\usepackage{algorithm} and "Export as TeX"
Hi there! I'm just trying to convert my thesis into pdf and recently had efforts using hyperref and LyX's export as TeX function (unfortunately using hyperref within the LyX's LaTeX preambel was unsuccessful). Funny, though, that all algorithm floats had its caption below the (LyX)-code and not at its top (this is the standard way and LyX produces DVI files that look correct, only LaTeX does not!)... Perhaps this has something to do with hyperref which does not seem to support algorithm references (I also need a workaround for this sooner or later). Is there someone who already solved this behaviour? Any help is greatfully appreciated! TIA, Frank -- web: http://www.FrankMahler.de/

Have a look at the attached LyX file. I used a 3 x _2_ dimensional array
with left aligned columns to arrange the values and the if's (BTW: I
think a centered/left aligned arrangement could look even nicer?!). The
only problem I had was the quite small space between the
text-in-math-mode if's and the math-stuff right after, so I inserted two
"hard spaces" (evil and ugly but gives good looking results, IMHO).
Hope this helps...

No idea. Don't use anything similar to LyX, use LyX instead :-)
I'm writing my master's thesis with it and am very happy having LyX to
do so! Since now I can't even think of any other tool to write it this
comfortable.

Well, how can I influence the citation style? I had no option to use
"plain" as you mentioned. I just did a \usepackage{cite} in the
preambel. The "alphabetical" order was manually done by me, when I
entered the references within LyX, so there was no "magic" behind the
scenes...
So give me another hint, please...

sorted citations?
Hi there! I just came across to have a closer look to my citations at the end of my thesis I wrote with LyX and its (say TeX's) article layout. I'm using the cite-package to have "compressed" citation references (e.g., [4-6,9]) and LyX's feature(s) to use it... Within LyX's "References" environment I sorted the sources alphabetically, just to have a more sophisticated way to get around, what I inserted earlier. But, what I really want, is some sorting mechanism that starts with [1] for the first reference that occurs in the text. So LyX (better: TeX) has to rearrange the entries within the bibliography part to have the same order as the references I made within the text... I hope, you understand what I want. Of course I can manually "scan" the text and rearrange the bibliography to suit the arrangement of citations in the text. But I really think that nowadays these things should be done automatically. I already tried the [sort] or [nosort] options of the cite-package with no effort (I can see no difference). Perhaps there's some LaTeX magic to put around LyX's bibliography environment (I'm not afraid of 'evil red text'!). Any help is greatfully appreciated. TIA, Frank -- ...

1.1.5pre3-problems
Hi *! I just tried the quite new 1.1.5pre3 LyX. I recognized the newly inserted menu entries TOC and Refs. For my thesis I use a master document that includes all chapters (though it's article layout). When I click Refs, LyX tries to open all included documents (which succeeds, as far as I can recognize) but then gives a SIGSEGV. There's another problem with the "change bullet"-option. I cannot see, that a bullet changed (although it did in the correspondig DVI LyX created) when clicking one of the buttons LyX presents me... Another problem: selecting text with Shift-Ctrl-Arrow left/right sometimes gives "buggy" selections and causes LyX to segfault after typing backspace or the text that should replace the selection. Besides these, LyX still is a very great program. I can't imagine, how I would write my thesis without having it! cul8r, Frank -- web: http://www.FrankMahler.de/ mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My apologies, I didn't understand how complex your document was. You can try to insert a cross reference within the masterfile. Then LyX opens all included chapterfiles and updates its cross-reference-list. You'll have to do this only once. Then you should go to the chapterfile, where your cross-reference goes. The cross-reference-popup now contains all references of all included documents (at least since Version 1.1.4-something).

LyX on PalmOS?
Hi there! This might be a wild development idea for future LyX enhancement, but I really can think of a portable LyX editor for my Palm Vx. Using it, I'd be able to create or edit small LyX documents without the need to convert from ASCII to LyX and back... Obviously, math typesetting and WYSIWYM display is a problem (bold text is possible on Palm, italics are not?), but this might be "overkill". Are there any plans to port LyX to such platforms? Or is there perhaps another "workaround"? I can think of a LyX to ASCII and ASCII to LyX application that is able to synchronize between concurrent updates, in a way, that I'd be able to export my LyX document to an editor application on my palm, edit it there and convert it back to a LyX document. Obviously I'd not be able to create formulas and/or insert graphics using this method, but that'll be not that important, at least for me. What do you think of this idea? Illusion? (BTW: I've heard some whistles on Qt for Console, perhaps, this is an option further to PalmOS when the GUI-independent LyX comes true in the near future?!) Let the discussion begin... :-) ...

Typesetting abbrevations and possible LyX automagics
Hi there! I just had a discussion on how to typeset abbrevations in TeX in the german group de.comp.text.tex. In german you should set the abbrevation z. B. as follows: here starts the text z.\,B.\ here comes the rest of the text... So in LyX I have to mark \, and \[space] as ERT (evil red text), to get good looking results, esp. regarding multicolumn environments with justified borders... I would like a special feature in LyX that typesets these abbrevations automatically. This could be quite nifty! (Unfortunately this only seems a nice feature for german typesetting, because in english texts, e.g. abbrevations are typset "compressed") Good idea (TM) or to bad to programme?

Unfortunately this is the wrong approach, at least when using computer
modern fonts for math typesetting. Try to press M-c r (which is the
english mapping for font-roman, german users which use de_menus.bind
should press M-z r), this gives you a \mathrm encapsulation for the
letters typed afterwards. Any "math" operator switches the font back, so
check twice if your letters m and s are "upright" and not "italics".
On the other hand, if you type a dimension within your floating text,
you should use the same font as in the text itself. Here the
text-mathmode might be a good choice.
Or use \usepackage{mathptm} (or {mathptmx}) to use Times as the math
font. Then your measurements should look the same as the rest
(disregarding \mathrm or \textrm).

Frank

Exactly the same thing happens with EPS images generated by gimp. That sounds weird. What "complaints" do you get? Perhaps this is a /path/to/my/epsfile problem, that's been discussed here every now and then. The easiest solution maybe is to put the eps files in the same directory as your lyx file.

In formulas cm-fonts are used. The use of \usepackge{mathptm} or
{mathptmx} is a solution, but not always wanted. This way pdflatex
produces much better output than ps2pdf.
Unfortunately there's no pdf distiller that can use compression, so
Unix-made pdf's are typically around 30-40% larger than those, that
acrobat's distiller produces under Windows...
So the proposal of Horst G. Kausch (Message-ID:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) is what I'd really like to have
in some future version of LyX !

Hmmm, quite tricky. I've appended a LyX file, second and third version

Perhaps you should omit the brackets and use a tabular layout like I did

There are handled a bit more complicated than you described above, but it works. Sure, the WYSIWYM layout is not that "clear" as with eps-files which is due to the fact, that LyX does not know how the minipage will look like in Real World (TM), before it has been rendered by LaTeX. With eps files this step is done via Ghostscript in a background process, so LyX DOES know about the appearance of the eps file. Future enhancements could---perhaps?---render the minipage seperately (is that really possible with LaTeX?) and insert the resulting dvi-file (better: eps-file) in a LyX environment similar to included eps-files.

Still one popup (or call it dialog box?) behaves strange when I fit it to full screen height: Open the Insert cross-reference dialog, there appears a name-box (I cannot use it, what's it good for?). This field resizes very bad and then covers about 90% of the list box and therefore makes it unreadable. But, to say that again. Wow, a lot happend since 0.10.7 I wrote my thesis for a diploma with. Now time has come to write my master's thesis, I'm very glad to have LyX. A collegue writes with Word (uaahhhrgh...), anotherone tries it with Scientific Word (quite good)... Both call it a curse :-\ cul8r, Frank -- while (!asleep()) sheep++;
Different page numbering for toc, abstract, preface...
Hi there!
I'm about to write more and more for my master thesis with LyX (as I did
for my thesis for a diploma). Since the pages around the "real content"
are growing (table of contents, abstract, thanksgivings, ...), I'd
really like to use another numbering scheme for those pages, i. e. small
roman numbers (i, ii, iii, ...)
Eventually those numbers should restart with an arabic number "1" on the
first right page of the first chapter (section, I use the article
layout).
I think, I can put some \renewcommand{} instructions in LaTeX mode into
my document, but have no idea, how that is done (I'm no TeXpert at
all!).
So there's anyone out there, who can help me?
TIA,
Frank

German umlauts in math equations, again...
Hi there! I just made an upgrade to Suse-6.2 and am finally able to enter german umlauts in math-text-mode. Unfortunately when I save and then re-load the document again, all umlauts are gone! So I think this is a bug :-) I'd really like to use umlauts in math equation, so, is there a solution to this in the near future? Again: LyX is great! cul8r, Frank -- while (!asleep()) sheep++;

Sure. You'll have to fiddle with the LaTeX-Preamble, but it's not that
complicated.
Just add the following to lines:
\@addtoreset{equation}{section}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{\thesection.\arabic{equation}}
This sets a dot between the current section number and does the (normal)
arabic numbering scheme for your formulas. Sure you want to start the
numbering with 1 when a new section begins, so you have to use the
\@addtoreset directive, to "reset" the numbering with each section.
> Also is it possible to do this for figures and tables?
Replace the phrases {\theequation} with {\thetable}, {\thefigure} and
{equation} with {table}, {figure} and don't forget to adapt the
\@addtoreset command as well.
To the others in this list:
--> What about (another feature for the next version?) a dialog box to
handle this behaviour? I think, it's quite common to use the mentioned
numbering scheme with larger documents? Or is it worth to be added to an
FAQ?
To Michael: Hope this helps!

Frank

Re: German Umlaute in math mode.
Hi Jean-Marc, hi all... > In fact, since 1.0.3pre4, it is possible to enter 8bit characters if > your keyboard has them (thanks to Leonid Zeitlin). The compose key or > LyX own accent support do not work, though. If I understand you right, it should be possible to enter, e.g. an 'ö' within math mode? Well, I can't get it (I use a fresh compiled 1.0.3pre4 from May, 21, 1999)... Any suggestions? I'd definitely like this feature! yours, Frank
Reproducable Segfault with "Notes in Formulas"
Hi there! I just found a reproducable segfault-bug in LyX-1.0.3pre2 (sorry, did not try the most current release -- perhaps later this day...). I create a displayed math formula. Then, within math mode, I hit 'M-e n' which is insert note (I use LANG=de). What happens is an inserted yellow "Note"-box in front of the formula (which is ok, I think) -- the formula itself gets left adjusted (although I made it display style, it should stay centered!). I enter a note and close the dialog box. Then the cursor is located between the inserted note-box and the math (math mode is left after inserting the note). I hit Backspace and LyX segfaults. When I insert the note outside of the math-mode, everything is fine (except the left adjusted display math, in the dvi file everything is fine again). When I move the cursor after erraneously inserting a note from within math mode, I can delete the note box with backspace later on without crashing LyX! So there are strange things goin' on (TM), hope you can come around with my description... But, again! LyX is great stuff and I really wonder, what other text processor I would use for writing my thesis with (I see all those cursing collegues using Word :->>>)... BTW: Is it really necessary to enable the note insertion from within math mode? Perhaps you could easily disable this option and everything will be fine (in fact I inserted the note erraneously and wanted to type M-e m, which is insert label in the german keyboard layout). cul8r, Frank

Sorry, no idea, but a workaround... Create seperate LyX documents, one for each multiline formula you need and set the page layout to empty. Then create dvi files with File/Export dvi and use dvips -E foo.dvi -o foo.eps to create eps files of your multiline equations. Then you can insert those equations as eps graphics in your table cells... hth, Frank -- "After 49.7 days of continuous operation, your Windows 95-based computer may stop responding (hang)."

German locale with 1.1.2? (was Re: Announce: LyX 1.1.1)
Hi Jean-Marc, hi all! Jean-Marc wrote on a mail I posted earlier: > Did you run 'make install'? [...] Yes... > [...] I thought those locale problems had been > fixed already... As a work around, you can try to set the variable > LYX_LOCALEDIR to /usr/local/share/locale, or whatever place it has > been installed in. It has been installed in /usr/local/share/locale, to be precise in a subdirectory de/LC_MESSAGES. Unfortunately no combination of LANG and LYX_LOCALEDIR gives me german menus :-( Sorry for my late answer: This "bug" remains even in LyX-1.1.2 that I just tested. Any hints? culr8, Frank -- while (!asleep()) sheep++;
