Re: Klyx 0.9.9 vs. Lyx 1.0.0preX
"Syrus" == Syrus Nemat-Nasser [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hello, Syrus Right now, I've got 1.0.0pre6 and klyx installed on a Debian Syrus (slink: pre2.1) system. I compiled Lyx myself, and the version Syrus of Klyx claims to be 0.9.9. Anyway, my most important document Syrus is my thesis. I've managed to painstakingly implement the Syrus required formatting of my university by embedding red latex Syrus commands in the early sections. The anomaly is that Lyx Syrus 1.0.0pre compiles my file without error whereas Klyx chokes Syrus near a \flushleft block and \vspace command. There may be differences between the two programs as far as the LaTeX output. If you cn pinpoint what the difference is, we might be able to determine which program is faulty and fix it. Syrus Anyway, I'm Syrus wondering if any of you have noticed the differences in using Syrus Lyx vs. Klyx at this time for your critical documents. (Klyx Syrus may find further errors as well, but I'm unable to get past the Syrus first ones. Also, Klyx has done an excellent job on small Syrus papers and documents such as a journal article that I am Syrus writing. I find the QT interface to be preferable to xforms, Syrus although xforms on a fast machine is nice.) The situation is that KLyX and LyX are slightly different, besides the obvious GUI: KLyX is based on LyX 0.12.0, and I am not sure all changes LyX since then have been fold in (I know several have been); moreover KLyX supports a few thing that LyX does not know about (paragraph-level line sapcing comes to my mind).

BTW, the system is a SGI running Harry IRIX 5.3. As far as I know, the local installation is not the problem. Did you try to use the --with-extra-inc and --with-extra-lib to tell configure where xpm lies? I had the same problem on IRIX 6.2 for lyx-1.0pre6 (I think). The configure script couldn't find libXpm.a although it was there and I specified --with-extra-inc/lib (It did find xpm.h though). Anyway, the compile went well, so the linker could access libXpm.a after all. So the script might be bit wrong. I know SGI's bsdinst has a bug. It changes the owner of installed files (sometimes?) to "root". Now if you bsdinst[all] libXpm.a in a local directory with owner read acces only, you will have a problem if you are not root. I don't thinks this is the problem, but Harry could check this anyway. The produced binary didn't work for me because rld failed to map libforms.so.0.88. Probably my fault somehow. I have no time to sort this out now, I decided to wait for the release of LyX 1.0.

select text scrolling too fast
If I select text with the mouse I have an annoying problem: if the text to be selected stretches beyond the normal one page view of the document, the document scrolls, BUT it scrolls so fast I have no control over what gets selected! Basically I select too little or too much (e.g. the whole document!). This problem has a large impact on my work. How can I change this behaviour? (If I can't, I hope it gets altered in future versions) Thanks very much for any help.

Basically I select too little or too much (e.g. the whole document!). This problem has a large impact on my work. I don't know why I've never complained about this before, except that I only use LyX on a laptop and I thought that perhaps the problem was the glide-pad, which is a bad mouse substitute at the best of times. But it's true: text selection does scroll far too fast. Much as I like games of quick reactions, there are times when I'd rather just be able to select the two previous paragraphs... -- http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/rrt1001/ | maxim, n. wisdom for fools -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.
Abstract in Koma-Script Report
Hi,
How can I push LyX (LaTeX) to write the header "Abstract" above the abstract
in documentclass report (koma-script)?
In pure LaTeX I would do \documentclass[abstracton]{scrreprt} and everybody
would be happy. But how about LyX?
Thanks
Ralf
BTW: The doc for Koma-Script in LyX: "Extended Features" is not up-to-date.

Add abstracton in the Options intput field of Layout-Document. It
will not change anything on screen, though.

The current doc is for an earlier textclass you wrote. The current one is
much more complete. Do you think you could update that? It is much
easier for someone who actually uses koma-script classes.

Re: linebraking
"Achim" == Achim Maldener [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Achim I have got the problem that LyX (or rather LaTeX?) writes Achim beyond the margin of a page, if the last "word" in a line is a Achim citation. The same thing happens if I export the LaTeX file Achim and view it with xdvi. Any hints? This happens when LaTeX cannot make a word fit on a line, but feels that breaking the line would not produce a nice output. So the word stands out to show you that you should do something about it... The quick and dirty fix to this problem is to add \sloppy to your LaTeX preamble.

Escape cancels the selection
I find this annoying (unless I have just made the selection) because if I start to type a command to apply to a selection and then realise it is wrong and press escape, the selection is cancelled and I must make it again. Surely just the command should be cancelled? Indeed, viewing Escape as a "cancel" key I don't really understand why it should undo the current selection at all. -- http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/rrt1001/ | maxim, n. wisdom for fools -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.
