Re: Lyx 1.1.6fix4
Ok, I did a make install-strip and - yes - it worked fantastic (including german localization). Hope I didn't bothered you too much but for me LyX is a very important tool and I didn't want to disturb my existing LyX installation (I did not expect to: I did not have troubles with installation or updates since the time I started to use LyX some years before). Anyway, I would like to thank all of you who took care. Thanks again Stephan -- Stephan E.

Re: Lyx 1.1.6fix4
Hello Wilbert, hello Aide, thank you very much for your quick response.

Working with multiple documents in multiple export formats
Hi there, I've got the following problem(s) (using LyX 1.1.6fix2 on a SuSE 7.0 Linux): I have to write an online-manual as well as an online-help for an application. The task is to create a LyX-document that can be used as a pdf-file (for the online-manual) as well as a HTML-File for the online-Help. My first approach is to do the following: 1.) Create a "master"-document that basically conatins the online-manual 2.) Create "stand-alone" documents which describe the different windows of the application (the online-help). 3.) Part I of the online manual ist the manual itself where certain workflows are described. 4.) Part II of the online-manual includes the "standalone-documents" within the master document so that the user has something like a "command reference" 5.) The stand alone documents should be exported as HTML-files with cross references beetween them 6.) The master document (with included stand alone documents) should be exported as one pdf-file, where cross-references between the master and the stand alone documents should be possible. It should also be possible to have cross references within the master document itself. First (and uncomplete) testing shows the following results: I created one master-LyX-file and included two other LyX-files. A preview (pdf or dvi) shows the master document but only one (the first) of the included documents. Second problem is: How can I create a link that is valid for both - pdf and html ? Can anybody give me hints where to find more information (I read the manuals :-) concerning this task ? Or does anyone have a little bit more experience with this task ?

LyX and gs 6.5
Hi, a few days ago there was a discussion about LyX and Ghostscript 6.5 on this mailing list. Somebody reported that there are problems concerning the collaboration between LyX and gs 6.5 but - afaik - did not specify them. The problem I have is that included postscript pictures get very ugly when I use the "ps2pdf"-command (that comes with gs 6.5) on a LyX-exported postscript file. They appear quite smeared - on display as well as on paper (but when I have a look at the postscript-file done within LyX via File -> Export with a ps-viewer, they're o.k.). Does anybody have the same problem - and maybe a solution for it ? TIA Stephan -- Stephan E.

More than this: I forgot to mention that not only the "shift arrow" keys don't work anymore, even my ctrl-key seems to be out of order.

Every now and then I have to deal with this porblem, too. The way I solve it
(don't laugh :-):
Close the document in LyX.
Open the document with an editor (like emacs or - if you are a tough guy - vi)
Don't change anything but save the document.
Close the document in your editor.
Reopen the document with LyX.
Don't ask me why but then the problem disappears...
Regards,
Stephan

It's just a guess but a few months ago I had a similar problem: a picture I used in a LyX document was moved to another directory so that LyX couldn't find it anymore. This caused not only a LyX crash, but a complete KDE crash. Moving the picture back to the place where LyX expected it solved the problem. HTH Stephan -- Stephan E.

Hello Ben,
thank you very much for your help - it worked!
Remove the \usepacke{...hyperref}-line from the LaTeX preamble and just
put a "Name" in the Insert -> References dialog and everything works
pretty will.
Thanks a lot to all who answered my question.
Happy LyXing!

Thank you, Herbert, for your quick answer.
I changed the preamble as you supposed but the result is stille the
same; that means, in my text the link appears as
\hyperlink{internal name}{displayed name} (just the way I typed it
though I formatted it as LaTeX)
Curious ...

Hyperref: Defining links
Hi,
I'm just fizzling through the problem to create a hyperlink in a LyX
dcoument. What I was doing is the following:
LyX 1.1.6fix1 on a SuSE 7.0
document class: SGML (LinuxDoc article)
LaTeX preamble: \usepackage{hyperref}
Defined the link target by: \hypertarget{internal name}{displayed name}
(in LaTeX mode)
Defined the link by: \hyperlink{internal name}{displayed name} (in LaTeX
mode)
Then I exported the text by File -> Export -> HTML but the link doesn't
appear.
What's going wrong ?
Sorry for wasting bandwidth if this question is kind of a faq :-)
Any hints are welcome!
TIA

Re: Define colorlink

Have you ever tried linkcolor=blue (for example)?
But for this option I think you have to use the hyperref-package :-)
For me the follwoing works pretty good:
\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={your title},pdfauthor={the
author},linkcolor=blue,linktocpage,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
For more information concerning the options of hyperref have a look at
the hyperref manual; perhaps you can find it at:
/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/hyperref/manual.pdf (it's the path on my SuSe
7.0)
Hope this helps!

Re: pdflatex don't work with images
Hi Thomas,
you still can export your file to postscript and then use ps2pdf to
convert it: Add the folling line - as one line - to your LaTeX preamble
\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={the title of your document},pdfauthor={the
name of the
author},linkcolor=blue,linktocpage,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
where hyperref gives you links, linkcolor is the color of the links,
linktocpage guarantees that in the toc only the page numbers are links,
not the whole heading.
Be sure that you installed hyperref ...
Happy LyXing :-)

Hi there, first of all: congratulations - and thanks - to the developers and all the people involved in this wonderful project! As far as I can see for now a lot of work have been done since the last release I worked with (1.1.5fix2). But let me tell you about two things I came across: Neraly at the end of the compilation process (on a SuSE 6.2, xforms 0.88, egcs-2.91.66) an error message ccured: [...] make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/lyx-1.1.6pre3/lib' ./build-listerrors . lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX.

So I took courage, did a "make install-strip" - no problem at all besides one thing: the german localization seems to be incomplete. So my questions are: What does this error message mean?

I don´t know whether it would be very helpfull to have an automagic
title input. IMHO the title input shouldn´t be the file name; so the
only thing that would make sense would be to take the content of the
Title-paragraph (but I don´t know whether this paragraph style is always
available).

Oh no, you shouldn´t go that far :-)
I´d suggest the following:
1.) Select default font "times" via Layout -> Document
2.) Put the line
\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={the title of the
document},urlcolor=blue,linktocpage,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
into your LaTeX-preampble (I assume you´ve installed gs and it
should be version >= 5.5). This line dows the following:
pdftitle: Here you can put the title of your document
urlcolor=blue: makes links appear in blue.
linktocpage: only the page number appears as a link in the TOC, nit the
whole text of the chapter, section a.s.o.
colorlinks=true: makes the links visible
hyperref=creates links
3) Export your file as postscript.
4) Run a "ps2pdf postscriptfile pdffile" on it.
5) Forget about to boot into windows :-)
If this doesn´t help feel free to email me the respective LyX-file so
that I can have a look at it and maybe find out what´s going wrong.

I have to admit that I haven´t yet tested pdftex so I can´t tell the
differences between pdftex and ps2pdf.
But I woudn´t say that ps2pdf causes big filesizes however if you use gs
V 5.5 or later (you are right there were some problems concerning the
size of the files with earlier versions of gs). Ps2pdf and hyperref
(right?) also provide links and you are allowed to use ps or eps-files.
I remember a similiar discussion a few months ago on this list. IMHO,
never mind which way you prefer I would highly welcome if the developers
let this discussion become obsolete by implementing a PDF-export feature
(:-).

Which font are you using? There are some that are not dealed with as
text but as grafics. To avoid this, you might try to change the fonts
via Layout -> Document to "times". Then it should work better...

Hm, the syntax seems to be o.k. The "pdftitle={whatever you want}"
command is used to give your PDF-document a title - visible via File ->
Document Info -> General... (for Acrobat Reader). So is is not
necessarily the name of the file (and it is not necessarily needed,
too).
The "linktocpage" command is used to create hyperlinks for the page
numbers within the TOC of the PDF-document.
The "colorlinks" command is used to enable coloured hyperlinks.

Stephan

For me it seems that exporting your file as LaTeX isn´t enough. The
missing (the warnings) of croos-references and so on indicates that you
missed to "latex" your exported file.
You can do so by typing "latex [yourfilename.tex]" at the command line.

I do not know much abpout pdflatex; I managed the problem to convert
LyX-files to PDF as follows:
1. include a
\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={whatever you
want},linktocpage,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
in your LaTeX-preamble (Layout -> LaTeX...)
2. Export your LyX-file as Postscript.
3. Use ps2pdf to create the PDF-file (at the command line: "ps2pdf
[yourfilename.ps]"
For me this works quite perfectly - but I agree with you that a "direct"
PDF-export would be much more comfortable (hint for the developers :-).

Re: lyx/PDF
I do agree! More than this for me it would be a very useful feature if one were able to export directly to pdf; say, via File -> Export -> as PDF.

It works pretty well, but the other one would be more comfortable :-) Regards, Stephan On Wed, 24 May 2000, Jean-Pierre.Chretien wrote: > > Following the very useful ideas already given in the list, > I began writing LaTeX stuff to be able to create pdf > as well as dvi from the .tex source (mostly to deal > correctly with bitmapped vector-like images, screen captures > mostly). > > So in LaTeX I can easily shift from one compilation to the other by > - wiping out the .eps extension in the \includegraphics commands, > - setting an pdftex option to the class. > > The commutation from latex to pdflatex is controlled in the lyxrc file, > It would be nicer to have a « View PDF » item in the File menu, > which would add the required pdftex option on the fly. > > In addition, the figure rendering is lost for > jpeg, png or pdf, so that a (low quality) eps > of these is needed for the sake of lyx interface. > It would be nicer as well if the figure inclusion code > dropped the .eps suffix, not needed by graphicx > in plain latex compilation. > > In fact, it is very easy to write a perl script which > pdflatexes the exported tex file, adding the pdf tex > option and filtering out the extensions, but > it's YAPF (Yet Another Perl Filter) for a function which > would be easy to implement... > > Regards > > -- > Jean-Pierre > > -- Stephan E.

Error report: LyX crashes when figure not found
Hi, A few weeks ago I already posted part of this error report to this mailing list; but now I want to summarize it: 1) Insert a figure into a Lyx file (via Insert -> Figure) 2) Quit Lyx. 3) Move the respective figure to another place 4) Start Lyx. 5) If you now try to open the above mentioned LyX file (where the figure was inserted), the following happens: LyX crashes I'm logged out from my grafical desktop I'm logged out even at the text consoles, where I was logged in as the same user as at the grafical desktop. Despite the fact whether LyX causes this "logout-feature" or not, would it be possible to display a message box "File [figure name] not found!" and let LyX open this file anyway? Thanx a lot!

Make sure you've installed a current Ghostscript release (should be 5.50
or later)
Include the follwoing line in your LaTeX preamble (via Layout -> LaTeX
preamble):
\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={what
you want},linktocpage,colorlinks=true]{hyperref} <== one line
Export your file as a PS-file (File -> export -> as postscript)
Use the "ps2pdf"-tool to create a pdf-file, for example:
ps2pdf foo.ps foo.pdf
Enjoy your pdf-file (:-)

Stephan

reLyX problems
Hi there, a few days ago it happened to me that LyX crashed (Rel. 1.1.4). After the crash LyX couldn't read the LyX-file well: it told me that there were problems during reading it and at the end all I got was about a quarter of the original file.

reLyX problems
Hi there, a few days ago it happened to me that LyX crashed (Rel. 1.1.4). After the crash LyX couldn't read the LyX-file well: it told me that there were problems during reading it and at the end all I got was about a quarter of the original file. Fortunately, before it crashed I exported the file as LaTeX (which was obviously not the reason why LyX crashed). Unfortunately, an import of this LaTeX-file via File -> Import didn't work. So I tried a "reLyX -d [LaTeX-file]".

Hi there, I for myself got satisfied results using the psd2pdf that is included in the Ghostscript 5.50 package. Indeed the GS 5.10-ps2pdf produces large files but the GS 5.50 reduces it very well. Example: gs-5.10 ps2pdf: file size 1.373.051 gs-5.50 ps2pdf: file size 264.232 Anyway, I do agree with the wish to have a pdf-export possibility integrated in LyX. Regards, Stephan Stephan E.

Creating a german index revisited
Hi there,
a few weeks ago I asked whether somebody could help me with a problem that
occured writing a manual.
The Problem was to create a "german" index (that means an index that sorts
german umlauts correctly).
JMarc gave me a very useful hint ("May the source be with you", :-) and as
he told me I had a look at the source code, especially LaTeX.C
Well the solution I found works as follows:
Patch LaTeX.C (around line 442):
char *lyxenv;
lyxerr.debug("idx file has been made,"
" running makeindex on file "
+ file, Error::LATEX);
// It should be possible to set the switches for makeindex
// sorting style and such. It would also be very convenient
// to be able to make style files from within LyX. This has
// to come for a later time. (0.13 perhaps?)
LString tmp = "makeindex -c -q ";
lyxenv=getenv("LYX_MAKEINDEX");
if (lyxenv)
{
tmp += LString(lyxenv);
tmp += " ";
}
Export two variables:
LXY_MAKEINDEX="-s foo.ist -g"
INDEXSTYLE=/usr/share/texmf/makeindex/
foo.ist is the name of the style file, -s is the option to tell
makeindex to use a style file and -g is the option for German word
ordering.
INDEXSTYLE contains the path where makeindex will find the style
file (please note: I work with SuSE 6.0 so the paths may vary from
distribution to distribution.
Create a style file in the directory /usr/share/texmf/makeindex. An
example for it (the style file I use) is displayed below:
quote '+'
lethead_prefix "{\\bfseries "
lethead_suffix "\\hfil}\\nopagebreak\n"
lethead_flag 1
heading_prefix "{\\bfseries "
heading_suffix "\\hrulefill}\\nopagebreak\n"
headings_flag 1
The "quote..." enables you to use the way tex recognizes german
umlauts "A instead of Ä
The "\\hrulefill" creates a line beneath the letter of every new
group of the index.
The only thing now you have to do when writing a document is to make sure
that index entries with a german umlaut as the first character
ä, Ä, ö, Ö, ü, Ü
are written like
"a, "A, "o, "O, "u, "U.
That's it.
Let me thank JMarc for immediate help and Andreas Wegmann for patching
LaTeX.C (and all the other guys who gave a helping hand).
As I mentioned above: "May the source be with you".

BACKSPACE and DEL revisited
Hi there, the problem of redefining BACKSPACE and DEL was already discussed. But there is another behaviour (concerning BACKSPACE and DEL) I can't explain: BACKSPACE and DEL work very well (and as expected) if you write "normal" texts. But if you try to insert e.g. an index entry only BACKSPACE does its job and DEL doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks a lot Stephan

Does the first solution mean I have to change the line LString tmp = "makeindex -c -q "; ---> line 452, LaTeX.C to LString tmp = "makeindex -c -q -s [name of my style file in /usr/share/texmf/makeindex/]"; and everythink works fine?

Customizing an index
Hello, I know I already asked this question the other day on this list. Hope I don't bother you anyway... My problem is that I'd like to create a customized index like the following: A - -> this should be a line Abwarten Ärger -> where Ä is the german umlaut and should be sorted correctly like Ae What I already did was to export two environment variables LYX_MAKEINDEX (option -s and the name of the style file) and INDEXSTYLE (the path where the style file can be found). But the effect seems to be all the same: LyX seems to ignore it. Does anybody know a way to create such a customized index only using LyX (besides using xindy)? TIA Stephan E.

Hi,
maybe I can give you some further information concerning the PDF-format.
I think you need the newest hyperref-package (try it at
http://xxx.lanl.gov/hypertex).
Then you have to include some parameters to your LaTeX-preamble:
\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={The title the pdf document should
have},linktocpage,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
This is useful (and necessary) to create a PDF document with a living
toc (in addition, living index, living footnotes,living references and all
that stuff)
To create a PDF-document I do it the following way:
Export it as Postscript
Do a "ps2pdf" with it
Feel fine (:-).
Another hint may be useful: I prefer to use standard fonts within such
documents (like times or so). As far as I know (and I tested it) other
fonts like palatino or so cause PDf to treat them in a grafical way.
Hope it'll work for you
