Re: Save Date vs. Print Date

[icebna]

Under the title skip a row and write your date, and up to the left under 
file, edit ... where are the paragraphs of the document and press Date 
and that date is final.

But I vastly prefer to insert my own date, or to list the save date of

Is there a way to get LyX to do this? I didn't see it in the menus.

 Right. But what about the strange top-header? Should I assume this is the

It works fine with font(s) set to (Roman:) Times Roman.

Assuming you are compiling with pdftex as backend (which is most probably the 
case, as all more or less recent LaTeX-Distributions use it by default -- even 
when compiling to dvi), you can use the  \pdffilemoddate{filename} built-in 
command to retrieve the last modified date of filename. 

LyXically and applied for the own source file this comes down to the following 
two lines, which should be inserted into your document's preamble:

\def\parsedate #1:20#2#3#4#5#6#7#8\empty{20#2#3/#4#5/#6#7}
\date{\expandafter\parsedate\pdffilemoddate{\jobname.tex}\empty}

(You can alter the display format, e.g., to use full stops instead of hyphens 
as separators, by modifying the \empty{} part of the first line.

I have found the basics of this trick on the net some time ago, so I do not 
want claim authorship for it. Note that in its current form \parsedate only 
works for the years 2000 -- 2099.

JM,

thinking again, my idea about spacing is to have one-half or double spacing

Re: in Lyx-Code quote, double quote, and back-tic not as expected.

[Paul Rubin]

Try the following:

1. In the preamble, \usepackage{textcomp}.

2. Rather than LyX-Code, Insert  Program Listing and paste the code in there.

3. Right click anywhere in the listing, pick Settings..., go the Advanced tab,
and insert columns=fullflexible and upquote=true.  The former gets rid of
kerning and the latter gets you the backtick character.  (The vertical quote

No. But I have seen this myself and I just reverted back the last

The message just means that the PDF file was not created; it says nothing about

1.  Look at Document  LaTeX Log and see if you can find an error message.

2.  Export the document using File  Export  LaTeX (pdflatex), open a terminal,

LyTero and LyX 2

[Rob Oakes]

Dear LyX Users,

I've been toiling away on a book chapter about Reference Managers and 
Cite-While-You-Write software and I've run into a bit of a snag.  Does anyone 
know if Lytero currently supports the new version of LyX?  Whenever I try and 
use it (regardless of platform), it says that it is unable to either locate the 
LyX pipe or that it is unable to find the bibliography style.

I'm just wondering if anyone has had success getting it to work with one of the 
alpha builds of LyX or with the SVN versions.

Cheers,

Quotations after Headings

[iustifico]

In some books sometimes the author writes the Titel of a Topic, then under the 
titel in italic appears a nice slogan or citation of a famous person. I find 
this kind of nice. Is there a way to manage that in Lyx? I mean is there 
perhaps a builtin method, or do I have just to write some text and align it to 
the right and set it italic?

e.g.:


1. This is a title of a topic Titel

Though this be madness, yet there is method 
in't.
- Shakespeare, William (1564-1616)

Okay.  I wasn't sure WHERE the actual error was though. 

 
 The bug occurs because you sometimes set the tables as being part of the 
 paragraph headings. 
 Sometimes you also set the tables as description - which could cause problems 
 and is senseless. To 
 fix this, set the cursor in front of the tables and select the standard 
 environment.
 Attached is an excerpt of your document where I fixed this accordingly.

Thank you.  Of course the paragraph settings to anything other than
Standard was inadvertent. But I would have never looked for that as the
problem.

Thank you very much for your help and your time troubleshooting this.
Another great contribution to the spread of open source/open

Justifying figures to outer margin

[george legge]

In LyX memoir class, 2-sided, single column, how can I place figures so that
their outer edges line up with the outer edge of a wide (outer margin)? With
figures 1.2cm from the edge of the page, they then visually define the wide
outer margin. I want the captions (without caption numbers printed) placed
on the inside of the figures or, for wide figures, in the wide margin under
the figure.

I tried inserting the figure in a float, which then floats to the top of a
page, as desired. However the figure caption appears always on the left and
is justified to the left margin of the text, irrespective of whether the
page is recto or verso. The figure just gets pushed right in response to the
length of the caption. I need the caption on the “inside”, whether that is
left or right. If the caption is below the figure, the figure can be left or
right justified, but only to the text – not to the outer margin. How do I
get justification of the figure to the outer margin – not to the text?

Whether I set this up in LyX, in the LaTeX preamble or in TeX code, I feel
that it should be straightforward and probably a common layout; but I cannot
find the right documentation.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, George (Legge)

I have found the xstring package, which provides a \StrRemoveBraces command 
that helps here:

\usepackage{xstring}
\strremovebraces{\in...@path\jobname.lyx}[\lyxfilepath]
\def\parsedate #1:20#2#3#4#5#6#7#8\empty{20#2#3/#4#5/#6#7}
\date{\expandafter\parsedate\pdffilemoddate{\lyxfilepath}\empty}

Attached is a .lyx-file that demonstrate this.

Nevertheless, I would prefer a solution that does not employ xstring.

Hi,

I am not completely clear on what you want to accomplish, but you might 
want to have a look at the sidecap package [1]. I wrote a minimalistic 
module to use the package in LyX [2]. Maybe that would help. Otherwise, 
sorry for the noise.

I am not completely clear on what you want to accomplish, but you might want

Thank you Julien for the prompt reply.
I have read your documentation.
Your package does allow figures to move into the margin and captions to be
placed on either side.
But it does not appear to tackle the major problem, which is:
How to get figures (of all widths) to justify to a boundary several cm
outside the text edge.

it should not be hard to make inset info for file-date as we have for

feel free to add it to bugzilla if it would solve your request.

Use a wrapped float. Its option Overhang is exactly what you need. Attached 
is a LyX example file.
For more infos about wrapped floats have a look at sec. 3.2.2 Wrap Floats of the EmbeddedObjects 
manual that you find in LyX#s Help menu.

Assuming you are compiling with pdftex as backend (which is most probably the 
case, as all more or less recent LaTeX-Distributions use it by default -- even 
when compiling to dvi), you can use the  \pdffilemoddate{filename} built-in 
command to retrieve the last modified date of filename. 

LyXically and applied for the own source file this comes down to the following 
two lines, which should be inserted into your document's preamble:

\def\parsedate #1:20#2#3#4#5#6#7#8\empty{20#2#3/#4#5/#6#7}
\date{\expandafter\parsedate\pdffilemoddate{\jobname.tex}\empty}

(You can alter the display format, e.g., to use full stops instead of hyphens 
as separators, by modifying the \empty{} part of the first line.

I have found the basics of this trick on the net some time ago, so I do not 
want claim authorship for it. Note that in its current form \parsedate only 
works for the years 2000 -- 2099.

Re: in Lyx-Code quote, double quote, and back-tic not as expected.

[Paul Rubin]

Try the following:

1. In the preamble, \usepackage{textcomp}.

2. Rather than LyX-Code, Insert  Program Listing and paste the code in there.

3. Right click anywhere in the listing, pick Settings..., go the Advanced tab,
and insert columns=fullflexible and upquote=true.  The former gets rid of
kerning and the latter gets you the backtick character.  (The vertical quote

No. But I have seen this myself and I just reverted back the last

LyTero and LyX 2

[Rob Oakes]

Dear LyX Users,

I've been toiling away on a book chapter about Reference Managers and 
Cite-While-You-Write software and I've run into a bit of a snag.  Does anyone 
know if Lytero currently supports the new version of LyX?  Whenever I try and 
use it (regardless of platform), it says that it is unable to either locate the 
LyX pipe or that it is unable to find the bibliography style.

I'm just wondering if anyone has had success getting it to work with one of the 
alpha builds of LyX or with the SVN versions.

Cheers,

Quotations after Headings

[iustifico]

In some books sometimes the author writes the Titel of a Topic, then under the 
titel in italic appears a nice slogan or citation of a famous person. I find 
this kind of nice. Is there a way to manage that in Lyx? I mean is there 
perhaps a builtin method, or do I have just to write some text and align it to 
the right and set it italic?

e.g.:


1. This is a title of a topic Titel

Though this be madness, yet there is method 
in't.
- Shakespeare, William (1564-1616)

Start of the Chapter...

Okay.  I wasn't sure WHERE the actual error was though. 

 
 The bug occurs because you sometimes set the tables as being part of the 
 paragraph headings. 
 Sometimes you also set the tables as description - which could cause problems 
 and is senseless. To 
 fix this, set the cursor in front of the tables and select the standard 
 environment.
 Attached is an excerpt of your document where I fixed this accordingly.

Thank you.  Of course the paragraph settings to anything other than
Standard was inadvertent. But I would have never looked for that as the
problem.

Thank you very much for your help and your time troubleshooting this.

Justifying figures to outer margin

[george legge]

In LyX memoir class, 2-sided, single column, how can I place figures so that
their outer edges line up with the outer edge of a wide (outer margin)? With
figures 1.2cm from the edge of the page, they then visually define the wide
outer margin. I want the captions (without caption numbers printed) placed
on the inside of the figures or, for wide figures, in the wide margin under
the figure.

I tried inserting the figure in a float, which then floats to the top of a
page, as desired. However the figure caption appears always on the left and
is justified to the left margin of the text, irrespective of whether the
page is recto or verso. The figure just gets pushed right in response to the
length of the caption. I need the caption on the “inside”, whether that is
left or right. If the caption is below the figure, the figure can be left or
right justified, but only to the text – not to the outer margin. How do I
get justification of the figure to the outer margin – not to the text?

Whether I set this up in LyX, in the LaTeX preamble or in TeX code, I feel
that it should be straightforward and probably a common layout; but I cannot
find the right documentation.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, George (Legge)

I have found the xstring package, which provides a \StrRemoveBraces command 
that helps here:

\usepackage{xstring}
\strremovebraces{\in...@path\jobname.lyx}[\lyxfilepath]
\def\parsedate #1:20#2#3#4#5#6#7#8\empty{20#2#3/#4#5/#6#7}
\date{\expandafter\parsedate\pdffilemoddate{\lyxfilepath}\empty}

Attached is a .lyx-file that demonstrate this.

Nevertheless, I would prefer a solution that does not employ xstring.

Re: Help to create some custome made encironments in Lyx

[Paul Rubin]

Have a look at the LyX Customization manual (Help  Customization), section
5.2.1, and then take a peek at some of the .module files in the LyX layout
folder to see some examples.  Basically, you define the environments in a module
(or modules), including the LaTeX command you will use to invoke the
environment, any LaTeX code needed to define that command (to be inserted into
the preamble), and details of how LyX should display the environment.

In LyX memoir class, 2-sided, single column, how can I place figures so that

outer margin. I want the captions (without caption numbers printed) placed
on the inside of the figures or, for wide figures, in the wide margin under
the figure.

I tried inserting the figure in a float, which then floats to the top of a
page, as desired. However the figure caption appears always on the left and
is justified to the left margin of the text, irrespective of whether the
page is recto or verso. The figure just gets pushed right in response to the
length of the caption. I need the caption on the “inside”, whether that is
left or right. If the caption is below the figure, the figure can be left or
right justified, but only to the text – not to the outer margin. How do I
get justification of the figure to the outer margin – not to the text?

Whether I set this up in LyX, in the LaTeX preamble or in TeX code, I feel
that it should be straightforward and probably a common layout; but I cannot
find the right documentation.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I am not completely clear on what you want to accomplish, but you might 
want to have a look at the sidecap package [1]. I wrote a minimalistic 
module to use the package in LyX [2]. Maybe that would help. Otherwise, 
sorry for the noise.

Thank you Julien for the prompt reply.
I have read your documentation.
Your package does allow figures to move into the margin and captions to be
placed on either side.
But it does not appear to tackle the major problem, which is:
How to get figures (of all widths) to justify to a boundary several cm
outside the text edge.

Use a wrapped float. Its option Overhang is exactly what you need. Attached 
is a LyX example file.
For more infos about wrapped floats have a look at sec. 3.2.2 Wrap Floats of the EmbeddedObjects 
manual that you find in LyX#s Help menu.

Assuming you are compiling with pdftex as backend (which is most probably the 
case, as all more or less recent LaTeX-Distributions use it by default -- even 
when compiling to dvi), you can use the  \pdffilemoddate{} built-in 
command to retrieve the "last modified" date of . 

LyXically and applied for the own source file this comes down to the following 
two lines, which should be inserted into your document's preamble:

\def\parsedate #1:20#2#3#4#5#6#7#8\empty{20#2#3/#4#5/#6#7}
\date{\expandafter\parsedate\pdffilemoddate{\jobname.tex}\empty}

(You can alter the display format, e.g., to use full stops instead of hyphens 
as separators, by modifying the \empty{} part of the first line.

I have found the basics of this trick on the net some time ago, so I do not 
want claim authorship for it. Note that in its current form \parsedate only 
works for the years 2000 -- 2099.

JM,

thinking again, my idea about spacing is to have one-half or double spacing 
while reading it for corrections before the submission.

Re: in Lyx-Code quote, double quote, and back-tic not as expected.

[Paul Rubin]

Try the following:

1. In the preamble, \usepackage{textcomp}.

2. Rather than LyX-Code, Insert > Program Listing and paste the code in there.

3. Right click anywhere in the listing, pick Settings..., go the Advanced tab,
and insert columns=fullflexible and upquote=true.  The former gets rid of
kerning and the latter gets you the backtick character.  (The vertical quote
seems to take care of itself.)

No. But I have seen this myself and I just reverted back the last 
modifications in the lyx document and then it worked. Unfortunately, I can't 
remember what was the change that caused the document not to compile.

I guess that the error is somehow misleading... ?

The message just means that the PDF file was not created; it says nothing about
what went wrong.  Things to try:

1.  Look at Document > LaTeX Log and see if you can find an error message.

Here it's the error. How can solve it???

Runaway argument?
 \end {document}
! File ended while scanning use of \@@lyxplainframe.

\par

I suspect you have forgotten a `}', causing me

I'll try to recover; but if the error is serious,
you'd better type `E' or `X' now and fix your file.

LyTero and LyX 2

[Rob Oakes]

Dear LyX Users,

I've been toiling away on a book chapter about Reference Managers and 
Cite-While-You-Write software and I've run into a bit of a snag.  Does anyone 
know if Lytero currently supports the new version of LyX?  Whenever I try and 
use it (regardless of platform), it says that it is unable to either locate the 
LyX pipe or that it is unable to find the bibliography style.

I'm just wondering if anyone has had success getting it to work with one of the 
alpha builds of LyX or with the SVN versions.

Cheers,

Rob Oakes

Quotations after Headings

[iustifico]

In some books sometimes the author writes the Titel of a Topic, then under the 
titel in italic appears a nice slogan or citation of a famous person. I find 
this kind of nice. Is there a way to manage that in Lyx? I mean is there 
perhaps a builtin method, or do I have just to write some text and align it to 
the right and set it italic?

e.g.:


1. This is a title of a topic Titel

Though this be madness, yet there is method 
in't.

Nice trick. But wouldn't the  final result be identical to the print date,
since pdftex checks the modification date of a tex file created on the fly
by lyx at print time? Or there is something more involved I don't
understand?

Thank you.  Of course the paragraph settings to anything other than
Standard was inadvertent. But I would have never looked for that as the
problem.

Justifying figures to outer margin

[george legge]

In LyX memoir class, 2-sided, single column, how can I place figures so that
their outer edges line up with the outer edge of a wide (outer margin)? With
figures 1.2cm from the edge of the page, they then visually define the wide
outer margin. I want the captions (without caption numbers printed) placed
on the inside of the figures or, for wide figures, in the wide margin under
the figure.

I tried inserting the figure in a float, which then floats to the top of a
page, as desired. However the figure caption appears always on the left and
is justified to the left margin of the text, irrespective of whether the
page is recto or verso. The figure just gets pushed right in response to the
length of the caption. I need the caption on the “inside”, whether that is
left or right. If the caption is below the figure, the figure can be left or
right justified, but only to the text – not to the outer margin. How do I
get justification of the figure to the outer margin – not to the text?

Whether I set this up in LyX, in the LaTeX preamble or in TeX code, I feel
that it should be straightforward and probably a common layout; but I cannot
find the right documentation.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, George (Legge)

Does anyone have access to the source of latex_con_lyx.pdf?  I like to learn
how the author created code segments of the following form:

Thanks in advance

Stefano, you are right, of course!

We need the path to the LyX-File, not to the generated .tex file:

\date{\expandafter\parsedate\pdffilemoddate{/Users/lohmann/test.lyx}\empty}

However, I would prefer not to hard-code the absolute path to the LyX file. 
Fortunately, LyX defines \in...@path in the preamble as the file path to the 
LyX-file directory:

\def\in...@path{{/Users/lohmann//}}

However, the following does /not/ work:

\date{\expandafter\parsedate\pdffilemoddate{\in...@path\jobname.lyx}\empty}

Apparently, the problem is the double curly braces that LyX uses in the 
definition of \in...@path and that somehow influence the TeX-internal scanning; 
with the following definition it /would/ work: 

\def\in...@path{/Users/lohmann//}

Does anybody know, how to expand \in...@path in a way that the double curly 
braces do not cause these troubles?

I have found the xstring package, which provides a \StrRemoveBraces command 
that helps here:

\usepackage{xstring}
\strremovebraces{\in...@path\jobname.lyx}[\lyxfilepath]
\def\parsedate #1:20#2#3#4#5#6#7#8\empty{20#2#3/#4#5/#6#7}
\date{\expandafter\parsedate\pdffilemoddate{\lyxfilepath}\empty}

Attached is a .lyx-file that demonstrate this.

Nevertheless, I would prefer a solution that does not employ xstring.

Re: Help to create some custome made encironments in Lyx

Have a look at the LyX Customization manual (Help > Customization), section
5.2.1, and then take a peek at some of the .module files in the LyX layout
folder to see some examples.  Basically, you define the environments in a module
(or modules), including the LaTeX command you will use to invoke the
environment, any LaTeX code needed to define that command (to be inserted into
the preamble), and details of how LyX should display the environment.

Re: Justifying figures to outer margin

In LyX memoir class, 2-sided, single column, how can I place figures so that
their outer edges line up with the outer edge of a wide (outer margin)? With
figures 1.2cm from the edge of the page, they then visually define the wide
outer margin. I want the captions (without caption numbers printed) placed
on the inside of the figures or, for wide figures, in the wide margin under
the figure.

I tried inserting the figure in a float, which then floats to the top of a
page, as desired. However the figure caption appears always on the left and
is justified to the left margin of the text, irrespective of whether the
page is recto or verso. The figure just gets pushed right in response to the
length of the caption. I need the caption on the “inside”, whether that is
left or right. If the caption is below the figure, the figure can be left or
right justified, but only to the text – not to the outer margin. How do I
get justification of the figure to the outer margin – not to the text?

Whether I set this up in LyX, in the LaTeX preamble or in TeX code, I feel
that it should be straightforward and probably a common layout; but I cannot
find the right documentation.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, George (Legge)



Hi,

I am not completely clear on what you want to accomplish, but you might 
want to have a look at the sidecap package [1]. I wrote a minimalistic 
module to use the package in LyX [2]. Maybe that would help. Otherwise, 
sorry for the noise.

Thank you Julien for the prompt reply.
I have read your documentation.
Your package does allow figures to move into the margin and captions to be
placed on either side.
But it does not appear to tackle the major problem, which is:
How to get figures (of all widths) to justify to a boundary several cm
outside the text edge.

it should not be hard to make inset info for file-date as we have for 
file-name/dir.
feel free to add it to bugzilla if it would solve your request.

Use a wrapped float. Its option "Overhang" is exactly what you need. Attached 
is a LyX example file.
For more infos about wrapped floats have a look at sec. 3.2.2 "Wrap Floats" of the EmbeddedObjects 
manual that you find in LyX#s Help menu.
