Hi JMarc,
Thanks for your answer!
Is it you in youtube??? :-)
Actually, it's me, hope you could get at least a few words
out of what I say :-)
The easiest option at the moment to find and replace
would be to export as
latex into an editor, and find and replace y_{1t} into
x_{1t}. Then import
it again.
If you really want it, you can write a script that
exports to latex, invokes your favorite text editor,
then imports back to lyx. But LyX is not designed
for such purpose, as pointed out by core developers,
therefore the process is likely to fail because lyx cannot
manage to parse all of the latex stuff that you can ever
write, the tex2lyx process is lossy and
non-perfectly-reversable, and you can make a mistake (most
common is unmatched parenthesis or $ in maths) and then
all blows up.
This is the same rationale for which I like LyX how it is
now, it (theoretically / ideally) does not allow you to
make LaTeX mistakes, because everything you enter into LyX
is syntactically correct, except if you use (at your own
risk) ERT blocks.
If LyX is an editor for Latex, why don't we have a
special button that
enables us to switch from regular LyX view to a
programing editor view?
Use View-Source, I use it for didactic purposes, while
writing pure LaTeX with Emacs, when I can't remember how
you can do certain constructs.
Then, I would find and replace like I will do now in a
programming editor.
... and you would end up into the usual compilation errors
that you are so accustomed to (see above) ... I don't
think that editing a text file should imply being an
expert of any syntax but it's just a view of the world ...
Another side benefit would be that it actually helps us
to understand what
underlying latex commands were actually used in LyX,
which would bring me
back to the basics, closer to the LyX/Latex idea.
View-Source again, here
What do you say??
As of the current code status, it would not be too
difficult to incorporate a replace option, where you
could be able to enter the text to replace in yet another
LyX-enabled WorkArea: the matching text is already
selected, so it is just a matter of cutting it from the
document (I'm sure there is some LFUN for that), plus
pasting the replacement text like if we were pasting from
the clipboard (I'm sure there should be some LFUN for
doing almost this as well). As a quick hack, one could
temporarily copy the replacement text into the clipboard,
just to get fast to a proof of concept.
Actually, some people would love to redesign the entire
feature (including myself), but nobody has time, so maybe
I'll work to the quick hack for the replace, one of these
days, maybe while flying ...
... replacing with regexp-enabled for back-references may
be more complex to realise ...
My 2 cents,
T.

Feature request: parent-child document clash resolution
Hi all, In my work I frequently encounter Latex complaints that are due to different settings for parent and child documents (which I may have made when working on the child just to experiment). Fixing them can require a lot of going back and forth between the two documents to ensure both have identical Document settings esp. if the child document is a new one which is initialized to default settings. Would it be possible for future versions of LyX to override child-document settings with that of the parent when building the DVI/PDF etc.? The child document settings would be useful when that document is built-standalone but in the context of the parent they should be overridden. In the meantime, if a better overall solution to hierarchical document management exists, I'd love to be educated. Thanks in advance, Manoj

Hi JMarc,
Thanks for your answer!
Is it you in youtube??? :-)
Actually, it's me, hope you could get at least a few words

The easiest option at the moment to find and replace
would be to export as
latex into an editor, and find and replace y_{1t} into
x_{1t}. Then import
it again.
If you really want it, you can write a script that
exports to latex, invokes your favorite text editor,
then imports back to lyx. But LyX is not designed
for such purpose, as pointed out by core developers,
therefore the process is likely to fail because lyx cannot
manage to parse all of the latex stuff that you can ever
write, the tex2lyx process is lossy and
non-perfectly-reversable, and you can make a mistake (most
common is unmatched parenthesis or $ in maths) and then
all blows up.
This is the same rationale for which I like LyX how it is
now, it (theoretically / ideally) does not allow you to
make LaTeX mistakes, because everything you enter into LyX
is syntactically correct, except if you use (at your own
risk) ERT blocks.
If LyX is an editor for Latex, why don't we have a
special button that
enables us to switch from regular LyX view to a
programing editor view?
Use View-Source, I use it for didactic purposes, while
writing pure LaTeX with Emacs, when I can't remember how
you can do certain constructs.
Then, I would find and replace like I will do now in a
programming editor.
... and you would end up into the usual compilation errors
that you are so accustomed to (see above) ... I don't
think that editing a text file should imply being an
expert of any syntax but it's just a view of the world ...
Another side benefit would be that it actually helps us
to understand what
underlying latex commands were actually used in LyX,
which would bring me
back to the basics, closer to the LyX/Latex idea.
View-Source again, here
What do you say??
As of the current code status, it would not be too
difficult to incorporate a replace option, where you
could be able to enter the text to replace in yet another
LyX-enabled WorkArea: the matching text is already
selected, so it is just a matter of cutting it from the
document (I'm sure there is some LFUN for that), plus
pasting the replacement text like if we were pasting from
the clipboard (I'm sure there should be some LFUN for
doing almost this as well). As a quick hack, one could
temporarily copy the replacement text into the clipboard,
just to get fast to a proof of concept.
Actually, some people would love to redesign the entire
feature (including myself), but nobody has time, so maybe
I'll work to the quick hack for the replace, one of these
days, maybe while flying ...
... replacing with regexp-enabled for back-references may
be more complex to realise ...
My 2 cents,

Feature request: parent-child document clash resolution
Hi all, In my work I frequently encounter Latex complaints that are due to different settings for parent and child documents (which I may have made when working on the child just to experiment). Fixing them can require a lot of going back and forth between the two documents to ensure both have identical Document settings esp. if the child document is a new one which is initialized to default settings. Would it be possible for future versions of LyX to override child-document settings with that of the parent when building the DVI/PDF etc.? The child document settings would be useful when that document is built-standalone but in the context of the parent they should be overridden. In the meantime, if a better overall solution to hierarchical document management exists, I'd love to be educated. Thanks in advance, Manoj

The usual reason is that there's an error somewhere in your BibTeX file.
If BibTeX can't figure out the author and year for some entry, then it
reverts to numerical citations.
If you're not using BibTeX but are entering the references manually,
then the problem is that you can only use author-year citations if
you're using BibTeX.

I wonder if there is an issue with "Le Roux"? Try "LeRoux" and see if
that helps. If so, maybe you can use "Le~Roux" (non-breaking space) or
"{Le Roux}". Not sure.

Spellcheck error
To whom it may concern, I'm using LyX 1.6.0 on OS X 10.5.5. When I spell check, I like to add words to the dictionary. However, the words are never saved once I close the spellcheck window. How can one get them to save?

Showing LyX Notes in output
Hi - is there a way to show LyX Notes in the output? I want to highlight certain things (and make some annotations) that show up in the output to a collaborator who does not use LyX (older generation Word person) and am looking for a good way to do this.. the Note option seems to be what I want but it doesn't show up in the output dvi/pdf. Greyed Out does but it's a bit too passive... any ideas? Thanks!

Re: Showing LyX Notes in output
Right-click and then choose "Greyed Out". This will show up in the output. On Dec 5, 2008, at 12:06 PM, baseliner wrote: Hi - is there a way to show LyX Notes in the output?

Feature request: parent-child document clash resolution
Hi all, In my work I frequently encounter Latex complaints that are due to different settings for parent and child documents (which I may have made when working on the child just to experiment). Fixing them can require a lot of going back and forth between the two documents to ensure both have identical Document settings esp. if the child document is a new one which is initialized to default settings. Would it be possible for future versions of LyX to override child-document settings with that of the parent when building the DVI/PDF etc.? The child document settings would be useful when that document is built-standalone but in the context of the parent they should be overridden. In the meantime, if a better overall solution to hierarchical document management exists, I'd love to be educated. Thanks in advance, Manoj

James Sutherland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Right-click and then choose "Greyed Out". This will show up in the > output. Yeah, as I mentioned in my post, greyed out is too passive and one needs to really look for it to find it.. need something that stands out.. like the yellow background and black text which is how the Note appears in the LyX window. Maybe I should log a feature request on bugzilla..
Re: Feature request: parent-child document clash resolution
Interesting. I have not had a problem with settings in parent/child documents. When I compile the parent document, its settings trump any changes in the children. When compiling the child document alone, its settings are respected... I am currently running 1.6.

Look at the thread from a few days back titled
Changing the color of lyx notes in output
It tells you how to change the color of the grayed out note which seems to
achieve what you want, to quote:
