Hi Martin On Tue, 13 Dec 2005, Martin A. Hansen wrote: > that is pretty clear. now, it would be nice if your explanation was part of > the documentation! I didn't follow this thread to closely, but something that may help others is to the information to some of the wiki pages. Perhaps one of these: http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/Tips/PaperLayout http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/FAQ/Units or maybe a completely new page? If you'd like to to this and need some help, just give me a shout. /Christian PS. A very simple way of "documenting" this is to simply create a wiki page and from that page add link to this thread. See here for an example http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/Test/LinkingToGmanePost although gmane (which archives the lists) seems a bit slow at the moment. What you do is simply adding something like this to the wiki page: LyxUsersThread:26572 where 26572 is a number that indicates the post... rather amazing that the user's list is up to >26000 posts btw. -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

Thanks, Christian. One more request ;-)
My footnote on http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX137pre would ideally
have the markup:
blah blah blah
: : some quote
blah blah blah
If we continue this way you're going to want a complete mini-page in
the footnote eventually ;-)
However, the : : quoting markup appears to be disabled inside
of footnotes. Could you enable it?
Seriously speaking though, you're approaching the limit of what's
currently feasible now. I don't think this can be enabled, pmwiki isn't
recursive enough.
It might be possible, but I suggest you try a hack instead. I.e. something
that sort of looks what you want. One such hack would be something like
this:
[^Bla bla bla \\\nbsp; nbsp;indented... \\New line^]
Another way is to use 'custom markup' to introduce styling. It's possible
to use lots of different CSS stuff (span/div) but I'm not familiar
with it. Have a look here:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WikiStyles
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WikiStyleExamples
A third solution is to simply not use footnote markup.. If you only have
one or two footnotes, you could simply use a normal link like this.
Bla bla bla'^[[{$Name}#note1 - 1]]^' bla bla

If we continue this way you're going to want a complete mini-page in
the footnote eventually ;-)

Seriously speaking though, you're approaching the limit of what's
currently feasible now. I don't think this can be enabled, pmwiki isn't
"recursive" enough.
It might be possible, but I suggest you try a hack instead. I.e. something
that sort of looks what you want. One such hack would be something like
this:
[^Bla bla bla \\\ indented... \\New line^]
Another way is to use 'custom markup' to introduce styling. It's possible
to use lots of different CSS stuff (/) but I'm not familiar
with it. Have a look here:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WikiStyles
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WikiStyleExamples
A third solution is to simply not use footnote markup.. If you only have
one or two footnotes, you could simply use a normal link like this.
Bla bla bla'^[[{$Name}#note1 -> 1]]^' bla bla
:Note 1 [[#anchor1]]: Bla bla bla bla

To put it another way, the old pages (0.6.15) are just supposed to be a static backup. Unfortunately, I managed to lose (some of?) the pages you mentioned in the transition.

It should be: (:include Site.WikiStyles#styles#stylesend:) What is happening here is that the styles are defined on the page Site.WikiStyles, in between the anchors #styles and #stylesend. The idea is that the rest of that page should illustrate and examplify the styles. However, I'm a bit surprised that these styles aren't already defined.

LyX wiki has been upgraded
Hi This is a warning^H^H^H^H^H^H^H blurb that I just finally upgraded the wiki to the new wiki engine. I've eventually realised that I'm unable to guarantee a perfectly smooth transition, so instead I'll just plunge in and deal with any problems as they occur and get the thing over with... Having said that, I hope the ride won't be too bad, and I'll monitor the lists for issuses related to the wiki, in addition to incrementally fixing any remaining issues. We're going from version 0.6 to 2.1, so there will be quite a few changes but hopefully only for the better. The wiki markup has changed substantially. However, this meant porting all the pages to the new markup, which might have introduced errors. Anyway, the upgrade wiki has replaced the old version and it can found in the usual place http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Welcome whereas if you absolutely, definitely need to see what it looked like using the old wiki you can find it here: http://wiki.lyx.org/0.6.15/LyX/Welcome Editing of the old pages is prohibited (with a password), so please modify the new pages instead. The test wiki should *not* be used any more for changes that you actually want to keep. The major difference in markup is that all links should from now on be written within square brackets, like this for instance: [[Welcome]] In addition, all directives are now written within (:...:), e.g. (:include Welcome:) The idea is that this will make things more consistent. Another difference is that so called CamelCase (or WikiWords) are being depreceated. If you wonder why, one reason is to avoid having every occurence of LyX, LaTeX, BibTeX etc being changed into a link. Right now you have to write e.g. [=LyX=] to avoid it from becoming a link. From now on, the idea is that you should only get links when you explicitly indicate this (by using double square brackets). best regards /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr

{{LyX/Examples}} - a link to the page LyX/Examples
Possibly this also deters other people from adding to the wiki.

I'm afraid not... there are actually good reasons for why HTML isn't
