Re: wide tables

[Andreas Jahnen]

Hi!

This is not a nice behavoir. You can enter at that position that the line
break should be a conrol+enter secence. That produces normaly the linefeed
command ("\\" in Latex) but in tables it produces a linefeed on the
screen. It isn't affecting the printed document.

Try it.

---Reply to mail from Russ Ross about wide tables

 I'm creating tables of two columns where the first column is just a
 label, and the right column contains a paragraph or so of text.  I set
 the maximum width from the table layout dialog box, and it prints fine,
 but it is nearly impossible to edit.
 
 On the screen the body of text is displayed as a single horizontal line
 (ie, no word wrap) for each entry, and the displayed table is _very_
 wide.  There is no horizontal scroll bar, so the only way I seem to be
 able to work around it is to make the window as wide as I can, drag it
 most of the way off the screen, then widen it again, etc. until the
 part I want to edit is finally on the screen.
 
 Is there a way to get it to use word wrap when editing inside tables on
 the screen?  Either the fixed width that I specified for the table, or
 something convenient for the window size would be nice.  If not, I'd
 like to make a feature request :)
 
 Right now, I end up loading the .lyx file into vi or something like
 that to do editing of the table text, and that's really not a great way
 to do it.  Am I missing something simple here?  Is there another
 workaround?
 
 Thanks!

View dvi/Update dvi commands does not update files

[Salvador Olmos]

I have been using LyX for two years and I consider it as the best way to
write documents.

I have just updated the new version 1.0.2 without any problems, but
I noticed that when I make some changes in the text and I want to view
the dvi file I use the option Update dvi or View dvi, but I noticed that

the new changes have not been updated in the dvi file.
Is it a bug of the new version?
In the last versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 this option was OK.

Thanks to the LyX team for his job

Re: Small glitch in View dvi?

[Mario Parra]

Somehow the dependency files are not being set properly.
This is why I think this is so.

If I set use_tmpdir true then lyx creates a directory under /tmp where it stores
temporary
files. Over there, there is a file called nameofdocumet.tex.dep that holds the
names of the
latex files used to create the dvi. But that file points to the wrong place! It
always has the
path that points to the installation directory.

To demontrate this, turn use_tmpdir to false, then create a lyx file but make sure
you
put it in the installation directory. Now the dependencies point to the right
place and
update dvi works fine (this is probably why it works for some of you, just move
the file
outside the installation directory and it should stop working.

You should also mention the 'hyperref' package which lets you use all
hypertext features of pdf, hypertextualize table of contents and index by
default, and customize the behavior of your resulting document in Acrobat
reader (including default view and entries in the document info). 

Since using most of these features boils down to few lines in the preamble,
hyperref is nicely usable in LyX, too. (In my experience, pdflatex is the way
to go if you use hyperref.)

Re: Small glitch in View dvi?

[Mario Parra]

I look at the code for DepTable.C in both 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 and the 1.0.1
version never calls MakeAbsPath. Furthermore, in the 1.0.2 version,
every time MakeAbsPath is called, there is a comment that says:

 // not quite sure if this is the correct place for MakeAbsPath

Otherwise the files are identical. So I simply replaced version 1.0.2
with version 1.0.1 and things seem to work fine. The foo.tex.dep
file has the correct name and update dvi works ok.

Re: LyX-1.0.2 teTeX-0.9 on a RedHat Linux 6.0 System

[Kayvan Aghaiepour Sylvan]

You might want to set your TEXINPUTS to something like this:

export TEXINPUTS=.:/home/your_home_dir/src/tex/sty:/usr/share/texmf/tex//

The "//" tells the suite of TeX and dvips programs to search all
subdirectories for the style files.

This still feels like a configuration problem. I don't know what else
to suggest.

Does anyone know if and where there's a Debian package of LyX 1.0.2? I guess
that Paul Seelig, who previously built inofficial LyX-debs, is too busy
these days to do us the favor.

You should also mention the 'hyperref' package which lets you use all
hypertext features of pdf, hypertextualize table of contents and index by
default, and customize the behavior of your resulting document in Acrobat
reader (including default view and entries in the document info). 

Since using most of these features boils down to few lines in the preamble,
hyperref is nicely usable in LyX, too. (In my experience, pdflatex is the way
to go if you use hyperref.)

Re: Small glitch in View dvi?

[Mario Parra]

I look at the code for DepTable.C in both 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 and the 1.0.1
version never calls MakeAbsPath. Furthermore, in the 1.0.2 version,
every time MakeAbsPath is called, there is a comment that says:

 // not quite sure if this is the correct place for MakeAbsPath

Otherwise the files are identical. So I simply replaced version 1.0.2
with version 1.0.1 and things seem to work fine. The foo.tex.dep
file has the correct name and update dvi works ok.

Re: LyX-1.0.2 teTeX-0.9 on a RedHat Linux 6.0 System

[Kayvan Aghaiepour Sylvan]

You might want to set your TEXINPUTS to something like this:

export TEXINPUTS=.:/home/your_home_dir/src/tex/sty:/usr/share/texmf/tex//

The "//" tells the suite of TeX and dvips programs to search all
subdirectories for the style files.

This still feels like a configuration problem. I don't know what else
to suggest.

Re: wide tables

[Andreas Jahnen]

Hi!

This is not a nice behavoir. You can enter at that position that the line
break should be a conrol+enter secence. That produces normaly the linefeed
command ("\\" in Latex) but in tables it produces a linefeed on the
screen. It isn't affecting the printed document.

Try it.

Well, that's my point, I don't get anything in the entry field in the
dialog box menu, even when clicking the arrow. Although I'm quite sure
my config' is all right, since if I put an entry in the insert citation
dialog box, and run LaTeX, I'm getting my ref to appear in my
document...

Thanks for your answer anyway!

By the way, I also have this "bug" with the update/view on HP-UX. If I
modify a document I already previewed with dvi or ps, LaTeX is not
re-run after that.

View dvi/Update dvi commands does not update files

[Salvador Olmos]

I have been using LyX for two years and I consider it as the best way to
write documents.

I have just updated the new version 1.0.2 without any problems, but
I noticed that when I make some changes in the text and I want to view
the dvi file I use the option Update dvi or View dvi, but I noticed that

the new changes have not been updated in the dvi file.
Is it a bug of the new version?
In the last versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 this option was OK.

Thanks to the LyX team for his job

Re: Small glitch in View dvi?

[Mario Parra]

Somehow the dependency files are not being set properly.
This is why I think this is so.

If I set use_tmpdir true then lyx creates a directory under /tmp where it stores
temporary
files. Over there, there is a file called nameofdocumet.tex.dep that holds the
names of the
latex files used to create the dvi. But that file points to the wrong place! It
always has the
path that points to the installation directory.

To demontrate this, turn use_tmpdir to false, then create a lyx file but make sure
you
put it in the installation directory. Now the dependencies point to the right
place and
update dvi works fine (this is probably why it works for some of you, just move
the file
outside the installation directory and it should stop working.

/ca/dera/chretien/newfile.tex 0 0
  - the .tex file is up to date (19:04) after a change,
  - the other files remained unchanged.
  
If I past the temporary dir instead in newfile.tex.dep,

further updates work.

I had this setup before with LyX 1.0.0, and it worked, but RedHat 6.0
comes with tetex-0.9-17, I wonder what the difference is.

Here are the packages I have on my system:
tetex-dvilj-0.9-17
tetex-xdvi-0.9-17
tetex-afm-0.9-17
tetex-doc-0.9-17
tetex-0.9-17
tetex-dvips-0.9-17
tetex-latex-0.9-17

What's in tetex-xtexsh?  Are there any .sty files in there?

I modified Mate's spec file to install with a prefix of /usr as well, so
that is probably not it.

I tried this, but it doesn't show the pathnames of the .sty/.cls names
it is looking for.

I discovered this new thread only an hour ago, I almost went home. But
I've downloaded PStill (Linux version) and: it is amazing!

Sizes:
PS (the same test file):  53350938
PDF (ps2pdf):233174225
PDF (PStill):  3290055

And no, these numbers are no mistake! I printed 5 test pages with each
gsview and Acrobat Reader: quality of PStill output is better.

It sure is worth it's 20 bucks worth!

Thanks all for helping and Barry Kauler for his original posting.

One thing those of you seeing the glitch can do for me is to edit
DepTable.C and enable some commented lines:

in DepTable::update()
DepTable::read(LString const )
DepTable::write(FILE * f)

compile and run LyX with -dbg 129

Re: LyX-1.0.2 teTeX-0.9 on a RedHat Linux 6.0 System

One other idea:

Is your TEXINPUTS (or whatever is used when that is not set)
configured correctly for the system?

Can you actually use LaTeX outside of LyX?

That may be the problem, I don't know.

  I am on a sparc 10 running solaris 2.6, but I think this bug is not os
dependent.
Anyway, if \use_tmpdir is false, how come it is still using /tmp?
