You need to give some informations to LyX on what g-brief does, what
syntax it uses, how it looks... You can certainly not input the LaTeX
document class, since LyX is certainly not able to make sense off it.
So, is the g-brief class similar to LaTeX letter class or to the
dinbrief class? In this case, you will be able to reuse the
definitions from there. Otherwise, you are on your own...

Do you really use an enumeration for that? What you present looks
rather like sections... Keeping the counter is possible, but it
requires to know a bit more about what you are doing.
David It'd also be really cool if I could change the enumeration
David thing so that instead of saying:
David 15. Awards
David for the 15th thing in the enumeration, it'd do this:
David Article 15. Awards
If you use enumerations, you can probably do:
\renewcommand{\theenumi}{Article \arabic{enumi}.}
in the preamble. You will not see the label on screen, though.

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).

Jeff I do suggest, that for the majority of the Jeff people who try lyx, that the screen fonts shouldn't look blocky Jeff when lyx is first run. I'm guessing this is something to be Jeff addressed by the linux distributions or in RPMs or something. I Jeff want to emphasize that the first impression is actually a big Jeff deal, and chunkified fonts make a significant (non-positive) Jeff first impression. Agreed. I wanted to make this the default, but people who happen to have a good set of scalable fonts, did not want that (understandably). Jeff Next, lyx menus suffer a bit from the "radically different Jeff choices are right next to each other yet look quite similar" Jeff syndrome. For example, in the File menu, less popular choices Jeff like "revert to saved..." are identically rendered as the more Jeff popular choices. Picking out the common choices requires just a Jeff bit too much brain power. I read that nuclear power plant Jeff operators face similar problems problems when are deciding which Jeff lever to push out of a zillion near identical choices. Jeff I hate to use Microsoft as an example, but their most recent Jeff version of Office addresses this problem by putting a just few Jeff small icons inside the pull down menus, next to the most popular Jeff choices. This makes popular choices easier to pick out from the Jeff crowd. I strongly suspect that this depends on the GUI toolkit Jeff (XForms?), but I thought it was worth mentoning. That'sa good comment. We'll have to re-think the menu hierarchy at some point. Jeff As far as minor quirks, I found it a bit odd that the dialog Jeff boxes had different key binding than the main editing Jeff window. Again I assume this is xforms at work, but it was a bit Jeff wierd. My backspace key was bound differently, and emacs Jeff bindings were only enabled in the dialog boxes. I guess I'm Jeff happy everything appears configurable, but I'd have preferred a Jeff more consistant default. Agreed, but there is not much we can do here... Jeff Ok, that's it, have a great 1.0.0 release. Sorry for throwing Jeff feedback at the list days before it goes out the door. I'm Jeff totally delighted; lyx makes latex accessable to me for casual Jeff use. I look forward to using it for years to come. You're welcome.

To insert a lyx-cite with bibview, you have to open a list-window of bibview. If you select a entry of the list the card-window will be opened, where you can find a button called insert-lyx-ref or so. In order to use this button you must have running lyx with the lyx-server enabled. The pipe for the lyxserver must be located in the home-directory (taken from the HOME enviromentvariable) and should be called .lyxpipe (as suggested in the lyxrc example file). If you press then the button a reference at the location of the cursor in the lyx-window will be inserted. My patch is not very comfortable, but because I have no knowledge about x-window programming (athena lib etc.), it was the only solution for me. Much better it would have been if you could use the second or third mouse-button in the list-window to insert the cite in lyx. But I don't know how to do this. If somebody can give me a hint how to do this, it would be very nice. so, have fun Bernhard K. --0-1540224925-902486849=:12202 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; name="bibviewlyx.patch" Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Content-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Description: patch file for bibview 2.2 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="bibviewlyx.patch" ZGlmZiAtYyAtciAuL2JpYnZpZXctMi4yL2JpYnZpZXcuaCAuL2JpYnZpZXct Mi4yYmsvYmlidmlldy5oDQoqKiogLi9iaWJ2aWV3LTIuMi9iaWJ2aWV3LmgJ V2VkIEFwciAyNiAxODoyODo1NyAxOTk1DQotLS0gLi9iaWJ2aWV3LTIuMmJr L2JpYnZpZXcuaAlGcmkgQXVnICA3IDExOjEyOjAxIDE5OTgNCioqKioqKioq KioqKioqKg0KKioqIDI2MiwyNjcgKioqKg0KLS0tIDI2MiwyNjggLS0tLQ0K ICAJICBkdXBsaWNhdGUsCS8qIGR1cGxpY2F0ZSBjb21tYW5kIGJ1dHRvbiAq Lw0KICAJICBjb3B5LAkJLyogY29weSBjb21tYW5kIGJ1dHRvbiAqLw0KICAJ ICBjcm9zc3JlZiwJLyogY29weSBjb21tYW5kIGJ1dHRvbiAqLw0KKyAgICAg ICAgICAgbHl4aW5zLCAgICAgICAvKiBpbnNlcnQtbHl4IGNvbW1hbmQgYnV0 dG9uICovDQogIAkgIG5leHQsICAJLyogbmV4dCBjb21tYW5kIGJ1dHRvbiAq Lw0KICAJICBjbG9zZSwJLyogY2xvc2UgY29tbWFuZCBidXR0b24gKi8NCiAg CSAgY2FyZERlc2ssCS8qIGRlc2t0b3AgZm9yIGdlbmVyYWwgYXR0cmlicyBm b3IgYWxsIGNhcmRzICovDQoqKioqKioqKioqKioqKioNCioqKiA1MjAsNTI1 ICoqKioNCi0tLSA1MjEsNTI3IC0tLS0NCiAgdm9pZCBjY2ROZXh0Q2FyZENt ZCAoV2lkZ2V0IHcsIFh0UG9pbnRlciBjbGllbnREYXRhLCBYdFBvaW50ZXIg Y2FsbERhdGEpOw0KICB2b2lkIGNjZE5leHRDaGFuZ2VDbWQgKFdpZGdldCB3 LCBYdFBvaW50ZXIgY2xpZW50RGF0YSwgWHRQb2ludGVyIGNhbGxEYXRhKTsN CiAgdm9pZCBjY2REdXBsaWNhdGVDYXJkQ21kIChXaWRnZXQgdywgWHRQb2lu dGVyIGNsaWVudERhdGEsIFh0UG9pbnRlciBjYWxsRGF0YSk7DQorIHZvaWQg Y2NkSW5zZXJ0THl4Q2l0ZUNtZCAoV2lkZ2V0IHcsIFh0UG9pbnRlciBjbGll bnREYXRhLCBYdFBvaW50ZXIgY2FsbERhdGEpOw0KICBFcnJjb2RlIGNjZENv cHlDYXJkMSAoQmliUHRyIGJwKTsNCiAgRXJyY29kZSBjY2RDb3B5Q2FyZCAo QmliUHRyIGJwLCBDYXJkUHRyIGNwKTsNCiAgdm9pZCBjY2RTZXRDaGFuZ2VG bGFnIChXaWRnZXQgdywgWHRQb2ludGVyIGNsaWVudERhdGEsIFh0UG9pbnRl ciBjYWxsRGF0YSk7DQpkaWZmIC1jIC1yIC4vYmlidmlldy0yLjIvY3RsX2Nh cmQuYyAuL2JpYnZpZXctMi4yYmsvY3RsX2NhcmQuYw0KKioqIC4vYmlidmll dy0yLjIvY3RsX2NhcmQuYwlNb24gTWF5ICA4IDE4OjI1OjUzIDE5OTUNCi0t LSAuL2JpYnZpZXctMi4yYmsvY3RsX2NhcmQuYwlGcmkgQXVnICA3IDExOjEy OjAyIDE5OTgNCioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKg0KKioqIDIyLDI3ICoqKioNCi0t LSAyMiwzMiAtLS0tDQogIC8qKioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKioq KioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKiovDQog IA0KICAjaW5jbHVkZSA8c3RkaW8uaD4NCisgI2luY2x1ZGUgPHN0ZGxpYi5o Pg0KKyAjaW5jbHVkZSA8c3lzL3R5cGVzLmg+DQorICNpbmNsdWRlIDxzeXMv c3RhdC5oPg0KKyAjaW5jbHVkZSA8ZmNudGwuaD4NCisgI2luY2x1ZGUgPHVu aXN0ZC5oPg0KICAjaW5jbHVkZSA8WDExL0ludHJpbnNpYy5oPg0KICAjaW5j bHVkZSA8WDExL1N0cmluZ0RlZnMuaD4NCiAgI2luY2x1ZGUgPFgxMS9YYXcv UGFuZWQuaD4NCioqKioqKioqKioqKioqKg0KKioqIDEwNjIsMTA2NyAqKioq

That's it. Ralph And document classes, which look Ralph kind of hard-wired. How difficult is it to create these and Ralph what do I read to find out how to do it? You will need two things: - a LaTeX document class (.cls file) which produces the kind of output you expect. It will typically be based on article.cls. I guess some work has already been done in this respect. - a LyX textclass (.layout file) which describes for LyX what the document class does. You will find a bunch of these in LyX distribution, and their format is somewhat described in Customization.lyx (with errors, unfortunately). Ralph And how do lyx-0.12 and lyx-1.0 differ in this context? They are basically the same, but LyX 1.0 has a bunch of small improvements that make life easier. Ralph I'm already reading the version 0.12 documentation but having a Ralph bit of hard time finding what I want. I just need a few Ralph pointers so I can get high-level answers to these vital Ralph questions without waiting to become proficent in basic LyX Ralph usage first.

Re: importing xfig ps/latex combined - fast solution needed
"wollmann" == wollmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
wollmann Hi everybody! I'm trying to import a figure created within
wollmann xfig following the instructions in the userguide. I need
wollmann formulas in the figure so i decided to export
wollmann postscript/latex combined. Then I created the .pstex and the
wollmann .pstex_t files. When importing .pstex_t with insert-file
wollmann dialog and \input, I get the error message:
wollmann !Undefined control sequence. recently read \epsfig
wollmann l.2 \epsfig {file=trafo1.pstex}% The control sequence at the
wollmann end of the top line was never defined
wollmann What am I doing wrong? If anybody can give me a fast
wollmann solution I will be very thankful because I have to finish my
wollmann work in a few days.
You are not really doing something wring, it is your xfig version
which uses an older LaTeX method to input graphics files. You might
try to add '\usepackage{epsfig}' to your LaTeX preamble.
Another solution would be to upgrade to xfig 3.2, but that's more
work.

Re: Some layout problems
"Markus" == Markus Baeurle [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Markus The second
Markus one has to do with page layout. I chose the fancy layout in
Markus Layout - Document. As you probably know, it puts the chapter
Markus heading on the left and the section heading on the right of
Markus the top of each page. If these headings are long, they run
Markus into each other and thus become unreadable. This has
Markus disappointed me quite a bit and led to some jokes from
Markus colleagues in the department ("Are you sure you're using the
Markus right tool?"). How can I correct this? I think the best way
Markus would be if the section heading on the right was simply
Markus truncated to fit.
LaTeX default headers/footers are ugly. If you have the package
fancyhdr installed, you could try the 'fancy' header option in
Layout-Document and add something like the following to your
preamble (untested):
\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[LE]{\slshape \nouppercase{\leftmark}}
\fancyhead[RO]{\slshape \nouppercase{\rightmark}}
\addtolength{\headheight}{3pt}
Markus I have two more glitches I'd like to mention. The first one
Markus is that two spaces are always removed. I frequently want to
Markus replace a whole word, so I delete it (by hitting backspace
Markus several times) to type in the new one. But as soon as the last
Markus letter is deleted, two spaces meet, one is removed and the
Markus cursor is put at the end of the left word. I'd prefer if the
Markus two spaces remained there until the cursor is moved away so I
Markus could insert my new word without further steps.
Yes, this is a known problem.
Markus Second,
Markus program code typeset in LyX-Code isn't split very
Markus intelligently if it hits the end of page which also
Markus disappointed me quite a bit. In my case, about three lines
Markus were put on the first page, with half of the page empty. On
Markus the next page came a few more lines, an empty line (why wasn't
Markus the page break put here?) followed by a lot of lines which ran
Markus over the end of the page - it seems because no empty line was
Markus found where the page break could be put. Why won't the page
Markus break be put whereever it is necessary? No problem in program
Markus code IMHO. I helped myself by putting a protected space in
Markus Standard environment at the place where I want the page break
Markus to occur, which is a very ugly workaround.
If what you include is a real code snippet (i.e. that you have in a
file), then you can use Insert-Include_File (check verbatim) to
include directly the file, with presumably a better result.

This kind of trick is not possible in TeX and, besides, we *do* use \n\n as a paragraph break in a lot of places.

Yes, you have to :)

Joerg I did enter "\hyphenation{Linux}" as LaTeX preamble, but
Joerg nothing changed, I still get "Lin- ux". Is there something else

I am really surprided that this does not work. Note that you should
have only *one* \hyphenation{} command, containing a space-separated
list of words.
Joerg Also, what I would really like to do is turn off hyphenation
Joerg completely, not just for some words. Is this at all possible?
Try something like this:
\DeclareFontFamily{T1}{cmr}{\hyphenchar\font=-1}
(replace T1 with OT1 for cm fonts)
Another solution is to use \sloppy in the preamble to get rid of the
most hyphenation.

Re: Trouble with koma script letter class

Florian Could this be a LyX bug? This is a weakness in LyX letter support, which is due to the brokenness of LaTeX letter document class. The solution is to use the Send_To_Address layout to define the recipient of the letter. This field is *required*.

LyX 1.0.0pre7 990106 snapshot
Hello, Since our fearless leader Lars is not here to make new prereleases of LyX for everybody's consumption, I decided to make a snapshot of the current cvs repository available from my own WWW space. It can be found at http://www-rocq.inria.fr/~lasgoutt/lyx/lyx-1.0.0pre7-990107.tar.gz or http://www-rocq.inria.fr/~lasgoutt/lyx/lyx-1.0.0pre7-990107.tar.bz2 The .bz2 version is somewhat smaller, and you need bzip2 to unpack it. Here is what the CHANGES file has to say about recent events: since 1.0.0pre6 - first draft of german translation of Extended.lyx (Pit) - Fix a bug with spaces in math labels (Alejandro) - Set the timeout for ispell to 15 seconds instead of 2 (JMarc) - Make the update button of Insert-Cross_Reference remember what the current entry was (JMarc) - fix bug where bibliography insets were not deleted when switching to another layout (JMarc) - fix the change case functions which did not work (and corrupted memory) after footnotes (JMarc) - fix newly introduced bug which prevented Compose key from working (JMarc) - Added french menu bindings fr_menus.bind; not yet complete (Emmanuel) - Protected spaces are output as plain spaces in LaTeX code (Edmar) - Better support for Aspell (Kevin Atkinson) Please test the new changes, especially if you reported a bug which is supposed to be fixed now. Have fun. JMarc -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.
Re: LyX executable size
"Reuben" == Reuben Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Reuben ...more out of interest than anything else: why is my LyX Reuben 1.0.0pre6 binary 800Kb bigger than pre2? I've checked obvious Reuben things like it not being stripped (they both are), and they're Reuben both linked to the same set of shared libraries. The only Reuben difference I can think of is having upgraded from GCC to EGCS Reuben between the two compiles, but surely that hasn't changed Reuben things so much (both binaries were compiled with the default Reuben compiler options anyway, of -O2). Reuben I am currently awaiting with interest the compilation of the Reuben pre7 snapshot I've just downloaded... Do you have the same set of shared libraries for both?

"Carl" == Carl Ollivier-Gooch [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Carl On 07-Jan-99 Jean-Marc Lasgouttes wrote: Carl I have one complaint: - Protected spaces are output as plain spaces in LaTeX code (Edmar) Carl This is IMO incorrect. One use of protected spaces is to ensure Carl that "Figure 1" all ends up on the same line. I use this Carl regularly (and in fact have thought about updating the LaTeX Carl output routines to replace a space before a reference with a Carl protected space). For this reason (and no doubt others that I Carl can't think of off the top of my head), outputing plain spaces Carl instead of protected spaces is not acceptable, at least as an Carl unchangeable default. Note that LaTeX code is the so-called ``Evil Red Text'', that is explicit LaTeX code. In this mode you can always use ~ to get a protected space. The best way to fix this bug is probably to modify the CHANGES entry ;) JMarc
Re: How to change the float placement?

I know about the box in the Jitse Layout|Document menu, but I want to tune the placement of a Jitse particular float. It is not possible currently. However, you can try the following (dirty) trick: put as the first characters of your float (before the image) the float placement option marked as LaTeX (for ex. [ht]). Hope this helps.

You can try to add
