Tutorial for Devanagari Documents in LyX (from FOSS-Nepal)
-- Forwarded message -- From: Prakash Manandhar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2008/6/21 Subject: [FOSS-Nepal] Tutorial for Devanagari Documents in LyX To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Suraj Adhikari (GMail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, I have written a tutorial for Devanagari Document creation in LyX at WikiHow. LyX/LaTeX is a word processing alternative that is completely open source and free. Summary: With the incorporation of XeLaTeX in all major distributions of LaTeX including MikTeX, it has become easy to incorporate Devanagari and other Unicode characters in LaTeX/LyX documents. Here we describe a point-wise summary to help you do just that. http://www.wikihow.com/Create-Devanagari-Documents-in-Lyx-Using-Xelatex - Please help me expand/test the how-to.

And, you can edit the *LyX* source in any text editor. I do it all the time. For instance, I have a VimOutliner to LyX converter that writes LyX source code, I have an Ebook personalizer that replaces a variable with the customer's name. Sometimes, when faced with a confusing LyX problem, I'll go in with Vim, look around, and maybe even do some diagnostic changes.

You should be able to open any LyX document in any text editor. --- On Sat, 6/21/08, Mehmet Engin Tozal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Mehmet Engin Tozal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Editing Original Source Tex File > To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org > Received: Saturday, June 21, 2008, 5:55 AM > Dear Sir/Madam > I am a new lyx user.

However, you can insert LaTeX commands via Insert->TeX Code or the red "TeX" button or Ctrl-l. HTH, Jürgen
Editing Original Source Tex File
Dear Sir/Madam I am a new lyx user. I really liked the user interface. However, I'd like to edit the source file of the document that I am working on. I can view the source file but it is not editable, so I cannot add latex commands to the source file. I appreciate if you could suggest me a way to solve the problem Sincerely, Mehmet Engin Tozal
