Insert a frontpage

[Luca Carlon]

Hi! I'm writing my thesis in LyX using the document class 'book'. This is very
good and I'd like not to change it. I need to insert a frontpage with some
informations, but I see this document class doesn't allow an abstract and some
other things, like the address. Thus I would need to insert a single page with a
different document class, like an AMS article. Is this possible? I tried to
include a LyX file written with this document class to have the frontpage, but I
get an error stating the included document has a different document class. Is
there any other way?
Thanks!

Re: Maintaining a translation of a LyX document

Hello all,

I’m wondering if someone encountered this situation before:

I’ve written a LyX document in language A, and now I want to have the 
same contents/images/layout/etc. in language B.


When something changes In the master document in language A, I would 
like to have minimal work to keep the translation to language B up-to-date.



I use document branches for this. A branch is an inset that can contain
anything (text, headings, lists, and so on) and it can be turned
on and off at will. A branch that is on will be output when you print, 
a branch that is off will not.



I have some documents with both Norwegian and English text. Norwegian 
paragraphs/headings then goes in a norwegian branch, English text in an 
english branch. Common stuff, such as figures, is not in any branch so 
they will always print.


To print for a particular language, I enable the corresponding language 
branch and disable the other.


You find branches under Document-Settings

pdf ( i.e. I make changes and then run pdflatex ,and changes are quite
frequent) the image starts getting kind of blurred and dirty.
What might be happening ?


Bitmaps formats are not the best, but ought to be ok for a presentation.
A bitmap that gets stretched may look bad. I find it very strange if 
your images gets worse as you edit your document - except if your 
editing consist of changing image sizes.


 But is there a
 particular image format that latex would understand 'better' than
 others ?

There are several vector formats, such as pdf and eps. These work 
better, _if_ you make images that really are vector graphichs. Merely

converting your jpegs to eps won't help, LyX do that automatically already.

Turn on the math toolbars. You can then pick symbols from toolbar menus. 
 Learn the codes for those you use most often, that way you can type 
them faster than picking from menus. For example, \geq (or \geqslant ) 
to get

greater-or-equal signs.

Quoting section 5 of the varioref manual:



5  A few warnings

Defining commands like the ones described above poses some interesting 
problems. Suppose, for example, that a generated text like ‘on the next page’ 
gets broken across pages. If this happens it is very difficult to find an 
acceptable solution and in fact can even result in a document that will always 
change from one state to another (i.e., inserting one string, finding that 
this is wrong, inserting another string on the next run which makes the first 
string correct again, inserting . . . ). The current implementation of 
varioref therefore issues an error message whenever the generated text is 
broken across page boundaries, e.g.,
  table 5 on the current page break page
would would result in an error, which needs to be resolved by the user by 
replacing the \vref command with an ordinary \ref just before the final run. 
This is not completely satisfactory but in such case no solution really is. 
During document preparation, while one is still changing the text, such error 
messages can be turned into warnings by placing a \vrefwarning command in the 
preamble. This is equivalent to specifying draft as an option to the 
package. \vrefshowerrors ensures that varioref stops when detecting a possible 
loop. This is the default and equivalent to specifying final as an option.
At the end final a warning: every use of \vref will internally generate 
two macro names to keep track of the string positions within the document. As 
a result you may run out of name space or main memory if you make heavy use of
this macro on a small TEX installation. For this reason the primitive command
\fullref is also provided. This command can be used whenever you know for
sure that label and reference can’t fall onto nearby pages.

See the attached. The (#) indicates that the formula will be numbered. 
You get this by right-clicking on the formula and choosing Number whole

No, build the table as usual in LyX, then put \pause in ERT in the last 
cell of the X and Y rows (example attached).  Might be a good idea to 
put \pause{} just to make sure nothing runs into the pause command.

Yes, you have to take care of the equation line breaks by your own.

Another option would be to use a PDF program that shrinks the A4 page to A5 but then you might have 
problems with the readability.

I can recommend to use the class book (koma-script) instead of book. With this class you have 
everything you need: abstract, titlepage, dedication, etc.

Cannot export to pdf in Mac OSX Snow Leopard

[Luca De Marini]

Hallo people, I'm having an hard time using Lyx in Snow Leopard...
I'm usin Lyx 1.6.3 right now because I cannot in any mode connect to the Lyx
page and all relative pages (wiki, download, etc...), I don't know if the
problem depends on that but I don't think so. I think there's some problem
with Tex itself..
When I open Lyx and one of my documents and then click on the icon with pdf
symbol, hoping for preview to open for me the pdf document, nothing happens.
Same if I try to export the pdf or a vdi, anything, I cannot preview my
documents (not even odt works).
I googled a lot, downloaded TexShop 2.26 (I didn't have it before and all
worked nevertheless) and nothing changed. Now I'm downloading MacTex again
(very big file) but I don't think anything will be solved, there's something
I'm missing. I even found this page:
http://www.tug.org/mactex/faq/#qm10
and followed all indications. Something changed indeed. Now in Lyx I can see
the LatexSource and I couldn't see it before (I never even knew it existed).
So, any guess on what could my problem be please?

greetings everyone,

Re: problem with lyx equations on mac

Eric,

I follow your exact steps and everything looks fine on my screen. I  
have also LyX 1.6.4.1, but my operating system is Snow Leopard  
(10.6.1). I could suspect this is related to MacOS 10.4 unless you  
have some special math fonts installed (I have only the standard  
MacTeX).
I would suggest to forward this mail to the user group to see if there  
are any 10.4 users that can confirm the behavior.

everything is fine. Now I click the cursor outside the display box.  
What normally happens at this point (on other versions of LyX and on  
this version of LyX with other Font choices) is that the equation is  
typeset and the little blue box disappears. What happens with the  
Bold font is quite different. The typeset bold letter a appears  
near the top of a large solid white box (the normal background,  
which appears around the box, is beige). The width of the white box  
is 8.25 inches. No matter how big I make the window, I have to  
scroll down to find the bottom of the white box, so I don't know how  
long it is. I can type normally above and below the white box. If I  
click the cursor anywhere in the white box, it goes back to the  
little blue outline display box. If I click the cursor outside the  
display box, then the big white box appears again. If I use the view  
menu and look at the PDF it looks normal, nothing unusual. I could  
work around these big white boxes, but I use the Bold font a lot in  
equations for vectors and matrices so this would be very annoying. I  
have tried reinstalling LyX and restarting the computer to no avail.  
Any assistance you could provide would be appreciated.

Strange change..........

[M-L]

Hello everyone,

Hope this isn't wasting anyone's time.

This could be useful in the future if I knew how it was done?

I use a template for my journal and have used the same one for years
with few changes, however..

Today the Section used Typewriter font instead of Sans Serif font
which is the usual font locked into the template, and I can't for the
life of me see what I changed? I changed nothing in the preamble other
than inserting the date as ever and closed out of document settings. So
can only assume it was a key binding? I don't have any special
key binding file.

When I bring up the template anew, the Section comes up as it should
Sans Serif font.

It's not important, but just interesting how it was done, and as
mentioned, it might be useful in the future.

Any ideas?

TIA
Charlie

Creating the \independent binary relation within LyX (for independent random variables)

[Adam Gustafson]

Hi Everyone,

Could someone please let me know how to create the following symbol within
LyX, I presume within a Math macro?  The LaTeX code that one puts in the
preamble is:

\newcommand\independent{\protect\mathpalette{\protect\independenT}{\perp}}
\def\independenT#1#2{\mathrel{\rlap{$#1#2$}\mkern2mu{#1#2}}}

This creates the binary independence relation symbol found in problem 1 of
this document, for example:

http://ssli.ee.washington.edu/~bilmes/ee512fa09/hw1.pdf

Essentially, I need to fix one \perp, copy it and move it over a couple
units the right to create this symbol.

Any help on how to do this is much appreciated...

Thanks,

B
...

A
   subentry
 subsubentry

How can I get the index with an alphabetical separator as I mention above?

Hello all,

like to have minimal work to keep the translation to language B up-to-date.



I use document branches for this. A branch is an inset that can contain
anything (text, headings, lists, and so on) and it can be turned
on and off at will. A branch that is on will be output when you print, 
a branch that is off will not.



I have some documents with both Norwegian and English text. Norwegian 
paragraphs/headings then goes in a norwegian branch, English text in an 
english branch. Common stuff, such as figures, is not in any branch so 
they will always print.


To print for a particular language, I enable the corresponding language 
branch and disable the other.


You find branches under Document-Settings

Hi all,

pdf ( i.e. I make changes and then run pdflatex ,and changes are quite
frequent) the image starts getting kind of blurred and dirty.
What might be happening ?


Bitmaps formats are not the best, but ought to be ok for a presentation.
A bitmap that gets stretched may look bad. I find it very strange if 
your images gets worse as you edit your document - except if your 
editing consist of changing image sizes.


 But is there a
 particular image format that latex would understand 'better' than
 others ?

There are several vector formats, such as pdf and eps. These work 
better, _if_ you make images that really are vector graphichs. Merely

converting your jpegs to eps won't help, LyX do that automatically already.

Turn on the math toolbars. You can then pick symbols from toolbar menus. 
 Learn the codes for those you use most often, that way you can type 
them faster than picking from menus. For example, \geq (or \geqslant ) 
to get

greater-or-equal signs.

Quoting section 5 of the varioref manual:



5  A few warnings

Defining commands like the ones described above poses some interesting 
problems. Suppose, for example, that a generated text like ‘on the next page’ 
gets broken across pages. If this happens it is very difficult to find an 
acceptable solution and in fact can even result in a document that will always 
change from one state to another (i.e., inserting one string, finding that 
this is wrong, inserting another string on the next run which makes the first 
string correct again, inserting . . . ). The current implementation of 
varioref therefore issues an error message whenever the generated text is 
broken across page boundaries, e.g.,
  table 5 on the current page break page
would would result in an error, which needs to be resolved by the user by 
replacing the \vref command with an ordinary \ref just before the final run. 
This is not completely satisfactory but in such case no solution really is. 
During document preparation, while one is still changing the text, such error 
messages can be turned into warnings by placing a \vrefwarning command in the 
preamble. This is equivalent to specifying draft as an option to the 
package. \vrefshowerrors ensures that varioref stops when detecting a possible 
loop. This is the default and equivalent to specifying final as an option.
At the end final a warning: every use of \vref will internally generate 
two macro names to keep track of the string positions within the document. As 
a result you may run out of name space or main memory if you make heavy use of
this macro on a small TEX installation. For this reason the primitive command
\fullref is also provided. This command can be used whenever you know for
sure that label and reference can’t fall onto nearby pages.

See the attached. The (#) indicates that the formula will be numbered. 
You get this by right-clicking on the formula and choosing Number whole

No, build the table as usual in LyX, then put \pause in ERT in the last 
cell of the X and Y rows (example attached).  Might be a good idea to 
put \pause{} just to make sure nothing runs into the pause command.

Yes, you have to take care of the equation line breaks by your own.

Another option would be to use a PDF program that shrinks the A4 page to A5 but then you might have 
problems with the readability.

I can recommend to use the class book (koma-script) instead of book. With this class you have

Cannot export to pdf in Mac OSX Snow Leopard

[Luca De Marini]

Hallo people, I'm having an hard time using Lyx in Snow Leopard...
I'm usin Lyx 1.6.3 right now because I cannot in any mode connect to the Lyx
page and all relative pages (wiki, download, etc...), I don't know if the
problem depends on that but I don't think so. I think there's some problem
with Tex itself..
When I open Lyx and one of my documents and then click on the icon with pdf
symbol, hoping for preview to open for me the pdf document, nothing happens.
Same if I try to export the pdf or a vdi, anything, I cannot preview my
documents (not even odt works).
I googled a lot, downloaded TexShop 2.26 (I didn't have it before and all
worked nevertheless) and nothing changed. Now I'm downloading MacTex again
(very big file) but I don't think anything will be solved, there's something
I'm missing. I even found this page:
http://www.tug.org/mactex/faq/#qm10
and followed all indications. Something changed indeed. Now in Lyx I can see
the LatexSource and I couldn't see it before (I never even knew it existed).
So, any guess on what could my problem be please?

greetings everyone,

Re: problem with lyx equations on mac

Eric,

I follow your exact steps and everything looks fine on my screen. I  
have also LyX 1.6.4.1, but my operating system is Snow Leopard  
(10.6.1). I could suspect this is related to MacOS 10.4 unless you  
have some special math fonts installed (I have only the standard  
MacTeX).
I would suggest to forward this mail to the user group to see if there  
are any 10.4 users that can confirm the behavior.

What normally happens at this point (on other versions of LyX and on

typeset and the little blue box disappears. What happens with the  
Bold font is quite different. The typeset bold letter a appears  
near the top of a large solid white box (the normal background,  
which appears around the box, is beige). The width of the white box  
is 8.25 inches. No matter how big I make the window, I have to  
scroll down to find the bottom of the white box, so I don't know how  
long it is. I can type normally above and below the white box. If I  
click the cursor anywhere in the white box, it goes back to the  
little blue outline display box. If I click the cursor outside the  
display box, then the big white box appears again. If I use the view  
menu and look at the PDF it looks normal, nothing unusual. I could  
work around these big white boxes, but I use the Bold font a lot in  
equations for vectors and matrices so this would be very annoying. I  
have tried reinstalling LyX and restarting the computer to no avail.  
Any assistance you could provide would be appreciated.

Strange change..........

[M-L]

Hello everyone,

Hope this isn't wasting anyone's time.

This could be useful in the future if I knew how it was done?

I use a template for my journal and have used the same one for years
with few changes, however..

Today the Section used Typewriter font instead of Sans Serif font
which is the usual font locked into the template, and I can't for the
life of me see what I changed? I changed nothing in the preamble other
than inserting the date as ever and closed out of document settings. So
can only assume it was a key binding? I don't have any special
key binding file.

When I bring up the template anew, the Section comes up as it should
Sans Serif font.

It's not important, but just interesting how it was done, and as
mentioned, it might be useful in the future.

Any ideas?

TIA
Charlie

Creating the \independent binary relation within LyX (for independent random variables)

[Adam Gustafson]

Hi Everyone,

Could someone please let me know how to create the following symbol within
LyX, I presume within a Math macro?  The LaTeX code that one puts in the
preamble is:

\newcommand\independent{\protect\mathpalette{\protect\independenT}{\perp}}
\def\independenT#1#2{\mathrel{\rlap{$#1#2$}\mkern2mu{#1#2}}}

This creates the binary independence relation symbol found in problem 1 of
this document, for example:

http://ssli.ee.washington.edu/~bilmes/ee512fa09/hw1.pdf

Essentially, I need to fix one \perp, copy it and move it over a couple
units the right to create this symbol.

Any help on how to do this is much appreciated...

Thanks,

english branch. Common stuff, such as figures, is not in any branch so 
they will always print.


To print for a particular language, I enable the corresponding language 
branch and disable the other.

Hi all,

pdf ( i.e. I make changes and then run pdflatex ,and changes are quite
frequent) the image starts getting kind of blurred and dirty.
What might be happening ?


Bitmaps formats are not the best, but ought to be ok for a presentation.
A bitmap that gets stretched may look bad. I find it very strange if 
your images gets worse as you edit your document - except if your 
editing consist of changing image sizes.

There are several vector formats, such as pdf and eps. These work 
better, _if_ you make images that really are vector graphichs. Merely

converting your jpegs to eps won't help, LyX do that automatically already.

Turn on the math toolbars. You can then pick symbols from toolbar menus. 
 Learn the codes for those you use most often, that way you can type 
them faster than picking from menus. For example, \geq (or \geqslant ) 
to get

greater-or-equal signs.

Hello,
from one day to the next run latex make an error in a vpageref.
Message say that I must replace this reference (in page ) by  for

Quoting section 5 of the varioref manual:



5  A few warnings

Defining commands like the ones described above poses some interesting 
problems. Suppose, for example, that a generated text like ‘on the next page’ 
gets broken across pages. If this happens it is very difficult to find an 
acceptable solution and in fact can even result in a document that will always 
change from one state to another (i.e., inserting one string, finding that 
this is wrong, inserting another string on the next run which makes the first 
string correct again, inserting . . . ). The current implementation of 
varioref therefore issues an error message whenever the generated text is 
broken across page boundaries, e.g.,
  table 5 on the current  page
would would result in an error, which needs to be resolved by the user by 
replacing the \vref command with an ordinary \ref just before the final run. 
This is not completely satisfactory but in such case no solution really is. 
During document preparation, while one is still changing the text, such error 
messages can be turned into warnings by placing a \vrefwarning command in the 
preamble. This is equivalent to specifying "draft" as an option to the 
package. \vrefshowerrors ensures that varioref stops when detecting a possible 
loop. This is the default and equivalent to specifying "final" as an option.
At the end final a warning: every use of \vref will internally generate 
two macro names to keep track of the string positions within the document. As 
a result you may run out of name space or main memory if you make heavy use of
this macro on a small TEX installation. For this reason the primitive command
\fullref is also provided. This command can be used whenever you know for
sure that label and reference can’t fall onto nearby pages.

Uncovering table row-wise in beamer

[kc853]

I'd like to uncover a table row by row in a beamer presentation (as described

X & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \pause\\
Y & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \pause\\

See the attached. The (#) indicates that the formula will be numbered. 
You get this by right-clicking on the formula and choosing "Number whole

Same problem here. Just tested with LyX 1.6.3. If you enable Rosetta everything

Creation of A5 documents

No, build the table as usual in LyX, then put \pause in ERT in the last 
cell of the X and Y rows (example attached).  Might be a good idea to 
put \pause{} just to make sure nothing runs into the pause command.

Yes, you have to take care of the equation line breaks by your own.

Another option would be to use a PDF program that shrinks the A4 page to A5 but then you might have 
problems with the readability.

Cannot export to pdf in Mac OSX Snow Leopard

[Luca De Marini]

Hallo people, I'm having an hard time using Lyx in Snow Leopard...
I'm usin Lyx 1.6.3 right now because I cannot in any mode connect to the Lyx
page and all relative pages (wiki, download, etc...), I don't know if the
problem depends on that but I don't think so. I think there's some problem
with Tex itself..
When I open Lyx and one of my documents and then click on the icon with pdf
symbol, hoping for preview to open for me the pdf document, nothing happens.
Same if I try to export the pdf or a vdi, anything, I cannot preview my
documents (not even odt works).
I googled a lot, downloaded TexShop 2.26 (I didn't have it before and all
worked nevertheless) and nothing changed. Now I'm downloading MacTex again
(very big file) but I don't think anything will be solved, there's something
I'm missing. I even found this page:
http://www.tug.org/mactex/faq/#qm10
and followed all indications. Something changed indeed. Now in Lyx I can see
the LatexSource and I couldn't see it before (I never even knew it existed).
So, any guess on what could my problem be please?

greetings everyone,

Re: problem with lyx equations on mac

Eric,

I follow your exact steps and everything looks fine on my screen. I  
have also LyX 1.6.4.1, but my operating system is Snow Leopard  
(10.6.1). I could suspect this is related to MacOS 10.4 unless you  
have some special math fonts installed (I have only the standard  
MacTeX).
I would suggest to forward this mail to the user group to see if there  
are any 10.4 users that can confirm the behavior.

everything is fine. Now I click the cursor outside the display box.  
What normally happens at this point (on other versions of LyX and on  
this version of LyX with other Font choices) is that the equation is  
typeset and the little blue box disappears. What happens with the  
Bold font is quite different. The typeset bold letter "a" appears  
near the top of a large solid white box (the normal background,  
which appears around the box, is beige). The width of the white box  
is 8.25 inches. No matter how big I make the window, I have to  
scroll down to find the bottom of the white box, so I don't know how  
long it is. I can type normally above and below the white box. If I  
click the cursor anywhere in the white box, it goes back to the  
little blue outline display box. If I click the cursor outside the  
display box, then the big white box appears again. If I use the view  
menu and look at the PDF it looks normal, nothing unusual. I could  
work around these big white boxes, but I use the Bold font a lot in  
equations for vectors and matrices so this would be very annoying. I  
have tried reinstalling LyX and restarting the computer to no avail.  
Any assistance you could provide would be appreciated.

Strange change..........

[M-L]

Hello everyone,

Hope this isn't wasting anyone's time.

This could be useful in the future if I knew how it was done?

I use a template for my journal and have used the same one for years
with few changes, however..

Today the "Section" used Typewriter font instead of Sans Serif font
which is the usual font locked into the template, and I can't for the
life of me see what I changed? I changed nothing in the preamble other
than inserting the date as ever and closed out of document settings. So
can only assume it was a key binding? I don't have any special
key binding file.

When I bring up the template anew, the "Section" comes up as it should
Sans Serif font.

It's not important, but just interesting how it was done, and as
mentioned, it might be useful in the future.

Any ideas?

TIA
Charlie

Creating the "\independent" binary relation within LyX (for independent random variables)

[Adam Gustafson]

Hi Everyone,

Could someone please let me know how to create the following symbol within
LyX, I presume within a Math macro?  The LaTeX code that one puts in the
preamble is:

\newcommand\independent{\protect\mathpalette{\protect\independenT}{\perp}}
\def\independenT#1#2{\mathrel{\rlap{$#1#2$}\mkern2mu{#1#2}}}

This creates the binary independence relation symbol found in problem 1 of
this document, for example:

http://ssli.ee.washington.edu/~bilmes/ee512fa09/hw1.pdf

Essentially, I need to fix one "\perp", copy it and move it over a couple
units the right to create this symbol.

Any help on how to do this is much appreciated...

Thanks,
Adam

I use LyX under MacOSX Snow Leopard and I have no problem at all. I suspect this
is related to lack of some software needed. Try to see if you have ps2pdf and
anything else LyX depends on. Mactex should solve the problem I suppose.

Question on custumising index

Dear All

I am (representing my friends as well) actually searching a way to
custumise index, in book(Koma-script), so the it looks like
A
alpha
   info
alpha2
   info1
   info 2
B
...
...

If I use index entry (in LyX) {A ! subentry ! subsubentry} the result
is close but subentry will be indented
A
   subentry
 subsubentry

How can I get the index with an alphabetical separator as I mention above?

Thanks you for any help or information

I've just installed MacTex again, restarted Lyx, nothing changed. When I try
