unsupported languages

[Aleksandr Konstantinov]

Hello

 I think LyX is great. But I'm missing few features (I'm using LyX
1.1.4fix3).
 I need to write in language not suppoted by standard babel
(lithuanian). 
 So I added nonstandard language to babel package on my computer.  
Unfortunately LyX has all languages and input encodings compiled in.
Are any plans to add such feature ?  
I made a patch (attached below) to make possible to add languages and
input encodings in configuraton file with commands
/add_language language
/add_input_encoding input_encoding
but not sure if this doesn't violate spirit of LyX in some way ?

Another feature I'm missing is support for multilanguge documents 
(something what would automatically change screen fonts and 
add /selectlanguage into tex file). Are there any plans for such feature
?

  Thanks for any answer

  Sorry for bad english.

Cite quetion

[Angus Leeming]

Is it possible to get Lyx to run citations together?

That is, how can I get the processed output of (e.g. [Dawes92] [Dawes93])* to
look  (e.g. [2,3]) rather than (e.g. [2] [3]) as it is now?

*[Dawes92] is a LyX citation reference, as is [Dawes 93].

Many thanks,
Angus

convert multiplart tex to lyx

[Torsten Mueller]

Hallo Lyxers,

I have one multipart tex document and want to import it into lyx (1.0.3).
When I do so, only the main part is converted, all other parts which
are included with \input stay in tex format.

What can I do about this?

Thanks,
Torsten

Problems with 1.1.5.pre1

[Paul Lussier]

Hi all,

I just upgraded to LyX 1.1.5pre1, and now when I try to view/update either 
postscript or dvi, I get an error from LyX saying that I had 1 error, and I 
should fix it.  At the command line where I started LyX from I get and error:

sh: none: command not found

Any idea what LyX is really complaining about?  1.1.4pre1 works just fine here.

I'm running Linux/RH6.1.

Thanks,

Cut and paste crash with version 1.1.5pre1.rpm

[Shawn Koons]

Having spent the weekend working with lyx, I have come to the conclusion
that cut and paste will not work when the text being cut and pasted
includes hard spaces that have been imported from an ascii file. Every
time I try to  paste text I had just cut or copied that included a hard
space (either in the same line or between paragraphs) the program
crashes. 

I worked around this problem by highlighting the text and
middle-clicking where I wished to place the text. It worked, but is a
definate pain when having to navigate a 50+ page document.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to learn to use gdb yet (I will work
on learning it soon, but have had a hard year of lots of law school
stuff:-| -- then again, I whine.)
I would be willing to post some of the problem text as a file, if that
would help.

I am running Suse 6.4 with Lyx version 1.1.5pre1.rpm which I installed
via YaST. I am also using the document layout 'article'.

Note that in the typographic traditions I have seen this is considered
"bad taste", you either skip or indent not both.

as of typographic tradition, may I ask why lyx insists to use a different
skip for the first paragraph after a section. (in fact no skip for this
first §), I never saw this in books neither in the ViewPostscript nor on

Well, here's a perl script that should do something close (this defines
a "word"
as a group of letters and/or apostrophes or dashes). Uncomment the
"print" line
to see if it leaves the words you want.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Count words in a lyx file
my $total = 0;
while ()
{
chomp;
next if ($. == 1) || m'^\\' || m'^$';
tr/-a-zA-Z' / /cds;
tr/'//;
# print "$_\n"; # uncomment to see it operating
$total += split;
}
print "$total\n";

If you run the spell checker it will tell you how many words 
were checked.  

Alternatively export the file to a latex file.
There is supposed to be a program to strip out all the
latex commands.  Then you can use wc.

I don't know what the program to strip out latex
commands is called but perhaps
you can use that.
If I find out the name I'll let you know.
Hope this helps
