Re: file recovery

[humanengr]

Helge, Olivier -- thanks.

On my Mac (10.5.7), the backup preference doesn't seem to work. The 
~ file gets created at the first save and gets updated at 
subsequent saves to reflect the prior save.


The emergency file has appeared on each of the handful of crashes 
I've had the pleasure to witness.


The # files (i.e., filenames of the form #newfile1.lyx#) have 
appeared only a few times -- IIRC shortly after I create a new file 
(presumably at the first save) in lieu of the ~ file.


Does anyone know what role the # are supposed to play?

My impression after a quick test: The ~ files are made whenever you
save the document (File-Save) and is simply the previous version of 
the file. This has nothing to do with emergency files, it lets you 
recover if you make some mistake. For example, deleting some 
important text and then savequit.

Emergency files are files saved in case of a crash. LyX will look at 
the file dates and can propose you to load the emergency file (or 
the backup file) instead, if they are more recent. If you load the 
emergency file, as long as you don't save it above the old one, you 
have not lost anything and if it's corrupted, you can then try the 
backup file or the original file.


LyX does not touch your original file as long as you don't ask it 
to. I had one crash in 2000 because the X server had crashed, the 
emergency file had everything correct till the last key pressed 
before the crash.
I think I've had another crash since on Windows (probably an alpha 
or beta of 1.6 IIRC), and I think then again, the emergency file was 
fine.


So in fact, backups are more like to go back to an old version 
(well, undo can do that too). Or a second safety belt.

Latex error

[solvi . natland]

Hi

I'm using the 1.6.2 version of LyX for Windows.

I'm working on a large document, so I have made this masterdocument with a 
lot of child documents included.

I have no problems with runnig the child documents and get pdf's and it 
hasn't been a problem with the masterdocument until today. I keep getting 
the following errors in a pop-up window:

Error:  Missing $ inserted.
Description:\newblock 10.1007/10920527_

I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.

Description:I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.

Error:  Missing } inserted.
Description:I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.
(See the inserted text above.)
With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you
really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then
my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.

Error:  Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.
Description:I've deleted a group-closing symbol because it seems to be
spurious, as in `$x}$'. But perhaps the } is legitimate and
you forgot something else, as in `\hbox{$x}'. In such cases
the way to recover is to insert both the forgotten and the
deleted material, e.g., by typing `I$}'.

I cannot for the best of me figure out where the error is in the document. 
Can someone please help me??

Put this in the preamble:

From then on, you have dots in the chapter entries too. Of course you

RE: Latex error

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi Sølvi,

Sadly these things happen and they are also sadly difficult to
find where it goes wrong, when you have complex documents these
things are more likely to happen. Even if I do not know what have
gone wrong it is likely that an environment is not properly ended.
As an example you might have included one of your child-documents
as a title-environment instead of standard-environment. But there are
many possibilities.

You know your child documents work. Start a new Master-document and
add small pieces from your old master-document to you get the error.
I hope it then will be obvious whats wrong. If not try to make
a minimal sample (with the error) and post it to the list.

I'm going on a holiday now, (to Stavanger by coincidence ;)) but
there are many people that can help you on the list.

Endnotes that Contains the References

[Bruce Pourciau]

Fellow LyXers,

In a volume to which I am contributing, each article ends with a set  
of Notes in numerical order. When a note cites a reference for the  
first time, it gives the full bibliographic information (what would  
normally be given in the list of references). Ibid and loc cit are  
then used for later citations of that reference in the notes. There is  
no separate list of references, as all the bibliographic information  
is contained in the notes.


How does LyX/LaTeX handle this reference style? Do I have to type in  
the full bibliographic information for every work cited, at least the  
initial time it's cited, or is there there some automagic may of  
handling this? I use BibDesk to store the reference information.


Thanks.

It looks like you should be using biblatex, which you can find here:

The biblatex documentation is extensive and will explain what you need
to do to get full citations, ibid, and loc cit. (It comes with a

Consecutive theorems

New from local template (LyX 1.6.3)

[Paul A. Rubin]

Hi all,

File - New from Template opens a file chooser dialog pointing at 
LyXDir/Resources/templates.  To get to a template stored in 
UserDir/templates, I apparently have to navigate through the file 
system (which, in Windows, is a whole lot of clicking).  Similarly, to 
change the ui or bind file to a local version seems to require the same 
trip through the Ugly Forest.  IIRC, there used to be buttons to switch 
from the system ui/bind directories to the local ones.  (Don't recall if 
templates had the same type of button.)  Am I missing something here 
(specifically, an easy way to do this)?

Simple way to get TWO fonts

[J Worky]

I am new to this whole LyX/LaTeX thing, but I am loving it! I am
creating a book that looks pretty good in Palatino font, but I want to
spice it up a little. I would at least like to be able to have one font
for headings (sans serif) and one font for everything else (serif). I am
happy with the display font all being the same, I just want the printed
version to have two. I have read A Not So Short Guide to LaTeX and the
Customization manual for LyX. I have tried putting simple commands
into the document preamble, but I'm not sure what the class already has
defined so I don't know what to put in to have the spacing and
everything stay the same and just the font change. What is the simplest
route to get my two fonts in? 

Here's my system: 
Lightly powered COMPAQ
Ubuntu 9.04

Yes. Put a non-empty line inbetween. Its what I do :)

I put a line inbetween and either put a empty ERT in, or put an empty
note (Alt I-N-N) in to produce a non-empty line

Another trick I use is to insert a Branch. I have a branch called
All which I always leave enabled. Then, if I want to e.g. have a
enumerate environment within a proof, I insert a Branch All and put
the enumerate within the Branch. That said, for this purpose,
increasing the environment depth as suggested by Ignacio García seems
more convenient.

Yes, increase the nesting depth of the consecutive theorems

  
The other solution, probably preferable, is to use the Separator 
environment between the theorems. This does nothing but separate the 
environments, so that LyX will treat them as distinct.

The first question is what document class you are using. Many classes do 
use different fonts for the headings and body text, so you might just 
try switching from whatever you are using (book?) to something else, 
such as book (koma-script). One advantage to the koma-script styles is 
that they are extremely customizable. (This is also the main 
disadvantage to the koma-script styles. ;-) ) Have a look at the 
koma-script manual, which you will find in scrguien.pdf wherever your 
TeX docs are. On my system (Fedora), it's at 
/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/koma-script/scrguien.pdf.

These appear to be autosaves.

Also there is yet another type of file you can recover from. If you
have done a view DVI etc, there is also likely to be a .tex file
sitting somewhere in your tmp directory. You can then import that .tex
file back into LyX. This saved me from retyping a couple of paragraphs

Problems with svn and Vista

I have tried using File / Version Control / Register on files in 
directories that are already in svn (and also not).


But, it pops up:

Some problem occured while running the command:
'ci -q -t-(no initial description) mydoc.lyx'.

I don't even have an RCS port on this machine!

The documentation isn't very extensive - what do I need to do?

lyx doesn't split footnotes

[Jan David Hauck]

dear all,

I'm trying to format my MA thesis for publication and am stuck with a problem:
I can't get lyx/latex to split all of my footnotes.
It's not that no footnote gets split but a whole bunch of very large
footnotes (some more than 20 lines) just don't split at all and are
causing some half a page white space or ugly ragged bottoms or (if I
flexibilize the parskip command with plus and minus) huge spaces
between paragraphs.
I tried everything but it doesn't work. I have in the latex preamble:

\interfootnotelinepenalty=0
\flushbottom

One solution that worked more or less was to put widow- and orphanpenalty down
right now it's:
\widowpenalty=1
\clubpenalty=1

but even a value of 9000 would produce a whole bunch of unnecessary
widows (no orphans though) that could have easily been solved with
splitting footnotes. It seems that Lyx (or Latex) just doesn't like
split footnotes even with that penalty 0 and the widow 1.

Any help how I can oblige the program to split my footnotes??

Then I asked it to use one of the fonts I installed myself by adding the
following to my Preamble: 
  \usepackage{fontspec}
  \usepackage{xunicode}
  \usepackag{xltxtra}
  \setsansfont{A.D. MONO}

newbie questions - URLs in PDF, graphical diff

[Andrew Daviel]

I haven't used Lyx or LaTeX for some time, so things have changed, if I 
ever knew..


1)  If I create a document with blank style, or from the 
letter template, when I add a URL link it does not work, either in xdvi 
or PDF.


If I add the following preamble (stolen from the
UserGuide source) in Document/Settings, it works:
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf % if pdflatex
  \usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
  \hypersetup{ pdftitle = {Test}, pdfauthor = {My Name}, pdfsubject = {Example}}
\else % if dvi or ps is produced
  \usepackage[ps2pdf]{hyperref}
\fi

- figured this out on the fly while composing this message

Naively, I would expect links to work if I create them using the GUI and 
check generate hyperlink.


2) Is there a graphical diff utility - if a document is updated, either 
using Lyx version control, or externally using SVN, is there a way to 
generate graphical differences, e.g. mark up document in red/blue for 
added/deleted sections as in tkdiff ?


3) Is there an HTML output filter ? latex2html is too old and fails 
miserably on Lyx exported latex.


4) Is it possible to choose which PDF output filter to use on the command 
line ? lyx -e pdf uses dvips, which gives me Bad bounding box 
in Type 3 glyph in xpdf and does not create the PDF metadata (title, 
author etc - nice for search engines)


On Scientific Lunix 5.3 (=~ CENTOS =~ RHEL) I have
lyx-1.5.6
tetex-3.0-33
tetex-latex-3.0-33
tetex-xdvi-3.0-33
ghostscript-8.15.2
xpdf 3.02
acroread 9.1.0

Re: file recovery

[humanengr]

John -- yes, the # files appear to be autosaves. And thanks for the 
fallback DVI, etc., suggestion.


After testing, I see that:

emergency files are created if there is a crash.
~ files are archive backups of the last saved version. (These 
appear beginning with the second save.)
# are autosave backups; they get updated if the file changes 
before the backup interval (set in preferences) expires. These files 
are deleted by a save operation. So, if a # exists, it is more 
recent than a ~ file.


So, the time ordering of the files would be, beginning with most 
recent (and assuming they exist):

emergency files
# files
~ files

These appear to be autosaves.

Also there is yet another type of file you can recover from. If you
have done a view DVI etc, there is also likely to be a .tex file
sitting somewhere in your tmp directory. You can then import that .tex
file back into LyX. This saved me from retyping a couple of paragraphs
of math once.

Re: file recovery

[humanengr]

Helge, Olivier -- thanks.

On my Mac (10.5.7), the backup preference doesn't seem to work. The 
~ file gets created at the first save and gets updated at 
subsequent saves to reflect the prior save.


The emergency file has appeared on each of the handful of crashes 
I've had the pleasure to witness.


The # files (i.e., filenames of the form #newfile1.lyx#) have 
appeared only a few times -- IIRC shortly after I create a new file 
(presumably at the first save) in lieu of the ~ file.


Does anyone know what role the # are supposed to play?

My impression after a quick test: The ~ files are made whenever you
save the document (File-Save) and is simply the previous version of 
the file. This has nothing to do with emergency files, it lets you 
recover if you make some mistake. For example, deleting some 
important text and then savequit.

Backup (lyx~) files are the ones saved every N minutes by LyX, where

Emergency files are files saved in case of a crash. LyX will look at 
the file dates and can propose you to load the emergency file (or 
the backup file) instead, if they are more recent. If you load the 
emergency file, as long as you don't save it above the old one, you 
have not lost anything and if it's corrupted, you can then try the 
backup file or the original file.


LyX does not touch your original file as long as you don't ask it 
to. I had one crash in 2000 because the X server had crashed, the 
emergency file had everything correct till the last key pressed 
before the crash.
I think I've had another crash since on Windows (probably an alpha 
or beta of 1.6 IIRC), and I think then again, the emergency file was 
fine.


So in fact, backups are more like to go back to an old version 
(well, undo can do that too). Or a second safety belt.

Latex error

Hi

I'm using the 1.6.2 version of LyX for Windows.

I'm working on a large document, so I have made this masterdocument with a 
lot of child documents included.

I have no problems with runnig the child documents and get pdf's and it

the following errors in a pop-up window:

Error:  Missing $ inserted.

Error:  Missing } inserted.
Description:I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.
(See the inserted text above.)
With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you
really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then
my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.

Error:  Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.
Description:I've deleted a group-closing symbol because it seems to be
spurious, as in `$x}$'. But perhaps the } is legitimate and
you forgot something else, as in `\hbox{$x}'. In such cases
the way to recover is to insert both the forgotten and the
deleted material, e.g., by typing `I$}'.

I cannot for the best of me figure out where the error is in the document. 
Can someone please help me??

RE: Latex error

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi Sølvi,

Sadly these things happen and they are also sadly difficult to
find where it goes wrong, when you have complex documents these
things are more likely to happen. Even if I do not know what have
gone wrong it is likely that an environment is not properly ended.
As an example you might have included one of your child-documents
as a title-environment instead of standard-environment. But there are
many possibilities.

You know your child documents work. Start a new Master-document and
add small pieces from your old master-document to you get the error.
I hope it then will be obvious whats wrong. If not try to make
a minimal sample (with the error) and post it to the list.

I'm going on a holiday now, (to Stavanger by coincidence ;)) but
there are many people that can help you on the list.

Endnotes that Contains the References

[Bruce Pourciau]

Fellow LyXers,

In a volume to which I am contributing, each article ends with a set  
of Notes in numerical order. When a note cites a reference for the  
first time, it gives the full bibliographic information (what would  
normally be given in the list of references). Ibid and loc cit are  
then used for later citations of that reference in the notes. There is  
no separate list of references, as all the bibliographic information  
is contained in the notes.


How does LyX/LaTeX handle this reference style? Do I have to type in  
the full bibliographic information for every work cited, at least the  
initial time it's cited, or is there there some automagic may of  
handling this? I use BibDesk to store the reference information.

It looks like you should be using biblatex, which you can find here:

The biblatex documentation is extensive and will explain what you need

Consecutive theorems

New from local template (LyX 1.6.3)

Hi all,

File - New from Template opens a file chooser dialog pointing at 
LyXDir/Resources/templates.  To get to a template stored in 
UserDir/templates, I apparently have to navigate through the file 
system (which, in Windows, is a whole lot of clicking).  Similarly, to 
change the ui or bind file to a local version seems to require the same 
trip through the Ugly Forest.  IIRC, there used to be buttons to switch 
from the system ui/bind directories to the local ones.  (Don't recall if 
templates had the same type of button.)  Am I missing something here 
(specifically, an easy way to do this)?

Simple way to get TWO fonts

I am new to this whole LyX/LaTeX thing, but I am loving it! I am
creating a book that looks pretty good in Palatino font, but I want to
spice it up a little. I would at least like to be able to have one font
for headings (sans serif) and one font for everything else (serif). I am
happy with the display font all being the same, I just want the printed
version to have two. I have read A Not So Short Guide to LaTeX and the
Customization manual for LyX. I have tried putting simple commands
into the document preamble, but I'm not sure what the class already has
defined so I don't know what to put in to have the spacing and
everything stay the same and just the font change. What is the simplest
route to get my two fonts in?

Yes. Put a non-empty line inbetween. Its what I do :)

I put a line inbetween and either put a empty ERT in, or put an empty
note (Alt I-N-N) in to produce a non-empty line

Another trick I use is to insert a Branch. I have a branch called
All which I always leave enabled. Then, if I want to e.g. have a
enumerate environment within a proof, I insert a Branch All and put
the enumerate within the Branch. That said, for this purpose,
increasing the environment depth as suggested by Ignacio García seems
more convenient.

Yes, increase the nesting depth of the consecutive theorems

  
The other solution, probably preferable, is to use the Separator 
environment between the theorems. This does nothing but separate the

The first question is what document class you are using. Many classes do 
use different fonts for the headings and body text, so you might just 
try switching from whatever you are using (book?) to something else, 
such as book (koma-script). One advantage to the koma-script styles is 
that they are extremely customizable. (This is also the main 
disadvantage to the koma-script styles. ;-) ) Have a look at the 
koma-script manual, which you will find in scrguien.pdf wherever your 
TeX docs are. On my system (Fedora), it's at 
/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/koma-script/scrguien.pdf.

lyx doesn't split footnotes

[Jan David Hauck]

dear all,

I'm trying to format my MA thesis for publication and am stuck with a problem:
I can't get lyx/latex to split all of my footnotes.
It's not that no footnote gets split but a whole bunch of very large
footnotes (some more than 20 lines) just don't split at all and are
causing some half a page white space or ugly ragged bottoms or (if I
flexibilize the parskip command with plus and minus) huge spaces
between paragraphs.
I tried everything but it doesn't work. I have in the latex preamble:

\interfootnotelinepenalty=0
\flushbottom

One solution that worked more or less was to put widow- and orphanpenalty down
right now it's:
\widowpenalty=1
\clubpenalty=1

but even a value of 9000 would produce a whole bunch of unnecessary
widows (no orphans though) that could have easily been solved with
splitting footnotes. It seems that Lyx (or Latex) just doesn't like
split footnotes even with that penalty 0 and the widow 1.

Any help how I can oblige the program to split my footnotes??

2009/7/2 Marcelo Acuña mv...@yahoo.com.ar:

 dear all,

 I'm trying to format my MA thesis for publication and am
 stuck with a problem:
 I can't get lyx/latex to split all of my footnotes.
 It's not that no footnote gets split but a whole bunch of
 very large
 footnotes (some more than 20 lines) just don't split at all
 and are
 causing some half a page white space or ugly ragged bottoms
 or (if I
 flexibilize the parskip command with plus and minus) huge
 spaces
 between paragraphs.
 I tried everything but it doesn't work. I have in the latex
 preamble:

 \interfootnotelinepenalty=0
 \flushbottom

 One solution that worked more or less was to put widow- and
 orphanpenalty down
 right now it's:
 \widowpenalty=1
 \clubpenalty=1

 but even a value of 9000 would produce a whole bunch of
 unnecessary
 widows (no orphans though) that could have easily been
 solved with
 splitting footnotes. It seems that Lyx (or Latex) just
 doesn't like
 split footnotes even with that penalty 0 and the widow
 1.

 Any help how I can oblige the program to split my
 footnotes??

 Thanks a lot

 jan


  I can get footnote splited with bigfoot package, but with this I have 
 pagination problems.
  Please, if you try with bigfoot, tell me how work.

Re: lyx doesn't split footnotes

[Jan David Hauck]

update:

bigfoot messed my cross references up
for example the cross reference that says on page 102 actually
points to a label which is to be found on page 100
pretty much always 2 pages difference

any help?




2009/7/2 Jan David Hauck jdh...@gmail.com:
 hi marcelo,
 thank you so much for your suggestion
 loading bigfoot indeed  helped a lot, the final output is much better
 I didn't know of that package before

 nevertheless I'm getting Latex Errors that haven't been there before
 for example:
 Paragraph ended before \...@subsection was complete.
 Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.
 and some similar errors

 right now I'm reading some documentation of the bigfoot package that I
 got on the internet,

 do you have any other suggestion how to get rid of the errors/ what
 could cause them?

 The first question is what document class you are using. 
 Many classes do use different fonts for the headings and

 book (koma-script). 

You're a lifesaver! The KOMA-Script really helped. I just changed from
book (more font sizes) to book (KOMA-Script) and it automatically
gave me serif fonts on the body and sans fonts for most of the headings.
Then I asked it to use one of the fonts I installed myself by adding the
following to my Preamble: 
  \usepackage{fontspec}

newbie questions - URLs in PDF, graphical diff

[Andrew Daviel]

I haven't used Lyx or LaTeX for some time, so things have changed, if I 
ever knew..


1)  If I create a document with blank style, or from the 
letter template, when I add a URL link it does not work, either in xdvi 
or PDF.


If I add the following preamble (stolen from the
UserGuide source) in Document/Settings, it works:
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf % if pdflatex
  \usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
  \hypersetup{ pdftitle = {Test}, pdfauthor = {My Name}, pdfsubject = {Example}}
\else % if dvi or ps is produced
  \usepackage[ps2pdf]{hyperref}
\fi

- figured this out on the fly while composing this message

Naively, I would expect links to work if I create them using the GUI and 
check generate hyperlink.


2) Is there a graphical diff utility - if a document is updated, either 
using Lyx version control, or externally using SVN, is there a way to 
generate graphical differences, e.g. mark up document in red/blue for 
added/deleted sections as in tkdiff ?


3) Is there an HTML output filter ? latex2html is too old and fails 
miserably on Lyx exported latex.


4) Is it possible to choose which PDF output filter to use on the command 
line ? lyx -e pdf uses dvips, which gives me Bad bounding box 
in Type 3 glyph in xpdf and does not create the PDF metadata (title, 
author etc - nice for search engines)


On Scientific Lunix 5.3 (=~ CENTOS =~ RHEL) I have
lyx-1.5.6
tetex-3.0-33
tetex-latex-3.0-33
tetex-xdvi-3.0-33
ghostscript-8.15.2
xpdf 3.02
acroread 9.1.0

Re: file recovery

[humanengr]

John -- yes, the # files appear to be autosaves. And thanks for the 
fallback DVI, etc., suggestion.


After testing, I see that:

emergency files are created if there is a crash.
~ files are archive backups of the last saved version. (These 
appear beginning with the second save.)
# are autosave backups; they get updated if the file changes 
before the backup interval (set in preferences) expires. These files 
are deleted by a save operation. So, if a # exists, it is more 
recent than a ~ file.


So, the time ordering of the files would be, beginning with most 
recent (and assuming they exist):

emergency files
# files
~ files

Also there is yet another type of file you can recover from. If you

Re: file recovery

[humanengr]

Helge, Olivier -- thanks.

On my Mac (10.5.7), the backup preference doesn't seem to work. The 
"~" file gets created at the first "save" and gets updated at 
subsequent saves to reflect the prior save.


The emergency file has appeared on each of the handful of crashes 
I've had the pleasure to witness.


The "#" files (i.e., filenames of the form "#newfile1.lyx#") have 
appeared only a few times -- IIRC shortly after I create a new file 
(presumably at the first save) in lieu of the "~" file.


Does anyone know what role the "#" are supposed to play?

Emergency files are files saved in case of a crash. LyX will look at 
the file dates and can propose you to load the emergency file (or 
the backup file) instead, if they are more recent. If you load the 
emergency file, as long as you don't save it above the old one, you 
have not lost anything and if it's corrupted, you can then try the 
backup file or the original file.


LyX does not touch your original file as long as you don't ask it 
to. I had one crash in 2000 because the X server had crashed, the 
emergency file had everything correct till the last key pressed 
before the crash.
I think I've had another crash since on Windows (probably an alpha 
or beta of 1.6 IIRC), and I think then again, the emergency file was 
fine.


So in fact, backups are more like to go back to an old version 
(well, undo can do that too). Or a second safety belt.

Hi Sølvi,

Sadly these things happen and they are also sadly difficult to
find where it goes wrong, when you have complex documents these
things are more likely to happen. Even if I do not know what have
gone wrong it is likely that an environment is not properly ended.
As an example you might have included one of your child-documents
as a title-environment instead of standard-environment. But there are
many possibilities.

You know your child documents work. Start a new Master-document and
add small pieces from your old master-document to you get the error.
I hope it then will be obvious whats wrong. If not try to make
a minimal sample (with the error) and post it to the list.

I'm going on a holiday now, (to Stavanger by coincidence ;)) but

Endnotes that Contains the References

[Bruce Pourciau]

Fellow LyXers,

In a volume to which I am contributing, each article ends with a set  
of "Notes" in numerical order. When a note cites a reference for the  
first time, it gives the full bibliographic information (what would  
normally be given in the list of references). Ibid and loc cit are  
then used for later citations of that reference in the notes. There is  
no separate list of references, as all the bibliographic information  
is contained in the notes.


How does LyX/LaTeX handle this reference style? Do I have to type in  
the full bibliographic information for every work cited, at least the  
initial time it's cited, or is there there some automagic may of  
handling this? I use BibDesk to store the reference information.

It looks like you should be using biblatex, which you can find here:

http://dante.ctan.org/indexes/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex/

The biblatex documentation is extensive and will explain what you need
to do to get full citations, ibid, and loc cit. (It comes with a
collection of styles, which may be all you need. Others have
contributed biblatex styles; you can find many of these here:

http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/

Although LyX doesn't natively support biblatex, you can get it working
by following instructions on this page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex

The only caution with all of this is that biblatex is a work in
progress, but many (including myself) have used it successfully.

Consecutive theorems

New from local template (LyX 1.6.3)

[Paul A. Rubin]

Hi all,

File -> New from Template opens a file chooser dialog pointing at 
/Resources/templates.  To get to a template stored in 
/templates, I apparently have to navigate through the file 
system (which, in Windows, is a whole lot of clicking).  Similarly, to 
change the ui or bind file to a local version seems to require the same 
trip through the Ugly Forest.  IIRC, there used to be buttons to switch 
from the system ui/bind directories to the local ones.  (Don't recall if 
templates had the same type of button.)  Am I missing something here 
(specifically, an easy way to do this)?


Thanks,

Simple way to get TWO fonts

[J Worky]

I am new to this whole LyX/LaTeX thing, but I am loving it! I am
creating a book that looks pretty good in Palatino font, but I want to
spice it up a little. I would at least like to be able to have one font
for headings (sans serif) and one font for everything else (serif). I am
happy with the display font all being the same, I just want the printed
version to have two. I have read "A Not So Short Guide to LaTeX" and the
"Customization" manual for LyX. I have tried putting simple commands
into the document preamble, but I'm not sure what the class already has
defined so I don't know what to put in to have the spacing and
everything stay the same and just the font change. What is the simplest
route to get my two fonts in? 

Here's my system: 
Lightly powered COMPAQ

Yes. Put a non-empty line inbetween. Its what I do :)

I put a line inbetween and either put a empty ERT in, or put an empty
note (Alt I-N-N) in to produce a "non-empty" line

Another trick I use is to insert a "Branch". I have a branch called
"All" which I always leave enabled. Then, if I want to e.g. have a
enumerate environment within a proof, I insert a "Branch All" and put
the enumerate within the Branch. That said, for this purpose,
increasing the environment depth as suggested by Ignacio García seems
more convenient.

Yes, increase the nesting depth of the consecutive theorems

  
The other solution, probably preferable, is to use the "Separator" 
environment between the theorems. This does nothing but separate the 
environments, so that LyX will treat them as distinct.

The first question is what document class you are using. Many classes do 
use different fonts for the headings and body text, so you might just 
try switching from whatever you are using (book?) to something else, 
such as book (koma-script). One advantage to the koma-script styles is 
that they are extremely customizable. (This is also the main 
disadvantage to the koma-script styles. ;-) ) Have a look at the 
koma-script manual, which you will find in scrguien.pdf wherever your 
TeX docs are. On my system (Fedora), it's at 
/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/koma-script/scrguien.pdf.

[James Mansion]

Hi,

I'm using lyx 1.6.2 on Vista 32 bit.

I have svn 1.6 installed (sliksvn release) and it works fine, with the 
programs running OK from the standard command prompt.


I have tried using File / Version Control / Register on files in 
directories that are already in svn (and also not).


But, it pops up:

Some problem occured while running the command:
'ci -q -t-"(no initial description)" "mydoc.lyx"'.

I don't even have an RCS port on this machine!

The documentation isn't very extensive - what do I need to do?

James

 titlesec package provides to you all options for fix fonts and formats for 
titles.
 See titlesec doc.

lyx doesn't split footnotes

[Jan David Hauck]

dear all,

I'm trying to format my MA thesis for publication and am stuck with a problem:
I can't get lyx/latex to split all of my footnotes.
It's not that no footnote gets split but a whole bunch of very large
footnotes (some more than 20 lines) just don't split at all and are
causing some half a page white space or ugly ragged bottoms or (if I
flexibilize the parskip command with plus and minus) huge spaces
between paragraphs.
I tried everything but it doesn't work. I have in the latex preamble:

\interfootnotelinepenalty=0
\flushbottom

One solution that worked more or less was to put widow- and orphanpenalty down
right now it's:
\widowpenalty=1
\clubpenalty=1

but even a value of 9000 would produce a whole bunch of unnecessary
widows (no orphans though) that could have easily been solved with
splitting footnotes. It seems that Lyx (or Latex) just doesn't like
split footnotes even with that penalty 0 and the widow 1.

Any help how I can oblige the program to split my footnotes??

Thanks a lot

jan

Re: lyx doesn't split footnotes

[Jan David Hauck]

hi marcelo,
thank you so much for your suggestion
loading bigfoot indeed  helped a lot, the final output is much better
I didn't know of that package before

nevertheless I'm getting Latex Errors that haven't been there before
for example:
"Paragraph ended before \...@subsection was complete."
"Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup."
and some similar errors

right now I'm reading some documentation of the bigfoot package that I
got on the internet,

do you have any other suggestion how to get rid of the errors/ what
could cause them?

Re: lyx doesn't split footnotes

[Jan David Hauck]

update:

bigfoot messed my cross references up
for example the cross reference that says "on page 102" actually
points to a label which is to be found on page 100
pretty much always 2 pages difference

any help?

You're a lifesaver! The KOMA-Script really helped. I just changed from
"book (more font sizes)" to "book (KOMA-Script)" and it automatically
gave me serif fonts on the body and sans fonts for most of the headings.
Then I asked it to use one of the fonts I installed myself by adding the
following to my Preamble: 
  \usepackage{fontspec}
  \usepackage{xunicode}
  \usepackag{xltxtra}
  \setsansfont{A.D. MONO}
and it actually did it! I'm so excited! Thanks for all your help, I'm
sure I'll have more questions later on..

newbie questions - URLs in PDF, graphical diff

[Andrew Daviel]

I haven't used Lyx or LaTeX for some time, so things have changed, if I 
ever knew..


1)  If I create a document with blank style, or from the 
letter template, when I add a URL link it does not work, either in xdvi 
or PDF.


If I add the following preamble (stolen from the
UserGuide source) in Document/Settings, it works:
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf % if pdflatex
  \usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
  \hypersetup{ pdftitle = {Test}, pdfauthor = {My Name}, pdfsubject = {Example}}
\else % if dvi or ps is produced
  \usepackage[ps2pdf]{hyperref}
\fi

- figured this out on the fly while composing this message

Naively, I would expect links to work if I create them using the GUI and 
check "generate hyperlink".


2) Is there a graphical "diff" utility - if a document is updated, either 
using Lyx version control, or externally using SVN, is there a way to 
generate graphical differences, e.g. mark up document in red/blue for 
added/deleted sections as in tkdiff ?


3) Is there an HTML output filter ? latex2html is too old and fails 
miserably on Lyx exported latex.


4) Is it possible to choose which PDF output filter to use on the command 
line ? "lyx -e pdf" uses dvips, which gives me "Bad bounding box 
in Type 3 glyph" in xpdf and does not create the PDF metadata (title, 
author etc - nice for search engines)


On Scientific Lunix 5.3 (=~ CENTOS =~ RHEL) I have
lyx-1.5.6
tetex-3.0-33
tetex-latex-3.0-33
tetex-xdvi-3.0-33
ghostscript-8.15.2
xpdf 3.02
acroread 9.1.0

Re: file recovery

[humanengr]

John -- yes, the "#" files appear to be autosaves. And thanks for the 
fallback DVI, etc., suggestion.


After testing, I see that:

"emergency" files are created if there is a crash.
"~" files are "archive" backups of the last "saved" version. (These 
appear beginning with the second "save".)
"#" are "autosave" backups; they get updated if the file changes 
before the backup interval (set in preferences) expires. These files 
are deleted by a "save" operation. So, if a "#" exists, it is more 
recent than a "~" file.


So, the time ordering of the files would be, beginning with most 
recent (and assuming they exist):

"emergency" files
"#" files
"~" files

These appear to be autosaves.

Also there is yet another type of file you can recover from. If you
have done a view DVI etc, there is also likely to be a .tex file
sitting somewhere in your tmp directory. You can then import that .tex
file back into LyX. This saved me from retyping a couple of paragraphs
of math once.

See section 6.2.4.1 of the Additional Features manual.  The Register 
menu option appears only if the document is not already under version 
control.  In order to register it with Subversion, though, the 
*directory* in which it sits needs to be under version control (and 
that needs to be done outside LyX).  So first use sliksvn (or 
something else) to check the directory into a repository (or checkout 
files from a repository into the directory), then try again.
That is exactly what I thought I'd tried. :-(  Stupid error in that I 
started with the sandpit area and added it, but it needed a checkout to 
make it into a workspace.  Doh!
