The distinction between View and Update doesn't make much difference
on Mac. What you need to do is set up your pdf viewer to pay attention
to changes in the .pdf file. In Skim, you can do that via Skim

No because LyX is not a PDF editor. LyX creates different output 
formats, after that its your decision what you do with them.


The mentioned PDF compression level supported by pdflatex won't help you 
much because it only compresses the PDF and does not recalculate the 
included images. If you for example increase the compression level in 
Acrobat, your 10 MB PDF will afterwards have a size of about 9.5-9 MB. 
But when you recalculate all images in the PDF, the file size can be 
decreased down to 3 MB.

If you follow the procedure given in the documentation pointed by Uwe,

If you still cannot, start from a new file (no special preamble) to see

What I want to control in this file, is the margins of the box: I would
like that it is aligned with the previous paragraph: same margin on the
left, same margin on the right.

Then turn off the paragraph indentation. (Set the cursor in front of the box and use the paragraph
settings menu. There uncheck the open Indent Paragraph.)

Note that a box always has a border which is of course wider than the box content. The border can be
visible or invisible. So when you want to have the same overall width for the box than for the text
column, you need to decrease its with to e.g. 98 column%.

Please nevertheless have a look at the box chapter in the EmbeddedObjects manual to learn more about
the box handling.

The same with the text within the box.

Use a parbox as inner box. You can then edit the box text like any other text.

Attached is a LyX example file.

Writing a syllabus using BibTex

Hello. 

I am new to this list. So please forgive me if I am not aware of certain
conventions.

I would like to write a syllabus using a BibTeX bibliography file. I am
familiar with using .bib files for writing articles. However, I could
not find any manual on how to integrate my references in a syllabus. 

What I am trying to do would look like this:

Week 1

Theory of the household. Blah, blah, blah ...

Required readings

BibTeX reference 1
BibTeX reference 2

Suggested readings

BibTeX reference 3
BibTeX reference 4

Week 2 

Theory of the firm. Blah, blah, blah ...

Required readings

BibTeX reference 5
BibTeX reference 6

Suggested readings

BibTeX reference 7
BibTeX reference 8

... and so on and so forth.

Now the problem that I am running into is to find a command that shows
the complete information for a BibTex reference given particular style.
For instance:

Marx, Karl (1867): Capital - A Critique of Political Economy, Volume I.
London. Peguin.

Any help is appreciated.

 working with LyX 2.0.0 alpha3, I have the same problem: View works fine, but
 I've never got Update working. I've to close the current view (whatever PDF
 viewer I am using, Adobe or Skim, for instance), to get an updated view.

 Please, am I missing something obvious? Thanks!

The distinction between View and Update doesn't make much difference
on Mac. What you need to do is set up your pdf viewer to pay attention
to changes in the .pdf file. In Skim, you can do that via Skim 
Preferences  Sync  Check for file changes.

No because LyX is not a PDF editor. LyX creates different output

The mentioned PDF compression level supported by pdflatex won't help you 
much because it only compresses the PDF and does not recalculate the

But when you recalculate all images in the PDF, the file size can be

Then turn off the paragraph indentation. (Set the cursor in front of the box and use the paragraph

The same with the text within the box.

Use a parbox as inner box. You can then edit the box text like any other text.

Writing a syllabus using BibTex

Hello. 

I am new to this list. So please forgive me if I am not aware of certain
conventions.

I would like to write a syllabus using a BibTeX bibliography file. I am
familiar with using .bib files for writing articles. However, I could
not find any manual on how to integrate my references in a syllabus. 

What I am trying to do would look like this:

Week 1

Theory of the household. Blah, blah, blah ...

Required readings

BibTeX reference 1
BibTeX reference 2

Suggested readings

BibTeX reference 3
BibTeX reference 4

Week 2 

Theory of the firm. Blah, blah, blah ...

Required readings

BibTeX reference 5
BibTeX reference 6

Suggested readings

BibTeX reference 7
BibTeX reference 8

... and so on and so forth.

Now the problem that I am running into is to find a command that shows
the complete information for a BibTex reference given particular style.
For instance:

Marx, Karl (1867): Capital - A Critique of Political Economy, Volume I.
London. Peguin.

Any help is appreciated.

No because LyX is not a PDF editor. LyX creates different output 
formats, after that its your decision what you do with them.


The mentioned PDF compression level supported by pdflatex won't help you 
much because it only compresses the PDF and does not recalculate the 
included images. If you for example increase the compression level in 
Acrobat, your 10 MB PDF will afterwards have a size of about 9.5-9 MB. 
But when you recalculate all images in the PDF, the file size can be 
decreased down to 3 MB.

My image is 62px x 62px.  I would like to have some padding around it and just

this?


Thank you,

If you have contex installed you can use the scripts there to downsample
the finished pdf.

/usr/share/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/pstopdf.rb --method=5 finished.pdf 

If you need smaller pdfs use --method=4

Hello LyX-users,

how can I create a shortcut for "strong s"->'ß' (on a MacBook with US keyboard)?
The integrated Mac-solution (ALT s) is overlaid by LyX-shortcut.
I want to define my own shortcut like: "ALT S S" "text-insert \ß", but "text-insert" 
isn't a valid command and "\ß" is probably a mistake also.

Can you help me please?



unicode-insert is valid, and in your case you want:
unicode-insert 0x00DF
self-insert also works, with the character itself:
self-insert ß
Either way.

Uwe,

Thank you for the quick response.

The wrapping I have been able to achieve is more like column splitting.  I 
would like to have a warning sign or note icon and actually wrap around the 
image meaning it goes under the image too.  To clarify, the image in question 
is neither a figure nor a table and should not be indexed as either.

Hi,

If you follow the procedure given in the documentation pointed by Uwe, 
you should get what you want (see attached screenshot of a pdf in Adobe 
reader). This is a result with 1.6.6 on WinXP.


If you still cannot, start from a new file (no special preamble) to see 
if the failure comes from some incompatibilities.


Note that you may have to set both the float and the picture sizes.

Best regards,

Olivier

When I used the floating figure, the image was centered which was not
the style I was looking for.
When I used the \begin{wrapfigure} LaTex directive all the text was
placed under the image (sized to the image) instead of wrapping around.

Has anyone figured out how to do this?

Have a look at sec. 3.2.2 "Wrap Floats" of the EmbeddedObjects manual
that you find in LyX's help menu. It is also described in the LyX
Userguide, sec. 4.6.1.4 Wrap Floats.

Why don't take LyX's own documentation as I wrote you.? When you follow it, you will be able to get 
something like the attached one - just replace there the image with an image of your choice.

Re: box alignment

Am 21.05.2010 08:38, schrieb [Ricardo Rodriguez] eBioTIC.:

I know I must read through the manuals!

Yes, in your case the section "Colored Boxes" of the EmbeddedObjects manual.

Configuration is to configure LyX#s defaults, look and feel, etc. This is independent of your text
features.

As for this doubt, please have a look at this simple file generated
using article Document class.

http://xen.net/onLyX/dummyTextMargins.pdf
http://xen.net/onLyX/dummyTextMargins.lyx

What I want to control in this file, is the margins of the box: I would
like that it is aligned with the previous paragraph: same margin on the
left, same margin on the right.

Then turn off the paragraph indentation. (Set the cursor in front of the box and use the paragraph
settings menu. There uncheck the open "Indent Paragraph".)

Please nevertheless have a look at the box chapter in the EmbeddedObjects manual to learn more about
the box handling.

The same with the text within the box.

Use a parbox as inner box. You can then edit the box text like any other text.

Attached is a LyX example file.

Writing a syllabus using BibTex

Hello. 

I am new to this list. So please forgive me if I am not aware of certain
conventions.

I would like to write a syllabus using a BibTeX bibliography file. I am
familiar with using .bib files for writing articles. However, I could
not find any manual on how to integrate my references in a syllabus. 

What I am trying to do would look like this:

Week 1

Theory of the household. Blah, blah, blah ...

Required readings

BibTeX reference 1
BibTeX reference 2

Suggested readings

BibTeX reference 3
BibTeX reference 4

Week 2 

Theory of the firm. Blah, blah, blah ...

Required readings

BibTeX reference 5
BibTeX reference 6

Suggested readings

BibTeX reference 7
BibTeX reference 8

... and so on and so forth.

Now the problem that I am running into is to find a command that shows
the complete information for a BibTex reference given particular style.
For instance:

Marx, Karl (1867): Capital - A Critique of Political Economy, Volume I.
London. Peguin.

Any help is appreciated.

Johann

You probably want to use BibLaTeX, though it takes a bit of work to
get it set up to work with LyX. See:

Sorry for the empty mail, and thanks for your reply. However, reading
through the BibLaTex wiki, I don't see how this is going to solve my
problem. Could you please clarify?
