Re: 1.1.6fix4 for OS X?

2003-01-10 Thread Tomoharu Nishino
If your Mac user is still using OSX 10.1 (not 10.2.x "Jaguar"), then 
the solution is simple.  Go to the Fink project page and download 
version 0.4.1 of fink.  The 0.4.1 contains 1.1.6f4 in the "unstable" 
directory (/sw/fink/unstable/finkinfo/editors/) move the 1.1.6f4 file 
the corresponding stable directory (/sw/fink//finkinfo/stable/editors/) 
then from the terminal do:

sudo fink install lyx

1.1.6f4 should then compile along with all the necessary packages.  
Though 1.1.6f4 is in the "unstable" directory, it compiled and worked 
just fine for me, though YMMV.  (You can use the binary installer, 
which just installs the "stable" version, but I think that will install 
1.1.6f3 instead.)

If your Mac user is using OSX 10.2.x, then things are a bit trickier.  
This is because with the 10.2.x compatible release of fink (0.5.0) only 
contains LyX 1.2.x.  However, I seem to recall that I had version 0.4.1 
of fink working properly on 10.2.x in the interim few months after the 
release of 10.2 but before the release of fink 0.5.0 -- though the fink 
people very carefully pointed out that the packages in 0.4.1 had not 
been fully tested with 10.2.x.  And I am positive that I had LyX 
1.1.6f4 running on my 10.2 via fink.  I believe the instructions on how 
to set up 0.4.1 in 10.2 were posted on the fink website, so you should 
probably check their news archives to find out how.

If this doesn't work well, then you might search the fink website for 
the LyX package info.  You should be able to find out who the 
maintainer of the package is.  He might have the OSX binary of LyX 
1.1.6f4 still available, or at least the necessary patch files to get 
it to compile correctly on OSX.

Hope this is useful.

Good luck.

Unable to set line-spacing

2003-01-10 Thread Shokie Dookie
Dear all,

I have just upgraded to LyX 1.2.3 for win32. I find that I cannot change the
line spacing from single to OneHalf or even double spacing. The Latex error
message that was generated is:

Latex error: File 'setspace.sty' not found.

\onehalfspacing

(Cannot \read from terminal in non-stop modes)

This is the same problem in LyX 1.2.2 (LyX 1.2.1 was working all right).
Anybody know the solution? Please help.

Yes it doesn't provide upright grees letters, but it works better than

Re: Bold for Greek letters

2003-01-10 Thread Paul A. Rubin
Hi,

You can either put \usepackage{amsbsy} in the preamble (may not be 
necessary -- it loads automatically using the amsart class, and maybe 
using other classes) and then use \boldsymbol{\theta} etc. in math mode, 
or \usepackage{bm} in the preamble and \bm{\theta} in math mode.

X11 key-mapping problem (MacOSX, Apple X11, LyX-1.2.2)

2003-01-10 Thread Ronald Florence
Since changing X-Servers on MacOSX to the Apple X11 server, I find that 
the Apple Option key, which generates keycode 66 (Alt-L) in xev, is 
bound to various menu functions in LyX.  Option-e gives me the edit 
menu, Option-v the view menu, etc.   I would like to free the Option 
key up so I can use it to generate foreign characters -- it is the 
 key in MacOSX.  This worked with a different X-server 
(XDarwin) on MacOSX.

The only X11 keymapping change I've made is to use xmodmap to

   clear mod1
   add mod1 = Meta_L

which allows me to use the Apple Command key as a Meta key in Lyx.

Is there a way to unbind the Option (Alt_L) key so it will again work 
with the default Apple key-mapping?  Thanks.

problem with perl scripting when exporting to linuxdoc and text format

2003-01-10 Thread Etienne Herlent
Hello

I am using Lyx for more than 2 years now to maintain the faq of 
news:fr.comp.os.unix.mac, and I made a perl script to automate 
conversions to text, sgml and html format. I have just upgraded to Lyx 
1.2.3
Since a few Lyx versions, my script doesn't work anymore.

In the perl script, I use the following statement for exporting to 
linuxdoc:
($status, $data) = $lyx->command("buffer-export linuxdoc","[M-f E x]");

An alert says :
No information for exporting to linuxdoc

and debuging info (with -dbg 8192 option) tells me :
LyXComm: No such file or directory

and no files are created.

When exporting to text format, the behavior is the same.

Notice that :
- the script did work with Lyx 1.1.5fix2
- "lyx -export linuxdoc faq.fcoum.lyx" works fine
- exporting to LinuxDoc whith menu File/Export/LinuxDoc works fine
- I use, in the perl script :
($status, $data) = $lyx->command("buffer-write","[C-s] [F2] [M-f s]");
to save the lyx file before exporting and it works fine.

So, what is the matter when exporting from the script ?
Thanks in advance.

1. Enable the "Use AMS" button in the document dialog.

2. Add the following line to the preamble
\newcommand{\Tag}[1]{\stepcounter{equation}\tag{\theequation, #1}}

3. In the equation, type
\Tag{A3a

Re: two mathed questions

2003-01-10 Thread Paul A. Rubin
[posted and mailed]

Uwe,

Interesting, I don't have M-c-f in any of my .bind files, but it works on 
my system.  Do you know which file contains M-c-f (or M-z-f in a German 
LyX)?  Or is it hard-coded into LyX itself?

Regarding bold Roman-style Greek letters (which somehow seems to be an 
oxymoron), there's a tip posted at http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/
~voss/lyx/mathstuff/mathmode.phtml#bold_2.  It looks rather painful if 
you need more than one or two letters.  I can't say I've ever tried to 
get upright ("Roman-style"?) Greek myself.  I think that there is a 
package named "upgreek" at CTAN that will do it, but never having used it 
myself, I don't know how upgreek would work in conjunction with ambsy, or 
whether upgreek includes bold versions of upright lowercase Greek 
letters.

Incidentally, there is another package (bm.sty) that comes with the LaTeX 
"tools" macros (macros/latex/required/tools).  You include it in the 
preamble and use \bm{...} in place of \boldsymbol{...}.  It does not seem 
to include upright bold lowercase Greek, but if you have a way to get 
upright lowercase Greek, perhaps wrapping \bm{} around that would do the 
job?

Thanks Paul,
it works fine because amsbsy is loaded everytime automatically.
And sorry for the wrong key-binding M-z-f.
It is M-c-f in an English LyX.

But I'm also interested in converting greek letters in roman-style (M-c-r).
Is there also a possibility with aspecial AMS-LaTeX package?

You are right, that seems to be a bug in the font-package. Greek letters are
always displayed in roman-style.

Hello,

I too am using LyX 1.2.2 under Cygwin.  I'm not familiar with M-z-f, 
though; it's not in any of the key binding files I have.

At any rate, here's how I get bold Greek letters in LyX (may not be the 
most efficient, but it seems to work).

1.  Make sure that the package amsbsy is being loaded.  I use the amsart 
class a lot, which seems to load it automatically.  If in doubt, export 
the article to latex and check the latex file.  If amsbsy is not being 
loaded, add \usepackage{amsbsy} to your document preamble.

2.  In math context, type \boldsymbol{\pi} rather than just \pi, etc.  If 
you're industrious, I suppose you could make up key bindings to do this.

The boldface button in the Math panel doesn't seem to work for this, 
which is unfortunate.

One other note:  I like to use psfonts in my documents, but I cannot get 
bold Greek to work with psfonts.  It works ok with default fonts.

LyX presentation

2003-01-10 Thread Andre Poenitz

Has anybody already made some presentation on LyX itself?

I am pondering giving a 30 minutes talk on LyX at the "Chemnitzer
Linuxtag 2003" but I am known to be a bad entertainer ;-}

Qt or xforms?

There is some experimental code to do this at
http://www.devel.lyx.org/changetracking.php3

It does not compute the differences between two files by itself, but
allows for marking changes.

Some stupid tricks for finding difference (if you are lucky) can be
found at
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg16018.html

I guess it is possible to use wdiff to produce output usable by the
change-tracking code.

version comparison

2003-01-10 Thread David Norris
Does anyone know of a way of comparing two versions of a text and 
producing an output to show which changes have been made. Winword offers 
the possibility of comparing versions, and colour-marking changed text. 
Many scientific journals now expect their authors to provide a marked 
text when they resubmit articles.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be most grateful.

Yes, we have a IEEEtran layout. However you need to pick the
corresponding latex class file (look for info in Help>LaTeX

install this latex class.

Can you show us the final link command you had when compiling LyX?
