svmult.cls layout problem?
Has anyone used the layout for the svmult.cls class recently? (It is the Springer class for edited volume) The layout seems to have 2 problems (the class works fine in pure latex): It does not recognize the \abstract* environment and it inserts the \maketitle command too early (before \author) Before I clumsily try to fix the problem, is is this a known problem and/or is there anything I should know about it?

Re: Compile error: "The directory path to the document cannot contain spaces"
It would be too much of a hassle to change that because it's my default document directory, and there are some dependency problems as well which I don't think it's a good idea to alter it. When I installed MikTeX 2.9 I didn't remove MikTeX 2.8. The compiler works fine if I re-configure LyX to use the MikTeX 2.8 installation. Compiling speed was very slow though (this happened after I installed some packages for 2.8 which seemed to be causing such slowness although I couldn't figure out why - this is the reason why I installed MikTeX 2.9). Another point is that my office computer also uses LyX on a MikTeX 2.9 installation (also runs on Windows XP). The directory also contains spaces, but I can compile normally on that machine. Now I don't know which part is actually the culprit, because it seems that the compiler is designed to deal with spaces but somehow that does not work on my computer. --- 2011年12月5日 星期一，Richard Heck 寫道﹕ 寄件人: Richard Heck 主題: Re: Compile error: "The directory path to the document cannot contain spaces" 收件人: "David" 副本(CC): lyx-users@lists.lyx.org 日期: 2011年12月5日,星期一,上午1:53 On 12/04/2011 07:55 AM, David wrote: Dear all, I have been using MikTeX 2.8 and has recently upgraded to MikTeX 2.9.

However, when I use it to compile my document (Ctrl+R) a message box appears immediately saying that "The directory path to the document cannot contain spaces", an error that I have never encountered before. Yes I know my directory contains spaces but it worked fine before I did all these changes. Moving my file somewhere else works, but certainly it will be too troublesome to do that every time. Furthermore my directory is something like "D:\My Documents\blahblahblah" and I clearly cannot change "My Documents" to something else. Actually, you can change it. I don't have Windows machines in my house any more, but I used to do it routinely on my wife's machine. Is there an alternative method that can bypass this problem? It would seem that the configuration script has for some reason decided MikTeX won't allow spaces. You might try reconfiguring, but then again, if the configure script failed this test, then there may be an issue. Windows people may be able to give more advice. Richard
Re: Locale configuration when launching R from lyx
The correct fix, I believe, is to set the language of your interface (not document) to Default in preferences. This will at least enable R to read the Rnw document correctly. Then everything becomes a LaTeX problem (you can use other special packages, or xelatex).

Locale configuration when launching R from lyx
Hi, this is a follow up of ticket 7741[1]. As I understand it, it is possible to fix the locale problem by setting the encoding to ASCII [2] when setting language to something else than English, or leaving the language to default. However, when the accents are in a sweave chunk, e.g. for commenting, this is not fixed by the encoding. Are there any detailed procedure to fix this issue ? Or any thoughts on what I could try ? I've tried using xelatex, but it didn't work. Is it possible to make succeed loading all the LC_X... ? 1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C" 2: Setting LC_COLLATE failed, using "C" 3: Setting LC_TIME failed, using "C" 4: Setting LC_MESSAGES failed, using "C" 5: Setting LC_PAPER failed, using "C" 6: Setting LC_PAPER failed, using "C" Thanks, Etienne [1] http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7741 [2] http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/70185
Re: 2.0.2 and sweave
That is good to know. Thanks a lot for the experiment! I need to add this approach to the manual; it is much easier (and safer) than messing with the PATH variable directly. I often feel extremely frustrated with instructing Windows users on how to modify PATH.

Even better, it interpolates environment variables: Set R_HOME globally, e.g., to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.14.0 Then in LyX, under Tools-->Preferences-->Paths-->PATH prefix, append ;$R_HOME\bin and "reconfigure" LyX.

Putting tables and figures at the end?
Hi all, I am putting together my first article using Lyx, and I can't figure something out: How do I get all my tables and figures to be placed at the end, one per page, preferably in a section called "figures and tables"? I will put the text "figure XX about here" where they should go in the body, as per academic tradition. And are there more general guidelines to doing this sort of thing in Lyx in general? Thx for the excellent software!

Re: 2.0.2 and sweave
We mentioned this once before (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/72719), but did not get anybody work on it. So let's call for python hackers again: it will be fantastic if LyX is able to find Rscript automatically under Windows (from environmental variables RHOME, R_HOME or from the Windows Registry Hive). Before that, users still have to modify the PATH by themselves. Or maybe it is easier to modify the preferences? Tools-->Preferences-->Paths-->PATH prefix. I have never tried it.

Looks like a very smooth integration. A couple of questions: Is it possible to set the path to Rscript directly within LyX, without changing the global system PATH? Does LyX check either RHOME or R_HOME? Is it preferable to use the 32-bit or 64-bit Rscript?

I'd like to get started with LyX and Sweave. There are a bunch of tutorials out there, some linked from the LyX wiki, some not. But I can't tell which are current and which aren't. I'm on LyX 2.0.2, R 2.14, Miktex 2.9, Windows 7 x64; could someone suggest the right tutorial or just post the steps here? Thanks in advance.
