 I have fontspec v2.1e (2010/11/17), which is the most recent version on 
 CTAN. The documentation states:

 Ross Moore’s xunicode package is now automatically loaded for users of both 
 XELATEX and LuaLATEX.

 So it seems to me that the situation is reverse (unless you use an 
 unreleased pre-release)

Sorry, I mixed it up with xltxtra.

So xunicode is now also usable with LuaLaTeX?

The version at CTAN, 2010/11/06 v0.96, still checks solely for XeTeX.

However, I found in fontspec.dtx:

% Now we load \pkg{xunicode}, working around its internal \XeTeX\ check

Re: LyX Memoir endnotes have form of footnotes

George,

I think I must have misunderstood just a bit what you were wanting with the 
\wide environment effect.  Glad its working still.

 Hi Daron and Stefano,
 
 Your shortened code for the pagenotes, Daron, works OK but I still need \wide

 Stefano, I tested your comments on only a single paragraph allowed within a 
 pagenote.
 True, return or shift return are not accepted within a pagenote;
 however cntrl return [a ragged linebreak] works fine.
 This should suffice for most cases where one needs a second reference in a 
 pagenote, though it may not satisfy those who want paragraphs of text.
 
 Incidentally, cntrl shift return [a justified linebreak] is not accepted.

No. Look below.

New Page Breaks

[Rob Oakes]

Dear LyX-Users,

Does anyone know if it is possible to create new types of breaks in LyX?  I've 
just discovered the \clearoddpage and \cleareven page commands in the lhelp 
package.  As I'm currently working on a project which uses illustrations on the 
even pages opposite chapter heads (e.g. Illustration Here | Chapter Heading), 
this command is something of a godsend.  It would be awesome if I could create 
an Even Page break, in much the same way that the Clear Double Page break 
works now.

Anyone have ideas?  I didn't see anything on it in the advanced manual.

Cheers,

Hi Rob,

I don't completely understand your situation, and whether EVERY even page is 
opposite a chapter head. If so, you needn't do anything. If not, why not just 
ERT a \newpage after the illustration, or perhaps redefine the float caption 
environment so it \newpage after the paragraph?

Like I say, I don't completely envision your situation.

Just in case it might be helpful to you, here's the LaTeX and LyX code I use 
to put dates, defined in special LyX character styles, on the page header of 
each page. Pay particular attention to the \afterpage command and not the use 
of \xdef instead of \def.

here are the corresponding files as well:

But it used to generate nice and smooth barcodes.

[announce] Windows installer for LyX 2.0beta2

[Uwe Stöhr]

Hello LyXers,

a Windows installer for LyX 2.0beta2 is now available.

NOTE: LyX 2.0beta2 is a test release. This beta version will almost be 
feature-complete but not yet
bug-free. Therefore only use it for testing and not for real documents!
If you find bugs in LyX 2.0beta2, please report them to the LyX bugtracker:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome

The new features of LyX 2.0 are listed here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20

NOTE2: If you install LyX 2.0beta2 on a system with LyX 1.6.x installed, 
everything should work
fine. The opposite (installing LyX 1.6.x on systems with an installed LyX 
2.0alpha or beta release)
can cause troubles with third-party programs like ImageMagick.

NOTE3: The recommended way to upgrade from a LyX 2.0 alpha or previous beta release to beta2 is to 
uninstall the

previous release _completely_ (including user settings) before installing the 
beta2 release

-

The installer for this version can be downloaded from:
http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=18138
and
http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.0/beta2/

Installer Changelog:
-
Version 5.8
- LyX 2.0beta2
- updated to eLyXer 1.1.0

happy LyXing

LyX 1.6.8 / 2.0beta without admin rights

[Wolfgang Keller]

Hello,

I've asked for this already, and I will keep reposting this question...

Could PLEASE someone finally upload either:

- an installer that works WITHOUT ADMIN RIGHTS

or

- an installer-less (zip) package

for Lyx 1.6.8 (and also for 2.0beta) to ftp.lyx.org?

These used to be available for all LyX releases up to and including
1.6.7.

The existing installers for 1.6.8 and 2.0beta are simply unusable for
the very vast majority of all users condemned to Windows.

TIA,

Sincerely,

Wolfgang

My Lyx citation output is inconsistent

[Earl Alpert]

Dear folks,

I am using Lyx 1.6.4 with Jabref.  My problem is that I want my citations in 
the footnotes to look like 'Author Year, page number'. About half the time they 
do look like this; the other half I get 'Author, Full Title, Year, Page 
Number'. I can't see any differences in the Jabref entries nor in the way I am 
citing the works in Lyx using 'Insert Citation'.  

Has anyone had this problem before?

Cheers,  Earlski

Do you mean LyX's preferences, under Language Settings  Spellchecker? The

here.

Do you mean that words containing these characters will be marked wrong, or 
that having them in a document at all will screw up the rest of the document? 
If the former, the words marked as incorrect do not have accented characters. 
In any case, I don't think I have them elsewhere in the document (although I'm 
not 100% sure).

LyX 1.6.8 / 2.0beta without admin rights

[Wolfgang Keller]

Hello,

I've asked for this already, and I will keep reposting this question...

Could PLEASE someone finally upload either:

- an installer that works WITHOUT ADMIN RIGHTS

or

- an installer-less (zip) package

for Lyx 1.6.8 (and also for 2.0beta) to ftp.lyx.org?

These used to be available for all LyX releases up to and including
1.6.7.

The existing installers for 1.6.8 and 2.0beta are simply unusable for
the very vast majority of all users condemned to Windows.

TIA,

Sincerely,

Wolfgang

My Lyx citation output is inconsistent

[Earl Alpert]

Dear folks,

I am using Lyx 1.6.4 with Jabref.  My problem is that I want my citations in 
the footnotes to look like 'Author Year, page number'. About half the time they 
do look like this; the other half I get 'Author, Full Title, Year, Page 
Number'. I can't see any differences in the Jabref entries nor in the way I am 
citing the works in Lyx using 'Insert Citation'.  

Has anyone had this problem before?

Cheers,  Earlski

 Hi Pete,
 
 please check in preferences the spell checker type you are using.
 The default has changed to Macs native spell checker.

Do you mean LyX's preferences, under Language Settings  Spellchecker? The 
Spellchecker executable has the options ispell, aspell, or hspell, and I have 
selected aspell. I can't see any option for selecting the native spell checker 
here.

 I found similar things happening to me under LyX 1.6.7 in a document that 
 contained some accented unicode characters, specifically é and ú — perhaps 
 that 
 is the cause. A workaround of course is simply to use ERT and with 
 appropriate 
 TeX code, e.g., \'{e} and \'{u}.  The problem has been fixed in 2.0beta2.

Do you mean that words containing these characters will be marked wrong, or 
that having them in a document at all will screw up the rest of the document? 
If the former, the words marked as incorrect do not have accented characters. 
In any case, I don't think I have them elsewhere in the document (although I'm 
not 100% sure).

Cheers,
Pete.

Sorry, I mixed it up with xltxtra.

So xunicode is now also usable with LuaLaTeX?

The version at CTAN, 2010/11/06 v0.96, still checks solely for XeTeX.

However, I found in fontspec.dtx:

% Now we load \pkg{xunicode}, working around its internal \XeTeX\ check

New Page Breaks

[Rob Oakes]

Dear LyX-Users,

Does anyone know if it is possible to create new types of breaks in LyX?  I've 
just discovered the \clearoddpage and \cleareven page commands in the lhelp 
package.  As I'm currently working on a project which uses illustrations on the 
even pages opposite chapter heads (e.g. Illustration Here | Chapter Heading), 
this command is something of a godsend.  It would be awesome if I could create 
an "Even Page" break, in much the same way that the "Clear Double Page" break 
works now.

Anyone have ideas?  I didn't see anything on it in the advanced manual.

Cheers,

Rob

Hi Rob,

I don't completely understand your situation, and whether EVERY even page is 
opposite a chapter head. If so, you needn't do anything. If not, why not just 
ERT a \newpage after the illustration, or perhaps redefine the float caption 
environment so it \newpage after the paragraph?

Like I say, I don't completely envision your situation.

Just in case it might be helpful to you, here's the LaTeX and LyX code I use 
to put dates, defined in special LyX character styles, on the page header of 
each page. Pay particular attention to the \afterpage command and not the use 
of \xdef instead of \def.

Preamble
\usepackage{afterpage}%  Used for break logic on header dates

\newcommand{\plotdateondeck}[0]{init}

% 
% ### LATEX CODE FOR PLOT DATES IN HEADER
% 
\newcommand{\plotdatehdr}[0]{init}
\newcommand{\plotdateondeck}[0]{init}

% ### Character style -- plot date in LyX, change var in PDF
% ### Set hdr var directly, used at chapter beginnings
\newcommand{\plotdatechapterL}[1]{\renewcommand\plotdatehdr[0]{#1}}


% ### Character style -- plot date in LyX, change var in PDF
% ### Set ondeck for afterpage copy to hdr var, used within chapters
% ### Notice the afterpage does the after page copy
\newcommand{\plotdatebodyL}[1]{%
  \renewcommand\plotdateondeck[0]{#1}%
  \afterpage{\xdef\plotdatehdr{\plotdateondeck}}%
}
% 
% ### END OF LATEX CODE FOR PLOT DATES IN HEADER
% 

\fancyhf[OLH,ELH]{\scriptsize{\plotdatehdr}}

Re: Labels with barcodes

[sunfire]

Hi Abdel,

as for the barcodes, maybe you'll find some hint's here:
http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/barcodes/willadt/

here are the corresponding files as well:
ftp://anonym...@ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/fonts/barcodes/willadt

I don't know if it will still work today, as I used to work only once
with barcodes in LaTeX/LyX and that's some time (reads years) ago...
But it used to generate nice and smooth barcodes.

[announce] Windows installer for LyX 2.0beta2

[Uwe Stöhr]

Hello LyXers,

a Windows installer for LyX 2.0beta2 is now available.

NOTE: LyX 2.0beta2 is a test release. This beta version will almost be 
feature-complete but not yet
bug-free. Therefore only use it for testing and not for real documents!
If you find bugs in LyX 2.0beta2, please report them to the LyX bugtracker:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome

The new features of LyX 2.0 are listed here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20

NOTE2: If you install LyX 2.0beta2 on a system with LyX 1.6.x installed, 
everything should work
fine. The opposite (installing LyX 1.6.x on systems with an installed LyX 
2.0alpha or beta release)
can cause troubles with third-party programs like ImageMagick.

NOTE3: The recommended way to upgrade from a LyX 2.0 alpha or previous beta release to beta2 is to 
uninstall the

previous release _completely_ (including user settings) before installing the 
beta2 release

-

The installer for this version can be downloaded from:
http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117_id=18138
and
http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.0/beta2/

Installer Changelog:
-
Version 5.8
- LyX 2.0beta2
- updated to eLyXer 1.1.0
