Text with a color

[Yann Collete]

Hello,

Another question about how to color a text:

Is there any possibility to have add tag before and after
a block of text so as to gray this block of text independently
of its style (paragraph, quote, etc).

For all the other possibilities I have found of the lyx users
archive, you have to format your text under ERT. It's so long
and not very user friendly.

Your sincerely,

Yann COLLETTE

Hello,

maybe jurabib is what you need (for law-students and humanities).

 So what about us philosophers (me) and historians (my betrothed) who must use
 this style? Are we out of luck? 
 
 Sorry. I'm just a bit frustrated.

Re: Installing Problems

[Jürgen Spitzmüller]

Thank you for the warning. I will look for a compatible xforms version to 
solve the problem definitely. At the moment, I was just very glad that LyX 
was running at all.

Best Wishes,

Juergen.

  Indeed, that's it! I changed the color depth on my laptop to 16 Bit and
  now Lyx 1.1.5 works.

 Be aware that this is a work around not a fix.  If you open a big picture
 with lots of colours you will still starve lyx of colours and still get
 the segfault on startup.  This indicates the problem is with your xforms
 library version.  Get one that is compiled for your glibc version or just
 when you least expect it and least want it you will have lyx fail again.

 You have been warned.

With LyX 1.1.4fox3, you can use the option -width to set the width of

Problem with xforms

[Andre Juffer]

Hi,

when running the configure script of lyx-1.1.5fix2 on Redhat 7, I
encounter the following message

** Cannot find libforms or libxforms. Please check that the xforms
library
   is correctly installed on your system.

This was despite of the fact that I have used the option
--with-extra-prefix=/usr/local, since the libraries are in
/usr/local/lib, while the forms.h file is in /usr/local/include. The
script did find forms.h, but did not see the libraries in
/usr/local/lib. These files were placed there by `make install' of the
bxform-088.tar.gz distribution I took from
ftp.lyx.org/pub/xforms/linux/elf (should I use the other one,
bxforms-088-glibc.tgz, maybe?). After copying manually the libraries
into the
/usr/lib directory, the script still was not able to locate the
libraries.

I had this problem before with Slackware 7.1, but there the problem
disappaered after copying the libraries to the /usr/lib directory.

Ideas?

Thanks!

Re: Text with a color

Errr...

what's wrong with using the Color option of the Character popup?

If your desired color isn't listed, then someone mention recently that you 
could use the graphix package to refine your own colors in the latex 
preamble. Use, if I recall correctly, is something like myred{ some text, 
blah, blah, blah}. The myred{ and } should be in red (LaTeX mode). Not sure 
about the text in between.

Couple of hopefully useful tips:
- after installing xforms, type (as root)
ldconfig
- set LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to xforms library path, eg
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
before running LyX configure.

Re: Problem with xforms

[Angus Leeming]

Two questions.
1. was the library in usr/local/lib a staticlib, libforms.a, or a shared 
object, libforms.so.
2. If it was a .so lib, then does LD_LIBRARY_PATH have a /usr/local/lib entry?

  The directories searched are configured at another place, /etc/ld.so.conf

Re: Text with a color

[Yann Collete]

Hello again,

I just what to change the background color. For example:

Latex_Tag - switch background color to light gray

\begin{verbatim}

Some text

\end{verbatim}

Latex_Tag_2 - switch background color to "normal"

This "method" will allow me to add a minimum of Latex command in ERT.
It will also allow me to ignore the style of the \begin{} \end{} block
(quote, verbatim, etc...)

Localization problem with self-compiled 1.1.5fix2

[Andre Berger]

I've got two Debian 2.2 potato boxes, one is a PC, the other one a
PPC. I've compiled LyX 1.1.5fix2 on both of them. On the PC I get a
localized german version if I set the necessary environment variables,
on the PPC not (though I now it's supposed to works because the
1.1.4fix3 .deb from Debian suupports localization). So there's
apparantly something missing on the PPC, but what?

Re: Problem with xforms

[Angus Leeming]

This dies in the configure script right?

Your config.log (?.status) should contain a copy of the little test program 
that failed. Look at the end to find it. Then try and make it yourself.

My guess is that the library is found and linked Ok, but that running it dies 
because the header file and library version are incompatible. Is the library 0.89 but 
the header file 0.88?

Hi All,

the problem I had with the xforms has been solved. It seems that I had
an corrupt file or something. I have taken the glibc5 version from the
ftp.lyx.org and that one was ok. That is, configure did not complain.

Re: Newbie request: severe problem with fontenc in LyX with latex2html

On Fri, Dec 01, 2000 at 06:05:37PM +0100, Heiko Schroeder wrote:
 My aim: I want to create a HTML-Output with LyX using "Export HTML".

You don't write what exactly is your problem with the output generated by
latex2html. My guess is that at least one problem is that the URLs entered 
using the URL inset are not translated into hyperlinks.

 My problem: I get the folowing message although I put in the LaTeX preamble 
 \usepackage {html, fontenc, url} and fontenc.sty, html.sty do exist:
You don't need to use include the fontenc and url packages, as LyX
already does this.

 No implementation found for style 'fontenc'
 No implementation found for style 'url'

This is a warning message of latex2html telling that it doesn't know how to
handle these packages (although it can handle the \url command).

 The ???.aux file was not found

Before running latex2html from LyX, you need to create a .aux file by
selecting file-export-dvi. This bug was fixed in lyx 1.1.6

 redefining command \url
 previous meaning of \url will be lost
 
 Unknown commands IfFileExists

LyX generates the following latex code:
\IfFileExists{url.sty}{\usepackage{url}}
  {\newcommand{\url}{\texttt}}
which is used to define a simple \url command if the url.sty package is not
available. However, latex2html doesn't understand the IfFileExists, which
causes it to redefine \url as \texttt, and therefore, it will not create a
hyperlink when the \url command is used.

Solutions to this problem:
1) Check if this bug happens in the latest version of latex2html.
2) Switch to another latex-html converter.
3) Export the lyx file to tex, and change the two lines above 
(\IfFileExists... ) to '\usepackage{url}', and run latex2html manually.
4) Write a script that does (3) or use the lyx2html script from

Recent odd behaviour with ASCII import, protected blanks, and LyX-Code

[Roger Williams]

I've had an odd problem with the LyX-Code paragraph environment for
the past few LyX versions (since 1.1.4, perhaps?).

When I import (or paste) ASCII text into any environment, a sequence
of N spaces preceding text is shown on the screen as N-1 (blue)
protected blanks followed by one ordinary space.  Odd but OK.

If I look at the DVI output for this imported text in a Standard
paragraph environment, the protected blanks remain protected
(i.e. they indent).  However, if I change the paragraph format to
LyX-Code, the screen display still shows protected blanks, but all
protected blanks have been removed in the DVI output.

(If I *type* protected blanks in the LyX-Code environment, they don't
show up as blue protected blanks on the screen, and they work properly
in the DVI output; i.e. they indent.)

I'm currently using LyX 1.1.6pre1 with tetex-latex-1.0.6-11, but this
behaviour has persisted over several previous LyX versions.

The behaviour is puzzling, because it is roughly reversed from the
expected behaviour.  With the source code documentation I'm working on
at the moment, however, it's extremely annoying because I have to
extensively edit all code I import (delete the "protected blanks" and
replace them with ordinary spaces).  Any ideas?

no, i let it in english... but on the alpha OSF40 compiled version it
works... i fix the LANG=fr variable and the menus are in french, but
lots of shortcuts don't work (like maths and insert shortcuts). so i
came back to english.


 Which version of LyX is that? Does compiling
 with --with-included-gettext help? 
lyx 1.1.5fix2 but for "--with-included-gettext", i don't remember, is it
default configure settings

here is my configure command on alpha

./configure --with-included-string --prefix=$HOME/bureau/lyx
--exec-prefix=$HOME
/bureau/lyx --with-extra-lib=$HOME/bureau/xforms/lib
--with-extra-inc=$HOME/bure
au/xforms/include

for the suse6.2 version, i just launched ./configure... perhaps it comes
from that.

Did you try the other variables
 (LC_LANG?)

yes, it doesn't work either...

Text with a color

[Yann Collete]

Hello,

Another question about how to color a text:

Is there any possibility to have add tag before and after
a block of text so as to gray this block of text independently
of its style (paragraph, quote, etc).

For all the other possibilities I have found of the lyx users
archive, you have to format your text under ERT. It's so long
and not very user friendly.

Your sincerely,

Re: Installing Problems

  Indeed, that's it! I changed the color depth on my laptop to 16 Bit and
  now Lyx 1.1.5 works.

 Be aware that this is a work around not a fix.  If you open a big picture
 with lots of colours you will still starve lyx of colours and still get
 the segfault on startup.  This indicates the problem is with your xforms
 library version.  Get one that is compiled for your glibc version or just
 when you least expect it and least want it you will have lyx fail again.

 You have been warned.

Problem with xforms

[Andre Juffer]

Hi,

when running the configure script of lyx-1.1.5fix2 on Redhat 7, I
encounter the following message

** Cannot find libforms or libxforms. Please check that the xforms
library
   is correctly installed on your system.

This was despite of the fact that I have used the option
--with-extra-prefix=/usr/local, since the libraries are in
/usr/local/lib, while the forms.h file is in /usr/local/include. The
script did find forms.h, but did not see the libraries in
/usr/local/lib. These files were placed there by `make install' of the
bxform-088.tar.gz distribution I took from
ftp.lyx.org/pub/xforms/linux/elf (should I use the other one,
bxforms-088-glibc.tgz, maybe?). After copying manually the libraries
into the
/usr/lib directory, the script still was not able to locate the
libraries.

I had this problem before with Slackware 7.1, but there the problem
disappaered after copying the libraries to the /usr/lib directory.

Ideas?

Thanks!

what's wrong with using the Color option of the Character popup?

If your desired color isn't listed, then someone mention recently that you 
could use the graphix package to refine your own colors in the latex

blah, blah, blah}. The myred{ and } should be in red (LaTeX mode). Not sure

Couple of hopefully useful tips:
- after installing xforms, type (as root)
ldconfig
- set LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to xforms library path, eg
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
before running LyX configure.

Re: Problem with xforms

[Angus Leeming]

Two questions.
1. was the library in usr/local/lib a staticlib, libforms.a, or a shared 
object, libforms.so.
2. If it was a .so lib, then does LD_LIBRARY_PATH have a /usr/local/lib entry?

  The prefered way is "ldconfig -v" so that you can see what libraries are

Re: Text with a color

Hello again,

I just what to change the background color. For example:

Latex_Tag - switch background color to light gray

\begin{verbatim}

Some text

\end{verbatim}

Latex_Tag_2 - switch background color to "normal"

This "method" will allow me to add a minimum of Latex command in ERT.
It will also allow me to ignore the style of the \begin{} \end{} block
(quote, verbatim, etc...)

Localization problem with self-compiled 1.1.5fix2

[Andre Berger]

I've got two Debian 2.2 potato boxes, one is a PC, the other one a
PPC. I've compiled LyX 1.1.5fix2 on both of them. On the PC I get a
localized german version if I set the necessary environment variables,
on the PPC not (though I now it's supposed to works because the
1.1.4fix3 .deb from Debian suupports localization). So there's
apparantly something missing on the PPC, but what?

Re: Problem with xforms

[Angus Leeming]

This dies in the configure script right?

Your config.log (?.status) should contain a copy of the little test program 
that failed. Look at the end to find it. Then try and make it yourself.

My guess is that the library is found and linked Ok, but that running it dies 
because the header file and library version are incompatible. Is the library 0.89 but 
the header file 0.88?

Re: Newbie request: severe problem with fontenc in LyX with latex2html

[Dekel Tsur]

On Fri, Dec 01, 2000 at 06:05:37PM +0100, Heiko Schroeder wrote:
 My aim: I want to create a HTML-Output with LyX using "Export HTML".

You don't write what exactly is your problem with the output generated by
latex2html. My guess is that at least one problem is that the URLs entered 
using the URL inset are not translated into hyperlinks.

 My problem: I get the folowing message although I put in the LaTeX preamble 
 \usepackage {html, fontenc, url} and fontenc.sty, html.sty do exist:
You don't need to use include the fontenc and url packages, as LyX
already does this.

 No implementation found for style 'fontenc'
 No implementation found for style 'url'

This is a warning message of latex2html telling that it doesn't know how to
handle these packages (although it can handle the \url command).

 The ???.aux file was not found

Before running latex2html from LyX, you need to create a .aux file by
selecting file-export-dvi. This bug was fixed in lyx 1.1.6

 redefining command \url
 previous meaning of \url will be lost
 
 Unknown commands IfFileExists

LyX generates the following latex code:
\IfFileExists{url.sty}{\usepackage{url}}
  {\newcommand{\url}{\texttt}}
which is used to define a simple \url command if the url.sty package is not
available. However, latex2html doesn't understand the IfFileExists, which
causes it to redefine \url as \texttt, and therefore, it will not create a
hyperlink when the \url command is used.

Solutions to this problem:
1) Check if this bug happens in the latest version of latex2html.
2) Switch to another latex-html converter.
3) Export the lyx file to tex, and change the two lines above 
(\IfFileExists... ) to '\usepackage{url}', and run latex2html manually.
4) Write a script that does (3) or use the lyx2html script from
http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~tron/opensource/node31.html

Recent odd behaviour with ASCII import, protected blanks, and LyX-Code

[Roger Williams]

I've had an odd problem with the LyX-Code paragraph environment for
the past few LyX versions (since 1.1.4, perhaps?).

When I import (or paste) ASCII text into any environment, a sequence
of N spaces preceding text is shown on the screen as N-1 (blue)
protected blanks followed by one ordinary space.  Odd but OK.

If I look at the DVI output for this imported text in a Standard
paragraph environment, the protected blanks remain protected
(i.e. they indent).  However, if I change the paragraph format to
LyX-Code, the screen display still shows protected blanks, but all
protected blanks have been removed in the DVI output.

(If I *type* protected blanks in the LyX-Code environment, they don't
show up as blue protected blanks on the screen, and they work properly
in the DVI output; i.e. they indent.)

I'm currently using LyX 1.1.6pre1 with tetex-latex-1.0.6-11, but this
behaviour has persisted over several previous LyX versions.

The behaviour is puzzling, because it is roughly reversed from the
expected behaviour.  With the source code documentation I'm working on
at the moment, however, it's extremely annoying because I have to
extensively edit all code I import (delete the "protected blanks" and
replace them with ordinary spaces).  Any ideas?

Text with a color

[Yann Collete]

Hello,

Another question about how to color a text:

Is there any possibility to have add tag before and after
a block of text so as to gray this block of text independently
of its style (paragraph, quote, etc).

For all the other possibilities I have found of the lyx users
archive, you have to format your text under ERT. It's so long
and not very user friendly.

Your sincerely,

With LyX 1.1.4fox3, you can use the option -width to set the width of

Problem with xforms

[Andre Juffer]

Hi,

when running the configure script of lyx-1.1.5fix2 on Redhat 7, I
encounter the following message

** Cannot find libforms or libxforms. Please check that the xforms
library
   is correctly installed on your system.

This was despite of the fact that I have used the option
--with-extra-prefix=/usr/local, since the libraries are in
/usr/local/lib, while the forms.h file is in /usr/local/include. The
script did find forms.h, but did not see the libraries in
/usr/local/lib. These files were placed there by `make install' of the
bxform-088.tar.gz distribution I took from
ftp.lyx.org/pub/xforms/linux/elf (should I use the other one,
bxforms-088-glibc.tgz, maybe?). After copying manually the libraries
into the
/usr/lib directory, the script still was not able to locate the
libraries.

I had this problem before with Slackware 7.1, but there the problem
disappaered after copying the libraries to the /usr/lib directory.

Ideas?

Thanks!

Re: Text with a color

Errr...

what's wrong with using the Color option of the Character popup?

If your desired color isn't listed, then someone mention recently that you 
could use the graphix package to refine your own colors in the latex 
preamble. Use, if I recall correctly, is something like myred{ some text, 
blah, blah, blah}. The myred{ and } should be in red (LaTeX mode). Not sure 
about the text in between.

Couple of hopefully useful tips:
- after installing xforms, type (as root)
ldconfig
- set LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to xforms library path, eg
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
before running LyX configure.

Re: Problem with xforms

[Angus Leeming]

Two questions.
1. was the library in usr/local/lib a staticlib, libforms.a, or a shared 
object, libforms.so.
2. If it was a .so lib, then does LD_LIBRARY_PATH have a /usr/local/lib entry?

  Did you run ldconfig after that?
  
  The prefered way is "ldconfig -v" so that you can see what libraries are
found in your system. You need to be root to run this command.

  The directories searched are configured at another place, /etc/ld.so.conf
in my system.

Re: Text with a color

Hello again,

I just what to change the background color. For example:

Latex_Tag -> switch background color to light gray

\begin{verbatim}

Some text

\end{verbatim}

Latex_Tag_2 -> switch background color to "normal"

This "method" will allow me to add a minimum of Latex command in ERT.
It will also allow me to ignore the style of the \begin{} \end{} block
(quote, verbatim, etc...)

Your sincerely,

Localization problem with self-compiled 1.1.5fix2

[Andre Berger]

I've got two Debian 2.2 potato boxes, one is a PC, the other one a
PPC. I've compiled LyX 1.1.5fix2 on both of them. On the PC I get a
localized german version if I set the necessary environment variables,
on the PPC not (though I now it's supposed to works because the
1.1.4fix3 .deb from Debian suupports localization). So there's
apparantly something missing on the PPC, but what?

Both are available.

It has now.

I also have used ldconfig as suggested by others. ldconfig sees all the
libraries.

Tried configure again, but the problem remains.

Re: Problem with xforms

[Angus Leeming]

This dies in the configure script right?

Your config.log (?.status) should contain a copy of the little test program 
that failed. Look at the end to find it. Then try and make it yourself.

My guess is that the library is found and linked Ok, but that running it dies 
because the header file and library version are incompatible. Is the library 0.89 but 
the header file 0.88?

Re: Problem with xforms

[Andre Juffer]

Hi All,

the problem I had with the xforms has been solved. It seems that I had
an corrupt file or something. I have taken the glibc5 version from the
ftp.lyx.org and that one was ok. That is, configure did not complain.

Well, as I said configure did not complain, so that seems ok, but the
compilation failed completely. I have tried 1.1.6 as well, but it
results in the same error (don't worry about the warning message
concerning the modification time, the machine was installed today ...):

The included lyxstring should not be used with RH7.

Re: Newbie request: severe problem with fontenc in LyX with latex2html

You don't write what exactly is your problem with the output generated by
latex2html. My guess is that at least one problem is that the URLs entered 
using the URL inset are not translated into hyperlinks.

You don't need to use include the fontenc and url packages, as LyX

This is a warning message of latex2html telling that it doesn't know how to
handle these packages (although it can handle the \url command).

> The ???.aux file was not found

Before running latex2html from LyX, you need to create a .aux file by
selecting file->export->dvi. This bug was fixed in lyx 1.1.6

> redefining command \url
> previous meaning of \url will be lost
> 
> Unknown commands IfFileExists

LyX generates the following latex code:
\IfFileExists{url.sty}{\usepackage{url}}
  {\newcommand{\url}{\texttt}}
which is used to define a simple \url command if the url.sty package is not
available. However, latex2html doesn't understand the IfFileExists, which
causes it to redefine \url as \texttt, and therefore, it will not create a
hyperlink when the \url command is used.

Solutions to this problem:
1) Check if this bug happens in the latest version of latex2html.
2) Switch to another latex->html converter.
3) Export the lyx file to tex, and change the two lines above 
(\IfFileExists... ) to '\usepackage{url}', and run latex2html manually.
4) Write a script that does (3) or use the lyx2html script from
http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~tron/opensource/node31.html

Recent odd behaviour with ASCII import, protected blanks, and LyX-Code

[Roger Williams]

I've had an odd problem with the LyX-Code paragraph environment for
the past few LyX versions (since 1.1.4, perhaps?).

When I import (or paste) ASCII text into any environment, a sequence
of N spaces preceding text is shown on the screen as N-1 (blue)
protected blanks followed by one ordinary space.  Odd but OK.

If I look at the DVI output for this imported text in a Standard
paragraph environment, the protected blanks remain protected
(i.e. they indent).  However, if I change the paragraph format to
LyX-Code, the screen display still shows protected blanks, but all
protected blanks have been removed in the DVI output.

(If I *type* protected blanks in the LyX-Code environment, they don't
show up as blue protected blanks on the screen, and they work properly
in the DVI output; i.e. they indent.)

I'm currently using LyX 1.1.6pre1 with tetex-latex-1.0.6-11, but this
behaviour has persisted over several previous LyX versions.

The behaviour is puzzling, because it is roughly reversed from the
expected behaviour.  With the source code documentation I'm working on
at the moment, however, it's extremely annoying because I have to
extensively edit all code I import (delete the "protected blanks" and
replace them with ordinary spaces).  Any ideas?

no, i let it in english... but on the alpha OSF40 compiled version it
works... i fix the LANG=fr variable and the menus are in french, but
lots of shortcuts don't work (like maths and insert shortcuts). so i
came back to english.

lyx 1.1.5fix2 but for "--with-included-gettext", i don't remember, is it
default configure settings

here is my configure command on alpha

./configure --with-included-string --prefix=$HOME/bureau/lyx
--exec-prefix=$HOME
/bureau/lyx --with-extra-lib=$HOME/bureau/xforms/lib
--with-extra-inc=$HOME/bure
au/xforms/include

for the suse6.2 version, i just launched ./configure... perhaps it comes
from that.

Did you try the other variables

yes, it doesn't work either...
