Re: wish for LyX 1.2
I feel this is a bit stupid discussion, but I hope you don't get offended even if I disagree :-) On 23 Jan 2001, Lars Gullik Bjnnes wrote: Bitmap fontes created for the resoluton and size that they are view at are better than a scaled outline font. I suppose you mean the bitmap fonts created by dvips (?) for postscript files. In that case, you are not quite right, because they _are_ outline fonts, they are just already rasterized. The question is, whether the conversion from vector form to rasterized (bitmap) form should be done by document publisher (dvips) or the reader (gv/acroread/ps printer). And since outline fonts seem to actually work faster than pre-rasterized fonts, it looks definitely like the fonts should be rasterized by the reader, since only he may know the resolution of the output device. So all this depends on _what_ you are going to use the document for, hardcopy or screen viewing. Hopefully spreading the document freely--everyone may either print or view it, and it can not be known in advance. It actually makes some sense that LyX would make TeX and dvips to produce Postscript/PDF files with outline fonts when possible, by default, since Postcript/PDF is more common. How many PDF files you have seen on the web lately? How many DVI files? How many Postscript printers have you seen? How many DVI printers?

LyX should create a TeX file that does contain the \begin{document}
command. There are some possible reasons for your problem:
- TeX gets wrong file and not the one produced by LyX.
- The file has the command, but nevertheless TeX complains.
- LyX doesn't produce correct TeX file.
Let's start eliminating the possibilities. Try running LyX and select
File/Export/LaTeX for some document check out if the file does have the
\begin{document} line.
Check out that you have free space both in /tmp and in your work
directory, and permissions to create files on them.
Maybe your compiler failed miserably, but I don't quite believe that.

Tuukka I think also that it might not typeset the ps fonts as Tuukka carefully as TeX typesets cm fonts, but you'd better ask Tuukka someone else. The problem is that designing a math font is a very difficult task. You have to make sure, for example, that any character used as a subscript of another one looks good and does not overlap, and a lot of other things... Currently, when using times as main font, you have the following choices for math fonts: - mathtimes fonts: the best choice , but you have to pay for them - mathptm, mathptmx packages: use a clunky virtual math font based on times. It is not very nice and moreover still uses normal computer modern for some glyphs (thus has the problems you describe) - normal computer modern: looks too thin for times - euler fonts: a bit bolder, but not everybody likes them. - the recently released txfonts: probably a good choice, but unfortunately they fail to print on some printers (bug in the ps fonts). If however your problem is only to get small and readable pdf files, a good solution is to use the Postscript Type1 version of the computer modern fonts. Usually you can do that by doing dvips -Pps myfile.dvi -o myfile.ps ps2pdf myfile.ps [of course there are some magic flags to add here and there to make this work...] This only works if you are using the older OT1 encoding. For people using the newer T1 encoding, you should either - buy postscript version of the T1 ec fonts - use the ae.sty package (almost ec), which will emulate the T1 ec fonts with postscript OT1 cm fonts. Then if you want french quotes, you will need the aeguill.sty package too. So, as you can see, things are not _very_ easy. JMarc
Link failed for LyX on SPARC
Dear LyX users, I am a longtime (0.7.8) LyX user and I am pretty used to LyX compilation under the Intel architecture. I have recently installed a Sparcstation 2 (64 M Ram) with Debian 2.2, I have installed the XForms 0.89 (which work pretty well with my own programs) and wanted to recompile LyX. Apart from the HUGE amount of space required by the default debug-enabled switch, my final link fails. 1. My first attempt at linking was with the default object files _not_ stripped. Linking fails with the "memory exhausted" message (I said I have 64 M + 32 swap--ld was over 50 M RESIDENT image size before giving up...) 2. then I tried to find strip all the "*.o" files, than issuing "make" again.

Re: double lines at the top and bottom of tables?
A quick workaround would be to add an additional (zeroth) row on the top of the table, and to enable the bottom line of the cells in this row only. Another solution is to use the plain LaTeX table command "\hline" inside of a table in LyX. You have to figure out, where to place this command exactly. As far as I remember, you have to write it prior to the text in your first table cell. Happy LyXing Dirk "Anna H.Pryor" schrieb: Is it possible to put double lines at the top and bottom of tables?

Include broken?
I guess I found a bug in LyX 1.1.6: You cannot include files any more.
Obviously, LyX translates the include file command to \Include{file}
instead of \include{file}. This is what LaTeX complains about.
The problem is easily reproducible. Create a LyX file, include another
LyX file via Insert-Include File.
As a workaround you need to include
\newcommand{\Include}[1]{\include{#1}} in the preamble until this is
fixed.

Great, it is in 1.1.6! Now what LyX needs is:
- A checkbox somewhere in the menus to turn comments on and off.
- Automatically inserting \usepackage{comment} in the document
when needed.
Now I just need to find some time to code this :-)

This is indeed a bug. It has already been fixed in cvs, and will be

I guess I found a bug in LyX 1.1.6: You cannot include files any more.
Obviously, LyX translates the include file command to \Include{file}
instead of \include{file}. This is what LaTeX complains about.
The problem is easily reproducible. Create a LyX file, include another
LyX file via Insert-Include File.
As a workaround you need to include
\newcommand{\Include}[1]{\include{#1}} in the preamble until this is
fixed.

Re: wish for LyX 1.2
Bitmap fontes created for the resoluton and size that they are view at are better than a scaled outline font. I suppose you mean the bitmap fonts created by dvips (?) for postscript files. In that case, you are not quite right, because they _are_ outline fonts, they are just already rasterized. The question is, whether the conversion from vector form to rasterized (bitmap) form should be done by document publisher (dvips) or the reader (gv/acroread/ps printer). And since outline fonts seem to actually work faster than pre-rasterized fonts, it looks definitely like the fonts should be rasterized by the reader, since only he may know the resolution of the output device. It actually makes some sense that LyX would make TeX and dvips to produce Postscript/PDF files with outline fonts when possible, by default, since Postcript/PDF is more common. Thank you for these clear words. Is this now consensus? How many PDF files you have seen on the web lately? How many DVI files? How many Postscript printers have you seen? How many DVI printers?

Working with multipart documents
Well, when I started to write my Ph.D. thesis I though: Be clever, write one LyX file for each chapter, then combine then with a master document. This would normally be no problem with LaTeX, and after reading the LyX manual I did not expect problems with LyX neither. Now (after finding out this \include bug) I just wanted to add some citation references and cross references to other sections. Probably this has an easy solution, but at least I didn't see it at first glance: How do I use citation refs in a multipart document that - of course - has the reference part at the very end? When I open the LyX file of some chapter and try to insert a citation reference, I don't see the references defined in the "References" section at the end which is in another LyX file. And I cannot insert an empty reference. So I thought, Bibtex refs are better anyway, and switched to inserting bibtex refs. However, there is a similar problem: I don't want a references section in each chapter. But I don't see the Bibtex refs unless I include a Bibtex-created references section in this file. Of course, after inserting all references, I just delete this references section ... but it feels awfully wrong to do. And now for the cross references. Lets add a "... like in section x.y". This section is in another LyX file. How do I insert this reference? I'm coming more and more to a conclusion that it was not a clever but a very silly idea to break the document in parts; even though the final docoment is expected to exceed 150 pages. Or do I overlook something?

Quick newbie question
Hello everyone.
I've just upgraded to v. 1.1.6, and am now getting a sort of strange error.
I'm working on a simple text file with a table, and when I try
View--Postscript, or PDF, I get the following error:
!Latex Error: Something's wrong -- perhaps a missing \item.
See the LaTeX manual .
I.116 \end
{tabular}\par}
Try typing return to proceed.
etc., etc. Now, I don't know a whole hell of a lot about LaTeX, but it strikes
me as strange that this error pops up in the middle of a paragraph of text, and
not next to a table. Even weirder, I could export the file as latex, and then
run latex, and subsequently dvi and dvipdf.
Is this something intrinsic to 1.1.6? Have I made a rookie mistake? Have I
totally misunderstood (wouldn't be the first time).

LyX should create a TeX file that does contain the \begin{document}

- TeX gets wrong file and not the one produced by LyX.
- The file has the command, but nevertheless TeX complains.
- LyX doesn't produce correct TeX file.
Let's start eliminating the possibilities. Try running LyX and select
File/Export/LaTeX for some document check out if the file does have the

Check out that you have free space both in /tmp and in your work

Tuukka I think also that it might not typeset the ps fonts as Tuukka carefully as TeX typesets cm fonts, but you'd better ask Tuukka someone else. The problem is that designing a math font is a very difficult task. You have to make sure, for example, that any character used as a subscript of another one looks good and does not overlap, and a lot of other things... Currently, when using times as main font, you have the following choices for math fonts: - mathtimes fonts: the best choice , but you have to pay for them - mathptm, mathptmx packages: use a clunky virtual math font based on times. It is not very nice and moreover still uses normal computer modern for some glyphs (thus has the problems you describe) - normal computer modern: looks too thin for times - euler fonts: a bit bolder, but not everybody likes them. - the recently released txfonts: probably a good choice, but unfortunately they fail to print on some printers (bug in the ps fonts). If however your problem is only to get small and readable pdf files, a good solution is to use the Postscript Type1 version of the computer modern fonts. Usually you can do that by doing dvips -Pps myfile.dvi -o myfile.ps ps2pdf myfile.ps [of course there are some magic flags to add here and there to make this work...] This only works if you are using the older OT1 encoding. For people using the newer T1 encoding, you should either - buy postscript version of the T1 ec fonts - use the ae.sty package (almost ec), which will emulate the T1 ec fonts with postscript OT1 cm fonts. Then if you want french quotes, you will need the aeguill.sty package too. So, as you can see, things are not _very_ easy. JMarc

Re: double lines at the top and bottom of tables?
A quick workaround would be to add an additional (zeroth) row on the top of the table, and to enable the bottom line of the cells in this row only. Another solution is to use the plain LaTeX table command "\hline" inside of a table in LyX. You have to figure out, where to place this command exactly. As far as I remember, you have to write it prior to the text in your first table cell. Happy LyXing Dirk "Anna H.Pryor" schrieb: Is it possible to put double lines at the top and bottom of tables?

Without annotations it would look like: This is the main text. This is the main text again. I can probably find a way of doing this in LaTeX, but is there a nice way of doing it in LyX?

I can probably find a way of doing this in LaTeX, but is there a nice

in latex preamble

that's all! when you change the boolean PrintAnnotation in latex
preamble to
\setboolean{PrintAnnotation}{false}
your annotations will be ignored!
the latex command write in tex (red)
\ifthenelse{\boolean{PrintAnnotation}}{ ... }{}
the dots stand for any text with any commands
maybe that there's a better solution with the package comment.

Include broken?
I guess I found a bug in LyX 1.1.6: You cannot include files any more.
Obviously, LyX translates the include file command to \Include{file}
instead of \include{file}. This is what LaTeX complains about.
The problem is easily reproducible. Create a LyX file, include another
LyX file via Insert-Include File.
As a workaround you need to include
\newcommand{\Include}[1]{\include{#1}} in the preamble until this is
fixed.

I can not find "comment" in the list of paragraph-styles (maybe it's the
LyX version I am using: 1.0.4).
I used
\begin{comment} (in TeX)
This a paragraph with annotations.
\end{comment} (in TeX)
This works fine.

You cannot do it with the GUI, but you can do it with ERT:
For double line at the top, put '\hline ' (using latex mode) at the beginning

For double line at the bottom, put the following line in the preamble

Great, it is in 1.1.6! Now what LyX needs is:

- Automatically inserting \usepackage{comment} in the document

Re: wish for LyX 1.2
Bitmap fontes created for the resoluton and size that they are view at are better than a scaled outline font. I suppose you mean the bitmap fonts created by dvips (?) for postscript files. In that case, you are not quite right, because they _are_ outline fonts, they are just already rasterized. The question is, whether the conversion from vector form to rasterized (bitmap) form should be done by document publisher (dvips) or the reader (gv/acroread/ps printer). And since outline fonts seem to actually work faster than pre-rasterized fonts, it looks definitely like the fonts should be rasterized by the reader, since only he may know the resolution of the output device. It actually makes some sense that LyX would make TeX and dvips to produce Postscript/PDF files with outline fonts when possible, by default, since Postcript/PDF is more common. Thank you for these clear words. Is this now consensus? How many PDF files you have seen on the web lately? How many DVI files? How many Postscript printers have you seen? How many DVI printers?

Working with multipart documents
Well, when I started to write my Ph.D. thesis I though: Be clever, write one LyX file for each chapter, then combine then with a master document. This would normally be no problem with LaTeX, and after reading the LyX manual I did not expect problems with LyX neither. Now (after finding out this \include bug) I just wanted to add some citation references and cross references to other sections. Probably this has an easy solution, but at least I didn't see it at first glance: How do I use citation refs in a multipart document that - of course - has the reference part at the very end? When I open the LyX file of some chapter and try to insert a citation reference, I don't see the references defined in the "References" section at the end which is in another LyX file. And I cannot insert an empty reference. So I thought, Bibtex refs are better anyway, and switched to inserting bibtex refs. However, there is a similar problem: I don't want a references section in each chapter. But I don't see the Bibtex refs unless I include a Bibtex-created references section in this file. Of course, after inserting all references, I just delete this references section ... but it feels awfully wrong to do. And now for the cross references. Lets add a "... like in section x.y". This section is in another LyX file. How do I insert this reference? I'm coming more and more to a conclusion that it was not a clever but a very silly idea to break the document in parts; even though the final docoment is expected to exceed 150 pages. Or do I overlook something?

Quick newbie question
Hello everyone.
I've just upgraded to v. 1.1.6, and am now getting a sort of strange error.
I'm working on a simple text file with a table, and when I try
View--Postscript, or PDF, I get the following error:
!Latex Error: Something's wrong -- perhaps a missing \item.
See the LaTeX manual .
I.116 \end
{tabular}\par}
Try typing return to proceed.
etc., etc. Now, I don't know a whole hell of a lot about LaTeX, but it strikes
me as strange that this error pops up in the middle of a paragraph of text, and
not next to a table. Even weirder, I could export the file as latex, and then
run latex, and subsequently dvi and dvipdf.
Is this something intrinsic to 1.1.6? Have I made a rookie mistake? Have I
totally misunderstood (wouldn't be the first time).

LyX should create a TeX file that does contain the \begin{document}
command. There are some possible reasons for your problem:
- TeX gets wrong file and not the one produced by LyX.
- The file has the command, but nevertheless TeX complains.
- LyX doesn't produce correct TeX file.
Let's start eliminating the possibilities. Try running LyX and select
File/Export/LaTeX for some document check out if the file does have the
\begin{document} line.
Check out that you have free space both in /tmp and in your work
directory, and permissions to create files on them.
Maybe your compiler failed miserably, but I don't quite believe that.

Tuukka> I think also that it might not typeset the ps fonts as Tuukka> carefully as TeX typesets cm fonts, but you'd better ask Tuukka> someone else. The problem is that designing a math font is a very difficult task. You have to make sure, for example, that any character used as a subscript of another one looks good and does not overlap, and a lot of other things... Currently, when using times as main font, you have the following choices for math fonts: - mathtimes fonts: the best choice , but you have to pay for them - mathptm, mathptmx packages: use a clunky virtual math font based on times. It is not very nice and moreover still uses normal computer modern for some glyphs (thus has the problems you describe) - normal computer modern: looks too thin for times - euler fonts: a bit bolder, but not everybody likes them. - the recently released txfonts: probably a good choice, but unfortunately they fail to print on some printers (bug in the ps fonts). If however your problem is only to get small and readable pdf files, a good solution is to use the Postscript Type1 version of the computer modern fonts. Usually you can do that by doing dvips -Pps myfile.dvi -o myfile.ps ps2pdf myfile.ps [of course there are some magic flags to add here and there to make this work...] This only works if you are using the older OT1 encoding. For people using the newer T1 encoding, you should either - buy postscript version of the T1 ec fonts - use the ae.sty package (almost ec), which will emulate the T1 ec fonts with postscript OT1 cm fonts. Then if you want french quotes, you will need the aeguill.sty package too. So, as you can see, things are not _very_ easy. JMarc
Link failed for LyX on SPARC
Dear LyX users, I am a longtime (0.7.8) LyX user and I am pretty used to LyX compilation under the Intel architecture. I have recently installed a Sparcstation 2 (64 M Ram) with Debian 2.2, I have installed the XForms 0.89 (which work pretty well with my own programs) and wanted to recompile LyX. Apart from the HUGE amount of space required by the default debug-enabled switch, my final link fails. 1. My first attempt at linking was with the default object files _not_ stripped. Linking fails with the "memory exhausted" message (I said I have 64 M + 32 swap--ld was over 50 M RESIDENT image size before giving up...) 2. then I tried to find & strip all the "*.o" files, than issuing "make" again.

Re: double lines at the top and bottom of tables?
A quick workaround would be to add an additional (zeroth) row on the top of the table, and to enable the bottom line of the cells in this row only. Another solution is to use the plain LaTeX table command "\hline" inside of a table in LyX. You have to figure out, where to place this command exactly. As far as I remember, you have to write it prior to the text in your first table cell.
