Subject: Re: new prerelease lyx-1.0.4pre4
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.3.96.990803165857.25231D-100000@kacmoody>
I have just downloaded and built lyx-1.0.4pre4. Four comments so far:
1) As I use RedHat 6.0 I build an rpm for it. I noticed that, comtrary to
lyx 1.0.3, there is now no longer any stuff installed in
/usr/share/locale/. Is this correct?
2) I tried the DocBook support and found a problem with the <author> tag.
According to the docbook DTD you are not allowed to have text directly
inside the author tag. Allowed entities are (amongst others)
<firstname>, <othername>, <surname>
These then contain the actual text for the name. Lyx creates a single
<author> tag with the full name inside.
3) I used the docbook support from the Cygnus Sourceware. Rpms for that
are available from RedHat Software Labs (these actually work with RH6.0)
and include:
nsgml
jade
jadetex
stylesheets -- the stylesheets for the dvi and HTML backends
psgml -- sgml emacs mode
When I use lyx on a docbook article to create a dvi preview I get an
error: It calls "sgmltools" on the .sgml file instead of nsgml or db2dvi.
Is this still left over from linuxdoc?
4) Without any documentation on Lyx's docbook support, a sample document
or template it is difficult to know which features are supported and
should be tested. Some more info would be appreciated.
I'll do some more testing later.
All the best,
Horst Kausch
