Super cool cross-platform toolkit. Runs on several version of Unix, even in parallel, with multiple users logged in, on Fridays. Also available on Mac using darwin ports, and probably even on properly configured Windows machines (i.e. with X server running) Comes with a feature rich gui designer called 'fdesign' and incredible unicode support. Lightweight by design, robust, mature, and easily maintainable by core LyX contributors. Oh, and it uses git: git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/xforms.git Andre'

LyX 2.0beta4 windows installer (unofficial) is there!
> Pre-release of LyX version 2.0.0 (beta 4) > == In case anyone is interested, I've created windows 'alternate' installer of 2.0 beta4 (actually, it is slightly newer r37563, because of the grave regression fixed there). It can be installed simultaneously with previous betas, but some settings seem to be cleared while 'switching' between versions. Look there: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/unofficial/ WARNING: as I'm not a LyX developer, I'm not really sure about the quality of this installer. It worked for me, though, and finally the frequent crashes of beta3 are now gone. I've created it because the official maintainer (Uwe Stöhr) is currently offline, so there will be no official windows installers for the time being. I'm not subscribed there, so please cc me at ms (at) msys.info. Regards, Michał Skrzypek

SV: Including SAS output in latex
Hi >. If I use sas.sty generated by SAS, where do I put it so Lyx will recognize >it? I put in a folder and Refreshed FCNB on MikTex as per the help manual, but >Lyx still couldn't find it. This file needs to be recognised by LaTeX and should go somewhere MikTeX could find it. I guess this works? The next you have top tell lyx that it needs to use it. This is done in the LaTeX preamble in Document->settings. just add on these two lines:: \usepackage{sas} \usepackage{longtable} This will give you the sas specific commands that are used by sas.( And the longtableenvironment, may not be necessary if you import the file). >Even if Lyx did find it, I think there would still be some issues because of >the code in the latex file. > get a million compilation errors like misplaced "\noalign" with any of the > four latex files that can be >generated by SAS. I have attached tablesonly.tex >because I think this is the simplest file and also simple.tex. Most of the errors should go away if you add the \usepackage{longtable}. However the latex you send was also wrong. it should look something like this: \begin{longtable}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline & 1 & 1 &1 \\ \hline & 1 &1 &1 \\ \hline & 1& 1 &\\ \hline \end{longtable} You must move the \begin{longtable} to the start of the file. So I guess you have to make sas produce correct latex to make it work, or massage it in an editor. Then it should be easy to import it as a latex file in lyx. Or you could copy it into a ERT-box. I hope this helps. Ingar

Re: how to stop annoying screen jumps?
I have noticed a similar problem when editing tables, specially tables that contain formulas. Whenever I have a table with many rows and math formulas inside, and only part of the table is visible in the writing area, if the cursor is outside the table, and I click inside a math formula, the focus changes, and LyX rearranges the view so that the row where I clicked goes to (near) the top of the writing area (sometimes to the bottom). Actually this happens also when I click in some cell without a math formula, but not always for some reason. I find this extremely annoying, as I have to do this sort of editing very often so I get the text bouncing around. So my questions are: 1) is this a bug, or by design? 2) if by design, what is the reason for this behaviour? 3) Is there anyway to make LyX stop doing this? (I'm using lyx 1.6.7 on Ubuntu 10.10) Thanks.

how to stop annoying screen jumps?
Hello: I use Lyx 1.6.5 and Ubuntu 10.04. Lyx works fine, but if I am editing, then click the pdf icon to view the pdf output, then click back on the Lyx text to make a change, all too often the screen wildly jumps to some other part of the document. For example, I might be editing the end of the document, and after returning to Lyx and clicking on a sentence the screen will jump to the first page, or somewhere else. It seems to happen about 25% of the time. Its very annoying, as I have to scroll around to re-find the sentence I want to edit. Sometimes the screen even jumps again when I try to put the cursor on my desired sentence. I don't know if it is related to having floating picture frames on some of my pages. Maybe the problem would not occur if I had only plain text. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? My document is about 60 pages long. Thanks, John.

But I absolutely didn’t find it… You have to add that path to Tools->Preferences->Paths->PATH prefix, such that it appears before /usr/bin. Pay attention to use posix paths, i.e., use /cygdrive/c/whatever instead of C:/whatever, as the colon is the path separator in cygwin. -- Enrico

Change between latex distributions
Hallo, I installed the new lyx 1.6.9 and texlive 2010 in cygwin. However, lyx uses always the old tetex-distribution.contained in cygwin. Is there a possibility to change between distributions? AFAIK, there must be a setting "path to latex.exe" or similar... But I absolutely didn't find it. Regards
