 Hi Richard,
 
 You'd have a new respect for the payoff after labeling 55 chapters with more 
 than 3 words, and many start with The or A.
 
 If Rainer's idea is too much work, an easier route could be made. Somewhere 
 in 
 the code is a constant, variable or magic number describing the max length in 
 words of a default label. Just use that constant, variable or magic number to 
 set a variable, and then override the variable based on an environment 
 variable if the environment variable exists. I'd guess it would be about a 
 ten 
 minute change.
 
 Then, if that environment variable solution becomes popular, at a later time 
 the number of words can be set using a genuine configuration screen.
 
 How does that sound?

As a user I'd like and propose another solution:
* maintain a black list of words [per language] (give the user a chance to edit 
it)
* skip words from this list at the beginning
* use the remaining words until max is reached or
* use more words being skipped if the max is not reached.

The problem is where to store this list of words - we have too many 
RC-variables already.

Sounds like a reasonable solution - but would it be then a major step to
put the first 10 words into variables which could then be assembled
through a parser by a pattern specified by the user? I guess it would be
a more difficult, but much more difficult? I don't know - but it would
be a nice touch to have such a feature.

 
 The problem is where to store this list of words - we have too many

That is an internal question, but I think it should be user editable  so
via preferences would be fine (I don't know if that goes back to the
RC-variables you mentioned).

What about Alt+I+L ? I guess you know that all menu items are accessible

LYX software query

[Ben Lincoln]

Hi,

I work in the IT arena at Deutsche Bank, a user has come to me requesting LYX 
on his work PC

Please could you give me some information on the following:

Lyx being free,  is this something that can also be installed within a 
Corporate environment or does this change the perspective on it?

It seems that when you installed it requires the ability to go to the web and 
pull down files, could you confirm that this is the case?

Being a Corporate Environment we have firewalls in place and this would block 
certain ports, what ports does this software communicate through.

Does the software require a 2 way ability to run.

Is the an alternative install method/cost for Banks etc?

Sorry for all the question but do appreciate your help

Many thanks in advance
Ben

No, you can use it freely.

It seems that when you installed it requires the ability to go to the 
web and pull down files, could you confirm that this is the case?




This is not necessary. Either you install MikTeX (assuming you are 
talking about windows) separately, or you can download the 
installer-bundle (IIRC this includes MikTeX).


Being a Corporate Environment we have firewalls in place and this 
would block certain ports, what ports does this software communicate 
through.




When LyX is installed, there is no communication needed.

No.

You can hire me as a consultant to help you out and create an 
alternative install method that suits your preferences/needs.

LyX did not find your TeX installation when configuring.

Try ExtraReconfigure.

I absolutely agree - this would make life so much easier: you can write
in LyX, export sematically to doc / odt and do the formating in word /
openoffice / libreoffice if the editor / conference only provides a
specific word template.

Definitely a priority.

Excellent idea, I think. Perhaps Richard can comment on  how far the
XHTML filter is from the goal? My impression, as a user, is that it
comes pretty close to what the project would be producing.

How to avoid lines gioing over margins?

[Rainer M Krug]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

I am using typewriter to point certain terms ou, but these go over the
margins of the paragraphs (see attached screenshot).

Is there a way that I can avoid this?

Here is the LaTeX code as generated by LyX:

The simulation consists of different modules which handle the dynamics
over time (see figure~\ref{fig:Flowchart-modules}. The modules govern
creation of new individuals (\texttt{newFlowers}, \texttt{renewEnergy},
\texttt{releaseMidge}, \texttt{releaseWeavil}), state transitions
(\texttt{stateAggingDeterministic}), stage transitions (\texttt{newGrePod},
\texttt{gallingMidge}, \texttt{emergenceMidge}, \texttt{ovipositionWeavil},
\texttt{emergenceWeavil}) (see figure~\ref{fig:Chart-stages}) and
internal book keeping (\texttt{beginDay}, \texttt{endDay}). Energy
is reduced by the processes \texttt{stateAggingDeterministic} and
\texttt{newFlowers}, and renewed by \texttt{renewEnergy}.


Thanks,

Rainer

 Dear all, I have recently installed Lyx 2.0 RC1 for Windows using the

 a lot of packages I frequently use are not installed. Lyx compilation
 (with both 1.6.9 and 2.0) works in some cases for packages reported as
 not installed and doesn't work for packages reported as installed. I
 have tried to compile a big document (my thesis) and it gave me plenty
 of errors. I deleted the packages found in
 ~User/AppData/Roaming/MiKTeX/2.8/tex/latex, rebuild MikTeX index and
 it compiled perfectly. Now, I'm trying to compile my CV (which
 compiled perfectly before 2.0 RC1) and the following error appears:

 It seems like a broken miktex installation. Can you try with plain latex? or
 just LyX 1.6 if it's still on your machine?

 Sorry, I can't be of much help.

 This is not necessary. Either you install MikTeX (assuming you are talking

 this includes MikTeX).

the problem is that some styles/classes are downloaded by miktex itself
and by default miktex tries to update things as well iirc.

Hi Steve,

 then I'm on it like a squirrel on a tree. Let me tell you why.

 your favorite phrase meaning incompetent here) MSWord in order to put it on 
 a Kindle? Really?

If you're using version 2.0 of LyX, you can also export to XHTML. Kindle and 
Barnes and Noble PubIt let you upload HTML files without first converting to 
Word. If you don't mind hacking the layout files, you can also get a huge 
degree of control over how your document appears.

For example, if you wanted to change the heading for chapter style so that it 
exports to h1 (right now, it exports to h2), you could use the following in 
the local layout of your file.

Style Chapter
HTMLTag h2
End

If you wanted to modify how the CSS appears, you could then use the HTMLStyle 
tag to do something fancy.  For example, the CSS below would allow you to make 
an off-white headline example with small caps.

Style Chapter
HTML Tagh2
HTMLStyle   font-family:Georgia,serif: color: #4#443C; 
font-variant: small-caps; text-transform: none; font-weight 100; margin-bottom: 
0;
End

You can use this technique to override any of the of default CSS for any 
document class.

it's also a very good way to import a file into Word, since you can specify 
exactly what you would like for the styles to appear as, and Word will do its 
best to imitate them (as will OpenOffice). Generally, it does a pretty good job 
of getting both the styles and the appearance.

I've been using it to exchange chapters of the neverending book project with 
the editors. So far, no major mishaps. It may even be pretty easy to automate 
using either the Java tool I created for importing Word files or an external 
tool.

What I'm curious about, though, is if there is an HTML import script. That's a 
part of LyX I haven't played with at all.

Cheers,

Rob

Correct paging on PDFs with chapter*

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

My book has 57 chapters whose environment is Chapter. THen it has an Epilogue 
and three Appendices whose environments are Chapter* because I don't want them 
to have chapter numbers. The book's table of contents gets the page numbers 
right, but the PDF's clickable links in the Table of Contents and its sidebar 
clickable Table of Contents both bring you to wrong places when you click 
them. Specifically, they bring you to points in the book earlier than the 
desired place. I've already tried including package tcloft and using 
\cleardoublepage at the end of preceding chapters, and nothing worked.

I need to find a way around this, either by fixing the clickability of 
Chapter* within PDFs, or using Chapter and somehow suppressing chapter 
numbering and the use of the word Chapter. Any ideas?

Thanks

Re: Correct paging on PDFs with chapter* SOLVED

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

The documented, correct, and functional fix for this is to use the 
\phantomsection command before every \addcontentsline command. The reason is 
the hyperref package has a hard time with \addcontentsline and so the hyperref 
package offers the \phantomsection command as an official workaround.

So when you guys come up with situations where \addcontentsline produces the 
numerically right page numbers in print but goes to the wrong page when 
clicked, suspect this hyperref anomole and try the \phantomsection official 
workaround.

Thanks

More hyperref bogosity

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I have an appendix listing the several processes in my book, with cross 
references pointing to the pages on which these processes are discussed, using 
a text:myprocess-discussion-start and text:myprocess-discussion-end labels 
within the book's text. All of the cross references print the correct page 
number, but several go to the wrong page (an earlier page) if you click them. 
However, many of the cross references go to the correct page when clicked. I 
see no distinction between the ones that screw up and the ones that work 
correctly.

Before I take a half a day or more slowly deconstructing this 110,000 word 
book to form a small test case, does anyone have any ideas why some cross 
references would screw up?

I really don't know all that much about this problem. All I know is that
when I did my thesis in LyX, I had some links going to wrong pages. To fix
it, I had to use some ERT with \phantomsection in certain places, if I
remember correctly. It's my understanding this has to do with how the marks
are set for hyperref to deal with them. I'm certain there are others who
know more, but this might help.

 Hi Richard,
 
 You'd have a new respect for the payoff after labeling 55 chapters with more 
 than 3 words, and many start with The or A.
 
 If Rainer's idea is too much work, an easier route could be made. Somewhere 
 in 
 the code is a constant, variable or magic number describing the max length in 
 words of a default label. Just use that constant, variable or magic number to 
 set a variable, and then override the variable based on an environment 
 variable if the environment variable exists. I'd guess it would be about a 
 ten 
 minute change.
 
 Then, if that environment variable solution becomes popular, at a later time 
 the number of words can be set using a genuine configuration screen.
 
 How does that sound?

As a user I'd like and propose another solution:
* maintain a black list of words [per language] (give the user a chance to edit 
it)
* skip words from this list at the beginning
* use the remaining words until max is reached or
* use more words being skipped if the max is not reached.

The problem is where to store this list of words - we have too many

a more difficult, but much more difficult? I don't know - but it would
be a nice touch to have such a feature.

 
 The problem is where to store this list of words - we have too many

That is an internal question, but I think it should be user editable  so

First of all, there's no hotkey -- I have to do Insert-Label on every one.


What about Alt+I+L ? I guess you know that all menu items are accessible 
via the keyboard. We developers are very careful that all LyX features 
can be used without the keyboard.

LYX software query

[Ben Lincoln]

Hi,

I work in the IT arena at Deutsche Bank, a user has come to me requesting LYX 
on his work PC

Please could you give me some information on the following:

Lyx being free,  is this something that can also be installed within a 
Corporate environment or does this change the perspective on it?

It seems that when you installed it requires the ability to go to the web and 
pull down files, could you confirm that this is the case?

Being a Corporate Environment we have firewalls in place and this would block 
certain ports, what ports does this software communicate through.

Does the software require a 2 way ability to run.

Is the an alternative install method/cost for Banks etc?

Sorry for all the question but do appreciate your help

Many thanks in advance
Ben

No, you can use it freely.

It seems that when you installed it requires the ability to go to the 
web and pull down files, could you confirm that this is the case?




This is not necessary. Either you install MikTeX (assuming you are 
talking about windows) separately, or you can download the 
installer-bundle (IIRC this includes MikTeX).


Being a Corporate Environment we have firewalls in place and this 
would block certain ports, what ports does this software communicate 
through.




When LyX is installed, there is no communication needed.


Does the software require a 2 way ability to run.



No.


Is the an alternative install method/cost for Banks etc?



You can hire me as a consultant to help you out and create an 
alternative install method that suits your preferences/needs.



Sorry for all the question but do appreciate your help

Many thanks in advance

LyX did not find your TeX installation when configuring.

Try ExtraReconfigure.

If this does not help, tell us more about the context.

I absolutely agree - this would make life so much easier: you can write
in LyX, export sematically to doc / odt and do the formating in word /
openoffice / libreoffice if the editor / conference only provides a
specific word template.

Definitely a priority.

Excellent idea, I think. Perhaps Richard can comment on  how far the
XHTML filter is from the goal? My impression, as a user, is that it
comes pretty close to what the project would be producing.

How to avoid lines gioing over margins?

[Rainer M Krug]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

I am using typewriter to point certain terms ou, but these go over the
margins of the paragraphs (see attached screenshot).

Is there a way that I can avoid this?

Here is the LaTeX code as generated by LyX:

The simulation consists of different modules which handle the dynamics
over time (see figure~\ref{fig:Flowchart-modules}. The modules govern
creation of new individuals (\texttt{newFlowers}, \texttt{renewEnergy},
\texttt{releaseMidge}, \texttt{releaseWeavil}), state transitions
(\texttt{stateAggingDeterministic}), stage transitions (\texttt{newGrePod},
\texttt{gallingMidge}, \texttt{emergenceMidge}, \texttt{ovipositionWeavil},
\texttt{emergenceWeavil}) (see figure~\ref{fig:Chart-stages}) and
internal book keeping (\texttt{beginDay}, \texttt{endDay}). Energy
is reduced by the processes \texttt{stateAggingDeterministic} and
\texttt{newFlowers}, and renewed by \texttt{renewEnergy}.


Thanks,

Rainer

the problem is that some styles/classes are downloaded by miktex itself

I'm not quite sure what you guys mean by semantic import/export, but if you 
mean exporting the text marked up with (empty) styles and the (empty) style 
definitions so all I have to do with the MSWord file is fill in the styles, 
then I'm on it like a squirrel on a tree. Let me tell you why.

The (insert your own curse phrase here) fools controlling the various eBook 
formats have made it almost necessary to use MSWord as the input to the eBook 
conversion process. Saaayyy what??? So let me get this straight. I write 
my book in a good software like LyX, and then have to rewrite it in (insert 
your favorite phrase meaning incompetent here) MSWord in order to put it on 
a Kindle? Really?

You know, if we're really considering this, there should be an option to 
convert what we call Part, Chapter, Section, Subsection... to MSWord's 
Header1, Header2, Header3, Header4 etc. And of course we need to do it 
configurably because not everyone uses parts and not everyone uses chapters. 
I'm attaching part of my VimOutliner to LyX converter so you can see how I 
implemented a similar level to level mapping in that software.

I'm not quite sure what you guys mean by semantic import/export, but if you
mean exporting the text marked up with (empty) styles and the (empty) style
definitions so all I have to do with the MSWord file is fill in the styles,
then I'm on it like a squirrel on a tree. Let me tell you why.

The (insert your own curse phrase here) fools controlling the various eBook
formats have made it almost necessary to use MSWord as the input to the eBook
conversion process. Saaayyy what??? So let me get this straight. I write
my book in a good software like LyX, and then have to rewrite it in (insert
your favorite phrase meaning incompetent here) MSWord in order to put it on
a Kindle? Really?

You know, if we're really considering this, there should be an option to
convert what we call Part, Chapter, Section, Subsection... to MSWord's
Header1, Header2, Header3, Header4 etc. And of course we need to do it
configurably because not everyone uses parts and not everyone uses chapters.
I'm attaching part of my VimOutliner to LyX converter so you can see how I
implemented a similar level to level mapping in that software.

 your favorite phrase meaning incompetent here) MSWord in order to put it on 
 a Kindle? Really?

If you're using version 2.0 of LyX, you can also export to XHTML. Kindle and 
Barnes and Noble PubIt let you upload HTML files without first converting to 
Word. If you don't mind hacking the layout files, you can also get a huge 
degree of control over how your document appears.

For example, if you wanted to change the heading for chapter style so that it 
exports to h1 (right now, it exports to h2), you could use the following in 
the local layout of your file.

Style Chapter
HTMLTag h2
End

If you wanted to modify how the CSS appears, you could then use the HTMLStyle 
tag to do something fancy.  For example, the CSS below would allow you to make 
an off-white headline example with small caps.

Style Chapter
HTML Tagh2
HTMLStyle   font-family:Georgia,serif: color: #4#443C; 
font-variant: small-caps; text-transform: none; font-weight 100; margin-bottom: 
0;
End

You can use this technique to override any of the of default CSS for any 
document class.

it's also a very good way to import a file into Word, since you can specify 
exactly what you would like for the styles to appear as, and Word will do its 
best to imitate them (as will OpenOffice). Generally, it does a pretty good job 
of getting both the styles and the appearance.

I've been using it to exchange chapters of the neverending book project with 
the editors. So far, no major mishaps. It may even be pretty easy to automate 
using either the Java tool I created for importing Word files or an external 
tool.

What I'm curious about, though, is if there is an HTML import script. That's a 
part of LyX I haven't played with at all.

Cheers,

Rob

Correct paging on PDFs with chapter*

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

My book has 57 chapters whose environment is Chapter. THen it has an Epilogue 
and three Appendices whose environments are Chapter* because I don't want them 
to have chapter numbers. The book's table of contents gets the page numbers 
right, but the PDF's clickable links in the Table of Contents and its sidebar 
clickable Table of Contents both bring you to wrong places when you click 
them. Specifically, they bring you to points in the book earlier than the 
desired place. I've already tried including package tcloft and using 
\cleardoublepage at the end of preceding chapters, and nothing worked.

I need to find a way around this, either by fixing the clickability of 
Chapter* within PDFs, or using Chapter and somehow suppressing chapter 
numbering and the use of the word Chapter. Any ideas?

Thanks

Re: Correct paging on PDFs with chapter* SOLVED

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

The documented, correct, and functional fix for this is to use the 
\phantomsection command before every \addcontentsline command. The reason is 
the hyperref package has a hard time with \addcontentsline and so the hyperref 
package offers the \phantomsection command as an official workaround.

So when you guys come up with situations where \addcontentsline produces the 
numerically right page numbers in print but goes to the wrong page when 
clicked, suspect this hyperref anomole and try the \phantomsection official 
workaround.

Thanks

 This is not necessary. Either you install MikTeX (assuming you are talking 
 about windows) separately, or you can download the installer-bundle (IIRC 
 this includes MikTeX).

 the problem is that some styles/classes are downloaded by miktex itself
 and by default miktex tries to update things as well iirc.

But, AFAIK, this can be turned off in the configuration.

More hyperref bogosity

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I have an appendix listing the several processes in my book, with cross 
references pointing to the pages on which these processes are discussed, using 
a text:myprocess-discussion-start and text:myprocess-discussion-end labels 
within the book's text. All of the cross references print the correct page 
number, but several go to the wrong page (an earlier page) if you click them. 
However, many of the cross references go to the correct page when clicked. I 
see no distinction between the ones that screw up and the ones that work 
correctly.

Before I take a half a day or more slowly deconstructing this 110,000 word 
book to form a small test case, does anyone have any ideas why some cross 
references would screw up?

I really don't know all that much about this problem. All I know is that
when I did my thesis in LyX, I had some links going to wrong pages. To fix
it, I had to use some ERT with \phantomsection in certain places, if I
remember correctly. It's my understanding this has to do with how the marks
are set for hyperref to deal with them. I'm certain there are others who
know more, but this might help.

As a user I'd like and propose another solution:
* maintain a black list of words [per language] (give the user a chance to edit 
it)
* skip words from this list at the beginning
* use the remaining words until max is reached or
* use more words being skipped if the max is not reached.

The problem is where to store this list of words - we have too many 
RC-variables already.

 At least for this you can easily define a custom shortcut. See the
 docs (Customization and Functions, I think).

 I have no idea, but this might be hardcoded. You have always the
 option to change it in the sources and rebuild it for you needs.
 Otherwise perhaps file a bug report.

Sounds like a reasonable solution - but would it be then a major step to
put the first 10 words into variables which could then be assembled
through a parser by a pattern specified by the user? I guess it would be
a more difficult, but much more difficult? I don't know - but it would
be a nice touch to have such a feature.

That is an internal question, but I think it should be user editable  so
via preferences would be fine (I don't know if that goes back to the
RC-variables you mentioned).

Rainer

LYX software query

[Ben Lincoln]

Hi,

I work in the IT arena at Deutsche Bank, a user has come to me requesting LYX 
on his work PC

Please could you give me some information on the following:

Lyx being free,  is this something that can also be installed within a 
Corporate environment or does this change the perspective on it?

It seems that when you installed it requires the ability to go to the web and 
pull down files, could you confirm that this is the case?

Being a Corporate Environment we have firewalls in place and this would block 
certain ports, what ports does this software communicate through.

Does the software require a 2 way ability to run.

Is the an alternative install method/cost for Banks etc?

Sorry for all the question but do appreciate your help

Many thanks in advance
Ben

Excellent idea, I think. Perhaps Richard can comment on  how far the
XHTML filter is from the goal? My impression, as a user, is that it
comes pretty close to what the project would be producing.

How to avoid lines gioing over margins?

[Rainer M Krug]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

I am using typewriter to point certain terms ou, but these go over the
margins of the paragraphs (see attached screenshot).

Is there a way that I can avoid this?

Here is the LaTeX code as generated by LyX:

The simulation consists of different modules which handle the dynamics
over time (see figure~\ref{fig:Flowchart-modules}. The modules govern
creation of new individuals (\texttt{newFlowers}, \texttt{renewEnergy},
\texttt{releaseMidge}, \texttt{releaseWeavil}), state transitions
(\texttt{stateAggingDeterministic}), stage transitions (\texttt{newGrePod},
\texttt{gallingMidge}, \texttt{emergenceMidge}, \texttt{ovipositionWeavil},
\texttt{emergenceWeavil}) (see figure~\ref{fig:Chart-stages}) and
internal book keeping (\texttt{beginDay}, \texttt{endDay}). Energy
is reduced by the processes \texttt{stateAggingDeterministic} and
\texttt{newFlowers}, and renewed by \texttt{renewEnergy}.


Thanks,

Rainer

the problem is that some styles/classes are downloaded by miktex itself

I'm not quite sure what you guys mean by "semantic import/export", but if you 
mean exporting the text marked up with (empty) styles and the (empty) style 
definitions so all I have to do with the MSWord file is fill in the styles, 
then I'm on it like a squirrel on a tree. Let me tell you why.

The (insert your own curse phrase here) fools controlling the various eBook 
formats have made it almost necessary to use MSWord as the input to the eBook 
conversion process. Saaayyy what??? So let me get this straight. I write 
my book in a good software like LyX, and then have to rewrite it in (insert 
your favorite phrase meaning "incompetent" here) MSWord in order to put it on 
a Kindle? Really?

You know, if we're really considering this, there should be an option to 
convert what we call Part, Chapter, Section, Subsection... to MSWord's 
Header1, Header2, Header3, Header4 etc. And of course we need to do it 
configurably because not everyone uses parts and not everyone uses chapters. 
I'm attaching part of my VimOutliner to LyX converter so you can see how I 
implemented a similar level to level mapping in that software.

If you're using version 2.0 of LyX, you can also export to XHTML. Kindle and 
Barnes and Noble PubIt let you upload HTML files without first converting to 
Word. If you don't mind hacking the layout files, you can also get a huge 
degree of control over how your document appears.

For example, if you wanted to change the heading for chapter style so that it 
exports to  (right now, it exports to ), you could use the following in 
the local layout of your file.

Style Chapter
HTMLTag h2
End

If you wanted to modify how the CSS appears, you could then use the HTMLStyle 
tag to do something fancy.  For example, the CSS below would allow you to make 
an off-white headline example with small caps.

Style Chapter
HTML Tagh2
HTMLStyle   "font-family:Georgia,serif: color: #4#443C; 
font-variant: small-caps; text-transform: none; font-weight 100; margin-bottom: 
0;"
End

You can use this technique to override any of the of default CSS for any 
document class.

it's also a very good way to import a file into Word, since you can specify 
exactly what you would like for the styles to appear as, and Word will do its 
best to imitate them (as will OpenOffice). Generally, it does a pretty good job 
of getting both the styles and the appearance.

I've been using it to exchange chapters of the neverending book project with 
the editors. So far, no major mishaps. It may even be pretty easy to automate 
using either the Java tool I created for importing Word files or an external 
tool.

What I'm curious about, though, is if there is an HTML import script. That's a 
part of LyX I haven't played with at all.

Cheers,

Rob

Correct paging on PDFs with chapter*

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

My book has 57 chapters whose environment is Chapter. THen it has an Epilogue 
and three Appendices whose environments are Chapter* because I don't want them 
to have chapter numbers. The book's table of contents gets the page numbers 
right, but the PDF's clickable links in the Table of Contents and its sidebar 
clickable Table of Contents both bring you to wrong places when you click 
them. Specifically, they bring you to points in the book earlier than the 
desired place. I've already tried including package tcloft and using 
\cleardoublepage at the end of preceding chapters, and nothing worked.

I need to find a way around this, either by fixing the clickability of 
Chapter* within PDFs, or using Chapter and somehow suppressing chapter 
numbering and the use of the word "Chapter". Any ideas?

Thanks

Re: Correct paging on PDFs with chapter*

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

The documented, correct, and functional fix for this is to use the 
\phantomsection command before every \addcontentsline command. The reason is 
the hyperref package has a hard time with \addcontentsline and so the hyperref 
package offers the \phantomsection command as an official workaround.

So when you guys come up with situations where \addcontentsline produces the 
numerically right page numbers in print but goes to the wrong page when 
clicked, suspect this hyperref anomole and try the \phantomsection official 
workaround.

Thanks

But, AFAIK, this can be turned off in the configuration.

More hyperref bogosity

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I have an appendix listing the several processes in my book, with cross 
references pointing to the pages on which these processes are discussed, using 
a text:myprocess-discussion-start and text:myprocess-discussion-end labels 
within the book's text. All of the cross references print the correct page 
number, but several go to the wrong page (an earlier page) if you click them. 
However, many of the cross references go to the correct page when clicked. I 
see no distinction between the ones that screw up and the ones that work 
correctly.

Before I take a half a day or more slowly deconstructing this 110,000 word 
book to form a small test case, does anyone have any ideas why some cross 
references would screw up?

Thanks

SteveT

I really don't know all that much about this problem. All I know is that
when I did my thesis in LyX, I had some links going to wrong pages. To fix
it, I had to use some ERT with \phantomsection in certain places, if I
remember correctly. It's my understanding this has to do with how the marks
are set for hyperref to deal with them. I'm certain there are others who
know more, but this might help.
