Re: Strange Pacer Question

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

John,

Have a look at https://writer2latex.sourceforge.net/index.html

I have used Writer2LaTeX a few years ago and found it very
helpful when using what was then called the "Ultraclean"
Option, which I don't see on this much more current version
on cursory look.

Install both writer2latex.oxt and writer2latex-config.oxt.
Then play with the Configuration in Tools -> Options (which
on my Mac only appear of an ODT is open).

You would need to save as ODT first, then export to LaTeX,
from which you would be able to use tex2lyx (the -m option
canbehelpful), and then you could pull into LyX.

If the Word format you are getting is always the same (per
lawyer) which is likely, because they would use some sort of
"template" much of this could be automated :-)-O

The PDF5 might look like

File -> Export -> Export [PDF (LuaTeX)]

which I have tied to Command-R on my Mac(s).

greetings, el

Re: Strange Pacer Question

[John White]

I don't think so.  What I am looking into is this:  Pacer will only accept pdf 
files. If those who 
export to pdf from within a word document don't have to "flatten" the document 
before 
uploading to Pacer, while those who use lyx are forced to flatten any document 
imported from a 
Word doc before uploading to Pacer, I want to let the Pacer folks know this and 
suggest that 
Pacer not default to Word.  

Word is so dominant that even in Nevada State Courts we are required to convert 
any editable 
document to Word before the judge will even look at it. If there must be a 
standard here, I think 
it should be an open source standard.  Courts should not be in the business of 
requiring 
everyone to use Word (or any other proprietary product).

Re: Strange Pacer Question

[John White]

Hi el,

If I get a Word doc, it opens in libreoffice, which allows for export to pdf.  
If I recall, I generally 
either highlight the words involved while in libreoffice and paste directly to 
lyx or instead export 
to pdf, highlight the relevant portions of the pdf and paste to lyx. 

It took me forever to get the ps2pdf right (so it would become pleading paper, 
with a vertical 
line followed by line numbers to the left of the page.  When I use anything 
else I have to load 
pleading paper and use that.

I plan to try your PDF5 trick this weekend.

Re: Strange Pacer Question

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

John,

did you ever try to export using PDF5 (LuaLaTeX)?

Recent PSTricks should load
https://github.com/zauguin/luapstricks when using LuaLaTeX. If
that works for the "normal" way try and upload into Pacer and
see what happens. If Pacer accepts that see what happens when
you import a Word document and generate the PDF with LuaLaTeX.

How do you "import" Word documents?

John,

I defenstrated from Microsoft 26 years ago so cannot directly answer your
question. However, I might help reduce the time and effort to 'flatten' Word
docs without running them over in your car.

When I have a .doc/.docx file sent that I want to incorporate into a LyX
document I'll do either of two things:

1. Highlight the desired text in the Word document then use Edit -> Paste
Special -> Join Lines to put it in the LyX doc.

2. When I need the entire Word doc and it's sent as a PDF I use pdftotext,
then Insert -> Plain Text, Join Lines. If it's a .doc/.docx file I load it
in LibreOffice Writer then save as a text file before inserting it.

Since your LyX document is set to include line numbers I think these actions
would work for you.

Re: Strange Pacer Question

[John White]

I use lyx 2.3.6 on my debian (bullseye) system  I often file in Pacer, the 
database used by the US 
federal court system.  Normally, I just do regular lyx stuff and once the file 
is ready, export with 
pst2pdf (to insure that line numbers exist at the left side of each page) and 
upload to Pacer.  

HOWEVER, I often get files from other attorneys who use microsoft Word, which I 
import into lyx 
and reformat. 

To file in Pacer, the document must be "flattened."  This poses no problem with 
files created in 
lyx.  However, whenever I import a Word file and convert it to lyx, Pacer balks 
and refuses to 
accept the document unless I "flatten" it.  If  I am at the office, I "flatten" 
it  by printing out the 
lyx document and, using the copier, scan it back to me.  I then can upload that 
scanned file to 
pacer.  If I am at home, I "flatten" it by using "$ pdf2ps orig.pdf - | ps2pdf 
- flattened.pdf", which 
usually works.

Pacer itself uses Microsoft Word and brags about it incessantly.  

My question is this:  Do those who use Microsoft Word also have to "flatten" 
files before filing in 
the federal courts or does Pacer just accept Microsoft Word files "as is"?  If 
so, there might be 
some sort of anti-trust implications in all this.

Graphics font question

[Edwin Burmeister via lyx-users]

Hi--

I am using LyX 2.3.7 on a Mac (silicon chip) running OS Ventura 13.4.1.

[As an aside, months ago I discovered that Browse did not work
for inserting a graphic file and found the workaround.]

I have a different problem. In the PDF created by LyX, one sees, for example, 
the following:


Figure 1: Relationship between utility-space and gains-space 



Note from the above that I have figured out how to increase the font size for 
the caption, which entails first switching to math mode.

But I cannot figure out how to increase the font size for “Figure 1” (etc for 
Figure 2, ...) so that it matches the larger font size in the caption.

Will you please let me know whether or not there is any way to do this?

Many thanks.

Ed

biblatex question

[Rich Shepard]

I'm getting a build error at the bibliography grey box at the end of the
document: "Package inputenc error: keyboard character used is undefined."

In the biblatex cheat sheet the first command in the preamble should be
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
but in my document it's
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}

I don't see where in Settings I can change that. It must be an option in one
of the settings and I don't know which one.

Pointer needed.

Thank you very much Herbert and Jürgen,

it seems, that tocstyle is now withdrawn from the KOMA-script bundle and 
replaced by tocbasic, which is loaded automatically by KOMA-script.

After a little RTFM I tried and indeed had success :-)

With KOMA script, just use in preamble

Change the 4em value to whatever you see fit.

Thank you, Ricardo,

well, I only needed the section changings, the chapter spacings with 2 
digits are correct.


In the meanwhile I found on stackexchange this suggestion:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/436063/spacing-between-number-and-text-in-toc

\usepackage{tocloft}
\advance\cftsecnumwidth 0.5em\relax
\advance\cftsubsecindent 0.5em\relax
\advance\cftsubsecnumwidth 0.5em\relax

And this gives a fine output for me :-)

Don't worry, it's not your fault ;)

You need to change the spacing between the numbering and the heading
itself. You can do that by writing something like this in the preamble

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\l@chapter{
\@dottedtocline{2}{1.5em}{3em}}
\renewcommand\l@section{
\@dottedtocline{2}{1.5em}{3em}}
\makeatother

That will change the spacing for chapters and sections, just play a bit
with the numbers (most of the time you'll only need to change the 3em).

bottom posting question

[John White]

I use lyx exclusively in my law practice.  I like this list but find reading 
through the lyx posts in order to get to the bottom tiring.  
Perhaps,while sticking to bottom posting, the sender of a replying 
email should be encouraged to delete a portion of the prior text no 
longer necessary, keeping enough to maintain context? This would 
speed up browsing by those lurking around (like me) without violating 
the bottom posting requirement.

Frankly, I almost always read posts by Dr Eberhard W Lisse 
 as he doesn't usually bottom post and is very lyx-
knowledgeable.

Hello LyX Users: Question about asymptote package within a LyX document.

[Enrique Comer]

Hello LyX Users:
I just read the article by Justin Domke with link: 
https://justindomke.wordpress.com/2017/05/24/the-second-and-third-best-features-of-lyx-you-arent-using/.



My question is:

►How could we call the asymptote package from within a LyX document?.




For example: From Justin Domke, we can write:


\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw[red] (0,0) -- (0,1);
\draw[green] (0,1) -- (1,1);
\draw[red] (1,1) -- (1,0);
\draw[blue] (1,0) -- (0,0);
\end{tikzpicture}
and obtain the corresponding figure.
How could we prepare LyX to be able to evaluate, for example:


begin{asy}size(0,100);import geometry;triangle 
t=triangle(b=3,alpha=90,c=4);dot((0,0));draw(t);draw(rotate(90)*t,red);draw(shift((-4,0))*t,blue);draw(reflect((0,0),(1,0))*t,green);draw(slant(2)*t,magenta);
\end{asy}
and obtain the figure? (note: the example code is from the gallery in link: 
https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/gallery/triangle.asy )






►I already tested the previous asymptote code from a LyX document, with the 
LaTeX preamble including: \usepackage[inline]{asymptote}, but the result was 
the generation of PDF without errors, but also without the expected figure.





Thank you very much in advance for any pointer to answer this question.


Congratulations for supporting the use of the great editor LyX.Best 
regards,Enrique Comer

Its already set to the Dejavu fonts.  I vote to leave this alone as alt + or 
alt - while editing 
a lyx doc is all I need. If I had known about the alt adjustments, I would not 
have posted 
in the first place.

Re: Screen font question-inline

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

ok, than we'll move to the deep stuff :-)-O

I don't have Debian, but on my Mac there is a ~/.lyx directory where
there is a file called lyxrc which has, in my case,

\screen_font_roman "Noto Serif"
\screen_font_sans "Noto Sans"
\screen_font_typewriter "Noto Sans Mono"

so you want end LyX, then locate the file and change that to read
something like

\screen_font_roman "DejaVu Serif"
\screen_font_sans "DejaVu Sans"
\screen_font_typewriter "Hack"

and then start LyX again and see what that does.

Assuming I understand and followed instructions, this did not help.  Screen 
gets smaller 
but shows same thing.

Not sure I understand "windowed" but nothing I do allows me to see the buttons.

Again, Alt + or Alt - while in the lyx document being edited, works great.  I 
have no need 
to fix it in Preferences.

Thanks to you and Doc for your help.

A couple of things you might try with the dialog:

1. if the dialog is opening maximized (full screen), try clicking the
   middle button in the upper right corner to toggle it from full
   screen to windowed; and
2. if it is windowed (not maximized) and you still can't see the
   buttons, try grabbing the upper edge or top left corner with the
   mouse and resizing it.

On my system, you can stretch or shrink the dialog window up to a point, 
but there is a minimum size below which you cannot go.

Re: Screen font question-inline

[John White]

Thanks Pavel (and Doc - last email),

Nothing I do seems to make the screen larger (or smaller) while on the 
screen-fonts 
page in Preferences. I will try again upon receiving further (and more 
specific) 
instructions.

However, now that I know about (Alt - and Alt +) while in the lyx document, I 
am a happy 
camper and have no need to change screen fonts in Preferences.

Indeed it looks your screen is too small to show the whole dialog.
It will be even worse with 2.4 and we should perhaps do something about it.

Anyway for the moment, even though you don't see the buttons you should
still be able to use them via accelerators, i.e. for OK button you need
to press Alt+O.

Does it help with saving your preferences?

That's very odd. On my system, all the Tools > Preferences dialogs have 
the same frame, including buttons at the bottom labeled "Restore", "OK", 
"Apply" and "Close", along with a check box labeled "Apply to current 
session only". Could you post a screenshot of the preferences dialog you 
get? It may indicate a bug (or maybe something funky about Qt on your

On Lyx, my screen font window does not show an "Apply to current session only"

Nor does it show any way to save the changes.

Strange. I have the German UI, however the translation shall be ok.

You can choose the fonts serif, sans & mono (drop down menu).
Next several options for the size (UI only).
And there is a bottom line with a check box ("Apply to current session only"), next to

First thing: Before clicking OK in the fonts dialog, make sure that 
"Apply to current session only" is not checked.


Second thing: LyX will try to write the changes to its preferences file 
(in the "screen & fonts" section). On Ubuntu and Mint, that file is

Alt/Option key question

[Christopher Menzel]

Gentle LyX folk:

I use the Emacs UI for LyX, which means the Option key (or Alt key, for PC 
users) gets a good workout — e.g., Opt-D deletes word-forward, Opt-F moves the 
cursor forward by word, etc. (In the standard LyX UI, those keys bring up the 
File and Document menus, respectively, so I disable that behavior with a custom 
stdmenus.inc file.) My issue is this. If I just depress the Option key and 
release it without having hit another key, it steals the cursor — it’s 
apparently waiting for an F or a D or one of the other keys (which I’ve 
deactivated) that bring up a menu — and I have to depress the Option key and 
let it up again to get the cursor back. This is a bit irritating: I often find 
myself depressing the Option key absent-mindedly when I’m thinking and it’s 
annoying to start typing and have nothing happen. Thus my question: Is there a 
way to prevent this, so that depressing/releasing the Option key simply has no 
effect on the cursor? Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks.

A window size question

[Daniel CLEMENT via lyx-users]

Hello,

Here is a small annoyance I have about the main window size. I now have an 
external display, its resolution is much higher that of the MacBook screen 
(whereas in my [revious setup the resolutions were the same).

Every time I switch from one display to another, the LyX window reverts to its 
default size, the one you get when you start LyX for the 1st time. That’s quite 
small: no more that the quarter of the small built-in display.

I’d like LyX to retain, at least, the window size of the small display, like 
several other apps do.

Is there a setting which can do that? (The “remember window geometry” option 
doesn’t help.)

TIA - BR, Daniel

I would suggest loading the xurl package (using \sloppy can change other

The xurl package  allows line breaks in URLs at alphanumeric characters and

"filname.lyx~" is created when you save explicitly.

On the other hand “#.lyx#” is created automatically (on a

On the other hand “#.lyx#” is created automatically (on a

That should probably be clarified in the "User's Guide". Currently, this 
is not so:


"C.1.2.2 Backup & saving

Backup original documents when saving creates a backup copy of the file 
in the state when it was opened or when it was saved the last time. It 
is stored in the Backup directory (see section [sec:Paths]) or in the 
same folder as your document if no Backup directory is specified. The 
backup file has the file extension “.lyx~”.


With the option Backup documents, every, you can specify the time 
between backup saves."


So, something should be added like

"This backup file has the format “#.lyx#”."

Maybe even add these filename conventions to the Preferences dialog.

Best,

it is better to only ask one question per email with appropriate

Then it is helpful to produce a minimal working example (MWE)

You did not mention the class you used (which failed) so it is

Dear Lyx team, I'm not an expert user of lyx and would like to know

I'm currently using Lyx version 2.3.6 with raspian and I stumbled on a

The document I'm writing is in a book standard template.
I'm using parts, chapters and sections in my document with counters 
that should contain part, chapter and section numbers.
The document in pdf is perfect but the lyx displays the counters 
differently (wrongly).
This is what I did (surfing on google) to try to have it properly 
displayed without success :(

I can't understand what I'm doing wrong could you help?


Can you post the LyX file itself? Better yet, post a SMALL sample file

Absolutely true!

For more on making email communication easier and more straightforward, 
everybody
who speaks English should read the following document:

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Also, the LyX list was the list I remember that introduced itself to the MWE, 
the
minimal example necessary to produce the symptom. Using an MWE makes the cause
obvious to those in the know, and if your life is like mine, by the time you've
created the MWE, the root cause is obvious to you so you needn't post the 
question
at all.

I can add some things:

* Don't top-post in a group discussion: It breaks relationships between 
questions
and answers.

* Instead, interleave post, where you answer each question directly below the
question. This way all know which question the answer is answering.

* If you simply must top post in a group discussion, instead of using pronouns,
reproduce exactly what you're talking about. Those who top-post "I agree, and
furthermore the foo should come earlier" leave the ambiguities: 1) With whom 
does he
agree and about what, and 2) The foo should come earlier than what?

* When you email a lot of questions, anticipate top posters, and number your
questions so the top poster can at least use those numbers to link the answer 
to the
question.

* Nothing I've said here implies you shouldn't follow the usual and customary
business email standard of top posting in order to preserve every assertion and
cover everybody's ass.

* Whether you top post or not, remove all context quotes not relevant to what 
you're
saying. This makes your meaning much clearer, and removes the task of reading
through hundreds or thousands of moot words. The #1 argument FOR top-posting in
mailinng lists is people don't want to go through hundreds or thousands of words
just to get to what you say. This is a valid argument, but if you remove 
unneeded
context quotes this argument ceases to be a problem.

* For free software centric mailing lists, for gosh sakes use plain text, not 
html.

* Make sure your email client does quoting in a way that different peoples'
contributions are identified by indents or color or whatever their email client
does. There's nothing like reading an email with same-level quoting, in which it
looks like the poster is arguing with himself and you can't tell who said what.

By the way, most of what I mention above applies to any group discussion: email,
forums, slack, stackoverflow, or others.

Use better subject lines, please? (Was: question)

[Kevin Cole]

Hi,

Since most lists that I'm on seem to consist of messages that begin as a
question, followed by replies attempting to answer the question or gather
more information, a subject line consisting of nothing but the word
"question" is pretty useless.

So, a gentle nudge to some: Try to come up with a concise subject line that
summarizes the actual question, please. No need to include the word
"question" (in most cases, I suspect, though there's always an exception to
a rule somewhere).

Wolfgang,

that is only an information, no more no less. You have to do nothing here.

form the documentation:

The locale will be used to look for a collation tailoring for that locale.
 It will generate an informational warning if it finds none. /
This is not a problem/ as most standard collation cases are covered
by the standard UCA and many locales neither have nor need any
special collation tailoring.

You do not get this info with

even if I reduce the lyx file to just one reference and using the large 
bib file. There is no Bibliography output in the pdf and the citation is 
not as expected, but a bold author name.


If I, however, use a minimal bib file with just this one citation, it 
works fine.


For me this looks like lyx goes through the (large) bib file, finds 
something which it does not like and does not build a correct pdf 
output, although it could if it would use from the (large) bib file only 
this one reference.


Is this correct? And could it be changed so that one is not forced to 
check the whole bib file for possible errors before submitting it to the 
lyx file?

\usepackage[titletoc]{appendix}

And in the body, instead of using LyX's appendix marker, enter in TeX
mode

\begin{appendices}

before and

\end{appendices}

after the appendix.

TOC Question

[Joseph Hesse via lyx-users]

I am writing a book with separate chapters in a master document.  I 
added an appendix and it appears in the master document below a line 
that says Appendix. When I look at the TOC the appendix items do not 
have a heading before them that says "Appendix", just the lettered 
chapter in the appendix.  Is there a way I can get the word "Appendix" 
to appear before the lettered items?

Thank you,
Joe

Setting the environment to "Standard" and indenting did exactly what I 
wanted. Thanks to everyone who responded!

The OP's question was ambiguous because he showed no bullets at level
1. He's received an easy and correct answer from three different
people, in a timely manner. The OP has not responded. This was the OP's
one and only post to this list. At this point I think we can mark this
issue as closed.

Yes. In the LyX environment, press the Enter key twice, and you'll
start a new paragraph. If for some reason that doesn't work, go to the
Environment dropdown and chooose Standard.

After doing everything as above, with the cursor in paragraph 3, use 
Insert > Custom Item to open a custom item inset. Leave the inset empty. 
I would put it at the start of the paragraph (just after the bullet 
inserted by LyX) for neatness, but I don't think it actually matters 
where in the paragraph you put it. The undesired bullet will still 
appear in the LyX GUI, but when you view the document it should be gone.

By "indent it", I meant "increase the depth" (by pressing the tab key,

Just a general advise (independent of using LyX): Minor OS updates 
(12.1, 12.2, etc.) should be no problem. But it might be a good idea to 
hold of on major OS update when some important deadline is coming up. 
Major versions are much more likely to be disruptive.

Next time I'll try alt-p enter.

template

for all my future beamer documents?

Comment:

A just-completed presentation has 6 images in it. The first two share 
their
frames with text so I used columns and two individual columns per 
frame with

the image on the left and the text on the right. This worked just fine.

But, the next 4 images are large and each occupies an entire frame by
itself. I inserted the first one, tweaked the size and position, and used
alt-p/shift-enter to create a new frame environment. But, nothing 
happened;

no new frame. I looked in the beamer manual but the word 'image' appears
only once and in reference to using overlays.

After much futzing I discovered a solution. When I defined a new frame
environment I inserted an itemize environment, then immediately created a
new, following frame. With the latter patiently waiting I inserted the 
image

in the first new frame, set its size and position, then moved to the next
frame that was created before inserting the image.

I hesitate to call this a bug because I don't know if there's a way I've
missed to insert only an image in a frame then create a new frame 
after that

other than what I did.
