LaTeX has come a long way and today the basic usage of LaTeX starts with the
choice of the document class. At least two packages are very powerful and
very configurable: Memoir and KOMA-Script. Within these classes you can
change practically everything you want. For other classes (the regular ones)

I for my part would not recommend using them. Use Memoir or KOMA instead and
check their manuals to make changes. Quite a few typical changes can be done
very easily by mouse-click in LyX’ document settings dialogue. If you need
help with theses classes simply ask on the list.

How can I do this?


Hi!

I am writing a thesis and I need to include some articles verbatim, that is, with the format and style they where originally published. 
Using child documents requires files to have the same style. So how can I do, if it is possible, what I want to do?

Re: LyX and Scientific Word/Workplace

2008-05-29 Thread Ken

Hi all,

I wanted to follow up this thread in case anyone else has the same issue.  The
temporary solution I have found is to:
(1) in LyX, do File  Export  LaTeX (plain)
(2) in SWP, do File  Import Contents

This appears to import the LaTeX code within the begin/end{document}.  

This seems to work for a document with text, mathematical equations, and floats
but it does NOT like tables.  When the document has a table SWP utilizes 100% of
the CPU and the memory usage climbs continuously.

I'll update this thread if/when I discover more.

Re: Thesis first pages

I've also checked the Lyx log in my tmp folder, and fould that it says
LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references..


This is not entirely surprising.  The LaTeX/BibTeX combination requires 
multiple passes.  On the first LaTeX pass, an auxiliary file is 
generated with information about required citations.  BibTeX uses that 
file and the .bib bibliography file to create a file of stuff to insert 
in the document (.bbl).  The initial LaTeX pass flags all references as 
undefined.  On the second LaTeX pass, it uses the .bbl file to fix 
things up.


I'm not sure if this will be helpful, but I've included both the exported
.tex file, the tmp .log file, and the PDF output as an attachment here.

Please note that I have changed nothing in my setup of Lyx since changing to
Ubuntu 8.04. I've had pretty much the same document settings (usually at
Natbib, but sometimes Jurabib), and usually the same bst files (usually the
ones included in Lyx, such as naturemag or author-date).


Between the last time you successfully used the JabRef file and now, did 
you edit anything in the JabRef (.bib) file?  Frequently something gets 
broken in a .bib file -- either a syntactically incorrect entry is 
produced, or a character from an encoding that does not match the 
document is inserted -- and the sequence above breaks down.

 How difficult would it be to support unicode in maths?

 In 1.5 forget about it. In 1.6 that would require a lot of work I

 This wasn't any generic unicode character, it was a delta which is

 was in unicode rather than spelled out \delta. 

Support for individuall unicode characters in math can be achieved easily
with lines like

% centered dot
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{00B7}{\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi}

in the LaTeX preamble (from Herbert Voss' de_math.lyx tips)
without any change to the LyX code.

 A simple table with unicode characters and their equivalent
 math commands (\alpha, \beta, and so on) could translate any
 non-ascii the users somehow manages to bring into mathed.

As with all common LaTeX problems, there should be a package providing
this kind of table.

And indeed, the package ucs comes with the option mathletters
which enables the use of unicode greek letters in the document replacing
them with greek symbols from the math alphabet (not recommended for
typesetting Greek text, though).

Unfortunately, with \usepackage[mathletters]{ucs}, the above definition
of the centered dot is lost and $5·4=20$ is printed as 5Δ4=20 :-(

There has also been discussion on this topic on the latex3 list
http://osdir.com/ml/tex.latex.latex3/2003-01/msg00048.html
and there is a package inputenx on CTAN with a math option that
depends on the experimental package 
inpmath http://www.latex-project.org/code/experimental/inpmath.zip

 Things are more complicated when you speak in terms of _current_ LyX  
 code :-)

 Basically, mathed does not use unicode but sepecial 8-bit codepoints  
 reflecting their associate modern font symbol codepoints.

See the attached lyx file for a minimal example that works in my lyx
1.5.5.

If they are PDF files, and if you are producing PDF output of your

problem that I just can't get rid of.
I am very new to the LaTeX world, but feel comfortable working within the
LyX constraints.
I would like to, by entering in either some preamble code, or latex script

unsorted) at the end of each chapter, but also using citesort, where the

bibunits, but they all have failed miserably.

Re: Installation glitch

2008-05-29 Thread David Hewitt




 If so, why
 does that same script run like lightning in the LyX program window, but
 crawl in the installer?
 
 Assuming you have MikTeX set to auto-install, first time around (the 
 installer) the configuration script looks for eight zillion packages, 
 ten of which are already installed, and MikTeX downloads the other 8 
 zillion minus ten (hence crawl).  Second time arouind (the LyX 
 window), all that junk is installed, and so the downloading is avoided 
 (hence run like lightning).
 
 On the other hand, if either you have MikTeX set to skip missing 
 packages or you have a complete MikTeX installation before you run the 
 LyX installer, then I have no idea what's up.
 

As always, thanks for the great help Paul.

Out of curiosity, I uninstalled and reinstalled to check this. At the MikTeX
installation, I chose NO for install packages on the fly. I don't think it
mattered. It still went through the list like last time, staying on some
entries for a good while. However, this time it did complete without
hanging.

Once finished, I went back to update the packages through MPM and now I
cannot do that. I get permission denied or access denied returns once
the packages download and extract and the FNDB is being updated. I'm not
sure why this occurs. BUT, I can go into settings in MikTeX, select new
packages, hit Apply and it will download and install. Then I can refresh the
FNDB manually and make the new formats and all works.

LyX is fine with all of this, but it seems like turning off the on-the-fly
installation is not obeyed by the LyXWinInstaller script on the first time
through during install.

I explored the /usr/share/texmf-texlive/bibtex/bst folder, which is where I

missing (the ones I had a problem with initially).

However, I'm perplexed as to why the .bst files included in the Lyx

Good question.  It's probably possible for Uwe's script to reset the

would do that.  It's one thing to say that certain packages are required 
for LyX to work, but LyX looks for a lot of inessential packages, and 
I'm not sure how much disk space (to say nothing of bandwidth) they eat up.


This is never an issue for me; I always have MikTeX installed and 
working before I install LyX, even on a new machine.  I like to fight my 
battles one at a time.  ;-)  So I don't have any direct experience 
consistent with what you're describing.


The other thing is that I'm still on MikTeX 2.6, whereas I imagine 
you're installing 2.7.  When 2.7 was first released, there were some

installation adventures.  Don't know if that's related to your

following commands. But I can't find their definition.
\hyphenpenalty=
\exhyphenpenalty=
\righthyphenmin=
\lefthyphenmin=
\emergencystretch=
\tolerance=
I don't want to completely turn off hyphenation just reduce the number of
hyphenation per page.  I don't want to leave just 2 or 3 letters on the
upper line and hyphenate.  Preferably just stretch spaces or justify such
line.

Thank you in advance for you help.

How can I do this?


Hi!

I am writing a thesis and I need to include some articles verbatim, that is, with the format and style they where originally published. 
Using child documents requires files to have the same style. So how can I do, if it is possible, what I want to do?

Re: LyX and Scientific Word/Workplace

2008-05-29 Thread Ken

Hi all,

I wanted to follow up this thread in case anyone else has the same issue.  The
temporary solution I have found is to:
(1) in LyX, do File  Export  LaTeX (plain)
(2) in SWP, do File  Import Contents

This appears to import the LaTeX code within the begin/end{document}.  

This seems to work for a document with text, mathematical equations, and floats
but it does NOT like tables.  When the document has a table SWP utilizes 100% of
the CPU and the memory usage climbs continuously.

I'll update this thread if/when I discover more.

Re: Thesis first pages

This is kind of task which is much easier to do by drawing than by

'pdflatex CONS6017-Essay.tex' again.


I've also checked the Lyx log in my tmp folder, and fould that it says
LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references..


This is not entirely surprising.  The LaTeX/BibTeX combination requires 
multiple passes.  On the first LaTeX pass, an auxiliary file is 
generated with information about required citations.  BibTeX uses that 
file and the .bib bibliography file to create a file of stuff to insert 
in the document (.bbl).  The initial LaTeX pass flags all references as 
undefined.  On the second LaTeX pass, it uses the .bbl file to fix 
things up.


I'm not sure if this will be helpful, but I've included both the exported
.tex file, the tmp .log file, and the PDF output as an attachment here.

Please note that I have changed nothing in my setup of Lyx since changing to
Ubuntu 8.04. I've had pretty much the same document settings (usually at
Natbib, but sometimes Jurabib), and usually the same bst files (usually the
ones included in Lyx, such as naturemag or author-date).


Between the last time you successfully used the JabRef file and now, did 
you edit anything in the JabRef (.bib) file?  Frequently something gets 
broken in a .bib file -- either a syntactically incorrect entry is 
produced, or a character from an encoding that does not match the 
document is inserted -- and the sequence above breaks down.

 How difficult would it be to support unicode in maths?

 In 1.5 forget about it. In 1.6 that would require a lot of work I

 This wasn't any generic unicode character, it was a delta which is

 was in unicode rather than spelled out \delta. 

Support for individuall unicode characters in math can be achieved easily
with lines like

% centered dot
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{00B7}{\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi}

in the LaTeX preamble (from Herbert Voss' de_math.lyx tips)
without any change to the LyX code.

 A simple table with unicode characters and their equivalent
 math commands (\alpha, \beta, and so on) could translate any
 non-ascii the users somehow manages to bring into mathed.

As with all common LaTeX problems, there should be a package providing
this kind of table.

And indeed, the package ucs comes with the option mathletters
which enables the use of unicode greek letters in the document replacing
them with greek symbols from the math alphabet (not recommended for
typesetting Greek text, though).

Unfortunately, with \usepackage[mathletters]{ucs}, the above definition
of the centered dot is lost and $5·4=20$ is printed as 5Δ4=20 :-(

There has also been discussion on this topic on the latex3 list
http://osdir.com/ml/tex.latex.latex3/2003-01/msg00048.html
and there is a package inputenx on CTAN with a math option that
depends on the experimental package 
inpmath http://www.latex-project.org/code/experimental/inpmath.zip

 Things are more complicated when you speak in terms of _current_ LyX  
 code :-)

 Basically, mathed does not use unicode but sepecial 8-bit codepoints  
 reflecting their associate modern font symbol codepoints.

See the attached lyx file for a minimal example that works in my lyx
1.5.5.

If they are PDF files, and if you are producing PDF output of your

Hi Lyx group,

I recently switched to Lyx to write my thesis and have a reference format
problem that I just can't get rid of.
I am very new to the LaTeX world, but feel comfortable working within the
LyX constraints.
I would like to, by entering in either some preamble code, or latex script
in the document, make an unsorted bibliography (bibtopic does not do
unsorted) at the end of each chapter, but also using citesort, where the
citations are reordered and then collapsed using hyphens.
I have trawled various forums, and tried a few suggestions based on
bibunits, but they all have failed miserably.
I hope that someone up to the challenge, as doing it in Lyx is a much more
attractive option than dropping into a tex file.

Re: Installation glitch

2008-05-29 Thread David Hewitt




 If so, why
 does that same script run like lightning in the LyX program window, but
 crawl in the installer?
 
 Assuming you have MikTeX set to auto-install, first time around (the 
 installer) the configuration script looks for eight zillion packages, 
 ten of which are already installed, and MikTeX downloads the other 8 
 zillion minus ten (hence crawl).  Second time arouind (the LyX 
 window), all that junk is installed, and so the downloading is avoided 
 (hence run like lightning).
 
 On the other hand, if either you have MikTeX set to skip missing 
 packages or you have a complete MikTeX installation before you run the 
 LyX installer, then I have no idea what's up.
 

As always, thanks for the great help Paul.

Out of curiosity, I uninstalled and reinstalled to check this. At the MikTeX
installation, I chose NO for install packages on the fly. I don't think it
mattered. It still went through the list like last time, staying on some
entries for a good while. However, this time it did complete without
hanging.

Once finished, I went back to update the packages through MPM and now I
cannot do that. I get permission denied or access denied returns once
the packages download and extract and the FNDB is being updated. I'm not
sure why this occurs. BUT, I can go into settings in MikTeX, select new
packages, hit Apply and it will download and install. Then I can refresh the
FNDB manually and make the new formats and all works.

LyX is fine with all of this, but it seems like turning off the on-the-fly
installation is not obeyed by the LyXWinInstaller script on the first time
through during install.

Good question.  It's probably possible for Uwe's script to reset the

would do that.  It's one thing to say that certain packages are required 
for LyX to work, but LyX looks for a lot of inessential packages, and 
I'm not sure how much disk space (to say nothing of bandwidth) they eat up.


This is never an issue for me; I always have MikTeX installed and 
working before I install LyX, even on a new machine.  I like to fight my 
battles one at a time.  ;-)  So I don't have any direct experience 
consistent with what you're describing.


The other thing is that I'm still on MikTeX 2.6, whereas I imagine 
you're installing 2.7.  When 2.7 was first released, there were some

How reduce number of hyphenation per page

2008-05-29 Thread D . Zorig

Hi all,

I'm using LyX 1.5.5 on Windows XP.  My document has utf8 encoding and
Cyrillic font.  I'm getting about 10 hyphenation per page and doesn't look
pretty.  Unfortunately microtype package doesn't work with Cyrillic font.
So no protrusion and expansion available.
By googling, I got a understanding that hyphenation could be controlled with
following commands. But I can't find their definition.
\hyphenpenalty=
\exhyphenpenalty=
\righthyphenmin=
\lefthyphenmin=
\emergencystretch=
\tolerance=
I don't want to completely turn off hyphenation just reduce the number of
hyphenation per page.  I don't want to leave just 2 or 3 letters on the
upper line and hyphenate.  Preferably just stretch spaces or justify such
line.

Thank you in advance for you help.

LaTeX has come a long way and today the basic usage of LaTeX starts with the
choice of the document class. At least two packages are very powerful and
very configurable: Memoir and KOMA-Script. Within these classes you can
change practically everything you want. For other classes (the regular ones)
you need a lot of extra packages to change their look and behaviour. And
then there are very special classes such as AMS, IEEE and so on which are
often written for very special purposes such as specific journals. Unless
you are writing for such a journal providing its own document class or
unless you want your writings to look exactly like in one of these journals,
I for my part would not recommend using them. Use Memoir or KOMA instead and
check their manuals to make changes. Quite a few typical changes can be done
very easily by mouse-click in LyX’ document settings dialogue. If you need
help with theses classes simply ask on the list.

Hi, thanks for the help. I've exported it to LaTex (using pdflatex), but I

In a terminal, run 'pdflatex CONS6017-Essay.tex', which should produce a 
file with extension .aux.  Then run 'bibtex CONS6017-Essay', then 
'pdflatex CONS6017-Essay.tex' again.


I've also checked the Lyx log in my tmp folder, and fould that it says
"LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references.".


This is not entirely surprising.  The LaTeX/BibTeX combination requires 
multiple passes.  On the first LaTeX pass, an auxiliary file is 
generated with information about required citations.  BibTeX uses that 
file and the .bib bibliography file to create a file of stuff to insert 
in the document (.bbl).  The initial LaTeX pass flags all references as 
undefined.  On the second LaTeX pass, it uses the .bbl file to fix 
things up.


I'm not sure if this will be helpful, but I've included both the exported
.tex file, the tmp .log file, and the PDF output as an attachment here.

Please note that I have changed nothing in my setup of Lyx since changing to
Ubuntu 8.04. I've had pretty much the same document settings (usually at
Natbib, but sometimes Jurabib), and usually the same bst files (usually the
ones included in Lyx, such as naturemag or author-date).


Between the last time you successfully used the JabRef file and now, did 
you edit anything in the JabRef (.bib) file?  Frequently something gets 
broken in a .bib file -- either a syntactically incorrect entry is 
produced, or a character from an encoding that does not match the 
document is inserted -- and the sequence above breaks down.

Support for individuall unicode characters in math can be achieved easily
with lines like

% centered dot
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{00B7}{\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi}

in the LaTeX preamble (from Herbert Voss' "de_math.lyx" tips)
without any change to the LyX code.

As with all common LaTeX problems, there should be a package providing
this kind of table.

And indeed, the package ucs comes with the option "mathletters"
which enables the use of unicode greek letters in the document replacing
them with greek symbols from the math alphabet (not recommended for
typesetting Greek text, though).

Unfortunately, with \usepackage[mathletters]{ucs}, the above definition
of the centered dot is lost and $5·4=20$ is printed as 5Δ4=20 :-(

There has also been discussion on this topic on the latex3 list

and there is a package "inputenx" on CTAN with a "math" option that
depends on the experimental package 
"inpmath"

See the attached lyx file for a minimal example that works in my lyx
1.5.5.

If they are PDF files, and if you are producing PDF output of your

Hi Lyx group,
I am in dire need of some experienced user assistance.
I recently switched to Lyx to write my thesis and have a reference format
problem that I just can't get rid of.
I am very new to the LaTeX world, but feel comfortable working within the
LyX constraints.
I would like to, by entering in either some preamble code, or latex script
in the document, make an unsorted bibliography (bibtopic does not do
unsorted) at the end of each chapter, but also using citesort, where the
citations are reordered and then collapsed using hyphens.
I have trawled various forums, and tried a few suggestions based on
bibunits, but they all have failed miserably.
I hope that someone up to the challenge, as doing it in Lyx is a much more
attractive option than dropping into a tex file.
Thank you for your time, all help is greatly appreciated.

A possibility to get a footnote not connected to a part of the document is to 
use the fancyhdr package

In the preamble, write:

\lfoot{

As always, thanks for the great help Paul.

Out of curiosity, I uninstalled and reinstalled to check this. At the MikTeX
installation, I chose NO for install packages on the fly. I don't think it
mattered. It still went through the list like last time, staying on some
entries for a good while. However, this time it did complete without
hanging.

Once finished, I went back to update the packages through MPM and now I
cannot do that. I get "permission denied" or "access denied" returns once
the packages download and extract and the FNDB is being updated. I'm not
sure why this occurs. BUT, I can go into settings in MikTeX, select new
packages, hit Apply and it will download and install. Then I can refresh the
FNDB manually and make the new formats and all works.

LyX is fine with all of this, but it seems like turning off the on-the-fly
installation is not obeyed by the LyXWinInstaller script on the first time
through during install.

I did this, and the output in the terminal was as follows:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ bibtex CONS6017-Essay
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.5.6)
The top-level auxiliary file: CONS6017-Essay.aux
I couldn't open style file authordate1.bst
---line 3 of file CONS6017-Essay.aux
 : \bibstyle{authordate1
 :  }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I found no style file---while reading file CONS6017-Essay.aux
(There were 2 error messages)

I was using the .bst file authordate1, but I have tried using other .bst
files (naturemag, authordate2) with the same result.

Because the message said it was missing a style file, I tried using a
different style file, one that was not part of the default Lyx installation
(the same .bst files, authordate1, harvard, agsm). DOING THIS SOLVED THE
PROBLEM. 

I explored the /usr/share/texmf-texlive/bibtex/bst folder, which is where I
assume the .bst files are located upon installation. I noticed many were
missing (the ones I had a problem with initially). 

However, I'm perplexed as to why the .bst files included in the Lyx
installation have disappeared. How to I return it back to its "original"
state? Can I put the bst files I've downloaded from CTAN and elsewhere into
the usr/.../bst folder, and if so, under which subdirectory (ams, babelbib,
base, index, natbib)? Why have the Lyx bst files disappeared?
