Fine. Then there is no LyX problem and your TeX installation is OK, too.

Yes.

It simply looks like pgf is not using [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please file this as a
bug
to the author of pgf. IMHO all LaTeX packages that include some external
stuff should honour [EMAIL PROTECTED] And if it does not use it it should be
documented.
The documentation says that "\includegraphics is designed better than
pgfbaseimage", but some examplkes of the advantages would be nice.

Convert XML to LYX
Hello, Apologies by my poor English. I have a xml file as following: Instruction 1 Daniel 29 - 07 - 2005 bla bla bla bla . 1.- bla bla bla 2.- bla bla bla 3.- bla bla bla ... [1] . [2] . And I would convert this file to a lyx file. The lyx file should be something as following: ... ... \layout Title Instruction 1 \layout Author Daniel \layout Date 29 - 07 - 2005 \layout Section Objective \layout Standard bla bla bla bla . ... ... Somebody can tell me some clue to do this conversion. Thanks. Daniel.

Use one of the python XML parsers for reading (see http://docs.python.org/lib/markup.html) and the LyX.py class from lyx2lyx for writing the .lyx file. You still need to do some work by hand, but LyX.py knows about some things, e.g. the header. Georg
Safe to exchange Lyx documents between Mac and Linux/PC?

Hello Jane, Thanks for porting this patch. At the end of the wiki page, in the section ``Downgrading 1.4 files to 1.3 files with change tracking enabled'', Jose' describes how to patch lyx2lyx so that LyX 1.4 files with change tracking can be read in LyX 1.3.6 with the patch applied. We decided not to apply this change for official lyx 1.3.6 for obvious reasons, but I think you should add that to your patch. JMarc
LyX 1.3.6 uninstaller wipes out everything
Dear LyX-users, I have just installed the new LyX 1.3.6 on WinXP. Due to my playing around with it, i had to reinstall it. I have a habbit to uninstall the old version first. The thing is, when I installed Perl, Image Magick and the rest, I put everything under C:/LyX/ so that each programme path is something like: C:/LyX/Perl C:/LyX/ghostscipt and etc. The problem comes when i only want to uninstall LyX, but not the rest. The uninstaller that comes with LyX1.3.6 just deletes everything in that folder... :( Which means I have to do everything from scratch again (except MiKTeX which I put in a different folder as C:/MikTeX. Maybe it is good to give a warning on the Lyx website to warn people about the function of this lyx uninstaller? Thanks to everybody who have worked hard on developing LyX. I'm trying to 'convert' those Word$ users to LyX for many years now... haha! Sorry about the repetitive use of 'install' and 'uninstall'... Maybe I need another cup of coffee... :P.

--- Begin Message --- Recent Linux distributions (e.g. SuSE 9.1 +, Redhat 8+) have good utilities for processing XSLT. XSLT is the W3C standard for transforming XML into other formats.

tex2lyx Mac undefined symbols
Hello, I downloaded tex2lyx_MacOSX_21Jul05.zip which expanded to a directory LyX which I then moved to /Applications (there wasnt any installation package or Makefile so I assumed this was all that was necessary with this precompiled binary). When I run tex2lyx from the command line, I get undefined references to symbols it expects to find in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib: dyld: tex2lyx Undefined symbols: tex2lyx undefined reference to _btowc expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib tex2lyx undefined reference to _iswctype expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib tex2lyx undefined reference to _mbsrtowcs expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib tex2lyx undefined reference to _towlower expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib tex2lyx undefined reference to _towupper expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib tex2lyx undefined reference to _wcscoll expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib tex2lyx undefined reference to _wcsftime expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib tex2lyx undefined reference to _wcslen expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib tex2lyx undefined reference to _wcsrtombs expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib tex2lyx undefined reference to _wcsxfrm expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib tex2lyx undefined reference to Trace/BPT trap Then tex2lyx crashes. I thought maybe there were some libraries which were installed but not linked so I added some directories to the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, but it didnt change anything. I am running 10.2.8. Any ideas? Thanks Saul Gelfand
