Sweave and apastyle in Lyx
Dear Lyx users, I am wondering if some of you have successfully been able to use a combination of Sweave and Apastyle to produce documents. What I wish to do is to use the sweave function to conduct analyses with R which will then be included in a report formatted with apastyle. I am using Lyx version 1.5.3 on Ubuntu Hardy, and I can use both Sweave and apastyle independently without any problems. Best regards, Tormod Bøe
Re: algorithm2e in LyX 1.5.6: algorithm already defined
This seems to be a problem with version 1.5.6, since I have used algorithm2e with Lyx 1.5.5 and had no problem. Since I do not have
installed v1.5.6 (don't know why :-)), I cannot say if you can do anything to solve your problem. Take a look at Document Settings to
see if there is any option concerning algorithms. Unless anyone else gives a solution, I suggest that you file a bug in bugzilla.lyx.org.
A possible workaround is to install v 1.5.5. I think it should be able to
coexist with your current version.
Cheers,
Nicolás

I used the command line to translate LyX to LaTeX,
lyx --export latex WahbaSummary.lyx
and found the following code in the .tex file:
%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
%% Because html converters don't know tabularnewline
\providecommand{\tabularnewline}{\\}
\floatstyle{ruled}
\newfloat{algorithm}{tbp}{loa}

If I comment out the \newfloat and \floatname commands, then the error
goes away. Is there a way to get rid of them without manually editing
the .tex file?

First question: Are you using BibTeX? If you're entering your
bibliography using LyX's own bibliography environment, then you cannot
use author-year citations, for the simple reason that LaTeX has no way
of knowing which is the author and which is the year. You have to use
BibTeX if you want author-year citations.
If you are using BibTeX, then there is probably an error somewhere in
your BibTeX file, possibly a missing year for a certain entry. Anything
that throws off BibTeX's attempt to find years for all the entries will
force it back to numerical mode.

Unhappy Returns in Word
To save my elbow, I asked our secretary to type up a list in Word having this structure line1[soft return] line2[return] line3[soft return] line4[return] and so on (where a soft return on a mac is shift-return) hoping that when I copied and pasted into a LyX enumerate environment I would get 1. line1 line2 2. line3 line4 and so on.

You can reverse engineer deduce the codes in LyX by writing a tiny sample in LyX, then look at the resulting file in Vim. Everybody, This is one of many situations where it's vitally important to be able to edit a LyX file in a text editor, which is why it's necessary to make sure our new XML format is as text editor friendly as possible.

LyX... questions/ideas/wishes
Hi all! Don't know whether this is the correct place to drop ideas but I have some questions/ideas/wishes. I am not really a programmer so I don't know what it would take to implement these ideas. In addition I am very new to LyX. I started using it a couple of weeks ago. So my ideas might just be a beginners perception which changes in time by gaining more control and experience over the program. I wonder if it is a good idea to: * Put an explicit link to the Output size settings (Embedded Objects document) in the Users Guide which will save time to Beginners wondering why the figures exceed page margins in the output pdf. * I like LyX a lot. However, I feel that the necessity to use the Environment's drop down menu the whole time to assign an environment is time waisting and in the end it turns to become anti-productive especially if one works upon a big document. I had no doubt that there are key-shortcuts but it was not so easy to find them initially (...where is the Reference Manual whis is mentioned in the User's Guide, section 2.6 [1] ?). So, what about: (a) explain in the User's Guide [1] the way to assign common environments or link in a table where all this stuff is described (b) implement a Format Paintbrush tool (like in OpenOffice). Key shortcuts are the fastest way in my humble opinion to work with document processing tools. Yet, a Format Paintbrush tool is makes life easy: you just select the environment of your interest, scan your document and format let's say Section titles one by one. Kind regards, Nikos [1] In Section 2.6: Basic Key Bindings --- By the way: I read in this section, in the final sentence of the pre-last paragraph: ...so “M-p S-A” means Meta-p followed by a capital A. Was it meant to be ...followed by a Shift-A?

Loading Babel with parameter
Hi,
You know that LyX adds \usepackage{babel} to the end of the preamble of the tex

Hungarian one?

RC2: Importing from html - htmltolatex
Trying to use RC2 (on osx), and to import an existing document from html. Does RC2 install htmltolatex? If not, where should I install it so java -jar ... etc. from Lyx will find it and run properly? Should I go to Lyx/Preferences/FileHandling/Converters and edit the command line invocation of htmltolatex? Apologies if this question turns out to be more about osx or java, any best practice guidance appreciated. Thanks ... Sophie

LyX... questions/ideas/wishes
Hi all! Don't know whether this is the correct place to drop ideas but I have some questions/ideas/wishes. I am not really a programmer so I don't know what it would take to implement these ideas. In addition I am very new to LyX. I started using it a couple of weeks ago. So my ideas might just be a beginners perception which changes in time by gaining more control and experience over the program. I wonder if it is a good idea to: * Put an explicit link to the Output size settings (Embedded Objects document) in the Users Guide which will save time to Beginners wondering why the figures exceed page margins in the output pdf. * I like LyX a lot. However, I feel that the necessity to use the Environment's drop down menu the whole time to assign an environment is time waisting and in the end it turns to become anti-productive especially if one works upon a big document. I had no doubt that there are key-shortcuts but it was not so easy to find them initially (...where is the Reference Manual whis is mentioned in the User's Guide, section 2.6 [1] ?). So, what about: (a) explain in the User's Guide [1] the way to assign common environments or link in a table where all this stuff is described (b) implement a Format Paintbrush tool (like in OpenOffice). Key shortcuts are the fastest way in my humble opinion to work with document processing tools. Yet, a Format Paintbrush tool is makes life easy: you just select the environment of your interest, scan your document and format let's say Section titles one by one. Kind regards, Nikos [1] In Section 2.6: Basic Key Bindings --- By the way: I read in this section, in the final sentence of the pre-last paragraph: ...so “M-p S-A” means Meta-p followed by a capital A. Was it meant to be ...followed by a Shift-A?

Sweave and apastyle in Lyx
Dear Lyx users, I am wondering if some of you have successfully been able to use a combination of Sweave and Apastyle to produce documents. What I wish to do is to use the sweave function to conduct analyses with R which will then be included in a report formatted with apastyle. I am using Lyx version 1.5.3 on Ubuntu Hardy, and I can use both Sweave and apastyle independently without any problems. Best regards, Tormod Bøe
Re: algorithm2e in LyX 1.5.6: algorithm already defined
This seems to be a problem with version 1.5.6, since I have used algorithm2e with Lyx 1.5.5 and had no problem. Since I do not have
installed v1.5.6 (don't know why :-)), I cannot say if you can do anything to solve your problem. Take a look at Document Settings to
see if there is any option concerning algorithms. Unless anyone else gives a solution, I suggest that you file a bug in bugzilla.lyx.org.
A possible workaround is to install v 1.5.5. I think it should be able to
coexist with your current version.
Cheers,
Nicolás

Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
I used the command line to translate LyX to LaTeX,

in-text citation
Dear All,
I'm using LyX 1.5 to write a thesis. I'm trying to get my in-text citations to
look the way I specified it in the "LyX:citation" window under Formatting,

do it comes out as (number).
I use natbib Author-Year in Settings->Bibliography and tried to add
"\bibpunct{(}{)}{,}{a}{,}{,}" to my preamble and change the citation style to
different nat and apa styles, but nothing works.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

In lyx how can I do to put all the sections title, the headers "contents", "list of figures", "List of tables" in the middle of the page instead of having them on the left? The placement of these headers is controlled by the document class. Different document classes put them in different places, so experiment. If you want to control this more finely, then look into the titlesec LaTeX package. Or use one of the koma-script classes, and look at their documentation for how to customize. Richard

First question: Are you using BibTeX? If you're entering your
bibliography using LyX's own bibliography environment, then you cannot
use author-year citations, for the simple reason that LaTeX has no way
of knowing which is the author and which is the year. You have to use
BibTeX if you want author-year citations.
If you are using BibTeX, then there is probably an error somewhere in
your BibTeX file, possibly a missing year for a certain entry. Anything
that throws off BibTeX's attempt to find years for all the entries will
force it back to numerical mode.

Unhappy Returns in Word
To save my elbow, I asked our secretary to type up a list in Word having this structure line1[soft return] line2[return] line3[soft return] line4[return] and so on (where a soft return on a mac is shift-return) hoping that when I copied and pasted into a LyX enumerate environment I would get 1. line1 line2 2. line3 line4 and so on. I get different things depending on the kind of paste in LyX I choose, but I do not get what I want. Any help would be appreciated. Bruce

If you're going to use KOMA-Script you really should look through the
documentation, which is very good. However, the following seems to
work:

You can reverse engineer deduce the codes in LyX by writing a tiny sample in LyX, then look at the resulting file in Vim. Everybody, This is one of many situations where it's vitally important to be able to edit a LyX file in a text editor, which is why it's necessary to make sure our new XML format is as text editor friendly as possible.

Formatting in-text citations
Hi Lyx Users, I am compiling a large annotated reading list for my PhD comprehensive qualifying exams. I want to use lyx because of the flawless integration with my large BibTeX database. However, all of the BibTeX style files that I have used previously have abbreviated in-text citations. The behaviour I seek is, upon inserting a citation into an itemized environment, BibTeX/ LyX should place a fully fledged verbose bibliographic entry at the in-text citation location. Does anybody have ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks, Andrew
