How to type a text over arrow?

[Yegor Yefremov]

Hello,

I want to type the formula like in the attached image (formula.jpg).
Haw can I do this with LyX/LaTeX? As for now I'm using LyX 1.6.5.

Yegor

Could somebody please help? I do have problems with format biblatex-dw and idembib/idembibformat…

[jezZiFeR]

I hope, that this post is formally correct, and my english is  
understandable. Please let me know if something is not clear, or if I  
said something, that is not correct. If I could maybe get help  
elsewhere, please let me know, as I have to solve that problem to be  
able to continue my work.


This is my problem with LyX 1.6.9 and  with biblatex-dw and idembib/ 
idembibformat: Although I have entered idembib=true and  
idembibformat=dash, I do not get dashes, but ders., which is the  
male entry in german. How could I solve this? Thanks for your help.


In the document-settings I have entered the following:
\usepackage[natbib=true,style=footnote- 
dw 
,urldate 
=long,abbreviate=true,pageref=true,idembib=true,idembibformat=dash] 
{biblatex}


Thank you in advance

Is it possible to distribute long headings on two lines in the text but on only one in the TOC?

[Påvel Nicklasson]

Sorry for the enigmatic title, English is not my first language.

What I am trying to do is to make some long headings evenly distributed  
over two lines in the text by using \\ in ERT. It works well with one  
exception: In the TOC the headings are cut in the same place as in the  
text. This looks rather ugly.


I use a two column layout (Koma book) so there is less space for headings  
in the text than in the TOC and manually corrected headings looks much  
better than a heading automatically justified by LyX with just a single  
word on the second line.


Is there a way to distribute headings on two lines in the text and on a  
single line in the TOC?


Best Regards
Påvel

I think is better if you address that question to the person in charge of

SV: Is it possible to distribute long headings on two lines in the text but on only one in the TOC?

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi

There are many ways to do this, but I suggest that you use chapter* and format 
the linebreaks (CTRL+ENTER) where you want them and then i ERT add just after 
chapter* add:
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{This a long text with the name of the Chapter}

Thank you, Liviu and Ingar!

I have tested the chapter* and addcontentsline solution, but it messes up  
the automatic chapter and section numbering since I can't manage to  
transfer the correct chapter/section number to the TOC for the headings  
that need to be changed and the book is rather long (500 pages), and  
manually number all headings is little too much work.


The Context menu  Insert short title solution seems to work very well for  
my purposes. It is strange how easy solutions in LyX are when you discover  
them!

Undefined control sequence

[Sølvi]

 Hi.

Hope someone can help me with this beacuse I'm getting desperate.

I use LYX version 1.6.9 on a XP-platform

I have a Masterdocument with several included files, I worked on this
document only a few weeks ago with no problems, but now I can't view it in
PDF anymore. When I press the view PDF-button i get a long list which says
Undefined control sequence and the following error message:


*\ltx@newglobalif *

* \ifGPT@pagecolor*

*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've also tried to PDF just the smaller, included douments seperatly but get
the same error. I've looked everywhere for a solution and can't figure out
what's wrong, considering the document was fine a few weeks ago. Hope anyone
can help me with this, and please keep in mind that I'm a novise to LYX and
need simple explanations :)

Re: moderncv template error to compile

[Manolo Martínez]

I have a similar problem. There are two crude ways for the document to
compile:

1. I've noticed that changing the style from classic to casual -- in
Document/Configuration/Preamble -- allows it to compile. 
2. commenting out the reference to the email (also in the preamble) does
the trick too.

This is enough for me for the time being; but I realise that it's not
ideal: maybe you prefer the classic style and/or cannot make do without
the e-mail field. I'd very much like to know of better solutions.

I come up with my solution number 2 because pdflatex does compile
a .tex exported by LyX -- after hitting enter a couple of times -- but,
in the e-mail field, shows the e-mail you introduced prefixed with
magenta. That is, in my case: magentaman...@austrohungaro.com. 
A very cool bug :) There must be a semicolon missing somewhere...

Re: Undefined control sequence

[Julio Rojas]

Hi Solvi. You should start little by little. Try creating a new document
exactly set up as your problematic document. Add only one paragraph to test
it, and compile. If you have some problem, start removing one line at a
time, the packages included in the preamble. Lets see how that goes before
proceeding.

Yeah, you are right. But this is a LyX bug. It should use a not-so-obvious
name for the command to prevent a conflict like this.
However, the command \subref is defined by LyX only when you use the
Formatted reference. Since I don't use this type of cross-reference, there
is no problem with my ERT.

I'll create a ticket for this.

Just curious, will pdftk preserve links between chapters? This seems
rather nontrivial.


Pdftk output is exactly like the original file, so it keeps all links.
All links in the generated file will work if they point to an existent position.
For example, if there is a link for the chapter 10, but the chapter 10
is not in the file, that link will not work (obvious?).



I guess I wasn't precise enough. The PDF format supports links across 
files. The OP looks for a tool which does the split and rewrites the 
metadata so that links happen across the different pdf files. 
Apparently, pdftk is not this tool. But pdftk is based on iText which is 
very powerful, so I can imagine someone could hack at it do get this 
behavior. As I said, it's rather nontrivial, but it's not obvious that 
it cannot be done.


Nevertheless, pdftk is a great tool as it is.

I know it is hard work, but I suspect it has nothing to do with the text

 Hi all,

 I have written a couple of cygwin scripts to automate some time-consuming
 repetitive tasks and would like to be able to run these from within LyX, for
 example via a keyboard shortcut or a customized button on a toolbar. Is this
 sort of thing possible? If so, does anyone have advice on how to set it up?

 As an example, I like to use the pdfpages package to include external
 pdfs. However, I often use relative paths (e.g. when collaborating with
 co-authors on Dropbox and the like), and as we know LyX cannot handle this
 because of all the copying to temporary directories and so on that LyX
 prefers. So, I've written a very simple script to export the lyx file to tex
 and then compile using miktex. It would be great if I didn't have to fire up
 CygWin and type in the command and filename - rather, I'd prefer to
 designate a keyboard shortcut or menu option within LyX that would tell
 cygwin to run the script and pass it the current filename.

  The only real way to do this, so far as I know, is to define a converter
 that will call your script. This converter might, for example, replace
 pdflatex as a LaTeX--PDF converter. There are a number of ways to do this,
 so the best way will depend on the details.

Dear Richard,

Thanks a lot for this comment. What are some of the alternative ways to
define a converter, and what are the sort of details that would be useful to
know in deciding?

This particular task is incredibly simple (export to tex, compile), and I'm
not necessarily wedded to using CygWin, that's just what I happen to be most
comfortable with.

Converters are defined under ToolsPreferencesFile HandingConverters.
See section 3.3 of the Customization manual for the details of the
syntax. Basically, any stupid script can act as a converter. It just
needs to take certain arguments, and you need to tell LyX what they are.
Lots of converters are already defined there, so you can also mimic them.

However, the converter is executed in a temporary folder, which is 
precisely what the user wanted to avoid (and the reason to write the 
script in the first place). I miss how you can get around this.

 Converters are defined under ToolsPreferencesFile HandingConverters.
 See section 3.3 of the Customization manual for the details of the
 syntax. Basically, any stupid script can act as a converter. It just
 needs to take certain arguments, and you need to tell LyX what they are.
 Lots of converters are already defined there, so you can also mimic

 However, the converter is executed in a temporary folder, which is

Well, I guess we'll see, but on reading this again it looks as if the
problem was supposed to be that certain of his scripts fail because of
the copying to a tempdir. I guess my thought must have been that this
could be done by running the script in the tempdir, but then maybe you
have to know where the original file lives.

switching LyX windows in Lyx 2.0 on Mac OS X

Dear Coleagues,
In LyX 1.6 it was possible to move from one LyX window to another with
Alt-' (alt-apostrophe).  In Lyx 2.0 this still works but modifies the

in that document).  Is there a way to avoid modifying the document?

Is it possible to distribute long headings on two lines in the text but on only one in the TOC?

[Påvel Nicklasson]

Sorry for the enigmatic title, English is not my first language.

What I am trying to do is to make some long headings evenly distributed  
over two lines in the text by using \\ in ERT. It works well with one  
exception: In the TOC the headings are cut in the same place as in the  
text. This looks rather ugly.


I use a two column layout (Koma book) so there is less space for headings  
in the text than in the TOC and manually corrected headings looks much  
better than a heading automatically justified by LyX with just a single  
word on the second line.

Undefined control sequence and the following error message:

*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've also tried to PDF just the smaller, included douments seperatly but get
the same error. I've looked everywhere for a solution and can't figure out
what's wrong, considering the document was fine a few weeks ago. Hope anyone

Re: moderncv template error to compile

[Manolo Martínez]

I have a similar problem. There are two crude ways for the document to
compile:

1. I've noticed that changing the style from classic to casual -- in
Document/Configuration/Preamble -- allows it to compile. 
2. commenting out the reference to the email (also in the preamble) does
the trick too.

This is enough for me for the time being; but I realise that it's not
ideal: maybe you prefer the classic style and/or cannot make do without
the e-mail field. I'd very much like to know of better solutions.

I come up with my solution number 2 because pdflatex does compile
a .tex exported by LyX -- after hitting enter a couple of times -- but,
in the e-mail field, shows the e-mail you introduced prefixed with
magenta. That is, in my case: magentaman...@austrohungaro.com. 
A very cool bug :) There must be a semicolon missing somewhere...

On 12/05/2011 11:04 AM, Diego Queiroz wrote:

Just curious, will pdftk preserve links between chapters? This seems

Pdftk output is exactly like the original file, so it keeps all links.
All links in the generated file will work if they point to an existent position.
For example, if there is a link for the chapter 10, but the chapter 10
is not in the file, that link will not work (obvious?).



I guess I wasn't precise enough. The PDF format supports links across 
files. The OP looks for a tool which does the split and rewrites the 
metadata so that links happen across the different pdf files. 
Apparently, pdftk is not this tool. But pdftk is based on iText which is 
very powerful, so I can imagine someone could hack at it do get this 
behavior. As I said, it's rather nontrivial, but it's not obvious that 
it cannot be done.


Nevertheless, pdftk is a great tool as it is.

 There's no support presently in LyX for naming the export directory,

 already.

For the time being, you can use the external elyxer (works even
without a LyX installation):

# elyxer --help

  * Usage: elyxer.py [options] [filein] [fileout]

 Hi all,

 I have written a couple of cygwin scripts to automate some time-consuming
 repetitive tasks and would like to be able to run these from within LyX, for
 example via a keyboard shortcut or a customized button on a toolbar. Is this
 sort of thing possible? If so, does anyone have advice on how to set it up?

 As an example, I like to use the pdfpages package to include external
 pdfs. However, I often use relative paths (e.g. when collaborating with
 co-authors on Dropbox and the like), and as we know LyX cannot handle this
 because of all the copying to temporary directories and so on that LyX
 prefers. So, I've written a very simple script to export the lyx file to tex
 and then compile using miktex. It would be great if I didn't have to fire up
 CygWin and type in the command and filename - rather, I'd prefer to
 designate a keyboard shortcut or menu option within LyX that would tell
 cygwin to run the script and pass it the current filename.

  The only real way to do this, so far as I know, is to define a converter
 that will call your script. This converter might, for example, replace
 pdflatex as a LaTeX--PDF converter. There are a number of ways to do this,
 so the best way will depend on the details.

Dear Richard,

Thanks a lot for this comment. What are some of the alternative ways to
define a converter, and what are the sort of details that would be useful to
know in deciding?

This particular task is incredibly simple (export to tex, compile), and I'm
not necessarily wedded to using CygWin, that's just what I happen to be most
comfortable with.

Converters are defined under ToolsPreferencesFile HandingConverters.
See section 3.3 of the Customization manual for the details of the
syntax. Basically, any stupid script can act as a converter. It just
needs to take certain arguments, and you need to tell LyX what they are.
Lots of converters are already defined there, so you can also mimic them.

However, the converter is executed in a temporary folder, which is

Well, I guess we'll see, but on reading this again it looks as if the

the copying to a tempdir. I guess my thought must have been that this
could be done by running the script in the tempdir, but then maybe you

switching LyX windows in Lyx 2.0 on Mac OS X

In LyX 1.6 it was possible to move from one LyX window to another with

Is it possible to distribute long headings on two lines in the text but on only one in the TOC?

[Påvel Nicklasson]

Sorry for the enigmatic title, English is not my first language.

What I am trying to do is to make some long headings evenly distributed  
over two lines in the text by using \\ in ERT. It works well with one  
exception: In the TOC the headings are cut in the same place as in the  
text. This looks rather ugly.


I use a two column layout (Koma book) so there is less space for headings  
in the text than in the TOC and manually corrected headings looks much  
better than a heading automatically justified by LyX with just a single  
word on the second line.


Is there a way to distribute headings on two lines in the text and on a  
single line in the TOC?

 Hi.

Hope someone can help me with this beacuse I'm getting desperate.

I use LYX version 1.6.9 on a XP-platform

I have a Masterdocument with several included files, I worked on this
document only a few weeks ago with no problems, but now I can't view it in
PDF anymore. When I press the "view PDF"-button i get a long list which says
"Undefined control sequence" and the following error message:


*\ltx@newglobalif *

* \ifGPT@pagecolor*

*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've also tried to PDF just the smaller, included douments seperatly but get
the same error. I've looked everywhere for a solution and can't figure out
what's wrong, considering the document was fine a few weeks ago. Hope anyone
can help me with this, and please keep in mind that I'm a novise to LYX and

Re: moderncv template error to compile

[Manolo Martínez]

I have a similar problem. There are two crude ways for the document to
compile:

1. I've noticed that changing the style from "classic" to "casual" -- in
Document/Configuration/Preamble -- allows it to compile. 
2. commenting out the reference to the email (also in the preamble) does
the trick too.

This is enough for me for the time being; but I realise that it's not
ideal: maybe you prefer the classic style and/or cannot make do without
the e-mail field. I'd very much like to know of better solutions.

I come up with my "solution" number 2 because pdflatex does compile
a .tex exported by LyX -- after hitting enter a couple of times -- but,
in the e-mail field, shows the e-mail you introduced prefixed with
"magenta". That is, in my case: magentaman...@austrohungaro.com. 
A very cool bug :) There must be a semicolon missing somewhere...

Hi Solvi. You should start little by little. Try creating a new document
exactly set up as your problematic document. Add only one paragraph to test
it, and compile. If you have some problem, start removing one line at a
time, the packages included in the preamble. Lets see how that goes before
proceeding.

Just curious, will pdftk preserve links between chapters? This seems

Pdftk output is exactly like the original file, so it keeps all links.
All links in the generated file will work if they point to an existent position.
For example, if there is a link for the chapter 10, but the chapter 10
is not in the file, that link will not work (obvious?).



I guess I wasn't precise enough. The PDF format supports links across 
files. The OP looks for a tool which does the split and rewrites the 
metadata so that links happen across the different pdf files. 
Apparently, pdftk is not this tool. But pdftk is based on iText which is 
very powerful, so I can imagine someone could hack at it do get this 
behavior. As I said, it's rather nontrivial, but it's not obvious that 
it cannot be done.


Nevertheless, pdftk is a great tool as it is.

The Context menu > Insert short title solution seems to work very well
for my purposes. It is strange how easy solutions in LyX are when you
discover them!

Thank you both!

Hi

There are many ways to do this, but I suggest that you use chapter*
and format the linebreaks (CTRL+ENTER) where you want them and then i
ERT add just after chapter* add:
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{This a long text with the name of the
Chapter}

Short title is the solution for me too. By the way, you can use 
ctrl+enter to enter a linebreak in lyx (a \\ in latex).

I'm curious what is your use case which requires ERT for includegraphics 
? Since LyX supports inclusion of any graphics format and does the 
conversion for me, I dare not go back to plain latex, unless I need 
really high quality eps and pdf.

Re: How to type a text over arrow?

[Ernesto Posse]

The first link from Diego's search shows the LaTeX way to do it.

In LyX, open a math box (e.g. ctrl-M) and type

l \xrightarrow{g,s,r,u} l'

Re: Undefined control sequence

[Julio Rojas]

I know it is hard work, but I suspect it has nothing to do with the text
itself, but with latex installation. This is why I suggested doing not a
totally backtrace on your big file, but a controlled test case on a similar
document. Also, as Richard suggested, send the first error you find in the
log for help from the list.

Regards and good luck.

For the time being, you can use the external elyxer (works even
without a LyX installation):

#> elyxer --help

  * Usage: elyxer.py [options] [filein] [fileout]
  * Convert LyX input file "filein" to HTML file "fileout".
  * If filein (or fileout) is not given use standard input (or output).
  * Main program of the eLyXer package (http://elyxer.nongnu.org/).

Dear Richard,

Thanks a lot for this comment. What are some of the alternative ways to
define a converter, and what are the sort of details that would be useful to
know in deciding?

This particular task is incredibly simple (export to tex, compile), and I'm
not necessarily wedded to using CygWin, that's just what I happen to be most
comfortable with.

Converters are defined under Tools>Preferences>File Handing>Converters.
See section 3.3 of the Customization manual for the details of the
syntax. Basically, any stupid script can act as a converter. It just
needs to take certain arguments, and you need to tell LyX what they are.
Lots of converters are already defined there, so you can also mimic them.

However, the converter is executed in a temporary folder, which is 
precisely what the user wanted to avoid (and the reason to write the 
script in the first place). I miss how you can get around this.
