Re: Problem pasting LaTeX Code into a LyX equation

A related question. I now insert a properly formatted LaTeX display

Yes, because ERT (TeX Code) stuff is not parsed by LyX.

I propose to insert you LaTeX code to a LyX formula. In case the import is incorrect, fix it so that 
the formula is properly in LyX. Then you can use labels without problems. Fixing the non-imported 
LaTeX stuff does usually not need much time.


Attached is your code that I took and copied into an empty LyX formula. You can see that there is 
not much to fix.


The Code from MathType is problematic because it is uses a lot of unneeded braces which prevent the 
correct import.

I always use the LyX way, and I frequently produce documents with tens or 
hundreds of figure floats.  But to speed things up, once I have the settings 
right (size, justification, position of caption, etc.) I insert the next 
figure by copying and pasting the previous figure, then editing the image

I concur that inline spellchecking is not helpful during writing.

Have a look at the User's Guide as well, which explains that LyX simply 
implements an external program to do the spellchecking. It may happen in 
the future that LyX will support a program that provides inline 
spellchecking, but for now it's Aspell for Windows users (and probably most 
everyone else). Looking at the Aspell documentation (http://aspell.net/), 
there is no mention of a desire for inline spellchecking, so if you want 
that you might want to look at another program and work on implementing 
support for it in LyX.

endnotes

2007-12-11 Thread William Seager
I can't seem to find the answer to this. I know how to convert
footnotes to endnotes and how to place endnotes in a
document.

I want all the endnotes to appear at the end of the book, but
I need to have them divided by chapter. I mean, as you read
through the endnotes you should come to a break with a 
title like: "Notes to Chapter X" (then the notes should start
numbering from 1 again).

While I'm dreaming, it would also be nice to have the headers
change so that on each page of the endnotes the header
reads "Notes to Ch. X, pp. Y - Z"

Can anything like this be done in Lyx? Thanks.

Honestly, you might find that answers to your many questions come much 
faster if you start regularly using the Help -> menu in LyX. The User's

I forgot to mention that I have terms like:

/home/\emph{user}/public\_html/

(I can remove the \_ with _ if using \url{}.)

How can I emphasize a part of the \url{} output? Do I need to split up 
into:

\url{/home/}\texttt{emph{user}}\url{/public_html/}

That assumes using default tt face for url.

I have around 1200 /paths/ in my book. Manually trying to go back and redo 
this will take a while.

I just don't want them to go out into my right margin. I can fix these 
manually but then if I change something previous then my fixes are no good 
and I need to undo manually and then new margin problems that later come 
up.

If I use \url{} my margin problems are fixed but then I lose my emphasis 
and then need to get rid of all my \ escapes and my other LaTeX commands 
used within it.

The answer to all such questions is: It can be done if there is a LaTeX

You LaTeX distribution should set up a local tree for you. In my case, it's

And finally, you need to run texhash whenever you add or remove anything.

You should use a "localized" version of the bibtex-style, which formats 
several author names by using "und". [BTW, are You writing a German or 
an English text? If You are writing in English, a German book entry 
should be "localized" in the bibliography (i.e. use "and" instead

Well, what I mean is that most of the bibtex styles are written for 
English text. So they will format entries according to the English 
spelling. In order to change this - i.e. to localize Your bibtex 
style - one must edit the .bst file and change all English 
abbreviations etc. (and - of course - use this style in the document, 
too :) ). To have an idea what a localized style looks like, please 
have a look here: 
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/TeX/CTAN/biblio/bibtex/contrib/german/dinat/dinat.bst

There are some German styles, please have a look at the CTAN-site

Does anyone actually use the LyX way to include figures/pictures?


I always use the LyX way, and I frequently produce documents with tens 
or hundreds of figure floats.  But to speed things up, once I have the 
settings right (size, justification, position of caption, etc.) I insert 
the next figure by copying and pasting the previous figure, then editing 
the image filename, label and caption appropriately.


That's what I used to do as well.. but it's silly that LyX of all software 
requires you to do this manually for figures.  Is there currentlye a way 
to have some kind of 'layout' or 'style' for a figure?  I.e. so that you 
can define the style once?

Hi,

I see several users contribute to the wiki, so I would just like to 
encourage them to annouce what they've done to this list.  That will allow 
others to use it, and perhaps even build upon it.


Best regards, and thanks!

PS. People who want to see what's happening on the wiki can look at

which is now working, or follow the LyX documentation list.

This feature has not been touched. Your problem is a LaTeX one, to help you precisely I need your 
LyX file. Please delete all other stuff except of the two paragraphs with the index entries and send 
it to my by private mail.

But before doing this, have you checked what Jürgen said? I bet that this is 
the reason.

That package is fantastic. The latex world is like perpetual Christmas
morning!

There is a problem though. The endheads package works by looking
for "\endnote" codes but lyx does not supply these. For a while
I could not get endheads to work until I thought to export to
tex, replace all "\footnote" with "\endnote". I used Kile for
this. Importing the resulting document back into lyx is not very
successful (lots of little errors ...), though the endheads stuff
works perfectly.

Is there anyway to globally replace the lyx footnote insertions with
"\endnote" ERTs? I'm sorry I'm so new to lyx. I don't even know
how to *search* for footnotes in a lyx document, let alone perform
operations on them.

Hope to learn though ...

Apologies for replying to myself, but in case others are
wondering. Lyx works with endheads just fine *if*
you put this in the preamble:

\renewcommand{\footnote}{\endnote}

instead of what I had, which was:

\let\footnote=\endnote

Sorry for the chatter ...

I saw you found a solution otherwise. But there is other good news, 
namely, that LyX 1.6.x will contain support for endnotes, even alongside 
footnotes, if that is what you wish.
