[ANNOUNCE] LyX 2.0.5

[rgheck]

We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.0.5. This is the fifth
maintenance release in the 2.0.x series.

LyX 2.0.5 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We encourage all
LyX users to upgrade to this version.

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.

You can download LyX 2.0.5 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

If you think you found a bug in LyX 2.0.5, either e-mail the LyX
developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug
report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at
http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX
users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.0.5.

What's new in LyX 2.0.5
===

The ViewSource widget now allows you to select the backend to display,
e.g., LaTeX or XHTML, rather than the output format. The previous choice
really made no sense: You didn't see a PDF there if you chose one of the
PDF output formats, but rather LaTeX. This solves some long-standing issues
with ViewSource.

There has been an important change in how the language lfun works.
  - language LANG now toggles between languages
(status quo ante LyX 2.0.2)
  - language LANG set sets to language LANG
(meaning of language LANG as of LyX 2.0.2)
  - language [reset] resets to the document language.
  - Menu functions are unchanged.

That's the difference between Layout and InsetLayout: The former is

There's a proposal to put some kind of combo box on the toolbar to allow

Hi all,

Can someone show me how I can update text using Lyx or Tex code? 
Basically, what I want is similar to the Bookmark + cross reference 
features in MS Word. For example, I create a bookmark with text 
update me. Then I create a cross reference somewhere else in the 
document. The cross reference also shows update me. When I change 
the bookmark text to you are updated and select to update the whole 
document, the cross referenced text now shows you are updated.


Just put a label: InsertLabel, with whatever text you want. Then put a 
cross reference to the label where you want. Change the label and the 
cross-ref will change, too, automatically, though of course all the 
labels have to have different names.


If you don't want the label to show in output, just put it in a note 
(InsertNoteLyX Note). You can put the label in a note, too, if you 
really don't want it to be output.

Hello,

I have several questions regarding numbered equations:

  1. How does one add punctuation to numbered equations?
  2. How does one make the equations be part of a paragraph that begins
 before and continues after them?
  3. How does one continue a numbered equation across multiple lines?


That's a lot of questions. ;-)


For example:
_ 



Three of the most often quoted elementary mathematical
   equations are

   2 + 2 = 4(1),
   C = 2 x pi x r  (2), and
   A = (1/2) b x h   (3).

   As you can see, Equation 2 is the most complex.

_ 

In the above example, I can't figure out how to add the commas, 
period, and conjunction adjacent to the equation numbers.


If you're using an equation array or something of the sort to format 
this, then you cannot add punctuation after the labels. There simply 
isn't any way to do this, so far as I know, not unless you define (or 
find) your own environments that allow it. An option is to turn on the 
fleqn option by putting fleqn in the Options field under 
DocumentSettingsDocument ClassCustom. This moves the numbers to the 
left, and then you can add the text in the usual way. Alternatively, 
change your syntax. These are three...:.


Also notice that the sentence beginning with As is part of the 
paragraph beginning with Three. I can't get Lyx to format them 
right. The sentence beginning with Three is indented because it 
starts a paragraph. When I add anything after an equation number, LyX 
automatically treats it as a new paragraph. So in the above example, 
the line beginning with As you can is treated as the start of a new 
paragraph and indented.


I'm not sure I fully understand this, but compare the two paragraphs in 
the attached document. In the second case, where the paragraph is 
indented, there is a return after the formula. If you put the cursor at 
the beginning of what and backspace, you will delete that return.


Regarding my third question, I have a long equation that should span 
multiple lines. Instead, LyX keeps it on one line that runs off the 
right side of the page, when it should look like:


   5 = 1 + 5 = 2 + 3 = 3 + 2 = 4 + 1 = 10/2
  = 50/10 = 100/20   (4)

Thanks for your help.

You'll have to use something like the gather environment, or maybe an 
align environment, to format this correctly. Example in the file, again.

Re: Formatting numbered equations

Hello,

I have several questions regarding numbered equations:

  1. How does one add punctuation to numbered equations?
  2. How does one make the equations be part of a paragraph that begins
 before and continues after them?
  3. How does one continue a numbered equation across multiple lines?


That's a lot of questions. ;-)


For example:
_ 



Three of the most often quoted elementary mathematical
   equations are

   2 + 2 = 4(1),
   C = 2 x pi x r  (2), and
   A = (1/2) b x h   (3).

   As you can see, Equation 2 is the most complex.

_ 

In the above example, I can't figure out how to add the commas, 
period, and conjunction adjacent to the equation numbers.


If you're using an equation array or something of the sort to format 
this, then you cannot add punctuation after the labels. There simply 
isn't any way to do this, so far as I know, not unless you define (or 
find) your own environments that allow it. An option is to turn on the 
"fleqn" option by putting "fleqn" in the Options field under 
Document>Settings>Document Class>Custom. This moves the numbers to the 
left, and then you can add the text in the usual way. Alternatively, 
change your syntax. "These are three...:".


Also notice that the sentence beginning with "As" is part of the 
paragraph beginning with "Three." I can't get Lyx to format them 
right. The sentence beginning with "Three" is indented because it 
starts a paragraph. When I add anything after an equation number, LyX 
automatically treats it as a new paragraph. So in the above example, 
the line beginning with "As you can" is treated as the start of a new 
paragraph and indented.


I'm not sure I fully understand this, but compare the two paragraphs in 
the attached document. In the second case, where the paragraph is 
indented, there is a return after the formula. If you put the cursor at 
the beginning of "what" and backspace, you will delete that return.


Regarding my third question, I have a long equation that should span 
multiple lines. Instead, LyX keeps it on one line that runs off the 
right side of the page, when it should look like:


   5 = 1 + 5 = 2 + 3 = 3 + 2 = 4 + 1 = 10/2
  = 50/10 = 100/20   (4)

Thanks for your help.

You'll have to use something like the gather environment, or maybe an 
align environment, to format this correctly. Example in the file, again.

I also think that VC probably provides all you need for collaboration

For me, a main obstacle is the lack of a suitable web service. My Faculty does
not provide svn or other VC repositories, and I did not find a suitable
service on the web yet, where I can savely store my data in such a way that
only selected people can access it. But maybe I just didn't search long
enough.

   
I looked into some of this a while ago, and there aren't great options

in your preamble:

\newcommand\hello[1]{2^{#1}}
Then you'd get the output you expect.

Note that you do need to be careful about whether the brackets are 
escaped, i.e., whether the LaTeX is: {, or \{. LyX displays argument 
brackets in red, and delimiter brackets in blue. To get the former, 
you type \{, ironically enough, though you will get them automatically

The question is: now, what do I have to write in myreport.sty to
change, for instance, the document's title's color to Blue?

   

Look at the komascript documentation, which you can find here:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/
There's a lot of it, so you may have to search. But one of the nice 
things about those classes is that they provide a lot of "hooks" for you 
to change things, without having to get deep into the LaTeX internals. 
As for changing the color of the title, I do not know, as I have never 
had to do anything like that.

Yes.


Or is it just me who thinks that it would improve workflow and

Not just you. The good thing with LyX is that you can navigate easily 
from paragraph to paragraph with the keyboard. But in order to make 
that feature really useful without being forced to use the mouse, you 
would also need shortcuts for navigating between sections.



In case it's interesting, I'll file an enhancement
request. Doesn't sound terribly difficult to implement, but I may be
wrong...


Should not be terribly hard indeed. All the code for scrolling 
settings is in BufferView class if you want to experiment.


The other thing I've considered, along these lines, is the ability to 
collapse sections, a la the ability to collapse for loops, functions, 
etc, in any decent programming editor. That would in some ways serve a 
very similar purpose, especially if you could just hit "Collapse All" 
and then use the outliner to uncollapse what you actually wanted to 
edit. Little triangles at the side, like in QtCreator, would work too.

Yes. Do this:


If that is what you did, I don't know what the matter is. If you start LyX

You probably have an error somewhere in the layout file.

Generally, though, the documentation is written by whoever has the

could be better explained, or just isn't included, then try to do better 
and post your changes to the docs list. The maintainer of the relevant

Define a new format, ltxpak, and then declare texdirflatten as a 
latex--ltxpak converter. With appropriate arguments, of course. This 
all gets done under ToolsPreferencesFile Handling.


There is a complication, namely, that everything is going to happen here 
in LyX's temporary directory. So what I think will happen is that 
texdirflatten will create its directory at e.g.

/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.X0765/lyx_tmpbuf0/flat/
and now the question is: How do we export this? i.e., copy it to the 
original file location? Answer: We define a copier, and tell it to 
copy this directory to the original document directory. Have a look at 
the ext_copy.py copier that is used with the LaTeX--HTML converters. 
You may be able to use that, or at least to adapt it to your purposes.


Copiers, etc, are all discussed in the Customization manual.

Hmm. Perhaps this is done at the beginning of the document.

Collect files related to a LaTeX job in a single directory.

The Perl script parses a LaTeX file recursively, scanning all child files, and
collects details of any included and other data files. These component files,
are then all put into a single directory (thus “flattening” the document’s
directory tree).

Thanks for the offer. My first suggestion would be to describe to the 
LyX documentation list. It's low volume, but issues relating to the docs 
tend to get discussed there.


Generally, though, the documentation is written by whoever has the 
initiative to do it. So if there's something you think isn't clear, 
could be better explained, or just isn't included, then try to do better 
and post your changes to the docs list. The maintainer of the relevant 
manual will then discuss them with you. For the tutorial, user's guide, 
and math manual, that's Uwe Stohr; for the customization and additional 
features manuals (I think), that's me. Others don't have a dedicated 
maintainer.


Hint: Use change tracking when you make these sorts of changes, so it's 
easy for us to identify them.

I don't think this is a general phenomenon.  It probably is a function 
either of the document class you are using or something specific in 
your file.  If I write a short test file using the article class, 
insert a BibTeX bibliography, and add some text after the 
bibliography, the extra text occurs on the same page as the 
bibliography (with a little extra vertical space separating them.


In some classes, chapters always start on an odd page, and the 
references are formatted in such classes as an unnumbered chapter usually.

and how could I do it?

   
Define a new format, ltxpak, and then declare texdirflatten as a 
latex--ltxpak converter. With appropriate arguments, of course. This 
all gets done under ToolsPreferencesFile Handling.


There is a complication, namely, that everything is going to happen here 
in LyX's temporary directory. So what I think will happen is that 
texdirflatten will create its directory at e.g.

/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.X0765/lyx_tmpbuf0/flat/
and now the question is: How do we export this? i.e., copy it to the 
original file location? Answer: We define a copier, and tell it to 
copy this directory to the original document directory. Have a look at 
the ext_copy.py copier that is used with the LaTeX--HTML converters. 
You may be able to use that, or at least to adapt it to your purposes.
