Hyperlink to Local PDFs
Hi, I am a newb to LyX and LaTeX. I apologize if this is (a) not the right forum/locale to ask my question in and (b) the answer to this question is somewhere on the website and I am just too stupid to find it (I spent several hours searching - at least I can't find an answer to my question). I am trying to get LyX to hyperlink to a local pdf such that a clickable "name" field in the pdf created by lyx opens a desired pdf (located in the same folder as the LyX document and the pdf). I want to use local references because I am using dropbox with a colleague, I use a mac, he uses Windows. If I am not being clear about what I am trying to do, I will try to explain again: I am working on a joint research paper, we are trying to write it in LaTeX, we would like the final PDF produced by LyX to link to PDFs in the same folder as the LyX document so that we can quickly jump to references. Essentially, I am writing him notes and saying: see here, and want him to be able to jump there. If the hyperlink would also work in LyX and/or anyone could give me advice on how to jump to a specific section in a pdf or how best to annotate said pdf this would all be REALLY helpful. Thank you so much for understanding, sorry to be such a newbie if my questions seem stupid. N.B. I am using a Mac 10.6.3 and LyX 1.6.6 Sincerely, -J Heimark
bibtex support when using Xetex
Hi list, I setup lyx to use xetex ( following advice from http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/XeTeX) , xetex works well but the output pdf doesn't contain my references. I suppose lyx is hard coded to call bibtex , but it seems that it is not the case when using xetex, anyone had similar experience or solution to this ? thanks -- Please consider the environment before you print this mail Zhen Zhang Zhejiang University Yuquan Campus MSN:fury_rob...@hotmail.com

Congratulations on a job well done Alex! I just downloaded 0.99, ran it against my book "Twenty Eight Tales of Troubleshooting", and had it build me an HTML file. Frankly, I expected it to crash and burn on a file that size, but instead for the most part eLyXer worked perfectly. Rather than elaborate on the thousands of things eLyXer did right, I'll list a few of the things that were less than perfect: MINOR AGGRAVATIONS: * Parts, Chapters and Sections weren't distinct enough in their font or look. Probably I could fix that by changing your included CSS file or making one just for this book. * Graphics are the right size in the book for screen reading, but are too small in the HTML file. I imagine I could either do some config on eLyXer or run a postprocessor to correctly size the graphics. MEDIUM CONCERNS * As everyone knows, I fine-tune the heck out of my front matter. ElYxer dropped the first 2.5 pages of my book, starting in the middle of page 3. Nothing that can't be worked around, but... GENUINE WORRIES * eLyXer wrote .png copies of my book's graphics in my existing images directory. With this particular book that's no big deal because my book used .gif images. But what if my book had used .png images -- would they have been overwritten with (presumably smaller) .png copies, thereby changing the appearance of the book? I'd suggest that if the book has images in the images directory, you copy them into the images_elyxer directory. If it has images in the mypictures directory, you copy them into the mypictures_elyxer directory. If they're in the current directory (ugly way to do things, but just saying), copy them into a new directory hard code named elyxer_images. I know probably eLyXer has code to prevent overwriting, but the user who wants to use eLyXer naively would appreciate the new directories being used for eLyXer generated graphics. === Good work Alex -- it converted wonderfully.

index, page range problem
Hi,
Lyx (Koma or Memoir) on Mac OS X (10.5.8 PPC) doesn't generate page
range in index list. I insert "Jim|(" and then "Jim|)" but the
generated index shows just "Jim,".
Any help greatly appreciated.

Windows binaries 1.6.6.1
I have just installed 1.6.6.1 on Windows XP. I found that the Help menu options are mostly broken. Nothing happens when I select Introduction, Tutorial, etc. except on the bottom status line it displays the command. I did a full install including MikTeX. It seems that not all the documentation is being installed. I went back to 1.6.5 and things work much better. I had used the German and the Greek mirrors to get my copies of 1.6.6.1.
eLyXer 0.99 released
Hi everyone, Version 0.99 of eLyXer, the LyX to HTML converter, has just been released. This version features (by popular request) many improvements in BibTeX, and the new --template option for HTML templates. Feature completeness for the upcoming 1.0 should now be definitive, so the code will be frozen except for fixes. Once more, please report back any issues so that 1.0 is as complete and bug-free as possible. Major improvements include: --- – BibTeX: improved template definitions, variable citing styles, better parsing. – Added option --template to use an HTML template and substitute , ... – Added option --copyright to add a copyright notice at the bottom (no longer there by default). Deprecated old option --nocopy. – Added support for including files as a code listing. --- Complete changelog: http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/changelog.html Download from nongnu.org mirrors: https://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=elyxer If the new version has not hit your favorite mirror yet: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases-noredirect/elyxer/ Thanks to everyone who contributed, and to the rest thank you for your patience.

Re: Old Beamer Class Presentation Lost Navigation Links
Does the minimal example now work for you (including showing the nav links)? If so, that suggests there's something in the full presentation that's causing the problem. /Paul

Paul, I would concur if all presentations lacked those internal links. They don't. It's only this one. As a matter of fact, in that same subdirectory I have three other presentations (on the same subject but for different audiences) using the same theme and colors, and they all show the internal navigation links. The other presentations (on different subjects and using different themes) also display working links. I'll export the non-working .tex file and a working .tex file in a pair of emacs buffers and compare them line-by-line. When I have the time. Thanks, Rich

You can also right click on the inset (the box), click Settings..., and put a
check mark next to "Break long lines" in the Style section of the Main Settings
tab. Julien's approach is less work if you are going to have a number of
program listing insets and want to allow line breaking in all of them.

It compiles here (minus the logo of course) with the nav links visible and working. So the theme does not seem to be the culprit, and nothing in the preamble, font settings etc. is the culprit. Since the document is not buggered, I suppose that points the finger at your LaTeX installation. /Paul

This minimal tex example [1] works for me with miktex 2.8, provided I
specify the location of memsty.sty. Your error says \setsidefeet is
undefined, but it should get defined in memoir.cls. Sounds like a
problem with your latex distribution, because it should ship memoir.cls
and memsty.sty files that are compatible.

Re: Drag and drop text support on Lyx 1.6.6.1
On 22. juni 2010 18:11, Jose A. Rodrigo wrote: Hi!! First of all congratulations for this useful program and brilliant project!! It is not possible to drag-and-drop text (just by selecting it with mouse pointer) like other text processors i.e. OpenWriter. Do you know when this feature will be added to lyx? I think that it will be very useful for many users. It will be great if this option is available for equation editing as well. Up to now I used copy and paste shortcuts. LyX has copy+paste using mouse only - at least on linux: 1. Mark the text to be copied 2. Move the mouse to where you want to copy it 3. Press the middle mouse button. (Or both buttons, if your mouse only have two buttons.) Dragging a marked is something I don't miss. The keyboard shortcuts are usually much faster than using the mouse - once you get used to them. The reason: One has to take a hand off the keyboard, and aim the mouse carefully. And then move the hand back to the keyboard again. When writing, the hands are on the keyboard by default. None of this is necessary when using keyboard shortcuts. Cut/copy, a few cursor keys, paste. It is the faster way in openoffice too, for that matter. There is even a disadvantage to text dragging - it makes selecting trickier. In LyX, if you select wrong, you can select again immediately. You can even re-start selection in the middle of the existing selection. This is possible only because selection dragging is not implemented. Some mice has limited precision, and occationally mis-selects. Easy to fix when there is no dragging. When there is selection dragging, there is the problem of dropping the selection in the wrong place, and the work of fixing that. This don't happen with a keyboard paste - you don't paste until the cursor is in the right place. But it is easy to loose the mouse button momentarily - at least with some mice. Helge Hafting
