Re: Literate programming in lyx
Thank you for your reply. The problem has been resolved. I was not aware of the difference between deadtilde and asciitilde. Deadtilde plus space create an asciitilde when you are in a text-based application. However, they are not equivalent in LyX. Prior to fixing my Xmodmap there was no way to type an asciitilde in Lyx. (now there is no way to type a deadtilde, I guess). I think, I haven't yet understood how LyX is intended to work with noweb. I work with LyX 1.1.5 under AIX. Formatting the documentation works pretty well. I use file > export >custom (postscript to "ps2pdf '$$FName'; acroread '$$FName'.pdf"). There are differences between the output under AIX and Linux, e.g. under AIX the identifier instances in code chunks are not highlighted. But this is a ps2pdf or hyperref issue. I'm still fighting with the build process, neet to try "listerrors". Are you aware of any similar tool for perl or python scripts? My personal wish list of noweb support features is - Code chunk inset or paragraph layout with - no need to type C-Return at line ends - chunk headers acting as labels - code reference can be done using the Refs menu (offering the code chunks already defined) - configurable syntax highlighting (send to emacs and get back the colored text?) - Goto line in file: Choose a root file and a line number, point the cursor to where the line is defined in lyx (semi-automatic and quite general error tracking). The script should scan the tangled (with line number information) file, find the line number in the noweb source and pipe the appropriate server-goto-file-row command to lyx. I would need help to do that. Greets, Martin Kraska "Kayvan A.

Greets, Martin Kraska I use the LyX Literate Programming facilities all the time and I don't have this problem. Can you provide an example LyX file? Which version of LyX are you using? ---Kayvan -- Kayvan A.

illegal unit of measurement
I am just in the process of upgrading from 1.0.4 (!) to 1.1.5fix1. One of my documents (and the first I have tried with it, although a subsequent masters thesis which I tried seems to be fine) is a newsletter, and this is kicking up problems. Specifically, the errors tell me about an illegal unit of measure (pt inserted) at \maketitle. I have not a clue what it is talking about -- the file works fine in 1.0.4. The document is large, contains lots of images and tables, and uses a number of packages (multicol, sectsty, floatflt, fancybox, niceframe and a few others). Can anyone shed any light on where I might start looking? Thanks Tony

Bug in pretty ref
Hello,
I'am using lyx.1.1.5 with Linux, and I have a bug when I want to insert,
in cross reference, pretty ref.
I can insert it, but when I try to compile, lyx say : error, and I have
this message :
"paragraph ended before \@prettyref was complete. I suspect you'have
forgotten a '}'."
On the tex source document, I have this :
blabla \prettyref{r=E9f=E9rence} blabla
What's wrong ?

make the first \prettyref-statement to normal text (not in texmode)
and run latex again. what's with the error message? if it's the
same, give an example-file?

newbie question
hi,
even though i've been doing some decent things on lyx, i've been failing in
my configuring of one thing, at the most basic level. i need to be nudged
in the right direction: i can't get C-{arrows} to skip words or paragraphs.
they do nothing. (i am using cua settings.) C-S-{arrows} work perfectly!
S-{arrows} do too. i know this is not a problem i have in configuring lyx,
since in netscape the same is true. i run RH6.2(2.2.14-5.0) i686. where
might i find the file to modify? i've configured a zillion things
correctly, but this one stumps me and is driving me insanse!
thanks,
peter w
