Re: failed import of latex doc (relyx produces something that causes lyx2lyx to hang)
It suffices to place a file lyx2lyx.cmd containing @ \python \share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx %* into the /lyx/share/lyx/lyx2lyx You can use Ruurd Reitsma's python - no "proper" python needed for this. I have put this on the WiKi. Ekkehart

Re: Incorporating PSTricks Figures in a Document
This thread is making me feel too stupid. I don't really care how pdf
output gets created, I'm happy to use any of the methods you recommend.
In fact, sometimes I can't make it work in lyx but the script
"tex2pdf" does what I need. But I now notice it calls pdflatex, and so
the pstricks do not display.
I have Paul's example of a pstrick in lyx. If I want to process that
through pdflatex, you say I need ps4pdf. But I can't understand how it
is supposed to work. I downloaded ps4pdf.sty and the script ps4pdf, put
the former in my latex distro (ran texhash) and put the script in the
path (after making it executable).
Now, what magical incantation is needed to take the lyx doc with the
pstricks in it into pdflatex?

Do not desperate, Paul! :-) My example works as it is, as long as you choose PostScript output (View --> Postscript). To get as an output a pdf file, you need to do some minor modifications, similarly to the following examples: http://www.perce.de/LaTeX/ps4pdf/Examples/ (This address was mentioned before.)

Sorry. It worked well for me. I have just converted an entire book from
rtf to tex (via rtf2latex2e.exe) and imported it successfully into Lyx -
with some
minor drawbacks regarding graphics. I have the same converter
instruction and the same OS and LyX version that you have noted.
To identify the problem, so that the WiKi entry can be corrected:
Could you just create a lyx file with some text in it ("Hallo World")
and export it to LaTeX and then import it to LyX? Could you just tell me
whether this works?
I have a "full" python on my computer and simply tried (by renaming) to
hide it and use Ruurd's python. This worked for me. Maybe we need the
"full" python and delete the python.exe in Ruurd's distribution. This would
be the next step to try.
I think that LaTeX export and import are /absolutely /essential.

Not difficult, really. I have just managed to do that.

insert ERT \hspace*{\parindent} befor the first line

An empty ERT + pressing the return key works as well.

It requires features that AFAIK were only added to cmd.exe in XP, so it probably won't work with older versions of Windows. Create a file named "loadlyx.cmd" in the lyx/bin directory or somewhere else appropriate (eg in a "tools" directory on your path), containing: @path c:\programs\lyx\bin;%path% for /f "usebackq" %%a in (`echo %1 ^| tr \\ /`) do lyx %%a Substitute your LyX installation directory for "c:\programs\lyx". (If the LyX bin directory is already in your path, you can skip the path command, but if you have other tr implementations in your path before the LyX one, you may have to fiddle with the backquoted command string, as some of them handle backslash escapes differently.) Then associate your LyX file extension (.lyx or whatever) with loadlyx.cmd. loadlyx converts backslashes to forward slashes on the lyx command line, fixing the problem with exports. Looking at this now, it looks like it won't handle spacy names correctly. It should be possible to fix that by making sure the name is quoted when it's passed to loadlyx, and setting the "delim" option in the for command. Left as an exercise for the reader, unless I get around to writing a followup. -- Michael Wojcik

Strangely enough, texhash does not allow me to recognize ps4pdf.sty whether I put it in the root texmf tree or the local texmf tree. Any advice on that? thanks and regards samar >
Re: Dead keys problem, v. 1.3.5 Spanish accents
I don't have luck getting the compose key to work on my FC3 systems either. For me it is a matter of keyboard setup and compose key not working well with other elements. However, in the online Lyx reference manual, I find I can get the symbols with accents in another way http://www.fnal.gov/docs/products/lyx/Reference.tex.html Section 3.3.1 show how to get all manner of special characters. In the "command" slot at the bottom of lyx, type "accent-acute" and hit enter, then the next letter you hit will appear with the acute. I THINK this works fine for me. indy wrote: Hi, I'm using Lyx under Fedora Core 3. I have a problem with dead keys. I need write accents but this is not posible with my version. Example: á see like 'a in Lyx. I'm reading there is a problem with qt, but I no found any solution. How can I solve it? thanks! -- Paul E.
