Hi!

I introduced a LaTeX code in configuration of a listing box. It is like:

backgroundcolor={\color{black}}
basicstyle={\color{green}}
frame=shadowbox
framexleftmargin=5mm
rulesepcolor={\color{blue}}

Published with lyx

[Richard Brown]

Success!

 I am proudly holding my just-published 200 page book -an Italian manual on
how to set up and run humanist funerals- which was typeset entirely in Lyx
and includes text, tables, photos, external files and even music scores.
Thanks to Lyx it looks very professional indeed. I am one happy bear.

 But I have to say that I'd never have got there without the help and active
support which I have received over the last year from this list, every time
I ran into something I couldn't do- which was often!


 So- a very big and heartfelt THANKS to everyone! You are the tops.

[ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.6.6.1 is released

[Jürgen Spitzmüller]

Public release of LyX version 1.6.6.1
=

LyX 1.6.6.1, a service upgrade to LyX 1.6.6, is available now.

The sole purpose of this release is to fix one regression that was introduced
by LyX 1.6.6: The spellchecker missed further misspellings after applying
a correction. This was due to the fix to different bug that had to be
reverted. In any other respect, this release is identical to LyX 1.6.6.

All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

You can download LyX 1.6.6.1 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
which yields smaller files):

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.bz2

and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will
also host the .bz2 versions):

ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.gz
http://lyx.cybermirror.org/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.gz

http://lyx.mirror.fr/stable/1.6.x/lyx-1.6.6.1.tar.gz

Prebuilt binaries (rpms for Linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows
installers) should soon be available at:

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.6.1/

If you already have the sources of the previous release (1.6.6), you may
want to apply one of the following patches instead:

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/patch-1.6.6.1.gz
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/patch-1.6.6.1.bz2

If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.6.1, you may either
e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org),
or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/

If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a
question, first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/. If you can't find
the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

Enjoy!

The LyX team.


What's new in version 1.6.6.1?

** Bug fixes:
*

- Fix the spellchecker so that no misspellings are missed (bug 6708).
  For this, the fix to update correctly the toolbar after the spellchecker
  has made a replacement (bug 6217) had to be reverted.

Microsoft (this was in spite of being a division of Elsevier -- 
apparently Newnes is, or was, fairly independent of the academic 
Elsevier) -- I cheated and did it in OOo, exported to Microsoft, which 
generated some problems in production.


My second book will be presented to a publisher as a LaTeX manuscript

Problems with Elsearticle template

[Bruno Cocciaro]

I cannot add hyperlink in a file opened from elsearticle template.

I use Win 7, Lyx 1.6.5, MixTex 2.8.

After opened a new file from Elsearticle template, if I add a hyperlink (http: 
...) and try to view the pdf I receive the erros:


Error:
Argument of \x has an extra }

Description:
 ...r\proc...@me\string\@la...@\@nil{author} 
%

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.

For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce

this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that

I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway

argument that might be the root of the problem. But if

your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.



and


Error:
Paragraph ended before \x was complete.

Description:
 ...r\proc...@me\string\@la...@\@nil{author} 
%

I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this

control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?

My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.




May anyone help me?

Thank you

Hi Richard,

I join with Tim congratulating you on completing and publishing a book, and 
doing it in LyX, which I consider the best book-writing software in the world.

I've been off the LyX-Users list for a month and didn't even know it, but I'm

Thank you Uwe. Overhang is exactly what I need.
However, I do not want wrapping, and overhang seems to be offered only by
Wrap Float.
I don't think a plain Figure Float recognizes overhang.
Is there an easy way to insert an overhang command into a Figure Float?

Alternatively can I turn off wrapping in a Wrap Float?

I still wish to insert a caption into the space created by the overhang.
I could force the overhang just by letting the caption push the figure
across, thereby creating an overhang,
though I need to do that with the caption always on the inner side.
However getting exactly the same overhang every time would be messy that
way.

Basically, I wish to get all my figures to float to the tops of pages, flush
to the outside and overhang text by a set distance,
thus visually defining a marginal column. Your overhang almost does it.

Cheers, George

Problems with Elsearticle template

[Bruno Cocciaro]

I cannot add hyperlink in a file opened from elsearticle template.

I use Win 7, Lyx 1.6.5, MixTex 2.8.

After opened a new file from Elsearticle template, if I add a hyperlink (http: 
...) and try to view the pdf I receive the erros:


Error:
Argument of \x has an extra }

Description:
 ...r\proc...@me\string\@la...@\@nil{author} 
%

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.

For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce

this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that

I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway

argument that might be the root of the problem. But if

your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.



and


Error:
Paragraph ended before \x was complete.

Description:
 ...r\proc...@me\string\@la...@\@nil{author} 
%

I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this

control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?

My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.




May anyone help me?

Thank you


Bruno Cocciaro

Hi Richard,

I join with Tim congratulating you on completing and publishing a book, and 
doing it in LyX, which I consider the best book-writing software in the world.

I've been off the LyX-Users list for a month and didn't even know it, but I'm 
back now.

Thank you Uwe. "Overhang" is exactly what I need.
However, I do not want wrapping, and "overhang" seems to be offered only by
Wrap Float.
I don't think a plain Figure Float recognizes "overhang".
Is there an easy way to insert an "overhang" command into a Figure Float?

Alternatively can I turn off wrapping in a Wrap Float?

I still wish to insert a caption into the space created by the overhang.
I could force the overhang just by letting the caption push the figure
across, thereby creating an overhang,
though I need to do that with the caption always on the inner side.
However getting exactly the same overhang every time would be messy that
way.

Basically, I wish to get all my figures to float to the tops of pages, flush
to the outside and overhang text by a set distance,
thus visually defining a marginal column. Your "overhang" almost does it.

Cheers, George
