from:"Stefan"


Dear List,

I'm using Fedora 14 (32 bit version), LyX 2.0.0-0.11.beta3.fc14. 
Upgrading to LyX 2.0.0-0.21.rc3.fc14, I encountered several problems 
which forced me to downgrade back to LyX 2.0.0-0.11.beta3.fc14.


I now, however, have the problem that I cannot open any of my previous 
documents as LyX complains that ...file is from a newer version of LyX 
and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it.


I have my most important files exported as Lyx 1.6 files, so I can work 
on them, but I was wondering if there is an easy way for me to convert 
all my Lyx 2 RC3 files to a format that Lyx 2 Beta 3 will read, without 
me having to install Lyx 2 RC 3 again.


Kind regards,

Stefan

Which problems did you encounter ? We might need to fix these.

If there are really problems introduced after beta3 that make rc3 unusable,
this is really serious.

You can download the lyx2lyx script:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/export/38473/lyx-devel/trunk/lib/lyx2lyx/lyx_2_0.py
and install it in the lib/lyx2lyx directory.

Thank you Vincent, will try and copy the script.

As for the errors, the main thing was that I was experiencing several
spontaneous crashes which I had not experienced with RC3. Nothing that
resulted in data loss, though. The other issue (the main one that made
me downgrade), I have a document which previously rendered as PDF (using
latex2pdf) which now suddenly complains that latex cannot determine
image size (no bounding box). Unfortunately, this problem has persisted
after downgrading, so I might have been wrong in assuming that it was
the upgrade that caused the error.

For now, I am using ps2pdf to render the document, but all image size
are out of whack. E.g. Doubling the size of an image has no effect in
the rendered document. Image fles are all SVGs, but I have tried
replcing them with PNG, EPS and PDF, to no avail.

Kind regards,

Stefan

Hyphenation really messed up for german text

2011-01-09 Thread Stefan


Hi!

I am using Lyx 1.6.8 on a Gentoo amd64 (hardened) profile. This is my
first post here and I tried to find a non-hackish approach to fix my
problem but failed:

I am writing a german text which results in a pdf of about 50 pages, all
is working fine but the hyphenation is really in bad shape:

For example, the word grenzt was hyphenated and since it has only one
syllable in german it is not to be hyphenated at all. But this is not the
only problem. I had in a previous essay of about 40 pages about three
cases of the same problem and I thought nevermind and ctrl+- to fix
this. This time, there is a problem on almost every single page and it is
too much to fix manually. The language is set to german, the spellchecking
is done in german, but the hyphenation is not, in my oppinion.

non-standard-german-word of persons from being hyphenated?

Re: Lyx mailing list: problem with fancyhdr

Hi all,

 Additionally I have a small question which I could not find in the
 forum: Occasionally (4 lines in 100 pages) a line overwrites the right
 margin. It seems that, this are lines with very long words. How can I
 manual force a line break in this case?

Use InsertFormattingHyphenation Point to insert a soft hyphen (as 
WordPerfect used to call it). This will tell TeX that it is OK to break the 
line there.

 Hi all,

 I have a problem wih the fancyhdr package. I use lyx version 1.6.5.
 In order to add the title of the chapter in the top line and the
 pagenumber at the bottom of the page (both for even numbered pages in
 the right corner and for odd numbered pages in the left corner), I
 used the header:

 \usepackage{fancyhdr}

 \pagestyle{fancy}

 \fancyhead{}  % clear all header fields
 \fancyhead[LO,RE]{\leftmark}
 \fancyfoot{}  % clear all footer fields
 \fancyfoot[LO,RE]{\thepage}
 \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}

 It works perfectly fine. However, the first page of each chapter is
 unchanged. I want to change the position of this pages to the left or
 right position and no header. To this end I used in the header the
 command:

 \pagestyle{fancyplain}
 \fancyhead{}  % clear all header fields
 \fancyfoot{}  % clear all footer fields
 \fancyfoot[LO,RE]{\thepage}

 If I put this in the header in front of the \pagestyle{fancy}
 commands, the first chapter page looks like the following ones but
 without a line in the top.
 If I put it in the header after the \pagestyle{fancy} commands, the
 first chapter page looks as I intended (no header, the pagenumber
 moved to the left/right corner). However, the other pages got only a
 line in the header without the chaptername.

 What is wrong?

Maybe the question was a bit to complicated, so I try to ask easier:

I use the document class report.
How would you define with the fancyhdr package or in an other way,
that in the first pages of the chapters the pagenumbers are printed
for even numbered pages in the lower right corner and for odd numbered
pages in the lower left corner?

Thank you very much for your help!

Kind regards!

commands, the first chapter page looks like the following ones but
without a line in the top.
If I put it in the header after the \pagestyle{fancy} commands, the
first chapter page looks as I intended (no header, the pagenumber
moved to the left/right corner). However, the other pages got only a
line in the header without the chaptername.

What is wrong?

Additionally I have a small question which I could not find in the
forum: Occasionally (4 lines in 100 pages) a line overwrites the right
margin. It seems that, this are lines with very long words. How can I
manual force a line break in this case?

Thank you very much for your assistance!

Lyx mailing list: problem with fancyhdr

2010-07-25 Thread Stefan Zorn

Hi all,

I have a problem wih the fancyhdr package. I use lyx version 1.6.5.
In order to add the title of the chapter in the top line and the
pagenumber at the bottom of the page (both for even numbered pages in
the right corner and for odd numbered pages in the left corner), I
used the header:

\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\pagestyle{fancy}

\fancyhead{}  % clear all header fields
\fancyhead[LO,RE]{\leftmark}
\fancyfoot{}  % clear all footer fields
\fancyfoot[LO,RE]{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}

It works perfectly fine. However, the first page of each chapter is
unchanged. I want to change the position of this pages to the left or
right position and no header. To this end I used in the header the
command:

\pagestyle{fancyplain}
\fancyhead{}  % clear all header fields
\fancyfoot{}  % clear all footer fields
\fancyfoot[LO,RE]{\thepage}

If I put this in the header in front of the \pagestyle{fancy}
commands, the first chapter page looks like the following ones but
without a line in the top.
If I put it in the header after the \pagestyle{fancy} commands, the

Using document title and author in fancyhdr

2010-03-14 Thread Stefan

Hello,

I am trying to use the title  author of the document as heading on 
every page. I am using article style  fancyhdr package.

I am using the command \lhead{\title} \rhead{\author} in the preamble, 
but this leads to empty headings (probably because in the preamble 
those are not filled yet). Is there any way to delay expansion of the 
\title and \author macros until shipout time at which point they have 
the right values?

Alternatively, does anyone else know an elegant solution that allows 
me to put the title and author of a document into heading? 
Needs to be automatic - no good to explicitly having to put it there

Thx a lot!

cross-references missing when compiling child-document

2010-02-11 Thread Stefan Verhaegh

Hi

For the last two years I have been a very happy user of Lyx (currently
version 1.6.5 on Windows XP in combination with TexLive 2009) for writing my
PhD thesis.

But now I have stumbled across something strange in relation to
cross-references since I have split up my thesis into a master document with
child-documents for the different chapters:
* whenever I compile the child-documents into pdf, this results in
cross-references being replaced with ?? double question-marks.
* whenever I compile the masterdocument this results in correct references
to chapters, sections or pagenumbers.

Is this behaviour a bug, feature or user error?

Unfortunately I could not find the answer in the Help documentation.
The additional features, section 3.2.2 3.2.2 Cross-References Between
Files reads the following:
This section is somewhat out of date. Need to describe default master
documents and how children are opened when the master is. [[FIXME]]

Also searching the lyx-user list archives I could not find an answer.

Although using a one-big-document approach is an easy solution for correct
cross-references in the pdf-output, I would prefer the elegance of a modular
workflow based on a single master-document and multiple child-documents.
Especially as in this stage I am working with different people on different
chapters at the same time.

thanks in advance for any further suggestions,

Stefan Verhaegh

Re: Strategies for Writing Co-operation with Non-LyX Users?

Hi,
It would be great if LightLyx(or whatever name) would be a portable,
one file solultion and the .lxy document would be bundled with all
images in a .zip file.
So you can just give the document (zip-file) and the exe (for windows)
file of PortanbleLightlyx to someone and he/she could review and
comment the document right away.

Re: Macros with optional arguments - LyX 1.6.1

LyX is really a good tool for me, especially because I have

So, I actually work-out all the math directly with LyX.

What I liked about your video was that I could find and replace

Sometimes/many times, I change my mind and decide to call a

But LyX 1.6 doesn't seem to be able (yet) to do it.
I have no problems with actual text, just the math.


You know math macros? It's exactly for this kind of thing when you do  
not know the final notation yet. You can insert a math macro  
definition using the \foo := button the extra-toolbar, and insert an

You can use it (as almost every LaTeX package) but there is no GUI

(out of the box).

The installation procedure depends on your system and the LaTeX  
distribution

you use, but basically means:

1. download
2. put into ~/texmf/tex/latex/ or /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/
  (on a Unix machine)
3. run texhash
4. reconfigure LyX (only for packages recognised by LyX)
  (i.e. not needed for polynom)

To use the commands,

a) read the manual
b) in LyX insert the LaTeX commands in raw mode, evil red  
text (ERT).

  Press Ctrl-l to get the ERT box.


Instead of evil red text I would define some math macros which have  
the ERT in the Latex box and some nice looking placeholder in the LyX  
box. Of course you won't get real WYSIWYG output in LyX, but that's  
probably not needed anyway.

set language for all document elements

Dear list,

How do I convert a table, paragraph or figure marked as US English
into UK English, when the document is already set to UK English
(Document - Settings - Language)?

I have set my document to use UK English (British), but when I copy
and paste tables from another Lyx document written in US English,
these copied items are underlined as being in foreign language
(underlined in blue).

While I know how to deactivate the blue underlining, it still doesn't
convert those items into UK English. Selecting everything and setting
the document to UK English also doesn't do the trick, and I fear I'll
end up with a document containing a horrid mixture of US and UK
English.

I am using Lyx 1.5.5 on Ubuntu 8.04. The Lyx binary was obtained from
the backports repository.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Stefan

Re: spellchecking problem…

2008-10-21 Thread Stefan Schimanski


I had to put the correct directionary path into ~/.aspell.conf

  dict-dir /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell6-en-6.0-0/

Now it works for me (at least UK English, maybe German as well).

Hello,

I have a problem using spellchecking in Lyx (1.6.0rc3 and also in  
1.5.4)
with OSX. I have installed th recent version of cocoAspell (2.0.4).  
I also
installed a german dictionary into the proper folder (Library -  
Application

Support - cocoAspell). After that I activated the languages in the
sytem-preferences. Lyx seems to recognize the dictionaries, as I could
choose them in the language-menu.
Every time (regardless of the language I choose) I run the  
spellchecker I

get the following message:

»Das Rechtschreibprogramm konnte nicht gestartet werden
Error: The file /usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60/english can not be  
opened for

I tried to change setting both in the documents-window and in the  
general
preferences – without success. What could be the problem here? Does

scaling a longtable

2008-06-13 Thread Stefan Buchholz


Hi Guys,
i tried to scale a normal table, and that worked quiet well.
i tried also to scale a long table for my enclosure, which i need cause the
table needs to break every couple rows. 
But it doesn´t work and a dialog shows up where it says:
Missing \endgroup inserted. (3 times)
and Missing } inserted
also it says Undefined control sequence.
i don´t know what the mistake causes, cause i made the longtable wiki-like.
i use lyx 1.5.3 under windows.

Is there anybody who can solve my problem?

Re: math-macros in included file

Dear LyX users,

for my thesis, I define a set of about 20 math-macros that reside in a
well commented file math-macros.lyx that is included by the document
file(s).

When I open the document file before opening the math-macro.lyx  
file, all
macros will be shown as ERT. Unfortunately, they remain in ERT even  
after

opening math-macro.lyx later on (either via FileRecent Files or
automatically as a result of ViewPostscript).

I experimented with cut-and-paste of the macro definitions in a LyX- 
Note

at the beginning of the document. However, this bloats the file and
keeping it in sync is a pain.

Does anyone else experiment this kind of problem?
Are there proposed workarounds?


Yes, wait for 1.6. It will come with a completely rewritten macro  
system, see here:


  http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16#toc12

You are very welcome to try out the development version and report  
problems with the macros. I use them extensively for my own thesis,  
but some more testing would be very welcome. The alpha2 should be out  
soon if you don't want to compile from source yourself.

Re: How to avoid Macro pop-up?


Hello!

First about the popups: I think in 1.5.x, if they don't appear it's a  
bug in the rendering code in fact because the math mode does not  
detect the cursor correctly going into the macro.


The behaviour that macros popup was the starting point for me to think  
about redoing the LyX macro code. In my thesis I define terms with a  
lot of macros and moreover a lot of macro nesting. With the macro  
editing bahaviour in 1.5.x the vertical space grows exponentially with  
the nesting depth. So you need a very big screen if you want to nest  
them more than a few times.


The new approach is discussed on http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/Macros.  
Meanwhile the option D is implemented in the development version. Some  
time ago I did a screencast at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68Gys4rp3u4 
 . You can see there how the macros are looking and bahaving now in  
the svn repository.


It seems that there is still interest in the old list-like editing  
bahaviour by some people. So probably you will have the choice between  
both.


As Abdel pointed out there is the branch of the 1.5 version where I  
developed all this. It's not very up to date. In fact I am not even  
sure that it compiles because I tried the merge to the 1.6 version  
there at the beginning. Not sure whether I reverted properly.


If you have suggestions for improvements, please tell me. Now is the  
time to think about how to get it right. I use the code frequently in  
my work and I am mostly happy with them. But there is certainly room  
for improvements.


Regards,
  Stefan

Hi lyx-team (Or others)!
Thanks for the great work! I was about to post a couple of bug-reports

added

very nice features! Nevertheless, I guess I will contribute frequently
now feedbacks and perhaps bug-reports to these formus. So hope you

But for now, I have only one silly question: I was absolutely happy to
see that math-macros do not any longer pop up automatically when one
navigates through them  (something that annoyed me very much in the

the macros are popping up again :-(
Please, can anybody tell me, how to switch this off???
Thanks a lot, Sebastian

Re: How to avoid Macro pop-up?


Hallo!

So what can I do now to make further suggestions. As far as I could  
see,

all what I had in mind (about macros) is already implemented, but to
really see that, it would be fine to use it.
What is your advice. Shall I compile the development version, or try  
to

compile your own branch? Or shall I wait for the next release?


The branch was only for 1.5. I don't use it anymore. I do development  
now in the trunk, i.e. the 1.6 development version.


I use the 1.6 trunk for my thesis, but you should backup often. It's  
not so stable sometimes. But for testing the new features compiling is  
the only way.


And in case I have suggestions. Where shall I post them? At the wiki  
or

at the dev-mailing list?
Regards, Sebastian


I would prefer the mailing list, with cc to me. Then others can join  
the discussion.



P.S.: Greetings to Theresienstrasse (have done my diploma thesis in
physics there).
