Converting to latex form command line
Hello! I'm new to LyX, but already have some experience with latex and tex. I have to adopt a project with some lyx files and to integrate it into a larger existing project. There is a makefile which processes the documents and creates latex files form others sources. then it converts them do dvi, ps, pdf and so on. My question is: there are some users that want to use lyx. I wolud like to add the lyx - latex export to the makefile. Is there a possibility to call lyx from the command line to export a specifeid .lyx file to latex (like the menu entry export to latex)? Thanks for your help. Michael Hierweck

Re: \over vs \frac, and large tables
Is there a way to make LyX display \over the same way \frac is displayed?
No way unless you want to use 1.2.0cvs. It's working there.
I may give it a try.
There is another point: parsing \over is _much_ harder than parsing \frac.
I think I see what you mean, since \frac always has its arguments enclosed in
braces after the \frac, so you can do trivial counting of {'s and }' to find
where \frac's arguments begin and end. And \frac is prefix, while \over is
infix.
How do you recognize the begin of the numerator and the end of the
denominator?
Well, you can write recursive descent parsers, LR(1) parsers (yacc, bison,
etc.). It's not _that_ hard to parse.
It's true that simple regexp matching like Perl's s/abc/xyz/ would not be
sufficient.
But I did not have anything that complicated. \over was used for numerical
fractions like 1/2 or 3/4, so they were trivial to parse. I did not have
\over with complicated expressions in them -- that was always \frac.

hi! I'm using latex font within eps figures through psfrag package. I read some documentation about that and I've put psfrag to work in my Lyx document. It works fine, allowing to use latex font in anyway produced eps files. However, if I scale the figure, the fonts result scaled too. This is a problem, since if I scale figures to 50%, fonts becomes unreadable in practice. Someone knows how to scale the eps figure, without scale the font, i.e. keeping the font size of the document? regards, Giorgio

place it in a table of 1 row and two column inside the figure float.
But it's better to use minipage command, try the following...
[inside the float, all in red command (tex style)]
\begin{tabular}{cc}
\begin{minipage}{9.5cm}
insert the first figure

figure floats descriptions

I want get the figure either on the left or right side, and have the description text on the side. I can get it to work as standard text, but I would like to use the description text because it bolds the first word and does not do indents. any ideas/suggestions? Thanks, Rodney
Re: figures side to side
Le Mardi 13 Novembre 2001 18:38, vous avez écrit : How can i place two figures side to side and not one under the other in the same float? You just need to put them on the same paragraph and have them small enough for the second not to go to the next line, you can also put an extensible space (insert-special caracter) between them to have one on the left and one on the right.

Hi, I've looked the Herbert help page, but I haven't found what I need, maybe because I haven't searched enough :-) I would like to have a bibliography splitted in several sections, each section containing some of the documents listed.

Re: BibTeX style problem
Guido,
You can do all of these things and many more by using the package natbib.
If you haven't got it installed, install it.
At the end of your document where you have your BibTeX Generated References,
use the style plainnat . The plainnat.bst file comes with natbib and can be
used to replace the plain.bst file.
Then to use the package you just put in your preamble
\usepackage{natbib}
The only complication is that you can't utilise all the features of natbib by
just using Insert -- Citation Reference. (I believe that in LyX 1.2 more
natbib features are supported in this way)
If you do Insert -- Citation Reference, you will get
Jones et al. (1990) (I believe this is one of the options you wanted)
If you would like some other options you need to use a bit of ERT. At the
point in your document where you would like your reference, instead of doing
Insert -- Citation Reference, type in ERT;
\citet {jon90} (where jon90 is they key in your references database) and
you will get the same style as above
\citep{jon90} and you will get (Jones et al.,1990)
\citealt{jon90} and you will get Jones et al. 1990 (the second option
you wanted )
Natbib is very powerful, and there are hundreds of options. I suggest
printing out the documentation that comes with natbib, and they are fairly
easy to work out from that.
I hope this has been of some help

It works fine, allowing to use latex font in anyway produced eps files. However, if I scale the figure, the fonts result scaled too. This is a problem, since if I scale figures to 50%, fonts becomes unreadable in practice. Someone knows how to scale the eps figure, without scale the font, i.e. keeping the font size of the document? regards, Giorgio

Re: BibTeX style problem
Guido,
You can do all of these things and many more by using the package natbib.
If you haven't got it installed, install it.
At the end of your document where you have your BibTeX Generated References,
use the style plainnat . The plainnat.bst file comes with natbib and can be
used to replace the plain.bst file.
Then to use the package you just put in your preamble
\usepackage{natbib}
The only complication is that you can't utilise all the features of natbib by
just using Insert -- Citation Reference. (I believe that in LyX 1.2 more
natbib features are supported in this way)
If you do Insert -- Citation Reference, you will get
Jones et al. (1990) (I believe this is one of the options you wanted)
If you would like some other options you need to use a bit of ERT. At the
point in your document where you would like your reference, instead of doing
Insert -- Citation Reference, type in ERT;
\citet {jon90} (where jon90 is they key in your references database) and
you will get the same style as above
\citep{jon90} and you will get (Jones et al.,1990)
\citealt{jon90} and you will get Jones et al. 1990 (the second option
you wanted )
Natbib is very powerful, and there are hundreds of options. I suggest
printing out the documentation that comes with natbib, and they are fairly
easy to work out from that.
I hope this has been of some help

Converting to latex form command line
Hello! I'm new to LyX, but already have some experience with latex and tex. I have to adopt a project with some lyx files and to integrate it into a larger existing project. There is a makefile which processes the documents and creates latex files form others sources. then it converts them do dvi, ps, pdf and so on. My question is: there are some users that want to use lyx. I wolud like to add the lyx -> latex export to the makefile. Is there a possibility to call lyx from the command line to export a specifeid .lyx file to latex (like the menu entry export to latex)? Thanks for your help. Michael Hierweck

I may give it a try.
>There is another point: parsing \over is _much_ harder than parsing \frac.
I think I see what you mean, since \frac always has its arguments enclosed in
braces after the \frac, so you can do trivial counting of {'s and }' to find
where \frac's arguments begin and end. And \frac is prefix, while \over is
infix.
>How do you recognize the begin of the numerator and the end of the

Well, you can write recursive descent parsers, LR(1) parsers (yacc, bison,
etc.). It's not _that_ hard to parse.
It's true that simple regexp matching like Perl's s/abc/xyz/ would not be
sufficient.
But I did not have anything that complicated. \over was used for numerical
fractions like 1/2 or 3/4, so they were trivial to parse. I did not have
\over with complicated expressions in them -- that was always \frac.
perl -e 'while(<>){s/(\d+)\s*\\over\s+(\d+)/\\frac{$1}{$2}/g;print;}'

You can't. You can't parse TeX cleanly without context. There might
be macro, active characters, "unusual" catcodes and thing like that.
Ideally, you would have to run through everything TeX would have seen
until it comes to the expression itself. Of course one could made
"normalizing assumptions" (like "no catcode changes"), but even than the
scope of \over is not exactly trivial.

Short of re-implementing TeX itself I see no clean solution.

This one fails already on '1\over2' or '1 + 2\over 3'.

Oh, so it's context-sensitive. That's nice :(

That's too bad.

Well, as I said, my document's use of it was trivial, mostly limited to simple
fractions, so it fit simple pattern matching. Something like 1 + 2\over 3 never
appeared. 1 + {2 \over 3} and \frac{1+2}{3} might have appeared, but not 1 +
2\over 3.
Writing a general script to convert \over to \frac under all cases sounds tough
-- it sounds like you must almost parse the whole document in order to infer
the context of \over.
All I had to do was convert some simple fractions.

If you would like some other options you need to use a bit of ERT. At the
point in your document where you would like your reference, instead of doing
Insert --> Citation Reference, type in ERT;
\citet {jon90} (where jon90 is they key in your references database) and
you will get the same style as above
\citep{jon90} and you will get " (Jones et al.,1990) "
\citealt{jon90} and you will get " Jones et al. 1990 " (the second option
you wanted )
Natbib is very powerful, and there are hundreds of options. I suggest
printing out the documentation that comes with natbib, and they are fairly
easy to work out from that.
I hope this has been of some help
