invisible dialog box text - OSX 10.6.2 Lyx 1.6.5

2009-12-22 Thread Mark Dransfield
Hi,

I am a new Lyx user but like it very much. I just upgraded to 1.6.5 but now the
text in the paragraph environment pull-down box disappears when I pull it down
and all the dialog boxes have no visible text except the OK button. Since no-one
else has reported this, I suspect an instal problem may be the cause. Any hints
very welcome.

thanks
Mark

Figured it out..
I'm sorry to have bothered you. I guess reading the manual is the first
thing I should have done.


Math macros don't show up in pdf output

2009-12-22 Thread Dan Kilman
Hi there,

I am using LyX 1.6.5 on Windows XP installed via the alternative installer.

When I define math macros, they seem to be working just fine while editing
the document (that is, I can use them).
However, when I try to view the document as a PDF or DVI, every part of the
document not using math macros shows up in the output (as it should),
while the math macros seems to be simply ignored, with no error message of
any sort.

Any advice on this matter?

Thanks in advance, Dan.

I'm sorry, I know next to nothing about Windows. The Python script I'm 
attaching does what you need, maybe it helps?


Maybe someone else can provide more relevant help.

Cheers,

Thanks. I have use the commands for a singel lyx-document and it 
funktioned. But i do not know how i can "install" this script (I am 
using lyx at this time on windows 7 because i can not install my old 
opensuse on my new computer whith raid)?

import sys, os

def Lyxtotxt(n):#Exports .lyx files to .txt
argument = "lyx -e ps " + n
os.system(argument)
argument = "ps2ascii " + n[:-4] + ".ps " + n[:-4]  + ".txt"  #n[:-4] is the name of the file without extension
os.system(argument)

if __name__ == "__main__":
files = [f for f in os.listdir(os.getcwd()) if os.path.isfile(f)]   #puts every filename in the current directory in a list
for f in files:
if  (f[-3:]=="lyx"):
   inputfile = f.replace(' ', '\ ') #For a good parsing of spaces in file name
   Lyxtotxt(inputfile)

I guess one way to do this is with a simple script that goes file by

lyx yourfile.lyx -e ps

Yeah, infact, which is the problem you encounter? Usually opening multiple
files will open multiple windows.

Re: Appendix - include/insert

2009-12-22 Thread Anders Ekberg
Hej Sølvi,

I think I see what you mean:
Insert> File > LyX document
removes the inserted appendix.
But if you inset something (e.g. a non-breakable space) before inserting the 
file it seems to work. Also note that you can't have e.g. chapter styes in the 
appendix).

I hope this was of some help.

Appendix - include/insert






Hi

I have four appendices which I have created on individual .lyx files. My 
thesis is built around a master document in which I use the Include
function for each separate file (and Insert function within the Included 
files.)

I have started the Appendix in the master document using the command: 
Document - Start appendix here. I have tried every command I can think, in 
order to be able to include the appendices instead of writing them 
directly into the masterdoc. So far nothing have worked.

Can someone please thell me how I should configure the child document and 
the master doc in order to put it all togheter.

I need the explanation for dummies please :)
