Re: Changing default font...to cmr
Dear Liviu, I would change the default font for the document class article. I would have my final complied document (in pdf) having cmr or dcr font class (i.e. title: cmr/cmbx; section: cmbx; body: cmr, and so forth). When I set in documentssettingsfonts the computer roman modern font, the final output in pdf uses the font sfrm or sfbx and I do not understand why.

1.) check that you don't have Sans Serif selected in

insert vertical line - keyboard issue
Helo, I' using Lyx 1.3.4 running unter Suse Linux 9.1 in Parallels on a mac. I want to insert the vertical line which is on my (german) keyboard on the -key left from y. Normally I use AltGr+ but this key seems to be mapped wrong, since the and the don't work. Is there any way of inserting a key in Lyx, like with the alt+Number way of entering keys. thanks Robert
Re: Changing default font...to cmr
dear jurgen,
many thanks, but it does not work...
I have tryied both your ideas, but nothing...
The final compiled article (in pdf) results with fonts SFRM or SFBX, but not
crm /or cmbx...
I do not know how to deal with it...
have you some ideas??
bye

When you switch to natbib, there are two things you must do. First is change the .bst file to something natbib can handle (which is apparently what you're doing); second is to tell LyX you want to use natbib (which apparently you're not doing). You can do the latter in Document Settings Bibliography, and select the Natbib option. Bennett

Do you have a plain '' character in your database? Ampersands need to be

You probably have an unescaped in your bib file, which needs to be written: \. Otherwise, LaTeX interprets it as a tab alignment character, hence the error.

Author information in article class
dear all,
I would put specific author informations in a document class article, which
by default does not have tools for some of this information.
In particular, I would have in the author information the following:
address, email, institution, keywords,url, and one newcommand called JEL.
I have tried in inserting in the preamble some package of the amsart class
and doing \address{} in the text, but I have returned the error undefined
control sequence.
Might you tell me how to insert the above information? I would use only the
article class (no ams or other class)
Thanks

Alternatively, I have attached my simple example... does anyone know how to make it work? This is not urgent/important.

If you want these environments, then you have to use a document class
that provides them, or else define them yourself using LaTeX and write a
layout file for the new class or package. You might want to check out
some of the other article classes, such as the koma-script article
class, or the paper class, which do things a bit differently. And if you
want to change aspects of the layout, you can use packages like titlesec
to do so. Everything can be tweaked, but the tweaking usually involves
LaTeX.

You can generally set these up just by entering the text and placing
the text with vertical or horizontal spacing. Vertical spacing can be
entered with Insert-Formatting-Vertical Space. Horizontal spacing
can be entered with Insert-Formatting-Horizontal Fill, which will
right align items (or evenly space them) or if you want a specific
amount of space use, in ERT, \hspace{1cm}. Just adjust everything to
your needs.
If I remember correctly the upcoming LyX 1.6.0 will allow for use of
other layout options with 'modules', but otherwise as Richard pointed
out this not easily accomplished or takes some work to accomplish.

Font color bug in displayed equations?
I am using lyx 1.5.4. In previous versions, I could have a displayed equation that was colored. Now it seems that this does not work properly if the equation is not in its own paragraph. Consider the attached example. If I have a displayed equation as part of a paragraph, then its color is not changed, but equations that have carriage returns before and after seem to pick up the proper font color changes.

Temporarily releasing margins?
Hi all,
On the title page of my new book, I want the title in \Huge size and centered.
However, the book's margins make the last word of the title wrap, which of
course isn't what I want.
I figured I could temporarily release the margins with \leftskip and
\rightskip, but when I did, the title and everything else on the page was the
new margin (even if I later made new \leftskip\rightskip to undo the first
ones, and worse yet, everything after the first \leftskip and \rightskip was
full justified, with the first char on the left margin and the last char on
the right margin, regardless of how short the line. Ugh!
I removed all \leftskip and \rightskip and I tried this old standby:
\addtolength{\leftmargin}{-1.0in}\addtolength{\rightmargin}
{-1.0in}\addtolength{\textwidth}{2.0in}
But that did absolutely nothing -- it was as if I hadn't put it in.
Basically, I need to release the margins for just one line. Anyone have any
ideas that don't involve new packages or document classes or changing the
margins for the whole book?
Thanks

The problem is not own paragraph v. continuing an existing paragraph.
To verify this, I stuck the cursor inside the first math inset,
highlighted the entire equation and copied it to the clipboard, then
positioned the cursor just after the colon, inserted a new display
formula, and pasted in what I'd copied. This left two copies of the
same equation, one above the other, with the first one colored red.
The problem is that, in your LyX file, the LaTeX command \normalcolor
got embedded in the inset. Here's an excerpt from the LyX file:
\begin_inset Formula \[
{\color{red}{\normalcolor \left[\begin{array}{ccc}
I don't know how it got there, but I don't think it's a routine
insertion by LyX. I also created a display equation from scratch, again
right after the colon, and it too came out colored. Maybe you did
something during the creation of the first equation that caused it to
revert in color?
Cheers,
Paul

I am a total newbie user of Lyx, using it to co-write a paper with two =

The only person in our team who knows how to use Lyx and Latex is in =
Cuba right now and is mostly incommunicado.
The problem is that when we try to generate a PDF file from the .lyx =
file, we get a bunch of Undefined control sequence errors.
We generate the PDF using: File Export pdflatex.
This used to work about a week ago, but it doesn't anymore. No idea why.
I tried to debug the .lyx file by deleting text from the end, and found
=
that even if I delete everything except the very first instruction:
\conferenceinfo{WikiSym'08,} {September 8--10, 2008, Porto, Portugal.}
The PDF generation still fails.
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated and will greatly =
improve your future Karma I'm sure ;-).
It seems like you must be using the wrong document class. The
\conferenceinfo command isn't standard LaTeX but will be defined by some
document class. Probably this setting got changed. So what do you have under
DoucumentSettingsDocument Class?

Re: Font color bug in displayed equations?
On Apr 28, 2008, at 2:14 PM, Paul A. Rubin wrote:
The problem is not own paragraph v. continuing an existing paragraph.
To verify this, I stuck the cursor inside the first math inset,
highlighted the entire equation and copied it to the clipboard, then
positioned the cursor just after the colon, inserted a new display
formula, and pasted in what I'd copied. This left two copies of the
same equation, one above the other, with the first one colored red.
The problem is that, in your LyX file, the LaTeX command \normalcolor
got embedded in the inset. Here's an excerpt from the LyX file:
\begin_inset Formula \[
{\color{red}{\normalcolor \left[\begin{array}{ccc}
I don't know how it got there, but I don't think it's a routine
insertion by LyX. I also created a display equation from scratch,
again right after the colon, and it too came out colored. Maybe you
did something during the creation of the first equation that caused it
to revert in color?
Cheers,
Paul
Thanks. I re-entered the equation and it worked. I am not sure how
the color problem occurred...

Looking at the raw Latex file, I have:
\typeout{Document Class 'sig-alternate' 7th. June '07. Modified by G.K.M.
Tobin/Gerry Murray}
So, it looks like I am using the sig-alternate class.
Yet, when I go to Document Settings Document Class, I see article. If I click on the drop down list, I don't see any sig-alternate document class. Yet, I have files called sig-alternate.cls and sig-alternat.layout in the same directory as my .lyx file.
What should I do?
Yes, you're probably supposed to be using sig-alternate. Now BACKUP THE
LYX FILE in case anything goes badly wrong. OK. Open the LyX file in a
standard text editor. Near the top, you will see a line like this:
\textclass article
Change it to:
\textclass sig-alternate
Save and try to open the file with LyX. This should work.
It is possible to use local layout files with LyX---that's why
sig-alternate.layout is where it is---but at present it's not possible
to select such a file in the GUI. The local file stuff makes it possible
for someone to create a layout file, then send it to you with a LyX
file, and you don't have to put it into your personal LyX configuration
directory, which is where layout files normally go, so they can be used
by any file, rather than just by a single file. I think this is
different in 1.6, but I'm not sure.

As said, you cannot mix caption commands of the caption package and of the

If the documentation of the caption package doesn't help you, I suggest to ask on the newsgroup

and doing \address{} in the text, but I have returned the error undefined

Might you tell me how to insert the above information? I would use only the
article class (no ams or other class)

If you want these environments, then you have to use a document class
that provides them, or else define them yourself using LaTeX and write a
layout file for the new class or package. You might want to check out
some of the other article classes, such as the koma-script article
class, or the paper class, which do things a bit differently. And if you
want to change aspects of the layout, you can use packages like titlesec
to do so. Everything can be tweaked, but the tweaking usually involves
LaTeX.

You can generally set these up just by entering the text and placing
the text with vertical or horizontal spacing. Vertical spacing can be
entered with Insert-Formatting-Vertical Space. Horizontal spacing
can be entered with Insert-Formatting-Horizontal Fill, which will
right align items (or evenly space them) or if you want a specific
amount of space use, in ERT, \hspace{1cm}. Just adjust everything to
your needs.
If I remember correctly the upcoming LyX 1.6.0 will allow for use of
other layout options with 'modules', but otherwise as Richard pointed
out this not easily accomplished or takes some work to accomplish.

Font color bug in displayed equations?
I am using lyx 1.5.4. In previous versions, I could have a displayed equation that was colored. Now it seems that this does not work properly if the equation is not in its own paragraph. Consider the attached example. If I have a displayed equation as part of a paragraph, then its color is not changed, but equations that have carriage returns before and after seem to pick up the proper font color changes. Any fixes? James colorBug.lyx Description: Binary data
Temporarily releasing margins?
Hi all,
On the title page of my new book, I want the title in \Huge size and centered.
However, the book's margins make the last word of the title wrap, which of
course isn't what I want.
I figured I could temporarily release the margins with \leftskip and
\rightskip, but when I did, the title and everything else on the page was the
new margin (even if I later made new \leftskip\rightskip to undo the first
ones, and worse yet, everything after the first \leftskip and \rightskip was
full justified, with the first char on the left margin and the last char on
the right margin, regardless of how short the line. Ugh!
I removed all \leftskip and \rightskip and I tried this old standby:
\addtolength{\leftmargin}{-1.0in}\addtolength{\rightmargin}
{-1.0in}\addtolength{\textwidth}{2.0in}
But that did absolutely nothing -- it was as if I hadn't put it in.
Basically, I need to release the margins for just one line. Anyone have any
ideas that don't involve new packages or document classes or changing the
margins for the whole book?
Thanks

The problem is not own paragraph v. continuing an existing paragraph.
To verify this, I stuck the cursor inside the first math inset,
highlighted the entire equation and copied it to the clipboard, then
positioned the cursor just after the colon, inserted a new display
formula, and pasted in what I'd copied. This left two copies of the
same equation, one above the other, with the first one colored red.
The problem is that, in your LyX file, the LaTeX command \normalcolor
got embedded in the inset. Here's an excerpt from the LyX file:
\begin_inset Formula \[
{\color{red}{\normalcolor \left[\begin{array}{ccc}
I don't know how it got there, but I don't think it's a routine
insertion by LyX. I also created a display equation from scratch, again
right after the colon, and it too came out colored. Maybe you did
something during the creation of the first equation that caused it to
revert in color?
Cheers,
Paul

if you have the french version of lyx, the preamble text would be in
document/paramètres/préambule latex.
(or documents/settings/preamble in the english version). Unless you have
done a lot of ERT, the box should not be empty if you use specific packages.
I guess you can safely copy and paste

Looking at the raw Latex file, I have:

So, it looks like I am using the sig-alternate class.
Yet, when I go to Document Settings Document Class, I see article. If I click on the drop down list, I don't see any sig-alternate document class. Yet, I have files called sig-alternate.cls and sig-alternat.layout in the same directory as my .lyx file.
What should I do?
Yes, you're probably supposed to be using sig-alternate. Now BACKUP THE
LYX FILE in case anything goes badly wrong. OK. Open the LyX file in a
standard text editor. Near the top, you will see a line like this:
\textclass article
Change it to:
\textclass sig-alternate
Save and try to open the file with LyX. This should work.
It is possible to use local layout files with LyX---that's why
sig-alternate.layout is where it is---but at present it's not possible
to select such a file in the GUI. The local file stuff makes it possible
for someone to create a layout file, then send it to you with a LyX
file, and you don't have to put it into your personal LyX configuration
directory, which is where layout files normally go, so they can be used
by any file, rather than just by a single file. I think this is
different in 1.6, but I'm not sure.

1.) check that you don't have "Sans Serif" selected in
Document->Fonts->Default Family
2.) if 1.) is "Standard", try to set it to "Roman"
3.) if that doesn't help, insert to preamble

Maybe you misconfigured X-Windows.

Do you have a plain '&' character in your database? Ampersands need to be
escaped, e.g.
publisher = {Foo \& Bar}
