Re: Lyx cross platform compatability - is there a problem?
I think explanation to the problem is fact that Mac new line character (EOL) is CR, Windows is CR+LF, and Unix is LF. For compatibility most Unix based applications ported to Windows handles only LF from these two, so on Windows options were seen as in separate lines, while on Mac until explicitely specified lines were not seen. But this is my speculation. 2008/8/19 Graham Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > On 19 Aug 2008, at 19:57, Christian Ridderström wrote: > > On Tue, 19 Aug 2008, Graham Smith wrote: >> >> As you will see, from my other post, the issue was a leading comma in the >>> preamble, setting the Komascript options. >>> >>> It seems that both the Mac and Linux are forgiving of this syntax error, >>> but Windows is not. >>> >>> So it isn't a Windows issue >>> >> >> Hi Graham, >> >> I'm glad you solved the problem. >> >> regards, >> Christian >> > > I'm glad it was that simple. > > Graham > > -- Manveru jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] gg: 1624001 http://www.manveru.pl

Hi all! I'm trying to add a new "file format" in the preferences dialogue. However, the Add button is greyed out. What am I missing? Using LyX 1.5.3 on Ubuntu Linux Thanks in advance.

Oh,
Maybe I do understand it. Is a layout module just a chunk of debugged
LyX/LaTeX code that would normally go in a layout file, and gets included in
the layout file by reference? So you could mix and match layout modules to
get a more granular modularization, similar to #include in C?
So is it a way to write once, use many times? Is it a way to use
known-debugged LyX/LaTeX code? And is it a way for all of us to trade
debugged and tested code without throwing in every silly little feature we
put in our book?

This layout module is simply adding the definitions to the preamble.
Then, when you type in a formula \erf for instance, it will not be
interpreted by LyX (unless you use preview-latex stuff). But when
generating the pdf, they will be correctly interpreted as functions
(i.e. not in italic, and with a small space afterwards).
The advantage of having them in a layout module is that you do not have

Of course if someone has any ideas to provide more functionality, any

You can also have layouts that will create text styles or environments,

Re: Lyx cross platform compatability - is there a problem?
Christian, As you will see, from my other post, the issue was a leading comma in the preamble, setting the Komascript options. It seems that both the Mac and Linux are forgiving of this syntax error, but Windows is not. So it isn't a Windows issue, but a sloppy syntax issue on my part. Thanks for your help.

Hi Graham, I'm forwarding your post to the developers' list. We'd greatly appreciate a small example file that demonstrates the problem, can you supply one?

I have not tried, but should there not be a %-sign at the end of each

So this is I believe not a cross-platform issue but wrong syntax (which
happens to be forgiven or not depending on the platform and Koma version).
Try putting everything on one line, i.e.
\KOMAoptions{fromalign=right, fromrule=aftername ,fromlogo=true,
backaddress=false} and I am almost sure everything works.

Hello, I am writing my thesis and each chapter is in a separate folder. Now, How do you make the references appear in a separate file in the order they appeared within the chapters? Thank you -- Hesham

Usually most of the non-standard classes has to be installed manually. Look at Help > LaTeX Configuration. If it says "Found: no" for a class, than it is not installed.

Re: Melissa Woolston/GB/INT/Kelly is out of the office.
This is not first time, when some unwanted people are subscribed to the list. Maybe word "unwanted" is inadequate here... let's say they generated unwanted garbage from time to time. Unanswered question is are they add themselves some time ago or someone add them mistakenly (evil or not - does not matter). I think someone should be moderator on this list able to manually disable or unsubscribe people, who asking about it. Automated "vacations" and responders do not recognize lists and replies to everyone who to the list. That is why it is better to have multiple mail accounts or separation system (procmail based for example). 2008/8/19 Jürgen Spitzmüller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Manveru wrote: > > Would be nice... > > > > I am wondering who was so funny and add them to the lyx list??? > > I don't think this is evil intention.

Melissa kindly asked for help unsubscribing herself, some people assisted her, but obviously they didn't succeed. I have now asked our mailing list maintainer to unsubscribe Melissa from the list. I hope this will finish the story. Jürgen
