And is there a symbol like HAVE_XOPENIM in src/config.h? I remember it was broken in some lyx 1.1.x versions. In this case, adding #define HAVE_XOPENIM at the beginning of src/lyxlookup.C and recompiling should help. JMarc

Is that a matter of finding or not some PS files? I think you're right: all things work perfectly when opening this file in the directory where the belonging PS-files are (I included some PS-Files as pictures in this LyX-document). This would explain the behaviour of LyX, wouldn't it? But the thing I still don't understand is why the X server crashes and why I am logged off at the text consoles... > > Stephan> Some technical information: it's a SuSe Linux 6.2, LyX 1.1.4 > Stephan> (3rd Februay 2000; I know it's an unstable version :-).

Thesis: All Done!!!
Yesterday I discuss my degree thesis in physics: "local electrical characterization of human atrium during fibrillation" I'd like to thanks all the LyX community for every suggestions given to me during last six months. My work was possible only with your suggestions. I'd like to thank in particular Jurgen Vigna, Jean-Marc Lasgouttes and Herbert Voss: they followed (and solved!) carefully and quickly all my questions, on the list and personally. The mail-help given by this community is wonderful and better than every kind off "commercial" assistance: this makes LyX better than it is (and it's wonderful just alone). From now on I hope to help other new LyX user to increase the LyX community. I teach LyX basics to other 4 people during this months, and I think that in this way we can reach 1 billion of LyX users in less then 4 years... :-> You can download (only for fun, *publications in progress*) my thesis at http://www.science.unitn.it/~olivetti/tesi/cover.ps.gz (the cover) http://www.science.unitn.it/~olivetti/tesi/tutto.ps.gz (the work, 118pag.) It's in italian (I'm sorry...) and you can find Credits at the end under chapter "Ringraziamenti" (that's credits in italian papers). See you soon, Emanuele
TOC with un-numbered sections?
Hi all, Is there a way to use a TOC with un-numbered section headings? Thanks, -- Seeya, Paul Doing something stupid always costs less (up front) than doing something intelligent. A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking. If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!
Re: TOC with un-numbered sections?
Yep. I just discovered this one yesterday: Under Layout -> Document change "Section Number Depth" to "-1" now, instead of using Section* in your paper, use Section. The headings won't be numbered, but they'll show up in the TOC.

Introduction, PDF and docbook questions
Hello all, I've just discovered lyx and joined the list. I like lyx, but have no particular interest in tex. I do need to produce SGML, HTML and PDF (at least) documentation. I had been using troff and the -me macro package, just because of familiarity (I actually ran a commercial database typesetting business in the early '80's using troff), but now have to share docs with other people. It's easier to point them to lyx. Also, I hadn't figured out yet how to do PDF bookmarks in that environment. But I'm having a couple of problems: (1) I've tried the linuxdoc and docbook templates, but have been unable to successfully include pictures. I can include them and see them on the screen, but they're absent in the "View DVI" or "View PS". That is, I go: File/New from Template name file choose template "docbook_template.lyx" insert figure (for instance, platypus clipart) at end view DVI Also, I get a bunch of error output to the console (see attached file lyx.log). I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but don't know what. I can see the figures if I start with just a new document (not a docbook or linuxdoc). (2) Also, I'd like to produce PDF output, with bookmarks automatically produced from my links and headings. How do I do this? I have tetex, sgmltools, and the 1.14 (patch 2) version of Lyx running on Redhat Linux 6.1 (2.3.42 kernel).

Difference in subscripts positions is evident. Maybe is due to my current
linux/debian setup:
% llpg tetex
ii tetex-base 1.0-6 basic teTeX library files
ii tetex-bin 1.0.6-1.1 teTeX binary files
ii tetex-dev 0.9-5 kpathsea.a and include files for teTeX
ii tetex-doc 1.0-6 teTeX documentation
ii tetex-extra 1.0-6 extra teTeX library files
ii tetex-lib 1.0.6-1 shared libkpathsea for teTeX
ii tetex-nonfree 1.0-5 non-free teTeX library files
here enclosed is a test lyx file together with its postscript conversion
your comments will be welcome
thank you

Maybe you must to use \mathrm{} instead \textrm{} in math mode ...

Anyone have a copy of the old LyX FAQ?
Hello all, I'd like to drop a copy of version 0.0 of the new FAQ in CVS sometime soon (yes, I really am going to do this, though v0.0 will be little more than an outline). I'd like to get my hands on a copy of the old FAQ first to steal as much from it as I can, but I haven't been able to access Paul Evans' site nor contact him via e-mail during the last week. Does anyone have a copy of the old FAQ that they could forward to me? Thanks. Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Make sure you've installed a current Ghostscript release (should be 5.50
or later)
Include the follwoing line in your LaTeX preamble (via Layout -> LaTeX
preamble):
\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={what
you want},linktocpage,colorlinks=true]{hyperref} <== one line
Export your file as a PS-file (File -> export -> as postscript)
Use the "ps2pdf"-tool to create a pdf-file, for example:
ps2pdf foo.ps foo.pdf
Enjoy your pdf-file (:-)
Regards,
Stephan

Odd this. I have been emailing Mike both with the text and to say that my site is www.paulwork.demon.co.uk I think i may have a mail problem!
