installing LyX 2.0.1 on Win 7

[Sivan Frenkel]

Hi,
1. You did not put a binary of the latest release for Win7. Is such a binary 
planned?

2. Is there a way to install the update without a binary? I assume I have to 
use cygwin, but am not familier with the program, so any kind of instructions 
will be of great help.
3. Is there a way to install only an update (as was possible in the windows alt 
installer) or should I simply reinstall lyx completely?
Best,
Sivan

[Vincent van Ravesteijn]

Are the dummy tags supposed to come over from the lyx doc? Is this a 
docbook toolchain misconfig on Fedora's part? TIA Phil 


This is: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7004.

I already proposed a patch to fix this last year, but no-one has been 
around to verify the validity of the fix and to explain me how to handle 
things like footnotes.


I think I will commit the fix anyway now.

You can compile LyX with MSVC under Windows, if I'm not mistaken.

Creating a new module (for Sage) : a question

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,

I am trying to write a new module that would allow to introduce me Sage
instructions, like for a Sweave document.
I have read the customization guide but I have a problem in the
implementation of a command.

In a latex document using the sagetex package, one can write

\sageplot[angle=0, width=10cm]{plot(sin(x), 0, pi), axes=True}

to have a plot generated by Sage and inserted in the pdf.

I have written the following definition in my module:


Style sageplot
LatexType Command
 LatexName sageplot
OptionalArgs  1
FreeSpacing   1
 PassThru  1
Spellcheck  0
 TextFont
  Color   latex
  Family  Typewriter
 EndFont
End

In order to be able to write in the lyx document [angle=0,
width=10cm]plot(sin(x), 0, pi), axes=True
and select the sageplot command from the top dropbox of styles, to convert
it to the latex command above.

I am definitely missing something here, since that does not work...

How could I write and environment that accepts options given in the LyX
file. Is this possible at all?

Except this problem, I have now a setup that allows me to put Sage commands
in a lyx file and compile the final PDF including the results of these
commands.

FYI: Sage is a very powerful open source mathematics environment (it pools
together many available open source tools for mathematics).
http://www.sagemath.org/

Once I have a fully working (and tested) setup, I could share it with you
if you are interested by this solution.

Regards,

Murat

How to change numeration size and upper case

[Kenedy Torcatt]

Hello, I have LyX 2.0, using urw-arial, calling the packege with this
code in the preamble:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[scaled]{uarial}
\renewcommand*\familydefault{\sfdefault}

I realized that roman numbers are so tiny and lower case. I need them
upper case a bit bigger.
Arabic numbers are fine.

How could I achieve that?

P.S:_ for roman numbers I used this in the preamble:

\renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}}
\setcounter{page}{1}

Thankyou!

Surprising behavior in LyX 2.0.0 Friday, April 29, 2011, on 64 bit Ubuntu 11.04

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I've found a bit of surprising behavior in Surprising behavior in LyX 
2.0.0 Friday, April 29, 2011, on 64 bit Ubuntu 11.04. If you don't 
know what's going on, you can get yourself into a situation where it 
appears you cannot change any document settings.

I had it happen once, and couldn't reproduce it again. It involved my 
putting bad code in the Document-Settings-Local_Layout box, pressing 
Validate, then cancelling out. From then on, until I did something 
else (which I can't remember), I could never get the OK or Apply 
buttons and hence couldn't change a thing.

If anybody runs into this, please write this list telling, to the best 
of your memory, what you did to make this happen.

Thanks

Insertar imágenes con referencia absoluta

[Leonardo Andrés Jofré Flor]

Estimados amigos:

El problema es el siguiente, requiero generar reportes con lyx y
compartirlos de forma colabotiva por medio de dropbox a mis clientes, para
que hagan observaciones y si es posible editar el documento mismo.

También es necesario que el documento tenga imágenes insertadas.

El problema es el siguiente: cuando yo inserto una imagen en lyx, el código
LaTeX generado guarda la dirección (path) absoluta de mi computadora, yo
necesito que sea la relativa porque cuando mi cliente quiera compilar el
archivo .lyx actualmente le lanza un error ya que no tiene las mismas rutas
de carpetas hacia la imagen.

De antemano muchas gracias.

Yes, I think that's how I finally got rid of it, but of course the

After this, go back to Document Settings, Local Layout, write something

Insertar imágenes con referencia absoluta

[Leonardo Andrés Jofré Flor]

Estimados amigos:

El problema es el siguiente, requiero generar reportes con lyx y
compartirlos de forma colabotiva por medio de dropbox a mis clientes, para
que hagan observaciones y si es posible editar el documento mismo.

También es necesario que el documento tenga imágenes insertadas.

El problema es el siguiente: cuando yo inserto una imagen en lyx, el código
LaTeX generado guarda la dirección (path) absoluta de mi computadora, yo
necesito que sea la relativa porque cuando mi cliente quiera compilar el
archivo .lyx actualmente le lanza un error ya que no tiene las mismas rutas
de carpetas hacia la imagen.

De antemano muchas gracias.

Yes, I think that's how I finally got rid of it, but of course the 
person busily working away won't know to do that. I didn't, at least 
for the first five minutes.
