use a special Linux distribution that has its own TeXLive-packages?

Just Debian (Linux Mint Debian). As Jürgen has already explained,
TeXLive as of 2013 has split Babel language support files, and I had to
install the packages texlive-lang-french (of course) and
texlive-lang-german (more unexpectedly).

That's why I hadn't noticed it before, with the older TeXLive.


Now, German is a
beautiful language, but isn't that weird?

In the documentation files we sometimes use another language to show
e.g. the multi-language
features. Sometimes we translators are simply to lazy to translate.
For example for the explanation
of multicolumns the text in the columns is English because it is just
a dummy text to fill the
columns. There are some similar cases.

Yes, precisely at the same place, pp. 69-70 of the French maths manual,
we have a nice 2-column quotation in Goethe's language beginning with
"Das Spektrum wird fouriertransformiert."

I'm perfectly fine with that, the texlive-lang-german uses a negligible
size on a modern HD. I was just thinking of a new user who could wonder
why the user guide does not compile first time.

FWIW, I could easily provide a French translation of this German
excerpt, even more so if you provide me with the English version :-)

Re: Some French help files want German language

[Daniel CLEMENT]

Thanks Wolfgang, it does help. 

I've already arranged with Uwe that I would contact the French
translators. 

But 1st I'd like to find the German (?) excerpt(s) in the (French) User
Guide. There has to be one somewhere which also prevents this document
from compiling first time. I'd like to come up with something complete.
I'm working on it.

Some French help files want German language

[Daniel CLEMENT]

Dear list members,

I was trying to learn LyX better, and I noticed an unexpected error
message when compiling the Math guide. It's a Babel error message
complaining that the ngerman option was not defined.

This also happened with the User Guide, while other docs compiled fine
(Introduction, Learning Guide, Embedded objects...)

With texlive-lang-german installed, everything works! Now, German is a

The French math manual (at least the 2.1 version) includes German text
(search for Das Spektrum wird fouriertransformiert.). I did not check the
User Guide, but it is probably the same cause.

Don't ask me why this is.

The class file is the LaTeX half of the equation. To be able to use it, 
LyX also needs a layout file for it. This is basically a file that 
tells LyX what resources the class file provides. (It is really not 
possible for LyX to parse the class file and figure this out for 
itself.) The problem, then, is that there is no layout file for asme2e.


Just glancing through the file, it looks to me like a pretty standard 
sort of article class. So it will probably be usable, if not perfect, 
with the layout file I am attaching. This file should be put in the 
directory $USERDIR/layouts/. You can find your user directory by looking 
at HelpAbout LyX. Once you have put the layout file there, you will 
need to reconfigure LyX by going to ToolsReconfigure, and then restarting.


As I said, this should work to some extent, but it will need tweaking. 
Please see Chapter 5 of the Customization manual for how to do that. If 
you get it working well, let us know, and we can consider including it 
in future LyX versions.

As I said, this should work to some extent, but it will need tweaking. 
Please see Chapter 5 of the Customization manual for how to do that. If 
you get it working well, let us know, and we can consider including it 
in future LyX versions.

Hi
I am using LyX 2.0.7.1 on Mac OSX Maverick and whenever I press
SHIFT-COMMAND-/ to access the Help Menu, a blue / even though I have
disabled the shortcut specialchar-insert-slash.

Is this only me and my config, and how can I get rid of the /?

Help with SyncTeX and PDF Document Viewer

[Diego Villamil]

Dear LyXers,
I just updated my LyX version to 2.0.7 running in Ubuntu 12.04.
I found the site for setting up SyncTeX in order to go back and forth
between the PDF document and the LyX source.
The site explains how to set it up for a few programs:  Skim, Okular, and
Sumantra.  However, I am using the default viewer by Evince, and I haven't
been able to set it up.

I was wondering if there is anyone out there who will help me.
thank you kindly.
Diego, LyX enthusiast.

Need some help figuring out LyX

[Madhusudan Singh]

I last used LyX about 16 years ago.

I have used LaTeX extensively for about 18 years, have contributed class
files, know how to work around most problems there. Its unseemly to call
oneself an expert in something you are not trained in, but I know my way
around it.

I love LaTeX beamer (I have created two of the color schemes among other
contributions to it).

I am trying to create beamer presentations for a set of lectures. While
using LaTeX source for a professional conference presentation and the like
is my first choice (strangely, I love Keynote as well), its rather tiresome
for lectures that run into 30 slides or so per lecture. The main problem
(and time consumption I see) is the inability to effectively drag and
drop things into LaTeX. I often copy figures from my other previous
presentations, so I usually do not already have them on the disk. Yes, I
have tried TeXmacs (which I think is a great project with some unique
features, but it suffers from having no seamless integration with LaTeX).

LyX, strangely enough, once you get past the unintuitive and drab (from the
late 90's) interface does allow a cut/copy and paste. However, the same
things that turned me off LyX 16 years ago (a very confusing way to enter
stuff) are beginning to give me a headache. Put simply, I find LyX
confusing. Its not seamless. The preamble goes to a box inside document
settings (I mean, really?). If I enter any LaTeX code with command+L (I am
using this on a Mac), it stares at me in ugly red on that sickly pale
yellow background. How do I convert it to visual form (LaTeXIt or
preview-latex style)?

I have defined some rather nifty beamer macros that I started using with
LaTeXian (its commercial) which is a beautiful piece of software. If I put
them into the preamble, is there any way to get a live preview? After all,
if I type in stuff in LyX without using any LaTeX commands, I am staring at
a live preview of sorts. So, LyX should have the capability to understand
the LaTeX I have thrown at it and process it (TeXmacs does this, btw.).

I have searched through forums etc. for some defining work philosophy of
LyX. I find numerous references to how it is supposed to be so much easier
than LaTeX. Such statements are generally written to cater to LaTeX scared
wannabes from the Microsoft Word nightmare land.

But can someone help this hardcore LaTeX guy get LyX? I am using it out of
necessity (Keynote files are huge and I just do not think it is a good idea
to waste so much space). So, I want to be able to love it :)

  Without doubt, someone will find issues regardless of how the menus are
organized. Once you're used to them (and I replaced LaTeX/emacs with LyX
many years ago), it becomes familiar and easy.

  By changing the colors to what you want? Try Tools = Preferences - Look
 Feel - Colors. I much prefer the pale yellow background to the bright
white background that used to be the default. Of course, I work with linux,
not OS X.

That's how I check for overlong lines and other aspects that need to be
tweaked. What I see on the screen looks nothing like the compiled output,
but the preview (and it must be somewhere on a menu) shows me what the TeX
output looks like.

For frequently used functions I have defined keyboard chords. For the rest,
I either click on the icon or (much less frequently) traverse the menus. As
a touch-typist I prefer to keep my hands on the keyboard, but rather than
typing all the LaTeX commands I let LyX enter them for me with a simple
chord or icon click.

SV: Need some help figuring out LyX

[Ingar Pareliussen]

I think you'll never be satisfied with LyX if you try to shoehorn LyX into 
something it is not, a LaTeX-editor.

You are right that most what is written about LyX is not written for people 
coming from LaTeX, this might be a shortcoming from the LyX community. But I 
guess the most important is that understand that LyX is not meant to write 
LaTeX, but documents. For one coming from LaTeX  the biggest change moving to 
LyX would be the removal of the LaTeX markup from the document. The reason of 
removing the markup is to read and write the text more quickly, even math. If 
you find writing the markup and reading/writing the document a non-issue you 
should get a LaTeX editor, there are plenty. Even online: 
https://www.writelatex.com/

However, if you want to try LyX as a document processor here is some thought 
from your experience:

The preamble is a bit tucked away, but usually you only change it initially, 
when you have set it up you make a template of the document and use that when 
you start a new document.

If you have a lot of beamer macroes there is several ways to integrate those 
into LyX. you could make a layout-file that magically incorporates the macros 
into the preamble and give you the macros along with the rest of the 
beamermacros in the gui. Or you could make a template and add the macros in the 
preamble and use ERT to access it (however, as you remarked this will stand out 
from the rest of the document, as it is only meant as a last resort), or you 
could add them as local styles connected to the document, but integrated into 
the menus. What to chose is down to the type of macros, I guess. It is all 
about the best way of hiding the markup away.

Ingar Pareliussen

Re: Need some help figuring out LyX

[Scott Kostyshak]

I do not think that drag-and-drop is a good reason to switch to LyX.
You will suffer if you're the type that loves writing all the LaTeX
yourself. I'm sorry that you're using it out of necessity. I've had
to use software out of necessity before and it is a horrible feeling.

You clearly want to customize things and in LyX there is a lot of room
for this. Take a read of Help  Customization. You can create your own
inset that will put stuff in the preamble (so it would be inside of
the document instead of going to Document  Settings). For this do a
search for the word InPreamble in Help  Customization.

That manual will also show you how to change the color of ERT. One way
to do this is to put the following in Document  Settings  Local
Layout:

InsetLayout ERT
LabelString   ERT
LatexType none
Decorationminimalistic
Font
 Family  typewriter
EndFont
LabelFont
 Color   latex
 SizeSmall
EndFont
MultiPar  true
CustomParsfalse
ForcePlaintrue
PassThru  true
ParbreakIsNewline true
KeepEmpty true
FreeSpacing   true
ForceLTR  true
End

For more permanent ways, read the Customization manual.

To preview your custom LaTeX, put it in a preview box (Insert  Preview).

Feedback is appreciated, but please be specific (e.g. with proposed
solutions not it's ugly) and send patches; and be open to the
possibility that others don't like things the way you do.

Although I don't think it will happen, I really hope that you end up
falling in love with LyX and staying around the list to offer
suggestions. I really think that LyX has a lot to offer power LaTeX
users and this side is not often seen.

Re: Need some help figuring out LyX

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi Madhusudan,

Just to tell you that I am originally a pure latexian, I have done my PhD
and some papers in pure LaTeX, until I have discovered Scientfic Workplace
and immediately switched because I have found that I could better focus on
what I am trying to say, rather on its expression in LaTeX. But SWP has
always been clumsy for me, and its integration with pure LaTeX has taken
some time (I remember my joy when they introduced the portable latex
format). In the mean time, I have been followed the development of LyX and
made several trials to grok it, without any success. For me the interface
was not natural either. But all this changed when I have taken time to read
the tutorials and the manuals, and I use mainly LyX today (except when I am
collaborating with people who have not discovered yet its joy and work in
pure latex - in this case I use Sublime Text with the Latexing plugin, a
very agreeable setup for working in pure latex). I have definitely stopped
using SWP, since I find day LyX today is the most powerful and flexible
document editor, if you accept its logic, instead of trying to impose yours
on it (you could do it somewhat, using the tricks indicated in other posts,
but it will never be completely comfortable and natural). By the way, I
have been doing all my beamers in LyX for some years now, and I am very
happy with it.  Keynote is quite nice, but there is no comparison possible
for me  with LyX+KnitR+bibtex+beamer, just as an example.

Just my two cents: I invite to take some time to check the manuals and the
example documents (they are hidden in the LyX bundle in OSX) before making
your final decision.

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi Madhusudan,

Just to tell you that I am originally a pure latexian, I have done my PhD
and some papers in pure LaTeX, until I have discovered Scientfic Workplace
and immediately switched because I have found that I could better focus on
what I am trying to say, rather on its expression in LaTeX. But SWP has
always been clumsy for me, and its integration with pure LaTeX has taken
some time (I remember my joy when they introduced the portable latex
format). In the mean time, I have been followed the development of LyX and
made several trials to grok it, without any success. For me the interface
was not natural either. But all this changed when I have taken time to read
the tutorials and the manuals, and I use mainly LyX today (except when I am
collaborating with people who have not discovered yet its joy and work in
pure latex - in this case I use Sublime Text with the Latexing plugin, a
very agreeable setup for working in pure latex). I have definitely stopped
using SWP, since I find day LyX today is the most powerful and flexible
document editor, if you accept its logic, instead of trying to impose yours
on it (you could do it somewhat, using the tricks indicated in other posts,
but it will never be completely comfortable and natural). By the way, I
have been doing all my beamers in LyX for some years now, and I am very
happy with it.  Keynote is quite nice, but there is no comparison possible
for me  with LyX+KnitR+bibtex+beamer, just as an example.

Just my two cents: I invite to take some time to check the manuals and the
example documents (they are hidden in the LyX bundle in OSX) before making
your final decision.

 I last used LyX about 16 years ago.

 I have used LaTeX extensively for about 18 years, have contributed class
 files, know how to work around most problems there. Its unseemly to call
 oneself an expert in something you are not trained in, but I know my way
 around it.

 I love LaTeX beamer (I have created two of the color schemes among other
 contributions to it).

 I am trying to create beamer presentations for a set of lectures. While
 using LaTeX source for a professional conference presentation and the like
 is my first choice (strangely, I love Keynote as well), its rather tiresome
 for lectures that run into 30 slides or so per lecture. The main problem
 (and time consumption I see) is the inability to effectively drag and
 drop things into LaTeX. I often copy figures from my other previous
 presentations, so I usually do not already have them on the disk. Yes, I
 have tried TeXmacs (which I think is a great project with some unique
 features, but it suffers from having no seamless integration with LaTeX).

 LyX, strangely enough, once you get past the unintuitive and drab (from
 the late 90's) interface does allow a cut/copy and paste. However, the same
 things that turned me off LyX 16 years ago (a very confusing way to enter
 stuff) are beginning to give me a headache. Put simply, I find LyX
 confusing. Its not seamless. The preamble goes to a box inside document
 settings (I mean, really?). If I enter any LaTeX code with command+L (I am
 using this on a Mac), it stares at me in ugly red on that sickly pale
 yellow background. How do I convert it to visual form (LaTeXIt or
 preview-latex style)?

 I have defined some rather nifty beamer macros that I started using with
 LaTeXian (its commercial) which is a beautiful piece of software. If I put
 them into the preamble, is there any way to get a live preview? After all,
 if I type in stuff in LyX without using any LaTeX commands, I am staring at
 a live preview of sorts. So, LyX should have the capability to understand
 the LaTeX I have thrown at it and process it (TeXmacs does this, btw.).

 I have searched through forums etc. for some defining work philosophy of
 LyX. I find numerous references to how it is supposed to be so much easier
 than LaTeX. Such statements are generally written to cater to LaTeX scared
 wannabes from the Microsoft Word nightmare land.

 But can someone help this hardcore LaTeX guy get LyX? I am using it out of
 necessity (Keynote files are huge and I just do not think it is a good idea
 to waste so much space). So, I want to be able to love it :)

  Without doubt, someone will find issues regardless of how the menus are
organized. Once you're used to them (and I replaced LaTeX/emacs with LyX
many years ago), it becomes familiar and easy.

  By changing the colors to what you want? Try Tools => Preferences -> Look
& Feel -> Colors. I much prefer the pale yellow background to the bright
white background that used to be the default. Of course, I work with linux,
not OS X.

the LaTeX I have thrown at it and process it (TeXmacs does this, btw.).


  Have you tried  ^x-p (for print preview using emacs keyboard shortcuts)?
That's how I check for overlong lines and other aspects that need to be
tweaked. What I see on the screen looks nothing like the compiled output,
but the preview (and it must be somewhere on a menu) shows me what the TeX
output looks like.

  I find it much easier to use than LaTeX because it requires less typing.
For frequently used functions I have defined keyboard chords. For the rest,
I either click on the icon or (much less frequently) traverse the menus. As
a touch-typist I prefer to keep my hands on the keyboard, but rather than
typing all the LaTeX commands I let LyX enter them for me with a simple
chord or icon click.


But can someone help this hardcore LaTeX guy get LyX? I am using it out of

SV: Need some help figuring out LyX

[Ingar Pareliussen]

I think you'll never be satisfied with LyX if you try to shoehorn LyX into 
something it is not, a LaTeX-editor.

You are right that most what is written about LyX is not written for people 
coming from LaTeX, this might be a shortcoming from the LyX community. But I 
guess the most important is that understand that LyX is not meant to write 
LaTeX, but documents. For one coming from LaTeX  the biggest change moving to 
LyX would be the removal of the LaTeX markup from the document. The reason of 
removing the markup is to read and write the text more quickly, even math. If 
you find writing the markup and reading/writing the document a non-issue you 
should get a LaTeX editor, there are plenty. Even online: 
https://www.writelatex.com/

However, if you want to try LyX as a document processor here is some thought 
from your experience:

The preamble is a bit tucked away, but usually you only change it initially, 
when you have set it up you make a template of the document and use that when 
you start a new document.

If you have a lot of beamer macroes there is several ways to integrate those 
into LyX. you could make a layout-file that magically incorporates the macros 
into the preamble and give you the macros along with the rest of the 
beamermacros in the gui. Or you could make a template and add the macros in the 
preamble and use ERT to access it (however, as you remarked this will stand out 
from the rest of the document, as it is only meant as a last resort), or you 
could add them as local styles connected to the document, but integrated into 
the menus. What to chose is down to the type of macros, I guess. It is all 
about the best way of hiding the markup away.

Ingar Pareliussen

Re: Need some help figuring out LyX

[Scott Kostyshak]

I do not think that drag-and-drop is a good reason to switch to LyX.
You will suffer if you're the type that loves writing all the LaTeX
yourself. I'm sorry that you're using it "out of necessity". I've had
to use software out of necessity before and it is a horrible feeling.

You clearly want to customize things and in LyX there is a lot of room
for this. Take a read of Help > Customization. You can create your own
inset that will put stuff in the preamble (so it would be inside of
the document instead of going to Document > Settings). For this do a
search for the word "InPreamble" in Help > Customization.

That manual will also show you how to change the color of ERT. One way
to do this is to put the following in Document > Settings > Local
Layout:

InsetLayout ERT
LabelString   ERT
LatexType none
Decorationminimalistic
Font
 Family  typewriter
EndFont
LabelFont
 Color   latex
 SizeSmall
EndFont
MultiPar  true
CustomParsfalse
ForcePlaintrue
PassThru  true
ParbreakIsNewline true
KeepEmpty true
FreeSpacing   true
ForceLTR  true
End

For more permanent ways, read the Customization manual.

To preview your custom LaTeX, put it in a preview box (Insert > Preview).

Feedback is appreciated, but please be specific (e.g. with proposed
solutions not "it's ugly") and send patches; and be open to the
possibility that others don't like things the way you do.

Although I don't think it will happen, I really hope that you end up
falling in love with LyX and staying around the list to offer
suggestions. I really think that LyX has a lot to offer power LaTeX
users and this side is not often seen.

Santiago,

I do not have the ip-journal style file, not the image your are trying to
crop, so a full test is not possible. However: have you tried to find out
if the crop.sty is accessible from your Tex installation? In Linux (and
Mac, I guess), you could type the command kpsewhich crop.sty in a
terminal window. If it returns the full path to the file (something like:
/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/latex/crop/crop.sty) then you know
crop.sty is present and accessible. On Windows your  Tex installation
manager (MikTeX, perhaps) should offer similar facilities.


Cheers,

Stefano

/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/latex/crop/crop.sty) then you know
crop.sty is present and accessible. On Windows your  Tex installation
manager (MikTeX, perhaps) should offer similar facilities.

Thanks Günter,

I decided to use TeX's ifx statement. It sux that there's no elsif, but
it's reasonably useable, and if you need complex logic you can do it
by flipping flags.

I just downloaded the book you suggested. Personally, I like TeX more

Help on LaTeX if statement

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I need your help. Could you please point me to the best web resources
I'd need in order to understand LaTeX's if statement? What I need is
something with examples, so that even though I know absolutely nothing
about it now, the data from the resource will be crystal clear, as
opposed to man pages, whose ambiguous English combine with their lack
of examples to make them suitable only as a memory jogger for those who
already know.

I need to format a book a very different way depending on whether it's
printed on paper (no need for personalization in the footer), or as a
PDF file (must be personalized in the footer). Obviously I don't want
two separate source files.

This conditional compilation will be done with my Troubleshooting
Techniques of the Successful

the readable content, I'm bringing my 2002, LyX 1.2 or 1.3 written

character styles for the Dekl Tsur color workaround character styles
necessary before LyX got real character styles in 1.4.x. And by the
way, I still thank Dekl profusely for that --- I could not have
remained with LyX without *some* way to express character styles. I'd
like to give it a format number so that LyX doesn't need to convert on

You can define a conditional of your own thus:

\newif\onpaper

You set it true or false thus:

\onpapertrue
\onpaperfalse

You test it thus:

\ifonpaper
% do the things you want to do then
\else
% do something different
\fi

In this case you would have to set the variable manually each time, but 
it doesn't sound as if you have much choice in this case. But there are 
lots of other sorts of conditionals in LaTeX, if you want to try to do 
it automatically. You can easily test if a command is defined, for 
example, and sometimes that will give you all you need.

Hi Ioannis,

If it were me, assuming I wanted the Acknowledgements on their own
page, what I would do is create an environment (LaTeX-speak for
paragraph styles) for the Acknowledgement's title, and one for its body
text, and use those. No muss, no fuss, no hassle.

The way I make environments is by using a layout file. If you don't
already have one, here are some details:


http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm#_MakingYourOwnLayout

Since that article was written, LyX has become much more accommodating
to having your layout file in the same directory as your document, so
these days, that's what I always do. No symlink required.

Thanks,

SteveT

   I would be grateful if someone could point out how to create an

   my work in the style of the abstract.
  
  Have you tried this:

I am writing my thesis as an article and since I am a Lyx newbie
  googling
   it did not help much as I am not familiar with LateX code.
  
   Please talk to me like a newbie because I really am! Thanks in
   advance.

Re: Help With Acknowledgements Please

[Paul Rubin]

Have you looked at File  New from Template  thesis  Acknowledgments.lyx?
I would try copying its contents into your thesis. (Note: the template may
ask you to let it create a dummy thesis document. You can delete that
document once you've determined whether pasting into your actual thesis works.)
