left margin
Hi all, Thanks to developers, LyX is a great program! I have a problem with LyX-code environment. I have to include a lot of long Java codes in my document. Since the long-lines went off from the right of the page, i've begin to use listings package. That solved my problem but still i want to shorten the left margin, is there a way to do this? ( All of my codes are in appendix section so setting the left margin for the whole appendix section is Ok with me, but i don't know how to do it) Thanks in advance.

DocBook compilation problems.
Hello, I use Lyx to create DocBook and have various problems. The most serious ones are: - The INFORMALTABLE bug, already reported, applied a workaround cited in http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg12688.html. - An ANCHOR problem I never saw reported. jade:/home/patois/home/patois/work/userdoc/userdoc/CCIN2P3repositoryConventions.dbook:439:46:E: end tag for element ANCHOR which is not open The generated sgml is: anchor id=sec-documentation /anchor Correct syntax appears to be simply : anchor id=sec-documentation without any closing tag. - Bigger problem is again in the table where I got the following incorrect generated sgml: colspec colname=col0 align=center/ colspec colname=col1 align=center/ To compile I had to remove the end slash : colspec colname=col1align=center But I really dont know how to write a simple workaround in the lyx source. *** There are also cosmetics problems that are worring me. I changed from LinuxDoc to DocBook because some on this list claimed it was no more supported. But the generated output (postscript) I got is very poor compared to the one I had with LinuxDoc. Some problems: - No section numbering by default - By manually editing some 'docbook-utils.ds' file I was able to add that again, but I dont know how to tell lyx to use this file instead of the standard one. - URL representation is quite strange (reported as note at the end of the document), there was by default an inline representation of URLs in LinuxDoc, and dont know how to change that. - The Date item is not writen on the output document, I wasnt also able to found how to put a 'Version' item.

Figure_floats export error
Greetings for all, The problem: 1. I have master (main) document and many of "included" documents, each of one chapter. Almost in every chapter there are many float_figures (photos). All pictures are placed in one folder eg. ~/bronek/dok/lyx/global/skan and lyx files are under ~/bronek/dok/lyx/global/blabla 2. All figures are in double format --- *.eps and *.png When inserting figure_floats in Lyx by Insert Figure_floats Figure, I remove extension .eps leaving plain name of figure name (without dot, as was edvised here later) 3. When in subdocument (chapter) doing export (or preview) to Latex, or to PDF, everything is OK. All figures are exposed in xdvi, xpdf or Acroreader. 4. But, --- when trying to export a master document with all of the chapters, Latex will complain that there is no of any such figure! What I shell do? What is wrong? My LyX ver is 1.1.6fix3 on RH7.1 i686 Attached is a preamble. Bronek -- - Rosn serca ujarzmionych strzaami z winoroli.(Pindar) -

Hmpf...I tried the dings you mention, they are not the correct ones. The box and diamond I seek are in the Standard list. There is an open/unfilled box and diamond. Selecting the box doesn't give a proper ding number, it gives me \(\Box\) in the latex window. Inserting this into the appropriate location does nothing but error out because it requires a number, a number that selecting the shape doesn't provide. The same thing happens with the open/unfilled diamond. Why don't any of the Standard dings/shapes provide proper numbers and only provide unusable latex commands?

Lyx eps figure problem
I have three eps figures for inclusion into a document. I am having a problem with one of them - when I do a preview with gv or the kghostview (I use KDE), this particular eps image displays fine but upon inserting it into my lyx document and then doing a preview or printing it, the top segment is removed/invisable. It displays fine in Kontour (the KDE graphics app - formerly killustrator), it displays fine in gv preview but inserting it into the lyx document cuts the top off. I have tried various settings on the size/layout - default, setting it so that it takes up 95% or the height and width of the page. In no case am I able to get the lyx output to include the small top portion (simply an arrow with text above it. I even re-edited the figure, moving everything closer together so that they would better fit a page. No joy. Any suggestions/fixes? praedor

eps, linux, cropping
Well, it now appears that I cannot do my figures at all in linux, which sucks. At this point it looks like I will be forced to go to windows or the mac to do this right. I am using lyx and kontour, up to now, to make my figures for a paper I am working on. I export kontour files to eps and viola! Cropped all to useless hell. No matter what I do to the figure in kontour, no matter what I do to the bounding box numbers in the eps file itself, my figures are cropped to unusability. The postscript version of the figures are fine. Going to eps, which is what the journals I will submit to require/accept renders the figures into crap. What is wrong with the linux way of doing eps that doesn't appear to affect windoze or the mac? praedor
Re: Lyx eps figure problem
OK, relax and take a deep breath. Take the original .eps that was working, insert it in a brand new LyX file, and see if it exhibits the problems in that new file. If so, try to find out if the .eps file itself changed (backup copies?). If not, exploit the differences between the two files until you find the root cause. If you want, you can send me the .eps -- I'll LyXize it with 1.1.6fix1 and send you the resulting Postscript file and you can see if my setup's doing it too.

Re: Lyx eps figure problem - solved!
OK, redfaced, I found the problem. It is in kontour. The figures I created were done for US letter-sized paper. For some reason, opening up kontour to edit the images, regardless of the proper/saved size of the paper it sets the page size to A4. The resulting images were too big for letter-sized paper as a result. Once I RE-set the page size to USletter the images properly exported to eps without cropping.

new lyx question - fonts and line spacing
On my figure legends page, I am using 14 pt font (larger). I have 3 figure legends on the first page. The first two figure legend paragraphs look the same with the same font size and line spacing upon printing. The third figure legend paragraph, however, looks compressed vs the other two figure legends even though the font size and spacing are the same. I have tried many things (going to the next size larger font, increasing line spacing, resetting the entire document to large font, single spacing and then taking it back to double-spacing). No matter what I do, the third figure legend paragraph is compressed - as though it is using 1.5 spacing instead of double spacing...or like the font is a single point smaller. Measuring the output with a ruler, the spaces between lines in the first two figure legend paragraphs is 5 mm for all lines but for the third figure legend it is 4 mm. It adds up and is obvious to the eye. The first figure legend does contain some dingbat symbols but not on every line. The second paragraph/figure legend contains normal text like the third yet the line spacing is a mm different. How do I force the third paragraph to use 5mm spacing like the other paragraphs?

Okay here's another super-duper little tip for using the bullets dialog to
figure out how to embed the symbol of your choice into your document:
1. File-New
2. File-Export-LaTeX
3. copy the exported file to a different directory or rename
4. Layout-Document-Bullets
5. select the bullet you want to use in your document and press OK
6. File-Export-LaTeX
7. compare the previously exported file to the new one:
diff -u previous.tex newfile.tex
You'll see a couple of lines like:
diff -u previous.tex newfile.tex

The ones we're interested in are the ones with the + signs.
The usepackage line tells us which package the symbol comes from.
So you'll need to add that line to your preamble unless you follow the
alternate suggestion from my previous email of just setting one of the
levels of your itemize bullets to the symbol you want. BTW, it should
always be safe to have multiple usepackages of the same symbol/font
packages so if you change bullets later you shouldn't get any errors
because you have also included that package in your preamble.
The later group of lines includes the latex command we would have seen
provided in the dialog. In this case, \(\Box\).
You then place the LaTeX command into an Insert-TeX in your document.
Another alternative way of finding characters and their packages is to
search your computers online LaTeX documentation for files with character
tables. Browse through the .dvi files in the subdirectories of
$TEXPATH/texmf/doc/.
For example when I wrote the bullet support years ago I browsed through
the dvi files in $TEXPATH/texmf/doc/latex/general/ and looked at all the
character tables there for suitable bullet-like characters. You may find
mention of other things in the $TEXPATH/texmf/doc/latex/base/fntguide.dvi
or $TEXPATH/texmf/doc/fonts/ directory.
Or just get hold of The LaTeX Companion or some other LaTeX book that
has character tables in it.

The most serious ones are: - The INFORMALTABLE bug, already reported, applied a workaround cited in http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg12688.html. - An ANCHOR problem I never saw reported. jade:/home/patois/home/patois/work/userdoc/userdoc/CCIN2P3repositoryConventions.dbook:439:46:E: end tag for element ANCHOR which is not open The generated sgml is: anchor id=sec-documentation /anchor Correct syntax appears to be simply : anchor id=sec-documentation without any closing tag. - Bigger problem is again in the table where I got the following incorrect generated sgml: colspec colname=col0 align=center/ colspec colname=col1 align=center/ To compile I had to remove the end slash : colspec colname=col1align=center But I really dont know how to write a simple workaround in the lyx source. *** There are also cosmetics problems that are worring me. I changed from LinuxDoc to DocBook because some on this list claimed it was no more supported. But the generated output (postscript) I got is very poor compared to the one I had with LinuxDoc. Some problems: - No section numbering by default - By manually editing some 'docbook-utils.ds' file I was able to add that again, but I dont know how to tell lyx to use this file instead of the standard one. - URL representation is quite strange (reported as note at the end of the document), there was by default an inline representation of URLs in LinuxDoc, and dont know how to change that. - The Date item is not writen on the output document, I wasnt also able to found how to put a 'Version' item.

Figure_floats export error
Greetings for all, The problem: 1. I have master (main) document and many of "included" documents, each of one chapter. Almost in every chapter there are many float_figures (photos). All pictures are placed in one folder eg. ~/bronek/dok/lyx/global/skan and lyx files are under ~/bronek/dok/lyx/global/blabla 2. All figures are in double format --- *.eps and *.png When inserting figure_floats in Lyx by Insert Figure_floats Figure, I remove extension .eps leaving plain name of figure name (without dot, as was edvised here later) 3. When in subdocument (chapter) doing export (or preview) to Latex, or to PDF, everything is OK. All figures are exposed in xdvi, xpdf or Acroreader. 4. But, --- when trying to export a master document with all of the chapters, Latex will complain that there is no of any such figure! What I shell do? What is wrong? My LyX ver is 1.1.6fix3 on RH7.1 i686 Attached is a preamble. Bronek -- - Rosn serca ujarzmionych strzaami z winoroli.(Pindar) -

Re: unavailable symbols/special characters?
Hmpf...I tried the dings you mention, they are not the correct ones. The box and diamond I seek are in the Standard list. There is an open/unfilled box and diamond. Selecting the box doesn't give a proper ding number, it gives me \(\Box\) in the latex window. Inserting this into the appropriate location does nothing but error out because it requires a number, a number that selecting the shape doesn't provide. The same thing happens with the open/unfilled diamond. Why don't any of the Standard dings/shapes provide proper numbers and only provide unusable latex commands? Or is there some other preamble command required?

Lyx eps figure problem
I have three eps figures for inclusion into a document. I am having a problem with one of them - when I do a preview with gv or the kghostview (I use KDE), this particular eps image displays fine but upon inserting it into my lyx document and then doing a preview or printing it, the top segment is removed/invisable. It displays fine in Kontour (the KDE graphics app - formerly killustrator), it displays fine in gv preview but inserting it into the lyx document cuts the top off. I have tried various settings on the size/layout - default, setting it so that it takes up 95% or the height and width of the page. In no case am I able to get the lyx output to include the small top portion (simply an arrow with text above it. I even re-edited the figure, moving everything closer together so that they would better fit a page. No joy. Any suggestions/fixes? praedor

Hi, Your problem might well comes from the bounding boxes of your eps. Have a look on 'cropping an eps figure' thread in this mailing list. Yannick

Now I am fully screwed. One figure that was displaying/printing just fine as an eps file is now, magically, also being inappropriately cropped.

eps, linux, cropping
Well, it now appears that I cannot do my figures at all in linux, which sucks. At this point it looks like I will be forced to go to windows or the mac to do this right. I am using lyx and kontour, up to now, to make my figures for a paper I am working on. I export kontour files to eps and viola! Cropped all to useless hell. No matter what I do to the figure in kontour, no matter what I do to the bounding box numbers in the eps file itself, my figures are cropped to unusability. The postscript version of the figures are fine. Going to eps, which is what the journals I will submit to require/accept renders the figures into crap. What is wrong with the linux way of doing eps that doesn't appear to affect windoze or the mac? praedor
Re: Lyx eps figure problem
OK, relax and take a deep breath. Take the original .eps that was working, insert it in a brand new LyX file, and see if it exhibits the problems in that new file. If so, try to find out if the .eps file itself changed (backup copies?). If not, exploit the differences between the two files until you find the root cause. If you want, you can send me the .eps -- I'll LyXize it with 1.1.6fix1 and send you the resulting Postscript file and you can see if my setup's doing it too.

Re: Lyx eps figure problem - solved!
OK, redfaced, I found the problem. It is in kontour. The figures I created were done for US letter-sized paper. For some reason, opening up kontour to edit the images, regardless of the proper/saved size of the paper it sets the page size to A4. The resulting images were too big for letter-sized paper as a result. Once I RE-set the page size to USletter the images properly exported to eps without cropping.

new lyx question - fonts and line spacing
On my figure legends page, I am using 14 pt font (larger). I have 3 figure legends on the first page. The first two figure legend paragraphs look the same with the same font size and line spacing upon printing. The third figure legend paragraph, however, looks compressed vs the other two figure legends even though the font size and spacing are the same. I have tried many things (going to the next size larger font, increasing line spacing, resetting the entire document to large font, single spacing and then taking it back to double-spacing). No matter what I do, the third figure legend paragraph is compressed - as though it is using 1.5 spacing instead of double spacing...or like the font is a single point smaller. Measuring the output with a ruler, the spaces between lines in the first two figure legend paragraphs is 5 mm for all lines but for the third figure legend it is 4 mm. It adds up and is obvious to the eye. The first figure legend does contain some dingbat symbols but not on every line. The second paragraph/figure legend contains normal text like the third yet the line spacing is a mm different. How do I force the third paragraph to use 5mm spacing like the other paragraphs?
lyx hyperref
Hi!
I'm a LyX newbie and I need some help.
I'm writing a document and would like to use hyperref.
I added \usepackage{hyperref} at the end of my LaTeX preamble, but when I

document.
The errors are:
1) TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=1500].
\select@language
{english}
2) Argument of \select@language has an extra }.
\select@language
{english}
What does all these mean? What am I doing wrong?

Okay here's another super-duper little tip for using the bullets dialog to
figure out how to embed the symbol of your choice into your document:
1. File-New
2. File-Export-LaTeX
3. copy the exported file to a different directory or rename
4. Layout-Document-Bullets
5. select the bullet you want to use in your document and press OK
6. File-Export-LaTeX
7. compare the previously exported file to the new one:
diff -u previous.tex newfile.tex
You'll see a couple of lines like:
diff -u previous.tex newfile.tex

The ones we're interested in are the ones with the + signs.
The usepackage line tells us which package the symbol comes from.
So you'll need to add that line to your preamble unless you follow the
alternate suggestion from my previous email of just setting one of the
levels of your itemize bullets to the symbol you want. BTW, it should
always be safe to have multiple usepackages of the same symbol/font
packages so if you change bullets later you shouldn't get any errors
because you have also included that package in your preamble.
The later group of lines includes the latex command we would have seen
provided in the dialog. In this case, \(\Box\).
You then place the LaTeX command into an Insert-TeX in your document.
Another alternative way of finding characters and their packages is to
search your computers online LaTeX documentation for files with character
tables. Browse through the .dvi files in the subdirectories of
$TEXPATH/texmf/doc/.
For example when I wrote the bullet support years ago I browsed through
the dvi files in $TEXPATH/texmf/doc/latex/general/ and looked at all the
character tables there for suitable bullet-like characters. You may find
mention of other things in the $TEXPATH/texmf/doc/latex/base/fntguide.dvi
or $TEXPATH/texmf/doc/fonts/ directory.
Or just get hold of The LaTeX Companion or some other LaTeX book that
has character tables in it.

Re: Only one LyX source document for all exports
But is there a program that can convert from PDF file to Tex, PS or HTML ? use pdf2tex -- search in CTAN Or use lyxport (http://www-hep.colorado.edu/~fperez/lyxport) which does all 3: lyx-(ps,pdf,html).

Re: unavailable symbols/special characters?
Hmpf...I tried the dings you mention, they are not the correct ones. The box and diamond I seek are in the "Standard" list. There is an open/unfilled box and diamond. Selecting the box doesn't give a proper ding number, it gives me "\(\Box\)" in the latex window. Inserting this into the appropriate location does nothing but error out because it requires a number, a number that selecting the shape doesn't provide. The same thing happens with the open/unfilled diamond. Why don't any of the Standard dings/shapes provide proper numbers and only provide unusable latex commands? Or is there some other preamble command required?

Lyx eps figure problem
I have three eps figures for inclusion into a document. I am having a problem with one of them - when I do a preview with gv or the kghostview (I use KDE), this particular eps image displays fine but upon inserting it into my lyx document and then doing a preview or printing it, the top segment is removed/invisable. It displays fine in Kontour (the KDE graphics app - formerly killustrator), it displays fine in gv preview but inserting it into the lyx document cuts the top off. I have tried various settings on the size/layout - default, setting it so that it takes up 95% or the height and width of the page. In no case am I able to get the lyx output to include the small top portion (simply an arrow with text above it. I even re-edited the figure, moving everything closer together so that they would better fit a page. No joy. Any suggestions/fixes? praedor

Re: Lyx eps figure problem
Now this is fun...I selected the arrow and text that keeps getting cut off by lyx when it inserts the eps figure into a document and I moved it into the middle of the figure as a test. I did a preview of the document (ps) and now the top segment of my eps figure is cut off, right off the top of a few more objects that were displayed properly before moving the arrow into the page (I did not alter anything else).

Hi, Your problem might well comes from the bounding boxes of your eps. Have a look on 'cropping an eps figure' thread in this mailing list. Yannick
Re: Lyx eps figure problem
Now I am fully screwed. One figure that was displaying/printing just fine as an eps file is now, magically, also being inappropriately cropped. Two figures are unusable to me because ps2epsi is inappropriately cropping them - and no matter what I do to the bounding box numbers in the actual eps files, they remain cropped.

eps, linux, cropping
Well, it now appears that I cannot do my figures at all in linux, which sucks. At this point it looks like I will be forced to go to windows or the mac to do this right. I am using lyx and kontour, up to now, to make my figures for a paper I am working on. I export kontour files to eps and viola! Cropped all to useless hell. No matter what I do to the figure in kontour, no matter what I do to the bounding box numbers in the eps file itself, my figures are cropped to unusability. The postscript version of the figures are fine. Going to eps, which is what the journals I will submit to require/accept renders the figures into crap. What is wrong with the linux way of doing eps that doesn't appear to affect windoze or the mac? praedor
Re: Lyx eps figure problem
OK, relax and take a deep breath. Take the original .eps that was working, insert it in a brand new LyX file, and see if it exhibits the problems in that new file. If so, try to find out if the .eps file itself changed (backup copies?). If not, exploit the differences between the two files until you find the root cause. If you want, you can send me the .eps -- I'll LyXize it with 1.1.6fix1 and send you the resulting Postscript file and you can see if my setup's doing it too.

Re: Lyx eps figure problem - solved!
OK, redfaced, I found the problem. It is in kontour. The figures I created were done for US letter-sized paper. For some reason, opening up kontour to edit the images, regardless of the proper/saved size of the paper it sets the page size to A4. The resulting images were too big for letter-sized paper as a result. Once I RE-set the page size to USletter the images properly exported to eps without cropping.

new lyx question - fonts and line spacing
On my figure legends page, I am using 14 pt font (larger). I have 3 figure legends on the first page. The first two figure legend paragraphs look the same with the same font size and line spacing upon printing. The third figure legend paragraph, however, looks compressed vs the other two figure legends even though the font size and spacing are the same. I have tried many things (going to the next size larger font, increasing line spacing, resetting the entire document to large font, single spacing and then taking it back to double-spacing). No matter what I do, the third figure legend paragraph is compressed - as though it is using 1.5 spacing instead of double spacing...or like the font is a single point smaller. Measuring the output with a ruler, the spaces between lines in the first two figure legend paragraphs is 5 mm for all lines but for the third figure legend it is 4 mm. It adds up and is obvious to the eye. The first figure legend does contain some dingbat symbols but not on every line. The second paragraph/figure legend contains normal text like the third yet the line spacing is a mm different. How do I force the third paragraph to use 5mm spacing like the other paragraphs?
lyx & hyperref
Hi!
I'm a LyX newbie and I need some help.
I'm writing a document and would like to use hyperref.
I added "\usepackage{hyperref}" at the end of my LaTeX preamble, but when I
try to export the document to PDF I get two errors, right at the top of the
document.
The errors are:
1) TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=1500].
\select@language
{english}
2) Argument of \select@language has an extra }.
\select@language
{english}
What does all these mean? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

Okay here's another super-duper little tip for using the bullets dialog to
figure out how to embed the symbol of your choice into your document:
1. File->New
2. File->Export->LaTeX
3. copy the exported file to a different directory or rename
4. Layout->Document->Bullets
5. select the bullet you want to use in your document and press OK
6. File->Export->LaTeX
7. compare the previously exported file to the new one:
diff -u previous.tex newfile.tex
You'll see a couple of lines like:
diff -u previous.tex newfile.tex
--- previous.tex Thu Sep 20 13:12:15 2001

The ones we're interested in are the ones with the "+" signs.
The usepackage line tells us which package the symbol comes from.
So you'll need to add that line to your preamble unless you follow the
alternate suggestion from my previous email of just setting one of the
levels of your itemize bullets to the symbol you want. BTW, it should
always be safe to have multiple usepackages of the same symbol/font
packages so if you change bullets later you shouldn't get any errors
because you have also included that package in your preamble.
The later group of lines includes the latex command we would have seen
provided in the dialog. In this case, "\(\Box\)".
You then place the LaTeX command into an Insert->TeX in your document.
Another alternative way of finding characters and their packages is to
search your computers online LaTeX documentation for files with character
tables. Browse through the .dvi files in the subdirectories of
$TEXPATH/texmf/doc/.
For example when I wrote the bullet support years ago I browsed through
the dvi files in $TEXPATH/texmf/doc/latex/general/ and looked at all the
character tables there for suitable bullet-like characters. You may find
mention of other things in the $TEXPATH/texmf/doc/latex/base/fntguide.dvi
or $TEXPATH/texmf/doc/fonts/ directory.
Or just get hold of "The LaTeX Companion" or some other LaTeX book that
has character tables in it.

I suppose you forgot an parenthesis in the preamble.
send it to the list, if you doesn't find the error.

If you only need tex->pdf, you can try tex2pdf (I don't recall the url), it's more sophisticated than lyxport. The two programs will be soon merged into one. f
