It is a problem with the handling of accents in mathed. We'll have to

ANNOUNCE: LyX 1.1.5
Dear LyX users, It is my pleasure to announce the release of LyX 1.1.5. This release sports large internal changes, new features and increased stability, all in one package! Lots of internal code has been rewritten, fixed, changed and added. We are taking the C++ Standard Library in greater use for each day, this will in most cases make the code clearer and easier to maintain and expand. We are also gearing up for the merge of the gui-indep branch, expect this (but not the new gui's) in 1.1.6. You can get it at: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.1.5.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.5.tar.gz As usual, RPMs for Redhat Linux/i386 will be available shortly from ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/ Have fun! JMarc User-visible changes: - Paste to other programs (like emacs or xterm). Note: text only. - New TOC menu item for fast access to the table of contents. - New Refs menu item for quick insertion of cross-references. - multilingual documents (preliminary support) - Right-to-Left support for Hebrew and Arabic, this is a first attempt only and is likely to improve in future versions. - Per-paragraph spacing, currently only settable from the command-line/window: paragraph-spacing (default,single,onehalf,double,other) [float] - New visual feedback for environment depth of paragraphs (also the ! in the margin for margin notes has been removed). - End-of-proof box, for layouts where it makes sense. - labels are now editable (not in equations, though). - Much faster spellchecking (50x faster!). - The parsing of the LaTex log has improved flagging more errors that earlier versions of LyX did not see at all. So if you suddenly have errors in documents that used to have none, this might be the casue. (And you probably had the error always.) - Better definition for LyXList style. - hollywood.layout and broadway.layout have improved. New classes LLNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science), svjog (Journal of Geodesy) - support for varioref and pretty ref (preliminary support) - A couple of changes to the LyX format, so that files written with 1.1.5 will not be parsed correctly by older LyX versions if protected spaces or the new per-paragraph spacing are used. Also the RtL support is of course not supported in older versions. - Removed support for XForms older than 0.88. - Some command-line options and X resources are not supported anymore (The color ones, and -mono -fastselection, -reverse) - New command-line options '-userdir' which so that you can choose to use another dir than .lyx for user configurations. (Or have many.) - new lyxrc variables: \show_banner [true|false] to remove the banner screen, \backupdir_path to tell where the backup files created by lyx should be stored, and \override_x_deadkeys to tell whether lyx should provide its own accent keys handling (default is true).

Graphics/Figures in LyX, Call for Features
Hello, I'd like to solicit requests and ideas regarding the "insert Figure" option that is present in LyX, as there is a need to reimplement it, I thought it would be a good idea if peoples on the list would send me the list of their needs and wants so I can collect and include them in my work. Current ideas that I read about (and need myself) is the auto-generation of EPS files from other formats (gif, fig, jpeg, tiff are the basic ones I guess, and the easiest to implement). Regarding that I have a question, would you require the conversion to be a part of LyX, or maybe using external programs will be ok, ImageMagick for example is freely available and can convert almost anything to EPS, would requiring ImageMagick (or other suitable tools) for this feature be too much?

Actually my original intent was to know if an external program solution would be fine or an internal routine would be required. The first I prefer since it goes in the unix tradition and there are better (and ready) programs to do that, the later might be better since LyX is working also on windows machine where I do not know if the external program solution is applicable. Since so far no-one indicated an internal solution would be better an external solution will be the prefered way, and ofcourse I'll not limit myself to ImageMagick and allow configuration of conversion by the user, and possibly by the configurator. -- Baruch Even http://techst02.technion.ac.il/~sbaruch/ (My Site) http://rpghost.com/jindor/ (My brothers ADD site) " Learn to laugh ... it's the path to true love!

Re: Problem with Bibtex in compound documents
Ian Sorry if this is an FAQ.. I can't seem to get LyX to generate a Ian bibliography from a top-level compound document. The top-level Ian document includes a series of other lyx files, all having the Ian document style book, plus a bibliography construct at the end. Ian When I generate dvi/ps, I get no diagnostic output from BibTex at Ian all, and no Bibliography section is included. Ian If, however, I include a bibliography construct in any individual Ian document, I get the diagnostic output and a bibliography section. Try again with the upcoming 1.1.5 version. There have been fixes in this respect. Thanks.. seems to be working in several of the 1.1.5preX versions, including 1.1.5pre3. Ian
1) wide figures/amsart 2) adding commands to lyxrc
I am submitting a paper to the C.C.C.G. conference. I am satisfying the conferences document format requirements but using amsart document layout with some modifications. I need to use the amsart document layout because I need some of the amsfonts and things like theorems. Unfortunately I must submit my document with two columbs but amsart layout refuses to allow me use wide figures which I need for my paper. This is a difficulty with the latex class amsart and not with lyx. First question: 1) What is the simplest way to use wide figures in combination with amsart.layout? Should I instead try to build a new document class with all the features I need from the amsart document class. The conference requests that I use the command "dvips -m -D 1200 -o file.ps file.dvi " to build my postscript file. Of course I can do this by first exporting my lyx file to a latex file. This works but it clumsy. There must be command that I can add to the lyxrc file that will have this be done automatically. Second question: What command do I add to the lyxrc file to do this? I am using lyx 1.0.4 and have read the documentation. Should I pick up a a version of the documentation for a newer version of lyx or is the lyx 1.0.4 documentation the best for using lyx 1.0.4? I assume the next stable version of lyx will be 1.2. When it is released I hope to convince our sysadmin guy to install a new version of lyx. Any idea when lyx 1.2 might be released?

Graphics/Figures in LyX, Call for Features
Great, finally someone to pick this up. If I were you I'd also ask the developers, I think they have very detailed ideas of how the whole thing should be dealt with already. As far as I understand, figures should _not_ be converted into eps since this is entirely unnecessary. LaTeX can handle figures in jpeg and png for example just fine assumed that you can use the graphicx package. To represent the figure on the screen you need to convert it to a bitmap sooner or later and that's what ghostscript is doing now. Again, all this isn't really necessary but as it looks like the current code needs a fundamental rewrite. Roland
Re: Graphics/Figures in LyX, Call for Features
In my opinion, the insert figure should support images that could be directly used by pdflatex. pdflatex and eps figures seems to be a bad mix. Is a conversion to eps files at the moment the best strategy? Probably yes in the short run? Roland Krause wrote: Great, finally someone to pick this up.

Bor-Lin \overline{\dot{a}b}. I got replies saying 1.1.4 doesn't have
Bor-Lin this problem. So I installed 1.1.4. But I still have this
Bor-Lin problem.
It is a problem with the handling of accents in mathed. We'll have to
see how the upcoming new mathed behaves, but I suspect the fix will be
difficult. The fix is probably to use a macro named for example \Dot
which encapsulate \dot.

ANNOUNCE: LyX 1.1.5
Dear LyX users, It is my pleasure to announce the release of LyX 1.1.5. This release sports large internal changes, new features and increased stability, all in one package! Lots of internal code has been rewritten, fixed, changed and added. We are taking the C++ Standard Library in greater use for each day, this will in most cases make the code clearer and easier to maintain and expand. We are also gearing up for the merge of the gui-indep branch, expect this (but not the new gui's) in 1.1.6. You can get it at: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.1.5.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.5.tar.gz As usual, RPMs for Redhat Linux/i386 will be available shortly from ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/ Have fun! JMarc User-visible changes: - Paste to other programs (like emacs or xterm). Note: text only. - New TOC menu item for fast access to the table of contents. - New Refs menu item for quick insertion of cross-references. - multilingual documents (preliminary support) - Right-to-Left support for Hebrew and Arabic, this is a first attempt only and is likely to improve in future versions. - Per-paragraph spacing, currently only settable from the command-line/window: paragraph-spacing (default,single,onehalf,double,other) [float] - New visual feedback for environment depth of paragraphs (also the ! in the margin for margin notes has been removed). - End-of-proof box, for layouts where it makes sense. - labels are now editable (not in equations, though). - Much faster spellchecking (50x faster!). - The parsing of the LaTex log has improved flagging more errors that earlier versions of LyX did not see at all. So if you suddenly have errors in documents that used to have none, this might be the casue. (And you probably had the error always.) - Better definition for LyXList style. - hollywood.layout and broadway.layout have improved. New classes LLNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science), svjog (Journal of Geodesy) - support for varioref and pretty ref (preliminary support) - A couple of changes to the LyX format, so that files written with 1.1.5 will not be parsed correctly by older LyX versions if protected spaces or the new per-paragraph spacing are used. Also the RtL support is of course not supported in older versions. - Removed support for XForms older than 0.88. - Some command-line options and X resources are not supported anymore (The color ones, and -mono -fastselection, -reverse) - New command-line options '-userdir' which so that you can choose to use another dir than .lyx for user configurations. (Or have many.) - new lyxrc variables: \show_banner [true|false] to remove the banner screen, \backupdir_path to tell where the backup files created by lyx should be stored, and \override_x_deadkeys to tell whether lyx should provide its own accent keys handling (default is true).
problem with table of contents and document language.
I get some errors trying to view in dvi a document -article- in spanish.
If I change the language to english the problem disappears. The problem
happens after introducing a table of contents. The error appears before
the title of the article.
the error message is:
Improper alphabetic constant.
...NO VERTE JES\'US\char '\@umlaut {} }{3}
A one-character control sequence belongs after a ' mark.
So I'm essentially inserting
\0 here.
I am using the final lyx-1.1.5

Graphics/Figures in LyX, Call for Features
Hello, I'd like to solicit requests and ideas regarding the "insert Figure" option that is present in LyX, as there is a need to reimplement it, I thought it would be a good idea if peoples on the list would send me the list of their needs and wants so I can collect and include them in my work. Current ideas that I read about (and need myself) is the auto-generation of EPS files from other formats (gif, fig, jpeg, tiff are the basic ones I guess, and the easiest to implement). Regarding that I have a question, would you require the conversion to be a part of LyX, or maybe using external programs will be ok, ImageMagick for example is freely available and can convert almost anything to EPS, would requiring ImageMagick (or other suitable tools) for this feature be too much? What else would you need from the Figure inclusion that you do not get currently? -- Baruch Even http://techst02.technion.ac.il/~sbaruch/ (My Site) http://rpghost.com/jindor/ (My brothers ADD site) " Learn to laugh ... it's the path to true love!

The first I prefer since it goes in the unix tradition and there are better (and ready) programs to do that, the later might be better since LyX is working also on windows machine where I do not know if the external program solution is applicable. Since so far no-one indicated an internal solution would be better an external solution will be the prefered way, and ofcourse I'll not limit myself to ImageMagick and allow configuration of conversion by the user, and possibly by the configurator. -- Baruch Even http://techst02.technion.ac.il/~sbaruch/ (My Site) http://rpghost.com/jindor/ (My brothers ADD site) " Learn to laugh ... it's the path to true love!

Re: Problem with Bibtex in compound documents
Ian Sorry if this is an FAQ.. I can't seem to get LyX to generate a Ian bibliography from a top-level compound document. The top-level Ian document includes a series of other lyx files, all having the Ian document style book, plus a bibliography construct at the end. Ian When I generate dvi/ps, I get no diagnostic output from BibTex at Ian all, and no Bibliography section is included. Ian If, however, I include a bibliography construct in any individual Ian document, I get the diagnostic output and a bibliography section. Try again with the upcoming 1.1.5 version. There have been fixes in this respect. Thanks.. seems to be working in several of the 1.1.5preX versions, including 1.1.5pre3. Ian
1) wide figures/amsart 2) adding commands to lyxrc
I am submitting a paper to the C.C.C.G. conference. I am satisfying the conferences document format requirements but using amsart document layout with some modifications. I need to use the amsart document layout because I need some of the amsfonts and things like theorems. Unfortunately I must submit my document with two columbs but amsart layout refuses to allow me use wide figures which I need for my paper. This is a difficulty with the latex class amsart and not with lyx. First question: 1) What is the simplest way to use wide figures in combination with amsart.layout? Should I instead try to build a new document class with all the features I need from the amsart document class. The conference requests that I use the command "dvips -m -D 1200 -o file.ps file.dvi " to build my postscript file. Of course I can do this by first exporting my lyx file to a latex file. This works but it clumsy. There must be command that I can add to the lyxrc file that will have this be done automatically. Second question: What command do I add to the lyxrc file to do this? I am using lyx 1.0.4 and have read the documentation. Should I pick up a a version of the documentation for a newer version of lyx or is the lyx 1.0.4 documentation the best for using lyx 1.0.4? I assume the next stable version of lyx will be 1.2. When it is released I hope to convince our sysadmin guy to install a new version of lyx. Any idea when lyx 1.2 might be released? Thanks Ralph Boland
Graphics/Figures in LyX, Call for Features
Great, finally someone to pick this up. If I were you I'd also ask the developers, I think they have very detailed ideas of how the whole thing should be dealt with already. As far as I understand, figures should _not_ be converted into eps since this is entirely unnecessary. LaTeX can handle figures in jpeg and png for example just fine assumed that you can use the graphicx package. To represent the figure on the screen you need to convert it to a bitmap sooner or later and that's what ghostscript is doing now. Again, all this isn't really necessary but as it looks like the current code needs a fundamental rewrite. Roland
Re: Graphics/Figures in LyX, Call for Features
In my opinion, the insert figure should support images that could be directly used by pdflatex. pdflatex and eps figures seems to be a bad mix. Is a conversion to eps files at the moment the best strategy? Probably yes in the short run? Roland Krause wrote: Great, finally someone to pick this up.

ANNOUNCE: LyX 1.1.5
Dear LyX users, It is my pleasure to announce the release of LyX 1.1.5. This release sports large internal changes, new features and increased stability, all in one package! Lots of internal code has been rewritten, fixed, changed and added. We are taking the C++ Standard Library in greater use for each day, this will in most cases make the code clearer and easier to maintain and expand. We are also gearing up for the merge of the gui-indep branch, expect this (but not the new gui's) in 1.1.6. You can get it at: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.1.5.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.5.tar.gz As usual, RPMs for Redhat Linux/i386 will be available shortly from ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/ Have fun! JMarc User-visible changes: - Paste to other programs (like emacs or xterm). Note: text only. - New TOC menu item for fast access to the table of contents. - New Refs menu item for quick insertion of cross-references. - multilingual documents (preliminary support) - Right-to-Left support for Hebrew and Arabic, this is a first attempt only and is likely to improve in future versions. - Per-paragraph spacing, currently only settable from the command-line/window: paragraph-spacing (default,single,onehalf,double,other) [float] - New visual feedback for environment depth of paragraphs (also the ! in the margin for margin notes has been removed). - End-of-proof box, for layouts where it makes sense. - labels are now editable (not in equations, though). - Much faster spellchecking (50x faster!). - The parsing of the LaTex log has improved flagging more errors that earlier versions of LyX did not see at all. So if you suddenly have errors in documents that used to have none, this might be the casue. (And you probably had the error always.) - Better definition for LyXList style. - hollywood.layout and broadway.layout have improved. New classes LLNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science), svjog (Journal of Geodesy) - support for varioref and pretty ref (preliminary support) - A couple of changes to the LyX format, so that files written with 1.1.5 will not be parsed correctly by older LyX versions if protected spaces or the new per-paragraph spacing are used. Also the RtL support is of course not supported in older versions. - Removed support for XForms older than 0.88. - Some command-line options and X resources are not supported anymore (The color ones, and -mono -fastselection, -reverse) - New command-line options '-userdir' which so that you can choose to use another dir than .lyx for user configurations. (Or have many.) - new lyxrc variables: \show_banner [true|false] to remove the banner screen, \backupdir_path to tell where the backup files created by lyx should be stored, and \override_x_deadkeys to tell whether lyx should provide its own accent keys handling (default is true).
problem with table of contents and document language.
I get some errors trying to view in dvi a document -article- in spanish.
If I change the language to english the problem disappears. The problem
happens after introducing a table of contents. The error appears before
the title of the article.
the error message is:
Improper alphabetic constant.
...NO VERTE JES\'US\char '\@umlaut {} }{3}
A one-character control sequence belongs after a ' mark.
So I'm essentially inserting
\0 here.
I am using the final lyx-1.1.5

This is probably a problem with spanish.sty redefining ~ (protected
space) to an accent macro. I do not know what correct fix we could
use...
Could you try adding
\noextrasspanish
in your LaTeX preamble?

Graphics/Figures in LyX, Call for Features
Hello, I'd like to solicit requests and ideas regarding the "insert Figure" option that is present in LyX, as there is a need to reimplement it, I thought it would be a good idea if peoples on the list would send me the list of their needs and wants so I can collect and include them in my work. Current ideas that I read about (and need myself) is the auto-generation of EPS files from other formats (gif, fig, jpeg, tiff are the basic ones I guess, and the easiest to implement). Regarding that I have a question, would you require the conversion to be a part of LyX, or maybe using external programs will be ok, ImageMagick for example is freely available and can convert almost anything to EPS, would requiring ImageMagick (or other suitable tools) for this feature be too much? What else would you need from the Figure inclusion that you do not get currently? -- Baruch Even http://techst02.technion.ac.il/~sbaruch/ (My Site) http://rpghost.com/jindor/ (My brothers AD site) " Learn to laugh ... it's the path to true love!

I think it is Ok. Personally i use ImageMagic to convert my tiff images to eps and import them to lyx without any problems. I think that automate this whitout duplicate files (only temporal to reuse during a session) would be very fine.

I would prefer if the configuration of LyX searched out and used the available image conversion tool on the system (ImageMagick, xv, gimp tools, etc.) the way configuration currently does for latex -> html, Postscript viewers, and other external tools. Nothing wrong with ImageMagick but it is not used on some systems which may have perfectly suitable alternate tools available. -- Ronald Florence http://members.home.net/18james
