I had the impression that inserted URLs automatically wrapped when they

Is there a way to properly wrap a URL inserted with this environment?

Rich
I don't recall URLs ever wrapping automatically. In the past, I would 
add hyphens at places where I wanted the URL to wrap, which is a bit 
clunky (since a change in preceding text can change where the wrap 
needs to happen). You might check out the xurl LaTeX package, or 
alternatively the breakurl package.

using Miede's classicthesis LyX2.3-v4.5 in openSUSE Leap

[Michael Berger]

Sorry Jürgen for addressing you this way.

I reported this to the LyX users list quite some time ago but got no 
response at all. Nor could I find some help on Miede's website. Any hint 
or advice from you?


Regards
Michael Berger

Dear friends of LyX,

having faced quite a number of heavy throwbacks when trying to use older 
versions of Miede's classicthesis for linguistic theses I eventually 
ended up using using LyX2.3-v4.5 in openSUSE Leap (this version is up to 
now not yet available in Mageia 6)


It is self-explanatory that the linguistics module must be loaded.

After making some minor adjustments - most important activating some 
fonts as per attached screenshot - I am enjoying this version's 
extensive support (thanks to Jürgen Spitzmüller) in writing lingiustic 
papers. Among other things inserting special characters in glosses by 
simply copying them from tables using Insert >Special Character > 
Symbols has become fun and on top all text style features available for 
normal text are as well available in glosses.


However, there is one last thing that so far I fail to achieve despite 
extensive search. I still can enter Insert > Marginal Note in the Lyx 
master and all child documents but I see no marginal notes at all in the 
PDF output. That is nothing really essential in my case but it might be 
well for other people.


Best and thanks,

Custom> Insets> Structure Tree fails to convert to PDF

[Michael Berger]

Dear lyxers,

a few days ago I reported this problem:

I am writing a linguistic document using Miede's 
classicthesis-LyX2.3-v4.6  in openSuse Leap 15; Qt Version 5.9.4

Adding Linguistic Trees fails e. g. as shown in the attachment.
I get tons of Error messages of the kind:
Package xcolor Error: undefined color 'Maroon' and
'RoyalBlue' / 'Black' / 'CTlink'
Description: \definecolor{CTurl}{named}{Maroon}
PDF output is possible but not usable because somewhat incomplete and 
without colors.


Some list members came up with proposals and good advice (sorry for 
misplacing your names). However, when nothing at all worked I deleted my 
installed Classicthesis and then downloaded and installed 
Classicthesis-LyX2.3-v4.6 completely new. Then I added a simple 
linguistic tree trusting that everything would be ok now. But nothing 
had changed - I got exactly the same errors as above reported.


Meanwhile I had invested almost one week on trying to solve the problem 
and decided to return to my Mageia6 which I had left because it up to 
now  provides the older version classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_bibtex8 
only. However, it now strikes my mind that  Mageia's developers may have 
their good reasons?!


Thank you once more for trying to help and cheers!

Update Stock and Currency Prices

[Michael Berger]

Hello Thomas,

when I open KMM and check >Help > About KMyMoney it says
KMyMoney Version 5.0.0, Libraries KDE Frameworks 5.42.0, Qt 5.9.4 (built 
against 5.9.3)


However, according to the Control Center of my Mageia6 x86_64 
installation I have Version 5.0.1 installed


No idea whether or not this is of any relevance to the problem that I 
believe!? to have reported some time ago:


The correct conversion rate EURO : IDR = 1 : 16417
and accordingly
the correct conversion rate IDR : EURO = 0,6091... : 1

But in KMM Online Quotes as at today I see : Price found: '619954' (619945)
while 0,6199... would be correct.

Not a real problem for somewhat experienced users of KMM and I could 
live on with it, just not so nice ;-)


Thanks for this great program,

Michael Berger

Yes, a set of specific words to be fixed by rearranging letters.
E.g.  writing quickly it often happens to write 'informazioen' rather than
' informazione'.
Sometimes that word appears correctly on the screen, sometimes it is
distorted like that, as an anagram of the right word.
Is that mistake a matter of 'learning'? You mean that i should gain a
better motor control of my fingers' movements?
My guess is that my mind form the mispelled word, while quickly
writing, because  'informazioen' and ' informazione' are the same, in
my mind.
There would be much to say about the meaning of 'learning', but this is
not the right place to discuss about that. I do not know which aspects
of learning would be involved here, but i am puzzled about how to
improve my writing by learning.
Anyway, that kind of mispelling happens often. Should i spend years to
learn, hoping ti improve my typewriting ability?
Rather, it would be very convenient to see that kind of mistakes
instantly corrected. Don't you agree?

paolo m.


Is is not a matter of learning,

Of course it is.


it is our mind functioning that swaps letter
positions or doubles next letters while quickly writing text lines

Typing isn't an inborn skill; it is something that one learns.
Learning to type a word and learning not to mistype it are the same
thing.


Restoring the correct letters order for each word quickly would be a
great favour to a number of long paper writers.

In the case of a long paper, as opposed to a set of papers, the
facility that you request doesn't offer much that global
find-and-replace doesn't already do.  In either case, you are talking
about working from an assembled list of corrections. (Recall that your
original request involved a list assembled by the user of corrections
to make.)

7zip file archiver in Mageia 6

Dear Lyxers,
Using Mageia 6 KDE and trying to get familiar with the p7zip compression

I find p7zip, version 16.02 installed, just this single file, no GUI.

This program is supposed to work from within Dolphin. But I cannot find 
the faintest hint how to use it because there is no menu whatsoever as 
can be found e.g. in Ubuntu


So it seems to me p7zip is not yet available in Mageia & !?

problems with documents produced with earlier

[Michael Berger]

Hello dear Lyxers,

after upgrading LyX to version 2.2.3 opening and editing (linguistic) 
papers made with earlier versions of LyX does work.
Conversion to PDF of each single child document works as well. But 
trying to generate a PDF from the master document results in an endless 
loop.


Any hint as to what could be the cause?

The papers were made in Mageia 5, now using Mageia 6

KMM 5.0.0 in Magaia 6

[Michael Berger]

Hello Thomas,

I am very sorry for my below repeated premature statement re KMM 5.0.0

After digging deeper I must now advise Mageia 6 users to be extremely 
cautious when trying KMM 5.0.0.
I continue using it for my everyday work while avoiding the dangerous 
parts/commands of it.


Thomas, as I am rather busy right now I will report my findings to you 
in a couple of days.


Again, very sorry for being too hasty,
Michael

-

Hello Thomas,

I upgraded KMM to version 5.0.0 and  I am back in business after having
to do some minor corrections re foreign currency exchange rates.

My base currency is the EURO. Currencies like the Swiss Franc and others
showed correct exchange rates that did not need any adjustment. But the
exchange rates of currencies with an extrem splay like the € to IDR (1€
~ 16 500 IDR) returned large crazy figures that made no sense at all.
But then it was easy to make the necessary corrections in KMM's Price
Editor.

I increased the default precision setting to eight digits, e.g. 1 IDR
equals 0,6001 €.

The Price Editor is now back to presenting the online quotes as before -
special thanks for this great add-in feature!

Should I come across some other imperfections I will report them to you
(but so far it doesn't look like).

I am using Mageia 6

Thanks again for the great program and best regards,
Michael

Hi Wolfgang,

as you can see it is our own mistake and stupidity if we get Dr. Lisse's

The good thing is he enjoys this 'metadiscussion' - thanks God, so our 
stupidity isn't just for nothing! By the way, we did not invite anybody 
to enter a discussion, we were just wondering and giving opinions.


However, there is his statement about this 'duplicate remover extension 
in his T-Bird which works quite well' as he says.


I think I have to get new glasses. Alternatively we could trigger a 
discussion on the term 'quite well'.

Re: Seperate Page for the Document Title and Abstract

[Michael Berger]

Hello Aaron,

I feel this is your first document produced with LyX and thus would 
recommend you to first of all try a template that is not too complicated 
yet *providing a rich set of predefined standards* (which I feel you may 
need), e. g. KOMA-Script Article or KOMA.Script Report.


File > New > Document > Settings  > Document Class and then select 
either one of the two above  KOMA-Script Classes from the list.


In LyX open the Standard drop-down menu (top left) and see if the 
predefined settings shown in the drop-down list do suit your needs.


Good luck,

Michael

A seperate cover is required. A Din A4 page with my works title, my

After the abstract has to be a page breack because it's followed by the

How it looks now: screenshot_1.png

I have tried to insert a page break via "insert -> formatting -> new

I have activated the modul "Benutzerdefinierte Kopf- und Fusszeile"

How can I manipulate this formatting behaviour?

First, check that you have set this properly in Tools> Preferences>

unless you use
"ls -a". But you can make it whatever you want.

Also, make sure you set the lyxpipe location in jabref. It is under

ok, now I understand. I just have to create a file called lyxpipe with
nothing inside at the proper location and refer to it in the jabref
program. Thanks.

No. You need to tell LyX (in the preferences) where you want the pipes
to be, and
then LyX will create the pipes when it starts. You also need to tell
JabRef where
the pipes are. LyX needs to know where to read data from; JabRef needs
to know
where to write it to. You can use ~/.lyx/.lyxpipe if you like, which I
guess counts
as a default, or you can put the pipe elsewhere. It doesn't matter.

These are not normal files but "named pipes", for which see
     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_pipe
This is one of many forms of inter-process communication.

And yes again, it is a Beamer presentation and that probably explains

Seems so. The structure and content of a lyx file does not depend on the
operating system, but of course, it depends on the used lyx-version. Therefore
your son also has to use lyx.

I also attach my son's PDF output generated under Windows 10.


We should have asked a simpler question first: What version of LyX is 
your son using?


That said, I think the problem is here:


** mdframed patching \endmdf@trivlist


** -- failed**



You then end up with a lot of errors that look like:

! LaTeX Error: \begin{list} on input line 297 ended by

Possibly this could be due to different versions of the mdframed

I have a LyX document written in 2011 I want to revise. I changed the

When I tried to view the dvips output a warning/error window popped up 
(see
attached screenshot) telling me that old font commands, specifically 
\sc and
\bf, were replaced years ago with the NFSS2 versions. So I went 
looking in

the .lyx file for these font declarations and found none.

  Thinking I could use some sections from this document in one I'm 
currently

writing (using the KOMA report class), I highlighted two sections in the
older document and pasted them in the new one. Using ^x-p to invoke dvips
output generated the same warnings/errors. After a bit I decided that 
I did
not need the new additions and deleted them. Trying to view the dvips 
output

still produced the same warning/error box. So does compiling the document
using pdflatex. Cannot find anything relevant in the new document's .lyx
file either so I have no idea how to create a MWE.

  Since the warning/error font issue seems to be related to one (of two)
citations inserted from jabref (which has not before occurred), I 
looked at

the bibtex information in jabref and don't see anything related to old
fonts:

@Article{FoxD2006,

  abstract = {Ecological risk assessment (ERA) is concerned with 
making decisions about the natural environment under uncertainty. 
Statistical methodology provides a natural framework for risk 
characterization and manipulation with many quantitative ERAs relying 
heavily on Neyman-Pearson hypothesis testing and other frequentist

increasingly popular in ERA as they are seen to provide legitimate 
ways of incorporating subjective belief or expert opinion in the form 
of prior probability distributions. This article explores some of the 
concepts, strengths and weaknesses, and difficulties associated with

  A clue stick on how to determine what/where this new issue 
originates is

needed. Again, I've no idea what to provide as a minimum example of the
problem since I cannot find a specific cause in the .lyx file. However, I
have attached the entire error log and hope that more experienced eyes

no PDF when using classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_biber / ..._biblatex_bibtex8

[Michael Berger]

Dear Lyxers,

my Linguistic Thesis at first written in classicthesis-LyX-v4.1 converts 
to PDF in both versions of classicthesis-LyX-v4.2 but only after having 
removed all letters used to typeset African Languages as shown in Table 
7 of the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List by Scott Pakin.


While my Thesis successfully handles the languages Turkish, Indonesian, 
Serbo-Croatian and Tamil it fails compilation to PDF as long as any of 
the two African languages Asante-Twi and/or Limbum remains present.


This was tried with classicthesis-LyX-v4.2 and using two different 
systems namely openSUSE Leap 14.2 and Mageia 6 - both do show the same 
behavior.


The package fc is in place with all its elements (fclfont.sty, 
fcuse.sty, t4cmr.fd, t4cmss.fd, fclfont.sty_old, t4cmtt.fd, t4enc.def, 
t4fcr.fd and t4phonet.sty).


\usepackage[T4]{fontenc} is present in the preamble.

Using other document classes e. g. Koma-Script do compile without 
problems as long as \usepackage[T4]{fontenc} is part of the preamble.


Am I doing something wrong or could it be that classicthesis-LyX-v4.2 is 
not yet fit?


Any help or comment is highly appreciated.

Thanks and cheers!

Michael

Re: cannot produce PDF from classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex-biber in Mageia6

thanks for your comment and tips, I'm not giving up yet.

I experienced exactly the same in openSUSE Leap, first neither the

Obviously there are few people using Miede's thesis. It produces 
beautiful documents - I use it for Linguistic papers.


If successful I will revert back to you.

You may try in a terminal the commands `biber --help`

in openSUSE Leap 42.2 I've tried countless times to produce PDF outputs 
with both, classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex-biber and 
classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex-bibtex8  but always ended up in endless 
loops.


After two weeks I tried openSUSE Leap 42.2 once more last night (out of 
desperation and frustration) and to my surprise both, biblatex-biber and 
biblatex-bibtex8, generated perfect PDF outputs - and very quickly.


In Documents > Settings > Bibliography > Bibliography Generation > 
Processor it offers


 * Default
 * biber !
 * bibtex
 * bibtex8

while in Mageia6 'biber' is still missing.
So, looks like one must wait till "biber" is made available in Mageia6 
and working.


Thanks a lot for your continuous support, and cheers!

Michael

Problems: Miede's ClassicThesis.lyx using Mageia 6

[Michael Berger]

Dear all,
I am now using Mageia 6, Kernel 4.9.35-desktop-1.mga6 / 64-bit / KDE

My many LyX documents of various classes produced in Mageia 5 generated 
PDF without any problems. In Mageia 6 all other document classes do so 
as before but my "ClassicThesis.lyx" documents throw out error messages.
I then tried Miede's original forms (nothing was added, edited or 
changed) and again no PDF was generated instead the following errors 
were reported:


classicthesis-LyX-v4.1
Latex Error: \bflabel undefined
Latex Error:  File 'beramono.sty' not found

classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_biber
Latex Error: File 'beramono.sty' not found

classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_bibtex8
Latex Error: File 'beramono.sty' not found

What could be the problem here?

Re: Problems with Unicode and Greek letters

Hi Juanjo,
I am still not clear what you actually meant saying "...a simple Latex 
block with "\delta" within" etc.

look at the screenshot attached - is that what you meant to achieve?

Michael

Hi Juanjo, there are many ways of writing Greek characters.

The far easiest and thus the most simple way would be to select a 
character from the symbols list:
Insert > Special character > Symbols > then select the category Greek or 
Greek extended and click on the character to be inserted.


For more sophisticated tasks look for the "Comprehensive Latex Symbol 
List" written by Scott Pakin, I think the latest edition is dated 
November 2015. Be warned, it is huge!

problems using LyX 2.1 documents in LyX 2,2.1

[Michael Berger]

Dear all,

I have quite a number / variety of documents (domain linguistic and 
engineering) created with LyX 2.1 and Mageia5 / KDE.


It may take some time till Mageia comes along with newer versions of 
LyX, Latex (this is by no means a negative statement; Mageia is just 
late but great!) and I decided to use and develop my existing documents 
in openSUSE Leap 4.2.2, KDE.


I now have: LyX 2.2.1-2.9 / Kbibtex 0.6-2.6 / the modules csquotes, 
fixme, todonotes and LaTeX are stamped 2015.104


Transformation of most of my old documents went seamless while some 
needed minor adjustments that I could do myself as somebody without any 
programming knowledge.


However, my theses made with Lyx 2.1 / classicthesis-v4.1 and now used 
with LyX 2.2.1 / classicthesis-v4.2 refuse to export to PDF. They start 
an endless loop. In the Lyx Documents I cannot see anything nothing 
wrong; trees in ERT, glosses are there, though the latter look somewhat 
different. I get no error messages at all.


This behavior is identical of both, 
classicthesis-LyX-v4.2-biblatex_biber and 
classicthesis-LyX-v4.2-biblatex_bibtex8


I started several attempts to copy the contents of the old child 
documents into the new child documents but this is slave work and I came 
to conclude that I might as well rewrite the whole thing from scratch  
and let everything be as is until Mageia is up to higher versions.


But the big question remains whether or not problems like this will 
then  be gone!?


After all, is it not Miede's classicthesis that ought to be accordingly 
adjusted to work with latest versions of LyX and LateX?


Any comment is highly appreciated, ideally would be a recipe for making 
my old classicthesis files work with classicthesis-v4.2 and compile in 
Lyx 2.2.x :-D


Cheers and thanks for your continuing support,

Michael

I have four LyX v. 2.1 documents that differ only by the citation

When I started using the document(s) in LyX v. 2.2.1 compilation of the

After many aimless attempts I could not resolve the problem and decided 
to ask the list when I saw Jürgens advice.

Changing the author list

Dear all,

I observe that numbering of footnotes in boxes is automatically
changing to 'lettering' - see screen shot. Is this intended
behavior or could it be specific to classicthesis? I am not sure

Any comment is appreciated.

Thanks edu Gpl,
but I did not change/add any code of my footnotes. I prefer to have 
*all* footnotes numbered and put at the end of the page - never inside a 
box.
These two footnotes were there already in the text and numbered and they 
were put at the end of the page. Then I selected that part of the text 
as a box, the footnotes moved from the end of the page inside the box 
and had their numbers replaced by letters.

So, I take it this is sort of an automatism.
Anyway, I can now use the code found in your link to reverse this 
automatism.


Thanks and regards,

(Inserting (in the LyX GUI) is not a problem, the error occures when you export
with 8-bit LaTeX.)

So, the subject of this thread is misleading, there is nothing wrong with
Insert>Special Character>Symbols. (You can export to HTML or with Xe/LuaTeX
and non-TeX fonts without problems.)


I found a way to work around the problem:
- Insert > Special character > Symbols > e.g. 'Mathematical Operator'
- select the symbol you want to use.
- select that very symbol and click on the  'Insert math' icon of the
tool bar.
- bingo

This works, because non-ASCII characters are always replaced in mathematical
mode by LyX (unless you use Xe/LuaTeX with "uniode-math".

For Mathematical Operators, wrapping in a math-inset is a correct
workaround/solution. For Dingbats or other text symbols this would be
suboptimal (works but not "clean" because math-mode is for mathematical
content).

When using a math-inset, you can also use the LaTeX command instead of
searching the symbol in "Special Character". (You find the name e.g. in
the Source Preview Pane). LyX will show the symbols (for most supported
mathematical symbols, at least) in the GUI and "do the right thing" on LaTeX
export.

Hallo Günter,
thanks for trying to help.
My original document is based on classicthesis.lyx v4.2 (biblatex_biber).
However, as I am almost certain that classicthesis is NOT the culprit 
(and also for simplicity reasons) I attach two mini examples using the 
document class KOMA Script Article.


Evidently there seems to be an incompatibility with utf8 because the 
problem vanishes when replacing it with another encoding. I tried a 
number of other language encodings in my original document but was 
always rewarded serious errors. My document is rather voluminous and 
filled with linguistic elements.


It appears also that the problem applies to the whole category of 
symbols, meaning that none symbol of e.g. the same category 
'Mathematical Operators' compiles. I also tried another five or six 
categories and all behaved equally bad.


Anyway, if you should need a mini file derived from my original 
document, please let me know.

Nomenclature in TOC different/unexpected in LyX2.1/CLT4.1 vs Lyx2,2.2/CLT4.2

[Michael Berger]

Dear List,

The screenshot shows my code in Lyx 2.1/Classicthesis4.1;  in the table 
of contents it produces exactly what is desired:


Nomenclature and Glossary 142

The same codeentered in Lyx 2.2.2/Classicthesis4.2(biblatex_biber) 
produces in the table of content:


Nomenclature and Glossary 37

   Nomenclature and Glossary 39 (the document is double-sided)

Here, if I replace 'Nomenclature and Glossary' by 'Nomenclature' in the 
second code line I get:


Nomenclature 37

   Nomenclature and Glossary 39

Page 37 has some text from the preceding section but absolutely nothing 
else. Page 38 is the back of page 37 and hence is completely empty. So, 
it looks as if the word 'Nomenclature' is just showing in the TOC 
without effecting the rest of the PDf document in .


Needless to say that I have been playing around a lot but could not get 
rid of that "undesired" and IMHO useless extra TOC entry.


Any comment? Is this a Lyx issue?

Thanks and cheers,

Michael

Re: Where to insert section labels?

I used to insert section labels right after the heading:

1. Some heading[sec:Some-heading]

This is actually how it is done in the User Guide as well. However, 
this produces the following source:


\section{Some heading\label{sec:Some-heading}}

But it actually leads to problems when I tried to have uppercase 
section headings with:


\usepackage{sectsty}
\sectionfont{\MakeUppercase}

I guess the error occurs for the same reason as 
\MakeUppercase{\label{sec:Some-heading}} generates an error.


So I looked around and saw that often the label is inserted *after* 
the section:


\section{Some heading}\label{sec:Some-heading}

But I am not sure how to achieve this with LyX. So instead I did this:

1. Some heading
[sec:Some-heading]

Where the label is just inserted in an extra default paragraph. Apart 
from looking a bit odd, it seems to work and not to create extra 
spacing or so. So is this the "saver" way to insert section labels in 
LyX?


Daniel



Hi Daniel,
I am not quite sure what you mean.
But this is how I insert a section:

I type : 'New Section' as a name
With the cursor somewhere inside/before/behind that name I select: 'Section'
And I get: '3.8 Section Extra' in the appropriate format

Selecting 'Section*' would  do the same without numbering

multiple indexes

Dear LyX users,

I am using multiple indexes (two different indexes) in my document.

I should add that cross references appear blue as well as the

John, I do not feel competent to provide sort of directions what to do. 
I must have done too many
things wrong from the beginning. So tracking back is not possible even 
if I wanted to.

Furthermore, each case is most probably different.
But if somebody needs help in setting up sectioned plus multiple 
bibliographies together (in a document
based on Miede's classicthesis, using the master-child concept) I am 
prepared to share my experience.


Lyx 2.1.3, classicthesis-LyX-v4.1, linguistic modules loaded

Though, a couple of things make me wonder, e. g. the following:
With me, sectioned bibliographies only work if using 'unsrt' or 
unsrtnat' which to me makes sense.
The bibtopic documentation says that bibtopic does not work  with (or 
does not support?)  'unsrt'.

But here it does and everything works just perfect without compromise.
The style option in the first line of the ERT (screenshot) may be plain, 
plainnat, unsrt, unsrtnat or may
even be removed without effecting the document or the format of any of 
its seven different bibliographies.


The bibliography default style in both the master and the child is set 
to 'unsrtnat' and this one obviously

determines the format of all the document's bibliographies.

The child's preamble only has two lines:

\usepackage[style=long,nolist]{glossaries}

\usepackage{bibtopic}

I hope my experience can be of help to other users although there may 
not be too many working on


documents with similar structure and challenges.
