LyX 1.3.5 on Mac OS 10.3.6
I am relatively new to LyX and even less familiar with the hardcore
stuff (LaTex). I have a consistent problem in using style files in
BibTex, wherein I select an (author, year) format and it doesn't
translate into ps or pdf properly.
In a document, I successfully included my .bib file and a style file.
I use the menu (Insert:Citation reference...) to include a citation
reference. The math number formats (e.g., [1],[23]) seem to work fine.
However, other styles do not.
Example:
What I would like to see:
"...an open question (Hairston et al. 1960)."
LyX code
"...an open question [Hairston1960]." [where Hairston1960 is my BibTex
key, and it shows up in a gray box].
PDF
"...an open question [Hairston et al. (1960) Hairston, Smith, and
Slobodkin]." [with square brackets instead of parentheses, and with
extra names and parentheses inside the brackets]
In addition, the citations sometimes stick out into the margin.
