How about a consistent behaviour of ERT, math, note, and other insets: If the cursor is on the very beginning and you press Backspace, the inset is dissolved and the content inserted as normal text.

For heavy users I'd recommend a command sequence that sets a bookmark (or two) before the math-text conversion.) Günter

Thanks Jean-Marc,
That did it, and now I have to wonder if I place that comma there, and
now there is a line under the header?
So it doesn't obey the command It places a head separater line there,
If I try to comment out that line by % or %, I get the error message
again.
If I try to set it as headsepline=true% The line is still there? Weird.
But at least I have it working, but some strange things are happening

Re: Character spacing in Lyx
On 2010-02-01, Thomas Hedden wrote: I am using Lyx 1.6.5 on Linux and want to apply, to some text, a character attribute that is variously referred to as character spacing, intercharacter spacing, inter-character spacing, or merely spacing, and possibly other names as well.

This attribute is widely used in typography, The s p a c i n g you look after is most probable the highlight method while kerning is most often used for a different feature (making, e.g., AV coming somewhat together). My dictionary says: gesperrt; gesperrt gedruckt :: spaced out. A few cryptic posts I have read refer to a package called soul, but it does not come up when I query for lyx in the package manager (using Fedora 11). soul is a LaTeX package that supports this. Spacing is, however, not directly supported by LyX. You will have to read its documentation and use ERT (raw latex code) in your document. The natural way for LyX support would be to write a module (modeled after semantic.module) and post it to wiki.lyx.org. Günter

I believe the question you're asking is: How can I convert a Lyx file to Word or Word-like format? The question has been asked several times and there is no single answer. It depends on what's in your document (text, math, images, etc.) , and on what you care to preserve in the transition LyX-- other format. Look in the wiki and in the lists archives for past discussions. Here are some options I am familiar with: 1. convert Lyx to Html, and then read the html file into word or openoffice. This option uses the htlatex conversion scripts which rely on the TeX4ht package. The package must be installed on your system. I am not sure how easy or how difficult such an installation is on windows system (i'm on linux). Here is a link that may help: http://facweb.knowlton.ohio-state.edu/pviton/support/tex4ht.html 2. convert lyx to Latex and then latex to rtf. Both word and openoffice will read the rtf file. Look here for help on this option: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/ExportingRichTextFormatWithLaTeX2rtf 3. convert Lyx directly to openoffice format. Can be done again with the htlatex scripts. See (1) above. I am sure there are other routes. On my system all the three options successfully convert the examples/splash.lyx file, although the definition of success varies.

Re: help!
I believe the question you're asking is: How can I convert a Lyx file to Word or Word-like format? The question has been asked several times and there is no single answer. It depends on what's in your document (text, math, images, etc.) , and on what you care to preserve in the transition LyX-- other format. MY DOCUMENT CONTAINS MATH FORMULAS. I WOULD LIKE TO EXPORT TO ODT BECAUSE IN IT MATH FORMULAS CAN BE EDITED. Look in the wiki and in the lists archives for past discussions. Here are some options I am familiar with: 1. convert Lyx to Html, and then read the html file into word or openoffice. This option uses the htlatex conversion scripts which rely on the TeX4ht package. The package must be installed on your system. I am not sure how easy or how difficult such an installation is on windows system (i'm on linux). Here is a link that may help: http://facweb.knowlton.ohio-state.edu/pviton/support/tex4ht.html IN HTML MATH CAN'T BE EDITED. NOT A SOLUTION. 2. convert lyx to Latex and then latex to rtf. Both word and openoffice will read the rtf file. Look here for help on this option: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/ExportingRichTextFormatWithLaTeX2rtf IN RTF MATH CAN'T BE EDITED. NOT A SOLUTION. 3. convert Lyx directly to openoffice format. Can be done again with the htlatex scripts. See (1) above. I'LL TRY TO SEE WHAT HTLATEX SCRIPTS ARE. BUT IF LYX HAS MENU VIEW - OPENDOCUMENT, SHOULDN'T IT WORK RIGHT AFTER THE INSTALLATION?! I am sure there are other routes. On my system all the three options successfully convert the examples/splash.lyx file, although the definition of success varies. PLEASE SAY WHAT IS YOUR OS? Hope it helps, S.

I'll summarise: 1. tex4ht is available for both Linux and Windows: see the web site at http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/. 2. For Linux, it should be installable with your package manager. 3. Windows, follow the instructions at http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/mn-mswin.html 4. Conversion to odt requires a Java installation. This should be the Sun version of the jre. 5. Conversion is easiest with the pre-defined oolatex script. On at least some Debian based Linux machines, this is not on the execution path. It must be located and referenced by its full path name. 6. Installation on Windows appears to me to be harder. I always advise computer newcomers to stick with Linux until they are comfortable enough to try the more difficult system.

How about a consistent behaviour of ERT, math, note, and other insets: If the cursor is on the very beginning and you press Backspace, the inset is dissolved and the content inserted as normal text.

For heavy users I'd recommend a command sequence that sets a bookmark (or two) before the math-text conversion.) Günter

What happens if you remove the comma in front of this line?
I can't find it in the document any place at all, and I've loaded the
document with a text editor without being able to find that `',
I think it is complaining about an empty option. The `' are just
added around
this empty string.
JMarc
Thanks Jean-Marc,
That did it, and now I have to wonder if I place that comma there, and
now there is a line under the header?
So it doesn't obey the command It places a head separater line there,
If I try to comment out that line by % or %, I get the error message
again.
If I try to set it as headsepline=true% The line is still there? Weird.
But at least I have it working, but some strange things are happening
and I don't know where to look for the answers.

Re: Character spacing in Lyx
On 2010-02-01, Thomas Hedden wrote: I am using Lyx 1.6.5 on Linux and want to apply, to some text, a character attribute that is variously referred to as character spacing, intercharacter spacing, inter-character spacing, or merely spacing, and possibly other names as well. When used on pairs of characters, it is also referred to as kerning. This attribute is widely used in typography, The s p a c i n g you look after is most probable the highlight method while kerning is most often used for a different feature (making, e.g., AV coming somewhat together). My dictionary says: gesperrt; gesperrt gedruckt :: spaced out. A few cryptic posts I have read refer to a package called soul, but it does not come up when I query for lyx in the package manager (using Fedora 11). soul is a LaTeX package that supports this. Spacing is, however, not directly supported by LyX. You will have to read its documentation and use ERT (raw latex code) in your document. The natural way for LyX support would be to write a module (modeled after semantic.module) and post it to wiki.lyx.org. Günter

Look in the wiki and in the lists archives for past discussions. Here are some options I am familiar with: 1. convert Lyx to Html, and then read the html file into word or openoffice. This option uses the htlatex conversion scripts which rely on the TeX4ht package. The package must be installed on your system. I am not sure how easy or how difficult such an installation is on windows system (i'm on linux). Here is a link that may help: http://facweb.knowlton.ohio-state.edu/pviton/support/tex4ht.html 2. convert lyx to Latex and then latex to rtf. Both word and openoffice will read the rtf file. Look here for help on this option: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/ExportingRichTextFormatWithLaTeX2rtf 3. convert Lyx directly to openoffice format. Can be done again with the htlatex scripts. See (1) above. I am sure there are other routes. On my system all the three options successfully convert the examples/splash.lyx file, although the definition of success varies.

Here are some options I am familiar with: 1. convert Lyx to Html, and then read the html file into word or openoffice. This option uses the htlatex conversion scripts which rely on the TeX4ht package. The package must be installed on your system. I am not sure how easy or how difficult such an installation is on windows system (i'm on linux). Here is a link that may help: http://facweb.knowlton.ohio-state.edu/pviton/support/tex4ht.html IN HTML MATH CAN'T BE EDITED. NOT A SOLUTION. 2. convert lyx to Latex and then latex to rtf. Both word and openoffice will read the rtf file. Look here for help on this option: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/ExportingRichTextFormatWithLaTeX2rtf IN RTF MATH CAN'T BE EDITED. NOT A SOLUTION. 3. convert Lyx directly to openoffice format. Can be done again with the htlatex scripts. See (1) above. I'LL TRY TO SEE WHAT HTLATEX SCRIPTS ARE. BUT IF LYX HAS MENU VIEW - OPENDOCUMENT, SHOULDN'T IT WORK RIGHT AFTER THE INSTALLATION?! I am sure there are other routes. On my system all the three options successfully convert the examples/splash.lyx file, although the definition of success varies. PLEASE SAY WHAT IS YOUR OS? Hope it helps, S.

htlatex scripts are HTML (but not ODT) aren't they?

LyX relies on external tools... do I lack a miktex package?

No, not necessarily. LyX relies on external tools, and it is up to them to do the conversion job (here, LaTeX - ODT). I've found a long list of MikTeX packages in start - programs - miktex - browse packages. However, I didn't find any package starting with letter o and resembling something related to opendocument.

LyX is a comfortable formula editor. a VERY comfortable one. Math inserts just on the fly of thoughts... But I have to uninstall LyX sorry unfortunately I have no other choice

The formatting it does is fascinating. Simply adorable... LyX is a comfortable formula editor. a VERY comfortable one. Math inserts just on the fly of thoughts... I thought I could export to opendocument, where formulas are editable... Then, I could send it to anybody - and anybody could edit the math Now I see that opendocument export is unavailable in LyX. Unavailable even for expert users. Then, I have to (I unfortunately have no other choice) uninstall LyX and to continue using Open Office Org Writer to insert formulas. That one is really very uncomfortable. You have to type the TeX code in manually. I had been doing it for several months when I found LyX this week. I thought it was the solution to my plenty of math. It turned out that it isn't... I am really very sorry.

You can still send it to others -- just tell them to install LyX, it's cross-platform :-) and open-source, so anybody can edit those maths . . . Or, just try digging a little bit more in that odt conversion, and if you succeed please tell us how to improve the documentation. T.

Install the package tex4ht and then use the script oolatex. I don't know about other systems, but oolatex is not on the excecution path of Debian - you need to use the full path or put in a symbolic link somewhere on your execution path. The other problem is that there is (was?) a bug in tex4ht that requires you to use the actual Sun Java JRE. The substitute that comes with most Linux distributions leaves an empty .odt document. I have converted quite large documents using this package: 600+ page books with multiple indexes and a zillion cross-references.
