script
JanR,
I don't think I ever sent you the script for un-scrambling lyx to
pdflatex exports. I am enclosing the email from Carrick Talmadge
(c...@olemiss.edu) and a zip file with the script. You might want to
contact Carrick directly if you have questions. I have not used the
script yet, so I would be interested in how it goes for you. Also,
please let me know if you receive this email. Thanks - Ken
Here is the email Carrick:
Hi Ken,
I'm including a zip'd version of the file (otherwise the University
virus filter may kick it out).
Unzip it in the directory you want to correct the latex.
Open a Terminal window, cd to the directory where your latex is then
run this command:
fixEquations.sh ExampleCalculation.tex
(replace "ExampleCalculation.tex" with your file name of course.)
You can even type:
fixEquations.sh *.tex
or give it a list of (space delimited) files that you want to run it
on. E.g.,
fixEquations.tex a.tex b.tex c.tex
Notes:
The script will move all embedded \begin and \end statements to the
beginning of a line. (Not just begin{equations}.) If you want it to
be more specific in terms of which types of begin/end statements you
want to always start at the beginning of a line, let me know.
This script makes a copy of each file it modifies as filename~. For
example running the command
fixEquations.sh ExampleCalculation.tex
will create a file named ExampleCalculation.tex~
I've tested it on my computer, there is no reason to expect it not to
work on yours, but as with any new script that is this invasive, I
recommend backing up all of your files before trying it and verifying
it does what you want.
Carrick

Re: export to pdflatex
JanR, A friend of mine who is a computer whiz wrote a "script" for reformatting the Latex file. I haven't tried it yet, but I expect it will work fine. I use a Mac, and I think the script works using the underlying Unix. I am pretty sure the same can be done on a pc since the Latex file is just ascii on any computer. I will let you know how things turn out. If you hear of any other fixes that work, I would appreciate your letting me know.

export to pdflatex
I am using LyX to produce chapters in a book. I export each LyX chapter as pdfLateX and assemble the LateX chapters. The problem is that, in the exported LateX, the text and equations are run together. I have to hand edit the LateX and put in %'s to make the LateX readable. My question is what (if anything) can be in LyX to have the %'s appear in the LateX export? More generally, is there any way to control the format of the exported LateX? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
