EndNote to LyX
I'm writing my thesis in LyX 1.5.1. on MAC OS X. I also use EndNote. How do I generate my bibliography from EndNote files in LyX? I tried to convert my EndNote files into BibTex, but did not suceed. I am a LyX newbie and not accustomed to programming and the like. I need an easy-to-understand, step-by-step guide. Thanks a lot. Jannika
Re: EndNote to LyX
Hi, Jannika I am using Lyx and bibtex on SUSE Linux. I know little about endnote, lyx, bibtex on MacOS, so I can't make any suggestions about them. You might use other bibtex tools on Mac. BibDesk http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/ JabRef (work on JAVA, I'm not sure it can work on MacOS) http://jabref.sourceforge.net/ And here is pubmed data base, which can export Bibtex format.

Re: EndNote to LyX
Hi, Jannika-- I would also recommend switching to JabRef from Endnote. A few years ago, I migrated from Endnote to JabRef/BibTeX and documented the steps here: http://homepages.nyu.edu/~mg152/downloads/bibtex.html This was the only method that worked for me; the others all screwed up one thing or another. Note, though, that even this method won't preserve your special characters (ü, etc.)--you'll need to either do some manual search-and-replacing afterwards.

Re: EndNote to LyX
Follow the wiki guide for bibliographies in the humanities: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/HumanitiesLyX you'll need the MLA bibliography style, mla.bst, which is available from CTAN.org.

Re: EndNote to LyX
Jannika, Here is what I suggest for Mac OS X (I have used this successfully in the past). I got part of these instructions on the web but I don't recall where. So I am paraphrasing. 1) Convert your EndNote library to BibTex format. a. Within EndNote, Edit-Output Styles-Open Style Manager and select BibTex Export. After you click on any reference in the main window, you should see the BibTex output in the preview window (click Show Preview if necessary). b. DON'T DO THIS: In principle, you should be able to export your entire EndNote library in this format by selecting File-Export...- Save file type as Text Only. Unfortunately, this messes up the file encoding for some reason. c. DO THIS: Select all the references in the EndNote window (Apple- A), then copy them with formatting (Apple-K). Switch to a text editor (e.g., emacs, or even Word) and paste the buffer in an empty window (Apple-V). Save the file with an extension .bib (e.g., myrefs.bib; if using Word, make sure to save as a Text Only with line breaks). 2) Import it within BibDesk (download from http:// bibdesk.sourceforge.net/) to automatically generate cite keys (which EndNote does not do). a. File-Open Using Temporary Cite Keys... b. Select the .bib file you just saved and answer Generate when prompted. c. Save this file within BibDesk (File-Save) That's it. Now you should have your entire EndNote library available in BibTex format. If you need to add references to the library in the future, you can download them directly into BibDesk (e.g., under the Searches menu).

The latest classfiles from AGU are said to incorporate this stuff.) This will take a little setting up, first for LaTeX, then for LyX. There is also an AGU XML style, but that's very incomplete and I wonder if anybody uses it. Regards Martin
Universal/Intel/PPC binaries
Dear LyX users (actually, this is more a question for developers, or anyone who can clarify--) Since at least 1.5x, the download ftp directory has three .dmg files for LyX: a Universal, a PPC, and an Intel binary. Do all three get updated at the same time? Which of the three would you recommend? Naive suggestion: If there is no difference between a Universal and a PPC/Intel version, then perhaps there should just be a Universal build to keep things simple... Maria
Re: Extend picture over the whole page
Helge Hafting wrote:
In the float, use a \vspace command with a negative argument
to get to the edge of paper. (i.e. you cancel the effect of the margin.)
Then you insert a graphich big enough to cover the page.
hmm, this seems to affect only text not picture.
any other idea ?
pavel
No need for another idea - this works, i tested it.
There is probably some minor error - perhaps you have a linefeed
or something between the ERT and the figure? They should be
right next to each other, as in the attached demo document.
(Made with lyx 1.5.0, but the trick should work for lyx 1.3 and 1.4 too.)
i had checked noindent paragraph inside the float and after that
\vspace dont work. thanks for the hints, its ok now.
The figure is sized so the width is 100% of page size, so it will
fit exactly.
The margin is cancelled by ERT: \hspace{-1in}\hspace{-\oddsidemargin}
and then the figure follows immediately after the ERT - on the
same line. This works!
Now, filling the whole page from top to bottom might be a little
trickier, as latex may have trouble placing a float that
is bigger than the text area. If you get such problems, use
\raisebox which can lie to latex and give a fake height so latex
thinks it fits. Don't make the fake height too small, or latex
will overlap text (or other floats) over your figure.
\textheight is probably a
good fake height - the float will occupy the entire text area
on that page.
You will need \raisebox (or \vspace*) anyway to get above the top margin.
See the following webpage for information about latex page
layout and the names of various margin measurements.

Bib2wiki question
I'm building a bibliography on a wiki (mediawiki) so that other people can collaborate their bibtex entries. I then cut-and-paste the bibtex entry page from the wiki into a file and then run a script that combines bibtex2thml and html2wiki. I then cut-and-paste the output to a wiki page. All this cut-and-pasting is manual and is becoming a pain. But it gives a nice looking bibliography with minimal effort and also an html file that can be used to write a paper with Word if desired. Is there a simpler way? I would like to run this script automatically and I've heard of wiki bots but I don't know where to begin. TIA -- myriam

footnotes using numbers and letters
My content is organized by numbered verses.
I want my footnotes to be numbered for the first footnote in the verse
plus the letter a. And the superscript would just be a lowercase letter.
Then subsequent footnotes within the same verse would be the next
alphabetical letter.
I guess I could modify \subsection to not add a newline but just let the
content follow it.
This would be like footnotes/sidenotes as often seen in a Holy Bible.
Here is an example (using random text generator):
1. Viverra, enim porttitor eros, sagittis leo^a, pretium cursus. In
commodo nec, scelerisque a, diam. Etiam sit amet^b, purus. Quisque eu
convallis tellus. Maecenas semper auctor. Aenean bibendum.
2. Nulla ligula felis, malesuada aliquet^a. In et ultrices posuere
vehicula convallis viverra, cubilia Curae; Integer^b leo ac quam enim,
euismod nulla dolor placerat^c id, tortor.
--- (footnotes here)---
1a Also see verse 96
b Mispelled in original.
2a More details in book ...
b Original language had this as ...
c Also see verse 48
(That was just a random example.)
So to restate what I want: footnotes use numbers and letters starting with
a on first footnote per verse. Second and later footnotes per verse are
not numbered but use next letter alphabetically.
Any ideas or example code to do this?
If that is too hard, then I'd like to just use letters a ... z for my
footnotes. (Hopefully, I don't have more than 26.)
I read that \footnote[num]{Text here.} only takes a number for [num].

Universal/Intel/PPC binaries
Dear LyX users (actually, this is more a question for developers, or anyone who can clarify--) Since at least 1.5x, the download ftp directory has three .dmg files for LyX: a Universal, a PPC, and an Intel binary.

The figure is sized so the width is 100% of page size, so it will
fit exactly.
The margin is cancelled by ERT: \hspace{-1in}\hspace{-\oddsidemargin}
and then the figure follows immediately after the ERT - on the
same line. This works!
Now, filling the whole page from top to bottom might be a little
trickier, as latex may have trouble placing a float that
is bigger than the text area. If you get such problems, use
\raisebox which can lie to latex and give a fake height so latex
thinks it fits. Don't make the fake height too small, or latex
will overlap text (or other floats) over your figure.
\textheight is probably a
good fake height - the float will occupy the entire text area
on that page.
You will need \raisebox (or \vspace*) anyway to get above the top margin.

layout and the names of various margin measurements.

Bib2wiki question
I'm building a bibliography on a wiki (mediawiki) so that other people can collaborate their bibtex entries. I then cut-and-paste the bibtex entry page from the wiki into a file and then run a script that combines bibtex2thml and html2wiki. I then cut-and-paste the output to a wiki page. All this cut-and-pasting is manual and is becoming a pain. But it gives a nice looking bibliography with minimal effort and also an html file that can be used to write a paper with Word if desired. Is there a simpler way? I would like to run this script automatically and I've heard of wiki bots but I don't know where to begin. TIA -- myriam

footnotes using numbers and letters
My content is organized by numbered verses.
I want my footnotes to be numbered for the first footnote in the verse
plus the letter a. And the superscript would just be a lowercase letter.
Then subsequent footnotes within the same verse would be the next
alphabetical letter.
I guess I could modify \subsection to not add a newline but just let the
content follow it.
This would be like footnotes/sidenotes as often seen in a Holy Bible.
Here is an example (using random text generator):
1. Viverra, enim porttitor eros, sagittis leo^a, pretium cursus. In
commodo nec, scelerisque a, diam. Etiam sit amet^b, purus. Quisque eu
convallis tellus. Maecenas semper auctor. Aenean bibendum.
2. Nulla ligula felis, malesuada aliquet^a. In et ultrices posuere
vehicula convallis viverra, cubilia Curae; Integer^b leo ac quam enim,
euismod nulla dolor placerat^c id, tortor.
--- (footnotes here)---
1a Also see verse 96
b Mispelled in original.
2a More details in book ...
b Original language had this as ...
c Also see verse 48
(That was just a random example.)
So to restate what I want: footnotes use numbers and letters starting with
a on first footnote per verse. Second and later footnotes per verse are
not numbered but use next letter alphabetically.
Any ideas or example code to do this?
If that is too hard, then I'd like to just use letters a ... z for my
footnotes. (Hopefully, I don't have more than 26.)
I read that \footnote[num]{Text here.} only takes a number for [num].

Hi, Jannika-- I would also recommend switching to JabRef from Endnote.

Re: EndNote to LyX
Jannika, Here is what I suggest for Mac OS X (I have used this successfully in the past). I got part of these instructions on the web but I don't recall where. So I am paraphrasing. 1) Convert your EndNote library to BibTex format. a. Within EndNote, Edit->Output Styles->Open Style Manager and select BibTex Export. After you click on any reference in the main window, you should see the BibTex output in the preview window (click Show Preview if necessary). b. DON'T DO THIS: In principle, you should be able to export your entire EndNote library in this format by selecting File->Export...- >Save file type as Text Only. Unfortunately, this messes up the file encoding for some reason. c. DO THIS: Select all the references in the EndNote window (Apple- A), then copy them with formatting (Apple-K). Switch to a text editor (e.g., emacs, or even Word) and paste the buffer in an empty window (Apple-V). Save the file with an extension .bib (e.g., myrefs.bib; if using Word, make sure to save as a Text Only with line breaks). 2) Import it within BibDesk (download from http:// bibdesk.sourceforge.net/) to automatically generate cite keys (which EndNote does not do). a. File->Open Using Temporary Cite Keys... b. Select the .bib file you just saved and answer Generate when prompted. c. Save this file within BibDesk (File->Save) That's it. Now you should have your entire EndNote library available in BibTex format. If you need to add references to the library in the future, you can download them directly into BibDesk (e.g., under the Searches menu).

Thanks. I turned it up from 0 to 9 and now my file sizes are very small. I
also read some about the compression.

Okay. I see that The GIMP has Image-->Print Size... ("Set Image Print
Resolution"). So I changed my width from 16 inches to 6.00 inches which
automatically changed the height and resolution. And it went from 72x72
resolution to 192x192.
Thanks. It appears to be better. Here is an example:
http://www.reedmedia.net/~reed/tmp-axwkfcvufbvu/letter-size-image-test.pdf
(225234 bytes)
In the above example, on screen and also the printed copy the 192
resolution looks better than the 300 resolution. (Both at 6in.)
Now I need to re-do all my images again :)

I don't know about that.

I don't think my printing company doesn't offer that option for me. I do
have a copy of a book printed by them with examples of 300 ppi images and
they are acceptable.

I never thought about re-creating the images, but that is too much time
