Get the chapter/section/subsection numbering as frame-notes
Hi all! Is there any quick-hack to *move* chapter/section/subsection numbers off the main text-body, e.g. move it to the frame (well... left from the main text)?

In order to find out, we need a minimal example file that shows the
misbehaviour for you. Both the LyX file and the LaTeX output.
(everything works as expected here).
Breaking URLs works with the preamble command: \usepackage{breakurl}
I think I know the reason:
The breakurl is an extension to hyperref package that allows line-breakable
\url-like links when compiling via latex + dvips + ps2pdf
.. if the dvips driver is being used, the original \url doesn't allow line
breaks in the middle of the created link: the link comes in one atomic
piece. This package allows such line breaks in the generated links.
Note that this package is intended only for those using the dvips driver.
Users of the pdflatex driver already have this feature.
(Quote from the ReadMe File of breakurl)
But it is still strange for me, as I thought I'm using pdflatex. But frankly
I never understood the converter dialog quite well.
I see (in a document of mine) that some URL's are broken (as they should
be since I checked the respective field under: Document Settings PDF
Properties Hypperlinks *check* Break links over lines) and some are
not !?
Shouldn't this work without any entry in the preamble?

I think that this is intended behaviour: by not breaking these URLs, the url package indicates to you that the URLs in question cannot be broken in a satisfying manner within a justified paragraph. Either the line is too short or too long. The url package allows you to customize this. For instance, you can do some kind of tracking by inserting into the preamble: \Urlmuskip = 0mu plus 1mu which allows some additional spacing inside the URL. Or set the paragraph alignment to raggedright. Or simply rewrite your text. Jürgen Juergen, thank you for your attention. Kind regards, Nikos

This would save your time to customize LyX, if color inversion is your real aim. FWIW, I am a new user (started with LyX this summer) and the changes that have been introduced with the new release (1.6) are many and important. I had a look back to 1.5.x and I don't think I would be the same happy using LyX 1.5 now. My guess is that there are new stuff in the documentation.

Use of \definecolor in the preamble

Adjust the \appendix to match kerkis fonts
Hi all! I finally managed to get Greek Translations of various
Headings using the article(KOMA-Script) and the Language set to English.
I also use the kerkis package which is in my opinion very nice looking.
However there is one small problem concerning the \appendix. If am I
not wrong, \appendix is not an environment but a command (source: the
KOMA-Script documentation).
This is why,I think, it gets re-set to completely normal text and does
not match the other headings. I tried to play around with some settings
(\textbf, \huge, \large, etc.) but, obviously, this does not set the
same font as used in the rest of the document.
Can someone shed some light? How can I explicitly set the font for the
Appendix (in my case for \textgreek{Par\char136rthma})?
Thank you, Nikos.

Sequential footnote numbering in book KOMA-Script: a difficult task?
Hi! I can't seem to find the way to get _one_ numbering of footnotes for the whole document (class book-KOMA Script) and not a per-chapter numbering, as it is the default in this document class. I've found some pointers on the web (in german language) suggesting to use footmisc [1] [2] but I can't get it working. Is it really that difficult?

Re: Strategies for Writing Co-operation with Non-LyX Users?
I had a few days back this problem: how to give my document to somebody for corrections (anything except .lyx or .tex). The other person did try to install lyx (on Kubuntu) but probably Kubuntu's repositories host a previous version of LyX and we all know that it costs some time to get all things working straight forward. I only want to say, as an end-user, that I don't even think to go back to OpenOffice for documents. Even if there are cooperation problems. While I agree, more or less, with Piero Faustini that _one_ way to push LyX further is to ignore other documents (especially .doc's) I still think that a tool should be interoperable meaning, except of getting it working on most operating systems, that it is able to handle most known/established document formats (painless import/export).

For example, instead of executive, I see εξεςυτιε. Greek text can be input either with the correct unicode chars or with a Latin transcription (this is a feature to help people without a Greek keyboard and pre-dates Unicode). This is why LaTeX will typeset English text with Greek letters if it believes it to bee Greek text. You need to tell LyX which parts of the document are Greek and which are English: Select the English text and choose EditText styleCustomLanguage English (Subsequent parts can be changed easier by selecting and clicking the Font button right of the Emphasis and Small-Caps button or with Alt-x textstyle-apply) If you happen to need this feature regularely, define a keybinding for setting the text language to English or Greek. As the other way round (some Greek words in a non-Greek text) is the more common case (outside Greece), it works with recent LyX versions. (BTW: there is also planned/prepared support for polytonic Greek characters from the Greek extended Unicode block.) This is the base for the proposed workaround to set the document to English and re-defining the headings etc. in the preamble. However, this is only advisable for existing documents with lots of Greek/English changes and lack of time to fix them. Günter Guenter, there is also another problem with the workaround I propose: the bookmarks (when the user selects them to be created in a pdf exported document) are not greek, so you can't really read them.

Once and a while it doesn't hurt :-) I maintain at work a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Due to technical reasons the distance between the pixels in x-direction is different from the y-direction. So you usually take SEM images with 512x512 pixels, but get a rectangular, non-quadratic image. This is, more or less, also the case with images referenced in a geographic coordinate system (think degrees, minutes, seconds). X and Y are in reality different since latitude varies greatly when you measure it near the equator against higher latitudes. The maps (images) look distorted but they are still, on-display, rectangulars. Anyhow, the scales (geo-maps vs. SEM's) have nothing to do :-) I wonder if GRASS-GIS, which is a power-full raster engine, could be of any use for SEM images? Why not referencing to a micro-scale reference system images and play around? :D You can also play around with voxels and 3D-stuff. For the fun of the game I would like to try it out some day. I might even post to folks over in GRASS-user mailing list about this (foolish perhaps) idea. The image format is TIFF and the pixel distance is specified in the TIFF header. I understand here distance as resolution. Something like an image in which the x-dimension of a pixel is 1 metre and the y-dimension of the pixel is set to be 1.5 metre. Unfortunately the only program that checks for the pixel distance is Windows' built in image viewer. In e.g. Adobe Acrobat you have to specify the pixel distance manually to get a non-distorted image. So you mean you have to set manually the resolution of x-y if I get it right. Just for the records: under Linux you have for example imagemagick (a great, in number and in abilities, collection of image manipulation tools). I am pretty sure you could do neat stuff with your images. regards Uwe Kind regards and thank you for your explanation. Nikos

L.S.,
I'm having the following problem with the listings package. I would like to
use the listings package in lyx to show code parts in pdf output. User should
be able to just copy the code from the pdf and paste it in their editor and
run the code without modification.
However,
if I put the following line in a listing:
Create KlattGrid... kg 0 0.3 6 1 1 6 1 1 1
then it will show allright in the pdf but if the user copies this line from
the pdf then a space is included in his copy just before the three dots.
Hist copy will be:
Create KlattGrid ... kg 0 0.3 6 1 1 6 1 1 1
The three dots should not be separated from the Create KlattGrid part.
How can I arrange this?
The parameters for listings that I use are the following
alsoletter={'}
basicstyle={\footnotesize\ttfamily}
extendedchars=false
frame=L
upquote=false
The alsoletter={'} is to prevent spaces being added after starting single
and double quotes and before the ending quotes.
It did not help to include the dot in the alsoletter list because then the
number 0.3 will be split in two parts as 0 .3.
I'm using Debian unstable/experimental with lyx 1.6.1.
Could anyone please help me how to make listings do somewhat less formatting.

Minitoc and book (KOMA-Script) under LyX
Hi all!
[Using LyX 1.6.1 under Ubuntu II/ 64-bit, book(KOMA-Script)]
I've decided to use the minitoc package. I would like to have (as many
others would like to have :-) a _SectionToC_ for each Chapter (except
the 1st) in the beginning, of course, of each Chapter, listing Sections
(x.x) and Subsections (x.x.x).
I have read a lot of stuff [1] [2] [3] but I would like to have
beforehand a more complex example implemented with LyX (more complex
than the example given in [4]) in order to get going.
Currently I use:
* \usepackage{minitoc} in the Preamble
* \dominitoc somewhere in the beginning of my document
* \minitoc in the Introduction (note: Introduction is Addchap and
all of its Sections are Addsec), in Chapter 2, in Chapter 3 and in
Chapter 4.
The result is that:
* the minitoc does not appear in the Introduction (probably it has
to do with the Add* commands)
* it does not appear in the 2nd Chapter.
* it does appear in Chapter 3. _But_ it does not correspond to
Chapter 2. Instead it lists the Sections of the Introduction!
* it doeas appear in Chapter 4, but as above, it shows the Sections
of the previous Chapter, that is Chapter 3.
Would be nice to have an option in LyX for that.
Kind regards, Nikos

If you use bash, there is another form of commands substitution other
than `backticks`. It is $(command) form. It may solve problems with
formatting and become more recognizable in your code examples.
Manveru, thanks for the tip. However, I insist in using the backticks.
It's easy and gives a bettwe overview in a command like...
NEWNAME=MOD${YEAR}_${RESOLUTION}_`echo ${i} | cut -d':' -f5
| cut -d_ -f1,2,3 | sed 's+\_1++g' | sed 's+\_250m++g' |

No need for an example here I think. It' simple: a backtick is _`_, a
tick (or a single-quote!?) is _'_. The backtick is usually below the Esc
key in most keyboards. The single wuote is well, usually in the same key
where the double quote lies. They should appear in the pdf like here in
this e-mail. Instead one cannot tell their difference in the output when
I use Bera as a typewriter font. Courier shows them better but, again, I
can't scale the font (I think...).

There are no missing lines. If there is a listing in the .lyx file, LyX
adds the usepackage automatically when generating the latex code.
I'm afraid you can't force this, but maybe somebody knows a work-around.

Hi Vincent!
I know there are no real missing lines (this is why I used the quotes).
But where is this pre-preabmle lying? Why can't I see it in my
text-editor?
Nonetheless, I think I've just hit a work-around :-)
Move all listing-settings from the Document Settings Text layout
Listing settings (right windows) into the Preabmle. So my Listing

\usepackage{textcomp}

\lstset{alsoletter={*()'0123456789.},

Hi Robert.
What you are looking for is described in the documentation of the
tocloft package. You need to load the tocloft package of course:
% put this in the Preamble
\usepackage{tocloft}
To make the dots to disappear you would need to put in your preamble (or
before the toc in your document as an ERT I think... !?) something
like \renewcommand{\cftXdotsep}{\cftnodots} where X is chap (for
chapter), sec (for section) and more
% for example, to switch off the dots for scetion entries
\renewcommand{\cftsecdotsep}{\cftnodots}
The documentation is very useful. You can get it from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/tocloft.html
Hope this helps.

Setting Latin Modern fonts makescompley e the lyx unrecognisable by linux (text editors)
Hi all! I've changed the fonts of my document over to Latin Modern. I didn't really opened with a text-editor the lyx file after switching font-settings.

I just ran eLyXer (under Ubuntu II/ 64-bit) a couple of times. Your example-files userguide.lyx and devguide.lyx are translated without errors. Unfortunately, by testing on my own documents I receive only errors. Some examples (of output) below. Let me know if you need full-preamble and/or other details. Kindest regards, Nikos # article(KOMA-script) ./elyxer UpSideDown_World.lyx UpSideDown_world.html Error at 223: \noindent Line \begin_inset Newline newline not found Traceback (most recent call last): File ./elyxer, line 1159, in module createbook(args) File ./elyxer, line 1155, in createbook book.parsecontents(reader, writer) File ./elyxer, line 1135, in parsecontents container = ContainerFactory.create(reader) File ./elyxer, line 1128, in create container.parse(reader) File ./elyxer, line 353, in parse self.contents = self.parser.parse(reader) File ./elyxer, line 176, in parse container = self.factory.create(reader) File ./elyxer, line 1128, in create container.parse(reader) File ./elyxer, line 353, in parse self.contents = self.parser.parse(reader) File ./elyxer, line 161, in parse container = self.factory.create(reader) File ./elyxer, line 1124, in create type = ContainerFactory.root.find(reader) File ./elyxer, line 134, in find return tree[ParseTree.default] KeyError: '~~default~~' # the same file as above but using the standard article class ./elyxer UpSideDown_World_standard_article.lyx UpSideDown_world_standard_article.html Error at 213: \noindent Line \begin_inset Newline newline not found Traceback (most recent call last): File ./elyxer, line 1159, in module createbook(args) File ./elyxer, line 1155, in createbook book.parsecontents(reader, writer) File ./elyxer, line 1135, in parsecontents container = ContainerFactory.create(reader) File ./elyxer, line 1128, in create container.parse(reader) File ./elyxer, line 353, in parse self.contents = self.parser.parse(reader) File ./elyxer, line 176, in parse container = self.factory.create(reader) File ./elyxer, line 1128, in create container.parse(reader) File ./elyxer, line 353, in parse self.contents = self.parser.parse(reader) File ./elyxer, line 161, in parse container = self.factory.create(reader) File ./elyxer, line 1124, in create type = ContainerFactory.root.find(reader) File ./elyxer, line 134, in find return tree[ParseTree.default] KeyError: '~~default~~' # standard article, just with a Title, Section and some text lines ./elyxer test_greek_Dictum.lyx test_greek_Dictum.html Line \begin_inset Newline newline not found Traceback (most recent call last): File ../lyx-stuff/elyxer/elyxer, line 1159, in module createbook(args) File ../lyx-stuff/elyxer/elyxer, line 1155, in createbook book.parsecontents(reader, writer) File ../lyx-stuff/elyxer/elyxer, line 1135, in parsecontents container = ContainerFactory.create(reader) File ../lyx-stuff/elyxer/elyxer, line 1128, in create container.parse(reader) File ../lyx-stuff/elyxer/elyxer, line 353, in parse self.contents = self.parser.parse(reader) File ../lyx-stuff/elyxer/elyxer, line 176, in parse container = self.factory.create(reader) File ../lyx-stuff/elyxer/elyxer, line 1124, in create type = ContainerFactory.root.find(reader) File ../lyx-stuff/elyxer/elyxer, line 134, in find return tree[ParseTree.default] KeyError: '~~default~~'
LyX trunk: where is the configure script?
Hi all! I've jsut tried to compile from source (trunk). There is no executable _configure_ script though !? ls -l | grep configure -rw-r--r-- 1 nik nik 15612 2009-03-11 08:05 configure.ac Anything different in LyX than with usual source-codes? Kindest regards, Nikos

Florian: quote from INSTALL: Note for Subversion (SVN) checkouts - If you have checked this out from Subversion, you need to have: * automake = 1.5 * autoconf = 2.59c * gettext = 0.12 Then type ./autogen.sh to build the needed configuration files and proceed as stated below. hope that helps for i never tried to compile on a linux machine... Right! In the past I've got a tarred source code package I think and compiled as usual (using ./configure). Thanks Florian, Nikos
Exporting to RTF
Folks, I need some help. I have an article (for a Newsletter) which I have to deliver today. I am trying unsuccessfully to export my document _at least_ as an RTF to make my colleague's life easy :-). [I still have problems with all kinds of _external_ file formats] I get the following error in the terminal: (Not set):213 Error! More than 100 PushSource() calls Error: Cannot convert file Any hints? Thanks in advance, Nikos

I removed all commands from the Preamble and all figures from the document (some svg caused problems - don't appear with their correct size in the produced RTF) and I get something which is more or less ready to work with.

Re: Introducing eLyXer: LyX to HTML converter
Nikos: first of all thank you for your efforts. All sounds very promising. I just ran eLyXer (under Ubuntu II/ 64-bit) a couple of times. Your example-files userguide.lyx and devguide.lyx are translated without errors. Unfortunately, by testing on my own documents I receive only errors. Some examples (of output) below. Let me know if you need full-preamble and/or other details. Alex: Right, it's a bug in the parsing tree. Now corrected to accept generic insets. Could you please try again? Same download link: http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Tools/eLyXer/elyxer-20090311.tar.gz I would like to try a newer version; I am right now compiling LyX 1.6.2rc2 but it is going to take a while. Could you send me privately a sample document, even if it is a large one? It is probably the fastest way to diagnose any remaining problems. Alex, the simple article with Title, a Section and some text lines is translated now :-). The complete article though (both the KOMA-Script and the standard article class) causes trouble. I am sending you off-list my article (both versions, KOMA-Script and standard article). ( And FWIW, regarding commands presented in any document (call it userguide or tutorial or whatever) I think it's better if you use Program Listings for code and set the font to courier. It's what this environment is there for so you can manipulate all of your _listings_ at once. ) Keep up the good work and let us enjoy at some point full functionality of eLyXer :-). Kindest regards, Nikos
