Hello,

Normally this symbol is provided by the amssymb.sty package and the msb 
math font.


Could you first check in Document Settings>Math Options, the package 
amssymb is set to load automatically?


If this does not help, could you send the exact message that you get?
An short example file to trigger the issue would be very useful too.

The symbol equivalent to tex command \nrightarrow is not compiling.

[Akhilesh Singh]

At present I am using  LyX-2.3.7 for writing a book for Statistics, wherein
I need to use the math symbol equivalent to tex command \nrightarrow. For
example, I need to state the negative form of x -> o. In the display screen
of LyX the required symbol appears correctly, but during pdf compilation
(all forms provided into LyX), does not convert the symbol, and nothing is
printed in the pdf.

It rather gives a warning in the log file that this symbol was never
defined. When I used the tex command as ERT of \nrightarrow, then also it
showed the same error.

Can anybody give any idea to resolve this?.

Thanks in anticipation.

It makes no sense to mark the spaces because it has a different meaning for
MS Word and TeX, e.g. 7 spaces is the same as 1 space for TeX


But LyX is not a TeX source editor. And it can happen in LyX that a 
*single* space is hard to see. It is explained in the enhancement 
request I referenced below. (Furthermore, there are environments, even 
in plain TeX that accept more than one space such as verbatim.)



There is also an enhancement request for spaces:

https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11435

But it hasn't gotten much love yet. You could chime in there with your 
ideas.

Re: Open second LyX window (equivalent to split window)

[Alex Vergara Gil]

Dear developers

Regarding this topic I have an enhancement request: I can do open a new 
window and edit the same article in both windows at the same time but 
for that I must reload the article, why does this is not done 
automatically? This is not trivial for the newcomers and if it hasn't 
see the light here then I wouldn't even know if it is possible at all. 
At least you can add an option or a hint.

Yes. Just open a new window, and re-open the document.

Not a new instance. A new *window*, via FileNew Window. Try it.

Yes, one can edit in two windows the same article without any problem, 
what you say is true, but when you do File - New Window,  LyX just open 
an empty window when it should open the same article in the new window, 
or at least give an option to do that. You must then reopen the article 
in the new empty window to do what we want. This is not a bug, is an 
enhacement request.

Yes, and a very nice option that is. Although I have been using LyX for 
a very long time, I did not notice this feature being added.  I have 
often used a split view to cutpaste details from one part of a document 
to another, but this is IMO much better, in that you don't lose half of 
the space for the document.


Thanks for pointing it out.

Yes, and a very nice option that is. Although I have been using LyX for 
a very long time, I did not notice this feature being added.  I have 
often used a split view to cutpaste details from one part of a document 
to another, but this is IMO much better, in that you don't lose half of 
the space for the document.


Thanks for pointing it out.

Yes. Just open a new window, and re-open the document.

 Yes. Just open a new window, and re-open the document.

That's what I am doing right now - but then I am open to edits in both and 
conflicts when saving.
At the moment I set the background of one LyX instance to red to remind me: DO 
NOT EDIT!

What would help here, is to be able to set one LyX window / instance to 
read-only.

Is this possible?

Not a new instance. A new *window*, via FileNew Window. Try it.

For reference, htlatex was indeed the program I was using for nice Lyx-HTML
conversion in Windows.  I was unable to set it up using Tools - Reconfigure
(after downloading tex2ht, which includes htlatex), but setting it up manually
involved simply copying the Windows configuration:

In Tools - Preferences - File Handling - Converters, add a converter with
these settings:

From format: Latex (plain)
To format: HTML
Converter: htlatex $$i
Extra flag: needaux
Converter file cache: enabled
Maximum age (in days): 180

Also, to make the images larger I modified tex4ht.env (in my Fedora 14 distro,
/usr/share/texmf/tex4ht/base/unix/) and changed the two occurrences of 1400 to
1900 in the two lines

Gdvipng -T tight -x 1400 -D 72 -bg Transparent -pp %%2:%%2 %%1 -o %%3
Gdvipng -T tight -x 1400 -D 72 -bg Transparent -gif -pp %%2:%%2 %%1 -o %%3

These steps produced nice HTML output upon using File - Export - HTML.

latex2html equivalent of Windows HTML export?

[Andrew]

Hi there,

I use Lyx on both Linux and Windows, and I have tried all the HTML export
options, including Elyxer.

I like the Windows HTML export option the best, and I want to be able to produce
HTML on Linux the same as the Windows HTML export does.

I assume the Windows HTML export uses latex2html with a bunch of options.  If
so, does anybody know which options it uses?

Is the Windows export method listed somewhere?

I'm sure if I put a lot of time into customizing latex2html I'd get output
that's on part with Windows export, but the next couple weeks I'm tight on time.

The closest I've been able to come to producing Windows export results with
latex2html still has the following undesirable features:

(1) eqnarray images are not centered
(2) horizontal rules are not produced
(3) quotation marks look clunky like Tex quotes, not nice pretty ones.

Thanks very much in advance!

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean by windows HTML export but I wouldn't 
assume it's latex2html. You can look it up for yourself by firing up LyX 
and going to the menu Tools  Preferences  File Handling  Converters. 
On my windows box I see that the LaTeX to HTML converter is htlatex.


To get the same HTML output on Linux it might be as simple as installing 
htlatex (or whatever converter is set up on your windows box), running 
the configure.py script (Tools  Reconfigure), and restarting LyX.

Problem with the RTF export on Lyx for OSX (need help on installing Latex2rtf or equivalent)

[Mathias GIREL]

Dear Listers
I have trouble using the RTF converter in Lyx (1.6 and 2.0beta3) on OSX Snow 
Leopard. I have a MacTex/Texlive2010 distribution.
I have not been able to find an effective and up to date way to install 
latex2rtf on my system 
Older messages on Forums referred to I-installer or Darwin ports but I have 
also not been able to use this.
I'd be very grateful for any help.
Best regards

What exactly is the problem? latex2rtf is included in MacTex 2010.
Moreover, a latex to rtf file converter preference is already set by
default. So it should just work to select (in LyX-1.6) View  Rich
Text Format. If that's not true, try quitting LyX, moving aside your
user's directory (at ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6) and
restarting LyX to see if any preference settings you have made are
interfering.

Re: Problem with the RTF export on Lyx for OSX (need help on installing Latex2rtf or equivalent)

[Mathias GIREL]

Thanks for the answer!

I did that, but alas to no avail. I have the export to RTF in the File menu, 
but when I try that, even with the standard splash.lyx file, I have the error 
message: 

Une erreur s'est produite lors de l'exécution :
latex2rtf splash.tex.

(Something like: An error occurred while processing)

I have tried to move the user folder. Didn't change the error message.
(The export to opendocument does not work also, but in that case it is 
different: I have an odt output, but Ooo is not able to open it).

I have texlive2010 installed with MacTex. Is there a way to check that 
latex2rtf is actually installed? 

Best

Dear all
I think I have found something. It is a dmg that installs latex2rtf (I think it 
was missing from my distribution). You will find it here.

http://www.tug.org/pipermail/macostex-archives/2010-April/043664.html

I have to experiment on complex files, with bibtex entries and the like, but 
this seems to work smoothly now.
Am I the only one to have experimented such problems? If it is frequent, I'll 
be glad to contribute to the wiki and point to this workaround.

Checking again, I was wrong about latex2rtf being a part of MacTeX, so
you do need to install it some other way. I'm glad it works for you
now.

(By the way, you can check if latex2rtf is installed by opening
Terminal.app and typing which latex2rtf. If it returns a path, then
you have it; if you get nothing back, then you don't.)

Thanks! I have check on my second computer, my macbook, on which I had
not already performed the latex2rtf setup and the terminal command did
not return anything.
So this means that Mac users in general, with MacTeX and Lyx  cannot
in general use the export to rtf command?
Maybe the dmg in the link below should be mirrored in case it is

I did that, but alas to no avail. I have the export to RTF in the File menu, 
but when I try that, even with the standard splash.lyx file, I have the error

I have tried to move the user folder. Didn't change the error message.

pdf equivalent of psbook?

Hi

Does anyone on the list know if there is an equivalent for PDF of psbook?
I use LyX a lot for computer documentation.
For quick references (up to 8 pages), I exportt to PS, then use psbook
piped to psnup.
I would love to use PDF instead.
I've Googled and searched repositories and not found anything (apart
from scripts to convert PDF to and  PS and back.

Is there a text-macros equivalent of math-macros?

[Dominik Böhm]

Hello,

I was wondering if one can also use macros for some text things. For
example, I would like to use macros for abbreviations. In German the
abbreviation of zum Beispiel is z.B. with a small space between
z. and B.. I realized it by putting
\newcommand{\realAbkzB}{z.\,B.} into the preamble and adding a
math-macro \abkzB that calles the \realAbkzB-command. In the .lyx-file
it looks like this:

\begin_inset FormulaMacro
\newcommand{\abkzB}{\mbox{\realAbkzB }}
{\mbox{z.\, B.}}
\end_inset

When I want to include z.B. in my document, I have to press Ctrl+m
and enter \abkzB. That works, but I have got to switch to math-mode
and in the macro I use an mbox to get back to normal text.

Is there any more convenient solution for such problems in LyX or is
the macro-feature a math-only thing?

Dominik

Currently, there is unfortunately no text-macro available. 

However, if I understand it right lyx 1.6 will come with support in form
of user-configurable text-styles that can be embedded in the document.

I am not quite sure whether you can already define a text style
in a layout file with 1.5.


OTOH, you can get the \zB a bit simpler:

M-x math-macro abkzB

and in the math Box:

   Strg-m (text in math)
   z.
   Strg-Shift-Space  (small space)
   B.
   

 When I want to include z.B. in my document, I have to press Ctrl+m
 and enter \abkzB. 

You can even define a keybinding for this.

Nope, that doesn't work, as LyX generates $\mbox{z.\, B.}$ (note the
space after \,). That makes the space not a half but a one and a half
space. I think, putting it into a separate command into the preamble
is the only way.

   When I want to include z.B. in my document, I have to press Ctrl+m
   and enter \abkzB.

That's right, but it's still not the way I would do it using plain LaTeX.

This will be possible in the next major lyX release lyX 1.6.0.

For now you have to define new commands using the ERT or the document preamble. The math manaul 
explains how to do this (this method is relevant for all document parts, also text stuff).

There are enhancement requests about this. It'd be great to have it.

Of course, you can always use ERT for this, and you can bind the whole

Strg-Shift-Space  (small space)
B.

Nope, that doesn't work, as LyX generates $\mbox{z.\, B.}$ (note the
space after \,). That makes the space not a half but a one and a half
space. I think, putting it into a separate command into the preamble
is the only way.

   When I want to include z.B. in my document, I have to press Ctrl+m
   and enter \abkzB.

  You can even define a keybinding for this.

That's right, but it's still not the way I would do it using plain LaTeX.

This will be possible in the next major lyX release lyX 1.6.0.

For now you have to define new commands using the ERT or the document preamble. The math manaul 
explains how to do this (this method is relevant for all document parts, also text stuff).

Of course, you can always use ERT for this, and you can bind the whole

Is there a text-macros equivalent of math-macros?

[Dominik Böhm]

Hello,

I was wondering if one can also use macros for some text things. For
example, I would like to use macros for abbreviations. In German the
abbreviation of "zum Beispiel" is "z.B." with a small space between
"z." and "B.". I realized it by putting
"\newcommand{\realAbkzB}{z.\,B.}" into the preamble and adding a
math-macro \abkzB that calles the \realAbkzB-command. In the .lyx-file
it looks like this:

\begin_inset FormulaMacro
\newcommand{\abkzB}{\mbox{\realAbkzB }}
{\mbox{z.\, B.}}
\end_inset

When I want to include "z.B." in my document, I have to press Ctrl+m
and enter "\abkzB". That works, but I have got to switch to math-mode
and in the macro I use an mbox to get back to normal text.

Is there any more convenient solution for such problems in LyX or is
the macro-feature a math-only thing?

Currently, there is unfortunately no text-macro available. 

However, if I understand it right lyx 1.6 will come with support in form
of user-configurable text-styles that can be embedded in the document.

I am not quite sure whether you can already define a text style
in a layout file with 1.5.


OTOH, you can get the \zB a bit simpler:

M-x math-macro abkzB

and in the math Box:

   Strg-m (text in math)
   z.
   Strg-Shift-Space  (small space)
   B.

LyX has user-designable styles, but AFAIK only for ordinary text.  This 
is in part a LaTeX limitation: LaTeX formats headings differently than 
regular text.


To address your specific example, you can load the sectsty package in 
the preamble and use the macros it provides (such as 
\allsectionsfont{...}) to change the font for section headings.  I 
believe you can also accomplish this with the titlesec package.  Note 
that changes you make with either of these will not be reflected in the 
GUI, only in the final output.
