linebreak.sty - further to my latest.......

2010-01-26 Thread M-L

If I remove \usepackage{linebreak} from the preamble and just use the
ERT [\linebreak]then I don't get the question about linbreak.sty, but
just an error message we've all seen so often:

Undefined control sequence - and this stuff:

 Case No & Common Name & Species\linebreakCode
   & Date In & Sex &
 Age & I... The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Which means what..? Maybe it means it's not fixable?

Thanks,
Charlie

linebreak.sty

2010-01-26 Thread M-L

Hello,

I haven't done anything with tables in LyX, always used OpenOffice, but
thought I would give LyX a larrup to create a table and see how I went.
No I really don't have the time to be fooling round with it
but.. :-)

LyX Version 1.6.5
Debian Squeeze [testing]

Using Article [KOMA-Script]

The cell in my table is [Species ERT[\linebreak] Code]

Instead of Species Code - I need:

Species
Code

My error message is: Errors:

LaTeX Error: File 'linebreak.sty' not found

Description:

 ^^M

*** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)


So where is linebreak.sty?

Installed are:

i   elyxer  - Standalone LyX to HTML converter 
i   lyx - Document Processor 
i A lyx-common  - Architecture-independent files for LyX 
i A ttf-lyx - TrueType versions of some TeX fonts

What am I missing?

TIA
Charlie

I decided to do aside all regarding the pages of the title in a file.
 This one has in the preamble:
\title{}
\date{}

Of that way I can do what wants. Then, I export this to Latex. In the main file 
I include that file.

Hi Rainer,

I'm pretty sure there's a LaTeX command for the word "Appendix". So for 
instance, in English that command might yield "Appendix", whereas in German it 
might yield "Anhang" (I used a translator, don't laugh too hard). I'm pretty 
sure there's an equivalent LaTeX command for "Chapter". Anyway, perhaps your 
command for Appendix is blank.

Meanwhile, I don't know exactly how you'd put "Appendix A" on the same line as 
the appendix's title, because an appendix is basically a chapter and the Book 
document class puts "Chapter 6" on the line above "Why LyX is the Best". Maybe 
there's some package that will do this for you.

Because you use ERT. While latex (the command) understands EPS but not
PDF, JPEG, or PNG, pdflatex understands the latter but no EPS.

LyX is very helpful here, as it automatically converts the files in
the background.

DVI, PDF end PS behave differently with photographs

2010-01-26 Thread Richard Brown
I'm confused about the different ways to generate final copy.
Specifically, using the following Evil Red Text, after an includepackage
graphicx in the preamble,

\begin{figure}[h] 
\includegraphics {bw_albergo.eps} 

\caption{A picture of a room.} 
\end{figure}

if I generate copy with the DVI button, I get caption and space but no
picture and no error message. If I do the same with the Postscript
button, I get the same. If I do it with PDF, I get nop picturte but an
error message- can't define the size of the picture. So if I change to
\begin{figure}[h] 
\includegraphics {bw_albergo.eps} 

\caption{A picture of a tucan.} 
\end{figure}
and use the pdf button, it works.

Why does it behave differently?

OK - I am back.

I am using article (Springer svjour3/global), but it is the same with th
normal article class.

That is similar to what I want - only that I want it to be in one line.
instead of (see attached example) which results in

1 This happens rst
2 And this next
A Some additional info
B Some more additional info

i would like to have:

1 This happens rst
2 And this next
Appendix A Some additional info
Appendix B Some more additional info

And I can not use a different document class.

Rainer

BadPixmap

2010-01-26 Thread Wolfgang Engelmann
Dear Lyxers

I am getting an error (among others) 
X Error: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)

while the process is slowing down and finally has to be stopped

(ps -a gives me the process number
kill -1 process number)

and lyx has to be started anew (the emergency save)

I wonder what is going wrong. Any clue?

These table lists unicode characters:

* Which characters are visible depends on your system font.
* Not all characters listed here actually work in LyX.

However, the genealogy package is another way to get symbols, although
not supported by the LyX GUI.

You need to read the package documentation and insert them via "ERT"
(raw LaTeX) code.
