Re: LyZ: lyxpipe changes in 2.0?

2010-12-07 Thread Justin Wood
I just tested this in LyX 2.0 beta 2 on OS X and it worked fine — after I changed the LyX pipe path (back) to ~/.lyxpipe, which is the default LyZ setting. You could change LyZ alternatively of course. Point being I think it's simply down to the pipe file path matching correctly. 2010/12/6 > --

My Lyx installation has suddenly decided that it won't run biber anymore, even though it is properly indicated in the preferences pane, biber is accessible from the command line etc. In fact, I can export the file to .tex and compile from the command line. But I cannot get biber to run from within

Thank you Darren. The first version works perfectly to give what I expect to see for endnotes. The only addition I made was to add "\wide" before and "\endwide" after "\printpagenotes*". That allowed the endnotes to use the full width of text+notemargin. Incidentally, why the asterisk? With or wit

I suggest the following: 1. Check that ImageMagick's bin directory is on your system path. A quick way to do that is to run 'convert -version' in a DOS window. DOS cannot find the convert utility, either IM is not installed or it is not on the command path. (I think Windows has a convert.exe p

George, The LyX endnote module uses the LaTeX endnote package, and so it would require some LaTeX hacking to change things much I think. Memoir has its own commands to put notes at the end(it calls them pagenotes so as not to conflict with the endnotes package). The memoir commands are not th

How to use short dashes in program listings?

2010-12-07 Thread Nikos Chantziaras
When inserting a program listing, all "-" characters in the source code are converted to long dashes. This results in the C operator "--" looking more like a single long line rather than two dashes. (There is some space between each dash, but it's so small it only becomes obvious when zooming
