What version of LyX are you using now?

If 1.1.2 or 1.1.3pre1...

* you run update dvi
  .aux file is created and parsed for bibtex clues.
  bibtex is run, everything is resolved
* you change the bibtex style
* you rerun update dvi
  dep file is checked for changes in bibtex files if no changes
  bibtex is not run...
  latex is run one , aux file updated with correct bibtex style
  but lyx will never discover this...

Ok. I see the problem.

The solution is to parse the aux file always and compere the bibtex
files found to the ones already in the dep file. If they are different
(new or deleted) bibtex should be rerun.

I try hard for the LaTeX class to be selfcontained.

Expect a fix for this problem soon.

So far I think this is only a problem with bibtex.

Pybliographer with LyX support

[Florian Cramer]

If you want to couple LyX with a GUI-based BibTeX editor, check out the
latest release of Pybliographer http://www.gnome.org/pybliographer, a
Gnome-based application. Using the LyX server, it allows to insert
BibTeX references into LyX with a single mouse click.

While the program is still in beta, it seems much more usable to me than
Barracuda (because it properly handles converts 8bit characters, doesn't
choke on extra field definitions, produces very clean bibtex code and
handles other bibliographic formats than BibTeX) and should be an even
better fit to LyX as soon as LyX will have its own Gnome-frontend.

  You can only do it with linuxdoc, where there is a sgml2lyx. There isn't

  The same as above.

 comfortable with LaTeX, but don't have any experience with SGML.

  As much as I like the docbook backend (I wrote part of it) if you want
work done with lyx, the latex background already enables HTML and PDF,

  I know how to do it, but lazy as I am, I haven't done it yet. The idea

Re: keybindings for arbitrary symbols

[Andre' Poenitz]

 Philip Is it possible to bind arbitrary (non-math) symbols to a key,

 Philip The 'math- insert' and 'symbol-insert' functions seem to work
 Philip only with a small set of math symbols.

This is only partly true. 

The current CVS supports binding a key to a sequence of commands, so you
could bind 'C-i less' to

  'command-sequence tex-mode ; self-insert \guilsinglleft ; tex-mode ;'

(mind the semicolons, especially the last one)

 However, for the case you consider, it should
 be possible to extend the function quote-insert to accept an argument,
 which should not be too difficult.

No need to do so ;-)

You cannot currently. The easiest way, if the fonts are recognized by
LaTeX, is to add the proper commands in Layout-LaTeX_Preamble. For
example, all that the 'times' oprion does is:

% sans serif is helvetica
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{phv}
% normal is times
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ptm}
% typewriter is courier
\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{pcr}

As you can see, in many cases it is not very difficult. When it is
trickier (for ex. getting math font right), then there exists a latex
package to do it, and you just have to do, e.g.
\usepackage{pslatex}

Hope this helps.

But I confirm that LyX (1.0.4) doesn't update the bbl file

Arrays of equations. Problem: sum is not produced correctly.

Dear lyx users and developers,

a few weeks before deadline, i have a problem with aligning formulas
that should also be enumerated.
In order to align the formulas, i tried to use array environment (second
from the right in the middle row of the math-panel). The outcome looked
real nice in LyX, but quite different in the generated postscript: the
sum-index does no longer appear underneath the sum-symbol (but like it
would in a normal text context).  

1. Does anyone know a solution to that ? 

2. And, how do i produce an eqnarray (witout typing LaTeX) under LyX ?

3. How do i include a multi-page PostScript image in my document ?

Thanks

How do i change page sizes in the document ?

Dear LyXers,

can anyone tell me how change page sizes in a document ? In the main
part of my thesis, i want to use a wide margin because it is more
legible, but in the appendices, where i want to include my code in two
columns, i want to have small margins in order to save space. 

I tried something like:


\setlength{\textwidth}{140mm}
\setlength{\headwidth}{\textwidth}
\textheight=214mm
\oddsidemargin=8mm
\evensidemargin=8mm
\topmargin=2mm
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.3}

in the preamble (which seams to work allright), and then after \appendix
tried 

\setlength{\textwidth}{180mm}
\setlength{\headwidth}{\textwidth}
\textheight=214mm
\oddsidemargin=0mm
\evensidemargin=0mm
\topmargin=2mm
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\verbatiminput{main.f}
\end{multicols}

in TeX-mode, but this only messes up my headers and keeps the code as
messed up as without it.

you'd need to get those font packages from RH-6.x.  I think they are

You may also be interested in the following (I don't know if it will address
the ligature problems though)

 This is a couple of recommendations for pdf use.
_

Hi guys,

For those of you that distill or plan to distill latex generated ps files to pdf
then read on.

It has just come to my attention that postscipt files produced by dvips (in
linux and windows) often results in equations and some font types that don't
reproduce well.  This is because that computer modern (type 3) fonts are used. 
These are bit map fonts and consequently are a little dodgey when viewing
either on the screen or printing after distilling to pdf.  The solution is to
use type 1 postscript fonts instead which are fully scalable.

See the following for a better explanation
http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/543e.htm

To rectify the problem (with RH6 linux), change to Super user "su"
and edit the config.ps file
/usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps 

You then need to uncomment 3 lines.  change the following from

% Uncomment the following two lines to use Postscript Type1 fonts instead of
% bitmap fonts for computer modern  co.
% p +bsr.map
% p +bsr-interpolated.map
% p +hoekwater.map  

TO

% Uncomment the following two lines to use Postscript Type1 fonts instead of
% bitmap fonts for computer modern  co.
p +bsr.map
p +bsr-interpolated.map
p +hoekwater.map  

( If you have windows then add the following lines to your config.ps file
% Configuration of postscript type 1 fonts:
p psfonts.map
p +amsfonts.map
p +cmfonts.map
)

I then typed texhash and rebooted my machine (these 2 steps may not be
necessary).

Now when I distill using Adobe Acrobat the fonts are LOVELY!  Although
the files are slightly larger.

Happy distilling.

What version of LyX are you using now?

If 1.1.2 or 1.1.3pre1...

* you run update dvi
  .aux file is created and parsed for bibtex clues.
  bibtex is run, everything is resolved
* you change the bibtex style
* you rerun update dvi
  dep file is checked for changes in bibtex files if no changes
  bibtex is not run...
  latex is run one , aux file updated with correct bibtex style
  but lyx will never discover this...

Ok. I see the problem.

The solution is to parse the aux file always and compere the bibtex
files found to the ones already in the dep file. If they are different
(new or deleted) bibtex should be rerun.

I try hard for the LaTeX class to be selfcontained.

Expect a fix for this problem soon.

So far I think this is only a problem with bibtex.

Pybliographer with LyX support

[Florian Cramer]

If you want to couple LyX with a GUI-based BibTeX editor, check out the
latest release of Pybliographer http://www.gnome.org/pybliographer, a
Gnome-based application. Using the LyX server, it allows to insert
BibTeX references into LyX with a single mouse click.

While the program is still in beta, it seems much more usable to me than
Barracuda (because it properly handles converts 8bit characters, doesn't
choke on extra field definitions, produces very clean bibtex code and
handles other bibliographic formats than BibTeX) and should be an even
better fit to LyX as soon as LyX will have its own Gnome-frontend.

  As much as I like the docbook backend (I wrote part of it) if you want

Re: keybindings for arbitrary symbols

 Philip The 'math- insert' and 'symbol-insert' functions seem to work

This is only partly true. 

The current CVS supports binding a key to a sequence of commands, so you
could bind 'C-i less' to

  'command-sequence tex-mode ; self-insert \guilsinglleft ; tex-mode ;'

(mind the semicolons, especially the last one)

 However, for the case you consider, it should
 be possible to extend the function quote-insert to accept an argument,
 which should not be too difficult.

No need to do so ;-)

You cannot currently. The easiest way, if the fonts are recognized by
LaTeX, is to add the proper commands in Layout-LaTeX_Preamble. For
example, all that the 'times' oprion does is:

% sans serif is helvetica
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{phv}
% normal is times
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ptm}
% typewriter is courier
\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{pcr}

As you can see, in many cases it is not very difficult. When it is
trickier (for ex. getting math font right), then there exists a latex
package to do it, and you just have to do, e.g.
\usepackage{pslatex}

Hope this helps.

AFAIR (I posted on this already some time ago),
change in the bib style is not enough in plain LaTeX/BibTeX
to refresh the bbl file, you need to kill the existing one (or

It seems to be the same in LyX, close/open kills the aux and bbl files
by changing the temporary. Could be documented as is, unless

I'm sorry if I was a bit misleading this morning... I checked
with the current teTeX install (1.0) and bibtex deals correctly
with the \bibstyle command copied in the .aux file, so I must
have been confused with the .bib file updates 
(which are dealt with in LyX as I understand from Lars answer).
But I confirm that LyX (1.0.4) doesn't update the bbl file
upon a change of style (i.e. the bibtex run is not called).

Sorry for the misundertanding.

Arrays of equations. Problem: sum is not produced correctly.

Dear lyx users and developers,

a few weeks before deadline, i have a problem with aligning formulas
that should also be enumerated.
In order to align the formulas, i tried to use array environment (second
from the right in the middle row of the math-panel). The outcome looked
real nice in LyX, but quite different in the generated postscript: the
sum-index does no longer appear underneath the sum-symbol (but like it
would in a normal text context).  

1. Does anyone know a solution to that ? 

2. And, how do i produce an eqnarray (witout typing LaTeX) under LyX ?

3. How do i include a multi-page PostScript image in my document ?

Thanks

How do i change page sizes in the document ?

Dear LyXers,

can anyone tell me how change page sizes in a document ? In the main
part of my thesis, i want to use a wide margin because it is more
legible, but in the appendices, where i want to include my code in two
columns, i want to have small margins in order to save space. 

I tried something like:


\setlength{\textwidth}{140mm}
\setlength{\headwidth}{\textwidth}
\textheight=214mm
\oddsidemargin=8mm
\evensidemargin=8mm
\topmargin=2mm
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.3}

in the preamble (which seams to work allright), and then after \appendix
tried 

\setlength{\textwidth}{180mm}
\setlength{\headwidth}{\textwidth}
\textheight=214mm
\oddsidemargin=0mm
\evensidemargin=0mm
\topmargin=2mm
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\verbatiminput{main.f}
\end{multicols}

in TeX-mode, but this only messes up my headers and keeps the code as
messed up as without it.

you'd need to get those font packages from RH-6.x.  I think they are

You may also be interested in the following (I don't know if it will address
the ligature problems though)

 This is a couple of recommendations for pdf use.
_

Hi guys,

For those of you that distill or plan to distill latex generated ps files to pdf
then read on.

It has just come to my attention that postscipt files produced by dvips (in
linux and windows) often results in equations and some font types that don't
reproduce well.  This is because that computer modern (type 3) fonts are used. 
These are bit map fonts and consequently are a little dodgey when viewing
either on the screen or printing after distilling to pdf.  The solution is to
use type 1 postscript fonts instead which are fully scalable.

See the following for a better explanation
http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/543e.htm

To rectify the problem (with RH6 linux), change to Super user "su"
and edit the config.ps file
/usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps 

You then need to uncomment 3 lines.  change the following from

% Uncomment the following two lines to use Postscript Type1 fonts instead of
% bitmap fonts for computer modern  co.
% p +bsr.map
% p +bsr-interpolated.map
% p +hoekwater.map  

TO

% Uncomment the following two lines to use Postscript Type1 fonts instead of
% bitmap fonts for computer modern  co.
p +bsr.map
p +bsr-interpolated.map
p +hoekwater.map  

( If you have windows then add the following lines to your config.ps file
% Configuration of postscript type 1 fonts:
p psfonts.map
p +amsfonts.map
p +cmfonts.map
)

I then typed texhash and rebooted my machine (these 2 steps may not be
necessary).

Now when I distill using Adobe Acrobat the fonts are LOVELY!  Although
the files are slightly larger.

Happy distilling.

Ok. I see the problem.

The solution is to parse the aux file always and compere the bibtex
files found to the ones already in the dep file. If they are different
(new or deleted) bibtex should be rerun.

Pybliographer with LyX support

[Florian Cramer]

If you want to couple LyX with a GUI-based BibTeX editor, check out the
latest release of Pybliographer , a
Gnome-based application. Using the LyX server, it allows to insert
BibTeX references into LyX with a single mouse click.

While the program is still in beta, it seems much more usable to me than
Barracuda (because it properly handles converts 8bit characters, doesn't
choke on extra field definitions, produces very clean bibtex code and
handles other bibliographic formats than BibTeX) and should be an even
better fit to LyX as soon as LyX will have its own Gnome-frontend.

  You can only do it with linuxdoc, where there is a sgml2lyx. There isn't

  Docbook seems to be the perfect tool for that.
  As you probably know LyX has a primitive support for it.
  It handles already tables and figures. Also for man prodution it
needs a new textclass, that shouldn't be very hard to do.

  As much as I like the docbook backend (I wrote part of it) if you want
work done with lyx, the latex background already enables HTML and PDF,
as the recent threads in this maillingn list shows.

  I know how to do it, but lazy as I am, I haven't done it yet. The idea
is simply to break up the sgmtools v2 into several different rpm, and the
same for sgmltools v1.0 so that it won't conflict and instead share the
common pieces.

  Hi Horst,
the last step that we need to do that is to discover how docbook translation
is done for different setup/distribution.

  We need this at configuration time, to have a decent default if the user has docbook
support. Then we need to know how it is called.

  The list that I have already is:

   * sgmltools v2.0 installed:

sgmltools executable found in $PATH

\docbook_dvi "sgmltools -b dvi $$FName"

   * The default red hat 6.* docbook tools 

db2html executable found in $PATH

db2ps is the tool that is most similar to the intend

   * Suse docbook tools?

I have one computer with them installed but I didn't have the time look it...

   * custom


   * others?

  Can you or anyone fill the gaps?

  After that we can implement it safely...

This is only partly true. 

The current CVS supports binding a key to a sequence of commands, so you
could bind 'C-i less' to

  'command-sequence tex-mode ; self-insert \guilsinglleft ; tex-mode ;'

(mind the semicolons, especially the last one)

You cannot currently. The easiest way, if the fonts are recognized by
LaTeX, is to add the proper commands in Layout->LaTeX_Preamble. For
example, all that the 'times' oprion does is:

% sans serif is helvetica
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{phv}
% normal is times
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ptm}
% typewriter is courier
\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{pcr}

As you can see, in many cases it is not very difficult. When it is
trickier (for ex. getting math font right), then there exists a latex
package to do it, and you just have to do, e.g.
\usepackage{pslatex}

Hope this helps.

I'm sorry if I was a bit misleading this morning... I checked
with the current teTeX install (1.0) and bibtex deals correctly
with the \bibstyle command copied in the .aux file, so I must
have been confused with the .bib file updates 
(which are dealt with in LyX as I understand from Lars answer).
But I confirm that LyX (1.0.4) doesn't update the bbl file
upon a change of style (i.e. the bibtex run is not called).

Sorry for the misundertanding.

Arrays of equations. Problem: sum is not produced correctly.

[Martina Schwarz van Doorn]

Dear lyx users and developers,

a few weeks before deadline, i have a problem with aligning formulas
that should also be enumerated.
In order to align the formulas, i tried to use array environment (second
from the right in the middle row of the math-panel). The outcome looked
real nice in LyX, but quite different in the generated postscript: the
sum-index does no longer appear underneath the sum-symbol (but like it
would in a normal text context).  

1. Does anyone know a solution to that ? 

2. And, how do i produce an eqnarray (witout typing LaTeX) under LyX ?

3. How do i include a multi-page PostScript image in my document ?

Thanks

Martina

Title without Date in Article textclass

How do i change page sizes in the document ?

[Martina Schwarz van Doorn]

Dear LyXers,

can anyone tell me how change page sizes in a document ? In the main
part of my thesis, i want to use a wide margin because it is more
legible, but in the appendices, where i want to include my code in two
columns, i want to have small margins in order to save space. 

I tried something like:


\setlength{\textwidth}{140mm}
\setlength{\headwidth}{\textwidth}
\textheight=214mm
\oddsidemargin=8mm
\evensidemargin=8mm
\topmargin=2mm
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.3}

in the preamble (which seams to work allright), and then after \appendix
tried 

\setlength{\textwidth}{180mm}
\setlength{\headwidth}{\textwidth}
\textheight=214mm
\oddsidemargin=0mm
\evensidemargin=0mm
\topmargin=2mm
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\verbatiminput{main.f}
\end{multicols}

in TeX-mode, but this only messes up my headers and keeps the code as
messed up as without it.

RH-5.1 doesn't come with the extra font packages that RH-6.x does.  So
you'd need to get those font packages from RH-6.x.  I think they are
separate and might actually be part of the urw-fonts package.  But I could
be wrong.  You could always just retrieve teTeX from RH-6.1 and upgrade to
that -- although you'd have to rebuild the src.rpm unless you also
upgraded your glibc and possibly a few other things.

Yes I read a bit too quickly the first time.

I have now written suppor for this, however LyX will only rerun Bibtex
and LaTeX if we can find the .bib or .bst file in question.

(or I could of course make it so that if the bib or bst is not found
we always rerun... better option would be to enhance findtexfile to

You may also be interested in the following (I don't know if it will address

> This is a couple of recommendations for pdf use.
_

Hi guys,

For those of you that distill or plan to distill latex generated ps files to pdf
then read on.

It has just come to my attention that postscipt files produced by dvips (in
linux and windows) often results in equations and some font types that don't
reproduce well.  This is because that computer modern (type 3) fonts are used. 
These are bit map fonts and consequently are a little dodgey when viewing
either on the screen or printing after distilling to pdf.  The solution is to
use type 1 postscript fonts instead which are fully scalable.

See the following for a better explanation
http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/543e.htm

To rectify the problem (with RH6 linux), change to Super user "su"
and edit the config.ps file
/usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps 

You then need to uncomment 3 lines.  change the following from

% Uncomment the following two lines to use Postscript Type1 fonts instead of
% bitmap fonts for computer modern & co.
% p +bsr.map
% p +bsr-interpolated.map
% p +hoekwater.map  

TO

% Uncomment the following two lines to use Postscript Type1 fonts instead of
% bitmap fonts for computer modern & co.
p +bsr.map
p +bsr-interpolated.map
p +hoekwater.map  

( If you have windows then add the following lines to your config.ps file
% Configuration of postscript type 1 fonts:
p psfonts.map
p +amsfonts.map
p +cmfonts.map
)

I then typed texhash and rebooted my machine (these 2 steps may not be
necessary).

Now when I distill using Adobe Acrobat the fonts are LOVELY!  Although
the files are slightly larger.

Happy distilling.

Ben
