Problem selecting text in LyX 1.6.1 on Ubuntu ardy

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I recently upgraded to LyX 1.6.1 from the Ubuntu Universe, and I
really like it. I only have one problem:

I can not select text when using SHIFT and the LEFT or RIGHT cursor
keys, but it works with the UP and DOWN keys. When I selected text
(either via mouse or UP or DOWN keys), the selection becomes
unselected, when I use the LEFT or RIGHT keys.

Is this a problem only on my setup or a bug?

Thanks

Rainer

How can i see the number of the equations when i am writting on text 
editos fo Lyx?


Hi Adrian,

I can't answer your question, but I would like to recommend that you write 
a suitable subject line when posting to the list.


With a good subject, it's easier for others to see what it's about, which 
increases the likelyhood that someone else will answer your question!


Best regards,
Christian

from the RELEASE_NOTES:

Caveats when upgrading from earlier versions to 1.6.x

- Since several lyx functions have been renamed (see above), old
  configuration files (*.ui, *.bind) may no longer work. If some
  functions (such as Shift-right for selecting text) fail to work
  after the upgrade from previous versions, make sure you do not
  have any old configuration files in your LyX user directory, or

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi Jürgen

thanks a lot for the tip below.

I checked it, and I had no files in the ui or bind directories in the
.lyx directory, and no files with .ui and .bind, but I still had the
problem.

But after deleting the .lyx directory, it worked.

Thanks a lot,

Rainer

Re: Fontsize of quotations in report-class (KOMA-script) | Lyx 1.6.1

[jezZiFeR]

I would like to change the fontsize of margins and, if possible, also
other attributes in report-class (KOMA-script):
I would like to have them a little smaller, left adjusted, and  
without

serifs.

Is the same also possible for citations, there I would like to change
the fontsize also.



What I meant were quotations, sorry…

KOMA-script uses \setkomafont and \addtokomafont to change the font  
for
different elements of a document. You can read more about it in the  
srcguide.pdf


I didn´t find a possibility to change the font for the quotations.  
This one doesn´t work:

\setkomafont{quote}{\footnotesize\tiny}

-- Error: Class scrreprt Error: font of element `quote' can't be set.


However, marginal notes and citations are not among these elements.  
If it is only a
few occurrences you can change the font one by one with edit-text  
style or by adding
som ERT. If there are to many you need to redefine the latex-macro  
for citations

and marginpars.


How could I do that or read sth on this topic?

I guess the reason not to add these elements to the komafont is that  
citation and
margin notes usually are identical to the normal font. From a  
typographical standpoint

this is good advice, imho. :)



As I see it, quotations and margin notes are usually written in a  
smaller fontsize and oftenly use a font without serifs, while the text  
uses serifs. To use a smaller fontsize seems reasonably for me, as it  
is just a quotation and the smaller size is also a method to mark the  
quotations.


Is there any method to do this for the whole document, as it worked  
for the citations also?


Thanks, best*
Jess

Re: Customizing the TableOfContents

Hi,

I have a LaTeX class called toptesi that has a special latex command \indici
that produces the table of contents, list of figures and list of tables
etc., in a specific format. I want to use this using the Inset features of
LyX. Now I know that you can insert LaTeX commands in LyX, but this is more
for my mother than for me, and so she cannot understand this. I want to
create a layout file that will modify the CommandInset for the TOC to
generate a different code.

  
This cannot be done without modifying the code. It was a natural idea to 
try it with InsetLayout, but that only works with collapsable insets, 
like ERT, footnotes, etc.



The present CommandInset for TOC generates the following:
\begin_inset CommandInset toc
LatexCommand tableofcontents

\end_inset

Instead of producing this, I want LyX to generate the following code:

\begin_inset CommandInset toc
LatexCommand indici

\end_inset

  
No, this isn't what you want to do. What you want is to change the LaTeX 
export, not the LyX code. So where LyX generates:

   \tableofcontents{}
you want what? Answer that and your solution will be to put this in the 
preamble (which you can do in a layout file):

   \let\oldtoc=\tableofcontents
   \def\tableofcontents{NEW CODE}
This trick is used in the beamer layouts.

ERT misbehaviour

[Bernd Sellentin]

Hi,
since lyx 1.6 ERT does some strange and unwanted insertion like
\foreignlanguage{ngerman} and {} when I modify an existing ERT. You can see 
this if you open VIEW-Source.
Mostly this ERT-modified code does not compile anymore.
I found 2 workarounds: 
- save-close-reopen-compile
- Einfügung auflösen - modify - mark - Einfügen ERT
Please, give back old ERT behaviour.

Re: Hyperlink question: URL syntax

[Michael Wojcik]

Hubert Christiaen wrote:
 An URL is composed of
 - a protocol part ended with ':' ftp:' 'http:' or 'file:'

This is the URI scheme. It doesn't necessarily name a protocol.

 - an address of the server starting with '//' and ending in '/'
   if the server is the localmachine, one can put 'localhost' or sometimes 
 also 
 just nothing. In this case you have for a file on your machine 
 already 'file:///' !
 - then follows the location on the server, which is a bit OS dependent ...

The main point, in a case like this, is that the backslash (\) is not
a valid URI character, nor is it the URI component separator for a
hierarchical path. A valid file-scheme URL must use the forward slash
(/). There's nothing OS-dependent about that; it's required by the URI
specification.

 Is that a bug? file:C:\file.txt is not a valid URL. It should be

 Ok that kind of works.
 But how am I supposed to know that the directory has to be written like this?
 There's no mention about this in the Hyperlink-chapter of the manual.

Yes, it'd be nice if the LyX documentation discussed file-scheme URLs
in the material on hyperlinks.

file-scheme URLs give many Windows users trouble, especially because
some Microsoft software (notably IE and Explorer) have very sloppy
rules for handling them. In theory, you could figure out how to write
them by reading the URI specification (IETF STD0066, if memory
serves), but it wouldn't be easy.

Jukka Korpela has a discussion on file-scheme URLs, including some
notes about how to use them on Windows, here:

http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/fileurl.html

 Well, the PDF is processed and it works except in Acrobat where
 Firefox opens with an empty tab, but I guess that's an Acrobat problem?!

This could be the result of the stricter same-domain policy in
Mozilla-based browsers, combined with something to do with how Acrobat
is invoking Firefox. There's a short comment on that on Jukka's page.
There's not much that can be done about it; it's a security measure,
so it's supposed to be difficult to circumvent.

By the way, you can ignore the bit I wrote above about using c|
instead of c:. That's no longer allowed by the current URI
specification. A strictly-correct file-scheme URL on Windows would use
c%3a for the drive letter and colon.

 As said this is a bug in LyX I will fix soon. The LyX will automatically

I don't see how that's a LyX bug. Maybe it's a nice feature, though it
seems a bit arbitrary. LyX can't also escape reserved characters in
the URL, for example, because it can't know if those characters are
being used for their reserved purpose.

Personally, I'd rather see a documentation update, and not have LyX
try to monkey with the URL contents.

Re: Customizing the TableOfContents

[Balaji]

Richard,

Thanks a lot. I got this to work finally. I had initially tried something
like that before writing this question, but quite naively. I simply said
\def\tableofcontents{\indici} and that gave me a stack overflow. This is
because indici calls \tableofcontents internally. I now redefined it by
copying the code for indici and placing it in the definition of
tableofcontents. This time, I replaced the \tableofcontents with \oldtoc. So
now my definition looks like:
\def\tableofcontents{
   loads of stuff before that
\iffrontmatter\else\frontmattertrue\fi
\oldtoc
loads of stuff after that
}

When you replied to my email, I decided there has to be some way to do this
only using this redefinition trick. I was stupid not to think of this
earlier, but thanks a lot for your reply that guarantees that modifying
Insets won't work for me. The more I thought it was possible to customize
Insets, the more I was trying it. I had spent 16 hours modifying Insets and
it didn't work. It took me just 2 mins to fix this though. I think I just
needed someone to tell me that the solution is not in that route.

Thanks,
Balaji

 I think these should not be done directly in the graphics dialog, but I see 
 your point about usability and that it should be accesible from there.
 
 So the best choice would probably be a combo with existing groups to selct a 
 group for the given graphic, and an Define new group... button that opens a 
 new dialog where you can define a new group.
 
 I think that would make the distinction clear enough, and would be usable.

currently i added at least editable combo, so the worst part is gone - we
are not anymore dependent on the context menu.
the button thing would probably need switch to the template philosophy.

-- Error: Class scrreprt Error: font of element `quote'
can't be set.


Quotations are not on the komafont-list either, sorry, so you  
proabably

have to change them in the similar way that Jürgen suggested changing
the marginpars.



I would love to do that – but I do´t know how. What could I insert  
instead of marginpars?




How could I do that or read sth on this topic?


Maybe Steve Litts introduction is a good starting point.
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/lyx_latex_tex.htm



Thanks, this seems to be very useful! I hope it will help.



As I see it, quotations and margin notes are usually written in a
smaller fontsize and oftenly use a font without serifs, while
the text uses serifs. To use a smaller fontsize seems reasonably for
me, as it is just a quotation and the smaller size is also a method  
to

mark the quotations.


You do not have to defend your choices :).



Thank you ;]



Is there any method to do this for the whole document, as it worked
for the citations also?


If you mean change the normal font for the whole document, this is  
usually done Document-options-font.



No, what I meant was the fontsize of all the quotations of the text,  
not for the normal font.

change fonts in quotes in koma-script

[Marcelo Acuña]

Hello,
 I want to change fonts in quotes in a koma-script book to small and sans serif.
 In preamble I put:

\renewenvironment{quote}
  {\list{} {\sffamily\small
   {\setlength{\rightmargin}{my vaulue}
   {\setlength{\leftmargin}{my vaulue}
   {\setlength{\topsep}{my vaulue}
   {\setlength{\parsep}{my vaulue}
   {\setlength{\parskip}{my vaulue}
   }
   \item\relax}
  {\endlist}

 It work, but I have a severe problem. The space between lines in the paragraph 
before quote is reduced. This look odds in the page.
 How I can solved this problem and get sans serif and small fonts in quotes?
 Tanks

problem with lyx 1.6 and persian

[moosavy]

Hi
I installed lyx 1.6 on my ubuntu hardy. Then I installed the Xepersian

Persian,  But when I want to to write bilingual text (Persian and
English) I encountered with this message:

 The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

Problem selecting text in LyX 1.6.1 on Ubuntu ardy

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I recently upgraded to LyX 1.6.1 from the Ubuntu Universe, and I
really like it. I only have one problem:

I can not select text when using SHIFT and the LEFT or RIGHT cursor
keys, but it works with the UP and DOWN keys. When I selected text
(either via mouse or UP or DOWN keys), the selection becomes
unselected, when I use the LEFT or RIGHT keys.

Is this a problem only on my setup or a bug?

Thanks

Re: Fontsize of quotations in report-class (KOMA-script) | Lyx 1.6.1

[jezZiFeR]

I would like to change the fontsize of margins and, if possible, also
other attributes in report-class (KOMA-script):
I would like to have them a little smaller, left adjusted, and  
without

serifs.

Is the same also possible for citations, there I would like to change
the fontsize also.



What I meant were quotations, sorry…

KOMA-script uses \setkomafont and \addtokomafont to change the font  
for
different elements of a document. You can read more about it in the  
srcguide.pdf


I didn´t find a possibility to change the font for the quotations.  
This one doesn´t work:

\setkomafont{quote}{\footnotesize\tiny}

-- Error: Class scrreprt Error: font of element `quote' can't be set.


However, marginal notes and citations are not among these elements.  
If it is only a
few occurrences you can change the font one by one with edit-text  
style or by adding
som ERT. If there are to many you need to redefine the latex-macro  
for citations

and marginpars.


How could I do that or read sth on this topic?

I guess the reason not to add these elements to the komafont is that  
citation and
margin notes usually are identical to the normal font. From a  
typographical standpoint

this is good advice, imho. :)



As I see it, quotations and margin notes are usually written in a  
smaller fontsize and oftenly use a font without serifs, while the text  
uses serifs. To use a smaller fontsize seems reasonably for me, as it  
is just a quotation and the smaller size is also a method to mark the  
quotations.


Is there any method to do this for the whole document, as it worked  
for the citations also?


Thanks, best*

No, this isn't what you want to do. What you want is to change the LaTeX

you want what? Answer that and your solution will be to put this in the

This trick is used in the beamer layouts.

Re: Hyperlink question: URL syntax

[Michael Wojcik]

Hubert Christiaen wrote:
 An URL is composed of
 - a protocol part ended with ':' ftp:' 'http:' or 'file:'

This is the URI scheme. It doesn't necessarily name a protocol.

 - an address of the server starting with '//' and ending in '/'
   if the server is the localmachine, one can put 'localhost' or sometimes 
 also 
 just nothing. In this case you have for a file on your machine 
 already 'file:///' !
 - then follows the location on the server, which is a bit OS dependent ...

The main point, in a case like this, is that the backslash (\) is not
a valid URI character, nor is it the URI component separator for a
hierarchical path. A valid file-scheme URL must use the forward slash
(/). There's nothing OS-dependent about that; it's required by the URI
specification.

 Ok that kind of works.
 But how am I supposed to know that the directory has to be written like this?
 There's no mention about this in the Hyperlink-chapter of the manual.

Yes, it'd be nice if the LyX documentation discussed file-scheme URLs
in the material on hyperlinks.

file-scheme URLs give many Windows users trouble, especially because
some Microsoft software (notably IE and Explorer) have very sloppy
rules for handling them. In theory, you could figure out how to write
them by reading the URI specification (IETF STD0066, if memory
serves), but it wouldn't be easy.

Jukka Korpela has a discussion on file-scheme URLs, including some
notes about how to use them on Windows, here:

http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/fileurl.html

 Well, the PDF is processed and it works except in Acrobat where
 Firefox opens with an empty tab, but I guess that's an Acrobat problem?!

This could be the result of the stricter same-domain policy in
Mozilla-based browsers, combined with something to do with how Acrobat
is invoking Firefox. There's a short comment on that on Jukka's page.
There's not much that can be done about it; it's a security measure,
so it's supposed to be difficult to circumvent.

By the way, you can ignore the bit I wrote above about using c|
instead of c:. That's no longer allowed by the current URI
specification. A strictly-correct file-scheme URL on Windows would use
c%3a for the drive letter and colon.

I don't see how that's a LyX bug. Maybe it's a nice feature, though it
seems a bit arbitrary. LyX can't also escape reserved characters in
the URL, for example, because it can't know if those characters are
being used for their reserved purpose.

Personally, I'd rather see a documentation update, and not have LyX
try to monkey with the URL contents.

Re: Customizing the TableOfContents

[Balaji]

Richard,

Thanks a lot. I got this to work finally. I had initially tried something
like that before writing this question, but quite naively. I simply said
\def\tableofcontents{\indici} and that gave me a stack overflow. This is
because indici calls \tableofcontents internally. I now redefined it by
copying the code for indici and placing it in the definition of
tableofcontents. This time, I replaced the \tableofcontents with \oldtoc. So
now my definition looks like:
\def\tableofcontents{
   loads of stuff before that
\iffrontmatter\else\frontmattertrue\fi
\oldtoc
loads of stuff after that
}

When you replied to my email, I decided there has to be some way to do this
only using this redefinition trick. I was stupid not to think of this
earlier, but thanks a lot for your reply that guarantees that modifying
Insets won't work for me. The more I thought it was possible to customize
Insets, the more I was trying it. I had spent 16 hours modifying Insets and
it didn't work. It took me just 2 mins to fix this though. I think I just
needed someone to tell me that the solution is not in that route.

Thanks,
Balaji

 I think these should not be done directly in the graphics dialog, but I see 
 your point about usability and that it should be accesible from there.
 
 So the best choice would probably be a combo with existing groups to selct a 
 group for the given graphic, and an Define new group... button that opens a 
 new dialog where you can define a new group.
 
 I think that would make the distinction clear enough, and would be usable.

currently i added at least editable combo, so the worst part is gone - we

the button thing would probably need switch to the template philosophy.

Re: SV: Fontsize of quotations in report-class (KOMA-script) | Lyx 1.6.1

[jezZiFeR]

I didn´t find a possibility to change the font for the quotations.
This one doesn´t work:
\setkomafont{quote}{\footnotesize\tiny}

-- Error: Class scrreprt Error: font of element `quote'
can't be set.


Quotations are not on the komafont-list either, sorry, so you  
proabably

have to change them in the similar way that Jürgen suggested changing
the marginpars.



I would love to do that – but I do´t know how. What could I insert  
instead of marginpars?




How could I do that or read sth on this topic?


Maybe Steve Litts introduction is a good starting point.
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/lyx_latex_tex.htm



Thanks, this seems to be very useful! I hope it will help.



As I see it, quotations and margin notes are usually written in a
smaller fontsize and oftenly use a font without serifs, while
the text uses serifs. To use a smaller fontsize seems reasonably for
me, as it is just a quotation and the smaller size is also a method  
to

mark the quotations.


You do not have to defend your choices :).



Thank you ;]



Is there any method to do this for the whole document, as it worked
for the citations also?


If you mean change the normal font for the whole document, this is  
usually done Document-options-font.



No, what I meant was the fontsize of all the quotations of the text,  
not for the normal font.

change fonts in quotes in koma-script

[Marcelo Acuña]

Hello,
 I want to change fonts in quotes in a koma-script book to small and sans serif.
 In preamble I put:

\renewenvironment{quote}
  {\list{} {\sffamily\small
   {\setlength{\rightmargin}{my vaulue}
   {\setlength{\leftmargin}{my vaulue}
   {\setlength{\topsep}{my vaulue}
   {\setlength{\parsep}{my vaulue}
   {\setlength{\parskip}{my vaulue}
   }
   \item\relax}
  {\endlist}

 It work, but I have a severe problem. The space between lines in the paragraph 
before quote is reduced. This look odds in the page.
 How I can solved this problem and get sans serif and small fonts in quotes?
 Tanks

problem with lyx 1.6 and persian

[moosavy]

Hi
I installed lyx 1.6 on my ubuntu hardy. Then I installed the Xepersian
Package (a package for persian(Farsi) language) and configure Lyx for
work with it, I have brilliant pdf output when I input text only in
Persian,  But when I want to to write bilingual text (Persian and
English) I encountered with this message:

 The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

What this mean? and How can I repair that?

I would love to do that - but I do´t know how. What could I insert

This will give you a smaller font (footnotesize) for quotations in the 
whole document if put into the preamble:

\let\oldquotation\quotation 
\renewcommand*\quotation{\oldquotation\footnotesize} 

You could even add fontfamily (\sffamily) and alignment (\raggedleft)

LyX's ViewSource menu topic is your friend here. It shows the LaTeX

you check that button).

 How could I do that or read sth on this topic?

In a good LaTeX book, of course. But there are starter documents that

Problem selecting text in LyX 1.6.1 on Ubuntu ardy

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I recently upgraded to LyX 1.6.1 from the Ubuntu Universe, and I
really like it. I only have one problem:

I can not select text when using SHIFT and the LEFT or RIGHT cursor
keys, but it works with the UP and DOWN keys. When I selected text
(either via mouse or UP or DOWN keys), the selection becomes
unselected, when I use the LEFT or RIGHT keys.

Is this a problem only on my setup or a bug?

Thanks

With a good subject, it's easier for others to see what it's about, which

Hi Jürgen

thanks a lot for the tip below.

I checked it, and I had no files in the ui or bind directories in the

problem.

But after deleting the .lyx directory, it worked.

Thanks a lot,

What I meant were quotations, sorry…

KOMA-script uses \setkomafont and \addtokomafont to change the font  
for
different elements of a document. You can read more about it in the  
srcguide.pdf


I didn´t find a possibility to change the font for the quotations.  
This one doesn´t work:

\setkomafont{quote}{\footnotesize\tiny}

--> Error: "Class scrreprt Error: font of element `quote' can't be set."


However, marginal notes and citations are not among these elements.  
If it is only a
few occurrences you can change the font one by one with edit->text  
style or by adding
som ERT. If there are to many you need to redefine the latex-macro  
for citations

and marginpars.


How could I do that or read sth on this topic?

I guess the reason not to add these elements to the komafont is that  
citation and
margin notes usually are identical to the normal font. From a  
typographical standpoint

this is good advice, imho. :)



As I see it, quotations and margin notes are usually written in a  
smaller fontsize and oftenly use a font without serifs, while the text  
uses serifs. To use a smaller fontsize seems reasonably for me, as it  
is just a quotation and the smaller size is also a method to mark the  
quotations.


Is there any method to do this for the whole document, as it worked  
for the citations also?


Thanks, best*
Jess

Re: Customizing the TableOfContents

[rgheck]

Balaji wrote:

Hi,

I have a LaTeX class called toptesi that has a special latex command \indici
that produces the table of contents, list of figures and list of tables
etc., in a specific format. I want to use this using the Inset features of
LyX. Now I know that you can insert LaTeX commands in LyX, but this is more
for my mother than for me, and so she cannot understand this. I want to
create a layout file that will modify the CommandInset for the TOC to
generate a different code.

  
This cannot be done without modifying the code. It was a natural idea to 
try it with InsetLayout, but that only works with collapsable insets, 
like ERT, footnotes, etc.



The present CommandInset for TOC generates the following:
\begin_inset CommandInset toc
LatexCommand tableofcontents

\end_inset

Instead of producing this, I want LyX to generate the following code:

\begin_inset CommandInset toc
LatexCommand indici

\end_inset

  
No, this isn't what you want to do. What you want is to change the LaTeX 
export, not the LyX code. So where LyX generates:

   \tableofcontents{}
you want what? Answer that and your solution will be to put this in the 
preamble (which you can do in a layout file):

   \let\oldtoc=\tableofcontents
   \def\tableofcontents{NEW CODE}
This trick is used in the beamer layouts.

ERT misbehaviour

[Bernd Sellentin]

Hi,
since lyx 1.6 ERT does some strange and unwanted insertion like
\foreignlanguage{ngerman} and {} when I modify an existing ERT. You can see 
this if you open VIEW->Source.
Mostly this ERT-modified code does not compile anymore.
I found 2 workarounds: 
- save-close-reopen-compile
- Einfügung auflösen - modify - mark - Einfügen ERT
Please, give back old ERT behaviour.

That sounds like a nice new feature for 1.6.2 doesn't it? To compare
two documents and get a diffed version ;-)
Yes, I know there is a feature request on this in bugzilla.
