LaTeX/LyX math
Hi, A little wish about math. There are two ways for entering math: open a math environment and type in it or write a latex formula, select it and convert it in math using C-m for instance. But the last needs to explicitely write the $ around the latex formula. If the $ are forgotten, lyx converts the formula to text even if there is a math symbol (beginning with \) in the formula. Could it be possible to automatically add the $ around the latex formula when transforming it in math and a \ is detected in it ? I know the backslash is rather common in latex ;-) but we can assume that each time a latex formula must be converted in math, all latex symbols in the formula are math symbols. But maybe I miss a good reason for always needing the $ ? -- Dr. Nicolas Ferre' Laboratoire de Chimie Theorique et de Modelisation Moleculaire UMR 6517 - CNRS Universite' de Provence Case 521 - Faculte' de Saint-Jerome Av.

Public release of LyX version 1.3.5
===
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.3.5.
This is mainly a bugfix release, with few notable user-visible
improvements. However, we would like to highlight two fixes in particular:
* Nested documents (with InsertInclude File...), which have been
broken since LyX 1.2.0, should now work properly, including the
case where the files are in different directories.
* It is now possible to compile LyX with gcc 3.4.
The complete list of improvements and fixes can be found at the end of
this message.
In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:
LyX is an advanced open source document processor that encourages
an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents,
not their appearance. LyX lets you concentrate on writing, leaving
details of visual layout to the software.
LyX runs on many Unix platforms, OS/2, and under Windows/Cygwin
(this port requires an X server). It can also run natively on Mac
OS X, thanks to the Qt/Mac library.
You can download LyX 1.3.5 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
which yields smaller files):
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.5.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.5.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.3.5.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.3.5.tar.bz2
and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will also host
the .bz2 versions):
ftp://ftp.sdsc.edu/pub/other/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.5.tar.gz

Prebuilt binaries (mainly rpms for linux distributions) should soon be
available at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.3.5/
If you already have the LyX 1.3.4 sources, you may want to apply one
of the following patches instead
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.3.5.gz
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.3.5.bz2
If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.3.5, you may either
e-mail the LyX developers' 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/. If you can't find the answer there,
e-mail the LyX users' list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Enjoy!

What's new
==
** Updates
- Add a new textclass, svglobal. It is needed for various
Springer Verlag journals for which no specific class exists.
- Add a new bindings file mac.bind for LyX/Mac.
- The script used to control the generation of bitmap images for use
in 'Instant Preview' of math equations has been re-written in python.
Windows users now have some chance of getting Instant Preview to
work for them.
- The built-in Qt dialogs are now correctly translated for the
languages that Qt supports [Qt = 3.2 only].
- Add support for Icelandic, Latvian, Lithuanian and Nynorsk.
- Updated the Basque, Danish, German, Italian, Romanian, Russian (fix crash
when autosaving) and Spanish localizations. Updated the Basque and German
documentation.
** Bug fixes
* Document input/output:
- Partly fix the handling of included files. External insets are still not
working correctly [bug #605].
- Fix nesting of language change commands, especially important for
Arabic [bugs #1225, #1404].
- Fix missing line break in front of \end{...} in some cases [bug #1225].
- Run makeindex and bibtex correctly when the file name contains some
special characters [bug #1526].
- Prevent clashes with LaTeX packages defining \boldsymbol [bug #1498].
- Make import of the preamble of LaTeX files more robust [bug #1584].
- Fix handling of floats and counters in svjog and svprobth
textclasses [bug #1430].
- Fix handling of counters in the scrlettr and scrlttr2 classes.
- Fix off-by-one-error which caused LyX to choose the wrong custom margin
package.
- Remove extra spaces around math insets in plain text output.
- Quote shell variables correctly in the generated sh script used
to control the conversion of graphics images to a loadable format.
Ditto for the convertDefault.sh script.
* User Interface:
- Use opening quotation marks after an opening square bracket.
- Fix the toggling of the short title inset in some cases.
- When the autodetection of latex classes cannot be done for some
reason, provide a sensible list of textclasses.
- Honor correctly the various locale-related

Eqnarray in an itemize environment

doublespace creates error in DVI
Hello. I am using Lyx 1.3.4 on RedHat 9. I have been using the
article(elsevier) class with good success for a month or so now. I now
need to have it doublespaced rather than single spaced. I tried under
Layout - Document - Linespacing changing to doublespaced but when I
generate a DVI or try to print I get the following 2 errors:
1.
Missing number, treated as zero.
\doublespacing
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
2.
Undefined control sequence.
\doublespacing
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
I have googled these errors and seen mention of them but without a
solution that makes sense to me. I do have setspace.sty in my tex
directory, and I have tried putting \usepackage{setspace} in the
preamble and then reconfiguring and then restarting. I've also tried
running texhash as root and then restarting. I get the same 2 errors
still.
Does anyone have any other ideas for what I should try?
Thanks!

Re: Wrapping very wide math equations?

In my current work I tend to get quite wide math equations; i.e. they
are wide LaTeX-wise (and also in LyX), but they will be printed on one
line in the end. I guess one reason is that I use some LaTeX commands
which I have defined in the preamble and not in the LyX file. An
equation might look like this (in LyX):
\Rule{\Item{o}{i-j;f:A.r-s0 X1 s1 ... sn-1 Xn
sn}\Item{o}{jd-kd;Xd}}{\Item{x}{A-f[B];r=j...k;
G}}\When{Gi=(r'=j'...k'|Xd=Bi.r')}
The commands \Rule, \Item, \When are defined in the preamble, since
they are quite complicated.
Note that you can use the secnd argument of math maro definitions to
give any macro any visual appearance that's 'fakeable' by other math
constructs.
In the dvi file, the equation looks nice,
but in LyX the equation is too wide and does not fit in the window. The
problem is that it gets difficult to edit, since I don't see what I
write at the end of the equation...
Either I would like a way of manually line breaking an equation, only
in LyX, not in the dvi/pdf/ps file.
I have recently changed my mind about the difficulties to implement such
a thing and even know of a working implementation *cough*. However, I am
not sure how this approach translates from toy sized formulas to the
amount of formulas that may show up on a LyX screen. Idea is to have a
'line break inset' and extend the MathArray dim_ cache to a
vectorDimension linedims_, and handle 'line jumps' when 'drawing' such
a 'line break inset'. Conceptually not very hard, but costs at least 12
bytes for the vector 'wrapper' and around 12 + n x lines for the
dynamic part, i.e at least 28 more byte for _every_ math 'blue box', even for
those not using the feature. Of course, situation would improve if the
size cache were moved off the insets, which is also possible an
intented. But not today..
Or I'd request that the equation view follows the cursor so that I can
see what I write even at the end.
Probably more effort to implement as this requires support from the
frontend. The other solution is a 'pure core solution'.

What's new
==
** Updates
- Add a new textclass, svglobal. It is needed for various
Springer Verlag journals for which no specific class exists.
- Add a new bindings file mac.bind for LyX/Mac.
- The script used to control the generation of bitmap images for use
in 'Instant Preview' of math equations has been re-written in python.
Windows users now have some chance of getting Instant Preview to
work for them.
- The built-in Qt dialogs are now correctly translated for the
languages that Qt supports [Qt = 3.2 only].
- Add support for Icelandic, Latvian, Lithuanian and Nynorsk.
- Updated the Basque, Danish, German, Italian, Romanian, Russian (fix crash
when autosaving) and Spanish localizations. Updated the Basque and German
documentation.
** Bug fixes
* Document input/output:
- Partly fix the handling of included files. External insets are still not
working correctly [bug #605].
- Fix nesting of language change commands, especially important for
Arabic [bugs #1225, #1404].
- Fix missing line break in front of \end{...} in some cases [bug #1225].
- Run makeindex and bibtex correctly when the file name contains some
special characters [bug #1526].
- Prevent clashes with LaTeX packages defining \boldsymbol [bug #1498].
- Make import of the preamble of LaTeX files more robust [bug #1584].
- Fix handling of floats and counters in svjog and svprobth
textclasses [bug #1430].
- Fix handling of counters in the scrlettr and scrlttr2 classes.
- Fix off-by-one-error which caused LyX to choose the wrong custom margin
package.
- Remove extra spaces around math insets in plain text output.
- Quote shell variables correctly in the generated sh script used
to control the conversion of graphics images to a loadable format.
Ditto for the convertDefault.sh script.
* User Interface:
- Use opening quotation marks after an opening square bracket.
- Fix the toggling of the short title inset in some cases.
- When the autodetection of latex classes cannot be done for some
reason, provide a sensible list of textclasses.
- Honor correctly the various locale-related

doublespace creates error in DVI
Hello. I am using Lyx 1.3.4 on RedHat 9. I have been using the
article(elsevier) class with good success for a month or so now. I now
need to have it doublespaced rather than single spaced. I tried under
Layout - Document - Linespacing changing to doublespaced but when I
generate a DVI or try to print I get the following 2 errors:
1.
Missing number, treated as zero.
\doublespacing
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
2.
Undefined control sequence.
\doublespacing
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
I have googled these errors and seen mention of them but without a
solution that makes sense to me. I do have setspace.sty in my tex
directory, and I have tried putting \usepackage{setspace} in the
preamble and then reconfiguring and then restarting. I've also tried
running texhash as root and then restarting. I get the same 2 errors
still.
Does anyone have any other ideas for what I should try?
Thanks!

Re: Wrapping very wide math equations?

In my current work I tend to get quite wide math equations; i.e. they
are wide LaTeX-wise (and also in LyX), but they will be printed on one
line in the end. I guess one reason is that I use some LaTeX commands
which I have defined in the preamble and not in the LyX file. An
equation might look like this (in LyX):
\Rule{\Item{o}{i-j;f:A.r-s0 X1 s1 ... sn-1 Xn
sn}\Item{o}{jd-kd;Xd}}{\Item{x}{A-f[B];r=j...k;
G}}\When{Gi=(r'=j'...k'|Xd=Bi.r')}
The commands \Rule, \Item, \When are defined in the preamble, since
they are quite complicated.
Note that you can use the secnd argument of math maro definitions to
give any macro any visual appearance that's 'fakeable' by other math
constructs.
In the dvi file, the equation looks nice,
but in LyX the equation is too wide and does not fit in the window. The
problem is that it gets difficult to edit, since I don't see what I
write at the end of the equation...
Either I would like a way of manually line breaking an equation, only
in LyX, not in the dvi/pdf/ps file.
I have recently changed my mind about the difficulties to implement such
a thing and even know of a working implementation *cough*. However, I am
not sure how this approach translates from toy sized formulas to the
amount of formulas that may show up on a LyX screen. Idea is to have a
'line break inset' and extend the MathArray dim_ cache to a
vectorDimension linedims_, and handle 'line jumps' when 'drawing' such
a 'line break inset'. Conceptually not very hard, but costs at least 12
bytes for the vector 'wrapper' and around 12 + n x lines for the
dynamic part, i.e at least 28 more byte for _every_ math 'blue box', even for
those not using the feature. Of course, situation would improve if the
size cache were moved off the insets, which is also possible an
intented. But not today..
Or I'd request that the equation view follows the cursor so that I can
see what I write even at the end.
Probably more effort to implement as this requires support from the
frontend. The other solution is a 'pure core solution'.

LaTeX/LyX math
Hi, A little wish about math. There are two ways for entering math: open a math environment and type in it or write a latex formula, select it and convert it in math using C-m for instance. But the last needs to explicitely write the $ around the latex formula. If the $ are forgotten, lyx converts the formula to text even if there is a math symbol (beginning with \) in the formula. Could it be possible to automatically add the $ around the latex formula when transforming it in math and a \ is detected in it ? I know the backslash is rather common in latex ;-) but we can assume that each time a latex formula must be converted in math, all latex symbols in the formula are math symbols. But maybe I miss a good reason for always needing the $ ? -- Dr. Nicolas Ferre' Laboratoire de Chimie Theorique et de Modelisation Moleculaire UMR 6517 - CNRS Universite' de Provence Case 521 - Faculte' de Saint-Jerome Av.

Public release of LyX version 1.3.5
===
We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.3.5.
This is mainly a bugfix release, with few notable user-visible
improvements. However, we would like to highlight two fixes in particular:
* Nested documents (with Insert>Include File...), which have been
broken since LyX 1.2.0, should now work properly, including the
case where the files are in different directories.
* It is now possible to compile LyX with gcc 3.4.
The complete list of improvements and fixes can be found at the end of
this message.
In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:
LyX is an advanced open source document processor that encourages
an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents,
not their appearance. LyX lets you concentrate on writing, leaving
details of visual layout to the software.
LyX runs on many Unix platforms, OS/2, and under Windows/Cygwin
(this port requires an X server). It can also run natively on Mac
OS X, thanks to the Qt/Mac library.
You can download LyX 1.3.5 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2,
which yields smaller files):
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.5.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.5.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.3.5.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.3.5.tar.bz2
and it should propagate shortly to the following mirrors (which will also host
the .bz2 versions):
ftp://ftp.sdsc.edu/pub/other/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.5.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.5.tar.gz
ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/publishing/tex/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.5.tar.gz

ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/vol/rzm0/lyx/stable/lyx-1.3.5.tar.gz
Prebuilt binaries (mainly rpms for linux distributions) should soon be
available at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.3.5/
If you already have the LyX 1.3.4 sources, you may want to apply one
of the following patches instead
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.3.5.gz
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/patch-1.3.5.bz2
If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.3.5, you may either
e-mail the LyX developers' 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,

Note that you can use the secnd argument of math maro definitions to
give any macro any visual appearance that's 'fakeable' by other math
constructs.

I have recently changed my mind about the difficulties to implement such
a thing and even know of a working implementation *cough*. However, I am
not sure how this approach translates from toy sized formulas to the
amount of formulas that may show up on a LyX screen. Idea is to have a
'line break inset' and extend the MathArray dim_ cache to a
vector linedims_, and handle 'line jumps' when 'drawing' such
a 'line break inset'. Conceptually not very hard, but costs at least 12
bytes for the vector 'wrapper' and around 12 + n x lines for the
dynamic part, i.e at least 28 more byte for _every_ math 'blue box', even for
those not using the feature. Of course, situation would improve if the
size cache were moved off the insets, which is also possible an
intented. But not today..

Probably more effort to implement as this requires support from the
frontend. The other solution is a 'pure core solution'.
