RE: question
Hi Leo,
You have to write LaTeX code for most typefaces. For example:
\mathfrak{p} \mathbb{R} \mathscr{P} \mathcal{F}
For calligraphy there also exists a shortcut (and it then appears WYSIWYM)
- see section 5.6.1 of the User's Guide. In addition, you can define a
macro (or use \newcommand in the preamble) for commonly used combinations:
\newcommand\R{\mathbb{R}}
Note: for \mathcal,\mathbb,\mathfrak you need the amssymb package (click
'Use AMS Math' in Layout-Document settings). For \mathscr you need
euscript (add \usepackage[mathscr]{euscript} to your preamble).

Obviously, LyX translates the include file command to \Include{file}
instead of \include{file}. This is what LaTeX complains about.
The problem is easily reproducible. Create a LyX file, include another
LyX file via Insert-Include File.
As a workaround you need to include
\newcommand{\Include}[1]{\include{#1}} in the preamble until this is
fixed.

Re: 1.1.6pre3 now?
Chris, The way to do this is to recompile the new lyx under a different name. Get the sources (lyx-1.1.6pre3.tar.gz), untar them. There are two configure switches that help you. One is --with-lyxname, which sets the name for various directories and files (but not the main executable) to something other than 'lyx'. The other is --prefix, which sets the location where everything is installed. You can thus install things in a temporary place, not /usr/local or /usr. What I would do is not install the files to /usr/local, but rather do something like: configure --with-lyxname=lyx-1.1.6pre3 --prefix=~/tmp/lyx-1.1.6pre3 +any other switches you like to add. The --with-lyxname option is useful because then the default ~/.lyx directory name is actually ~/.lyx-1.1.6pre3 (assuming the example above) and thus your lyxrc will not be overwritten. You then run the program from ~/tmp/lyx-1.1.6pre3/bin/lyx (set an alias for that). Note that you can test the program without 'installing' it. Configure --with-lyxname (again to preserve ~/.lyx), and compile with just 'make' (and not 'make install' if you've been using that). Then you can run the exectuable from [wherever the sources are]/src/lyx A final word of caution - if you plan on using tabulars, the file format is being changed right now, so lyx-1.1.6 may not read tabulars written by lyx-1.1.6pre*.

initial enumerate counter value
Hello,
I'd like to have an enumerate environment, starting the count from 5
(rather than 1). The LaTeX effect I'd like to have is:
\begin{enumerate}
\setcounter{enumi}{5}
\item My First Item
\item My Second Item
\end{enumerate}
But in LyX, if I put ERT in the "Enumerate" enivronment, it's put into the
first item and not before it, while if I put it before the start of the
environment it has no effect.
Is there any solution short of manually editing the LaTeX output?
Thanks,
Lior.

Definitely. I did not mean to imply otherwise. But, until we have a
long-term solution, ... :-(
Suggestion: add a lyx-command ("Mini-buffer") to change the pipe name, and
a function to LyXComm to handle this:
void LyXComm::setPipename (string const n_pip)
{
closeConnection();
pipename = n_pip;
openConnection ();
}
Then (by writing the command to the default pipe each time) you can have
several concurrent servers. Note that this will only work if none of these
continues to use the default name (since this pipe is first used by all
instances in this implementation).
Is this too much of a hack also [until we have mutliple windows] ?

The workaround (for lyxrc) is to write (note parenthesis): \set_color "background" "white" . This has since been corrected by JMarc (see http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg13066.html). Current 1.1.5 cvs reflects this update. I don't know about the tarball at the ftp site.

Definitely. I did not mean to imply otherwise. But, until we have a
long-term solution, ... :-(
Suggestion: add a lyx-command ("Mini-buffer") to change the pipe name, and
a function to LyXComm to handle this:
void LyXComm::setPipename (string const & n_pip)
{
closeConnection();
pipename = n_pip;
openConnection ();
}
Then (by writing the command to the default pipe each time) you can have
several concurrent servers. Note that this will only work if none of these
continues to use the default name (since this pipe is first used by all
instances in this implementation).
Is this too much of a hack also [until we have mutliple windows] ?
