LyX allows the user to add such argument to each item, but this is not

As I see it, if I want to introduce such a change to my lists inside

Check this article:

https://frommindtotype.wordpress.com/2020/02/27/lyx-another-way-to-change-numbered-lists/

It shows how to change numbered lists both globally (preamble code) and for
particular lists (through local layout and the creation of a new
environment).

Add options to begin{enumerate}

[tush via lyx-users]

The enumitem package allows the user to change the layout of the enumerate, 
itemize and description environments.

The change takes effect in the following way:

\begin{enumerate}[⟨key⟩=⟨value⟩ syntax goes here] % <-- NEW
\item text...
\item etc.
\end{enumerate}

I want to insert such ERT code to my lists in LyX.

LyX allows the user to add such argument to each item, but this is not the same 
thing.

As I see it, if I want to introduce such a change to my lists inside LyX, I

If you have made any customizations yourself to your preferences, then
automatic detection may not work for you. We do not over-write
user-specified preferences when we reconfigure. So that is one option.
To test, try using a fresh user directory.

Weight Options to the Noto Fonts

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Hi,

I am conducting a serious love affair with the Noto fonts which we can
now select in the LyX Settings -> Fonts dialog.

Sometimes I want to have the document a little ticker than regular which
I would normally do in the Preamble with something like

\makeatletter
\if@landscape
\usepackage[medium]{noto}
\else
\usepackage{noto}
\makeatother


This works but defeats the purpose and my sporting ambition.

I tried

\PassOptionsToPackage{thin}{noto}

which doesn't work, because this would have to come before the
\begin{document}, anyway.


Any ideas?  If it's in the manual a pointer would be appreciated.

And I unashamedly do not apologize for crossposting :-)-O

greetings, el

Re: Customizing biblatex beyond Citation Style - Options field

[Benedict Holland]

If you don't include biblatex in the UI (remove any bibliography settings
in Lyx), it shouldn't load anything. Of course, then it is on you to
include biblatex with all options and customizations you would like.

Does that work?

Customizing biblatex beyond Citation Style - Options field

[Bert Lloyd]

Dear LyX Users,

I am using biblatex in LyX 2.3. I have added several options through
the standard approach (Document Settings - Bibliography - Citation
Style - Options; for example: hyperref=true), and this works fine.

However, there are some further tweaks I would like to make that as
far as I know cannot be done this way. For example, in plain LaTex, I
would add

\AtEveryBibitem{%
  \clearlist{language}
}

after \usepackage[...]{biblatex}

I attempted to implement this via Document Settings - Preamble.
However, the problem I am having is that it appears that, by default,
LyX places
\usepackage[...]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{are-495.bib}
at the very end of the latex preamble.

As a result, options I add via Document Settings - Preamble appear
before \usepackage[...]{biblatex}, leading to an error message:

Undefined control sequence
\AtEveryBibitem
{%
The control sequence at the end of the top line...

I tried including the \AtEveryBibitem{%... material in the body of the
document using ERT, but this also lead to an error:
! LaTeX Error: Can be used only in preamble.

So, is there a way I can
A) Control where LyX puts \usepackage[...]{biblatex} in the latex preamble?
B) Add material to a specific part of the latex preamble (i.e., the
end, or at least after \usepackage[...]{biblatex})?
C) Pass options to biblatex a different way?
D) Other?

Many thanks,

BL

Murat,

  As a suggestion: look carefully at the biblographic citation for that
Turkish article. It may have a non-printable character in it that is causing
your problem.

  I don't know what software you use for your references, but the bibtex
paragraph for that article is where I would look for problems.

  Germane to your questions about the babel options, I've no idea but others

Re: Grrr! Loosing my mind on graphic options in pdflatex

[Murat Yildizoglu]

To answer my first question: it seems that the turkish option need
\usepackage[shorthands=:!]{babel}
in the preamble (I can see that in the article in Turkish I have written, I
have probably met this part of the problem at that time).

But my second question remains: how can I tell LyX to not include this
option?

Re: Grrr! Loosing my mind on graphic options in pdflatex

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Thank you Rich,
Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the source of the problem and it is
becoming stranger and stranger. I must do something really stupid in Lyx.
Here is the test I have done:

   1. I have created a new document with the same class, with all the other
   default options ;
   2. I have integrated a Figure float containing one PDF graphic belonging
   to my original document;
   3. I have compiled this new document, and I can give it any scaling
   option without any problem, it just works.
   4. Then I have tried to copy cat specific options, modules and the
   preamble of the old document to see if I can locate the source of the
   problem, but the test document has been able to compile correctly without
   any problem.
   5. Then I have cleaned the test document, and copied just the content of
   the problematic lax chapter in this document, and I get exactly the
   original problem: any option I give to \includegraphics is just printed in
   the pdf (instead of the graphic), instead of being interpreted. :-( G!

So it must be something in my Lyx file that must be the source of the
problem. When I export the Lyx to Latex and I compile.

*OK, I think I have located the source of the problem, but I do not know
how to solve it in LyX: *I have pasted a citation in English coming from an
article I have written in Turkish, and then, Lyx automatically puts the
option turkish in the \documentclass instruction

\documentclass[english,turkish,french]{extreport}
If I delete turkish in the exported latex file, the document compiles and
the options are correctly interpreted, and the graphic correctly scaled.

Two questions then:
Why this babel option kills the \includegraphics options? (I could need
turkish again)
How can I tell to not include this option (I do not have any text in
Turkish in my document)?

All help would be very much appreciated.

  This looks a lot like a problem I had a year or so ago. Paul Rubin helped
find the reason for this. As I recall, my issue was caused by checking the
'clip to bounding box' checkbox on the settings -> clipping tab. That was a
lyx issue that was fixed, and it may not be your issue. However, it's worth

Re: Using algorithm2e with Package Options, Recommended Approach?

[Paul A. Rubin]

On 01/29/2018 12:28 PM, Joel Kulesza wrote:

Colleagues:

What is the recommended way to \usepackage{algorithm2e} with 
additional options
and potentially other global preamble customizations (ideally also 
allowing

algorithm floats in the LyX GUI)?

For example, I'd like to have in my preamble for algorithm2e:

\usepackage[ruled,vlined,resetcount,algochapter,linesnumbered]{algorithm2e}

and also

    \usepackage{xcolor} % Because of colors called out below.
    \SetArgSty{textnormal}
    \SetNlSty{texttt}{\color{gray}}{}
\newcommand\mycommfont[1]{\footnotesize\ttfamily\textcolor{blue}{#1}}
    \SetCommentSty{mycommfont}
    \DontPrintSemicolon

I cannot see how to customize the existant algorithm2e.module.  At a 
minimum

just to get the package with options, I've tried:

    AddToPreamble
\usepackage[ruled,vlined,resetcount,algochapter,linesnumbered]{algorithm2e}
    EndPreamble

    Preamble
\usepackage[ruled,vlined,resetcount,algochapter,linesnumbered]{algorithm2e}
    EndPreamble

    PackageOptions ruled vlined resetcount algochapter linesnumbered

    PackageOptions algorithm2e ruled vlined resetcount algochapter 
linesnumbered


    PackageOptions "algorithm2e ruled vlined resetcount algochapter 
linesnumbered"


with and without commenting out the line "Requires algorithm2e".  I've 
tried
this with a new .module file with intermittent reconfigures as well as 
Document
Settings -> Local Layout.  However, nothing I try gets the proper line 
inserted

into the document preamble.  I assume this is because I'm defining a float
rather than a text class.

I can include
"\usepackage[ruled,vlined,resetcount,algochapter,linesnumbered]{algorithm2e}" 
in
the document preamble; however, when I Insert -> Float -> Algorithm 
and view the
source, new lines are added to the LyX-generated preamble 
corresponding to the

lines added with the intrinsic LyX algorithm:

    \floatstyle{ruled}
    \newfloat{algorithm}{tbp}{loa}
    \providecommand{\algorithmname}{Algorithm}
    \floatname{algorithm}{\protect\algorithmname}

which results in errors like "Command \algorithm already defined.".  I'm
reluctant to modify the defaults to remove the built-in algorithm 
environment

(perhaps unnecessary reluctance?).

The best solution I've identified is keeping the lines I want in the 
preamble

and not using Insert -> Float -> Algorithm or Insert -> List -> List of
Algorithms but rather inserting child .tex documents with all 
captions, labels,

content within them and \listofalgorithms using ERT. However, this allows
cross-references to get out of sync easily (and forces me to insert 
valid albeit
seemingly broken references via the LyX GUI).  However, hyperlinks 
appear to

work when ultimately rendered.

MWE attached for "the best I've developed."  Hopefully there is a 
better way
that I've overlooked (perhaps redefining algorithm2e.module to 
override the

builtin algorithm but not include any additional preamble content and then
including all my code in the preamble?).

Any thoughts are appreciated to satisfy my wish list of:

* Using package-optioned algorithm2e instead of LyX built-in algorithm and
* Using the LyX GUI to interact with algorithms (at least to do label and
  cross-reference management; keeping the algorithm code external is 
preferred).


Please don't hesitate to contact me with comments, questions, or concerns.

Thank you,
Joel
Does the attached module do what you want (or show the way)? I just

OK, I figured it out.  You need to move the cursor to just after the frame 
title, then the 'frame options' option will appear in the Insert menu.

You need to use the flex insets with the beamer document class.

The following should work (I think), though I'm not sure it's easier 
than writing an external script:


1. Copy beamer.layout to a new file (for the sake of argument,
   "beamer-handout.layout") and put it in your local layout directory.
   Edit it to contain the handout option in the ClassOptions section.
2. Reconfigure LyX, so that it knows about the layout.
3. Bind some unused keyboard combination to the command
   'textclass-apply beamer-handout'. You might want to bind a second
   combination to 'textclass-apply beamer' so that you can toggle back

4. After creating a presentation (in either format), export it the

We have such a thing already:

(only works in trunk, since the todonotes module from the wiki does not load 
todonotes via LyX's features interface).

"trunk" is the development version of LyX, i.e. forthcoming LyX 2.2.

With LyX 2.1.x, you cannot use the descirbed feature with the todonotes 
module, since it only works for packages "known" to LyX (and the todonotes 
packages is not known to LyX 2.1). Making a package "known" requires a change 
in the LyX source code.

What happens if you just do:

AddToPremable
\PassOptionsToPackage...
EndPreamble

in local layout? I'll guess it may not work, since this line will be
output too late

If so, then a PassOptionToPackage tag would be a very good idea. These
could be output very early, yes?

I do like the idea of a PassOptionToPackage tag.

But in regards to my hack, I could completely get rid of it only if we
had an AddToEarlyPreamble section the adds lines before the
LyX-generated preamble.

Some options like \zoomfactor even want to be output before the document
class, and I think some command had also to be moved to before the
documentclass recently. Maybe we need a general solution for such issues.

Thanks for these interesting approaches, Richard! In this regard, it
would also be nice if one could point Lyx to module files that are
located outside ~/.lyx
This way I could save the module file together with my document (in a
git repo) and have it ready wherever I need it.

Contrary to what I wrote before, passing the options as global options
to the document class *does* work. On my first try, I didn't see the
effect because I use the tikzexternalize package and todonotes renders
its notes with Tikz. This prevented rerendering.

Options of packages loaded by modules/Lyx

(sorry if this is a double post)

Dear list,

is it possible to change package options of packages that are loaded by
modules? Specifically, I tried to set the options of the todonotes
package which I use in conjunction with the "TODO Notes" module [1].
This module loads the package without passing any options to it.
Specifically, it adds

\RequirePackage{todonotes}

to the preamble.

Adding another \usepackage[myOptions]{todonotes} to my preamble causes
an options clash. I tried to

*) Set the options globally by passing them to the document class (as
suggested by LaTex). No error, but also no effect.
*) Use \PassOptionsToPackage. No error, but also no effect. I think this
command must be used *before* loading the package, which I can't do as

A possible solution would be to change the module itself. But I don't

I only want it to affect the document. (Also, I don't want to change the
moule on all systems I use)

Copy todonotes.module to todonotes2.module. Open it and make whatever
changes you
wish (I'd make some change to the first line and description so you know
which is which),
then reconfigure LyX so it is seen and use the modified version in this
paper.

Alternatively, copy the contents of todonotes.module to Local Layout and
make your
changes there. Then remove the ToDo Notes module from the list of used
modules.

listings package options

Dear LyX Users and Developers,

I would like to add the numberbychapter=true option to the listings
package for the code listings. I looked around but did not find a GUI
option for it. I found a related issue [1] where the advice was to file
a feature request to add options to packages already loaded by LyX.

Could someone give me a hint?

package for the code listings. I looked around but did not find a GUI
option for it. I found a related issue [1] where the advice was to file
a feature request to add options to packages already loaded by LyX.

Could someone give me a hint?


For listings, you can access the individual inset settings by right 
clicking on it, the selecting Settings
Then, you can type settings not in the GUI in the Advanced tab. Type 
your options in the More Parameters text box.


If you want to apply the settings to all listings in the document, which 
is the case here (this option is global), then type the text directly in 
Documents-Settings-Listings


However, that option is true by default (according to listings 
documentation and to my tests), so you should not need to do anything.


If you want to switch the option off, then type
numberbychapter=false
in the above mentioned place. Note that LyX may prevent you to apply the 
change, in such case you can check the Bypass validation option (I 
needed to do that for that specific option).


Tested in LyX 2.0.6 on Windows with MikTeX.

Best regards,

Olivier

I had the impression that the `numberbychapter' option is a package

 However, that option is true by default (according to listings

 If you want to switch the option off, then type
 numberbychapter=false

I tested as you suggested in the global dialog and setting it true or
false there makes no difference, both gives consecutive numbering Code
1, Code 2 etc., i.e. not what I want.

 Tested in LyX 2.0.6 on Windows with MikTeX.


FWIW, I am in 2.0.5.1 on OS X 10.8.5 with MacTeX.

One thing strikes me as odd just from the name of that option: I am
using the `article' document class and not `book' where chapter is a
sectioning command. That should be irrelevant, I guess (?).

Michael

RTFM.  But I really do not get it why the article documentclass
shouldn't be supported.  Will contact the listings maintainer.

More Color options

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I would like to suggest to the developpers to give an option to
use an extented choice of colors, for example by giving access to the
argument of \color{} without moving to the latex mode (it could be
an option of color in text style).
Is it complicated?
Of course the full list of the crayola colors could also be offered!

Regards.

Please file an enhancement request on trac. It probably isn't that hard, 
but it would mean changing how the EditText Style box works.


Definitely too late for 2.1, though.

We support to set every color for \color{}, see the document settings - color 
section.
We support the same for \pagecolor and the color of notes and boxes.

For \textcolor{} this is not that easy to do. We tried that once but this requires a lot of work. 
There is already an enhancement request in our bugtracker and perhaps somebody has time to work on 
this for the next LyX release. However, it is a good style not to use more than a few colors and for 
that matter we support already 8 colors.

options on a document class

[Al Niessner]

Let me start with a big thanks to all of the developers and users of Lyx. I 
have been using it for nearly exclusively for 15 years or more. Ever since 
FrameMaker got purchased by Adobe I have been using Lyx.

Lyx works so well that I have never had to learn LaTeX or TeX. I have been 
through the documentation a couple of times and have been through the WIKI 
too. I almost always get my answers there, but sometimes I have to resort to 
google. In this case, they have all failed and I finally have to post. Well, 
I do not remember every posting before.

Currently I am trying to write a paper and it comes with this request:

Latex users: please use \documentclass[conference, compsocconf]{IEEEtran} 
(with option 'compsocconf').

Since Lyx works so well and I have never had to learn LaTeX, I have no idea 
what they are asking. I poked around Lyx and the documentation and have not 
convinced myself that I have found the correct thing to do.

1) Is there some place (pull down menu or dialog box) that I am supposed to 
enter this option and Lyx will do the rest?

2) If I have to do ERT, then were does the ERT go and should I start with a 
base document or the IEEE template?

3) Some other lower level trick?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

options on a document class

[Al Niessner]

Let me start with a big thanks to all of the developers and users of Lyx. I 
have been using it for nearly exclusively for 15 years or more. Ever since 
FrameMaker got purchased by Adobe I have been using Lyx.

Lyx works so well that I have never had to learn LaTeX or TeX. I have been 
through the documentation a couple of times and have been through the WIKI 
too. I almost always get my answers there, but sometimes I have to resort to 
google. In this case, they have all failed and I finally have to post. Well, 
I do not remember every posting before.

Currently I am trying to write a paper and it comes with this request:

Latex users: please use \documentclass[conference, compsocconf]{IEEEtran} 
(with option 'compsocconf').

Since Lyx works so well and I have never had to learn LaTeX, I have no idea 
what they are asking. I poked around Lyx and the documentation and have not 
convinced myself that I have found the correct thing to do.

1) Is there some place (pull down menu or dialog box) that I am supposed to 
enter this option and Lyx will do the rest?

2) If I have to do ERT, then were does the ERT go and should I start with a 
base document or the IEEE template?

3) Some other lower level trick?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

You can set the class options here:
Document Settings > Document Class > Class options.

Thank you very much for the prompt response.

I put [conference, compsocconf] in the custom block. I presume I need the [] 
and that conference is also an option. I have tried very hard to not learn 
LaTeX or Tex. I figured once I did that writing papers would become a 
programming exercise all of its own.

You do not need the [].

Just tried to view the document and fixed the custom block. Seems to
working at this point. Thanks again for all of the help.

Re: setting options for bibtex

[Csikos Bela]

Coen van Hasselt coenvanhass...@gmail.com írta:

I want to turn off printing of DOIs in my BibTex bibliography in Lyx.
When I try to add the option doi=false under Document settings -
Bibliography - Bibliography generation - Options
the bibliography is not generated anymore (i.e. question mark for
citation and empty bibliography). How can I set this option via Lyx ?

thanks,
coen


Hello:

I guess you cannot do this, that is control bibliography output style, in lyx.
How the bibliography looks is determined by the bibliograpy style file (.bst 
file). When you insert bibliography in lyx, you have to select the bibtex 
database file (.bib) file and the style file (.bst). The bst file controls how 
the citations and the bibliography are formatted. You can choose predefined bst 
files or you can create one according to your liking. Creating a bst file is 
not the easiest at first, it takes some time to learn it. I am aware of two 
tools for creating bst style files:

1. custom-bib package for tex/latex (http://www.ctan.org/pkg/custom-bib)

2. Java based bib-it program has a style file generator module.
http://bib-it.sourceforge.net/features.php

Maybe the second one is easier to use.
One can control which keys in what order should be in a bibliography item (and 
citations as well) and how they are formatted.

bcsikos

Are you using NatBib? I'm not sure, but I think doi=... is an option for NatBib,
whereas you're trying to insert it as an option for BibTeX. If you're using
NatBib, try adding doi=false to Document  Settings...  Document Class  Class
options  Custom. Options specified here are passed down the line to loaded
packages (which ignore the option if it's not one they know).
