How to get starred titles in the TOC

[sugen]

Hello,

I'm using the apa layout. It has no part environment, but only the
starred versions part*, which means the parts are not numbered in
the text (same for sections/subsections). That's ok, it's a
requirement of the APA article style.

However, I would like to have a table of contents. I have tried to
redefine the part* command so that it includes an entry in the TOC.
I've put the following in the preamble:


\let\oldpart\part*

\renewcommand{\part*}[1]{
 \oldpart{#1}
 \addcontentsline{toc}{part}{#1}
}


This gives me errors, the first of which being:


You can't use `macro parameter character #' in horizontal mode.
 \contentsline {part}{1}{1}


I have the impression this trick works fine if I try to redefine a
non-starred command, like  part or section, but it fails for the
starred versions part* and section*.

What am I doing wrong ? Is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks,
Sonja

problem compiling on x86_64 (Slamd64)

[Nathan Becker]

I'm having trouble compiling LyX 1.3.6 on an AMD64 machine.  For some 
reason LyX is looking in the /usr/lib directory for some libraries even 
though all environment variables point it to /usr/lib64


Here is the error message:
/usr/lib/libGL.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format

It should be trying to use /usr/lib64/libGL.so

The library path is set appropriately in the Makefile.

Thanks for your help.

Problem with incorporation of subparts

[S. Teletchéa]

I'm writing down my PhD (well finishing today or tomorrow if you can 
help me) and i'm encountering a problem


I've made a file where all my chapters are incorporated (using 
'incorporation').


Each incorporated file begin with Part + some chapters

When i incorporate all of them, parts are well numbered but chapters are 
never reinitialized. Any idea why ?


I have :

Part 1
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Part 2
Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Part 3
Chapter 6
...
and so on...

I'll need :
Part 1
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Part 2
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Part 3
Chapter 1
...

I'm using Mandrake Linux 10.1 Official :
lyx-1.3.4-5mdk

Thanks in advance for any help.

Note that if i only use 'chapter' (no Part) the numbering is ok (but i 
presume it is a side effect).

Problem viewing PDFs

[Gustavo Guerra]

Hi there

I just installed LyX 1.3.6 for Windows.
When I select View-PDF (any of the three versions), acrobat reader gives an
error saying that it can't open the document. The file is generated in the
temp dir, but probably the path is being passed wrong. How can I fix it?
Thanks

Best regards,
Gustavo Guerra

PS: With this new instaler, I still have to install the fonts given on the
wiki site(ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/BaKoMa4LyX.zip), or does the
installer include them.

Firstly the fonts, yes you do have to install them seperately.

Secondly with the pdf problem. Is Acrobat open at the time, if so close it, 
then select view pdf.

I'm not sure why the chapter counter is not being reset -- it may be 
dependent on the class you are using -- but for a workaround try adding 
the following to the preamble of the master document:

Thanks for the tip
i've been helped on irc:
\setcounter{chapter}{0}

I need to include it on every incorporated file but it works.

If i revise my manuscript, i'll try your answer.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer, i hope it'll help someone else :-)

Extra comma in index?

[Kevin Pfeiffer]

The index that is generated (using Koma-script) looks like this:

Washington, George, 22, 25--27, 152, 170

The comma between the name and the first page reference looks odd to me. 
Is there a way to remove it or should I just get used to it??

First set Layout-Document-Layout-Page style to Fancy, then in the

Change \rhead to \lhead or \chead to put it in the left corner or center

Windows does not handle pipes very well, certainly not as well as Unix 
and its derivatives do.  I'm inclined to blame Windows rather than 
Acrobat Reader.


There's a workaround of sorts.  Manually edit your preferences file 
(should be in C:\Documents and Settings\your login id\Application 
Data\lyx), adding the following line:


\custom_export_command acrord32 $$FName

This assumes that you have the path to Acrobat Reader on LyX's path 
prefix.  Close and restart LyX if it is open when you make the change. 
Now instead of using View-PDF (or either of the PDF alternatives), use 
File-Export-Custom, pick the PDF format you want, and click ok.  The 
export command should already be filled in.  For whatever reason, this 
can display the document in an already running copy of Acrobat Reader.


One thing this does not fix:  there is no way to use View-Update-PDF 
to view changes while the previous version of the document is open in 
Reader. Again, I think the fault lies with Windows: while you're 
displaying the previous version, Windows puts a read lock on the file in 
the temp directory, so the updated version (which uses the same file 
name) cannot overwrite it.

How to get starred titles in the TOC

[sugen]

Hello,

I'm using the apa layout. It has no "part" environment, but only the
starred versions "part*", which means the parts are not numbered in
the text (same for sections/subsections). That's ok, it's a
requirement of the APA article style.

However, I would like to have a table of contents. I have tried to
redefine the "part*" command so that it includes an entry in the TOC.
I've put the following in the preamble:


\let\oldpart\part*

\renewcommand{\part*}[1]{
 \oldpart{#1}
 \addcontentsline{toc}{part}{#1}
}


This gives me errors, the first of which being:


You can't use `macro parameter character #' in horizontal mode.
 \contentsline {part}{1}{1}


I have the impression this trick works fine if I try to redefine a
non-starred command, like  "part" or "section", but it fails for the
starred versions "part*" and "section*".

What am I doing wrong ? Is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks,
Sonja

problem compiling on x86_64 (Slamd64)

[Nathan Becker]

I'm having trouble compiling LyX 1.3.6 on an AMD64 machine.  For some 
reason LyX is looking in the /usr/lib directory for some libraries even 
though all environment variables point it to /usr/lib64


Here is the error message:
/usr/lib/libGL.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format

It should be trying to use /usr/lib64/libGL.so

The library path is set appropriately in the Makefile.

Thanks for your help.

Problem with incorporation of subparts

[S. Teletchéa]

I'm writing down my PhD (well finishing today or tomorrow if you can 
help me) and i'm encountering a problem


I've made a file where all my chapters are incorporated (using 
'incorporation').


Each incorporated file begin with Part + some chapters

When i incorporate all of them, parts are well numbered but chapters are 
never reinitialized. Any idea why ?


I have :

Part 1
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Part 2
Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Part 3
Chapter 6
...
and so on...

I'll need :
Part 1
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Part 2
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Part 3
Chapter 1
...

I'm using Mandrake Linux 10.1 Official :
lyx-1.3.4-5mdk

Thanks in advance for any help.

Note that if i only use 'chapter' (no Part) the numbering is ok (but i 
presume it is a side effect).

Problem viewing PDFs

[Gustavo Guerra]

Hi there

I just installed LyX 1.3.6 for Windows.
When I select View->PDF (any of the three versions), acrobat reader gives an
error saying that it can't open the document. The file is generated in the
temp dir, but probably the path is being passed wrong. How can I fix it?
Thanks

Best regards,
Gustavo Guerra

PS: With this new instaler, I still have to install the fonts given on the
wiki site(ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/BaKoMa4LyX.zip), or does the
installer include them.

Firstly the fonts, yes you do have to install them seperately.

Secondly with the pdf problem. Is Acrobat open at the time, if so close it, 
then select view pdf.

I'm not sure why the chapter counter is not being reset -- it may be 
dependent on the class you are using -- but for a workaround try adding 
the following to the preamble of the master document:

Thanks for the tip
i've been helped on irc:
\setcounter{chapter}{0}

I need to include it on every incorporated file but it works.

If i revise my manuscript, i'll try your answer.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer, i hope it'll help someone else :-)

Click on the image and a grey Graphics box pops up.

Extra comma in index?

[Kevin Pfeiffer]

The index that is generated (using Koma-script) looks like this:

Washington, George, 22, 25--27, 152, 170

The comma between the name and the first page reference looks odd to me. 
Is there a way to remove it or should I just get used to it??

Yes, closing acrobat first solves the problem. Thanks.
It's still a weird behaviour, though, having to keep closing acrobat. Is it 
a bug in acrobat?

First set Layout->Document->Layout->Page style to Fancy, then in the 
preamble add \rhead{\thepage} to put it in the upper right corner. 
Change \rhead to \lhead or \chead to put it in the left corner or center 
respectively.  You can also embellish it (for instance, 
\rhead{-\thepage-} to add a dash on either side).


This won't apply to a title page, though.

Windows does not handle pipes very well, certainly not as well as Unix 
and its derivatives do.  I'm inclined to blame Windows rather than 
Acrobat Reader.


There's a workaround of sorts.  Manually edit your preferences file 
(should be in C:\Documents and Settings\\Application 
Data\lyx), adding the following line:


\custom_export_command "acrord32 $$FName"

This assumes that you have the path to Acrobat Reader on LyX's path 
prefix.  Close and restart LyX if it is open when you make the change. 
Now instead of using View->PDF (or either of the PDF alternatives), use 
File->Export->Custom, pick the PDF format you want, and click ok.  The 
export command should already be filled in.  For whatever reason, this 
can display the document in an already running copy of Acrobat Reader.


One thing this does not fix:  there is no way to use View->Update->PDF 
to view changes while the previous version of the document is open in 
Reader. Again, I think the fault lies with Windows: while you're 
displaying the previous version, Windows puts a read lock on the file in 
the temp directory, so the updated version (which uses the same file 
name) cannot overwrite it.
