UI - enumerate lists

[Peter Baumgartner]

Is there a way in the LyX user interface to label enumerate lists besides
the standard (arabic)? Using package and module enumitem I've written some
list formats I'm using very often but can't display in LyX their different
labels.

I've tried to define counters at paragraph style and text class level but
the LabelString parameter does not work for me. There is a cryptic footnote
in the manual saying any numbertype other than those described below will
produce arabic numerals, but than the text goes on and describes all
relevant types like alph, roman etc.

I've seen that other people in their modules have used in similar situations
blue font to warn that there is no WYSIWYG. So what: Is this a bug or I'm
doing something wrong?

After typing Alt+c the LyX status bar will show you the available

I looked around there, but I couldn't find anything for \mathbb. :( If

p.s. Note that on LyX with German menus, Alt+c becomes Alt+z


That's really important. I tried Alt+c first. ;)

Problems in 'fig2pdftex.py'

[Langer, Tino]

Hello Lyx-Users,

i have some problems using .fig-files in my lyx document. Whenever I try to
compily my file I get an error message  that the is an error in the
script-file  fig2pdftex.py. 

On the console i see the following message:
NameError: name `mkstemp` is not defined

On the dialog box in lyx I see:
Bei der Ausführung von 
python -tt _some_path_/bin/../Ressources/s
ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.

I added the fig2dev.exe file to path to get the script fig2pstex.py running.

It seems that there are parts of python missing. Is there somebody out there
who can give mit some hints to get ist working?

I use lyx 1.6.7 on windows. (no alt-installer)

Many thanks - Tino

 Oh, I understand what you mean now :)

 The cancel package provides this
 (http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cancel/cancel.pdf).

 Just \usepackage{cancel} in the preamble.

 You can insert it in math mode, but you have to be careful that in the
 source view, you have real braces ({}) around the argument. To do this
 follow these step (example: you want to cancel ab in ab+cd):

 CTRL-M (enter Math Mode)
 \cancel (will appear in red)
 CTRL-L (enter raw LaTeX)
 type the { symbol on your keyboard (will insert a raw { } argument box
 to \cancel)
 fill the box with terms to cancel, here ab
 Exit the brace box and continue the equation: +cd

 I made a similar example in the screenshot attached. Hope this helps.

I'd have to see what you'd tried to do to know what was wrong. Possibly 
the issue is that enumerations can only use the predefined enumi, 
enumii, etc, counters.


I think enunitem and the module are best for one-off changes to lists. 
If you want regularly to use a list that is marked with roman numerals, 
then I'd write a new list type and a little module that contained it, 
such as the attached.

This occurs because LaTeX is trying to fill the page. What you can do is 
to either


- add a pagebreak some paragraphs below the equations
- set the cursor behind the first equation in LyX and press DELETE. If

I looked around there, but I couldn't find anything for \mathbb. :( If

That's really important. I tried Alt+c first. ;)

Problems in 'fig2pdftex.py'

[Langer, Tino]

Hello Lyx-Users,

i have some problems using .fig-files in my lyx document. Whenever I try to
compily my file I get an error message  that the is an error in the
script-file  fig2pdftex.py. 

On the console i see the following message:
NameError: name `mkstemp` is not defined

On the dialog box in lyx I see:
Bei der Ausführung von 
python -tt _some_path_/bin/../Ressources/s
ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.

I added the fig2dev.exe file to path to get the script fig2pstex.py running.

It seems that there are parts of python missing. Is there somebody out there
who can give mit some hints to get ist working?

I use lyx 1.6.7 on windows. (no alt-installer)

Many thanks - Tino

 Oh, I understand what you mean now :)

 The cancel package provides this
 (http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cancel/cancel.pdf).

 Just \usepackage{cancel} in the preamble.

 You can insert it in math mode, but you have to be careful that in the
 source view, you have real braces ({}) around the argument. To do this
 follow these step (example: you want to cancel ab in ab+cd):

 CTRL-M (enter Math Mode)
 \cancel (will appear in red)
 CTRL-L (enter raw LaTeX)
 type the { symbol on your keyboard (will insert a raw { } argument box
 to \cancel)
 fill the box with terms to cancel, here ab
 Exit the brace box and continue the equation: +cd

 I made a similar example in the screenshot attached. Hope this helps.

I think enunitem and the module are best for one-off changes to lists.

This occurs because LaTeX is trying to fill the page. What you can do is 
to either


- add a pagebreak some paragraphs below the equations

Pagella should be identic in the base characters but e.g. the small

UI - enumerate lists

by a space to get an inset. Anything you type in the inset is set in
mathcal. If you highlight content and type \mc space, the highlighted
content is converted.


That sounds easy too. This is for tomorrow since it is late in my time
zone now.


I tried - and it works smoothly.

For reasons of compatibility I am asking myself how such a solution 
translates to the corresponding tex file? If it is to sent to some 
journal, they do not like any macros - as I have experienced. So are 
there any routines which eliminate macros in a tex file?


I know this is another topic already.

Thanx for your replies.

Problems in 'fig2pdftex.py'

[Langer, Tino]

Hello Lyx-Users,

i have some problems using .fig-files in my lyx document. Whenever I try to
compily my file I get an error message  that the is an error in the
script-file  fig2pdftex.py. 

On the console i see the following message:
NameError: name `mkstemp` is not defined

On the dialog box in lyx I see:
"Bei der Ausführung von 
python -tt "_some_path_/bin/../Ressources/s
ist ein Fehler aufgetreten."

I added the fig2dev.exe file to path to get the script fig2pstex.py running.

It seems that there are parts of python missing. Is there somebody out there
who can give mit some hints to get ist working?

I use lyx 1.6.7 on windows. (no alt-installer)

Many thanks - Tino

I added a column for German menus since some of the short cuts differ

Re: UI - enumerate lists

Is there a way in the LyX user interface to label enumerate lists besides
the standard (arabic)? Using package and module enumitem I've written some
list formats I'm using very often but can't display in LyX their different
labels.

I've tried to define counters at paragraph style and text class level but
the LabelString parameter does not work for me. There is a cryptic footnote
in the manual saying "any numbertype other than those described below will
produce arabic numerals", but than the text goes on and describes all
relevant types like alph, roman etc.

I've seen that other people in their modules have used in similar situations
blue font to warn that there is no WYSIWYG. So what: Is this a bug or I'm
doing something wrong?

   
I'd have to see what you'd tried to do to know what was wrong. Possibly 
the issue is that enumerations can only use the predefined enumi, 
enumii, etc, counters.


I think enunitem and the module are best for one-off changes to lists. 
If you want regularly to use a list that is marked with roman numerals, 
then I'd write a new list type and a little module that contained it, 
such as the attached.



Ps.: I very appreciate the module "customizable list" by Guenter Milde.
Thanks! But IMHO it lacks appropriate documentation.

   

Feel free to write some!


Also the name for the
inset "Short Title" is misleading and should - as long as is not provided as
standard with LyX - go into the Custom insets menu.

   

This will be addressed in 2.0, where argument support is much more flexible.

That is \mathbb. Just use the shortcut Alt+z k and you can see in LyX's

If I use \sX as a short form of \mathcal{X}, then the .tex file will contain
\global\long\def\sX{\mathcal{X}} at the point where I define it (in the body,
although it could be moved manually to the preamble) and \sX in the formulas.

I have used macros for sets and matrices (set in boldface) in articles submitted
to journals (including INFORMS journals, and they're a bit picky) with no
problems.  I don't know of a way to globally search and replace them in LyX
(maybe a forthcoming feature in LyX 2.0?), but it certainly could be done by
running the .tex file through a text editor (or sed if you are a Linux fan).

Looks great.  Thank you.

One question: did you try Alt-z h and Alt-z i for mathcal?  According to the
German version of menus.bind, they both bind to the lfun font-emph, which is
what produces mathcal in my (US) version with the binding Alt-c e. If one of
those works, try Alt-z k for mathbb

I think this might be a good feature for LyX - especially if more 
complex maros are used which cannot be easily "decoded" by search & 
replace in some text editor.

Yes, that works as you say. When I tested I typed in small letters

This occurs because LaTeX is trying to fill the page. What you can do is 
to either


- add a pagebreak some paragraphs below the equations
- set the cursor behind the first equation in LyX and press DELETE. If 
this doesn't delete the second equation, there was a paragraph break 
between both equations. Without a paragraph break, LaTeX cannot stretch 
things.

PDF compile strange behavior

[bjleend]

I am using Lyx 1.6.5 in WinXp. I found a strange behavior when Lyx converts
documents into pdf files. I am using document style book (koma) with AMS
math package. I have compiled one with PDF hyperref support enabled using
Document->Settings->PDF Properties to produce document Example1.pdf (left
side), and uncheck the hyperref support to produce Example2.pdf (right
side). Every other setups are exactly the same. Strangely, Example1.pdf has
extra space between equations like (2.5)-(2.6), (2.7)-(2.8), etc. Can anyone
help me to understand here why this happens?

Viewing documents 'element DUMMY undefined

Hello people.

I edited a document in 'docbook' style, and get loads of error messages
like this one:

jade:/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ9507/lyx_tmpbuf0/mspgcc.sgml:440:41:E: element
"DUMMY" undefined

(the converter gives up after 200 of them).

The 'DUMMY' element occurs in  lines like:

15
14

These are entries in tables. I have assigned no special formatting to the
text in the table cells... Are tables not allowed in docbook (the
_do_ appear in the styles menu)? Or am I missing some file?

Thanks in advance...

This is strange and should not happen. Can you send a LyX file with the corresponding text part to 
be able to reproduce the problem? Perhaps you are suffering from a bug in hyperref.

help: elsevier article( bibliography problem)

[subir singh]

Hi,

I am writing  an article to be  submitted to an Elsevier  Journal.  I am
using article(elsevier).   I  require  citation  in  simple  number  style
"references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text.".  The
problem that  I am facing is  that my  old  references are  in  simple
number  style  (this is an article previously written for  different
journal  hence different style was used,  but  now I want it to be submitted
to a different  journal). Now  whatever  new citations  I add and refer to
them in my article  they  come in aurthor (number)  format.

what  is  puzzling me is  that  why two  different  type of citations  in
same article  when settings  are  the same. Any  help  to solve this
problem will be deeply  appreciated.
