3 Questions in double column article class

1999-03-05 Thread Frederic Leymarie

Hi


How to (for the  "article" doc. class, Two columns) :

(1) change (reduce) spacing introduced between
Title and Date, 

(2) make a table float use the 2 columns (large table
 which does not fit within 1 column only)

(3) using BibTeX biblio., how to make citation
appear as [1,2,3,...,n]
rather than [1],[2],...,[n] (i.e., now I can
only Insert->Citation_Ref each one in isolation it seems ...)

thx

It should be customizable based upon lyxrc settings.  If I have the emacs
keyboard layout set up in my lyxrc, I should get the emacs-like keybindings 
for cut'n'paste.

Re: Q:noweb extension - how to use it?

1999-03-05 Thread Barry Gaunt

Sorry my friends,
I have just discovered I do NOT have lyx 1.0.1 but 1.0.0...
I downloaded lyx-latest from a mirror assuming it was 1.0.1
and did the rest on 'auto-pilot' (cee-dee lyx-*; ./configure; make and
off we go whee...)

However, I have just got the lyx REAL 1.0.1 and attempted to
install on Solaris 2.5.1.

I am getting some strange errors from a file pl.mo about missing quotes.

I see that a similar post has been made to the developer's list about
the
Solaris 2.6 build, so I won't bother you any more now.

I don't mean how to use noweb - I just cannot find any

depth-decrement, buffer-previous

1999-03-05 Thread Kostas Oikonomou


Hello,

I have two questions (I'm using 1.0.1pre4):

1. Is buffer-previous (C-x b) supposed to work?  It doesn't for me, i.e. the
command has no effect.  I'm running LyX on a Sun, Solaris 2.6.1, CDE.

2. How is it possible to add an icon to the toolbar for depth-decrement?
Supposing I have created the icon, how do I tell LyX about it?  Is that
explained somewhere?

   Not the same as the above but related, At least for fvwm the standard 
   has been double click highlights (first button) a word, triple click 
   highlights a line and the second button pastes a selection,and 
   other variations on the buttons exist also.  This seems to be missing 
   from Lyx (although it exists from another application to lyx)
   There also it seems there are no standard keyboard editing features
   (Cut a line,word and copy elsewhere,delete a word,line, keyboard macros
   etc)

  A standard set of editing tools from the keyboard would be very helpful. 
  I don't care if its emacs or vi or old dos wordstar like commands.

  I sent my reply before I read this. It doesn't work if you single
  click at another location afterwards. Also it only works once, and
  doesn't work at all in math mode.

Have you check that Xforms is installed on your machine? If not, I
grabbed it from the HP-UX Software Porting Center
http://hpux.csc.liv.ac.uk:80/ and got LyX to compile smoothly, which is
very rare on HP-UX...

I'm very surprised, since I got these binaries to work just fine on
HP-UX 10.2, until I recently compiled version 1.0 myself. You have to
read carefully the installation instructions, in particular if you're
not installing LyX in /usr/local, as far as I remember.

I'm not sure whether it will work, but I have a HPUX 10.20 version
compiled with gcc. This version works fine with me, although I haven't
used it extensively. It might or might not work for you depending on
shared libraries and path-stuff. Is there a place where I can drop this?
It 2.5Meg (lyx binary only).

If you go to www.lyx.org/getit.html a little way down the page you find a list 
of required stuff. Download and install them and you get going in no time. 
Installation on my Solaris 2.6 box took about an hour or so.

You should also put \usepackage{amsfonts} in LaTeX preamble.

Lyx and hp-unix-10.2

1999-03-05 Thread Francois FIGAROL

Hello, 

I'd like to start latex with Lyx-1.0 but my system is hp-unix 10.2 and I could not
compile it. The error messages I am getting when I try to configure the
compilation (./configure) are as follow:

 The following problems have been detected by configure.
 Please check the messages below before running 'make'.
 (see the section 'Problems' in the INSTALL file)

** Can't find libXpm. Please check that the Xpm library
   is correctly installed on your system.

** Can't find libforms or libxforms. Please check that the xforms library
   is correctly installed on your system.

** Can't find forms.h. Please check that the forms library
   is correctly installed on your system.

It looks to me that some libraries are missing  or that the PATH is wrong !!?

Anyhow, I looked also for a binary version that I could use immediatly to try
out Lyx and I found out that there was one for hp-unix-9.something only. This
version is not running under hp-unix-10.2.

Computer experts are telling me here that it is probably lots of work to make an
upgrade. I'd like to have your advice about it and if possible, if any of you
had a binary version running under hp unix 10.2, I could at least show to the
computer experts how it looks like and convice them to do the job.



Thank you in advance for your answer.

At least I do not use Emacs or Xemacs due to its very clumsy,
unintuitive and ugly graphical interface. Of course you can do almost
everything with it if you just could remember how...

So another way is do it like in Nedit and some other Motif-programs like
Netscape. There you can press Shift and do the middle-click and a
cut-and-paste operation is done instead of the standard copy-and-paste.
Much more intuitive than any Drag'n'drop IMHO. 

Well, actually I support only one Drag-and-Drop protocol (Drag your
sorry ass out of here and Drop dead) so maybe my opinions may not be
very widely accepted. But still operation that does not differ much
from the standard X-windows operation would be nice in X-applications.
In many ways the Windows cut-and-paste is not most efficient way to use
a computer (although many people do not know any other way). But what
can you do when you don't even have enough buttons in the mouse in the
first place :-)

I often start doing that in LyX until I recognize I'm not in emacs...

Just to note an idea for that sort of stuff:
a really good feature of Emacs is the ability to mark a beginning of a block
by left-clicking, mark the end by right-clicking, and then if right-clicking
again it cuts the block.
It is even possible to paste it anywhere you want by middle-clicking (even
after the block disappeared if you just cut it!).
So you can just do the same thing as Drag'n'drop move in a matter of clicks
(which is, in my opinion, easier than a held-left-mouse selection.)

I don't know.  But it ist always possible to mark text with the left

what I miss very much from Lyx (which you have in Word and others) is to

For me, this saves a lot of cut/paste work.

Undefined control sequence with AMS

1999-03-05 Thread Andreas Zielke

Hi,

yesterday I tried to use the standard(?) symbol for the real numbers from
the AMS-Math-package - it should look like a big 'R' with to vertical lines
instead of one.
As far as the documentation is concerned this is done by typing \mathbb{R}
in math-mode.
Sadly this produces an undefined control sequence error with latex.

I'm using the SuSE 6.0, LyX 1.0 with standard teTeX.
