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
always find the files that we look for.)

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.

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.

Thanks

when you choose the array-form, all formulas are written in textmode,
so it's not possible to write sum- or integral-symbols with indexes
over or under the sum or integral. All indexes are super- or subscripts.
This is a latex mode and not specific to lyx.

But it's not correct in lyx, because the indexes are over or under the
symbols.

in this mode (eqnarray) latex defines the left and the right part
as independent formulas and the middle one as textformula. This
means, that you can write sums and integrals with indexes over or
under the symbol. This is not possible for the middle part.

In this mode lyx shows all formulas as independent equations, which
is not right! 
Try this: Create a displayed equation, hit C-Return and than type a
sum with an index over and under the symbol. Copy this one in the other
two parts of the formula. LyX makes no differences, but ps-view shows
the right latex-definition: the left and the right part are the
same and the middle one is in textmode like the array-environment.

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.

Re: Pybliographer with LyX support

[Tony Dancer]

I have used both. Right now I find TKBIBTEX to be the most stable
(which also has a LyX pipe). However I will be switching to
Pybliographer soon - the searching for instance is far superior to
anything else, incl. gbib and barracuda. There are a few issues with
Pybliographer from a users point of view, but it is still beta (eg,
copy/duplicate an entry to save time filling in duplicate fields in new
entry, tab or return to move between fields in new entry etc). IMHO I
would recommend pybliographer - perhaps on the next release. It is one
I wait for with great anticipation. Finally, if gbib had a decent search
engine, I would probably use that right now instead of tkbibtex.

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.

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)

  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

Re: Pybliographer with LyX support

[Staffan Ringbom]

Dear userx,
 
gBibTeX  available through the gnome software list is also cool!
It also allows a direct link to LyX
Seems like LyX has achieved a nice respons among the devolpers for
BibTeX shells
Have anybody used both? Would be nice to know if either of them is superior.

  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.

Re: How to import files in sgml format?

  You can only do it with linuxdoc, where there is a sgml2lyx. There isn't
anything related with docbook (for sgmltools v2).

  The same as above.

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.

What version of LyX are you using now?

If 1.1.2 or 1.1.3pre1...

  .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.
