LyX 2.3.4 and Evince/Okular synctex
After a week of Linux distros tests I settled yesterday with manjaro-gnome-19.0.2. This distro worked fine with the latest version of LyX.Concerning LyX synctex with Okular I have the following note to add to the pageLyX wiki | LyX / SyncTeX The following are necessary: 1) In Document > Settings > Formats, check Synchronize with output (In windows 10 it's not necessary to do that because I think there is a difference between TeXLive versions in Windows and Linux and how they work) 2) Tools → Preferences → File Handling → File Formats Select the format PDF (pdflatex)Set the Viewer field to Custom with a command: okular --unique as seen this screenshot https://imgur.com/Wf3aw9U I note also that so far I have tested the command "okular --unique" don't work properly in Windows ports of okular. - Synctex with Evince:It works great in my manjaro-gnome-19.0.2 tests, the only issue is that using the scripts http://www.spitzmueller.org/tools/lyx/evince_sync_lyx.zip evince don't start maximized even if you save window settings in it.My solution is to edit the preceding scripts and replace "evince" by the command "evince --fullscreen" - LyX version 2.3.4.4 (testing version):So far in my tests, I din't see any issue in Windows 10.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 2.3.4.2 'Emergency' Release
LyX version 2.3.4.3 work well in Windows 10 (Home Version 1909) as of my tests.Slowness in saves seems to have disappeared. Thanks for the new update. H.

Re: RHEL6 Linux 2.1.4 Compiling Help
Dear JMark,
Oh, sorry about that. I've rerun it with gcc 4.4 (and attached). Alas
I get errors in making with "/usr/include/QtCore/qthreadstorage.h:",
so I assume its an issue with my Qt version.
Kind Regards,
Ben

I tried compiling with the patch, gcc 4.4 and did this twice, one with

Sadly I did not have any luck. I think updating Qt might be
non-trivial on my build of RHEL6.

Hi: how do I edit remote files with Lyx on Ubuntu over sftp? Normally I open thunar or nautilus, click on the shortcut to my remote server, right-click on the remote file, and select an application to edit the file. This works with gedit, libreoffice, etc. When I open the file in the above manner using Open with Lyx.., lyx loads, but no document is opened. How should I debug and solve this problem? I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 and Lyx 2.1.2. I didn't use to have this problem on an older system running an earlier version of Lyx and Ubuntu. Ben

Lyx with spelling dictionary
Hi, I'm using redhat 6; I've tried downloading the latest source and following these steps: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/CreatingLyXRPM#toc3 And also tried creating an RPM package, however the dictionary choice in preferences language settings spellchecker; all options are greyed out, and I cannot provide a hunspell path under preferences paths as this is greyed out. I have relevant hunspell dictionary files in the ~/.lyx/dicts/ folder and they are named correctly. This a common issue with linux due to not compiling it with spellchecking support, and a fix is apparently to use 'Enchant' engine instead, however I have the Enchant package, and I still cannot select any spellchecker engines from the spellchecker menu. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can compile lyx on Redhat with spell checking support? Many Thanks, Ben Lowe

Dear Stephan, Thanks for your quick response. What option do I provide lyx with in order to compile with enchant/hunspell etc.?

Multi-documents
Hello, I use Lyx to write novels and factual books (some of which contain photos). I have a query regarding the use of child documents and a master document. What characteristics of the master document are given to a child document associated with it? For example, is the document class, font, margin settings of the master document given to a new child document that is associated with the master document? I am creating a new document for a chapter but if the document class, margins and font settings are not explicitly set in each of the child documents then, it seems that Lyx (2.0.6 and 2.1.0) complains and warns that a different document class is set and offers no warnings about differences in font or margin settings. Consistency throughout the book is important for me. Am I missing something? I would appreciate any help with this - I publish frequently and, like using Lyx. I also recommend it to fellow authors via createspace, smashwords etc. So, would appreciate getting this right. Many thanks, Ben

Setting table column width causes error
Hi, I have a small document which produces a latex error when processed. I have reproduced the error using lyx 1.6.10 and 2.0.2. The problem seems to be caused by setting a width on a table column. Removing the width on the second column of the second table fixes the error. The error text received is as follows: ! Package array Error: Illegal pream-token (\cv@lh@lr): `c' used. ! Package array Error: Illegal pream-token (\cv@rh@lr): `c' used. Please find the document attached. Ben Stanley. TableWidthBug.lyx Description: application/lyx

Re: Specify an input path in the global preferences?
What Guenter suggested seems reasonable. And if you have access to 2.0, there is also a TEXINPUTS input box in Paths. Nice, that's even more motivation for me to upgrade. I just implemented Guenter's suggestion, and it's working well for me. Thanks guys! -Ben

Specify an input path in the global preferences?
Hi,
My default preamble is \include{standardpreamble}. This works well
in the top level of my documents directory, where I keep
standardpreamble.tex. However, if I save a file to a subdirectory,
then standardpreamble cannot be found.
Is it possible, in the preferences (not document settings), to specify
an absolute search path so that standardpreamble.tex is always found?
Specifying an absolute path in the document settings is out of the
question, since I use LyX on several different computers / operating
systems, all synchronized with version control.
For silly compatibility reasons, I'm still using LyX 1.6.
Thanks!

LYX software query
Hi, I work in the IT arena at Deutsche Bank, a user has come to me requesting LYX on his work PC Please could you give me some information on the following: Lyx being free, is this something that can also be installed within a Corporate environment or does this change the perspective on it? It seems that when you installed it requires the ability to go to the web and pull down files, could you confirm that this is the case? Being a Corporate Environment we have firewalls in place and this would block certain ports, what ports does this software communicate through. Does the software require a 2 way ability to run. Is the an alternative install method/cost for Banks etc?

Making an argument with numbered premises and a conclusion.
In writing a document, I often need to write out an argument with numbered premises and a conclusion. The best I can figure out for now is to use the description code to label the argument, then nest in numbered premises and the conclusion. The problem with this is that the conclusion doesn't stand out. How could I have a horizontal line between the premises and conclusion, or a therefore symbol before the conclusion?

My libraries happen to be broken at the moment. Recompiling won't be any trouble once I fix all that. I'll need to find some spare time to finish the patch -- i.e. to make it perfect. So, if you can live with an almost perfect solution, go ahead. Okay, no hurry there. If Richard's patch is consistent with your screenshots, it does indeed look almost perfect. =) -Ben

Pilcrows / Paragraph marks / Nonprinting characters
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to get the LyX buffer to display paragraph marks at the end of each paragraph, but I can't find any settings to this effect. For OpenOffice, it's under View - Nonprinting characters. Google searches return nothing useful. Help please! TIA, Ben
Re: Pilcrows / Paragraph marks / Nonprinting characters
So far as I know, there isn't any setting in LyX itself that does this. Why do you need it? Are the ends of paragraphs not clear? It's very difficult to see when a new paragraph appears adjacent to a display-mode equation. Style Standard EndLabelType Static EndLabelString Unicode Paragraph Marker End This seems only to mark the end of an environment. Adjacent paragraphs belong to the same environment. Thanks for the suggestion. Any more ideas? -Ben

Multiple Language Quotation Problem
I very commonly have a paragraph of quotation in Greek, followed by a paragraph that is the English translation. The problem is that all of the regular English text AFTER the translation then gets printed as Greek when the output is produced. Here is an example. This is what I type in Lyx: This is English: μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος Pretend this is a translation of the Greek. The line below should be English. This should be English. *** The only thing I do in Lyx is type the text, mark the quotations as quotations, and mark the Greek text as Greek. From this, Lyx produces the following code: ** \begin_body \begin_layout Standard This is English: \end_layout \begin_layout Quotation \lang polutonikogreek μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος \end_layout \begin_layout Quotation Pretend this is a translation of the Greek. The line below should be English. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This should be English. \end_layout \end_body ** I don't have this problem when the Greek text is NOT followed by an English translation. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

My problem arises differently, as I have my document set to English, and only the quoted line is set to Greek. And yet ensuing English text (after the English in the quotation) is all rendered as Greek. The problem may be limited to Greek. It arises with modern Greek and polytonic Greek. But I tried a quotation in Russian, and my English text comes out OK. I guess somehow this arises because of the feature that Greek text can be entered via Latin script, but there is still somehow something amiss.

Repeating a multi-line equation
Hi, I'm working on a document that looks like this: Lots of text Multi-line equation #1 More text Multi-line equation #2 More text ... Summary of useful equations: Multi-line equation #1 Multi-line equation #2 Ideally, if I change something, I should only have to change it in one place. One approach would be to use math macros. However, it seems impossible to insert a multi-line AMS environment inside a math macro. Probably a better solution would be to insert a cross-reference which somehow reproduces the original equation. Anyone know of a package that does this? Thanks! -Ben

Problems with the enumeration environment
Hi there!
I'm using Lyx and would like to write a letter with scrlttr2.
Now, as scrlttr2 does not provide the \section and \subsection macros and I'd
like to get headings like this:
1. Heading One
1.1. Subheading
I figured, I use the enumerate function and change the second and third level
to arabic.
So far I have copied the scrlttr2.layout file and inserted the following code
Preamble
\newif\ifletterclosed
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\arabic{enumi}.}
\renewcommand{\labelenumii}{{\arabic{enumi}.}\arabic{enumii}.}
\renewcommand{\labelenumiii}{{\arabic{enumi}.\arabic{enumii}.}\arabic{enumiii}.}
EndPreamble
This works (almost) fine in the output and I get the desired numering (1. 1..1.
and so on).
However, Lyx does not use the arabic numbering but keeps counting the levels as:
1.
(a)
i.
I'd like to change that and I don't have a clue how to do this. Could anybody
please point me in the right direction??
And while we're at at: How do I change the indentation and formatting of the
second and third level in both the output file AND in Lyx? (I'd like NO
indentation at all and would like to use a sans serif type in bold for the
headings).
Thanks a lot!!

Missing Toolbar
Hi, using version 1.5.4 on windows XP. I remember for a few months when I first installed Lyx there was a toolbar with icons that exported pdf, ps etc. But its disappeared and I see nowhere to get it back again. I presume it is a config file somewhere? Thanks, Ben Blamey
Re: Missing Toolbar
view- toolbars isn't there. This is an item on the view menu right? I've got PDF PS etc. Update [the same] Then a separate thing with: Outline, LaTex log, Tex information. But no mention of toolbars.
