LyX and Sweave: reading data files
Hello there, I am trying to use Sweave and LyX for a project of my own, and have the following problem: my R code reads some data somevars-read.table(somevars.dat) and this data file is not available when Sweave is ran from the /tmp directory. I guess this problem is quite common... How do people solve it in general? I do not want to use an absolute path, since it makes the file non portable... JMarc

Zotero is great for organizing literature and bibliography
Hi All, I once asked for your help to connect bibtex with lyx, and like many of you I use Jabref. Lately, I've been using a new program called Zotero. Its a new, cute, FREE program: www.zotero.org, which is an add-on to firefox. I recommend watching there Ztour film for a quick overview. So the point is that my pdf literature folder, which is has been a mess, is much more organized. You can export Zotero as bibtex for lyx. etc... Hope this helps anyone Kind Regards, Erez -- Erez Yerushalmi PhD Student Warwick University, UK http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/economics/research/phds/2ndyear/yerushalmi

Import utf8 latex on MacOS
Hi all
I have a LaTeX file created with TexMate and saved with
UTF8(recommended)
When I import this file into Lyx, I get anything but cyrillic in my
text: http://images.dmitriid.com/misc/tex/lyx.png (top of screenshot
is what it shouldve looked like and bottom of the picture is what it
looks like in Lyx)
My settings for Lyx are:
Default language: English
Language package: \usepackage[english,russian]{babel}
TeX encoding: T2A
And for the document I tried everything: language Russian, default
encoding, utf8 - nothing works :(
I know that this issue has supposedly been fixed in 1.5.6, but here I
am on 1.5.6 and importing utf8-encoded LaTeX files doesn't work :(
I guess there's a misunderstanding between Texmate, MacOS and Lyx on
what utf8 actually means :) I hope there's somebody who has this
figured out. Anyone? Help?
Index Problem on XP
I can't get the LyX Index functionality to work. Am doing this in Windows XP. When I use pdflatex, the typeset doc displays as it should, but with no Index. I've inserted Index List as the last statement in my LyX doc. I figured out a .idx file is created and then used subsequently to create a .ind file. I searched for, and found the .idx file, but couldn't find the .ind file: C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\Local Settings\lyx_tmpdir1208a00992\lyx_tmpbuf0\newfile1.idx The lyx_tmpbuf0 directory also contained several other files, including newfile1.log. It contained a statement no newfile1.ind. I've saved all newfile1.* files associated with this issue: newfile1.lyx newfile1.aux newfile1.idx newfile1.ilg newfile1.log newfile1.pdf newfile1.tex newfile1.tex.dep-pdf Thanks, Jim E-mail message checked by Spyware Doctor (5.5.1.322) Database version: 5.10870e http://www.pctools.com/en/spyware-doctor/

citations in revtex4
Hello,
I am trying to write a paper with revtex4, and Lyx version 1.5.6 on
CentOS 5.2 Linux.
I am having trouble with citations. In fact the standard revtex4
template file, revtex4.lyx, has this problem. The citation appears in
the text like:
(author?) [1] -- where (author?) appears in bold.
I believe the error is because LyX is calling for the \citet{} command,
which is an (Author-year) style of citation. I have tried to change that
by tweaking options in Document-Settings-Bibliography, but that
doesn't seem to work either.
Any help would be appreciated.

Import utf8 latex on MacOS
Hi all
I have a LaTeX file created with TexMate and saved with
UTF8(recommended)
When I import this file into Lyx, I get anything but cyrillic in my
text: http://images.dmitriid.com/misc/tex/lyx.png (top of screenshot
is what it shouldve looked like and bottom of the picture is what it
looks like in Lyx)
My settings for Lyx are:
Default language: English
Language package: \usepackage[english,russian]{babel}
TeX encoding: T2A
And for the document I tried everything: language Russian, default
encoding, utf8 - nothing works :(
I know that this issue has supposedly been fixed in 1.5.6, but here I
am on 1.5.6 and importing utf8-encoded LaTeX files doesn't work :(
I guess there's a misunderstanding between Texmate, MacOS and Lyx on
what utf8 actually means :) I hope there's somebody who has this
figured out. Anyone? Help?
Index Problem on XP
I can't get the LyX Index functionality to work. Am doing this in Windows XP. When I use pdflatex, the typeset doc displays as it should, but with no Index. I've inserted Index List as the last statement in my LyX doc. I figured out a .idx file is created and then used subsequently to create a .ind file. I searched for, and found the .idx file, but couldn't find the .ind file: C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\Local Settings\lyx_tmpdir1208a00992\lyx_tmpbuf0\newfile1.idx The lyx_tmpbuf0 directory also contained several other files, including newfile1.log. It contained a statement no newfile1.ind. I've saved all newfile1.* files associated with this issue: newfile1.lyx newfile1.aux newfile1.idx newfile1.ilg newfile1.log newfile1.pdf newfile1.tex newfile1.tex.dep-pdf Thanks, Jim E-mail message checked by Spyware Doctor (5.5.1.322) Database version: 5.10870e http://www.pctools.com/en/spyware-doctor/

citations in revtex4
Hello,
I am trying to write a paper with revtex4, and Lyx version 1.5.6 on
CentOS 5.2 Linux.
I am having trouble with citations. In fact the standard revtex4
template file, revtex4.lyx, has this problem. The citation appears in
the text like:
(author?) [1] -- where (author?) appears in bold.
I believe the error is because LyX is calling for the \citet{} command,
which is an (Author-year) style of citation. I have tried to change that
by tweaking options in Document-Settings-Bibliography, but that
doesn't seem to work either.
Any help would be appreciated.

LyX and Sweave: reading data files
Hello there,
I am trying to use Sweave and LyX for a project of my own, and have the
following problem: my R code reads some data
somevars<-read.table("somevars.dat")
and this data file is not available when Sweave is ran from the /tmp
directory.
I guess this problem is quite common... How do people solve it in
general? I do not want to use an absolute path, since it makes the file
non portable...

Import utf8 latex on MacOS
Hi all
I have a LaTeX file created with TexMate and saved with
"UTF8(recommended)"
When I import this file into Lyx, I get anything but cyrillic in my
text: http://images.dmitriid.com/misc/tex/lyx.png (top of screenshot
is what it shouldve looked like and bottom of the picture is what it
looks like in Lyx)
My settings for Lyx are:
Default language: English
Language package: \usepackage[english,russian]{babel}
TeX encoding: T2A
And for the document I tried everything: language Russian, default
encoding, utf8 - nothing works :(
I know that this issue has supposedly been fixed in 1.5.6, but here I
am on 1.5.6 and importing utf8-encoded LaTeX files doesn't work :(
I guess there's a misunderstanding between Texmate, MacOS and Lyx on
what utf8 actually means :) I hope there's somebody who has this
figured out. Anyone? Help?
Index Problem on XP
I can't get the LyX Index functionality to work. Am doing this in Windows XP. When I use pdflatex, the typeset doc displays as it should, but with no Index. I've inserted Index List as the last statement in my LyX doc. I figured out a .idx file is created and then used subsequently to create a .ind file. I searched for, and found the .idx file, but couldn't find the .ind file: C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\Local Settings\lyx_tmpdir1208a00992\lyx_tmpbuf0\newfile1.idx The lyx_tmpbuf0 directory also contained several other files, including newfile1.log. It contained a statement "no newfile1.ind". I've saved all newfile1.* files associated with this issue: newfile1.lyx newfile1.aux newfile1.idx newfile1.ilg newfile1.log newfile1.pdf newfile1.tex newfile1.tex.dep-pdf Thanks, Jim E-mail message checked by Spyware Doctor (5.5.1.322) Database version: 5.10870e http://www.pctools.com/en/spyware-doctor/
Re: 1.6rc3 on Mac - no tabbed windows?
Is that magical appearance of Macs something I am supposed to put on my ToDo list? It would definitely help a lot. JMarc

citations in revtex4
Hello,
I am trying to write a paper with revtex4, and Lyx version 1.5.6 on
CentOS 5.2 Linux.
I am having trouble with citations. In fact the standard revtex4
template file, revtex4.lyx, has this problem. The citation appears in
the text like:
(author?) [1] -- where (author?) appears in bold.
I believe the error is because LyX is calling for the \citet{} command,
which is an (Author-year) style of citation. I have tried to change that
by tweaking options in Document->Settings->Bibliography, but that
doesn't seem to work either.
Any help would be appreciated.
NB
