Re: pdf to ps conversion results in low quality images

Thanks Scott,

After much troubleshooting, it turned out the problem was that my converter settings were all using 'ps2pdf' and 'pdf2ps' for conversion. Maybe that's the default setting LyX reverts to when reinstalled. Unfortunately, when PDFs are included as images in the LyX document, the 'LaTeX ...

pdf to ps conversion results in low quality images

Hi folks,

I just upgraded to LyX 2.1.4 and MacTex 2015 and I'm having issues with postscript conversion from pdf now, though I wasn't before I upgraded. I previously was able to output a 700+ page document with images that came to 7.2mb using ps2pdf, or 32mb using pdflatex. Now pdflatex still ...

IPA unicode input in Glosse and Tri-glosse

I'm trying to get unicode input to work in the Linguistic Glosse inset that comes with LyX.

Background:
There is currently no way to directly input IPA characters into a linguistic glossed example (that I have found). If you try to key in a unicode character to a Glosse inset in LyX, the editor ...

No interlinear on first line of gloss?

SOLVED!

So excited when I found this solution, after many headaches, trial and error. I was able to locally redefine the \threesent macro for covington.sty in my preamble.

Just paste the following code in your document's preamble:

{\catcode`\^^M=12 \endlinechar=-1 % 12 = other
\gdef\threesent#1 ...

Additional space within glossed examples

Hi Josep,

I remember trying to work something like this out before, albeit using a slightly different glossing package. Since you're using the cgloss4e.sty I thought I'd take a look at it and see what the options are for changing spacing.

I took your minimal example and ran it through, then ...

No interlinear on first line of gloss?

I'm trying to create linguistic examples with interlinear glosses where the first line is not interlinearized. This would be useful for adding a line of orthographic text in the local language, then having a line of IPA marked for clitics/affixes, and then appropriate glosses.

I'm attaching a ...

Prevent Page Breaks in linguistic Gloss

Hi folks,

after some trial and error, I came up with some global code to keep all the linguistic glosses in your document from splitting across pages. I'm sure this would work with modification for equations, etc... Thanks to the hint in the TeX UK FAQ .

In LyX just put the following code in your ...

Linguistic Glosses in Examples not aligned in Book class

Success! This now works, turns out I was trying to redefine the wrong environment the whole time ('example' instead of 'examples')! Thanks to Jürgen Spitzmüller on the other thread ( http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/58322 ) for this solution:

The tip on the wiki only changes the ...

Linguistic Glosses in Examples not aligned in Book class

I discovered a temporary workaround this morning. Unfortunately I have to type it in at every instance where the free translation is not aligned, but I can force-insert a space to the line using the \hspace*{} command, as in:

\gll Example 1
example one
\glt \hspace*{0.1in}`this example no longer ...

Linguistic Glosses in Examples not aligned in Book class

Just to clarify, I try to use the following code in the Preamble, and it doesn't work:

\renewenvironment{example}{%
\setlength\leftmargini{3.05em}
\begin{examples}%
\settowidth{\labelwidth}{(0.00)}%
\item}
{\end{examples}}

I'm wondering if there is a problem with the \renewenvironment - ie why ...
