If these are traditional TeX fonts (i.e. Type1 fonts with TeX metrics), you
usually load them in the preamble by either loading a specific package, e.g.
\usepackage{xagaramon}
or by redefining the shapes, e.g.
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pmnj}
The correct procedure for a given font is usually described in the font's
documentation.
In LyX's font dialog, set the font to Default (although any other choice
won't harm either).

Re: Find and Replace math
Hi Tommaso,
Thanks for your mail, and for the time you spent writing it!
LyX is really a good tool for me, especially because I have
horrible/unorganized writing.
So, I actually work-out all the math directly with LyX.
What I liked about your video was that I could find and replace math.
Sometimes/many times, I change my mind and decide to call a parameter with a
different name.
But LyX 1.6 doesn't seem to be able (yet) to do it.
I have no problems with actual text, just the math.
Is it true, like others on the forum had said, that this feature will be
incorporated into LyX 2 ver? I hope so.
This is the main reason why I need to export, then find and replace.
So, thanks for your mail,
Regards, Erez

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,

Re: Find and Replace math
I must admit that I haven't followed this thread much, so take this
for what it's worth.
When doing a find/replace on math entries, I simply open the original
LyX document in a text editor and then do a search/replace as
appropriate. Then re-open in LyX. This works much better than export
to LaTeX and re-import to LyX since that often produces many ERT
boxes... However, using this approach, one should back up your
original LyX document in case you accidentally break it when editing
externally.

Unable to generate nomenclatures
Hi,
I am trying to include a nomenclature section but have had no
success. I followed the instructions in the UG by defining nomenclature
entries after keywords and inserting the Nomenclature list at the end of
the document. I did something similar for the index list. The index list
shows up whereas the nomenclature does not.
The LyX UG also has a nomenclature list insert command at the end
between bibliography 2 and Index but it shows no nomenclature, possibly
because no entries have been defined. So it doesn't seem to contain
examples.
Can someone point out if I am doing something wrong?
I am using LyX 1.6.0. I am attaching a very small test document where
I performed the above tests.
\usepackage{nomencl} does appear in my latex export of this file. I
do have the package nomencl.sty installed on my system.

How to add more beamer themes?

It's distribution came with diferent files, but I don't know where I have to put it to LyX recognize it. Can anybody help me to do that? The first step is to locate your local texmf tree. This moved between MiKTeX 2.6 and 2.7. If you're not sure where it is, run the MiKTeX Settings application and switch to the Roots tab. In 2.7, look for a path that doesn't have a description (such as C:\Local TeX Files). In 2.6, it was usually under ...\Application Data, I think. Once you've found it, navigate to it in Windows Explorer and create the path local root\tex\latex\beamer. Install your new theme(s) in there. Then, in General tab of the MiKTeX Settings app, click Refresh FNDB. Once that's done, you should be able to use the themes from LyX. Note that if LyX already knows you have beamer installed (the beamer layout is available), you do not need to reconfigure LyX when you add themes. You just need MiKTeX to know where to find them. /Paul

LyX v1.6.0 does not let me ignore latex errors/warnings and continue past them
hi all, When performing a DVI build, sometimes I get latex errors. On the command line, latex gives me the option of simply pressing Enter and attempting to continue and in many cases it gives me the desired result. In LyX v1.6.0 I get a message box with all the latex errors/warnings so it looks like LyX got the latex backend to continue past these errors but it does not update the DVI. So it seems like LyX is aborting the DVI update. Is there any way to instruct LyX to go ahead with the DVI build unless latex itself dies in the process? Manoj

Re: Find and Replace math
Hi Tommaso,
Thanks for your mail, and for the time you spent writing it!
LyX is really a good tool for me, especially because I have
horrible/unorganized writing.
So, I actually work-out all the math directly with LyX.
What I liked about your video was that I could find and replace math.
Sometimes/many times, I change my mind and decide to call a parameter with a
different name.
But LyX 1.6 doesn't seem to be able (yet) to do it.
I have no problems with actual text, just the math.
Is it true, like others on the forum had said, that this feature will be
incorporated into LyX 2 ver? I hope so.
This is the main reason why I need to export, then find and replace.
So, thanks for your mail,
Regards, Erez

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.

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 ...

Re: Find and Replace math
I must admit that I haven't followed this thread much, so take this
for what it's worth.
When doing a find/replace on math entries, I simply open the original
LyX document in a text editor and then do a search/replace as
appropriate. Then re-open in LyX. This works much better than export
to LaTeX and re-import to LyX since that often produces many ERT
boxes... However, using this approach, one should back up your
original LyX document in case you accidentally break it when editing
externally.

How to use dblfloatfix or stfloats style in LyX?
Dear LyX users, I would like to use LyX to typeset a 2 column document. I have found a latex style to put a float figure in the document, i.e. dblfloatfix or stfloats. But, I didn't find any documentation regarding to those styles/macros. Could anyone here share to me the experience to use those macros? Thank you very much for your kind attention and help.

Unable to generate nomenclatures
Hi,
I am trying to include a nomenclature section but have had no
success. I followed the instructions in the UG by defining nomenclature
entries after keywords and inserting the Nomenclature list at the end of
the document. I did something similar for the index list. The index list
shows up whereas the nomenclature does not.
The LyX UG also has a nomenclature list insert command at the end
between bibliography 2 and Index but it shows no nomenclature, possibly
because no entries have been defined. So it doesn't seem to contain
examples.
Can someone point out if I am doing something wrong?
I am using LyX 1.6.0. I am attaching a very small test document where
I performed the above tests.
\usepackage{nomencl} does appear in my latex export of this file. I
do have the package nomencl.sty installed on my system.

How to add more beamer themes?
Hi all I am using LyX 1.6 under Vista, and I wondering how can I add more beamer themes? I am really interested in the Trondheim theme. It's distribution came with diferent files, but I don't know where I have to put it to LyX recognize it. Can anybody help me to do that? -- CdeB

The bit about manpage.layout being borked still occurred, in his case, but it is harmless (unless you want to use LyX to write man pages, I suppose). /Paul

It's distribution came with diferent files, but I don't know where I have to put it to LyX recognize it. Can anybody help me to do that? The first step is to locate your local texmf tree. This moved between MiKTeX 2.6 and 2.7. If you're not sure where it is, run the MiKTeX Settings application and switch to the Roots tab. In 2.7, look for a path that doesn't have a description (such as C:\Local TeX Files). In 2.6, it was usually under ...\Application Data, I think. Once you've found it, navigate to it in Windows Explorer and create the path local root\tex\latex\beamer. Install your new theme(s) in there. Then, in General tab of the MiKTeX Settings app, click Refresh FNDB. Once that's done, you should be able to use the themes from LyX. Note that if LyX already knows you have beamer installed (the beamer layout is available), you do not need to reconfigure LyX when you add themes. You just need MiKTeX to know where to find them. /Paul

Feature request: Insert-TODO
Hi all, It would be nice to have an insert action where we insert a TODO item. Right now I am managing with Insert-Note-Lyx Note but there is no way to view just the TODO notes in the outline list-box.

LyX v1.6.0 does not let me ignore latex errors/warnings and continue past them
hi all, When performing a DVI build, sometimes I get latex errors. On the command line, latex gives me the option of simply pressing Enter and attempting to continue and in many cases it gives me the desired result. In LyX v1.6.0 I get a message box with all the latex errors/warnings so it looks like LyX got the latex backend to continue past these errors but it does not update the DVI. So it seems like LyX is aborting the DVI update. Is there any way to instruct LyX to go ahead with the DVI build unless latex itself dies in the process? Manoj

Let Lyx support Xetex, especially for international users
I found a way to let Lyx support Xetex. Note: The method is for windows user Firstly: close Lyx if it runs. secondly: Find the file C:\Program Files\LyX16\Resources\lyxrc.dist and Add the two lines at the end of this file. \format pdf4 pdf PDF (xelatex) document,vector \converter pdflatex pdf4 xelatex $$i latex Then, reopen Lyx, you will see a menu item view-pdf(xetex). thirdly: Open the file C:\Program Files\LyX16\Resources\ui\stdtoolbars.inc Find the text string: Toolbar view/update View/Update, and add three lines below this string. Separator Item View PDF (xelatex) buffer-view pdf4 Item Update PDF (xelatex) buffer-update pdf4 Then, reopen Lyx, you will see there are extra buttons support for compiling using Xetex.

weird \mathrm error
hi all I'm getting this strange \mathrm allowed only in math mode when my appendix chapters contain equation arrays.

If these are "traditional" TeX fonts (i.e. Type1 fonts with TeX metrics), you
usually load them in the preamble by either loading a specific package, e.g.
\usepackage{xagaramon}
or by redefining the shapes, e.g.
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pmnj}
The correct procedure for a given font is usually described in the font's
documentation.
In LyX's font dialog, set the font to "Default" (although any other choice
won't harm either).

Here's something along this line. The module provides a new PDF-comment inset
that puts annotations into the PDF document.
It relies on this (not yet officially released) package:

Re: Find and Replace math
Hi Tommaso,
Thanks for your mail, and for the time you spent writing it!
LyX is really a good tool for me, especially because I have
horrible/unorganized writing.
So, I actually work-out all the math directly with LyX.
What I liked about your video was that I could "find and replace" math.
Sometimes/many times, I change my mind and decide to call a parameter with a
different name.
But LyX 1.6 doesn't seem to be able (yet) to do it.
I have no problems with actual text, just the math.
Is it true, like others on the forum had said, that this feature will be
incorporated into LyX 2 ver? I hope so.
This is the main reason why I need to export, then find and replace.
So, thanks for your mail,
Regards, Erez

Re: Find and Replace math
I must admit that I haven't followed this thread much, so take this
for what it's worth.
When doing a find/replace on math entries, I simply open the original
LyX document in a text editor and then do a search/replace as
appropriate. Then re-open in LyX. This works much better than export
to LaTeX and re-import to LyX since that often produces many ERT
boxes... However, using this approach, one should back up your
original LyX document in case you accidentally break it when editing
externally.

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,

How to use dblfloatfix or stfloats style in LyX?
Dear LyX users, I would like to use LyX to typeset a 2 column document. I have found a latex style to put a float figure in the document, i.e. dblfloatfix or stfloats. But, I didn't find any documentation regarding to those styles/macros. Could anyone here share to me the experience to use those macros? Thank you very much for your kind attention and help.

Unable to generate nomenclatures
Hi,
I am trying to include a nomenclature section but have had no
success. I followed the instructions in the UG by defining nomenclature
entries after keywords and inserting the Nomenclature list at the end of
the document. I did something similar for the index list. The index list
shows up whereas the nomenclature does not.
The LyX UG also has a nomenclature list insert command at the end
between bibliography 2 and Index but it shows no nomenclature, possibly
because no entries have been defined. So it doesn't seem to contain
examples.
Can someone point out if I am doing something wrong?
I am using LyX 1.6.0. I am attaching a very small test document where
I performed the above tests.
\usepackage{nomencl} does appear in my latex export of this file. I
do have the package nomencl.sty installed on my system.

How to add more beamer themes?
Hi all I am using LyX 1.6 under Vista, and I wondering how can I add more beamer themes? I am really interested in the Trondheim theme. It's distribution came with diferent files, but I don't know where I have to put it to LyX recognize it. Can anybody help me to do that? -- CdeB

D Martens wrote: LyX configure does not see LaTeX2e. Ideas? Actually, I think it does see it: note the lines checking for a Latex2e program... +checking for "latex"... yes Is the problem that you have no text classes available? If so, someone else ran into this recently. We couldn't figure out what the problem was, but he uninstalled/reinstalled both LyX 1.6.0 and MiKTeX 2.7, and that did the trick. The bit about manpage.layout being borked still occurred, in his case, but it is harmless (unless you want to use LyX to write man pages, I suppose). /Paul

It's distribution came with diferent files, but I don't know where I have to put it to LyX recognize it. Can anybody help me to do that? The first step is to locate your local texmf tree. This moved between MiKTeX 2.6 and 2.7. If you're not sure where it is, run the MiKTeX Settings application and switch to the Roots tab. In 2.7, look for a path that doesn't have a description (such as C:\Local TeX Files). In 2.6, it was usually under ...\Application Data, I think. Once you've found it, navigate to it in Windows Explorer and create the path \tex\latex\beamer. Install your new theme(s) in there. Then, in General tab of the MiKTeX Settings app, click Refresh FNDB. Once that's done, you should be able to use the themes from LyX. Note that if LyX already knows you have beamer installed (the beamer layout is available), you do not need to reconfigure LyX when you add themes. You just need MiKTeX to know where to find them. /Paul

That works great. Thanks a lot Paul. Bests -- CdeB

Feature request: Insert->TODO
Hi all, It would be nice to have an insert action where we insert a TODO item. Right now I am managing with Insert->Note->Lyx Note but there is no way to view just the TODO notes in the outline list-box. I am using LyX v1.6.0 One hack to get this working now would be start each TODO note with a "TODO" string and then to use the sort option on the outline listing. The suggested feature would however be a cleaner document management provision. Thanks, Manoj
LyX v1.6.0 does not let me ignore latex errors/warnings and continue past them
hi all, When performing a DVI build, sometimes I get latex errors. On the command line, latex gives me the option of simply pressing and attempting to continue and in many cases it gives me the desired result. In LyX v1.6.0 I get a message box with all the latex errors/warnings so it looks like LyX got the latex backend to continue past these errors but it does not update the DVI. So it seems like LyX is aborting the DVI update. Is there any way to instruct LyX to go ahead with the DVI build unless latex itself dies in the process? Manoj

Let Lyx support Xetex, especially for international users
I found a way to let Lyx support Xetex. Note: The method is for windows user Firstly: close Lyx if it runs. secondly: Find the file "C:\Program Files\LyX16\Resources\lyxrc.dist " and Add the two lines at the end of this file. \format "pdf4" "pdf" "PDF (xelatex)" "" "" "" "document,vector" \converter "pdflatex" "pdf4" "xelatex $$i" "latex" Then, reopen Lyx, you will see a menu item "view->pdf(xetex)". thirdly: Open the file "C:\Program Files\LyX16\Resources\ui\stdtoolbars.inc " Find the text string: Toolbar "view/update" "View/Update", and add three lines below this string. Separator Item "View PDF (xelatex)" "buffer-view pdf4" Item "Update PDF (xelatex)" "buffer-update pdf4" Then, reopen Lyx, you will see there are extra buttons support for compiling using Xetex.

weird \mathrm error
hi all I'm getting this strange "\mathrm allowed only in math mode" when my appendix chapters contain equation arrays. This is a latex error and also happens when I export to latex and run latex on the file. Would someone be familiar with cases when this comes up? I ran chktex on my latex file but I got only warnings, no errors. So I'm guessing a mismatched '$' is not the cause. Thanks, Manoj
