Re: LyX 1.6.4.1 and Snow Leopard

 I hope you're not holding your breath. We really don't have any LyX
 developers on Mac, and we'd welcome anyone with expertise who could
 help out here. (I'm able to package up the binaries, but that's far
 from being a developer.)


What exactly would a LyX developer on Mac need to know? I'm just curious.

Conversion error message -- no PDF output

[Christian Liesen]

Hi,

I have a LyX document that compiled just fine three days ago (pdflatex), but
now I keep getting an error message with the description:

basic_filebuf::_M_convert_to_external conversion error
and no PDF output is produced. Only minor changes have been made since the
last printing. I can not locate the problem. I deleted bits of my document,
but no matter how much I remove, I keep getting the same error message. Any
ideas what else I could try?

I'm on LyX 1.6.4.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Many thanks,

[SOLVED] Conversion error message -- no PDF output

[Christian Liesen]

Hi,
following Richard's hint -- LaTeX export and then manually running latex --
I was able to see that all links to embedded objects were incomplete. No
idea what caused this, though ...

After a bit of experimenting, I moved my LyX file to the LyX working
directory, along with all source files for embedded objects (PDF, PNG and so
on), double checked they were properly linked and voila, the PDF output was
produced.

I'm still puzzled as to why a working LyX document would all of a sudden
refuse to compile. It was compiling alright three days ago, I only corrected
some typos, and now all the object links were broken. Weird.

Thanks, rh,
-- Christian

Does LaTeX export work? I'm guessing maybe not. And if not, it's a LyX
problem, somewhere. If so, then try running latex manually on the
exported file.

Formatting all hyperlinks with a TT-font

[Christian Liesen]

Hi LyX users,

I would like to make all hyperlinks in my report more distinguishable  
by formatting them in a typewriter font (\ttfamily). How do I do that?  
I could't find anything about it in the hyperref-documentation, the  
wiki or this list's archives.


I'm on LyX 1.6.3 for Mac OS X. My document uses the report (KOMA- 
script) class and my preamble reads as follows:


\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{ellipsis}
\usepackage{fixltx2e}

\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{%
a4paper,
colorlinks=true,
citecolor=black,
urlcolor=cyan,
pdftitle={foo},
pdfauthor={foo},
pdfkeywords={foo},
pdfcreator={LyX 1.6.3 with pdfTeX},
pdfdisplaydoctitle=true
}


I would appreciate any help on how to accomplish this.

Re: How to install new packages to Lyx?

[Christian Liesen]

Hi,


 sorry for insisting but i tried searching with google how to enter these
 characters and i came accross hep package again..i don't
 understand..


You will need to install the hep package just as you would with any
additional TeX package on your system, i.e. by downloading it from CTAN,
processing it with latex and putting the results in your texmf-folder. See
http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/systems/tex/new-packages.html and also
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Packages/Installing_Extra_Packages for
instructions. It may look intimidating at first, but it's really not that
hard.

Once installed, you need to reconfigure LyX and restart it -- otherwise LyX
will not know that there's a new package around.

You can then call the package in your document's preamble with
\usepackage{hep} or whatever's its name. Then, and only then, you can make
use of ERT to produce the characters you want.


 what is ERT?what exactly do i have to type in math mode in
 order to get the slashed characters??


ERT is explained in the LyX wiki (and many other very useful things are as
well), see http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/ERT. The basic idea is that you can enter
raw LaTeX-code anywhere in your document, an option that does come in handy
from time to time.

For example, your hep package may allow for something like, say, \coolsymbol
as a raw LaTeX-command in order to produce, well -- some cool symbol in the
PDF output. Simply enter \coolsymbol in ERT in your LyX document where you
want it (as explained by Nikos a couple minutes ago) to get the same result.

Hope this helps,

not correctly specify the paths to TeX Live 2008 in my /usr folder.


FYI, my path prefix entry reads:

sbin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/

Your student can check her TeX installation paths by choosing Finder --

Using LyX, even a very simple file, this student cannot produce PDF or

I made a comparison with LyX on my Ubuntu installation and I cannot
detect any problem, but non even the PDF and DVI icons are shown

Re: Lyx and R some help appreciated : not Sweave

Graham,

thanks for your reply. I have to admit that I was first sceptical  
about Sweave, too. But it really works fine.


Considerung your problem -- if it isn't solved yet --, have you tried  
to put the R verbatim text into a minipage? You would do Insert --  
Box (Minipage) and paste your code there. Might be worth a shot.

\cleardoublepage in ERT should do the trick. If not, did you try  
\clearpage{\pagestyle{empty} \cleardoublepage}?

Re: Single Author, Single Year, Multiple Articles

[Christian Liesen]

Hi,

could you briefly explain why you would want the citation to show up  
as a/b although you seem to include only a single reference in your  
text? After all, a unique letter would be required only if you had two  
or more citations in your article that would otherwise look the same  
when using the author-date style.


In other words, a cite-key is one thing, a formatted citation is  
something else.


Cheers,
Christian

Hi Norbert,

Re: How to change pdf viewer?

Re: watching dvi/pdf under Mac

Hi,


Just another stupid question: how do I call it
from LyX? I tried to change the Viewer field in Preferences/File
Formats/pdflatex to skim but that doesn't seem to work. Do I need  
to add

any command options?


that is by no means a stupid question, and besides, you're almost  
there: Go to Preferences -- File Formats -- PDF (pdflatex) and enter  
open -a skim in the Viewer field (you may replace skim with  
whatever application you want to open PDFs with).


You can also do that for, say, DVI, because as you correctly observed:


I just found that Skim itself opens dvi's.

Re: Help with bulleted items with in list

[Christian Liesen]

Hi,

you need to nest the bulleted list into the LyX List. The M-Return won't 
work, because LyX will then of course change the entire paragraph to 
itemise -- just as you experienced.


Instead, make the sentences that you want to appear bulleted an itemised 
list as usual, then click the Increase depth icon or choose Edit -- 
Increase List Depth. That will do the trick.


Attached is your file with this change applied to your first unit of

Natbib numerical citations with links in PDF

[Christian Liesen]

Hi,

does anyone know how to make citations appear as clickable links in the

I'm using the Natbib numerical style with pdflatex and want something like

... the moon is made of cheese [1] ...

to appear in the body text with the citation [1] being clickable and 
refering to the bibliography entry, say,


[1] Brie 1989: My visit to the moon. Camembert Press.


I tried to find something about this in in the Wiki and this list's 
archives, but to no avail.

Re: Natbib numerical citations with links in PDF

Indeed,

It's enough to put \usepackage{hyperref} in the preamble.

and if you wish to add color, for example:

yields nice results.

Does restarting LyX help?


You mean changing the Zoom% setting, and then restarting to see if it 
takes effect: yes, that works -- both in normal text and in math 
text/previews, as well as zooming both bigger and smaller.

Re: Difference between \parskip and \parsep ?

[Christian Liesen]

Hi Steve,
What I've come up with so far is that \parsep operates only within lists, 
while \parskip operates only outside of lists. 
Yes I think that's exactly it. \parskip refers to the spacing between 
paragraphs, \parsep to the spacing in lists.

What's happening is that Blah (the title) is being orphaned on the

Re: Section orphans

[Christian Liesen]

... well yes, LyX handles these commands well. I was wondering if there 
were optional commands to be called with the verse package that could 
solve your problem.


But maybe I did not even get the problem? You say the poem's title is 
orphaned, so I suppose there's other text, too. Then why not simply 
insert a page break before the poem's title?

Re: Section orphans

Yes it should, but I continue to experience problems with widows and 
orphans, too. I think that in many cases manually fine-tuning the 
document is inevitable.


Tweaking the layout is always the very last thing I do to a document 
once the content is settled. Then -- if at all necessary -- I start 
thinking about type area calculation, page margins, club- and 
widowpenalty and the like.


From what I've read about widows and orphans this is not at all LyX's 
fault but something that many TeX and LaTeX users experience. I have to 
admit that I was disappointed when I started using LyX and found widows 
and orphans in my documents.


But I learned how to get rid of them -- preventing most of them to occur 
and wiping out whatever few remained. Try this with a well-known word 
processor and a 300+ pages book and you're in for a lot of alcohol abuse.


So it's unlovely, but it's no drama. :-)

I thought of that, and of course it works, but I wanted Lyx to handle
the odd case of orphaned sections automatically. I go back and forth,
editing this and that and after a while pagebreaks become a problem.

It's a solution, but it's not ideal -- and Lyx *should* be handling
sections properly. No?

Re: Verse margin

[Christian Liesen]

Two suggestions:

(1) Try to put the verse in a minipage (Box), then center the box or use 
an Hfill before it.


(2) Only if that fails, try something like

\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}
\begin{picture}(width, height)
\put(x_coord,y_coord){\makebox(x_dim,y_dim)[position]{My verse.}}
\end{picture}

in ERT and replace the measures with useful numbers. position refers 
to the text's position in the box and can be l,r,b and so on. For 
example rb will give you text that is aligned with the right and bottom 
side of the makebox.


I'm not sure if that works with \verse, though.

I'm not sure what class is the best for setting verse. Memoir seems to

Ideally, I want:
1. Poems and titles (which appear in toc) centered on page, left
aligned to a set margin.
2. The option to center-align some poems (so they are symetrical) -
but still central to poems above and below it.
3. The option to stagger lines (using hspace maybe) for interesting layouts.

Please give me a hand. I am thinking that OpenOffice might be the way

Re: Center wide float across the page into both margins

[Christian Liesen]

Hi,

if the file is inside a float, you can mark the float or the image and 
then choose Edit -- Paragraph Settings to set the alignment to Centered.


Alternatively, you might consider to put the file in a \resizebox 
similar to the steps described here: 
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Tables#toc17. This will not cut off the margins 
but scale the image or table according to your specifications.


Hope this helps,

aspell umlaut problems after updating to LyX 1.5 (Mac)

[Christian Liesen]

Hi,

sorry to ask again, but I'm STILL experiencing weird behaviour of aspell 
after updating from LyX 1.4.4 to 1.5.1 (Intel Mac).


aspell starts working but highlights all kinds of words it should surely
know, like möglich, für, März or Ärmel in German.

All these words contain Umlauts. Maybe aspell's notifications have to do 
with LyX now using UTF-8 encoding?


I tried this:

(1) I installed aspell and all dictionarys again and reconfigured LyX, 
as described in the Wiki (http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/MacSpelling), but to 
no avail.


(2) I also tried cocoAspell, but the behaviour is the same.

(3) Moreover, I tried to specify several alternative languages in LyX's 
preferences, since I keep getting the error message that ngerman can 
not be found. But swiss, deutsch, german, de_CH.multi or whatever all 
yield the same results.


I never had this problem while still on LyX 1.4.4 (where I had specified 
swiss as alternative language).


Does anyone know how to tackle this? I can't find a solution in the
Wiki or this list's archive.

Many thanks,

I checked my aspell installation and made sure that the path is correct:

/usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60/swiss in the LyX Preferences -- Language 
Settings -- Spellchecker -- Alternative Language field


Spelling in both document and LyX Preferences is set to German (new 
spelling). This setup worked fine before ...


Does anyone know how to tackle this? I couldn't find a solution in the 
Wiki or this list's archive.


Many thanks,
