iCloud Drive and LyX Backup Files

[Jeremy via lyx-users]

LyX saves backup files by appending a tilde, ~, to the file name. Apple's 
iCloud Drive does not upload files ending in tildes to the cloud. Is there a 
way to get these two pieces of software to coexist, so that LyX backups can 
themselves be backed up into Apple's cloud?

I suppose this could occur by either:

1. Forcing iCloud Drive to sync files ending in a tilde

2. Changing the extra character in the file extension of LyX backups to a 
character other than tilde

Does anyone know how to solve this?

If anyone cares, my motivation is that iCloud Drive supports end to end 
encryption, if you turn on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud. I realize that 
there are some smaller companies that also support end to end encryption, but 
the well-known cloud storage providers Box, Dropbox, Google and Microsoft do 
not. 

Happy New Year, Jeremy

highlighting long text exhibits

[Jeremy C. Reed]

My book has several long exhibits or examples that may be multiple pages 
long (such as verbatim copies of software agreements and lists of 
software packages and descriptions).  Instead of putting at end of book 
as appendix material, I am including them directly in the chapters with 
the related content.

I'd like it to be identified somehow to be extra content so it doesn't 
break the flow of the reading and is easily identified.

Some ideas I tried:

- alltt environment but the fixed font went beyond right margins and no 
caption for each page.

- sloppypar with texttt -- that was fine but didn't identify it was 
different than rest of content other than font change. (I don't care if 
the content paragraphs are reformatted.) Also no caption for each page.

- longtable with vertical and horizontal borders (a box) with the 
sloppypar and texttt for content inside and a caption at the bottom.

I also changed the tablename (and listtablename) to be Exhibit
instead Table.  (By the way, do any of you do this? What do you call 
it?)

The problem with this is that the caption is only on one page. Also I 
may have bottom hline and caption on page by itself.

And on another example the content just goes off the bottom margin 
instead of continuing to next page.

- Used framed package with leftbar environment. That is fine but no 
caption (need a float? but that won't work for a multipage?)

I will next try using lstlistings with lstcaptioncont (so I can have 
captions on every page). But I want the text paragraphs to flow together 
instead of going out into right margin. Any ideas on that?  (Instead of 
continuing to spend more hours trying new ideas, I decided now to ask 
the list :)

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on how to do this better?

Thank you,

  Jeremy C. Reed

I don't think any devices support MathML yet.

I made that change. And the new xhtml displayed as:

So I removed these math fractions from my lyx document and replaced with 
the special symbol from the Number Forms category.

This now works for my XHTML and the EPUB and MOBI converted from it. The 
XHTML now contains this character: ??? 

This adds one issue -- I now have some Lyx/LaTeX in my XHTML output (and

!-- Preamble Snippets --
\newcommand*\LyXonethird{\mbox{\raisebox{.8ex}{1}\kern-.175em\raisebox{.2ex}{/}\kern-.18em\raisebox{-.2ex}{3}}}

That line is included as content at the start of my document.

I can easily remove it to workaround this issue.

 Do something like this in your LyX file, under Document Settings Local

 Format 31
 
 InsetLayout Foot

 End
 
 At some point, we'll also provide the possibility to export footnotes as
 endnotes instead. There's some code for this already, in fact, but I have been
 too busy to finish it.

Thank you.

I set it to:

InsetLayout Foot

span.foot_label {
vertical-align: super;
font-size: smaller;
font-weight: bold;

div.foot {

margin-left: 15mm; margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; }

End

And that worked for me for the XHTML and my epub and mobi files.

(By the way, the \newcommand junk left in my XHTML file as mentioned in 
previous email caused calibre to not recognize my footnotes and 
converted foot to standard, footlabel to flexurl and footinner to 
standard. Once I manually removed that line from the XHTML file, then it 
worked.)

So I don't have foot notes, but simply a note in smaller font and 
indented on next line after the superscript number.

Thanks again for the lyx hint.

By the way, my lyx file doesn't seem to have any way to remove the 
Local Layout. Even if I clear it, press validate and click ok, then go 
back to settings it is there again.

lyxhtml and calibre and mobi and epub

[Jeremy C. Reed]

I am using LyX 2.0.0 (2011-04-29) on a Ubuntu system with lyx 2.0.0-1 
packages. I export XHTML using the lyxhtml export.

My goal is to create mobi (for kindle) and epub (for nook)files. I am 
using calibre 0.8.8 for conversion from the XHTML file.

Here are my issues:

1) the XHTML has:

 math xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML;
 mrow
  mfrac
   mrowmn1/mn
   /mrow
   mrowmn3/mn
   /mrow
  /mfrac
 /mrow/math

but the epub shows 13 and mobi has nothing.

2) Some lyx/tex sections are like First~Second~Third but the lyxhtml 
output in my table of contents is FirstSecondThird (no spaces). So I 
manually fixed them.

3) My print cross references say See page elsewhere. I fixed this 
with:

sed -e 's,on page \(a href=.*\)elsewhere,\1here,' -e 's,page \(a 
href=.*\)elsewhere,\1here,' -e 's,pages \(a 
href=.*\)elsewhere/a and \(a href=.*\)elsew,\1here/a and \2,'

4) I made some hyperlinks back into hyperlinks:
 
sed -e 's,span class=flex_url\([^]*\)/span,a href=\1span 
class=flex_url\1/span/a,g'

5) My footnotes work with the xhtml ... when I hover over them they 
popup. But these hover style footnotes don't work in the calibre viewer. 
The document shows the small underlined number but clicking or hovering 
on it does nothing.

The xhtml has:

div.foot:hover div.foot_inner {
display: block;
border: 1px double black;
margin: 0em 1em;
padding: 1em;
}

This was missing from the epub stylesheet.

I think the epub and mobi don't support hovering footnotes.

I see elyxer supports different footnote features. I didn't try all the 
elyxer features yet. (I see it has graphical arrow links I want to 
remove and also some index tags are left in my main content.)

6) The xhtml output had links to horizontal rules in my table of 
contents:

!-- Output Error: Tags still open in closeFontTags(). Probably not a 
problem,
but you might want to check these tags: --!-- Output Error: div 
--!-- Output Error: div --!-- Output Error: Tried to close pending 
tag `a' when other tags were pending. Last pending tag is 
`LyX_parsep_tag'. Tag discarded. --div class='lyxtoc-2' a 
href='#magicparlabel-236' class='tocarrow'gt;/a!-- Output Error: 
Closing tag `div' when other tags are open, namely: --!-- Output 
Error: LyX_parsep_tag --/div

I simple removed that line for each.


Anyways what do you all do to generate good epub and/or mobi files from 
LyX?

I also tried lyx2ebook but it crashed when I used it. (I sent traceback 
and example lyx file to the developer.)

Thank you

Re: Setting page margins..

[Jeremy C. Reed]

 I have a problem with the definition of the page margins in a LyX 
 document.. In particular, I would like to create a book-style 
 document, where the internal margin is always a bit bigger the the 
 external one so that once I print and bind it, the document will be 
 easily readable.

Choose Document - Settings.

Choose Page Margins (in left list).

Uncheck Default Margins. Set any as desired.

Click Ok or Apply.

(Maybe the defaults are good enough already.)

LaTeX line length formatting

[Jeremy C. Reed]

I am looking for a tool that will fold or format long LaTeX lines. It 
will need to know LaTeX, so it doesn't break commands or environments. 
(Examples: will properly handle % comments and not split a long 
\includegraphics filename.)

It would be great if the tool can be used non-interactively, such as 
piped on the Unix command line. Like a LaTeX knowledgable fmt or fold.

The reason I need this is that I read diffs of some LaTeX files and I 
don't want to see a diff of 80 word or 500 character lines (multiple 
sentences). By shortening lines, diffs are more manageable.

(On that note, I know some use a % comment on a new line in between 
every sentence -- the paragraph renders together, but diffs are easier 
to read. Can LaTeX export like that?)

I did look at and try LaTeXTidy.pl, but it doesn't do what I want.

Does LyX include any code or scripts that can be reused for that? It 
looks like LyX's LaTeX export formats nicely.

Or do you know of any tools for this?

Thanks

Pseudolengths can only be set in .lco (letter class option) files, e.g.
\ProvidesFile{mylcofile.lco}[]
\...@setplength{refwidth}{6.5in}

Then you need to load the .lco file in your lyx preamble
\LoadLetterOption{mylcofile}

just add myfilelco to your \documentclass[] options

The German version scrguide.pdf is more up-to-date than the English 
scrguien.pdf.

If you want to modify the default header  footer, look into the commands
\firsthead 
\nexthead 
\firstfoot 
\nextfoot


For example, in the preamble of your lyx file 
add some code defining a header:

% Define some komavars
\setkomavar{fromphone}{123-456-7890}
\setkomavar{fromfax}{123-456-0987}
\setkomavar{fromurl}{http://www.myhomepage.com}
\setkomavar{fromemail}...@myhomepage}

% Define PATH
%\def\MYPATH{/usr/share/mytemplates}

% Now define \myletterhead
\def\FHW{\useplength{firstheadwidth}}
\newcommand{\myletterhead}{
   \parbox[t]{\FHW}{
  \begin{tabular}[...@{}l}
 %\includegraphics[width=\FHW]{logo.jpg}
 %\includegraphics[width=\FHW]{\MYPATH/Logos/logo.pdf}
 This is the first line of header.
  \end{tabular}
  \hfill
  % This is the next line of header
  {\footnotesize
 \definecolor{headercolor}{cmyk}{0.32549, 0.11373, 0, 0.23529, 0.39216}
 \color{headercolor}
 {Office:~\usekomavar{fromphone}} \hfill
 {Fax:~\usekomavar{fromfax}}   \hfill
 {Web:~\usekomavar{fromurl}}   \hfill
 {Email:~\usekomavar{fromemail}}
  }
   }
}
\firsthead{\usebox{\myletterhead}} %construct new koma \firsthead

We could also use saved boxes instead:
\firsthead{\usebox{\letterhead}} 

Then at top of your lyx document, you can insert some ERT code  to initialize 
your sbox letterhead:

\newsavebox{\letterhead}
\sbox{\letterhead}{\myletterhead}

The German version scrguide.pdf is more up-to-date than the English 
scrguien.pdf.

If you want to modify the default header  footer, look into the commands
\firsthead 
\nexthead 
\firstfoot 
\nextfoot


For example, in the preamble of your lyx file 
add some code defining a header:

% Define some komavars
\setkomavar{fromphone}{123-456-7890}
\setkomavar{fromfax}{123-456-0987}
\setkomavar{fromurl}{http://www.myhomepage.com}
\setkomavar{fromemail}...@myhomepage}

% Define PATH
%\def\MYPATH{/usr/share/mytemplates}

% Now define \myletterhead
\def\FHW{\useplength{firstheadwidth}}
\newcommand{\myletterhead}{
   \parbox[t]{\FHW}{
  \begin{tabular}[...@{}l}
 %\includegraphics[width=\FHW]{logo.jpg}
 %\includegraphics[width=\FHW]{\MYPATH/Logos/logo.pdf}
 This is the first line of header.
  \end{tabular}
  \hfill
  % This is the next line of header
  {\footnotesize
 \definecolor{headercolor}{cmyk}{0.32549, 0.11373, 0, 0.23529, 0.39216}
 \color{headercolor}
 {Office:~\usekomavar{fromphone}} \hfill
 {Fax:~\usekomavar{fromfax}}   \hfill
 {Web:~\usekomavar{fromurl}}   \hfill
 {Email:~\usekomavar{fromemail}}
  }
   }
}
\firsthead{\usebox{\myletterhead}} %construct new koma \firsthead

We could also use saved boxes instead:
\firsthead{\usebox{\letterhead}} 

Then at top of your lyx document, you can insert some ERT code  to initialize 
your sbox letterhead:

\newsavebox{\letterhead}
\sbox{\letterhead}{\myletterhead}

LaTeX has see for an index entry, but docbook has see and see also.

Any suggestions on how to get LyX or LaTeX to support a see also style

I believe that \seename can be redefined, but I may want both.

 The problem with a spreadsheet is that Excel does not (as far as I know)

If all you need is row+column data from an excel spreadsheet, you could also 
use the perl module Spreadsheet::ParseExcel

Copy and delete everything from your latex file starting from the top down to

Save this to a new file, eg. preamble.tex

Comment out the main document class:
%\usepackage[options]{someclass}
Also comment out other packages which conflict with lyx, eg. setspace, xcolor, 
etc.

Now create a new lyx file, and input your latex preamble under
Document - Settings - LaTeXPreamble
\input{/path/to/preamble.tex}

Also set any custom class options under Document - DocumentClass
e.g. dvipsnames, x11names, svgnames (for the xcolor package)

Finally import your original latex (lacking the preamble)

Then use a lyx converter to compile your lyx. If you get any errors, look 
through the log to find any errors in your preamble.tex. If there's a package 
that conflicts with lyx, then comment it out. Try again.

 I would like to add to my letters a signature created with inkscape from a

 The above works just fine with lyx for dvi and ps output.
 But I can't generate pdf.

 In order to directly generate pdfs I need to include in my preamble
 \usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}

 and convert to pdf using
 pdflatex --shell-escape file.tex

 However, lyx does not allow me to change or add options to the pdflatex
 converter.

I finally got this to work.
I added the option --shell-escape to the LaTeX (pdflatex) - PDF(pdflatex) and 
clicked modfiy
but when I clicked on the pdf button to regenerate and view the pdf, the 
pstricks logo was missing, but it was visible in the dvi and ps views.

I then clicked on View - PDF(ps2pdf) and the resulting pdf did show the 
pstricks logo. However, my envelopes were rotated to landscape view.

So I then added the auto-pst-pdf option -dAutoRotatePages=/None
\usepackage[ps2pdf={-dAutoRotatePages=/None}]{auto-pst-pdf}

So I then changed the converter for Postscript - PDF (ps2pdf)
Converter: ps2pdf13 -dAutoRotatePages=/None $$i $$o

Now I can generate letters+envelopes in pdf format with included pstricks 
logos/signatures.

 The above works just fine with lyx for dvi and ps output.
 But I can't generate pdf.

 In order to directly generate pdfs I need to include in my preamble
 \usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}

 and convert to pdf using
 pdflatex --shell-escape file.tex

 However, lyx does not allow me to change or add options to the pdflatex
 converter.

I finally got this to work.
I added the option --shell-escape to the LaTeX (pdflatex) - PDF(pdflatex) and 
clicked modfiy
but when I clicked on the pdf button to regenerate and view the pdf, the 
pstricks logo was missing, but it was visible in the dvi and ps views.

I then clicked on View - PDF(ps2pdf) and the resulting pdf did show the 
pstricks logo. However, my envelopes were rotated to landscape view.

So I then added the auto-pst-pdf option -dAutoRotatePages=/None
\usepackage[ps2pdf={-dAutoRotatePages=/None}]{auto-pst-pdf}

Thank you. I now scanned through the entire The Listings Package 
documentation. This appears to work for me. The default is to use the 
already defined font.

So I have:

\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{
columns=fixed
}

(I am not sure what the default is for columns, and didn't test others.)

But now document (the final PDF) has:
11Command invalid in math modeCommand invalid in math mode

Doesn't say what command. And nothing about this in my my latex logging.

I can reproduce this when I have two listlisting blocks that define a 
custom basicstyle. So my workaround is to simply change one of them to:

\begin{lstlisting}{basicstyle=\footnotesize}
to:
\begin{lstlisting}

But I need to reduce the size so a line doesn't wrap. Unless I can figure 
out how to increase the margin or get the text to not wrap.

Any thoughts on how to turn off any math mode or other?

Thanks again for pointing me to use listings package. Now the font looks 
correct and is still spaced accordingly.

similar typeface for monospaced and proportional?

[Jeremy C. Reed]

I am looking for some typeface that looks the same for both monospaced and 
proportional. I have a document with a mix of fixed width text that is to 
be lined up (verbatim environment). I'd prefer to not use tables to line 
up the content.

I want that font to look the same as the other variable-width fonts -- 
with the main difference just the spacing between the type. Currently 
there is a significant visible difference -- I am hoping it will be more 
similar.

Any suggestions for a typeface that looks very close to the same for both 
fixed width and variable width?

Or is there a way to tell TeX to use a proportional typeface but force it 
to use a fixed width so it will line up?

Currently, I am using
% for palatino font
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{microtype}

lyx 1.5.4 and my beamer is from pkgsrc package teTeX-texmf-3.0nb5.

I am trying to get a logo printed on every slide (PDF page). I have this 
in a ERT:

\pgfdeclareimage[height=2cm]{ISC-gears2}{ISC-gears2.png}

\logo{\pgfuseimage{ISC-gears2}}

But I don't see any logo. I am reading through the beameruserguide.pdf. 
Any suggestions/hints/examples would be appreciated.

  \pgfdeclareimage[height=2cm]{ISC-gears2}{ISC-gears2.png}
 
  \logo{\pgfuseimage{ISC-gears2}}
 
 I have placed this in the preamble and if I remember well we need to pass an 
 absolute path to \pgfdeclareimage because the latex code is compile in a 
 directory different from the one where the file is...

I moevd to the preamble and used full path to image.

I looked at the log and saw:

Package pgf Warning: File 
/home/reed/presentations/dnssec-intro/ISC-gears2.png
 not found when defining image ISC-gears2.
(pgf)Tried all extensions in pdf:jpg:png on input line 
51.


Package pgf Warning: Missing width for image ISC-gears2 in draft mode.
(pgf)Using 1cm instead on input line 51.



I got it to work by removing the .png from the filename.

Now I have a image in bottom right of each slide above the bottom border 
(that has the presentation Title) and above the PDF control graphics.

The image now overlaps some of my content so I am going to maybe make it 
smaller but at least I can now see it.

If you have any ideas on how to get it to be in background so text goes 
over it, please let me know.

Thanks,

Jeremy C. Reed
