Include problem
Hello all, I'm having a little problem with including child documents. Is there a way include a child document without startin a new page ? I have a rather small section that I use in several documents so I wanted to make 1 child document and include it wherever I need it but since it starts on a new page it kind off destroys the layout. I hope this makes any sense. Thanks in advance, Jouke

noweb book chapter include problem. How about external material strategy?
I've asked before, but have new enthusiasm because I just learned about the ExternalMaterial handling in lyx-1.5.4. I succeed using NoWeb strategy in LyX to interact with the statistics program R. There has been some posting about that in here lately by other people doing it too and I see Gregor has updated the Wiki: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxWithRThroughSweave Now I'm writing a book and want to include some of those Noweb articles as chapters. I create the book master document and try to include the lyx files, but when I view the book in lyx, the included documents are not put through the Noweb processor. They just appear in the output as they are in the lyx file. They don't get sent through the Lyx- LaTeX (via noweb) step. I've tried many variations on this theme. Now I'm thinking that the LyX Insert-File-Lyx Document was the wrong approach from the start. Instead, I think what I need is Insert-file-external material where the external material is customized for this type of document. But I need help in making it work. Here's why I think it might work. I noticed a neat thing LyX does that I did not know about before. An Xfig drawing can be included in 2 ways into LyX. 1. Insert- graphics Choose the fig file, then LyX will process the fig file and it will show as a graphic. The processing lyx does to the fig file translates it to postscript, I think. It just treats the fig file as a picture. 2. Insert-File-External Material. This does something different. It will decipher LaTeX markup in text in the fig file. (I think it is doing the 2 parts export to EPS format, if you know what i mean). If you put LaTeX text in your file, and you marked it with the special attribute, then LyX will process that xfig file to convert the LaTeX markup and fit it into the graphic. So in the xfig file, you can put in text like $\alpha$ and in the output, you see the Greek alpha. Note this is different from the Insert-graphics approach, where the literal string $\alpha$ appears. Seeing this external handling made me wonder, why doesn't one of the smart guys who knows LyX inside and out design a Noweb handler for External Material. The converter specified in LyX preferences to go from he noweb format Sweave to LaTeX is .R CMD Sweave $$i So, If I want to include a lyx file, I need some way to tell Lyx it needs that post processing, and that's why the external material thing seems just right. If one of you would do it for me, it would be great. More likely, you will tell me what manual to read about writing external material handlers in LyX. That would be good too, but requiring more work :) PJ -- Paul E. Johnson Professor, Political Science 1541 Lilac Lane, Room 504 University of Kansas

Re: include problem
...and that worked perfectly. So...I also tried saving that file and including it at the top of the body.lyx file, but again got several errors regarding missing or improper use of the curly brackets. Does your body.lyx file compile? If yes, then can you please post the errors that you get when you include front.lyx, thanks.lyx and body.lyx in a master file? It would be weird if a file that includes front.lyx and thanks.lyx compiles, body.lyx on its own compiles, but a file that includes all three does not compile.. nirmal

include problem
I have three files that I'd like to concatenate within lyx. Two of the
files were originally tex files and the third is a file written entirely
in lyx.
Somehow I was able to import and convert the tex files to lyx files.
They are named front.lyx and thanks.lyx. The third file is called
body.lyx, and I would like front and thanks to go at the top of body.
I have tried using the GUI in lyx to include the files using the input
and include methods, both of which fail. I've tried inserting the lyx
file, which does not work. I have also tried using an ERT box to input
the files, which also fails.
Finally, just to make sure I did not have problems with the front and
thanks files, I created a new lyx file and placed in it an ERT box that
contained:
\input{front}
\input{thanks}
...and that worked perfectly. So...I also tried saving that file and
including it at the top of the body.lyx file, but again got several
errors regarding missing or improper use of the curly brackets.
I read the recent message about trying to save the document as a
template, but I couldn't exactly figure out how to make that work in my
case. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: include problem
How does this answer the question regarding LyX and it being unable to automate the process?
