Hello!
It looks like - and it's like that for at least a year now - that I
cannot create key-bindings using C (the ctrl button), but only using M
(the alt button).
Keybindings can be configured in the LyX GUI since 1.6. (available from
Debian/testing).
Which keybindings emulation (cua.bind, emacs.bind, ...)
For example:
\bind M-m 7 math-insert \psi
is working great.
\bind C-g y math-insert \psi
is not working at all.
Could be a keybindings clash.
And I even tried this cute one:
\bind ψ math-insert \psi
Which is also not working.
This cannot work, as the key-name argument to \bind must be in ASCII.
(You would have to find out the name used by QT for psi.)
However, you could adapt the unicodesymbols file (place a copy in
~/.lyx/unicodesymbols) and change
- 0x03c8 \\textgreek{y} textgreek # GREEK SMALL LETTER PSI
+ 0x03c8 \\textgreek{y} textgreek mathalpha \\psi # GREEK
SMALL LETTER PSI
and you should be able to use an unicode ψ in math (untested).

Re: Re: lyx pipe and skim
However, it WORKS for me (with or without the full path to lyxeditor,
or with the LyX preference in Skim) when Shift-Option-Command-click in
Skim (instead of Option-Click).
Actually, only Shift-Command-Click (without Option) is needed.
It is documented on the Skim Wiki, but the Help is wrong. I reported it
to Skim.

Thanks, that works! I thought I had tried out all the two-modifier
combinations...
Incidentally, it is also possible to use the option
pdflatex -synctex=1 $$i
for the latex to pdf converter in LyX.
For this, you need a recent TeX distribution, e.g. TeXlive 2008.
This removes the need of \usepackage{pdfsync} in the preamble and lets
you keep a pure LaTeX source. Skim supports inverse searching with
synctex, I tested it.
cheers, Nils

paragraph numbering reset and TOC problem in pdf
Hello!
While using the article (koma-script) document class, I would like to
have my section numbering, instead of continuing the numbering in part
II (by default I obtained Part II - Section 3 - Section 4 etc) like this:
Part I
Section 1
Section 2
...
Part II
Section 1
Section 2
...
A friend of mine gave me the latex option \setcounter{section}{0}
which I used. It worked for the section numbering, but now I have TOC
issues in the pdf: when I click for example on Section 1 in Part 2, it
sends me to Section 1... in Part 1!!
Do you have any idea as to how obtain the numbering I would like (even
if it becomes Section 1.1, Section 1.2 and in Part II Section 2.1 etc
for example) without the corresponding TOC issue in the pdf?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!!!

vref – Errors keep repeating
Dear LyX-users, I am about to finally finish my diploma thesis using LyX 1.5.5 (on latest OS X Tiger and MacTeX) and a highly customized setup (XeTeX, biblatex, the SVG-inclusion and so on) with the Memoir class. First of all, my work experience with LyX was really great so far and I don’t think, I will ever switch back to the solutions I used before (Word, OOWriter, Pages, Scribus and plain LaTeX). However, all through my work progress I had these vref-Errors fading in and out all the time. Usually, they could be fixed by deleting them and reinserting them again; in some cases where they could not be fixed, I tried not to bother and thought about simply writing them manually at the very end. But now there is this one error that I cannot solve, I cannot even find the proper the reference that it seems to refer to (even though double-clicking on the error seems to take me to the place in the LyX document): Package varioref Error: \vref } Please check the pages in question. You might need to replace the \vref or \vpageref by a normal \(page)ref to stop LaTeX running forever. My LyX preamble can be found here: http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0303098/public/lyxpreamble.txt The error appears to happen somewhere here: falsch \emph default zu entscheiden und dass ein wohlgesonnener Einzelherrscher, der immer das Allgemeinwohl im Blick habe, hilfreich dabei sein könnte, die Gesellschaft in moderne Herrschaftsstrukturen zu überführen.

c. I have restarted LyX. Nothing has changed: I am clicking ψ on my

d. I have tried to add the line to the original file in /usr/share/...

Re: LyX and Docbook/XML
Back in 2001, switching away from writing books in MS Word (yeah, laugh all you want), I considered both LyX and DocBook. At the time, the only free software front end I could find for DocBook was Emacs, and my wrists just aren't that flexible. LyX benefits: * VERY fast writing environment. 3000 words per day no problem if you think that fast. * WYSIWYG enough that you don't need to switch between input view and output view. * Very nice presentation on paper with little effort. * Easy to tweak with an editor if the LyX front end doesn't cut it for a task. * Lots of LaTeX packages to do specialized stuff. LyX disadvantages: * Creating or modifying styles is excruciatingly difficult and requires LaTeX/TeX knowledge. HTH SteveT On Friday 21 November 2008 11:18:35 am Ethan Metsger wrote: Hi, all.

At the time, the only free software front end I could find for DocBook was Emacs, and my wrists just aren't that flexible. Hi, Steve. Thanks for your comments. My issue at this point isn't converting to LyX--I already know I *want* to use it. The issue is that management prefers to avoid LaTeX and instead opt for our local industry standard, which is DocBook. We're also involved in the XML databinding business, so spending some extra time with XML-related technologies is more comfortable in general. LyX works well with DocBook/SGML (save for a few problems I've had with images). DocBook, however, is transitioning away from SGML to XML, and LyX doesn't support the XML format as well as I need. My attempts to transform the XML export into HTML failed, and I think this is because the XML export from LyX is not compatible. If LyX isn't DocBook/XML-ready, that's fine--I'll continue using it for my one-off docs that I write for our customers. But if it can be fairly easily used to produce DocBook/XML, I'll press a bit harder for its adoption through the rest of the office. Thanks again for your thoughts, Ethan ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Alignment of Numbers
Dear all, This might seem an easy question, but I am new to Lyx and LaTeX in general. I have a table and want the numbers to be aligned at the full-stop. Having a minus sign in front of the number distorts the alignment. eg: 0.043 -0.274 1.429 Any suggestions? Many thanks George
Way behind on upgrading (Alt Installer), need some clarification
I stuck with LyX version 1.5.5 for a while now because of a big project I had going (call it superstition). I'm ready to upgrade, but I think I'll stick with 1.5.7 for a bit longer (ditto). I'm on Win XP and have a working install of MikTeX 2.7 (just updated). I have used Uwe's AltInstaller for all installations and updates until this point. I am looking to get an upgrade of ImageMagick, Ghostscript, Aspell, and GSView, but would prefer to leave MikTeX alone. I just read through the AltInstaller documentation and Wiki stuff again, but wanted to be sure -- If I run the Update Installer variant to 1.5.6 and then run the Complete Installer variant for 1.5.7, will that do what I want?

Then generate a PDF file for the whole book and use PDFTK to split it into the two volumes. You could use this tool to add a copy of the TOC to the second volume if desired. If you want separate page numbering for each volume, it's a bit more complicated. You would need to reset the page number at the beginning of Part 2, but I think this would give problems with cross references, the table of contents and the index. -- Les ~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

This is covered in part in section 2.12.2 of the Embedded Objects help
file. Assuming you just have numbers and nothing else in that column,
the easiest approach IMHO is to use the dcolumn package. Add
\usepackage{dcolumn}
to the preamble (and make sure you have the dcolumn LaTeX package
installed). In the table, right-click anywhere in the column of
numbers, click Settings, and put D{.}{.}{3} in the LaTeX argument entry
of the Table Settings tab. (This is in LyX 1.6.0; it works in earlier
versions, but right clicking in the column takes you directly to the
Table Settings tab.)

The good old LaTeX way is to use two column separated by a literal dot:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
12\\
34343234

To make this work in LyX, use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as LaTeX argument in the

middle button pasting
Hello.
I'm using lyx 1.6.0 under Debian Sid.
I've some problem with pasting with the mouse (I mean, the middle click to paste
the selection).
Within ERT, there seems to be something strange with the lang wich leads to
some extra brace in the tex file and to some errors or unexpected result.
Here's an example :
The first line is the original one,
the second, a pasted one, without modification, and the third one, pasted with
mouse and with modifications. The extra braces came from nowhere !
\psline[linewidth=0.8pt,linecolor=gray,linestyle=dotted]{-}(6.0625,6.0625)(6.0625,8.59375)
\psline[linewidth=0.8pt,linecolor=gray,linestyle=dotted]{-}(6.0625,6.0625)(6.0625,8.59375)
\psline[linewidth=0.8pt,linecolor=gray,linestyle=d{ash}ed]{-}({7}.0625,{7}.0625)({8}.0625,{9}.59375)
There's not such problem with the normal copy-paste.

Article rendering problem
I've recently upgraded to LyX 1.6 and using Windows XP. I use the document class article (Hebrew). I use the proof environment, but in the new version, after I render to pdf, the proof doesn't start at a new line. i.e in LyX I see: bla bla bla proof: bla bla 2 and after I render I see: bla bla bla proof bla bla 2 This happens with documents I edited with the previous version of LyX and they render fine with 1.5. What can I do? Another question - I use LyX mostly for summarizing lecture notes and I would like to have 2 option: 1) to create a list of theorems/claims 2) to create an exercise/solution and an example environments. Is that possible to do? Thanks for your help -- Amir Rachum

Hello!
It looks like - and it's like that for at least a year now - that I
cannot create key-bindings using C (the ctrl button), but only using M

Keybindings can be configured in the LyX GUI since 1.6. (available from
Debian/testing).
Which keybindings emulation (cua.bind, emacs.bind, ...)
For example:
\bind M-m 7 math-insert \psi
is working great.
\bind C-g y math-insert \psi
is not working at all.
Could be a keybindings clash.
And I even tried this cute one:
\bind ψ math-insert \psi
Which is also not working.
This cannot work, as the key-name argument to \bind must be in ASCII.
(You would have to find out the name used by QT for psi.)
However, you could adapt the unicodesymbols file (place a copy in
~/.lyx/unicodesymbols) and change
- 0x03c8 \\textgreek{y} textgreek # GREEK SMALL LETTER PSI
+ 0x03c8 \\textgreek{y} textgreek mathalpha \\psi # GREEK

and you should be able to use an unicode ψ in math (untested).

Thanks, that works! I thought I had tried out all the two-modifier
combinations...
Incidentally, it is also possible to use the option
pdflatex -synctex=1 $$i
for the latex to pdf converter in LyX.
For this, you need a recent TeX distribution, e.g. TeXlive 2008.
This removes the need of \usepackage{pdfsync} in the preamble and lets
you keep a pure LaTeX source. Skim supports inverse searching with
synctex, I tested it.

paragraph numbering reset and TOC problem in pdf
Hello!
While using the article (koma-script) document class, I would like to
have my section numbering, instead of continuing the numbering in part
II (by default I obtained Part II - Section 3 - Section 4 etc) like this:
Part I
Section 1
Section 2
...
Part II
Section 1
Section 2
...
A friend of mine gave me the latex option \setcounter{section}{0}
which I used. It worked for the section numbering, but now I have TOC
issues in the pdf: when I click for example on Section 1 in Part 2, it
sends me to Section 1... in Part 1!!
Do you have any idea as to how obtain the numbering I would like (even
if it becomes Section 1.1, Section 1.2 and in Part II Section 2.1 etc
for example) without the corresponding TOC issue in the pdf?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!!!

vref – Errors keep repeating
Dear LyX-users, I am about to finally finish my diploma thesis using LyX 1.5.5 (on latest OS X Tiger and MacTeX) and a highly customized setup (XeTeX, biblatex, the SVG-inclusion and so on) with the Memoir class. First of all, my work experience with LyX was really great so far and I don’t think, I will ever switch back to the solutions I used before (Word, OOWriter, Pages, Scribus and plain LaTeX). However, all through my work progress I had these vref-Errors fading in and out all the time. Usually, they could be fixed by deleting them and reinserting them again; in some cases where they could not be fixed, I tried not to bother and thought about simply writing them manually at the very end. But now there is this one error that I cannot solve, I cannot even find the proper the reference that it seems to refer to (even though double-clicking on the error seems to take me to the place in the LyX document): Package varioref Error: \vref } Please check the pages in question.

Anyway, I think all you need to do is to use the misnamed InsertShort

LyX can also be used to create a PDF. nitroPDF can then edit the PDF, although I use pdfTk for that. I'm assuming the reason you want to edit the PDF after it's created is to personalize and/or watermark your eBook. Personalization is pure LyX -- just have a token that gets put in the footer, have a script that replaces that token with the reader's name, so that the footer on the bottom reads: Prepared exclusively for John Customer As far as watermarking with a detectable sequence of bytes, I think you'll need something like pdfTk or nitroPDF for that. Also, if you're going to DRM the eBook (in which case your customers will hate you), you'll need something like pdfTk or nitroPDF to do that.

Re: Key bindings
Oh, sorry!
Only now I understood what you've said.
I did this:
a. copied the file unicodesymbols
from /usr/share/lyx1.5.1/unicodesymbols
to /home/peleg/.lyx1.5.1/unicodesymbols
b. opened the copy with vim. there was no 0x03c8 string there at all,
so instead of modifying the file, I have added this line:
0x03c8 \\textgreek{y} textgreek mathalpha \\psi #
GREEK SMALL LETTER PSI
c. I have restarted LyX. Nothing has changed: I am clicking ψ on my
keyboard and getting the usual non-mathematical ψ.
d. I have tried to add the line to the original file in /usr/share/...
instead of in my home folder. restarted LyX. Still the same.
e. I have read this correspondance:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg129516.html
(well, not all of it...) - still couldn't understand.
Any ideas?
Thanks ahead,

Re: LyX and Docbook/XML
Back in 2001, switching away from writing books in MS Word (yeah, laugh all you want), I considered both LyX and DocBook. At the time, the only free software front end I could find for DocBook was Emacs, and my wrists just aren't that flexible. LyX benefits: * VERY fast writing environment. 3000 words per day no problem if you think that fast. * WYSIWYG enough that you don't need to switch between input view and output view. * Very nice presentation on paper with little effort. * Easy to tweak with an editor if the LyX front end doesn't cut it for a task. * Lots of LaTeX packages to do specialized stuff. LyX disadvantages: * Creating or modifying styles is excruciatingly difficult and requires LaTeX/TeX knowledge. HTH SteveT On Friday 21 November 2008 11:18:35 am Ethan Metsger wrote: Hi, all.

At the time, the only free software front end I could find for DocBook was Emacs, and my wrists just aren't that flexible. Hi, Steve. Thanks for your comments. My issue at this point isn't converting to LyX--I already know I *want* to use it. The issue is that management prefers to avoid LaTeX and instead opt for our local industry standard, which is DocBook. We're also involved in the XML databinding business, so spending some extra time with XML-related technologies is more comfortable in general. LyX works well with DocBook/SGML (save for a few problems I've had with images). DocBook, however, is transitioning away from SGML to XML, and LyX doesn't support the XML format as well as I need. My attempts to transform the XML export into HTML failed, and I think this is because the XML export from LyX is not compatible. If LyX isn't DocBook/XML-ready, that's fine--I'll continue using it for my one-off docs that I write for our customers. But if it can be fairly easily used to produce DocBook/XML, I'll press a bit harder for its adoption through the rest of the office. Thanks again for your thoughts, Ethan ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Alignment of Numbers
Dear all, This might seem an easy question, but I am new to Lyx and LaTeX in general. I have a table and want the numbers to be aligned at the full-stop. Having a minus sign in front of the number distorts the alignment. eg: 0.043 -0.274 1.429 Any suggestions? Many thanks George
Way behind on upgrading (Alt Installer), need some clarification
I stuck with LyX version 1.5.5 for a while now because of a big project I had going (call it superstition). I'm ready to upgrade, but I think I'll stick with 1.5.7 for a bit longer (ditto). I'm on Win XP and have a working install of MikTeX 2.7 (just updated). I have used Uwe's AltInstaller for all installations and updates until this point. I am looking to get an upgrade of ImageMagick, Ghostscript, Aspell, and GSView, but would prefer to leave MikTeX alone. I just read through the AltInstaller documentation and Wiki stuff again, but wanted to be sure -- If I run the Update Installer variant to 1.5.6 and then run the Complete Installer variant for 1.5.7, will that do what I want?

Thanks! -mi If you don't mind continuous page numbering for the two volumes, I'd suggest creating it as one document (with child documents as convenient -- I usually use one for each chapter) using a document class which uses Parts (such as the various book classes), and put each volume into a Part. Then generate a PDF file for the whole book and use PDFTK to split it into the two volumes. You could use this tool to add a copy of the TOC to the second volume if desired. If you want separate page numbering for each volume, it's a bit more complicated. You would need to reset the page number at the beginning of Part 2, but I think this would give problems with cross references, the table of contents and the index. -- Les ~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

This is covered in part in section 2.12.2 of the Embedded Objects help
file. Assuming you just have numbers and nothing else in that column,
the easiest approach IMHO is to use the dcolumn package. Add
\usepackage{dcolumn}
to the preamble (and make sure you have the dcolumn LaTeX package
installed). In the table, right-click anywhere in the column of
numbers, click Settings, and put D{.}{.}{3} in the LaTeX argument entry
of the Table Settings tab. (This is in LyX 1.6.0; it works in earlier
versions, but right clicking in the column takes you directly to the
Table Settings tab.)

The good old LaTeX way is to use two column separated by a literal dot:

middle button pasting
Hello.
I'm using lyx 1.6.0 under Debian Sid.
I've some problem with pasting with the mouse (I mean, the middle click to paste
the selection).
Within ERT, there seems to be something strange with the lang wich leads to
some extra brace in the tex file and to some errors or unexpected result.
Here's an example :
The first line is the original one,
the second, a pasted one, without modification, and the third one, pasted with
mouse and with modifications. The extra braces came from nowhere !
\psline[linewidth=0.8pt,linecolor=gray,linestyle=dotted]{-}(6.0625,6.0625)(6.0625,8.59375)

\psline[linewidth=0.8pt,linecolor=gray,linestyle=d{ash}ed]{-}({7}.0625,{7}.0625)({8}.0625,{9}.59375)
There's not such problem with the normal copy-paste.

Article rendering problem
I've recently upgraded to LyX 1.6 and using Windows XP. I use the document class article (Hebrew). I use the proof environment, but in the new version, after I render to pdf, the proof doesn't start at a new line. i.e in LyX I see: bla bla bla proof: bla bla 2 and after I render I see: bla bla bla proof bla bla 2 This happens with documents I edited with the previous version of LyX and they render fine with 1.5. What can I do? Another question - I use LyX mostly for summarizing lecture notes and I would like to have 2 option: 1) to create a list of theorems/claims 2) to create an exercise/solution and an example environments.
