Thanks to all the developers! I was just wondering if it was at all possible to get a specific TeX command that LyX does not recognize to display as some sort of non-ERT. To make that clearer, I'll tell you my issue: In the preamble, I have (using kerning and other commands I copied online) defined \dbar to be a d crossed at the top, like \hbar. LyX, of course, recognizes neither \dbar nor the code underneath it, although it looks great in the pdf output. It would be nice (although not necessary) if there was some way I could tell LyX to display \dbar as just a plain "d" instead of ERT, or even better, as a bold or non-italicized (in math mode) "d". I've looked a little through the archives, and I didn't see anything there that looked like this question, but if it has already been answered, please point me to it! thanks, Wendell Wendell Smith 2008-10-07T03:44:47 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50420 I'm on Windows Vista Home Premium x64. I installed LyX version 1.5.6, and towards the end of the installation it tried to do something with a printer and gave error 0x800f0214. However when I ran LyX, nothing seemed to be broken so I'm wondering if I can just ignore it. I googled 0x800f0214 and it seems to be some problem with printing from x64 to a printer installed in XP. Gary Ri 2008-10-05T22:26:46 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50419 I am running lyx 1.5.3 on ubuntu 08 10 (hardy). I just added a eps file to a lyx document. Now I cannot generate a pdf file. I am told by lyx that I need to add a converter for this in the preferences dialog. I found out that if I install livetex-extra-utils I will get a command: epstopdf I did this and the command was installed. I then added converters epstopdf $$i (EPS -->PDF (dvipdfm) epstopdf $$i (EPS -> PDF (pdflatex) epstopdf $$i (EPS -> PDF (ps2pdf) (I didn't know which of these I needed). This didn't work however because the command "convert" was not found. I could not find any references to this command on ubuntu. Can anyone tell me how to install the "convert" command on ubuntu? If I am doing anything else wrong fell free to point that out as well. Sincerely, Ralph Boland Ralph Boland 2008-10-06T20:48:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50417 Hi Can anyone tell me exactly how the external_templates file works? I want to use datatool to plot some graphs, and I have the data in a csv file. Just referencing the csv file in ERT (the code is \DTLloaddb{databasename}{filename}) gives the usual problems with relative paths, so I wanted to try to write a copier for it in external_templates. So far my attempts have got me nowhere and I haven't been able to find any documentation for the file. Also, I would have thought that it would be fairly easy to create a generic entry which simply ensures that a file is copied to temp so that if it is referenced in ERT it will be found. Any comments on this? aquavitae 2008-10-06T05:29:44 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50408 Dear All, When I insert a vertical space in the beginning of a page, such a vertical space does not appear in the pdflatex output. (Please, see the attached file.) Any ideas? I am using $ rpm -q lyx lyx-1.5.6-2.fc9.i386 $ on Fedora 9 (Linux). Thanks in advance, Paul Paul Smith 2008-10-04T16:29:37 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50405 When I try to install lyx from svn as follows svn co svn+ssh://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk lyx-devel it asks me for a password.

It finally worked even in Lyx 1.4.3 installed on a linux system . It helped to know that one needs to do alt+X to get the buffer . anu saxena 2008-10-03T03:01:15 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50384 1. Is it possible to navigate in a "List of Program Listings" (or other insets)? 2. In addition, is it possible to loop over all "Program Listings" and set for them common "Settings"? (I have so many PL's for which I would like to set "Break long lines" that it seems like never ending to do it for each inset separately!) Thank you, Nikos Nikos Alexandris 2008-10-02T21:59:29 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50379 To reproduce this problem (on Mac): From Finder, right-click (ctrl-click) on a file and choose "Open With" and then open using 1.6rc3. This opens the file, but the lyx window that it opens in has none of the toolbars available. The regular LyX window is also opened, but is empty. If I close the file and re-open it from the "Open Recent" menu, then it works fine. I seem to remember discussion of this topic when rc1 was released. It persists with rc2 and rc3. Can any other Mac users verify this??? James James Sutherland 2008-10-02T16:42:57 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50377 Hello, LyX/Mac 1.6.0rc3, a preview of the Mac OS X version of the upcoming LyX 1.6, has now been released and is available for download here: ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/pre/LyX-1.6.0rc3-Mac-Universal.dmg LyX 1.6rc3 is not a stable release! This means it is good for testing, but expect inconsistencies, regressions, and bugs. This preview release is built for interested LyX users who want to test the new features of LyX. We advise to backup your files and not to use this version for anything else but testing. Please report bugs to lyx-users-UqbJ+GOpo48g9kffE6ERjg< at >public.gmane.org Best regards, Konrad Konrad Hofbauer 2008-10-02T14:22:42 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50373 I noticed something similar. When I use the GUI everything works and I can export to pdf however, when I use the command line and type lyx -e pdf2 Doc_LP10_31.lyx, lyx does it's business (no errors when using -dbg) but the pdf file does not appear in the directory containing Doc_LP10_31.pdf Cheers, Jouke PS. I'm very happy with the new interface!! jouke hijlkema 2008-10-02T12:24:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50369 There is no problem of the whole process, except that the output pdf file is exported in the tempory folder, e.g. "S:\TEMP\lyx_tmpdir.qHp428\lyx_tmpbuf0", in stead of in the same folder with the original .lyx. Does anybody know what's going go? Best regards, Huaming Wu Huaming Wu 2008-10-02T00:44:01 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50366 Hello: I am a new LYX and Latex user and I am trying to setup an interrupted list in enumerate. I have been trying to understand how this can be done from the LYX on line documentation, but I really don´t understand what I have to do. For instance, in the following page: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Numbering it is adviced to a package like enumerate.sty. Is this package installed somehow? It also say that "There are several ways to accomplish this using the familiar LaTeX enumerate environment, all of which require using either ERT or the preamble." The problem is that I don´t even know what is an ERT! I would be most grateful if someone can help me getting started! I use Windows XP and LYX 1.5.6. My document class is an article (AMS) and I am uisng the sciword bind file. Thanks!!! Fernando Diaz FERNANDO DIAZ 2008-10-01T20:21:26 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50356 hi I have installed Lyx version 1.5.5 . I am trying to create a math macro as described in the User's guide of the documentation . when I execute the command math-macro name 3 in the mini-buffer I do not get four red boxes instead I get only two . I have tried doing that atleast fifteen or twenty times but only once the macro got made . I am working on a brand new apple mac . I do not understand what exactly is going wrong and why is it that once only the instruction as described in the guide got executed . thanks anu anu saxena 2008-10-01T08:22:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50353 Hi, We've seen your website at http://www.troubleshooters.com/tpromag/200201/200201.htm and we love it!

NOTE: LyX 1.6rc3 is not a stable release! That means it is stable enough for testing, but expect inconsistencies and regressions. This preview release is build for interested LyX users who want to check out the new features of LyX. The new features of LyX are listed here: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16 ! THIS LYX VERSION SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANYTHING ELSE THAN TESTING ! ----- The installer for this version can be downloaded from: https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=15204 (General infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) This LyX version can be installed side by side to an existing LyX 1.5 installation when you uncheck the installer option update the ".lyx" file extension settings. It will be installed as "LyX 1.6.0rc3". Installer Changelog: ------------- Version 4.09 - LyX 1.6rc3 (list of current regressions: http://tinyurl.com/yu4the ) (list of current crashes and critical bugs: http://tinyurl.com/653prg) - updated to MiKTeX 2.7 (build 3164) - updated to Python 2.5.2 - updated to Ghostscript 8.63 - updated to ImageMagick 6.4.4-1 ----- The updated versions of Python and Ghostscript changed their internal file structure.

When you have not yet translated something for LyX but will help us, please reply to the lyx-docs mailing list for further information. happy testing and best regards Uwe Uwe Stöhr 2008-09-30T23:17:44 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50349 Public release of LyX version 1.6.0 (release candidate 3) ========================================================= We are pleased to announce the third release candidate of LyX 1.6.0. LyX 1.6.0 will be the culmination of 14 months of hard work since the release of the LyX 1.5 series. We sincerely hope you will enjoy the result. As usual with a major release, a lot of work that is not directly visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups and some of the new features are the direct results of this work. The new features in LyX 1.6 are detailed in http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX16 The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues with this release compared to the current stable release (LyX 1.5.6). An updated list of issues might later be found at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject: LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It is released under a Free Software / Open Source license. LyX is for people that write and want their writing to look great, right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting details, 'finger painting' font attributes or futzing around with page boundaries. You just write. In the background, Prof. Knuth's legendary TeX typesetting engine makes you look good. On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output -- or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced -- looks like nothing else. Gone are the days of industrially bland .docs, all looking similarly not-quite-right, yet coming out unpredictably different on different printer drivers. Gone are the crashes 'eating' your dissertation the evening before going to press. LyX is stable and fully featured. It is a multi-platform, fully internationalized application running natively on Unix/Linux and the Macintosh and modern Windows platforms. You can download LyX 1.6.0rc3 here (the .bz2 are compressed with bzip2, which yields smaller files): ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0rc3.tar.gz ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.6.0rc3.tar.bz2 Note that due to the amount of change, no patch is provided to upgrade from version 1.5.6. Prebuilt binaries (rpms for linux distributions, Mac OS X and Windows installers) should soon be available at ftp://ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/ If you find what you think is a bug in LyX 1.6.0rc3, you may either e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug report at http://bugzilla.lyx.org If you're having trouble using the new version of LyX, or have a question, first check out http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org). Enjoy! The LyX team. José Matos 2008-09-30T13:05:55 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/50342 Hi everyone, I am using lyx for writing my thesis and am a Really new user of latex. After much hard work, I have decided to use LYX and for my bibliography I wish to use jabref. Now, creation of references in jabref is Ok. I have decided to use the following filefor the bib style. http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bibtex/unsrt.bst I have adjusted some minor customizations for author name year etc.. But the real problem I am facing right now is about reference formatting. The above file and almost all other style files available on net LIST THE REFERENCES in a single line e.g. Auger P., J. Phys. Radium 6, 205 (1925) But I want them to be in the below given format Auger P., J. Phys. Radium 6, 205 http://n2.nabble.com/file/n1128059/unsrt.bst unsrt.bst (1925) i.e. Authors on the first line & journal, publication details in the second. I have tried all my options but I am not able to change this style file to move to second line. Kindly suggest the Change at the earliest. Thanks in advance.
