Re: Embedding different document classes in multipart documents

 Hello,
 I am preparing a substantial document that consists of multiple lyx

 have an appendix that contain a number of documents that utilise the
 curriculum vitae document class and which by themselves are fine. Of
 course, when I embed them in the multipart document they don't work
 exactly as the manual says.
 The question then is simple: how can I embed documents within a
 multipart document when their class is different to the class of the
 master document.

The question is probably: how could that work? LaTeX does not allow you
to mix different classes in the same document.

Biochemical equation in lyx

Hello,

I got a question concerning biochemical equations in lyx 1.2.1:

how can I do somthing like this:

This is because the shortcaption layout listed on the above page redefines the
caption command. Use the following in your layout file instead:

  LabelType Static

 It is possible using latex code:

I discovered also I could use an external escape to the shell with
something like echo $[ 1 + 2 ] arter tweaking external_templates.
(lets not consider security here for a few minutes)

or I could include tex from gnumeric with additional processing.

while I do not understand the math_extern at all - and could really use
a pointer/example code here, these solutions appear to suffer from 
2 disadvantages

firstly, I'd quite like to be able to read the half dozen numbers I am
adding from the lyx window.   If I really want to include a big spreadsheet
somehow I can do that, but it seems overkill for addimg a couple of
numbers that maybe are in a table, maybe in the text but are described
with text.  And its nice to see the sum at write time also

secondly, I want to gather a few numbers from random sections together
in the summary chapter.And to be really difficult my summary is at
the start of the document.  \arabic{blah} appears to work as long as the
summary is after the sum.

Given the number of documents I've read where there are obselete

Add the end of your document, add 
\addtocounter{tmp}{-1}
\refstepcounter{tmp}

and then insert a label, e.g. foo (after the code above).
Then in the place you want the sum, insert a reference to the label.

BTW, when you time \add{3}, you will not see the number 3 in the output.
If you want the number to always appear in the output, define the \add
command as follows:

\newcommand{\add}[1]{#1\addtocounter{tmp}{#1}}

can't install it under SuSE 7.2

[Vinay Ramnath]

Hi,

the installation of teTeX went fine. I put it in /usr/local/teTeX, which 
was the default. However, when I tried to install LyX using rpm -Uvh 
--nodeps lyx-1.2.1* it seems like the installer can't find anything of 
my teTeX installation. Among others, it can't find a LaTeX2e package and 
it can't find kpsewhich, which is installed in /usr/local/teTeX/bin/. 
 In fact, all the binaries it looks for and can't find are there. What's 
wrong and how can I solve it? I have installed LyX 1.2.0 this way in the 
past and everything went fine, but I recently reinstalled my computer 
and I can't install LyX properly. It is installed, but lacks a lot of 
the functionality, like previewing, printing and exporting to other 
formats. Also, I can't remove it, using rpm -e lyx*.

Thanks,

I hadn't, but I just tried. It ends up the same. I installed the src.rpm

started compiling and I did not see any complaints, but I had not 
installed libXpm, which is needed for the compilation. I had XForms,

This will be fixed in 1.2.2.

And use the "Caption" style from the toolbar (not the text box in the popup).

Biochemical equation in lyx

[Jan Smid]

Hello,

I got a question concerning biochemical equations in lyx 1.2.1:

how can I do somthing like this:

enzyme
adp + p --> atp? I just found a doubledirection arrow <-->.
(the formula is an example, it is probably incorrect :-)  )

TIA!

This works! The problem is now that the shortcaptions I inserted 
with the tex command "\caption[...]{...}" disapear in the list of 
figures but appear in the cption. The list of figures consists of 
many lines just containing .. 
The captions under the figures in the document now show 
"Figure:[]."
Since I used the tex commends quite often I think I better keep on 
using the tex commands. Or is there anybody who can tell why the 
"short caption"-style is not compatible with the tex command 
"\capition[..]{..}"

This is because the shortcaption layout listed on the above page redefines the
caption command. Use the following in your layout file instead:

Style ShortCaption
  CopyStyle Caption
  LatexName shortcaption
  LabelString   "Short Caption:"
  LabelType Static
  Preamble
\let\oldcaption=\caption
\newcommand{\shortcaption}[1]{%
  \renewcommand{\caption}[1]{\oldcaption[#1]{##1}}%
}
  EndPreamble
End

Thanks Derek, Andre
I discovered also I could use an external escape to the shell with
something like echo $[ 1 + 2 ] arter tweaking external_templates.
(lets not consider security here for a few minutes)

or I could include tex from gnumeric with additional processing.

while I do not understand the math_extern at all - and could really use
a pointer/example code here, these solutions appear to suffer from 
2 disadvantages

firstly, I'd quite like to be able to read the half dozen numbers I am
adding from the lyx window.   If I really want to include a big spreadsheet
somehow I can do that, but it seems overkill for addimg a couple of
numbers that maybe are in a table, maybe in the text but are described
with text.  And its nice to see the sum at write time also

secondly, I want to gather a few numbers from random sections together
in the summary chapter.And to be really difficult my summary is at
the start of the document.  \arabic{blah} appears to work as long as the
summary is after the sum.

Given the number of documents I've read where there are obselete 
sections after a couple of changes, many word processors must have
this problem.  

regards, John

Add the end of your document, add 
\addtocounter{tmp}{-1}
\refstepcounter{tmp}

and then insert a label, e.g. "foo" (after the code above).
Then in the place you want the sum, insert a reference to the label.

BTW, when you time \add{3}, you will not see the number 3 in the output.
If you want the number to always appear in the output, define the \add
command as follows:

\newcommand{\add}[1]{#1\addtocounter{tmp}{#1}}

lyx to microsoft word

[Thai DANG]

Hi

Do you know if there is a tool to convert Lyx format to Microsoft Word 
format ?

Thanks.

Yes and no.  I'm using pdfscreen for my talks, and tried to do it in LyX
in the beginning, but it prooved to be too tedious, as most stuff had to
be ERT anyhow (I'm using PPower4 too).

can't install it under SuSE 7.2

[Vinay Ramnath]

Hi,

the installation of teTeX went fine. I put it in /usr/local/teTeX, which 
was the default. However, when I tried to install LyX using rpm -Uvh 
--nodeps lyx-1.2.1* it seems like the installer can't find anything of 
my teTeX installation. Among others, it can't find a LaTeX2e package and 
it can't find kpsewhich, which is installed in /usr/local/teTeX/bin/. 
 In fact, all the binaries it looks for and can't find are there. What's 
wrong and how can I solve it? I have installed LyX 1.2.0 this way in the 
past and everything went fine, but I recently reinstalled my computer 
and I can't install LyX properly. It is installed, but lacks a lot of 
the functionality, like previewing, printing and exporting to other 
formats. Also, I can't remove it, using rpm -e lyx*.

Thanks,
Vinay

See my post of Monday called "problems with equation labels in 1.2.1 - file
corruption" for details about the reasons of the bug.
I have no solution (I replaced all spaces in 100+ equations with hyphens, and
re-referenced everything), but at least, you are not alone to have suffered from
this bug...

Olivier.

subfigure

[Max Bian]

Hi.

I really need to get the subfigure package to put the label on the left (or
right) of the figures.  It takes too much space at the bottom.  Label at left
is quite oftenly seen in books, papers.

Anyone knows a alternative package to subfigure, or can tell me how to hack it?

Thanks.

Max

Re: can't install it under SuSE 7.2

[Vinay Ramnath]

I hadn't, but I just tried. It ends up the same. I installed the src.rpm 
package now, since the rebuild option doesn't work on the rpm. It 
started compiling and I did not see any complaints, but I had not 
installed libXpm, which is needed for the compilation. I had XForms, 
though. Running the lyx command in a terminal window runs LyX without 
any complaints, but it still has the same problem, that is, it lacks the 
functionality I was talking about. Is there any way I can change this?

You don't *need* to go as far as .DOC format, you just need to convert
into .RTF format, because M$-Word reads RTF.
