Re: kslt2pro.lyx letter template undefined control sequence after changing language setting
Graham Smith a écrit :
I am trying to use this template from the Lyx wiki which defaults to
French when I open it. But it compiles without any trouble.
Changing the language settings from French to British (and
reconfiguring) gives me three undefined control sequence errors when I
try to compile.
If I don't load the lco file, it compiles OK but obviously with aspect
missing.
If I comment out lines in the lco file, it seems that two of the
undefined control sequences are linked to the firsthead code, and one of
the undefined control sequences is associated with the firstfoot coding.
I can't see where the errors might be and wondered if anyone had gone
through the same language conversion issues. Jean-Marie has been helping
me with some other issues but I am hoping someone has gone through this
specific French to British problem.
I found two control sequences which seem to be french specific in the
NFpro.lco options file. You should replace at line 53 \no by n° and
at line 74 \nombre{1234,56} by 1234,56.
I don't know why three errors were reported as it compiles now OK in
english language with these two modifications.

If I understood you correctly (!): What do you need LyX for in the first place ?!? You want to write an accounting software, which programatically creates (or modifies) tex-files which then are typeset into PDF (or whatever) using latex/pdflatex? Then how does LyX fit in there? Of course you could also create LyX files programatically, but that only adds an extra layer (with IMHO little benefit). LyX is not a latex editor, it is a document processor (for writing), which happens to use latex-machinery for creating output. Or I got you completely wrong ... /Konrad

I'd like to generate a PDF file where the figures/images are not incorporated into it, but rather have links that points to external image files (jpeg, eps, and whatnot).

I am in the planning stages of a cross platform accounting program and need a solution for reports, invoices, estimates, etc. After looking at the various options Latex looks like it might be the way to go. Unfortunately, I did not find any luck when trying to find a latex invoice example I could look at to see how it handles that sort of application, I see information indicating latex will work for the kind of thing I want but all the examples I've found are book/school report/letters, etc. Finally I stumbled onto the fact that a similarly targeted application, SQL-Ledger uses latex for its report templates and invoices. The documentation says to load it in an editor just use sed to replace the % characters with something else so that the editor doesn't mistake the placeholders for comments. When I try to import the Default-invoice.tex file into Lyx I get this: The layout file requested by the document, scrartcl.layout, is not usable. This is probably because a latex class or style file required by it is not is not available. See the customization documentation for more information. Lyx will not be able to produce output. If I look at the source of the file it does list scrartcl. I thought this might be something with SQL-Ledger but ultimately found that the scrartcl.layout is included with Lyx not with SQL-Ledger. I'm not so much worried about viewing/editing the file now as I am about being able to assist users in editing these files if I opt to use them. Can you post the file in question? Perhaps someone can them debug this. rh

I'd recommend splitidx. It's most suitable for LyX and works pretty well. Jürgen

It would seem so. If yes, then you have to have that class installed in your LaTeX distro, and the message from LyX suggests that you don't. LyX flags layouts as unusable if the corresponding LaTeX class is not installed. Run 'kpsewhich scrartcl.cls' in a command shell to see if you've got it. If not, install it, update your LaTeX file name database, then reconfigure and restart LyX. /Paul

If I understood you correctly (!): What do you need LyX for in the first place ?!? You want to write an accounting software, which programatically creates (or modifies) tex-files which then are typeset into PDF (or whatever) using latex/pdflatex? Then how does LyX fit in there? Of course you could also create LyX files programatically, but that only adds an extra layer (with IMHO little benefit). LyX is not a "latex editor", it is a document processor (for writing), which happens to use latex-machinery for creating output. Or I got you completely wrong ... /Konrad
Links to external images in PDF generated by LyX.
I'd like to generate a PDF file where the figures/images are not incorporated into it, but rather have links that points to external image files (jpeg, eps, and whatnot). Doing that, I can restrict the size of each individual size instead of generating a large PDF file with everything in it... Is it possible to do something like this using LyX/LaTeX?

When you use Natbib you must use a Natbib compatible bibliography
style, like: plainnat, unsrtnat, or abbrvnat.

It is one feature that, if it worked smoothly, would make me use LyX for all my writing. Cheers, Alan > > Jürgen >

Hi Rudi, I am not sure if I understand your question correctly: (1) Do want to have links in the PDF (like URLs) the user can click onto to open the (external) material, which can be an image or whatever? Well, this can be achieved with the hyperref LaTeX package and LyX's built-in support for simple URLs (Insert->URL). More sophisticated things are possible with using hyperref commands in ERT. Take a look at the LyX manuals and the hyperref package documentation. (2) Or do you want the figures to be visible in the PDF, but nevertheless loaded from external files when the PDF file is opened (like an external graphics in Word)? I have never seen something like this. To my best knowledge, PDF files have to be self-contained. So this is most probably not possible. Daniel

Re: Conflict with Hyperref + Floats?
Hi, I just wanted to report that it worked. There were a few bits in the documentation that were a bit confusing, but otherwise worked well. I will have to confirm whether things work differently/better on 1.6 soon. Thanks.
