RE: \int and esint package

[Vincent van Ravesteijn - TNW]

Dear lyx'ers, I've noticed lyx 1.6.5 automatically adds
the package esint to the preamble whenever the symbol \int
is invoked. Is this really necessary? AFAIK, \int is
included in the standard fonts, but esint is not included
by default in most latex installations. 
r.f.

You can turn this off in Document-Settings-Math Options, Use esint
package automatically.

RE: Enumeration nested in Definition/Proposition...

[Vincent van Ravesteijn - TNW]

Note the lack absence of the Pretext please. Lyx
(on Mac OS Snow Leopard) doesn't let me generate
the second one, without Pretext. Is there an option
or a workaround that I can't find on myself?

Usually the trick is to add a protected space in stead of Pretext, so
Ctrl+Space for instance.

Thanks Micha, that fixes it for me.
I'd love if it would mark the lack of capitalization beginning a
sentence as an error, but no biggie.
I think I'm going to try to use 2.0 fulltime.
Since it seems that it's not backwards compatible, are there any
precautions
I should take? i.e. never open a 1.6.4 file on it?
Best,

It should be backwards compatible, because you can always save your file
in the 1.6.x file format.

Just be warned that there might be serious bugs in 2.0.0 from time to
time.

For now, we do not advice to use it for serious work.

RE: Language selection in Lyx 1.6.x

The lyx support webpages states that one should use Edit - Text Style

Language. However, the option Language doesn't exist under Edit - Text
Style in Lyx 1.6.5. I tried to find such language options in some other
menus but went nuts trying. I could just ignore the blue underlines but

RE: Pre-reform Russian characters in LyX

[Vincent van Ravesteijn - TNW]

The problem arouse when I needed to insert some obsolete Russian
characters that were used before the 20th century. Namely, the letters
yat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yat), fita
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fita) or izhitsa
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izhitsa): if I insert them to LyX via
Character Map,
LyX refuses to produce a pdf, complaining that it can't recognize these
characters. Is there any way to solve this problem?
 
Andrey, 

One possible solution is the following:

1. Try to locate the unicodesymbols file (it's in the LyX's lib/resource
directory, but I'm not sure where this is on Ubuntu).

2. Add a line line

0x0462 \\textcyr{\\char176} textcyr  # CYRILLIC HISTORIC SMALL
LETTER YAT

to this file after the line:

0x045f \\textcyr{\\char182} textcyr  # CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER
DZHE

3. In LyX:

Insert-Special Character-Symbols, Category=Cyrillic.

At the end of the list of symbols shown, there will be a square. This is
your Yat character. If you insert this character in your document it
will be outputted correctly as the yat (although it will look like a
square in LyX).

Alternatively, you can enter in the command buffer: unicode-insert
0462 and probably it will work too when using the Character Map.

Does this work ?

At a first glance, it looks like it crashes in Qt. Any possibility to
upgrade from 4.2.1 to a newer version (4.6 has already the light) ?

RE: Editing equations as latex rather than graphically.

[Vincent van Ravesteijn - TNW]

This way, you can convert an equation to the source text
(which might be desirable for copying as well).

The other way round is already implemented: Mark a valid
math expression (like \sin(x)) and press Ctrl-M.


If you select the math contents and paste it in text, you'll see the
LaTeX code. 

I once made something to convert it to LaTeX and back, but the math
editor is that well that I doubted it would be very useful.

RE: View - OpenDocument command produces empty output - help!

[Vincent van Ravesteijn - TNW]

[examples/splash.lyx] is the document which automatically opens when
user
runs LyX first time after installation. The problem is that the View -
OpenDocument command produces empty output for me. Please help!

Don't use OpenDocument. Use dvi or pdf to preview.

Vincent

RE: View - OpenDocument command produces empty output - help!

[Vincent van Ravesteijn - TNW]

 Yes, dvi and pdf work fine for me. But I want OpenDocument because 
 I'm sending the file to another person and want him to be able to
edit the file. 

 I k now, but don't send your answer SEVEN times ?!?

  The 1st email you could have received came to you only,while I wanted
it come 
 to the lists. Then, my answer came to two lists (developers and users)
three times 
 because that server was slow to display them at the mailing lists'
archives - I thought 
 it failed to receive them and made further attempts. I am sorry for
this. I'll try to wait 
 longer before making conclusions. 


 I am a LyX user and still would appreciate any help on my problem. 
 
Please refrain from sending a request for help to both the devel as the
user-list. First, this is not a specific issue for developers, second
all developers will probably read both lists anyway and will receive
your mails twice.
 
If you really want help for your problem, please try to compose a proper
message. By describing what Splash.lyx is and mentioning that you first
run LyX, I got the impression that you really are a first time user who
didn't know how to get proper output out of LyX.
 
Concerning your problem: Did you try to run oolatex in the command
prompt ? I get the following error:
 
   Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
xtpipes
   Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: xtpipes
 
which is also reported here: 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=2905250group_i
d=10783atid=110783
 
but MikTeX denied the responsibility of the problem. So, if you have
MikTeX 2.8 you'll probably have the same problem. If this is not a
MikTeX problem, it is certainly not a LyX problem. 
 
Maybe someone knows a work-around ?

I enclosed the lyx file.

If you paste the code into LyX, you should use Edit-Paste

RE: Cutting and pasting in tables

[Vincent van Ravesteijn - TNW]

Second, when I use any sort of font formatting inside
a table, say underlining or italics, and then move the
cursor to another cell in the table, LyX assumes that
the formatting for the text in next cell will be the
same as the last formatting I used. 

I think this is fixed in http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/32570.

Even hitting Cmd+e before typing in the next cell
doesn't change the formatting back to normal. The
only way to return formatting to normal is to select
the newly typed text and then toggle Cmd+e.

I've no idea what Cmd+e is supposed to do.

Oh, sorry--forgot to mention that this sticky
formatting persists even when cutting and pasting
or copying objects between cells. As in, select an
italicized letter, cut it, paste it to another cell,
and then try to type in a different cell--the text
will be in italics. This doesn't happen outside of
tables.

As far as I can see, this also happens outside tables.

Hello:

I have been using lyx to creation documentation.
Now, I would like to include a section which is
generated programatically. I see that latex has
the /input{file} construct, but I do not find an
equivalent in lyx.

Try Insert-File-Child document... And select Input as the Include
Type.

RE: XeLaTeX in LyX 1.7/2.0

I wonder if the file format used in trunk (or rather
the lyx2lyx converter that deals with it) is still
unable to revert back to previous versions' file formats. 

What do you mean by unable to revert back ? LyX trunk uses a new file
format (of course) and the older LyXes don't know about the new
fileformat.

Did you try File-Export-LyX 1.6.x ?

Hi Vince,

I was aware that newer versions of LyX use a different file
format.  I meant only that you have to manually export the
document to an older version of LyX.  The lyx2lyx script is
not capable of doing so on its own.


No, that's because you'll have to tell the lyx2lyx script that you want
the 1.6.x file format. It would be wrong to save the documents in 1.6.x
format by default (losing new features on the road).

I did---at the time---and it did not work as advertised.
So there was no way I could  stop using Lyx 2.0 at a later
point.

If it doesn't work, that's a serious bug and we would like to hear it so
we can fix it. At all times, trunk should be able to export to the older
fileformats.
