converted into .dvi, .pdf or .ps: one needs to
compile twice, since in the first time a error message appears.
Additionally, when the source code is modified the font files are not
updated.

- When using the package feynmp (metapost based) there is no output at all
(the document is blank).

Here is a LyX test file:  http://www.nabble.com/file/p16810095/test.lyx
test.lyx .

BTW, I'm using LyX 1.5.4 with an updated MiKTeX 2.6.
Contact me for additional clarification.

Thank you for your attention.

Re: How to do it in LyX?

[Salát Máté]

Thanks, Uwe!

I haven't seen this "Math manual", maybe that's the problem... :)

Where can I find it? I ended up on the page 
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/DocumentationDevelopment#Math. Here the Math.pdf is 
"Not Found". I could download a single file named Math.lyx, but in spite of the 
required packages are installed, at the opening it complains about some missing 
layout file (http://screencast.com/t/gbkVlMCK), a lot of included pictures are 
missing, and when I try to compile it, there is no information to do it 
(http://screencast.com/t/2TqTZKg42D6). What do they mean, and what shell I do 
to fix them?

I'm rather inexperienced with LaTeX and LyX, trying to use the latter to

"Topological Vector Spaces". Is there any way I can fix this, or get rid of

Also, is there a way to remove or lessen the empty space above the title on

I've seen this problem, too. I think it's a LyX bug. Please file a

Did you first run LyX before you installed TeX? If so, you'll need to run
LyX > Reconfigure. Then it should locate your TeX installation and recognize
all your document classes.

If not, try running reconfigure anyway. If that doesn't work, what version
of TeX are you using?

why are the table too wide?

[Jon Bendtsen]

Hi

Why are the table too wide? I dont want to spent time fixing the table  
width. I suggest 2 possible options if the table is too wide.


1) scale font so all text can be there in one line
2) break the text inside the table into multiple lines

I paste my w2lclean script that I run on files converted by writer2latex
before importing them into LyX. It is geared for French but can easily be
adapted. It uses sed (a command line search&replace that is standard on
Unix). I guess it will work on Mac OS/X. 

sh w2lclean Myconvertedfile.tex will create a temp-Myconvertedfile.tex that
you can then import into LyX.

For en-dash problem, you have to create a rule to convert space-space to
space--space

Cheers,
Charles
