Spell Checking under Mac OS

[Gabriele Genta]

Hello everyone,
I've got a problem with LyX spellchecking under mac os x, it seems it
isn't able to save new words to the dictionary when I click Add in
the UI. I'm talking about LyX version 1.6.5, with aspell 0.60.6
(installed through homebrew).
I've read on the internet about this problem and someone suggests to
make modifications to the aspell.conf file int /usr/local/etc, but I
don't have that file and can't manage to find a default online.
I've also found that aspell created a personal dictionary for the
words I added in ~/.aspell.it.pws (I've opened it with a text editor
and it contains exactly what I added), but that doesn't seem to affect
spell checking inside LyX: it keeps on asking for the same words.
What can I do?
Thanks a lot,

   Gabriele Genta

I tried so many things that I must have played with encodings, at some
point. But I actually think the problem was that the  Lyx file was in utf8x
and Openoffice did not like that. I eventually found an encoding that
worked. I also found out that some fonts worked and some didn't, for the
ligature problem. I seem to remember that the Bera family and Adobe
minionpro (my default ones)  did not, while CM and derivatives eventually
worked.
As I said, I eventually got the job done, but I shiver at the thought of
repeating the experience, as I will have to do on a much bigger scale in a
couple of months.

Cheers,

S.

It seems to me like you want to use the A4 paper format but you are not 
using it consistently. Some pages are wider than others and what not. It 
could be that a setting is missing somewhere to use A4 format.

Re: 64bit Lyx 1.6.4 cannot view postscript

Hello to you all  --  This is my first message to the list.

I have the 64bit version of Lyx 1.6.4 running on 64bit SUSE 11.1 together

Lyx would not convert to pdf until I installed kdegraphics3-pdf and
kdegraphics3-postscript.

   

Are you sure that LyX would not convert to PDF? This sounds like...


Without those packages, it seems the 64bit installation does not have a
version of kpdf (information off the web).

  Fine, I can now view as pdf and print that. I can also view as dvi; but
that's as far as it goes.

   
...what it wouldn't do is ViewPDF. Would FileExportPDF work? Whether 
kpdf (or any other pdf viewer) is installed should be irrelevant to 
LyX's export capabilities, though it is of course relevant to its 
viewing capabilities.



I cannot view as postscript. I get a window with an error message:

An error occurred whilst running dvips -t a4 -o 'newfile1.ps'

  In the terminal window, I get the same error message followed by:

Error: Cannot convert file.

   
The first step towards debugging this is to see if dvips will run from 
outside LyX. So (i) export your LyX file to LaTeX; (ii) run the 
following, from within the directory where that file now is:

latex newfile1.tex
dvips -t a4 -o newfile1.ps newfile1.dvi

Lyx questions: code listings, .layout files, scripting, and alternative applications

[Wilson, Sandy]

I'm a veteran LaTeX user along with a few others who are trying to wean
other colleagues away from

Word and over to LaTeX.  Lyx was suggested as an alternative.  I've
tried importing working .tex files

to Lyx but it destroys some environments like verbatim, i.e. it removes
the linebreaks which are vital to

the working of the verbatim mode.  I read that Lyx supports the listings
package so I converted all my

code listings done with verbatim over to lstlisting environments but it
still destroys them on import.

My .layout file for my non-standard .cls file includes all the standard
.inc files including stdinsets.  Is this a

fundamental design feature of Lyx that it can't deal with importing some
types of environments?

Is there something I am missing in my .layout file that would import
them properly?  Is there a way of

scripting the import to put listings in what seems to be called an ERT?
What I'm trying to develop here is a way of

sharing the same .tex file between LaTeX users and Lyx users without it
getting corrupted in the import/export.

 

If this is a fundamentally undoable operation, does anyone have any
suggestions for alternatives like

Texnicenter, Winshell, or TexWork that can do this.  Scientific Word is
probably out of the running due

to its high cost.  Any help would be appreciated.

I expect a first Win version for alpha 2. For me it turned out that 
alpha 1 was too buggy, that's why I haven't released a Win installer for 
it. But in the meantime the most critical crashes are fixed.

The new installer will most probably not be finished before LyX 2.0 final.

IEEE paper submission

[Richard Brown]

Hi,

I have written a paper using the IEEE template in lyx. It is now time to
submit that paper, IEEE wants either a latex, word, or rtf. When I export
the lyx file to plain latex, it does not produce usable output - part of the
paper is there, some of the figures are missing and the references show up
as question marks (when I try to re-make a pdf from the latex file). Is
there an easy way to make a plain latex file from lyx that has all the
figures and references done correctly? Thanks.

fancy headers and geometry.sty -- Lessons learned

[stefano franchi]

I am formatting a manuscript to specs provided by the publisher. They want
me to provide a true camera-ready copy: sheets of papers, not pdf files.
Here is what I discovered after a morning spent playing with the
geometry.sty package and fancy headers:

1. Selecting headings style fancy in the Document settings dialog and
setting page parameters in the preamble with the geometry package does not
work. This is because lyx loads the package fancyhdr in the Lyx part of the
preamble, i.e before the geometry package is loaded. Result: the
fancyheaders package does not use margins set by the geometry package.
solution: load fancy headers package manually in the user part of the
preamble, after the geometry package


2. This one drove me crazy: it turns out that the Okular's default print
settings work like Acrobat reader's Fit to page print settings. That is,
Okular will happily and silently shrink/expand the margin by several mm when
printing, therefore obliterating the parameters set up by the geometry
package settings. Solution: print from Acrobat reader (with page scaling set
to none, of course). I don't know if there is a way to change Okular's
behavior, or if it is one of those obscure Kde settings---I could not find
anything to change behavior.

Cheers,


S.

Stefano,

  That's quite interesting.

  Springer-Verlag wanted both .pdf files and the raw TeX files. They produce
output at 2400 dpi for their printing negatives. I suppose that printers

 This is Rodopi. I really don't understand why they want the paper version,

since they will have to actually photograph the pages instead of going
directly to negatives, I don't see the savings. But my understanding of
printing technology may not be current.

Sounds to me like you didn't have the aspell development libraries (or other
spell developement libraries) when configuring. I also had that problem under

LyX's TeX import is not yet feature complete. It understands about 80% 
off all LyX features, but not all and listings is an example for that. 
We are however working to raise the percentage.
But the TeX import doesn't lose any information: for things it cannot 
convert, it imports it to the LyX file as plain TeX, so that the PDF 
compiled out of the LyX file will look the same as if you would have 
compiled the PDF out of the TeX-file.
if this is not the case, please help us to fix that by reporting these

Collaborating between LyX ans TeX-users should be possible. The problem 
that will most probably arise is that plain TeX-users don't like the 
TeX-code created by LyX. But except from that my personal experience is 
that collaboration is possible.

TeXnicenter and friends are text editors optimized for TeX while LyX 
follows a completely different approach:

Therefore LyX has its own fileformat (that will btw. the next time be 
transformed to XML).

I don't understand. You exported your LyX-file to latex (pdflatex). 
What have you done next to compile the resulting TeX-file?

(I assume that only run pdflatex once and missed to run bibtex.)

But anyway, all you have to do is to export your LyX-file as latex 
(pdflatex) and ZIP the result together with the images and the 
BibTeX-file you have used in your LyX file. Assure that the images in 
the ZIP-file are in the same subfolder like the on on your PC. So if 
your LyX file is e.g. in


C:\LyXfiles
the images in
C:\LyXfiles\images\paper
the BibTeX-files in
C:\LyXfiles\biblio

your ZIP file must have the subfolders

double quotes

[Rodrigo Fresneda]

Hi lyx-users, 

whenever I use double quotes   in lyx,   I get  instead the expression 
\textquotedbl{} in the plain latex file. Strangely enough, lyx does not
translate \textquotedbl{} to   if I attempt to import the tex file.
This behavior does not affect latex compilation, but it does strain my 
collaborations with scientific workplace users. 
Why doesn't lyx simply export  to ?

best regards,
rodrigo.

You are talking about the  character, which is not a double quote at 
all. Rather, it is the inch character, or something of the sort. 
Still, you are right that \textquotedbl ought to be imported as , since 
the impossible ideal is to have roundtrip export and import. I'd suggest 
you file a bug about this at

Spell Checking under Mac OS

[Gabriele Genta]

Hello everyone,
I've got a problem with LyX spellchecking under mac os x, it seems it
isn't able to save new words to the dictionary when I click Add in
the UI. I'm talking about LyX version 1.6.5, with aspell 0.60.6
(installed through homebrew).
I've read on the internet about this problem and someone suggests to
make modifications to the aspell.conf file int /usr/local/etc, but I
don't have that file and can't manage to find a default online.
I've also found that aspell created a personal dictionary for the
words I added in ~/.aspell.it.pws (I've opened it with a text editor
and it contains exactly what I added), but that doesn't seem to affect
spell checking inside LyX: it keeps on asking for the same words.
What can I do?
Thanks a lot,

   Gabriele Genta

I tried so many things that I must have played with encodings, at some
point. But I actually think the problem was that the  Lyx file was in utf8x
and Openoffice did not like that. I eventually found an encoding that
worked. I also found out that some fonts worked and some didn't, for the
ligature problem. I seem to remember that the Bera family and Adobe
minionpro (my default ones)  did not, while CM and derivatives eventually
worked.
As I said, I eventually got the job done, but I shiver at the thought of
repeating the experience, as I will have to do on a much bigger scale in a
couple of months.

Cheers,

S.

It seems to me like you want to use the A4 paper format but you are not

Lyx questions: code listings, .layout files, scripting, and alternative applications

[Wilson, Sandy]

I'm a veteran LaTeX user along with a few others who are trying to wean
other colleagues away from

Word and over to LaTeX.  Lyx was suggested as an alternative.  I've
tried importing working .tex files

to Lyx but it destroys some environments like verbatim, i.e. it removes
the linebreaks which are vital to

the working of the verbatim mode.  I read that Lyx supports the listings
package so I converted all my

code listings done with verbatim over to lstlisting environments but it
still destroys them on import.

My .layout file for my non-standard .cls file includes all the standard
.inc files including stdinsets.  Is this a

fundamental design feature of Lyx that it can't deal with importing some
types of environments?

Is there something I am missing in my .layout file that would import
them properly?  Is there a way of

scripting the import to put listings in what seems to be called an ERT?
What I'm trying to develop here is a way of

sharing the same .tex file between LaTeX users and Lyx users without it
getting corrupted in the import/export.

 

If this is a fundamentally undoable operation, does anyone have any
suggestions for alternatives like

Texnicenter, Winshell, or TexWork that can do this.  Scientific Word is
probably out of the running due

to its high cost.  Any help would be appreciated.

I expect a first Win version for alpha 2. For me it turned out that 
alpha 1 was too buggy, that's why I haven't released a Win installer for 
it. But in the meantime the most critical crashes are fixed.

The new installer will most probably not be finished before LyX 2.0 final.

IEEE paper submission

[Richard Brown]

Hi,

I have written a paper using the IEEE template in lyx. It is now time to
submit that paper, IEEE wants either a latex, word, or rtf. When I export
the lyx file to plain latex, it does not produce usable output - part of the
paper is there, some of the figures are missing and the references show up
as question marks (when I try to re-make a pdf from the latex file). Is
there an easy way to make a plain latex file from lyx that has all the
figures and references done correctly? Thanks.

fancy headers and geometry.sty -- Lessons learned

[stefano franchi]

I am formatting a manuscript to specs provided by the publisher. They want
me to provide a true camera-ready copy: sheets of papers, not pdf files.
Here is what I discovered after a morning spent playing with the
geometry.sty package and fancy headers:

1. Selecting headings style fancy in the Document settings dialog and
setting page parameters in the preamble with the geometry package does not
work. This is because lyx loads the package fancyhdr in the Lyx part of the
preamble, i.e before the geometry package is loaded. Result: the
fancyheaders package does not use margins set by the geometry package.
solution: load fancy headers package manually in the user part of the
preamble, after the geometry package


2. This one drove me crazy: it turns out that the Okular's default print
settings work like Acrobat reader's Fit to page print settings. That is,
Okular will happily and silently shrink/expand the margin by several mm when
printing, therefore obliterating the parameters set up by the geometry
package settings. Solution: print from Acrobat reader (with page scaling set
to none, of course). I don't know if there is a way to change Okular's
behavior, or if it is one of those obscure Kde settings---I could not find
anything to change behavior.

Cheers,


S.

  That's quite interesting.

  Springer-Verlag wanted both .pdf files and the raw TeX files. They produce
output at 2400 dpi for their printing negatives. I suppose that printers

 This is Rodopi. I really don't understand why they want the paper version,
except that it's going to save them a few bucks on the printing front. But
since they will have to actually photograph the pages instead of going
directly to negatives, I don't see the savings. But my understanding of
printing technology may not be current.

LyX's TeX import is not yet feature complete. It understands about 80% 
off all LyX features, but not all and listings is an example for that. 
We are however working to raise the percentage.
But the TeX import doesn't lose any information: for things it cannot 
convert, it imports it to the LyX file as plain TeX, so that the PDF 
compiled out of the LyX file will look the same as if you would have 
compiled the PDF out of the TeX-file.
if this is not the case, please help us to fix that by reporting these 
issues to our bugtracker.

Collaborating between LyX ans TeX-users should be possible. The problem 
that will most probably arise is that plain TeX-users don't like the 
TeX-code created by LyX. But except from that my personal experience is 
that collaboration is possible.

TeXnicenter and friends are text editors optimized for TeX while LyX 
follows a completely different approach:

Therefore LyX has its own fileformat (that will btw. the next time be 
transformed to XML).

I don't understand. You exported your LyX-file to latex (pdflatex). 
What have you done next to compile the resulting TeX-file?

(I assume that only run pdflatex once and missed to run bibtex.)

But anyway, all you have to do is to export your LyX-file as latex 
(pdflatex) and ZIP the result together with the images and the 
BibTeX-file you have used in your LyX file. Assure that the images in 
the ZIP-file are in the same subfolder like the on on your PC. So if 
your LyX file is e.g. in


C:\LyXfiles
the images in
C:\LyXfiles\images\paper
the BibTeX-files in
C:\LyXfiles\biblio

your ZIP file must have the subfolders

images

I use it with WIndows 7 starter edition of my netbook. It works with
Miktex without any problem. I have used Uwe's alternative installer
(the complete version), if I remember well.

2010/3/31 Rudi Eycken eycken...@usa.net:
 Is it possible to install LyX on a Windows 7 PC. (I need to buy a new PC
 and I need to use LyX).

 Thanks in advance.
 With kind regards,

 Rudi Eycken

Rudi,

Just this morning I installed LyX 1.6.5 on a new Windows 7 (64-bit) system 
using the LyXWinInstaller complete variant 
(http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller).

The installation appeared to run with no problems at all, and the installed 
LyX seems to behave exactly the same as 1.6.5 running on my Linux system, 
though I haven't had time to do much with it yet.  I did install Acrobat 
Reader 9 first so it would be found by LyX, and it works as expected for View 
PDF.

double quotes

[Rodrigo Fresneda]

Hi lyx-users, 

whenever I use double quotes   in lyx,   I get  instead the expression 
\textquotedbl{} in the plain latex file. Strangely enough, lyx does not
translate \textquotedbl{} to   if I attempt to import the tex file.
This behavior does not affect latex compilation, but it does strain my 
collaborations with scientific workplace users. 
Why doesn't lyx simply export  to ?

best regards,
rodrigo.

You are talking about the  character, which is not a double quote at 
all. Rather, it is the inch character, or something of the sort. 
Still, you are right that \textquotedbl ought to be imported as , since 
the impossible ideal is to have roundtrip export and import. I'd suggest 
you file a bug about this at

Hi,

Many thanks to the team for this release!

I could not get the inline spelling working. Is this disabled on this

Spell Checking under Mac OS

[Gabriele Genta]

Hello everyone,
I've got a problem with LyX spellchecking under mac os x, it seems it
isn't able to save new words to the dictionary when I click "Add" in
the UI. I'm talking about LyX version 1.6.5, with aspell 0.60.6
(installed through homebrew).
I've read on the internet about this problem and someone suggests to
make modifications to the aspell.conf file int /usr/local/etc, but I
don't have that file and can't manage to find a default online.
I've also found that aspell created a personal dictionary for the
words I added in ~/.aspell.it.pws (I've opened it with a text editor
and it contains exactly what I added), but that doesn't seem to affect
spell checking inside LyX: it keeps on asking for the same words.
What can I do?
Thanks a lot,

   Gabriele Genta

I tried so many things that I must have played with encodings, at some
point. But I actually think the problem was that the  Lyx file was in utf8x
and Openoffice did not like that. I eventually found an encoding that
worked. I also found out that some fonts worked and some didn't, for the
ligature problem. I seem to remember that the Bera family and Adobe
minionpro (my default ones)  did not, while CM and derivatives eventually
worked.
As I said, I eventually got the job done, but I shiver at the thought of
repeating the experience, as I will have to do on a much bigger scale in a
couple of months.

Cheers,

S.

Some attempts to convert an existing Tex example to a lyx document didn't
work properly..

It seems to me like you want to use the A4 paper format but you are not 
using it consistently. Some pages are wider than others and what not. It 
could be that a setting is missing somewhere to use A4 format.

Also the menu item is grayed out (F7 doesn't do it either).
I just double checked Lyx 1.6.5 with aspell 0.60.6 (MacPorts) and it works fine.

Hello to you all  --  This is my first message to the list.

I have the 64bit version of Lyx 1.6.4 running on 64bit SUSE 11.1 together
with Texlive.

Lyx would not convert to pdf until I installed kdegraphics3-pdf and
kdegraphics3-postscript.

   

Are you sure that LyX would not convert to PDF? This sounds like...


Without those packages, it seems the 64bit installation does not have a
version of kpdf (information off the web).

  Fine, I can now view as pdf and print that. I can also view as dvi; but
that's as far as it goes.

   
...what it wouldn't do is View>PDF. Would File>Export>PDF work? Whether 
kpdf (or any other pdf viewer) is installed should be irrelevant to 
LyX's export capabilities, though it is of course relevant to its 
viewing capabilities.



I cannot view as postscript. I get a window with an error message:

An error occurred whilst running dvips -t a4 -o 'newfile1.ps'

  In the terminal window, I get the same error message followed by:

The first step towards debugging this is to see if dvips will run from 
outside LyX. So (i) export your LyX file to LaTeX; (ii) run the 
following, from within the directory where that file now is:

latex newfile1.tex
dvips -t a4 -o newfile1.ps newfile1.dvi
Do you get the same error?

Lyx questions: code listings, .layout files, scripting, and alternative applications

[Wilson, Sandy]

I'm a veteran LaTeX user along with a few others who are trying to wean
other colleagues away from

Word and over to LaTeX.  Lyx was suggested as an alternative.  I've
tried importing working .tex files

to Lyx but it destroys some environments like verbatim, i.e. it removes
the linebreaks which are vital to

the working of the verbatim mode.  I read that Lyx supports the listings
package so I converted all my

code listings done with verbatim over to lstlisting environments but it
still destroys them on import.

My .layout file for my non-standard .cls file includes all the standard
.inc files including stdinsets.  Is this a

fundamental design feature of Lyx that it can't deal with importing some
types of environments?

Is there something I am missing in my .layout file that would import
them properly?  Is there a way of

scripting the import to put listings in what seems to be called an ERT?
What I'm trying to develop here is a way of

sharing the same .tex file between LaTeX users and Lyx users without it
getting corrupted in the import/export.

 

If this is a fundamentally undoable operation, does anyone have any
suggestions for alternatives like

Texnicenter, Winshell, or TexWork that can do this.  Scientific Word is
probably out of the running due

to its high cost.  Any help would be appreciated.

I expect a first Win version for alpha 2. For me it turned out that 
alpha 1 was too buggy, that's why I haven't released a Win installer for 
it. But in the meantime the most critical crashes are fixed.

The new installer will most probably not be finished before LyX 2.0 final.

IEEE paper submission

[Richard Brown]

Hi,

I have written a paper using the IEEE template in lyx. It is now time to
submit that paper, IEEE wants either a latex, word, or rtf. When I export
the lyx file to plain latex, it does not produce usable output - part of the
paper is there, some of the figures are missing and the references show up
as question marks (when I try to re-make a pdf from the latex file). Is
there an easy way to make a plain latex file from lyx that has all the
figures and references done correctly? Thanks.

fancy headers and geometry.sty --> Lessons learned

[stefano franchi]

I am formatting a manuscript to specs provided by the publisher. They want
me to provide a "true" camera-ready copy: sheets of papers, not pdf files.
Here is what I discovered after a morning spent playing with the
geometry.sty package and fancy headers:

1. Selecting headings style "fancy" in the Document settings dialog and
setting page parameters in the preamble with the geometry package does not
work. This is because lyx loads the package fancyhdr in the Lyx part of the
preamble, i.e before the geometry package is loaded. Result: the
fancyheaders package does not use margins set by the geometry package.
solution: load fancy headers package manually in the user part of the
preamble, after the geometry package


2. This one drove me crazy: it turns out that the Okular's default print
settings work like Acrobat reader's "Fit to page" print settings. That is,
Okular will happily and silently shrink/expand the margin by several mm when
printing, therefore obliterating the parameters set up by the geometry
package settings. Solution: print from Acrobat reader (with page scaling set
to "none," of course). I don't know if there is a way to change Okular's
behavior, or if it is one of those obscure Kde settings---I could not find
anything to change behavior.

Cheers,


S.

Stefano,

  That's quite interesting.

  Springer-Verlag wanted both .pdf files and the raw TeX files. They produce
output at 2400 dpi for their printing negatives. I suppose that printers
newer than my HP LaserJet 5 can produce that resolution on paper but the
best I can do is 600 dpi (which is more than adequate for everything else.)

if sharing the same .tex file between users is the basic demand lyx is not
probably the best choice. we are trying to fix particular bug reports but
perfect .tex exchangeability is not going to happen from principal reasons.

if you report on examples what exactly fails in your case there maybe chance
to get it right.

wikipedia has nice sheet comparing tex editors, you can try to choose
the one best suitable for your needs.

Sounds to me like you didn't have the aspell development libraries (or other
spell developement libraries) when configuring. I also had that problem under
linux (debian). I installed libaspell-dev and now spelling is working. Not sure
what the right package is under OsX or how to install it though.

OK, this is really a LaTeX question, so tell me if I'm misusing the list:

Do I show the transpose of a matrix A as A^T, or is there a specific
