RE: Footnotes don't appear in HTML output

2001-09-13 Thread Adolfo Pachón

IF you use LaTeX2HTML to export, your problem is in the .latex2html-init
file. One of the variables is not rigth. Use the original and compare with
yours.

my first thought was Alt-Return (as in List and the like). However, when I
tested this I had to realize, that even this ends the minipage. Also pasting
a paragraph from somewhere else breaks the page.

So my conclusion is: No, there isn't.

>I have eps files but their margin are too big

You could use ps2eps program. As far as I understand, that
computes the bounding box of a postscript file by actually
rasterizing it and checking where the image ends. 

You could convert your EPS file to postscript, for example
by inserting it into a LyX document and exporting it as
postscript, or maybe ps2eps can handle directly also EPS files.

This isn't specifically easy solution though (needs some
work at the command line level), so read first if others give you easier
tricks.

displaystyle applied to fractions in a matrix

2001-09-13 Thread Michael Koundouros

Hi,

I want the fractions within my matrix to have displaystyle. I am using the
following command in my preamble:

\newcommand{\bigmath}[1]{\displaystyle{#1}}

once in math-mode I create my matrix and use the command
\bigmath{}  in each cell.

viewing the ps file shows that fractions above one another are touching. How
do you increase the vertical distance between cells??

Or better yet is there an easier way of accomplishing the task of
attributing the matrix components with displaystyle ???

thanks for the advice

Michael

I have 1.1.6fix3, so I presume you mean that'll be ok.

I don't quite understand what you are suggesting I try. Should I
add \usepackage{tabularx} \renewenvironment{tabular} in the preample,
and that will allow me to use the "X" column type ?

This would allow my columns to adjust themselves so that the entire
table is a particular width (\textwidth) so I can have a page which is
like

+-+
| h   |
|text text text   |
|text text text   |
|text text text   |
| able table table ta |
| able table table ta |
| able table table ta |
| able table table ta |
|text text text   |
|text text text   |
|text text text   |
| f   |
+-+

?

I'm considering moving back to xemacs for personal documents TBH; but
I'd still like to be able to have "wide" tables in documents which
must be LyX so that others (eg. my boss) have at least a chance of
learning to edit them.

I use jpilot with a HandEra (Fernando mentioned he doesn't know if it
is HE compatible). It's just a straight Palm as far as jpilot cares.

I (in disagreement with most people) don't like the jpilot GUI at all;
so I use the palm for most things apart from tiny edits or pasting in
new memos. I've written my on scripts to prepare files for
installation (append to ~/.jpilot/jpilot_to_install etc) and I have a
background shell which loops on "jpilot-sync" (jpilot-sync has it's
own looping, but that doesn't work with network-sync).

jpilot keeps .pdb's in it's directory btw, which is good because you
can read them with standard pdb decoding tools (eg. to extract memos,
or extract addresses---I have a cronjob to read my address book for a
particular category and mail it out to people as a "recent contact
list").

jpilot's month-calendar printing is quite nice too.

I don't use jpilot's backup features, as I backup to CF.

Re: Footnotes don't appear in HTML output

2001-09-13 Thread Ben Logan

I checked, and I'm using the system default init file.  I looked
throught it, but it doesn't appear to have anything relavant to
footnotes in it--it just sets the default options.

I know that my version of latex2html is capable of footnotes, because
I generated the l2h documentation with it and there were some
footnotes in there.

Any other ideas?

Maybe you should use lyxport which does some corrections of the LaTeX

lyx1.1.5fix2->lyx1.1.6fix 3 recommended

2001-09-13 Thread Oliver Eichler

Hi

We use lyx for all our office textediting needs. Thus I am always a bit 
reluctant to update to the next version. As I have to recompile & install lyx 
anyway today, the question is: Is lyx1.1.6fix3 a more stable, bugfree and 
usable version than 1.1.5fix2. Is it worth to drop backward compatibility? 

The statement for 1.1.6fix1 from JMarc was to stick in our case with 1.1.5. 
Does this still apply.

Thanks for clarification (once more )

My personal opinion: If you are happy with 1.1.5fix2 and don't need any of
the 1.1.6 feature, stick with 1.1.5fix2...

Use word2x, you should be able to find it from freshmeat.net.

It probably doesn't support LyX directly but you could try
translating word document first to latex and then import that
from lyx. Or if that doesn't work well enough, use ASCII
(although you'll lose all formatting).

Generally, this is a difficult problem for which there isn't
a perfect solution.

Ugh, sorry.

Put
{\everymath{\displaystyle\everymath{}}\def\arraystretch{1.2}
before the matrix, and } after it.
You can also redefine the array environment, if all your matrices need to
use displaystyle.

I'm good with VI, so here's how I'd do it:

First I'd run Word search and replace to place begin and end tags around 
Headings 1 thru 6. Then I'd run word search and replace to place begin and 
end tags around each paragraph of body text. Then I'd search and replace any 
other styles you might have, including character styles. Make sure every 
paragraph is surrounded by some sort of begin and end tag. Once you've 
captured all your styles, your document is *conceptually* ready for a 
styles-based editor like LyX.

Now export to text. Linespacing doesn't matter because every paragraph has 
begin and end tags. Modify the file in VI something like this:

:%s//\r\\layout Part\r\r/g
:%s///g

I didn't test the preceding, but it's something like that. Note that if it's 
not a book or something else with a top level called "Part", you'll need hdr1 
to correspond to LyX environment "Chapter" or maybe "Section". If your 
original doc doesn't have parts, use chapters as the replacement for , 
or if it doesn't have chapters, use "Section". Naturally,  will be 
replaced by a lower level LyX environment. In the Book document class, the 
hierarchy is Part, Chapter, Section, Subsection, Subsubsection, Paragraph and 
Subparagraph. Once all begin and end tags have been properly substituted, 
paste the file into an empty LyX document of the proper Document Class. Paste 
it just above the line saying "\the_end".

Save the LyX file and you'll have a document that's conceptually identical to 
the MS Word one.

word2x is probably only for word 6. It was difficult for converting the

doc and save it. Now put in the offending graphic and save the file as 
something else. Verify that you cannot get rid of the graphic.

Now do a diff on the two files, and the difference is probably the problem.

Now you know what to get rid of using a text editor.

dropped capitals

2001-09-13 Thread M. B. Schiekel

Hallo,

according to "Extended LyX Features" documentation I installed the 
package "dropping" from CTAN and used it this way:
   \usepackage{ae,aecompl}  %in preamble
   \usepackage{dropping}  %in preamble
   \dropping{3}{D} %in text
This works with latex, but gives the following errormsg with pdflatex:
   ! Undefined control sequence.
   \bigdrop ...vance \wantedheight by \ht 1\findsize
  {#3}{#4}\hangindent=\wd 0...
   l.109 \dropping{3}{D}

Is there a way, to overcome this problem?


Then I tried the tex-version of the above Lyx-documentation:
   \usepackage{ae,aecompl}  %in preamble
   \newfont{\tmpfont}{cmr17 scaled 2500}{\tmpfont D}
   \vspace*{-8.4ex} \hangindent=3.3em \hangafter=-3

This compiles with both latex and pdftex, but produces (due to 
ae-font?) in contrast to the Lyx-documentation a great mess.

Any help would be appreciated - thank you -
bernhard

Select the figure (using the mouse or shift+move keys) and press delete.

figures not rendering, Debian - solution

2001-09-13 Thread Markus Mohr

Hi!

Since this question pops up rather often, heres the solution for Lyx
1.1.6fix3 for Debian (and probably other distros, too):

1) replace package 'gs-aladdin' (6.50-5) with 'gs' (5.50-8)
2) type 'xhost +' or just 'xhost +' (just '+' opens your
display to everyone!)

If gs-aladdin gets updated, error 1) will probably go away, 2) will
leave us with Lyx 1.2 (so I've heard :)

hope that helps someone

About the LaTeX style & the latex output

2001-09-13 Thread Adolfo Pachón

Hi all!!

I'm a LyX document, with this text marked as LaTeX style in a article
class:

[global]
   option 1
   option 2
   ...
   option N

Well, when I export to .tex, the source shows like this:

[global]

   option 1

   option 2

   ...

   option N


Mi question is:

How can I to order the .tex export but without these linefeeds?

Thanks.

Pro-Active Response to a National Tragedy

2001-09-13 Thread customerservice

Dear Educator,

Columbine (Littleton, CO)Jonesboro, ARWest Paducah, KYPearl, MS...

Immediately, you know why these places are linked together.  The names of
these schools are forever burned into our memories and the national conscience...

Are you concerned about the rising number of incidents of violence in our
schools?

Would you like to lower the probabilty of such an incident from occuring at
your school?

Would you like to help our children better cope with the pressures of modern
life - helping to prevent issues such as substance abuse, teen pregnancy and
suicide?

If you answered yes to any of these questions - then read on.

The Resilient Kids CD ROM Program is used in schools, churches, and homes to
teach optimism, coping skills, and personal mastery and helps to prevent
depression in young people.  This program, launched in April 2000, is now
in over 1,000 primary and secondary schools across Australia.


With its light-hearted, interactive approach, the Resilient Kids CD ROM Program
strives to achieve the following objectives:

  - Reducing the incidence of suicide in the young by teaching primary
prevention strategies.

  - Teaching children how to evaluate their automatic thoughts and to
re-look at failures or set-backs as challenges to be reacted to with
activity and hope.

  - Teaching parents how to help their children achieve self-esteem
through personal mastery.

  - Creating a sense of belonging through parents and school working
together for the childs well being.

  - Equipping older teenagers with ideas and skills for managing the transition
from adolescence to adulthood and handling typical stressful situations.

  - Taking a serious problem and making it easy to communicate and fun
to learn through interactivity.

The program's success is due to:

  - A clear format for instant implementation

  - Colorful, fun-filled interactive material suitable for all reading ages
and learning abilities

  - Practicality. It will not burden crowded curriculums or overload teachers

  - A built-in, prepared parent education component

Resilience Training - the most effective way for both primary and secondary
schools to address the serious social problems of depression, suicide and
substance abuse. Take advantage of this unique program and teach your
students how to "bounce back positively."

Resilient Kids is a positive, effective and enjoyable prevention program for
your school community. Please visit us at http://www.resilientkids.net or call

seminars, or our newly released parent CD package.

LyX (LyX-Code), LaTeX, and the tag

Controlling top margin

2001-09-13 Thread Jim Osborn

I've done everything I can think of to place my topmost line of text
within 0.25in of my paper, the closest my printer will allow.

All the relevant settings I know of are as follows:

Paper Layout:
  Papersize: USletter, Special: None,  Use Geometry Package, 
  Margins: Top: 0.25in, Bottom: 0.625in, Left/Right: 0.5in
  Foot/Head Margins: all 0in;  
  Custom Papersize: all empty
Document Layout:
  Class: article, Pagestyle: empty, FontSize: 11. 

The top line is size large, Standard layout, centered, no vertical
space above in Paragraph Layout.  But LyX puts it 0.5in from the top
edge of the paper to the top of the highest letters, not 0.25in as I
want.

What am I overlooking?  Where's that extra space coming from?
I know I can put some negative vspace before that line, but that
seems like a silly kludge, I ought to be able to convince LyX
to print as I want directly, shouldn't I?  In fact, I'm sure I
have printed that close to the top in the past, but I can't seem
to get this document to do it, and I obviously don't understand
LyX well enough to duplicate my accidental success from before.

LyX 1.1.5fix1.

TIA,

Jim



Re: Footnotes don't appear in HTML output

2001-09-13 Thread Ben Logan

I downloaded lyxport per your suggestion, but it didn't fix the
problem.  The footnote still shows up as gobbledy-goop.

Are there any footnote options in LyX?  I've looked but can't find
any.

Thanks,

this apparently doesn't always work to fix the auth errors.

Word2Tex works very well. Of course you have to import the LaTeX file to LyX.
Look at:

There is also a free trial version with limited capabilities, but usable.
