tex2lyx fails with ACM Transacton on Graphics sample

2014-01-20 Thread Matti Lehtonen 
Hi,

I tried to convert TOG sample (available at http://tog.acm.org/acm-tog.zip)
to LYX, but it fails with error message

 Cannot read layout file `'.
 Error reading `'
 (Check `acmtog')
 Check your installation and try Options/Reconfigure...
 Error: Could not read layout file for textclass acmtog.


It seems that tex2lyx expects a layout file to be present, but TOG class do
not define one.

Any advices for fixing this problem?

 Dear Stephan,

 Thanks for your quick response. What option do I provide lyx with in

 information in the README, INSTALL etc.,

 Sorry for being unclear.

 You have to install the developer packages - aka rpms - for
 the spell checker of your choice. Something like hunspell-devel-*
 for hunspell (I don't know the package name for RedHat and I don't
 know either if it exists).

 After doing so LyX detects it at configure time and will be build
 with hunspell support. This should be mentioned in config.log.

 There is no configure option.

 Until I do this, I cannot provide a path for Hunspell as the path
 section is greyed out, and I cannot select the Enchant engine.

 Hunspell is not Enchant. Hunspell path is for hunspell spell checker.

 I'd recommend using hunspell. I don't know if enchant is usable.

 Hi,

 you have to provide the developer packages of the spell checker of your
 choice at compile time (of LyX). In case it's enchant you have to configure
 enchant, in case it's hunspell you may provide the path for the dictionary
 files under preferences if they're not found automatically.

Re: Problem setting OutputFormat in layout

I am writing a layout for a class file, and attempting to make the
default output format DVI. However, I have encountered what I think is
a bug, and it has been reproduced by one other user:

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/154719/set-default-output-format-in-layout-in-lyx


This is not really a bug as the feature is not supposed to define the 
final format (pdf/dvi...), but the initial one (tex/sweave/...).


The default OutputFormat is latex which is generic, but I assume you 
could try to set it to dvilatex and create a converter from dvilatex 
to dvi (although this is not tested nor initially intended).


Actually, I think that this dvilatex format should exist by default, but 
this part of the code contains a lot of of hard-coding and changing 
anything can be risky.

Removal of page numbers from Nomenclature List

2014-01-20 Thread Luke Jones 
Hi
I'm trying to add a table of abbreviations to my Lyx written thesis.
I have done this by changing the name of nomenclature to abbreviations in the 
LAtex preamble.
Ideally I do not want the abbreviations to be cross referenced to their 
position in the thesis -
I just want to have a list of Abbreviations with the page number that they 
occur on.
Is this possible?
Many thanks
