Look at the LaTeX code you inserted for typos.

If there are no typos, check and see that you used the command(s) correctly.

If you get a bunch of error boxes piled up at the very top of the document,
it means that there are errors in the preamble.
Start debugging your preamble.

\begin_layout Enumerate

If you didn't add anything to the preamble and didn't add any LaTeX code
to the document, the first suspect is your LaTeX distribution itself.
Check for missing packages and install them.

Do you have long sections of text where LaTeX cannot find a place to break
a line? By default, LaTeX is rather strict about how much extra inter-word
spacing it will add in order to break a line.

Did you go overboard with the nesting? LyX (currently) doesn't check to
make sure you're in the limits for nesting environments.
If you nested a bunch of environments to the

The purpose of reLyX is to translate

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-
reLyX has some bugs and lacks a few features.
However, its main goals are:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
-
Get through a well-behaved LaTeX2e file without crashing
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
-
Translate a lot of that file.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
-
Localize the parts that can't be translated and copy them in TeX mode
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-
It achieves these main goals pretty well on most files.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-
There are many improvements that can and will be made to reLyX in the future.
However, we wanted to get reLyX out there early on, to make it easier for
new LyX users to read in their existing LaTeX files.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection

Usage
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-
Here's a more lengthy description of what you should do to translate a LaTeX
document into LyX.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
-
Run reLyX.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
-
reLyX will inform you of its progress and give any warnings to stderr, so
if you don't want any output at all, try (in csh)
\begin_inset Quotes eld
.
\end_layout
+
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
-
Run LyX on the resulting .lyx file.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
-
In theory, most of the file will have been translated, and anything that's
untranslatable will be highlighted in red (TeX mode).
In theory, LyX will be able to read in the file, and to create printed
\family default
file.
\end_layout
+
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
-
Change things that are in ERT boxes (TeX code) by hand in LyX.
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
-
As mentioned above, you should be able to print out the LyX file even without
doing this.
However, changing a command in TeX mode to the corresponding LyX object
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-
reLyX is not guaranteed to create a LyX file which generates exactly the
same output as the LaTeX file, but it should come close.
reLyX will generally err on the side of translating less to ensure that
and less WYSIWYM.
\end_layout
+
\end_deeper
\begin_layout Itemize
-
PROOFREAD THE DOCUMENT!!
\end_layout
\begin_deeper
\begin_layout Standard
-
I'm sure you were planning on doing this anyway, but it's particularly important
after translating a LaTeX document.
reLyX is, at least now, better at
For example, you may see extra spaces or deleted spaces.
Space handling has improved, but it's not perfect.
\end_layout

\end_deeper
\begin_layout Subsubsection

What reLyX Can Handle
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-
reLyX understands many LaTeX commands.
It will translate:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
-
regular text, including mini-commands like ~, '',
\family typewriter
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
-
title commands like

to LyX layouts

Some of this support may not be 100% yet.

\begin_layout Standard
-
reLyX copies math (almost) verbatim from your LaTeX file.
Luckily, LyX reads in LaTeX math, so (almost) any math which is supported
by LyX should work just fine.

What LyX Can't Handle
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard

LyX itself is missing a couple features, such that even if reLyX translates
things perfectly, LyX may still have trouble reading it.
If you really need these features, you can export your final document as

For a number of commands, LyX does not support the optional argument.
Examples include

\begin_layout Itemize
-
LyX support for tables isn't perfect.
For complicated tables, use a
\begin_inset Quotes eld

Syntax Files

reLyX always reads at least one syntax file, called the default syntax file.
reLyX will read your personal syntax file if it exists; otherwise it will
read the system-wide file.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-
First, it describes the syntax of each command, that is, how many required
arguments and how many optional arguments the command takes.
Knowing this makes it easier for reLyX to copy (in TeX mode) commands that

If you import

means your LaTeX original may be overwritten (without a warning from LyX)

If you have installed Noweb and LyX successfully, whenever you open a new
document or try to change the document class of an existing one, you will
find that there are three new document classes available:

Article (Noweb)

\begin_layout Itemize
-
Book (Noweb)
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize

You must select one of them to create your literate documents from.

Note that literate documents are not limited to these three classes.
New classes can be generated from other styles like letter or in combination
with other class variations like Article (AMS).

What is LyX?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard

LyX is a document preparation system.
It is a tool for producing beautiful manuscripts, publishable books, business
letters and proposals, and even poetry.

by simply typing

There are one or two things we'd like to comment on:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard

Please note that if you include more than one file name on the command line,
LyX will load them all, though it won't display them all simultaneously.
More on that in a bit.

\begin_layout Subsection

How LyX Looks
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard

Like most applications, LyX has the familiar menu bar across the top of
its window.
Below it is a toolbar with a pulldown box and various buttons.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard

Note that there is no horizontal scroll bar.
This is not a bug or an oversight, but intentional.
When you read a book, you expect the end of a line to wrap around to the

Special Purpose

We'll point out the highlights and uses of each.
\begin_layout Subsubsection

\begin_layout Standard

The

\begin_layout Standard

You can't have an empty paragraph or an empty line.
You must put at least one

You cannot get the typewriter double quotes by typing

Here's an example:

#include <stdio.h>

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\end_layout
\begin_layout LyX-Code

\begin_layout Standard
-
Throughout the previous sections, we've been nagging you to

The big deal is that LyX differs rather strongly from the traditional
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

\begin_layout Standard

Here's a more specific example: outlines.
You have three main points in your outline, but point #2 also has two subpoints.
In other words, you have a list

\end_deeper
\begin_layout Enumerate

\begin_layout Standard
-
How do you put a list inside of a list? By now, the answer should be obvious:
you nest one list inside the other.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard

How to nest an environment is quite simple.

Note that LyX only changes the nesting depth if it can.
If it's invalid to do so, nothing happens if you try to change the depth.
Additionally, if you change the depth of one paragraph, it affects the

Nesting isn't just limited to lists.
In LyX, you can nest just about anything inside anything else, as you're
about to find out.

What You Can and Can't Nest
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-
Before we fire a list of paragraph environments at you, we need to tell
you a little bit more about how nesting works.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-
The question of nesting is a bit more complicated than a simple yes or no,
can you or can't you.
There's also the question of how.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
-
The paragraph environments in LyX can do one of three things when it comes
to nesting.
First, an environment may be completely unnestable.

Here's a list of the three types of nesting behavior, and which paragraph
environments have them:

Export the figure as Encapsulated PostScript.

the next way is recommended.

Export the figure as LaTeX.
This is just as easy to include into LyX, with the advantage that you may
use all LaTeX commands within the text inside XFig.
\begin_deeper

The disadvantage of this way is that the graphical power of LaTeX isn't
as strong as PostScript®\SpecialChar \@.
You cannot use all thicknesses of lines and, more
annoyingly, not all slopes.
This is why we recommend the third way for more complex figures.
