The devanagari package is to blame. If you comment that out, the error 
disappears. Maybe some conflict between devanagari and natbib?

Re: eps images not displayed

After the suggestion of Uwe Stöhr, about an incorrect installation of

Actually, I think LyX would convert the EPS image to PPM format for 
dislay in the GUI, but probably that also works.



I work with Windows XP.
Some suggestion to repair the problem?


First off, does it only happen with EPS images, or with other kinds of 
images as well?


Second, you might try opening a DOS window and running lyxc.exe (not 
lyx.exe) with the option '-dbg graphics'.  Start a new document, make a 
mental note of the latest line of text in the debug output (everything 
above that is irrelevant) and insert an EPS image.  Hopefully the 
additional debug output starting when you insert the image reveals 
something.

problem new version of LyX

[Margaret Wojcicki]

Hi,

I have been using the previous version of LyX (1.3.6) up until recently when
LyX 1.4.4 was installed.  I am running into some issues that I did not have
before when getting a PDF (or any other type of file) from the source.  The
document is made up of a master document and chapter documents included in
the master.  I have been using particular layouts that meet my thesis
requirements.

The problem is that the resulting PDF does not perform page breaks properly.
The pages continue to be written all the way to the bottom and some text is
lost.  I have tried to adjust the document settings margins (the bottom
field) to no effect.  When I adjust the size of the page it only prints the
complete pages to PDF when I make the height of the page 350 mm which is not
solution to my problem.

If anyone has run into the same problem or has any ideas on how it can be
resolved, please let me know.

Many thanks,
Maggie

LaTeX has a tabbing environment but it is not directly supported by LyX,
so you will have to use some ERT. Have a look at the .lyx file appended
at the end (you will have to copy and paste it as I cannot attach files).

The first line after \begin{tabbing} sets the tab stops.
Each line is ended by \\ and you go to the next tab stop by \>.
I used hard spaces (control+space) for visual alignment in LyX but they
are simply ignored in the output (one space is the same as one thousand).
Have a look at a LaTeX book for other commands other than \>.

having problems with a bibtex file made with jabref and plain lyx settings

[Stacia Hartleben]

Hi, I'm attaching two files which cause some weird errors for me:

Paragraph ended before org@@citex was complete.
Begin quote on line 44 ended by end document.

It looks like a bracket is misplaced, but I haven't done anything
dodgy, just normally used Jabref and LyX (although I did put the
bibtex titles in brackets for a while, but I changed that). Can
someone please tell me what's going wrong?

My impression is that the "no room for a new \write" has something to do 
with the number of output streams or file handles open, so I doubt it's 
connected to the label width argument.  It might be connected to having 
separate reference pages for each chapter (?).  I don't know what the 
work-around would be, though (other than a shorter document :-)).

It looks to me as though the error is being produced by bibliography 
handling in LyX (I could, of course, be utterly wrong). I'm approaching 100 
references being cited. Though each chapter has its separate reference page, I 
think that the entire set of references is probably processed at the same time 
at least once. LyX pops up a "\begin{thebibliography}{10}" error along with the 
"no room for a new \write" one.  I don't have to comment out entire sections 
any more to get the whole thing to compile; just commenting out select 
bibliographies works too.  Could it be that the "widest-label" argument to the 
\begin{thebibliography} command (which is now 10) is causing the problem?
If that's the case, can I change it in LyX?

   Best wishes,

Hi Curtis,

I can't answer your question, and am not familiar with your specific error 
message, but if you can't find it, here's how I'd approach the problem...

I'd start by exporting to LaTeX, compiling to dvi, and see if it still 
happens. If not, inspect what LyX is doing differently. If it still occurs, 
save a copy of the LaTeX file for further experimentation, and continue.

I'd remove almost all the body, titlepage, etc, leaving just a sentence of 
standard environment text. Does it still occur? If so you're right, it's 
probably a packages thing -- remove packages.

If eliminating the body removes the symptom, put back half the body. If the 
symptom comes back, remove half of that half. Keep half splitting the thing 
until you find a sentence, phrase, ERT or whatever that can toggle the 
symptom. Then try to reduce the document body to just that sentence, phrase, 
ERT or whatever. At that point the problem will probably be obvious.

The reason I suggested exporting to LaTeX is so you don't need to include LyX 
in your change/compile/observe cycle, and if you change your layout file you 
don't need to reconfigure and exit from LyX. 

Like I said, you may solve it before needing to resort to any of this, but 
IMHO that's your backup plan, and I'm sure it will work.

Thanks for your response, Steve, and the good advice. Most of it I'd tried 
already, of course  :-)



What's really frustrating is that this error is what I'd call a
problem of the whole, rather than the parts. I can go through my
document and successively comment out different portions, and things
work fine. It's when everything is called together that the error crops
up (it's apparently a fundamental limitation in the way TeX was
originally written, and there's not  any really tricky way around it
other that's not tremendously painful, as far as I can tell).



I'll keep hacking away. Too bad my dissertation is due in a couple of days!



  Thanks all.

Well, yes I had read this already. My problem was that I never got it

math environment just switches back, so I get literally @ in my text.


I agree that inserting IPA chars is quite incovenient if you do this  
with the normal character palette in OSX. But you have nice and nice  
working helper palettes like . With this  
free app you get an IPA chart where you just click on the symbols and  
they are inserted in the currently chosen application.
While this works fine with all editors I know, Lyx accepts only  
characters like e i ç and so on. Schwas and others are simply ignored  
(nothing happens).
I think it would be really useful to get pasting into Lyx working and  
I'd really like to contribute if I can (compiling apps is really

fnsymbols

[Phillip Endicott]

Hi

I just finished my first ever manuscript in LyX and the only problem I could 
not work out was how to add a symbol to my name (1 of nine authors) AND make 
that symbol appear at the foot of the page. I can make it do it in a standard 
environment using footnotmark and footnotetext but in the Author environment it 
appears as a symbol in by my name and as a number at the foot of the page. 

I have read the Lamport book back to front but cannot figure out what I n3eed 
to do different in the Author enviroment. 

Othewise, very happy indeed with my foray into LaTeX/LyX and never want to see 
another Office program again as long as I live.

Advice gratefully received, hopefully before the final submission :)

If that was in the manual, I missed it. It mentions having to do a

I'm just guessing here, but it might be that the classes weren't available
