Does this also happen, if you paste into a normal text editor?

 This also happens if I paste source code from LyX view source window

You might try to copy from the buffer. At least here on my Linux

Looking for dark background colour theme?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I know that lyx does not support colour themes in the sense that they
can be lowded directly, but I am looking for settings for dark
background colour settings. I started changing them, but it wil take
time to get all right. So: is somebody using dark background colours
and could mail me the colour settings section from the preferences
file?

In addition, it might be a nice section for the wiki, to publish some
colour themes and their corresponding colour settings.

Cheers,

Rainer

lyx 2 export to html and biblatex?

[stefano franchi]

I an experimenting with the new HTML export feature of Lyx 2.0 and I
was wondering if there  is any support for biblatex.
In my first try, I got a rather nice html file, with anchors
corresponding to the \cite commands, but no bibliography section at
the end of the file for the anchors to tink to. In other words, all
the biblio links were dead.

Is there anything special I am supposed to do to to let Lyx create the
bibliography?

key binds for font coloring

[Hauser Helmut]

Hello everybody,

I would like to mark fast certain parts in my LyX text (e.g., important 
comments, questions) with colors.
The slowly way is to mark the text, open the font dialog box and apply 
it (if the right has been chosen previously).
A littler faster is to use the apply last button and define a some 
keyboard short cuts in the bind file.


However, I would like to be able to use different colors for different 
types of comments. Therefore, the apply last button isn't really a short 
cut for me.


Have you any suggestion how I could solve that problem?


Thanks for help in advance,
All the best,
Helmut

I had the bibliography in a Lyx note and the refs to the files in the

using import package within LyX?

[James C. Sutherland]

I need to use the LaTeX import package to manage hierarchical directory
structures with graphics files distributed throughout the structure.
Furthermore, this is in a mixed LyX/LaTeX environment, where LyX gathers the
LaTeX files to create various master documents.

While the import package seems to work fine in straight LaTeX, it fails in
even the simplest LyX example, even when the LaTeX-exported file works fine.

Steps:

1. create a file master.lyx and edit the LaTeX preamble to include
\usepackage{import}
2. Insert ERT \subimport{subdir}{trythis.tex}
3. create trythis.tex in subdir
4. Compile.

This will fail.

If you export your master.lyx file to a LaTeX file, it will work.

Is there a way to get this working in LyX?

Re: lyx 2 export to html and biblatex?

[stefano franchi]

Sorry, my fault, I hadn´t realized the layout option is a Document
option, of ocurse,  not a lyx preference. I was testing it on the Help
file, which of course is read-only. It works on my file.

I think I understand the syntax of the simple customization language
used in the  layout file. What I don´t understand is why, in the
reference section, I get both the key and the reference. Shouldn´t the
key be omitted? If I have a text like:

As Franchi said in his latest and greatest  piece (2011),

with a reference like:

@Article{Franchi2011,
   author = {Stefano Franchi},
title = {My best article},
   journal = {The journal},
   volume = {1},
   number = {1},
   pages = {200--220}}

  I would expect the reference  to look like

Franchi, Stefano, My best article, The journal, 1:1, pp. 200-220.

Instead the export gives something like:

[Franchi 2011] Franchi, Stefano, My best article, The journal (2011),
1:1, pp. 200-220.

How do I get rid of the key?

Error using tocloft

success..

Richard,

is it possible to make key values accessible from within the layout
description? Since the 2011a or 2011b part of the key is constructed
by Lyx, I think, that would make it possible to write a standard
format, such as:

Franchi, Stefano, 2011a, etc.

(That would also means that the user could build an ¨improper¨
reference, of course).

You have to remember that the file is copied to and processed in a temporary

be relative from the temporary directory. Absolute paths should work, though.

  LyX?
 
  To complement Rob, Okular doesn't embed fonts: it is a PDF viewer.
  To see if your PDF contains embedded fonts, try acroread or evince.
 
 However, like the PDF-viewers acroread or evince, okular can show
 whether fonts are embedded (FileProperties), no need to change the
 viewer.
 
 ...
 
  Also the actual converter line in LyX where that should be
  changed? I find the terms in the converter window confusing: where
  is LyX-PDF?
 
 Conversion is chained, either LyX - LaTeX - PDF (pdflatex) or 
 LyX - LaTeX - PS - PDF.
 
 However, embedding of fonts is configured in the LaTeX setup - see
 your LaTeX distributions documentation for details.
 
 Günter
 

Thank you Günter. Much Appreciated.

Looking for dark background colour theme?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I know that lyx does not support colour themes in the sense that they
can be lowded directly, but I am looking for settings for dark
background colour settings. I started changing them, but it wil take
time to get all right. So: is somebody using dark background colours
and could mail me the colour settings section from the preferences
file?

In addition, it might be a nice section for the wiki, to publish some
colour themes and their corresponding colour settings.

Cheers,

Rainer

lyx 2 export to html and biblatex?

[stefano franchi]

I an experimenting with the new HTML export feature of Lyx 2.0 and I
was wondering if there  is any support for biblatex.
In my first try, I got a rather nice html file, with anchors
corresponding to the \cite commands, but no bibliography section at
the end of the file for the anchors to tink to. In other words, all
the biblio links were dead.

Is there anything special I am supposed to do to to let Lyx create the
bibliography?

key binds for font coloring

[Hauser Helmut]

Hello everybody,

I would like to mark fast certain parts in my LyX text (e.g., important 
comments, questions) with colors.
The slowly way is to mark the text, open the font dialog box and apply 
it (if the right has been chosen previously).
A littler faster is to use the apply last button and define a some 
keyboard short cuts in the bind file.


However, I would like to be able to use different colors for different 
types of comments. Therefore, the apply last button isn't really a short 
cut for me.


Have you any suggestion how I could solve that problem?


Thanks for help in advance,
All the best,
Helmut

I had the bibliography in a Lyx note and the refs to the files in the

If I turn biblatex off and activate the the biobliography inset I get

Is there any way to have some (minimal) control over the formatting of

using import package within LyX?

[James C. Sutherland]

I need to use the LaTeX import package to manage hierarchical directory
structures with graphics files distributed throughout the structure.
Furthermore, this is in a mixed LyX/LaTeX environment, where LyX gathers the
LaTeX files to create various master documents.

While the import package seems to work fine in straight LaTeX, it fails in
even the simplest LyX example, even when the LaTeX-exported file works fine.

Steps:

1. create a file master.lyx and edit the LaTeX preamble to include
\usepackage{import}
2. Insert ERT \subimport{subdir}{trythis.tex}
3. create trythis.tex in subdir
4. Compile.

This will fail.

If you export your master.lyx file to a LaTeX file, it will work.

Is there a way to get this working in LyX?

Re: lyx 2 export to html and biblatex?

[stefano franchi]

Sorry, my fault, I hadn´t realized the layout option is a Document
option, of ocurse,  not a lyx preference. I was testing it on the Help
file, which of course is read-only. It works on my file.

I think I understand the syntax of the simple customization language
used in the  layout file. What I don´t understand is why, in the
reference section, I get both the key and the reference. Shouldn´t the
key be omitted? If I have a text like:

As Franchi said in his latest and greatest  piece (2011),

with a reference like:

@Article{Franchi2011,
   author = {Stefano Franchi},
title = {My best article},
   journal = {The journal},
   volume = {1},
   number = {1},
   pages = {200--220}}

  I would expect the reference  to look like

Franchi, Stefano, My best article, The journal, 1:1, pp. 200-220.

Instead the export gives something like:

[Franchi 2011] Franchi, Stefano, My best article, The journal (2011),
1:1, pp. 200-220.

How do I get rid of the key?

Error using tocloft

[Shivaramaiah, Nagaraj]

Hi,


I want to increase the width between figure numbers and figure captions in
list of figures. But when I use tocloft, I get an error..


Here is what I am doing:

\usepackage{tocloft}

\setlength{\cftfignumwidth}{3em}


I even tried this as mentioned in some lists on the internet, but no
success..

\usepackage[subfigure]{tocloft}

\setlength{\cftfignumwidth}{3em}


I observed that even if I just include the statement \usepackage{tocloft}
without the second line, I get an error.. The error says Missing }
inserted...


Any suggestions please?

Use floatrow instead of float

Richard,

is it possible to make key values accessible from within the layout
description? Since the 2011a or 2011b part of the key is constructed
by Lyx, I think, that would make it possible to write a standard
format, such as:

Franchi, Stefano, 2011a, etc.

(That would also means that the user could build an ¨improper¨
reference, of course).

You have to remember that the file is copied to and processed in a temporary 
directory. So if \subimport points to a relative path, this path will need to 
be relative from the temporary directory. Absolute paths should work, though.

Are you sure that LyX adds the HTML/CSS?

The XHTML export does not use any external program at all, even BibTeX.

In my first try, I got a rather nice html file, with anchors
corresponding to the \cite commands, but no bibliography section at
the end of the file for the anchors to tink to. In other words, all
the biblio links were dead.

Is there anything special I am supposed to do to to let Lyx create the

This should just work, assuming you have a bibliography inset at the end 
of the paper. If it's not, can you send me the file (and corresponding 
BibTeX file)?

I had the bibliography in a Lyx note and the refs to the files in the
preamble (in a biblatex command).

If I turn biblatex off and activate the the biobliography inset I get
the proper reference section with working links.

Is there any way to have some (minimal) control over the formatting of
the references?


Thanks,

Yes. See section 5.3.12 for the details. It's a bit messy, I'm afraid. 
These are layout commands, so they can be put in a module or added to

using "import" package within LyX?

[James C. Sutherland]

I need to use the LaTeX import package to manage hierarchical directory
structures with graphics files distributed throughout the structure.
Furthermore, this is in a mixed LyX/LaTeX environment, where LyX gathers the
LaTeX files to create various "master" documents.

While the "import" package seems to work fine in straight LaTeX, it fails in
even the simplest LyX example, even when the LaTeX-exported file works fine.

Steps:

1. create a file "master.lyx" and edit the LaTeX preamble to include
"\usepackage{import}"
2. Insert ERT "\subimport{subdir}{trythis.tex}"
3. create "trythis.tex" in subdir
4. Compile.

This will fail.

If you export your "master.lyx" file to a LaTeX file, it will work.

Is there a way to get this working in LyX?

Yes I can paste to a plain text editor, then re-copy it to clipboard then it

Ok I found it works copying from the main window instead of the source view 
window in LyX.  This resolves the problem.  Thanks.

Thanks Richard, thatś what I was looking for.

I guess I should :

1.Paste the layout description from the file into the Local Layout pane,
2. validate it
3. Save it


I tried BUT...

I cannot get to 3. The layout validates, but the ¨Apply¨ button
remains greyed out.

Re: lyx 2 export to html and biblatex?

[stefano franchi]

Sorry, my fault, I hadn´t realized the layout option is a Document
option, of ocurse,  not a lyx preference. I was testing it on the Help
file, which of course is read-only. It works on my file.

I think I understand the syntax of the simple customization language
used in the  layout file. What I don´t understand is why, in the
reference section, I get both the key and the reference. Shouldn´t the
key be omitted? If I have a text like:

As Franchi said in his latest and greatest  piece (2011),

with a reference like:

@Article{Franchi2011,
   author = {Stefano Franchi},
title = {My best article},
   journal = {The journal},
   volume = {1},
   number = {1},
   pages = {200--220}}

  I would expect the reference  to look like

Franchi, Stefano, My best article, The journal, 1:1, pp. 200-220.

Instead the export gives something like:

[Franchi 2011] Franchi, Stefano, My best article, The journal (2011),
1:1, pp. 200-220.

How do I get rid of the key?

Thanks,

Stefano

How do I get rid of the key?

At the moment, you can't, mostly because if you're using author-year, 
then we need to know which one is 2011a, 2011b, etc. But if you have an 
idea here, I'm all ears.

Error using tocloft

[Shivaramaiah, Nagaraj]

Hi,


I want to increase the width between figure numbers and figure captions in
"list of figures". But when I use tocloft, I get an error..


Here is what I am doing:

\usepackage{tocloft}

\setlength{\cftfignumwidth}{3em}


I even tried this as mentioned in some lists on the internet, but no
success..

\usepackage[subfigure]{tocloft}

\setlength{\cftfignumwidth}{3em}


I observed that even if I just include the statement \usepackage{tocloft}
without the second line, I get an error.. The error says Missing }
inserted...


Any suggestions please?

Use floatrow instead of float

[Zahari Dim]

Hi
I want to use the floatrow package to configure my tables and graphs.
I include it in the preamble by:
\usepackage[capposition=top]{floatrow}
Which works good. The problem comes when I need to change the default
placement of a table to "Here definitely". Then, when I try to compile I get
the following error:

Package floatrow Error: Do not use float package with floatrow.

Is there any way to fix it?
Thanks.

Richard,

is it possible to make key values accessible from within the layout
description? Since the 2011a or 2011b part of the key is constructed
by Lyx, I think, that would make it possible to write a standard
format, such as:

Franchi, Stefano, 2011a, etc.

(That would also means that the user could build an ¨improper¨
reference, of course).

Cheers,

Stefano

Re: Error using tocloft

[Shivaramaiah, Nagaraj]

Hi,

I found the solution...

tocloft doesn't work properly with some of the classes...

I used titletoc instead..

\usepackage{titletoc}

\dottedcontents{figure}[4.5em]{}{3em}{0.75em}

\dottedcontents{table}[4.5em]{}{3em}{0.75em}

and it worked..

You have to remember that the file is copied to and processed in a temporary 
directory. So if \subimport points to a relative path, this path will need to 
be relative from the temporary directory. Absolute paths should work, though.
