Track Changes/Color in Output
Hi,
I wish to change the tracking colours. On screen I have changed the
first author change to brown which works very well but in the output
it remains in blue, which I don't like as I am using blue for the
hyperref links.
If I look at the LaTeC source its something like this here:
\providecolor{lyxadded}{rgb}{0,0,1}
\providecolor{lyxdeleted}{rgb}{1,0,0}
Where can I override this?

Dear all,
I’ve been using Latex and LyX for about a year now. I like LyX’s GUI which
insulates me from having to type in all the commands. But, I have a
question.
My Latex distribution has many fonts installed on it. My favorite is Linux
Libertine, which is complete with OSF and true small caps, etc.
This is a system font, not a LaTeX one.
Actually, there is also a version of Libertine for use with traditional
LaTeX (via the libertine package).
But, Libertine is not listed in LyX’s drop down list of fonts even though it
is part of my latex distribution. The drop down list only seems to list the
“standard” Latex fonts.
Even not all fonts of the LaTeX core...
Is there any way to get LyX to recognize all of the fonts that are
included in my Latex distribution.
No. Better support for more of the font packages is a long standing feature
request. You might want to vote for the relevant ticket at bugs.lyx.org.
For the time beeing:
* set (or leave) the font(s) as [Default]
* read the font-package's documentation
* insert the command(s) and options recommended there in the LaTeX preamble.
As screen-font and print-font are de-coupled anyway, there is no
disadvantage of this approach once the correct command (usually a
\usepackage{the-font-package}) is in place.
Alternatively,
In LyX 2.0, you can use 'non-TeX fonts' and choose Linux Libertine
Biolinum if these are installed on your system. Then you will compile
your documents with XeTeX.

Dear List
Is it possible to write (with Lyx) a circular letter with an
arbitrary letter pattern?
I have written perl programs which allow mail merge in insurance
companies for things such as renewal notices, price quotation, etc.
The main idea is that the user creates a normal LyX letter template
(using the article class - we found the letter classes were not suited
to NZ conventions). Where details particular to a client were to be
inserted, you put perl expressions e.g. ${title} ${firstname}
${lastname} etc.
A database program runs an SQL query and, for each row returned, builds
list of perl assignments
e.g.
${firstname}=John;
${lastname}=Smith;
...
and writes these to a file with a .rec suffix
Then the lyxmerge program loops through the .rec file, effectively
assigning the database values for each client then reads the template
and writes to an output file. Works beautifully giving the usual superb
typesetting.
Perl is most suitable for this because of its weird notion of using
distinctive syntax for variables. More pleasant languages like Python
do not.
When I wrote this many years ago, I also took the trouble to create
scripts to insert tables of data into the template. This involved using
some supplied perl library scripts which came with LyX.
The LyX developers now use python for this sort of thing and I haven't
kept my scripts up to date with current LyX versions.
If you want more detail, I'll happily pass on the scripts to those who
want them.

This is going back to April. I know there are many fine bibliography managers, and any mention of the subject always has people bringing out their favourites. (The same thing happens with drawing programs.) The impulse that led me to explore editing maintaining bibliographies in LyX was that it gave me a vast improvement over doing the same in a text editor (which is what I had done) and it meant that I didn't need to learn a new program -- and I was fascinated by how far one could push LyX in this direction. I'm retired now. I have only the most occasional need for a bibliography manager. And when I do, I prefer to use a program I know thoroughly (LyX), even if for this purpose it lacks the bells whistles of dedicated programs.

2.6.1beta0 and Beamer
Jürgen, are there known issues transferring presentations from 2.06 to 2.6.1beta0? If so, which are they? Because I a seem to have some and if they are known I don't need to trace them down to a minimal example and can just work on them with 2.0.6 for the time being. el
Libertine support LyX version 2.1.0 (beta 1)
The latest version of libertine in MacTeX 2013 (updated with tlmgr)

Re: off topic: Is there a lyx user in Lund, Sweden?
Wolfgang,
Anders is right, it's that simple and does not need assistance :-)-O
What he forgot is that you must run Tools - Reconfigure after
installation and then Quit and start LyX again.
If the individual is computer literate, and is concerned about disk
space, I would install the Basic package from the same web site however,
and then on occasion install missing packages with the tlmgr
(there is a Tex Live Utility).
I did that on my airbook and it works so well, that I do same on both
the iMac at home and at the practice. Synchronization needs a little
thought but is easy with something like
tlmgr info|grep ^i|awk '{print \$2}'|sed s/://g
giving all installed files which one feeds into the tlmgr on the other host.
And after each installation of a package that LyX needs to know about,
such as fonts. Linux Libertine does not come by default in the Basic for
example but installs with the tlmgr. LyX then needs a Reconfigure to
become aware of it.
If you start from scratch writing LyX documents it's less of a hassle
because you are aware of what specific LateX packages you include and
thus must install and make available. Using an existing document
sometimes gives a cryptic error, but the log files then show the missing
package.
And of course there is this newsgroup where one can ask :-)-O

Why is it, that if it's a Windows program, if a supporting program is needed to make the program run, in this case, the supporting program is also included in the program's installation package. But, when the program goes into OS X, the supporting program isn't included in the installation package. If the Mac LyX package for OS X had included the supporting program, I would never have had a problem.LOL What support do you have in mind? The installation of a usable TeX system? Exactly. When you install the Windows bundle, it includes MikTeX and JabRef(?), not sure if that's exactly right. Isn't JabRef a bibliography thing? (This is new to me.) So a new user like me doesn't have to worry about making sure that when LyX is installed on Windows for the first time, it's a fully functional system. But on the Mac, that doesn't happen. The Mac LyX package does not include a TeX system, and I'm guessing no bibliography option. So if a new user got a copy of LyX from some free software place, it's not going to work right out of the box, and the user isn't going to be happy. I don't know what the user gets if it's for Linux. I just now looked a bit more at the LyX site, and it's intimidating to a new user, lots of things there that may as well be written in a foreign language if you are completely new to typography and the LyX world. Even more so if you are relatively new to computers. (Something every site for every platform has become. They totally ignore the newbie concept, and I'd bet turn off a lot of potential new users/converts.)

An hour or a day to make a style is no problem if you allocate it over the two months it took you to bang out 100K words, but it's a tragedy if you allocate it over the two days a 10K document took to write. NOTE: I stop here to give a chance to those who will come in to tell me that styles in LyX/LaTeX would be easy if only I were good at them, or to claim that various packages solve all problems, or to claim that LyX/LaTeX doc classes are so wonderful you can simply use their existing styles. It's very possible, and I think advisable, to use LyX for some things and LibreOffice for others.

Re: Interesting for LyX: ShareLaTeX and github
Importing from LaTeX very often requires manual work.
Yesterday, I had to figure out how to change the \MyLogo from
beamerfoils in the middle of the document, and using
\Mylogo{\includegraphics{whatever.jpg}} did not work.
So exported to LaTeX. Re-import was a mess :-)-O, which is the point here.
So I still think collaborative editing can either be done in LyX or in
LaTeX but not both at the same time. Though, normalizing this, ie only
having one system to maintain might be helpful.
And, if you have LyX you have enough disk space for a minimal LaTeX
installation, even in Africa :-)-O

Dear all,
I’ve been using Latex and LyX for about a year now. I like LyX’s GUI which

question.
My Latex distribution has many fonts installed on it. My favorite is Linux
Libertine, which is complete with OSF and true small caps, etc.
This is a system font, not a LaTeX one.
Actually, there is also a version of Libertine for use with traditional
LaTeX (via the libertine package).
But, Libertine is not listed in LyX’s drop down list of fonts even though it
is part of my latex distribution. The drop down list only seems to list the
“standard” Latex fonts.
Even not all fonts of the LaTeX core...
Is there any way to get LyX to recognize all of the fonts that are
included in my Latex distribution.
No. Better support for more of the font packages is a long standing feature
request. You might want to vote for the relevant ticket at bugs.lyx.org.
For the time beeing:
* set (or leave) the font(s) as [Default]
* read the font-package's documentation
* insert the command(s) and options recommended there in the LaTeX preamble.
As screen-font and print-font are de-coupled anyway, there is no
disadvantage of this approach once the correct command (usually a
\usepackage{the-font-package}) is in place.
Alternatively,
In LyX 2.0, you can use 'non-TeX fonts' and choose Linux Libertine
Biolinum if these are installed on your system. Then you will compile
your documents with XeTeX.
