Recent odd behaviour with ASCII import, protected blanks, and LyX-Code

2000-12-04 Thread Roger Williams

I've had an odd problem with the LyX-Code paragraph environment for
the past few LyX versions (since 1.1.4, perhaps?).

When I import (or paste) ASCII text into any environment, a sequence
of N spaces preceding text is shown on the screen as N-1 (blue)
protected blanks followed by one ordinary space.  Odd but OK.

If I look at the DVI output for this imported text in a Standard
paragraph environment, the protected blanks remain protected
(i.e. they indent).  However, if I change the paragraph format to
LyX-Code, the screen display still shows protected blanks, but all
protected blanks have been removed in the DVI output.

(If I *type* protected blanks in the LyX-Code environment, they don't
show up as blue protected blanks on the screen, and they work properly
in the DVI output; i.e. they indent.)

I'm currently using LyX 1.1.6pre1 with tetex-latex-1.0.6-11, but this
behaviour has persisted over several previous LyX versions.

The behaviour is puzzling, because it is roughly reversed from the
expected behaviour.  With the source code documentation I'm working on
at the moment, however, it's extremely annoying because I have to
extensively edit all code I import (delete the "protected blanks" and
replace them with ordinary spaces).  Any ideas?

I've found that the easiest thing is usually to view the PS file with
gv or another PostScript previewer, use the cursors to identify the X
and Y extents of the portion of the figure you wish to use, and then
use your favourite text editor to edit the "%%BoundingBox:" comment in
the PS file (by convention, it'll be near the top; if it's not there,
add one).

This step usually takes all of about 30 seconds per figure...

  1. Use XV to grab a window (an 800x800 Xemacs window);

  2. Save the grabbed file as full-colour (24-bit) TIFF (you could
 save it as a greyscale TIFF if you didn't need to make a PDF
 file or print it to a colour printer);

  3. Convert to EPS with "tiff2ps -e file.tiff  file.eps";

How are you generating the EPS file?

You're not attempting to scale the image outside of LyX, are you?

Recommendations for software manual production?

1999-11-12 Thread Roger Williams

Hi --

We are starting a new software project, for which we have to produce
manuals in manpage, HTML, and PDF formats.  We're lazy, so we'd like
to generate these output formats from a single set of source files;
and we already use LyX for our other documentation, so we'd like to
use it to generate the source documents.

Given the state LyX is at now, what recommendations can any of you
offer for the best approach to use for this?  DocBook?  We're
comfortable with LaTeX, but don't have any experience with SGML.

(And if Lyx-DocBook sounds like the preferred approach, is there
anyone who has got DocBook + Jade + SGMLTools to peacefully coexist on
Linux RH6?  Prokopis?  Drop me email if you got this working.)

\tilde, \bar, and \vec.

I don't think that there's a way to do this from a menu, though.

Use a real schematic capture tool, like the one in gEDA
