Greek (and cyrillic) characters in latin text are not handled yet
automatically.* You best bet for now is probably to mark those characters
as greek (Edit-Text Style-Customized-Language) or to enclose them in
\greektext{}.

No, they're not.* It is still not clear how to handle them best.

Thanks for this hint, but it seems that it does not work. The
\setindexpreamble adds a preamble to the index entries, and the preamble
can be formatted, but this does not affect the index entries (at least
not in my document).
So you could write something like
\setindexpreamble{\small{How to use this index: foo}}
and it will appear before the entries, but the entries will be in normal
font again.
However, the method outlined in the Wiki works fine.

Lyx to word or lyx to html (to word)
Hi, How can I convert my lyx document to microsoft word (or html, which word reads?, or openoffice, which can be exported to rtf, which word reads)? These converters seem to be broken on Windows (still). I have lyx 1.4.4 with Miktex 2.5 which has htlatex. In the past I have succeeded in getting html from this setup using htlatex from the command line, but I can't seem to reproduce my success. I also have a linux box. Please point me to a working solution either in linux or windows. Miki
Re: How can I change the font size of index entries?
If you change the document class to scrbook (book KOMA-script), it stops working. Must be because articles in most cases don't have indices.

Is there a multiple LyX file search?
Hi all, I'm on a publisher's mailing list, and someone asked how to search a phrase in all WordPerfect files. I was about to write back and say Switch to LyX, when I realized we might not have any such facility either. The challenge in a LyX file, of course, is the fact that a phrase might or might not be split by a newline or a style. Does LyX have such a facility, either in the GUI menu, as a --option, or as a separate utility? If not, is it something that would be helpful? If so, would someone please volunteer to make it? I might be able to help. IIRC, I created a C language parsing tool in the late 80s. This parsing tool parses a stream of characters, not a bunch of lines. It searches only literal strings, no regex, and it's not perfect (might fail on something like Mississippi). IIRC this tool could comprise 1/2 of a program to search LyX file. IIRC I own the copyright to that tool, and if so, I would be glad to Opensource it using whatever open source license is preferred by the LyX project. I figure if I haven't made any money on this tool in 20 years, I probably never will, and might as well give it away :-) If it's decided this tool needs to be written, I see two components: 1) GUI or Curses program to acquire the phrase and a specification for the files to search, and output a list of files to search along with the search phrase. 2) The single file search program containing two components: a) Remove all styles and newlines, according to specification of LyX file b) Search a stream for a phrase (IIRC already written). So do we already have something? Thanks SteveT Steve Litt Author: Universal Troubleshooting Process books and courseware http://www.troubleshooters.com/

Greek (and cyrillic) characters in "latin" text are not handled yet
automatically.* You best bet for now is probably to mark those characters
as "greek" (Edit->Text Style->Customized->Language) or to enclose them in
\greektext{}.

No, they're not.* It is still not clear how to handle them best.
Jürgen
* if we're talking about real greek characters, that is. Characters like Ohm
are encoded differently and should be handled.

Thanks for this hint, but it seems that it does not work. The
\setindexpreamble adds a preamble to the index entries, and the preamble
can be formatted, but this does not affect the index entries (at least
not in my document).
So you could write something like
\setindexpreamble{\small{How to use this index: foo}}
and it will appear before the entries, but the entries will be in normal
font again.
However, the method outlined in the Wiki works fine.

Lyx to word or lyx to html (to word)
Hi, How can I convert my lyx document to microsoft word (or html, which word reads?, or openoffice, which can be exported to rtf, which word reads)? These converters seem to be broken on Windows (still). I have lyx 1.4.4 with Miktex 2.5 which has htlatex. In the past I have succeeded in getting html from this setup using htlatex from the command line, but I can't seem to reproduce my success. I also have a linux box. Please point me to a working solution either in linux or windows. Miki
Re: How can I change the font size of index entries?
If you change the document class to scrbook (book KOMA-script), it stops working. Must be because articles in most cases don't have indices. So it's likely that scrarticle comes without index specifications and you can set it any way you like. -- Christian Jürgen Spitzmüller wrote: Christian Liesen wrote: Thanks for this hint, but it seems that it does not work. works for me.

Re: Physical units
Concerning units, don't forget that there is only a hlaf space between number and units. A half space is produced in LyX with the shortcut "Ctrl-Shift Space" (menu Insert-> Formatting -> Thin space), see also the attached example. Thank you for clarifying! I did try the packages units/SIunits but then changed and used all units with a protected space after the numbers as recommended in the documentation. Could this be adapted in the documentation, please? In section 6.5.5 of the handbook of my package there's still recommended to use a proptected spaces between numbers and units: "A good documentation should not weigh more than 1 kg" I am still using 1.4.3 (Ubuntu) so maybe this has already been changed.

Every time I index a book, by the end of the day I feel like I've been working in the sewer all day, and really need to take a shower.

1.5.0 Release Candidate - Preamble question
I have just upgraded from 1.4.4 to 1.5.0 RC1 - Great.
I have a file created with 1.4.4 with following preamble statements to get
section prefixes in equation, algorithm and figure numbering:
.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\renewcommand{\theequation}{\thesection.\arabic{equation}}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\renewcommand{\thealgorithm}{\thesection.\arabic{algorithm}}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\thesection.\arabic{figure}}
\rfoot{Graham W. Griffiths}
\lfoot{\today}
.
When I open with 1.5.0 the preamble has been changed to:
.
LaTeX commands.
\floatstyle{ruled} ???
\newfloat{algorithm}{tbp}{loa} ???
\floatname{algorithm}{Algorithm}???
%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
%% User specified LaTeX commands.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\renewcommand{\theequation}{\thesection.\arabic{equation}}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\renewcommand{\thealgorithm}{\thesection.\arabic{algorithm}}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\thesection.\arabic{figure}}
\rfoot{Graham W. Griffiths}
\lfoot{\today}
\makeatother
..
I am new to LyX and Latex and would be grateful if someone could explain what
the new lines marked with ??? mean.
Also, is there any documentation that I should read that explains how best to
use preamble?
Thanks
Is there a multiple LyX file search?
Hi all, I'm on a publisher's mailing list, and someone asked how to search a phrase in all WordPerfect files. I was about to write back and say "Switch to LyX", when I realized we might not have any such facility either. The challenge in a LyX file, of course, is the fact that a phrase might or might not be split by a newline or a style. Does LyX have such a facility, either in the GUI menu, as a --option, or as a separate utility? If not, is it something that would be helpful? If so, would someone please volunteer to make it? I might be able to help. IIRC, I created a C language parsing tool in the late 80s. This parsing tool parses a stream of characters, not a bunch of lines. It searches only literal strings, no regex, and it's not perfect (might fail on something like Mississippi). IIRC this tool could comprise 1/2 of a program to search LyX file. IIRC I own the copyright to that tool, and if so, I would be glad to Opensource it using whatever open source license is preferred by the LyX project. I figure if I haven't made any money on this tool in 20 years, I probably never will, and might as well give it away :-) If it's decided this tool needs to be written, I see two components: 1) GUI or Curses program to acquire the phrase and a specification for the files to search, and output a list of files to search along with the search phrase. 2) The single file search program containing two components: a) Remove all styles and newlines, according to specification of LyX file b) Search a stream for a phrase (IIRC already written). So do we already have something? Thanks SteveT Steve Litt Author: Universal Troubleshooting Process books and courseware http://www.troubleshooters.com/
Handy list: The LaTeX2e Cheat Sheet
Hi, Winston Chang has published a handy reference sheet on frequently used LaTeX commands. It can be found here: http://www.stdout.org/~winston/latex/latexsheet.pdf I've been using it for some time now and happen to like it a lot as a supplement when working with LyX ... I thought it couldn't hurt to put it on the list. -- Christian P.S.: The sheet has of course nothing at all to do with cheating (how could it anyway?), that's purely tongue-in-cheek.

Coloured separators, Romanic/Arabic sections
Hi, I'm quite new to LyX and wanted to add a coloured foot notes/header separator to the 'book' layout (koma-script). Anyone has an idea how to do that? Another thing I wanted to change is, using Romanic numbers for the list of figures and the bibliography. How can I do that? Thanks in advance, Robert

It went well except a table that was not converted and that I retyped. There is a small problem with superscripts in footnotes. I've also discovered that OpenWriter cannot search and replace normal spaces by unbreakable spaces. I would recommend tex4ht (oolatex) if you have footnotes and a BibTeX bibliography. Cheers, Charles
