there is no problem for me to run your lyx-file
for dvi-viewing!

what kind of error-message do you get, when
running dvi-view?

go to your directory where the lyx-file is saved
and delete all other latex-files (aux, ...) and
run lyx again. for default lyx saves these files
in /tmp/lyx...

problems with algoithm floats.

2000-08-04 Thread Ralph Boland

I used to have algorithm floats working
but not anymore.

I recently upgraded to lyx-1.1.5fix1 
from lyx 1.0.4 but since lyx 1.0.4 no
longer works with algorithm floats either
I assume the problem is not related
to the upgrade.

One possible difficulty is that I may have changed
some of the latex files in my ~src/texinputs file
and alas I cannot backup to the original state.
In particular the file floatflt.sty may have 
changed though I don't see why that would matter.

I have tried many combinations of having floatflt.sty
and algorithm.sty in and out of ~/src/texinputs  and
included and not included in the latex preamble.

As I understand things these changes wouldn't make a difference
and my experiments seem to indicate that they don't.

But what does matter?  What have I changed to break
algorithm floats.

Included is a directory of files showing a simple example.
It was run using lyx-1.1.5fix1.  The same thing happens 
if I use 1.0.4  even though lyx-1.0.4 used to work.

Any help greatly appreciated.

in latex preamble 

\usepackage{pslatex}
\usepackage[ps2pdf,pdftitle={Your Document
Title},urlcolor=blue,linktocpage,letterpaper,colorlinks=true]{hyperref}

And then use Export->Postscript and from the shell program ps2pdf

or print-menu and output to a ps-file and than ps2pdf . 

this works good for me.

This is a quick and easy solution, BUT it will be much more obvious to
anyone to use a paragraph language forcing symbol than this method, it is
very impractical to use notes they don't convey the reason they are there.
A special symbol (inset) to force the language of the paragraph will be
much better.

Why do you want to have these quotes?
In Hebrew, identical quotes marks are used, and this is exactly what LyX
generates when you use the " key.

More generally, you need the language of the paragraph to be different then
the language of the first character in the paragraph.
The solution: go to the start of the paragraph, 
select the desired paragraph language (using the character style popup, or
in your case with F12), and insert a note inset.



Re: Lyx: Hebrew & quotes

2000-08-04 Thread Jonathan Pennington

I'm trying to format a word like LaTeX and TeX can be written.

How can I find out how to format letters (like that tiny capital A in
LaTeX?) and make it easy to use in LyX? I have Lamports book but
didn't see it. A page number would be fine.

lyx2html

2000-08-04 Thread Steffen Evers

I needed to generate a HTML version of my diploma thesis which I have originally
written with LyX. As the output of latex2html didn't fulfill my requirements, I
have spent some time on sed and shell scripting to improve the results.

Maybe some of you would like to have a look at it and adjust it to your personal
needs.

Or is it possible to put some of it in the LyX source code? E.g. the
redefinition of the url tag should be removed before using latex2html.

The scripts (and the resulting thesis) can be found at:
http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~tron/opensource/node31.html.

When you figured out how to do it could you post it on the list?
Actually, I have also wanted to generate some good pdfs and nothing really

Lyx: Hebrew & quotes

2000-08-04 Thread Yotam Medini


I am a very new Lyx (version 1.1.5fix1) user.
What a wonderful job has been done so far.
Some comments:

Hebrew:
===
* In Hebrew mode, how shoud one insert 
  right '' and left ``  quotation marks -
  without turning into L2R mode?

* When starting a Hebrew paragraph with quotation marks
  Lyx or Lyx user gets confused. There should be an option
  to insert a 'logical R2L'-symbol to control teh paragraph main direction.

General:
===

* Somtimes, just a cursor movement causes reformatting!
  It should not. But even then - it is not undo-able.
