As the current reLyX maintainer, send me your class file (and any other
files this file depends on) and I can see if I can figure out what is
going on for you.

Help with Thesis Style
Hello LyX users,
I am considering writing a doctoral dissertation using
LyX. Thanks to kind help from Kayvan Sylvan, I have LyX
installed on my home (Linux) computer. Most people in my
department (Astronomy) use LateX and the school (UCLA) accepts
papers prepared using a specially made documentclass:
\documentclass[PhD,double]{uclathes}
I have an example thesis done in this class to use as a template:
http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~chris/uclathes/lpc.tex
My goal was to convert this into LyX using reLyX, then
work from that. However reLyX gives an odd error:
reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator. Revision date 1999/09/27
Reading LaTeX command syntax
(lpc.tex: Splitting Preamble
Didn't find \begin{document} command! at /usr/bin/../share/lyx/reLyX/MakePreamble.pm
line 52,
chunk 30.
Exited due to fatal Error!
+
the \begin{document} line is clearly there! I've commented out
the offending \usepackage{} commands, so they are not the problem.
I fear that reLyX just doesn't know this document class.
Any suggestions or Ideas? Incidentally, I looked at the CU-Thesis.lyx
template, and while promising, there are enough differences between
CU thesis format and UCLA format that I would like to use the working
LaTeX files (uclathes.cls which can be found at
http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~chris/uclathes/ ) as a starting point.
Thanks much for any advice,
Chris McCarthy

Re: Lyx-1.1.5pre3

The problem is that the document is in German, but some words are in English (american), and there is a bug in the code for handling mixed languages in a table. Now, I presume you didn't want to have English text in the document. To fix this, select the whole text, open the character style popup (alt+l c) select german from the language combox, and press ok. Another question is how did you manage to get the English words? It may have happened if you copy&paste from another document, which had the default language. Is this what happened?

Nested input will work if LyX doesn't use temporary directories
(put "\use_tempdir false" in the lyxrc file).
If LyX uses temporary directories, it creates all doc*.tex files,
but it puts doc1.tex & doc2.tex in one directory
(e.g. /tmp/lyx_tmp11555aaa/lyx_bufrtmp11555aaa), and the doc3.tex in another
directory (e.g. /tmp/lyx_tmp11555aaa/lyx_bufrtmp11555aab).
This is a bug that needs to be fixed.

Lyx-1.1.5pre3
Hi to everybody, yesterday I tried to compile a Lyx-file containing a long table (which has already been presented on the list in parts !). Viewing the table in gv was impossible because of LaTex errors ( five at the end of the table). Now an emergency stop accompained by " job aborted, no legal \end found) without a marked failure-box makes it impossible to me to continue working at the layout of my table. This morning I had to correct same parts of the table, mainly cutting and pasting text between cells. After doing this the " the command dvips -o command will be executed but no postscript (gv) output apears ! The table has been initially created in Lyx-1.1.4 (no patches), JMarc told me that this version produced false code. Maybe this might be the problem, but I've no idea how to deal with at the moment ? If necessary I'll give an example file instead of the original (121,27 k) ? Thomas

export
Hi, it is great at 1.1.15 having HTML-export and cut-and-paste, two features I use everytime. Furthermore I have the desire for PDF-export and having two pages on one (psnup -2 $$Fname | lpr) at the some time, but at custom export, there is only the possibility to have one of them. Could it be possible to give one of them a menu entry so the other one cpould use the custom export? cu, Jens Stolze begin:vcard n:Stolze;Jens x-mozilla-html:FALSE adr:;; version:2.1 email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] x-mozilla-cpt:;0 fn:Jens Stolze end:vcard
