I can refer-and-insert table numbers/equation numbers
using labels and cross-references throughout the text.
Now, it would be extremely valuable if I could also
refer-and-insert a full sentence.
Is this possible in Lyx, and how?
Hi Stewart,
To insert Tex Code, either:
(1) go to Insert TeX Code
or
(2) type control L
This will give you a red box into which you can type latex commands directly.
Type in something like:
\newcommand{\mysentence}{This is a sentence that I want to use in many places.}
Note that this red box must be before you try to use this command, so put it in
the preamble or near the top of your document.
Then, wherever you want to use that sentence, insert tex code again and put
into the red box:
\mysentence
You should be able to do this in tables and mostly anywhere.
Is this what you were looking for?

RE: Chinese Characters in Lyx 2.02
From: Nicholas Martin [nm...@mit.edu]
Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2012 3:23 AM
OK, I've now figured out how to write Chinese in Lyx 2.02. Apologies for all
who have no interest in this whatsoever, but since a brief perusal of the
forum shows that many have struggled with the same problem, and that much of
the advice given in the forum is now outdated (due to the improvements since
Lyx 1.4, 1.5 etc.), I thought it might be helpful to share the instructions:
1. Write the following code into the Latex Preamble (Document -- Settings --
Latex Preamble ):
\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\usepackage[overlap, CJK]{ruby}
\newenvironment{SChinese}{%
\CJKfamily{gbsn}%
\CJKtilde
\CJKnospace}{}
\newcommand{\cntxt}[1]{\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{}\begin{SChinese}#1\end{SChinese}\end{CJK}}
2. Then, when you want to write Chinese in the text, do the following:
Open a Tex Box (in menu, 6th button from right). Into the Tex box then write
the following command [replacing the characters below with whatever Chinese
you want to write].
\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{}\begin{SChinese}整治\end{SChinese}\end{CJK}
Great, thank you for posting the solution Nicholas!

Would this accomplish what you want? -i ID, --export-id=ID For PNG, PS, EPS, and PDF export, the id attribute value of the object that you want to export from the document; all other objects are not exported. By default the exported area is the bounding box of the object; you can override this using --export-area (PNG only) or --export-area-page.

RE: Embedding arrows stuff
From: Paul A. Rubin [ru...@msu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2012 8:10 PM This is a major PITA. Horizontal scrollbars have been suggested, and I suspect there's a (long) open ticket for it. Yes, here: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/1083 My preferred workaround used to be to select the entire equation and use ctrl-M to convert it back to plain text, dink around with that, then ctrl-M again to make it a formula once more. That no longer works (I'm not sure which version did away with it). I didn't know that this is how it used to work. I wonder why it was changed. For something similar, see workaround 1 below. Here are 3 workarounds to long inline math equations that you might find useful. workaround 1: Convert the math to LaTeX, edit the LaTeX, then convert back to math. Two ways to do this: (a) You could bind the following command-sequence to a shortcut. Then put your cursor in front of your long equation and run the shortcut. command-sequence char-forward; line-end-select ; cut; char-backward; paste; char-delete-forward (b) Or if you want to do it manually, go just inside the equation and do ctrl+shift+right arrow or ctrl+end. Both of those work for me. And then go outside of math and paste. It should now show up as LaTeX. To convert from LaTeX back to math, highlight the LaTeX code and do ctrl+m. workaround 2: Bind the following command to a shortcut. This will split an inline math inset into two separate inline math insets. command-sequence line-end-select; cut; char-forward; math-mode; paste; char-forward; word-backward You might need to do that more than once (at different positions, of course) depending on how long your equation is. To then paste them back together into one math inset highlight them all and press ctrl+m. workaround 3: zoom out (ctrl + scroll wheel). I wonder if we should create a wiki page for workarounds to this issue as it seems to come up often and a fix seems to be too difficult. If anyone is up to it, please go ahead, and then link to it from here http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Math Scott

Your Sweave code should work unchanged with knitr. The transition is very easy, but I understand your hesitation. Scott
knitr problem with packageVersion R function
LyX gives me an error when I have the R command `packageVersion` in a knitr
chunk. Attached is a mwe .lyx that gives an error for me. I get this error on
current trunk and on 2.0.3 when exporting or viewing as pdf (pdflatex).
Exporting to latex (pdflatex) and then running pdflatex manually produces the
pdf as expected but exits with error code 1 (even though no indication of a
problem is given in the terminal which I find to be strange).
I'm pasted the relevant part of the error from the log below and attached are
the .lyx file, the .tex file that is produced when exported to latex (pdflatex)
and the .log file.
LaTeX Font Info:Font shape `T1/cmtt/bx/n' in size 10 not available

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

I cannot reproduce the problem. It compiles successfully with TeXLive

I am using Ubuntu (64-bit) 12.04 with TeXLive 2011 and pdflatex version:
scott@wws-1j1dnk1:~$ pdflatex --version
pdfTeX 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (TeX Live 2011)
kpathsea version 6.0.1
Does this happen to packageVersion() only?
Also with packageDescription(). But I've compiled many knitr documents that
have used many packages and functions and this is the first time that I have
this problem. If I wrap packageVersion as follows then it works fine:
as.character(packageVersion('knitr'))
Can you send me the .tex file that is produced when you export the .lyx file I
sent to latex (pdflatex)? If they are the same and it works for you then the
problem must be my pdflatex. If they are different then the problem is
something else.

RE: knitr problem with packageVersion R function
From: Yihui Xie [xieyi...@gmail.com]
Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2012 8:39 PM
I believe this is because R uses sQuote() to print package versions
which introduces curly quotes (non-ASCII characters).
Unfortunately sQuote() was hard-coded in the printing function, so
there is no direct way to get rid of the two curly quotes, and you
have to use as.character(), or packageDescription('knitr',
fields='Version')
Ah, that makes sense. Well thanks for investigating this for me. I feel more
comfortable at least knowing what's going on.

You could search (using windows search) for files in your tex distribution (for example, search for .bib files) and put your BibTeX files there and hopefully that would be in the path. Or see below. When I click rescan nothing happens. Clicking browse takes me to what looks like Windows Explorer, but it won't let me do anything with my BibTeX folder. So I'm still stuck. This should work. What do you mean that it won't let you do anything with your BibTeX folder? You need to add the individual .bib files. Also, they must have the .bib extension otherwise they will not be found in that window. If they do not have the extension, you can just rename the files to add the extension to them. Does that work? Also, what version of LyX are you using? Scott
RE: Graphics Tools
From: Steve Litt [sl...@troubleshooters.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 1:23 PM I'd **LOVE** for LyX to use SVG images as vector graphics. SVG images are standard, and very small byteswize, and they're the native format of Inkscape. If anyone knows a way to get LyX to use SVG images as vector graphics, please let me know. Doesn't LyX already do this? If you go to Preferences File Formats, you will see your converters. I have SVG - EPS, SVG - PDF, and SVG - PNG. EPS and PDF are both vector formats. Perhaps if you don't have inkscape installed (which is what is doing the conversions for me and which is searched for by LyX's configure), then your convertor can only convert to a raster format.

See below for some thoughts: From: Amir M. Toosi [am_to...@yahoo.com] Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2012 11:44 PM Dearb Scott Thank you very much for your help. It works but there is some problem: 1. It needs to download extra files whenever I want to use templates or help The extra files that need to be downloaded and installed are packages. Many of the templates and help files require these packages to be installed. This is not so much a LyX issue as it is a MiKTeK issue I believe. MiKTeX is what handles your packages, not LyX. After installing a new package, don't forget to do Tools Reconfigure so that LyX is aware of the changes. If there is a problem here, please explain it in detail. 2. I can not sent any file from Jabref to Lyx, because there is not any lyxpipe You need to have your lyxpipe path the same in Jabref as in LyX. If you have further problems, please be more specific. Which version of Jabref are you using? What path did you enter into Jabref? What path did you enter into LyX? Include any other additional information that you think is relevant. Scott

RE: One issue, one bug: version 2.0.4 on Slackware
From: Rich Shepard [rshep...@appl-ecosys.com]
Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 5:51 PM
The issue is a minor one, but has not appeared (literally) before now. I
find no space between a table caption and the table beneath it. This lack of
space is seen both in the LyX window and the pdflatex-compiled document. My
remedy is to add \vspace{10pt} on a line between the caption and the table
body. This works for me.
What version did you not see this in before? I don't know if this is a bug or
not.
When you look at the LaTeX code is there something that is obviously wrong?
The bug shows up when I check spelling and causes the application to
segfault and crash. If someone provides me with a pointer how to save the
source of the problem I'll be happy to pass it on to the developers. I don't
suppose it can be seen in the .emergency file that I reload when this
occurs.
If you would like to compile by source, then you could send a backtrace. The
first
step, actually, would be to see if the problem was already fixed by compiling
the
development version(s) and seeing if you can reproduce the bug. Or, you can send
a minimal .lyx file with exact instructions on how to reproduce the crash.

The problems might already be fixed in the development versions so it would be good to check those first. Difficult to send a minimal file with exact instructions when the problem occurs only when I'm checking spelling. Not all the time, either, but that's the only time LyX crashes. Ah, I thought there would be some formula like 1. open this .lyx file. 2. check spelling. 3. accept the first 5 suggestions and then LyX will crash. I guess not. Scott

Can someone give me a hint on how to get a debug log of a failed Rscript call

Look in the terminal output. It might give you the error.
You could alternatively do File Export R/S code and then run/debug
the resulting file in R.
Also note that since version 0.7 :
- when `opts_knit$get('verbose')` is TRUE, logs (messages, warnings and
errors) along with the corresponding R code will be printed after `knit()`
is done; this might help users figure out possible problems in R code
quickly (#276)

Re: Knitr (Rnw) Rscript error log
Does the knitr example file work? I forget how to get to example files on MacOS.
Mabye Yihui will have an idea of what's going on, but in the meantime
if you want to try something, you can try with the newest version of
LyX's knitr module that Yihui sent in a couple of days ago. To do
this, you can either
(1) apply the attached diff. It should succeed on 2.0.4 with a hunk offset.
or
(2) copy the other two files attached, to the correct places.
Don't forget to back up the original files.

I appreciate the offer. After some quality time looking into how the module works and how SageTeX processes documents, I was able to get it up and running. I found this page to be extremely helpful: http://www.sagemath.org/doc/tutorial/sagetex.html Great! Good job figuring it out. Of course, like all things, I was hoping to get a quick response via the list. I decided last year that I wanted to go back to school to improve my mechanical engineering skills and was hoping to get Sage working for a lab report. (Why I decided more education would be desirable is completely beyond me. I've forgotten how thoroughly miserable it is to be a student. While I frequently have to work late, it's been years since I've had to pull an all-night session to finish homework. It's every bit as bad as I remember. It might even be worse, if you factor in age.) I bet that it's really difficult to do what you're doing. Hopefully there are some fun things about being a student again that will surprise you. How about coming home after turning your homework in and crashing on your bed -- that must have felt nice at least :). Best of luck with your challenge! How did you install SAGE? In the past I've compiled from source which was very smooth but took a while. There is also a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~aims/+archive/sagemath To get Sage installed, I used the PPA. I thought about compiling from source so that I could integrate it with the system Python, and then thought better of it. The installation from the PPA was quick and I haven't had any issues, so far. Glad to hear. To install the SageTeX module (which has to be done separately from installing Sage), I copied the sagetex folder into my LaTeX path and ran texhash. Thanks, this is useful for me. I didn't know they were separate. Which version do you have installed? I'm running version 5.1. Does the terminal output or View Messages toolbar give any useful output that you could share? The output was helpful, but didn't make much sense until I read more about how SageTeX works. Sage processes files in two steps. You write your document, then you run LaTeX (pdflatex, xelatex, lualatex, or regular latex) on it. This creates a second file, with the Sage processing instructions in it. This has a *.sagetex.sage file extension. At this point, you have to run Sage on this secondary file, which generates your equations, plots and other elements so that they can be incorporated into your original LaTeX file. At that point, you run LaTeX on the original file a second time to produce the typeset document. The problem I was having is that I was only running LaTeX on my new documents. The converters I set up didn't follow the appropriate pathway of LaTeX - Sage - LaTeX. Once I added in the Sage processing step, everything started to work. Thanks for the explanation. It would be nice if the module took care of all of this. Do you have a minimum working example that you could send or link to? Absolutely, attached is a simple example that I'm working up into a template. I'm just getting started with Sage, but now that it's working, I'm quite impressed with what I've seen. For the past 10 years or so, I've been using aging copies of Maple for symbolic computation, and this looks like it will allow me to modernize. (I don't actually have to do much symbolic math, so it hasn't been that big of a deal.) Being able to work from within LyX, in a manner very similar to the way I work with R code via Knitr/Sweave, is going to be very nice. Knowing that it's all open is even better. I'm also a big fan of R + Knitr (+ LyX) and I agree with you. I think having things integrated is closer to how our minds work and allows for a more natural workflow. PS, when I get time, I'm going to try and update the instructions on the Wiki to make a couple of things clearer. I'll also probably write a blog post about it, just so I've got a record of how I got things working. If you'd like, I'll send you a link when it's finished. Yes, I'm definitely interested. This would be great. Thanks a lot Rob! Scott

Rainer, I don't know if such a list in the docs, but you can find out the most common shortcut easily (that's what I did) by looking at the options that lyx shows in the minibuffer after you hit Alt-p. You'll see something like: Options: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 * [etc.] That gives you a hint: hitting Alt-P n formats the paragraph to level n (part, chapter, section, etc) hitting Alt-P * n formats the paragraph to the starred level n hitting Alt-P T gives title, Alt-P A abstract and Alt-P shift-A the author, E is enumerate and I is itemize, and so forth. A little trial and error goes a long way. This is the top-down approach Alternatively, you can work bottom-up: Every time you select a layout, the minibuffer will show the corresponding short cut (if one exists).

Another source of trouble is if you run lyx and lyx2.0 at the same time. The above discussion only applies if you plan on running the previous LyX version again. For example, if you only want to run lyx2.0 and no longer want to run lyx, linking should work fine, but in that case you could also just remove .lyx2.0 and rename .lyx to .lyx2.0.

Sorts may be alphabetical or numerical, ascending or descending. The default horizontal vertical rules delineating table cells are not disturbed by the sort. ERT in table cells has no effect. Yellow (or other) notes by default also do not affect the sort, but this can be changed with the -y option when invoking the script, allowing fine-tuning of sort order. Finally, multiple tables in the same document can be sorted at one go. Andrew Thank you for this, Andrew. This work is very creative. I'm especially impressed by your excellent documentation.

So, *please* keep the APA6 layout and corresponding bibtex referencing up-to-date! Hi Mateo, John, Ray, Jacob (and everyone else), It seems APA6 is useful to a lot of people and in particular to you guys. How about we make a layout for it together then? I know absolutely nothing about APA6 (or psychology for that matter), little about layouts, and very little about document classes. But I am confident that we can do it. Look in your library directory (go to Help About if you don't know where it is) and then go to layouts/apa.layout. Open it up. It shouldn't look too scary to you. It looks more like English to me than programming (thank you to the LyX developers who have made it look so nice and flexible). So this is an opportunity where even if you don't know/like programming, you can help out. But wait, that's not all. If we learn the LyX layout format, in addition to us making an apa6 layout (and thus helping ourselves and potentially a lot of others), we'll learn how to customize LyX layouts to our liking. This can be very useful and can make using LyX a lot more fun and personalized. The developers around here are extremely nice and generous and would help us out when we get stuck. But they are involved in a million things and it's not clear at all to me that they should stop doing those things in order to make this layout, especially when I'm sure we're capable of doing it.

Hi,
I found the problem in the layout files:
The actual problem lies in numreport.inc which adds a chapter counter to the

numreport.inc is included in svcommon.inc (after all std*.inc includes) which
in its turn is included by svglobal.layout/svglobal3.layout etc.
Of course chapter counters in papers dont make much sense, a quick workaround
is to redefine algorithm by putting the following in the local layout:
Format 35
Float
Type algorithm
GuiName Algorithm
Placement tbp
Extension loa
NumberWithin none
Style ruled
ListName List of Algorithms
IsPredefined false
UsesFloatPkg true
RefPrefix alg

Which is copy-pasted from stdfloats.inc, here NumberWithin is defined as none
instead of chapter which I hope is the standard behaviour. At least I can
generate pdf's with algorithm floats again.

Hi,
I'm experiencing exactly the same problem (see mail below) since I upgraded
from lyx 2.0.1 to lyx 2.0.4. You can easily reproduce:
- File-new from template
- choose springer/svjour3.lyx
- remove the figure floats (the pictures were not found in my installation,
opensuse)
- add one algorithm float (it's the float that generates the error, not the
algorithm itself).
- generate pdf
I obviously could downgrade again, but I have read somewhere that lyx 2.0.4
includes better sprinter (svjour3/svglobal) layouts. Any idea on how I can fix
this quickly ?
If there is no simple fix, I'll just downgrade for the moment as I really need
it.

But unfortunately there are only one or two Mac developers around here, and I'm not even sure they have the hardware to test the retina display. This asymmetry between many users and only a couple of developers makes me wonder if this situation is good for a sponsorship. If everyone donated a little, maybe it would make it more worthwhile to the developer (or at least show the developer that some people care and are happy to help contribute). I have no idea how much work would be required for this or if any developer would want to spend their free time working on it. See http://www.lyx.org/Donate for past sponsors. Best, Scott
Re: How to find a package: was Vancouver style

I know of the existence of ctan.org just like everyone else, but there's something in my mental makeup that's different from yours, and I want to adopt your beliefs and your mindset in order to produce your results. I know to most of you this sounds trivial and self-explanatory, but to me it's anything but, so please tell me your beliefs, mindset and techniques as you search for a package to solve a specific problem. Thanks so much, SteveT Hi Steve, I don't think most people think that it's trivial or self-explanatory. You might think this because sometimes someone asks a question how do I... ? and the answer looks to be a simple use package ... but behind that simple answer the person might have spent a lot of time searching and experimenting. All this to say that I think it's a great question. It would be great if you started a wiki page on wiki.lyx.org and summarized everyone's answers. This way everyone can build on it in the future. Thanks, Scott
