 I would have expected, however, that the reduced spacing affects only the

 A carriage return between normal and small sized text cures it, but that is 
 not what I wanted. 

 It is shown both in Lyx and in the pdf output. 

 I am using Koma book under Debian.

 Do others see the same and is there a way to avoid it besides making a 
 small sized (sub)paragraph?

I remember that in TeX, some settings can only be changed per paragraph. I
don't know whether this also holds for line spacing.

OTOH, the spacing also depends on on which place the size-changing
commands are issued (in relation to line wrapping or hard line breaks).

One option/workaround would be to re-set the linespacing after the change of
size in ERT.

I would export the paragraph to LaTeX and experiment.

If this does not lead to a solution, please post a minimal working example
for others to try.

buffer-view pdf2

[Anna Itkin]

Hello,

I am using LyX version 1.6 under Windows. 
When I want to view a pdf, I receive
no error message, but rather the status buffer-view pdf2. 
The strange thing is that this problem occurs with only one specific file 
(which I did not have a problem viewing until today), all the other 
files can be viewed as pdf. The preferences are set correctly otherwise 
other documents would not be viewed as well.
I will greatly appreciate your help.

Kind regards,
Anna

Well, this does give you a space, but it doesn't conform to typesetting

because the text is treated as a bunch of variables. You can enter

Coloured Sidebar to highlight text passage?

[Peter Baumgartner]

Hello LyX-Community,

Is there a LaTeX/TeX command or package to produce a text sidebar which
could be changed in colour and width? I would need this to highlight text
passages (e.g. Definitions) for a textbook.

At the moment the only way I can think of to produce a sidebar would be a
tabular environment. I wonder if there is no other possibility, a feature
where I could define a new paragraph style or a similar easy usage.

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Not necessarily, for the former installer, I feel remembering that Üwe was

Otherwise, I will uninstall and reinstall but uninstalling oblige you to

Customize Copier in LyX

[Xi Zhang]

I am writing something using LyX in Windows. 

I just want a simple funtion that every time I run pdfletex, the pdf file can 
be copied to the same folder in which the lyx file is. As these files will be 
sycronized by Dropbox, I can reat it on iPhone or iPad.

I know that this has been discribed in Customization.lyx as a simple example. 
However, I have no idea of how Python works and how to make photocopier.sh 
executable.

I don't have too much time to look into this and it will be highly appreciated 
if anyone can give me a simple script or compiled file to have this function.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

I guess Richard's suggestion was:

do not do: viewpdflatex,

***instead**

do: fileexport pdflatex

That would seem to solve your problem.

You may even open a pdf viewer with file watching capabilities on the
exported file before you start working on it and you'd enjoy the same
advantages as working on a file residing temp directory.

In fact, now that I think of, why isn't this LyX's standard behavior (as it
is, e.g., in Kile)?

Cheers,

Stefano

svjour3 algorithm float broken in 2.0.3

Hello

The svjour3 class used to work fine in Lyx 2.0, even with the algorithm float. 
I just upgraded to Lyx 2.0.3 on two different computers, and I get the error,

! LaTeX Error: No counter 'chapter' defined.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H return for immediate help.
...
l.22 \newfloat{algorithm}{tbp}{loa}[chapter]


Any advice on getting around this? I checked the layouts, and they're not 
introducing this.

I guess Richard's suggestion was:

do not do: viewpdflatex,

***instead**

do: fileexport pdflatex

That would seem to solve your problem.

You may even open a pdf viewer with file watching capabilities on the
exported file before you start working on it and you'd enjoy the same
advantages as working on a file residing temp directory.

In fact, now that I think of, why isn't this LyX's standard behavior (as it
is, e.g., in Kile)?

Cheers,

Stefano

svjour3 algorithm float broken in 2.0.3

[John Perry]

Hello

The svjour3 class used to work fine in Lyx 2.0, even with the algorithm float. 
I just upgraded to Lyx 2.0.3 on two different computers, and I get the error,

! LaTeX Error: No counter 'chapter' defined.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H return for immediate help.
...
l.22 \newfloat{algorithm}{tbp}{loa}[chapter]


Any advice on getting around this? I checked the layouts, and they're not 
introducing this.

I remember that in TeX, some settings can only be changed per paragraph. I
don't know whether this also holds for line spacing.

OTOH, the spacing also depends on on which place the size-changing
commands are issued (in relation to line wrapping or hard line breaks).

One option/workaround would be to re-set the linespacing after the change of
size in ERT.

I would export the paragraph to LaTeX and experiment.

If this does not lead to a solution, please post a minimal working example
for others to try.

buffer-view pdf2

[Anna Itkin]

Hello,

I am using LyX version 1.6 under Windows. 
When I want to view a pdf, I receive
no error message, but rather the status "buffer-view pdf2". 
The strange thing is that this problem occurs with only one specific file 
(which I did not have a problem viewing until today), all the other 
files can be viewed as pdf. The preferences are set correctly otherwise 
other documents would not be viewed as well.
I will greatly appreciate your help.

Kind regards,
Anna

Well, this does give you a space, but it doesn't conform to typesetting 
conventions,
because the text is treated as a bunch of variables. You can enter 
math-text mode by
hitting Ctrl-M, then type normally. The font choices are also availalbe

OK, then it looks as if there is a conversion failure. You can send me 
the file if you wish, and I'll have a look at it. Alternatively, you can

Coloured Sidebar to highlight text passage?

[Peter Baumgartner]

Hello LyX-Community,

Is there a LaTeX/TeX command or package to produce a text sidebar which
could be changed in colour and width? I would need this to highlight text
passages (e.g. Definitions) for a textbook.

At the moment the only way I can think of to produce a sidebar would be a
tabular environment. I wonder if there is no other possibility, a feature
where I could define a new paragraph style or a similar easy usage.

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Re: LyX 2.0.3

Not necessarily, for the former installer, I feel remembering that Üwe was 
writing to install straight away (being noted that you have been using 
already the Alt installer), but presently there is no recommendation so why 
I am asking.
Otherwise, I will uninstall and reinstall but uninstalling oblige you to 
download the bundle to reinstall MikTex

Customize Copier in LyX

[Xi Zhang]

I am writing something using LyX in Windows. 

I just want a simple funtion that every time I run pdfletex, the pdf file can 
be copied to the same folder in which the lyx file is. As these files will be 
sycronized by Dropbox, I can reat it on iPhone or iPad.

I know that this has been discribed in Customization.lyx as a simple example. 
However, I have no idea of how Python works and how to make photocopier.sh 
executable.

I don't have too much time to look into this and it will be highly appreciated 
if anyone can give me a simple script or compiled file to have this function.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Xi Zhang
