Hi all,
In the past, some exporters have implemented the custom of not
indenting the first of several successive paragraphs by using a
different class of paragraph for the first of a series of paragraphs.
This way of doing things makes more work for the person writing the
export, and more work for the person converting the export to
acceptable ePub, because those special classes will need to be backed
out or otherwise specially handled.
Not indenting the first of a series of paragraphs is easily
accomplished by the following two lines of CSS:
p::first-letter{margin-left: 3em;}
:not(p) + p::first-letter{margin-left:0.0001em;}
Let CSS decide which is the first of several consecutive paragraphs,
and let CSS define what to do with that paragraph. Make it easy on
everybody.
I took an hour to figure this out. Could somebody please take 3
minutes to forward it to the developer's list and also the person
who is writing the HTML export?
Thanks,

I'd suggest that you file a bug/enhancement report at
https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome (including the LyX
version you are using and exact steps to reproduce the problem).
Like I said, I spent an hour getting that code just right. I did the
hard part, I did my part. In the time you took to respond to me, you
could have forwarded my email.
I don't have time to learn the quirks of every project's bugtracker,
type in information that's not relevant, and hope somebody looks at it.
At a lot of projects, the bugtracker is where requests go to die
(Bluefish, you listening?).
If I could change one thing about FOSS it would be to get rid of
bugtrackers and work directly with the user. That's what we did at
VimOutliner, and bugs got solved and requests got implemented very
quickly.

Re: lyx not a readable Lyx document
Yes and no, LyX 2.4 uses a different format from 2.3 and hence the (2.3) lyx2lyx does not know the new (2.4) format (yet). That happens during (almost) every major upgrade and the developers then usually "backport" that so I would think the eventual 2.3.6.3 (or 2.3.7) will be able to read the 2.4 format. el On 2022-04-08 08:18 , Wolfgang Engelmann via lyx-users wrote: Am 08.04.22 um 07:21 schrieb Dr Eberhard Lisse via lyx-users: An older version of lyx2lyx can't know about newer formats? el On 2022-04-07 09:55 , Wolfgang Engelmann via lyx-users wrote: [...] I remember, that one does not need a lyx2lyx in the same version, here 2.4.x Has this changed?

Re: EPUB converter
Ken,
where is the missing link :-)-O?
This is great news.
I am actually waiting for 2.4 and DocBook to convert my 859
page "handbook" to EPUB so my staff and I can carry it around on our
Kindles (App on iPad actually).
But, I would be very keen to see how your package works.
My little handbook doesn't really need anything fancier than a few
images (JPG, PNG and PDF).
I also use (in one (common) "include.tex") something like
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\newbool{business}
\boolfalse{business}
\newbool{private}
\booltrue{private}
but if that (see your below remark) were not to work I can address that
via a Makefile and different include (front matter) files as you seem to
be doing.
Maybe you can look into that, because then you can have a single include
file by putting something like this into a Makefile
bus:
@perl -i -p \
-e 's/\\boolfalse\{business\}/\\booltrue\{business\}/g;' \
-e 's/\\booltrue\{private\}/\\boolfalse\{private\}/g;' \
include.tex
@lyx -f -e pdf5 handbook.lyx
priv:
@perl -i -p \
-e 's/\\booltrue\{business\}/\\boolfalse\{business\}/g;' \
-e 's/\\boolfalse\{private\}/\\booltrue\{private\}/g;' \
include.tex
@lyx -f -e pdf5 handbook.lyx
and then use something like
\ifbool{business}{}{\include{business.tex}}
\ifbool{private}{\include{private.tex}}{}
as ERT.
Looks complicated, is complicated, but once it works no further
touching required.

But, LUA is really cool.
You can put simple stuff into the preamble like
\usepackage{luacode}
\begin{luacode*}
socket = require "socket"
function hostname()
local hname = socket.dns.gethostname():gsub('.local','' )
return hname
end
\end{luacode*}
\newcommand\hostname{\directlua{tex.sprint(hostname())}}
which then makes the name of the box you are compiling to PDF on (which
I like in my little handbook) available to ERT (or footers defined in
the preamble).
And more complicated stuff, from calculating Expected Date of Delivery
from Last Menstrual Period, Body Mass Index from weight and height, or
even calculating the nearest Friday of a calculated date (thanks
Herbert :-)-O), access to the differend SQL databases and whatnot.
Of course one can do most of that also in R with knitR but that has
a lot of overhead.

Re: Glitch (bug?) in 2.3.6.1 [FIXED]
Or use curly braces.
But why would you do this with ERT in the first place?
Instead of \textdegree{} I just used the first character from
Insert -> Symbols -> Superscripts
and Subscripts and get ⁰C.
Never mind that this not only was not an MWE. as you not only don't need
the graphic, it also had an absolute path so wasn't found until manually
changed and a number of lines in the Preamble, some of which are even
superfluous during the non MWE run (like the graphicx one)

"For want of a nail the shoe was lost. ..." Here, substitute space

The error message is because LaTeX thinks you are invoking the
nonexistent command \textdegreeC.
Paul,
Well, shame on me for not seeing that! I've used a space elsewhere in
the document and missed the lack of a space in the figure caption.
Thanks for successfully applying the fresh eyes solution.
Regards,
Rich

But I am curious what the issue is. I have just created a KOMA-script book with a reference using biblatex-spbasic (attached) and compiled it with LuaTeX and it just worked. No need for preamble or preferences to set. Maybe I am missing some feature that you were using? Or what is it in particular that was tricky to accomplish?

Re: Graphic file formatsx
Steve, On the Mac I do brew install --cask pdf-squeezer works well, and so I bought the license. Comes even with a command line utility so it went straight into the Makefile :-)-O I must confess, I have a 3.9 MB accounting software of which I only need the installation part which is 6 pages, so I use qpdf to pull out those, making 75K. brew install qpdf Besides not having answered (timed) how long it takes, I would personally, besides looking at shrinkers, int he first instance look at how the sucker is generated and work on that. I save my images on R with ggplot2::ggsave and the help page shows: device Device to use. Can either be a device function (e.g. png), or one of "eps", "ps", "tex" (pictex), "pdf", "jpeg", "tiff", "png", "bmp", "svg" or "wmf" (windows only). I however, put the R chunks into my LyX files so that the images are generated on the fly (knitR). You asked in another message how many words my handbook has. It has 25 child documents and I don't know how to run the stats from the comand line, but the result has 950 pages. As I wrote elsewhere when working on a chapter I can compile that child document separately which takes 5-10 seconds and look at that before running the Makefile. Works for me. greetings, el On 08/12/2021 19:37, Steve Litt wrote: Rich Shepard said on Wed, 8 Dec 2021 07:51:56 -0800 (PST) On Wed, 8 Dec 2021, Dr Eberhard Lisse wrote: For my big handbook (which takes 110 seconds to compile (70 on the M1)) I have split this into child documents which compile individually within 10 to 15 seconds.
