Maybe the problem is that the \citeN command is fragile (which cite package
are you using?), so you should put \protect (in LaTeX mode) before it.
Note that the bug is actually in 1.1.4 as it doesn't report the LaTeX errors
correctly.

First, if you use ps2pdf, you should use gs version 6.0 (not 5.x)
Second, if you use the EC fonts (T1 font encoding),
you should add \usepackage{ae,aecompl} to the preamble.

BTW, it may be better to use pdflatex directly for doing presentations.
Look for example at the pdfslide package or the PPower4 post-processor.

Nested input will work if LyX doesn't use temporary directories
(put "\use_tempdir false" in the lyxrc file).
If LyX uses temporary directories, it creates all doc*.tex files,
but it puts doc1.tex & doc2.tex in one directory
(e.g. /tmp/lyx_tmp11555aaa/lyx_bufrtmp11555aaa), and the doc3.tex in another
directory (e.g. /tmp/lyx_tmp11555aaa/lyx_bufrtmp11555aab).
This is a bug that needs to be fixed.
Re: Lyx-1.1.5pre3

The problem is that the document is in German, but some words are in English (american), and there is a bug in the code for handling mixed languages in a table. Now, I presume you didn't want to have English text in the document. To fix this, select the whole text, open the character style popup (alt+l c) select german from the language combox, and press ok. Another question is how did you manage to get the English words? It may have happened if you copy&paste from another document, which had the default language. Is this what happened?

You can use arrays for composing two symbol vertically. However, for arrows it is better to use the amsmath commands \xleftarrow and \xrightarrow. Use can use these command in the math editor, but you don't get visual representation for these commands. Again, the addition of better support for these (and other amsmath) commands should be done after the merge with the new mathed.

To create such a link, use the \href command, e.g.
\href{http://www.lyx.org}{LyX homepage}
(you need to enter this text in LaTeX mode).
You also need to put \usepackage{hyperref} in the preamble.
Also note that the tex2html converter you use should have support for the
\href command.
Future versions of LyX may have support for the hyperref package.

You only need to use one of the above (i.e., the 'ae' package is only needed
when you use the T1 font encoding).
It should also be mentioned that if you use ps2pdf to create the pdf, you
need to use ghostscript version >= 6.0, and put the following in ~/.dvipsrc
p+ psfonts.cmz
p+ psfonts.amz

Not really. The following FAQ explain how to insert figures with pdflatex.
It also explain how to use outline fonts (the suggested way is perhaps better
than using the pslatex package).
PDF mini-FAQ
1. How to create a PDF file from a LyX file ?
There are two main ways:
a) Export the file to Postscript and then use a ps->pdf converter
(e.g. ps2pdf, or Adobe Distiller). If you use ps2pdf, you should use
ghostscript version >= 6.0, as earlier versions don't handle outline fonts
properly.
b) Export the file to latex, and then run pdflatex on it several times
(you may also need to run bibtex/mkindex).
2. Why the text looks really bad when I view it with Acrobat Reader?
The problem is that bitmap fonts are displayed poorly by Acrobat Reader.
When creating a PDF from the LyX file, you need to use outline font instead of
the default bitmap fonts (in fact, you should also use outline fonts for
Postscript files). Recent LaTeX distributions come with Postscript Type 1
version of the standard (Computer Modern) fonts. pdflatex uses these font by
default. Dvips doesn't use these fonts by default, so to make it use them,
add the following to lines to ~/.dvipsrc
p+ psfonts.cmz
p+ psfonts.amz
If the default font encoding is used, nothing else need to be done.
However, if the T1 font encoding is used, then LaTeX uses the newer EC
fonts, for which there are no Type1 version. The solution is to use the ae
package which emulates T1 coded fonts using the standard CM fonts. This is
done by adding "\usepackage{ae,aecompl}" to the preamble of the LyX file.
Note: LyX uses by default the T1 font encoding. If you wish to change that,
add the line "\font_encoding default" to the ~/.lyx/lyxrc file.
An alternative option, is to use the 'standard' Postscript fonts instead of
the Computer Modern fonts. To do that, you need to add "\usepackage{pslatex}"
to the preamble of the file (in LyX 1.1.5 you can just select pslatex as the
global font in the document layout popup).
However, there are several problems with this method, so the previous method is
recommended.
3. How can I use pdflatex on a file with (eps) figures ?
pdflatex doesn't support inclusion of eps files. However, it does support
inclusion of pdf file. So if you have a LyX files that includes an eps figure,
say foo.eps, you need to do the following:
a) Convert foo.eps to pdf by 'epstopdf foo.eps'
b) In the latex file, you need to change the command that inserts the figure:
search for the "\includegraphics{foo.eps}" command, and change it to
"\includegraphics{foo.pdf}". An even better alternative, is to use
"\includegraphics{foo}" which will work with both latex and pdflatex.
Note: LyX 1.1.6 will probably use the latter form of the \includegraphics
command, which will save you the effort of changing the latex file.

Why not?
When inserting the label in LyX, give it the name tab:mytable,
and then you can insert the prettyref. No need for ERT!

It seems that you expect to use labels without a prefix, (like MyTable),
and let lyx automatically generate the prefix (tab:) when generating the
latex file.
This is not done by LyX.
An interesting question is whether it is possible to write a smarter LaTeX
package, which doesn't need the prefixing the labels (i.e., the \label command
is redefined to output also the counter name to the auxiliary file) ?

More generally, you need the language of the paragraph to be different then the language of the first character in the paragraph.

Actually, LyX 1.1.5 has this feature, but without GUI support. To use it, move to the paragraph, then type "M-x paragraph-spacing other 1.5" (or any other number instead of 1.5). However, it will not work if LyX was compiled by a compiler without sstream support. I've fixed the bug, and I'll send a patch to the lyx-devel mailing list.

I strongly agree, however I recommend reading about BibTeX database format even when using a GUI just to understand what is happening as the concept is very different from "normal" textprocessing systems (far better) Besides Chapters about BibTeX in any good LaTeX book I recommend the files btxdoc.txt und btxdoc.bib that come with BibTeX and should be part of every complete TeX installation.

I've already added this feature :) However, the inputenc package allows changing the input encoding only between paragraphs, (not inside paragraphs).

You can also have outline fonts when using ps2pdf.
The problem is that either you are using an old Ghostscript (version < 6.0),
or that your dvips isn't set to use outline fonts.

It is perhaps cleaner to use the \boldsymbol{} command (from AMS math)
for bold symbols.
When using pslatex, the \boldsymbol{} (or \boldmath) doesn't work as
the Postscript fonts do not have a bold symbol font. You should use instead
the \pmb{} (poor man's bold) command (from AMS math).
You can also redefine the \boldsymbol command by putting
\renewcommand{\boldsymbol}[1]{\pmb{#1}} in the preamble.

\mathbf only works with latin letters, and not with greek.

If bitmap graphics is needed, perhaps the best way is to use pdflatex which can directly include JPEG/PNG/TIFF images. Unfortunately, the most recent stable version (1.1.5fix1) doesn't have PDF support, so you will have to export the file as latex and run pdflatex yourself (the CVS version does have PDF support).

Yes. If you don't need to use (normal) \frac, just put the following line in
the preamble:
\def\frac##1##2{\infer{##2}{##1}}
If you do need to use \frac, then put the following line in the preamble
\def\foo#1{{\def\frac##1##2{\infer{##2}{##1}}#1}}
and then put \foo{} around each formula inset with a proof (outside of the
insets).

(1) You can't enter umlauts within LyX. (2) Umlauts are not shown in the LyX window (3) Umlauts are not shown in the DVI/Postscript. I suspect that (3) happens as the encoding defined by the inputenc package (Latin1) clashes with the encoding defined by the CJK package (Big5, GB etc.). Perhaps you need to use the UTF8 encoding option of the CJK package (if CJK-LyX supports it), or use Omega instead of LaTeX (if CJK-LYX supports it). Also, if (3) happens, please send me a small example file (the lyx file + the latex file). Anyhow, I plan of integrating the CJK-LyX into the normal version, and I hope that in this process your problem will be solved.

The Section* environments do not appear in the TOC menu as they also do not appear in the "Table of Contents" generated by latex. However, you can use the non-stared environments (section, ...), and set the section number depth (using layout->document menu) to -1 (this will omit the numbering from these environments).

The multi-lingual support does the following: 1. Change the font between languages that uses different fonts (e.g. English/Russian). 2. Make latex use correct hyphenation patterns (i.e., if you write some German text inside a English document, and you don't mark this text as German, the German words will not get hyphenated). 3.

In the latex preamble you have a '{' which isn't closed by '}'.

You don't write what exactly is your problem with the output generated by
latex2html. My guess is that at least one problem is that the URLs entered
using the URL inset are not translated into hyperlinks.

This is a warning message of latex2html telling that it doesn't know how to
handle these packages (although it can handle the \url command).
> The ???.aux file was not found
Before running latex2html from LyX, you need to create a .aux file by
selecting file->export->dvi. This bug was fixed in lyx 1.1.6
> redefining command \url
> previous meaning of \url will be lost
>
> Unknown commands IfFileExists
LyX generates the following latex code:
\IfFileExists{url.sty}{\usepackage{url}}
{\newcommand{\url}{\texttt}}
which is used to define a simple \url command if the url.sty package is not
available. However, latex2html doesn't understand the IfFileExists, which
causes it to redefine \url as \texttt, and therefore, it will not create a
hyperlink when the \url command is used.
Solutions to this problem:
1) Check if this bug happens in the latest version of latex2html.
2) Switch to another latex->html converter.
3) Export the lyx file to tex, and change the two lines above
(\IfFileExists... ) to '\usepackage{url}', and run latex2html manually.
4) Write a script that does (3) or use the lyx2html script from
http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~tron/opensource/node31.html

You can use the new insetexternal in lyx-1.1.6pre2:
Add the following lines to LYXLIBDIR/external_templates
Template Listing-Java
GuiName "[Program: $$FName]"
FileFilter "*.java"
AutomaticProduction false
Format LaTeX
Product "\\mylisting{language=Java,$$Parameters}{$$FName}"
FormatEnd
Format Ascii
Product "$$Contents(\"$$FName\")"
FormatEnd
TemplateEnd
And in the LyX file, put the following in the preamble:
\usepackage{listings}
\newcommand{\mylisting}[2]{\lstinputlisting[labelstep=1,#1]{#2}}
You can add any parameter you like to \lstinputlisting.
Then use File->Insert->External material to insert program listings
(you can add additionally parameters (e.g. caption={...} in the parameters
text input box).

The above solution will set the language of the marked text to the language of the document. However, you don't want to do this! If you put, for example, a French sentence in an English document, you need to mark it as French to get correct hyphenation. If the blue lines are too annoying, you can disable them by putting "\mark_foreign_language false" in ~/.lyx/lyxrc (but then you won't be able to tell when a text is marked by a foreign language, so I don't recommend doing this).

It seems that babel doesn't have support for Malay so this won't help.
I provided a solution for the original question in another mail.
However you should know that lyx >= 1.1.5 does have full babel support,
including multi-lingual documents: You select the main language in
layout->document->language, and you can change a paragraph/sentence to a
different language using layout->character->language.
LyX will automatically generate the necessary \selectlanguage commands and the
\usepackage{babel} command.

Perhaps you use a footnote in a section, in which case LyX redefines
the footnote command, which probably confuses the latex2html converter.
Try exporting to latex, and check if you get the following in the beginning
of the file:
%% Special footnote code from the package 'stblftnt.sty'
%% Author: Robin Fairbairns -- Last revised Dec 13 1996
\let\SF@@footnote\footnote
...
\expandafter\noexpand\csname SF@gobble@opt \endcsname}
\def\SF@gobble@twobracket[#1]#2{}
If so, remove this part, and run latex2html manually.
If the above doesn't help, try using a different latex2html converter:

Here is a possible solution (there may be a better solution):
In the preamble put
\newcommand{\foo}[1]{\mbox{\begin{tabular}{@{}c@{\,}|} \hline #1\\
\end{tabular}\,}}
and when in the math editor, type \foo{n
(you will see foo{n} where foo{} is in red, and n in blue).

This will generate too much space between the title/author and the beginning
of the text.
A better option is to insert a note in the date layout, or alternatively,
insert {} in latex mode in the date layout.

The fax support in 1.1.6 is only for GUI fax programs.
(it is equivalent to \fax_program in 1.1.5), but the internal fax dialog
was removed, so there is no support for command line fax programs.
You can choose which GUI fax program to use by putting
\converter ps fax "yourfaxprogram $$i" ""
in lyxrc (or preferences).
The GUI fax program is any program that accept a postscript file as an
argument, open a dialog for choosing phone number (from an address book),
and then runs the command line fax program as with the appropriate arguments.
I don't know if there such programs other than ksendfax (maybe tkhylafax
which only works with hylafax), but it should be very easy to write such a
program in {tcl,python,perl}/tk.
Any volunteers ?

In 1.1.6pre2 you should use \converter ps fax "tkhylafax -file $$i" in lyxrc/preferences (or define this converter using the GUI).

You can do this in 1.1.6, so if you are brave you can try lyx-1.1.6pre2
(note that its file format is not backward compatible with 1.1.5, though only
when tables are used).

A better solution:
In the layout file, replace the line
\newtheorem{example}{Example}[chapter]
by
\newtheorem{example}{Example}
This will also allow you to use the artice class.

I've posted a FAQ on this subject some time ago. Here is an updated version:
PDF mini-FAQ
1. How to create a PDF file from a LyX file ?
LyX >= 1.1.6 have support for PDF by either
a) generating a Postscript file, and then running a Postscript->PDF converter
(e.g. ps2pdf or pstill). If you use ps2pdf, you should use
Ghostscript version >= 6.0, as earlier versions don't handle outline fonts
properly (see also question 2).
b) Running pdflatex.
With pdflatex you need to convert your eps figures to pdf (see question 3),
and you cannot use pstricks.
On the other hand, with pdflatex it is possible to insert directly images
in JPEG or PNG format, use TrueType fonts, and more.
2. Why the text looks really bad when I view it with Acrobat Reader?
The problem is that bitmap fonts are displayed poorly by Acrobat Reader.
When creating a PDF from the LyX file, you need to use outline font instead of
the default bitmap fonts (in fact, you should also use outline fonts for
Postscript files). Recent LaTeX distributions come with Postscript Type 1
version of the standard (Computer Modern) fonts. pdflatex uses these font by
default. Dvips doesn't use these fonts by default, so to make it use them,
add the following to lines to ~/.dvipsrc
p+ psfonts.cmz
p+ psfonts.amz
If the default (OT1) font encoding is used, nothing else need to be done.
However, if the T1 font encoding is used, then LaTeX uses the newer EC
fonts, for which there are no Type1 version. The solution is to use the ae
package which emulates T1 coded fonts using the standard CM fonts. This is
done by adding "\usepackage{ae,aecompl}" to the preamble of the LyX file.
However, some glyphs are missing from the CM fonts (e.g. eth, thorn),
and they are taken from the EC fonts. Therefore you get these glyphs as
bitmaps.
Note: LyX uses by default the T1 font encoding. If you wish to use the default
font encoding (this is not recommended, unless you only write English
documents), add the line "\font_encoding default" to the ~/.lyx/lyxrc file.
An alternative option, is to use the standard Postscript fonts instead of
the Computer Modern fonts. To do that, you need to select pslatex as the
global font in the document layout dialog. There is no need to use the ae.
When using the Postscript fonts, the result PDF file is smaller as the fonts
are not saved into the file. Furthermore, the Postscript fonts include all T1
glyphs. On the other hand, the Postscript fonts have no bold symbol font, so
poor man's bold must be used (see question 4). The Postscript fonts also
look different from the Computer Modern fonts.
To sum up, both the Computer Modern and the Postscript fonts gives good
results (with few exceptions).The decision of which one to use is a matter of
taste.
3. How can I use pdflatex on a file with (eps) figures ?
Pdflatex doesn't support inclusion of eps files. However, it does support
inclusion of pdf file. So if you have a LyX files that includes an eps figure,
say foo.eps, you need to do the following:
a) Convert foo.eps to pdf by 'epstopdf foo.eps'
b) When you insert the figure in LyX, do not write the file extension:
For example, when inseting the file 'foo.eps', you need to write 'foo'
in figure dialog.
Note: In 1.2.0 it will be possible to use the new insetgraphics for inserting
various kinds of images, and it will handle all the necessary transformations.
(a semi-functional insetgraphics exist it in 1.1.6. To use it, type
M-x graphics-insert.
4. Why the \boldsymbol{} command doesn't work when I use pslatex ?
The Postscript fonts do not have a bold symbol font. The solution is to use
the \pmb{} (poor man's bold) command.
It is possible to redefine the \boldsymbol command to use \pmb
by putting
\renewcommand{\boldsymbol}[1]{\pmb{#1}}
in the preamble.
5. Is it possible to do write latex code which is processed only when running
pdflatex ?
Yes. Here is an example:
\newif \ifpdf
\ifx \pdfoutput \undefined
\pdffalse
\else
\pdftrue
\fi
\ifpdf
\pdfinfo { /Author (your name and e-mail address)
/Title (official title -- i.e., title element)
/Subject (one line description of the document)
}
\pdfcatalog { /PageMode (/UseNone)
% /OpenAction (fitbh)
}
\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
\else
\usepackage[ps2pdf]{hyperref}
\fi

The examples you have may be partial files, i.e. no \begin{document} ..

This is a known bug in 1.1.6pre3: the list of layouts is not updated after
changing the document class (you need to close the file and reopen it to get

You can use the caption layout instead of using the putting \caption in

Global setting are in layout->document, in float placement field.
The setting of a single float can be changed by putting (for example) [b] in
latex mode as the beginning of the float.

You should either write the \caption command in latex mode.
Alternatively, you can use the following hack:
Insert the following lines to your .layout file
Style Caption
LatexName mycaption
Preamble
\newcommand{\mycaption}[1]{
\ifx \shortcaption \undefined
\caption{#1}
\else
\caption[\shortcaption]{#1}

Style ShortCaption
CopyStyle Caption

LabelString "Short Caption:"
LabelType Static

\newcommand{\setshortcaption}[1]{
\newcommand{\shortcaption}{#1}
}
EndPreamble
End
and then, if you want to add a short caption, put a ShortCaption paragraph
before the Caption paragraph.

It is possible!
The following solution is based of the footnote.sty package, after changing
one line (so the footnotes will not appear as footnotes at the last page of
table).
To use it, put
\usepackage{myfootnote}
\makesavenoteenv{longtable}
in the preamble (and use \footnote in the longtable as usual).

Put

in the preamble (this will work in the standard classes article/report/book).
You might need to put negative space instead of 0pt.

The [n] is for unicode characters which cannot be converted to latin1
(in your case, I think that these are spacing characters).
To get rid of those, edit the file text.c in the wv sources,
and uncomment line 1622 (the line

)
Also, you can send your complaints to the wv authors.

Put {} in latex mode in the caption paragraph.
Alsom, you probably want to change the text 'Figure 1:' to 'Figure 1.'
(or 'Figure 1').
This is done by putting the following in the preamble:
\usepackage{caption2}
\renewcommand{\captionlabeldelim}{.}

You can fix this by putting the following line in the preamble:

You need to change the layout file.

Try using the attached seminar.layout. It is used like the default slides
layout (slides.layout).

Please run LyX with the '-dbg depend' flag, open a file, do view->dvi, make a change in the file, and do view->dvi again. Now, send to lyx-devel all the debug messages from LyX.

Open the preferences dialog, select converter from the top row, then formats from the bottom. Fill the fields as follows: Format=envelope,GUIname=Envelope (leave the rest empty) and press Add. Now go to the converters tab, and add an ASCII->envelope converter (from=ASCII, to=Envelope, Converter="envelope $$i").

Only _one_ of the above should be used!
(and instead of the latter, it is better to use \usepackage{ae,aecompl} ).

It's been a while). Anybody knows the name of this variable ? Another solution might be to put 3 images and 3 captions in each figure floats.

In order to autodetect the wvCleanLatex program, it must be in your path. Did you did a make install after compiling it ? You can also add a Word->Latex converter manually using the preferences dialog. > Is it possible to use the old mswordview in Lyx (i.e. convert Word to > HTML, then HTML to LaTeX)? Yes. You just need to define a Word->html and html->latex converters in the preferences dialog (but you will probably need to install a html->latex converter).

Currently, you need to put a "Comment" paragraph between any two consecutive Definition paragraphs.
