relyx: Are there limitations?

1999-10-24 Thread Jan Ulrich Hasecke

Hi Lyxers,

I want to insert a big latex-file into Lyx via Relyx. 
Lyx creates four files in the working directory named
filename.relyx[1-4] but no lyx-file. 

The size of the latex-file is 678063 Byte

I tried it with different preambles - but with no
success.

Ciao!

Guys,

Any included file has to be in the same dir as the lyx doc you are
including it into.  So all files exported from xfig needs to be in the
current dir.  The current dir is always searched for input files
unless you messed up your texinputs path.

I indicated in a previous answer to this thread that it seemed
to me that \input@path does nothing about the 
\special{psfile=foo.pstex}
which is in the foo.pstex_t file
(correctly inputted as is, without renamimg it to foo.pstex_t.tex).


Is this the real problem ?
Somebody suggested to put an absolute path in the \special instruction, like
\special{psfile=/my/path/to/lyx/doc/dir/foo.pstex}
and it works, but it would be better to keep on with relative path names IMHO.

In the same line, I mentioned that it seemed that the texmf tree is searched
before the \input@path, which is a big difference between work in the temporary
and work in the lyx doc dir after exporting as LaTeX (and breaks the way
I mask general settings by local ones).
Is that correct also ?

Hi all.

I'm thinking of using Lyx to write my master's report. Most here know
why .. it's stable, it's clean, it works well for what it does.

I understand several others have used Lyx to write their theses. What
is an appropriate class to use? Are there classes one can install that
are specialized for this type of document?

Also, I expect to have a moderate about of source code in my
report. Perhaps I'm just ignorant, but even today I cannot figure out
how to incorporate source code properly into a Lyx document. The
Lyx-Code seemed like it might work, but I've found that I can't
control it well. It doesn't "look" right to me. For example, if my
report is double-spaced, is there a way to have the code
single-spaced?  I also can't seem to have tab-indents in
Lyx-Code. Things of that sort. Am I missing something?

I use often Insert-Input data generated by external software which I encapsulate
between \begin{verbatim}\end{verbatim} when producing it.
When you re-run the software, the LyX doc is automativally updated
at the next latex run. To deal with line wrap, you need improved
versions of verbatim to avoid code modification.
For programs editing, the lgrind package produces pretty-printing of various
languages (C, C++, ...). See the next CTAN archive.
