Yes, that's true.

 So, if I understand well, when you start a new document and put into
 it a first chunk in another language, you have to go through the
 Paragraph Settings/Customized/Language, instead of Language in the
 contextual menu. Afterwards the Language menu item becomes visible,
 since Lyx detects that your document contains at least two languages.

Correct.

 Maybe Lyx is trying to be too smart here, no? IMHO, it would be nice
 to have this Language menu item from the start (supposing that it
 effectively does what it is supposed to do :-)  ). Am I the only one
 to think like that (if this is the case, I could customize my
 contextual menu in Lyx I imagine, I have never tried this?

I don't think this is possible. The presence and contents of the language
choice sub-menu is computed at run-time based on the currently used languages.

If this is too smart... I don't know. When going from mono-lingual to 
multi-lingual
it's not convenient indeed. But the alternate solutions are not that obvious.

Does Sweave work for LyX 2.13 on Windows 7

[christiaan pauw]

Hallo Everybody

Has anyone had success with Sweave of Lyx 2.14 on Windows 7 . I have tried
twice on two computers without success. Most recently I have installed R
(2.13.1 i386-PC-mingw32/i386 (32-bit), LyX (2.13) and Miktex (none is paths
with spaces - as I have gathered that that may cause a problem) as well as
Rtools on Windows 7 but I still could not get it to work. Sweave seems to
work from R (I can create a pdf for the example files).  From what I have
read on the web, since LyX 2 Sweave is a module in LyX and should 'just
work'. I there something I missed? I also have a Mac and there everything
works without a problem.

Edit math after preview

[langemann]

Is it possible to edit a math command after an instant-preview has been
created?
 Say I want to change \int to \iint after the integral sign is previewed.
There *should* be a possibility for that by, say, pressing F2 or something
similar.
 I tried to just turn off instant-preview, but that didn't work either (it
didn't do anything actually, even when I typed new math commands they got
previewed...)
 I use LyX 2.0.1 on windows 

PS: I DO NOT want instant-preview turned off (it's one of the best things
with LyX), I just want to edit math after it has been previewed
 
thanks for any suggestions

Don't know how to do it with the keyboard, but with LyX 1.6.9 on Linux
it is enough to click somewhere in the preview, and it becomes editable

Unwanted number in page header for Chapter*

[Manveru]

Hi,

Not directly LyX related, but maybe someone will be able to help me.

I am using Chapter* environment for my Prologue and Epilogue in mwbook
class document. However for these chapters I see Chapter 0. Prologue
and Chapter 8. Epilogue for chapters I do not want to number. Is there
any method to remove Chapter X. part from page header for these two
chapters only?

My fancyheader settings from preamble:
\fancyhead[RO,LE]{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}
\fancyhead[LO,RE]{\nouppercase{\rightmark}}

Thank you for any advice.

Assuming your class is derived from book, \markboth{}{} in LaTeX code

Other things that work: hit Enter after the text, then insert the display

This is controlled by the document class. You would have to modify the

This isn't insanely hard to do, but one would have to decide exactly

Exactly, it is not possible with the standard class. Short of writing 
the latex code for it, you could also use one of the latex classes that 
make such customization easy. I vaguely remember that the memoir class 
and koma-script classes will allow you to do what you want. Since I'm no 
expert, I can only suggest that you look at their documentation.

Size and color do make sense for math. Underline could potentially apply 
to math as well, but since it causes latex compilation failure, it is 
clearly a bug. The other text styles need not be carried into math 
formulas, as they don't affect math fonts, but they are kept anyway. 
Probably because they have not caused latex compilation failure so far.

Index

[Jason Waskiewicz]

Over the summer, I updated my computer to a MacBook Air. Today, I was trying to 
run a document with an index. Everything works, except for the index.

I'm running LyX 2.01.

The document is a master document with 24 child documents. The index references 
are in the child documents. The index command itself is in the master document. 
The document class is Memoir.

I've verified that the makeindex package is installed. I have also found that 
the index will not work even on old documents or when the document has the 
index command right in it. I tried to see if the LyX documentation works, but 
there seems to be an error in the documentation itself (missing figure).

Unwanted number in page header for Chapter*

[Manveru]

Hi,

Not directly LyX related, but maybe someone will be able to help me.

I am using Chapter* environment for my Prologue and Epilogue in mwbook
class document. However for these chapters I see Chapter 0. Prologue
and Chapter 8. Epilogue for chapters I do not want to number. Is there
any method to remove Chapter X. part from page header for these two
chapters only?

My fancyheader settings from preamble:
\fancyhead[RO,LE]{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}
\fancyhead[LO,RE]{\nouppercase{\rightmark}}

Thank you for any advice.

This is controlled by the document class. You would have to modify the
book class in order to get such a comment to print on the Part page.
This isn't insanely hard to do, but one would have to decide exactly

Exactly, it is not possible with the standard class. Short of writing 
the latex code for it, you could also use one of the latex classes that 
make such customization easy. I vaguely remember that the memoir class 
and koma-script classes will allow you to do what you want. Since I'm no 
expert, I can only suggest that you look at their documentation.

Size and color do make sense for math. Underline could potentially apply 
to math as well, but since it causes latex compilation failure, it is 
clearly a bug. The other text styles need not be carried into math 
formulas, as they don't affect math fonts, but they are kept anyway. 
Probably because they have not caused latex compilation failure so far.

Index

[Jason Waskiewicz]

Over the summer, I updated my computer to a MacBook Air. Today, I was trying to 
run a document with an index. Everything works, except for the index.

I'm running LyX 2.01.

The document is a master document with 24 child documents. The index references 
are in the child documents. The index command itself is in the master document. 
The document class is Memoir.

I've verified that the makeindex package is installed. I have also found that 
the index will not work even on old documents or when the document has the 
index command right in it. I tried to see if the LyX documentation works, but 
there seems to be an error in the documentation itself (missing figure).

Any ideas?

I don't know if I can help, but your report contains no error details.
You need to be more specific to get help.

For which part of the documentation do you get the missing figure error?

I don't think this is possible. The presence and contents of the language
choice sub-menu is computed at run-time based on the currently used languages.

If this is too smart... I don't know. When going from mono-lingual to 
multi-lingual
it's not convenient indeed. But the alternate solutions are not that obvious.

Edit math after preview

Is it possible to edit a math command after an instant-preview has been
created?
 Say I want to change \int to \iint after the integral sign is previewed.
There *should* be a possibility for that by, say, pressing F2 or something
similar.
 I tried to just turn off instant-preview, but that didn't work either (it
didn't do anything actually, even when I typed new math commands they got
previewed...)
 I use LyX 2.0.1 on windows 

PS: I DO NOT want instant-preview turned off (it's one of the best things

Don't know how to do it with the keyboard, but with LyX 1.6.9 on Linux
it is enough to click somewhere in the preview, and it becomes editable
again.

Re: Does Sweave work for LyX 2.13 on Windows 7

[Yihui Xie]

What exactly do you mean by "does not work"? As a first step, can you
add the Sweave module to a LyX document?

This is controlled by the document class. You would have to modify the
book class in order to get such a comment to print on the Part page.
This isn't insanely hard to do, but one would have to decide exactly
what syntax to use, etc.

Exactly, it is not possible with the standard class. Short of writing 
the latex code for it, you could also use one of the latex classes that 
make such customization easy. I vaguely remember that the memoir class 
and koma-script classes will allow you to do what you want. Since I'm no 
expert, I can only suggest that you look at their documentation.

As a workaround, insert in ERT two curly brackets. (See the attached example.)



Other things that work: hit Enter after the text, then insert the display
formula; use the text style button to reset the underbar style immediately at
the end of the text, then insert the display mode formula; create the document
the way you did but highlight the formula and use the text style dialog to reset
the underbar before compiling.

As to whether this is a bug, I think that would depend at minimum on whether
there are text styles (other than underbar) that one would want to extend into
display mode equations.  (I checked, and the document compiles fine if the
formula is inline; it has to be display mode to screw up.)  I can't think of any
reason to carry text styles into display mode formulas, but I'm not the most
imaginative guy when it comes to writing.  If there is no reason, that it might
be reasonable to ask LyX to discontinue text styles when display mode is
encountered and resume them later.

Size and color do make sense for math. Underline could potentially apply 
to math as well, but since it causes latex compilation failure, it is 
clearly a bug. The other text styles need not be carried into math 
formulas, as they don't affect math fonts, but they are kept anyway. 
Probably because they have not caused latex compilation failure so far.

Index

[Jason Waskiewicz]

Over the summer, I updated my computer to a MacBook Air. Today, I was trying to 
run a document with an index. Everything works, except for the index.

I'm running LyX 2.01.

The document is a master document with 24 child documents. The index references 
are in the child documents. The index command itself is in the master document. 
The document class is Memoir.

I've verified that the makeindex package is installed. I have also found that 
the index will not work even on old documents or when the document has the 
index command right in it. I tried to see if the LyX documentation works, but 
there seems to be an error in the documentation itself (missing figure).

Any ideas?

I don't know if I can help, but your report contains no error details.
You need to be more specific to get help.

For which part of the documentation do you get the missing figure error?
