That should not happen. Your procedure is supposed to work. If you send us an example .eps file (with correct bounding box) that shows this behaviour we can find out whether it is a local problem with your installation, or a general one.

ERT \today output format
I have just installed SUSE 10.0 on a friend's machine. The installed LyX (version 1.3.4 out of the box) displays the output of the TeX \today in American style: Feb 24, 2007 instead of 24th February, 2007 The Language for LyX is English, not American. Is this a LyX problem of a teTeX problem. If it is a teTeX problem, how do I fix it? regards John O'Gorman

[Re] problem with tex4ht ### SOLVED ###
From: Ares <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hello everyone,
I wrote a nice user manual for my application in LyX and I wanted to
translate it to html to inlcude it direclty in the user interface (I
know pdf with hyperref can do wonderful things but I want to play with
html now).
After some trouble (always the same problem of compatibility of
hyperref package) I manage to have a good html by:
1. exporting foo.lyx to foo.tex (plain)
2. latex foo
3. bibtex foo
3. latex foo
4. latex foo
3. htlatex foo "html"
except that figures look very bad (not all) as I suspect they are
converted from png to eps to jpg and resized as well somewhere. but
this is not my concern now.
try
\usepackage{graphicx}
in the preamble, and
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.png,.eps,.ps}
in your document. This shall avoid useless file conversions.
I try to do:
htlatex foo "html,2,frames"
as suggested in the tex4ht doc
(file:///C:/Programmi/MiKTeX%202.5/doc/tex4ht/tex4ht/mn.html) to
"break up the output into separate web pages, in accordance to the two
top sectioning levels of the document" and to "place the content and
table of contents in separate frames".
what I get is a single file, in one single frame.
The funny thing is that I managed to achive the desired result some
time ago on the same machine. by the way I'm on WinXP, LyX 1.4.3,
freshly updated MiKTeX 2.5
To solve this problem, try renaming the htlatex.exe file (which is
equivalent to deleting it while saving it for later) and moving the
htlatex.bat file to the htlatex.exe folder (you have to locate these
two files - exe and bat - on your machine). thanks to Eitan M. Gurari.

If you have CM Super installed, the default option will use vector-
based fonts. On Mac, I use Gerben Wierda's installation of TeX Live
(via i-Installer), which allows you to use Hoefler Text as your font
by including in your preamble:
\usepackage{gtamachoefler}
(There are some options for it as well as packages for using other
standard Mac fontns as well, which he has documented.) Or there's
always XeTeX.

I've had what might be the same problem on my work machine, which runs Fedora 3. (Yes, I need to upgrade.) After some LyX upgrade or other, I couldn't get LyX to compile anything that uses BibTeX and had to resort to doing it all by hand. I haven't solved the problem but will try to look again on Friday, when next I'm at the office.

Re: help with citations (jurabib package)
I think there's an easier way to do this. First, we want to make
ordinary citations into footnote citations. Try this:
\renewcommand\citep{\footcite}
Then insert your citations making sure you're doing it in the "(Author,
Year)" style, so that you get \citep. (Of course, you can also do it
other ways and change the \renewcommand, or have several different
ones.) Second, getting endnotes is trivial: Just
\usepackage{endnotes}
and jurabib will give you endnotes automagically (at least as of v.
0.51---see the docs). (If you need endnotes otherwise, of course you'll
need the \let\footnote=\endnote trick anyway.) Third, put
\jurabibsetup{citefull=first}
into the preamble, so you get full bibliographical info in the first
citation. (See the other choices, too.) As for the problem with ibidem,
this is controlled by jurabib options, too. It looks like you have
ibidem=name for some reason. You probably want ibidem=nostrict. Do you
have a jurabib.cfg that's setting this?
What's below is LaTeX not LyX, but it works and should be adaptable. Of
course, you'll have to change the citations to one of yours to get it
working for you.
The only trick here, then, is getting the footcite to work. It might be
worth filing an enhancement request to have that option added to the
bibliography dialog. Should be fairly simple to do, I'd suppose.
By the way, I tried \let\citep=\footcite and LaTeX choked. Anyone wanna
tell me why?
Best,
Richard

Looking at book.cls, I find this:

\thispagestyle{plain}%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@

[EMAIL PROTECTED]@schapter}
\secdef is basically checking for a star (it's defined in latex.ltx in

one and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if there is (in which case it also seems to play with the

LyX 1.4.4 crashing on OS X
Hi, I've tried LyX 1.4.4 (PPC version) on OS X on 2 different computers and on both LyX crashes when opening an existing file (like one of the help-files). I can create a new document, save it and open it again without problem. Anybody else having this problem? Regards, Patrick De Visschere
Re: Lyx 1.5.0 beta1 screen fonts antialiasing?
Hi, Thank you all for the informative replies. After a day of testing and googling, I have finally found the cause of this problem and the solution. The problem is actually quite deep: It is not in LyX, it is not in Qt4, it is because I used a VNC session to use LyX 1.5 and my VNC server (RealVNC) doesn't support the X RENDER extension, which Qt4 uses to display anti-aliased fonts. (Instead, Qt3 doesn't use RENDER for the fonts so Lyx 1.4 displays ok.) Instead of waiting for the next version of RealVNC, I switched to xf4vnc and this problem is solved. The speed now is a little slower, though. best, Sam On 2/28/07, Helge Hafting <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Shu Li wrote: > Hi, > > I am using Red Hat EL4, Qt 4.2.2 and Lyx 1.5.0 beta1.

more paste problems in Lyx 1.5.0 beta 1
Hello, With opensuse 10.2 and kde 3.5 I have another paste problem. 1) I took (with ctrl + x) a word for move it. Then I put it (with ctrl + v) in other site. Then I think that I put word in wrong site. Then I delete this word with baskspace key. I put cursor in other site, press ctrl + v and nothing appears. When I press backspace key, buffer with word was deleted. 2) I confirmed previous paste problem. In a window I took (with crtl + c) an ERT (with a \setcounter command). Click in another window. I put cursor in a title of chapter. I press ctrl + v. ERT appears correctly. With mouse wheel I put cursor at the end of another title of section or chapter and I press ctrl + v. Appears a title of section instead ERT. Regards Marcelo __ Preguntá. Respondé. Descubrí. Todo lo que querías saber, y lo que ni imaginabas, está en Yahoo!

Re: new trick no work for me
There's a problem using this with the koma-script classes: They redefine
the sectioning commands in such a way that [EMAIL PROTECTED] fails to work.
At least, I seem to remember that this is the problem. The issue came up
on the list a while back, so try searching the archives. Maybe we found
a solution. But you could try something like:
\addtokomafont{chapter}{\setcounter}
Maybe that'd work. But it's a dirty hack indeed!

Thanks. What you have shown me works like I wanted, but now I have
other problems, which always seems to be the case when using \cite and
its variations.
I needed my entry to show up as:
Plunket-Powell, Karen. *Remembering Woolworth's*. (New York: St.
Martin's Press, 1999), 51
Instead it showed up as:
Plunket-Powell, Karen Remembering Woolworth's. New York: St. Martin's
Press, 1999 , 51
There are four problems: there is no period after the author's name;
the title is not italicizied; there are no parenthesis around the
publicantion place and publisher; there is an extra space between the
year and comma.
There may be ways to fix this, but I am also going to have to fix the
entries in the bibligraphy itself. It seems like using \cite with the
humanites is a near impossible task. I have always run into problems.
(Note that the MLA style is easy to implement in latex; in fact, it is
such a straightforward system, one doesn't even need to use \cite.
Unfortunately the thesis directors won't accept this style, though the
Chicago Manual of styles recomends it as the superior style to use.)
I see that you are a philosophy professor, so maybe you have had
better luck. For me I am doing only one paper that needs citations,
and the paper contains only 50 different sources, so it may be easier
to use my hack.
Thanks anyway for your help.

I guess that a backtrace is required at this point. As I've indicated before, I think the source of the problem lies with the way LyX-1.4.4 was compiled on PPC Mac: the Mac I used has an old copy of the developer's tools that seems to be the culprit. (My problem is that I don't have easy access to a PPC Mac anymore.) Anders Ekberg has volunteered to compile a new version, which hopefully will be available later this week. Bennett

Hi Paul,
That ALMOST worked... I now have the TOC first page un-numbered and the
second page numbered(which is what I wanted) and no number on the List
of Tables(also what I wanted), but there is a problem with the list of
figures. Basically here is how I want it: I want to start counting in
roman numerals from the title page, supressing all numbers on the first
page of a new section. For some reason, when the TOC lists what page
the, say List of Figures, is on it is not factoring in the pages of the
TOC. So if the TOC is on page 5 and the list of Figures on page 7 ,it
will come up on the TOC listed as being on page 6 because it is not
counting the actual page in the TOC.(did that make sense?) Also, with
your code, I am still getting a number on the first page of the List of
figures and List of Tables... I cant get it to work sometimes with
combinations of number counting or number supressing the way I want, but
not all at once. Thanks for the help, I am really new to this and I am
trying to learn!

What I think is occurring is that LyX is not processing the document enough times. That is the only way I can account for the wrong page numbering. It is a common problem for latex to not number the pages right when it is not run enough times. Believe it or not, you probably have to run latex 3 times on your document. As for the page numbers showing up for the first page of the list of tables and list of figures, my guess is that the \thispagestyle command is ending up in the wrong place, either because of where you put it in your LyX document or where LyX puts it when it converts it to latex. Here's what I would do. Export your document to latex. Now go to the terminal and type: latex -output-format=pdf -halt-on-error && latex -output-format=pdf -halt-on-error && latex -output-format=pdf -halt-on-error Or if that is too much for one line, just type: latex -output-format=pdf -halt-on-error Then type the same command two more times. Make sure that you substute your actual name of your file for . So if your document is called thesis.tex, you would type: latex -output-format=pdf -halt-on-error thesis.tex That should create a PDF file. Open that up in your PDF viewer and see if that fixes your problem. If it does or if it doesn't, open up your in a text editor and cut and past the code that has \tableofcontents, including the lines above it and the lines after \listoffigures--in other words, all the relevant text.

Hi Charles,
First, I realize I spoke too soon when I said the fix would be easy. I
have just done some experimentation and it seems that the command
\thispagestyle does not work with the \tableofcontents \listoflists
and \listoffigures environments. That is because you have to issue
these commands *after* you issue the \chapter command, but the chapter
command is issued internally in the tableofcontents etc commands. So
we have to redefine these commands in the preamble like this:
\renewcommand\tableofcontents{%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\else
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\fi
\chapter*{\contentsname
\thispagestyle{empty}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\MakeUppercase\contentsname}{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}}%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
\makeatother
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\listoftables{%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\else
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\fi
\chapter*{\listtablename}%
\thispagestyle{empty}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\MakeUppercase\listtablename}%
{\MakeUppercase\listtablename}%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
\makeatother
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\listoffigures{%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\else
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\fi
\chapter*{\listfigurename}%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
{\MakeUppercase\listfigurename}%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
\makeatother
Now get rid of the \thispagestyle commands you already issued.
It is strange that you are getting an error message when you try to
run latex on your document. Could you paste the error for me? We want
to fix this so we can get latex to run 3 times and see if we can fix
your other problem.
I won't be on my computer until Sat, and I'm going to bed soon, so
hopefully you can respond right away.
By the way, if you use the memoir class, you probably don't have to
redefine any commands in the preamble because the memoir class lets
you customize the first page in any environment. Just a note for the
future.

PS It is too bad that all these techniques can't be put into one very

unfortunate that there are many nice techniques one finds only be

give up.
