No line break after paragraph heading
Hello I've noticed a strange behaviour in Lyx 1.3.6 (teTex-texmf-3.0): I selected paragraph, entered the paragraph heading and hit return to enter the paragraph content. Lyx shows me something like this: Paragraph heading Paragraph content ... If I look at the dvi or the pdf output the linebreak between heading and content is gone, it looks roughly like the following: Paragraph heading paragraph content ... What do I need to change so I get the linebreak? I'd prefer to not enter the linebreeak by hand for every paragraph... Thanks! Christoph -- During the time an item is on back-order, it will be available cheaper and quicker from many other sources.

Thanks, -- Carlos Fernando Knauer It is supposed to be installed/created automatically. I decided to test LyX 1.3.7pre2 (25 October 2005, 6.6MB) (for Windows XP) and so uninstalled LyX 1.3.6 and there was an error message during the install that the configure script failed to finish. I also had the start LyX box ticked. So after ok'ing the configure script error message LyX tried to start but failed with: couldn't find textclass.lst sorry has to exit. I've seen that error message in the past. But not with the stable version LyX 1.3.6 for Windows or Fedora Core. The Windows pre lyx 1.3.6 once had textclass.lst problems 8Jun/05: Run the configure script from the installer in blocking fashion, so a.. that the user knows what is going on. This also means that LyX a.. can now be launched successfully from the installer because textclass.lst will now be generated in time. Maybe this isn't close to your problem situation. This is the url of the mailing lists which are archived (also a developer list): http://www.lyx.org/internet/mailing.php In particular lyx-users has a new archive http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/ This link features a search window pane and if you insert textclass.lst into the search window you will find many hits one of which may match your problem. There is not just one reason why one inquires about textclass.lst or just one solution. For instance you might not have the helper app, Minsys, installed or some test releases don't allow installion to a non-default directory. So more details need to be provided.

It's still a little kludgy in places but basically should work well enough if you install preview.sty from your MiKTeX package manager. The script is written in Python so you'll also need Python installed. But, I guess you do already... The script simply calls latex, dvips gs and optionally, one or two of the netpbm utilities; have a look at scripts/lyxpreview2bitmap.py in the LyX support directory. Regards, Angus

updating postscript file, but not eepic picture
Hi. I have a LyX (1.3.6) file that contains a reference to an eepic file that is be included with \input command. That works, but when I change in the eepic file, the LyX files preview is not updataed, even though I use update postscript/ view postscript and reloads the postscript file. What can I do to fix this problem?

multiinclude with beamer
Hi! I desperately need to include some animation. I tried the multiinclude as in the Beamer's users guide but I got a file corrupted message with acroread (7.0). Any ideas?

unusual contents found?!?!
Dear List, Although this is not affecting my typeset or any of my works with lyx.. but I am curious to know of a warning I receive from the console whenever I try opening my lyx document with the Qt port for windows lyx 1.3.5 .. I get the following in the console ... unusual contents found: [char 0 mathalpha] not a dibseciton bddraw = 0 not a dibseciton bddraw = 0 what would all these mean?

Re: Links Within Documents

Better use the LyX menu Export -> PDF(pdflatex). That's simply not true. Have you really tried it? Tex2pdf is just a wrapper script for pdflatex and some auxiliary tools (image conversion, hyperref, pdfthumb etc.). It asks you (if you call tex2pdf --config), amongst other things, if you want to use hyperref, what colors the links should have, if you want thumbnails etc. Those settings will automatically be used if you export via tex2pdf. I find it quite useful. Sorry, I was too rash then. I tested tex2pdf some time ago and had much trouble with it (under Win). I'll test it out again. thanks and regards Uwe

The steps can be summarized as follows: 1) Go to math mode (inline formula or display formula) 2) Type \mbox and then a press carriage return or the spacebar 3) The text "\mbox" disappear and a box appears 4) Type the equation inside the box Note that if you'd like a frame around your equation, you can use "fbox" instead of "mbox". - cheers /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
No line break after paragraph heading
Hello I've noticed a strange behaviour in Lyx 1.3.6 (teTex-texmf-3.0): I selected paragraph, entered the paragraph heading and hit return to enter the paragraph content. Lyx shows me something like this: Paragraph heading Paragraph content ... If I look at the dvi or the pdf output the linebreak between heading and content is gone, it looks roughly like the following: Paragraph heading paragraph content ... What do I need to change so I get the linebreak? I'd prefer to not enter the linebreeak by hand for every paragraph... Thanks! Christoph -- During the time an item is on back-order, it will be available cheaper and quicker from many other sources.

What I'd need is a sub-subsubsection and I thought that is a paragraph. I want a title diffrent from Section/Subsection/Subsubsection (a level 4 title if one can call it like that). Of course the title should be above the text it belongs to. Hope I you know what I mean :). Christoph

I usually kludge it by using a matrix. The only problem with that is that labels on the arrows need to be finagled to keep the arrow aligned (for a horizontal arrow, put a 3x1 submatrix in with the arrow in the center, the label on top, and a blank below). This will be somewhat short of "full glory"; for that you would, I presume, have to do it all in ERT. -- David L.

Re: Is this possible with lyx?
MY PROCEDURE FOR DUMMIES WAS WRONG, SORRY The problem comes from the fact that within the box generated with the \fbox command you are back to the text environment, hence to type equations, once you are inside the box, you have to insert an online formula HOW TO PUT A BOX AROUND AN EQUATION Resume for dummies n. 2, hopefully the right one: 1) go to math mode with the command INSERT --> MATH --> DISPLAY FORMULA 2) type \fbox (visible box) and then a press carriage return or the spacebar 3) the text "\fbox" disappear and a framed box appears 4) put the cursor inside the box (WARNING, YOU ARE IN TEXT MODE NOW!!) 5) go again to math mode with the command INSERT --> MATH --> INLINE FORMULA 6) type the equation there inside 7) eventually apply equation number as usual As a comment, 1) the box reduces the height of the equation, I don't know why, but this seems to be a feature of Latex, not of Lyx 2) if you need the eqnarray environment within the box you are in troubles, it seems it does not work.
