RE: Re: [expert] WYSYWYG for latex under linux
I have read that the best almost Wysiwyg option for latex under linux is TexShell; unfortunately it seems to be so hard the configuration, I haven't been capable of installing it yet. Has anyone experience with this package?, any help will welcome; thanks a lot Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) - Mensaje Original - Remitente: Declan Moriarty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fecha: Miércoles, Abril 4, 2001 1:35 pm Asunto: Re: [expert] WYSYWYG for latex under linux > On Tue, 03 Apr 2001, Gary wrote: > > On Tue, Apr 03, 2001 at 09:15:20AM + or thereabouts, Declan > Moriarty wrote: > > > Thanks Gary - Now that I'm running a faster cpu I'll try going > back to it.

Thanks Gary - Now that I'm running a faster cpu I'll try going back to it. At this point I'm going to make an AWFUL confession: I still keep windoze 95 for the Lotus Wordpro that lives there.

Hello Declan, I have been using WP8 for about a year in Linux, and many years in winders before that, and there was no cost associated with it. Just register for a key for usage after 30 days usage. I also have WP macro scripting with it. I was also able to convert winders specialized medical vocabularies over. I have also found that StarOffice 5.2 has one of the best Word conversions out there. I have not found any Word document that has not converted cleanly, including headers, footers, etc, and you can save in RTF format. -- Best regards, Gary Today's thought: Before you criticize someone walk a mile in his shoes.

RE: Re: [expert] WYSYWYG for latex under linux
Thanks a lot Declan, I will try Maxwell but it seems that they stoped the development by 1998, isn't it? I am trying wint nedit also, that has the possibility to put tex as language preference and then the commands appear higlithed. It could be a good solution to latex.

Re: [expert] WYSYWYG for latex under linux
Best I've seen was Maxwell - writes m$word6, & .RTF, with the version I have. I share your inhibitions with klyx - it has it's mind made up what it's doing, and it's difficult enough to change it. There is Wordperfect 8, but they seem to want money for it, and it's bloatware anyhow. The 30 day trial turned me off entirely. -- Regards, Declan Moriarty Applied Researches - Ireland's Foremost Electronic Hardware Genius A Slightly Serious(TM) Company Good judgement comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgement.

Re: [expert] WYSYWYG for latex under linux
You can save files as latex from lyx (do not use klyx, it is major broken and no longer in development). Also, the output of lyx is text as well. Try it. Save a lyx file and then open it in a text editor. Beyond that, I know of no WYSIWYG editor for latex. Lyx is a "WYSIWYM" app, meaning that what you mean for it to look like is how it turns out and the image on the screen is a reasonable face to work with.

[expert] WYSYWYG for latex under linux
Hello folks; I am taken a latex course and after every session I am most for use this wonderfull text-compiler system. The course it under windows, but using free software. But my aim is to use latex under linux, nevertheless, the use of a WYSIWYG text editor is for me more interesting that just an old character editor. I know lyx and klyx in linux, but they use a particular file format, different of tex, I don't belive this is a good idea, the tex format is multiplatform, so klyx or lyx have, for me, a big handicap. I have tryed to find any open-source WYSIWYG tex editor, but I haven't found nothing at the moment. Do any person of the list know some one? Thanks a lot for your attention Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)
