SV: not a readeable lyx

[Ingar Pareliussen]

The recovery program seem to been unsuccessful. Seems to be random noise, and 
bits of pdf files.

I guess you could try a program like dd and make a textfile of the flash drive, 
as the lyx files are usually plain text files. Then search after LYX and if you 
found something like:
#LyX 2.1 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/
you would have the start of the file, and then just copy until you find 
\end_document
 and past it into a new -lyx file and try open it with lyx. It might save some 
of the file at least. The bib files are harder, you could search for something 
like @book, I guess.

RE: indexing in 2.1

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi

I have solved the problem, but I think there probably is a bug in LyX 2.1. The 
answer was to restart lyx (this is important or else xindy will fail). open the 
LyX file and chose texindy and add -L norwegian in the option field. This made 
lyx call texindy with the correct language. There seem to be something going on 
with the encoding as well... 

This with texindy and -L norwegian

Hi
 
The question is, since your document setting had Standard for the index 
processor, 
which setting you have in Tools  Preferences  Output  LaTeX. Maybe this 
settings 
changed since you used index last time.

I do not know what it was in earlier versions of LyX, I have never changed it, 
now it says texindy and no extra options.

indexing in 2.1

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi

I have some problems to get indexing to work in LyX 2.1. The attached lyx file 
should generate the same list as presented (in the same order) in Norwegian, 
however, it seem to be sorted in english in the index. It has been a couple of 
months since I last tried to index somthing, but then it worked flawessly out 
of the box :).

Am I missing something? I see there is a new option field in the 
document-setting but putting -L norwegian for xindy, as a test, gave me no 
index :)

I am on Linux and texlive 2013.

enhancment request for tex2lyx

[Ingar Pareliussen]

When importing norwegian texts latex encoded special charcter get 
translated.{\aa} - {å} and [\o} - {ø} etc. However, the { and } are imported 
as ERT and makes the text very hard to read.

Could tex2lyx removed the extra {}  when importing?

Ingar

SV: enhancment request for tex2lyx

[Ingar Pareliussen]

I am not sure how to do this reliably. I do not see why one could use
the markup you describe, except maybe in bibliography. The problem is
that it is never possible to assume safely that a macro does not change
its environment (think {\bf}).

Hm: I'm probably missing something here. :)

I thought that  tex2lyx translated these macros away from macros to 
char-encodings, and thus is should be, in these cases, safe to remove 
the braces as part of the conversion. 

However, one could argue that the writer2latex is doing it wrong as you 
probably should write \ae{} instead  of {\ae}. (tex2lyx does remove 
the {} after \ae{}, but I see how that is more safe to remove) 

Sadly this is not only a problem in the bibliography as we use these characters
a lot. :)

SV: Need some help figuring out LyX

[Ingar Pareliussen]

I think you'll never be satisfied with LyX if you try to shoehorn LyX into 
something it is not, a LaTeX-editor.

You are right that most what is written about LyX is not written for people 
coming from LaTeX, this might be a shortcoming from the LyX community. But I 
guess the most important is that understand that LyX is not meant to write 
LaTeX, but documents. For one coming from LaTeX  the biggest change moving to 
LyX would be the removal of the LaTeX markup from the document. The reason of 
removing the markup is to read and write the text more quickly, even math. If 
you find writing the markup and reading/writing the document a non-issue you 
should get a LaTeX editor, there are plenty. Even online: 
https://www.writelatex.com/

However, if you want to try LyX as a document processor here is some thought 
from your experience:

The preamble is a bit tucked away, but usually you only change it initially, 
when you have set it up you make a template of the document and use that when 
you start a new document.

If you have a lot of beamer macroes there is several ways to integrate those 
into LyX. you could make a layout-file that magically incorporates the macros 
into the preamble and give you the macros along with the rest of the 
beamermacros in the gui. Or you could make a template and add the macros in the 
preamble and use ERT to access it (however, as you remarked this will stand out 
from the rest of the document, as it is only meant as a last resort), or you 
could add them as local styles connected to the document, but integrated into 
the menus. What to chose is down to the type of macros, I guess. It is all 
about the best way of hiding the markup away.

Hi

Indexes is often very fragile, and the pleading paper template are quite crude. 
The problem is that an index pages are very different to a normal page (two 
columns etc). However, by moving the numbering to after the index I were able 
to get it working.

If you need the numbering on the index pages as well, it would be more 
tricky... And you probably either need to find another way, or ask someone with 
more 
LaTeX-index knowledge than me.

I gather my request is a difficult one.  I have tried myself but don't
know latex well enough.  Perhaps will figure it out in a couple of
months, but would like the ability to do both indexes and pleading paper
in the same document now.

Not difficult, just a bit tedious. I have made a small effort to convert the 
latex example, and then I cleaned it up to make it more like your pdf. I hope 
this works for you :)

You have to change some bits in the LaTeX preamble to get the correct name and 
phone numbers and stuff :)

Anyways if you have some question or some need for tweaks just ask. Remember 
that you will need to have the LaTeX package quoting to make it work.

I never do these things for money, but if you want to do a donation to LyX I 
know those are always welcome, but by no means necessary. In a couple of months 
I am certain you can help answering questions on the list and that is what this 
list is all about, helping each other.

changing the default image editor away from GIMP

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi

After the Gimp crew desided to change its userbase away from casual changing 
pictures to more powerusers in gimp 2.8, gimp has become a pain in the *** to 
use with LyX.
(for more info 
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list/2012-May/msg9.html)

I think it is time to look for an alternative. For me showfoto has turned out 
fine, however i guess it should be an alternative that are can be used in 
windows and osx as well.

SV: changing the default image editor away from GIMP

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi

What do you use Gimp for? I don't think it's being used for any
converters. Do you mean as an editor/viewer for images that you
insert? This can be changed to anything you want by going to Tools 
Preferences  File Formats  Editor/Viewer

I know :), I have done this on my computers, however, I think it is time
to change the defaults as gimp no longer is suitable as the default image 
editor/viewer.

(and it is a pain when you have 3 computers and have to change for each image 
format :) )

Re: Problem compiling document to Postscript

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Just a thought: could it be that your /tmp directory almost full? If lyx does 
not have enough space to copy and convert all the image files in the tmp 
directory strange things may happen.

Subject: Problem compiling document to Postscript
Date: Wed, May 30, 2012 09:30



I managed to get a postscript file once from Kubuntu, but then I tried again 
LyX refused. I have converted images to .eps and sometimes back to jpg when the 
log states that it stopped at those images and still no luck converting to 
postscript.

In Windows I have done the conversion several times without any problems. I am 
beginning to suspect that it is a bug in the software handling the process or 
in how memory is handled by the different systems. The file is rather big with 
many big images so perhaps this is the problem.

I must be content with the postscript file made in Windows and I don't think 
that I am able to solve the problem on Kubuntu. As I said it is very strange 
since I can convert other very similar big manuscripts that also contain a lot 
of jpg images.

Surely there is a way to do this.

hi

I'm working on a presentation, and I'd like to have a footer with a
copyright notice and page number (if there's room).

You need to adjust the outer theme of the beamer presentation.

You might almost get what you want by adding

\useoutertheme[footline=authorinstitute]{miniframes}

to the preamble

To get pagenumbers I think you need to make your own outertheme.
You could copy and rename the miniframes and add
  \insertpagenumber 

to the theme. For more info read the beamerguide where all this is 
explained, however, with 250 pages it is a bit daunting :).

SV: lyx latex-import problem

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi


Please file a bug report if the file is not secret (or if you can easily
create a non-secret one).

For the time it is secret :), but in a couple of weeks it would not be so I'll
have a look at it then.

Yes. You have two options:

1) Add the line

\sindex[]{translate} %splitidx.sty
to the file lib/syntax.default in your LyX installation, and import the file
Zagain. This should produce correct ERT.

I will try this when the next iteration of abstracts are ready.


2) Get the current BRANCH_2_0_X from svn or wait for 2.0.4. This will create
real index insets for \sindex.

or this if the first does not work :)

lyx latex-import problem

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi

I have a couple of hundred abstracts from a web form that 
produces simple LaTeX files. I have cat'ed them into one big LaTeX file
and imported it to LyX. This works for the most part, but I have 
problem with \sindex that needs a option i [index_name] which is not 
recognized by LyX and therefor not put into ERT.

I tried to get search replace it, but when LyX  search within ERT it uses all 
memory and even if it seems to do the right thing it has been working on 
the file for a couple of hours... (file is only 300k and the box has 4G of ram,
so something seems to be amiss)

Is there some advice on how to do this more efficient? I could do it
manually, but automated is better :)

SV: Many huge pictures - Memory problems?

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi
Without the file it is difficult to know precisely what is going on. I 
would say that I do not think it is likely that it is a memory problem, 
at least my experience is that lyx and latex work fine producing books 
with many hundreds of images (tif in the 100MB range), making 
pdfs of 10GBs... :).  But then again, I might have been lucky :)

(./000-sdl-buch.out
! Undefined control sequence.
l.47 \BOOKM

This is Latex telling you that you have a command \BOOKM 
that it does not know. 

3. To compile just a part but to tell LyX it should include counter and
references results in the same error.

I guess this is a good hint. My money would be on that in one of your
references have a included something you shouldn't. :) And then again
this should have been triggered in draft mode as well... Could it be 
something in your file-names or file paths? 

And then again it might me something else, as I said it is difficult
to know without your file. And then I guess you should try, as always,
reproducing the error with the smallest possible file.

Also you could try exporting to latex and run it through latex 
manually, this might give you some more information
as well...

 Hello!
 
 I'm trying to insert a footnote in a longtable.
 
 The embedded objects manual as well as several sources on the web tell
 me this should not be a problem, or that's how I read them.
 But when I do it, the little number shows up but the footnote text
 doesn't. (Footnotes outside the table work fine, though!)

You can not put a footnote in the repeated (first)header in a longtable.
If you do LateX would have to put one at each page, and instead removes
the whole thing. 

If you place the footnote elsewhere in the table it works.

Maybe you could use some of the suggestion on these pages to
make things work for you, I have not tried :).

You can not put a footnote in the repeated (first)header in a longtable.
If you do LateX would have to put one at each page, and instead removes
the whole thing. 

If you place the footnote elsewhere in the table it works.

Maybe you could use some of the suggestion on these pages to
make things work for you, I have not tried :).

SV: indexes in texindy and utf8

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi

I have solved my problem, and learned somethings along the way, as it often 
goes :). (I use LyX 2.0.1 for Linux, btw)

To help others with indexes in Lyx. It seems that indexes are very fragile, 
especially if they are placed in other environments than standard, and one 
should also be aware that marking the insets with emphasis could break indexes. 
emphasis inside the insets are fine, it seems.

Another stumbling block is that there are two places to put the options for the 
texindy, one in the lyx-setup and one in the document-setup. I did not have 
them in the document and thus the language option was not passed on to texindy.

I also learned that texindy uses LIRC format internally even if the TeX-file is 
in UTF8 when pdflatex is used. And thus only the language option needs to be 
passed along (-L norwegian). In XeTeX texindy uses utf8 and may need -C utf8 in 
addition but I have not tested this...

I hope this will be helpful for someone :).

indexes in texindy and utf8

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi
I make multiple indexes with the texindy, to get correct Norwegian sorting  I 
use utf8 in lyx and run the texindy with the commands: 
-L norwegian -C utf8  -M lang/norwegian/utf8.xdy
from lyx.

But this does not work. In the .tex file exported from lyx i get:
\sindex[nor]{Åkerkål}

and then somthing goes wrong for 
in the idx file you find a encoding translation:
\indexentry{\r Akerk\r al|hyperpage}{12}

and in the .idx file it is put under A instead of Å

  \lettergroup{A}
  \item \r Akerk\r al, \hyperpage{12}

Does anyone encountered this problem  and found a soulution?

 Hi

writing a document, I encounter problems with unusual spaces introduced after 
lowercase letters. Is there any solution to supress these spaces ? 

Difficult without the LyX file. I guess there could be several reasons. The 
second may be caused by justified text, you can check this by trying by 
changing it to left-justified. If it is still there it is not the justified 
text inserting extra space. 

The first one, and maybe the second one, is probably caused by an extra space 
that should be easy to remove. Delete the lowered text, making sure that the 
punctuation is at the end of the word, and insert the lowered m again without 
touching the spacebar. This should not make any extra space. If they are still 
there we need a small example lyxfile that demonstrates the behavior :).

Re: How to Split Boxes when Using Multicolumns?

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi

Hi all,
I am working on a document, which uses multicolumns. I am also using several 
boxes (Minipage,
Simple frame) as well. The problem is: everytime a box -which is near to the 
end of a column-
doesn't fit that column, where it has to be, Lyx (v.2.0.0 on macintosh) 
automatically transfers
it to the next column and leaves the previous column with a huge gap. Is there 
any way to
prevent this by splitting the frames?

From the LyX help:
LYX’s detailed Figure, Table, Floats,
Notes, Boxes and External Material
manual

5.2.3
 When you use the decoration simple rectangular frame and no inner box, you can
allow page breaks within a box. Note that then, unlike other framed boxes, the
frame always uses the whole column width, the box is set as its own paragraph, 
and
\fboxrule and \fboxsep have no effect on this box type. The frame line thickness
has the size of \FrameRule.

hi

In https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/502901/haskell.pdf can anyone tell which
font they might be using especially for code examples?

The pdf says that it uses:
Computer Modern roman
Pallatino roman
Nimbus Sans
Bera Sans Mono

I would guess the last is used for the code.

The tufte class title and author name is slanted. How to get those upright?

Have you tried to use emphasis or the text style dialog. Worked for me in my 
test of tufte book...

There are many ways to do this, but I suggest that you use chapter* and format 
the linebreaks (CTRL+ENTER) where you want them and then i ERT add just after 
chapter* add:
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{This a long text with the name of the Chapter}

SV: unwanted blank page

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi 

I am adding som images (not in floats) to my appendix on a report I am 
writing, 
and suddenly there is a blank page. Have been trying to find
out why, but I just can't. 

The subsection just jumps over a whole page :S

Probably one of the pictures are to large for page, even if it does not 
look that way. Try to reduce the size of the images. 

It might also be  some other issues. One might be that LaTeX does not know 
where the pagebreak should go if there is to little text. Try insert a 
Document-formatting-clearpage 
where you want a page break.

If this does not work we would need the LaTeX-log :)

Hi Marit,

Usually the article-class should  have page-numbering on all pages, so probably 
something has been changed from the standard, which might make it difficult to 
know exactly what is wrong. However, the most probably is that 
Document-Settings...-Page-Layout-Headings-Style is somthing other than 
Standard
If it is set to Standard try fancy.

If this does not fix it, you have to send us a copy of your document, you can 
remove all text, but leave all markup and code (we call it ERT on the list :)
