Re: Automated PDF creation under windows
I believe the correct format name to use is the "short name", so for pdflatex it would be lyx --export pdf2 document.lyx Look in Tools->Preferences->File Handling->File Formats to see the short name for each format.

Something like hunspell-devel-* for hunspell (I don't know the package name for RedHat and I don't know either if it exists). After doing so LyX detects it at configure time and will be build with hunspell support. This should be mentioned in config.log. There is no configure option. > Until I do this, I cannot provide a path for Hunspell as the path > section is greyed out, and I cannot select the Enchant engine. Hunspell is not Enchant.

Re: Lyx with spelling dictionary
Dear Stephan, Thanks for your quick response. What option do I provide lyx with in order to compile with enchant/hunspell etc.? I cannot find this information in the README, INSTALL etc., Until I do this, I cannot provide a path for Hunspell as the path section is greyed out, and I cannot select the Enchant engine. -Ben On 17 January 2014 13:11, Stephan Witt wrote: > Am 17.01.2014 um 13:44 schrieb Ben Lowe : > >> Hi, >> >> I'm using redhat 6; I've tried downloading the latest source and >> following these steps: >> http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/CreatingLyXRPM#toc3 >> >> And also tried creating an RPM package, however the dictionary choice >> in preferences > language settings > spellchecker; all options are >> greyed out, and I cannot provide a hunspell path under preferences >>> paths as this is greyed out.

Hi, you have to provide the developer packages of the spell checker of your choice at compile time (of LyX). In case it's enchant you have to configure enchant, in case it's hunspell you may provide the path for the dictionary files under preferences if they're not found automatically. Stephan
Lyx with spelling dictionary
Hi, I'm using redhat 6; I've tried downloading the latest source and following these steps: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/CreatingLyXRPM#toc3 And also tried creating an RPM package, however the dictionary choice in preferences > language settings > spellchecker; all options are greyed out, and I cannot provide a hunspell path under preferences >paths as this is greyed out. I have relevant hunspell dictionary files in the ~/.lyx/dicts/ folder and they are named correctly. This a common issue with linux due to not compiling it with spellchecking support, and a fix is apparently to use 'Enchant' engine instead, however I have the Enchant package, and I still cannot select any spellchecker engines from the spellchecker menu. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can compile lyx on Redhat with spell checking support? Many Thanks, Ben Lowe

Automated PDF creation under windows
Hi I would like to export a lyx file on the command line to a PDF. This should be included in a automated process building a bigger software package. I tried Lyx.exe --export pdflatex document.lyx but nothing happens. I can see that lyx.exe comes up in the background, starts some child processes (python.exe) and then it exits after a couple of seconds and the PDF isn't created. Exporting the file from the editor takes about a minute or so and end successfully. Even Lyx.exe -help doens't produce any output. Lyx version is 2.9 Any hints? Regards Matthias
Re: simple algorithm float numbering (1, 2, 3,...)
I found out the solution. Just insert in the Latex Preamble:
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithout{figure}{chapter}
\counterwithout{equation}{chapter}
\counterwithout{algorithm}{chapter}
and you got simple (1, 2, 3, ...) numbering of figures, equations and
algorithms.
Cheers,
Matej.

Good to hear. So the .plantuml -> .svg -> .png is working.

The conversion should be done by LyX. AS I said, I use rsvg, and it works
as expected.

Hm - no idea here - if the conversion to a .svg -> .pdf I have no idea why
it is not included. Just make a small example .lyx file and post it here
together with the .plantuml file so that I can try it out if it works here.

Re: How to configure plantuml with lyx
Thanks Rainer, I am able to generate diagram into lyx master file using the
steps shared by you. Thank you very much.
My master file include the .plantuml file as graphic as suggested by you
and it is working fine.
I wanted to export whole file as PDF so
Next I used inkscape to convert SVG to PDF by adding convertor.
when i run export as PDF image is not included into the master PDF doc.
I can see the SVG to PDF conversion happening into the temp cache
directory. but somehow it is not included into master file any pointer will
help.
