"math-extern" in lyx-1.2.0 is fantastic!
Hello, I'm surprised that in the lyx-1.2.0 announcement, there's no mention of "math-extern" function in the newly added features. I have been using "math-extern" with Maple nearly everyday for several months and it becomes quite stable in current lyx-1.2.0. You can integrate, differentiate, simplify, factorize, within mathed. What it cannot do is to define functions and to load extra packages. So solving differential equations within mathed is not possible at the moment, but eventually will be done, Right, Andre Poenitz?

Possible BUG in LyX 1.2.0 (ERT inset related)
I just installed LyX 1.2.0. Though I've only checked out a few of the
new features, it looks like the new release is a LOT BETTER. A big
"Thank you" goes to all the developers.
While compiling a document written on 1.1.6fix4 I found what appears to
be a bug. I've narrowed down the cause and it's related to ERT insets.
The following lines are the ones that are causing problems:
\begin_inset ERT
collapsed false
\layout Standard
\latex latex
\backslash
frontmatter
\layout Standard
\latex latex
\backslash
pagenumbering{gobble}
\end_inset
They were generated by typing "ert-insert" in the commands box and then
entering the latex commands in ERT. They compiled fine in 1.1.6fix4.
After opening the document with 1.2.0 and compiling it, the errors
included in the attatched image file. The problem is that each latex
command is in an inset of its own, so there are nested ERT insets (see
screenshot).
The problem is solved by cutting the ERT from the nested insets and
pasting it in the topmost inset (so there is no nesting). I haven't had
time to look at it much, but I suppose this could be solved with a
script or something.
BTW, is there any automated way of converting documents with minipages
to 1.2.0 format?
Regards,
Roberto

There are many possible ways to make this simpler.
Assuming that the text above should be normal text, except for sections,
you can use an enumerate environment to do what you want, and put, for
example, the following in the preamble
(this can be inserted automatically by the layout file):
\setlength\leftmargini{0pt}
\setlength\leftmarginii{0pt}
\setlength\leftmarginiii{0pt}
\setlength\leftmarginiv{0pt}
\renewcommand{\theenumi}{\thesection.\arabic{enumi}}
\renewcommand{\theenumii}{\theenumi.\arabic{enumii}}
\renewcommand{\theenumiii}{\theenumii.\arabic{enumiii}}
\renewcommand{\theenumiv}{\theenumiii.\arabic{enumiv}}
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\theenumi}
\renewcommand{\labelenumii}{\theenumii}

This is a feature of babel. Apparently, the Spanish typographic rules

[ANNOUNCE] LyX 1.2.0 is there!
After too long a wait, the LyX team are pleased to announce the new stable release, 1.2.0. This release has far too many bugfixes and new features to list comprehensively, but some are listed below. You can download LyX 1.2.0 here : ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.2.0.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.2.0.tar.gz Prebuild binaries (mainly rpms for linux distributions) are available at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.2.0/ Note that there is no patch, due to the amount of changes. If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.2.0, you may either e-mail the LyX user's mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), or open a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question, first check out http://www.lyx.org/help/, and e-mail the LyX user's list if you can't find an answer there. New features Major improvements have been made to the handling of "insets" such as footnotes, margin notes, and figure floats. A new minipage facility has been added to make minipage management easy and powerful. Float parameters can be set on a per-float basis now. Notes insets can contain arbitrary objects. A new ERT mode replaces the old LaTeX font and LaTeX environment method of 1.1.6. This allows the user to fold LaTeX text away just like a float, and supports both short and long sections of LaTeX commands in an intuitive manner. The speed and usability problems with tables that remained in 1.1.6 have almost all been fixed. A powerful new graphics system has been included. This allows the user to set up converters to allow previews of any input format (for example, LyX can display inline previews of figures generated from Grace). Many other improvements to the graphics code has been made. Support for natbib citations has been added, and more facilities have been added (such as the ability to search). The math editor has been mostly rewritten, leading to many new features, such as : - possibility to display all standard latex and amsmath symbols (and also the \mathcal, \mathbb, and \mathfrak fonts) as long as the relevant fonts have been made available to the X server - support for many amsmath features - GUI support provided for many more features - (Better) support for nested macros Many dialogs and other LyX features have had major usability improvements. Other new features include document bookmarks, parsing LaTeX pre-ambles on LaTeX import, ligature break support, an English thesaurus, and more. New document classes dtk, ltugboat, spie and svprobth. Bug fixes - A large number of math editor fixes have been made. A number of obscure drawing errors and crash problems have been fixed, and several problems with LaTeX output from LyX documents no longer occur. The problems affecting figure previews, due to ghostscript and xforms, no longer apply. A work around for long tab names in dialogs has been included. Various miscellaneous fixes. Upgrading from earlier LyX versions --- You should have no problems upgrading from LyX versions 1.1.5 and 1.1.6. It is nevertheless recommended that you keep backups of important documents. Most documents will load in 1.2.0 without problems. Older versions of LyX cannot read documents saved with LyX 1.2.0. If you are having problems displaying figures in LyX, make sure you have a recent version of the ImageMagick package installed. There are some (rare) problems with older documents, especially concerning floating figures and the use of minipages. Please read the UPGRADING file for more information on this.
Writing books
Hi all LyXers, Some months ago, I've seen a document, something like "writing books with lyx". It was located on ca.postgresql.org. Some weeks later it disappeared, and I couldn't find it anywhere. There is also anothe document with exactly the above mentioned title on troubleshooters.com, but it is not the same. Does anybody know anything about the first one? Thanks in advance Giovanni

Re: numbering "everything"
Hi Devin,
I don't think there is going to be an easy way to number paragraphs the
way you want. It's something that people often want to do and yet nobody
AFAIK has ever come up with a satisfactory way to do it that doesn't
mess up LaTeX for anything other than really simple documents.
As you've already noticed, sections/subsections/subsubsections can be
easily numbered. To avoid having to change the font sizes every time try
including the following in your latex preamble (layout->preamble):
\renewcommand\subsection{\@startsection{subsection}{2}{\z@}%
{-3.5ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
{2.3ex \@plus .2ex}%
{\hskip0.25in\normalfont}}
\renewcommand\subsubsection{\@startsection{subsubsection}{3}{\z@}%
{-3.5ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
{2.3ex \@plus .2ex}%
{\hskip0.5in\normalfont}}
The \hskipXin bits indent the paragraphs, you can change them if you
don't like that bit. So now all you have to do is work out how to get
LyX to automatically convert all your paragraphs into subsections and
subsubsections. I have no idea how you are going to do that but it can't
possibly be any harder than getting LaTeX to number your paragraphs!
James
I've been trying to figure out a way in lyx to produce the following
paragraph numbering format for technical documents:
1 section title
1.1 paragraph
1.2 paragraph
1.2.1 subpara
1.2.1.1 subsubpara
1.2.2 subpara
1.3 paragraph
2 section title
2.1 paragraph
The only thing way so far that I've been able to do this is, after
writing the text, to switch the paragraphs from "standard" to "subsection"
"subsubsection", and so forth. However not only is this onerous, but
it also (in some cases) requires font size changes, boldface to normal
typeface changes, etc.
Does anyone have suggestions on automating this process? I'd like
to create a template or configuration such that other technical writers
could just use it rather than having to do all these changes for every
single paragraph.
I suspect somebody has done this in the past (in latex if not in lyx).
Pointers would be appreciated. I perused CTAN for a bit, but didn't
have luck in finding what I was after.

This will be fixed in 1.2.1.

Is LyX purging X events? Yes, sometimes when the timestamp difference between two X events is very small we purge events.

Well, it just ignores the -geometry command line parameter. I compiled it --with-version-suffix, so I have a $HOME/.lyx and a $HOME/.lyx-1.2.0 directory. But that shouldn't be a problem, should it?

Hi Jean-Pierre
Thank you for your response.
I had the same \addto\extrasspanish. problems in version 1.2.0pre5
of lyx, but now, having compiled the latest source, they are gone.
I have been tweking the lyx preferences in trial-and-error mode :-)
and after unchecking "Use babel" I can see the correct bullets now
