If you could create minimal examples for each of them and file bugs on trac, that would be great. In general, please make backups before importing to 2.1.

I start off with a frame environment and put in a title. I'd now expect to hit ret to put text into the frame. ret is disabled. Because you are inside the frame title argument. If I move over a space with left -, now I'm outside title and hit ret. OK. I seem to be inserting text in the frame. Now I want to try out block. I choose 'block'. It seems this block is now on a new frame - not inside the current frame. I don't see how to put the block in the current frame. Edit Increase List Depth or whatever shortcut this is on your box (Alt+Shift+Arrow right here). I suggest you read the new beamer manual Joon already pointed to. I agree that the UI changes are confusing in the beginning. Note that we tried to keep the UI changes as minimal as possible. However, the changes were necessary to fix many beamer bugs and restrictions caused by an ugly LaTeX hack that was only there to make the old UI possible. Jürgen

My ideal solution to this conditional compilation would be to simply define a variable within the LyX file and have that work. I haven't been able to do that. Uglier solutions, which I haven't tried yet, would be to modify the layout with AWK just before the compilation, or run the LaTeX command like: latex \edef\stevelitt{$1}\input{myfile.latex} Something I *haven't* been able to get to work is to put the conditional code inside a command and just call the command from the LyX LaTeX preamble. The conditional code gets arguments like #1 very confused when it's placed inside a command. I think in that case you may have to use ##1 or something, but I'd have to see the actual command. Richard

That's why I tried the conditional compile in the first place, but we all know that didn't work because it comes earlier than LyX can set a var. So I moved the \renewcommands outside of the subroutine, and assigned them to otherwise meaningless commands \smark and \cmark, which can then be assigned to \sectionmark and \chaptermark *inside the enclosing command*. So the solution looks like this: == \newcommand{\cmark}[1]{\markboth{\MakeUppercase{\slshape\chaptername{}\thechapter: #1}}{}} \newcommand{\smark}[1]{\markright{\MakeUppercase{\slshape\thesection : #1}}} \newcommand{\setheader}[1]{% \let\chaptermark\cmark \let\sectionmark\smark \fancyhf{} \fancyhf[OLH]{\rightmark} \fancyhf[ERH]{\leftmark} \fancyhf[ORH,ELH]{\thepage} } == So it sets \cmark and \smark regardless, but those are *used* only if the \setheader command is run.

If you could create minimal examples for each of them and file bugs on trac, that would be great. In general, please make backups before importing to 2.1.

Edit > Increase List Depth or whatever shortcut this is on your box (Alt+Shift+Arrow right here). I suggest you read the new beamer manual Joon already pointed to. I agree that the UI changes are confusing in the beginning. Note that we tried to keep the UI changes as minimal as possible. However, the changes were necessary to fix many beamer bugs and restrictions caused by an ugly LaTeX hack that was only there to make the old UI possible. Jürgen
Re: How to do conditional compilation from LyX?

I suspect the reason is that LyX places the code from the layout file earlier in the resultant LaTeX file than the LyX document preamble, so \stevelitt is always undefined *when the conditionally compiled code is encountered*. Yes, that is correct. Try wrapping the conditional code in \AtBeginDocument to defer its execution. My ideal solution to this conditional compilation would be to simply define a variable within the LyX file and have that work. I haven't been able to do that. Uglier solutions, which I haven't tried yet, would be to modify the layout with AWK just before the compilation, or run the LaTeX command like: latex "\edef\stevelitt{$1}\input{myfile.latex}" Something I *haven't* been able to get to work is to put the conditional code inside a command and just call the command from the LyX LaTeX preamble. The conditional code gets arguments like #1 very confused when it's placed inside a command. I think in that case you may have to use ##1 or something, but I'd have to see the actual command. Richard

That makes *perfect* sense but doesn't work, because when you wrap the \renewcommand commands within another command, the #1's involved change from a prototype to a literal -- #1 of the enclosing command. That's why I tried the conditional compile in the first place, but we all know that didn't work because it comes earlier than LyX can set a var. So I moved the \renewcommands outside of the subroutine, and assigned them to otherwise meaningless commands \smark and \cmark, which can then be assigned to \sectionmark and \chaptermark *inside the enclosing command*. So the solution looks like this: == \newcommand{\cmark}[1]{\markboth{\MakeUppercase{\slshape\chaptername{}\thechapter: #1}}{}} \newcommand{\smark}[1]{\markright{\MakeUppercase{\slshape\thesection : #1}}} \newcommand{\setheader}[1]{% \let\chaptermark\cmark \let\sectionmark\smark \fancyhf{} \fancyhf[OLH]{\rightmark} \fancyhf[ERH]{\leftmark} \fancyhf[ORH,ELH]{\thepage} } == So it sets \cmark and \smark regardless, but those are *used* only if the \setheader command is run. Pretty cool, huh? Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt* http://www.troubleshooters.com/ Troubleshooting Training * Human Performance
