 A quick question. If I use the Noun character style in a Section title,

This depends on the font choice. Some font families are missing a bold
small caps variant. The LaTeX log will show you a font substition warning
in this case. I found this to be the case with e.g. Latin Modern.

 LyX's beamer support is kind of strange, in part because of LyX's

The beamer author invented this workaround several versions before the
--environment separator dummy style was added.

Another alternative is implementing the frame environment (and
similar) as custom insets. (Again, this is only possible in recent
versions, years after the original beamer layout was written.)
This alternative is chosen by my new version of seminar.layout

 Anyway, it does not surprise me that LyX has trouble importing beamer

Hi Günter,
I think that SW produces quite clean Latex files and the coding of the
sections uses quite standard commands. For example, one of the sections that
ended up in an ERB is:

\section{Une br\`{e}ve histoire de la croissance}


which is quite standard to my eyes.


What is not standard in SW is the use of comments for the Tex boxes and they
pollute a lot the final converted document in Lyx. This is why I do clean
them from the tex file before import (using regular expressions bases search
and replace).


But, it is strange that \begin{frame} is not recognized by Lyx and end up in
a ERB. I could maybe replace them by \lyxframebegin; but that would not be
simple since I must also handle, in this case, the \frametitle command's
argument (by transfering it of \lyxframebegin)... That could introduce more
mess in some cases if I am not careful :-(

Problem with nomentbl-package and LYX 2.0RC3 miktex2.9

2011-06-29 Thread Herre, Robert
Hi everyone,
 
I've installed LYX 2.0 RC3 and use it with miktex 2.9.  
I wrote my abbreviation list with the nomentbl-package. It worked very well with
Lyx 1.6 and Miktex 2.7.
When I compile it now, it doesn't write the list in my document, although I get
no error messages.
I used the following commands in the Tools/Output/Latex/nomenclaturecommands: -s
nomentbl.ist -o %tm.nls %tm.nlo
But when I export the File in a tex-File and compile it with the TexnicCenter,
it writes the List in the document! When I compile the Lyx file now, it shows me
the list.
Looks like Lyx only compile the File once and can't produce the Abbrev-List!
Has anyone the same mistake ever seen before?
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks a lot.
 
Sincerely...

Are there classes that you know you have installed in MiKTeX but do not

Yes.  You can run the uninstallers:  go to Control Panel, look for the 
category that says install/uninstall software, click uninstall to get a 
list of software for which Windows has identified an uninstaller, and 
use that to wipe both versions.  (As an aside, there's a very nice 
freeware program for Windows called CCleaner that, among other things, 
will do the same thing, but a bit faster.  It also has a registry 
cleaner, which is useful for zapping wayward registry entries that many 
uninstallers leave behind.)  After uninstalling, look for the LyX 
program directories (under C:\Program Files) and the user directories 
(which you've previously visited) and delete anything that may have been 
left behind.

Document classes frequently dictate the font for headings (overruling your
choice). The sectsty package allows you to set font styles for headings, but it
does not work with article(paper).  If you're willing to switch to a class
sectsty supports, that is one way to get what you want.  Another possibility is
to put this in your preamble:

That works better visually, but I crash too frequently after having
introduced this environment in the layout file. There must be something

Problem with nomentbl-package and LYX 2.0RC3 miktex2.9

2011-06-29 Thread Herre, Robert
Hi everyone,
 
I've installed LYX 2.0 RC3 and use it with miktex 2.9.  
I wrote my abbreviation list with the nomentbl-package. It worked very well with
Lyx 1.6 and Miktex 2.7.
When I compile it now, it doesn't write the list in my document, although I get
no error messages.
I used the following commands in the Tools/Output/Latex/nomenclaturecommands: -s
nomentbl.ist -o %tm.nls %tm.nlo
But when I export the File in a tex-File and compile it with the TexnicCenter,
it writes the List in the document! When I compile the Lyx file now, it shows me
the list.
Looks like Lyx only compile the File once and can't produce the Abbrev-List!
Has anyone the same mistake ever seen before?
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks a lot.
 
Sincerely...

Yes.  You can run the uninstallers:  go to Control Panel, look for the 
category that says install/uninstall software, click uninstall to get a 
list of software for which Windows has identified an uninstaller, and 
use that to wipe both versions.  (As an aside, there's a very nice 
freeware program for Windows called CCleaner that, among other things, 
will do the same thing, but a bit faster.  It also has a registry 
cleaner, which is useful for zapping wayward registry entries that many 
uninstallers leave behind.)  After uninstalling, look for the LyX 
program directories (under C:\Program Files) and the user directories 
(which you've previously visited) and delete anything that may have been 
left behind.

Document classes frequently dictate the font for headings (overruling your
choice). The sectsty package allows you to set font styles for headings, but it
does not work with article(paper).  If you're willing to switch to a class
sectsty supports, that is one way to get what you want.  Another possibility is
to put this in your preamble:

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat*{\section}{\bfseries\sc}

That will put section titles in small caps, but they will not be bold face.

This depends on the font choice. Some font families are missing a bold
small caps variant. The LaTeX log will show you a font substition warning
in this case. I found this to be the case with e.g. Latin Modern.

Would it solve this specific problem just to remove the ERT box with

The reason for the "strange" implementation is LyX's merging of
subsequent paragraphs of the same style into one LaTeX environment.

The beamer author invented this workaround several versions before the
"--environment separator" dummy style was added.

Another alternative is implementing the "frame" environment (and
similar) as custom insets. (Again, this is only possible in "recent"
versions, years after the original beamer layout was written.)
This alternative is chosen by my new version of seminar.layout
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7624

I propose an alternative beamer layout, either relying on nesting and
--environment separator-- or with custom insets.
With such a layout in the personal LyXdir, import of beamer sources
and co-operating with no-LyXers might become easier.

Indeed. However, conversion from "machine written" LaTeX (be it
OpenOffice, SW, a Word2TeX converter or some other front end) is
always even more complicated. Some of these tools do "fingerpainting"
instead of structring the document.

Hi Günter,
I think that SW produces quite clean Latex files and the coding of the
sections uses quite standard commands. For example, one of the sections that
ended up in an ERB is:

\section{Une br\`{e}ve histoire de la croissance}


which is quite standard to my eyes.


What is not standard in SW is the use of comments for the Tex boxes and they
pollute a lot the final converted document in Lyx. This is why I do clean
them from the tex file before import (using regular expressions bases search
and replace).


But, it is strange that \begin{frame} is not recognized by Lyx and end up in
a ERB. I could maybe replace them by \lyxframebegin; but that would not be
simple since I must also handle, in this case, the \frametitle command's
argument (by transfering it of \lyxframebegin)... That could introduce more
mess in some cases if I am not careful :-(

style that translates to \lyxframeend{}\lyxframe.

I propose an alternative beamer.layout file without all these
"lyxframe...". This is somewhere down on my TODO list (after getting
some more knowledge about beamer).

As a start, you could try to copy beamer.layout to your $LYXDIR/layout/
directory and add a Frame style (definition adapted from my
seminar.layout, not tested):

Style Frame
LatexType   Environment
LatexName   frame
NextNoIndent1
Margin  Static
LeftMargin  N
ParIndent   ""
TopSep  0.4
LabelType   Top_Environment
LabelString "Landscape Slide:"
End

Then, re-try the import. If this helps a bit, we can try to devise a
more standard beamer layout.

Richard, Paul, LyX Users,

It's been over a week since I've been able to convert to finished text 
in either LyX 1.6.7 or 2.0.0 (using DVI or View).  I've received many 
suggestions, for which I am grateful, but nothing has worked.  Is 
there a way to wipe both versions of LyX off my computer and start 
over from scratch?  My OS is Windows XP.


Yes.  You can run the uninstallers:  go to Control Panel, look for the 
category that says install/uninstall software, click uninstall to get a 
list of software for which Windows has identified an uninstaller, and 
use that to wipe both versions.  (As an aside, there's a very nice 
freeware program for Windows called CCleaner that, among other things, 
will do the same thing, but a bit faster.  It also has a registry 
cleaner, which is useful for zapping wayward registry entries that many 
uninstallers leave behind.)  After uninstalling, look for the LyX 
program directories (under C:\Program Files) and the user directories 
(which you've previously visited) and delete anything that may have been 
left behind.

Re: Noun (smallcaps) in Section title

Document classes frequently dictate the font for headings (overruling your
choice). The sectsty package allows you to set font styles for headings, but it
does not work with article(paper).  If you're willing to switch to a class
sectsty supports, that is one way to get what you want.  Another possibility is
to put this in your preamble:

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat*{\section}{\bfseries\sc}

That will put section titles in small caps, but they will not be bold face.
