RE: Header line

[Louise Wilkinson]

Hi Richard,



Thanks for your help, but I'm still not sure how to control the position of the 
line. I can make it appear below the heading but not in the right place. I also 
don't know how to make the line appear below the heading when the title is on 
more than one line. I'm using AMS article class.



Thanks



Louise

Hii,



Yes, that is what I want, a horizontal line underneath the chapter title.



Then the solution depends a bit upon which document class you are using. The 
generic solution would be to use the titlesec package, which allows you to 
redefine how the chapter, etc, headings appear. There are all kinds of examples 
in the documentation's
http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/titlesec/titlesec.pdf
Appendix from which you can choose.

If you're using memoir or one of the koma-script classes, they have their own 
ways to modify the appearance of such things. But the examples in the titlesec 
documentation will still be useful.

word2lyx Fixes: Python Import Error

[Rob Oakes]

Dear Users,

If you were trying to test word2lyx and got an import error, I've fixed the 
underlying issue (I hope). You can download the updated sources from 
http://oak-tree.us/stuff/LyX/word2lyx-01.zip. 

I've also posted all of the source code and revision history to: 
https://code.launchpad.net/~lyx-outline-devel/lyx-outline/lyx-word

If there is anyone who might be interested in helping work on the code, please 
let me know and I'll give you access to the repository. merge requests are very 
welcome.

Cheers,

Rob

It certainly does not do that for me.  Send or post a small example 
file.  This is somehow language-dependent, I guess. You can force it to 
work by going to math-mode and selecting the vertical line from the 
menu.  This should of course avoid language issues, but there should be

I'm sympathetic to this point. I understand that having a way to go from one to 
the other is important. I've deliberately avoided creating an export to Word 
option, though, because it would essentially require that I recode large 
portions of LyX in Python. I'm resistant to doing that because it's a a lot of 
extra code to maintain. There are already two implementations of LyX document 
parsing libraries: eLyXer and that found in LyX itself. Adding a third and 
trying to keep it in some sort of synchronization would be a huge pain. I'm 
looking into using eLyXer for Word conversion from LyX, but that is lesser 
priority than making Word import work correctly. (At least at the moment.) If 
there is someone (maybe Alex or another eLyXer dev) who would be interest in 
collaborating and handling the export part, I'd be happy to coordinate with 
them so that we're able to round-trip.

I've already taken that position. I'm willing to work with Word versions 2007 
and 2010, and only files saved in docx. I'm not going to even try and parse doc 
binary files. word2lyx is about a 1000 lines of code. The doc parsing libraries 
I've looked at are easily 10 times that long. Python has excellent libraries 
for parsing XML that do nearly all the heavy lifting. I would have to write my 
own parsing library for doc.

I agree that it is possible, but there's a lot of code needed to make it work 
correctly. It's also a larger problem set that I want to right now. Once I've 
got the Word import working, including track changes and notes (and probably 
maths, too), I'll be more willing to come back and take a look at it.

But as I said earlier, if there's someone who would like to jump on board and 
work with Word export (lyx2word), I'll be happy to coordinate and work with 
them, too.

Cheers,

Rob

No, I think that the problem may be due to the version that you are using. Snow 
Leopard uses Python 2.6, whereas I tested it against Python 2.7 (which can be 
found in Lion and in most Linux distributions). The problem is how I'm 
importing the XML module and needs to be reworked.

I'll get to this a little bit later today and post a fix as soon as I can.

Rob

I rather assume the documentation should make more clear that these are
completely different things. The "algorithm" is intended for mathematical
algorigthms, not code.

You might try to change one instance in LyX and then (looking at the
differences) the others in the *.lyx file with a text editor.

I would love to agree, but round-trip is what is needed most of the
time. An import word2lyx is perfect, but in most cases only half the
story. I would use it extensively if the round trip is possible.
Obviously, we can not deal with the word-editing side (whatever
program is used for that).

Well -  one could state that the round-trip works for MS word version
abcd, and other versions can / will / might cause problems which are
not in our hands.

There are obviously basic difference in how LyX and word are viewing
documents, and these lead to principal differences how the files are
saved.

But I am thinking that if one can import a docx file into LyX, one
should be able to do the reverse. And one should be able to define a
robust subset of features which are maintained when doing a round-trip.
In the same way that certain features are not converted in word2lyx,
lyx2word would also only support a subset of features which are
exported. But if these subsets include the most important features
used in the editing process on both sides, a round trip should be
possible.

Re: word2lyx (Word to LyX Translator): Status Update

Seeing what can happen when editing documents with different versions of 
word (or word vs openoffice), I think that trying to get good round-trip 
support is a loss of time. People will take this as a promise and 
complain that it does not work well enough.


The difference of structure between word and lyx are too important to be 
able to work in a word<->LyX collaboration IMO.

That sounds great - a first step in the right direction.

I hope that you or somebody else will find time to look into this - my
co-workers want to have all comments and track changes in the document

Might be a project for the google summer code? To late for this year,
but possibly next one.

Cheers,

Rainer

Hi Again,

I totally agreed aspell is better than hunspell. Especially if you working with 
some small language.


Why is aspell better than hunspell?


At least I can answer from my point of view. It just boils down to 1 
difference: aspell had no issue for me. hunspell does not allow me to 
use English and allow coumpound words as aspell did(*). When I opened my 
documents, I had to either add plenty of words to the dictionary or 
change them to 2 words. That was a lot of work.


But I can understand that some people have seen improvements with 
hunspell versus aspell.


Best regards,

Olivier
