LyX2LaTeX-export from the command line

[stephan . schlierf]

Hello everybody,

does anybody know whether it is possible to run LyX from the command line
in order to convert LyX-files into LaTeX-files ?
I thought of something like lyx --export LaTeX file.lyx file.tex.

TIA

Creating an URL

[stephan . schlierf]

Hi there,

what I want to do is to create a link from one file to another one.
I use document class book(koma-script) and included package url by putting
\usepackage{url} into the preamble.
I already tried the following:
- Insert - URL
- wrote \url[linkname{file.html} in plain LaTeX.
Then I tried to export the file by running Export - HTML.
Both failed that means what I see in the HTML-file is not a link but the
plain text linkname file.html
For conversion I use latex2html with the switches - no_subdir -split 0
-show_section_numbers

Can anybody tell me what to do to create an URL when using document class
book (I really would like to avoid document class LinuxDoc) ?

TIA

Re: Creating an URL

[stephan . schlierf]

Hi Guenter,

hm, you are right and not: my plans were modified so that I create one
HTML-file for each window (concerning the online-help).
Therefore I need to have references from one file to another (like see
also: ...)
The problem I have is that I don´t know how to create a valid HTML-link
(something like url[linkname]{filename.html}
The reported ways I tried (using Insert - URL or putting plain TaTeX code
\url[linkname]{filename.html} in the text) didn´t show the effect I want
to have.
If I use document class book(koma-script) the only thing I see is linkname
filename.html written in plain text and not as a hyperlink in the
resulting html-file.
Any more hints?

TIA
Stephan

If I remember right, you had the chapters in individual files but all the
files to link belong to the same book.

Furthermore, if I remember right, latex2html does (can do) a splitting of
several chapters to several html-files. (Look at the latex2html
documentation/customization.)

So you can try to have all the stuff in one file (or master file) and link
as usual (mark and reference).

Re: Working with multiple documents in multiple export formats

Hi Herbert,

problem one (master document only shows the first included document)
disappeared because I upgraded to LyX 1.1.6fix3.
Problem two - creating a link that is valid for both - pdf and html - still
remains because I don´t know how to

- define my links (labels as well as pages)
May I ask you one more time for a helping hand ?

Re: Working with multiple documents in multiple export formats

Links should be possible as follows:
- links inside a single document (refs and page refs)
- links between two documents (refs and page refs)
I need the latter because the basic approach to generate my manual is to
work with separate LyX-files all coming together in one master-file.
For conversion latex-html I used to use latex2html but latex2html seems to
get into trouble when defining a preamble like \usepackage[ps2pdf

It depends what do you mean by link?
Is it a link inside the document ? (e.g. a link to section 3)
or is it a link to a web page ?
In case of the latter, do you want to have the text of the link to be equal
to the URL (e.g. a href=http://www.lyx.org;http://www.lyx.org/a )

this works, when you use pdftex, otherwise work with a boolean
variable and set it to true for pdf and false for html

\newif \ifpdf
\ifx \pdfoutput \undefined
\pdffalse
\else
\pdftrue
\fi
\usepackage{html}
\let\myUrl\url
\renewcommand\url[1]{%
   \ifpdf
 \myUrl{#1}
   \else
 \htmlink{#1}
\fi


maybe that the \htmllink command has another name, look at
package.

Re: Working with multiple documents in multiple export formats

[stephan . schlierf]

Links should be possible as follows:
- links inside a single document (refs and page refs)
- links between two documents (refs and page refs)
I need the latter because the basic approach to generate my manual is to
work with separate LyX-files all coming together in one "master"-file.
For conversion latex->html I used to use latex2html but latex2html seems to
get into trouble when defining a preamble like \usepackage[ps2pdf
...]{hyperref}

TIA

It depends what do you mean by link?
Is it a link inside the document ? (e.g. a link to section 3)
or is it a link to a web page ?
In case of the latter, do you want to have the text of the link to be equal
to the URL (e.g. http://www.lyx.org;>http://www.lyx.org )
or not (e.g. http://www.lyx.org;>The LyX homepage )

Finally, which program do you use for latex->html conversion ?

Here come the example files...

Just one more question: to use pdftex means to use it in the preample
like \usepackage{pdftex}?

Thank you very much for your help!

Hello

 I noticed the same problem when printing gs6.x generated
 pdf files to
 postscript and non-postscript printers with acrobat reader  in Windows.
 The minus symbols were present on-screen though! No
 problems with
 printing to postscript printers under Linux.

Every system is different. Without the '-Ppdf' the minus symbols were not
present on-screen

 (Converters-Converters), with LyX  1.1.5fix1 this should
 be possible by defining
 \dvi_to_ps_command dvips -Ppdf

So is it simply putting this last line into /.lyx/lyxrc?

 With this change, other problems are introduced! For
 example,
 fi character sequences in normal text became a pound
 sterling sign 

 Conclusion: do not use gs_6.x for distributing LyX
 generated (through ps2pdf)  acrobat  documents

Yes I also got this ligature problem (fi, ff). But a friend of mine has
already found the solution.
In the 'config.pdf' file (in my system to be found in
'/var/lib/texmf/dvips/config/') there is the Letter 'G' which has to be
commented out. Then the ligatures come as they should and hopefully no
other problems arise.

Will see if this ps-pdf thing will become transparent some day.

Greetings
 Wolfgang

Re: thanks and pstopdf-question

[stephan . schlierf]

Hi there,

the problem of getting a fine pdf-file out of LyX seems to be one of the
most discussed topics in this mailing lists (hint hint maybe it´s worth a
mini-HOWTO ?).
 To avoid people getting frustrated (as it happened to me every now and
then when playing around with ps and pdf-files and ugly fonts and/or ugly
figures ... :-) let me just give some hints you might want to keep in mind:

First of all, don´t use ghostscript  6.0 (buggy, doesn´t treat ps-figures
well)
Second, dont´t use ghostcript  5.50 (creates huge pdf-files)
As far as I have tested it, ghostcript 6.0 does a quite good job: it allows
you to use other fonts than the standard or pslatex ones; for example,
newcent works fine for me.
Export your LyX-file to postscript; after that, use ps2pdf your_ps_file.ps
your_pdf_file.pdf to convert the postscript file to a pdf file (this can
be replaced by configuring Edit - Preferences - tab page
Formatkonvertierung, sorry, I don´t know the english label for it, I use
the german localization)
If you want to have informations like author, Document title to be
appeared in Acrobat Reader´s File - Document info and if you want to use
links in your pdf file, put the following line into your LaTeX preamble
(Layout - LaTeX preamble)
\usepackage[ps2pdf, pdftitle={your favorite document title},pdfauthor={the
author},linkcolor=blue,linktocpage,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
where linkcolor is the color in which links should be displayed,
linktocpage don´t use the whole toc-entry as a link but only the page
number (for more options have a look at the hyperref documentation)

Hi there,

the problem of getting a fine pdf-file out of LyX seems to be one of the
most discussed topics in this mailing lists (hint hint maybe it´s worth a
mini-HOWTO ?).
 To avoid people getting frustrated (as it happened to me every now and
then when playing around with ps and pdf-files and ugly fonts and/or ugly
figures ... :-) let me just give some hints you might want to keep in mind:

First of all, don´t use ghostscript  6.0 (buggy, doesn´t treat ps-figures
well)
Second, dont´t use ghostcript  5.50 (creates huge pdf-files)
As far as I have tested it, ghostcript 6.0 does a quite good job: it allows

Re: figure numbering

[stephan . schlierf]

Hello,

did you ever try a figure float  (Insert - Floats - figures; I`m not
quite sure how the menu items are labelled in english because I use the
german localization) ?
These floats are numbered.

Hello,

Is it possible to label figures in lyx so that (for example) those under
a paragraph heading are numbered paragraph number-figure number
(e.g. 2.3.4.1-1), those under a subsection heading are numbered
subsection number-figure number (e.g. 2.3-2) and so on?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Just select Layout - Paragraph. On the right upper corner of the first tab
page (sorry, I don´t know the name of this option in English) there are two
check boxes where you can turn on (or off) page breakes before or behind a
