I do not know! As far as I know before lyx 2.0.1 using relative paths

It would be nice if there were a solution to this.
sure!
For your
case, unless you must maintain this kind of directory structure, it
might help you if you put your preamble.tex file in the same directory
as your *.lyx file and use \input{preamble.tex} instead of a relative
path.
This solution will be a nightmare! I got people at my institute to move
from word to lyx and we have created many svn projects, books and many
other things that rely on the fact that lyx can understand relative
paths and in this way we can work all together. Hope there is something
more evident.
I cannot believe that this version of lyx is going to drop the support
to relative paths I put an example with a tex file, but what about child
documents, graphic files and others that until now I didn't tested with
lyx 2.0.1.
Although I am not entirely sure, in LyX 1.6.x there was a way to tell
LyX to use the current WD instead of a temp one.
Here using lyx-1.6.10 with the test I sent everything is ok. As far as I

default math mode for multiline equations
Dear lyxers I would like to know if there is some way to customize the math environment that lyx provides when Ctrl+Enter is used (multiline formulae). As it is described at the math documentation section 18.1 when AMS math package is used the align environment is used as the default. Now I would like to use lyx memoir book together with AMS math package but using gather environment as the default environment for multiline math expressions. However, I cannot find at the preferences or layout files where this can be set. Sorry if I have missed something evident but I've checked documentation and gmane mailing lists and I couldn't find any answer. Can I customize lyx behaviour to get gather multiline environment when I hit CTRL+Enter using the AMS math package? Thanks in advance for your help Best regards Oscar

Thank you very much for your detailed and helpful explanation
The glyph '@' has two different meanings in LaTeX. It is used as an active
char (inside the document) and (for instance) as a namespace delimiter (in
classes). The latter is the case in your preamble snippet, e.g. in
l...@mkboth\markboth
To switch between these two meanings, the commands \makeatletter and
\makeatother are used. In general, you always need to embrace preamble code
with
\makeatletter
...
\makeatother
if it contains an '@'.
LyX does this automatically for you, that's why your document works if the
code is inserted directly to the preamble. In former versions, Lyx blindly
embraced any preamble with this pair. Now, it tries to be smart and only
embraces it if the preamble actually contains an @-glyph.
In the \include-version, this is not the case.
So now, somehow lyx parses the preamble and tries to be smart enough.
The solution is
a.) to embrace the original code accordingly, if it is in a normal tex file
or
ok! This solves the problem.
Thanks again for your help, it is really appreciated.
Best regards
b.) make it a real sty-File (where this is not needed).

memoir class lyx-1.5 file does not work with lyx-1.6
Dear Lyxers
I am trying to use a lyx template which uses the memoir book class that
worked pretty well with lyx-1.5.4 but now with lyx-1.6.2 refuses to
compile because the lyx error (in fact latex error) says:
\pagestyle{myMainheading} I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to
match anything. For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that I've just
inserted will cause me to report a runaway argument that might be the
root of the problem. But if your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it
will go away.
I thought that the problem could be related to this chunk of code
\makepsmarks{companion}{%
\l...@mkboth\markboth
\def\chaptermark##1{\markboth{##1}{##1}}% % left right marks
\def\sectionmark##1{\markright{% % right mark
\ifnum \...@secnumdepth\z@
\thesection. \% % section number
\fi
##1}}
}
because when I remove it, everything works (the above code is a copy of
the memoir manual) I've tried to reproduce the error in a minimal

Re: memoir class lyx-1.5 file does not work with lyx-1.6
Dear all
I have been able to reproduce the problem. Attached there is a minimal
lyx file together with a minimal preamble (foo.tex) which reproduces the
problem.
* if the lyx preamble consists of \input{foo.tex} it does not work and
the aforementioned error appears. If I enclose \input{foo.tex} between
\makeatletter and \makeatother then it works, which really puzzles me.
*if the content of the preamble foo.tex is directly included in the lyx
preamble
everything work like expected.
I am completely shocked about such behaviour. I am not sure what is
going on and I'd appreciate somebody could comment about this. I have
thought that could be related to master-child documents (the initial lyx
file was a master and several child but now it is just one document) but
it does not make any sense at all.
I usually write the preamble into an external text file, especially when
the preamble is complicated like the one of the book in order to be able
to easily edit it. However, I enclosing the lyx preamble of the actual
book between \makeatletter and \makeatother another errors appear as it
would be expected. So, I am completely lost and I do not know how the
problem could be solved. Perhaps I am missing something quite evident
and I am writing rubbish. Any comment or suggestion is appreciated.

floats inserted in a beamer presentation does not show the label counter
Dear Lyxers When I insert a Float Figure in a beamer presentation with a caption the label counter it does not show at the pdf output. However, if i insert a reference to the figure label this reference is correctly displayed at the pdf output. Is this expected? Is there any way to include a numbered float in a beamer presentation? Any possible workaround? I know that it could be a little bit strange to use floats in a presentation. However, I am working in a somehow kind of a mixture between article and presentation project. Thank you very much for all your help Best regards

multiplatform vector drawing program to use
Dear lyxers I am starting a document project with a colleague using lyx. The goal is to obtain a big document of a technical course. My colleague uses the windows version of lyx and I use the linux version. At this initial stage we can easily share simple documents. Now we are concerned with the use of a common vector drawing program that can be used at both platforms. The main feature that we require is that the vector drawing program can annotate drawings with latex math formulae. I am quite satisfied with the current support of xfig at lyx using external material. However, as far as I know, xfig only runs at linux machines therefore we are looking for an alternative program. Could anybody care to give us some recommendation? Any advice related to other aspects of such a project are also welcome. Thank you very much for all your help Best regards

pdf output of boldsymbol math does not work
Dear all
It seems that pdf output of boldsymbol math does not show properly when the
command \boldsymbol is used. I am using lyx-1.5.4 (compiled version using
kubuntu and texlive)
Open a new document (article) enter a math inset with \boldsymbol* an enter a
letter \boldsymbol{a} \boldsymbol{\alpha}. Then, View-PDF (pdflatex) the math
fonts are not bold faced. The culprit seems to be the \usepackage{mathptmx}

I have been using lyx since version 1.2.x and this caught me by surprise.
As far as the braces are concerned, LyX is interpreting your typing of
'\boldsymbol{' as requesting both a bold symbol and a set of braces.
Try '\boldsymbol ' (note the space at the end).

But as Paul has pointed out mathptmx has no bold symbols. Therefore lyx has to
load something to the preamble in the case math boldsymbols are required. Either
a \usepackage{bm} together with \usepackage{mathptmx} are added or only

pdf output of boldsymbol math does not work
Dear all
It seems that pdf output of boldsymbol math does not show properly when the
command \boldsymbol is used. I am using lyx-1.5.4 (compiled version using
kubuntu and texlive)
Open a new document (article) enter a math inset with \boldsymbol* an enter a
letter \boldsymbol{a} \boldsymbol{\alpha}. Then, View-PDF (pdflatex) the math
fonts are not bold faced. The culprit seems to be the \usepackage{mathptmx}
included by lyx at preamble. Adding \usepackage{bm} creates a quasi bold face
math both by shifting slightly the font (the looking using a zoom is poor)
However, if the package mathptmx is not loaded and only the bm package is

Differences using beamer class in lyx-1.5.2 versus lyx-1.4.x
Hello lyxers
Yesterday I updated from lyx-1.4.x to lyx-1.5.2 and first of all I would like to
thank to developers for such a great software.
The first try I did when testing the new version was to load a beamer
presentation I was working on. The first thing I got was a bunch of errors in
the Lyx: latex Errors window, something like this:
Latex Error: \begin{center} on input 211 ended by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup
You can't use '\prevdepth' in horizontal mode
Missing $ Inserted,
Missing number, treated as zero.
I finally managed to compile the document by moving to a new paragraph all lyx
notes and branches that were inlined within the text. What worries me is that I
have many presentations made in the past that I frequently use and I expect that
the same problem can appear. Has anybody experienced the same problem or similar
ones?
Another notorius difference is the new font selection mechanism. In lyx-1.4.x I
selected the fonts of the document to Times. Now the new font selection window
it says Default Family: Default and Roman: Times Roman. The problem is twofold
- the generated pdf embbeds type 3 fonts (bitmapped)
- the look of the fonts is quite different
Why lyx-1.5.2 does not load the previously used by lyx-1.4.x font correctly? And
by the way, when I selected Font: Times in lyx-1.4.x what is the font that I
have to select in lyx-1.5.2 to get the same printable results.
Having said that, I would like to underline that I really appreciate the new
features lyx-1.5.2 has and I am looking forward to working on a daily basis with
such a beautiful creature!
Thanks a lot for all your help
Best wishes

Anyway, I can live with this. - the generated pdf embbeds type 3 fonts (bitmapped) - the look of the fonts is quite different I believe that if you want the Adobe standard fonts, you should select Times Roman, Helvetica and Courier for Roman, San Serif and Typewriter respectively. Yes, that did the trick. If your imported slide show had the Roman font set to Times Roman and you got bitmapped fonts anyway, my guess is that they were for special characters (math symbols, san serif fonts, something like that). The default font of the beamer.layout was San Serif and lyx-1.5.2 selects Default for the San Serif font and i think that this was the problem. When I have selected Helvetica for San Serif following your advice everthing looks the same as before (including Type 1 fonts). Thanks a lot for your help Paul. Best wishes

Yes, that did the trick. If your imported slide show had the Roman font set to Times Roman and you got bitmapped fonts anyway, my guess is that they were for special characters (math symbols, san serif fonts, something like that). The default font of the beamer.layout was San Serif and lyx-1.5.2 selects Default for the San Serif font and i think that this was the problem. When I have selected Helvetica for San Serif following your advice everthing looks the same as before (including Type 1 fonts). Thanks a lot for your help Paul. Best wishes
Differences using beamer class in lyx-1.5.2 versus lyx-1.4.x
Hello lyxers
Yesterday I updated from lyx-1.4.x to lyx-1.5.2 and first of all I would like to
thank to developers for such a great software.
The first try I did when testing the new version was to load a beamer
presentation I was working on. The first thing I got was a bunch of errors in
the Lyx: latex Errors window, something like this:
Latex Error: \begin{center} on input 211 ended by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup
You can't use '\prevdepth' in horizontal mode
Missing $ Inserted,
Missing number, treated as zero.
I finally managed to compile the document by moving to a new paragraph all lyx
notes and branches that were inlined within the text. What worries me is that I
have many presentations made in the past that I frequently use and I expect that
the same problem can appear. Has anybody experienced the same problem or similar
ones?
Another notorius difference is the new font selection mechanism. In lyx-1.4.x I
selected the fonts of the document to Times. Now the new font selection window
it says Default Family: Default and Roman: Times Roman. The problem is twofold
- the generated pdf embbeds type 3 fonts (bitmapped)
- the look of the fonts is quite different
Why lyx-1.5.2 does not load the previously used by lyx-1.4.x font correctly? And
by the way, when I selected Font: Times in lyx-1.4.x what is the font that I
have to select in lyx-1.5.2 to get the same printable results.
Having said that, I would like to underline that I really appreciate the new
features lyx-1.5.2 has and I am looking forward to working on a daily basis with
such a beautiful creature!
Thanks a lot for all your help
Best wishes

Oscar Lopez wrote: As a side note, how the external inset knows if the fig file must be exported as combined ps/latex, it scans the fig file looking for the special flag of the text? No. As you can see from the definition of the xfig external inset it creates a file in pstex format (for latex) or pdftex format (for pdflatex). If you look up the fig-pstex and fig-pdftex converters you can see that those files are create by the scripts fig2pstex.py and fig2pdftex.py, respectively. These scripts invoke fig2dev, and it is finally that program that creates a bit of wrapper LaTeX code that takes care of the special text. This may look complicated, but it works well, and the advantage over examining the .fig file in LyX is that we do not need to know anything about the .fig file format, so this works even if the .fig file format changes. Thank you for the detailed explanation Very smart and good work! Keep it up! Best wishes!

Floats over more than one page
Hello eveyone
I have a book-based document and I am using the algorithm floats. The
document options are boxed and chapter and in this way the look of the
algorithm is boxed with the caption located at the bottm of the frame
with the numbering based on chapter number. I have only one long
algortihm that extents over more than one page. So, I checked the
amazing help provided by our beloved Herbert and, as usual, I found a
useful tip
http://www.lyx.org/help/floats/nonFloat.php3
So I tried to patch the Table example to cover the algorithm case
\newenvironment{myAlgorithm}[1] {% caption as parameter
\stepcounter{algorithm}
\vspace{1ex}
\addcontentsline{lot}{section}{\thealgorithm\hspace{0.75em} #1}
\center{\textbf{Algorithm \thealgorithm : }#1}%
}
{%
\vspace{1ex}%
\addtocounter{algorithm}{-1}%
}
and it works but the caption is located at the top of the algorithm, the
text is centered inside the float and there is no framebox. So, please
could you point me out a way to solve these problems? i.e
1. The caption located at the bottom of the algorithm
2. The framebox extended over more than one page
Thanks a lot for your help

dvips + psfrag problem ?
Hello lyxers First of all I apologize because the subject it is a little bit off-topic but I don't know where I can post a problem like this, please if you could point me out another forum I will be very grateful to you To compose figures with nice math fonts I use psfrag, but when I need to produce a pdf output I have to put the eps file with the psfrag commands in another lyx file, let's say psfrag.lyx, and try to adjust the paper size to the eps file bounding box and produce a eps file (using export- postscript) with the psfrag substitutions. This latest eps file can be converted to pdf and in this way I can produce pdf figures with the same quality as postcript files with psfrag. Now when I insert the eps file, i.e. psfrag.eps, into the main lyx file, lyx produces a nice postscript in which there is no eps figures, ant the worst thing is that it doesnt complaint about anything. One year ago this worked for me. Now I am not able to produce the same result even with the same files generated one year ago. The only differences I have now are a new teTeX distribution and several lyx updates. After a lot of tests I am almost sure that the source problem could be dvips which has changed from v.5.78 to 5.86 or maybe some obscure parameter exchanging between lyx and the others programs. Dos anybody experience similar problems ? Does anybody know if dvips 5.86 is expected to be buggy ? Is anybody using this kind of solution to produce pdf figures with nice math fonts, i.e. mathscript ? What other kind of solutions exist to produce figures with math latex fonts in eps and pdf format at the same time ?

In latex preamble
\usepackage{cancel}
and then in math environment
\cancelto{reason_of_cancelation}{whatever_you_need_to_cancel}
There are several commands, look at the package documentation
Hope it helps

Re: Comments on lyx.1.1.5pre3 and layouts

Oscar 2. How can I create a style layout for a latex command with,
Oscar let's say, five arguments ?. I am trying to write a lyx layout
Oscar for a specific cv class, and in this class there are many latex
Oscar commands with a different number of arguments. For example,
Oscar there are commands like
Oscar \foocommand{}{}{}{}{X}{foo}
If the empty braces are always empty and the X is a constant, you can
do
LatexOptions "{}{}{}{}{X}"
Unfortunately this is not the case. Most of the times every argument
represent a field that you have to fill with an arbitrary text, and
sometimes some arguments remain empty and sometimes they must be
completely filled. The more usual latex command that I'd like to support
is something like that
\foocommand{first field with arbitrary text}{second field with arbitrary
text}{third field with arbitrary text}
Thanks,
