Re: Markdown to Lyx

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hello,

I have now created the WiKi page: https://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/ConvertMarkdown 


Strangely, the links to Pandoc that I have put in the top part wait for 
approval, while other links I have put on the. Bottom of the page have been 
activated immediately. 

Could someone with admin privileges could activate these links?

Very cordially,

Murat

Re: Markdown to Lyx

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi José,
I have tried to do it, but, if I understand correctly how this works, I need to 
add a new page under Tips. Unfortunately the suggested password LyX does not 
seem to be enough for editing the page list. Probably, I am doing something 
stupid. I have not used a wiki for many years, and lost the logic of the system.

Hi Eberhard and Murat,
  I always find these threads very enlightening. :-)

If you find the time and motivation it would be nice to add these nice

Sorry for bringing this so late.

What I meant are "keyboard input methods", they are used for languages like 
Chinese or Japanese where the keyboard does not hold all the characters.

I am asking if it is a question of configuration.
In my case I use kde, calling System Settings->Hardware->Input devices-
>Keyboard.

There I can choose several items, like the keyboard type, variant (with and 
without dead keys) and other more advance options.

As I have told I remember to had problems like that but it was a long time 
ago.

Re: How to make an A4 presentation with Beamer?

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

Steve,

you don't need to do anything, because beamer does not produce paper. I
collaborate a lot with a colleague in the US and do need to do anything
for the presentations. For the papers he changes the LyX to Letter if he
wants to print and I to A4 if I want to print.


If you like, you can experiment with stuff like

aspectratio=1610

in the

Documents -> Settings... -> Document Class -> Custom

which you need to read up on (aspect ration) in the (LaTeX)
Beamer Manual.

For your particular issue I would also search for "handout"
in the (LaTeX) Beamer Manual.


The MWE is a TeX document, by the way, not a LyX document.

greetings, el

I've tried various combinations and variants of the following :

\hsize 29.7cm
\vsize 21.0cm
\usepackage[a4paper, total={29.5cm, 20.8cm}]{geometry}
\geometry{letterpaper, landscape, total={11.5in, 8in}}

Some forced the latex program to abort with error, some caused only
a tiny rendering of the slide on a big A4 paper, some caused the
printing to be portrait, when I could print landscape it printed
upside down, what a mess.

Does anyone have a way to use Beamer (not LyX/Beamer) to create a
PDF that can print correctly on a European printer?

That's a good idea, Baris, and I already sent the MWE files to you. In
case anyone else wants to take a crack at it, I'm attaching four MWE
files:

mwe.beamer is the MWE source

mwe.pdf is my attempt at A4. It's upside down, and the print is way
smaller than it's supposed to be.

kk is the shellscript that compiles mwe.beamer into mwe.pdf.

All 3 files go in a single directory, and assuming you have the same
texlive packages I have, it should compile to the same result mine did.

What I want is a PDF, printable on A4, that has the right sized print
and is right side up instead of upside down.

Thanks,

AFAIK, Beamer class does not provide slides with A4 or Letter 
dimensions. The default size of slides are smaller than Letter sized 
papers, but when you open them for presentation using a PDF viewer, the 
PDF viewer shows the slides using the whole screen/projector area so you 
do not see any issue with the size. When you print them, the printer 
enlarges it to fit to the page margin, so probably you will not have an 
issue with that either. So the problem is not whether you use 
Letter-sized or A4-sized paper. It is simply Beamer does not provide 
slides with those dimensions. This is what I know, but forums such as 
Stack Exchange will have more correct information on this.


What I do generally is I leave the PDF file as it is, and it is 
generally good enough to see on the screen as PDF viewers will enlarge 
it as necessary. When printing, you can tell the PDF viewer to fit to 
the margins of an A4 or A3 or Letter size paper.


Alternatively, you can print the slides to A4 size with a PDF tool such 
as PDF X-change.


This is not a LyX- problem so, I am not sure if the audience of this 
list has expertise on this matter.

That's a good idea, Baris, and I already sent the MWE files to you. In
case anyone else wants to take a crack at it, I'm attaching four MWE
files:

mwe.beamer is the MWE source

mwe.pdf is my attempt at A4. It's upside down, and the print is way
smaller than it's supposed to be.

kk is the shellscript that compiles mwe.beamer into mwe.pdf.

All 3 files go in a single directory, and assuming you have the same
texlive packages I have, it should compile to the same result mine did.

What I want is a PDF, printable on A4, that has the right sized print
and is right side up instead of upside down.

Thanks,

SteveT

Hi all,

I live in the US, so all my computer's defaults are set to the US,
including paper size. I have a customer in Europe for whom I need to
make a presentation, using Beamer (alone, not with LyX), printable on A4
paper.

I've tried various combinations and variants of the following :

\usepackage{geometry}
\special{papersize 29.7cm, 21cm}
\hsize 29.7cm
\vsize 21.0cm
\usepackage[a4paper, total={29.5cm, 20.8cm}]{geometry}
\geometry{letterpaper, landscape, total={11.5in, 8in}}

Some forced the latex program to abort with error, some caused only a
tiny rendering of the slide on a big A4 paper, some caused the printing
to be portrait, when I could print landscape it printed upside down,
what a mess.

Does anyone have a way to use Beamer (not LyX/Beamer) to create a PDF
that can print correctly on a European printer?

Thanks,

SteveT

How to make an A4 presentation with Beamer?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I live in the US, so all my computer's defaults are set to the US,
including paper size. I have a customer in Europe for whom I need to
make a presentation, using Beamer (alone, not with LyX), printable on A4
paper.

\usepackage{geometry}
\special{papersize 29.7cm, 21cm}

Some forced the latex program to abort with error, some caused only a
tiny rendering of the slide on a big A4 paper, some caused the printing
to be portrait, when I could print landscape it printed upside down,
what a mess.

Does anyone have a way to use Beamer (not LyX/Beamer) to create a PDF
that can print correctly on a European printer?

Hib Kornel,
and I never had problems to compile LyX under Xubuntu 18.04 and earler
versions.

Re: Xubuntu 20.04: Qt Library

[Hartmut Haase]

Hi Kornel,

You may miss the qt-devel packages.
Here, the following packs are installed:
libqt5opengl5-dev:amd64
libqt5svg5-dev:amd64
libqt5webchannel5-dev:amd64
libqt5webkit5-dev:amd64
libqt5webview5-dev:amd64
libqt5x11extras5-dev:amd64
libqt5xmlpatterns5-dev:amd64


I installed them but configure stiil ends with
configure: error: cannot compile a simple Qt executable. Check you have
the right $QTDIR.
and
echo $QTDI
shows nothing
