Re: [announce] preview test release of LyX 1.6.0rc5 for Windows
Thanks Uwe, It works like a charm and I have installed the small version to be used with TexLive2005. I have a strange problem with RC5. I have a crash-test latex document of 150 pages with graphics and everything that I try to import in each new candidate. RC3 is perfectly able to import it but RC5 is not. Just after the beginning of the import process, it tells me that the lyx file is from an older version and that relyx can notr convert it. The first time, I have thought that this was due to the presence of an older import in the folder but I get the message even if I erase the lyx file before beginning the import. Very strange indeed... I hope that RC5 is not less stable than RC3 at the end ;-) A question, I have installed RC5 along the RC3 installation, following Uwe's suggestion. Can this be a source of problem?

Re: Lyx 1.5.3 not showing references from Jabref 2.3.1
Hi, I have a very similar problem to the original poster. I am using Lyx 1.6 in Windows XP and Jabref 2.4.1. I can insert citations into my lyx file as normal and they seem fine. I can also amend my .bib file in Jabref and the new citations appear for insertion into lyx as normal. However, when trying to view my document as a PDF or DVI or PS my citations appear as '?' in the text and nothing appears below my References heading. I have updated the MikTex install and searching for .bst files reveals a folder c:\Program Files\Miktex2.7\bibtex\bst\ with a load of .bst files so I don't think its down to missing class files. I am using Natbib in Document - Settings and unsrtnat.bst (which I set by clicking on the Bibliography insert), however I have tried various combinations of alternative settings without any luck. I have also checked the Jabref file for any incomplete or flagged references which may be causing issues with the first latex run however there is nothing obviously wrong there. I have attached the .log file from my attempted conversions. Can you guys offer any help? I'm pulling my hair out and have a deadline on Monday.

Of course. To view your PDF use the corrsponding toolbar button, to export it, use the menu File- Export-PDF(pdflatex).

Re: links to bibliography
found the solution myself, it's inside the extended documentation file:
short: include the bibliography-file inside a comment, s.th. like
\begin{comment}
\include{bibliography.lyx}
\end{comment}

Hi there,
I've splitted my document into seperate files. S.th. like
mergefile.lyx
cover.lyx
tableOfContents.lyx
chapter1.lyx
chapter2.lyx
bibliography.lyx
the mergefile itself only includes the four other files. So, if I create
a PDF out of mergefile, everything looks finde, the numbering of the
chapters is great.
BUT: Now I added a entry into the bibliography (-bibliography.lyx) and
want to refer inside of chapter1 (-chapter1.lyx). But, of course,
chapter1 isn't aware of the entries inside the bibliography.
How do I make chapter1 aware of those entries, without including the
document (because then, I would have it twice)?

I only have RC5 running on this PC and when I try to open an RC4 file I get an error message that the file was created in an earlier version and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it. New files are OK. LyX says that whenever the conversion process fails. It could fail for lots of reasons. I'm guessing it may have to do with the python version, as there have been some other issues about that, and I don't believe there was any format change from rc4 to rc5. If you could run lyx2lyx from a terminal, you may get more info. rh

Displaymath at the bottom (LyX1.6RC5)
Dear LyX users and developers, It occurs to me that when I am entering display math at a point where the LyX window has nothing to show below (at the bottom of your screen), leaving the display-math takes me back to part before the display-math (instead of moving forward). This problem does not occur if you have written the text to follow. It is only when you have blank to follow. Could you confirm this behaviour please? Let me know if I have been unable to express the problem (I am not a native english speaker). Mukhtar

The installation instructions typically are something like this (from the calendar package): INSTALLATION The simplest way to install the tools in the package is to make a subdirectory in the search path of your TeX, FTP all of the source files to that directory, and run latex allcal.ins.

Re: [announce] preview test release of LyX 1.6.0rc5 for Windows
Thanks Uwe, It works like a charm and I have installed the small version to be used with TexLive2005. I have a strange problem with RC5. I have a crash-test latex document of 150 pages with graphics and everything that I try to import in each new candidate. RC3 is perfectly able to import it but RC5 is not. Just after the beginning of the import process, it tells me that the lyx file is from an older version and that relyx can notr convert it. The first time, I have thought that this was due to the presence of an older import in the folder but I get the message even if I erase the lyx file before beginning the import. Very strange indeed... I hope that RC5 is not less stable than RC3 at the end ;-) A question, I have installed RC5 along the RC3 installation, following Uwe's suggestion.

Re: Lyx 1.5.3 not showing references from Jabref 2.3.1
Hi, I have a very similar problem to the original poster. I am using Lyx 1.6 in Windows XP and Jabref 2.4.1. I can insert citations into my lyx file as normal and they seem fine. I can also amend my .bib file in Jabref and the new citations appear for insertion into lyx as normal.

Re: pdftex export option
Of course. To view your PDF use the corrsponding toolbar button, to export it, use the menu File- Export-PDF(pdflatex). Thanks.. so looks like pdftex and pdflatex are the same thing huh.. sorry for the silly qn then.. reason I asked was that when I view DVI using TexShop it shows Pdftex as the Typeset and it seems that the fonts are better (more solid lines) in this view than in the PDF generated via any of the export options when viewed using Acrobat. So I was trying to see if it was possible to obtain the same quality in the PDF export from LyX..

RC3 is perfectly able to import it but RC5 is not. Just after the beginning of the import process, it tells me that the lyx file is from an older version and that relyx can notr convert it. The first time, I have thought that this was due to the presence of an older import in the folder but I get the message even if I erase the lyx file before beginning the import. Very strange indeed... I hope that RC5 is not less stable than RC3 at the end ;-) A question, I have installed RC5 along the RC3 installation, following Uwe's suggestion.

Dear LyX users and developers, It occurs to me that when I am entering display math at a point where the LyX window has nothing to show below (at the bottom of your screen), leaving the display-math takes me back to part before the display-math (instead of moving forward). This problem does not occur if you have written the text to follow. It is only when you have blank to follow. Could you confirm this behaviour please? Let me know if I have been unable to express the problem (I am not a native english speaker). Mukhtar

If I create a new document, type Hi there, Ctrl-Shift-M for display math, enter x, then hit space, I am behind the inset, and if I now type Hi again, it's on the next line. rh

Maybe Mukhtar is using math in an arabic document? In which case Mukhtar I suggest that you switch to visual cursor movement in the preference settings. Abdel.

When you start a new document, type Hi there, and start display math, LyX can accomodate the new stuff you write on the screen. Try to type some more text until you are at the bottom of your screen so that you need to scroll in order to see down. Now do Ctrl-Shift-M for display math, and Mukhtar

epsilon and varepsilon
Hello, I encountered a problem when trying to use \epsilon and \varepsilon symbols. When I typed these symbols in the math mode, they look different in the LyX window. However, in the PDF made using pdfLaTeX and in the DVI the symbols look identical. What can I do to make the pdfLaTeX distinguish between the two ? I am using LyX 1.5.5 Thanks, Eli
Re: pdftex export option
baseliner schrieb: Thanks.. so looks like pdftex and pdflatex are the same thing huh.. pdflatex is the program that accesses pdftex. So I was trying to see if it was possible to obtain the same quality in the PDF export from LyX.. For more informations, have a look at our Wiki FAQ about PDFs. regards Uwe

Let me add to this that if you have your math toolbars at the bottom of the screen, and if you insert or enter a math inset, the auto-appearing math toolbars will block the math you wanted to edit. The screen is moved up when you press any key, but it is annoying not to be able to see the math you were planning to edit. Thanks, Abdel. Vincent

I think you should bundle it in he installer. This should be delivered by the LaTeX distribution. It turned out that ChkTeX is available in TeXLive but not MiKTeX. The MiKTeX maintainer reported me once that he had problems to compile it on Windows, but this was long ago. I would like when you contact the MiKTeX maintainer (Christian Schenk cs/at\miktex*org) and ask what he needs to be able to compile it. I'm sure he will add ChkTeX then to MiKTeX. regards Uwe
correction for [announce] preview test release of LyX 1.6.0rc5 for Windows
I wrote: I uploaded an installer for the fifth release candidate of the upcoming LyX version 1.6.0 for Windows. The installer for this, version 4.11 used the new Python 2.6. Unfortunately I forgot to add some Python files so that users without having Python installed weren't able to configure LyX leading to various problems. I just uploaded installer version 4.12 that fixes this: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=15325 Please report when there are still problems. sorry for the inconvenience and regards Uwe
