I haven't changed colours for the links yet. We also have to set the menu with a solid background colour. If you set it to transparent it looks okay in Opera but both Netscape and Mozilla render with a solid colour of their own choosing (black for NS and light grey for Moz). So you begin to see how these css files could multiply rapidly if we tried to make all browsers look at their best. I didn't intend to do this work -- this email started out an hour ago as do it yourself, I'll help a bit (the short version would have said that). I've made traditional.css a merger of both lyx.css and pinmenu.css and simply switch between the two combos of stylesheets. The traditional flag isn't handled by a cookie yet. There is a problem with cookie handling and I don't know why. I don't know enough php to know what happens about reading cookies. It looks to me like we don't normally access them but maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's a weird caching thing or some problem with the webserver giving us old cookies. I just want to get www.devel.lyx.org sorted now. BTW, as I said before I can also place a banner (not a green embossed one but a real one) below the sidemenu (of the new look).

In the past, I solved this radically by making the data structures public
but, of course, Lars et al. were not willing to commit such a change. Do
you have a better proposal?
Well it looks like a strange concoction they have there but it is my opion
that :
struct matchIT {
/// used by lower_bound and upper_bound
inline
int operator()(LyXParagraph::InsetTable const a,
LyXParagraph::InsetTable const b) const {
return a.pos b.pos;
}
};
and its siblings should be _outside_ LyXParagraph. But I don't think this
help much as that will probably give us a heap of other problems.
The good thing should be that they could be shifted to the head of
paragraph.C and not even need to be in the header.
How's your surgical skills?
Can you try cutting and pasting the definitions of struct matchIT into the
top of paragraph.C (below all the headers but just before the first
function -- actually just about anywhare should work.
And comment out the entry in the header. Use // at the start of the
lines.
At worst we may just need to change:
///
bool linuxDocConvertChar(char c, string sgml_string);
- private:
+ protected:
///
struct InsetTable {
and
typedef std::vectorInsetTable InsetList;
+ private:
///
InsetList insetlist;
///
LyXParagraph * TeXDeeper(Buffer const *, BufferParams const ,
std::ostream , TexRow texrow);
///
I really can't see why they want to insist on hiding the definition of the
structs in private areas! They only need to hide the variables that use
those definitions! In fact I'm pretty sure there are occasions in the
GUII work where we used to hide some data types but dec's cc complained
about them being private so we shifted them. Oh well we'll see what
happens shall we...

Hi all, I use LyX almost daily for more than a year now and still like it:) I am currently writing a large document and I usually do a lot of (re)editing of small text fragments. I think that this is often the case if you are writing scientific stuff. LyX is here a wonderful tool as it gives a reasonably high quality feedback. From my (special) user experiment I have two general feature wishes. First, I'd like to have better large document support. With TeX parts the document can be typeset using the \includeonly (?) command with correct cross references. If you are working on some small part this is an interesting feature as one can quickly typeset this part (as it is small). On the other this not yet finished part can be excluded out of a preliminary version of the document. I do not know how difficult it is to make this feature accessible via a GUI in LyX, perhaps just a checkbox at the includes and an export to latex that always runs on the master document with a properly set \includeonly (based on the checkboxes and the part of the document that is currently open) is sufficient. [Best would be to hide away the include mechanism from the user and let LyX do it for him.] The second wish is about the rendering. Sometimes I wish more, but sometimes even /less/¹) exact rendering. I.e. sometimes I don't like the long cross references/label²) idx boxes hanging around everywhere, but just the numbers resp. nothing, sometimes I need the boxes. I.e. I wish to have a command like (un)hide (specific) boxes. Uli ¹) It'll be nice to have a shortcut to access (part of) the source. (OK its dangerous (undo?), but for equations - if you just know some latex - so much faster.) Probably one may just expand some commands back to ERT. ²) Is it possible to automate section/figure/table labelling?

Yes, that's on my list, too. :-) Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Umweltfreundlich, da aus recycleten Buchstaben.

This is pretty weird behaviour, it should just be 7/8ths or something. The code is a real pig here, I'm glad /you've/ fixed it ;) One other minor problem, sometimes, if you use the scrollbar and drag it right to the bottom, it doesn't always show the very bottom of the document (there is often another line below the last visible one). But I see another problem in that the scrollbar size is not updated if the document shrink again. ... but this is obviously more important bug thanks john -- Q: Name a non-living object with legs A: A plant. - Family Fortunes

On Thu, 28 Jun 2001, Allan Rae wrote: > If I leave the body definition in lyx.css then only that takes effect. > Maybe we need two css files and switch between the two instead? I switched to using two css files. If you add ?traditional=1 to your command line when viewing: http://www.devel.lyx.org/~rae/www-user/ then you'll get close to the old scheme. I haven't changed colours for the links yet. We also have to set the menu with a solid background colour. If you set it to transparent it looks okay in Opera but both Netscape and Mozilla render with a solid colour of their own choosing (black for NS and light grey for Moz). So you begin to see how these css files could multiply rapidly if we tried to make all browsers look at their best. I didn't intend to do this work -- this email started out an hour ago as "do it yourself, I'll help a bit" (the short version would have said that). I've made traditional.css a merger of both lyx.css and pinmenu.css and simply switch between the two combos of stylesheets. The traditional flag isn't handled by a cookie yet. There is a problem with cookie handling and I don't know why. I don't know enough php to know what happens about reading cookies. It looks to me like we don't normally access them but maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's a weird caching thing or some problem with the webserver giving us old cookies. I just want to get www.devel.lyx.org sorted now. BTW, as I said before I can also place a banner (not a green embossed one but a real one) below the sidemenu (of the new look). This is easy and the code already exists in cvs -- commented out -- although the old banner is currently used for test purposes. BTW, I tested download times with bobby but it doesn't include the background image in the calculations. It would add 2 seconds by my estimation (based on interpolating the times for other components) but adds at least an extra 2 seconds for rendering time on my system -- PIII-450. Allan. (ARRae)

At worst we may just need to change:
///
bool linuxDocConvertChar(char c, string & sgml_string);
- private:
+ protected:
///
struct InsetTable {
and
typedef std::vector InsetList;
+ private:
///
InsetList insetlist;
///
LyXParagraph * TeXDeeper(Buffer const *, BufferParams const &,
std::ostream &, TexRow & texrow);
///
I really can't see why they want to insist on hiding the definition of the
structs in private areas! They only need to hide the variables that use
those definitions! In fact I'm pretty sure there are occasions in the
GUII work where we used to hide some data types but dec's cc complained
about them being private so we shifted them. Oh well we'll see what
happens shall we...

I'm thinking maybe we could offer a couple of levels of graphics. Text Only -- could block CSS also with this option and have minimal difference in the text.

Control this with a cookie and we can all be happy. The default should be Low Graphics Usage though IMO so that the people who always block cookies, or have trouble reading the web site with the graphical background can still survive with nice readable text. That is, a user friendly site. After all, www.lyx.org is the user site and almost every user who has responded with the exception of Kathyrn (I think there was only one, hmmm no, must have been two if Lars made three) preferred the no background image design.

Hi all, I use LyX almost daily for more than a year now and still like it:) I am currently writing a large document and I usually do a lot of (re)editing of small text fragments. I think that this is often the case if you are writing scientific stuff. LyX is here a wonderful tool as it gives a reasonably high quality feedback. >From my (special) user experiment I have two general feature wishes. First, I'd like to have better large document support. With TeX parts the document can be typeset using the \includeonly (?) command with correct cross references. If you are working on some small part this is an interesting feature as one can quickly typeset this part (as it is small). On the other this not yet finished part can be excluded out of a preliminary version of the document. I do not know how difficult it is to make this feature accessible via a GUI in LyX, perhaps just a checkbox at the includes and an export to latex that always runs on the master document with a properly set \includeonly (based on the checkboxes and the part of the document that is currently open) is sufficient. [Best would be to hide away the include mechanism from the user and let LyX do it for him.] The second wish is about the rendering. Sometimes I wish more, but sometimes even /less/¹) exact rendering. I.e. sometimes I don't like the long cross references/label²) idx boxes hanging around everywhere, but just the numbers resp. nothing, sometimes I need the boxes. I.e. I wish to have a command like "(un)hide (specific) boxes". Uli ¹) It'll be nice to have a shortcut to access (part of) the source. (OK its dangerous (undo?), but for equations - if you just know some latex - so much faster.) Probably one may just expand some commands back to ERT. ²) Is it possible to automate section/figure/table labelling?

Otoh that is part of LyX's job. LyX's job is not to be a Desktop.

Where? I never saw their arguments for that.
As I see it they never argued that they need _this_ feature... but
that they sometimes need to insert strange characters with weird
accents.

what char is \r{t}? Does it have a name in any encoding?
but sure this can be solved with a dialog too.
but this is easy... just make the dialog dispatch one of the
accent-xxx lyxfuncs.

| Great.
Except that dead-key handling, and the keymap handling is intermixed
so by fixing one the other might (most likely) break...

I fully admit I had no real justification for the other patch ... does this go back to old behaviour ? As soon as we extend past one workarea height, the scrollbar halves. This is pretty weird behaviour, it should just be 7/8ths or something. The code is a real pig here, I'm glad /you've/ fixed it ;) One other minor problem, sometimes, if you use the scrollbar and drag it right to the bottom, it doesn't always show the very bottom of the document (there is often another line below the last visible one). > But I see another problem in that the scrollbar size is not updated if > the document shrink again. ... but this is obviously more important bug thanks john -- "Q: Name a non-living object with legs A: A plant." - Family Fortunes

Re: Long list of bugs
One other question I would like ask is this:
What is the general form of a call to usepackage?
\usepackage[]{} or just \usepackage{}

the general form is \usepackage[options]{package}
where \usepackage{package}
is a special case with no options. (only default options)
