Re: Bug? Reading math mode formulas
Hello,
Tanks to Jean-Pierre for the solution he gave me. Note that since it
is not possible to insert directly 8bits characters in math mode, one
have to use \acute, \grave... commands if one wants to use accentuated
characters (to get é you have to type "\acute e"). See Jean-Pierre's
examples below.

You mean I don't need to insert a mbox and that inserting textrm
directly would be suffisant ?
--Nabil
Just do it:
M-m m \frac M-m m abc... gives
\begin_inset Formula \( \frac{\textrm{abc}}{\textrm{eff}} \)
\end_inset
(I've replaced g by f to show that the ligature works).
If you want an accented character, you may have it
\begin_inset Formula \( \frac{\textrm{abc}}{\acute{\textrm{e}}\textrm{ff}} \)
\end_inset
but as you can see, this is quite different of the result obtained with
\begin_inset Formula \( \frac{\textrm{abc}}{\testac } \)
\end_inset
once
\newcommand{\testac}{\mbox{éff}}
is defined in the preamble.
If you are a typographic addict, you will make a difference between a math accent
on letter e and a real é letter...

Add the following command in TeX mode, at the beginning of the

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
This if you are using report style... if you are using article you
should change chapter with section. And if you are writing a document in

I hope this may help.

revtex.sty not found???
Hello, I've downloaded LyX 1.0.4 to my Linux RedHat 6 PC. Also installed the tetex-lyx files. So far I was using "Class: Article" in Layout-Document... No problems with either 1.0.3 or 1.0.4 for viewing dvi or ps. With 1.0.4 I decided to replace Article by Article(REVTeX), which immediately results in an error when wanting to view dvi. The LaTeX log file says: [snip] Entering LaTeX 2.09 COMPATIBILITY MODE [snip] !LaTeX Error: File 'revtex.sty' not found [cut] 2 questions: (1) Why going into 2.09 compatibility mode? (2) How, what and where about the revtex.sty file? Thanks a lot for your help, Rob.

If the file is simple text in a word file you can use `strings' as a filter to produce an ascii file, which you can then edit by hand because strings is not perfect. Then import the result of that into LyX as an ascii file, and format it appropriately. I kid you not, it _does_ work. You could also look at:- http://www.fz-juelich.de/isr/1/texconv/pctotex.html for some other programs. You might also be able to import the file into either WordPerfect or StarOffice and just go from there using the word processor.

Re: Error when starting LyX 1.0.4
Hi Aleander, this is a problem of the german menu bindings file when you also use the emacs bindings. It is described in the de_menus.bind: emacs.bind uses M-d to delete a word (like in emacs), but de_menus.bind want's that keystroke for the "Datei" menu. The easiest solution is to edit emacs.bind (in LYX_DIR/bind) (or copy it to de_emacs.bind and edit that): Change \bind "M-d" "word-delete-forward" to \bind "M-S-D" "word-delete-forward" Peter Alexander Wollmann wrote: Hi!

Re: Executing LyX
Thanks, Following is the result of rerunning the configure script. I've looked at doc/LaTexConfig.lyx as suggested below and not found it particularly enlightening. However, by examining the results of running configure, I guess my problem is that LyX can find none of the document classes it is looking for with this configuration script. Is this right? If so, how do I retrieve them--should they have been part of my Latex distribution, or are they from another source? Any help is greatly appreciated.

article class question
I have just installed the latest lyx version, and have a query which may (or probably is not) related to this.

I assume LyX found amsarticle ok on the configure as it appears in my lyx menus, so can't really understand why i would be getting this mis-formatting, unless it is a newly emerged latex problem i guess. thanks for your thoughts Tony

Re: Bug? Reading math mode formulas
Hello,
Tanks to Jean-Pierre for the solution he gave me. Note that since it
is not possible to insert directly 8bits characters in math mode, one
have to use \acute, \grave... commands if one wants to use accentuated
characters (to get é you have to type "\acute e"). See Jean-Pierre's
examples below.

--Nabil
Just do it:
M-m m \frac M-m m abc... gives
\begin_inset Formula \( \frac{\textrm{abc}}{\textrm{eff}} \)
\end_inset
(I've replaced g by f to show that the ligature works).
If you want an accented character, you may have it
\begin_inset Formula \( \frac{\textrm{abc}}{\acute{\textrm{e}}\textrm{ff}} \)
\end_inset
but as you can see, this is quite different of the result obtained with
\begin_inset Formula \( \frac{\textrm{abc}}{\testac } \)
\end_inset
once
\newcommand{\testac}{\mbox{éff}}
is defined in the preamble.
If you are a typographic addict, you will make a difference between a math accent
on letter e and a real é letter...

Hi,
In which way can I write the page of the Bibliography in the main index?
Add the following command in TeX mode, at the beginning of the
bibliografy:
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
This if you are using report style... if you are using article you
should change chapter with section. And if you are writing a document in
Italian language, you should put Bibliografia instead of Bibliography.
I hope this may help.

If the file is simple text in a word file you can use `strings' as a filter to produce an ascii file, which you can then edit by hand because strings is not perfect. Then import the result of that into LyX as an ascii file, and format it appropriately. I kid you not, it _does_ work. You could also look at:- http://www.fz-juelich.de/isr/1/texconv/pctotex.html for some other programs.

Re: Error when starting LyX 1.0.4
Hi Aleander, this is a problem of the german menu bindings file when you also use the emacs bindings. It is described in the de_menus.bind: emacs.bind uses M-d to delete a word (like in emacs), but de_menus.bind want's that keystroke for the "Datei" menu. The easiest solution is to edit emacs.bind (in LYX_DIR/bind) (or copy it to de_emacs.bind and edit that): Change \bind "M-d" "word-delete-forward" to \bind "M-S-D" "word-delete-forward" Peter Alexander Wollmann wrote: Hi!

However, by examining the results of running configure, I guess my problem is that LyX can find none of the document classes it is looking for with this configuration script. Is this right?

article class question
I have just installed the latest lyx version, and have a query which may (or probably is not) related to this. Does ams article class support 'Part' along with 'section' etc. Lyx would suggest it does, but when I latex the document, any 'Part' I have defined is shown in plain text. I assume LyX found amsarticle ok on the configure as it appears in my lyx menus, so can't really understand why i would be getting this mis-formatting, unless it is a newly emerged latex problem i guess. thanks for your thoughts Tony

Re: Bug? Reading math mode formulas
Hello,
Tanks to Jean-Pierre for the solution he gave me. Note that since it
is not possible to insert directly 8bits characters in math mode, one
have to use \acute, \grave... commands if one wants to use accentuated
characters (to get é you have to type "\acute e"). See Jean-Pierre's
examples below.

Nice to hear about that. Still one popup (or call it dialog box?) behaves strange when I fit it to full screen height: Open the Insert cross-reference dialog, there appears a name-box (I cannot use it, what's it good for?). This field resizes very bad and then covers about 90% of the list box and therefore makes it unreadable. But, to say that again. Wow, a lot happend since 0.10.7 I wrote my thesis for a diploma with.

Add the following command in TeX mode, at the beginning of the
bibliografy:
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}
This if you are using report style... if you are using article you
should change chapter with section. And if you are writing a document in
Italian language, you should put Bibliografia instead of Bibliography.
I hope this may help.

Hi, How can I transfer a word file "filename.doc" to lyx? Thanks for helpRamin
how to make a rpm for 1.0.4 on RedHat 5.x ?
Hi everybody! I´m very happy to hear that LyX 1.0.4 is out! I use RedHat 5.x, but all the rpm´s are compiled for RedHat 6.0. Can anyone tell me in a few words how to make a rpm-file for my system? I have to compile the .src.rpm - file, right?

revtex.sty not found???
Hello, I've downloaded LyX 1.0.4 to my Linux RedHat 6 PC. Also installed the tetex-lyx files. So far I was using "Class: Article" in Layout->Document... No problems with either 1.0.3 or 1.0.4 for viewing dvi or ps. With 1.0.4 I decided to replace Article by Article(REVTeX), which immediately results in an error when wanting to view dvi. The LaTeX log file says: [snip] Entering LaTeX 2.09 COMPATIBILITY MODE [snip] !LaTeX Error: File 'revtex.sty' not found [cut] 2 questions: (1) Why going into 2.09 compatibility mode? (2) How, what and where about the revtex.sty file? Thanks a lot for your help, Rob.

If the file is simple text in a word file you can use `strings' as a filter to produce an ascii file, which you can then edit by hand because strings is not perfect. Then import the result of that into LyX as an ascii file, and format it appropriately. I kid you not, it _does_ work. You could also look at:- http://www.fz-juelich.de/isr/1/texconv/pctotex.html for some other programs. You might also be able to import the file into either WordPerfect or StarOffice and just go from there using the word processor. If it is full of formulae you are probably out of luck. -- Sincerely etc., NAMEChristopher Sawtell - Support Engineer - iOpen Technologies Ltd.

You can build the RPM from the tar archive, not a src rpm. hope thie helps Tony
Re: Error when starting LyX 1.0.4
Hi Aleander, this is a problem of the german menu bindings file when you also use the emacs bindings. It is described in the de_menus.bind: emacs.bind uses M-d to delete a word (like in emacs), but de_menus.bind want's that keystroke for the "Datei" menu. The easiest solution is to edit emacs.bind (in LYX_DIR/bind) (or copy it to de_emacs.bind and edit that): Change \bind "M-d" "word-delete-forward" to \bind "M-S-D" "word-delete-forward" Peter Alexander Wollmann wrote: > Hi! > > I just installed 1.0.4 from the src.rpm - package.

I see what you mean now. I cannot think of a good fix to the problem: margin notes are designed to appear not before the point where they have been issued, so it is difficult to move them.

Re: Executing LyX
Thanks, Following is the result of rerunning the configure script. I've looked at doc/LaTexConfig.lyx as suggested below and not found it particularly enlightening. However, by examining the results of running configure, I guess my problem is that LyX can find none of the document classes it is looking for with this configuration script. Is this right? If so, how do I retrieve them--should they have been part of my Latex distribution, or are they from another source? Any help is greatly appreciated. I need to have this up and running soon--I just don't have them time to learn latex right now.

Pagination Query
Hello I'm new to lyx, and am unsure of how to paginate my document's pages in the following format: For the front portion of my document, I am required to paginate it in roman numerals (i, ii, iii ...), but subsequently for the rest of the document, I am supposed to use numbers starting from 1,2,3 Any help rendered will be greatly appreciated.

You should be able to just do ``rpm --rebuild lyx-1.0.4-1.src.rpm'' provided that you have the development tools and the xforms library installed. This should generate your RPM (which you can then install). Once you do this, please rename your RPM to something obvious like lyx-1.0.4-1-5.2.i386.rpm and upload it to my incoming directory (ftp.sylvan.com/incoming) so I can provide it for other RedHat 5.X users. Several people volunteered to do this for RH 4.X and RH 5.X but never followed through. ---Kayvan -- Kayvan Aghaiepour Sylvan | Proud husband of | Father to my kids: Sylvan Associates, Inc. | Laura Isabella Sylvan | Katherine Yelena (8/8/89) http://sylvan.com/~kayvan | | Robin Gregory (2/28/92)
article class question
I have just installed the latest lyx version, and have a query which may (or probably is not) related to this. Does ams article class support 'Part' along with 'section' etc. Lyx would suggest it does, but when I latex the document, any 'Part' I have defined is shown in plain text. I assume LyX found amsarticle ok on the configure as it appears in my lyx menus, so can't really understand why i would be getting this mis-formatting, unless it is a newly emerged latex problem i guess. thanks for your thoughts Tony

Hello,
I'm preparing a bibliography using BibTex. I ran in to a problem though.
When I produce .DVI file the following error message appears:
Your field is more than 5000 characters---line 471 of file

I'm skipping whatever remains of this entry

Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "T1"

Does anybody know what causes this problem? How can I fix it?
Thank you very much.

Huh. I had no problem with rpm-ing lyx for RH 6.0.

I have to restart a bit this discussion again as I am having the same problems with my netscape (4.5) mail-programm. The "funny" thing is that with the following entries in the message filters list filtering mails from the lyx-users-list SOMETIMES WORKS and sometimes NOT ! :-( message filters: 1. I created a new folder named LYX. 2. in the field filter-name I put: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3. in the following fields: to + CONTAINS ==> [EMAIL PROTECTED] to or CC + CONTAINS ==> [EMAIL PROTECTED] an I turned on "Match all of the following" So - as I mentioned out - I already had a lot of cases where the incoming mails went into the right folder, correctly filtered, but also often, when it did NOT ???!!
