I copied text from LyX into Microsoft Edge co-pilot following

I used command: "Can you check this text for spelling errors and grammer 
errors?", and passed in the text to check *after* a line break (Ctrl+Enter, I 
think), and then clicked on the start button.

The results seems to be quite good, although it "fixed" a handful of errors

Hello,

I've decided to do my note-taking (Zettelkasten) by just using pen & paper and 
when I want to produce some context I'll just use LyX - exporting to markdown 
when I want something for the web (using Tiki
CMS) or LyX/LaTeX for writing articles (pdfs), slide-presentations, books…

However, being non-native speaker/writer I do find useful to use some grammar 
checkers.

To support LanguageTool I've subscribed to Premium version, but found out that 
despite being open-source etc. it has its limitations (see e.g. 
https://github.com/valentjn/ltex-ls/issues/215).

Otoh, I've a licence for proprietary Antidote
(https://www.druide.com/en) which can check text provided as e.g.
markdown, LaTeX...

Now I wonder if you have any suggestion how to review lyx-gc to either support 
newer versions of LanguageTool or to use Antidote's ability to grammar-check 
LaTeX markup considering that lyx-gc was using chktex to do the task.

Any other suggestion how to add grammar-check feature to LyX?


Sincerely,

LyX v2.4.0 RC4 -> Table styles??

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

I've read large portions of the documentation, and am eager to try the Table 
style facility of LyX v2.4.0. I'm on Windows 11, and play with RC4.



When I do Insert/Table…, this is what I get.

[cid:image001.png@01DA9106.80E67870]



In the Style menu, “Default” is the only possible option. If I click on the 
[cid:image002.png@01DA9106.80E67870]  icon, the only possibility is to choose 
the table size.



If I insert the table and right-click on it, everything related to other styles 
than the default is grayed out:

[cid:image003.png@01DA9106.B1A0AEE0]



  *   I’m confused. What is it that I do that is incorrect?

The script that you call can run any code using the gnuplot "system"
call. That is the same as having access to a shell...

If the gnuplot files that you use are your own, or from one that you trust, 
then there is no risk... or actually the same risk that you had if you run the 
script outside of LyX.

LyX v2.4 RC4 - keyboard shortcut

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

I just discovered the “character” shortcuts Alt + C…, e.g., Alt + C R for 
mathroman in math.



  *   I’m a touch typist, so I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts over menus
  *   I’m not a pianist, so I don’t have extremely independent movement of 
fingers
  *   Because the “Alt” key is on the lefthand side of the keyboard and the “C” 
 key also is on the lefthand side, this makes it very awkward to hold down the 
Alt key and at the same time hold down the C key.
  *   This difficulty is increased by that the Alt key should be hit with the 
*middle finger* (which must be bent in an awkward way to hit the Alt key). The 
problem is much less pronounced with the Ctrl key, which is hit with the pinkie.



Probably not a popular suggestion, but it would be much simpler to use Alt with 
a key on the righthand side of the keyboard, e.g., replacing Alt+C with Alt+K.

RE: LyX v2.4.0 RC4 -> Unicode in Program Listing (again...)

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

OK… I just found I had put the “-shell-escape” string in the wrong cell…

I have now changed the preferences, and inserted this string in both of the 
XeTeX and LuaTeX converters from LaTeX to PDF.

Now, I get the (expected) warning that using the “-shell-escape” string is 
*dangerous*.

Question 1:

  *   Dangerous, because LyX is more likely to *crash*, or
  *   Dangerous, because it opens up my computer to hacking??

Experience – here is some listing in LyX:
[cid:image003.png@01DA90D8.A23B6C70]
This expression is taken from a Jupyter Notebook running in VSCode (language: 
Julia), where the symbols are created by “\frakm + TAB \dot + TAB = m\dot + TAB 
v”
…and here is what it looks like when I use XeTeX/LuaTeX:

[cid:image004.png@01DA90D8.F0F27C50]

Questions 2:

  *   Could I expect a better response if I install a font that supports 
Unicode, and specifies this font in the fonts scheme of Listings?
  *   If I install such a font with Unicode support (e.g., JuliaMono), would 
that rule out using XeTeX so that I should use LuaTeX?

Question 3:

  *   If I should use LuaTeX, how can I change LyX so that issuing command 
Ctrl+r produces the PDF using LuaTeX?

RE: LyX 2.4.0 RC4 - bug? Abstract headline is missing + bits and pieces

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

A difference - perhaps -- between a missing Abstract label and the Chapter 
label in *LyX* is that sections headings are quite big compared to the standard 
text, so it is easy to see the difference. While the abstract text font is only 
marginally smaller than the standard text font, so it is more difficult to see 
what it is.

*If* one sets "abstract=on" to enforce "Abstract" to be printed in the PDF 
file, it would perhaps be natural if this text also shows up in LyX.
--
Anyways, this is not a major problem -- I can always switch to the standard 
article style.
--
Thanks a lot for your great job with creating v. 2.4. I really appreciate all 
the work you have put into it, and look forward to start reading the manuals. 
Although I've used LyX for some 10 years or so, I think it will be useful to 
re-read the documentation to better familiarize myself with what is new.

So far,...
* I greatly appreciate that you have not changed the main parts of the user 
interface. I hate it when developers come out with a new version of a tool, and 
the user doesn't recognize where the menus are, etc.

* I have already used the improved system for finding missing citations and 
broken references.

* The search system looks improved.

* These are the main things I have had time to notice in some 3 days, while 
converting a large portion of my key documents from v. 2.3.x to v. 2.4
--

As a person who combines text with loads of math and computer code...
* The Program Listing settings ---
--> Do I set them individually every time I insert a program listing?
--> Or are they document settings, so that if I change one setting (e.g., font 
setting), then this takes precedence for the entire document?
--> The above question is related to how to keep consistency in listings...

Also, I'm using a couple of computer languages that are not supported by 
Program Listing...
* Modelica (for specifying mathematical models)
* Julia

Is there an ASCII file where it is possible to add specifications for more 
computer languages so that they show up in the Program Listing settings?

For some reason, scrclass.inc explicitly removes the heading:

Input stdstruct.inc

Style Abstract
     LabelType No_Label
End

If we're agreed that's wrong, it's easy enough to fix.

RE: LyX 2.4.0 RC4 - bug? Abstract headline is missing

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

As far as I know, KOMA is independent of LyX. So I don't understand why 
inserting the label "Abstract" in the LyX *editor* can be seen as overriding 
KOMA's default settings. 

At least not if the user inserts the command "abstract=on" in the settings.

No, we don't want to override KOMA's default settings, which are well 
rationalized in the manual.

Aha! It only adds "Abstract" to the PDF file when using KOMA-script, not in the

For the Standard Article style, "Abstract" is inserted into the LyX editor by 
default. I find that clarifying, and it would be nice if the same happened when 
using KOMA-script.

Note that the abstract=on option only changes the (pdf) output, it does not 
change how the document looks in lyx.

OK -- in 2.3.7, I did not use KOMA script article, but standard LaTeX article. 
And there the label shows up in my installation. 

The "problem" to me is that it is not just that the "label" is missing in the

I tested in 2.3.x and it does not show there as well.
So at least the change is not specific to lyx 2.4.

If you change to the standard class then the label is there both for
2.3 and 2.4.

So the question is if the label should be there for consistency.
I am inclined to say yes but I have no strong feelings about this. :-)

RE: LyX 2.4.0 & Jupyter Notebooks

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

Experimenting with LyX 2.4 RC4... Specifically, I'm testing whether there is 
Unicode support.



  *   I have successfully pasted in a Unicode character from VSCode into a LyX 
2.4 RC4 document, so this seems to work:

[cid:image001.png@01DA8B60.FFE8A950]

Here, the first symbol is produced in VSCode using "\frakm + TAB", and then 
pasted into a LyX text line.  The second occurrence (slightly different in 
form) is produced as in-line math "\mathfrak{m}".



I can also decorate this symbol with a dot on top, "\frakm + TAB \dot + TAB" in 
VSCode. When I paste this symbol into LyX, the dot on top of "\frakm + TAB" is 
somewhat skewed to the right.



OK - so Unicode in LyX seems to work. It also works if I preview the document 
as a PDF file.

--

Next, I try to use Unicode in listings. That does not work at the moment... 
Here is what I do:

  *   Insert/Program Listing
  *   I paste the "\frakm + TAB" symbol from VSCode into this box.
  *   This gives a paste error message:

[cid:image003.png@01DA8B61.C58642D0]



  *   I then go to Document/Settings/Listings, and change Syntax Highlighting 
Package to *minted*, which provides a message:

[cid:image004.png@01DA8B62.5053B550]



I don't understand this message...

  *   I'm on Windows, and the documentation says that Pygments driver is 
installed by default (??). Anyways, reading this warning...
  *   Where am I supposed to place command "\AtBeginDocument{...}"?? Are we 
talking about putting this command in the Document/Settings/LaTeX Preamble 
window??? Or should I open the LyX document in an ASCII editor and add the 
line... somewhere?
  *   What is the "driver command", i.e., the string I'm supposed to insert 
instead of `driver`? Is it simply `pygmentize`??

  *   Anyways, for now I just neglect this command, and go to 
Tools/Preferences/File Handling/Converters, and scroll down to

[cid:image002.png@01DA8B63.945591F0]

Here I have changed Converter from `pdflatex $$i` to what is shown above.



When I go back to the document and insert a listing, and then paste the Unicode 
symbol into the listing, I get the same error message with paste error as shown 
at the top of this e-mail.



--

So - I'm stuck. The only possible reason for the problem now are:

  *   I need to find the correct place to insert the string 
"\AtBeginDocument..." string with the correct `driver` (whatever that is), and 
live with the warning of mint & `-shell-escape` causing a security risk. 
Perhaps this will solve the problem.
  *   Or: it is not possible to use Unicode characters in LyX 2.4 listings.



Any suggestions?

RE: LyX 2.4.0 & Jupyter Notebooks

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

> knitr integration...

Thanks.

I don't use R, so I guess knitr is not useful to me. [In in the JU corner of 
Jupyter...] There is also Quarto which is developed in the R community, 
although it can also be used with other languages. Don't know how Quarto scales 
to large documents, though... My experience is that Jupyter Notebooks start to 
become slow with documents in the order of some 30 pages (i.e., with plenty of 
plots), while LyX is still quick with documents in the order of 1000 pages.

You might also want to check how knitr integrates into lyx (basically embedding 
R code into lyx).

RE: LyX 2.4.0 & Jupyter Notebooks

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

OK -- so I could just as well start using RC4?

I'm not super software savvy, so I have been hesitant not knowing:
* Can I install RC4 and still use LyX 2.7.1?
* Do I have to uninstall RC4 and install the official release when it becomes 
available?
* With 2.7.1, I have used MikTeX. Should I still use MikTeX, or use something 
else? (Does MikTeX also come with LuaTeX, XeTeX, TeXLive, or whatever?)

If these three bullet points do not cause any problems, I may try to download 
and use RC4.

I don't think there have been any major changes in that machinery. And there 
definitely won't be any before the final release. Changes from RC4 to the 
official release are going to be pretty minor (as one would hope).

The most plausible way to do this would be to use an external inset. 
That's the way that Lilypond files (music) are included, for example. 
Such insets are user definable. Basically, you tell LyX how to convert the file 
to something LaTeX can process. This is discussed in section
7.1 of the Embedded Objects manual. You can use the existing xtemplate files as 
a starting point, too.

LyX 2.4.0 & Jupyter Notebooks

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

Is there a way to import Jupyter Notebooks into LyX 2.4.0 (when v. 2.4.0 is 
released)? 

I'm particularly interested in the possibility to...

* link the notebooks into LyX so that I always get the latest 
version/computations in the notebook, i.e., preferably not a static import

* inclusion of mark-up text with headlines, math, etc.

* inclusion of input and output cells, with figures, etc.

* linked-in notebooks would be multipage. Perhaps it should be possible to 
embed the notebooks in some theorem-like environment.

OK -- don't know if this is possible, but it would go a long way towards 
getting a literal programming environment.

Riki,

Just upgraded from 2.3.7.1 to 2.4.0~RC4 on Slackware64-15.0 on a ThinkPad T430; 
no bugs seen crawling around. The issues that bugged me in 2.3.6.2 and
2.3.7.1 (not finding biblatex.sty and biber, needing to use the File menu to 
export a pdflatex because c-x h wouldn't work) are gone.

I had a concern about Tools -> Preferences -> Look & Feel -> Display showed 
Default when I use emacs turned out that (at least on my system) emacs key 
chords are the default.

Congratulations and many thanks to all devs.

Best regards,

Rich

If you by "current release" mean LyX 2.3.7 (of January 2023), have you looked 
at the LyX documents linked under Help? They are relatively comprehensive.

LyX 2.3.7 & BibLaTeX?

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

I'm on LyX 2.3.7, eagerly awaiting the release of 2.4 (whenever that will be).

While I'm waiting, I'm starting to use Zotero to manage bibliography files, and 
had some help from a more IT knowledgeable colleague. He set up Zotero to store 
bibliography files as BibLaTeX. Some experience:


  1.  In the past, I have used the AGSM bibliography style file. This style 
doesn't seem to work with BibLaTeX?? Is there another, similar bibliography 
style that works with BibLaTeX (i.e., Harvard style, etc.)?? [One change from 
BibTeX to BibLaTeX seems to be change of field name "year" to field name 
"date"??)
  2.  One *bad* (?) experience with Zotero is that it *changed* all the 
bibliography *label* names. I assume this means that all past LyX/LaTeX 
documents I have written will show up with *broken* references if I switch to 
the new *.bib file generated by Zotero.

To repeat: my question is:

  *   Is there a BibLaTeX compatible bibliography style file with LyX 2.3.7 
that works similarly to how AGSM works?
  *   Or do I have to wait for LyX 2.4 for BibLaTeX compatibility?

Thanks,
BL

use lualatex and unicode-math. Write into the preamble

\usepackage{unicode-math}

\newcommand\plimsoll{\ensuremath{\scriptscriptstyle\circlehbar}}

I think it's just a matter of choosing the right "theorems..." module:

Scroll down to the end to see the various "theorems..." options. They are well 
explained, and I guess you should find one that does what you want.

Hello Bernt,

Note that there are no theorem layouts that are defined in the article class, 
you are probably using a theorem module.

Go to Documents->Settings-Modules and see which module you are using.
What you are looking for is a module that defines the theorems to be numbered 
by type, so for example you can select the Theorems (Numbered By Type) module.

If you also want the theorems to be conutered within another counter (say 
section), then there are also modules for that too.

To get more information about modules, you can read section 3.1.2.3 LyX's 
User's Guide, which can be found in Help->User's Guide.

There are also a few examples for the usage of modules in different sections.

Regards,
Udi

(Standard Class with Extra Fontsizes)”.

Currently, all “theorem-like” elements use the same counter, e.g., Examples,

The LyX project itself does not have an official view about TeX distributions, 
but our experience has tended to be that TeXLive is more reliable than MikTeX 
on Windows.

RE: Simplify complex graph from matplotlib

[Bernt Lie]

I had a similar problem lately: I produced a scatterplot using matplotlib (or 
rather: the matplotlib back-end for Plots in Julia), and stored the file as 
*.svg – with a file size of some 5 MB. I tried to subsample the plot, e.g., by 
using only 10% of the points. Still a relatively large plot file.

In the end, I saved the file as a *.png file, which took some 150-200 kB. Not 
as pretty, but close enough.

Subject: Simplify complex graph from matplotlib

Don't know if this is more appropriate for lyx or mpl.  I have a couple of 
graphs with a large number of points.  They were exported from matplotlib as 
pdf, and produced large files.  After including in lyx, the resulting pdf takes 
a long time to load.

The plots don't really need so many points at all.  Other than going back to 
the mpl source to plot fewer points, is there a way to fix this?

Thanks,
Neal

RE: LyX 2.3.5

[Bernt Lie]

Hm… here is what I did:

  1.  I first installed MikTeX to the default path that it suggested, and used 
my private path for LyX. No success.
  2.  Next, I deleted LyX, and tried to re-install it to the default path. But 
the default path never showed up; no matter whether I deleted every file 
related to LyX, it still stuck to the original path that I had defined.
  3.  I then entered “regedit”. I deleted every mention of LyX in various forms 
from “regedit”.
  4.  Next, I tried to reinstall LyX. Now it suggested a default path. I 
installed LyX to this default path.
  5.  Now, it seems to work.

In summary: LyX doesn’t properly clean up the registry when I uninstall it.

Another observation…

  *   Before I deleted the registry elements and installed LyX to my private 
directory, installation of LyX took some one hour or something.
  *   After I deleted elements from “regedit”, the installation took a couple 
of minutes.

So… I have uninstalled both MikTeX and LyX, and try to re-install them.

With MikTeX, I do the following:


  1.  Choose to install it under directory 
“C:\\Program_Files\MikTeX\MikTeX_2_9” instead of the default location 
(“…\AppData\Local\Programs\MikTeX 2.9\”)
  2.  Settings: Preferred paper size – A4, Install missing pagackages 
on-the-fly: Yes
  3.  After MikTeX has installed packages, I check for updates. There were 8 
updates, which I installed from “A random package repository on the internet”.

Next, I install LyX 2.3.5:

  1.  I install LyX in directory “C:\Program_Files\LyX\LyX_2_3”
  2.  The LyX installer finds MikTeX at 
“C:\Program_Files\MikTeX\MikTeX_2_9\miktex\bin\x64”.



  1.  LyX takes some time to install, and downloads some missing packages:



[cid:image001.png@01D63F1F.6D978170]

  1.  When LyX has been installed, I try to open a template. Result:

[cid:image002.png@01D63F1F.6D978170]

I do a search for file IEEEtran.cls, and it is there:
[cid:image003.png@01D63F1F.6D978170]


Questions:

  1.  Why doesn’t LyX find this file?
  2.  Is the problem that I have not chosen the default installation path of 
LyX and/or MikTeX?

[KZLG]
I just had the same error earlier this morning. From my experience:

  1.  Probably because the filename database has not been updated. This may 
happen when you install MikTeX as an administrator (user who has administrative 
rights), but call LyX as that same user but without invoking his administrative 
rights; or if you have followed some variant of this.
In general, it is best to install as an administrator but call your 
applications as an ordinary user (i.e. user without any administrative rights), 
and so keep a strict difference between the two types of users.
  2.  Perhaps. You might try it if you cannot follow the advice under A.

It's been quite a while since I used MikTeX, but I vaguely recall that

No, LyX will fail again as soon as Inkscape 1.0 is installed (and you need to 
reconfigure). Inkscape 1.0 also does not work with LyX for other reasons 
(replacing the reconfigure script does not suffice to fix that).

I suggest you only upgrade to Inkscape 1.0 after LyX 2.3.5 is out (which will 
be very soon anyway).

This will be fixed in LyX 2.3.5.

LyX configuration needed to be adapted to inkscape 1.0 (which changed the 
registry entry among other things).

Workaround is to downgrade Inkscape to 0.96.

Directory for BibTeX style files -- where do I set it?

[Bernt Lie]

I’m using LyX 2.3.4.3 on Windows 10, with MikTeX distribution 2.9.

Lately, LyX has had problems with finding the location of *.bst styles in 
MikTeX. I had to manually browse through the MikTeX directory on my computer to 
find the directory of the relevant *.bst files. Also, the entire path of the 
directory shows up in the style field:
[cid:image002.jpg@01D60749.26083F10]

In documents, the Style shows up without the path (e.g., just “agsm”).

Question:

  1.  What is going on?
  2.  Where in LyX do I set the path for *.bst files so that LyX lists all 
styles?

[I also tried to update MikTeX, but it has one of it’s hick-ups. Tells me 
“Something went wrong”, and then ask me whether I want to se more information 
(“Yes”, “No”, etc.). When I click on “No”, the same message pops up 2 more 
times... Very annoying.]

LyX 2.3.x: how to insert externally generated code for table?

[Bernt Lie]

I’m running a program which generates LaTeX code for a table.

Question:

  *   How can I insert this table into LyX?
  *   I want the table to have the same type of preview as Tables I set up 
manually inside of LyX
  *   I want the table to be a floating table.
  *   Such tables may be large, so I may want to make it multi-page, and 
possibly rotate it.

Example:


\begin{tabular}{rrr} \hline\hline \textbf{Temperature [K]} & \textbf{Pressure 
[bar]} & \textbf{Specific volume liq [m3/kg.1e3]} \\ \texttt{Float64} & 
\texttt{Float64} & \texttt{Float64} \\\hline 273.15 & 0.00611 & 1.0 \\ 275.0 & 
0.00697 & 1.0 \\ 280.0 & 0.0099 & 1.0 \\ 285.0 & 0.01387 & 1.0 \\ 290.0 & 
0.01917 & 1.001 \\\hline\hline \end{tabular}

Can I insert the table within LyX? Or do I have to insert the table in a LyX 
document and insert the code via an ASCII editor?

Thanks for suggestions!

Thanks for all your hard work!

I downloaded the *.exe install version on Windows 10 using Edge (Chromium). 
When I tried to open the downloaded file, Edge told me that if I opened the 
file, it could destroy my computer.

I assume this is just a warning because the *.exe file has not been registered 
in a way that Edge can recognize it??

What I proposed above works. Put the cursor in the "Geometry" cell, right 
click, select Settings..., and in the Column settings section of the Table 
Settings tab set a fixed width for the column. That enables the Vertical 
alignment control, which you set to Middle. You might want to horizontally 
center as well; that's up to you.
I've attached a modified version of the MWE.

LyX 2.3.3 & chapter appendices

Happy New Year to LyX:ers.



I’m about to reorganize some lecture notes, and would like to have the 
possibility of chapter appendices.

Perhaps do one and export to LaTeX and compile.

If that works, find how and where this is inserted (in the .tex file) and add

If that compiles, run a tex2lyx on it.  If that works, it should be a

LyX & compiling conference proceedings from PDF files

[Bernt Lie]

I’m attempting to compile conference proceedings using LyX 2.3.3.



I have successfully inserted one PDF-file into LyX (Insert/File/External 
Material). Some questions:



1.   Do I have to insert the files one by one (some 40 files), or can I 
insert all at the same time? [I guess I can experiment with this...]

2.   The pdf files are without headers/footers, and without page numbers.

a.   Is it possible to have the files show up at 100% size (they are A4) 
within my A4 size LyX file, and overlay headers and footes defined in the LyX 
file?

b.   Is it possible to overlay page numbers from LyX, i.e., using a global 
counter in LyX (say, preface with roman page numbering i-iv, then papers with 
arab page numbers, say Paper 1 p. 1-6, Paper 2 p. 7-11, etc.)?



Thanks for your suggestions!

Use Ctrl+m to switch to in-line math. Use Ctrl+Shift+m to switch to displayed

Use the following sequences:

RE: preparing math exams

[Bernt Lie]

The free drawing program Inkscape is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. 
There are extensions (plug-ins) for Inkscape that allows you to write LaTeX 
math in Insckape and have it generate math expressions as drawing objects – I 
use WriteTeX.

The manual for the latest version of LyX also indicates that it is possible to 
write LaTeX syntax in text fields in Inkscape, import the resulting SVG file 
into LyX, and have it typeset as LaTeX math in LyX. I haven’t figured out how 
to do that, but that would be the ideal solution (in the sense that one could 
make LaTeX text in figures have the body font size of the main text...).

Inkscape uses SVG (Structured Vector Graphics) as native file format. This 
works mostly fine.

To prepare functions, etc.: use a math script language (e.g., MATLAB, Python, 
Julia; the two latter are free – personally, I use Julia) and produce a plot, 
then save it as an svg file, importat it into Inkspace, and modify it to your 
hearts desire... changing colors, line types, line thickness, axes color, etc., 
and add text if you need.

I use LYX 2.3.1-1 on 64 bit Windows 10. In my documents, LaTeX messes up the

I use LYX 2.3.1-1 on 64 bit Windows 10. In my documents, LaTeX messes up the 
references to the figures. From past experience, this may have to do with where 
in the figure float the label is placed.



Here is an example of one of my figure floats:

[cid:image002.jpg@01D4BE35.9B862170]



Question: is the placement of the label the cause of my problems? Should I 
place the label first in the figure float, or other places?



Thanks for suggestions!

LyX 2.3.1: bug with preview of \oiint... what about LyX 2.3.2?

[Bernt Lie]

I’m still using LyX 2.3.1 on one PC. There appears to be a bug on Win 10 64bit, 
latest version. If I insert \oiint in a math expression, nothing is displayed.



[cid:image001.png@01D4ACF6.B3925130]



However, the preview works: If I click outside of the math expression, I get 
the expected result.

LyX, Program Listing, adding support for Julia, Modelica?

[Bernt Lie]

I use LyX 2.3.1 on Windows 10 (and also LyX 2.2.3 on the same platform).


I’m including some Julia code in my document (Program Listing), but there is no 
built-in support for Julia (syntax highlighting, etc.) at the moment. I have 
read somewhere that there exists experimental (?) support for Julia...

  *   Is this true?
  *   If so, where can I get hold of the Julia “plug-in” support file?
  *   How do I install it?



I’m also including code for the Modelica language. Is there LyX support for 
Modelica? If not, it is difficult to develop it? (I have partial (?) Modelica 
support for Notepad++ in some XML file, and there is support for Modelica in 
Jupyter Notebook...).

For your interest, I recently uploaded version 3 of my diffcoeff package
to CTAN. This provides a command \diff for writing differential
coefficients (derivatives) with multiple options for tweaking the
display, and a command \dl for writing differentials with an option for
inserting a specified amount of space before the differential --
something you might want to do in an integral for instance to separate
the integrand from the dx.

Something I always do, and it might help you too. Before including any 
Inkscape-constructed image in LyX or HTML, I always
File->Clean_up_document and File->Save_as->Plain_SVG. This tends to get
all the "inkscapisms" out of the image. Whenever I have problems with text not 
fitting in boxes in the ultimate viewer (a web page or PDF), I always convert 
text to curves and then once again clean up and save as plain.

I'm a little confused. I have LyX 2.3.1 installed on two computers, both

Some arrows show up with "broken neck" on one computer, but not on the other. I 
sync the LyX documents and the figures among my computers using OneDrive.

On the computer where the "broken neck" persists, if I open the drawing in 
Inkscape, ungroup elements, and group them again before saving the drawing, 
then the drawing becomes ok. Puzzling.

The graphic from the tickets shows up incorrectly in 2.2.3 but fine on
2.3.1 under Win10. If I understood the fix correctly, then it is to use the 
converter from SVG -> PNG instead of the qt internal one. Hence it should be

LyX & svg files

[Bernt Lie]

I use LyX 2.3.1 on Windows 10, 64 bit.

It seems like LyX sometimes has problems handling SVG files, specifically lines 
with arrow heads.

Here is one example; the original file in Inkscape:

[cid:image003.jpg@01D4833F.16CE63B0]

In Inkscape, this looks fine. However, when I import this svg file into a LyX 
float figure, this is what it looks like:

[cid:image004.jpg@01D4833F.16CE63B0]

Observe that some of the arrowheads seems to have a “broken neck”...

If I generate a pdf from Inkscape and import the drawing as a pdf into LyX, 
then there is no problems. But then the preview in LyX looks pixelated.

Q: where is the problem? Is it Inkscape that uses corrupted svg files, or is it 
LyX that doesn’t properly handle arrow heads?

RE: PDF graphics is blurred in LyX when scaled

[Bernt Lie]

I think that the problem here is that even when the imported graphics is *.svg 
file or a *.pdf file generate from a *.svg file (e.g., using Inkscape) -- and 
hence definitely is vector graphics, the preview in LyX often looks blurred 
when the LyX preview is scaled up to be visible on high resolution screens.



As an example, the following drawing has been made in Inkscape as purely vector 
graphics drawing (*.svg, saved as *.pdf at 300 dpi). When scaling it to 200% in 
LyX, it starts to look muddled – LaTeX math which is produced as vector 
graphics starts to look unreadable on screen:



[cid:image003.jpg@01D47A8E.3F65AE00]



Maybe this helps if I save the pdf file at a higher resolution? I.e., maybe 
Inkscape converts the drawing to bitmapped PDF?



I would have loved to import the file as a *.svg file, but the LyX previewer 
and PDF generator sometimes messes up the arrows :-( .

Re: auto fixing mispelled words

[Bernt Lie]

I sympathize with those who need auto correction. For myself:
* I'm decent with touch typing
* However, when typing on "cheap" keyboards, I do more mistakes... some 
keyboards may fail to register a key stroke if hit slightly off center

However, I have become very sceptical towards auto correction based on 
experience with Word+Outlook and smartphones...
* Word tries to auto detect language, and does a poor job - resulting in 
numerous problems
* I have tried to tailor make Office auto correction, but my settings often 
have been reset the next time I use the tool, or after upgrades.
* Auto correction may introduce bad mistakes that I sometimes don't see... my 
smartphone once auto-changed the name of an ice cream chain to the Spanish word 
for one-night stand in a communication in Spanish... which was not taken well...
* I often use technical words that are not in the dictionary; auto correction 
would then be disastrous.

So, for me, auto-correction would be a total turn-off unless I could turn it 
off, and *know* that my setting was not changed by "the system".

I would rather live with my few mistakes, than use a system that introduce 
arbitrary mistakes that were not intended.

No.  The computer would not _rearrange_ letters.  It would effect a
string subsitution, oblivious to whether any of the letters in the
replacement string appeared in the original string.

It doesn't just happen.  The screen displays what you entered.

> Is that mistake a matter of 'learning'?

Yes, unequivocally.

Not necessarily. There are several forms of mild dyslexia in which the person 
swaps letters or even "fingers" (typing an "o" instead of an "a," for example). 
I know this from experience because I have the problem. And yes, working hard 
and being attentive solves many (not all, mind you) of the "accidents," but 
still... I've been writing in computers almost every day for the last 30 years 
and still have many silly "typos:" in my case it's not a matter of practice.

And that's just a first point. An autocorrect tool can also be useful for 
people without those problems: As a matter of fact, LyX actually perform an 
autocorrect every time it changes two dashes into an en-dash and three into an 
em-dash. Maybe this feature could be generalized. Think of changing the first 
character of a phrase into caps, for example, or setting a substitution pattern 
to change a couple of characters into a symbol or a longer text you need to 
insert several times in the document. It doesn't need to be something fixed (in 
fact, it shouldn't!), just a table that any user can fill at will: first 
column, what you want to substitute, second column, the substitution, and then 
the system perform those changes in real time. LibreOffice has such tool and 
yes, most of the elements in their default table are just a list of stupid 
emojis, but that does not mean the feature is stupid.

Just my two cents!

Typing is a learned skill, involving multiple processes.  I don't know

If it's truly a matter of your not understanding the difference
between “informazioen” and “informazione”, then you need to look into
how better to learn orthography.

RE: LyX 2.3.1: bug in "\text" mode of equations

[Bernt Lie]

Yes, I confirm that this fixes the problem:
* In "Documents > Settings... > Formats", I change "Default output set to" from 
"PDF(XeTeX)" to "Default".
NOTE: this does not have immediate affect! I need to:
* save the document with this settings change,
* close LyX,
* open LyX
* open the changed document

I'm curious: 
* why on earth should the behavior in LyX be related to the chosen output 
format?
* does changing from "PDF(XeTeX)" to "Default" have any side effects?

Thanks. I think I have narrowed down the problem to "Default output set to " 
with "PDF (XeTeX)" in

Document > Settings... > Formats.

Can you confirm that the problem goes away if you use the "Default" 
output format? (To force LyX to regenerate the preview you can just save the 
file under a new name after you made the change.)

RE: LyX 2.3.1: bug in "\text" mode of equations

[Bernt Lie]

Here is my "template_test.lyx" file, which contains displayed math with \text{} 
containing letter "ø". This letter is not displayed wieh I have enabled 
"instant preview". It does show up when preview in LyX is turned off. In any 
way, it shows up in the generated PDF file.

Still, it annoys me that it doesn't show up when I turn on "instant preview".

Any clues? I use the latest version of Windows 10 (v 1803) 64 bit, LyX 2.3.1 64 
bit, version from September 2018 (?). 

Suggestions are appreciated.

You can also try whether making a copy of your problem document and opening the 
copy makes a difference. As far as I remember this should force LyX to 
regenerate the preview.

Hm... I opened a new document of the template, and in this new template, the 
preview works. But it does not work in another document from the same template, 
where I'm in the process of inserting text from an OCR scanned paper copy of a 
document I wrote 30 years ago... (using Adobe Acrobat for OCR).

This is weird. Maybe some junk from the imported, scanned document? I'll test

I cannot reproduce the problem. The ø in the attached file shows with instant 
preview turned on.

This is on Windows 10 Pro 64bit version 17134.345. ("latest version" is a bit

LyX 2.3.1: bug in "\text" mode of equations

[Bernt Lie]

I use LyX 2.3.1 (64bit) on 64bit Win 10, latest version, and have Instant 
preview turned on.

I need to insert some text in an equation. Two options:
* \text{my text}
* \mathrm{text}

With \text{}, space is automatically handled. With \mathrm{}, I need to use the 
escape character (backslash) to get space. There are probably also some spacing 
differences -- I assume \text{} is the correct choice if I write text and not 
math.

There is a problem with \text{} if I use Instant preview *on*...: if I include 
character "ø" in the text string, it shows if I turn Instant preview *off*, but 
is removed if I turn Instant preview *off*.

The generated PDF file *includes* the symbol "ø", but ... it does not show up 
in the preview with Instant preview turned *on*. 

Presumably, this is a problem with other non-English ASCII characters, too?

Re: LyX -- search & replace in math

$p$... either Ctrl+m (in-line) or Ctrl+shift+m (displayed)... then p, then 
Space to get out of math mode.

$\cal{M}$... same as above to enter math mode... then \cal + Space to get into 
the {} bracket... then M, then Space to get out of the {} bracket, followed by 
Space to get out of math mode.

RE: LyX -- search & replace in math

[Bernt Lie]

  *   Since they _are_ different, depending of the 'Ignore format', why would 
one expect to behave the same? That does of course not mean, that there are no 
errors in the code.

That is reasonable.


  *   If you check "Ignore format", the searching is done on text which would

suitable as input for latex.

This explanation is not very clear. In a text document, I checked “Ignore 
format”, and when searching, LyX found none of the expressions I searched for 
[replace $p$ by $\mathfrak{p}$]. When I unchecked “Ignore format”, LyX worked 
as expected.

[Still, it is not clear what is meant by “format”.]

Next, I tested this on a much longer document (close to 700 pages). With 
unchecking “Ignore format” and searching for $\cal{M}$, LyX skipped this LaTeX 
code in a table at the beginning of the document (a “nomenclature” table), but 
found this code in a paragraph in the middle of the document – and also found 
several subsequent occurrences.

Finally, I searched for the same LaTeX string [$\cal{M}$], but this time with 
*checked* “Ignore format”. Contrary to in the test document (searching for 
$p$), this time, LyX found at least one occurrence – but not the first one 
found with unchecked “Ignore format”.
--
To summarize:

  *   Searching for $\cal{M}$ in *math*, and with unchecked “Ignore format” did 
not find occurrences in table cells, but hopefully found occurrences in text 
flows.
  *   With checked “Ignore format”, LyX sometimes found LaTeX math code, and

Since they _are_ different, depending of the 'Ignore format', why would one 
expect
to behave the same?
That does of course not mean, that there are no errors in the code.

If you check "Ignore format", the searching is done on text which would be 
exported as
normal text.
The other case is searching on text which would be suitable as input for latex.

If I have text with $p$ and $\mathfrak{p}$, then if I try to replace

HOWEVER, if I try to replace $p$ with $\mathfrak{p}$, then the latter becomes 
$\mathfrak{\mathfrak{p}}$...

In an ideal system, I guess $\mathfrak{\mathfrak{p}}$ should be simplified to 
$\mathfrak{p}$, etc. for similar cases.

Hi Bernt,

Go to Edit > Find & Replace (Advanced), and under the Settings tab of the panel

$\mathfrak{\mathfrak{p}}$...

In an ideal system, I guess $\mathfrak{\mathfrak{p}}$ should be simplified to 
$\mathfrak{p}$, etc. for similar cases.

Hi Scott,

I have tested possibilities. What I need to do, works if I *check*:

* Case sensitive (standard menu)
* Ignore format (settings menu)
* Search only in maths (settings menu)

Thanks for tip!

Hi Bernt,

Go to Edit > Find & Replace (Advanced), and under the Settings tab of the panel 
that pops up, see the options "Ignore format" (I guess you want unchecked), or 
maybe only "Search only in maths" is relevant for your case.

RE: LyX -- search & replace in math

[Bernt Lie]

...doesn't work perfectly, though...

If I have text with $p$ and $\mathfrak{p}$, then if I try to replace 
$\mathfrak{p}$ with $p$, everything is ok. 

HOWEVER, if I try to replace $p$ with $\mathfrak{p}$, then the latter becomes 
$\mathfrak{\mathfrak{p}}$...

In an ideal system, I guess $\mathfrak{\mathfrak{p}}$ should be simplified to 
$\mathfrak{p}$, etc. for similar cases.

LyX -- search & replace in math

[Bernt Lie]

I use Windows 10, 64bit latest version with LyX 2.3.1.

Question:
* I want to replace symbol $l$ in equations with symbol $\ell$. 
* How can I restrict the search to *equations*, and avoid all letters 
"L" in the document?

LyX & graphics/figure preview

[Bernt Lie]

Previews of graphics in floating figures tend to be small and sometimes of very 
poor resolution. If I increase the magnification in LyX, the figures look 
really ugly.

Is there a way to increase the preview quality? (The original files are 
typically either *.svg or *.pdf.)

Re: References and Umlaute

[Bernt Lie]

In the JabRef field, I would use LaTeX code, e.g:

G{\"u}nther

Use double quote " . Avoid two apostrophes '' ; avoid two backticks `` ...

To add to what was said. I only use JabRef with LyX/LaTeX and have generally 
had better luck specifying accent marks using LaTeX commands rather than 
Unicode characters.

Sorry for formatting, on mobile.

Re: bibliography citation and -und

[Bernt Lie]

I would guess that W has used "und" as author separator in his BibTeX files 
(instead of "and"), and wonders whether there is a way for LyX to understand 
this??
