Ok, I did a make install-strip and - yes - it worked fantastic (including german localization). Hope I didn't bothered you too much but for me LyX is a very important tool and I didn't want to disturb my existing LyX installation (I did not expect to: I did not have troubles with installation or updates since the time I started to use LyX some years before).

Re: Lyx 1.1.6fix4
Hello Wilbert, hello Aide, thank you very much for your quick response. But as the INSTALL.TXT says, you are able to test lyx before installing it by starting the program from the "src"-directory (and I really would like to test the installation before installing it because I _need_ LyX).

Working with multiple documents in multiple export formats
Hi there, I've got the following problem(s) (using LyX 1.1.6fix2 on a SuSE 7.0 Linux): I have to write an online-manual as well as an online-help for an application. The task is to create a LyX-document that can be used as a pdf-file (for the online-manual) as well as a HTML-File for the online-Help. My first approach is to do the following: 1.) Create a master-document that basically conatins the online-manual 2.) Create stand-alone documents which describe the different windows of the application (the online-help). 3.) Part I of the online manual ist the manual itself where certain workflows are described. 4.) Part II of the online-manual includes the standalone-documents within the master document so that the user has something like a command reference 5.) The stand alone documents should be exported as HTML-files with cross references beetween them 6.) The master document (with included stand alone documents) should be exported as one pdf-file, where cross-references between the master and the stand alone documents should be possible. It should also be possible to have cross references within the master document itself. First (and uncomplete) testing shows the following results: I created one master-LyX-file and included two other LyX-files. A preview (pdf or dvi) shows the master document but only one (the first) of the included documents. Second problem is: How can I create a link that is valid for both - pdf and html ? Can anybody give me hints where to find more information (I read the manuals :-) concerning this task ? Or does anyone have a little bit more experience with this task ?

LyX and gs 6.5
Hi, a few days ago there was a discussion about LyX and Ghostscript 6.5 on this mailing list. Somebody reported that there are problems concerning the collaboration between LyX and gs 6.5 but - afaik - did not specify them. The problem I have is that included postscript pictures get very ugly when I use the "ps2pdf"-command (that comes with gs 6.5) on a LyX-exported postscript file. They appear quite smeared - on display as well as on paper (but when I have a look at the postscript-file done within LyX via File - Export with a ps-viewer, they're o.k.). Does anybody have the same problem - and maybe a solution for it ? TIA Stephan -- Stephan E.

You can zoom the letters of the postscript document in gv using the middle mouse button. If they become jagged, they're bitmapped. If you have bitmap fonts, select outline fonts by selecting Document Layout/Document and pslatex or times. I think I have to be a little bit more precise: The problem I have has nothing to do with the fonts I use but with included postscript pictures.

LyX and gs 6.5
Hi, a few days ago there was a discussion about LyX and Ghostscript 6.5 on this mailing list. Somebody reported that there are problems concerning the collaboration between LyX and gs 6.5 but - afaik - did not specify them. The problem I have is that included postscript pictures get very ugly when I use the "ps2pdf"-command (that comes with gs 6.5) on a LyX-exported postscript file. They appear quite smeared - on display as well as on paper (but when I have a look at the postscript-file done within LyX via File - Export with a ps-viewer, they're o.k.). Does anybody have the same problem - and maybe a solution for it ? TIA Stephan -- Stephan E.

You can zoom the letters of the postscript document in gv using the middle mouse button. If they become jagged, they're bitmapped. If you have bitmap fonts, select outline fonts by selecting Document Layout/Document and pslatex or times.

Hi Lars, thank you very much for your immediate answer but the problem still occurs after a change to the cua.bind file. More than this: I forgot to mention that not only the "shift arrow" keys don't work anymore, even my ctrl-key seems to be out of order. So any shortkeys I used to use don't work anymore "ctrl - e" to emphasize, "ctrl - l" to mark text as LaTeX and so on. What can I do? Regards, Stephan -- Stephan E.

Close the document in LyX.
Open the document with an editor (like emacs or - if you are a tough guy - vi)

Close the document in your editor.
Reopen the document with LyX.

Hyperref: Defining links
Hi,
I'm just fizzling through the problem to create a hyperlink in a LyX
dcoument. What I was doing is the following:
LyX 1.1.6fix1 on a SuSE 7.0
document class: SGML (LinuxDoc article)
LaTeX preamble: \usepackage{hyperref}
Defined the link target by: \hypertarget{internal name}{displayed name}
(in LaTeX mode)
Defined the link by: \hyperlink{internal name}{displayed name} (in LaTeX
mode)
Then I exported the text by File - Export - HTML but the link doesn't
appear.
What's going wrong ?
Sorry for wasting bandwidth if this question is kind of a faq :-)
Any hints are welcome!
TIA

Thank you, Herbert, for your quick answer.
I changed the preamble as you supposed but the result is stille the
same; that means, in my text the link appears as
\hyperlink{internal name}{displayed name} (just the way I typed it
though I formatted it as LaTeX)

Using latex commands in a SGML document has no sense: the preamble must be
written is SGML that is the actual output format. Besides, to make links
you only need to insert a lyx label and a lyx reference (see the attached
file).
Hello Ben,
thank you very much for your help - it worked!
Remove the \usepacke{...hyperref}-line from the LaTeX preamble and just
put a "Name" in the Insert - References dialog and everything works
pretty will.
Thanks a lot to all who answered my question.

Hi Thomas,
you still can export your file to postscript and then use ps2pdf to

\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={the title of your document},pdfauthor={the

where hyperref gives you links, linkcolor is the color of the links,

Anna Hi Anna, I dont know whether this really helps you but I had no problem to insert it into a LyX-document. I did it via "Insert" - "Picture" - "Encapsulated Postscript" (Im not quite sure whether the menu items are correct; I use the german localization of LyX). Stephan Hi Anna, hm, youre right - it seems I should have taken a more carful look on it: Neither I could see it in the postscript nor in the pdf viewer - but in the dvi-viewer it looks alright. It seems that - displayed as ps or pdf - it is shown just for half a second or so then it disappears - strange... Sorry but I dont know why cu Szephan -- Stephan E.

Re: trouble exporting lyx to pdf and html
Am Montag, 22. Januar 2001 09:11 schrieb Paul E Johnson: First, can you please tell me why my pdf output from Lyx 1.1.6 has such fuzzy looking fonts? http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/ps707/syl01.pdf ??? Hi Paul, a quick view on your file seems to reveal that the fonts are displayed as graphics. I think there could be more than one reason for this: If you´ re using ps2pdf to create your pdf-file, be sure that you´re using ghostscript 5.0. Try to choose another font from Layout - Document (for me, "newcent" works fine but you can also try pslatex Hope this helps! CU Stephan -- Stephan E.
