Parts and Sections numbering

[Matt Williams]

Dear List,

A (hopefully) simple question:

Using Lyx, how do "re-start" the numbering of sections for different
parts?

viz:

Part 1:
Secn 1
Secn 2
Secn 3

Part 2:
Secn 1
Secn 2

Part 3:
Secn 1
Secn 2

Thanks for your help,

Matt

This is a known shortcomming of LyX, see
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1476.

The workaround is to make a copy of the .layout file that contains the
definitions of these environments and translate the label.

dvips option added by LyX

[Mael Hilléreau]

  Hi,

  I would like to know why LyX adds a '-t letter' option to dvips 
command when converting from DVI to PostScript and if there's a way to 
avoïd that.


This is a problem for me since it has the undesirable effect of changing 
paper orientation from landscape to portrait in the PostScript file.


Note that this option is added even if not it is not present in the 
'Preferences>Converters>DVI -> PostScript' dialog.


Thanks in advance,

Mael.

It appears that there's a LyXRC variable "print_landscape_flag" which
defaults to
   print_landscape_flag = "-t landscape";

You can reset it to something else from the Outputs->Printer pane (Qt
frontend) of the Edit->Preferences dialog. (See the "Landscape:" field.)

string const Converters::dvips_options(Buffer const * buffer)
{
string result;
...

if (buffer->params.orientation == BufferParams::ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
&& buffer->params.papersize2 != BufferParams::VM_PAPER_CUSTOM)
result += ' ' + lyxrc.print_landscape_flag;
return result;

Latex2html

[Geoffrey Lloyd]

Hi

Just wondered if anyone had any success using/installing this with WinXp and 
Lyx??

I tried to do an Export->Html and got an error saying it couldn't find 
Latex2html - I assume it doesn't come with Lyx (is this correct??)

If this is the case I will go and find it and do a full install, but given the 
option is there it seems rather odd - and isn't listed as an extra in the Wiki.

That is correct.

Why do you find it odd? LyX can potentially be used with many tens
(hundreds?) of external tools, most of which you won't find installed on
your WinXP machine. Nonetheless, if you install the tool and adjust the
"path_prefix" line in your C:\Documents and Settings\GEOFFREY\Application
Data\LyX\preferences file (either by editting it directly or by use
Edit->Preferences), so that LyX can find the resulting executable, then
the configure script that is run on Edit->Reconfigure should be able to
recognise it.

Please remember that support for LyX on Windows is still very much in its
infancy and much of LyX (configure scripts for example) is still
fundamentally *nix not Windows.

Re: dvips option added by LyX

[Mael Hilléreau]

Angus Leeming a écrit :

That's true but if you call:
  dvips -t letter -t landscape InFile.dvi -o OutFile.ps

Then dvips says:

% dvips -t letter -t landscape test.dvi -o test.ps
This is dvips(k) 5.95a Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software
(www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2005.09.05:1456' -> test.ps
dvips: both landscape and papersize specified:  ignoring landscape
dvips: warning: -t selected paper may be too small

[...]

So I would like to remove the '-t letter' since adding the '-t
landscape' option isn't helpful for me.

Just using 'dvips Infile.dvi -o OutFile.ps' would work in my case (then
I obtain a landscape presentation).



You can reset it to something else from the Outputs->Printer pane (Qt
frontend) of the Edit->Preferences dialog. (See the "Landscape:" field.)



I noticed that the '-t' in '-t letter' is also specified in
'Edit>Preferences>Outputs>Printer' ("Paper type:"). Removing it doesn't
solve the problem since the 'letter' part of the option is still present
in the dvips command call.



string const Converters::dvips_options(Buffer const * buffer)
{
string result;
...

if (buffer->params.orientation == BufferParams::ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
&& buffer->params.papersize2 != BufferParams::VM_PAPER_CUSTOM)

I have a directory: C:\texmf\tex\latex\latex2html
and latex2html.cab, 17,271, is found under C:\Miktex

I did the complete or full install of Miktex.
Don't know whether this works or not when called from LyX.

C:\texmf\doc\faq\english\html\FAQ-LaTeX2HTML.html
LaTeX2HTML
a Perl script package that supports LaTeX only, and generates mathematics 
(and other "difficult" things) using bitmaps. The original version was 
written by Nikos Drakos for Unix systems, but the package now sports an 
illustrious list of co-authors and is also available for Windows systems. 
Michel Goossens and Janne Saarela published a detailed discussion of 
LaTeX2HTML, and how to tailor it, in TUGboat 16(2).


I also have tex4ht under C:\texmf which is preferred in my readings.

Thank you for the tip.

I added "\usepackage{soul}" to the preamble and can now do things like 
this now (in an ERT):

ul{test-ing}

But might there be a way that LyX (1.3.5) can take advantage of soul.sty 
automatically (without any ERT on my part)?

On of the reason that it doesn't work (apart from nobody having
implemented it) is that a chunk of LaTeX does not carry all needed
informations like document class. So while it might be possible (and
certainly useful) to have such feature it never will work reliably in
all cases.

Anyway, create an entry on bugzilla if you don't want to get this lost.

Actually, with everything properly configured, there _should_ be options 
to export to PDF (regular, pdflatex and dvipdfm).


Ana would appear to have some problems with her setup.  File->Export 
should list LaTeX among its options.  If it does not, then it is likely 
that LyX failed to find a working LaTeX installation, and that needs to 
be fixed before LyX can be used for much of anything.


As far as import, there is no option to import PDF or PS files.  Only 
ASCII, LaTeX and Noweb files can be imported.

Here, it also takes a long time before the compilation is completed.

  I don't remember just how long it too, but I recall something like 7 or 8
minutes on an Athlon XP-2200+ with 1G RAM. I always run the 'time' command
when I configure and build, just for the heck of it.

Do not use Part for that, as it serves another purpose.
Use Chapter environment for that.
Please note that Chapter is not available in every style. 
For instance, IIRC article does not allow Chapter, but book and report do.

Geoff,

My best advice to you is to get hold of a *nix box and install latex2html
(unless it is already installed, of course). Latex2html is predominantly
*unix-oriented, so the gain in the long run will be noticeable. I never had
much of a hard time compiling it either.

Having got latex2html installed (and in your PATH), ensure the paths to images
[1] in your LyX files are workable. For example,
'c:\my_thesis\graphics/figure1.eps' is a bad idea because it is
platform-dependent. Make sure paths are relative if possible, e.g.
'./graphics/figure1.eps'). Then, export your LyX document as LaTeX.

Having exported the document to LaTeX, export to HTML using the simple 
command:



latex2html *.lyx   # ensuring of course, that you have just 1 lyx file in
the current directory


The conversion is best done in your 'workspace', which contains all images
properly linked. Ensure no errors were flagged during the run. Errors are
output to the terminal (/console), as well as log files. If in doubt, skimp
them.

Customise the stylesheets if you wish to do so. Assuming your LyX file 
was named

file.lyx, you will find the stylesheets in ./file/file.css

I find it helpful when one binds a link to the corresponding PDF 
version at the

top of each HTML page, e.g.

http://www.schestowitz.com/Research/Continuation_Report/HTML/

I suppose you might encounter some improper paths in the links buttons, namely
'up', 'next', 'previous', 'contents' and 'index'. I have some scripts that fix
that in 'batch mode'. Contact me off-list if you need these scripts.

Lastly, link your HTML output and test it thoroughly, ensuring it does 
not flag

any errors in your logs (assuming you have access to these). Be sure to test
all images and test the style/s on various platforms and browsers if 
necessary.
Remember: it is most likely that people will read your thesis in HTML 
form, not
PDF. HTML files will also be indexed by crawlers and 404 errors will be 
frowned

upon.

Good luck!

Roy

[1] As for image conversions, ImageMagick is built into most Linux 
distribution.

You will most likely /not/ have to worry much about image conversions.

Add to your document preamble:
@addtoreset{section}{part}

You will not see the result in LyX immediately.
Desired effect will be emerged only after converting to pdf.
