reLyX problems
Hi there, a few days ago it happened to me that LyX crashed (Rel. 1.1.4). After the crash LyX couldn't read the LyX-file well: it told me that there were problems during reading it and at the end all I got was about a quarter of the original file. Fortunately, before it crashed I exported the file as LaTeX (which was obviously not the reason why LyX crashed). Unfortunately, an import of this LaTeX-file via File - Import didn't work. So I tried a "reLyX -d [LaTeX-file]". First, it seemed to wok very well, but at the end of "reLyXing" I got the following error message: -snip Expecting `}', got \end in ` ' at /usr/X11R6/bin/../share/lyx/reLyX/Text/TeX.pm line 397, TeXOpenFile0003 chunk 5218.

Exited due to fatal Error! -snip- Does anybody have an idea what's going wrong? (If necessary I could send the LaTeX-file, of course...)

try in lyx-mathmode alt-M-m for writing in textmode for "m" and "s" or
$\frac{\textrm{m}}{\textrm{s}}$in text-mathode, which is just the

Unfortunately this is the wrong approach, at least when using computer
modern fonts for math typesetting. Try to press M-c r (which is the
english mapping for font-roman, german users which use de_menus.bind
should press M-z r), this gives you a \mathrm encapsulation for the
letters typed afterwards. Any "math" operator switches the font back, so
check twice if your letters m and s are "upright" and not "italics".
On the other hand, if you type a dimension within your floating text,
you should use the same font as in the text itself. Here the
text-mathmode might be a good choice.
Or use \usepackage{mathptm} (or {mathptmx}) to use Times as the math
font. Then your measurements should look the same as the rest
(disregarding \mathrm or \textrm).

Colors in Lyx
Hello People,
my name is Roman Poeschl. I am working since two months now with
lyx 1.0.4. First of all it is in many ways the thing I have always
serched for.
Recently, I have tried to prepare a talk using the slide mode
of Lyx. Unfortunately, I did not manage to put any colored text
onto the slides. When I try the tex commands like eg. '\color{red}'
or '\red' Lyx tells me that these commands are never defined. I also
fiddled around with the latex preamble but I did not succeed.
Of course I can hack all the text in plain tex but that is exactly
the thing which one wants to avoid using Lyx. Is there anyone haveing
an idea how to produce colored slides using Lyx. I would be grateful
for a response.
Nevertheless, I think that Lyx is a real step forward.
Cheers,
Roman

Go in Layout-Chracter. There you will find (surprise!) an entry named

The babel input conventions are designed for shortcut entry of special

that ~ is a nonbreaking space or " just a double quote and not some
fancy macro...
We have a greek.kmap keymap file in the distribution. Does it work?

François In the latex file we get the preamble:

François I think that the syntax:
François \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
François \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[greek]{babel}
François should be better.
As Lars said, this allows all packages to have the language

François How to get a multilingual preamble?
François \usepackage[greek,french]{babel}
Unfortunately, we are not there yet...
François Last: what is the lyx release in which there are separate

François can't browse the manual because it a read only file!
This problem is fixed in 1.1.4fix1. The search and replace are not

Subject: Formatting source code
Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 11:29:01 -0800
Hello!
I'm currently writing my thesis and need to have some code snippets as part of
it. Unfortunately, because I'll be using double spacing, simply putting the
code in and changing it to a typewriter font, or using Lyx-Code causes the
code
to be double spaced as well, making it really hard to read (and fairly ugly).
Is there a way to separately control the spacing of Lyx-Code? Alternatively,
what is There are about 40 known languages.a good way to insert code so that
it'll look proper? Also, is there
such a thing as a "code float" (like a figure float) ?
Thanks.
I use the lgrind latex package, which can be used in LyX using ERT.
Works with preprocessing using a shell command (lgrind) which must
be installed in the bin directory of the LaTeX installation.
Provides pretty printing and line numbering of various languages,
and can be used standalone, e.g.
%lgrind -lC -o foo.tex foo.c
%latex foo;dvips foo
provides a printed version of C code in foo.c.
There are about 40 recognised languages.
Does not fold long lines however, you have to format yourself.
So with LyX:
- get the package from the nearest CTAN archive
- install it in the LaTeX tree
- make it available (texhash with teTeX)
- preprocess the code for inline inclusion in a latex doc, e.g.
%lgrind -i -lC -o foo.c.tex foo.c
- edit the premable in LyX, e.g.:
\usepackage[lineno5,leftno,norules]{lgrind}
- at the right location in the doc, insert in ERT
\lgrindfile{foo.c.tex}
Should work OK, perhaps a bit sophisticated for simple pieces of code,
in which case a simple Lyx input of the code embedded between
\begin{verbatim}
...
\end{verbatim}
could be sufficient.

RE: Win32Port ...
Hello, I am a new LyX-user and new to this list; at this moment I am using the Win32Port of Claus Hentschel (LyX 1.1.4fix1); I have two questions (at this moment); maybe somemone can help me. At first: when I use the option 'view dvi', this will not work with the files 'UserGuide.lyx' and 'Extended.lyx'; at the moment that Yap should open I get a message: C:\tmp\lyx_tmp1001aab\lyx_bufrtmp1001aaa\UserGuide.dvi: cannot open DVI document With the other files from the help-menu and my own files this does not happen. make sure that you have the following commands in your lyxrc file. \view_dvi_command "yap `cygpath -w $$FName`" \view_dvi_paper_option "" \view_ps_command "gsview32 `cygpath -w $$FName`" These commands make sure that yap and gsview32 are called with the right parameters. If yap and/or gsview32 are not in your path you can specify the complete path here. With this it works for me (official 1.1.4fix1 version from CVS). I do not know whether Claus Hentschels port has additional changes. Second: my system is completely hanging when in the lyxrc-file behind /ps_command the default words "gs" are not removed ; this also happens with 'UserGuide.lyx' and 'Extended.lyx'; when I delete gs there is no problem; why? You can try to do the following in your lyxrc file. \view_pspic_command gsview32 \ps_command gswin32c Though inlined pictures do not work because of certain limitations in ghostscript and presumably problems with the fork calls. These problems will not go away anytime soon so you are best off finding a Linux box if you really desire to see inlined pictures :-) Regards Roland Greetings, Sjaak Kamerling Holland PS: Sorry for the "premature posting earlier" - Netscape Messenger just plain sucks -- Dr.-Ing.

Follow-up question: are you sure you get ' when typing '-key twice in
linux? What you should get is the special acute accent character,
which is different.
And do you get \i \'{ } by typing ' twice? I get it by typing ' and
then space.
JMarc
Jean-Marc,
You're right when I type ' twice I get a space in LyX (even if there is
already a space! I can add as many spaces as I want, that way!)
I get the funny acute accent when I type ' space
The desired feature is: ' ' -- '
or ' space -- '
Thanks for your help
Bien amicalement

Formatting source code
Hello! I'm currently writing my thesis and need to have some code snippets as part of it. Unfortunately, because I'll be using double spacing, simply putting the code in and changing it to a typewriter font, or using Lyx-Code causes the code to be double spaced as well, making it really hard to read (and fairly ugly). Is there a way to separately control the spacing of Lyx-Code? Alternatively, what is a good way to insert code so that it'll look proper? Also, is there such a thing as a "code float" (like a figure float) ? Thanks.

Hi Stephen,
I've CC'ed this to the users list since I think it might help other people
to know my approach in solving these types of problems.
What I did was the following:
1) Run reLyX on your file to see if I could make heads or tails of the error
message (which I couldn't).
2) Open up your file in an editor and split it in half by inserting a
\begin{reLyXskip} and \end{reLyXskip} in the file like this:
%%% BEGIN HERE
\begin{reLyXskip}
[]
%%% END HERE
\end{reLyXskip}
I do this in such a way that I respect the logical structure of the
LaTeX document (i.e. don't put an end{reLyXskip} in the middle of an
enumerated list).
3) Run reLyX. This works. Now I've isolated the problem to the first
half of the document.
4) Using a binary search method, by moving the reLyXskip block around
the file, I isolate the problems.
In any case, please apply this patch to your file and run it through reLyX,
then you should be able to fix up the file again in LyX.
Hopefully, when I fix some of the outstanding reLyX bugs, we will have less
of these types of problems, but meanwhile you (and others) can apply this
method to isolate reLyX translation problems.
Best regards,
---Kayvan

reLyX problems
Hi there, a few days ago it happened to me that LyX crashed (Rel. 1.1.4). After the crash LyX couldn't read the LyX-file well: it told me that there were problems during reading it and at the end all I got was about a quarter of the original file. Fortunately, before it crashed I exported the file as LaTeX (which was obviously not the reason why LyX crashed). Unfortunately, an import of this LaTeX-file via File - Import didn't work. So I tried a "reLyX -d [LaTeX-file]". First, it seemed to wok very well, but at the end of "reLyXing" I got the following error message: -snip Expecting `}', got \end in ` ' at /usr/X11R6/bin/../share/lyx/reLyX/Text/TeX.pm line 397, TeXOpenFile0003 chunk 5218.

Unfortunately this is the wrong approach, at least when using computer
modern fonts for math typesetting. Try to press M-c r (which is the
english mapping for font-roman, german users which use de_menus.bind
should press M-z r), this gives you a \mathrm encapsulation for the
letters typed afterwards. Any "math" operator switches the font back, so
check twice if your letters m and s are "upright" and not "italics".
On the other hand, if you type a dimension within your floating text,
you should use the same font as in the text itself. Here the
text-mathmode might be a good choice.
Or use \usepackage{mathptm} (or {mathptmx}) to use Times as the math
font. Then your measurements should look the same as the rest
(disregarding \mathrm or \textrm).

Colors in Lyx
Hello People,
my name is Roman Poeschl. I am working since two months now with
lyx 1.0.4. First of all it is in many ways the thing I have always
serched for.
Recently, I have tried to prepare a talk using the slide mode
of Lyx. Unfortunately, I did not manage to put any colored text
onto the slides. When I try the tex commands like eg. '\color{red}'
or '\red' Lyx tells me that these commands are never defined. I also
fiddled around with the latex preamble but I did not succeed.
Of course I can hack all the text in plain tex but that is exactly
the thing which one wants to avoid using Lyx. Is there anyone haveing
an idea how to produce colored slides using Lyx. I would be grateful
for a response.
Nevertheless, I think that Lyx is a real step forward.
Cheers,
Roman

Go in Layout-Chracter. There you will find (surprise!) an entry named

characters and are not really needed by LyX. And LyX does need to know
that ~ is a nonbreaking space or " just a double quote and not some
fancy macro...
We have a greek.kmap keymap file in the distribution. Does it work?
[as you can see, I know nothing about the particular problems of greek
language..]. BTW, what is a 'spirit'?
François In the latex file we get the preamble:
François \documentclass[12pt,a4paper,greek]{article}
François \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{babel}
François I think that the syntax:
François \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
François \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[greek]{babel}
François should be better.
As Lars said, this allows all packages to have the language
information. In any case, babel gets to see the option.
François How to get a multilingual preamble?
François \usepackage[greek,french]{babel}
Unfortunately, we are not there yet...
François Last: what is the lyx release in which there are separate
François fonctions to search and replace: in my version (1.1.4 pre) I
François can't browse the manual because it a read only file!
This problem is fixed in 1.1.4fix1. The search and replace are not
separated, but work correctly on read-only documents.
Hope this helps.

Re: Macros ?
"Luis" == Luis A Fernandez [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Luis Hi all, So far I've been quite happy with LyX for some 3 years Luis now. I've done a lot of writing with it: papers, articles, Luis books, classnotes, lists of problems for the students and so on. Luis However, I have to write a LOT of chemistry, which is rather Luis tedious (things like proton concentration: [H+] -the '+' as Luis superscript-). Up to the moment I was more or less happy once I Luis got to know by heart the different key-bindings. But I came up Luis wondering if there's a way of defining one's own key-bindings Luis (can I call it a macro ?), for instance, the proton concentation Luis mentioned above in a way that if I, for instance, type Alt-F1 Luis the whole thing shows up. I would really appreciate Luis pointers/suggestions so as how to do this, it it can be done. What we have now are math macros (look in the user guide on how to do that). Once the macro is setup, you can probably bind a key to math-insert foo to insert macro foo. I do not know whether this is what you want... JMarc

Subject: Formatting source code
Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 11:29:01 -0800
Hello!
I'm currently writing my thesis and need to have some code snippets as part of
it. Unfortunately, because I'll be using double spacing, simply putting the
code in and changing it to a typewriter font, or using Lyx-Code causes the
code
to be double spaced as well, making it really hard to read (and fairly ugly).
Is there a way to separately control the spacing of Lyx-Code? Alternatively,
what is There are about 40 known languages.a good way to insert code so that
it'll look proper? Also, is there
such a thing as a "code float" (like a figure float) ?
Thanks.
I use the lgrind latex package, which can be used in LyX using ERT.
Works with preprocessing using a shell command (lgrind) which must
be installed in the bin directory of the LaTeX installation.
Provides pretty printing and line numbering of various languages,
and can be used standalone, e.g.
%lgrind -lC -o foo.tex foo.c
%latex foo;dvips foo
provides a printed version of C code in foo.c.
There are about 40 recognised languages.
Does not fold long lines however, you have to format yourself.
So with LyX:
- get the package from the nearest CTAN archive
- install it in the LaTeX tree
- make it available (texhash with teTeX)
- preprocess the code for inline inclusion in a latex doc, e.g.
%lgrind -i -lC -o foo.c.tex foo.c
- edit the premable in LyX, e.g.:
\usepackage[lineno5,leftno,norules]{lgrind}
- at the right location in the doc, insert in ERT
\lgrindfile{foo.c.tex}
Should work OK, perhaps a bit sophisticated for simple pieces of code,
in which case a simple Lyx input of the code embedded between
\begin{verbatim}
...
\end{verbatim}
could be sufficient.

RE: Win32Port ...
Hello, I am a new LyX-user and new to this list; at this moment I am using the Win32Port of Claus Hentschel (LyX 1.1.4fix1); I have two questions (at this moment); maybe somemone can help me. At first: when I use the option 'view dvi', this will not work with the files 'UserGuide.lyx' and 'Extended.lyx'; at the moment that Yap should open I get a message: C:\tmp\lyx_tmp1001aab\lyx_bufrtmp1001aaa\UserGuide.dvi: cannot open DVI document With the other files from the help-menu and my own files this does not happen. make sure that you have the following commands in your lyxrc file. \view_dvi_command "yap `cygpath -w $$FName`" \view_dvi_paper_option "" \view_ps_command "gsview32 `cygpath -w $$FName`" These commands make sure that yap and gsview32 are called with the right parameters. If yap and/or gsview32 are not in your path you can specify the complete path here. With this it works for me (official 1.1.4fix1 version from CVS). I do not know whether Claus Hentschels port has additional changes. Second: my system is completely hanging when in the lyxrc-file behind /ps_command the default words "gs" are not removed ; this also happens with 'UserGuide.lyx' and 'Extended.lyx'; when I delete gs there is no problem; why? You can try to do the following in your lyxrc file. \view_pspic_command gsview32 \ps_command gswin32c Though inlined pictures do not work because of certain limitations in ghostscript and presumably problems with the fork calls. These problems will not go away anytime soon so you are best off finding a Linux box if you really desire to see inlined pictures :-) Regards Roland Greetings, Sjaak Kamerling Holland PS: Sorry for the "premature posting earlier" - Netscape Messenger just plain sucks -- Dr.-Ing.

Jean-Marc,
You're right when I type ' twice I get a space in LyX (even if there is

I get the funny acute accent when I type ' space
The desired feature is: ' ' -- '

Hi Stephen,
I've CC'ed this to the users list since I think it might help other people
to know my approach in solving these types of problems.
What I did was the following:
1) Run reLyX on your file to see if I could make heads or tails of the error
message (which I couldn't).
2) Open up your file in an editor and split it in half by inserting a
\begin{reLyXskip} and \end{reLyXskip} in the file like this:
%%% BEGIN HERE
\begin{reLyXskip}
[]
%%% END HERE
\end{reLyXskip}
I do this in such a way that I respect the logical structure of the
LaTeX document (i.e. don't put an end{reLyXskip} in the middle of an
enumerated list).
3) Run reLyX. This works. Now I've isolated the problem to the first
half of the document.
4) Using a binary search method, by moving the reLyXskip block around
the file, I isolate the problems.
In any case, please apply this patch to your file and run it through reLyX,
then you should be able to fix up the file again in LyX.
Hopefully, when I fix some of the outstanding reLyX bugs, we will have less
of these types of problems, but meanwhile you (and others) can apply this
method to isolate reLyX translation problems.
Best regards,

reLyX problems
Hi there, a few days ago it happened to me that LyX crashed (Rel. 1.1.4). After the crash LyX couldn't read the LyX-file well: it told me that there were problems during reading it and at the end all I got was about a quarter of the original file. Fortunately, before it crashed I exported the file as LaTeX (which was obviously not the reason why LyX crashed). Unfortunately, an import of this LaTeX-file via File -> Import didn't work. So I tried a "reLyX -d [LaTeX-file]". First, it seemed to wok very well, but at the end of "reLyXing" I got the following error message: -snip Expecting `}', got \end in ` ' at /usr/X11R6/bin/../share/lyx/reLyX/Text/TeX.pm line 397, chunk 5218.

Unfortunately this is the wrong approach, at least when using computer
modern fonts for math typesetting. Try to press M-c r (which is the
english mapping for font-roman, german users which use de_menus.bind
should press M-z r), this gives you a \mathrm encapsulation for the
letters typed afterwards. Any "math" operator switches the font back, so
check twice if your letters m and s are "upright" and not "italics".
On the other hand, if you type a dimension within your floating text,
you should use the same font as in the text itself. Here the
text-mathmode might be a good choice.
Or use \usepackage{mathptm} (or {mathptmx}) to use Times as the math
font. Then your measurements should look the same as the rest
(disregarding \mathrm or \textrm).
HTH,
Frank

Colors in Lyx
Hello People,
my name is Roman Poeschl. I am working since two months now with
lyx 1.0.4. First of all it is in many ways the thing I have always
serched for.
Recently, I have tried to prepare a talk using the slide mode
of Lyx. Unfortunately, I did not manage to put any colored text
onto the slides. When I try the tex commands like eg. '\color{red}'
or '\red' Lyx tells me that these commands are never defined. I also
fiddled around with the latex preamble but I did not succeed.
Of course I can hack all the text in plain tex but that is exactly
the thing which one wants to avoid using Lyx. Is there anyone haveing
an idea how to produce colored slides using Lyx. I would be grateful
for a response.
Nevertheless, I think that Lyx is a real step forward.
Cheers,
Roman

Go in Layout->Chracter. There you will find (surprise!) an entry named
'color'. You cannot select all colors this way, but it is better than
nothing.

I use the lgrind latex package, which can be used in LyX using ERT.
Works with preprocessing using a shell command (lgrind) which must
be installed in the bin directory of the LaTeX installation.
Provides pretty printing and line numbering of various languages,
and can be used standalone, e.g.
%lgrind -lC -o foo.tex foo.c
%latex foo;dvips foo
provides a printed version of C code in foo.c.
There are about 40 recognised languages.
Does not fold long lines however, you have to format yourself.
So with LyX:
- get the package from the nearest CTAN archive
- install it in the LaTeX tree
- make it available (texhash with teTeX)
- preprocess the code for inline inclusion in a latex doc, e.g.
%lgrind -i -lC -o foo.c.tex foo.c
- edit the premable in LyX, e.g.:
\usepackage[lineno5,leftno,norules]{lgrind}
- at the right location in the doc, insert in ERT
\lgrindfile{foo.c.tex}
Should work OK, perhaps a bit sophisticated for simple pieces of code,
in which case a simple Lyx input of the code embedded between
\begin{verbatim}
...
\end{verbatim}
could be sufficient.

Jean-Marc,
You're right when I type ' twice I get a space in LyX (even if there is
already a space! I can add as many spaces as I want, that way!)
I get the funny acute accent when I type '
The desired feature is: ' ' --> '
or ' --> '

Hi Stephen,
I've CC'ed this to the users list since I think it might help other people
to know my approach in solving these types of problems.
What I did was the following:
1) Run reLyX on your file to see if I could make heads or tails of the error
message (which I couldn't).
2) Open up your file in an editor and split it in half by inserting a
\begin{reLyXskip} and \end{reLyXskip} in the file like this:
%%% BEGIN HERE
\begin{reLyXskip}
[]
%%% END HERE
\end{reLyXskip}
I do this in such a way that I respect the logical structure of the
LaTeX document (i.e. don't put an end{reLyXskip} in the middle of an
enumerated list).
3) Run reLyX. This works. Now I've isolated the problem to the first
half of the document.
4) Using a binary search method, by moving the reLyXskip block around
the file, I isolate the problems.
In any case, please apply this patch to your file and run it through reLyX,
then you should be able to fix up the file again in LyX.
Hopefully, when I fix some of the outstanding reLyX bugs, we will have less
of these types of problems, but meanwhile you (and others) can apply this
method to isolate reLyX translation problems.
Best regards,
