LyX/LaTeX compiling error
Dear LyX Users,
My Mac hard drive recently crashed and my LyX files were on the drive. The
files were recovered from the drive, and placed on an external hard drive,
which I then transferred to a new Mac. However, when trying to compile the LyX
files into PDF format, I get the following error messages which I'm not sure
how to address:

I should also mention that when I cut and paste the LaTeX source int TeX shop
and click typeset, the compiling fails and reads out the same errors.
Thank you in advance for whatever help you can offer.

Re: Lyx numbering equations
This would be nice, and I think that I would use it, but I can think of many other improvements that might be easier to implement. For example: 1. LyX could remember the kind of reference associated with a label. So instead of typing Lemma 14, I would only need to type the reference to its label. LyX already knows this because its suggestions for labels look like lem: … . I often forget whether a reference is to a lemma or proposition, etc. 2. When I know the label for a reference it would be nice to be able to enter it directly from the keyboard (of course it would also be nice to be able to enter its current number). 3. When I highlight a reference in the pop-up window and then use the goto and return buttons, it would be nice to still have the reference highlighted. 4. The best thing, which is apparently very hard, would be to have tex2lyx work perfectly on tex files that were originally created by LyX, but have been modified by a coauthor without changing the front matter. But it is a great app; I only wish my coauthors and students would use it.

The requirement to have a label makes good sense: how do you propose to refer to an equation that does not have a label? Remember that its number will change as equations are added or removed, whereas the label will not change. It seems like you may wish to have a cross reference that says the following: "refer to the *current* equation (3), and update the number in the cross reference if the corresponding equation number changes." This might be implemented by having LyX create a unique but hidden label for every numbered equation, and providing some sort of user interface to refer to it. For good reasons or bad, this is not the way LyX and latex work. Note that numbered equations are no different in this respect than are numbered sections, etc. dave case

But I think numbering equations and referencing these equations to in the body text of the document are two entirely different things by comprehension. And if you could agree to this you might as well be prepared to agree that things are just fine as they are. Cheers and a big Bravo to LyX and its developers! Michael

You will probably need to select a comprehensive font that includes Hebrew characters. Jürgen

Dear Robert, If I understand correctly, you want to reference an equation without specifying a label. But how would LyX know which equation you want to reference? Best, Scott
