Re: Compilation error with lyx 2.2.2 (and not in 2.2.1)

This bug was in master, before being fixed at 338cef2a9. It seems that 
unfortunately 8603655 was backported without the fix. The solution is to 
backport 338cef2a9 (attached--Richard?). You can fix your local 
installation by replacing the symbols file with the attached.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix regression of 88603655

The XHTML entries were added in the wrong field, if they are given we need
extra xhtml requires. The order is inconsistent, there are discussions on the
list about that but for now I'll use the existing order to fix the export tests.

The format of the lib/symbols file does not support "" for empty strings.
One would have to use x for fields that are not set (this is a hack), but
actually we know how to fill the extra field.

(cherry-pick of commit 338cef2a)

You found a bug. I tried with lyx2.2, it is reproducible. Lyx2.3dev works fine 
again though.

Re: Appearance of bibliography references in LyX

[Benedict Holland]

Is this a problem with Lyx or the parser? What reference engine are you
using? Can you replicate it with biber and biblatex? I only harp on this a
bit because I ended up with huge problems with my .bib file and the
solution was to switch to biber (which AFAIK) is unsupported by lyx, though
that might have changed.

First of all, the capital "AND" is not correctly parsed (which is one bug), but 
there are other bugs concerning the last names here. The LyX parser does not 
honor grouping in {...}.

I will file a bug report.

Note that the following will work:

author= {Forero G., Luis A. and Vel{\'a}squez J., Jorge A.},

Observe that in the Spanish culture, people tend to have two family names: the 
first one is taken as the first family name of the father, and the second one 
is taken as the first family name of the mother. One example (off the top of my 
head) could be Dueñas Díez: here, the father had family name Dueñas XXX, and 
the mother had family name Díez YYY. Names are alphabetized according to the 
first of their family names. Sometimes, they skip the second family name 
(Dueñas), or just keep an abbreviation of it (Dueñas D.) -- I assume that that 
is what "Forero G." and "Velasquez J." have done.

I’m somewhat puzzled by the way bibliography references appear in LyX. I use 
JabRef for handling BibTeX files, to define labels to references, etc. Here is 
one example:



[cid:image001.png@01D23074.56483CC0]



(taken from LyX; “Fine1975” is my chosen label – actually, automatically 
defined by BibTeX...)



HOWEVER, in the LyX document, this reference appears as:



[cid:image002.png@01D23074.56483CC0] or [cid:image003.png@01D23074.56483CC0]



Why? Here is the full reference (from LyX):



[cid:image004.png@01D23074.56483CC0]



As seen, JabRef creates a key based on the first author, while LyX tends to 
insert the last author name in the preview.



But WHY? To me, it seems more logical to use the name appearing in the 
lable – that would make it easier to read the preview and check the 
author/reference.



OK – I *realize* that the label doesn’t necessarily have to be an author name. 
But in my experience, the *first* author is often the principal author, and 
perhaps he/she should be given credit for that in the preview... (The last 
author is often a supervisor and corresponding author, though).



What is the thinking behind this?

Re: controlling the space in itemize lists

[Benedict Holland]

In a perfect world, yes. From my understanding, the lyx integration of
beamer is quite complicated. Also, this makes a great deal of sense. The
itemized lists are under a frame object, so they are essentially treated as
a sub-object when the user hits tab, as they should be. It also clearly
denotes what lists and objects are under which frames and which objects
simply have their own window. I abuse this feature particularly when
presenting pictures, though I suppose I could create an empty frame and tab
the image over.

Re: Package {extract} into lyx

[Riccardo]

Thanks for the suggestions.
There is actually a Latex issue with the package *extract *handling align*
environment, corresponding to the error I read on the LyX console.
The solution (see the discussion
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/154515/why-align-environement-does-not-work-with-extract-package)
is to replace every

\begin{align*}

with

\begin{equation}\begin{aligned}

and the same for every \end{align*} statements.

My question concerning LyX, however, remains open. Since the output of
extract is a Latex file, it has to be compiled externally. Is that
possible, maybe using regular expressions, to mask the content of a LyX
file to math-only (or in general, to a chosen environment only)? For long
documents (possibly written along many months) it is a useful instrument to
filter some  undesired content into some sort of auxiliary LyX file.

In case no solution shows up, do you think it is a suitable feature to be
added to the FeaturePoll list at https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/FeaturePoll ?

Re: Appearance of bibliography references in LyX

[Benedict Holland]

My guess is that would be the cause. Since you do not have a common (in a
typical citation style of last_name, first and first_name last_name and
first_name last_name), I believe it would treat "Rana A. Find AND Frank J."
as the first name and Millero as the last name. Also, this isn't a lyx
issue. You are probably using biber and biber processes bib files a bit
differently.

John,

  Unfortunately, it makes no difference. Looks logical, though.

Re: Legal document formatting [UPDATE]

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

That actually was not minimal because the PDF was missing, but, please
find enclosed.


\pageref{lastpage} is not the same as \pageref{LastPage} :)))-O


I have also taken the liberty of (re)moving the change to "Executive
Summary" into the preamble, clicked off the default date on the first
page (and removed the (empty) \date{} from the preamble and replaced
the ERT of the vertical space with LyX formatting :-)-O

Then, I suggest, strongly, you start looking at at Markus Kohms's
titlepage package


http://www.komascript.de/node/1213
http://www.komascript.de/node/1214

and

http://www.komascript.de/node/1219

of which I personally like Markus-2 most.

It's in German though :-)-O but Markus is very helpful :-)-O

Re: controlling the space in itemize lists

Wouldn't it be simpler (for users who are creating a slide
presentation) to just include in the frame everything that comes
after the frame title, unless indicated otherwise (perhaps by an
explicit EndOfFrame mark?

Thanks to you all-- increasing the list depth did it (is that

  It is for me. When you hit return after a frame title, you're in
  the frame environment, so text typed there will appear on the
  frame. As soon as you change to any other environment, though,
  you're out of the frame environment and need to nest under it.
  
  IIRC, before Jürgen refactored the Beamer layout you had to nest
  even ordinary text. So I guess it's a well-entrenched habit for
  me.
