Include files in .bind files?
Hi all, Is there a way to put something like a #include inside a bind file? Thanks SteveT

Re: include files and the converter process

include files and the converter process
Hi all, One last question for the evening and then quiet and peace, again. :-) I followed the instructions for including another Lyx file in my document and this worked fine except for one thing: I am using a wrapper script between the LaTeX and the dvi output to add index tags and this is not working on the included file. It seems to me that Lyx should do this: merge files - run my convertor script (which then calls latex) And that this should work, but maybe I've done something wrong? Adding an Idx by hand works fine; if this won't work, is there a way in LaTeX to issue a command to escape to shell and run this script (or an exec function)? -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tiros-Translations

Re: Include files
The fact that the drive letter (and colon) appear twice is also quite odd. Is the trailing part of the path (public.gmane.org) really part of the path to the target file? It's also odd that the path would start in the temporary buffer directory -- if you use Insert - Include File, even pointing to a file in another directory, I don't think LyX copies the file to the temp directory. Can you post the full error message, plus the correct path to the target? The path to the target is c:\lyxfiles\thesis\ch3.lyx The full error message is -- Error: Cannot open file: C:/lyx/tmp/lyx_tmpdir3780a04072/lyx_tmpbuf0/c:/lyxfiles/thesis/ch3.tex Invalid arguement -- Are you finding the target by browsing, or typing in the path directly?

No, this is normal, because the ch3.tex file is generated by LyX in

Note that it is better in general to input the file names as relative

c:\lyxfiles\thesis\ch3.lyx
just include "ch3.lyx" in thesis.lyx.

Include files
Hi I am using the Include file tool and wondered whether it was possible to include files that are not in the same directory as the Main file. At present i can only get it to work if all the files are in the same directory. Anyone know a work around for this Geoff

Older 1.3 releases had a bug, but it is fixed at least in 1.3.5. Please describe the problem more detailed if it does not work for you with LyX 1.3.5. Georg

How do I separate a book manuscript into different include files? I should have done it from the very begin, but I didnt. After having included many figures it became difficult to handle the fine tuning of figure sizes, figure positions, etc since it takes quite some time to reload the dvi preview What is the best way to do it in the present stage? Example as it is now: Title, Table of contents, list of figures, list of tables and Introduction chapter 1 chapter 2 . . . . chapter 19 in one file I want it in file 1 `Introduction with include file (chapter 1) include file (chapter 2) . . . . include file (chapter 19) and create files to be included as e-introduction.lyx e-chapter1.lyx . . . e-chapter19.lyx how do I create those files from the existing file containing the whole book especially: how do I keep the document class, style etc, that is, should I first create template files with these requirements, and paste the different chapter contents into it? Will the book-chapter structure be kept? Is there a better method than cut and paste the chapters? I guess the references are taken care of allright. Before experimenting I thought somebody has experience and could give me a quick advice. I would appreciate it. Wolfgang Engelmann
