[help]: lyx 1.6.5: document classes not configured

[franck.meyer]

Hi,

I have installed Lyx 1.6.5 on 2 computers (both on Windows xp). The
first one was with an old Miktex 2.7 and I have no problem.

The second one, my laptop, didn't have latex so I installed miktex 2.8
(complete version) first.
Then I have installed Lyx 1..6.5 but I had a problem: all the layouts
are not recognized so I can't view neither print documents (document
class not available says Lyx when loading the file)
When I look at the texclass.lst, all layouts seem to be set at false.

I 've just tried to desinstall Miktek and Lyx, and to reinstall (first
Miktex then Lyx as previously): but I still have the same problem (and
the same texclass.lst, see attached file).
When I use Texworks (installed with Miktex) on a short example the
layouts (book, article) seem to work and Texworks generates the pdf, so
Miktex doesn't seem to be the problem?

What's wrong with my installation?

Thanks in advance,
Frank. textclass.lst

Re: Adding a text box over an image?

[Helge Hafting]

KimberlyQ wrote:

I am a new Lyx user, hoping to write a technical manual using this wonderful
program.  Beyond the introduction and first chapter, most of the entire
manual consists of a table on every page.  The table covers the full page.
The table itself is the same on every page. Only the data within the table
changes from page to page.  I have created all the table pages and data in
Ms Word. I can insert them into Lyx as a screenshot image. 


The body of the manual will be one or more text boxes overlaying the table
on each page.  The text boxes explain the changing data in the table.  Of
course, I could finish my book by adding the text boxes to the tables in
Word, but I was hoping to take advantage of the formatting, indexing, and
cross-referencing ease of Lyx. 


My research as a novice Lyx user indicates that adding a text box to an
image can't be done.  Before I give up and stick with Word for this project,
I wanted to ask the group of experts if it is possible, or if any workable
alternatives come to mind.  


I assume your table-images doesn't cover the width of the page, so that 
there is room for text on the side? Or at least some of the image is

blank, so you want text to go there?

One approach:
Insert a box, and put the image inside that. Set the box width to 
something less than 100% of the line length. (For example, 60%)

This leave room for another box beside it, whose width you set to the
remaining (such as 40% of the line length.) Don't use textwidth 
because that includes margins. But boxes are not supposed to stick

into the margins.  Type your text inside the second box.

Note that the table-image can be wider than the box containing the
image. In that case, the box of text will partially overlay the image. 
This will work if your image is blank in the overlapping region. Or if 
you don't mind text on top of the image. (Lightly colored image with

low detail doesn't ruin the text.)

I would not recommend combining word  lyx this way, as LyX can do 
better most of what word can do anyway. But since you already has these 
table-images . . . perhaps you don't want to re-create the tables in 
LyX. You may want to consider a LyX-only solution the next time though, 
as LyX has good support for tables.


Using boxes is only one way of setting text and images/tables side by 
side. The box way doesn't work well with page breaking, but I got the

impression that the text on one page is supposed to match the
image on that page. So you probably don't want automatic page breaking here
anyway?

Some other ways:

* Use the multicol package, have images in one column and text in
  another.
* Use a float per table-image, and put the accompagnying text inside
  the float. Either under the image, or to the side by using boxes.
  Useful to get automatic cross-referencing, as figure references
  (almost) require floats.
* use text-wrap floats to put text to the side of images. This doesn't
  always work though, so might be trick for a book that contain lots
  of these constructs.
* Use a two-cell table. Put the image inside one cell, and the text in
  the cell beside it.
* If you re-do the tables in LyX, simply have an extra table cell
  with the text inside it. This text-cell could be large.

Re: a few chapter*s between TOC and chapter 1 (NOT part of TOC)???

[Helge Hafting]

Joe(theWordy)Philbrook wrote:

The sequence is the TOC followed by a tex code box containing:
\mainmatter
\pagenumbering{roman}

Then a few short chapter*(s) That are not part of the numbered chapters.
And it is not desired for them to be labeled as contents in the output 
(pdf)


Then there is another tex code box containing:
\pagenumbering{arabic}

And finally  Chapter 1...

How can I stop output from inserting the word contents into the
the page header of the chapter*{s} without relocating them to
before the TOC, nor after chapter 1???


This works for document class book:

Immediately after the TOC (before your chapter*), an ERT box with
\pagestyle{plain}
This gets rid of the running header you didn't want. You will still
get contents on TOC pages, if your TOC spans more than one page.

The first normal text in the first chapter should start with an ERT box 
with:

\pagestyle{headings}
in order to reinstate the running headers that you probably want for 
your numbered chapters.


The page styles:
empty - nothing, not even a page number
plain - a page number, nothing more
headings  - page number and running header (with the chapter name,
usually)
myheadings- user defined by using more ERT (\markright or \markboth
whenever you want the running headers to change)
fancy - Even more user defined. Maybe you want a logo in the
heading, a colored page number, anything goes but
more ERT is needed.

Note that the \pagestyle command is only necessary if you want running
headers in the normal chapters but not elsewhere. If you don't want
any running headers at all, just turn them off in document settings,
page style set to plain.  No need for ERT then.

To style a single page differently: \thispagestyle{plain} in an ERT box 
anywhere on that page.

Anyone had the same issues and knows a solution or workaround?


Why do you need to do this?

If you insert graphichs with Insert-graphichs (instead of using
\includegraphics directly) then the temp directory shouldn't cause
you trouble. Are you sure you need to use \includegraphics?

Most likely, LyX could not find Miktex at the time LyX configured itself.

If things have changed, just do a Tools-Reconfigure in LyX, and it 
might fix itself. If it still doesn't find anything, check that

the miktex executables is in the PATH. (LyX does not try to find it
anywhere else.)

Test:
Open a cmd.exe window, try a command like pdflatex. If that fails, you 
have found the problem. Correct the PATH so it includes whatever folder 
the miktex program files resides in. Then, restart LyX and do the

Tools-Reconfigure. Restart LyX again, and it ought to work.

 I do not quite understand what you want, but you can redefine the subexamples

I have in mind something like this:

\item b label{1b}

So that I can refer to all the subexamples by 1 and to each

I would hope that when I add a subexample a group label would be inserted.
Is this possible from the layout definitions? I tried to look at it

It is important that you have an open Internet connection when 
installing LyX. This assures that all LaTeX text classes are installed.


The easiest way to fix your problem would be to

- uninstall LyX _completely_
- uninstall MiKTeX _completely_
- uninstall Aspell and its dictionaries (if this program was installed)
- open an Internet connection
- reinstall LyX using the complete version of this installer:

Re: resize table, caption

Hi:
I have tables that are too large to output to one table.  I am trying to

Many thanks,

I'm using 1.5.6 on a MAC



If this is inside a table float, just put the initial ERT block inside 
the float (not outside the float), along with the table and the closing 
brace (in ERT).


From what I've seen on the web, \resizebox is designed to squish 
graphics, not text. What usually works for me is to highlight the entire 
contents of the table (just the table, not including the caption) and 
reduce the size of the font.


You didn't indicate whether your tables are too wide, too long or both. 
 For tables that fit the page width but are too long, you can switch to 
a longtable.

I am behind a firewall but the installation of Lyx on my desktop computer (also

I will try this evening at home, without firewall, but it seems to be another

This means that MiKTeX was not correctly installed. As I wrote, the 
safest way is to use inly the LyX installer, that automatically installs 
MiKTeX for you and also does the configuration for you.

Re: a few chapter*s between TOC and chapter 1 (NOT part of TOC)???

[Joe(theWordy)Philbrook]

It would appear that on Feb 23, Helge Hafting did say:

 This works for document class book:
 
 Immediately after the TOC (before your chapter*), an ERT box with
 \pagestyle{plain}
 This gets rid of the running header you didn't want. You will still
 get contents on TOC pages, if your TOC spans more than one page.
 
 The first normal text in the first chapter should start with an ERT box with:
 \pagestyle{headings}
 in order to reinstate the running headers that you probably want for your
 numbered chapters.

-snipped. .  .   .. .  .   .. .stuff

Thanks Helge, that was even better than my old notes. I'm betting that most
of the details I'd need if'n I chose to get fancy with those headings
could be found by googleing (or since I don't like google tracking me
scroogleing) some of the keywords in your reply. That would likely lead to
LaTeX solutions which for me would simply be wrapped in ERT boxes...

But as it is, You already gave me the exact solution I wanted for the
current project.

Are you using anything other than the default .ui file?

Re: Pre-reform Russian characters in LyX

Hi Andrey,

The general answer for LaTeX is here:

http://www.christopherculver.com/en/computing/latexocs.php

and here: http://www.christopherculver.com/en/computing/latex.php

I'll leave it to people who know how the encoding works in LyX, since
that can be tricky.

The other problem is that Unicode fonts do not automatically work in
LyX--it can only render symbols it knows about. Whatever you discover,
we should add some instructions on the LinguistLyX page
(http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX).

I haven't found a way to do it using Covington numbering, which is
what I usually use. You can either have all examples numbered as
sub-examples and not have a group heading for them, or just use crude

Hi,

I have installed Lyx 1.6.5 on 2 computers (both on Windows xp). The
first one was with an old Miktex 2.7 and I have no problem.

The second one, my laptop, didn't have latex so I installed miktex 2.8
(complete version) first.
Then I have installed Lyx 1..6.5 but I had a problem: all the layouts
are not recognized so I can't view neither print documents (document
class not available says Lyx when loading the file)
When I look at the texclass.lst, all layouts seem to be set at false.

I 've just tried to desinstall Miktek and Lyx, and to reinstall (first
Miktex then Lyx as previously): but I still have the same problem (and
the same texclass.lst, see attached file).
When I use Texworks (installed with Miktex) on a short example the
layouts (book, article) seem to work and Texworks generates the pdf, so
Miktex doesn't seem to be the problem?

What's wrong with my installation?

Thanks in advance,
Frank. textclass.lst

Re: Adding a text box over an image?

[Helge Hafting]

KimberlyQ wrote:

I am a new Lyx user, hoping to write a technical manual using this wonderful
program.  Beyond the introduction and first chapter, most of the entire
manual consists of a table on every page.  The table covers the full page.
The table itself is the same on every page. Only the data within the table
changes from page to page.  I have created all the table pages and data in
Ms Word. I can insert them into Lyx as a screenshot image. 


The body of the manual will be one or more text boxes overlaying the table
on each page.  The text boxes explain the changing data in the table.  Of
course, I could finish my book by adding the text boxes to the tables in
Word, but I was hoping to take advantage of the formatting, indexing, and
cross-referencing ease of Lyx. 


My research as a novice Lyx user indicates that adding a text box to an
image can't be done.  Before I give up and stick with Word for this project,
I wanted to ask the group of experts if it is possible, or if any workable
alternatives come to mind.  


I assume your table-images doesn't cover the width of the page, so that 
there is room for text on the side? Or at least some of the image is

blank, so you want text to go there?

One approach:
Insert a box, and put the image inside that. Set the box width to 
something less than 100% of the line length. (For example, 60%)

This leave room for another box beside it, whose width you set to the
remaining (such as 40% of the line length.) Don't use textwidth 
because that includes margins. But boxes are not supposed to stick

into the margins.  Type your text inside the second box.

Note that the table-image can be wider than the box containing the
image. In that case, the box of text will partially overlay the image. 
This will work if your image is blank in the overlapping region. Or if 
you don't mind text on top of the image. (Lightly colored image with

low detail doesn't ruin the text.)

I would not recommend combining word  lyx this way, as LyX can do 
better most of what word can do anyway. But since you already has these 
table-images . . . perhaps you don't want to re-create the tables in 
LyX. You may want to consider a LyX-only solution the next time though, 
as LyX has good support for tables.


Using boxes is only one way of setting text and images/tables side by 
side. The box way doesn't work well with page breaking, but I got the

impression that the text on one page is supposed to match the
image on that page. So you probably don't want automatic page breaking here
anyway?

Some other ways:

* Use the multicol package, have images in one column and text in
  another.
* Use a float per table-image, and put the accompagnying text inside
  the float. Either under the image, or to the side by using boxes.
  Useful to get automatic cross-referencing, as figure references
  (almost) require floats.
* use text-wrap floats to put text to the side of images. This doesn't
  always work though, so might be trick for a book that contain lots
  of these constructs.
* Use a two-cell table. Put the image inside one cell, and the text in
  the cell beside it.
* If you re-do the tables in LyX, simply have an extra table cell
  with the text inside it. This text-cell could be large.

Re: a few chapter*s between TOC and chapter 1 (NOT part of TOC)???

[Helge Hafting]

Joe(theWordy)Philbrook wrote:

The sequence is the TOC followed by a tex code box containing:
\mainmatter
\pagenumbering{roman}

Then a few short chapter*(s) That are not part of the numbered chapters.
And it is not desired for them to be labeled as contents in the output 
(pdf)


Then there is another tex code box containing:
\pagenumbering{arabic}

And finally  Chapter 1...

How can I stop output from inserting the word contents into the
the page header of the chapter*{s} without relocating them to
before the TOC, nor after chapter 1???


This works for document class book:

Immediately after the TOC (before your chapter*), an ERT box with
\pagestyle{plain}
This gets rid of the running header you didn't want. You will still
get contents on TOC pages, if your TOC spans more than one page.

The first normal text in the first chapter should start with an ERT box 
with:

\pagestyle{headings}
in order to reinstate the running headers that you probably want for 
your numbered chapters.


The page styles:
empty - nothing, not even a page number
plain - a page number, nothing more
headings  - page number and running header (with the chapter name,
usually)
myheadings- user defined by using more ERT (\markright or \markboth
whenever you want the running headers to change)
fancy - Even more user defined. Maybe you want a logo in the
heading, a colored page number, anything goes but
more ERT is needed.

Note that the \pagestyle command is only necessary if you want running
headers in the normal chapters but not elsewhere. If you don't want
any running headers at all, just turn them off in document settings,
page style set to plain.  No need for ERT then.

To style a single page differently: \thispagestyle{plain} in an ERT box 
anywhere on that page.

Anyone had the same issues and knows a solution or workaround?


Why do you need to do this?

If you insert graphichs with Insert-graphichs (instead of using
\includegraphics directly) then the temp directory shouldn't cause
you trouble. Are you sure you need to use \includegraphics?

Most likely, LyX could not find Miktex at the time LyX configured itself.

If things have changed, just do a Tools-Reconfigure in LyX, and it 
might fix itself. If it still doesn't find anything, check that

the miktex executables is in the PATH. (LyX does not try to find it
anywhere else.)

Test:
Open a cmd.exe window, try a command like pdflatex. If that fails, you 
have found the problem. Correct the PATH so it includes whatever folder 
the miktex program files resides in. Then, restart LyX and do the

Tools-Reconfigure. Restart LyX again, and it ought to work.

 I do not quite understand what you want, but you can redefine the subexamples

I have in mind something like this:

\item b label{1b}

So that I can refer to all the subexamples by 1 and to each

I would hope that when I add a subexample a group label would be inserted.
Is this possible from the layout definitions? I tried to look at it

It is important that you have an open Internet connection when 
installing LyX. This assures that all LaTeX text classes are installed.


The easiest way to fix your problem would be to

- uninstall LyX _completely_
- uninstall MiKTeX _completely_
- uninstall Aspell and its dictionaries (if this program was installed)
- open an Internet connection
- reinstall LyX using the complete version of this installer:

Re: resize table, caption

Hi:
I have tables that are too large to output to one table.  I am trying to

Many thanks,

I'm using 1.5.6 on a MAC



If this is inside a table float, just put the initial ERT block inside 
the float (not outside the float), along with the table and the closing 
brace (in ERT).


From what I've seen on the web, \resizebox is designed to squish 
graphics, not text. What usually works for me is to highlight the entire 
contents of the table (just the table, not including the caption) and 
reduce the size of the font.


You didn't indicate whether your tables are too wide, too long or both. 
 For tables that fit the page width but are too long, you can switch to 
a longtable.

I am behind a firewall but the installation of Lyx on my desktop computer (also

I will try this evening at home, without firewall, but it seems to be another

This means that MiKTeX was not correctly installed. As I wrote, the 
safest way is to use inly the LyX installer, that automatically installs 
MiKTeX for you and also does the configuration for you.

Re: a few chapter*s between TOC and chapter 1 (NOT part of TOC)???

[Joe(theWordy)Philbrook]

It would appear that on Feb 23, Helge Hafting did say:

 This works for document class book:
 
 Immediately after the TOC (before your chapter*), an ERT box with
 \pagestyle{plain}
 This gets rid of the running header you didn't want. You will still
 get contents on TOC pages, if your TOC spans more than one page.
 
 The first normal text in the first chapter should start with an ERT box with:
 \pagestyle{headings}
 in order to reinstate the running headers that you probably want for your
 numbered chapters.

-snipped. .  .   .. .  .   .. .stuff

Thanks Helge, that was even better than my old notes. I'm betting that most
of the details I'd need if'n I chose to get fancy with those headings
could be found by googleing (or since I don't like google tracking me
scroogleing) some of the keywords in your reply. That would likely lead to
LaTeX solutions which for me would simply be wrapped in ERT boxes...

But as it is, You already gave me the exact solution I wanted for the
current project.

Are you using anything other than the default .ui file?

Re: Pre-reform Russian characters in LyX

Hi Andrey,

The general answer for LaTeX is here:

http://www.christopherculver.com/en/computing/latexocs.php

and here: http://www.christopherculver.com/en/computing/latex.php

I'll leave it to people who know how the encoding works in LyX, since
that can be tricky.

The other problem is that Unicode fonts do not automatically work in
LyX--it can only render symbols it knows about. Whatever you discover,
we should add some instructions on the LinguistLyX page
(http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX).

I haven't found a way to do it using Covington numbering, which is
what I usually use. You can either have all examples numbered as
sub-examples and not have a group heading for them, or just use crude

Hi,

I have installed Lyx 1.6.5 on 2 computers (both on Windows xp). The
first one was with an old Miktex 2.7 and I have no problem.

The second one, my laptop, didn't have latex so I installed miktex 2.8
(complete version) first.
Then I have installed Lyx 1..6.5 but I had a problem: all the layouts
are not recognized so I can't view neither print documents ("document
class not available" says Lyx when loading the file)
When I look at the texclass.lst, all layouts seem to be set at "false".

I 've just tried to desinstall Miktek and Lyx, and to reinstall (first
Miktex then Lyx as previously): but I still have the same problem (and
the same texclass.lst, see attached file).
When I use Texworks (installed with Miktex) on a short example the
layouts (book, article) seem to work and Texworks generates the pdf, so
Miktex doesn't seem to be the problem?

What's wrong with my installation?

Thanks in advance,
Frank. <>

Re: Adding a text box over an image?

[Helge Hafting]

KimberlyQ wrote:

I am a new Lyx user, hoping to write a technical manual using this wonderful
program.  Beyond the introduction and first chapter, most of the entire
manual consists of a table on every page.  The table covers the full page.
The table itself is the same on every page. Only the data within the table
changes from page to page.  I have created all the table pages and data in
Ms Word. I can insert them into Lyx as a screenshot image. 


The body of the manual will be one or more text boxes overlaying the table
on each page.  The text boxes explain the changing data in the table.  Of
course, I could finish my book by adding the text boxes to the tables in
Word, but I was hoping to take advantage of the formatting, indexing, and
cross-referencing ease of Lyx. 


My research as a novice Lyx user indicates that adding a text box to an
image can't be done.  Before I give up and stick with Word for this project,
I wanted to ask the group of experts if it is possible, or if any workable
alternatives come to mind.  


I assume your table-images doesn't cover the width of the page, so that 
there is room for text on the side? Or at least some of the image is

blank, so you want text to go there?

One approach:
Insert a box, and put the image inside that. Set the box width to 
something less than 100% of the line length. (For example, 60%)

This leave room for another box beside it, whose width you set to the
remaining (such as 40% of the line length.) Don't use "textwidth" 
because that includes margins. But boxes are not supposed to stick

into the margins.  Type your text inside the second box.

Note that the table-image can be wider than the box containing the
image. In that case, the box of text will partially overlay the image. 
This will work if your image is blank in the overlapping region. Or if 
you don't mind text on top of the image. (Lightly colored image with

low detail doesn't ruin the text.)

I would not recommend combining word & lyx this way, as LyX can do 
better most of what word can do anyway. But since you already has these 
table-images . . . perhaps you don't want to re-create the tables in 
LyX. You may want to consider a LyX-only solution the next time though, 
as LyX has good support for tables.


Using boxes is only one way of setting text and images/tables side by 
side. The box way doesn't work well with page breaking, but I got the

impression that the text on one page is supposed to match the
image on that page. So you probably don't want automatic page breaking here
anyway?

Some other ways:

* Use the multicol package, have images in one column and text in
  another.
* Use a float per table-image, and put the accompagnying text inside
  the float. Either under the image, or to the side by using boxes.
  Useful to get automatic cross-referencing, as figure references
  (almost) require floats.
* use text-wrap floats to put text to the side of images. This doesn't
  always work though, so might be trick for a book that contain lots
  of these constructs.
* Use a two-cell table. Put the image inside one cell, and the text in
  the cell beside it.
* If you re-do the tables in LyX, simply have an extra table cell
  with the text inside it. This text-cell could be large.

Re: a few "chapter*"s between TOC and chapter 1 (NOT part of TOC)???

The sequence is the TOC followed by a tex code box containing:

Then there is another tex code box containing:
\pagenumbering{arabic}

And finally  Chapter 1...

How can I stop "output" from inserting the word "contents" into the
the page header of the "chapter*{s} without relocating them to
before the TOC, nor after chapter 1???


This works for document class "book":

Immediately after the TOC (before your chapter*), an ERT box with
\pagestyle{plain}
This gets rid of the running header you didn't want. You will still
get "contents" on TOC pages, if your TOC spans more than one page.

The first normal text in the first chapter should start with an ERT box 
with:

\pagestyle{headings}
in order to reinstate the running headers that you probably want for 
your numbered chapters.


The page styles:
empty - nothing, not even a page number
plain - a page number, nothing more
headings  - page number and running header (with the chapter name,
usually)
myheadings- user defined by using more ERT (\markright or \markboth
whenever you want the running headers to change)
fancy - Even more user defined. Maybe you want a logo in the
heading, a colored page number, anything goes but
more ERT is needed.

Note that the \pagestyle command is only necessary if you want running
headers in the normal chapters but not elsewhere. If you don't want
any running headers at all, just turn them off in document settings,
page style set to "plain".  No need for ERT then.

To style a single page differently: \thispagestyle{plain} in an ERT box 
anywhere on that page.

Anyone had the same issues and knows a solution or workaround?


Why do you need to do this?

If you insert graphichs with Insert->graphichs (instead of using

Most likely, LyX could not find Miktex at the time LyX configured itself.

If things have changed, just do a Tools->Reconfigure in LyX, and it 
might fix itself. If it still doesn't find anything, check that

the miktex executables is in the PATH. (LyX does not try to find it
anywhere else.)

Test:
Open a cmd.exe window, try a command like "pdflatex". If that fails, you 
have found the problem. Correct the PATH so it includes whatever folder 
the miktex program files resides in. Then, restart LyX and do the

Tools->Reconfigure. Restart LyX again, and it ought to work.

I have in mind something like this:

  \begin{enumerate}
\item a \label{1a}
\item b label{1b}

So that I can refer to all the subexamples by 1 and to each
individually, 1a and 1b.
I would hope that when I add a subexample a group label would be inserted.
Is this possible from the layout definitions? I tried to look at it
briefly, but it wasn't clear to me how that would be possible.

No. You will need to use ERT.

It is important that you have an open Internet connection when 
installing LyX. This assures that all LaTeX text classes are installed.


The easiest way to fix your problem would be to

- uninstall LyX _completely_
- uninstall MiKTeX _completely_
- uninstall Aspell and its dictionaries (if this program was installed)
- open an Internet connection
- reinstall LyX using the complete version of this installer:

I'm using 1.5.6 on a MAC



If this is inside a table float, just put the initial ERT block inside 
the float (not outside the float), along with the table and the closing 
brace (in ERT).


From what I've seen on the web, \resizebox is designed to squish 
graphics, not text. What usually works for me is to highlight the entire 
contents of the table (just the table, not including the caption) and 
reduce the size of the font.


You didn't indicate whether your tables are too wide, too long or both. 
 For tables that fit the page width but are too long, you can switch to 
a longtable.

Thanks for your answer.
I am behind a firewall but the installation of Lyx on my desktop computer (also 
behind the firewall) was OK: I had just to install after manually the 
dictionaries.
I will try this evening at home, without firewall, but it seems to be another 
problem (otherwise my desktop installation wouldn't work).

Currently (at my office), I've just retried but I have the same problem.
I have attached the (French, sorry) error message...
Same symptom in the texclass.lst: all layouts set to "false".

This means that MiKTeX was not correctly installed. As I wrote, the 
safest way is to use inly the LyX installer, that automatically installs 
MiKTeX for you and also does the configuration for you.

Thanks Helge, that was even better than my old notes. I'm betting that most
of the details I'd need if'n I chose to get "fancy" with those headings
could be found by googleing (or since I don't like google tracking me
scroogleing) some of the keywords in your reply. That would likely lead to
LaTeX solutions which for me would simply be wrapped in ERT boxes...

But as it is, You already gave me the exact solution I wanted for the
current project.

Sorry, I misunderstood.

If branches are already defined, it should be Insert > Branch >

just in case.)

Here are some troubleshooting questions:

Are you, by any chance, using any non-standard characters (with
accents, e.g.) in your branch names?

Are you using anything other than the default .ui file?

If you quit LyX, move aside the preferences file in your user
directory, and then restart LyX, do things work?

Perhaps it could be added later? Right now the subexamples make little

Pre-reform Russian characters in LyX

[Andrey]

(here is another attempt to write to this mail list; I am not sure my first
attempt worked; this time I am writing from the blog at Gmane)


Dear LyX usres,

This is my first post to this mailing list, and it's been just a couple of days
since I started exploring LyX to see if it can suit my needs. I'm also
Latex-illiterate. So please be patient with me ;-)
 
I am writing papers that are mostly in Russian, but may have some passages in
English or in Greek. I didn't have any problems typesetting texts in these
languages in LyX under Ubuntu Karmic. The problem arouse when I needed to insert
some obsolete Russian characters that were used before the 20th century. Namely,
the letters yat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yat), fita
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fita) or izhitsa
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izhitsa): if I insert them to LyX via Character
Map, LyX refuses to produce a pdf, complaining that it can't recognize these
characters. Is there any way to solve this problem?
 
 Thanks in advance,
 
 Andrey
 

Re: Pre-reform Russian characters in LyX

[Maria Gouskova]

Hi Andrey,

The general answer for LaTeX is here:

http://www.christopherculver.com/en/computing/latexocs.php

and here: http://www.christopherculver.com/en/computing/latex.php

I'll leave it to people who know how the encoding works in LyX, since
that can be tricky.

The other problem is that Unicode fonts do not automatically work in
LyX--it can only render symbols it knows about. Whatever you discover,
we should add some instructions on the LinguistLyX page
(http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX).

Re: LinguistLyx: label on group of subexamples

[Maria Gouskova]

I haven't found a way to do it using Covington numbering, which is
what I usually use. You can either have all examples numbered as
sub-examples and not have a group heading for them, or just use crude
manual numbering for your (a) and (b) sub-examples and use automatic
labeling and cross-referencing for the main example.

Thanks Maria. Yes, I know. I was wandering if it would be possible to
do it the way subequations are done (only without the "super"
equation).
I came up with the following, only if it was possible to do it without ERT

\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{(\arabic{enumi})}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item \label{1}
  \begin{enumerate}
\item \label{1a} example a
\item \label{1b} example b
  \end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}
(\ref{1}) and (\ref{1a}) and (\ref{1b})
