It'd be handy to have easy access to PDF versions of LyX manuals. Is there a place where current LyX manuals are posted on the web in PDF, or could PDFs be included with the installer?

LyX functions for Zotero
So long as we're talking about bibliography workflow: could LyX integrate better
with Zotero?
Zotero is historically a Firefox add-on that has expanded to other platforms. It
can collect references, files that go with those references, and it can plug in
to Word and other word processors to manage citations in a document.
With LyX, the best Zotero integration today is via the LyZ Firefox add-on. You
can select a reference in Zotero, and then click on send to LyX. LyZ will
place the reference in a bib file and send it to LyX via pipe. But what if you
change the reference in Zotero that is already in the bib file? Then LyZ needs
to find it in the bib file, which is not robust. And if you edit the bib file
manually, then a later export from Zotero will overwrite your changes. Also,
Zotero may use a different encoding than the bib file, so non-ASCII characters
may be broken. You can escape characters in Zotero for LaTeX with {}, but that
breaks citations of those words in other word processors.
What would be useful is bi-directional communication between LyX and Zotero so
that references can be changed on either end and so that there's no intermediate
bib format. Zotero has plug-ins for Word and LibreOffice. Perhaps LyX could have
an API that is similar to what these plug-ins require, and the Zotero folks
could be convinced to extend their plug-ins to cover LyX. Some more info

inline sweave / knitr
Over the last week or so, I've been playing with the new knitr
integration (#7887), with really nice results.
There's a very handy Chunk environment for sweave / knitr code. But is
there any support for inline knitr in LyX? I'm thinking of, e.g.,
As our experiments showed, the sum of 1 and 1 equals \Sexpr{1 + 1}.
This works if \Sexpr{1 + 1} is placed in an ERT span, but, unlike Chunk,
that's not a semantic document structure.
Re: inline sweave / knitr
Ha! It's like magic. I think of something, and it's already there.
There's some sort of a UI bug, though. Insert-Custom Insets-Sexpr
creates the inset, but I can't type or paste into it. If I click outside
of the inset and then back into the inset, I can type then. Maybe it has
to do with me using knitr instead of Sweave?
Also, in what R environment is this inset executed, and how does this
interact with knitr's previously cached chunks?

I cannot reproduce this, and I believe this is unlikely to be related to the knitr module per se. Does the Sweave module work? Both the Sweave and knitr modules uses identical definitions of the Sexpr inset. OK, this is reproducible for me in 2.0.2 with Sweave (not knitr). Insert-Custom Insets-S/R Expression creates an inset that does not take input until you double-click it. (Maybe the inset is collapsed by default, like Liviu suggested, but I don't know how to check that.) Let me know if you want me to file a bug. inline code is evaluated in the global environment.

any support for inline knitr in LyX? I'm thinking of, e.g.,
As our experiments showed, the sum of 1 and 1 equals \Sexpr{1 + 1}.
This works if \Sexpr{1 + 1} is placed in an ERT span, but, unlike Chunk,
that's not a semantic document structure.
I'm not sure what you're looking for, but have you tried Insert>
Custom Insets> Sexpr?

Re: inline sweave / knitr
On Sunday, January 29, 2012 3:29:01 PM, Yihui Xie wrote: There's some sort of a UI bug, though. Insert->Custom Insets->Sexpr creates the inset, but I can't type or paste into it. If I click outside of the inset and then back into the inset, I can type then. Maybe it has to do with me using knitr instead of Sweave? I cannot reproduce this, and I believe this is unlikely to be related to the knitr module per se. Does the Sweave module work? Both the Sweave and knitr modules uses identical definitions of the Sexpr inset. OK, this is reproducible for me in 2.0.2 with Sweave (not knitr). Insert->Custom Insets->S/R Expression creates an inset that does not take input until you double-click it. (Maybe the inset is collapsed by default, like Liviu suggested, but I don't know how to check that.) Let me know if you want me to file a bug. inline code is evaluated in the global environment. How can I make inline code pay attention to R options, e.g., options(digits=2)?

plans for Sweave
Sweave works beautifully in 2.0.2, huge thanks to Yihui Xie et al. But the situation beyond Sweave seems problematic. Ticket #7887 is stalled. There's neither a pgfSweave module nor a knitr module. knitr is not even available for 2.24.1 for Windows. RFE: could we have pgfSweave support in 2.0.3? knitr sounds fantastic, but I don't really want to wait for it, and pgfSweave could work today.

Pavel Sanda sanda at lyx.org writes: we want old links eg ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable/1.6.x/ to remain working. This seems achievable by using ProFTPD as an FTP daemon and its mod_rewrite, which is similar to the Apache httpd mod_rewrite.

Re: Lyx 2.0 RC1 saves over old format files
Richard Heck rgheck at comcast.net writes: This is a good idea, and it wouldn't be that hard to do: (i) When we open the file, set a Buffer flag if we have to convert from an older format; (ii) when we try to save, check the flag, and pop a dialog if it's set. Can you add this to trac, please? Being confronted with a dialog after making some changes really sounds like suboptimal workflow. If LyX 2.0 can save in 1.6 format, can it just default to doing that for files that are already in 1.6 format? It could also provide a separate command, enabled only for pre-2.0 files, to upgrade the format to 2.0. FWIW, this is the workflow when opening .doc files (older format) in Word 2007. The option to upgrade the format to .docx is called Convert. The window title also contains a special mark [Compatibility Mode] when a .doc file is opened. If you do use a dialog, it's also unclear what format is used for the automatically generated back-up file.
