RE: TeX in LyX ?

[Bernt Lie]

It is a basic question :-).

Use Ctrl+m to switch to in-line math. Use Ctrl+Shift+m to switch to displayed 
math.

Use the following sequences:


  *   Ctrl+m  [switches to math]
  *   \lim + space + Shift+_ + x + \rightarrow + space + 0 + space + f + Alt+( 
+ x + space
  *   Space [a final space to leave math mode]

Subject: TeX in LyX ?

Hello. How do I enter a TeX command in LyX? I want to write lim_ {x-> 0} f (x) 
in the middle of the text. Does the \ displaystyle enter before the equation? 
That is: I write \ displaystyle from there I enter the mathematical mode and 
write the equation? Thanks and sorry for this basic question.

Why not simply enter it inline in math mode?

 You need to import *all* the TeX files and compile it from the ufsampleETD
 file. It will not be possible to compile the individual chapters, because
 they do not contain the necessary includes for compilation. They are
 includes for the main document.

 To do the import, you will need a layout file for the ufthesis class. I've
 attached a trivial modification of the report layout, as ufthesis is based
 upon report. But you'll probably get a lot of ERT with this, so you may want
 to modify it to take advantage of ufthesis-specific stuff. Documentation on
 that is in chapter 6 of the Customization manual.

 Put this layout file in your local layout directory and reconfigure LyX
 before doing anything else. You'll also want to put all the .sty and .cls
 packages you don't already have into your local TeX tree, so that LyX can
 find them. I'd guess that means ufenumerate.sty and ufthesis.cls, and maybe
 a couple more. If you're on Linux or something similar---i.e., if you have
 bash---then you can use this:
   for i in Latex\ Template/*.sty; do
   j=`basename $i`;
   if kpsewhich $j  /dev/null; then
   echo $j found;
   else echo $j not found;
   fi;
   done
 run from the directory above the Latex Template directory, to find out
 which you have and which you don't. Otherwise, you'll have to check them by
 hand.

 You use this script:
   for i in *tex; do tex2lyx -c ufthesis $i; done
 from an appropriate directory to do all the conversions in one go.

You must teach LyX the syntax of your command. The most simple way is
copying the syntax.default file from the system directory to your personal
.lyx directory and add at the very bottom the single line

\lipsum[]

However, if you do so, from now on the system syntax.default file is not
read anymore, which may be a problem when you upgrade. So, it is better
that you create a file containing only the line above and then modify
the LaTeX-LyX converter in Tools-Preferences-Converters. Most probably
this converter is defined as tex2lyx -f $$i $$o and you should change it
to read tex2lyx -s /path/to/your/syntax.file -f $$i $$o, where
/path/to/your/syntax.file is the file above containing that single line

1. Unfortunately, there is an error in the ACM template found on
the web (the ACM knows about it...). Get a correct version of the
ACM files by downloading  this zip file _(acm.zip)_ and unzip it.

SH: The included .tex file sigproc-sp.tex correctlyconverts to .dvi 
with: latex, bibtex, latex latex. (before, I upgraded Latex fndb/Recfg)


This is a followup of troubleshooting Tom's earlier post:
Subject: Re: .tex template  .lyx template (import troubleshooting)

Any ideas why tex2lyx fails on these ACM .tex files with both
Cygwin1.4.0 and Windows1.4.1svn? The error message is,

LyX: Cannot convert file
An error occurred whilst running tex2lyx -f nime06-template.tex
nime06-template.
Same problem/error message reported with sigproc-sp.tex

Stephen

Dear lyx users

As a novice, I would like to migrate from ms_word to latex_world using
lyx_editor.

I am supposed to use the attached .tex template but unluckily the import to
lyx fails via Tex2LyxInvokedFromLyx. 


Any ideas? Many thanks.

Hello,

I wasn't able to open your file with LyX either.
When I tried from the command line with
latex nime06-template.tex

latex complained about a missing nime*.cls file.
