Help Please
Hi thanks for the responses they have been most useful. I have a few questions
below:
I have decided to use the Manchester Uni thesis format as its very near the
London Uni version. I think I am running into unnecessary difficulties because
I am using my existing directory structure and Lyx has a preferred in
/Library/Application Support/Lyx-2.3. I have not found a preferred structure
is there one?
I am stripping out the bits I don’t want from the Thesis Template such as
figures , headings , labels etc all have an index of some form where should
these be stored & how do I ensure these are reset or can I copy the template
into the template subdirectory , which is currently empty and then start a new
doc from this.
I have loaded revtex4-1 into the shared area subdir but cannot see it from the
Doc/settings in the lyx main menu should it be there?
I like the use of Letterine for the first char of a section, how is this
\lettrine{I}{n}and the following invoked :-- Figure~\ref{shuffle_diagram};
\label{Shuffle} and where is the definitions of these –I have not found (yet)
where this is described an indication where I could look would be helpful. I
suspect they are under the Lyx-Code environment in the dropdown top lefthand
side of menu – but there is no list below it.
Sorry for these simple questions but I need to complete this soon
Many Thanks

Re: Help with gnuplot xtemplate needed
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!

Help with gnuplot xtemplate needed
Dear LyX-user,
I would like to have a gnuplot xtemplate. To that end I wrote a shell
script gnuplot2pdftex.sh like this:
#!/bin/bash
GnuplotFile=$1
BaseName=`basename $GnuplotFile .gp`
GnuplotName=$BaseName.ptx
LyxName=$BaseName.pdf_tex
gnuplot -e "set term cairolatex pdf ; set output '${GnuplotName}' "
$GnuplotFile
mv $GnuplotName $LyxName
This script works on the command line, and I can input the resulting
file gnuplot.pdf_tex in LyX, and if I put it in a preview box I get a
preview, and the document compiles.
However, if I have similar scripts for pstex, png and eps in
~/.lyx/scripts and define converters like this:
\converter "gnuplot" "pdftex2" "$$s/scripts/gnuplot2pdftex.sh $$i $$o"
"needauth"
and have a file gnuplot.xtemplate written after the model of
inkscape.xtemplate in ~/.lyx/xtemplate, then preview fails and there is
no image in the compiled document.
Despite a defined converter for pdftex and pstex I get error messages
with lyx -dbg graphics related to convert:
Execution of "convert" failed.

Need help locating LyX errors
Hi--
Need some LyX help.
I am using LyX 2.3.7 on a Mac (silicon chip) running OS Ventura 13.5.
From LaTeX Errors window:
“Selecting an error ... the cursor will jump to the location in the document
where the error occurred.”
This does not happen for me. How can I get it to work?
I then tried to locate my errors via line number. But putting
\usepackage[left,modulo]{lineno}
\linenumbers
in the LaTeX Preamble did not work.
How can I obtain line numbers as an aid for locating errors?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The minimal (non)working example .lyx and .tex files are attached.

don't
see why. \frontmatter isn't and \backmatter in the book itself aren't so
constrained.
Rich,
your first \addcontensline in ERT is superflous, The preface is in the
TOC by default
as long as it is a numbered chapter. Your mainmatter is inside the
paragraph layout for
quotation. Use standard and everything will be fine.
Problem 2: When I try to compile the mwe.lyx using pdflatex it fails
with an
error involving 'data' which is not present. The book from which the
mwe was
extracted has no problems producing a PDF using pdflatex.
I have no problem with your example. LyX 2.4.0 Beta2 which should be no
difference to 2.3.6.1

Need KOMA-Script scrbook help
Environment: lyx-2.3.6.1, TL2023.
I've been using KOMA-Script report, article, and letter2 classes for years
and all work flawlessly.
After examining available LaTeX frameworks for a book I'm converting from a
monograph I've settled on the KOMA-Script book class; and I've read the
scrguideen.pdf Part I. But, it's not working as expected. If there's a more
appropriate source for KOMA-Script help please point me to it.

Need some help with automatic syntax highlightning of code
Hello.
I'm trying to follow this guide
https://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/IncludeExternalProgramListing
But a few things have changed it seems in the last 15 years
So I've followed the guide, changed a few options to the highlight command (
highlight -O latex -t 2 -I -S sql -f -r -q $$i -o $$o )
When trying to produce pdf output, I get the error
"LyX: Cannot connvert file
No information for converting sql format files to latex.
Define a converter in the preferences."
But to me, it seems I have defined a converter in Preferences
I have the file /tmp/a.sql that I want to include and this is the result I get
! LaTeX Error: File `./0_tmp_a.tex' not found.
Type X to quit or to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: tex)
Enter file name:
! Emergency stop.
l.25 {\small \input{./0_tmp_a.tex}
}^^M
*** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)
I also see in the terminal window
Execution of "convert" failed.
support/Systemcall.cpp (276): Systemcall: 'python3 -tt "/usr/share/lyx/scripts/convertDefault.py"
sql "/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.EgnpkfDjxiRq/lyx_tmpbuf0/0_tmp_a.sql" tex

Error: Cannot convert file
No information for converting sql format files to latex.

Can you help me find the error?

Your best option may be to export the file to some more common format, and use a grammar checker on that. E.g., you can export to LaTeX and then use pandoc to convert to Word or whatever.

Grammar Checking -- noob help!
I'm writing what is essentially going to be a small text in Physics with a lot of high end Mathematics, so a good Science grammar checker would be a nice idea. I found the LyX wiki and the lyx-cg system. Are there other options? I'm also looking at Grammarly but I'm not sure it can handle the kind of language help I might need. Let's say I go with the lyx-cg idea. (Which is why I'm posting this here. :) ) I have a few questions. 1) Is lyx-cg up to date? I'm noticing that the Github files are as much as 8 years old. 2) If I have to buy something I'd prefer to buy it outright. langaugetool charges per month. Is there any way around this? 3) But the main problem is the actual lyx-cg file. I have it on Github, but what do I do with it? I was expecting to download a file and extract it. But it's giving me a list of files with their codes, not something I can download? Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob. I could use a hand. Thanks! -Dan -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Dear users,
I hope you are doing very well.
Recently I tried to import a .tex file (attached with this email) to
Lyx software, however the following error happened.
*An error occurred while running:*
*“C:/Program Files/LyX 2.3/bin/tex2lyx” -f “generic-color.tex”
“generic0color.lyx”*
It would be appreciated if you let me know if there is any solution
for this problem.
Looking at the tex file, it appears that it uses a document class
ieeecolor. LyX does not have a layout file for that, so that is the
cause of the error.
The solution is to write a layout file for ieeecolor.cls. That appears
to be based upon ieeetran, so something like:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass{ieeeolor}
# \DeclareCategory{Articles}
Format 66
Input IEEETran.layout
(saved as layouts/ieeecolor.layout, then reconfigure) should get you
much of the way there. Some things will import as ERT (whatever
ieeecolor does that IEEETran does not), but that can be fixed. Please
see chapter 5 of the Customization manual for more info.

TFM isn’t helpful. It does not tell how to get started. Plus, TFM assumes more knowledge of version control systems than most LyX users have.

The new doc appears as expected in the repository. I checkout the file into a working copy and edit with LyX, then commit the changes, make comparisons, etc. with my SVN client. In other words, I believe that I can manage things with my SVN client as expected. However, I cannot get the built-in LyX functionality to work. When the working copy of the LyX file is open, none of the expected File -> Version Control -> menu items appear, only Register…. Also, most of the icons in the Version Control Toolbar become active—only Register and Insert Version Info do anything, the latter inserting “No version control.” The working copy that I checked out is apparently known as related to SVN because it has the .svn directory. Also (this is an update from my original post) when attempting the Regiser… action, I get a message Some problem occurred while running the command: 'svn add -q "Learning SVN in LyX.lyx”'. So LyX recognizes somehow the presence of SVN but is trying to perform an add operation on a file that is already in the repository. Clearly I am missing a basic step.

Need a little help with version control
I’m trying to learn version control (SVN) with LyX on macOS. I have a little past experience with SVn in another context and I’m in Chapter 2 of the book at svnbook.red-bean.com as a refresher. I am the only person who will access the repository which is on my own computer. I have set up new repository and imported three files, a LyX document and two graphics files. (I am using a nice GUI app on the Mac). I can check out the LyX document, edit it, and commit. But what I can’t figure out is what is the LyX File -> Version Control -> Register item for? I think it wants to add the current LyX file, which is assumed to be not under version control, to the repository. But _what_ repository? I made a second LyX file named Registering.lyx and typed “Registering a document” into the dialog box. Then I get this message: Some problem occurred while running the command: 'ci -q -u -i -t-"Registering a document" "Registering.lyx"'. I think I am somehow am missing “Step 0” in setting things up. Thanks as always for any hints. Jerry -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

The problem with the "Register Item“ menu item is its missing cleverness. It assumes the RCS version control system. That’s why it is unusable with all other systems like SVN and GIT. You have to register (add) it to your repository manually or with the help of your GUI. Later you’re able to work with the LyX version control features.

Re: help with error message
No drama whatsoever for 10 years or so when downloading from TUG and upgrading (annually). But then I have a shell script to do this for me. I have now installed BasicTeX on one of my boxes as a homebrew cask and will see what happens when the annual upgrade comes round. Never mind that I don't know what upstream tex is nor package installed tex. el On 2021-01-05 18:56 , Steve Litt wrote: > On Mon, 4 Jan 2021 13:43:26 +0200 > Dr Eberhard W Lisse wrote: > >> Heba, >> >> download BasicTeX from the MacTex site.

In the past, I've had a lot of problems operating with both upstream tex, and package installed tex. So I recommend removing the package installed tex, and installing the upstream. See https://tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html for how to install from upstream.

Re: help with error message
Heba, download BasicTeX from the MacTex site. And then use tlmgr from the command line to install missing packages individually. Before an update it is trivial to save the list of installed packages so that one can re-install them afterwards. I bought me a 32Gig 4TB MacBoc 13" Pro (BtO) the other day and a 16Gig 2TB 12" Air for travel. If you can wait a year of two I would wait a year or two :-)-O and then get the biggest M1 13 inch you can then afford (BtO). greetings, el On 2021-01-04 03:34 , heba said wrote: > Thanks download 4 G then installation around 7 so it is very hard to > download.
