Re: upright text in Alternative Proof String

Hi all,

I would like to generate output like

\begin{proof}[Proof of Theorem~\textup{3}]

\end{proof}

However, LyX does not seem to let me set the text style of "upright" 
within the "Alternative Proof String" -- when I set it there it just 
immediately changes back to "Default". Is there a way around this?


thanks and best,
Alex

Inside the Alternative Proof String, after "Theorem", click Insert > TeX 
Code (or use the shortcut, usually Ctrl+L but your mileage may vary), 
then type "\textup{3}".

Re: can i just upgrade from 2.3.7 to 2.3.8 without any loss of data/files and etc...?

[Eberhard W Lisse]

I use homebrew as package manager on the mac, and manually installed
2.4.0 RC4 over the app. No drama, rally, a few little hickups here and
there, maybe also due to my upgrading basictex.

Homebrew then put 2.3.8 on top of that and I only noticed the
difference in the Find command, which now opens a (permanent) window on
the bottom). All 2.4.0 files were read.

If you use a package manager, just upgrade.

2.3.7 -> 2.3.8 should be seamless. 2.3.7 -> 2.4.0 might need some tinkering 
around

The main reason why 2.3.8 was released is that it can read 2.4.x files as well.
If you don't need that and the fixes described in the announcement sound 
irrelevant you can stay with 2.3.7.

Changing the zoom level forces a redrawing of previews. I've made a 
shortcut for


command-sequence buffer-zoom-in; buffer-zoom-out

which leaves the zoom level as it was but forces a document-wide 
redrawing of previews.

Fatihcan,

your PDF shows up in LyX as you expect as a preview on the canvas. This
is with LyX 2.4.0~RC4 with TeXLive 2024 on Ubuntu 22.04.4

PDF preview works for you apart from this file?

LyX does not install anything to do with MikTeX. It may be that 
configuration is triggering some kind of behavior in MikTeX. We've seen 
odd behavior from MikTeX before, which is why we stopped bundling it 
with LyX.



Also, originally, the URL was ftp://ftp...

When Firefox got that URL, Firefox then asked me to find an FTP app.

Which URL was originally an ftp link? The links below all work for me.

Public release of LyX version 2.3.8
===

We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.8. This is the eighth
and final maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. LyX 2.4.0 will be released
very shortly, so many users may wish to wait for that rather than upgrading
to 2.3.8. Some users, however, may want or need to continue using the 2.3.x
series. We encourage those users to upgrade to this version.

You can download LyX 2.3.8 from 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.lyx.org/Download/__;!!OToaGQ!v5YtxYIOLpoM3cybybvHQURCuBWiIADZaReE33mw--4-z1DcR6fDuAlZriazUX4lGhd56fB869xANSSP$
 .

LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
released under a Free and Open Source Software license.

LyX 2.3.8 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
more reliable and more stable. Several bugs and crashes have been fixed here,
but the main addition is the ability to import and export files in the new
2.4.x format.

If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.8, please open a bug report at
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome__;!!OToaGQ!v5YtxYIOLpoM3cybybvHQURCuBWiIADZaReE33mw--4-z1DcR6fDuAlZriazUX4lGhd56fB8605Nk5Vk$
 . If you're not sure whether it
really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
 lists.lyx.org) and ask.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation
that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which
is at 
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wiki.lyx.org/__;!!OToaGQ!v5YtxYIOLpoM3cybybvHQURCuBWiIADZaReE33mw--4-z1DcR6fDuAlZriazUX4lGhd56fB86-njFsJk$
 . If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the
LyX users' list (lyx-users  lists.lyx.org), where you will find an
active community of people who are ready to help.

We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.3.8.

The LyX team.

Hi Patrick,

I was traveling so I'm sorry for the late reply. I just sat down to take a look.

Thanks for sending an example to the list.

There is a lot of non-minimal elements in your .lyx file. Can you please
make as simple of an example as possible to illustrate the issue?

Yes, this is an open source project, so anyone can work on it. Whether
something gets accepted into the codebase is a different question, but
this seems like something that could be useful to a lot of people. Doing
what you describe will take some real programming, though we'll all be
happy to point you in the right direction. That kind of discussion is
better on lyx-devel, though.

I should probably warn you that, with 2.4.0 about to be released, it
will be a while before the next major release. The sort of thing you
describe would mean storing new info in the LyX file, which changes the
format of the file. That can only be done at major releases, so this
would have to be for 2.5.0.

That said, LyX already has an extensible ability to include 'external
material'. If you

How do I specify options in the document class options?
My usepackage line is as follows:

\usepackage[bidi=basic, layout=tabular, provide=*]{babel}

Which I assume I should comment out, I then have:

\babelprovide[main, import]{hebrew}

\babelprovide{rl}

Which I assume I shouldn't comment out.

Should be fixed in 2.4.0 which is about to release. Can you test with
2.4RC4? It is available in the download page in LyX's web page.

You can specify in the Language package "always babel" and pass the option
in the document class options.

That's an "end of sentence period". This is only relevant for some
languages (such as English) where periods at the end of sentences have
more space than within sentences (e.g., after abbreviations).

LaTeX automatically inserts such longer spaces only after lowercase
letters. So if your sentence ends with an uppercase letter ("This is
Richard III.") or a number, you'll need this (in English).

Vice versa, you need a "normal space" (Ctrl+Alt+Space, LateX "\ ")
after periods following lowercase letters within sentences (e.g., with
abbreviations).

I observe the very same with math insets when the preselected output is

Previews takes up huge space and make work uncomfortable. Remedy /

And just to confirm, you can reproduce this from a fresh file, with only
the following in the preamble?

  \usepackage{amssymb}
  \DeclareUnicodeCharacter{25A2}{$\square$}

The reason I ask is that I wonder if something else in your main

I have tried clipping graphics to remove white spaces and centre it on the

horizontally by changing the “x” values on the clipping  entries and this
seems to be quite easy the vertical parameters (y) are more difficult to
adjust. I am finding the outcome of adjustments is difficult to predict
making trimming time consuming. How does the presentation logic respond to
changes in clipping values I suspect the float function interacts with
this?. All my figures are one page high so I really don’t need to float
(?) 1-  would suppressing floating help and if so what is best way ?


Brian,

Perhaps I'm not understanding your issues, so take my comments with this
thought in mind.

When I insert a figure I use the 'insert figure float' icon to open a figure
window. In the caption window I add a label then the caption text. When
done, I use the trackball to set the cursor above the caption. Pressing
Alt-A C centers the cursor in the figure window and that's where I click the
'insert graphics' icon.

Browsing to the figure's location (usually an 'images' subdirectory in the
project's directory tree) I select the figure. When inserted I use
ctrl-shift s to save the figure.

Now I can trim excess space surrounding the image to be seen in the complied
report. Right-clicking on the image itself brings up the settings option.
Clicking on that I select the 'Coordinates' tab and, by trial-and-error
adjust the x and y values until the excess white space (or other unwanted
content) is removed. While doing this I use 'Apply' button instead of the
'Save' button so I can continue trimming until satisfied.

HTH,

Rich

Thanks for the report, Paolo. I can't reproduce. Are you able to try to
figure out a simple recipe to reproduce?

I tried the following:

1. New document.
2. Insert > Insert New Branch and I called it "blah".
3. Insert text into the branch.

Everything seems as expected here.

Perhaps you can only reproduce with a particular document?

Does the crash happen after you type a letter inside the branch? Or when
you move the cursor outside of the branch?

manual cancellation thing doesn't always work. What might be nice 
would be to make the timeout a preference, and then setting it at 0 
would disable it. Obviously too late to do that for 2.4.0.


Actually, on closer inspection, it turns out we did disable this for 2.4.0:

int timeout_ms()
{
    // Starting in 2.4.0, we allow the user to cancel the background
    // process at any time with LFUN_EXPORT_CANCEL, so the timeout dialog
    // is no longer useful.
    // "-1" effectively disables the timeout (it is a special case in
    // SystemcallPrivate::waitWhile()).
    return -1;
}

Apparently, you did it, Scott!

For what it's worth, the previous timeout was 3 minutes. Note that this 
is per-process, so running LaTeX multiple times could take more than 3 
minutes, and it would not trigger this message.

You need to use the command-sequence LFUN to do this. It just tells 
LyX that you are going to give a series of commands. Otehrwise, it 
interprets everything as one command. So something like:


command-sequence insert-preview; insert-ert

Riki, I believe this is called a "thinko". It should be:

 command-sequence preview-insert; ert-insert

I've considered a shortcut for this sequence but prefer to insert the 
insets separately using  Ctrl+P to insert the preview inset and the LyX 
supplied Ctrl+L to  insert an ert inset. That way I can select text or a 
table and simply tap Ctrl+P to wrap it in a preview inset and see (after 
a pause) the result. If I want an ert inset inside a preview inset then 
I hold down the Ctrl key and tap P then L (which are diagonally adjacent 
on my keyboard).

The preview inset is a LyX-only thing, so to speak. It does not 
correspond to anything in LaTeX. It just causes whatever's in it to be 
displayed in LyX as a 'preview'. So there's no way to affect the LaTeX 
output of these, since there isn't any.


To do something like this, you would probably do best to define a custom 
inset that just wraps whatever's inside it in \begin{center} and 
\end{center}. Or, if these previews are in their own paragraph, then 
define a paragraph style to do the same thing.

Re: Questions about an Idea for a feature in LyX

[Richard Kimberly Heck]

On 5/2/24 18:28, matan guedj wrote:

Hello,
I don't really know how the mail listing works, new to the concept.
I've had a few questions revolving around an idea recently trying to 
teach myself pgfplots.
I'm fairly new to LyX and LaTeX in general (started using both in 
January) and I'm also no programmer but I wanted to add a new feature 
to LyX of a plotting tool.
What I'm thinking of is on the math bar or some other bar, add a plot 
icon that will open a window with all the parameters for the mostly 
used plots (2D/3D, Cartesian/polar/spherical..., scatter/bars/pie..., 
parametric curves or surfaces, implicit functions, vector fields, and 
more).
I'm still learning pgfplots but it follows a fairly simple and well 
defined formula for most of the plots so it most likely can be automated.

And now it opens some questions:

1. Is there a way I can start work on it as a personal project (I 
specifically want it to be a personal thing, to see if I'm capable of 
this, and also it can't look bad on the resume), and when I believe 
it's done and an acceptable feature, present it to the developers and 
implement it for the next version?


Yes, this is an open source project, so anyone can work on it. Whether 
something gets accepted into the codebase is a different question, but 
this seems like something that could be useful to a lot of people. Doing 
what you describe will take some real programming, though we'll all be 
happy to point you in the right direction. That kind of discussion is 
better on lyx-devel, though.


I should probably warn you that, with 2.4.0 about to be released, it 
will be a while before the next major release. The sort of thing you 
describe would mean storing new info in the LyX file, which changes the 
format of the file. That can only be done at major releases, so this 
would have to be for 2.5.0.


That said, LyX already has an extensible ability to include 'external 
material'. If you look at Insert> File> External Material, you'll see 
all kinds of options there. It would not be difficult to add a pgfplot 
option, I think. This would not provide for the dialog you describe, but 
it would be a start. See Ch 7 of the Embedded Objects help file for how 
this can be done.


I can at least imagine a way of indicating in the external template an 
extra 'page' in the settings dialog that would allow for choosing of 
options, etc, like you describe. So it might not be necessary to write a 
completely new dialog, etc.


2. I also thought that the output on the LyX document itself would be 
a new environment (like the math environment) that can render those 
plots directly into LyX document without the need to compile the 
document to check if the plot is what you really wanted, so how do I 
create such an environment?


LyX already has the ability to display all kinds of things, so I don't 
think that would be difficult. Basically, LyX just needs to be told how 
to convert the file into some graphics format it can display. This can 
be done with 'external material' already.

You don’t mention what platform you are on (MacOS? Windows? Linux?) so it makes 
it difficult to answer your question precisely. If you are on Windows, then I 
believe all you need to do in LyX (as Eberhard notes in his reply) is go into 
Document → Settings → Fonts and select “Use non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX)". 
That should then make all of your Windows system fonts available to you, which 
should include all of Microsoft's “Clear Type” fonts — Calibri, Cambria, etc. 
The same procedure should work under MacOS as long as you have Microsoft Office 
(or, at least, Word) installed. Under Linux, you can find detailed instructions 
for snagging these fonts →HERE 
←. (As I 
understand it, the script used in the Linux process extracts these fonts from a 
free Microsoft application (PowerPoint Viewer 2007) and hence that it is legal 
to install them for personal use.)

Chris Menzel

ps: I would agree with Eberhard in recommending a serif font for your text. :-) 
I am using Cambria (and its associated math font) for a large document and I 
must say it looks quite nice!--

Re: Calibri Font

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Brian,

have you googled this?

   https://www.google.com/search?q=calibri+latex

gives 94 answers. You would put the commands into the Preamble.


Now, however, comes the obvious question: Why? :-)-O

Calibri, besides being proprietary (and not on CTAN for easy
installation into LaTeX), is a Sans-Serif font.

For a documents Serifs are usually recommended for readability, whereas
Sans Serifs are more for presentations. Obviously this is
debatable :-)-O

There is a huge number of publicly available fonts on CTAN. You can look
at the font catalogue

   https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/

or experiment with a test document containing blindtext (lorem ispum)
and use

   Document -> Settings... -> Fonts

The pulldown will offer a number of fonts and if you untick

   Use non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX)

it'll offer a (limited) number of fonts and even show if they are
already installed. (You can install via the TeX Live manager).

If you tick it there is a much larger offering, which I assume are the
ones available on the OS (in my case Mac).

I myself am a NoTo fan,by the way, with Source Code Pro for Typewriter.

I don't understand what "LyX M3 saga" you are referring to here. No one is
reporting any problems running LyX on M3 hardware. You should
experience absolutely no issues running 2.3.7 or the latest 2.4.0 RC on any
recent Mac, let alone a new M3 iMac. Nor do I understand what it is you are
"fixing", as you said you were "happily using LyX 2.3.6.2" under High

So just get your new Mac, install LyX and get to work. :-)

Dear LyX users,

What is your platform ? If it is Wayland on Linux it is not possible yet 
because the painting occurs on an intermediary pixmap and this kill 
subpixel aliasing.


I have a patch that can allow to avoid that, at the price of painting 
the whole screen at each update. I am not sure at this point whether the 
performance cost is acceptable.

Just get your nice new Mac (running Sonoma presumably), install the latest 
release version of LyX (2.3.7) and upgrade when 2.4 is released, which should 
be quite soon. Both should install and run flawlessly on most any Mac running 
most any reasonably recent version of MacOS.

OK, that's similar to using LanguageTool/Andtidote or some other
grammar checker via web...

It would be nice to have something more integrated with LyX!

Ok, it is now at: https://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Examples/gnuplot.xtemplate/
you can link to the file from wiki via 
uploads:/Examples/gnuplot.xtemplate/file...

We have some mention of .gp files in user guide of lyx 2.5:
https://www.lyx.org/trac/export/f3c5ff9cb72c5231f1e1e81452e67d6f12dadecb/lyxgit/lib/doc/UserGuide.lyx

You can edit the footnote about gnuplot (with lyx 2.4 if you have it) to 
mention the
template in wiki page and its advantage - then send the update of the UG to me, 
I'll commit it.

Yes, it would be good if it gets tested on other systems (It works here
nicely on Ubuntu 22.04.4 with LyX 2.4.0~RC4 and gnuplot 5.4 patchlevel
2).

Hello,

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ok, I see. I think it would be good to put this explanation in the
wiki.

Apart from that, I could upload your scripts into wiki upload section
if you want to just link them. And we could also mention in in our
manuals if you send me the pach :) Up to you.

I could even see something like that landing as part of lyx 2.5,

Aw: Re: Index is not displayed

[Andreas Plihal via lyx-users]

Hi Riki,

 

many thanks for your response. I have a few questions about your suggestions that I would like to quote:

 

 

    I have sometimes had trouble with the index not displaying the first time I export a file. If I change something trivial (add a space at the end of a paragraph, say) and re-export, then it appears.

 

I have already made many, many changes to my 250-page book, which is far from finished. There will probably have been spaces at the end of some paragraphs. Unfortunately that had no effect.

 

   One way to try to debug this would be to export the file to LaTeX and run everything manually. 

 

Unfortunately I don't understand this: How do I export the file to LaTeX and how do I do everything manually?

 

   Or just launch LyX from a terminal, and watch the output when you export. 

 


How do I start LyX from a terminal? And how do I observe the output when exporting?


Andreas

I can't find the xindex processor you mentioned in my selection list. Instead I find xindy. Did you perhaps mean that? It doesn't work with xindy either.

 

Even if, as you suggested, I use makeindex as the processor and enter the option "-s german.ist" (Jürgen commented that he cannot find german.ist on his computer), the index is not displayed.

I got it myself after a lot of trying and comparing:

In my file gnuplot.xtemplate I wrote "InputFormat gp", because
"InputFormat" and FileFilter extension are the same in the case of Xfig
(fig) and Inkscape (svg), but not with gnuplot: "InputFormat gnuplot"
and FileFilter .gp works!

For anyone interested I attached my working gnuplot.xtemplate. 

Sorry for making noise!

Hm, I don’t have libhunspell-dev installed but I definitely have spellchecking

Here is a page with thesis templates for LyX
https://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Thesis

If your university has a latex template, you can usually adapt that to LyX with 
some combination of using the Document->Settings->Preamble and the LyX layout 
file.

Thank you for the suggestion. I finally got the bright idea of looking 
through the configure script for relevant flags and found 
“--with-included-hunspell”. Apparently, by default the script looks for 
an installed version of hunspell instead of using the version that’s 
included in the distribution and, for some reason, it wasn’t able to 
find my installed version of hunspell. But configuring with the above 
flag did the trick. My document is now nicely littered with wavy red

Hi,

To compile with support for the installed hunspell, you need to install 
the libhunspell-dev package.

It should not be difficult to convert the main bulk of the text. You can 
export LaTeX from LibreOffice or use Pandoc to convert Word to LaTeX, 
then import the LaTeX document into LyX.


I will add that this is true if your Word document uses styles for 
things like sections. Also, I am not sure what is going to happen if you 
have math equations.

You could also consider a paid solution:

I have no idea what it supports. You might want to contact the author.

export LaTeX from LibreOffice or use Pandoc to convert Word to LaTeX, 
then import the LaTeX document into LyX.


Graphics will be a somewhat different matter. They'll need to be in a 
format LaTeX can handle, and I'm not sure how well the automated 
conversion will handle that.


Citations will also need attention. I would guess that Bookends can 
export the BibTeX format, but the ciations themselves may or may not 
translate smoothly and need manual correction. It may help to open the 
LyX file in a simple text editor and use search and replace to fix 
citation keys.


Whether there's a good thesis template depends upon your specific needs.

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

If the gnuplot files that you use are your own, or from one that you trust,

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

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

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

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

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

Question 1:

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

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

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

Questions 2:

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

Question 3:

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

OK -- this is the status on my on-going experimentation on Windows 11... (I 
hope I'm almost there):



1. I experiment with KOMA script Book

2. I have:

* Upgraded all packages in MikTeX

* Installed Pygments ("pip install Pygments" in Windows Prompt)

* Figured out where the "pygmetize" script is located on my computer,

  and added location to PATH.

* In the LyX document, Documents/Settings/Fonts, checked "use non-TeX fonts

* In the Documents/Settings/Listings, changed "Syntax Highlighting Package" 
to "minted"

  [This didn't work until I set the PATH to "pygmetize"]

* In Tools/Preferences/File Handling/Converters, added "-shell-escape" at 
the end

  of the Converter line:

[cid:image001.png@01DA90D8.479231F0]

  [This line is slightly different from the Embedded document,

3. STATUS:

QUESTION 1: What is wrong? I *did* envoke the “-shell-escape” flag, didn’t I?



QUESTION 2: By default, Ctrl+R is keyboard shortcut for generating PDF via 
pdflatex. After I chose “use non-TeX fonts”, Ctrl+R implies generating PDF via 
XeTeX. How can I change the set-up so that Ctrl+R implies using luatex?

In xcolor, Gray (with first letter in uppercase) is a color model, not a color. 
This can be changed by the option “svgnames” or by the option “dvipsnames”. 
Since here xolor is called by tikz, it is best to give this as an option to the 
documentclass. This worked for me, with pdflatex.

didn't work either.
I can't find the xindex processor you mentioned in my selection list. 
Instead I find xindy. Did you perhaps mean that? It doesn't work with

Even if, as you suggested, I use makeindex as the processor and enter 
the option "-s german.ist" (Jürgen commented that he cannot find 
german.ist on his computer), the index is not displayed.


I have sometimes had trouble with the index not displaying the first 
time I export a file. If I change something trivial (add a space at the 
end of a paragraph, say) and re-export, then it appears.


One way to try to debug this would be to export the file to LaTeX and 
run everything manually. Or just launch LyX from a terminal, and watch 
the output when you export. Either should give you more information.

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

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

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

*If* one sets "abstract=on" to enforce "Abstract" to be printed in the PDF 
file, it would perhaps be natural if this text also shows up in LyX.

Anyways, this is not a major problem -- I can always switch to the standard 
article style.

Thanks a lot for your great job with creating v. 2.4. I really appreciate all 
the work you have put into it, and look forward to start reading the manuals.

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

     LabelType No_Label

Well, it indicates what people can expect in the output (at least by
default)

That's not possible.

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

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

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

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

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

No, it has been the case for KOMA since a long time (always?)

> Is this a bug?

No. See KOMA script manual, sec. 3.8 and the abstract={on,off} KOMA
script option.

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

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

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

no problem here ... Used File->new, then Document->Settings abd abstract=on.
I have nothing in the added into the preamble.
