language settings vs. spell checker
Hi,
I ran into trouble when having several documents
loaded each in a different language (which is set
per document in Layout-Document-Language).
The spellingchecker will use that language setting
to find the correct database. However, names
are not the same. For example with dutch:
In LyX this is "dutch"
In ispell this is "nederlands" ("dutch" in dutch).
I can manually enter "nederlands" in the language
settings in Preferences, but then my other english
document is wrongly spellchecked :).
I have several remarks questions to this problem:
1) Assuming that each document is entirely in one
single language, but simultaneously loaded documents
can each be in a different language: it then would
not be convenient to set the ispell language in
the general Preferences dialog.
An additional ispell-language setting should be
added to the Layout-Document-Language dialog.
Does that make sense?
2) Another solution for 1) could be changing the
language file, that comes with LyX. The first
and second column in this file are ALWAYS the
same. Why is that? We could use the second column
for an equivalent language name, for example:
dutch nederlands
french francais
spanishespanol
german deutsch
swedishsvenska
If ispell reports to LyX that it can't find the "dutch"
database, then LyX should tell ispell to try again for
the "nederlands" database.
3) If I remember well, one can change the language
settings (temporarily) anywhere inside a LaTeX
document. You can mix lanaguages and tell LaTeX
to do the appropriate hyphenation correctly per
language-section.
If that could be done in LyX too, LyX could use
that information with the ispell call (change the
ispell-database when a language change appears).
Would that be suitable for a future extension?
Just some thoughts.
Regards,
Rob.

gnome: cleanup and update() to updateSlot()
Hi! the attached patch replaces NULL with 0 in the gnome frontend code and makes the frontend to compile again by replacing/adding update() with updateSlot() where appropriate. It seems that DialogBase is changing its methods quite often which is one more good reason to establish class hierarchy among gnome frontend classes. Marko patch.gnome.29.10.00.gz
The preferences file
I've just saved the preferences from the dialog by mistake and it forgot about my bind setting, all the rest were copied. On the same note, the current language changing done in LyX is to toggle the chosen language from the bind to english. The problem is when I have several languages at once for example a spanish/hebrew/english document, It will probably require two bindings to write comfortably, maybe it will be possible to use a method like windows uses where there is a list of supported languages and a key binding to rotate them, it also features a small reminder on screen to show the current language, pressing on it allows you to quickly change to another language from the smaller set that you want. The language list could be a global list but allowing to change it for a document can help, especially if someone has a long list of languages that he occasionally writes in, the document list can be used to ease selection. -- Baruch Even http://techst02.technion.ac.il/~sbaruch/ (My Site) http://www.redrival.com/jindor/(My brothers ADD site) " Learn to laugh ... it's the path to true love!

It won't scale, this is a solution when you use 2 even 3 languages, what
if you need to use more?
This is not something all too important, but it should be considered. I
have no reason to believe that there are many that need this feature but
it might be better than the current solution for those who need it.

Locale bug in lyx
Hi, I think I found a bug in lyx. If you set the LC_NUMERIC environment variable to de_DE (or anything with a different decimal_point like ',') lyx will complain when opening for example 'dinbrief.lyx' (like in new from template): Warning: need lyxformat 2,15 but found 2,00 and garbage is displayed. The file contains (imho correctly) \lyxformat 2.15 The problem is (I didn't look at the source code) that you use a libc routine which depends on the locale settings. But the locale setting where different when the configuration was created. Suggested solutions could be: Always set locale to C or POSIX before reading the configuration. Or don't use libc routines for converting numbers. I hope you don`t think I am impolite to suggest a solution without looking at the source :-) Feel free to contact me.

language settings vs. spell checker
Hi,
I ran into trouble when having several documents
loaded each in a different language (which is set
per document in Layout->Document->Language).
The spellingchecker will use that language setting
to find the correct database. However, names
are not the same. For example with dutch:
In LyX this is "dutch"
In ispell this is "nederlands" ("dutch" in dutch).
I can manually enter "nederlands" in the language
settings in Preferences, but then my other english
document is wrongly spellchecked :).
I have several remarks & questions to this problem:
1) Assuming that each document is entirely in one
single language, but simultaneously loaded documents
can each be in a different language: it then would
not be convenient to set the ispell language in
the general Preferences dialog.
An additional ispell-language setting should be
added to the Layout->Document->Language dialog.
Does that make sense?
2) Another solution for 1) could be changing the
language file, that comes with LyX. The first
and second column in this file are ALWAYS the
same. Why is that? We could use the second column
for an equivalent language name, for example:
dutch nederlands
french francais
spanishespanol
german deutsch
swedishsvenska
If ispell reports to LyX that it can't find the "dutch"
database, then LyX should tell ispell to try again for
the "nederlands" database.
3) If I remember well, one can change the language
settings (temporarily) anywhere inside a LaTeX
document. You can mix lanaguages and tell LaTeX
to do the appropriate hyphenation correctly per
language-section.
If that could be done in LyX too, LyX could use

Would that be suitable for a future extension?
Just some thoughts.

Also for instance "lyx myfile.lyx --export latex" does not produce myfile.tex. As far as I can see lyx goes through all the steps of generating the requested output format, but the result gets deleted at the end. Thanks very much for your great program -- Gerard -- Gerard Vermeulen | TEL: 33 (0)4 76 88 12 53 CRTBT | or 33 (0)4 76 88 12 61 BP 166 -- 38042 Grenoble Cedex 9 -- France | Fax: 33 (0)4 76 87 50 60 http://www-crtbt.polycnrs-gre.fr/he3pol

I think the output results are left in the tmp directory. Have a look at something: /tmp/lyx_tmp7683aaa/lyx_bufrtmp7683aaa (are you working on a Linux PC?) You can copy the files from there. Not a pretty solution, but works until a bug-fix will be provided. R.
gnome: cleanup and update() to updateSlot()
Hi! the attached patch replaces NULL with 0 in the gnome frontend code and makes the frontend to compile again by replacing/adding update() with updateSlot() where appropriate. It seems that DialogBase is changing its methods quite often which is one more good reason to establish class hierarchy among gnome frontend classes. Marko patch.gnome.29.10.00.gz
The preferences file
I've just saved the preferences from the dialog by mistake and it forgot about my bind setting, all the rest were copied. On the same note, the current language changing done in LyX is to toggle the chosen language from the bind to english. The problem is when I have several languages at once for example a spanish/hebrew/english document, It will probably require two bindings to write comfortably, maybe it will be possible to use a method like windows uses where there is a list of supported languages and a key binding to rotate them, it also features a small reminder on screen to show the current language, pressing on it allows you to quickly change to another language from the smaller set that you want. The language list could be a global list but allowing to change it for a document can help, especially if someone has a long list of languages that he occasionally writes in, the document list can be used to ease selection. -- Baruch Even http://techst02.technion.ac.il/~sbaruch/ (My Site) http://www.redrival.com/jindor/(My brothers AD site) " Learn to laugh ... it's the path to true love!

lyx-1.1.5fix2 on irix 6.5
Hello Lyx experts, Like in 1.1.5fix1, version 1.1.5fix2 still has problems compiling on irix 6.5. Actually the linking seems to be the problem now. Am I doing something wrong? thanks...

So you want to have a support for
'bind F12 "language spanish,hebrew,english"' ?
Isn't it better to use two/three keys ? ('bind F12 "language spanish"' and
'bind F11 "language hebrew"' and perhaps 'bind F10 "language english"')

The second field is the babel name of the language, and it is not always equal to the first field (the LyX name). > I'd rather remove one of the fields instead of adding more. > (but then we would need a "babel" module. Why not add new fields to the languages file (ispell name, keymap name) ? The only drawback is decreasing the readability of this file. A solution for that is to use the following idea: for most languages (e.g. english) the babel/ispell name is equal to the LyX name, so in this case, we do not need to repeat it: #LyX name Screen nameRTL encoding code babelispell canadien "French Canadian" false iso8859-1 fr_CA frenchb french english"English" false iso8859-1 en * (the * marks the end of the enlish fields).

It won't scale, this is a solution when you use 2 even 3 languages, what
if you need to use more?
This is not something all too important, but it should be considered. I
have no reason to believe that there are many that need this feature but
it might be better than the current solution for those who need it.

Locale bug in lyx
Hi, I think I found a bug in lyx. If you set the LC_NUMERIC environment variable to de_DE (or anything with a different decimal_point like ',') lyx will complain when opening for example 'dinbrief.lyx' (like in new from template): Warning: need lyxformat 2,15 but found 2,00 and garbage is displayed. The file contains (imho correctly) \lyxformat 2.15 The problem is (I didn't look at the source code) that you use a libc routine which depends on the locale settings. But the locale setting where different when the configuration was created. Suggested solutions could be: Always set locale to C or POSIX before reading the configuration. Or don't use libc routines for converting numbers. I hope you don`t think I am impolite to suggest a solution without looking at the source :-) Feel free to contact me. As I am not on the list please CC. Regards, Claudius -- Claudius Link [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Literate Programming problems
Hi all, I just checked the latest CVS and I have the following problems with Literate Programming (probably related to import and export). 1) The Import menu only shows Import->Latex (Import->Noweb is greyed out). 2) The build-program option is not appearing in my File menu. This happens without a custom lyxrc or default.ui. Could somebody (Dekel?) please look at this? ---Kayvan

I looked at that more closely this weekend, truely, the gtkmm-1.1.2 package was not installed. so I installed it in the helix version of gnome on my suse linux box. now configure is good, but I got compilation errors, in fact I have no /opt/gnome/include/gnome-- directory where the lyx gnome frontend try to search include files. I' ve got gtk-- gdk--but no gnome-- directory. Could someone who compiled successfully the gnome frontend give the requirements for that. thanks Yann > gnome dependencies are frustrating, and there is no road map.
