Fwd: Problem using old Lyx document

2010-02-26 Thread Murat Yildizoglu

Hi Michael,
Do you use the geometry package in your document? It has a lot changed
during the last years (the last version is not compatible anymore with
version 2, for example). If you use it in the old way (it was enough
to tell the page size to have a large text width), you should give it
explicit page margins to get back your old margins. This is just a
hint in the fishing game ;-)

Regards,

Murat

2010/2/25 Michael Born michael.b...@aei.mpg.de:
 Hello Lyx-experts,

 I have an 80 page lyx document from year 2000 on paper and as a .lyx
 file. Now I want to create a PDF file, and have some trouble :-(
 When I process the document with Lyx 1.6.4 (OpenSUSE 11.1 64bit), it is
 now just 70 pages. Lyx seems to put some text outside my page format (A4).
 I can imagine that there are Latex-packages missing...

 Is there a HOWTO about working with 10 years old .lyx files?
 The latex protocol menu entry of Lyx just shows two label warnings.
 How can I find out if something (and what) is missing?

 Cheers,
 Michael

 PS: the first lines of the .lyx

Re: Lyx 2.0

2010-02-26 Thread Dotan Cohen

 Steve and others,
 For those using Linux, may I strongly recommend GNU Stow for this
 purpose? It puts the compiled version in a safe place (ie, away from
 anthing that your package manager is interested in) and puts symbolic
 links to this safe place. It is a brilliant system for working outside
 the normal package management system.

 http://www.gnu.org/software/stow/

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Stow

 http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/127393

 Install stow with your normal package manager.


Thanks, Alan, that looks like a great idea.

Re: LyX 2: So far so good, except outlines

2010-02-26 Thread Jose Quesada

Hi,

Just a quick note to say that I really like the idea. It'd make LyX a great
tool for jotting ideas (notetaking). I'm already using it in this way. Btw
word 2010 has similar improvements on the outliner sidebar, taken from
oneNote (oneNote is a great piece of software, the only thing I miss since
moving to linux, plenty of good design ideas there).

Thanks,

 Hi all,

 So I svn'ed LyX 2, built it, and ran it. So far so good except outlines. I
 ran
 it against one of my existing books and its associated layout file and
 seealso.inc, and it worked.

 One fascinating thing is for the first time in my history with LyX, I got
 it
 to recognize a layout file first crack out of the box. All I had to do was
 put
 the correctly named .layout in the same directory as the document, and
 bang,
 it worked. I know 1.6.x was *advertised* to work that way, but it didn't.
 Later I'll do some experiments to see if 2.0.x really works that way every
 time, or whether I just got lucky the first time with 2.0.x.  In the past
 I've
 found layout recognition to be a hit or miss intermittent.

 In August I put in a request for a couple improvements to LyX outline mode
 that would stratospherically launch productivity. See it here:

 http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-de...@lists.lyx.org/msg154181.html

 http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6174

 The enhancement described, or even something close, would enable authors to
 construct from scratch outlines within LyX, enhancing the organization and
 value of their documents. It would also limit mistakes as the author flips
 between outline view and document view. I see right now it's owned by
 nobody, and it would be wonderful if it could be addressed. If the
 enhancement as I described it is too difficult to code in time for release,
 I
 can work with the developer to simplify the enhancement while still
 retaining
 its value.

 Anyway, my next step will be to observe and document how all the features
 added since 1.5.x work. 1.6.x had a lot of different inserts. 1.6 has
 layout
 modules, which I haven't explored yet. I hear 2.0 allows you to shut off
 spellcheck in certain styles, which probably means there's LOTS of
 customization that can be done at the style level.

 Anyway, thanks for the great software.

 Since these are raw tex commands, how do I assign values to them in Lyx?

The quick and dirty way:

* Commands that can/must be given in the document preamble (before the

  arguments) under DocumentSettingsLaTeX Preamble. You can simply copy
  and past from the *.tex example file.
  
  E.g.  \usepackage{parskip}
  
* Commands in the document body should be inserted as raw LaTeX (evil

I've traced this to the use of the babel package - it seems to be

AFAIK, babel is loaded by default if you use any Language other than
English (US), be it as document language or for text parts.

 What I find strange is that LyX seems to be introducing the
 \selectlanguage and \foreignlanguage commands in what appears to be a
 random fashion. 

Normally not.

 When I create a new equation-reference, I get something
 like:

   \eqref{\selectlanguage{british}eq:myequation\selectlanguage{english}}

This might be a bug (but see below).

 How does the british language enter my document - the default is
 probably just English on my system. Even my \documentclass command
 (on latex export) shows the british option!

The most comman source of this kind of problems is copy and
paste from a document in another language as the language attribute is
preserved.

Another bug is that, if you select a document part containing an inset
resetting the language is not (always) done inside the inset. Instead,
you have to go into the inset, mark the content and repeat the language
reset command :-( Combine this with the feature that the blue underline
will be not visible for the closed inset, you see the source of much
confusion.

On 2010-02-25, Andrey wrote:

It seems that XeTeX is indeed a feasible way to print some old-orthography
Russian letters. And this is great!

However, a more ambitious task, which is similar to enabling Greek
polytonic, would be to enable the true Church Slavonic in LyX, which
would be amazingly useful.

This would only be feasible, if Church Slavonic is already supported by
babel. In any case, XeTeX is the easier way to go.

Church Slavonic looks quite different to ordinary Russian [...] and is
rich in diacritics, so it requires its own fonts, such as Irmologion or
Triodion (can be seen here - http://www.irmologion.ru/fonts.html).

Using different fonts for Church Slavonic is not necessary (if you do not
intend to reproduce the look and feel of the Synodial publications).
What is needed are fonts supporting the additional characters and
accents.

BTW: Irmologion is regarded a nonprofessional first try by its author,
who recommends to use Hirmos instead:

Если у Вас нет необходимости поддерживать совместимость с Irmologion, я
рекомендую использовать более удачный аналог синодальной гарнитуры --
Hirmos.

I am not sure Church Slavonic characters are included in Unicode.

They are. (Although there is no such thing as a Church Slavonic
character just like there are no English characters, I believe you
mean: characters used/needed for writing Church Slavonic).
The fonts at www.irmologion.ru are Unicode encoded.

What I know, however, is that attempts have been made to create TeX
packages that make it possible to typeset in Church Slavonic - one such
package is HipTeX (http://www.sobor.org/hip/);

another (and supposedly better one, since it is more recent and avoids
certain drawbacks of HipTeX) is CSLTeX
(http://sites.google.com/site/csltex/).

They can be downloaded by clicking the zip files, but, unfortunately,
documentation to both of them is in Russian.

If all you need is the occasional church slavonic example in a scholarly
paper, I'd recommend to use the hipfonts or the cslav package together
with raw latex (ERT).

Can these developments be somehow incorporated in LyX?

In principle, this should be possible. However, it needs someone
familiar with the cyrillic support in TeX and an interested developer.
Feel free to file an enhancement ticket at http://www.lyx.org/trac/ .

Hi all,

I'm sure it won't come to this, but if nobody else does the outline mode

Could someone please tell me the source files encompassing the current outline 
functionality, as well as the source files implementing an input box with 
buttons and a text box? Basically the change involves the addition of a couple 
buttons and a text box.

Like I said, I doubt it will come to this. Nobody wants Steve Litt writing LyX

I 've tried 5 installations / desintallations of all miktex and Lyx.
I'am administrator on my laptop
I've downloaded all the available latex packages 
I' ve tried to use the standard lyx installer and the alt one.
I've used each time the reconfigure options of lyx..
Some people said it is a known issue in the mailing list archive, OK but what 
is the solution?, I can't find it.
I 'am on this issue for one week, I am becoming a little bit desperate...

More than that I have on another windows XP PC (desktop) an old mikex 2.7 with 
Lyx 1.6 working perfectly well...
But miktex 2.7 is now not available.

I'am going to test Texlive if it is possible.

LyX 2-dev on MacOSX compiled

2010-02-26 Thread Joachim Osnabryg


Happy

to announce that I compiled successfully the LyX 2.0 svn version on MacOSX  
10.4 Tiger today.


Thanks to the hints from Julio Rojas and Guenter Milde, and the especially  
the kindly helping of BH bewih...@gmail.com, all on  
gmane.editors.lyx.general (ML lyx-users@lists.lyx.org) within the thread  
Lyx 2.0.


The general way I followed is described in the INSTALL.MacOSX which you  
get if downloading the source files by

svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk lyx-devel

After assuring that the PREREQUISITES mentioned therein were already  
fullfilled on my Mac,

I made the following:

I cd'd to the top of the LyX source hierarchy (in my case: $ cd  
/Developer/Applications/lyx-devel/ ), and entered:


$ ./autogen.sh

after that - in the case of _my_ Mac - I continued with:

$ ./configure --prefix=/Applications/LyX.app --with-version-suffix=-svn  
--with-qt4-dir=/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/ --with-included-gettext  
--enable-optimization=-O2  --disable-stdlib-debug


$  make

$ make install

… and had a LyX Version 2.0.0svn on the place of my former LyX 1.6.

And it seems to work properly, so far.

But:
this result, the _overwriting_ of the former LyX 1.6 had not been intended  
by me. To keep the actual LyX 1.6.5 installation, what should I had typed  
within the $ ./configure command?


$ ./configure --prefix=/Applications/LyX-svn.app --with-…
or
$ ./configure --prefix=/some other path than that to  
Applications/LyX.app --with-…


??
Wouldn't be bad, if this would be made somewhat clear in INSTALL.MacOSX!

And, if I want to recover the mistake I made, what to do?

I guess the easyest way would be, to do the procedure of compiling the LyX  
Version 2.0.0svn again but with a corrected $ ./configure command (which  
one?) and then install LyX 1.6.5 again, right? Other recommendations?

The text file you attached shows that LaTeX was successfully installed 
and that LyX could find the LaTeX packages. So it is definitively no an 
issue of MiKTeX.
I therefore don't understand why LyX tells you that it cannot find the 
layout files when you simple create a new document.


The reason must be a path mismatch on your PC but I cannot help you 
further, except of one note: LyX won't work when it is installed in a 
path that contains accented characters. This problem arises when your 
Windows username is for example françois.

Hi all,

I'm sure it won't come to this, but if nobody else does the outline mode
improvement I'll have to do it.

   
We'd welcome it. It may not be that bad, and we can help you clean up 
the code.



Could someone please tell me the source files encompassing the current outline
functionality, as well as the source files implementing an input box with
buttons and a text box? Basically the change involves the addition of a couple
buttons and a text box.

   
The outliner is in GuiToc.{h,cpp} and TocWidget.{h,cpp}, both in 
src/frontends/qt4/. You probably need to deal with TocWidget more.


The easiest way to add the buttons is to load src/frontends/ui/TocUi.ui 
into QtDesigner and put them in. Note that, if you're going to have them 
add sections, they should only be active when we're in that mode. To get 
them to do what you want, see such routines as on_MoveDownTB_clicked(). 
You'll presumably need to do a series of things: Create a new paragraph 
(you are already in one); type out the section stuff; break the 
paragraph again (since you may have been in the middle of a paragraph); 
then set the layout.


The text box could just be a QInputDialog, such as is used in the 
askForText routine in GuiAlert. Or maybe you could just call askForText. 
But you may want to allow the user to choose what kind of section to 
create, and that would be more complex. You could also just create what 
makes sense at that point and then the user can change it if it isn't 
right.

I got LyX to see the larkc.cls on win but it doesn't work on ubuntu.

I placed the .cls and figures here
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex

LyX sees the layout just fine, but renders it like 'book'.
this is the layout:

#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[larkc, book]{larkc}

What is the correct way to troubleshot this? Are there any logs? Since it
renders, but not what I want, it's hard to see what goes on.

Re: Problem using old Lyx document

2010-02-26 Thread Michael Born

Thank you for the info.
I looked through the .lyx files to find a small one for illustrating the
problem, but there is no small example :-(
The whole document consists of 2 .lyx files and 42 pictures - that is
25MB in all. Compressed it is 1.3MB large. Is it allowed to attach such
a large file to a bug report?
The next problem is that I don't have an original PDF of the document. I
just have the 80 page paper. But I think it can be seen easily that the
page boundaries are violated.


@Murat
It seems the document does not use the geometry package, but just
includes some eps/ps files.

Regards,
Michael

 You could help using fixing this by creating a bug report at

 Hard to say without a LyX file. The label warnings can be ignored, so
 the LaTeX-code seems to be OK. When there would be missing
 LaTeX-packages you would not have been able to compile the file.

Did you run the texhash command (no args) from the command line after you

Fwd: Problem using old Lyx document

2010-02-26 Thread Murat Yildizoglu

Hi Michael,
Do you use the geometry package in your document? It has a lot changed
during the last years (the last version is not compatible anymore with
version 2, for example). If you use it in the old way (it was enough
to tell the page size to have a large text width), you should give it
explicit page margins to get back your old margins. This is just a
hint in the fishing game ;-)

Re: Lyx 2.0

 Steve and others,
 For those using Linux, may I strongly recommend GNU Stow for this
 purpose? It puts the compiled version in a safe place (ie, away from
 anthing that your package manager is interested in) and puts symbolic
 links to this safe place. It is a brilliant system for working outside
 the normal package management system.

 Install stow with your normal package manager.

Re: LyX 2: So far so good, except outlines

2010-02-26 Thread Jose Quesada

Hi,

Just a quick note to say that I really like the idea. It'd make LyX a great
tool for jotting ideas (notetaking). I'm already using it in this way. Btw
word 2010 has similar improvements on the outliner sidebar, taken from
oneNote (oneNote is a great piece of software, the only thing I miss since
moving to linux, plenty of good design ideas there).

 Hi all,

 So I svn'ed LyX 2, built it, and ran it. So far so good except outlines. I
 ran
 it against one of my existing books and its associated layout file and
 seealso.inc, and it worked.

 One fascinating thing is for the first time in my history with LyX, I got
 it
 to recognize a layout file first crack out of the box. All I had to do was
 put
 the correctly named .layout in the same directory as the document, and
 bang,
 it worked. I know 1.6.x was *advertised* to work that way, but it didn't.
 Later I'll do some experiments to see if 2.0.x really works that way every
 time, or whether I just got lucky the first time with 2.0.x.  In the past
 I've
 found layout recognition to be a hit or miss intermittent.

 In August I put in a request for a couple improvements to LyX outline mode
 that would stratospherically launch productivity. See it here:

 http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-de...@lists.lyx.org/msg154181.html

 http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6174

 The enhancement described, or even something close, would enable authors to
 construct from scratch outlines within LyX, enhancing the organization and
 value of their documents. It would also limit mistakes as the author flips
 between outline view and document view. I see right now it's owned by
 nobody, and it would be wonderful if it could be addressed. If the
 enhancement as I described it is too difficult to code in time for release,
 I
 can work with the developer to simplify the enhancement while still
 retaining
 its value.

 Anyway, my next step will be to observe and document how all the features
 added since 1.5.x work. 1.6.x had a lot of different inserts. 1.6 has
 layout
 modules, which I haven't explored yet. I hear 2.0 allows you to shut off
 spellcheck in certain styles, which probably means there's LOTS of
 customization that can be done at the style level.

 Anyway, thanks for the great software.

I've traced this to the use of the babel package - it seems to be

AFAIK, babel is loaded by default if you use any Language other than
English (US), be it as document language or for text parts.

 What I find strange is that LyX seems to be introducing the
 \selectlanguage and \foreignlanguage commands in what appears to be a
 random fashion. 

Normally not.

 When I create a new equation-reference, I get something
 like:

   \eqref{\selectlanguage{british}eq:myequation\selectlanguage{english}}

This might be a bug (but see below).

 How does the british language enter my document - the default is
 probably just English on my system. Even my \documentclass command
 (on latex export) shows the british option!

The most comman source of this kind of problems is copy and
paste from a document in another language as the language attribute is
preserved.

Another bug is that, if you select a document part containing an inset
resetting the language is not (always) done inside the inset. Instead,
you have to go into the inset, mark the content and repeat the language
reset command :-( Combine this with the feature that the blue underline
will be not visible for the closed inset, you see the source of much
confusion.

While there is no direct analogon to math-macros, you can define text
