Re: Cross-reference after changing enumerate

\renewcommand{\labelenumiv}{\alph{enumiv}.)}

The enumerated list looks great, but when I want to cross-reference one
of the points, the label does not coincide with the new numbering

HI, Peter.
I'm also use windows XP, and Lyx 1.6.0.
I tested it. I think you have forgot setting the document profile to
support cross reference.
menu-document setting-PDF properties-*Use hyperref support*.
If this is enabled. In my computer, your problem can be solved.
Good Luck!

Re: use of xcolor in LyX
Hi all,
sorry for having sent my suggestion about how to define the url color just
to Nikos and not to the list. This was because I forgot to use Reply all.
I use \usepackage[usenames]{color} and the hyperref package with the
article class so I wasn't aware about the conflicts between the hyperref
package and the koma-script book class which Nikos has noticed. I couldn't
provide any further advice about that but maybe the Koma script manual gives
some useful suggestion.

Hi!
I tried to follow your suggestion but I get some error messages. (I'll

the error messages had to do with the hyperef package being already used

Re: Lyx 1.6 on ubuntu 8.04
Original-Nachricht Datum: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 21:14:35 + Von: Graham Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Betreff: Re: Lyx 1.6 on ubuntu 8.04 Paul Will this result in all packages being updated through the deb repository rather than the Ubuntu repository? Or does the sid bit restrict it to the Lyx files. No, SID doesn't restrict it to LyX, and you're right in not wanting to update other stuff from there. The trick is to enable the Debian SID repository (it will automatically be enabled when you first enter it), use Synaptic to install LyX (ignoring any messages to the effect that you have updates for 2,387 packages available), then go back into Sources (or Settings - Repositories from within Synaptic) and disable the mirror (but leave it defined, in case you need it again). If the you have updates bug is still displaying, use the Reload button in Synaptic to refresh the package list. Thanks again :-) Graham Hm, I don't think it's a good idea to use a sid repository in ubuntu, especially not in the older 8.04. There happen to be backports for LyX at getdeb: http://www.getdeb.net/app/LyX However, it's still rc3 for hardy there. Well, if you like them you could also use the packages I have been building and linking in the LyX Wiki for some time now. They are not checkinstall packages but packaged by hand and they also pull in a reasonable set of dependencies: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Download (feel free to comment on those here anyway) Phil

This seems like a bug. In fact, from what I can tell, font-ital never does anything in the current code. I'm using font-emph for now, as you suggested. But I'm not sure whether font-ital and font-emph have the same meaning. It doesn't matter to me since both font styles result in the text being set in the same italic font when using pdflatex output, but maybe for other output formats different fonts are used. font-emph produces emphasis, whatever the existing font. Exactly what it does is determined by LaTeX. So emphasizing something emphasized makes sense. font-ital just turns on italics. You can italicize what's already italicized. Richard

Re: Bad PDF generated from LyX
Never mind. The problem appears to be caused by the binary encoding format I selected. I selected ASCII encoding the problem has disappeared. Btw, for anyone who includes screenshots in their documents, enabling Image Interpolation in Photoshop EPS conversion will create a much better looking PDF file. Including bitmap files directly will lead to very fuzzy results when the PDF display resolution does not match the native capture resolution of the screenshot.

The user-customized preamble is put into the doctype declaration, too--I don't really consider this a bug, but I was a little surprised to find it in the output. LyX is also a few revisions behind in its DocBook support, at least according to the doctype (I think 4.4 is the last 4.x revision, and 5.x is current; the generated XML says that it's using 4.2). I've used both the sgmltools package and the sgml2x package.

navigating to a graphic float
With LyX 1.6 on Debian. Whenever I want to navigate to a figure float (from both, the NavigateList of figures and via the go-to-mark button from the insert cross-reference dialogue), I land somewhat below the figure. In longer documents with a lot of figures, the position is off more than a screen-hight (up to 3 times). I do not see the inteded float and only have to guess the direction to go (mostly down).

Equation numbering

Re: Equation numbering
HI Paula Piece of cake. In LyX, go into Document - Settings. On the Document Class page there is an area for class options.

Re: use of xcolor in LyX
Hi all,
sorry for having sent my suggestion about how to define the url color just
to Nikos and not to the list. This was because I forgot to use Reply all.
I use \usepackage[usenames]{color} and the hyperref package with the
article class so I wasn't aware about the conflicts between the hyperref
package and the koma-script book class which Nikos has noticed. I couldn't
provide any further advice about that but maybe the Koma script manual gives
some useful suggestion.

Re: Lyx 1.6 on ubuntu 8.04
Original-Nachricht Datum: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 21:14:35 + Von: Graham Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Betreff: Re: Lyx 1.6 on ubuntu 8.04 Paul Will this result in all packages being updated through the deb repository rather than the Ubuntu repository? Or does the sid bit restrict it to the Lyx files. No, SID doesn't restrict it to LyX, and you're right in not wanting to update other stuff from there. The trick is to enable the Debian SID repository (it will automatically be enabled when you first enter it), use Synaptic to install LyX (ignoring any messages to the effect that you have updates for 2,387 packages available), then go back into Sources (or Settings - Repositories from within Synaptic) and disable the mirror (but leave it defined, in case you need it again). If the you have updates bug is still displaying, use the Reload button in Synaptic to refresh the package list. Thanks again :-) Graham Hm, I don't think it's a good idea to use a sid repository in ubuntu, especially not in the older 8.04. There happen to be backports for LyX at getdeb: http://www.getdeb.net/app/LyX However, it's still rc3 for hardy there. Well, if you like them you could also use the packages I have been building and linking in the LyX Wiki for some time now. They are not checkinstall packages but packaged by hand and they also pull in a reasonable set of dependencies: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Download (feel free to comment on those here anyway) Phil

This seems like a bug. In fact, from what I can tell, font-ital never does anything in the current code. I'm using font-emph for now, as you suggested. But I'm not sure whether font-ital and font-emph have the same meaning. It doesn't matter to me since both font styles result in the text being set in the same italic font when using pdflatex output, but maybe for other output formats different fonts are used. font-emph produces emphasis, whatever the existing font. Exactly what it does is determined by LaTeX. So emphasizing something emphasized makes sense. font-ital just turns on italics. You can italicize what's already italicized. Richard

Re: Bad PDF generated from LyX
Never mind. The problem appears to be caused by the binary encoding format I selected. I selected ASCII encoding the problem has disappeared. Btw, for anyone who includes screenshots in their documents, enabling Image Interpolation in Photoshop EPS conversion will create a much better looking PDF file. Including bitmap files directly will lead to very fuzzy results when the PDF display resolution does not match the native capture resolution of the screenshot.

Hi, sorry for the late resurrection of the thread I tried to work on this, failed, left the problem aside. This morning I tried again but with no luck yet I copied the content of the ui directory inside .lyx/ui as you suggested and tried to modify the menus. The relevant lines seem to be: Item View PDF (pdflatex) buffer-view pdf2 Item Update PDF (pdflatex) buffer-update pdf2 in but stdtoolbars.inc, I tried to change it but I made lyx crash, I could not guess how to get it to use dvipdfm. I suppose I could copy the code from the entry in the File menu, but I could not find it. Do you have any idea how to solve this? Don't have time to try right now, but look what in Preferences-File Formats the shortname of PDF (dvipdfm) is (it is pdf3 by default), and use that instead of pdf2 in the ui files. You should only need to change in stdtoolbars.inc Item View PDF (pdflatex) buffer-view pdf2 Item Update PDF (pdflatex) buffer-update pdf2 by Item View PDF (pdflatex) buffer-view pdf3 Item Update PDF (pdflatex) buffer-update pdf3 . silly me! I had tried with pdf1 and pdf0 :) Now it works, the only minor problem is that the button has no icon, but a long label. You can FIRST try to directly change the files in the LyX.app, and if that works, migrate the changed files into the user-dir and restore the original LyX.app (otherwise you will loose them again with the next update) I'm using linux, so I would rather not modify a system file.

The user-customized preamble is put into the doctype declaration, too--I don't really consider this a bug, but I was a little surprised to find it in the output. LyX is also a few revisions behind in its DocBook support, at least according to the doctype (I think 4.4 is the last 4.x revision, and 5.x is current; the generated XML says that it's using 4.2). I've used both the sgmltools package and the sgml2x package.

navigating to a graphic float
With LyX 1.6 on Debian. Whenever I want to navigate to a figure float (from both, the NavigateList of figures and via the go-to-mark button from the insert cross-reference dialogue), I land somewhat below the figure. In longer documents with a lot of figures, the position is off more than a screen-hight (up to 3 times). I do not see the inteded float and only have to guess the direction to go (mostly down). Did anyone else experience this feature? It is a real show-stopper for my thesis work. (I cannot reproduce it with the User Guide, as there are almost no figures.) Günter

HI, Peter.

If this is enabled. In my computer, your problem can be solved.

You can use it (as almost every LaTeX package) but there is no GUI support
(out of the box).
The installation procedure depends on your system and the LaTeX distribution
you use, but basically means:
1. download
2. put into ~/texmf/tex/latex/ or /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/
(on a Unix machine)
3. run texhash
4. reconfigure LyX (only for packages recognised by LyX)
(i.e. not needed for polynom)
To use the commands,
a) read the manual
b) in LyX insert the LaTeX commands in raw mode, "evil red text" (ERT).
Press Ctrl-l to get the ERT box.
Alternatively, experiment with the math editor and read the Help>Math
handbook.

Re: use of xcolor in LyX

sorry for having sent my suggestion about how to define the url color just
to Nikos and not to the list. This was because I forgot to use Reply all.
I use \usepackage[usenames]{color} and the hyperref package with the

package and the koma-script book class which Nikos has noticed. I couldn't
provide any further advice about that but maybe the Koma script manual gives

From Bibtex point of view and proper title generation in Bibliography
this entry should be more like this:
@misc{ wiki:xxx,
author = "Wikipedia",
title = "Ly{X} --- {W}ikipedia{,} {T}he {F}ree {E}ncyclopedia",
year = "2008",
url = "\url{http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LyX=252337015};,

}
In other cases plenty Bibtex styles may reduce CAPS in title to "Lyx
--- wikipedia, the free encyclopedia".

I'm not sure if pulling in useless libs is something 'reasonable'. What's so hard about simply using the latest /debian/ directory provided in Debian and Ubuntu and just tweak where needed? Using pbuilder to build the package as plus. And consider publishing sources for GPL'ed stuff. Sven

The relevant lines seem to be: Item "View PDF (pdflatex)" "buffer-view pdf2" Item "Update PDF (pdflatex)" "buffer-update pdf2" in but stdtoolbars.inc, I tried to change it but I made lyx crash, I could not guess how to get it to use dvipdfm. I suppose I could copy the code from the entry in the File menu, but I could not find it. Do you have any idea how to solve this? Cheers, Emme > > /Konrad >

You should only need to change in stdtoolbars.inc Item "View PDF (pdflatex)" "buffer-view pdf2" Item "Update PDF (pdflatex)" "buffer-update pdf2" by Item "View PDF (pdflatex)" "buffer-view pdf3" Item "Update PDF (pdflatex)" "buffer-update pdf3" . You can FIRST try to directly change the files in the LyX.app, and if that works, migrate the changed files into the user-dir and restore the original LyX.app (otherwise you will loose them again with the next update) /Konrad

This seems like a bug. In fact, from what I can tell, font-ital never does anything in the current code. I'm using font-emph for now, as you suggested. But I'm not sure whether font-ital and font-emph have the same meaning. It doesn't matter to me since both font styles result in the text being set in the same italic font when using pdflatex output, but maybe for other output formats different fonts are used. font-emph produces emphasis, whatever the existing font. Exactly what it does is determined by LaTeX. So emphasizing something emphasized makes sense. font-ital just turns on italics. You can italicize what's already italicized. Richard

Re: Bad PDF generated from LyX
Never mind. The problem appears to be caused by the "binary" encoding format I selected. I selected ASCII encoding the problem has disappeared. Btw, for anyone who includes screenshots in their documents, enabling "Image Interpolation" in Photoshop EPS conversion will create a much better looking PDF file. Including bitmap files directly will lead to very fuzzy results when the PDF display resolution does not match the native capture resolution of the screenshot.

muzzle wrote: Now it works, the only minor problem is that the button has no icon, but a long label. I am not sure if this is hardcoded, but try the following: Look in LyX's "images" folder, there is e.g. a file buffer-view_pdf2.png Make a copy of it and call it buffer-view_pdf3.png in the same directory. Maybe LyX picks it up. Maybe it can also live in ~/.lyx/images You can FIRST try to directly change the files in the LyX.app, and if that works, migrate the changed files into the user-dir and restore the original LyX.app (otherwise you will loose them again with the next update) I'm using linux, so I would rather not modify a system file. I will just keep the copy of the modified interface files in my users preferences folder (~/.lyx/) This is much better, of course. But keep in mind that with new versions these files do NOT get updated automatically, so you won't inherit any changes. /Konrad

In this case, math-macros cannot be used (or at least do not provide
an improvement).

What are the problems that you have encountered. I am interested to fix them in both the stable and the development series. I am specially interested in the problems you are having with the xml generated docbook. I'll file some bug reports (and throw them back in this thread), but in general it looks like the tag is improperly generated (using 'lang="EN_US"' appears to be invalid), and I have not been able to get graphics properly embedded in the HTML output. The section is also not properly outputted; I suspect this can be fixed pretty easily by layout changes, but I'm not sure. The user-customized preamble is put into the doctype declaration, too--I don't really consider this a bug, but I was a little surprised to find it in the output. LyX is also a few revisions behind in its DocBook support, at least according to the doctype (I think 4.4 is the last 4.x revision, and 5.x is current; the generated XML says that it's using 4.2). I've used both the sgmltools package and the sgml2x package. I'll make sure to describe the pertinent information in the bugzilla filings when the time comes, as the two seem to work slightly differently. Thanks again for all your hard work, guys; I really do appreciate it. Best, Ethan ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
navigating to a graphic float
With LyX 1.6 on Debian. Whenever I want to navigate to a figure float (from both, the Navigate>List of figures and via the go-to-mark button from the insert cross-reference dialogue), I land somewhat below the figure. In longer documents with a lot of figures, the position is off more than a screen-hight (up to 3 times). I do not see the inteded float and only have to guess the direction to go (mostly down). Did anyone else experience this "feature"? It is a real show-stopper for my thesis work. (I cannot reproduce it with the User Guide, as there are almost no figures.) Günter
