CAS in LyX!
Hi. I've just noticed that LyX 1.3.6 has now support for some Computer Algebra Systems (Octave, Maxima, Mathematica and Maple are the ones listed in Edit -> Math -> Use Computer Algebra System. This is a most awaited feature, and I often wavered between LyX and TeXmacs because, although I'm much more used to the first, only the second has been providing this resource. If LyX is now providing support for CAS (specially the free ones), it's just great! That combined with the really cool feature of dynamic rendering of printer-quality mathematical symbols could make me keep on using LyX till the end of eternity! Congrats for you guys that are integrating these really useful features into LyX. However, it seems that there's no reference for the use of CAS in LyX either in the User Guide or in the Extended Features guide. Where can I find a tutorial or something like that?

Box around system of equations.
Has anyone managed to get a box wrapped around a system of equations or a
multiline equation?
The usual LaTeX and AMSTex commands, \fbox and \boxed only work for
single-lined equations like \begin{displaymath} of \begin{equation}.
On the other hand, the empheq package is able to render very exquisite boxes,
but the syntax seems to be incompatible with LyX. For instance, to generate
a box around a system of equations I have to use the empheq environment,
which invokes the AMS mathematical environments, as in the example below:
\begin{empheq}[box=\fbox]{align*}
a &= b \\
b &= c
\end{enpheq}
Lyx does not seem to offer any standard way to do this and even inside an ugly
ERT box it's not trivial to use the empheq package...

How to change size of math screen fonts?
Hi. I'm using LyX 1.3.6 on Fedora 4. Is to possible to change the size of math screen fonts? If I go to Edit -> Preferences -> Screen fonts I only get something changing the Zoom %. Changing the Screen DPI has no effect. Moreover, it only changes the text fonts, leaving the math fonts always with the same size. -- Rudi Gaelzer Departament of Physics Physics and Mathematics Institute Federal University of Pelotas Caixa Postal 354 - Campus UFPel 96010-900 Pelotas - RS BRAZIL Phone: +55-53-275-7468 FAX: +55-53-275-7343 Registered Linux user # 153741
Re: How to change size of math screen fonts?
Roy. Thank you for your reply. It does work, indeed. What's confusing me is that the text is scaled as soon as you click on the Apply button, but the math gets rescaled only if you Save and then restart LyX. Moreover, after spending some time searching through the messages in this list, I've found several discussing Instant Preview issues. Just then I realized that this topic is explained in an article by Angus in the Wiki pages, at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/InstantPreview. This feature is not discussed in the User Guide, though, and it seems to me that the Wiki pages turned out to be the de facto manual pages for LyX, or am I wrong? Since I'm on it, some days ago I posted a message inquiring about boxes around systems of equations. Has anyone been able to do that on LyX?

Multline subscript / AMS in LyX
Does anyone know if the subarray AMS environment is implemented in LyX (I mean, not in ERT mode) and how to use it? I want a multline subscript with the lines left-aligned. The command \substack is implemented, but the lines are centered. The subarray environment is the way to do this. Also, where can I find a description of AMS resources supported by LyX? The User Guide seems to be fairly incomplete on the subject.

Re: Multline subscript / AMS in LyX
Well, OK, thanks anyway, but this is Lamport-style, standard LaTeX. One of
the aims of the AMS package, though, is to provide resources that render
mathematical display that is aesthetically more appealing than standard
LaTeX...
Just for you to notice the difference between array and subarray environments
in this case, I'm attaching a small .tex file which compares both instances.
Cheers.

Cross-reference accross unrelated files.
I often need to make a reference to an equation (mostly) in another LyX file.
Now, I know that it's easy to cross-reference between different files if one
is inputed/included inside the other or both inside a master file.
However, if I want to cross-reference equations between unrelated texts, the
trick doesn't seem to work. In a quick search, I was not able to find any
thread dealing with this neither in the list nor in the wiki pages.
The only way I found to accomplish this is using the xr.sty package in the
following manner:
Suppose you want to mention equation (label: eq1) in document doc1.lyx inside
document doc2.lyx and they are not inputed/included in any way:
First, export doc1.lyx to LaTex -> doc1.tex -> latex doc1 -> doc1.aux created.
Then, in the preamble of doc2.lyx:
...
\usepackage{xr}
\externaldocument{doc1}
...
making sure that doc1.aux is in the path determined by the TEXINPUTS
environment variable. Now I can reference the labels in doc1.lyx. The catch
here is that every time I make new changes in doc1.lyx, I have to go through
the steps all over again...
Does anyone know of any other way to do this? If there is no other way, I
would suggest to developers that they try to implement this resource so that
LyX can extract automagically this information from other .lyx file, without
having to go through the .tex and .aux intermediate steps.
Thanks.

Symbol fonts in Mandriva 2006.
I'm baffled! I've just installed Paul Smith's rpm package for LyX 1.3.7 in my Mandriva 2006 LE system. He developed the package for Mandriva 2005 LE, but the package seemed to work for the 2006 release as well. However, I just noticed that I lost the display of several math symbols like Greek letters, \parallel, \perp, etc. I lost them only on the display; LyXPreview shows the symbols all right. I tried installing the auxiliary packages fonts-ttf-latex-0.1-1mdk.noarch.rpm and latex-xft-fonts-0.1-1.noarch.rpm alternatively and also with both packages installed and nothing works. I even uninstalled the 1.3.7 package and returned to the 1.3.6 version, but still no symbols on display. Does anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I guess you're right there, because I only detected this problem after I imported TrueType fonts from the windows partition, using the automatic importer that comes with drakconf. I'm afraid to simply get rid of the TrueType fonts. I don't have that much knowledge about fonts and from my previous experiences Mandrake/Mandriva systems become somewhat unstable when you fool around too much with system configuration... The problem, however, seems to be the way lyx is handling symbol fonts for screen display. The fonts I choose on Edit -> Preferences -> Look and feel -> Screen fonts seem to be only text fonts, not math or symbol fonts. I can find no place on the configuration to choose these fonts.

Symbol character for Mandriva 2006 (yet).
Some days ago, I posted a message about some symbol characters that are no longer correctly displayed (in math mode) in my Mandriva 2006 LE box. This bug still happens in version 1.4.0. For instance, of all the lowercase greek letters, only \epsilon and \varrho are not rendered at the display. Instant preview works fine. Of the other symbol characters, some are also not correctly displayed, like \partial and \int. Now I looked at the /usr/local/share/lyx/symbols file and found that at the section # symbols generated from fontmath.ltx at the column charid-in-fallback-Xsymbol-font, \epsilon and \varrho are identified by 0 (zero), whereas all other greek letters have some other number. I tried to assign some numbers to \epsilon in this column, but so far was not successful, and this is a fairly boring procedure. Could someone please enlighten me on the meaning of this option and show me where I can find a complete table of the greek and symbol characters that could help me? Thank you. -- Rudi Gaelzer Departament of Physics Institute of Physics and Mathematics Federal University of Pelotas Caixa Postal 354 - Campus UFPel 96010-900 Pelotas - RS BRAZIL Phone: +55-53-3275-7416 FAX: +55-53-3275-7343 Registered Linux User # 153741

Could anyone please elucidate me on the syntax of the /usr/local/share/lyx/symbols file? For instance: where can I find the tables to which the character codes in the file make reference?

Re: Syntax of Symbols file.
Thanks for the reply, Georg. I've already sent a couple of posts complaining that I suddenly lost the display of a couple of greek characters (like \epsilon and \varrho) and several math symbols (like \int, \partial, \to, etc). That happens only in MathEd mode. Instant Preview is fine. The problem appears in all LyX versions I tested (1.3.6 - 1.4.0) in my laptop that runs Mandriva LE 2006. My fedora 4 boxes are ok. It seems to me that this bug appeared after I imported the TrueType fonts from the windows partition using the automatic engine provided by drakkonf, but I'm not 100% sure that this is the source of the problem. I thought that I could remedy the problem changing the characters codes in the symbols file, but this file has not changed after I imported the TrueType fonts. In fact, this file seems to be exactly the same, irrespective of LyX version and target distribution. So, I think this is really useless. I'm somewhat at a loss here. Do you have any suggestion about where I could look for the source of the problem? Thanks.

From the warnings you get, there's no error in your .tex file. What's
happening here is that the first time you process your source, latex creates
a number of additional files, depending on the resources you're using.
Normally, it creates at least a thesis-komascript.aux and a
thesis-komascript.log. The second (thesis-komascript.log) is the log file;
it contains all warning and error messages you might get during processing.
It's the first (thesis-komascript.aux) that you'll want. It contains all
references to labels you created in your source together with the information
you'll want to associate with the label, like equation number, section
number, page number, etc.
Therefore, you'll have to run latex on your file (thesis-komascript.tex) at
least once more so that it can associate the label reference with the desired
number. If you are also bibtex'ing, then you'll have to run latex, then
bibtex, then latex again, sometimes twice, until it gets all references and
citations correctly.
Happy latex'ing. It reminds me of the good ole days when there was no such
things as LyX, TeXmacs, scientific word to simplify our exciting task of
writing a thesis...

Funny! I swear it wasn't working. I could wait a whole day and nothing... Then, I started lyx from the console in debug mode (with lyx -dbg any, as suggested) and Instant preview worked. Then, I quitted and started from the kde menu (lyx-qt) and voila! Here I have math preview in lyx 1.4.1. Any idea on this funny behaviour? Thanks for all suggestions.

Read only as default.
Some time ago I learned that I could toggle the read-only option by issuing the buffer-toggle-read-only command. Now I'd like to know if it is possible for LyX to open an old file with this option set by default. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Often I want to just read an existing document, but sometimes I can inadvertently push some key or paste some text residing on the clipboard. I was just wondering if LyX could open these documents as read only from the start, avoiding such mishaps. Of course I could always tinker with the file attributes, but I'd like to avoid that too, if possible.

Indented paragraph in description list.
Returning to this thread:
http://marc.info/?l=lyx-users&m=116026623917165&w=2
which concerns the creation of a multi-paragraph description list, the recipe
works, but the new paragraph is not indented inside the description.
Now, in LaTeX2e, you can set the length of \listparindent to 1\parindent, or
something else, but you have to set it inside the list_decl field of the list
environment.
Is there no way I can set a paragraph indentation inside a list in LyX? I
even tried to issue the command
\setlength{\listpartindent}{1\parindent}
or
\setlength{\listpartindent}{0.5cm}
on the preamble, but it was solemnly ignored by LyX...
Thanks.

exporting pdflatex vs. lyx->latex->pdflatex
Funny. My presentation, which I wrote using LyX, does not export to PDF running pdflatex from File -> Export -> pdflatex. The PDF it creates is tiny and obviously has errors. However, if I do File -> Export -> LaTeX (pdflatex) and run pdflatex from Kile (KDE app), the PDF gets created all right.

Latex -> LyX -> Latex (trouble with accents)
Hi.
I'm importing a Latex file that has accented letters written in the old
encoding scheme (OT1) way: \'{a} \'{e} \'{\i} \c{c} \~{a}, etc.
I want to import this file into LyX, make the necessary changes and then
export it back to Latex.
The problem is that almost all accented letters are automatically converted to
the new encoding scheme (T1) (á é í ç ã, etc), but I'd like to have them
still written in the old way.
What I tried to do is set the TeX encoding in Tools -> Preferences... ->
Outputs -> Latex to OT1 before importing the .tex file. When I export the
modified text back to Latex, the preamble has the following instructions:
\usepackage[OT1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
as expected, but the accented letters in the text come out in the new
encoding, insted of the old, as I wished.
Anyone knows of some workaround for this?
Thanks.

Possible bug on document encoding.
I want to report this first here. If you agree that this is a bug, I can file a report... I want to export a LyX file containing figure floats to LaTeX using ASC II language encoding. However, I detected something strange. If I process (view dvi) and/or export the file using LaTeX default encoding (or utf8), everything works fine. This is the case of the yadas.lyx file attached. However, if I change the language encoding at Document -> Settings -> Language -> Encoding to ascii, I can neither process nor export the text to LaTeX. This is the case of the yadas_ascii.lyx file attached. On the last file, if I remove the figure float and/or the accented letters, then I can process/export the file again... this bug seems to occur when I have both, the float and the accented letters. Is anyone detecting the same problem? -- Rudi Gaelzer Department of Physics Institute of Physics and Mathematics Federal University of Pelotas BRAZIL Registered linux user # 153741 yadas.lyx Description: application/lyx yadas_ascii.lyx Description: application/lyx

Math-intensive work in 1.4.x impossible.
I installed the rpm for LyX 1.4.2 distributed in the Fedora 5 extras repository. I've found that it's still impossible to work intensively on mathematical expressions with LyX 1.4.x. After I perform a relatively small amount of editing, inside and outside math mode, the window simply crashes and then I have to recover the document. That happened to me 3 times in about 10 minutes of editing... The same problem occurred with all versions 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 that I tested. Every time I have to come back to version 1.3.7, which is fortunately very robust. I would like to post a debug report on this. How can I channel the ouput of "lyx -dbg any" into a file?

Re: Math-intensive work in 1.4.x impossible.
Jean-Marc, I don't think this is possible. I mean, the crash seems to occur at any instant. I can not identify any particular sequence of keystrokes that will ignite it... the only pattern I can see is that the window crashes always after a lot of intensive editing in mathed mode, usually when I'm leaving or entering a math environment. I could send the bug report obtained from "lyx -dbg any 2> lyx_bug.txt", as Michael Abshoff suggested, but the file, even when compressed with bzip2, is above the 6b limit of the mailer-deamon.

Re: lyx-1.4.3
I'd say that if you successfully compiled the source with the qt frontend but it won't start, then you have some problem with the KDE desktop on your laptop, otherwise you wouldn't be able to compile, to start with. Perhaps you should consult someone close to you that could give a good look at your mandriva/kde configuration and figure out what the problem could be. Unless someone else in this list could give some hints... Another suggestion, which takes time and effort, is to perform a fresh install of mandriva 2006... was your /home directory created in its own partition?

Strange behaviour of mathed and instant preview.
Since I changed to LyX 1.4.3, I've noticed some strange behaviour when editing mathematical formulas and using Instant Preview, which was absent in the 1.3.x versions. I think you can reproduce some of my woes in the attached file. Open it, enable Instant Preview and wait until it renders all the formulas. Take the first (reasonably long) formula. Click on it and do some editing, then click outside the math environment. When I do this with my formulas, most of the time Instant Preview will not render the modified equation the first time; I have to click on it again and then go outside for it to be rendered correctly. Now, take the second (longer) equation. This equation takes more than one window size in my 800x600 notebook display. Everytime I click on the beginning or the ending part of the equation, the display jumps to the middle of it, making any attempt to modify it very annoying. There are some further issues concerning navigation inside math formulas, but I'll leave it to a future message. Has anyone by any chance noticed this kind of behaviour?

Version Control vs. Change Tracking
Hi there. I'd be very thankful if anyone would be kind enough to clarify the main differences between Version Control and Change Tracking. As far as I could gather, Change Tracking is useful when one or more authors are submitting changes to the same LyX file and then the principal author can accept or reject the changes, as explained in the Wiki pages http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/ChangeTrackingLyx1-3-2 According to the wiki, changes appear on the display in red and are recorded in the same file as the main text. Then you can send this only file to different authors which can in turn make further changes. Whereas with Version control, as far as I could understand the explanation in the Extended LyX Features manual, a group of different authors submit changes to a text, which are recorded in different files. This means that all the files in the project must stay on the same system, and the authors must log on this system to propose modifications to the text. Am I right or did I get it completely wrong? Please don't RTFM me, some short hints can greatly reduce the learning curve for me. I'm interested on the best feature for a group of authors in different institutions to edit a manuscript for a paper, for instance. Any suggestions appreciated. -- Rudi Gaelzer Department of Physics Institute of Physics and Mathematics Federal University of Pelotas BRAZIL Registered Linux User # 153741
Invisible citations in LyX.
In a LaTeX2e document, if I want an invisible citation, i. e., no reference
made on text, but still the bibliography entry, I can use the command
\nocite{key}.
However, in LyX I could find no way to implement this, other than appealing to
ERT, which is a bit tedious, because I have to manually include the keys into
the ERT \nocite command.
Does anyone know whether this is really implemented in LyX or not, or if there
is a better way to do this?
Thank you.

You can also use the AMS command \boxed{} in math mode. It works with
single-line equations. If you want to draw a box around a multi-line equation,
there's the LaTeX fancybox package:
http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=fancybox
that draws very beautiful boxes, but in this case, you'll have to enter the
commands in ERT.

However, I often have to cross-reference among unrelated documents. In order to accomplish that, I have to first export the documents to LaTeX, then process them to create .aux files and then include in the preamble the xr package and point to the documents using the \externaldocument command, also in the preamble.

LyX 2.0x alpha5 in Fedora 14 and modules.
Hi. So far, only the alpha5 version of LyX 2.0 has been made available for Fedora 14. Anyone knows if the beta1 update will be offered soon in the yum updates repository? I'm asking because the alpha5 version is issuing error messages when it tries to load the theorem modules. Thank you. -- Rudi Gaelzer Department of Physics Institute of Physics and Mathematics Federal University of Pelotas BRAZIL Registered linux user # 153741
Re: LyX 2.0x alpha5 in Fedora 14 and modules.
When I open the master document, that tries to load the modules, the following window pops-up twice: LyX: Read Error. Error reading module theorems-ams-bytype. I forgot to mention that the file was created by LyX 1.6x. Thank you.

Still getting errors with 2.0.0beta1.
The LyX version offered on the Fedora 14 repositories has now upgraded to
2.0.0beta1.
When I load a 1.6x multi-document project into the beta version and try to
process it, I get the following error:
Paragraph ended before \gather* was complete.
Missing $ inserted.
Missing \endgroup inserted.
Display math should end with $$.
Misplaced \cr.
Misplaced \noalign.
Misplaced \noalign.
Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.
Missing $ inserted.
Of course, the document processed just fine with LyX 1.6x.
When I backtraced the error line from the exported tex source, I found that
the problem was in a gather* environment that contains an aligned
sub-environment. It seems that the lyx -> tex conversion is generating an
incorrect source code.
Moreover, LyX stops displaying the equations the moment a sub-environment is
created. You can verify that very quickly.
Here's the offending cell:
\begin{gather*}
\frac{d\boldsymbol{p}}{dt}=p_{\perp}\frac{d}{dt}\cos\phi\vu
1+p_{\perp}\frac{d}{dt}\sen\phi\vu
2=\frac{q_{\alpha}B_{0}}{c}\epsilon_{ij3}\vu
iv_{j}=\frac{q_{\alpha}B_{0}}{c}\left(v_{2}\vu 1-v_{1}\vu 2\right),\\
\begin{aligned}\sen\phi p_{\perp}\frac{d\phi}{dt} &
=-\frac{q_{\alpha}B_{0}}{c}v_{2}=-\frac{q_{\alpha}B_{0}}{c}\frac{p_{\perp}\sen\phi}{\gamma
m_{\alpha}}\\
\cos\phi p_{\perp}\frac{d\phi}{dt} &
=-\frac{q_{\alpha}B_{0}}{c}v_{1}=-\frac{q_{\alpha}B_{0}}{c}\frac{p_{\perp}\cos\phi}{\gamma
m_{\alpha}},
\end{aligned}
\end{gather*}
Processing the tex source directly, It complained that the paragraph was
ended before \gather* was complete. I just had to remove the empty line
before \end{gather*} and the document processed all right.
I guess this is a bug...

Hi. Has this bug been solved in the beta 2 release?
If not, what's the ticket #, so I can track it?

Seems like there is a small bug in the thesis template.
If I try to process the template, I get the error message:

Did you have to remove and reinstall LyX in the process? How do you find 2010 as compared with 2007? I'm mainly interested in the reverse search capabilities offered by the most recent releases.

Ok. Will do, as soon as it goes to the yum repository. As for the translation I proposed for "Assumption", as I said before, "assumpção" no longer appears in modern dictionaries. Besides "suposição", other possible translations could be "pressuposto" and "hipótese", but this last word would relate better to "hypothesis".

Error reading theorem modules.
I've just upgraded my laptop box to Fedora 15, with texlive 2010-fc15. Since then, when I try to load the Theorem-AMS-Bytype modules (using book layout and class), I get the error messages: "Error reading module theorem-ams-bytype" The strange thing is that the usual Theorems (AMS) module works with no troubles. It's just when I try to load instead the Theorems (AMS, Numbered by Type) module that I get the error messages. Is it possible that the texlive 2010 version in F15 is lacking the needed packages?

Re: cross-referencing between files
You mean, you're working with a child document only, without opening the master? I'd think this should work... I use Richard's suggestion of loading the xr package when the cross-reference happens with unrelated documents, i. e., outside a master-child structure. In this case, I have to generate and keep the *.aux file of the documents for the xr package to be able to pick up the labels.

Beamer help: nested overprints
I have a problem with Beamer that certainly has a very simple solution, but I'm not able to find it... In the attached file, there is a single frame. The first line appears on all subframes, but the following lines are inside a main overprint environment. The second line should appear only on the second slide, the third line on the third and fourth slides and it should replace the second line. There is also a fourth line that is overprinted on the third and fourth lines. However, the second line does not appear on the PDF, only the remaining subframes.

Notice that in your file the overlays are actually outside the overlayarea. You can see it clearly if you export to LaTeX. I you then include the onlyenvs inside the overlayarea (see attached), then the result conforms what I was expecting. The difference between the two cases is that in the first case, the baseline of the permanent text is moved upwards as more lines are added to the frame, whereas in the second case (all onlyenvs inside the overlayarea) the baseline is fixed. This is what I wanted. Thanks for the tip. I did not try with overlayarea because I was not sure about the overlay height. But it seems that setting a total height of 0cm does the trick. -- Rudi Gaelzer Departamento de Física Instituto de Física Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Porto Alegre - RS BRAZIL Phone: +55-51-3308-6472 FAX: +55-51-3308-7286 Registered Linux user # 153741 NestedOverprints3.lyx Description: application/lyx
Configuration of LyXHTML
I have just tested LyXHTML with a complex document (lots of childs, cross- references, listings, etc) and found that the result is fairly good. However, all the files that were generated were stored in the same directory as the sources. Is there a way to configure LyXHTML to change the following: 1. Write the files in another directory. 2. Color of the items in TOC. They are black by default. Can I change the color? 3. Using the "Fancy Colored Boxes" module. I inserted a Custom Color Box in the master document and the configuration of said custom box was rendered at the top of the xhtlm page. That configuration should not have been printed. 4. Also using the "Custom Header/Footerlines" module. The field titles: "Left Header:", "Right Footer:", etc, were also included in the xhtml. They should be invisible. Any tips?

Dear Paul. I just installed you module in LyX as per instructed. Thank you for your contribution. I may have some questions about it as I'm testing it. A first question is: does your module support the \algstore and \algrestore commands? I have some algorithms that I'd like to break through different pages. -- Rudi Gaelzer Institute of Physics Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul BRAZIL Registered linux user # 153741 -- Rudi Gaelzer Departamento de Física Instituto de Física Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Porto Alegre - RS BRAZIL Phone: +55-51-3308-6472 FAX: +55-51-3308-7286 Registered Linux user # 153741
