Thanks Ignacio,

I looked there, but there was only one file format in evidence being:
BibTex and no other. So I created one for PDF, and used XPDF as the
viewer. It still loaded KPDF.

But it's solved anyway. A reboot of the system and the KDE stuff loaded
as normal. I'm just not accustomed to doing the windows reboot stuff to
get things working in Linux.

Thanks for taking the time to suggest a fix, it's appreciated

Be well,
Charlie

Document Include mechanism

[James Mansion]

I may be doing the wrong thing - but I stared trying to write a book 
with each Part in a separate document so I can edit (and version 
control) them in more manageable chunks.


This seems to be working though I find the inability to nest inclusions 
a bit disturbing.


What is more worrying is that I don't seem to be able to set the 
document class and LaTeX preamble on the master and have it inherited to 
new components --- I have to set the class of each one.


I'm a bit concerned that if I change the document class (its currently 
Koma book, but I might want to change this) it will be quite messy and 
some inconsistencies might sneak in.


I guess I could give in and just have one big document but as a 
developer that just feels all wrong somehow.


The help files (at least on 1.6.2) don't seem to deal with sturcturing 
large projects at all - are there other hints and tips I can use?

Re: Label and againframe [Beamer]

I'm afraid what you wrote does not make sense.  You start your

the first slide of content started with a BeginFrame environment (the 
equivalent of the \begin{frame}[label=firstframe] LaTeX command you

Or are you saying you want to repeat the title slide at the end??

What do you mean by this? You can have children of children of children.

No I can't.  When I got Ctrl-D I get a dialog that says:

LaTeX Error: \include cannot be nested.

and the Description is:

\include{0C__src_books_arch_test}

Your command was ignored.

Type I command return to replace it with another command,

or return to continue without it.





What is more worrying is that I don't seem to be able to set the 
document class and LaTeX preamble on the master and have it inherited 
to new components --- I have to set the class of each one.


To some extent, this is a known issue, and there is a sense in which 
it can't be solved. If you treat the file as a file unto itself, then 
it needs its own document class, preamble, etc. And sometimes a file 
can be both a child of another document and a file unto itself. And 
for the same reason you do always have to set the document class.
I think that's a weak answer.  I don't *need* the children to be valid 
as self-contained documents, What I would like is to be able to set a 
docu class (optionally) but to have it ignored and defer to the parent 
in the case where its a child.



The only annoyance here is that you will get an error message when you 
compile, saying that the document classes are different. Then you can 
fix it.

Not if the problem is that I didn't copy across a preamble element.

Program listings with beamer probelm

[Micha Feigin]

Hello,

I'm trying ot include a program listing in a beamer presentation. Using just
the simple insert-program listing fails to compile with an error
Paragraph ended before \...@next was complete.
If I set the listing to inline, compilation works but the listing is completely
messed up (lines are in the wrong order, some line breaks are missing ...).
Inserting a listing from file (insert-file-child document-program listing)
works, but is very annoying for short ones

Any way to solve this?

thanks

Seems from a thread I found that I need to somehow add fragile to the frame but I can't 
figure out how to do it without ert. Seems like the \lyxframe macro is rather messed up. I 
tried using insert short title which adds an opt entry but that gives an error that the

import bib refs to show in pdf?

Dear All,

I installed the latest Lyx version 1.6.3 on my Mac 10.4.11

Everything behaves normal, in particular, I can export pdfs and easily 
import a *.bib into my Bibliography section and LyX recognizes all the 
references in it.


However, trying to export this document with references into pdf, the 
references do not appear and all my citation show question tags.


Any help is much appreciated,

Use Input rather than Include. That should probably be the default.

I understand what you want. What I was explaining is why LyX can't just 
work the way you want. We have had lengthy discussions about this both 
on this list and on the devel list, and there are a lot of people who 
need the facility I described. So we provide that, and people who don't 
need that facility---like you and me--- have to make do.


That said, there probably is a bug here, especially now that we have 
this default master setting. A child should probably inherit the 
document class of its master, and its modules and such, too. I'm not 
sure how well we do with that.

Hi rh, Hi All,

Thanks for the reply; attached, please find my test files, that do not 
work now on my ubuntu machine with LyX 1.6.0.


I found the command bibtex in test.lyx, so I manually ran bibtex on 
test.bib, with the error message that test.bib.aux is not found. I am 
not even close to the actual problem, am I? ;-)

Program listings with beamer probelm

[Micha Feigin]

Hello,

I'm trying ot include a program listing in a beamer presentation. Using just
the simple insert-program listing fails to compile with an error
Paragraph ended before \...@next was complete.
If I set the listing to inline, compilation works but the listing is completely

Inserting a listing from file (insert-file-child document-program listing)

Use Input rather than Include. That should probably be the default.

I understand what you want. What I was explaining is why LyX can't just 
work the way you want. We have had lengthy discussions about this both 
on this list and on the devel list, and there are a lot of people who 
need the facility I described. So we provide that, and people who don't 
need that facility---like you and me--- have to make do.


That said, there probably is a bug here, especially now that we have 
this default master setting. A child should probably inherit the 
document class of its master, and its modules and such, too. I'm not 
sure how well we do with that.

and then, in Format there is a list where you can choose the wanted file format.
There are several PDF (...) entries. Below the list you can change the Viewer.
If you "Apply" the change is temporary, e.g. for testing,

Thanks Ignacio,

I looked there, but there was only one file format in evidence being:
BibTex and no other. So I created one for PDF, and used XPDF as the
viewer. It still loaded KPDF.

But it's solved anyway. A reboot of the system and the KDE stuff loaded
as normal. I'm just not accustomed to doing the windows reboot stuff to
get things working in Linux.

Thanks for taking the time to suggest a fix, it's appreciated

Be well,
Charlie

The Format list is a pull-down (long) one, clic you the button to see it.
You can get more info in the section C.7.2 of the User Guide manual and

There is no need reboot the system. For some configuration changes LyX

Document Include mechanism

[James Mansion]

I may be doing the wrong thing - but I stared trying to write a book 
with each Part in a separate document so I can edit (and version 
control) them in more manageable chunks.


This seems to be working though I find the inability to nest inclusions 
a bit disturbing.


What is more worrying is that I don't seem to be able to set the 
document class and LaTeX preamble on the master and have it inherited to 
new components --- I have to set the class of each one.


I'm a bit concerned that if I change the document class (its currently 
Koma book, but I might want to change this) it will be quite messy and 
some inconsistencies might sneak in.


I guess I could give in and just have one big document but as a 
developer that just feels all wrong somehow.


The help files (at least on 1.6.2) don't seem to deal with sturcturing 
large projects at all - are there other hints and tips I can use?

LaTeX Error: \include cannot be nested.

and the Description is:

\include{0C__src_books_arch_test}

Your command was ignored.

Type I   to replace it with another command,

or  to continue without it.


Use Input rather than Include. That should probably be the default.

What is more worrying is that I don't seem to be able to set the 
document class and LaTeX preamble on the master and have it 
inherited to new components --- I have to set the class of each one.


To some extent, this is a known issue, and there is a sense in which 
it can't be solved. If you treat the file as a file unto itself, then 
it needs its own document class, preamble, etc. And sometimes a file 
can be both a child of another document and a file unto itself. And 
for the same reason you do always have to set the document class.


I think that's a weak answer.  I don't *need* the children to be valid 
as self-contained documents. What I would like is to be able to set a 
docu class (optionally) but to have it ignored and defer to the parent 
in the case where its a child.


I understand what you want. What I was explaining is why LyX can't just 
work the way you want. We have had lengthy discussions about this both 
on this list and on the devel list, and there are a lot of people who 
need the facility I described. So we provide that, and people who don't 
need that facility---like you and me--- have to make do.


That said, there probably is a bug here, especially now that we have 
this "default master" setting. A child should probably inherit the 
document class of its master, and its modules and such, too. I'm not 
sure how well we do with that.

Re: import bib refs to show in pdf?

[Sebastian Stolzenberg]

Hi rh, Hi All,

Thanks for the reply; attached, please find my test files, that do not 
work now on my ubuntu machine with LyX 1.6.0.


I found the command "bibtex" in test.lyx, so I manually ran bibtex on 
test.bib, with the error message that "test.bib.aux" is not found. I am 
not even close to the actual problem, am I? ;-)


Thank you
Sebastian

Dear All,

I installed the latest Lyx version 1.6.3 on my Mac 10.4.11

Everything behaves normal, in particular, I can export pdfs and easily 
import a *.bib into my Bibliography section and LyX recognizes all the 
references in it.


However, trying to export this document with references into pdf, the 
references do not appear and all my citation show question tags.


Any help is much appreciated,
Sebastian
