I haven't used Lyx or LaTeX for some time, so things have changed, if I
ever knew..
1) If I create a document with blank style, or from the
letter template, when I add a URL link it does not work, either in xdvi
or PDF.
If I add the following preamble (stolen from the
UserGuide source) in Document/Settings, it works:
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf % if pdflatex
\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{ pdftitle = {Test}, pdfauthor = {My Name}, pdfsubject = {Example}}
\else % if dvi or ps is produced
\usepackage[ps2pdf]{hyperref}
\fi
- figured this out on the fly while composing this message
Naively, I would expect links to work if I create them using the GUI and
check "generate hyperlink".
2) Is there a graphical "diff" utility - if a document is updated, either
using Lyx version control, or externally using SVN, is there a way to
generate graphical differences, e.g. mark up document in red/blue for
added/deleted sections as in tkdiff ?
3) Is there an HTML output filter ? latex2html is too old and fails
miserably on Lyx exported latex.
4) Is it possible to choose which PDF output filter to use on the command
line ? "lyx -e pdf" uses dvips, which gives me "Bad bounding box
in Type 3 glyph" in xpdf and does not create the PDF metadata (title,
author etc - nice for search engines)
On Scientific Lunix 5.3 (=~ CENTOS =~ RHEL) I have
lyx-1.5.6
tetex-3.0-33
tetex-latex-3.0-33
tetex-xdvi-3.0-33
ghostscript-8.15.2
xpdf 3.02
acroread 9.1.0
