Re: How can I fax with 1.1.6pre2

2000-12-16 Thread Ronald Florence

I haven't tried Lyx-1.1.6pre2, but for previous versions of LyX,
including 1.1.5fix2, tkhylafax (at least version 3.2 or later) works
very well with the following in lyxrc:

   \fax_program "tkhylafax -file $$FName"

Hylafax is a superb fax daemon for a networked setup, and far more
reliable and versatile than any other fax program I've tried.

The fax support in 1.1.6 is only for GUI fax programs.
(it is equivalent to \fax_program in 1.1.5), but the internal fax dialog
was removed, so there is no support for command line fax programs.

You can choose which GUI fax program to use by putting
\converter ps fax "yourfaxprogram $$i" ""
in lyxrc (or preferences).
The GUI fax program is any program that accept a postscript file as an
argument, open a dialog for choosing phone number (from an address book),
and then runs the command line fax program as with the appropriate arguments.
I don't know if there such programs other than ksendfax (maybe tkhylafax
which only works with hylafax), but it should be very easy to write such a
program in {tcl,python,perl}/tk.
Any volunteers ?

The problem is the quotes in the lyx-code paragraph.
To fix this problem, edit the file LYXLIBDIR/layouts/lyxmacros.inc
replacing the line
  \verbatim@font}%
by
  \normalfont\ttfamily}%

The above fix has been applied to 1.1.6, which explains why you didn't have
problems.

Yes, I guess it would work. The problem is that the input@path is not
something I put in the document, but it's generated by LyX. That's why
I said it's a bug in Lyx.

try

\def\input@path{/home/ethology/common/Projects/Learning\ v\ Genetic/}

bug with space in dir name

2000-12-16 Thread Stefano Ghirlanda

Hi,
I do not know wheter this is a bug in LyX or LaTeX/TeX, but is seems
that documents whose full path contains spaces cannot be typeset.
For instance I see this in the temporary file in the /tmp/lyx_blabla
directory: 

\def\input@path{{/home/ethology/common/Projects/Learning v Genetic//}}

Which produces a "missing \begin{docment} error". If I take away
spaces from the dir name, the error disappears.
