Placing a citation in an endnote.
I was reading a post in a Rmarkdown forum where the writer said that he had
been using footnotes with a citation embedded to produce a pdf.. His
editor has requested a change from footnotes to endnotes and he cannot get
it to word.
Rmardown uses pandoc to convert from Rmarkdown to pdf. I thought that this
should fairly easy to do in LyX or LaTeX but it does not seem so.
If I add
\usepackage{endnotes}
\let\footnote=\endnote
to the LaTeX preamble I lose the footnote and citation but still get the
endnote indicator.
I have attached a MWE and sample bib file.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.

spread of misinformation. The World Health Organization ({WHO}) famously called
the crisis not just a pandemic, but also an “infodemic.” Why and how
misinformation spreads and has an impact on behaviours and beliefs is a complex
and multidimensional phenomenon. There is an emerging rich academic literature
on misinformation, particularly in the context of social media. In this
chapter, I focus on two questions: Is debunking an effective strategy? If so,
what kind of counter-messaging is most effective? While the data remain complex
and, at times, contradictory, there is little doubt that efforts to correct
misinformation are worthwhile. In fact, fighting the spread of misinformation
should be viewed as an important health and science policy priority.},

Chinese academics exposed for research misconduct has increased dramatically in
recent years. Chinese authors do not have to generate fake data or fake peer
reviews for themselves because paper mills in China will do the work for them
for a price. Major retractions of articles by authors from China were all
announced by international publishers. In contrast, there are few reports of
retractions announced by China's domestic publishers. China's publication
requirements for physicians seeking promotions and its leniency toward research
misconduct are two major factors promoting the boom of paper mills in China.},

Tufte Handout - move references to end.
I was using Tufte Handout for a small exercise and because of the subject and citation style, apacite, I would prefer the references only at the end of the document. I know I should be able to put the bibliography at the bottom of the document but is there a way to suppress them in sidebars?

Re: Problems with bibliography generation
I think the first thing you need to try is adding the Natbibapa
module. It is not there in the MWE that you sent.
Re the Biblio.bib file. I am no expert but I have never seen so many \
in a bib file. For example at the end of an entry I see
\}\
\
where I would expect }.
Have a look at the attached bibtest.bib file vs your Biblio.bib to see
what I mean. I got the bibtest.bib file to work with your .lyx file
after installing the Natbibapa module. See the attached
Bib.example.lyx and check settings as I may have made another change
and not documented it.

Re: Where to place a modified stdtoolbars.inc file?
*The file should go into ~/.lyx/ui/, or (more generally) the ui/* * subdirectory of whatever your LyX user directory is. * I have not the slightest idea why but I dropped the *stdtoolbars.inc* file back into the ~/.lyx/ui directory this morning and it worked!

Where to place a modified stdtoolbars.inc file?
I have done a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 and am restoring some software customizations. I have a modified stdtoolbars.inc file for LyX that I wish to use. Relying on the LyX wiki and a shaky memory of the last time I did this I thought that I could just create a ui sub-directory in my ~/.zotero directory and drop the stdtoolbars.inc file into it. Am I wrong or am I missing out some critical step in the process? Note the stdtoolbars.inc file should work as it is simply a back-up copy of the one I was using before the new OS installation. Running LyX 2.3.2 under Ubuntu 18.04 Thanks. -- John Kane Kingston ON Canada

Loss of spell-check in some languages
I have run into a spell-check problem. I have, relatively recently, done a complete reinstall of Ubuntu 16.04 and I seem to have lost the ability to spell-check in French and Russian with my "new" LyX 2.3.0 installation. My normal working dictionary is "English-Canadian". I have tried using both Enchant and Hunpell dictionaries. Both work with English and ignore entries in French and Russian. I seem to have working dictionaries installed as spell-check in all three I am assuming I have missed something simple, perhaps I need to set a path, but some googling has not helped. -- John Kane Kingston ON Canada

Re: Copying from bulleted items -- includes the bullet?
"The few times I use Word, I almost invariably use paste without formatting (not that it works always, though…)". Can go either way, but I think the big difference is Lyx always uses environments so a fomat change is blindingly easy so why not assume that the writer wants to keep the existing format? I occasionally help someone convert a document from Word to Apache OpenOffice and the amount of truly weird crap one can find when one tries to clean up the document is mind boggling. Word users often think a Style is a reference to a GQ or Vogue story. On 25 April 2018 at 10:17, Bernt Lie <bernt@usn.no> wrote: > Thanks for answer. > > > >- Presumably a feature.

Re: Copying from bulleted items -- includes the bullet?
Presumably a feature. If one does a copy and paste, one usually wants the format to remain the same. If you want to change formats, aste and then apply the new format seems the way to go.

Re: lambda
Beats me. I did a copy and paste of your code and it seems fine. Rather
elegant in fact.
I did the same in a text editor and $\lambda_{max}=528nm$ seems fine.
Ubuntu 16.04; LyX 2.3.0.
While we are not using Windows, I'd try the traditional Reboot (just
because it's MS) and see if it helps.

Re: Display of supported Bibliography styles in LyX?
I "think" I have seen this format in some (sociological?) journals but I have no idea what LyX/LaTeX format would work. What journal or style guide are you aiming at? That might help us narrow things down. It is not clear to me what you mean by "reference style (Harvard)". You might want to have a look at the various formats that the bibliographic management system Zotero https://www.zotero.org/ supplies https://www.zotero.org/styles and see if there is a reference to the LaTeX equivalent. Fair warning though, Zotero supports over 9,000 journal formats and a quick wade through the sociological styles suggests my memory is the equivalent of Swiss Cheese.

Re: LyX--Knitr warnings.
Thanks Scott, Nice to know I have the option of getting rid of it. I, probably will leave it on once I get over the annoyance of it flashing up on every new file. Have you ever downloaded and compiled a .lyx file from the internet from a place you are not sure you could trust? I suppose I have but so rarely that I cannot recall don't recall doing so in the last three or four years, at least. Unless downloading from here counts :) On 30 March 2018 at 18:02, Scott Kostyshak <skost...@lyx.org> wrote: > On Fri, Mar 30, 2018 at 09:00:34PM +0000, John Kane wrote: > > Ah, not a bug, a feature.

Re: LyX--Knitr warnings.
I forgot to try it! Yes it is working. I just wonder why the blasted warning is appearing in the first place. It seems unlikely that I have a virus but possible. I did a major update on my R packages and upgraded from knitr 1.18 to knutr 1.20 today so if it is a virus it is migrating. Now if I can remember how to update ClamAV signatures, I'll run a scan.

LyX--Knitr warnings.
I have the Rnw(knitr) module permanently loaded in my default template. Ever time I compile I get a warning message (see attached screenshot). The document compiles with no problem but this is getting on my nerves. If I remove the module, the warning does not appear. This seems to have appeared after an upgrade to LyX 2.3.0 on 2018-02-24. Can anyone hazard a guess what is going on? This does not look like a bug, much more likely a problem in my configuration but I don't have a clue on how to diagnose the problem. MWE attached.

Re: Missing Rnw(knitr) module
Hello Murat!
Your idea seems to have worked. The *sudo update R *seems to have worked
but apparently, despite RStudio and RKwark seeming to find knitr I did a
install.packages("knitr") at root level and R installed it.
LyX seems to be finding knitr now. I just ran a couple of simple-minded
plots with no problem.
I have never had to do anything like this before upgrading. I still think I
have a slightly wonky Ubuntu installation but I can live with it for a
little while. I am still seriously considering reverting to 16.04 though.
Thank you very,very much.

Re: Grammar checking
Hi Steve, I have never found a grammar checker that it useful for one's native language, in my case English. On the other hand, my French is rather primitive and a good grammar makes me intelligible if not exactly eloquent. I did try the MS one years ago and it was maddening. It seemed to want one to write at a grade 8 level and complained incessantly when I used a passive sentence.

Re: Missing Rnw(knitr) module
Yes. I really have no idea of where some of those ppa's have come from and I may just go in and wipe out anything that's in the file and hope for the best. I can always replace those that I really need.(I hope.) Someone else may have another idea that may help also.

Re: Missing Rnw(knitr) module
Thanks Jean-Marc. I have reconfigured two or three times. . I have not thought of sweave in years. A plain file, that is no R code, compiles with sweave loaded. A small knitr file gives an error but that is to be expected. I'll have to cobble together a sweave example and see what happens. It should run okay. I stole a bit of sweave code from Friedrich Leisch's article in R News https://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2002-3.pdf and it compiles although not perfectly which is not surprising. It was just a quick and dirty test. But, blast it, I want knitr back. I have a good number of files with knitr code and I would hate to have to modify them. But, at least, we now know that LyX is talking to R which is reassuring.

Missing Rnw(knitr) module
I recently upgraded to LyX 2.2.3 as I am not doing any production work at the moment and it seemed a good time to explore some of the new features.I have a problem with the Rnw(knitr) module in LyX. LyX is insisting that the knitr package does not exist and the compile aborts.R says knitr is installed and can be loaded. A closer inspection of the “Available” modules list shows that Rnw(knitr) is not listed. If I remove the Rnw(knitr) module from the selected list the file compiles normally.My default template loads the Rnw(knitr) module automatically and if I click on the knitr module name in the “Selected” window I get the standard explanation of what it is in the window below.Any suggestions? Thanks
Cannot compile with math expressions in a file
I did quite a bit of updating a couple of weeks ago ubuntu 16.04 to 17.04, updated R to R version 3.4.1, and IIRC updated LyX to 2.2.2.I now cannot get LyX to compile if I have anything in a Math environment. I am getting an error saying “Error in library(knitr) : there is no package called ‘knitr’”.I also am very puzzled by the warning “You cannot type two spaces this way. ”I checked in R and yes, knitr was not there. I installed knitr. Confirmed that the knitr module was loaded in LyX. As an example of superstitious learning, I even reconfigured.Same error message. I must say I don't understand why I need knitr to process a simple math expression in Lyx but it seems to be there if needed.LyX seems to be working fine otherwise. I have run a few other LyX files without math and everything seems fine.I can process math expressions in plain LaTeX with no problem.I am not sure if I may have a LyX problem or possibly some glitch in my Ubuntu upgrade.I'd appreciate any advice for some trouble-shooting.Very basic example attached.

Drop-cap with letterine
Can anyone suggest why I cannot insert a drop-cap in the attached file?
In the attached file, and an old file, with \usepackage{letterine} in the
preamble and the "initials" module loaded the Insert commands appear but
faded out if I have the cursor in a paragraph with a drop-cap.
If I start a new paragraph the insert commands disappear from the Insert
list.
However, both compile nicely.
In the minimum example I simply copied a drop-cap from my old file,
probably produced with LyX 2.2.0 or 2.2.1
I am probably missing something basic but I don't have a clue where to look.

Inserting a very large skip that does not apply.
I clearly am missing something obvious. I just want to place a line of text in the centre of a landscape page. I thought I could just insert a fairly large custom skip and that should do it but the skip seems be ignored. Any suggestions?

If so, he might want to present it to the LyX developers.

Re: LyX doesn't find lipsum module
This sounds stupid but you do have \usepackage{lipsum} in your LaTeX
preamble?

Chicago Manual reference in footnote with bibtex?
Is there any relatively simple way to implement the Chicago Manual of Style's full reference in a footnote style? I saw a reference to \footcite in LaTex but a) it's not clear to me how to use it even in LaTeX and there was a note in the LyX wiki implying that it was not implemented in LyX.

Re: Sectioned and multiple references in the same document
Ah yes, I see your point. Trial and error to the nth degree. Still I think
those hints will help even if I am left saying "I am not going to write a
dissertation", NO, NO! Not with Miede's!
The unfortunate thing is that Miede's classicthesis is so seductive that
people writing books and monographs may get sucked in. Come to think of
it, I already know one historian who intends to use it for his dissertation.
So we probably need any and every hint we can get.
Thanks

Re: 2.2 -- table problems
Ah, I had my pdf viewer at too low a magnification and missed that m . Very weird. I wonder if it has anything to do with the two cells in "base year"? So far my experiments have not been useful so I may well be wrong Re the 2 vs 3 digits, I am not sure but I suspect that using 2 & 3 digits in the same column is bad practice. Why is 1939 considered more accuate than the other years?

Re: 2.2 -- table problems
I don't think I understand the point about the "m". It is a math symbol in the lyx file so one would expect it to be one in the output? I am not very good with LyX tables (I usually generate mine with R and knitr) but it looks to me that you need three numbers after the decimal in the last column of the table. Try sticking zeros after the values with only 2 numbers (characters?) and you get decimal alignment.

Re: Missing icons after upgrading to LyX 2.2.0
I was tired and hungary when I did it, and while I remember using a terminal command, I have not the slightest memeory of how I did it. Exactly how would I check? So far this morning I have tried something like apt-cache showpkg qt4 (& qt4.5, 4.6 and so on ) and get nothing apt-cache showpkg qt5.6 gets a hit even though I thought I'd removed it. I read the Release Notes and originally thought that installing qt5.6 would be a good idea and then read what seemed to be some caveats that seemed to suggest that installing qt5.6 after installing LyX2.2.0 might cause problems. So I thought I'd better get rid of it. A quick look at /usr/share/ shows I have both qt4 and qt5 (apparently qt5.6 since that is the folder label and the name I used in the apt-get install command I am not exacty Linux fluent. (I possibly speak pidgin Linux?) Can someone provide detailed instructions or a pointer to a decent cheatsheet that would show me how to figure out what version of qt LyX is using please?

Re: Missing icons after upgrading to LyX 2.2.0
I installedl from what I believe is a prepackaged binary from Liviu Andronic's stable PPA <https://launchpad.net/%7Elyx-devel/+archive/release> which I have used before. My installed version of qt is qt4.5 which if I am reading the release notes correctly should be okay.

Re: This NFSS system isn't set up properly.
I don't know why but you need to use non-LaTeX fonts
Document > Settings > Fonts.
I exported the file to LaTeX and there is a command
\usepackage[garamondx]{newtxmath}
This gives the same errror as in LyX but if I remove the [garamondx] option
it compiles. Selecting the non-LaTex fonts will give you the Garamond font.

Re: Hyperlinks work in one PDF viewer and not another

Re: Hyperlinks work in one PDF viewer and not another
Thanks Scott, It looks like I'm running into a serious problem with Okular. I originally thought that it was just a LyX-Okular problem but Okular seems to have decided it will not open any web link that Evince (thanks, I could not remember that name) and Adobe Reader will.

Hyperlinks work in one PDF viewer and not another
It's a minor point as I am just experimenting as I've never needed links but I seem to be able to create a file which generates a PDF with a web-link that works with Document Viewer or Adobe Reader. It may just be a problem with my Okular installation but would someone be kind enough to see how it works on their machines?

Re: threeparttablex with longtable
Couldn't you have stuck to a nice simple table? :)
Personally I'd go with what you have. The best is the enemy of the good.
If someone gets picky and wants a table heading or "continued on next page"
crap just stick it in a custom header or footer.
The only other thing I can think of, and remember I know nothing about the
subject area---not even what it is---would be to radically revamp the table
layout to present the data in a completely different way.
What way I don't know but it seems like it might be possible just because
you seem to have too many footnotes. For example is there any way to break
the table down into sub-tables with all elements with a footnote 1 in a
table and so on? Remember, I'm just rambling as I have not idea of the
subject matter and have not spent any real time analyzing the layout of the
data
Otherwise, I'd say any extra work on what you already have done is going to
be superfluous.

Re: threeparttablex with longtable
Hi Tyler
As Jacob also mentioned we really need to see an actual example of what you
are trying to do. Here is a discussion on how to approach the task :
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample
On the other hand, given all the coding you already have done, I'd suggest
doing the whole thing in LaTeX, that is, just stay in the ERT environment.
I have never found LyX tables that easy to fill in---nice to work with
otherwise but in terms of data entry, meh, not a lot easier than raw LaTeX.
See a example I stole from somewhere on the web and slightly adapted a
while ago. It is attached below.

Re: How to highlight a specific line inside a Program Listings?
Sure, note that all I did was muck about with the example provided; the instructions seemed a bit muddled but dedicated plagar^H^H copying worked.

Re: threeparttablex with longtable
Hi Tyler;
Could you upload a minimal example of the table. It is not clear to me
exactly how you are using the ERT.
Is the entire table in the ERT or are you using a LyX-type table with the
Insert commands in an ERT?

Re: LyX with NewTXMath unable to load metric data
I would second Guillaume Munch's suggestion. Lyz is a bit fussy but once
working preforms well.

Re: Forced line-break does not work in tables
See Section 2.8.1 of the EmbeddedObjects help document. I find the instructions a bit vague but if you place the cursor in the cell where you want the text wrap (or select all the cells you want this for) right-click, select More > Settings and set the column width ( top part of the new window) you should get what you want.

Re: Have trouble running Lyx 2.1.4 in Win10
I believe that " MiKTeX you got" should read " MiKTeX you will get". Michael is suggesting installing the complete MiKTeX. It takes up a lot of space but can be awfully useful when you need some obscure package to tweak that last formatting problem. Otherwise you waste a lot of time loading individual packages on an ad hoc basis.
