This document describes Kile's DCOP interface, the parts of the Lyx protocol known by Kile and the services Kile can use from other KDE apps. 1. Kile's DCOP interface Open a file either by absolute or relative path: virtual void openDocument(const TQString &); Insert text at the cursor position in the current document; this can be used to replace Lyx's pipe mechanism: virtual void insertText(const TQString &); Same effect as openDocument; kept for backward compatibility: virtual void fileSelected(const TQString &); Close the current document: virtual void closeDocument(); Open a Kile project file, either by absolute or relative path: virtual void openProject(const TQString &); Jump to the given line in the current document; please note that the parameter is not of the type 'int' but of 'TQString' instead: virtual void setLine(const TQString &); Raise Kile's main window; does not steal the focus: virtual void setActive(); Run the given tool; the return values are { Running = 0, ConfigureFailed, NoLauncherInstalled, NoValidTarget, NoValidSource, TargetHasWrongPermissions, NoValidPrereqs, CouldNotLaunch, SelfCheckFailed}: virtual int run(const TQString &); Run the given tool with a specific configuration as second parameter; returns the same values as the function above: virtual int runWith(const TQString &, const TQString &); 2. Kile's Lyx Pipe emulation The following Lyx commands are understood by Kile. Insert the citations $Name1, Name2, ... at the current cursor postion; the citation command is hard coded to '\cite': :citation-insert:$Name1,$Name2 Insert the command \bibliography with the files named $myBib1, $myBib2, ... at the current cursor position: :bibtex-database-add:$myBib Insert the string $text at the current cursor position: :paste:$text 3. Services usable Kile Kile can ask a BibTeX manager to insert all marked citations; for example, via the menu item "LaTeX->References->cite from viewBib". Currently only KBib (http://user.digisurf.com.au/~thachly/kbib) is supported. If you want to get your application added, please contact us at kile-devel _ aht_ lists.sourceforge.net.
