Issue about list of figurestables

2008-10-10 Thread newnoise

Hello everybody!

I'm answering myself if in Lyx is possible to modify the list of
figures/table as follow. Normally you have

List of Figures

1 bla bla
2 bla bla

instead I would to have

List of Figures

Figure 1 bla bla bla
Figure 2 bla bla bla

and the same for the list of tables. I know that it is worst but I've to
respect a specific format to write down my reports...

Thanks a lot!

Re: Lyx's strange table numbering

2008-10-10 Thread newnoise

Hello Martina!

i solved the problem just with this command

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{your section title}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{your section title}

you have to write this after a section or subsection.. it should work. It
works even for list of figures, table and  nomenclature

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{LIST OF TABLES}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{LIST OF FIGURES}

 Hi
 
 I use Lyx to write a document with a lot of tables. However, I have a very
 strange problem in lyx everything works fine but as soon as I create a pdf
 (or a dvi for that matter) the table numbering is 1,3,4,5,6,7, Which
 confuses me.
 
 Furthermore, I use the section*, subsection* because I don't want my
 sections to be numbered. But then if i insert a Table of Content the
 Contents field in the pdf file stays empty while it is correctly displayed
 in lyx.

 A couple of questions for the Hebrew LyXers:

 I installed LyX on a new vista desktop (by modifying the instructions here:
 http://www.ma.huji.ac.il/~sameti/tex/lyxhebrew.html to work on Vista.)


I installed LyX on Ubuntu Linux to help you test.

 1. How do I get proper quotation marks? When I input  the output shows
 single quotation marks.

Works for me (tm). Are you sure that you are pressing Shift? Is there
a difference between with and without Shift?

 2. How do I access the different culmus fonts?


I do not see how to change the fonts at all! However, LyX does use my
system preferred font for Hebrew, which is nice.

Hi Rohit,

I suppose you work with Natbib (LyX - Document Settings - Bibliography).
For Natbib you can set the style of in-text citations (via the preamble),
which I assume you did, and set the style of the list of references by
choosing a BibTeX-Style such as unsrt.bst. You will either need to find a
style suiting your needs, or, if your needs are too special, make up your on
style. This can be done with the command line tool makebst, which you can
find via your preferred internet search engine.

Good luck ;)

This is done directly by MiKTeX, not WinEdt. Therefore LyX acts the same as WinEdt on Windows. To 
activate that, use the MiKTeX setting Install missing packages on the fly. This requires an open 
Internet connection.

Bibtex Problem

2008-10-10 Thread Daniel Herzig

---BeginMessage---
Hi,

I've got a problem inserting bibtex entries into my masterthesis.
I added a new entry into my bibtex database (using kbibtex). Within the 
program it shows up, but in the citation insert dialogue inside lyx it 
won't . It's a standard entry, and i already have a literature list added in 
the end of my document (that lists the other inserted citations 
beautifully) - is there maybe a database limit that lyx can handle?
(my database has about a hundred entries, that shouldn't be too much)

thanks in advance,
daniel

I'm using kbibtex (0.2.1) and lyx (1.5.6) for my thesis and it works fine with

I have experienced the situation you described, but only when I've added an

next time I open the insert-citation dialog, then it's there.

Hope your problem is this simple.

This is done directly by MiKTeX, not WinEdt. Therefore LyX acts the same as WinEdt on Windows. To 
activate that, use the MiKTeX setting Install missing packages on the fly. This requires an open

Bibtex Problem

2008-10-10 Thread Daniel Herzig

---BeginMessage---
Hi,

I've got a problem inserting bibtex entries into my masterthesis.
I added a new entry into my bibtex database (using kbibtex). Within the 
program it shows up, but in the citation insert dialogue inside lyx it 
won't . It's a standard entry, and i already have a literature list added in 
the end of my document (that lists the other inserted citations 
beautifully) - is there maybe a database limit that lyx can handle?
(my database has about a hundred entries, that shouldn't be too much)

thanks in advance,
daniel

I'm using kbibtex (0.2.1) and lyx (1.5.6) for my thesis and it works fine with 
178 entries.

I have experienced the situation you described, but only when I've added an 
entry to kbibtex, but not saved it. If I then save bibtex file in kbibtex, the 
next time I open the insert-citation dialog, then it's there.

Hope your problem is this simple.

Issue about list of figures

2008-10-10 Thread newnoise

Hello everybody!

I'm answering myself if in Lyx is possible to modify the list of
figures/table as follow. Normally you have

List of Figures

1 bla bla
2 bla bla

instead I would to have

List of Figures

Figure 1 bla bla bla
Figure 2 bla bla bla

and the same for the list of tables. I know that it is worst but I've to
respect a specific format to write down my reports...

Thanks a lot!

Re: Lyx's strange table numbering

2008-10-10 Thread newnoise

Hello Martina!

i solved the problem just with this command

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{your section title}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{your section title}

you have to write this after a section or subsection.. it should work. It
works even for list of figures, table and  nomenclature

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{LIST OF TABLES}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{LIST OF FIGURES}

I do not see how to change the fonts at all! However, LyX does use my

Unfortunately the tex2lyx converter cannot read utf8 yet. This is one of the 
more severe drawbacks we currently have, but until now no one volunteered to 
implement the support.

So you need to save the tex file to another encoding.

Hi Rohit,

I suppose you work with Natbib (LyX -> Document Settings -> Bibliography).
For Natbib you can set the style of in-text citations (via the preamble),
which I assume you did, and set the style of the list of references by
choosing a BibTeX-Style such as unsrt.bst. You will either need to find a
style suiting your needs, or, if your needs are too special, make up your on
style. This can be done with the command line tool makebst, which you can
find via your preferred internet search engine.

Good luck ;)

Max

Hello,

I am trying to write a paper with revtex4, and Lyx version 1.5.6 on

I am having trouble with citations. In fact the standard revtex4

the text like:
(author?) [1] -- where (author?) appears in bold.

I believe the error is because LyX is calling for the \citet{} command,
which is an (Author-year) style of citation. I have tried to change that
by tweaking options in Document->Settings->Bibliography, but that
doesn't seem to work either.

  
Hmm. It does seem to be using citet, yes. I wonder why? You might file a

This does not seem to happen in 1.6.rc3.

This is bug 5182. It will be fixed in 1.5.7 and 1.6.0, so no bugzilla report

Re: Zotero is great for organizing literature and bibliography

2008-10-10 Thread James Sutherland

This is indeed a nice tool.
However, it does not export very well to BibTeX.  It would be great if  
those in the LyX community who rely on BibTeX heavily could weigh in  
to encourage the developers of Zotero to improve BibTeX export  
capabilities.

I recommend watching there Ztour film for a quick overview.

So the point is that my pdf literature folder, which is has been a

You can export Zotero as bibtex for lyx.  etc...

Well, it reads utf8 and passes it unmodified to the .lyx

Hi Ehud,
probably i didn't understand your question because my english in not so good.
In this case, please excuse me.
You can't find MPM in Ubuntu because miktex is not included in a linux
distribution.
You can directly use latex, of course.
If you need a specific latex package you can start synaptic and
searching for it: synaptic
will tell you which linux package you need.
I hope it will be usefull for yout.
