If the babel package for multilingual documents is installed with your LaTeX distibution, it would be fairly easy to produce, using transliteration, documents including text in (classical and modern) greek or in any other of the supported languages.

Combination of DocBook, LinuxDoc and LyX -- once more
Apologies for bringing up this issue again, but I'm a bit confused. On an intel machine, RedHat 6.1 installed the following teTeX RPMs: tetex-1.0.6-7 tetex-afm-1.0.6-7 tetex-dvilj-1.0.6-7 tetex-dvips-1.0.6-7 tetex-fonts-1.0.6-7 tetex-latex-1.0.6-7 tetex-xdvi-1.0.6-7 After the installation I added the following sgml related RPMs from the distribution cd and the RedHat powertools collection (ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/powertools/6.1/): sgml-common-0.1-6 sgml-tools-1.0.9-2 docbook-3.0-12 stylesheets-0.11rh-2 jade-1.2.1-6 jadetex-2.5-1 At this point, I was able to produce, LinuxDoc- *and* DocBook-originating HTML, TeX etc. with commands like the following: db2dvi xarticle.sgm # (DocBook) sgml2latex example.sgml # (LinuxDoc) Next, I installed the LyX RPMs: tetex-lyx-1.1.2-1 lyx-1.1.2-1 Now, LyX did find LinuxDoc, but *not* DocBook, as it reported in the configuration file it generated. Trying to change that, I attempted to upgrade to sgmltools,v2 with the RPM sgmltools-CVS19990807-2 from ftp://ftp.us.sgmltools.org This was not allowed as conflicts were reported with packages jade-1.2.1-6 and jadetex-2.5-1. Just for testing, I uninstalled the jade* packages and installed sgmltools-CVS19990807-2. OK. After reconfiguring, LyX saw DocBook but, rightfully, lost LinuxDoc. One question is why LyX cannot understand that, although sgmltools-CVS19990807-2 is not present, DocBook exists on my system. Another question is if there is a way to convince LyX on that. What I want is both DTDs present and working, with or without LyX, for obvious reasons. TIA Prokopis
