Re: Palatino font

2005-08-11 Thread Rob S


Hi Geoff;

I have not had such problems with Palatino when using at size 12

Try adding these to the preamble

\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{textcomp}

I'm not sure which you need But I think one will solve your problem so 
add both to start with.

Lyx has helped to convert another M to a D!!

2005-07-05 Thread Rob S


Dear Lyxers;

Many thanks to all who have developed LyX and have provided me with help 
over the past 3-4 yrs.
My PhD thesis started life using 1.2.? on a very unstable (it seemed to 
me anyway ) cygwin environment and rolled off the printer for the final 
time yesterday after a flawless compile on the Win Ported LyX 1.3.5.


It is now safe with the binders leaving me to graduate this summer one 
day after my wife (doh) who also expresses similar thanks to the LyX 
team - (she changed over from using Word to using Lyx 1.3.3 in a week 
and never looked back).


Once again team,

Many Many thanks

Dr. Rob S

For the record

I used:
Report class out of the box
Natbib from the options found within preferences
Used Apalike style (tweaked to italicise et. al.) but with no other hassle
Pdflatex to export/build
Image formats .pdf, .png, .bmp and .jpg (I never really understood 
graphics formats)


Lyx 1.2.? to 1.3.5 supported by
Miktex
TCl/Bibtex
and the rest of the bits noted on the wiki page

With Windows, you may use Bibedit. That has an option (Edit -> Option)
"Translate extended ASCII" that does the necessary conversions 
automatically.


Ekkehart



Not sure if this will work for all but:


I added a touch of LaTeX code directly into the .bib file entry.

i.e. Freds{\o}e in the bib file entry will produce Fredsøe in the output.

Re: Overview of the NatBib styles - which is the right one for me?

2005-06-21 Thread Rob S





But as far as I understand the apalike.bst was not written with NatBiB in 
mind, and using it with NatBib could cause problems. This is why I started 
looking into abbrvnat.bst, plainnat.bst and unsrtnat.bst. But maybe I am 
wrong here.




I've just written my entire thesis using apalike + natbib without a problem

As I mentioned some time back though I have had to add:

Re: LyXWin not working on XP

2005-06-16 Thread Rob S



Quick Windows tip: rather than mapping a local network drive, try subst, 
which is faster (operates directly at the filesystem level - no SMB 
generation and parsing, no transfers through the loopback interface), 
cleaner, and safer (no unnecessarily-shared directory).  You can make 
the subst command an autorun entry in the Registry so it takes effect 
every time you reboot.





More info please! subst??

Can provide a more detailed step by step method for this - it may help 
others, like myself, who are not that "computer jargon" literate.


Cheers

Re: Tables too wide

2005-06-15 Thread Rob S




I imported a table from Excel (with help of a macro which exports TEX
code) as ERT. Now the table is to wide to fit in th columns of the
document, which looks ugly.


You can set column widths within Lyx.


Is there a way to prevent this, e.g. making fonts a little smaller for
the table to fit on the page?



I'm not sure if this is the best solution but I have used:

This is all in a table float;

Table title

\scriptsize (in a TEX box)

Table here

\normalsize (in a TEX box)

Re: thesis initial pages numbering and title page

2005-06-14 Thread Rob S




a)  Does anyone have a template for the title page of a thesis.


See attached - amend as reqd

I've based this around the report class - it served my needs well.

You will need to have the included files and bib file(s) in the same dir 
as the master file for this to work.
Also should you need a glossary(notation) of terms see my notes for 
creating this here:


http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Glossary


> b) It is required that arabic numbering starts only from the chapters
> and pages before that are numbered in the roman numerals . How can that

As above - example of this on the thesismaster file attached


> c) How does one force something to start from a fresh page.

Try adding the following to a TEX box

\clearpage

LyXWin Wiki Pages

2005-05-28 Thread Rob S


Hi list - well LyXWin users at least

I have a bit (an hour or two)of spare time at the moment so I'll make a 
start on moving things over to the new Windows group pages on the Wiki.


I'll keep the pagelist upto date as I go and also leave the old pages 
where they are for the time being - redirecting the links when appropriate.


Please don't expect this to happen overnight though!

If or when I get bored doing all this I'll get back to the list and let 
someone else have a go. In the mean time please can all editing of 
windows related info be made only to the OLD pages - I'll keep an eye 
open for any changes which I can then reflect over on the newer group pages.


Hope that all makes sense ;-)


Cheers

I've seen this also on the win ported 1.3.5.

If one spellchecks any of the open .lyx files for some reason the

you then change document from the file menu the spellchecker then races 
its way through this document also - annoyingly opening up all floats in 
the process.

I've learn't from this that its better to spellcheck documents one by one.

Re: Wiki: Separate group for windows-related pages?

2005-05-19 Thread Rob S


This makes sense to me. A lot of the traffic on this list is caused by
Windows-specific bugs and work arounds. Making the Windows pages more
visible and easier to extract the desired information from would be a good
thing IMO.
Of course, adding an automatic redirect to the new pages would be a cool
thing to do too :)
I have no problem with a separate wiki but:
If space is an issue then.
A lot of the main page info still refers to both the 1.3.3 and 1.3.5 
setups. I see no reason, now that version 1.3.5 appears to be stable on 
Win (with a few tweaks), why the page needs refer to 1.3.3 any longer - 
unless that is I'm told different.  This would thin out a fair bit from 
the page.

Also losing the win98 setup page would not hurt since neither myself or 
the other regular win wiki page editors have kept this up to date (at 
least not in line with the XP 2000 page)

The graphics page also could head for the bin for much the same reason - 
 it was a page I started with all good intentions of completing but.

Other than that I (and no doubt others) are trimming the main setup page 
down as and when possible.

I guess with arrival of the awaited LyX 1.3.6 there will be no need for 
a win wiki anyway ;-)

Re: How do you make a bibliography?

2005-04-21 Thread Rob S

Hi Steve;

Now I have some questions...
What is a site key, and what should I put in there? A number? A letter? A 
string? I assume it needs to be unique.
 Its a unique code to a specific reference. I tend to use the first 
authors surname followed by a number e.g.

 Smith:1
Should the author be Lastname, Firstname MiddleInitial?
In tk bibtex enter the name as it appears e.g.
A.B Clark or as Allen Brian Clark if you have the full name
for two or more authors separate each with:
and
eg A.B Clark and Derek Edward Fish
Is the year the year copyrighted?
Normally it's the year of publication
Why is there no provision to state a page number or chapter number?
enter the page range as:
1 - 99
in page box - needs to be reference type Article (or similar) which 
provides for page numbers

As for chapter  - you would normally enter this when you place a 
reference into the document.
If it's a website, what reference type do I use. tkbibtex has all sorts of 
reference types, but "Website" isn't one of them?

When referencing a website, do I put its URL in the URL field?
I tend to place these in the note field. Not sure of my logic on this 
one though!
What are CROSSREF, CODE, ANNOTE and ABSTRACT for, and do I need to use those 
just to give credit to the original source of the material?
Crossref is used when an article appears in book or similar and you need 
to reference both sources. I dont bother too much with this.

Dont bother with the others since most will choke up Bibtex - well I 
know the abstract field does anyway.

Sometimes I reference a whole book, and sometimes I reference a tiny piece of 
text out of the book (within the bounds of fair use). How do these differ as 
far as the bibiliaography?
AFAIK they dont. Reference the book and pp range??
I'll probably have more questions -- this is entirely new to me.
In that case I suggest you have a google around for bib, bibtex, etc. 
You may find a lot of the FAQs are already answered elsewhere.

Re: Elsart users

Milos;
with elsart this will give you authors on separate lines with address for 
each individual, which is senseless if they are from the same institution. 
So yeah, ERT seems to be the only way to get the other output style with 
a shared address. That's at least how I had to do it recently, but maybe 
someone else knows of a better way. 

Regards,
Milos

I'm pretty much there now (99%). A few ert boxes and an extra Style 
added to the elsart layout file to define the \corauth LaTeX commannd 
(same as footnote).

I'm just about to draft a paper using the elsart.lyx template.
Is there anyone using this (or has used this) who can offer suggestions 
on how to place multiple authors separated by commas as:

Author 1, Author 2 and Author 3
from within LyX without having to use ERT (I can reproduce all this 
without problems using ERT so I'm not too concerned if is the only option)

Re: Should this behavior be expected?

2005-04-18 Thread Rob S


Hmm! That does not seem to be the case on my linux lyx 1.3.4 where the 
procedure I follow relatively routinely is as follows:

1. Go to the first text document and highlight the text to be copied 
by highlighting and  ctrl C.
2. Click outside the highlighted text to get rid of the highlight. 
This for some reason is fairly important.
3,.Go to the other lyx document, opened by a separate lyx command.
4. Push the middle mouse button where you  want to place the copied text.

I have just done this again to ensure that it does work.Maybe it does 
not work on all configurations.

I can confirm this method works without a problem on my Windows XP

Place a "bibtex generated reference" widget(bgrw) where you want the

I really dont want to have a bibliography at the end of each chapter.
Then place a copy of the master bgrw within a comment environment at the

Bug in spell checker?

2005-04-11 Thread Rob S

Hi List;
Perhaps not a LyX issue this one so bare with me.
Lyx 1.3.3, Ruurds port for Win XP
When using the spell checker I've just found that if only one suggestion 
for a correction appears it cannot be used to replace the offending text.

 For example (using English dict) if in error I type "necessacrilary" I 
have only the one correct spelling option this can be selected but will 
not replace.

Note;  This bug will only appear if this spelling error follows another. 
If this is the FIRST spelling error the spell checker will work ok.

Re: how to insert a 'landscape page' inside a document with portrait orientation ?

2005-03-17 Thread Rob S


inside a document with portait orientation as global option, is it possible
to insert a figure (or a table) in the landscape format without rotating it
? So, I would like to have, inside my pdf export, the figure's page with a
landscape orientation, and the other pages with portrait orientation, i.e. I
would like to insert a landscape page in a document with portrait
orientation !
I have tried with rotating and landscape packages but, apparently, these
packages are only designed to rotate landscape figures for display them in a
document with portrait orientation ?
I have stumbled upon this "solution" by pure chance. I'm not sure how or 
why it works but I think it does what you request.

1. Add to preamble (add both since I forget which one is called):
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{lscape}
2. Insert the image onto a portrait page with ERT (image needs to be in 
.pdf format):

\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=9in]{picsforthesis/you_image.pdf}
\caption{Your caption.}
\label{fig:your label for ref}
\end{sidewaysfigure}
3. Run view Pdflatex to produce the .pdf file.
4. Open this file with gsview32 rather than acrobat.
5. Use the File>>Convert option in gsview32 to convert all the .pdf into 
another pdf (dont ask - i have no idea!)

6. now open the newly saved version in acrobat and the ERT inserted 
image will be in landscape.

It takes far less time doing than explaining!!

You can define your own macro bib file for these. Have a look at the one

You then need to add this to the bibtex generated box BEFORE your other

If so;
One thing to check is that the folder containing imagemagicks 
Convert.exe is in your environment PATH before any Windows System

it ;-)
# convert is passed strings in the form "FMT:FILENAME", so use the ':' to
# delimit the two parts.
# Note that Win32 filenames have the form 'C:\my\file',

The simple, if ugly solution is to open up your Edit->Preferences dialog,
select the Converters pane, select the LyX preview -> PPM converter and
change its definition to
python /lyxpreview2ppm.py
Also need to install an up to date version of Python and ensure the 
folder holing python.exe is in your system PATH. Then rename the 
currently shipped version of python.exe in lyx/bin

Preview then works fine.
But moving on---

Re: LyX 1.3.5 for Win32 released

2005-01-05 Thread Rob S

Hi Ruurd;
I see Uwe has already updated the wiki page to reflect your 1.3.5 
version including the configure.bat update.

Also, 1.3.5 incorporates an updated "configure" which now picks up 
Windoze versions of Acrobat and Ghostview (AcroRd32.exe and 
Gsview32.exe) if installed.

Your mention of the inclusion of a newer version of Sed.exe has also 
addressed another of my questions.

FYI, I did include the new sed.exe and fixed the path thing in
configure.bat.
Ruurd

* There are some visual improvements due to the new Qt version.
* No new functionality has been added.

Work to merge my modifications into the LyX code are underway, so more

Re: problems order of references with bibtex

2005-01-01 Thread Rob S

Hi Leo;
Leo Gürtler wrote:
Dear alltogether,
I have problems with the order of references in bibtex. I use Lyx, 
natbib, and dinat 1505.
The problem is, that the order of appearance is wrong (same author, 
different publications of different and the same year).

it should be (see below):
Oldenbürger1981 -> 2002
Oldenbürger2004a -> 2004e
but it comes as:
Oldenbürger2004a
Oldenbürger2004b
Oldenbürger1981 -> 2002
Oldenbürger2004c -> 2004d
Thus, 2004a and 2004b are out of order. The same goes for
Oldenbürger et al 1988 -> 1992, but it appears as 1992 and then only 1988.
Any suggestions to fix that ??
I used the Latex command
\noopsort{}
within my bib file to solve this. I'm not sure where I found how to do 
this but a quick google for "noopsort bibtex" produces a lot of pages 
which should help.

I needed to use it to force the order of these two references:
@article{Ward:1,
	year = {1999},
	volume = {26},
	pages = {561-570},
	author = {Ingrid A. K. Ward and Piers Larcombe and P. 		 
{\noopsort{a}}Veth},
	title = {A new process-based Model for Wreck Site Formation},
	journal = {Journal of Archaeological Science}
}

@article{Ward:2,
	volume = {26},
	author = {Ingrid A. K. Ward and Piers Larcombe and Richard Brinkman and 
Robert M. Carter},
	pages = {41-53},
	number = {1},
	journal = {Journal of Field Archaeology},
	title = {Sedimentary Processes and the {P}andora Wreck, {G}reat Barrier 
Reef, {A}ustrailia.},
	year = {1999}
}

In this instance the bibtex sort order was based on the third authors 
Surname. However, the noopsort command prevents this.

Sorry to be so vague but I hope that gives you at least a pointer in the 
right direction.

Thanks a lot,

I have to comment that the exact method on the wiki

Even following the tips for "If LyX's configuration

got hung up with a SED error 

sed: file chkconfig.sed line 1: Unknown option to 's'
I have just downloaded and installed SED 4.12.exe without a problem. The 
configure script runs ok with this version.

I have SED installed in C:\GnuWin32\bin with this bin directory in my PATH
Open a command prompt and try
SED --version
What version is found?  Have you renamed the old version packaged with Lyx?
and could never get past it, despite installing
various versions of GNUSED.   I think there is
something not quite right regarding that part of the
wiki page.   The part about what to do with 
"install the latest version of sed from the sed.exe
setup file, which can be found at sourceforge."  
It seems very unclear about exactly what one is 
supposed to do there.
OK - will have a look
In regards to installing the other packages, like
ghostview and acroread, I found that (I have Cygwin on
my XP box) creating soft links ln -s gswin32.exe
gs.exe helped to get the script to recognize these
programs when doing the LyX configure.If you make
copies of these programs and rename them to what LyX
is looking for, that also works to allow LyX to find
them.   Essentially the LyX script is looking for the
*nix version of these programs an doesn't check
properly for the win32 versions.   I could be wrong
about it, but that is the way it seemed to me.   So
bottom line, your LyX configure will probably go
better if you rename those programs so that LyX can
find them.   
There is a configure script on the wiki which picks up AcroRd32.exe and 
gswin32.exe providing these are in your PATH.

Find it here (from the section titled "fine tunning"):
http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/uploads/LyX/configure
(modify it need be).
Also: It may be over the top but at least works - I have ensured ALL my 
related lyx progs have the folders holding the .exe files in my PATH 
before any Windoze files.

I'm eagerly awaiting a cleaner install package. 

For the record, I put my MikTex, Ghostview,
Ghostscript, Imagemagic, and AdobeReader in the top
level at C:\
Again. Ensure they are in your PATH so that Lyx can find them. Check 
each at a command prompt to be sure.

Re: LyxWin

I've seen references here to LyxWin. I would like to know if a non-techie
Academic using Windows XP (or 2000) could be happy using LyxWin. My wife
is working on a book publication and I have wanted to get her out of Word
for some time. I can handle the general tech support and installation if
the program itself is stable and comfortable enough (as it seems to be
running under Linux).
You have the link to the wiki page - this is a well tried and tested 
install guide which is kept very much up to date.
Are there former Word writers (academic papers, no math or symbols) who
have happily made this switch? (Or any pitfalls?)
No pitfalls that I recall - use this list if you stumble into any though.
Last question: Is there an installation document somewhere that explains
how to set this up under Windows? If this is in the FAQ, then please
point me there and I'll go read further before posting any more
questions.
All the best and thank you in advance,

if the conversion is successful you should have a file in your

Re: LyX--> htlatex --> Word

I don't know tex4ht quite well, but it has a oolatex option/command.
Have you tried this? I think it will convert directly to OpenOffice
Writer format, and from there you could get to word.

Yes, I tried oolatex and deals with footnotes very well. Besides that, it 
knows also ho to deal with jurabib and natbib -- a very important feature for 
humanities. Going from Ooffice to Word is trivial and gives no problems at 
all. 

Best,

Ive tried and failed! So I'm looking for help with this please.
I have tex4ht (setup and tested and working as per Philip Vs notes) 
installed on my XP system

I also have open office 1.1.3
I have created a trial.lyx which I have exported as trial.tex. The 
suggested

htlatex trial.tex "xhtml,ooffice" "ooffice/! -cmozhtf" "-coo"
produces a few files..so now what?
Also if i do a
oolatex trial.tex
I get another bunch of files generated, the last one is trial.xml
How can I now open these in open office?
I have probably missed something here which is blatantly obvious but

This is all very strange.
I have two different setups at home and both work without errors. Both

These are the setups which I have working:
Setup 1.
Image magick 5.5.7 and Ghostscript 8.00
Setup 2.
Image magick 5.5.7 and Ghostscript 8.14
These were installed in the now tried and tested order, which is again 
given on the wiki page.

Now I have tried the newer versions of image magick (6.0.0+), but as

One thing is for certian though and that is both

I don't know if it is worth putting on the lyx wiki (I would put it but the
page is protected)I have found that with the latest version of
imagemagick it seems to stall while converting image previews from eps. Some
eps images are converted but with others it stalls showing GS> within the
lyx terminal. It only seems to happen with eps images.
Using version 5.5.7 of imagemagick resolves this.
Thanks

"Failed: gswin32.exe 0lyxpreview.ps"
Do you have gswin32.exe installed? If so is it in your system PATH?

Anyone can help me with this?
The other problem: I have associated sh.exe in

Re: Lyx installed on windows: can not reconfigure

2004-09-14 Thread Rob S

Have a look here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/WindowsSetup
Midway down this page is a section which should answer your questions.
Plus there are many other things listed on this page which you might 
find of use.

Rob S
After installed of Lyx (under D:\Program\lyx), I
opened lyx and try to reconfigure it
(Edit->Reconfigure). In the DOS window, it lists the
paths name in my windows variable, and finally it
outputs "The system cannot find the path specified". I
notice that D:\Program\MiKTex\Main\tex\latex is
already in the PATH.
I am not sure what the reconfiguration function is
looking for. Anyone can help me with this?

Re: lyxpipe and BibTeX in Windows XP

Jonathan;

  I get a message box saying 'Windows cannot open
this file: TeXFiles.sh ... What do you want to do? () Use the Web 
service to
find the appropriate program () Select the program from a list'. I can't
find an appropriate program for TeXFiles.sh.  After the message box I 
get a
BibTeX-Qt dialog which allows me to add the *.bib file I created in 
JabRef
and to select a bibliography style. 

To get this working and also to be able to View>>Tex information you 
need to:

1. Associate your .sh files with sh.exe (..\lyx\bin) Possibly not needed 
but doing so works!
2. Install GnuWin32 findutils.exe (the package setup) from

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/findutils.htm
3. Ensure the GnuWin32\bin directory is in you system PATH ahead of any 
Windows File

http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/Glossary
where I've re-written it
Rob S
;
I've just done this in this manner: Try this on a new file and see how 
you get on.

Add this the preamble
begin snip
*\usepackage[noprefix]{nomencl}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\renewcommand{\nomgroup}[1]{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{A}}{\item[\textbf{Roman Symbols}]}{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{B}}{\item[\textbf{Greek Symbols}]}{%

\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{Z}}{\item[\textbf{Mathematical Symbols}]}{}
\def\pagedeclaration#1{\dotfill\nobreakspace#1}
\makeglossary
*
***end snip***
The Ifthen package is handy to split up the notation into seperate 
lists should you need it. It is optional.

the \def\pagedeclaration etc. produces dots between abbreviation and 
page number, again optional.

I now have a seperate notation.lyx file in which I simply place an ERT 
box with this in:

*\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\nomname}
\printglossary*
In my master document I have an ERT with:
*\renewcommand\nomname{Notation} *
(guess that could also go into preamble thinking about it)
I then Include my *notation.lyx*  just as all the *rest.lyx* files
(At this stage I would suggest looking at the documentation of the 
nomencl package)

In general though each time a new symbol, abbreviation etc occurs then 
immediately after (without a space) add an ERT with the following:
*
\nomenclature[ALa**]{L}{Length\refpage}*

where from left to right:
Arefers to a Roman character (as defined in the ifthenelse 
statement of the preabmble, it would be B for Greek etc)

L is the first letter to sort the notation order
a is simply there to sort the first letter in order (in the 
case of more than one L; one may be subscripted etc)

NOTE: the terms in the [...] are purely there for sorting purposes to 
give you control over the final output. You can have a fourth term if 
needed but I have found three user entered terms suffice for me 
(hydraulic engineering)

{L}   is the letter, abbrv. etc as it appears in the text
{Length\refpage}   is the definition you give it - also tells latex to 
reference the page.

Ok; once you have gone through the document and added all the ERT boxes;
Now run File>>Export>>Pdf (PdfLatex) on the master file
This process creates the .glo file.
Dependent on your OS now open a command prompt (e.g. cmd in windows XP)
change directory to the *lyx/tmp/lyx_tmpdir/lyx_tmpbuf* folder 
which now should hold yourfile.pdf and yourfile.glo

at the command prompt enter
*makeindex yourfile.glo -s nomencl.ist -o yourfile.gls*
then
*pdflatex yourfile.tex*
That should do it! Have a look at the pdf ...any good?
BTW:
In Windows I place those last two commands in a .bat file which I 
simply copy from desktop into the lyx_tmpbuf* folder and click on.

At any rate, I've learned to close all but one document when running

Hi List;
Win XP Qt version of Lyx.
Can someone confirm this possible bug in the spellcheck function?
Open two documents, both with spelling errors and place the cursor at

Spellcheck document 1.
Then switch documents from the toolbar "document" button.
At this stage the spellchecker finds the next wrongly spelt word but any 
attempt to correct (F7) causes Lyx to die!

overpic package and pdflatex problem

2004-08-20 Thread Rob S

Hi List

Apologies for straying slightly with this one.

I'm trying to use the overpic package from within Lyx to add text to a
few graphics. I would prefer to finally compile using PdfLatex.

Now I can get the package working fine with .ps images and compile with
DVI - fine.

Problem comes with Pdflatex not recognising the .ps file type.

I've used image magick to convert image.ps to image.pdf and get an
output of sorts in .pdf format
But the image size is not as expected or hoped for. 

So my question is one of three:

Either:
How can I define the .pdf image size within the [TEX] command so as to
trim it back to size?

Or;
Can I specify image size during conversion stage?

Else;
Does anyone know a better method to add text to an .eps/.ps image from
within Lyx and still use Pdflatex to compile?

TIA

One thing I would recommend is re-installing all directly onto C:\

My structure on XP is

C: 
Progs
Lyx
Miktex
Imagemagick

For the three you have already installed
Miktex will place itself in the $Path$ on installation but you will need
to add the image magick Bin directory manually. Lyx does not need a Path
entry (someone will correct me if I'm wrong on that!)
