 I alway do that. The problem is that i have some difficulties using the
 aling, alignat, split, multiline amsmath environments in lyx.
 On the cited pdf i get some examples on how to use them in latex, but the
 lyx implementation is still obscure to me.
 For example, how to define the alignat spacing and to define alignment
 points?

-- choose the equation type from math menu
-- change the number of columns also from math menu

No. In this case the problem is the eps-file itself:

Also when I convert it via Adobe Acrobat's Distiller, I get a rotated 
pdf-image that has the size A4. The size is the problem because the eps 
doesn't seem to have a border/bounding box. pdflatex doesn't know how to 
handle this so that you get different outputs.
(On my machine epstopdf sets the size to A4, ps2pdf doesn't set the

So you need to produce an eps with borders around the diagram.


this maybe a problem, because the eps file is only a
one-liner, there are wrong crlf's - 0A0A

eps2eps file.eps fileNew.eps can help here, it corrects this.

[Fwd: Towards a UK-TuG revival]

2005-11-21 Thread Herbert Voss



 Original Message 
Subject: Towards a UK-TuG revival
Date: 21 Nov 2005 10:59:44 -0800
From: Karl Berry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Organization: http://groups.google.com
Newsgroups: comp.text.tex

For any TeX users in the UK --

One of the r\^oles of TUG is to encourage and support
the formation of national and/or language-based user groups,
one of the oldest (if not /the/ oldest) of which is UK-TuG,
the UK TeX Users' Group.  As with other user groups, however,
the enthusiasm which surrounded UK-TuG's creation and which
characterised its activities for the first decade has now
begun to falter, to a point where some are beginning to ask
whether UK-TuG as a TeX User Group still has any r\^ole.

The present Committee, most of whom go back many years
in their association with UK-TuG, recognise that this
almost certainly results (at least in part) from the
ever-increasing age and length of service of its own
members, as well as from similar statistics for
UK-TuG membership as a whole, and the Committee is very
keen to try to bring about a revival of interest in
UK-TuG by encouraging UK TeX Users who are /not/
currently members of UK-TuG to join the Group and
(ideally) stand for membership of the Committee.

Although they (and we) recognise that this is exceptionally
short notice, the UK-TuG Committee have asked us to let
you know that the Annual General Meeting of UK-TuG
will take place at 14:00 GMT on Saturday next (Saturday
26th November) at 61 Victor Road, Kensal Green, London.
All UK TeX users are cordially invited to this meeting,
but recognising both that accommodation is very limited,
and that this is exceptionally short notice, the Committee
are more than willing to consider adjourning the meeting
if there is sufficient interest to justify such a step.

Further information on the AGM will be posted on
the UK-TuG web site :

 http://uk.tug.org/

s soon as it is available.  Please keep your eye in this
site, as we will not be sending any more mass mailings until
after the AGM.

All UK TeX users are therefore kindly requested to
communicate with the current UK-TuG Chairman (Jay HAMMOND :
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) and/or the
current UK-TuG Secretary (David OSBORNE :
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) to let them know of
their interest (or otherwise).  It would be very helpful
if e-mails could categorise interest (or otherwise) into
one of four categories :

1) Not really interested in UK-TuG or its activities/AGM
2) Potentially interested in UK-TuG, but cannot make the
AGM at such short notice; would consider attending
an AGM in (say) a month's time or so
3) Definitely interested, and will try to make the AGM
on Saturday next provided I can be guaranteed
a seat at the meeting !
4) Not only interested but also willing to serve on the Committee.

Do please add anything else that you feel might be useful
to the present Committee.  On behalf of the TUG Board and

[Fwd: Towards a UK-TuG revival]

For any TeX users in the UK --

One of the r\^oles of TUG is to encourage and support
the formation of national and/or language-based user groups,
one of the oldest (if not /the/ oldest) of which is UK-TuG,
the UK TeX Users' Group.  As with other user groups, however,
the enthusiasm which surrounded UK-TuG's creation and which
characterised its activities for the first decade has now
begun to falter, to a point where some are beginning to ask
whether UK-TuG as a TeX User Group still has any r\^ole.

The present Committee, most of whom go back many years
in their association with UK-TuG, recognise that this
almost certainly results (at least in part) from the
ever-increasing age and length of service of its own
members, as well as from similar statistics for
UK-TuG membership as a whole, and the Committee is very
keen to try to bring about a revival of interest in
UK-TuG by encouraging UK TeX Users who are /not/
currently members of UK-TuG to join the Group and
(ideally) stand for membership of the Committee.

Although they (and we) recognise that this is exceptionally
short notice, the UK-TuG Committee have asked us to let
you know that the Annual General Meeting of UK-TuG
will take place at 14:00 GMT on Saturday next (Saturday
26th November) at 61 Victor Road, Kensal Green, London.
All UK TeX users are cordially invited to this meeting,
but recognising both that accommodation is very limited,
and that this is exceptionally short notice, the Committee
are more than willing to consider adjourning the meeting
if there is sufficient interest to justify such a step.

Further information on the AGM will be posted on
the UK-TuG web site :

 http://uk.tug.org/

s soon as it is available.  Please keep your eye in this
site, as we will not be sending any more mass mailings until
after the AGM.

All UK TeX users are therefore kindly requested to
communicate with the current UK-TuG Chairman (Jay HAMMOND :
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) and/or the
current UK-TuG Secretary (David OSBORNE :
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) to let them know of
their interest (or otherwise).  It would be very helpful
if e-mails could categorise interest (or otherwise) into
one of four categories :

1) Not really interested in UK-TuG or its activities/AGM
2) Potentially interested in UK-TuG, but cannot make the
AGM at such short notice; would consider attending
an AGM in (say) a month's time or so
3) Definitely interested, and will try to make the AGM
on Saturday next provided I can be guaranteed
a seat at the meeting !
4) Not only interested but also willing to serve on the Committee.

Do please add anything else that you feel might be useful
to the present Committee.  On behalf of the TUG Board and

 I usually kludge it by using a matrix.  The only problem with that is that
 labels on the arrows need to be finagled to keep the arrow aligned (for a
 horizontal arrow, put a 3x1 submatrix in with the arrow in the center, the
 label on top, and a blank below).  This will be somewhat short of full

use psmatrix of the PSTricks package - http://PSTricks.tug.org

{Some text about unit 2 and 6}

this is not easy and LyX is not the right editor for this.
Attached a solution using the \ifcase macro for printing
only text for the units 1..20 (in the example only for 1,2,3

You can define things like
\def\unitI{ ... }
\def\unitII{ ... }

and then \unitI inside the case part for unit I which prints
the argument of unitI.

In Layout-Document-Packages, check the box to use the amsmath package. 
 Then insert the following in ERT in the text prior to each equation 
whose placement you want to change:


[EMAIL PROTECTED] to switch to left alignment;

[EMAIL PROTECTED] to switch to center alignment.

Be sure to include a terminal space in the ERT so that \makeatother 
doesn't run into whatever comes next.


using the flalign environment instead of align does
the trick without ERT

Hi all,

Is it possible to prevent justified paragraphs from having words broken

Preventing hyphenation will confuse the TeX paragraph algorithm and produce
ugly results. You would be better with OpenOffice or MsWord.


huh?? TeX will never be confused ... and there is absolutely no need
for OO or MS


You can try it by putting in ERT at the top of your document
\begin{hyphenrules}{nohyphenation}


easier:
-- choose an unknown language from the LyX menu, or
-- write into the preamble \usepackahe[none]{hyphenat} or
-- write into the preamble
   \hyphenpenalty=1
   \exhyphenpenalty=1\relax
