Just a general advise (independent of using LyX): Minor OS updates 
(12.1, 12.2, etc.) should be no problem. But it might be a good idea to 
hold of on major OS update when some important deadline is coming up. 
Major versions are much more likely to be disruptive.

Hello Richard, thank you for the fast answer.


Since 6 years I write ab large book with 800 sites - now on Lyx.

Of cause I did set the sites-, top- & bottom- margins.

Wenn I input a Graphic, this margins render the visuable field now.

I´m not a Latex - specialist, it means, I try out the possibilities of

Lyx: Graphicinput, as Slideobject, click on the Graphic, scale it...

but I can´t make it visible behind the borders of the margins.

I have jpg - Graphics, which should rich over the hole A4 - site.

May I shoult use a Latex - or Tex- command?


So you want the graphic to cover the entire page, and not to be restricted
to the margins? If so, then I am no graphics expert, but a quick look at
Google suggests centering the graphic. Then it will not start at the left
margin. If you want it to start above the top margin, though, that will not
help. I am not sure how to do that.

Richard

As Liviu was trying to point out, the file you sent uses LaTeX commands
that have not been defined. I think you need to get the sas style file,
which SAS should give you. You can either put this in the same place as
your .lyx file or install sas.sty as a package, and reconfigure LyX. Then,
you will need to put \usepackage{sas} in your preamble, and maybe also
\usepackage{longtable}. Then, you should be able to include the .tex file
in your LyX document. For more information, see the sas webpage:
http://support.sas.com/rnd/base/ods/odsmarkup/latex.html  Also, I ran
across a document that gives some pretty detailed instructions. It was

Others will give you better advice, but at the very least you need to
define the sascontents command and the sastable environment in your
document's preamble. Check the SAS documentation on how to do that.

This is the way to go, if you want to show the TeX source. However, I
suppose you want it to be compiled and "pretty printed".

>> What should I do with it? 

This depends on the actual file:

The SAS/ODS system should have documentation on what usually to do with the
files (include in a LaTeX source file, convert as standalone file, ...).
Depending on this, the correct method to use it with LyX differs.

Creating a new module (for Sage) : a question

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,

I am trying to write a new module that would allow to introduce me Sage
instructions, like for a Sweave document.
I have read the customization guide but I have a problem in the
implementation of a command.

In a latex document using the sagetex package, one can write

\sageplot[angle=0, width=10cm]{plot(sin(x), 0, pi), axes=True}

to have a plot generated by Sage and inserted in the pdf.

I have written the following definition in my module:


Style sageplot
LatexType Command
 LatexName sageplot
OptionalArgs  1
FreeSpacing   1
 PassThru  1
Spellcheck  0
 TextFont
  Color   latex
  Family  Typewriter
 EndFont
End

In order to be able to write in the lyx document [angle=0,
width=10cm]plot(sin(x), 0, pi), axes=True
and select the sageplot command from the top dropbox of styles, to convert
it to the latex command above.

I am definitely missing something here, since that does not work...

How could I write and environment that accepts options given in the LyX
file. Is this possible at all?

Except this problem, I have now a setup that allows me to put Sage commands
in a lyx file and compile the final PDF including the results of these
commands.

FYI: Sage is a very powerful open source mathematics environment (it pools
together many available open source tools for mathematics).
http://www.sagemath.org/

Once I have a fully working (and tested) setup, I could share it with you
if you are interested by this solution.

Murat

Re: A Question regarding "fonts"

In this case, I use the listings package (Insert > Listings). There are 
two possibilities : inline or separated.
The main advantage for me is the syntax highlighting and a lot of other 
possibilities (frames, captions ...).

There's a very good documentation.

Hope it helps.

Write a paragraph in Standard environment, then select the line or
word of code, click the "ab" (Text style) toolbar button, and set
Family to Typewriter. Now your code bit should be Courier, while the
rest of the paragraph will use the standard font (presumably Roman).
Then you can use "select code > c-menu > Apply last text style" to
apply the same formatting to other bits of code.

a question about the import function under Lyx 1.6.4.1 -- a further remark

[Gyorgy SZEIDL]

Dear list members and developers,

I have completely removed Lyx 1.6.4.1 from my laptop this afternoon.

Then I installed the older version Lyx 1.6.3.

A reminder: my operating system is Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
I have been using MiKTeX 2.8 with WinEdt for about two months.
My Miktex installation is complete.

Problems
(a) During installation the standard installer did not realize
again that Miktex 2.8 had already been installed: I was promoted
to give the path to the

c:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\miktex\bin

library.

(b) After installation I made an attempt importing some standard LaTeX
documents created by WinEdt. In this case everything worked fine, i.e., 
I could import all the LaTeX files I had been unable to import under

Lyx 1.6.4.1. There arises again the question: what is the problem with
Lyx 1.6.4.1.

If there is no problem with version 1.6.4.1 what have i done wrong
earlier?

Any remark or help is highly appreciated.

Sincerely yours
G. Szeidl

did not realize that Miktex 2.8 had already been installed: I was promoted
to give the path to the

c:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\miktex\bin

library.

(b) After installation I made an attempt importing some standard LaTeX
documents created by WinEdt. In each case I received an error message:

Tex2lyx.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. 
We are sorry for the inconvenience.


What have i done wrong?

Remark 1. I was able to import these files as plain latex files under 
lyx1.6.1.
Remark 2. If  I create a new Lyx document and export it as a plane Latex 
document
and then I delete the corresponding Lyx document I am always able to 
import the

file exported earlier as a plain latex file.

Any remark or help is highly appreciated.

Sincerely yours

Hi Adrián,

I'll bet there's a package to do that on CTAN (www.ctan.org).

Also, see this article:

http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/ownlists.htm

The referenced article tells how to to it in LaTeX. To use a special list 
environment with LyX, you need to tell the LyX environment code to use a 
LatexType of Item_Environment instead of Environment. See Help->Customization 
document, especially the section titled "Specific Paragraph Layouts"

If you're writing a thesis, I'd suggest you subscribe to the LyX list. All the 
LyX geniuses are there.

Lyx is not a pure text editor but rather a front end to the 
TeX (LaTeX) typesetting program.

Take a look at any book by a major publisher. The text will 
be in a block, with even margins and the left and the 
right. TeX of any form will do this automatically unless 
you say otherwise. To achieve this even margin effect 
without wide gaps between words some words at the ends of 
lines will need to be hyphenated. I assume that is what you 
are seeing. 

There are commands to control this. If you want a ragged 
right margin insert at the top of the document:
\raggedright
You can still have some hyphenation occurences so the 
command to prevent that  is
\hyphenpenalty 1

The default setting is 
\hyphenpenalty 50

I would consult with your advisor as to what format is 
preferred, and whether hyphenation should be discouraged or 
eliminated altogether.

Adrian,

  That's called hyphenation and is used by TeX to fill the line. If a
single-syllable word (such as 'thanks') is incorrectly hyphenated the most
effective solution is to re-write the sentence (perhaps only altering word
order) so the line break comes elsewhere.

  If you see the hyphenation on a multi-syllabic word, but it's in the wrong
place, you can add a suggestion to TeX where the word can correctly be
broken.

This happens when BibTeX is not able to load the citation from your BibTeX file.
This is the case when you have loaded the wrong BibTeX file in your LyX document or more probable, 
when the code in the BibTeX file is wrong.


To check the latter, have a look in LyX's menu Document-> LaTeX Log after you compiled your 
document. There you'll then see error messages about missing or wrong BibTeX entries.
The classic error in this field is that you used a Unicode-only character in your BibTeX file like a 
long "—" instead of a "-". The reason is that BibTeX was developed before Unicode and that 
everything you write in your BibTeX file must be valid LaTeX.


When you still don't find the problem, then you can send me a _small_ example 
LyX and BibTeX file.

This is really strange and I don't know why it happens. Deleting the
reference and recreating it sometimes helps. Other times, it is helpful to
change the quote to quote 2 things at the same time, which then usually
works. I feel more like a computer-mythologist.

I thought that JabRef together with Lyx would make it nearly impossible to
get the quotes wrong. What is happening? What information should I provide

Re: A question regarding List of figures

If you are using the package babel, insert this in the preamble:

\addto\captionsspanish{\renewcommand{\listfigurename}{\'Indice de Figuras}}

That works for spanish babel option. You can change the aspect of the title. 
For example: {\bfseries\rm\Huge{\'Indice de Figuras}}. And so on.

You have to put "\renewcommand\listfigurename{Indice de figuras}" in the 
preamble.


However, if you also use babel, this won't work because babel is loaded 
after the user preamble and thus the \listfigurename is reset.


To solve this, you could add an ERT right in front of the "List of 
Figures", with the command I gave above.

The reason the logo appears on the second page is because it is
interpreted after the title is made. There is some tricks to get around
this, but there is an easier way if you can use article-class from
koma-script.

In that case forget the ERT and just mark the logo as TitleHead instead
of Standard and it should appear in the head of the titlepage.

Start a paragraph by selecting the Theorem environment and begin the

The key is to make sure that the enumeration is embedded in the theorem

LyX wiki page about tables available and a question

[Uwe StÃhr]

Hello LyXers,
I created a wiki page, that describes advanced table formatting,
multirow / multicolumn cells and customized formats
You can find it here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/Tables
just for information.
But there is a table, I wasn't able to create:
-
|   t   |   |
|   e   | text  |
|   x   |   |
|   t   |
|   x   |   |
|   e   | text  |
|   t   |   |
-
LyX offers to rotate the text in the multirow, but it not horizontally 
centered (it adheres on the right border). How can I center the text.?
The other problem is the row height - the first row is bibber than the 
second one, because the multirow has a fixed height. How can I adjust 
the height of the second row?

thanks and regards Uwe

If you mean by "cancelling" that the x should stay there but be marked at
"cancelled", have a look at the attached. It is made with the "cancel"
latex package, see
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=cancellation.

If you don't know how to produce the red "cancel{}" in math mode: just write

My answer (which wiser minds can correct):  This sounds like a job for a

A question, but in Portuguese

[Carlos Fernando Knauer]

Hello !!
Excuse me,but my english is very poor.
I will write in portuguese. If you can help me, thanks.

Eu quero "cancelar" um elemento de uma equação. Exemplo:
$\frac{x(x+1)}{x}$. Eu queria cancelar o "x" em evidência no numerador
com o "x" do denominador. Como faço isso no LyX ? Como posso criar um
atalho para esse tipo de coisa ?

If somedody can translate this e-mail to english I will thank.

Thank You,

Although you cannot set it in the .layout scripts currently, you could just
write a template for your users and distribute it with the layout file.

Write a document using your layout with some nice usage examples and
comments, set the language and save-as to the template-folder
(~/.lyx/templates). Next time you want to have a new file using the
layout, start with File>New-from-template, choose the right template and
voila, the language is set.

Pro: users have a nice commented document to see the power of your layout
 and a starting point for own experiments/usage.
 
Con: your package consists of more than just a layout file. 

 LyX doesnot merge the system and private template directories:
 
   You can either put your template (as root) to
   /usr/share/lyx/templates/ or copy the standard to ~/.lyx/templates
   and add your template there.


Sincerely

Günter

These patches constitute the difference between the official LyX 
1.3.x release and Ruurd's Win32 port. You don't need to touch them. 
In fact, we should roll them back into the official LyX source.

Your problem appears to be that the 'supporting software' that LyX 
uses isn't up to the task on your system. That's things like 'perl', 
'python' and a 'shell environment'. Ruurd provides stripped down 
versions of these utilities; perhaps they are insufficient for your 
needs and you should get the real things instead.

I seem to recall some posts to the list once upon a time saying that 
lyx2lyx was not foolproof.  Might be you've hit a bug in it.

Two things come to mind:

1.  You could try running the following from a DOS prompt:

C:\applications\lyx\share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx -t221 -d2 C:/temp/work1.lyx

Note that I changed the slashes to Microsoft slashes in the program path 
but not in the path to the data file (not sure the latter makes a 
difference), and that I added the -d2 switch to put it in verbose mode 
(not sure if there should be a space between d and 2).  This might give a 
useful error message.

2.  Assuming no proprietary content, you could try posting both the Unix 
and DOS versions of work1.lyx to the list, so that some of us could try 
it on our setups.  (Or, if you're bashful, you could e-mail them to me.

Re: A Question on Win32 Lyx

Thanks, Paul,

Here is the error message I got in the debugging window when openning 
work1.lyx file:

Buffer::Buffer()
Assigning to buffer 0
Running 'C:/applications/lyx/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx -t221 
"C:/temp/work1.lyx"'

On the Lyx GUI, it said:
ERROR!
An error occured while running the conversion script.
Is that a bug ?  BTW, work1.lyx is a good lyx file, in the sense that it is 
converted from a good lyx file on Unix (converted to DOS just by changing 
the end-of-line character).

If this is still a problem, try the following.  Open a DOS window in the
LyX bin directory, and type lyx -dbg 5 at the command prompt.  It should
open the LyX GUI.  Now try importing your LaTeX file and (without closing
the LyX window) switch back to the DOS window and see what messages you
got relating to the import operation.  Hopefully, if a script blew up,
you'll find out which one (and maybe something about why) there.

Yeah, it works for conversion.  The problem I met seems from "openning" a

Re: A Question on Win32 Lyx

[Frank Chu]

Thanks so much, Guido,

I do have perl in my system (on path too) running normally all the time.  
Your are right.  I found the .lyx file I got from Unix is not DOS format.  
So I used unix2dos to change it.  Now, it still can't open the changed .lyx 
file.  It said "ERROR! An error occured while running the conversion 
script."  Below is the reLyx.bat.  I don't understand why it has a %~p0 
there.  It doesn't seem to be a right Windows env var.

@echo off
rem Wrapper script for Win32
rem written by Ruurd Reitsma
set PERLLIB=%~p0..\lib
%~p0\perl.exe %~p0\reLyX %1 %2 %3
I tried to run this script in DOS Prompt: perl reLyX xxx  (xxx.tex is a 
Latex file) and it produced a .lyx file successfully.  However the same 
error message occured when I used Lyx to open this .lyx file.  Furthermore, 
I noticed the Window environmental variable PERLLIB became ~p0..\lib, which 
doesn't seem right.

Anything wrong with the reLyX script ?

Thanks,
Frank

reLyX is a perl script, so you need perl in your system (for Windows,
if I remember correctly, there is a product called Activeperl
available for free).

Change end of line. A simple system is to load the file with vim under
windows or linux (or kwrite/kate, or any editor with end-of-line
control) and to save it again with Windows format. Or use little
efficient scripts as unix2dos, available on the Internet.

A Question on Win32 Lyx

[Frank Chu]

Hi, folks,

When I tried to
import a Latex file, it flashed out a DOS prompt window and immediately
closed that window (it seems it said "Bad Filename or command" or things
like that).  Looks like I missed some script that it tried to call for
converting latex file ?  BTW, my lyx's bin directory is on PATH.
My Win98 PC has MikTex installed and it worked all the time.
I also installed the following fonts to Windows font directory:
http://www-ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/contrib/latex-xft-fonts-0.1.tar.gz
I also have Imagemagick installed.  The latex file I tried is
just a small latex file with a few text and figures.It is a good latex
(means: it works on Unix as well as MikTex on my PC). Furthermore, I can't 
even
open a .lyx file that I generated from a lower version lyx on Unix.  I can 
read
the .lyx that this win32 lyx brings with.

Do I need to install Qt ?  I haven't yet.

Anyone knows why ?

Thanks,
Frank
PS: its relyx script is like this.  Don't understand why.
@echo off
rem Wrapper script for Win32
rem written by Ruurd Reitsma
set PERLLIB=%~p0..\lib

it's not possible from inside lyx, use any other primitive

Thanks to all those who replied.  Yes, I looked back in the mail archive (shoulda done 
that first, DOH!) and ther it was!  Now I am flowing all over the place. ;D  That 
having been said, is there *anything* the WYSIWIG word processors can do that lyx 
can't?  It seems like there isn't.  I can't think of any average writing task that 
wouldn't be easier in lyx.

I answered the same question not long ago (last week?) so (to all of you)
look at the mail-archive first, please!

Look at the attached example file!

Hope this helps,

Maybe this is more a question about tex... but...

[jiva]

Is it possible to use lyx/tex to force text to flow around graphics on a page?  ie: if 
I had a graphic, and I wanted to plop it in the middle of my page, and have my text 
flow around it (like for a newsletter or something) can I do that? and how?

Thanks
