RE: Converting from chm to Lyx
I don't know how much other things there are but they are compressed HTML files. Wikipedia gives quite good list of tools which can extract files from them. Rebuilding back to CHM might be harder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Compiled_HTML_Help Best regards, Hannu Vuolasaho > Subject: Re: Converting from chm to Lyx > To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org > From: gordon_coo...@kinect.co.nz > Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2015 07:46:44 +1300 > > Thanks for the replies.

Tool to graphically represent long packets
Hi! I'm writing protocol specification and I'm having hard time to find the info my document already. Even that is nothing new I think I have a solution for it. I want to put to my header bar which has boxes for header, target, payload, checksum etc. Next I want to "zoom" the part under the main boxes and have more detailed view of the current part. This could be generated from contents. Anyway. I'm not even close to that yet. Are there any good tools. I looked bitfields latex package and tikz spy. This system would be used in text. ight now I have rather ugly pictures. My idea is to make something like this: |header | payload | checksum| | \ | \ | \ |target | source | timestamp| |header | payload | checksum| / \ / \ |data | info | something | more | Best regards, Hannu Vuolasaho

In preamble:
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
\usepackage{lscape} If you want to turn the page on PDF too
\usepackage{pdflscape} And on page before your float ERT: \begin{landscape} and
after your float \end{landscape}
Does this help?

RE: [SOLVED] Changing captions and order in reference list
Hello!
I found solution for this problem. It might not be the prettiest one, but
changing citation delimiter and list of references number delimiter I added to
preamble:
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
\makeatletter % @ is now a letter
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
\def\bibleftdelim{/}
\def\bibrightdelim{/}
\def\@biblabel#1{\bibleftdelim #1\bibrightdelim}
\makeatother % @ is a symbol
That is from Tame the BeaST PDF file.
http://mirrors.ctan.org/info/bibtex/tamethebeast/ttb_en.pdf
However I wasn't able to get the cite working and after all I am using natbib
And from http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/natbib.pdfoneliner
ERT\setcitestyle{open={/},close={/}}
Which probably can be put to preamble somehow.

Changing captions and order in reference list
Hello everybody! I have on problem with reference list. I havenly five references. So this isn't that bad problem. It can be done also some ugly manual way. I want to get list as /1/ reference /2/ reference instead Lyx always generates [1] reference [2] reference So how that is changed? Another problem is that the appear in same order as in text and I want them in alphabetically ordered by last name. And the format is Last name, First name, Title, [doctype], URL, date of retrieval Is there any style that does this or what is the right way to do this? Best regards, Hannu Vuolasaho
RE: footer on all pages
Would the solution be easy as Document->Settings->modules Custom header/footerlines to the selected list. Without it fancy headers doesn't seem to work. Best regards, Hannu Vuolasaho
PDF appendix header and footer
Hi! I'm adding PDF appendix to one article without success. What I have been able to do so far: a) I have minipage and one pdf page as graphic. Headers and footers OK. b) I have all PDF pages nicely put each page on its own page No header or footers. I tried to scale pdf down, but no headers. c) I have all three. Import inside a minipage, have all pages stacked over each other on one page and headers and footers are showing beneath. Option a) is impossible as work to import each page separately would take too much time. Option b) looks bad. Option c) is unusable. The problem with that PDF is its margin. I'm unable to have fancyheaders and PDF file on same page. Now. How do I import pdf document as external material and have it look like it should be on these pages and doesn't look like someone printed also that and put it same pile with my article? Is this common problem or am I trying to do something stupid? best regards, Hannu Vuolasaho
KOMA report and localisation problem.
Hi! I checked the translation through. The localization_test.lyx file could be more better it had some more real life samples. Which again is problematic since lyx can't embed graphics. I can clearly see why no-one wanted to touch it :) There are thousand ways to say I'm drunk and few hundreds ways to describe snow in Finnish. But Finnish lacks all the fine grained differences of pictures. There are some special cases. Translating few words as best possible ways isn't that easy as they could be used different contexts. I'm not mathematician, just an software engineer so I wish these are quality translations :) 401 Translation fi 402 "Acknowledgement" "Kiitos" This translates thank you. It is OK if some some equation or something was given by someone else and then writer wants to give credit for that. If it is used as telling something is true then it fails. 403 "Algorithm" "Algoritmi" 404 "Assumption" "Oletus" Assumption: function is continuous and differentiable in the area where we are using it. Hopefully it is used like that. 405 "Axiom" "Aksiooma" 406 "Case" "Tapaus" 407 "Chart" "Kaavio" Like flow chart, pie chart. NOT as in "Madonna hit the top10 charts " 408 "Claim" "Väite" 409 "Conclusion" "Päätelmä" 410 "Condition" "Ehto" 411 "Conjecture" "Otaksuma" 412 "Corollary" "Seurauslause" 413 "Criterion" "Kriteeri" 414 "Definition" "Määritelmä" 415 "Example" "Esimerkki" 416 "Exercise" "Harjoitus" 417 "Fact" "Fakta" 418 "Graph" "Kuvaaja" This is for the graph of function. Or more like graphical representation of something. 419 "Lemma" "Lemma" 420 "List of Algorithms" "Algoritmien luettelo" 421 "List of Charts" "Kaavioiden luettelo" 422 "List of Graphs" "Kuvaajien luettelo" 423 "List of Schemes" "Kuvausten lettelo" 424 "List of Tableaux" "Taulujen luettelo" 425 "Notation" "Merkintätapa" 426 "Note" "Muistiinpano" 427 "Problem" "Ongelma" 428 "Proof" "Todistus" 429 "Property" "Ominaisuus" 430 "Proposition" "Väittämä" 431 "Question" "Kysymys" 432 "Remark" "Huomautus" 433 "Scheme" "Kuvaus" I wasn't able to figure out what is this in mathematical way. If http://graphviz.org/content/dot-language is scheme and http://s17.a-img.com/images/shots/UML_StateMachineDiagramStart.gif that state machine can go under scheme, I believe it's good translation. It's translated much like representation. It can hold something like: "The surface is created putting blue points in every possible point which are in same distance from point P" or picture of blue ball or equation of ball. Depending on context. 434 "Solution" "Ratkaisu" 435 "Summary" "Yhteenveto" 436 "Tableau" "Taulu" I translated this from something like truth table. Also works propositional tableau like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ad/Partially_built_tableau.svg/200px-Partially_built_tableau.svg.png Also family tree... However I think I got it right. 437 "Theorem" "Lause" 438 End Hopefully this helps. Hannu Vuolasaho
RE: KOMA report and localisation problem.
Just to inform a bit ERT magic \renewcommand{\lstlistingname}{Listaus} before
any listing does what I want it to do.
For now all my problems are solved. Thanks everyone.

RE: KOMA report and localisation problem.
Hi!
I added ticket.
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8115
Next starts to be more Latex question.
I tried to understand how babel works but I couldn't set up preamble so that
lstlistname or listname changes. Are there any tricks? I wouldn't want to
override systemfiles to get what I want since changes would be over written on
update.
In Lyx the listing is defined as
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
begin{lstlisting}[caption={Caption for listing}]
This is sample listing
\end{lstlisting}
An in
/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/listings/listings.sty\lst@UserCommand\lstlistingname{Listing}
Now. If I'm correct \lstlistingname always generates word Listing. Is there any
way to override that so it generates "Listaus", except writing the system wide
file?
Best regards,
Hannu Vuolasaho
KOMA report and localisation problem.
Hi! I'm writing KOMA report class document and it behaves weird. In Lyx I have Part N and in pdf I get part in Finnish as expected. This is acceptable even I was curious if it would translate. Now I have source code listing. The caption of source listing says in Finnish that it is listing (Listaus 1.2:) in Lyx. In pdf I get caption (Listing 1.2:) in English . It's translated wrong direction. It can be anything in lyx when I'm editing, but in output it should be correct. Is this easily fixable and where should I fix it? Document->preferences and listings has some options so it would be my guess but I have no idea how Lyx' localisation works. I just use it and get desirable output usually.

Including landscape lyx document to portrait document
Hi! I have two documents. Another is in landscape and main document is portrait format. Both have same paper size. How do I include the landscape document and how do I get the labels working from there? Or am I asking something impossible or is it just unholy union where is nothing good? I found that I can insert pdf and it looks quite nice. Except there are double page numbers and referencing labels doesn't work. Ayn ideas? Best regards, Hannu Vuolasaho
RE: Engineering student considering LyX for Thesis
Hi! I'm also writing my thesis with Lyx. My biggest problem is .doc template. If I open it on Libreoffice, OpenOffice or MS Office with different versions I get subtle changes in printout. For example vertical space before image might change little and lines length differ. Then there is the typesetting in Lyx. Lyx' fonts are generally more readable than Office programs due proper kerning. Now the problem comes. What is the right layout and how I reproduce it with Lyx. If there is trick please tell to list also. Also references are different. I never learned bibtext enough to give right style of reference list. Now I have page which is list of my references and then I cross-reference to them. It is also irritating that you can't cross reference to say Fig 1 without labeling it. Or have I missed something? And last thing. I'm not professional with Lyx and I still learn a lot with it. And problems that I mentionned might not be real problems. I haven't just found solutions yet. Best regards, Hannu Vuolasaho
Help me out of .doc
Hello! I made small edition to my final thesis in Word and now it looks terrible again. I want to get rid of it. I have more important things to do than keep document's layout in looking good. I have been playing with openoffice writer2latex and lyx for several hours without notable success. So could someone import this template doc http://edu3.tokem.fi/TIEDOSTOT/Tekniikka/Opinnaytetyon_malli_Versio_3_3_21_9_2010.doc to lyx and send it back to me if I ask nicely? That doc has three styles. Cover, beginning and the rest of it. Also appendices need one style more but I'll figure that out by myself when I get there. No header or footer and pagenumbers restart. I believe that's easy. It seems to be too big task for a newbie who just read trough some tutorials and FAQs. Results should be quite similiar so that when the document is printed (or PDFed) you can't say which one is from real tool and which is from MS Word. I believe after I have lyxfile to play, I can copy, paste and adapt to the rest of document. Or is this one of those things that I have to just live with and hate those who made computer "easy to use"? Thanks in advance, Hannu Vuolasaho
