Re: arxiv pdf generated problem
I've finally solved my arxiv problem with pdflatex generated by Lyx. Reading the instructions closely, arxiv says to put the \pdfoutput=1 in the first 5 lines of the .tex file. They were not kidding! I was putting it in the latex preamble in Lyx which of course was not in the first 5 lines of the .tex file. Problem solved! Thanks for the support. -- myriam

Help with arxiv
Hello, I've posted about that before but I still have some problems. If you were successful posting to arxiv.org from a lyx document, I would like to hear from you. My problem is now the insertion of images in the generation of a .pdf document. Here are my steps: 1. In Lyx: export to latex (pdflatex) 2. run latex twice on the .tex file produced. This will generate .pdf images to be included. 3. zip everything in the directory for submission to arxiv. Running pdflatex produces a correct document that includes the images. Unfortunately, it seems that arxiv is not using pdflatex (although it claims to be able to process pdflatex files). Anyother incantation does not seem to include the images in the document. The images are in the directory and it seems that the images are found wrapping \includegraphics with \fbox. Any ideas? -- myriam

Bib2wiki question
I'm building a bibliography on a wiki (mediawiki) so that other people can collaborate their bibtex entries. I then cut-and-paste the bibtex entry page from the wiki into a file and then run a script that combines bibtex2thml and html2wiki. I then cut-and-paste the output to a wiki page. All this cut-and-pasting is manual and is becoming a pain. But it gives a nice looking bibliography with minimal effort and also an html file that can be used to write a paper with Word if desired. Is there a simpler way? I would like to run this script automatically and I've heard of wiki bots but I don't know where to begin. TIA -- myriam
Re: Bibtex to Wiki
Yes, that's a good point. I am stuck with MediaWiki however. I've tried bibtex2html followed by html2wiki successfully. The hmtl output can then be used for Word also. To go the other way, I thought to make a wiki page with the bibtex entries (wrapped with ) for other people to enter their entries. Once in a while, I will take that page and run the bibtex2html+html2wiki combo. It's awkward. Consolidating a wiki into a pdf is a good idea for a report though. -- myriam

Hi! My tables do not come out right when exporting with latex2html. I'm using lyx 1.3.2 and Redhat 9. Since I have a deadline, is there a quick fix to that? TIA myriam
overlays and seminar class
I'm using the seminar class and seminar.layout for my presentations and I'm still struggling with overlays. I've found out that I need to control the slide environment myself to have overlays working. So far so good but the display seems to get recentered each time. I've found that some people use the InvisibleText command from the slides class to get overlays working. How can I do that with the seminar class? Just inserting \invisible did not work. myriam
algorithm
What do you use to write algorithms in an Algorithm float box? I'm at a loss about getting the proper indentation. I'm looked at the listing class but it's for programming languages not pseudo-code. myriam
notes in seminar slides
Hi! I sprinkled my slides with notes. Is there a way to print only those notes? TIA (lyx 1.3.2) myriam
overlays in seminar slides
Hi!
I read in the seminar documentation that overlay are possibles.
I tried \overlay{n} and \begin {overlay}{n} with no success. How do
you do overlays with seminar in lyx, then?
TIA

page display in seminar slides
\thepage is displayed as 2 numbers like that: 0-1, 0-2, etc.
How can I fix that? Here's my pagestyle definition:
\newpagestyle{mypage}
{\color{Gold}
\leavevmode\leaders\hrule height1.5pt\hfil}
{\color{Gold}
\leavevmode\leaders\hrule height1.5pt\hfil%
\lower.32ex\hbox{%
\textcolor{Blue2}{~~\thepage~~}}%
\rule{5mm}{1.5pt}}
TIA

seminar slides
Is there something wrong with the seminar class in Lyx? I get the
following error:
Undefined control sequence.
\slideheading
{this is a header}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
I use the seminar.layout from the wiki and here's my preamble:
\usepackage[dvips]{pstcol}
\usepackage{semcolor}
\usepackage{semlayer}
\usepackage{semhelv}
\usepackage[dvips]{color}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\input{seminar.bug}
\input{seminar.bg2}
% Slides parameters: general setup
% \centerslidesfalse % Text not centered
\slideframe{none} % No frame borders

adding a bibliography style
Hi! I've added IEEEtran.bst to /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/base, ran texhash and reconfigured Lyx but the IEEEtran style still does not appear in the menu of the bibliography styles in Lyx (1.3.2 on RH 9). Did I miss anything? Thanks, myriam

figure float problem
Hi! I'm using the RH9 rpm with qt for lyx 1.3.3. I have 2 figure floats (eps) and it seems that the last figure overlaps with the first when printing or viewing the document. The figures are fine in Lyx and they are fine when viewing them outside of Lyx with ghostview. What could be the problem? I'm baffled. myriam
strange behavior in 1.3.2
Hi! I have an "old" lyx file (report layout) where the greek and math symbols are spelled out in Lyx 1.3.2 (the postscript is ok). Any ideas? myriam
Dissertation done!
I've just got the approval on the formatting of my dissertation. So, I'm done! I have to say that I could not have done it without Lyx and without your help. Thanks! myriam
Re: Bibliography title formatting
Thanks. That worked beautifully for me to meet my thesis
requirements.
Similarly, I also have to format the headers of "List of Algorithms"
Any hints on that? Thanks. I'm desperate as the end of the semester
looms ahead.

Bibliography title formatting
Hi! I have to format the spacing and the font of the bibtex generated bibliography. Any hints? I didn't find exactly what I needed in the Tips&Tricks page. TIA myriam
float placement
Hi! I'm using floats for figures. I have to make sure that there are 3-4 spaces between the figure and the text. Since the document is double-spaced, Lyx only puts 2 spaces. How to add additional spaces? It seems that Lyx is too intelligent and overrides any spaces I put in. TIA myriam
toc, lof, lot, etc.
Hi!
I have to change the font and spacing of those commands. I have
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents}
How can I also specify the font and spacing (2in from the top)?
Thanks.
myriam
Re: page number location
Well, okay. I ended up changing the top margin and fixing headsep (in
the lyx gui) and headwidth in preamble. Please note that maybe
headwidth should be added to the document->paper interface
thingie. Please let me know if there is a better solution.
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\addtolength{\headwidth}{0.5in}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[R]{\thepage}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[R]{\thepage}
}

Re: page number location
No. Whatever I do, I can't get the page number outside of the margins
specified. What to do?

page number location
Hi! In the book document class, how do I change the page number location? It seems right now to be on the top and right margins specified (1.25 and 1 inch, respectively) but my requirements are that the page number be at 0.5 inch in the corner. Thanks. myriam
