Insert a paragraph with 'date' layout and put '{}' in a TeX box in there

Hmm.. I agree that question is more frequent at the moment, but 'get rid

When you change the layout from the toolbar, you should see the

I have CUPS as the system printer, set up with KDE 3.1.4 Printing Manager as

How are you printer-related preference set? You could maybe send you

AFAIK, it's the 'mini-buffer'. There's a little bit of information related

Curious.  In Edit | Preferences | Converters, what program is being used to 
convert EPS to PDF (probably either convert or epstopdf)?  I find that 
convert works on my system (give or take some scaling issues) but epstopdf 
fails.

You mean show it inside the LyX document?  Don't know, can't test it here 
(something goes wrong with the creation of a temp script).  You can try 
adding a converter from PDF to PNG.  Assuming you have ImageMagick 
installed, the command line should be "convert $$i $$o" (without the 
quotes).

I have found that a wrapper script that first cleans up your eps file 
using eps2eps (epstoeps?) and then invokes epstopdf with the 
cleaned-up file works beautifully.

What I find perverse is that both scripts are part of the same 
ghostscript distribution, yet epstopdf is so much more fragile than 
eps2eps.

Go figure.

The CompatibilityLevel option of gs may helt to make it more robust.

I found even a case where eps2eps failed
and importing and rexporting in xfig (which can be easily
included in a wrapper calling fig2dev on a template fig file)
was the only way out to get the BoundingBox changes work.

Forget convert to manage eps, AFAIU it will produce bitmap eps,
which is bad but for pictures.

Spellchecker and LyX-Code

2004-02-11 Thread Iain Mac Donald 
Hello LyXers,

I use LyX for producing a lot of large documents with substantial
amounts of code and scripts. They all come out looking wonderful and are
easy to produce. Great so far.

There is one thing which would make life easier though - being able to
configure the spellchecker to ignore all the sections of LyX-Code. I do
not see a way to do it using the preferences. I have Googled and even
read the manual but haven't found anything. I did notice that if you use
pspell you can spell check in different languages. Is this a clue?

If this is not possible please consider this as a feature request.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. I don't think my left
mouse button can hold out much longer :-)

Regards,
Iain.

Page number on first page

How can I make a cover page so that the page numbering starts at 2 on the second page,

it have a page number on the first page?

Re: Page number on first page

2004-02-11 Thread Vaclav Smidl 
It depends what you want to write. You should specify your Document class:
Menu: Layout > Document > Document class

For "article", the first page is usually numbered.
For "report", the first page is not numbered (if you have assigned title 
already). The second one starts from "1", which is usually OK.

If you really want the second one to start with "2" write in ERT (Ctrl-L),
\setcounter{page}{2}

It's working now!

As Les suggested, I just needed to go into 
Edit->Preferences->Outputs->Printer and use lp for printer name, dvips for 
command (already set), and kprinter for spool command.  

As Jean-Marc said earlier, I did not have to modify printcap.  I went back to 
my original printcap entry for lp (removed the separate entry for a post 
script printer with ps.filter) and it worked.  

Thanks everyone!

Cannot make layout/class visible

2004-02-11 Thread Rich Shepard 
  I want to add the svmono.cls to LyX-1.3.3Qt on my notebook so I can work
on my book on that machine as well as on my workstation. So I copied
/usr/share/lyx/layouts/book.layout to svmono.layout (in the same directory,
and modifying the document class line). Then I copied svmon.cls to
/usr/share/lyx/tex/.

  Ran texhash. Within LyX, ran Edit->Reconfigure, exited the application and
started it again. No 'svmono' document type available on the list of
document types.

  What have I missed this time?

Thanks,

Rich

"Preface" on header

  The Preface for my book is before the table of contents. It is 3 pages
long. The headers on pages 2 and 3 are blank, I presume because the Preface
is an unnumbered chapter.

  How do I place the chapter name, "Preface", in the header?

Ragged right. Please?

2004-02-11 Thread Paul Johnson 
I want to have documents print out left justified, without justification 
on the right.  I don't want hyphenation of words either.  Everything 
else about the basic LyX document suits me perfectly.

If I choose the paragraph layout, i can left justify a paragraph, EXCEPT 
then the indentation of the first line is lost. And I don't want that. 

The Lyx Tips and Tricks document has a listing Raggedright under R, but 
when I click on it, it does not lead me anywhere. In other words, I 
tried and can't figure which end is up.

Windows Lyx -> Creating PDF files

2004-02-11 Thread brkelly 

I've recently installed Lyx on Windows. I can view DVI files but not PDF files.
The lyxrc file is set up correctly (meaning that all of the paths to Acrobat
have been correclty specified), but when I try  View>PDF(pdflatex), Acrobat says
'There was an error opening this document. The file does not exist'. Checking
out the tmp directory shows that something is happening - some proto-pdf files
have been created, but not a finalised one.

Any ideas?
