spellchecker for lyx 2.0 rc2

[Ganesh Sundaram]

I installed L yx 2.0 RC2 (for Windows) recently. However, I have difficulty 
getting spell checker to work. Whenever I invoke the spellchecker, Lyx displays 
a dialogbox with the message 
We reached the end of the document, would you like to continue from the 
begginning? 

I know for sure that there some spelling mistakes in the document.

Does anybody have similar difficulty?

Thanks.

Yes. See http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7431

I think, it is the same problem.
You have no dictionaries and therefor the spell checker cannot find any

Re: Natbib Citation Style (\citet command) mandatory with Biblatex module and LyX 2.0 (even RC3)

 Without the natbib=true option for biblatex in the LaTeX Preamble errors
 occur. The wiki documentation [1] does not mention natbib=true as a
 mandatory option, so has an error been introduced in the LyX 2.0 source
 code or should the wiki documentation merely be updated to indicate
 natbib=true as mandatory?

This is a misunderstanding. With the Biblatex-citation-styles module, 
natbib=true is indeed mandatory (only thing the module does is preventing that 
natbib is used, although it isn't).

If you do not need natbib citation styles, you can use biblatex without this 
module and option, but might need to insert ERT commands.

I'll clarify this on the wiki.

Translations issues in French

[Jean-Pierre Chrétien]

Hello,

This post is intended for  French-speaking users of the users list who are not 
subscribed to the lyx-fr list.


Can you take a look at message

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-fr@lists.lyx.org/msg01845.html

and the corresponding thread, especially messages

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-fr@lists.lyx.org/msg01848.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-fr@lists.lyx.org/msg01849.html

I got no answers there and maybe there are some French speaking users subscribed 
to lyx-users and not to lyx-fr.


This said, the questions in the two last messages  are less important since the 
developers abandoned the export in LaTeX of these strings which are mostly used 
in English speaking documents (achemso or agu papers). But the need for the 
interface itself remains.


The first question about the translation of Aknowledgement in Theorems AMS is 
still important for the 2.0 release.

From my understanding, 'acknowledgement' and 'remerciement' are not
perfect equivalents. You can easily see the first term used in
singular ('acknowledgement of success or of help') and in plural forms
('acknowledgements for the contribution to this paper'). (I must admit
that I'm not sure in what sense the term is used in the 'thms' class.)

As for the French term, I have a hard time finding a use case in
singular form. Even if only one person contributed, she would still
get 'des remerciements'. 'Recevoir un remerciement' just doesn't sound
French (to my non-French ear). 'Remerciements', on the other hand,
seems natural. In any case, try searching for this term on TLF [1]; it
includes several examples of both singular and plural forms.

 Planotable PlancheTableau - Tableau en planche ?

I'm not French, but the Spanish translator.
Searching for 'planotable' translation into Spanish I stumbled with:

AGUTEX also provides an additional table-making
environment,
alled planotable, for tables that may
be c
ontinued over several pages.
(http://www.mps.mpg.de/software/latex/localtex/doc/aguplus.ps page-6)

Then, it seems to be a specific 'LongTable' for AGU papers

This is a misunderstanding. With the Biblatex-citation-styles module, 
natbib=true is indeed mandatory (only thing the module does is preventing that 
natbib is used, although it isn't).

If you do not need natbib citation styles, you can use biblatex without this 
module and option, but might need to insert ERT commands.

I'll clarify this on the wiki.

Translations issues in French

[Jean-Pierre Chrétien]

Hello,

This post is intended for  French-speaking users of the users list who are not 
subscribed to the lyx-fr list.


Can you take a look at message

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-fr@lists.lyx.org/msg01845.html

and the corresponding thread, especially messages

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-fr@lists.lyx.org/msg01848.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-fr@lists.lyx.org/msg01849.html

I got no answers there and maybe there are some French speaking users subscribed 
to lyx-users and not to lyx-fr.


This said, the questions in the two last messages  are less important since the 
developers abandoned the export in LaTeX of these strings which are mostly used 
in English speaking documents (achemso or agu papers). But the need for the 
interface itself remains.


The first question about the translation of Aknowledgement in Theorems AMS is 
still important for the 2.0 release.

I'm not properly French, but I could try to take a cut at this.

As for the French term, I have a hard time finding a use case in
singular form. Even if only one person contributed, she would still
get 'des remerciements'. 'Recevoir un remerciement' just doesn't sound
French (to my non-French ear). 'Remerciements', on the other hand,
seems natural. In any case, try searching for this term on TLF [1]; it
includes several examples of both singular and plural forms.

I'm not French, but the Spanish translator.
Searching for 'planotable' translation into Spanish I stumbled with:

AGUTEX also provides an additional table-making
environment,
alled planotable, for tables that may
be c
ontinued over several pages.
(http://www.mps.mpg.de/software/latex/localtex/doc/aguplus.ps page-6)

Then, it seems to be a specific 'LongTable' for AGU papers

I hope this is a little help

From my understanding, 'acknowledgement' and 'remerciement' are not

perfect equivalents. You can easily see the first term used in
singular ('acknowledgement of success or of help') and in plural forms
('acknowledgements for the contribution to this paper'). (I must admit
that I'm not sure in what sense the term is used in the 'thms' class.)


In the Theorems class, Acknowledgment(s) is/are used primarily for 
thanks to others who contributed to the work, or perhaps to a reviewer 
who helped improve an argument.  In that sense, Remerciements seems to 
be an appropriate translation.  But you also see "Thanks" as a label for 
such acknowledgments in English.  As I recall, I came up with these 
theorem styles, way back in the day, using AMS style recommendations. 
Unfortunately, those did not come with translations.  But given the AMS 
dominance in mathematical writing, maybe now there is a French version 
of those recommendations.


As for the French term, I have a hard time finding a use case in
singular form. Even if only one person contributed, she would still
get 'des remerciements'.


As in English, even one person would get "Thanks", which is in a sense 
plural (we often say "many thanks" to so-and-so).  But, you would 
acknowledge one person, or several.

Actually, given the variety of meanings "acknowledgment" has, I doubt
any single French word can be a perfect translation in all cases.

But I agree with David L. Johnson's idea, that in the context of book
writing, the "remerciement(s)" meaning is almost certain to be the
proper one.

I couldn't have said it better. However, out of curiosity, I tried and
opened some (English) books from m y bookshelves. I noticed two things:

1) You couldn't believe how rare acknowledgments have become;
2) However, every one I found was in plural form also in English.

I note that the most relevant meaning on this page (item A3) mentions
"generally plural".

Article with Double Spacing, References with Single Spacing

[Ken]

Hi. I have set up my article with double spacing. Is there an easy way
to have the References/Bibliography section in single spacing?

Thanks,
Ken

\usepackage{setspace} in the Preamble, then, just before the References:
\singlespacing
in ERT. I think.

Modifying the Elsevier Class

[Bruce Pourciau]

The Elsevier document class

prints "Preprint submitted to Elsevier" and the date as footers
indents the first paragraph after a heading

What, if anything, can I put in the preamble to make the footers go  
away and to stop the first paragraph after a heading from indenting?

This one is caused by the default 'preprint' option. See the docs [1]
sections 2 and 4. I'm not sure how to turn it off, but I'm confident
you're not the first one looking for this. Also try your luck on
stackexchange [2], which would give you much better chances of getting
a helpful answer.

For this I suspect you would need to hack the class itself, or at
least redefine some environment. Again, try stackexchange. Regards

For the first, try giving the "final" option to the class.

For the second, try: \@afterindentfalse. If that doesn't quite work, 
mimic what's done in the indentfirst package:


\let\@afterindenttrue\@afterindentfalse
\@afterindentfalse
