Hi-
If I try to import the new OSAmtg.tex template into Lyx
(to make an abstract for the meetings next year), Relyx
will exit with a fatal error. I use version 1.04. The
special OSAmeet.sty file was downloaded into the same
directory as OSAmtg.tex, if this is a relevant issue.
Ordinary Latex is not troubled with these files.
Here is the message:
reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator. Revision date 1999/05/02
Reading LaTeX command syntax
(OSAmtg.tex: Splitting Preamble
Creating LyX preamble
Reading layout file
Cleaning... Translating... Can't call method "print" in empty package
"print" at /usr/local/lyx/bin/../share/lyx/reLyX/BasicLyX.pm line 875,
<TeXOpenFile0003> chunk 254.
Exited due to fatal Error!
I also have the following `feature' requests:
(1) If you have a citation label like {a_b} in a Latex file, Relyx will
occasionally change it to {a_{b}}. But this is not done consistently,
so the result is a broken citation. Really, Relyx should not change
the labels, as they are not syntax.
(2) If you import/export/import/export Latex (for example, to exchange
files with
nonLyxers), then you often build up a lot of unwanted frontmatter.
Eventually
this breaks the Latex compiler. It would be nice if repeated
import/export would
reach an unchanging, steady state!
(3) I find that the convention where typing a space in front of an
equation pops
you into math-mode, is quite unsettling - I usually finish up typing
things in the
equation rather than before it. I would prefer if a cursor movement was
required to
get into or out of math mode, while editing.
(4) You can't select text at all inside fractions, brackets, and square
roots. This is
somewhat frustrating, especially if you have built some fancy symbol in
there, that you want
to reuse elsewhere in the document! Similar problems occur with
text-selection in eqnarrays,
especially with a fraction on the left side.
(5) You can't find/replace symbols in math mode. So, you must
export/import the Latex - but
this often results in Latex errors, as the exported Latex doesn't always
compile. Repeated
export/import is a noisy business, often resulting in corrupted Latex -
see (1), (2). It
would be useful to have math find/replace.
(6) I want to lend my support for those trying to get cut/paste across
multiple Lyx
windows, open simultaneously. This would be very useful - for example,
the editor Nedit
has this feature. It is very handy when trying to handle text in large
documents
like books, or extended technical reports.
Thanks guys - for the terrific program! As you can tell, I use it a lot.
However, it
needs a little fine-tuning before it equals the equation editor in
Scientific Word,
according to my Windows friends. Yes, you can be friends across those OS
boundaries -
but, will WG serve time for his crime?
yours, Peter Drummond.
