Columns in LyX
Dear Sir/Madam, First of all, my sincere admiration to all of those who have contributed in building up the text editor which has now becomed my preferred one. I would like to ask if there is any option in which a page can be divided in one AND two columns at the same time, that is, a one column heading with a two column text, similar to what is required by scientific journals when proposing a paper. I have been searching through the help menus without success and, hence, I thought that the best way to get a quick answer will be to contact you. Thanks very much and hope to hear from you soon, Javier Vicedo

That tends to happen automatically. If you use the author, title, etc. fields in the appropriate document class, these remain full-width even when you set the document to two columns. Failing that, I think you need to use ERT (latex commands) to switch back and forth. rick --

Re: offtopic: convert word doc to latex
If it is properly structured document and word 8/97 format then mswordview will produce a well structured HMTL version, which presumably will generate a nice LyX version via hmtl2latex and relyx. If these conditions do not aplly then it may be better to try mswordview's "competition" which do not understand the binary format. word2x is amazlingly good at extratcing the structure from the text itself and will write structured latex but needs OLE archive format understanding added. A lyx output stage is on the TODO list. Release is currently held up by the need to finish off a MS structure reading toilet roll generator for OLE support (most of both this and OLE reading code exist but need finishing, debugging, etc). catdoc is a much simpler text extarctor but newer versions are more reliable than word2x-0.005 (this should be fixed when word2x-0.o06 comes out and understand OLE archives). As far as I know no other software comes close to these GPLed options. -- Duncan (-: "software industry, the: unique industry where selling substandard goods is legal and you can charge extra for fixing the problems."

Re: Lyx/Relyx bug
Dear Amir,
thanks for your time. As I understand it, the empty brace after
\begin{thebibliography}{} is the reason why reLyX crashes here.
I therefore changed this to: \begin{thebibliography}{10}
Everything worked fine. But why does it crash here with an
empty brace, and not at your installation? Could it be that
the perl is different? Or some libraries - obviously, these
can be the source of many problems!
Using perl -v gives:

Footnotes in itemized text, Lyx 1.0.0pre6 Dec. 23 1998
Hi there!
I encountered something that should be a bug:
If you use footnotes in itemized text, Lyx writes (in TeX-file)
\footnotemark{} instead of \footnote{} (I used no boxes, if you manually
change it to \footnote, it works fine). If the itemized text is longer
then one page (the end of the itemized list is on the other page), the
footnotes will be printed not on the page where the bookmark is placed
but on the page where the list ends.
The same thing happens if you use "enumerate".
More visual:
Lyx behavior:
\begin{itemize}
\item something
\item something else\footnotemark{}%
100 more items
\end{itemize}\footnotetext{this is a footnote}
How it should be:
\begin{itemize}
\item something
\item something else\footnote{this is a footnote}
100 more items
\end{itemize}

Re: what does LFUN_...
Hello, > in lyxfunc.C there are several checks for LFUN_ When are these called, > especially LFUN_WORDFINDBACKWARD.? It has some code with many question > marks in the comments and the code seems (at a first glance) be nearly > identical to the code in lyxfr1.C (which does the find and replace > dialog). Should we merge these up? The LFUN_... are the values of enum kb_action (see commandtags.h). The value LFUN_WORDFINDBACKWARD is attached (in LyXAction.C) to the lyx function 'word-find-backward' (You can do "M-x word-find-forward Hello" in LyX). I wrote that function, and am not familiar with LyX's code : so I wrote down my doubts as comments; any resemblance with other pieces of code in LyX is not coincidence. I wrote that function because I didn't want to have to click in the search window. By binding it to C-s, one can repeat the last search, in emacs fashion. However, I got used to clicking (although it's slower), and don't use that function much. I proposed, to make a patch that removes "word-find-forward" and "word-find-backward" from LyX. Cheers, Etienne

Then, the documentation should be updated to use it, but we need some kind of work around if the needed LaTeX package is not available. Also, there has been a bunch of bug reports recently that we should have a closer look at. I'd like to fix the click policy: In math mode, the actions should happen on click, while the other stuff happens on release. This area should be refined a bit more. I finally managed to get X working on my new machine, so after exams, I'll probably have time for some work on the code for a change. Greets, Asger
Re: for crying out loud . . .
> As stated previously: > What's about rtf ? > - Can be read by ( almost ?) any WordProcessor. > - Can be produced via sgml ( sgml2rtf ). RTF format is a mirror of the Word document model. So it's basically the ordinary Word format in another wrapping. So the problems of mapping between Word document model and LyX remains. RTF is IMO even more ugly than ordinary Word format. I think that HTML is a better medium. Greets, Asger

That requires some rewriting on how the dialog works.
(doable, takes time)

\newcommand{\url}[1]{\texttt{#1}}
This will not break nicely, and other features provided with url.sty
is (obvisouly) not supported)

I have only noticed the one about -with 700 -height 700, and can not
reproduce it. What other bugs has been mentioned?

When?
We really need to get 1.0 out VSN!

When do you finish your exams?

Oops, sorry. Here it comes: System 1 is a Debian Linux with LyX 1.0.0pre4, System 2 is a SuSE Linux with LyX 1.0.0pre7 In both cases the window manager was fvwm2 Aaah! I just checked it with xwininfo, and obviously it is fvwm2 that reports wrong sizes (I used the rescale function that displays the current size of the window...) So I stand corrected, sorry for the false alarm (at least I learned a new program - xwininfo ;^> ) Peter -- ~~ Peter "Pit" Suetterlin http://www.uni-sw.gwdg.de/~pit Universitaets-Sternwarte Goettingen Tel.: +49 551 39-5048 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- * -- * ...-- * -- * ...-- * -- * ...-- * -- * ...-- * -- * ...-- * -- Come and see the stars! http://www.kis.uni-freiburg.de/~ps/SFB Sternfreunde Breisgau e.V.

If we keep it, I could change it in order to make it behave more like the dialog search (word found is selcted etc.) Regards Daniel -- PGP Key fingerprint = 3D 98 9E D2 00 B6 E0 9D 7E B9 77 23 17 E2 11 6A http://cgi4all.alabanza.com/glasatelier/

However, if there is an xforms port for your system it shouldn't be two difficult to get it to build. Hmmm... you might even need to install libXpm if your system doesn't already have it. I'm not very familiar with NeXT but I think from memory it runs Display Postscript which doesn't use X-Windows if that's the case it should still be possible to build LyX but will require a bit of extra code in a few places to substite X-Windows calls (not too many but enough to be annoying). [Any other developers know if NeXT normally runs X11?] Your best bet would be to download the latest prerelease of 1.0.0 (which is either pre7 or pre8 by now) and (assuming an xforms port exists) try compiling it. If you get a bunch of errors, myself and the other developers will try to assist in getting it built. Of course, that would require you to be our eyes and hands. I've cc'ed this reply to the LyX Developers list so you may be lucky, one of them may know if its been done before however its not listed in the documentation and I don't remember hearing about it being done before.
