Saving text file in ASCII mode for the first time

Samuel Ieong — 2008-05-13T00:09:30

Hi All, I am sorry this problem is probably easy to fix but I wasn't able to solve it after reading help and performing some experimentation. The problem has to do with saving a file in text mode for the first time, I ended up losing all spacing information. I felt that this must be related to the "keep all spaces" option under document properties, but even if that's checked, when I save the file, the problem persists. Is there something that I am missing? Version: 5.5 running on WinXP. Many thanks! Regards, - Sam

Winedt 5.6 console

=?iso-8859-15?Q?Agustin_E._Bolz=E1n?= — 2008-05-12T12:42:52

Dear Alex, I have found the new console very nice, especially because you can change from console to log file with a click. I wonder if it would also be included the gather window in this behaviour, i.e. one can open either the gather window from the console or open the console/log file window within the gather window. For the rest, it seems it runs very fine. Best regards, Agustin

Setting location of bib file

Jean-Pierre Koenig — 2008-05-05T14:47:29

Hi, I keep not being able to solve a problem, no matter which version of WinEdit or MiKTeX I use. I want BibTeX to assume MY bib files are in a particular folder on my USB flash drive (so that it's available on both my home/office/laptop computers). HOW do I achieve that? ANY help greatly appreciated, Best, JP

Mailing List Guidelines

WinEdt.org — 2008-05-01T12:27:09

WinEdt Mailing List Guidelines ============================== These guidelines are sent to the WinEdt Mailing List once a month. Please keep them in mind when posting to the list. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * What To Post The WinEdt Mailing List is for questions about the WinEdt editor. You should not post questions concerning LaTeX, MiKTeX, BibTeX et al. to the mailing list. WinEdt is a shell/editor for LaTeX etc. and the list is intended to answer questions concerning WinEdt, not LaTeX etc. (Sometimes it might be difficult to decide whether a problem is related to WinEdt or to MiKTeX, LaTeX etc. A rule of thumb is: If you are having the same problems when running the program from the command line, it is NOT related to WinEdt.) A lot of questions are being asked over and over again. Check that your question isn't already answered in the WinEdt FAQ at or in the mailing list archives at . When sending a question to the mailing list, try to be specific. Include (at least) + the Build number of your WinEdt (see "Help | About WinEdt...") + your operating system (e.g.: "Windows 2000, Service Pack 2") + a detailed description of the problem and how to reproduce it. If you have received one or more answers that solved your problem, you can give something back to the WinEdt community by writing a summary that can be integrated in the WinEdt FAQ. You can either send it to the list, or directly to the maintainer of the FAQ. Do NEVER post your registration key. Nobody needs to know it. * How To Post Use plain-text format. Not everybody can (or wants to) read HTML. Use a meaningful subject line that will make sense to the people whose help you are trying to get. Do not quote entire messages just to add a few lines at the beginning or end. Instead, quote the parts to which you are directly replying or quote enough to establish the context. Everybody on the list has already received the message that you are quoting, and anyone searching the archive will find your message and the previous message listed under the same thread. Do not start a new thread by replying to an unrelated message and just changing the subject line. For people who group messages by threading in their mailer, your mail will appear as one of the replies to the original message. It is better to start a new message for a new thread. The preferred language on the WinEdt Mailing List is English. This does not imply disrespect to other languages, but simply guarantees the best possible communication as English is the language that the largest number of subscribers are able to understand. Since the WinEdt list has been used for unwittingly spreading viruses in e-mail attachments in the past, all attachments will be removed from your mails. All relevant documents (if any) are text files anyway, which you can include in the body of your message. Do not request return receipts. If you are "out of office" and you want to set up an auto-responder for your e-mail account, please unsubscribe from the list temporarily! * Unsubscribing + More To unsubscribe from the WinEdt Mailing List, send an empty mail to: wsg.net> from the account that you are subscribed with. DO NOT send a mail to the list! This will have no effect apart from annoying the subscribers. The complete list of administrative commands for the WinEdt Mailing List can be found here: * Links + The WinEdt home page + WinEdt community's home page WinEdt.org is a place for users of WinEdt to share configuration components, macros, plug-ins etc. It also hosts a list of frequently asked questions: + The WinEdt Mailing List messages are archived at + Links for LaTeX and friends: - the UK TUG TeX FAQ: - the international TeX newsgroup , offering quick and knowledgeable help - its archive can be found at - the MiKTeX mailing lists (see ) + If you have any suggestions for these guidelines, please contact me at winedt.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- Happy WinEdt'ing!

ANN: WinEdt 5.6

WinEdt Team — 2008-04-30T17:27:33

Beta version of WinEdt 5.6 is now available for testing. Read the instructions carefully and proceed accordingly. You should also read the What's New section for description of all the changes, bug fixes, etc... This version may not be for everyone: Macros in Exec folder have been rewritten and the Accessories Menu for MiKTeX and TeX Live has been changed to call the new (common) macros that can execute console applications in WinEdt's Console. Restoring the old macros in Exec folder or the old Accessories Menu will not (can not!) work properly with the new Execution Modes... Documentation is yet to be updated: reading the What's New file is the only way to get familiar with the new functionality. Have fun. Best regards, alex

F3 ?

Philip TAYLOR (Ret'd — 2008-04-29T16:47:36

Dear Colleagues -- Working hard to identify a problem with a Perl program edited using WinEDT, I am being driven to distraction by the latter's out-of-the-box treatment of "F3" after "Ctrl-F". "Ctrl-F" launches a "Find" dialogue box, as a Windows user would expect, but "F3" does /not/ perform a "Find next", unlike most (every ?) other Windows program. Is this intentional, if so what is the reason, and can it be fixed by the user ? Philip TAYLOR

CE character

Zarko Cucej — 2008-04-25T12:26:45

Hi! I have for me serious troubles with use of CE character set. I don't know, how to permanently convince WinEdt to use CE. Now every time when start WinEdt, regardless that i select in Preferences for fonts Curier New with CE scripts, it show document in Default windows character sets (i see \`{c} insead of \v{c}, presented in LaTeX notation). This I can every time fix manuely by selection in options/fonts CE character set. This is only annoying, but when i try to use find--replace function, WinEdt some character which i like to replace with \v{c} replace with just c ... Described problem I didn't observe at \v{s} and \v{z} character. Please help mi fix this problem. Regards, Zarko

Help with parsing bracketed parameters (non WinEdt related question)

Nicolas Vaughan — 2008-04-16T16:50:34

Hi, This is a non-WinEdt related question... but elsewhere I've found no help with it! I'm writing a class style for LaTeX. But I want my commands to parse optional commands enclosed in [ ]. I know I must use something like \< at >ifnextchar[ , but I haven't been able to understand the examples I've looked up in the net. I found out, though, that the syntax of such a command is: \< at >ifnextchar{truecase}{falsecase} My problem is how to incorporate it in the command. Note that I don't want to parse optional parameters with the LaTeX 2e command-definition syntax (\newcommand{\name}[1][1]...), since this doesn't allow me to use bracketed optionals. Any tips? Thanks in advance. Nicolas Vaughan

Log examination

Bernice Barnett — 2008-04-14T05:41:28

I'm using Winedt build 20071003 (v. 5.5). The minimal input is the file showing my problem is -------------------------------------------- \documentclass[12pt]{article} \begin{document} Hello world! \end{document} ------------------------------------------- I run this file through pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.4 (MiKTeX 2.7). Next, I hit the log button in Winedt. That causes a pop up warning (and no log display at screen bottom). The warning says ")" Expected [FindError(1,1,0,1,0,0 ^^^,0,4);] I have no idea what this means or what to do about it. BTW, all was working but I haven't done any tex-ing for a while and now this - no updates since installation. Any ideas what is going on and what to do about it. The log file is included below. Thanks for any help.

Problem with Dictionary manager

Nicolas Vaughan — 2008-04-13T18:20:32

Hi, I've been having some problems with WinEdt's (5.5 b. 20071003) Dictionary manager: 1. I currently use mainly three dictionaries (apart from WinEdt's and LaTeX's): English, Spanish and Latin. I usually need to add words to any of these, but WinEdt doesn't ask me to which one. It adds them to the first dictionary on the list (English, in my case). All the options of the three dictionaries are the same (modified, load on start, add new words, and compounded words are all checked) . 2. As a result, I've had to manually add words to these dictionaries. But when I ask the Dictionary manager to sort the dictionaries, these remain unchanged. Any tips? Thanks a lot! Nicolas Vaughan

Hyperref

Marcel Oliveira — 2008-04-12T11:09:46

Hi there, I have a LaTex file that makes use of the hyperref package. When I generate the dvi in my desktop using WinEdt the hyper links work perfectly, but when I do the same thing in my laptop id doesn't. I believe both WinEdt and Yap versions are the same. Apparently, there is some configuration that is different but I just can't recall changing anything or find any different configuration. Any ideas on how to make my Laptop's Texify (using WinEdt) to insert the hyperlinks in the generated dvi?

Problem with the mouse

FRANCISCO JAVIER LOPEZ FRAGUAS — 2008-04-12T05:19:12

This is my problem: when I edit any text in WindEdt, the focus of the mouse is moving all the time. If I click the mouse in a position in an open text, the blinking cursor indicating the WinEdt current position is placed correctly there but, if I click again without moving at all the mouse, the cursor appears in a different place (a few lines above). This is very annoying. In particular, I can't do double-clicking. It does not depend on the mouse. The touchpad of the laptop or an external USB mouse do the same. This behavior only happens when editing WinEdt texts, not in other applications (including WinEdt Help). Has anybody experienced a similar problem?

External execution macro + log support

Leonardo Freitas — 2008-04-11T07:32:42

Hello, I use WinEdt for quite a while now, but I am not very familiar with the Macro language. I have a java program I would like to execute and capture the results in a log file. What I had in mind was to execute a bat file such as java -jar myjar.jar %1 >> %2 where %1 would be a set of parameters sent by winedt, say the current file name or something like it, and %2 would be some log file name that I would like to integrate within find errors window (usually docked underneath the editor window itself). I looked into the manuals, and the Texify.edt, Latex.edt, but it sounded quite a task to understand it all. And I wondered if somebody had already done something similar, or could give me some hints/tips on how to achieve that, please. Many thanks :-) Best, Leo

REQ: Are you interested in doing some WinEdt support and customisation?

J.Fine — 2008-04-10T14:56:31

Hello Here at The Open Univerity, we use TeX to produces Mathematics and upper-level Physics courses, and I'm hired as the resident TeX expert. For this year and next I'm working two days a week on another project, and so we're looking for someone to help us out with WinEdt. We're looking for someone to answer support questions, help with configuration and do some menu customisation. If you're familiar with WinEdt and its documentation, and have good electronic communication skills, then you're well placed to do this paid work. If you're interested, please send me an email. (And in case you're wondering, I already asked Alex, and he said he was too busy.) Jonathan

what happened with eps2pdf?

=?iso-8859-15?Q?Agustin_E._Bolz=E1n?= — 2008-04-04T15:14:13

After a long time without using it, I need now to convert eps graphics to pdf. In the past I used the eps2pdf tool that I installed with the old MUI interface. But now it seems that the old MUI does not work anymore (maybe because it was replaced inside winedt.exe?) and each time I try to run the epstopdf.edt macro, nothing happens. Any clue? Thanks a lot in advance! Best regards, Agustín

Question about project tree

Helmut Haberzettl — 2008-04-03T15:21:07

Hi, For many LaTeX projects I use the \input command to retrieve files from various directories. If the path information appears explicitly in the \input command (for example \input{path/filename}), this appears correctly in the project tree as "path/filename" (without quotes) and clicking on it opens the corresponding input file. However, if the path information is stored in a LaTeX variable (say, \mypath), then \input{\mypath/filename} produces "? filename" and clicking on it will result in a 'file not found' error message. My question, therefore, is there a way of transmitting the path information in \mypath to the project tree macro? I presume this would have to involve retrieving this information from some file header which would be okay. (And if it should be possible, I would like the project tree to show only "filename" and suppress the path information.) I am perfectly willing doing some programming myself if I get pointed to the right files to get started. Thank you. --hh PS: I use WinEdt build: 20071003 (v. 5.5).
