[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I really appreciate the start appendix, but why there is not end appendix ?
The appendix is not necessarly the end of the document, reference is
usually is.

list of content, references

[M. Helena Schlueter]

Hi
I clicked on add table of content, so lyx inserted me the table of 
content. There is though a problem I cannot figure out how to solve it. 
There should be double space between the chapter header and the section 
header, but it is single space. single space between the section headers 
is fine. Also the size of the letters should be larger.
for the references; i included the references though it is all double 
space, but it should be single space and the letters again larger.
Does anyone know what to change and how? i guess it must be set in the 
preamble.

thanks so much

lyx doc errors, problems running as non-admin on Windows etc.

[David Balazic]

Hi!

I downloaded LyX 1.3.7 for Windows.

After installing, when run for the first time as a normal user
(not member of the group Administrators) I got several error dialogs
about installing some packages, that I could only cancel. There were
about a dozen of then shown one after another. See the attached screenshot
named lyx_1_first_start.PNG.

After that, when trying to export a document into ASCII or PDF, it fails.
See pictures lyx_2_export_ASCII.PNG and lyx_3_export_PDF.PNG.

There are also some errors in the docs :

  Intro.lyx

2.1 The Format of the Manuals

You can go to the section the referred to by clicking the button labeled Go 
to reference.

There is no such button, only one labeled Goto.

Clicking on Go back or typing C- will take you back to your earlier 
location.

I don't see Go back anywhere. Where is it supposed to be ?
(later I see the Goto button changes to Go back, but I swear it did
not change the first time I clicked it)
Control- does not do anything. (in the document window)


Noun Style is used for people's names.

The names above (Donald Knuth and Leslie Lamport) were not written in this 
style.

LaTex error: undefinend key

[Jonathan Vogt]

Hi,
I have a problem with this error:
Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
It is repetative and shows up in all LyX versions and is not dependent on utf8 
or iso systems.

The really strange thing is that it keeps multipling itself every now and 
then. I started out with one error and as the document grew the number of 
keyboard character errors grew, too.

I too don't see any strange characters in the source nor in lyx itself.

Please help

When LyX is installed, the configuration script is run to set up a 
default (system-wide) configuration.  The first time you run LyX as a 
user, the configuration script is run again to set up your personal 
configuration.  Each time the script runs, it looks for a large number 
of LaTeX classes.  You appear to be using MiKTeX with the default 
setting for missing classes, so every time MiKTeX is asked for a class 
or style it does not have, it will pop up a message asking if you want 
to install the package (and, if so, from what source).  I've seen 
(rarely) the kind of message in your first PNG file, where the package 
name is blank, although I'm not sure what causes it.  In any case, I 
don't think you need to worry.  As long as you (or your system 
administrator) installs any LaTeX packages you need, this should not be 
a problem.  Of course, every time you reconfigure LyX, MiKTeX will 
bombard you with these dialogs, but you can just click Don't Install 
(or press D) for each.


After that, when trying to export a document into ASCII or PDF, it fails.
See pictures lyx_2_export_ASCII.PNG and lyx_3_export_PDF.PNG.



When you export a document, LyX generates a file of the desired format 
in the temp directory and then moves it to the directory containing the 
LyX file.  Usually this would be a directory you own, but in the 
snapshots you appear to be trying to export the Intro.lyx help document. 
 Since that document lives in a subdirectory of the LyX installation 
directory, LyX tries to put the exported files there, but you probably 
do not have write permissions to that directory.  Again, this should not 
be a problem for you in general, since your own documents will 
necessarily live in a directory where you do have write permissions.


To confirm this, try the following.  Use Help-Introduction to bring up 
the document, then File-Save As to save it in your home directory. 
Then try exporting.

Re: list of content, references

[Mack Kuo]

I'm new to Lyx, so these might not be elegant solutions.  Another Lyx
user helped me last week, so here is my attempt to pass on the favor.

--
To put a double space between chapter headings and section headings in the ToC:

Put in the preamble:
\usepackage{tocloft}

Put underneath your chapter titles (in the body of your text) in ERT (Ctrl-L):
\addtocontents{toc}{\vspace{0.35cm}\endgraf}

---

To change to single spacing in a section, put this in ERT (Ctrl-L)
before the section:
\begin{spacing}{1}

and then this in ERT after the section:
\end{spacing}



I don't know if this is the text you mean, but to change the chapter
heading text size, you will have to put something like this in the
preamble:

\chapterfont{\centering\normalfont\large\bfseries}

I hope this is helpful.

A "dirty" solution might be:

Text on first page
[Page break]
\thispagestyle{empty}
Empty page [Now change the color for "Empty page" to white]
[Page break]
Text after the empty page...

Hope this helps.

list of content, references

[M. Helena Schlueter]

Hi
I clicked on add table of content, so lyx inserted me the table of 
content. There is though a problem I cannot figure out how to solve it. 
There should be double space between the chapter header and the section 
header, but it is single space. single space between the section headers 
is fine. Also the size of the letters should be larger.
for the references; i included the references though it is all double 
space, but it should be single space and the letters again larger.
Does anyone know what to change and how? i guess it must be set in the 
preamble.

thanks so much

lyx doc errors, problems running as non-admin on Windows etc.

[David Balazic]

Hi!

I downloaded LyX 1.3.7 for Windows.

After installing, when run for the first time as a normal user
(not member of the group Administrators) I got several error dialogs
about installing some packages, that I could only cancel. There were
about a dozen of then shown one after another. See the attached screenshot
named lyx_1_first_start.PNG.

After that, when trying to export a document into ASCII or PDF, it fails.
See pictures lyx_2_export_ASCII.PNG and lyx_3_export_PDF.PNG.

There are also some errors in the docs :

  Intro.lyx

2.1 The Format of the Manuals

"You can go to the section the referred to by clicking the button labeled "Go 
to reference"."

There is no such button, only one labeled "Goto".

"Clicking on "Go back" or typing C-< will take you back to your earlier 
location."

I don't see "Go back" anywhere. Where is it supposed to be ?
(later I see the "Goto" button changes to "Go back", but I swear it did
not change the first time I clicked it)
Control-< does not do anything. (in the document window)


"Noun Style is used for people's names."

The names above (Donald Knuth and Leslie Lamport) were not written in this 
style.

David Balažic

PS: The OS used is MS Windows Server 2003 SP1 Enterprise edition (Trial)

[David Balazic]

1.) I forgot the screenshots, here they are

(strange I just downloaded 1.3.7 a few weeks ago)

David

LaTex error: undefinend key

[Jonathan Vogt]

Hi,
I have a problem with this error:
Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
It is repetative and shows up in all LyX versions and is not dependent on utf8 
or iso systems.

The really strange thing is that it keeps multipling itself every now and 
then. I started out with one error and as the document grew the number of 
keyboard character errors grew, too.

I too don't see any strange characters in the source nor in lyx itself.

Please help

cheers jonathan

When LyX is installed, the configuration script is run to set up a 
default (system-wide) configuration.  The first time you run LyX as a 
user, the configuration script is run again to set up your personal 
configuration.  Each time the script runs, it looks for a large number 
of LaTeX classes.  You appear to be using MiKTeX with the default 
setting for missing classes, so every time MiKTeX is asked for a class 
or style it does not have, it will pop up a message asking if you want 
to install the package (and, if so, from what source).  I've seen 
(rarely) the kind of message in your first PNG file, where the package 
name is blank, although I'm not sure what causes it.  In any case, I 
don't think you need to worry.  As long as you (or your system 
administrator) installs any LaTeX packages you need, this should not be 
a problem.  Of course, every time you reconfigure LyX, MiKTeX will 
bombard you with these dialogs, but you can just click "Don't Install" 
(or press D) for each.


After that, when trying to export a document into ASCII or PDF, it fails.
See pictures lyx_2_export_ASCII.PNG and lyx_3_export_PDF.PNG.



When you export a document, LyX generates a file of the desired format 
in the temp directory and then moves it to the directory containing the 
LyX file.  Usually this would be a directory you own, but in the 
snapshots you appear to be trying to export the Intro.lyx help document. 
 Since that document lives in a subdirectory of the LyX installation 
directory, LyX tries to put the exported files there, but you probably 
do not have write permissions to that directory.  Again, this should not 
be a problem for you in general, since your own documents will 
necessarily live in a directory where you do have write permissions.


To confirm this, try the following.  Use Help->Introduction to bring up 
the document, then File->Save As to save it in your home directory. 
Then try exporting.

Re: list of content, references

[Mack Kuo]

I'm new to Lyx, so these might not be elegant solutions.  Another Lyx
user helped me last week, so here is my attempt to pass on the favor.

--
To put a double space between chapter headings and section headings in the ToC:

Put in the preamble:
\usepackage{tocloft}

Put underneath your chapter titles (in the body of your text) in ERT (Ctrl-L):
\addtocontents{toc}{\vspace{0.35cm}\endgraf}

---

To change to single spacing in a section, put this in ERT (Ctrl-L)
before the section:
\begin{spacing}{1}

and then this in ERT after the section:
\end{spacing}



I don't know if this is the text you mean, but to change the chapter
heading text size, you will have to put something like this in the
preamble:

\chapterfont{\centering\normalfont\large\bfseries}

I hope this is helpful.

How to start page numbering from a different page than the 'first' page?

[Koen Verbeke]

Hi all,

I have a front page with the company's logo and all. So I would like to
have the page numbering started from page 2. Would anyone know how to
get this done please?

Cheers,
Koen
