Yes, me. I had to hand in a revised version of a paper with changes clearly
marked and used LyX's change tracking.
It is caused by the strikethrough feature that does not work for citations
(and some other complicated structures).
There are three workarounds:
a) If you do not need to see the changes in the printout, just unmark
DocumentChanges [x] Show in output.
b) if you can live with just colouring deleted parts, re-define the
marker commands in the LaTeX preamble:
\renewcommand{\lyxdeleted}[3]{{\color{lyxdeleted}#3}}
c) if you really need the strikeout output, mark all citations and reject the
change - they will not be marked and printout and PDF export work.
Unfortunately, accepting all changes (later) means that you still have to
find and hand-delete the citations (and other offending stuff).
Expert-Tip: re-defining \lyxadded and \lyxdeleted, you can customize the
output of added/deleted parts. Look at the LaTeX source for details.

LyX presentation editing-
LyX does fairly well editing traditional article / book type documents, but I think it could be improved for presentations using beamer or powerdot. Maybe these things can be done currently from LyX: Single frame view. Now LyX continuously puts the text in slide after slide. When I hit PgDn I want to see the next slide with the title at the top and just the stuff for that slide, not the next. Slide sorter view. You often need to easily cut and paste sections of a talk or move slides around. Seeing all your slides rendered at 33% or 50% size where you can drag them around would be great. Currently, you have to be very careful to cut and past w whole slide due to the way LyX handles sections (losing frame type, changing text to some other type, etc) Animation editor. Beamer and powerdot require a goodly amount of ERT or hacks to get animations. There has to be a better way than ERT for this. Maybe just a special section type like Itemize (Animate)? Additional graphics overlay. Maybe you want to add a circle around something important. Or have text appear and an arrow to highlight something. You can do this with lots of ERT, but presentations for most people are not a coding exercise. Outline / section editing. The sectioning is great for beamer and powerdot to have organized presentations, but you get these odball section and subsection titles hanging out between frames. I have thought about trying to hack something together that would emulate this. Maybe crop the lyx file into individual slides per page and put each one in a tab, export each slide and convert to jpg for a slide sorter window, use that jpg for some simple graphics editor to help get code for drawing simple shapes or text or arrows at arbitrary positions? Am I nuts? I have used LyX for years and finally I think am starting to move to using it for presentations. I have templates for both beamer and powerdot working (but not eps movie animations, waiting on a animate fix). I can deal with limitations, but some of these things would make it a better package. Or maybe I should try out OO Impress? I am moving away from ppt since they still can't support eps properly and the new interface is horrendous.

It is caused by the strikethrough feature that does not work for citations
(and some other "complicated" structures).
There are three workarounds:
a) If you do not need to see the changes in the printout, just unmark
Document>Changes [x] Show in output.
b) if you can live with just colouring deleted parts, re-define the
marker commands in the LaTeX preamble:
\renewcommand{\lyxdeleted}[3]{{\color{lyxdeleted}#3}}
c) if you really need the strikeout output, mark all citations and reject the
change -> they will not be marked and printout and PDF export work.
Unfortunately, accepting all changes (later) means that you still have to
find and "hand-delete" the citations (and other offending stuff).
Expert-Tip: re-defining \lyxadded and \lyxdeleted, you can customize the
output of added/deleted parts. Look at the LaTeX source for details.

If updating fails (cannot help here), you can still: a) export your file from LyX 1.5.5 as LyX 1.4 (File>Export>LyX14) and use this on the eee. (You will have to do this with every PC -> eee transfer, as 1.5.5 will automatically convert any earlier format to its own. b) just update the LyX2LyX converter: Copy the files under LYXDIR/lyx2lyx/ from the 1.5.5 installation to LYXDIR/lyx2lyx on the eee. (Make a backup copy of the original content of the target directory first!) (LYXDIR is, where LyX stores its files, here on Debian it's /usr/share/lyx.) Now the "old" lyx will know about newer file versions. Hope this helps Günter
Re: change page order for "parts"
If I am not wrong, you get this for free when you use the book class (or a derived one) and you choose the "two-sided" option in Docuemnt Settings. assasukasse wrote: Hello i was wondering if is possible to tell LyX, to impaginate following this rule: the page bearing the Part I, Part II or similar, should be always the front side of a sheet, since at the moment i have "part" pages in the back side of the sheet as well (i am printing double side).

Is that possible? Thanks alot! Agostino

I think you will also need /lyx-1.5.5/lib/unicodesymbols. I have tarred all the files you need, and put them up at http://www.ucc.asn.au/~mccabedj/lyx2lyx.tar.gz (Since in general, it is best not to install software from people you don't know, It might be better to just copy the files from a lyx-1.5.5 install somewhere else.) -- John C.

LyX presentation editing-
LyX does fairly well editing traditional article / book type documents, but I think it could be improved for presentations using beamer or powerdot. Maybe these things can be done currently from LyX: Single frame view. Now LyX continuously puts the text in slide after slide. When I hit PgDn I want to see the next slide with the title at the top and just the stuff for that slide, not the next. Slide sorter view. You often need to easily cut and paste sections of a talk or move slides around. Seeing all your slides rendered at 33% or 50% size where you can drag them around would be great. Currently, you have to be very careful to cut and past w whole slide due to the way LyX handles sections (losing frame type, changing text to some other type, etc) Animation editor. Beamer and powerdot require a goodly amount of ERT or hacks to get animations. There has to be a better way than ERT for this. Maybe just a special section type like "Itemize (Animate)"? Additional graphics overlay. Maybe you want to add a circle around something important. Or have text appear and an arrow to highlight something. You can do this with lots of ERT, but presentations for most people are not a coding exercise. Outline / section editing. The sectioning is great for beamer and powerdot to have organized presentations, but you get these odball section and subsection titles hanging out between frames. I have thought about trying to hack something together that would emulate this. Maybe crop the lyx file into individual slides per page and put each one in a tab, export each slide and convert to jpg for a slide sorter window, use that jpg for some simple graphics editor to help get code for drawing simple shapes or text or arrows at arbitrary positions? Am I nuts? I have used LyX for years and finally I think am starting to move to using it for presentations. I have templates for both beamer and powerdot working (but not eps movie animations, waiting on a animate fix). I can deal with limitations, but some of these things would make it a better package. Or maybe I should try out OO Impress? I am moving away from ppt since they still can't support eps properly and the new interface is horrendous. All I really need is vector graphics, decent equations, simple animations and a decent editor. -- Ed Gatzke, Associate Professor Department of Chemical Engineering, University of South Carolina Swearingen Engineering Center, Office 3C19, Columbia, SC 29208 NOTE: On sabbatical in Germany until July, 2009

Customizing List of Figures
I am preparing a report using book(KOMA script) class.
After the Title page, I write
TOC (insert - list/TOC - Table of Contents)
List of Figures (insert -list/TOC - List of Figures)
also I put another list (List of Examples), by writing ERT
\renewcommand\listfigurename{List of Examples}
\listoffigures
In the chapter text, I write Example 1.1... Example 1.2...etc
by writing ERT
\setcounter{example}{1}
\subsection*{Example \arabic{chapter}.\arabic{example}}
\addcontentsline{lof}{subsection}{Example
arabic{chapter}.\arabic{example}}
\addtocounter{example}{1}
\subsection*{Example \arabic{chapter}.\arabic{example}}
\addcontentsline{lof}{subsection}{Example
arabic{chapter}.\arabic{example}}
But the result,..Example #.# always under List of Figures. Actually what
I want, Example #.# under the List of Examples.
I am just stuck, hoping LyX people suggest ideas.

replacing (footnote) insets with a separate panel
I was wondering if it was possible to replace insets with a separate panel. I write documents with lots of footnotes, and closing and opening insets makes the make the main editing window quite messy. For an idea of what I'm thinking of, use Word in "normal view" and then insert a footnote. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/replacing-%28footnote%29-insets-with-a-separate-panel-tp18221557p18221557.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: float caption label for tables
I have been struggling to do this and now I have found a little trick, I use
this simple ERT command (LyX 1.5.5 - Ubuntu 8.04) inside the float:Table
\renewcommand\tablename {Tab.}
it works as expected, and I do similar thing to change the name of float figure
\renewcommand\figurename {Pict.}
You will see the result after you view pdf/dvi/ps. The LyX editor displays the
original: Table, Figure.
Thx ... /Adi

Dear LyX users,
I need to change the caption label that LaTeX automatically supplies
for tables in floats. By default, the label is "Table". I want it to
read, say, "Tab." instead. I put
\renewcommand{\tablename}{Tab.}
into the preamble, but nothing happens--LyX compiles as before.
\renewcommand works in plain LaTeX--is there some sort of a conflict
in LyX? I wouldn't know where to start looking, because my grasp of
LaTeX is pretty basic.

Re: change page order for "parts"
In book(KOMA script), you can use Part environment, and page layout double-sided document (document-setting-page layout). The part will be printed (always) in odd/recto page, in front of the double-sided document. /Adi --- On Mon, 30/6/08, assasukasse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: assasukasse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: change page order for "parts" To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Received: Monday, 30 June, 2008, 10:53 PM Hello i was wondering if is possible to tell LyX, to impaginate following this rule: the page bearing the Part I, Part II or similar, should be always the front side of a sheet, since at the moment i have "part" pages in the back side of the sheet as well (i am printing double side).
