I do the same for Fedora, although I am not the person packaging LyX. Rex

This is done at installation time, or else the script would need several
privileges.
Reading the rpm spec file I see there this bit:
%post
...
cd %{_datadir}/lyx && ./configure > /dev/null 2>&1 ||:
If you read share/lyx/configure you will see that this is the script
responsible for generating LaTeXConfig.lyx from LaTeXConfig.lyx.in
So like in the rpm case you can do it at installation time. FWIW it is the
original purpose of the script.

I have finally succeeded with 1.4.2svn
I have inserted two lines with one word and pressed enter to get a third
(empty) line.
While in the last empty line I pressed Ctrl-Shift-Left and... I got a crash.

Follows attached. The culprit here seems to be the empty line. I have been
working with lyx daily and I never noticed this because I do not usually do
this on an empty line.

As far as I understand what you want is \mathrm{ this will create a box for
roman text (normal text) inside math.
With my binding Alt+m m works as well (it does the same), notice that Alt
is only pressed for the first m. The right binding is Meta+m m (but in my

If you referring to linuxdoc (sgmltools 1) my advice is to use docbook, all the work has ended there long time ago (1999 IIRC).

I am sorry for the out of topic here. Note that it is unfair to compare rpm with apt/dpkg. Actually I used to manage rpms with apt. Referring only to debian and fedora here as the same applies to other distributions we are dealing on three levels here: package - rpm or deb package manager - yum or apt distribution- fedora or debian We need to distribution level to define common policies that make it easy to interoperate between different packages. That is what is taking time to define in Extras and it succeeded so that now Core is following the policies established in Extras. What people refer as the "rpm hell" was the absence of a policy so that packages could interoperate. It is not enough to have a tongue, we need to speak the same language so that communication happens. ;-) -- José Abílio

It is not easy to explain, some of the reasons are historical, and the border between Core and Extras is becoming blurred (and this is good). The goal for upcoming versions is for the Extras to be included in the installation process. That will mean a support for installing either from the network or from supplementary cd's or dvd's.

Those are called 1.4.1, 1.4.2, ... I am not joking. :-) Right now we are working in two different branches, basically what will become 1.5.0 (trunk) and 1.4.x (what soon will become 1.4.1, and then 1.4.2 and so on). Our purpose is that 1.4.x branch will be always stable. So that is in a sense what you are looking for. The instructions to use svn are here: http://www.lyx.org/devel/cvs.php (I know we did not change the name so it is confusing) :-) The relevant part is: The main development in LyX is done in SVN branches, this is done to ensure the stability of the main branch (HEAD). If you are interested in helping develop or test work on these branches, you can check out a copy with a command like svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_4_X lyx-1.4.x This is how to get the stable branch. We expect this code to be stable all the time (we make mistakes as well). As trust this code. In your case, since you had problems with some bugs in 1.4.0 this is the place to search. For the devel version the only moment when we put tags there is when we are approaching a stable release. Usually those are called pre1, pre2, ... Other than that I don't advise any user to use the development branch unless he is interested in testing and/or coding new features. This kind of commitment is always welcome but then the right forum to discuss this is lyx-devel. I hope this answers what you were asking. > -- > Paul E.

There are two lines in your file that explain this:
\secnumdepth -1000
\tocdepth -1000
Since it is impossible to do this directly from lyx I would expect either
someone changed this value by hand or your beamer layout file has those
values there.
If you want to you can change both values by hand and the file will start to
behave nicely.

You need to find a tool that converts docbook to chm, and then use the
traditional way of configuring lyx.
1) Add format, with its viewer
2) Define how to convert from docbook to chm

There is no need to use the TeX mode, lyx supports this feature as Uwe

The shortcut for this is Ctr - (CUA) or Ctr h (for emacs mode).

223 is the code of ß in a given encoding. In this context the encoding is
used by microsoft, it is almost equal to latin-1 but not quite (as usual :-),
in this range of values is the same as latin-1.
Just to confirm (calling from ipython):
In [13]: print chr(223).decode('latin-1')
