about SGML to HTML
Hi guys! Using Options > Reconfigure, LyX can use LinuxDoc class. So I write on it. But when I save the file like LinuxDoc, and write this command: sgml2html filename.sgml It creates some .html files, but doesn't write the TOC, nor crossed references to html class. The original LinuxDoc file has the next lines: Title Author Date 1.Section 2.section etc... Must do I write something else? Regards Dooteo

One option could be:
enter math mode and type \stackrel{
In each of the 2 new boxes, type \stackrel{ and
either the pair "M >" or "< L"
But I guess one package to input similar symbols may exist

error with very long figure legend
I have a long figure legend (44 lines). If I view it as postscript, an error occurs: Dimensions too large text where the error is} I can´t work with sizes bigger than about 19 feet. Apparently the legend is too large. If I cut away the last three lines it works. If I use small size instead of normal for the text, it is still too large. I have to cut now two lines. I guess this is a limitation by latex/tex. Has anybody had this problem already and how to go around with it? Furthermore, the figure has not yet been included. I would like to have the figure on one side (since it is also a large one) and the legend on the right side next to it. Thanks for help, its wonderful to be able to find so much help and competence in this group. Wolfgang Engelmann
Commutative diagrams
Hi,
What package do you recommend to do commutative diagrams?
How should I invoke it (i.e. is it sufficient to call
\usepackage{mypackage} from LaTeX preamble?
Also, do you know which font should be used to get the double-barred
capital letter that are usually used to represents sets such as |R,
the set of the reals, |N, the natural numbers, etc?
Sorry for the questions, but the search engine in the mailing list
archive didn't give me valuable information, though I think I've seen
this questions already answered somewhere.
A 10^6 thanks,

Calligraphic font
My Lyx userguide tells me, that I can invoce the
calligraphic font in math-mode by typing M-z j (not very
intuitive, by the way). However, when trying out this,
nothing happens. It turns out that this binding does not
exist. I wondered whether it might have to do with german
localisation, but even the original menu.bind does not show
the binding. Furthermore, the reference guide does not
contain a function that seems as a candidate for that
binding. Does anybody know a function that invoces
\mathcal{}?
(BTW, writing \mathcal in math-mode works, so it is not
urgent, maybe we just need to adapt the documentation)

I know this, this is the one I'm using today. I think I should reprhase my question: With the combination of Cygwin and XFree86 for Cygwin, running on Windows NT, would it be possible to get the originale LyX, NOT the Win32 port to run in this environment? However, that question becomes academic unless there is a TeX distribution that runs under Cygwin as well. Would it not be fesable that teTeX might run in such an environment? Unfortunatly, I don't have the time right now to sit down and try to compile these things myself. When I do find I spare moment, I will try it. But if someone allready tried this out, I would be very interested in hearing how it worked out. - IT

off-system printing
Hi! I just subscribed to this list and start out with a question that might be off-topic, but anyway. The thing is this, I just love lyx, it's something very needed in using linux (I just started using it, but so far so almost good) but I don't have a printer my self. Currently I'm using my mothers printer (she uses windows) my university printers (they use windows and MacOS) or my other schools printer (they to use windows). Now You might guess my problem. How do I create a pdf/ps-file that I can print in theese environments. I think that the problem is whit my fonts not beeing compatible with the ones on the other systems, but I'm not sure. If this is the case maybe some-one on this list can help me out in configuring my system with windows-compatible-fonts (I really don't need to worry about the MacOS). Maybe I should get information on which printers they use, what do I know? Anyhow, please help me, or demand more info, or something regards, tomas

Now You might guess my problem. How do I create a pdf/ps-file that I can print in theese environments. If your mother's printer or the university printers are Postscript printers, you should be able to save your LyX output as Postscript and run it through any of those printers. Postscript will include in the file any fonts other than the standard ones expected on any device. MS-Windows-generated Postscript is often non-compliant and can cause problems on a Unix or Linux system, but any Postscript printer should be able to handle the dvips output from LyX. The easiest way to print to these printers would be to configure your mother's printer or the university printers as remote network printers for your Linux box. If your mother's printer or the university printers are not Postscript printers, you probably want to write a script using ghostscript to convert the Postscript output of dvips to whatever printer language (probably HP-PCL) the printers require. Ghostscript comes with device drivers for most common printers, especially most varieties of HP printers. Does this help? -- Ronald Florence http://members.home.net/18james

Use lyx' print menu to print your postscript to a file; get the file to the computer you choose to use; use GSview to view and send postscript to your printer.

Well, it looks the same as in GV and LyX on my linuxbox, but that isn't to good. Reading the users manual I found out about Xserversetting and goodlooking in LyX. I didn't get how to measure the real dpi (I'm at school now, so I can't really describe excactly what I mean, but this is quite close I hope). What I managed to do was to change the "font-zoom" from 150 to 160 which makes it look really good.

Elsevier layout
Hi lyxers I am writting an article using the elsart.layout submitted to this list a few months ago. I need to use the bibtex style elsart-harv.bst or elsart-num.bst. So I put them in the directory /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/natbib and I inserted the corresponding bibtex reference in lyx specifying in the style field elsart-num, for instance. The layout is working perfectly but the references doesn't appear, and the usual question mark is showed. If I change the bibtex style the references appear without any problem. I know that Herbert pointed out a problem with natbib and the bst files (http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg06204.html) but I followed the discussion in the mailing list archive and I tried the lyx layout that Herbert posted in the above message and it doesn't work for me. Should I add some special command from the elsart class? Have I missed something important ? What am i doing wrong ? Thanks in advance for your help Oscar

If you have only few diacritics, then it is probably more simple to use ERT. For example u with umlaut you can write as \"u (where \" is marked as latex style). The result is more portable and simpler to write. Therefore, when I needed (only once in a text) write something about grunder period of Czech history, I have written gr\"under period and everything is OK.

announce lyx-1.1.6pre2
The second prerelease of 1.1.6 has been available for some days now, and this time it is also announced here and not just on the developers list. We'd like it a lot if people took the time to test this version, but let me come with a stern warning first: The LyX file format has changed, so you will have problems of going back to a earlier lyx release unless you BACKUP your files. You have been warned. We would especially like testing of: - the new tabular code - the new import/export code - the externalinset code Also general user views are appreciated. >From NEWS: As with all of the 1.1.x versions of LyX, this release contains a lot of new code: in particular, half of the changes described in the ChangeLog (which dates back to the 1.1.0 release) describe changes in LyX 1.1.6! Besides the usual under-the-hood changes, LyX 1.1.6 has many new user-visible features. The main visible feature is that the GUI-independent branch of development has been merged, as well as code from the older development version: - many popups have been rewritten to use the new GUI-I scheme. In the process they have received a nice cleanup: the Document and Paragraph popups now contain in one single place what was previously scattered in many places. Similarly, the citation and cross reference popups have been overhauled. - LyX now has a Preference popup where you can change most of your lyxrc settings [Allan, details?] - the menus can now be defined in a text file, and they automatically display the keyboard bindings associated with commands. - it is now possible to provide your own icons for the toolbar. - last but not least, work has begun on a KDE and a Gnome frontend for LyX. They are not officially supported for this version, but this will give you an idea of what is happening. Other major changes in 1.1.6 include: - the table support has been completely rewritten. It is now a modular object (inset), each cell of which owns a (also) newly written text inset. This now permits automatic text-wrap inside a tabular cell (if you define a width), multiparagraph mode AND setting of layouts for the paragraphs (lists inside a tabular cell!). Last but not least, a wide tabular now scrolls automatically so that all of it is visible without the need to enlarge the window! While there are as yet no other new features, they will be now MUCH easier to add. It may be that because of being "young" code some features may not work right now, but at least it is much better than before. - new external material inset: this is a new kind of very powerful inset which will allow LyX to interface intelligently with external applications. Among other good things, it will finally allow you to include GIF, JPEG, TIF, PNG, or just about any other raster format images in your document. It will even do an approximate ascii rendering when you do Ascii export if you have gifscii installed. - The code which converts from LyX format to anything else (for viewing or exporting purposes) and from anything else to LyX has been rewritten. In particular, it is now possible to export to PDF, and to import from HTML/MSWord. In fact it's now possible to add new import/export formats without recompiling LyX by specifying external programs or scripts in lyxrc settings (note that the old import/export lyxrc settings no longer work). - LyX can do command line exports without opening any GUI components. - The multilingual support has been improved. It is now possible to use in a document languages with different encodings, e.g. German (iso8859-1) and Czech (iso8859-2). Such a document can be viewed on screen using an iso10646-1 (Unicode) font. However, it is (currently) not possible to have differently encoded languages in the same paragraph. The languages and the encodings are defined in text files. - Improved support for Hebrew and Arabic (also present in 1.1.5fix2). - included files work now with docbook and linuxdoc; new layout docbook-book. - PSpell library and Aspell spell checker support now included thanks largely to Kevin Atkinson (PSpell and Aspell maintainer). And finally, there have been a lot of smaller changes, which are mentioned here for your information - the menu entry File->New does not prompt for a file name by default (this can be changed in lyxrc). - new -geometry command line option, which replaces the old -width, -height, etc. Lgb

Conversion utils?
Hi there,
I'm using LyX to write a manual that will eventually be sent to be
professionally printed. However, I need to first convert it to a format
the printer can understand.
What utils are available to convert LyX documents to RTF, SGML, HTML,
Word, etc?
It seems all those I have tried have not been very successful. Either
"not yet supported function" or it simply aborts after not being able to
understand the LyX document.
Are there any conversion utils available? Even the latex2rtf Linux Red
Hat RPM doesn't work:
...
{\*\pnseclvl3\pndec\pnstart1\pnindent720\pnhang{\pntxta .}}
{\*\pnseclvl4\pnlcltr\pnstart1\pnindent720\pnhang{\pntxta .}}
EnGarde-1.0.1.lyx:2: Error! Failed fgetpos; main.c (Convert): errno 29
Additionally, perhaps I misunderstand the relationship between LyX and
latex. There seem to be lyx2* conversion programs which are different
than latex2* conversion programs. Is LyX not just a latex editor,
effectively?
Thanks,
Dave Wreski

After installing the files to /usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/natbib Try the following export as Latex run latex filename bibtex filename latex filename latex filename xdvi filename.dvi if the questionmarks still appear check the following. 1. Did you checkt the read permissions of the bibtex files? 2. Did you run texhash as root after the installation? ( For me elsart-harv.bst stylefile works just fine) The main problem with the elsart layout file(s) are connected with the frontmatter environment. The frontmatter environment differs markedy from standard title page layouts (it is genuinely more rich). Therefore, it might be easiest to write the entire frontpage "as red code", just in case you encounter problems. Hope this helps.

Conversion utils?
[ I apologize if this is a dupe ]
Hi there,
I'm using LyX to write a manual that will eventually be sent to be
professionally printed. However, I need to first convert it to a format
the printer can understand.
What utils are available to convert LyX documents to RTF, SGML, HTML,
Word, etc?
It seems all those I have tried have not been very successful. Either
"not yet supported function" or it simply aborts after not being able to
understand the LyX document.
Are there any conversion utils available? Even the latex2rtf Linux Red
Hat RPM doesn't work:
...
{\*\pnseclvl3\pndec\pnstart1\pnindent720\pnhang{\pntxta .}}
{\*\pnseclvl4\pnlcltr\pnstart1\pnindent720\pnhang{\pntxta .}}
EnGarde-1.0.1.lyx:2: Error! Failed fgetpos; main.c (Convert): errno 29
Additionally, perhaps I misunderstand the relationship between LyX and
latex. There seem to be lyx2* conversion programs which are different
than latex2* conversion programs. Is LyX not just a latex editor,
effectively?
Thanks,
Dave Wreski

A professional printer should understand PostScript. LyX (or rather LaTeX and dvips) produces PostScript. Alternatively you could create PDF either using ps2pdf or PDFLaTeX directly. > What utils are available to convert LyX documents to RTF, SGML, HTML, > Word, etc? Everything that translates LaTeX to those formats. Note that most translations are not one-to-one. I think it is a safe guess to assume that Word will never be able to _edit_ everything that LaTeX creates. Of course you could create bitmaps from the PostScript and include them in Word --- but I doubt that is useful. > Additionally, perhaps I misunderstand the relationship between LyX and > latex. You probably do ;-) > There seem to be lyx2* conversion programs which are different > than latex2* conversion programs. Is LyX not just a latex editor, > effectively? Not really. The .lyx format is different from .tex (just open two corresponding files in your favourite text editor and watch out for differences ;-)). So you can't simply throw tex2* on a .lyx file and expect it to work. You can, of course, convert the .lyx to a .tex file first using LyX itself ( lyx --export tex yourfile.lyx should create yourfile.tex ) Andre' -- André Pönitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE:About SGML to HTML
Hi !
Some little questions 4 you:
Last nigth i insert the ToC in the lyx file, but the sgml conversion only
works if the label is after then name of the sections, like:
,-.
1.- Introduction | sec:Introduction |
`-4
That's when the sgml file has the ToC.
But if it's before than the section name, there isn't (in the sgml file)
ToC. Only something like:
1.-
2.-
2.1.-
2.2.-
3.-
(...) etc.
Without namesU, a little bit extrange, um... : o
Well, I find the solution for this, but i've got some other 'errors', like
the cross references.
*The lyx file has some crossed references, but in the sgml file only appears
the id of them, not the name. One example, making an Introduction section
references, in the sgml file:
{id="sec:Introduction", name=""}
Can LyX put itself the names of the referenced sections in the sgml file?
What should I work it?
Another Question, it's about footnotes. In the sgml file appears the
footnotes that lyx file has. And looks like:
I'm talking about languages<\footnote>
but, when i write this command:
sgml2html somefile.sgml.
the html file resultant hasn't any kind of footnotes. It prints the
footnotes messages like another line, not like a footnote. Some idea? Or is
it making me a joke? ; )
Thanks

export LANG=fr does not work on my suse6.2
hello, lyx users I've got a problem, when trying to get the french language in the menus. like said in the customization file, i export the LANG variable : export LANG=fr i use a suse6.2. Is there another thing to do. I compiled lyx with the nls support like noticed in the customization file. Is anybogy got the problem? I must say that there are other variable under suse LC_LANG LANGUAGE which one should be set?

Re: 1.1.6pre2 problem with Pref. menu
Oops...user error Perhaps replacing one of your users might be the solution :) I don't even use windows *that* much, but its "tab" idiom seems to have crept in to my mind. As for visual clues; the only one I can suggest is perhaps offsetting the top line to emphasize the structure. I suspect in this case though it is simply the case that convention was a little unexpected.
