URGENT:Prezentation with Prosper
Dear List,
I have installed prosper and I cannot compile the example files on the
wiki (http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Prosper)!
When I open "layout_Dekel-sample.lyx" on console window I can see a
message:
-
step: Counter does not exist: lyxnewslide
step: Counter does not exist: lyxnewslide
step: Counter does not exist: lyxnewslide
-
I try to view it with 'View -> DVI', but as it is written doesn't show anyithing
(ops it shows something on the far right, if I zoom it out, I could see
something...).
When I try to "View -> PDF(pdflatex)", I does show me that there are 20
errors during running latex.
The first 5 complain about "Undefined control sequence" for "\maketitle".
At each caption there are other 5 like "Undefined control sequence" for
"\lyxnewslide{Caption n:o 2}".
Finally, at the end the same for "\end{document}".
I use lyx 1.3.3 (I tryed it with 1.3.5, it was the same) on Win98se.
I have MikTeX 2.4.1398 installed.
What is goes wrong? How to solve it?

Re[2]: URGENT:Prezentation with Prosper [Win98]
Hello Robert,
RO> If I may make a suggestion here.
Yes, of course.
RO> Try powerdot rather than prosper. I think you will
RO> find it an improvement and may not have as many
RO> problems.
I faced to the same problem trying powerdot. :(
I installed everything (LyX 1.3.6) on an XP machine and I played a little
bit. I found that the View -> PDF does not work! It produces the errors as
described below. In the other hand, if I export it to PDF, it works!
Wow! What is the problem? Somebody shall check it, sometime...
It is same for prosper and powerdot.
So, I returned back to my 1.3.3 (at home) and I tryed to export as PDF.
Unfortunately, I have Win98 and I was out of environment space during
running ps2pdf! It was hard to figured it out. So, I have to export it
to PS first, then copy to "C:\lyx\gs\gs8.51\lib\" and then do
"command /e:1024" to increse enviroment space afterward comes the ps2pdf in
that shell. Thus, I have the presentation in pdf.
I tryed to increase environment space at boot, without any success! :(
>> step: Counter does not exist: lyxnewslide
>> step: Counter does not exist: lyxnewslide
>> step: Counter does not exist: lyxnewslide
I don't know why this appears, but it does not bother me anymore.
View -> PDF will not work for some reason, maybe somebody got it working?

Ok. It is works, with its fuss (win98...).
But, I cannot set the default language to "Magyar", when I do it, it complains

Bug: Language change in 1.4.1
Dear All, I have found something what makes my life hard. I got powerdot into working state, but it is little bit buggy, because I can compile the presentation only with the language set to english. I would need magyar (hungarian) but this an another story My problem: - I make a section heading - I insert short title - I change the language of both, by selecting it. Unfortunately, the text in the short tag, still keeps its language. So, I have to change it to english all the time. I don't have this with the footnote, for example. Alex
Minimum HW requirement
Dear all, One student who makes her diplom about "Comparing LyX to another Word processors", asked me about the minimum HW required fo LyX. I run (I tried it on [EMAIL PROTECTED] without success) LyX on slow computer, but it was hard to get use it (1.3.3 with linux). As far, I can remember LyX can run where an X server and KDE can run. Is the Ok? Is that means that a 200-300MHz P1 or P2 with 16-32MB ram will be enough to run LyX? On this machine the LaTeX will also run I am sure. Can some of them confirm it? Thanks.

Dear all, Thank you for the answers to everybody. I don't want to start an avalanche. :) Thanks for the HW examples, and also for the suggestions.

Footnote to normal text
Hi!

Footnotes in tables
Dear all,
I found a reasonable easy way to insert footnotes into tables, they will
appear normally at the bottom of the page with the other footnotes.
I attached an example file for those who would like to copy & paste.
I have added this tip to the wiki at (it is the second method):
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Tables#footintab
Maybe this example file would be included into the distribution?

Re: Footnotes in tables
Dear Georg, >> Maybe this example file would be included into the distribution? > > It would be better IMHO to fix this bug: > http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=808 Maybe it would, but as far I see this is not a LyX bug, but instead a LaTeX one. This can be a workaround useable behind the user interface. When a user makes a footnote in a table lyx, uses this behavidour behind the scenes. Alex
Re: 1.4.3 windows binaries don't work?
Dear all, I had similar problem, when I compiled it from source (linux, SuSe x64 10.0, GCC 4.0.2 20050901). I had to rename the configuration directory for successful lyx start.

Comparing .lyx files to see updates + feature request
Dear All, I would like to ask you about document comparison. How can I compare two .lyx document to see the changes between them? It would be quite nice for updating translations.(since thange tracking is disabled for this.) A few month ago I've set-up a local svn on my linux box to store both the english version and the localised version of the lyx docs. Thus, I can translate only one file free from any changes. When I finish, I can compare my old english file to the actual one to see what was changed and correct it in the localised one. I do it in the following way: 1. export both "english".lyx file to txt by ps2txt (since it almost handles one line per paragraph) 2. compare them with krusaider's diff command (File->compare by content) 3. modification of "hungarian".lyx Earlier, I compared the files without converting to txt, so I had to fight with the .lyx file format. Drawbacks: - The diff will see much more changes than there are. Other diffs are similar. - Unfortunately, the one line per pharagraph is not always the case, so some tweaks would be nice One new feature, that I think would be nice: - compare two lyx file and show one with all the changes and let the user to choose what to keep. (Like: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1897) Can you offer an other or better solution? Alex

Opening LyX files under Windows
Is there a way to make LyX not open a whole new copy of itself whenever I double-click on a .lyx file in Windows explorer? (I use XP and LyX 1.5.6 or 1.6.0) I believe that if Lyx is already open on the computer, a new file should open a new document tab, but not yet another instance of LyX. This can be an incredible waste of resources on my computer, especially when LyX is already very slow! (though I have a dual-core Intel processor at 3.2 GHz with 3.2 Gb or RAM). Alex
Lyx is slow while typing documents (Windows)
<2nd attempt at posting this ...> Hey, I have installed Lyx maybe 3-4 months ago, but I have been really using it seriously in the past month. I am trying to write my thesis. The problem is that the program becomes really, really sllooowww after a while. What I mean is that it gets to the point where, while typing, it takes 2-3 seconds for *each* character/letter to appear on the screen. I can type a whole sentence and then wait 2-3 minutes, but the moment I switch to a different Window, LyX stops recording what I had just typed, so I have to do it again. As you can imagine, it's hard to be writing a longer document in this style. I've seen some earlier emails on this forum with similar problems (e.g. 2 years ago there was a problem on Macs), but no real fixes. A little bit about my setup: I am using Windows XP, and I tried LyX versions 1.5.6 and 1.6.0 up to RC3 as they came out. Whenever I installed a new version, things were fine for a few days, but in at most a week I'm back not able to really use Lyx for writing. I even tried switching to a new computer, I tried not leaving LyX open for days with the documents I'm editing, I tried rebooting and reopening my documents, reinstalling LyX - eventually everything fails, and it stays slow even when I had just opened the document. I can send you the file I'm currently working on, if anyone wants to reproduce the problem. I was smart enough to split my thesis into chapters in separate files, so right now I have something like 10 pages of text and about 10 figures (imported from .eps files). The typing speed was ok at the beginning but eventually I had to type my stuff in MS Word and then copy into LyX. Now I'm just trying to edit a few minor details in LyX and it's being impossible... I admit, I have had many programs open at the same time (like MS Office, Matlab, Remote Desktop, Acrobat) when I first noticed the slowness, but now even after a fresh restart, LyX is too slow for me to type anything... I noticed that if I start a new LyX document, I can type again fast for the first few lines of text, but what's the maximum size document that LyX can handle without getting bogged down? (My file is currently only about 50 kB, and included images as little as 100 kB when things got really slow. I eventually have added more figures, a couple of which are > than 1Mb, but these are kept in separate files after all. Even documents that come with Lyx, like the User's Guide, are extremely slow to open and/or edit in all versions of LyX 1.5.6 and above. I can live with smaller bugs in LyX, but this one above is currently preventing me from using all the other capabilities of this program. Alex
Re: Lyx is slow while typing documents (Windows)
Uwe Stöhr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > The only explanation I have is that you have the View Source window open while typing, if so, this > is bug http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5347 Thank you all for the quick and helpful replies. I was not using LyX over remote desktop, except to test whether I experience the slowness on other closeby computers as well (all other programs run normally in the remote session). Many thanks to Uwe, however for pointing out the recent bug report: it turns out my problem was very much related. I did not report this as a bug, as I was trying to understand whether my computer configuration is causing the problems, or if the way LyX documents get refreshed and interact with each other slows down things (and this is remembered next time I open LyX)... LyX, however didn't take more than 15-50,000K of memory. It proves Uwe had a good intuition - I was having "View Source" open, as well as both boxes checked (entire source file and automatic refresh). It is sufficient to uncheck auto-refresh to get rid of the slowness. Thank you - I lost quite a few days trying to deal with the slow program! > When you write sensible documents like a Ph.D. thesis, it is strongly recommend not to use test > releases like LyX 1.6.0xxx. I will also look into using 1.5.6 to complete my work (now that will also be fast if I uncheck the same box). I assume that in order to convert any 1.6.0 .lyx files to make them readable by 1.5.6, I have to export them as plain Latex and then import them again in the older version. Have a great week! Alex

Windows XP doesn't shut down with LyX open
Anyone else experienced this? If I have either LyX 1.5.6 or 1.6.0 and I give Windows the command to shut down the computer (i.e. from the Task manager), windows will close maybe a program or two but then abort the shutdown sequence and remain running. If, however, I first close LyX manually, then my computers will actually turn off normally. Alex
Change names of TOC? Bibliography?
Does anyone know how to change the name of this section? In Lyx
report(koma-script) it prints out by default as "Contents". Can I make it
read "Table of Contents" ?
Also, can I change the default name of the Bibliography as well?
I tried adding the following to the preamble, but it doesn't seem to have
an effect:
\renewcommand{\bibname}{List of References}
I am using the 'bibtotoc' option in the arguments to the document class.
What's the difference between this and using the following ERT TEX code?
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bibname}
With the hyperref package, the bibliography is hyperlinked to the TOC entry,
but if I use the "bookmarks" menu on the left in Acrobat, clicking on
"Bibliography" takes me to the title page of my document instead!

If I add this as ERT code right before the Bibliography in my LyX document,
the name is now changed in the PDF output. How come?
Also, I noticed how when compiling my LyX document oftentimes only one Latex
run is completed instead of two! In these cases, although I have the 'intoc'
option for my document, the Nomenclature does not appear in the TOC, although
I can see the entry when opening the .toc file manually.
Another funny thing, the same times when the Nomenclature doesn't appear in
the contents, the compiled PDF file also doesn't open automatically as it
should after being created. Instead, I have to look for it in the temp
directory and open it manually !!!
I am using the 'bibtotoc' option in the arguments to the document class.

To copy/paste the log of the crash from the window saying you found a bug (though I don't know how helpful that text is), you need to right-click in that window and you can then "Copy to Clipboard".

Koma-script not fully compatible with hyperref package
This message is more FYI:
the "intoc" and "bibtotoc" options of the report(koma-scrpt) package, as well as
the "addchap", "addpart" and their *-red counterparts to not create the correct
hyperlinks in the PDF document. For the part/chapter, it will link on the page
_before_ the start of your actual section, and the toc options will link below
your chapter name!
This is due to a bug in the packages (hyperref requires the \phantomsection fix,
which koma-scrpt does not currently implement).
Instead of using the above commands, you should use the following Latex code if
you're using hyperref. This example creates a bibliography chapter with the name
"List of References". If you want it to not appear in the TOC, omit the line
with a *.
\cleardoublepage
\phantomsection
* \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bibname}
Only after this use chapter* or part* instead of the addchap or the addpart
koma-script commands, or if you want to begin the bibliography as in my case,
you would continue with:
\renewcommand{\bibname}{List of References}
\begin{thebibliography}
Have fun LyX-ing!
Alex
P.S. Should I also report this bug somewhere on CTAN where the packages reside?
I can't figure out for the love of God where I can sign up for a user account on
the Koma Script website, though my German is good enough. It only lets
_existing_ users log in or renew passwords though!

Error message in LyX 1.5.7
I am using 1.5.7 as I think it is the most stable version currently. I unistalled all other versions of the software and did a clean install. I used the new "AltInstaller" However, whenever I try to convert to .dvi or .ps, the following message comes up: --- LyX: Cannot Convert File --- An error occurred whilst running python -tt "C:/Program Files/LyX 1.5.7/Resources/s" --- OK ... not really OK, but do I have a choice? Is there anything I can do to fix this, maybe my configuration needs to change as LyX doesn't find a file it needs? Alex P.S. I assume no one will be fixing any 1.5.7 bugs now that 1.6.0 is out? However this new AltInstaller might be causing some of the problems.

LyX fails to convert an EPS to a bitmap, so there is no preview I am seeing the same python error even with a fresh installation of 1.5.7 in its original directory... Maybe my paths are screwed up, but I'm not sure how to fix it, and I wish LyX would do its own configuration checking ahead of time instead of spitting out errors in the middle of doing something. I know this is a work in progress, but it would be more user-friendly if a dialog or something would pop up prompting the user to help locate python or whatever missing component LyX needs, and then update the paths accordingly for the future.

I was amazed of the level of detail he offered in his answer, but basically the issues are within the hyperref package and how koma-script is able to work with hyperref.

LyX efficient language/spell-check toggle
Hello everyone. I have been using LyX as my LaTeX editor of choice for quite some time now, and I have found it to be quite helpful. I have also managed to set up spell checking for both the languages that I am interested in, English and Greek. However, the way that I currently toggle between those languages is quite inconvenient. That is, I use Alt + Shift to toggle between languages (as I usually do), which achieves the transition from one language to another. However, that's not enough to get LyX to toggle to the latter language. LyX keeps spell-checking using the former language. I have to use a second keyboard shortcut to get LyX to switch languages, as far as spell-checking goes. For example, I have to use 2 keyboard shortcuts in order to go from writing English characters with English spell-checking to writing Greek characters with Greek spell-checking, and vice versa. Obviously, those are one too many shortcuts. So, my question is: can LyX be configured so that toggling between languages is made by one keyboard shortcut, or maybe so that LyX senses the keyboard layout (GR or US) in use and spell-checks appropriately? This is an issue that has been bothering me for quite some time, and any help would be very much appreciated. I believe it's irrelevant, but right now I am working on a Linux Mint system. However, I have faced the same issue in windows. I have already posted the same question on the latex forums, on the LyX section, but after that realized that LyX has a mailing list, so I figured I would try my luck here as well. Cheers.
Re: LyX efficient language/spell-check toggle
Thanks, Richard. That seems like a step in the right direction. In the LyX functions user guide I indeed read about command sequences. One interesting point is that you can toggle between languages using the language lfun, with no arguments. However, I still cannot find a way for a single shortcut to do exactly what I want. That is because LyX does not capture shortcuts used for system keyboard layout toggle. So, it's not possible to set a shortcut of Alt + Shift -> language toggle. I would not mind having to use another shortcut, as long as it's only 1, to have the appropriate results. For example, something like that would require an lfun sequence like: ; . I still cannot achieve the layout toggle. I checked out keyboard mappings a bit, but to no avail. Another thing that caught my eye is that you can control LyX from other programs using lfuns. So, I though as a last resort solution to write a bash script that senses the layout toggle and sends the appropriate lfun to LyX. However, in the lfuns manual, I only found a small reference to that feature at the beginning. Is there any detailed documentation about this? Cheers.

For example, I have to use 2 keyboard shortcuts in order to go from writing English characters with English spell-checking to writing Greek characters with Greek spell-checking, and vice versa. Obviously, those are one too many shortcuts. So, my question is: can LyX be configured so that toggling between languages is made by one keyboard shortcut, or maybe so that LyX senses the keyboard layout (GR or US) in use and spell-checks appropriately? A single shortcut can do more than one thing, if you use the command-sequence LFUN. E.g., Ctrl-Alt-A is bound to: command-sequence buffer-begin ; buffer-end-select which has the effect of selecting the whole buffer. See the documentation for command-sequence under Help> LyX Functions. Richard
Re: LyX efficient language/spell-check toggle
I have managed to write a serviceable script that uses LyX server and LFUNs and toggles between languages only with the shortcut Alt + Shift. I am quite pleased with the result, but I have come up with a slight improvement, that can be achieved by tracking the current language used to spell check in LyX. However, all the LFUNs seem to be "one-directional", that is they transfer information from the external application to LyX. Is there a way (for example, a get-language LFUN that I am missing) to echo the current LyX language in the terminal, so that I can use it in a script? Cheers.
Re: UTF-8, Lyx, and Bibtex--> SOLVED?
Recently, I had the same problem. BibTeX generated wrong characters or
errors, due to bad encoding. It was complaining that it can not
understand \h{o} as a control sequence! Why? I thought it is a general
way to get accented letters.
I have switched in the .bib file from LateX encoding to UTF8 and then to
my local ISO8859-2 encoding. The last switch solved the problem. LyX
file has UTF8 encoding.
I have just read the other e-mails. When I finish with the current,
writing I will also try biber.

Hi! Are there a page, where all of the LyX features are listed? (e.g. with reference where it is described, if it is done so.) I know that the new features are mentioned on the wiki at the following pages: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX14 http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX15 http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16 http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20 Alex
Desktop icon
Hi LyX people! Just a little question: I'd like to have a LyX icon on my desktop to quickly launch the program! Doesn't the LyX team have released anyone? The INSTALL readme file in the source package of lyx-1.1.6 tells about an icon (lyx.xpm) that can be used to display lyx-documents in filemanagers (as is) but I have not found it in the images/ directory! I think it would be a good idea to create a desktop icon for the launcher of the executable! Perhaps I should try to create it by myself and then submit it to the LyX team! Thank you in advance for the answer! Goodbye! alex

Tables of contents entries are generated only by the sectioning
commands. In
order to add a new entry you should type in Tex mode the following
command:
\addcontentsline{toc}{sec_unit}{entry}
where sec_unit is chapter, section... as you want the appearance in the
toc
and entry is Preface, Bibliography, Goofy or anything else!
Put the command just after the right heading in your document (but check
the
page number in the toc... in the past were reported some problems of a
wrong
page number... so you should adjust the position of the command}.
Hope this help.

Suggestion
Hi all, I am using LyX 1.3.6 (Mac), although I've noticed the same behaviour on Linux and Windows builds. One thing that keeps getting me is that I find the selection behaviour un-intuitive. Because it is very much a character - to - character selection, which makes it hard to select and rearrange whole paragraphs or whole sections or even just a whole line. For example, say I had a list and I wanted to move the first item to the bottom. I either have to: - place the caret at the first position of the first line, select all the characters in that line, cut them, move to the bottom, manually add a new line, then paste the selection. The disadvantage is that the bullet point is not included in the selection, so if I paste it elsewhere I have to make sure I prepare a bullet point first. - alternatively i place the caret at the first position of the first line and then move back one character (which places the caret at the end of the line preceeding it) and then select the characters. This will now include the bullet point in the selection (which is what I would expect), but the last end-of-line (well, end of paragraph) is not included, so I still have to insert that, or select up to the start of the next line or something. I don't know about others that use lyx, but I think that if lyx behaved a little more like traditional word processors when it came to selections at the start and end of lines I would be much happier. I have to say, though, that I love lyx and this is only a suggestion. -alex
Lyx - MLA format
Hi, I recently had to do an English assignment and my professor asked for the MLA format. Despite my search efforts, I could not find an MLA document layout in Lyx and had to use OOo 2.0 to do the assignment. I currently use Windows with Miktex and Lyx. I would really appreciate if someone could walk me through the process of getting Lyx to use the MLA format. Thanks in advance, Alex

highlight / underline mispelt words
Hi fellow lyxers. It would be nice to have a less intrusive spell check where any mispelt words are highlighted. (in word processors this is typically a curly red underline) The reason for requesting this is because I find the current (1.4.1) spellcheck very intrusive and I sometimes want to check my spelling as I go without overly interrupting my thought process. What I was thinking was a quick key combination that did a "rough spellcheck", which runs through the document and applies a special highlight to words that are mispelt (removing that same highlight anywhere else). And, most important, returns the cursor to where it was. I suppose there is no reason why that particular highlight style couldn't be visible in the TeX output. Anyway, thought I would suggest it.
BibTex problem with Lyx 1.4.3
Hello. I'm running the Linux version 1.4.3 on Fedora
5 (64 bit). I'm having trouble with the usual tried
and true method of inserting references with BibTex.
My addition of citations seems to work fine when I
look at the lyx file itself, but the output to DVI or
PDF just gives [?] for the citations, and the
References section is blank.
Here's what I did...
At the end of my document I did this:
Insert --> List/TOC --> BibTex bibliography
I added a .bib file to the Database (specifying the
full path), I chose the "plain" style, and clicked the
"Add bibliography to TOC" box.
For the Bibliography document setting I'm using the
"Natbib" citation style.
Here are some of the error messages that appear when I
try to look at the DVI output. It seems to complain
that it can't "find" or "open" database files, yet I
can still add citations within the lyx environment as
if everything is fine. That is, it seems that lyx
itself recognizes the .bib file just fine. What's
going on?
-
ERROR MESSAGES (some of them)
-
I couldn't open database file
0_home_latex_bibfiles__refs_BibEdit_2.bib
---line 20 of file my_lyx_file.aux
\bibdata{0_home_arc_latex_bibfiles_neurosci_refs_BibEdit_2}
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
--
NOTE: The "bibdata" path looks funny to me. What's
with the leading zero? Is this the source of the
problem?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Bo. I managed to do my own fix before trying out your suggestion, so I don't know if what you suggest would've done the trick. But, after a reinstallation I did try using the "plain" style with natbib and it worked fine (this was after I fixed the problem; see below). For the interested, I was also having this exact same bibtex woes using the "apalike" style. My fix was of the hammering eggshells variety. Since I'm running 64-bit Fedora 5, I decided to wipe out every lyx related package and reinstall using the 32-bit versions. Specifically, the packages I removed and installed are: REMOVED (64-bit fedora core 5 versions) lyx lyx-qt lyx-debuginfo mathml-fonts aspell aspell-en INSTALLED (32-bit fedora core 5 versions) lyx-1.4.3-3.fc5.i386.rpm lyx-qt-1.4.3-3.fc5.i386.rpm qt-3.3.6-0.4.fc5.i386.rpm lyx-debuginfo-1.4.3-3.fc5.i386.rpm mathml-fonts-1.0-21.fc5.noarch.rpm aiksaurus-1.2.1-13.i386.rpm aspell-0.60.3-5.i386.rpm After the smoke cleared, my bibtex problem disappeared. Voila. It's conceivable, I guess, that wiping out the 64-bit versions and reinstalling them might've had the same effect. I just don't know. Maybe it's a glitch in one of the packages of the Fedora repositories. Also, Richard Heck suggested the following (which did not cure the bibtex problem, unfortunately).

Youppi, it works ! End of the story in 3 parts :
1) The file you provided works great, but when I first copied it, there was a
'new line character' here:
2004/10/07
> 20:53:07 tantau Exp $
which was a problem for Lyx --> I deleted it
2) Lyx then accepted to open a doc under the beamer class, but when I tried to
view it in pdf, it said that many things "did not correspond to their
definition" and other various errors
3)I therefore upgraded to Lyx 1.4.4-1 thanks to the link you provided earlier
... and everything went ok from then !
Many thanks for your help !
I'm really glad to be able to use beamer now !

Re: Collaboration using LyX in a MS Office workplace
Hi, David Hewitt wrote: Check AREnable <http://sourceforge.net/projects/arenable/>, a very good command line tool to enable comments on PDF's. That's what I use. Worked for me. Thanks. The only trouble is that the rights are enabled only until the file is saved after editing. Then it reverts to uneditable. Any ideas of what to do without re-enabling rights each time someone wants to make changes? If they're tied to MS Office I would guess they're using the Windows version in a Windows OS. In that case, you might try making them use PDF-XChange Viewer: http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF-XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer (it's what I use with vanilla pdflatex-generated documents). The free version allows you to annotate PDF files (locking is *optional*, by default disabled). However, after saving a PDF file with unlocked comments from PDF-XChange Viewer, Adobe Reader 8 Windows displays them as locked (and also reports it doesn't have permissions for assembly, signing, and creation of templates... strangely). But if you stick to that viewer to make changes, commenting should work smoothly. Alex

It would appear that something is different between both situations.
Maybe you are running two different versions of eLyXer, or perhaps you
are exporting the document to another LyX format. The first error
appears when parsing formulas in LyX 2.0 -- it has already been
corrected in git and will be there for the next version.
As this problem is a bit specific of eLyXer, I suggest that we stop
CC'ing lyx-users, if you want.
Alex.

eLyXer 1.2.2 released
Hi all, Version 1.2.2 of eLyXer, the LyX to HTML converter, has just been released. It contains a lot of small improvements and bug fixes suggested by users from all around the world. This is the first version to properly support LyX 2.0: eLyXer no longer complains about unsupported format. Be sure to read the change log: http://elyxer.nongnu.org/changelog.html for details. Download from nongnu.org mirrors: https://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=elyxer If the new version has not reached the mirrors yet: http://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/elyxer/ One last note: there was not much enthusiasm about making eLyXer into a generic LaTeX -> HTML converter. So apparently people are happy with the existing converters, and I will devote whatever small time I can to improving eLyXer as a LyX -> HTML converter. Thanks, Alex Fernández.

Good to know! If you want we can work through the issues one by one. While I am not ready to devote time to an --epub switch in eLyXer (which produces EPUB-clean HTML), as present in the feature wish-list, I would not mind adding features to eLyXer which allow it to better process all HTML files. For example, the author is probably taken from a META tag which eLyXer is not producing right now. It would be easy to add. Alex.

But the real issue, as we > discussed before, is somehow to defer them to the end. Actually, with eLyXer you can choose several styles for your footnotes: - hover, where the footnote appears when you place the pointer over them; - margin, where they appear on the right; - and end, where they are deferred to the end. They can be combined so footnotes appear at several places. Allow me to refer you to the relevant section of the user guide: http://elyxer.nongnu.org/userguide.html#sub:Footnotes Alex.

You can also use relative paths, and they are supposed to work! Where
are you placing the .bib files?

Let me explain you a little bit how BibTeX support works in eLyXer: it
keeps its own templates to transform the variables into references and
formats. These templates can be located in src/conf/base.conf. For
example the one you are using (I assume it is authordate2) looks like
this:
[BibStylesConfig.authordate2]
cite:$surname, $year
default:$authors. $year. $title. $publisher.{ URL $url.}{ $note.}
@article:$authors. $year. $title. $journal,
$volume($number), $pages.{ URL $url.}{
$note.}
@book:$authors. $year. $title. $publisher.{ URL $url.}{ $note.}
As you see, the first line defines the style, authordate2; the second
line the citing style, in this case author surname and year. I am
afraid the cites always show the brackets right now. After that you
can see how eLyXer will display the default document type, then an
article and a book.
> These are very commonly necessary functions, so I assume that I am
> doing something strange. How can I correct these problems?
It is just that these templates are user-contributed; apparently you
are the first to request the agsm format. If you want you can edit
your elyxer.py file and insert a new style: just go after the
vancouver style and insert this:
[BibStylesConfig.vancouver]
...
[BibStylesConfig.agsm]
cite:$surname, $year
default:$authors. $title; {$publisher, }$year.{ $howpublished.}{ URL:
$url.}{ $note.}
@article:$authors. $title. $journal,
$year{;{$volume}{($number)}{:$pages}}.{ URL: $url.}{ $note.}
@book:$authors. $title. {$publisher, }$year.{ URL: $url.}{ $note.}
Note that each document type (@article) has variables ($title) which
are taken from the .bib file, and some HTML code ($journal) to
format the text.
Now you can play with it until you like the result, and then send it
my way. Alternatively, you can send me another sample privately and I
will work on it.
Thanks,
Alex.

Master/Child documents are too rigid (but eLyXer works fine). eLyXer has the option --splitpart which can divide a document into chapters, sections or subsections.

Ideally, that post-processor should be integrated within eLyXer to generate EPUB or Kindle documents. I would be glad to add new options: $ elyxer.py --epub input.lyx output.html or, for Kindle: $ elyxer.py --kindle input.lyx output.azw (if that is indeed the extension for Amazon Kindle). The problem I found when I looked into supporting EPUB was the definition of the format itself: the supposedly open validator rejected a lot of the constructs which eLyXer uses in its output, but they worked fine in e.g. Calibre to generate a full EPUB document. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB#Validation Perhaps newer versions of the specification have improved in that respect. > Thanks for eLyXer.

Re: eLyXer for Document Parsing
Hi all, I am currently travelling so excuse my android top-posting. Actually building a reusable in-memory representation for Python scripting of LyX documents was a requisite for eLyXer.

For the record, eLyXer creates an in-memory representation of the complete LyX document since version 0.36 (released back in 2009): http://elyxer.nongnu.org/changelog.html When using the --lowmem option, this in-memory representation is created and flushed for each document block independently. Otherwise you load the entire document in memory. Alex.

Ah, OK. Always hated DOM. eLyXer's in-memory representation is for the LyX document, not of the resulting HTML document. Much tighter this way, IMHO. Alex.

I don't know of any examples outside eLyXer. The source code should be quite readable. I would point you to main.convert.eLyXerConverter and proc.process.Processor as starting points; there are actually a few ways to do what you want (iterate over Containers). If you want I can give you further explanations offlist. Alex.

That would be great. Unfortunately eLyXer is pretty much a solo project at the moment, and I don't have the time (or even the inclination) to do the job. But it might be a great project to have someone else started on the eLyXer codebase, and I would provide all the assistance needed to learn their way around. Interested parties are encouraged to contact me if you feel that you might want to tackle this project, always with Rob's coordination. Alex.

Apart from cutting pages at a fixed number of words, or doing some troff-like abomination (the kind you see on RFCs: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1866.txt), I don't see how that would even work. The natural way to do what you want would be to cut the output by sections; and frankly I don't understand why that solution doesn't cut it for you (pun intended). Another request I have received, and which I need myself, is to output section names as page names, the kind of dash-separated-titles that you see on blog posts. I should take out some time to work on eLyXer! Alex.
