White pages after some chapters using KOMA script book

[Richard Brown]

Hello again.

I'm struggling still, though I can now see some progress...
But my problem now is that I have an unwanted empty white page after
some, but not all, chapters. I can't see any logic as to why, either in
my input ms or in the output dvi. What should I be looking for, anfd how
can I change this?

Grateful as always for your time and input.

Is this to do with two page settings so that new chapters start on the right?

Macro with comma in argument

[Pascal Boehm]

Dear Lyx-Users!

I use the following macro:

\newcommand{\ket}[1]{|#1\rangle}

This should produce stuff like |F,mF with the argument being 'F,mF'

My problem is: entering the comma, Lyx leaves the argument-focus of \ket
This means, Lyx produces |F,mF (when I compile with pdfLatex)

Does andybody know what I can do?

Thank you  best regards
Pascal

At least in the Book class you can fix this in Document/Settings. Under
Class Options choose Custom and insert openany.

Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait

[Richard Brown]

Hello yet again.

I have a big table in my ms, which can only fit on the page if I put it
in landscape mode. How do I do this for just one page, leaving the rest
as portrait which is fine? I'm using Koma script Book and the table was
generated by using insert  float  table

Thanks again.

on equation numbering in an Appendix

[E. Kaplan]

I solved my problem by inserting ERT just before the appendix starts:

\renewcommand{\theequation}{A.\arabic{equation}}
\setcounter{equation}{0}


However, I would still like to do this with the features of Lyx, if 
possible.


Thanks,

in raw LaTeX there is a package pdflscape which allows you to set an
environment (\begin{landscape}..\end{landscape}. Content in between is
rotated, but headers and footers are left as per normal.
I have used this with a rotated supertabular which stetched over a few
pages. Don't know whether lyX can implement.  may need some ERT

You can insert figure floats, and simply not insert any graphics files into
them.



Or even better, you could put the figure in a branch (see Document -

That will cause latex errors when there is a cross reference to a

Don't get me wrong, LyX's internal spellchecker does a good job of

like there is a --mode=tex option, but I don't see anything about a
--mode=lyx option for it. sigh 


I wouldn't care but for those two little things I mentioned. And to be sure
lyx's spellchecker isn't alone among gui spellchecker routines about which
these two things drive me a little crazy.

The first (And most obvious)issue is the way the pop-up spellchecker dialog

Seems like this is fixed for the next version of LyX.

The second issue has to do with the fact that I'm a keyboard centric kind of
guy that really dislikes putting the keyboard down to wrestle with the
mouse. I know I can and do use alt+R to accept the default suggestion,
alt+I to ignore the intentionally misspelled word that I don't want added
to the dictionary. And I've even gotten used to the fact that it's alt+D
{which with the D being so close to the R on a qwerty keyboard has
caused more than a few erroneous additions to my ~/.aspell.en.pws file}
rather than a more intuitive alt+A to Add the word to the dictionary. 
But what I can't do is to select something other than the topmost default

spelling suggestion with the keyboard. Oh I can use tab to get to the
suggestion list, then the arrow key to highlight an alternate suggestion.
But I can't find a way to get the spellchecker to use the now highlighted
suggestion without dusting off that torture device that controls the mouse
pointer and clicking on the word in question. IE: If I misspell cycle as
cyclen the default suggestion shows up as cyclone. With the 2nd choice being
cycle. I can use the keyboard to hi-light cycle, But this doesn't change the
fact that the actual replacement field still says cyclone. So of course
if I press enter cyclen will become cyclone... I have only three choices to
get the spellchecker to change cyclen to cycle. 1) double click on cycle
from the list of suggestions. 2) single click on cycle to change the
replacement field to cycle allowing either alt+R or enter to make the
change. 3) tab my way instead to the replacement field and manually edit
cyclone into cycle... sigh

Re: Bibliography problem and [?] questionmarks

This is all a bit advanced for me. All I can do about encoding is change the 
way I export to bibtex from zotero and I choose utf8 for that, but I don't know 
were else I can change encoding in my lyx file.

I created a new lyx file, a new library in zotero, exported it in the same 
folder as y file, tried ti add citation and the same thing happens.

I then tried the terminal, although I don't know what it does actually... I got

 Hello,
 
 in my experience I have obtained the question marks ? in the PDF file 
 obtained from LyX, instead of regular citations, in these 2 cases:
 1) as Richard said: when LyX doesn't find the bibtex file, maybe because it 
 has been moved after inserting citations
 AND / OR
 2) when there is something wrong with the bibliographic style selected.
 
 Since weremoose says he was able to insert citations using the LyX commands, 
 the file path should be right (at least at the moment of inserting 
 citations). So one reason for the problem could be the second one. I would 
 suggest to try to select different bibliographic styles from the proper menu 
 and then save the file and compile in order to verify if this could be the 
 problem.

Humor me for a second...

If exactly one page is landscape, that page must involve special content that 
must remain together always. If that's the case, maybe make that content with 
other software and import a rotated pdf of it into your LyX document. From 
LyX's point of view it's just one more portrait page, but the reader turns the 
page sideways to view the content.

Re: floats and subfloats with longtables SOLVED

[Rob Oakes]

Dear Daniel, Liviu and Other LyX Users,

Daniel and Liviu, thank you very much for the recommendations and for the link. 
 I've been experimenting with the \afterpage package all morning, and I am very 
happy to report that it works famously.  I am able to exactly the type of 
behavior that I wanted by using the \afterpage{\clearpage LongTable} macro.

Because I've never been a huge fan of using ERT in LyX documents (at least no 
more than is necessary), I decided to create a custom inset that would 
automatically place long tables at the top of a new page, while maintaining the 
wrapping of the text.

The attached module is a first run at that inset.  I've been testing it on a 
couple of rather complicated documents, and it works exactly like I want it to. 
 I'm relatively sure that I'll come across bugs and other such stuff, so I'm 
sure that it will get posted to my website at some point.

I am forwarding it to the group in the hope that others will find it useful.

Cheers,

Rob Oakes

 Next to the list of available BibTeX styles, you will see a Browse
 button.  Just open up the file dialog and find the style in the local
 directory then try and recompile the document.

 If you continue to have problems, take a look at the formatting
 instructions provided with the author kit.  I haven't ever used this
 particular style and I'm not sure that I can give you much guidance on
 how to navigate its complexities.

 Cheers,

 Rob

  Hi Rob,
 
  Thanks a lot for your prompt and helpful respond!
 
  I have copied aaai.sty from the AuthorKit to
  ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/
  and followed the rest of your instructions, and things are working
  quite nicely.
 
  The only problem I have is with Bibliography. I have inserted it
  using:
  Insert - List / TOC - BibTeX Bibliography
 
  and then I used aaai-named as style which was the only style I found
  in the list with a mention of aaai.
 
  But this gives me a pop up window containing the following error:
 
  --- Latex Errors 
 
 
  }1982]{alchourrn_logic_1982}
 
  The control sequence at the end of the top line
 
  of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
 
  misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
 
  spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
 
  and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
 
  
 
  I noticed that the AAAI AuthorKit also contains a file named
  fixbib.sty.
  I don't know if that can help to fix the problem.
 
  Also thanks a lot for the nice LyX links!

  Mehrdad

  Hi Mehrdad ,
 
  The best way to get started is to install the LaTeX class and
  examples in your texmf folder (~/Library/texmf/tex/latex on
  Mac OS X, /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex on other Unix-like
  operating systems; if the folder doesn't exist, then create
  it).  When done, open up a terminal and type:
 
  sudo texhash
 
  When done, Open LyX and select Tools-Reconfigure.  Restart
  LyX.
 
  To use the aaai style, create a new document in LyX using the
  article document class.
 
  To the preamble of your document (Document-Settings-LaTeX
  preamble), add the following:
 
  \usepackage{aaai}
 
  \usepackage{times}
  \usepackage{helvet}
  \usepackage{courier}
 
  For the bibliography, choose Insert-LaTeX Bibliography and
  specify which BibTeX database you will be using.  To ensure
  that it uses the right style, find aaai from the available
  options and select it.  Press Ok.
 
  Then, start writing.  You're very lucky.  Aaai is implemented
  as a LaTeX package (rather than as a stand-alone document
  class), which means don't need to create your own custom
  layout. The \usepackage{aaai} command will ensure that the
  formatting complies with the publication specifications.
 
  If you want additional information, take a look at the
  formatting-instructions.tex file which came as part of the
  AuthorKit.  It has some good information on how to get
  started.  If you are going to be using LyX long-term, it will
  also help you become comfortable looking at LaTeX source.  You
  don't need to be a LaTeX guru to use LyX, but understanding
  the basics opens a whole new world of what you can accomplish.
 
  If you're interested, I've written a couple of articles that
  explore this more in-depth:
 
  Customizing LyX: Create an NIH Grant Proposal
  (http://www.oak-tree.us/blog/index.php/2009/11/02/custom-lyx-nih

Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait

[stephen's mailinglist account]

I have checked across in the thread on floats, sub-floats SOLVED.

If you surround your table with some ERT
\afterpage{\clearpage
...
table here
...
}
One can then choose the option to rotate the table from the dialogue
box.  This moves the table onto its own page, but this behaves as a
float because the text continues on the previous page, and onto the
page after the table.
Perhaps we are making it altogether too complicated because one could
just insert the float and rotate the whole table using the dialogue
box.
I think I couldn't see the wood for the trees because my test table
was a long table.

 You can insert figure floats, and simply not insert any graphics files into
 them.


 Or even better, you could put the figure in a branch (see Document -

 That will cause latex errors when there is a cross reference to a

Only if you put the complete figure-float in the branch. 
Should be solved by placing just the picture in the branch if you want

Macro with comma in argument

[Pascal Boehm]

Dear Lyx-Users!

I use the following macro:

\newcommand{\ket}[1]{|#1\rangle}

This should produce stuff like |F,mF with the argument being 'F,mF'

My problem is: entering the comma, Lyx leaves the argument-focus of \ket
This means, Lyx produces |F,mF (when I compile with pdfLatex)

Does andybody know what I can do?

I wouldn't care but for those two little things I mentioned. And to be sure
lyx's spellchecker isn't alone among gui spellchecker routines about which

The second issue has to do with the fact that I'm a keyboard centric kind of
guy that really dislikes putting the keyboard down to wrestle with the
mouse. I know I can and do use alt+R to accept the default suggestion,
alt+I to ignore the intentionally misspelled word that I don't want added
to the dictionary. And I've even gotten used to the fact that it's alt+D
{which with the D being so close to the R on a qwerty keyboard has
caused more than a few erroneous additions to my ~/.aspell.en.pws file}
rather than a more intuitive alt+A to Add the word to the dictionary. 
But what I can't do is to select something other than the topmost default

spelling suggestion with the keyboard. Oh I can use tab to get to the
suggestion list, then the arrow key to highlight an alternate suggestion.
But I can't find a way to get the spellchecker to use the now highlighted
suggestion without dusting off that torture device that controls the mouse
pointer and clicking on the word in question. IE: If I misspell cycle as
cyclen the default suggestion shows up as cyclone. With the 2nd choice being
cycle. I can use the keyboard to hi-light cycle, But this doesn't change the
fact that the actual replacement field still says cyclone. So of course
if I press enter cyclen will become cyclone... I have only three choices to
get the spellchecker to change cyclen to cycle. 1) double click on cycle
from the list of suggestions. 2) single click on cycle to change the
replacement field to cycle allowing either alt+R or enter to make the
change. 3) tab my way instead to the replacement field and manually edit
cyclone into cycle... sigh

 Hello,
 
 in my experience I have obtained the question marks ? in the PDF file 
 obtained from LyX, instead of regular citations, in these 2 cases:
 1) as Richard said: when LyX doesn't find the bibtex file, maybe because it 
 has been moved after inserting citations
 AND / OR
 2) when there is something wrong with the bibliographic style selected.
 
 Since weremoose says he was able to insert citations using the LyX commands, 
 the file path should be right (at least at the moment of inserting 
 citations). So one reason for the problem could be the second one. I would 
 suggest to try to select different bibliographic styles from the proper menu 
 and then save the file and compile in order to verify if this could be the 
 problem.

Humor me for a second...

If exactly one page is landscape, that page must involve special content that 
must remain together always. If that's the case, maybe make that content with 
other software and import a rotated pdf of it into your LyX document. From 
LyX's point of view it's just one more portrait page, but the reader turns the 
page sideways to view the content.

Dear Daniel, Liviu and Other LyX Users,

 I've been experimenting with the \afterpage package all morning, and I am very

Because I've never been a huge fan of using ERT in LyX documents (at least no

wrapping of the text.

The attached module is a first run at that inset.  I've been testing it on a 
couple of rather complicated documents, and it works exactly like I want it to. 
 I'm relatively sure that I'll come across bugs and other such stuff, so I'm 
sure that it will get posted to my website at some point.

I am forwarding it to the group in the hope that others will find it useful.

Cheers,

 a clean solution might be possible using the afterpage package. 
 Basically it provides the \afterpage{something} command, which 
 causes the expansion of something to be postponed until LaTeX has 
 shipped out the current page. If you insert your long table this way, 
 it should (theoretically) appear on the beginning of the next page 
 without interrupting the flow of text on the current page.

It seems that this should be possible. This document [1] describes the usage.

Hi Rob,

It's working! It is important to set the Document class to article (aaai)

be in the drop down list, but you can just manually type aaai there.

Thanks again for your helpful responses!

 Hi Mehrdad,

 If you can't get your LaTeX distribution to recognize the bibtex style,
 you can also use it locally.  Copy it to the same directory as your LyX
 document.  Then, open up LyX and the Bibliography dialog (the easiest
 way to do this is to click on the BibTeX bibliography in your
 document.

 Next to the list of available BibTeX styles, you will see a Browse

 directory then try and recompile the document.

 If you continue to have problems, take a look at the formatting
 instructions provided with the author kit.  I haven't ever used this
 particular style and I'm not sure that I can give you much guidance on
 how to navigate its complexities.

  The only problem I have is with Bibliography. I have inserted it

  in the list with a mention of aaai.
 
  But this gives me a pop up window containing the following error:

  I noticed that the AAAI AuthorKit also contains a file named

  Hi Mehrdad ,
 
  The best way to get started is to install the LaTeX class and
  examples in your texmf folder (~/Library/texmf/tex/latex on
  Mac OS X, /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex on other Unix-like
  operating systems; if the folder doesn't exist, then create
  it).  When done, open up a terminal and type:
 
  sudo texhash
 
  When done, Open LyX and select Tools-Reconfigure.  Restart
  LyX.
 
  To use the aaai style, create a new document in LyX using the
  article document class.
 
  To the preamble of your document (Document-Settings-LaTeX
  preamble), add the following:
 
  \usepackage{aaai}
 
  \usepackage{times}
  \usepackage{helvet}
  \usepackage{courier}
 
  For the bibliography, choose Insert-LaTeX Bibliography and
  specify which BibTeX database you will be using.  To ensure
  that it uses the right style, find aaai from the available
  options and select it.  Press Ok.
 
  Then, start writing.  You're very lucky.  Aaai is implemented
  as a LaTeX package (rather than as a stand-alone document
  class), which means don't need to create your own custom
  layout. The \usepackage{aaai} command will ensure that the
  formatting complies with the publication specifications.
 
  If you want additional information, take a look at the
  formatting-instructions.tex file which came as part of the
  AuthorKit.  It has some good information on how to get
  started.  If you are going to be using LyX long-term, it will
  also help you become comfortable looking at LaTeX source.  You
  don't need to be a LaTeX guru to use LyX, but understanding
  the basics opens a whole new world of what you can accomplish.
 
  If you're interested, I've written a couple of articles that
  explore this more in-depth:

Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait

[stephen's mailinglist account]

I have checked across in the thread on floats, sub-floats SOLVED.

If you surround your table with some ERT
\afterpage{\clearpage
...
table here
...
}
One can then choose the option to rotate the table from the dialogue
box.  This moves the table onto its own page, but this behaves as a
float because the text continues on the previous page, and onto the
page after the table.
Perhaps we are making it altogether too complicated because one could
just insert the float and rotate the whole table using the dialogue
box.
I think I couldn't see the wood for the trees because my test table
was a long table.

 You can insert figure floats, and simply not insert any graphics files into

 Or even better, you could put the figure in a branch (see Document -

 That will cause latex errors when there is a cross reference to a

Only if you put the complete figure-float in the branch. 
Should be solved by placing just the picture in the branch if you want

Macro with comma in argument

[Pascal Boehm]

Dear Lyx-Users!

I use the following macro:

\newcommand{\ket}[1]{|#1\rangle}

This should produce stuff like |F,mF> with the argument being 'F,mF'

My problem is: entering the comma, Lyx leaves the argument-focus of \ket
This means, Lyx produces |F>,mF (when I compile with pdfLatex)

Does andybody know what I can do?

Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait

[stephen's mailinglist account]

in raw LaTeX there is a package pdflscape which allows you to set an
environment (\begin{landscape}..\end{landscape}. Content in between is
rotated, but headers and footers are left as per normal.
I have used this with a rotated supertabular which stetched over a few
pages. Don't know whether lyX can implement.  may need some ERT

Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait

It work for a table I had in a Komascript book

in latex preamble insert \usepackage{pdflscape}
then use ERT (ctrl-l) before and after table to insert
\begin{landscape} and \end{landscape}repectively

Dear Lyx-Users!

I use the following macro:

My problem is: entering the comma, Lyx leaves the argument-focus of \ket
This means, Lyx produces |F>,mF (when I compile with pdfLatex)

Does andybody know what I can do?

You can insert figure floats, and simply not insert any graphics files into
them.



Or even better, you could put the figure in a branch (see Document ->

That will cause latex errors when there is a cross reference to a

Don't get me wrong, LyX's internal spellchecker does a good job of

like there is a --mode=tex option, but I don't see anything about a

I wouldn't care but for those two little things I mentioned. And to be sure
lyx's spellchecker isn't alone among gui spellchecker routines about which
these two things drive me a little crazy.

The first (And most obvious)issue is the way the pop-up spellchecker dialog

Seems like this is fixed for the next version of LyX.

The second issue has to do with the fact that I'm a keyboard centric kind of
guy that really dislikes putting the keyboard down to wrestle with the
mouse. I know I can and do use +R to accept the default suggestion,
+I to ignore the intentionally misspelled word that I don't want added
to the dictionary. And I've even gotten used to the fact that it's +D
{which with the "D" being so close to the "R" on a qwerty keyboard has
caused more than a few erroneous additions to my ~/.aspell.en.pws file}
rather than a more intuitive +A to Add the word to the dictionary. 
But what I can't do is to select something other than the topmost default

spelling suggestion with the keyboard. Oh I can use tab to get to the
suggestion list, then the arrow key to highlight an alternate suggestion.
But I can't find a way to get the spellchecker to use the now highlighted
suggestion without dusting off that torture device that controls the mouse
pointer and clicking on the word in question. IE: If I misspell cycle as
cyclen the default suggestion shows up as cyclone. With the 2nd choice being
cycle. I can use the keyboard to hi-light cycle, But this doesn't change the
fact that the actual "replacement" field still says cyclone. So of course
if I press enter cyclen will become cyclone... I have only three choices to
get the spellchecker to change cyclen to cycle. 1) double click on cycle
from the list of suggestions. 2) single click on cycle to change the
replacement field to cycle allowing either +R or  to make the
change. 3) tab my way instead to the replacement field and manually edit
cyclone into cycle...

Humor me for a second...

If exactly one page is landscape, that page must involve special content that 
must remain together always. If that's the case, maybe make that content with 
other software and import a rotated pdf of it into your LyX document. From 
LyX's point of view it's just one more portrait page, but the reader turns the 
page sideways to view the content.

SteveT,

  In my book there is one table that is wide but short. I set that one page
in landscape orientation while all other pages are in portrait orientation.
Worked just fine.

Re: floats and subfloats with longtables SOLVED

[Rob Oakes]

Dear Daniel, Liviu and Other LyX Users,

Daniel and Liviu, thank you very much for the recommendations and for the link. 
 I've been experimenting with the \afterpage package all morning, and I am very 
happy to report that it works famously.  I am able to exactly the type of 
behavior that I wanted by using the \afterpage{\clearpage LongTable} macro.

Because I've never been a huge fan of using ERT in LyX documents (at least no 
more than is necessary), I decided to create a custom inset that would 
automatically place long tables at the top of a new page, while maintaining the 
wrapping of the text.

The attached module is a first run at that inset.  I've been testing it on a 
couple of rather complicated documents, and it works exactly like I want it to. 
 I'm relatively sure that I'll come across bugs and other such stuff, so I'm 
sure that it will get posted to my website at some point.

I am forwarding it to the group in the hope that others will find it useful.

Cheers,

Rob Oakes

Hi Rob,

It's working! It is important to set the Document class to "article (aaai)"

Re: Making only one page landscape while the rest is portrait

[stephen's mailinglist account]

I have checked across in the thread on floats, sub-floats SOLVED.

If you surround your table with some ERT
\afterpage{\clearpage
...
table here
...
}
One can then choose the option to rotate the table from the dialogue
box.  This moves the table onto its own page, but this behaves as a
float because the text continues on the previous page, and onto the
page after the table.
Perhaps we are making it altogether too complicated because one could
just insert the float and rotate the whole table using the dialogue
box.
I think I couldn't see the wood for the trees because my test table
was a long table.

that seems to work very well thank you very much.  Float the long
table to the top of a page.  Table breaks and text continues after
table finishes on second page.

module can also be modified for putting longtables sideways on a page
change preamble to this
\usepackage{afterpage}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\newcommand{\longtablelandscapepage}[1]{%
\afterpage{\clearpage\begin{landscape} 
{#1}\end{landscape}}}

Can more than one inset layout be placed in a module? Or does this
(landscape longtable) have to be a second module?

Only if you put the complete figure-float in the branch. 
Should be solved by placing just the picture in the branch if you want
to have a cross-ref to the figure-float.

Any number of InsetLayouts can be placed in a module. You will want to  
make sure that you define a new macro, however.

Dear Daniel, Liviu and Other LyX Users,

Daniel and Liviu, thank you very much for the recommendations and  
for the link.  I've been experimenting with the \afterpage package  
all morning, and I am very happy to report that it works  
famously.  I am able to exactly the type of behavior that I wanted  
by using the \afterpage{\clearpage LongTable} macro.


Because I've never been a huge fan of using ERT in LyX documents  
(at least no more than is necessary), I decided to create a custom  
inset that would automatically place long tables at the top of a  
new page, while maintaining the wrapping of the text.


The attached module is a first run at that inset.  I've been  
testing it on a couple of rather complicated documents, and it  
works exactly like I want it to.  I'm relatively sure that I'll  
come across bugs and other such stuff, so I'm sure that it will  
get posted to my website at some point.


I am forwarding it to the group in the hope that others will find  
it useful.


Cheers,

Rob Oakes
