 Ok i wonder if you can alter the page orientation for a single page so
 for the page with the table on make it landscape

 can anyone comment ?

In preamble:


p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }

\usepackage{lscape} If you want to turn the page on PDF too 
\usepackage{pdflscape} And on page before your float ERT: \begin{landscape} and

Thanks Julio

Yes I checked the bibtex path is accurate. However I have since changed

suffice!

 I'm sorry to hear that biblatex is not working for you. Unfortunately
 I have no idea why that would be the case, except that it seems from
 the log snippet you posted that biber may not be running at all.
 Debugging requires more info on your part, I am afraid. Can you post a

 send them to me privately. By minimal I really mean minimal: one or
 two lines for the lyx file, one ref for the bib file.
 On the other hand, if you are working against deadline, it may be
 better to keep working on Jurabib and switch to biblatex later. BTW,
 there used to be a jurabib-only mailing list, have you tried it? Or
 you may try comp.text.tex (via the google interface).

 Cheers,

In LyX, you cannot set a line-break in normal or variable width cells
easily.

Instead, you should give the collumn with the problematic cell a fixed
width (with the table config dialogue or right-click context menu).
Then, the cells in this column will exhibit automatic line breaking (and

Remove parts from a class (e.g; Elsevier)

I'd like to ask if it is possible to remove any embedded parts of a
particular class. For example, in the Document class: article(Elsevier),
the output displays Preprint submitted to Elsevier at the lower left
of the first page.

I wrote two documents using that class, but now I have set my default to
AMS's (still experimenting).

Yes, you can do this, but only by editing the document class itself. 
It'll be much easier just to switch the class and fix anything that breaks.

Re: Cannot use XeTeX fonts and Theorems (AMS) module under Ubuntu 12.04

[Alfredo Maldonado Guerra]

Hi Liviu,

Thanks a lot for your help. Adding the LyX PPA you mentioned solved the 
issue. I was able to install the latest version and was able to 
successfully compile the file I posted before.


The issue with the 2.0.2 version was quite strange because compiling 
would fail ONLY if the Use non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX) checkbox 
was active, and only if I did it under Ubuntu 12.04 (it worked fine on 
another machine with Ubuntu 11.04 and worked fine on the 12.04 machine 
BEFORE I upgraded Ubuntu). If you de-activated that checkbox the file 
would compile just fine. Anyway, it seems that whatever the problem was, 
it was solved by installing the latest version.


Thanks again for your help. Oh, and I would like to take this 
opportunity to remark on how a great piece of software LyX is. It has 
made my work much more productive and I hope to use it for many years to 
come!


Thanks,
Alfredo

parameters of listings insets

[Allen Barker]

The listings insets (at least in 2.0.3) always seem to
alphabetize their list of More Parameters.  Is there
a way to avoid that?  The Latex listings are sensitive to
the position of their parameters, so you can define, say,
a new language (from a base language) and then selectively
override certain parts.  With alphabetization you can
only override settings earlier in the alphabet.

Making every language definition part of the official
list seems like overkill in simple cases.  Even when a
language like Python is selected on the front settings
page menu, something like keywords={egg,salad} on the
More Parameters list still does not override the
keywords like it does when it occurs after the language
parameter in a Latex ERT such as:

\begin{lstlisting}[language=Python,keywords={egg,salad}]
print hello
if egg == salad:
   pass
\end{lstlisting}

Also, when entering basicstyle in the parameter window
it validates it up to basicstyl and then, when the
word is completed, it says: Unknown listing parameter
name: basicstyle_ with an underscore.  Is there some
reason for that?

I've narrowed this latter situation down.  It does not
always do that, but it does seem to repeat it if the font
size is selected as small on the menu on the first
settings page and then basicstyle is entered into the
parameter window.  It gives the Unknown message even in
a new buffer with nothing but a single listings inset in
it.

I'd suggest you report this as a bug on trac. The person who

Getting lyx 2.0.3 for Ubuntu

[kaplae01]

Could someone please reminds me where to get the latest Lyx (2.0.3) for 
ubuntu?
Their repositories are shamefully out of date (they offer 2.0.2).  I 
know it exists somewhere,

but cannot find it.  I tried to get it from getdeb but failed.

Remove parts from a class (e.g; Elsevier)

[El Merehbi, Ibrahim]

I'd like to ask if it is possible to remove any embedded parts of a
particular class. For example, in the Document class: article(Elsevier),
the output displays Preprint submitted to Elsevier at the lower left
of the first page.

I wrote two documents using that class, but now I have set my default to
AMS's (still experimenting).

Yes, you can do this, but only by editing the document class itself. 
It'll be much easier just to switch the class and fix anything that breaks.

Re: Cannot use XeTeX fonts and Theorems (AMS) module under Ubuntu 12.04

[Alfredo Maldonado Guerra]

Hi Liviu,

Thanks a lot for your help. Adding the LyX PPA you mentioned solved the 
issue. I was able to install the latest version and was able to 
successfully compile the file I posted before.


The issue with the 2.0.2 version was quite strange because compiling 
would fail ONLY if the Use non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX) checkbox 
was active, and only if I did it under Ubuntu 12.04 (it worked fine on 
another machine with Ubuntu 11.04 and worked fine on the 12.04 machine 
BEFORE I upgraded Ubuntu). If you de-activated that checkbox the file 
would compile just fine. Anyway, it seems that whatever the problem was, 
it was solved by installing the latest version.


Thanks again for your help. Oh, and I would like to take this 
opportunity to remark on how a great piece of software LyX is. It has 
made my work much more productive and I hope to use it for many years to 
come!


Thanks,
Alfredo

parameters of listings insets

[Allen Barker]

The listings insets (at least in 2.0.3) always seem to
alphabetize their list of More Parameters.  Is there
a way to avoid that?  The Latex listings are sensitive to
the position of their parameters, so you can define, say,
a new language (from a base language) and then selectively
override certain parts.  With alphabetization you can
only override settings earlier in the alphabet.

Making every language definition part of the official
list seems like overkill in simple cases.  Even when a
language like Python is selected on the front settings
page menu, something like keywords={egg,salad} on the
More Parameters list still does not override the
keywords like it does when it occurs after the language
parameter in a Latex ERT such as:

\begin{lstlisting}[language=Python,keywords={egg,salad}]
print hello
if egg == salad:
   pass
\end{lstlisting}

Also, when entering basicstyle in the parameter window
it validates it up to basicstyl and then, when the
word is completed, it says: Unknown listing parameter
name: basicstyle_ with an underscore.  Is there some
reason for that?

I've narrowed this latter situation down.  It does not
always do that, but it does seem to repeat it if the font
size is selected as small on the menu on the first

parameter window.  It gives the Unknown message even in
a new buffer with nothing but a single listings inset in

In LyX, you cannot set a line-break in "normal" or "variable width" cells
easily.

Instead, you should give the collumn with the "problematic" cell a fixed
width (with the table config dialogue or right-click context menu).
Then, the cells in this column will exhibit automatic line breaking (and
also accept manual line breaks).

Elster (Einkommenssteuererklärung) unter Linux

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Guten Morgen,

etwas off topic:


Hat jemand Elster (Einkommenssteuererklärung) unter Linux installieren 
können? Die Tübinger Finanzamt-Leute (Elster-Team) können mir nicht 
weiterhelfen. 

Stand: Ich habe eine Elster CD vom Rathaus bekommen, die aber offenbar für 
Linux Benutzer unbrauchbar ist.

Im Internet:

Funktioniert ELSTER auch unter LINUX und Macintosh? 


Antwort: 
ELSTER läuft auch unter Linux und Mac OS X und steht allen Software-
Anbietern kostenlos zur Verfügung, die ELSTER in Ihre Produkte integrieren 
möchten. Die plattformunabhängige ELSTER-Software ist derzeit aber nur für 
die Umsatzsteuer-Voranmeldung, die Lohnsteuer-Anmeldung sowie die 
Lohnsteuerbescheinigungen verfügbar. Für die Jahressteuererklärungen 
(Einkommensteuer, Umsatzsteuer, Gewerbesteuer) ist sie derzeit nur unter 
Windows verfügbar.
Ob auch das von Ihnen eingesetzte Software-Produkt ELSTER unterstützt bzw. 
eine Implementierung geplant ist, können Sie bei dem Hersteller des 
jeweiligen Produkts erfragen.
Neben Programmen wie t@x200x für Linux von Buhl-Data, die ELSTER bereits 
unterstützen, stehen auch WEB-Anwendungen von Collmex, SteuerFuchs sowie 
das Internet-Sparbuch von WISO zur Verfügung, die unabhängig vom 
Betriebssystem, ganz einfach mit einem Browser genutzt werden können. Mit 
diesen Web-Angeboten können auch Linux- und Macintosh-Anwender die 
elektronische Abgabe der Steuererklärung nutzen. Für Macintosh werden 
außerdem von Topix und ProSaldo Produkte angeboten, mit denen die 
elektronische Abgabe möglich ist: weitere Informationen zu dieser Frage »»»
Kann ich meine Steuererklärung auch per E-Mail abgeben? 


Antwort: 
Nein, die Abgabe der Steuererklärung mit ELSTER ist nur in Zusammenhang mit 
Steuer- bzw. Buchhaltungsprogrammen möglich.

Fazit:
Da ist es wohl am einfachsten, die alten Papierformulare zu verwenden?

Contrary to what the name implies, the paper class is rather exotic. I

there anything specific in the paper class you cannot find in article?

Re: Citations after changing Bibtex files

[kaplae01]

For reasons that are still mysterious to me, I have seen this behavior, 
and cured it by removing the
old call for the bibliographical database and replacing it with a call 
to the new one (the one in the old
place).  If you do not replace the call but simply ADD another bibtex 
file (the same old one but at a
different location), make sure that their ORDER is the one you want, 
namely: the one in the new
location should appear FIRST in the list of bibtex files you see when 
you click on the call for it in

your Lyx file.

I've narrowed this latter situation down.  It does not

it validates it up to "basicstyl" and then, when the
word is completed, it says: "Unknown listing parameter
name: basicstyle_" with an underscore. Is there some
reason for that?


I've narrowed this latter situation down.  It does not
always do that, but it does seem to repeat it if the font
size is selected as "small" on the menu on the first
"settings" page and then "basicstyle" is entered into the
parameter window.  It gives the "Unknown" message even in
a new buffer with nothing but a single listings inset in
it.


I'd suggest you report this as a bug on trac. The person who
wrote the listings inset isn't active anymore, so it may take some
time to get this fixed.
