By the way, I have noticed in 1.2.1 (and 1.2.0) some problems with the choice
"bottom". When I choose "top", latex more or less works (depends on the number of
floats) but when  choose "bottom", latex seems to fail and all my figures go at
the end of the chapter.

Also, how can the order be set in the present dialog box. I'm no latex expert, but
isn't there a difference between "tb" and "bt"?

Olivier.

No. The order does not matter.

Although this is not clear from the docs, reading the source shows that
the order does not matter. Strange but true.

Mathematica, notebook2e etc

[Rod Pinna]

Hi all,

I have a long equation that I was hoping to include in a lyx file,
generate from mathematica.

Essentially, I was going to insert it as ERT. Which is fine, except that
including notebook2e.sty in the preamble seems to conflict with something
else. I'm guessing it is the ams stuff. Just hoping someone could make a
suggestion about how to go about this, before I start removing packages.

Thanks,
Rod

notebook2e

[Rod Pinna]

Just as a followup...deleting everything else out of the preamble results
in an error

\Vec already defined

...athAccetn{\Vec}{\mathord}{letters}{'202}

which doesn't mean anything to me.

A minimal document, with the equation I'm after, does compile from the
command line.

...

Actually, I think I found it...the amsmath package needs to come after
notebook2e.sty

Is that possible?

Question about minipage

[Pascal Francq]

Hi,
I want that a series of paragraph have a smaller length that the default 
"\linewidth" and are center. So I create a minipage environment to do so. The 
problem is that the minipage are handle as float, i.e. if the content of the 
minipage is to important to be put at the end of a page, the whole content is 
put at the beginning of the next page. I want that LyX (or LaTeX) splits it 
automatically to fill the end of the page first and then put the rest of the 
paragraphs on the next page. An idea?

I guess this is some swedish standard ?  Accordingly to page:
http://publications.uu.se/helpdesk/faq/
it is 164x242mm. You could try to use a regular report class and use custom 
page size. If this s5report has something special you have to make a layout, 
look in chapter 6 in the (Help-->)Customization document.

Re: Citations showing as (?), a possible solution?

[David Norris]

Rob,

I've looked at Endnote, and an easier solution is probably to create 
your own export filter, based on Endnotes. You can go to /endnote/styles 
and copy their bibtex export filter to my bibtex export filter and then 
edit it using the style manager in endnote to remove any fields that 
give you problems.

Best wishes,

David

Dear list.

This may be useful users of Lyx operating under Windows and/or those

Having exported a bib file from Endnote and after opening and re-saving
with TKbibtex I found that citations in the dvi/pdf showed as (?)

However, a second manually created bib fie worked fine in the same
document with all refs showing correctly.

The exported bib file held keyword, note and abstract details and once
these had been removed from the file everything worked fine.

The exported bib file was only small and removing offending items not a
problem. However for a larger bib file this may take time.

So, I have knocked together a vb6 program that removes such headings +
contents from the bib file leaving a file that works ok.

If any one is interested I can email a full setup copy (1.4Mb) to them
or if they have vb6 then just the source code (37kb)

1.1 to 1.2.3

[Ernesto Jardim]

Hi

I have a file writen in LyX 1.1.0 and now I'm working in LyX 1.2.3. When
I open the old file my tables appear in LaTeX code, of course they're
still tables and I'm able to produce a nice ps file, but I'm not able to
use the LyX facilities to format then.

Is there a way around this ?

Thanks

Then you can't use minipages. 

Have you tried

ERT[ {\leftskip=3cm\rigthskip=3cm ]
your text
ERT[ } ]

?

Yeah, most likely it is some standard printing size for
booklets/reports that printers (those who make books, etc) in
Sweden use.

So if I set the page size margins and stuff will be adjusted so it
looks TeX nice?

LyX2XXX with math???

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

I am still using LyX 1.1.6fix.

For some time I am looking for converts 
LaTeX2XXX with math, where XXX should be some format which a word
processor such as OO (preferred) can read.

Curiously enough, the other direction XXX2latex, seems easier, there
is Word2tex, writer2latex.

There is latex2rtf, but for documents with math, it never really worked.

Usually it is said that latex is to complex, since it can have plain
tex commands and a lot of user defined macros.

So lyx2XXX came into my mind. Are there any plans to have something
included anytime soon,

XXX could be either rtf or some xml format, I don't know whether
docbook, includes math, but may be it will be supported by OO.

Since I could not find anything on this issue in the web page, I ask
it here.

Thanks

Uwe Brauer

We write something similar to MathML when exporting to docbook.  But the
support is rather sketchy right now.

You could help the process by e.g.  filling in the MathML's entity names
for LaTeX symbols listed in lib/symbols ;-)

use the quotation or quote-environment from the

then use package nonfloat.sty, too.

I'm writing my thesis, and I've set the size after measuring the size 
of our thesis. I came up with 138x238 mm, but just now I tried searching 
for S5-format and found several sizes:  170x240, 165x238, 170x238

Does anybody know what the actual size really is? (I have a hard time 
believing the S5-format varies...).

There is sometimes a difference between what is measures of the
sheet to be printed and printing layout (because in commercial
printing there is some space resereved for cutting, binding,
trimming paper etc.), so the official size of A4 is either
215x305 mm (untrimmed) or 210x297 (trimmed; which is the size of
the sheet of paper you usually buy in a store). For more info see
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html .

But, why are you setting paper-width and height in the preamble.tex?

I can then include the preamble-file in other documents and get all the 
correct settings in one go... this is useful when I only want to print a 
part of my thesis, or perhaps only a chapter. (the parts and chapters are

That makes sense and could explain two of the sizes... but I've found 
lots of them... (there was also the sizes 165x240, 165x242 and 168x236)

btw, I'd made a type above, the size I'm using is 168x238. I guess that's 
very close to 168x236, which matches the follwing quote:

"Doctoral and licenciate theses are printed in S5 format (trimmed 
size ca. 168x236 mm). The stylesheets have been designed to take 
this into account."

However, this is for a Word style sheet, but a lot of the other sizes were 
also reported for Word style sheets...

I managed to track down a s5report.cls that has been in
circulation at my department. Most people seem to write their
thesis in FrameMaker here otherwise. This is an excerpt:

\DeclareOption{s5paper}
   {\setlength\paperheight {240mm}%
\setlength\paperwidth  {165mm}}

I guess that means that is the trimmed paper size that I should
enter into LyX? It does not seem to be the same as what your quote
says. I wonder if someone actually has the "truth" and can give us
"facts".

I asked the search engine at www.tug.org about captions. The packages at 
macros/contrib/supported/nonfloat and macros/contrib/supported/ccaption both have the 
capability to insert captions outside of a float. At worst, you have to insert them 
using ERT.

no, you can define your own LyX paragraph layout
called NonFloatCaption. This one inserts the
\usepackage{nonfloat} into the preamble and
the \figcaption{...} into the exported LaTeX
output. You do not need any ERT!

There is also tex2word, the companion to word2tex.  See:

This has worked pretty well for me, but a little "fine tuning" of the output
word document is generally required.

This requires MS Word however, and I am pretty sure would not work with

table numbering and space after \textcelsius

[Kirk R. Wythers]

I've got a couple of questions that I haven't been able to resolve on
either the list archive or Herbert's page. I'm using lyx 1.2.1 on a bsd
system. 

1) There are several instances where I have inserted the degree
centegrade symbol with the textcomp package. In each case there is a
single space after the "tex code"\textcelsius, however, upon printing
the space after the symbol appears lost (i.e. the degreeC symbol runs
right into the next word). And of course I can't type a second space in
between. 

2) I have 5 regular tables placed in floats, and named with labeled so
that I can insert cross references in to the document. However, when I
print (or view dvi) my tables get numbered 1,3,5,6,7, not 1,2,3,4,5.
What up with that? I also have 3 figures, but they are numbered
correctly 1,2,3.,

Any help would be most appreciated,

Kirk

ps... Here is my preamble:

\date{}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{lscape} %

Use  '\textcelsius{}' in ERT.

I'm leaning towards that the trimmed S5 size is about 168x236mm, since 
I actually measured the size as 168x238, and the extra 2mm in page 
width might well be because of the binding. (It was also difficult in 
general to measure the width of a page without ripping it out of the 
thesis).

According to the degree project coordinator S5 is supposed to be
81% of A4.

210x297 -> 81% -> 170.1x240.57

Also seems very weird.

Sigh... at another department I found this:

where they say that a thesis is normally printed on the page format

G5, 240mm x 170mm

(I don't think it's a typo... they use G5 in two places)

They are also talking about a latex class for the report, in case you're

It may not have anything to do with FoilTeX.  I've noticed in LyX 1.2.3 
that typing the LaTeX font commands in math mode (either typing \mathtt
{...} directly or hitting the TeX/ERT button and then typing mathtt{...}) 
does not work -- your LaTeX file ends up with the braces but not with the 
command itself.  However, you can do the desired font switches by 
selecting the target characters and either using the font button on the 
math editor panel or using the corresponding key combination (such as M-c 
p in lieu of \mathtt).  This is true in all classes that I've tried.

Don't forget to bring a ruler and actually measure the paper...

At least I just learned something useful: How to put crop marks on the 
printout, so that you can cut the page and make it smaller, see

http://ev-en.org/wiki/moin.cgi/LyxFAQ#line186

where I put the text.

And I've also found that both G5 and S5 seems to be standard formats...

http://www.books-on-demand.com/handbok/bokens_format.htm

they write that G5, 169x239 mm, for educational stuff,
and "Statsformat", 165x242 mm, for thesis, reports and public

Statsformat is for non-Swedish readers, "government format".

That's the proper place for an authoritative answer.

Belike the inconsistencies observed are caused by differences in stock
material/size, folding, binding and imposition.

Hopefully... just for fun I read some more at that site. This page was 
kind of interesting:

http://www.books-on-demand.com/Kalkyl.asp

you can enter how many pages of b/w and pages of color, and then get a 
price. I wonder how much our university charges. Here's an example:

150 pages b/w   => about 150 Eur + 8.5 Eur/book + freight
200 pages b/w   => about 180 Eur + 10.7 Eur/book + freight

It is also fun that they offer to "stock" it for you and sell it to 
people, i.e. the buyer order it from them and pay them etc.
Then the author (i.e. you) get payed quarterly :-)
In this case they add about 1 Eur/book to cover their costs.

Which printer do you have ? Which operating system ?
How did you create the EPS files ?

It doesn't matter.

Both notebook2e.sty and amsmath tries to define a \Vec command...

No, but you can put
 \let\Vec=\undefined
in the preamble.

Re: Figure number in section heading

[Paul Medwell]

I don't mean this to be a big issue - I'm quite happy to use the command 
in the pre-amble.

For your information, I have attached an example file that doesn't work 
on my machine with the label in upper-case.

Perhaps it is because I am only using LyX 1.2.1?

Thanks for your interest in this problem.

Cheers,
Paul

Changing the label to upper case should work.

Thanks very much. The root of the problem is that notebook2e.sty loads
wrisym.sty, which uses the mathematica fonts for maths. Since I'd prefer
not to use them, I've gone through and deleted the reference in notebook2e
to that. Seems to work OK, though I imagine that if I used some of
mathematica more curly notation, I might have a problem.

Re: maths fonts in FoilTex

[David Norris]

Dear Paul,

Yes it works, many thanks. My upcoming set of lecture notes was the 
first thing I had written Lyx 1.2.3 and my first time with FoilTex. I 
got used to entering \mathtt etc by hand in Lyx 1.1 and as I got the 
brackets I never suspect Lyx further.

Best wishes,

David

Dear All,

I'm using the slides(foiltex) environment in Lyx. It seems to ignore

my commands \mathtt \mathbf \mathrm 

Does anyone have any solutions?

Many thanks,

It may not have anything to do with FoilTeX.  I've noticed in LyX 1.2.3 
that typing the LaTeX font commands in math mode (either typing \mathtt
{...} directly or hitting the TeX/ERT button and then typing mathtt{...}) 
does not work -- your LaTeX file ends up with the braces but not with the 
command itself.  However, you can do the desired font switches by 
selecting the target characters and either using the font button on the 
math editor panel or using the corresponding key combination (such as M-c 
p in lieu of \mathtt).  This is true in all classes that I've tried.
