Broken lines in tables
Hi! I'm still working on my diploma thesis, and another issue has come up. In some of my tables, I get broken horizontal lines. I have not been able so far to find out why this happens in some tables, and in others it doesn't. But it's really annoying. I have appended an example file with one of the tables that do this.

Bug of installing the 2.0.2 binaries version on Mac OS X?
Hi, I have just failed installing the 2.0.2 binaries on my OS X 10.4.11. After I installed it, I double clicked on the App to run it, but nothing happened, the Lyx did not show up at all. On my Mac, it is the same problem for both LyX-2.0.2+qt4-cocoa.dmg and LyX-2.0.2+qt4-tiger.dmg. I just tried, and found I can install and run Lyx 1.6.9 successfully with LyX-1.6.9-Mac-Universal.dmg. Could someone please help? Thanks.

It shuld be possible to include this in the copier, so that the re-sampling is done automatically. Only for those that really want it. Some people put huge bitmaps in, so the book will print nicely on the publisher's pro equipment. But of course - there could be a document setting for max bitmap resolution. It should default to no reduction, but if the writer sets it to, say 300dpi, then anything in excess of that could be downsampled. Helge Hafting
Re: Yet another book using LyX
From what I hear, the average properly published nonfiction book sells about 3K copies. At that sales quantity, the author fails to Steve, you may want to qualify that. The average academic book sells probably less than 1K, often less than 500 copies. Which is one of the reasons why the book I just published costs $120: it is targeted at libraries only. No one gets rich in academia. In fact we barely survive.

The format for the internal exporter is LyXHTML. This should be in your view and export menus. Richard Found it! As long as I have your attention, how do you tell the export what CSS file to use? That is all done through layout files. (It's the LyX way.) Much of the CSS is automatically generated. E.g., if you set up some character style with boldface text in LyX, then the XHTML output will generate appropriate CSS: span.stevestyle { font-weight: bold; } unless told to generate something else. You can customize what is generated by adding some layout tags to the InsetLayout declaration: HTMLStyle span.stevestyle { font-weight: bold; background-color: red; } EndHTMLStyle Given the presence of this tag, the default CSS will no longer be generated (but can be forced via HTMLForceCSS 1.) But, as I said, if you just want the obvious thing, LyX will generate it for you. I like this, because everything is in one place, and you often don't have to do anything special for XHTML output. This is why Rob said he was working on layouts for ePub generation. See section 5.4 of the Customization manual for more. At present, LyX's XHTML output does not have the ability to split by chapters and such. I think a more flexible method would be to allow separate output of child documents. (Right now, LyX just outputs them as part of the main document.) Then you divide it up how you like. This shouldn't be too hard. I just haven't had time to do it. Too many other, more pressing bugs to fix right at the moment. Richard

Broken lines in tables
Hi! I'm still working on my diploma thesis, and another issue has come up. In some of my tables, I get broken horizontal lines. I have not been able so far to find out why this happens in some tables, and in others it doesn't. But it's really annoying. I have appended an example file with one of the tables that do this. Can anyone tell me how to avoid or fix this? Any help, as always, greatly appreciated! Thank you! Bianca Diplomarbeit_fixit.lyx Description: Binary data

Bug of installing the 2.0.2 binaries version on Mac OS X?
Hi, I have just failed installing the 2.0.2 binaries on my OS X 10.4.11. After I installed it, I double clicked on the App to run it, but nothing happened, the Lyx did not show up at all. On my Mac, it is the same problem for both LyX-2.0.2+qt4-cocoa.dmg and LyX-2.0.2+qt4-tiger.dmg. I just tried, and found I can install and run Lyx 1.6.9 successfully with LyX-1.6.9-Mac-Universal.dmg. Could someone please help? Thanks.

It shuld be possible to include this in the copier, so that the re-sampling is done automatically. Only for those that really want it. Some people put huge bitmaps in, so the book will print nicely on the publisher's pro equipment. But of course - there could be a document setting for max bitmap resolution. It should default to no reduction, but if the writer sets it to, say 300dpi, then anything in excess of that could be downsampled. Helge Hafting
Re: Yet another book using LyX
From what I hear, the average properly published nonfiction book sells about 3K copies. At that sales quantity, the author fails to Steve, you may want to qualify that. The average academic book sells probably less than 1K, often less than 500 copies. Which is one of the reasons why the book I just published costs $120: it is targeted at libraries only. No one gets rich in academia. In fact we barely survive.

The format for the internal exporter is LyXHTML. This should be in your view and export menus. Richard Found it! As long as I have your attention, how do you tell the export what CSS file to use? That is all done through layout files. (It's the LyX way.) Much of the CSS is automatically generated. E.g., if you set up some character style with boldface text in LyX, then the XHTML output will generate appropriate CSS: span.stevestyle { font-weight: bold; } unless told to generate something else. You can customize what is generated by adding some layout tags to the InsetLayout declaration: HTMLStyle span.stevestyle { font-weight: bold; background-color: red; } EndHTMLStyle Given the presence of this tag, the default CSS will no longer be generated (but can be forced via HTMLForceCSS 1.) But, as I said, if you just want the obvious thing, LyX will generate it for you. I like this, because everything is in one place, and you often don't have to do anything special for XHTML output. This is why Rob said he was working on layouts for ePub generation. See section 5.4 of the Customization manual for more. At present, LyX's XHTML output does not have the ability to split by chapters and such. I think a more flexible method would be to allow separate output of child documents. (Right now, LyX just outputs them as part of the main document.) Then you divide it up how you like. This shouldn't be too hard. I just haven't had time to do it. Too many other, more pressing bugs to fix right at the moment. Richard

OK.

A well employed list is a happy and productive list, and Kindle/iPad provides a revenue stream for authors (most of whom do quite a bit of open contributions). For example, many of the LyX derived print books we discussed in this afternoon's thread are proprietary -- you can't download them and must pay for them. > Generating of kindle (or other proprietary) > eBook formats would then pick up the relevant information from the > ePub document. That sounds good on the surface, but my experience with ePub and Kindle tells me it's a detour where you'd get complex with the ePub, only to unwind the ePub back into simple HTML to be used by kindlegen. What would be excellent is for some loosely formed group of people list all the data needed to generate a Kindle, necessary to generate an iPad book, a Nook book, and an open ePub. If we can get that list complete, then we have a list of what needs to go in the LyX file or possibly a companion file. Once we have those specifications, writing the actual converters would be a secretarial task. As a matter of fact, if the additional data was put in a companion file, then eLyXer and the internal converter wouldn't have to change all that much, and the whole thing might be more modular. > > Splitting a document into several HTML files is non-trivial, as we > need to consider the cross-links.

Broken lines in tables
Hi! I'm still working on my diploma thesis, and another issue has come up. In some of my tables, I get broken horizontal lines. I have not been able so far to find out why this happens in some tables, and in others it doesn't. But it's really annoying. I have appended an example file with one of the tables that do this. Can anyone tell me how to avoid or fix this? Any help, as always, greatly appreciated! Thank you! Bianca Diplomarbeit_fixit.lyx Description: Binary data
line spacing in lyxlist type lists
Hello: How can I set or change the line spacing of the lyxlist style in lyx 2? I would like to set the distance between the list items, and also the linespace within the item. It is also fine if I have to use latex code, or edit the preamble. Thanks, bcsikos

I looked at the lyx's user guide and I found the following in section 3.3.7.3: You can decrease the space by adding an optional argument to the first item of the list. There add the command nolistsep to get no additional list space like in this example: • A bullet list • without additional • vertical space If I understand correctly I have to add '\nolistsep' in TEX code, but I don't know where. If add it right before the first item I get error message: \item \nolistsepa The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. The lyx user guide is very obscure in regard how and where to insert the commands. bcsikos

Bug of installing the 2.0.2 binaries version on Mac OS X?
Hi, I have just failed installing the 2.0.2 binaries on my OS X 10.4.11. After I installed it, I double clicked on the App to run it, but nothing happened, the Lyx did not show up at all. On my Mac, it is the same problem for both LyX-2.0.2+qt4-cocoa.dmg and LyX-2.0.2+qt4-tiger.dmg. I just tried, and found I can install and run Lyx 1.6.9 successfully with LyX-1.6.9-Mac-Universal.dmg. Could someone please help? Thanks.
Re: LyX and Kindle books
I am working on an ePub compatible module right now (document class at any rate). It's for a talk I'm giving at a publishing conference next week. I will try and post something about it next week.

I meant the dimesion of the produced file.pdf My thesis has 60 figures and 230 pages so the output is of 70 Mb... very big! How to reduce it? Reduce the size of the images. You can use e.g. imagemagik to do this. This brings us more or less back to an ever re-occurring discussion: could this be done automatically? It shuld be possible to include this in the copier, so that the re-sampling is done automatically. Only for those that really want it. Some people put huge bitmaps in, so the book will print nicely on the publisher's pro equipment. But of course - there could be a document setting for "max bitmap resolution". It should default to "no reduction", but if the writer sets it to, say 300dpi, then anything in excess of that could be downsampled. Helge Hafting

Yes, that would be fine.

Master/Child documents are too rigid (but eLyXer works fine). eLyXer has the option --splitpart which can divide a document into chapters, sections or subsections. I think it is much more interesting for this task. Alex.

As long as I have your attention, how do you tell the export > what CSS file to use? > That is all done through layout files. (It's the LyX way.) Much of the CSS is automatically generated. E.g., if you set up some character style with boldface text in LyX, then the XHTML output will generate appropriate CSS: span.stevestyle { font-weight: bold; } unless told to generate something else. You can customize what is generated by adding some layout tags to the InsetLayout declaration: HTMLStyle span.stevestyle { font-weight: bold; background-color: red; } EndHTMLStyle Given the presence of this tag, the default CSS will no longer be generated (but can be forced via "HTMLForceCSS 1".) But, as I said, if you just want the obvious thing, LyX will generate it for you. I like this, because everything is in one place, and you often don't have to do anything special for XHTML output. This is why Rob said he was working on layouts for ePub generation. See section 5.4 of the Customization manual for more. At present, LyX's XHTML output does not have the ability to split by chapters and such. I think a more flexible method would be to allow separate output of child documents. (Right now, LyX just outputs them as part of the main document.) Then you divide it up how you like. This shouldn't be too hard. I just haven't had time to do it. Too many other, more pressing bugs to fix right at the moment. Richard
