When you install LyX using this installer:

all LaTeX-packages needed by LyX are automatically installed. All you

install LyX.


The standard installer does the same thing. Try Tools > Reconfigure and 
MiKTeX should try to download it again.

  "Reconfigure" is internal to LyX. You also need to let LaTeX/TeX know that
you've added styles. Run /usr/share/texmf/bin/texhash (or wherever Ubuntu
puts texhash) as root, then reconfigure LyX. You should see Memoir after
this.

Re: Overfull line after embedded URL

You could try putting \linebreak[n] in ERT where you want the break, where

higher numbers reflect stronger suggestions (and 4 means "the Godfather
wants you should break it here").  According to Kopka & Daly 2nd edition,
\linebreak with no argument forces a line break (equivalent to [4]?).  The
line that breaks will be justified.


Paul,

  For the record, there's another way, too. I had one line that was all URL
and it stuck out into the right margin. By embedding the entire \url{}
string in \small{}, it fit on the line.

  I don't know why that URL did not split just prior to '.pdf', but it
didn't.

That's a very old version, which is not compatible with the latest PDF

pstricks et mzlatex

[camus . philippe]

Hi !
Has someone a trick to make tex4ht (mzlatex) work properly with pstricks figures
?
It seems to produce some png from the pstricks, but the png pictures just show a
tiny part of the original picture !

Can you open the produced PDF-file with GSview or another PDF-viewer?

If nothing helps, I recommend a clean reinstallation of LyX and its components like the 
LaTeX-distribution MiKTeX:


- uninstall MiKTeX _completely_
- uninstall LyX
- open an internet connection
- reinstall LyX 1.5.3 using the complete version of this installer:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller

It might take a while until everything is ready, but then it should work.

aspell on ubuntu with LyX

Hey guys, I am running into difficulty getting aspell working under

couldn't find anything on the Wiki.

Just to say that exactly the same has just happened to me -- it does
look to me as if there's a problem with the web installer.

Re: [announce] new LyX manual about math

[Antonio José Guirao Sánchez]

Hello again,

I have erase everything in the file. This is I have only an empty lyx 
file with their properties (preamble and so on). I can export without 
any problem to dvi, ps and pdf. However the pdf file is not readable. 
Moreover, some graphs are not correctly exported to dvi and ps (these 
are the same for both formats and all of them are inside ../images/math ).


The first thing I have told induces me to suspect that the problem is 
that something with the preamble make my acrobat become crazy (Acrobat 
reader 5.0). Maybe that in the preamble the file use ifpdf package (but, 
of course, I am not sure).


The problem with graphics should be different, maybe my converter is old 
and makes a mistake while is converting these pictures.


I want to thank your help (Everybody) and the supply of the acrobat file.

I would like to compile it without problems because this will make 
deeper my knowledge of lyx.


Thanks again.

So my suggestion would be to remove the xmp figure and try again.

I gather your Linux setup uses the KDE desktop?  If you have kdvi 
installed, that's a reasonable choice.  If you have Okular, that's also 
a reasonable choice.

new Lyx manual about math

[William O. Bray]

I down loaded Math.lyx, put in in /usr/local/share/lyx/doc (Linux box), 
downloaded the extra image listed below, opened Math.lyx in Lyx and ran 
pdflatex. Worked like a charm.



Hello,

I have tried with dvi and ps and it works. It is something about pdf. I 
have tried also to export pdf with pdflatex. And I obtain a pdf file 
with 362 kb but when i try to reopen i obtain the same mistake.

What were the problematic images?

I forgot in my original announcement that you have to download this 
image too to be able to compile it:

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg61505.html

After that i can use view-pdf. In spite of the fact that lyx seems to 
compile, when acrobat reader opens, then acrobat tell me that my file 
is corrupted or has an error. It says literally: "There was an error 
opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."


Oh, this is strange. I never had this case, also not with other LyX 
documents. Can you open the PDF when you export it first to PDF using 
pdflatex?

You can either copy the drawing to the clipboard or save it as EMF, then 
use this tool for the conversion.

Not for EPS, but to get PDF images: When you have Acrobat installed, then simply go to the print 
option and print your image as PDF. Afterwards crop the PDF image within Acrobat using the "remove 
whitespace" option in its crop dialog.

When you don't have Acrobat, install a PDF printer like e.g. PDFCreator to get 
the PDF.
