CJK-LyX-1.1.6fix2, Again!

[cghan]

   Hello,

 Couple of days ago, I sent to this mailing list an email announcement of
availability of CJK-LyX-1.1.6fix2, which has never been appeared on the
mail-archive. I know that the mail went through seccessfully, for several
subscribers to this mailing list have told me they've got the message
through this mailing list. Can anyone tell me how this happens?

 Anyhow I would like to tell, again, the lyx-users that CJK-LyX-1.1.6fix2,
a multibyte-patched version of newly announced lyx-1.1.6fix2, is available
at ftp://stone.phys.pusan.ac.kr/pub/CJK-LyX, and that a small update of
CJK-LyX home page have been made,
http://cellular.phys.pusan.ac.kr/cjk.html.

If possible, I also would like to see this annoucement on the lyx home
page. Mr. Jean-Marc Lasgouttes, can you help me?

Regards,


   cghan

LyX cannot export to XML right now, it probably is possible to add such

Yes, there is no direct XML output available, but it is really easy to
have XML from DocBook SGML.
With the attached file, you can have direct XML export format from lyx
by adding the following in the preference file:
\format "xml" "xml" "XML" ""
...
\converter "docbook" "xml" "/(full path)/sgml2xml.pl $$i" ""
To use it, you must change the $system path to your XML DocBook DTD.

index

[Romuald POTEAU]

Dear Lyx users,

I am desperately trying to compile an index, but I am failing since I have 
installed RedHat7.1, and the 1.1.6fix2 patch. The amazing point is that I 
have checked on another computer that there is no problem under RedHat6.2 
with 1.1.6fix1 version of Lyx.  Lyx 1.1.6fix2 does not 
provide error messages.  I have tried to export in latex format, and I get 
the following messages :
"Writing index file test.idx"
"No file test.ind". 
Did anybody encountered the same problem ?
Thanks for your help
Romuald Poteau.

Character wildness, help!

Hi.

I am using komascript report class to write a thesis.  I have all the
chapters included in a master documents.  I setup all the packages, page
margins, and all other pains...But I got a weird problem:

All the character combination "fi" becomes the english curency pound sign.
All the two characters "fl" becomes a circle over a cross when I view PS!
What's happening!!??  Is that an "Easter Egg" thing that one of the
programmer actually put in lyx? :-)  While if I copy and paste that
paragraph into a new lyx document, all becomes normal!

Anyone has a clue on how to fix this?

Thanks a lot!!

Yes. Use the \numberwithin command from amsmath.
You need to select the "Use amsmath" button in the document menu.
Then write (in the preamble or in the body)
\numberwithin{figure}{subsection}

You can use the command several times in the text to change the numbering

LyX cannot export to XML right now, it probably is possible to add such
support but none is currently being worked on.

A feature that will be worked on after 1.2.0 is to simplify the creation
of export formats, together with the scripting language it could be
possible to create export formats without changing LyX itself. But this
is future talk, right now there is no XML export.

1. copy ~/.lyx/layouts/article.layout to esub2acm.layout
2. edit the second line in esub2acm.layout to
   #  \DeclareLaTeXClass{esub2acm}
3. save esub2acm.cls and all other files from the site
 in /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/esub2acm/
4. run texhash
5. run ~/.lyx/configure and look for a line like
   +checking for document class esub2acm [esub2acm]... yes

start lyx and the class should be in 
layout->document->class as esub2acm

now you have to look if standard article class are
more or less similiar to the esub2acm class.

X can be a small thing, and LyX itself (as a stripped binary) can
probably be fitted to, though it might require trimming it a bit, but
since you don't really need to produce the files on it, you should be
fine with just the editor.

You'll have a lot less words on a line, but hey, if it makes you able to

There are external keyboards for palm computers, and I am told that

things.

It could be possible.

AFAIK you won't be able to produce XML from latex source, but you can write
SGML/XML documents with LyX with the Linuxdoc and DocBook document class.
For the docbook support, you can have a look at

No, it is possible only with the DocBook document class. Note however that the
DocBook export format is SGML, but there is very few things to have XML from
it. It was said that a SGML/XML script should be provided in the distribution,
but I don't know if it is the case. If not, and if you are interested in I can
send you mine.

For jpeg images, it is better to use jpeg2ps
(http://www.pdflib.com/jpeg2ps/index.html) as it doesn't uncompress the image.
There is similar tiff2ps on CTAN.

In 1.1.6 you have the external inset, but it just converts the image file to
eps using 'convert'. It is better do to the conversion manually.

Also, if you use pdflatex instead of latex, you can include png/jpeg images.
(you can also include png/jpeg if you use latex+dvipdfm).

You can use \section[short name]{long name} in latex mode.
However, a better solution is to globally disable hyphenation inside section
commands by putting the following lines in the preamble:
 \let\oldsection=\section
 \renewcommand{\section}[1]{{\raggedright\hyphenpenalty=1 \oldsection{#1}}}

You then won't need to put line breaks in your sections!

Hello,

Is it possible to label figures in lyx so that (for example) those under
a paragraph heading are numbered <>-<>
(e.g. 2.3.4.1-1), those under a subsection heading are numbered
<>-<> (e.g. 2.3-2) and so on?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Jonathan

Supongo que podrás redefinir el comando lyx/latex, como se hace, por ejemplo,
para cambiar el tipo de enumeración.

Mira el comando \renewcommand para ello.

(In English) 
I suppose that you could user the \renewcommand to redefine the ouput of the
index.

Lyx can generate XML?

[Adolfo Pachón]

Hy!!

I'd like to know if its possible with Lyx generate XML code, with any class
format

I guess everybody has read about this already from slashdot.org, but here
it goes: what about Agenda's VR3? It's a palm computer with Linux and
X-server. http://www.agendacomputing.com/products/system.html#spec

some technical specs: 8MB RAM + 16MB Flash Memory, 160x240 resolution.

Now i see 3 problems using LyX here:

Hard disk. Nobody has mentioned it, so am I correct that the 16
meg flash is used instead of hard disk? In that case it seems
impossible that they have put both X-server and Linux on it.
Can anyone comment that?
Definitely there isn't space for LyX, right?
Resolution. LyX window size can be quite nicely resized and the fonts
zoomed. However, that resolution is so low that it's probably
impossible to use LyX menus.
Keyboard: no keyboard. Unless the handwriting recognizion is pretty good,
the lack of keyboard is pretty bad. Maybe an external one can be
connected (such as happy hacking)?

Running LyX in another computer over network (using X protocol) should
solve first problem, though. Needs net connection.

8 MB should be adequate, I have previously run LyX with 8 meg memory too
(but it would require swap!)

Just tried running it, but perl -d came out with "unrecognized character \xA0 
at line 60" (which seems to be in the middle of a comment, so shouldn't 
apply, unless perl only numbers lines with instructions - it's been so long I 
can't remember).

Looks pretty nifty if I can make it work though, thanks!

Re: screen problems

[Thomas Schönhoff]

Hello,

thanks to all who responded to my screen problems everything is now fine! The
difficulty was that Xconfigurator (RH7.0 tool for adjustement of system
parameters) configured my XWindow not properly., after reconfiguring it
yesterday everything was fine again.

Besides LaTeX Companion, I have Kopka & Daly's A Guide to LaTeX, which
is IMHO very god LaTeX material.

I want to learn more Lyx/Latex - BOOKS

[xdeblas]

If I want to be more fluent in Lyx, what can I do? Should I buy the Latex Companion? 
Is there any other book better?.

What I read in Latex Companion is valid for Lyx or is very different?

How can I change the title of the TOC

[xdeblas]

In spanish in the article class, the title is "Indice General" (General Index)  what 
about if I want nother like "Indice" (Index) for example.

Thanks

Sasa (et al),

I have done some research, and I have discovered that I could possibly
install linux, (http://linux-7110.sourceforge.net/).  I suppose I would then
install Microwindows (www.microwindows.org) and then try to hack lyx or
something.  Or maybe use PocketLinux (www.pocketlinux.org).  I am not much
of a programmer, but I am sure the GUI interface code could be changed with
some effort.  I was looking at the PSION Series 5/7, and they have CF II
slots, so a 340MB IBM microdrive would work, thus removing any space
concerns.  Thanks for all of your replys and thoughts.
