Poster is strongly recommended for most mailing lists. This option controls what Mailman does to the Reply-To: header in messages flowing through this mailing list. When set to Poster, no Reply-To: header is added by Mailman, although if one is present in the original message, it is not stripped. Setting this value to either This list or Explicit address causes Mailman to insert a specific Reply-To: header in all messages, overriding the header in the original message if necessary (Explicit address inserts the value of reply_to_address). There are many reasons not to introduce or override the Reply-To: header. One is that some posters depend on their own Reply-To: settings to convey their valid return address. Another is that modifying Reply-To: makes it much more difficult to send private replies. See `Reply-To' Munging Considered Harmful for a general discussion of this issue. See Reply-To Munging Considered Useful for a dissenting opinion. Some mailing lists have restricted posting privileges, with a parallel list devoted to discussions. Examples are `patches' or `checkin' lists, where software changes are posted by a revision control system, but discussion about the changes occurs on a developers mailing list. To support these types of mailing lists, select Explicit address and set the Reply-To: address below to point to the parallel list." The overwhelming majority of mailing lists do the right thing (IMNSHO) by leaving the Reply-To alone. Best regards, ---Kayvan -- Kayvan A.

You can get RPMs built on Redhat FC4 at ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/release/
Only for QT so far... If anyone wants the xforms ones, I can create them
easily.
So far, I have x86_64 RPMs, but you should be able to get the src.rpm and
do an "rpmbuild --rebuild" for other architectures, or you can wait
a bit and I will create the i586 versions.

I think that you can use the math panel and then click on the button that
looks like a blue box surrounded by brackets. Then you can change the left
bracket to your braces and change the right one to blank.
In the inner blue square, insert a math matrix and fill in the parts.

You can put
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{apacite}
into the LaTeX preamble. The seconf \usepackage{babel} inserted by
LyX will be ignored.
That way, you won't need to change the generated tex file.

Put the following in your LaTeX preamble:
% RCS style.
\def\RCSdef $#1${\typeout{RCS keyword string: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: {} :.}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: #2 :#3.{\expandafter\def\csname RCS#1\endcsname{#2}}
Then, in your document (or in your preamble), do:
\RCSdef $Revision$
\RCSdef $Date$
Now, you can use \RCSRevision or \RCSDate in your document (in a
LaTeX ERT inset).

What is this tex template? Is it a sample thesis or a TeX/LaTeX sty file?
If it is the former, then you should be able to just follow the same
style recommendations inside LyX without problems. If it is the latter,
it may be as simple as a "\usepackage{...}" statement in the document
preamble.
In either case, I think the LyX developers and users would need more
information to help you.

My guess is that something has changed in your page margins or something

Maybe it's not LyX, but LaTeX?
I had a similar problem with the CVS lyx and had to apply the following patch:

I run with the environment variable LYX_NO_CYGPATH_FIX defined

Yes, I use tables and insets and undo. I do get crashes, but I save
a lot and I just expect crashes (since I am using evolving software).
I guess this all depends on your definition of "usable", then. This is
part of my contribution to LyX: being a continuous tester of the latest
CVS software (and building it every day on three different platforms).

What goes wrong? Why? The files are not found. Apparently the newest Cygwin tetex no longer likes the c:/cygwin/home/blah/blah paths and simply expects the paths to be in normal Unix fashion (e.g. /home/blah/blah).

Under Cygwin, LyX already attempts to fix the path (for all exported
files, paths to pictures, etc). The fix is to output the Windows name
(e.g. "C:/Cygwin/Home/Kayvan/foo.lyx") for all file references.
This does not work when the underlying TeX installation is
the newest version of tetex for Cygwin.
In fact, I had to add the following hack to src/support/os_win32.c to get
around this issue:
$ cvs diff -u src/support/os_win32.C

Yeah... You know, this used to work correctly in Cygwin too. Now it always

Use ERT with multicol.
See the "Multiple Columns" section in Extended.lyx
Baically, put \usepackage{multicol} in the preamble, then do
a \begin{multicols}{2} right when you want the 2-column to be (right after
the abstract) and do \end{multicols} where you want it to end.

Re: lyx and noweb
Try doing a Reconfigure (I think it's in the Edit or Preferences menu). LyX should then see your new latex classes (related to noweb). You can email me if you have any problems.

Hi Max, This is due to a problem with config/libtool.m4 that was introduced by a faulty checkin (spaces were changed to tabs). If you look in the lyx-devel archives for the past week or so, you can see some cygwin related patches which you should be able to apply to lyx-1.3.1 which will fix the problem (as well as allow you to build using gcc3). If you can not find the patch, email me and I will send it to you. ---Kayvan -- Kayvan A.

This probably happened because you left acrobat running and tried to exit LyX. Here's what happens: 1) Within LyX, you do: View->PDF. 2) Acrobat starts up, reading your file. 3) You exit LyX. It tries to delete the temp directory, but it can't (Acrobat is open and using it). There is nothing that LyX can do for this. Just exit Acrobat Reader first. -- Kayvan A.

Yes. I use LyX almost every day for Literate Programming.
Norman just needs to install noweb (just follow the links from www.lyx.org
to the Noweb related pages) and run Edit->Reconfigure to get the
Literate document classes to show up.
After that, he can look at examples/listerrors.lyx or examples/noweb2lyx.lyx
to see how it works.

The "literate" classes refer to a hybrid document combining documentation and programming source. This "literate program" can then be processed in two ways: one produces beautiful documentation and the second produces program source code. Its genesis is in the works of Donald Knuth's original (Pascal) WEB language in which he wrote TeX. You need to have the "noweb" system installed to have the "literate" classes work. You can use the article or book class for literary texts without problem. ---Kayvan -- Kayvan A.

You should insert \iffalse ... \fi in the right places in your

I assume you are installing the RPM.
The thing to do in cases like this is usually to rebuild the RPM
from the srpm. Grab the lyx-{version}.src.rpm file and do:
rpm --rebuild lyx-{version}.src.rpm
Then install the resulting RPM.

No, TeX won't find it there unless you add the directory to TEXINPUTS or move it into a directory that TeX usually looks in (and run "texhash"). ---Kayvan [[ Available for consulting. http://www.sylvan.com/~kayvan/Resume.html ]] -- Kayvan A.

Can you compile outside of LyX and run the error output through listerrors
and see if your listerrors works?
Which version of LyX (RPM versions contain listerrors already)?
By the way, listerrors is no longer needed in 1.2.0. It is replaced by
a python program that lives in LYXDIR/scripts (not in /usr/bin)

This should work. What is in your ~/.lyx/ directory?

LyX calls LaTeX, and if you have your environment variables set correctly, it should work. I can only think of one situation in which you would see this behavior: If you set TEXINPUTS in a shell and then use a Window-manager button to launch LyX. Then your LyX will be operating with the environment you had when you started your desktop, not what you set in the shell. Try running it from the same shell that you successfully did a latex of cluster.tex. The first thing you should do is Edit->Reconfigure and then try. -- Kayvan A.

Okay, Do this: Set the LaTeX stuff up in a private directory (/some/directory).
