Publication on Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research
Dear LyX-ers,
I am about to send a manuscript for publication in Industrial and
Engineering Chemistry Research (an American Chemical Society magazine).
They allow TeX/LaTeX files in BUT they state:
(...) Avoid using \include, \epsffile{}, or \input commands to link
external files, including any graphics files. All the parts of the paper
listed above must be present within a single file. (...)
I am rather dubious about how I can put my EPS or mixed LaTeX/PostScript
image files inside the main document. So far, I used "Insert-Figure-EPS"
and "Insert-Include-Use Include, respectively. What should I do now? Is
it at all possible (maybe, using raw LaTeX, if LyX does not support this).
Thanks in advance for your consideration and help.

References across multi-part documents?
Hi,
is there a way to insert cross-references which span different parts of a
multi-part document? I am writing a book which presently consists of a
"book.lyx" file which includes several "part_{1..4}.lyx" files.
I would like to refer in the "part_1.lyx" file to a marker I set in the
"part_4.lyx" file, but cannot do so for the marker is not visible in the
dialogue box.
No mention of this issue is made in the documentation, as far as I can
see.
So, is it possible to do it? If not, that would greatly deminish the value of
the multi-part document option.
I hope there is an ingenious way to do it...
BTW, I am using LyX 1.0.1 under both Linux and OS/2.
Thanks for any help,
Andreas

NEWBIE, please help on BOUNDING BOX problems
I am not an expert at all, and just came from the Win world to linux. I have some EPS images (obtained via a print to file on Postscript device), and when including them in a figure float they appear: 1) huge 2) half cut, since they are displaced in the lower right direction. Somebody told me this is a bounding box problem, and although it seems to me from reading the mailing list archive that once it could be solved via some option in the LyX InsertFigure popup, I cannot find it now (maybe it worked just in old LyX versions?). Now, I am a lazy guy and would prefer I can solve the problem in some beautiful click-and-drag environment. Somebody told me it can be done in Gv, but, in my version at least (3.5.8) I cannot find it. Can somebody help me, please???

If you need only a few characters or words of Hebrew or Yiddish, it
can be done handily in LyX with the package shalom. You add
\usepackage[shalom]{shalom}
to your LaTeX preface, and then include the Hebrew or Yiddish text in
LaTeX mode in a transliterated form:
\shalombox[\large \oldstyle]{\mem\alef/a\nun+ \tet\alef\resh+
\nun\yod\tet+ \bet\ayin\tet\nun+ \alef\vav\yod\fe+ \alef/a+
\nun\yod/a\yod\mem+ \mem\lamed\kaf.}
The shalom package offers several font and other options, and takes
care of reversing the letter order in the words. I don't recall
whether the Hebrew fonts are supplied with the package, or are
separately available from CTAN.
I have used the package in LyX for Yiddish (the above quote) and
Hebrew.

References across multi-part documents?
Hi,
is there a way to insert cross-references which span different parts of a
multi-part document? I am writing a book which presently consists of a
"book.lyx" file which includes several "part_{1..4}.lyx" files.
I would like to refer in the "part_1.lyx" file to a marker I set in the
"part_4.lyx" file, but cannot do so for the marker is not visible in the
dialogue box.
No mention of this issue is made in the documentation, as far as I can
see.
So, is it possible to do it? If not, that would greatly deminish the value of
the multi-part document option.
I hope there is an ingenious way to do it...
BTW, I am using LyX 1.0.1 under both Linux and OS/2.
Thanks for any help,
Andreas

When you submit a manuscript for an ACS journal, you should not include

If you need only a few characters or words of Hebrew or Yiddish, it
can be done handily in LyX with the package shalom. You add
\usepackage[shalom]{shalom}
to your LaTeX preface, and then include the Hebrew or Yiddish text in
LaTeX mode in a transliterated form:
\shalombox[\large \oldstyle]{\mem\alef/a\nun+ \tet\alef\resh+
\nun\yod\tet+ \bet\ayin\tet\nun+ \alef\vav\yod\fe+ \alef/a+
\nun\yod/a\yod\mem+ \mem\lamed\kaf.}
The shalom package offers several font and other options, and takes
care of reversing the letter order in the words. I don't recall
whether the Hebrew fonts are supplied with the package, or are
separately available from CTAN.
I have used the package in LyX for Yiddish (the above quote) and
Hebrew.

Yes.

That's where I stop to understand ;) It does not seem to me that TeX
style uses ~. Unless I am really stupid (which is very possible), the
part of code that you change is _not_ triggered in TeX style:
} else if (font.latex() == LyXFont::OFF) {
! if (font.family() == LyXFont::TYPEWRITER_FAMILY) {
file += '~';

Testing explicitely for the name of the environment is certainly not a
good idea. However, once we get to know what the actual problem is,
we'll certainly manage to find a fix.

I think there is a problem here. Currently, \input@path is set to

I am sorry. I am very stupid about getting my mode names right. My
problem is with:
\family typewriter
SELECT city FROM friends
\family default
This code is the one that gets translated to:
SELECT~city~FROM~friends
and when this text is part of a paragraph, no wrapping can occur within
this text. That is my problem. My patch prevents ~ translation for
'typewriter' mode, not TeX mode as I state.
I have retained the rest of the message for your reference. I have
fixed the naming of the modes.

Now, I am a lazy guy and would prefer I can solve the problem in some beautiful click-and-drag environment. Somebody told me it can be done in Gv, but, in my version at least (3.5.8) I cannot find it. Can somebody help me, please???

or should it be {{doc-path}} ??

Good hint!

Mh, seemingly reLyX cannot handle the [:] in

Without that it finished sucessfully.

When you submit a manuscript for an ACS journal, you should not include
your images inside the main document at all but send them in separate
files. They probably accept EPS. Figure captions should be in the main
document.

- Is is possible to use hebrew characters in a german Lyx text? If yes how?

- Is there a hebrew keybord mapping? (The web page says no, but perhaps it is
not up-to-date.)
- Is it possible to write from right to left?
- Is there a Lyx support for all this or do I need to write Latex-Commands?
- Similar questions about Greek...
If you need only a few characters or words of Hebrew or Yiddish, it
can be done handily in LyX with the package shalom. You add
\usepackage[shalom]{shalom}
to your LaTeX preface, and then include the Hebrew or Yiddish text in
LaTeX mode in a transliterated form:
\shalombox[\large \oldstyle]{\mem\alef/a\nun+ \tet\alef\resh+
\nun\yod\tet+ \bet\ayin\tet\nun+ \alef\vav\yod\fe+ \alef/a+
\nun\yod/a\yod\mem+ \mem\lamed\kaf.}
The shalom package offers several font and other options, and takes
care of reversing the letter order in the words. I don't recall
whether the Hebrew fonts are supplied with the package, or are
separately available from CTAN.
I have used the package in LyX for Yiddish (the above quote) and
Hebrew.
