tufte layout - does not work in lyx anymore using DVI

2013-09-12 Thread seacyd 
When I try to use the tufte book layout I get the following error
message:

! Argument of \MakeTextUppercase has an extra }.

Detailed error message:
http://pastebin.com/kWbDSnJV

In order to see, if you get the same error message, please open the file 
http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Layouts/tufte-book/layoutProposal/tufte-book.lyx 
of the wiki page http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-book#toc1 and then
view it as DVI. 

If I create a new file manually, change the document class to tufte and
create a title for a book, the same error message gets shown.

I have arch/manjaro installed und use LyX 2.0.6 with texlive 2013.30815-2. 

Is there anything I can do to make tufte layout work again, as it did at
earlier times?

P.S.: If I view it with pdflatex it works.

Page numbers use fonts of surrounding environments

2013-09-12 Thread Itai Shaked 
Hello,
I'm having a problem, which I'm not sure is due to LyX, but I would
appreciate it if any one here could help me.

When writing a document in LyX and using XeTeX and polyglossia I have
noticed some of the page numbers were in different font than others. Upon
further investigation I have found out that whenever an environment (e.g.
Theorem, Lemma, etc.) spans a page break, the page number within would use
the font used in that environment (so - the specific number would be
italic, like a text of a Theorem environment).

This only happens when using non-English language.

Would this be a bug in LyX or polyglossia?
How would you go further investigating or repairing it?

Thanks,
Itai.

I don't have the prerequisites installed to use this class, so can't be 
much help. But I think the problem has to be in your TeX installation. I 
don't myself see anything in the generated LaTeX that could be causing 
the problem, and the fact that it works with pdflatex is pretty suspicious.

That is very strange. It is definitely not a LyX bug.

I guess the thing to do is to redefine how the page number is being

fancy headers business?

Re: Page numbers use fonts of surrounding environments

I haven't changed anything in fancy headers.

It happens with plain, fancy and headings page styles (though with
headings it is the page number on the top of the page that is changed,
i.e. - not within the environment itself).

How do I redefine the way page numbers are printed?

Use the fancy header package. There's info about how to do it in the LyX 
docs, or you can find the fancy header manual online. Something like:

\fancyfoot[C]{\normalfont{\thepage}}
should come close to what you want.

If you didn't want to use that, in principle, you could redefine the 
page style, or define your own page style. Which document class?

It happens in book and article document classes.

I've tried \normalfont, but it stayed the same. What did help was 
 \fancyfoot[C]{\textup{\thepage}}.
I guess polyglossia somehow disables some of the text style commands, or

A hack is to insert it at a place where it is allowed (like title) and then 
move it to where you want it. Not optimal, and IIRC it is improved/fixed at

If I were having this problem, my first step would be to back up the
LyX file for safe keeping, and troubleshoot on copies. My second step
would be to remove all but the first five pages, and see if the problem
persists.

Then I'd remove polyglossia and see if the problem persists. If not,
report it to Polyglossia at
http://github.com/reutenauer/polyglossia/issues

Just keep experimenting til you find the root cause, and then use
search engines to see if others have solved that problem. But right now
you don't know if the problem is in LyX, Polyglossia, your TeX/LaTeX
setup, your LyX to PDF conversion, or even your PDF reader. You can
quickly narrow it down.

And remember, when dealing with LyX, never underestimate the power of
the Minimal Example That Reproduces The Problem.

tufte layout - does not work in lyx anymore using DVI

2013-09-12 Thread seacyd 
When I try to use the tufte book layout I get the following error
message:

! Argument of \MakeTextUppercase has an extra }.

Detailed error message:
http://pastebin.com/kWbDSnJV

In order to see, if you get the same error message, please open the file 
http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Layouts/tufte-book/layoutProposal/tufte-book.lyx 
of the wiki page http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-book#toc1 and then
view it as DVI. 

If I create a new file manually, change the document class to tufte and
create a title for a book, the same error message gets shown.

I have arch/manjaro installed und use LyX 2.0.6 with texlive 2013.30815-2. 

Is there anything I can do to make tufte layout work again, as it did at
earlier times?

seacyd 

P.S.: If I view it with pdflatex it works.

Page numbers use fonts of surrounding environments

2013-09-12 Thread Itai Shaked 
Hello,
I'm having a problem, which I'm not sure is due to LyX, but I would
appreciate it if any one here could help me.

When writing a document in LyX and using XeTeX and polyglossia I have
noticed some of the page numbers were in different font than others. Upon
further investigation I have found out that whenever an environment (e.g.
Theorem, Lemma, etc.) spans a page break, the page number within would use
the font used in that environment (so - the specific number would be
italic, like a text of a Theorem environment).

This only happens when using non-English language.

Would this be a bug in LyX or polyglossia?
How would you go further investigating or repairing it?

Thanks,
Itai.

I don't have the prerequisites installed to use this class, so can't be 
much help. But I think the problem has to be in your TeX installation. I 
don't myself see anything in the generated LaTeX that could be causing 
the problem, and the fact that it works with pdflatex is pretty suspicious.

That is very strange. It is definitely not a LyX bug.

I guess the thing to do is to redefine how the page number is being 
printed. What page style are you using? Did you do anything with the 
fancy headers business?

Re: Page numbers use fonts of surrounding environments

I haven't changed anything in fancy headers.

It happens with "plain", "fancy" and "headings" page styles (though with
"headings" it is the page number on the top of the page that is changed,
i.e. - not within the environment itself).

How do I redefine the way page numbers are printed?

Use the fancy header package. There's info about how to do it in the LyX 
docs, or you can find the fancy header manual online. Something like:

\fancyfoot[C]{\normalfont{\thepage}}
should come close to what you want.

If you didn't want to use that, in principle, you could redefine the 
page style, or define your own page style. Which document class?

It happens in book and article document classes.

I've tried \normalfont, but it stayed the same. What did help was "
 \fancyfoot[C]{\textup{\thepage}}".
I guess polyglossia somehow disables some of the text style commands, or
replaces them with others?

Does adding the class option 'nols' get rid of the errors?  Note that
this also removes letterspacing, an important part of the Tufte
design.

I think the problem was that in the cut and paste, the images got changed to
*subparagraph level, and that hosed everything.

Nope. :-)

At least not directly. And all the other options imply to loose the semantic

A hack is to insert it at a place where it is allowed (like title) and then 
move it to where you want it. Not optimal, and IIRC it is improved/fixed at 
lyx-2.1 but it works. :-)

If I were having this problem, my first step would be to back up the
LyX file for safe keeping, and troubleshoot on copies. My second step
would be to remove all but the first five pages, and see if the problem
persists.

Then I'd remove polyglossia and see if the problem persists. If not,
report it to Polyglossia at
http://github.com/reutenauer/polyglossia/issues

Just keep experimenting til you find the root cause, and then use
search engines to see if others have solved that problem. But right now
you don't know if the problem is in LyX, Polyglossia, your TeX/LaTeX
setup, your LyX to PDF conversion, or even your PDF reader. You can
quickly narrow it down.

And remember, when dealing with LyX, never underestimate the power of
the "Minimal Example That Reproduces The Problem".
