Hello all,
I've just discovered lyx and joined the list.
I like lyx, but have no particular interest in tex. I do need
to produce SGML, HTML and PDF (at least) documentation.
I had been using troff and the -me macro package, just because
of familiarity (I actually ran a commercial database typesetting
business in the early '80's using troff), but now have to share
docs with other people. It's easier to point them to lyx. Also,
I hadn't figured out yet how to do PDF bookmarks in that environment.
But I'm having a couple of problems:
(1) I've tried the linuxdoc and docbook templates, but have been
unable to successfully include pictures.
I can include them and see them on the screen, but they're
absent in the "View DVI" or "View PS".
That is, I go:
File/New from Template
name file
choose template "docbook_template.lyx"
insert figure (for instance, platypus clipart) at end
view DVI
Also, I get a bunch of error output to the console (see attached
file lyx.log).
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but don't know what.
I can see the figures if I start with just a new document (not
a docbook or linuxdoc).
(2) Also, I'd like to produce PDF output, with bookmarks automatically
produced from my links and headings. How do I do this?
I have tetex, sgmltools, and the 1.14 (patch 2) version of Lyx running
on Redhat Linux 6.1 (2.3.42 kernel).
Thanks in advance...
