Math symbol displayed incorrectly on screen
Hi, I am using LyX 1.5.5 on Linux. In math mode, \cdot appears as \times should (as an 'X' shape) on the screen. The dvi output is fine -- \cdot appears as a centred dot. I have attached a sample lyx file which has this problem. Is this a known problem? What would be a workaround? Which configuration file(s) control(s) LyX's display of math symbols on the screen? Thanks, Philip bugreport.lyx Description: application/lyx
LyX badges?
Hi, Are there any "I use LyX" or "Powered by LyX" kind of logos available to put on a website? Thanks, Philip

Text in table is all boldface
Hi, I am using Lyx 1.5.4, and all text that I put in any table turns up as boldface in the dvi/pdf output. See the attached file. How do I make this text to appear as normal fonts, except for the first row where I do want the text to appear as bold? Thanks, Philip table_boldface.lyx Description: application/lyx

I removed the version of LyX 1.5.3 that caused this problem and installed LyX 1.5.4 from "deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/emiscabpo/lyx15-bpo ./" as the wiki article suggested, but the problem did not go away. I wasted a couple of hours till it struck my sysadmin to run Tools -> Reconfigure : then the error went away. Looks like it is a good thing to remind people to reconfigure LyX after upgrading/reinstalling. A better thing would be to have the reconfiguring built into the upgrade/reinstall process. Thanks for your help. -- Philip

LyX 1.5.3 issue : article.layout not usable
Hi, I got LyX 1.5.3 installed today from the deb package at http://lyx.cybermirror.org/bin/1.5.3/lyx_1.5.3-1_i386_etch.deb . When I start up LyX and try to open any article (even the one at Help -> Latex Configuration) I get the error message "The layout file requested by this document, article.layout, is not usable. ... LyX will not be able to produce output." and I am not able to get any output from LyX, as the message says. The configuration log (after I run Tools -> Reconfigure) reports the report class and a lot of the other common classes as missing. The corresponding layout files are, however, present in /usr/share/lyx/layouts/ . And anyway my previous LyX installation (1.4.3) was working just fine before I to this upgrade done. Please help me get LyX back working properly. Thanks, Philip

I made a small change to the layout file you sent, and it works
wonderfully now. Except that I somehow have a feeling that it is an ugly
hack... I have attached the layout that works -- both for the LyX
display and for the generated outputs.
Thanks for your help.

This is a bug of sorts in the 1.5 layout system, I expect. The problem
is that the preamble later gets redefined and your bit gets
over-written. Try adding this at the end:
Style Theorem
Preamble
\usepackage{amsthm}
\theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}
EndPreamble
End
I think that'll work.
Thanks, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I added this snippet to the
end of the amsreport layout file, but the error persists.
One thing I noticed in the output tex file was that the very first lines
are like the following:
\documentclass[english]{report}
...
...
...
\usepackage{amssymb}
The corresponding lines in the .lyx file are:
\lyxformat 276
\begin_document
\begin_header
\textclass amsreport
How does this \usepackage{amssymb} invocation get included in the tex
preamble right at the top? I didn't include this in the preamble of the
document. It is not mentioned in the amsreport.layout file, nor in the
three files that this file "Inputs" : stdclass.inc, amsmaths-seq.inc,
and numreport.inc. How does LyX know to include this invocation then?
Perhaps I can modify the file which causes this line to be included to
serve my purpose?
Thanks,
Philip
Contents of Preamble...EndPreamble in Layout not being output to tex file
Hi,
I am trying to use the following layout file, which rgheck kindly
provided me, to typeset my document.
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[report]{amsreport}
Format 4
Input stdclass.inc
Input amsdefs.inc
Input numreport.inc
Style Bibliography
TopSep4
LabelString "Bibliography"
LabelFont
Series Bold
SizeHuge
EndFont
End
The problem with this layout is that it prepends the number of the
relevant subsection to the number of each theorem, definition, etc. I
want to get sequential numbering for theorem etc., without the
subsection numbers.
For this I changed "Input amsdefs.inc" to "Input amsmaths-seq.inc" (as
suggested by rgheck), after which I got an error saying \theoremstyle is
not defined. When I checked the tex file exported by LyX, I saw that
indeed \theoremstyle is being used without any package that defines it
being imported.
So I added the following lines after the Format line and before the
Input lines:
---
Preamble
\usepackage{amsthm}
\theoremstyle{plain}
\newtheorem{buha}{Buha}
EndPreamble
---
(I added the invocations to \theoremstyle and \newtheorem just for
testing).
When I reconfigure, restart LyX and generate a tex file from my
document, the tex file does not contain the contents of this preamble
anywhere -- the Preamble...EndPreamble block is completely being ignored
by LyX.
Please help me fix this : I want to have "\usepackage{amsthm}" included
somewhere near the very beginning of the output tex file, so that it is
present before the first invocation of \theoremstyle --- puting
"\usepackage{amsthm}" in the document preamble doesn't help, so I guess
it must be somewhere withing the layout file.
Thanks,
Philip
Re: Is there an AMS report class for LyX?
This is fixed now. See the layout file attached. The fix was to add:
Preamble
\usepackage{amsthm}
EndPreamble
to the layout file.
Yes, sorry. That's elsewhere in the ams class files. Put that in the
theorem environment and it will be picked up elsewhere, too.
Put what in the theorem environment? How do I put something in the
theorem environment(Without root permissions)?

No, there's nothing like this at the moment. But the attached will do.
