comment command for figures or text in Lyx

[Eisa Ayed]

Hi,

is there anyway to comment figures or text in lyx?

for text I know the % character in ERT
but I do not know how to comment figures in Lyx.
by comment I mean simply do not show them in the output file.

Thanks,

You can use draft mode. Click the figure, go to LaTeX and LyX
options, then enable draft mode. Your pdf output will not show the
figure, but the name of the file.
You can see in Users' Guide, Section 4.4

Actually, I believe they prefer to have the *.tex and *.bbl (not the *.bib), as

Hi!

The *.bbl should be automatically created by bibtex, so after doing pdflatex; 
bibtex; pdflatex; pdflatex, you should have the required *.bbl file in your 
working directory, if you look carefully ;-)


Btw, recently I also had problems submitting to Elsevier. For some reason they 
couldn't process my manuscript using pdflatex. However, it worked fine on

LyX can use either a LaTeX font if there is a LaTeX package for it (in 
which case you should look up how to install latex packages) or system 
fonts using xetex (in which case, look up how to install system fonts). 
XeTeX might be the easiest. Select system fonts (non-latex fonts) from

Hi,

1. When using crossref, the order of the entries in the .bib file 
matters. If I recall correctly, an entry with a crossref tag must appear 
before the crossref'ed entry. The reverse order will cause a warning, 
maybe even an error.
2. You should make sure both of you have up-to-date latex installations. 
Compare the versions of the packages which you use. Make sure you use 
the same versions.
To avoid this you could also put your xz-code on its own in a separate 
file, generate an .eps file from it, and include your figure as .eps in LyX.

Julien

We have to bind inset-edit to something. AFAIR, the problem was to find 
a good shortcut. In the past, inset-toggle would do inset-edit when 
there was nothing to toggle. This is not acceptable now that we have 
collapsable insets that have settings.

Split one lyx file into multiple books

Hi,
I am finishing a book (one lyx file), but my editor asked me to split it into 
two volumes. Since there are a lot of references to section between those 
volumes, I want to known if there exists a way to manage these references 
automatically (with something like I.1.2 or II.2.3).

Re: Split one lyx file into multiple books

I found a link that explains how to do it :

It is not particularly intuitive, but it seems to work (I will try it in the
following days). It needs to manipulate LaTeX files (so exporting the LyX file
every time a change occurs in the section numbering).
It could perhaps be an interesting feature for future versions of LyX by
importing directly all the references declared in a given LyX file.

latex fonts

[Virgil Arrington]

Dear all,

I’ve been using Latex and LyX for about a year now. I like LyX’s GUI which 
insulates me from having to type in all the commands. But, I have a question.

My Latex distribution has many fonts installed on it. My favorite is Linux 
Libertine, which is complete with OSF and true small caps, etc.

But, Libertine is not listed in LyX’s drop down list of fonts even though it is 
part of my latex distribution. The drop down list only seems to list the 
“standard” Latex fonts. Is there any way to get LyX to recognize all of the 
fonts that are included in my Latex distribution. I’m using Miktex 2.9. When 
installing Miktex, I chose the option to install the complete distribution and 
it seems to have more fonts than are recognized by LyX.

Thanks,

Virgil Arrington

Re: submitting paper in latex (tex) format

[Manolo Martínez]

Some of us use scripts to automate the process that is bothering you. 
The ticket
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/4624 includes a couple of these scripts. 
The one I use, IncludeBib.py, takes a LyX file as input and outputs a 
.tex file with the biblography included, which is what some publishers 
ask for. You may want to try that.

LaTeX (via the libertine package).

 But, Libertine is not listed in LyX’s drop down list of fonts even though it

Even not all fonts of the LaTeX core...

 Is there any way to get LyX to recognize all of the fonts that are
 included in my Latex distribution.

No. Better support for more of the font packages is a long standing feature
request. You might want to vote for the relevant ticket at bugs.lyx.org.

For the time beeing:

* set (or leave) the font(s) as [Default]

* read the font-package's documentation

* insert the command(s) and options recommended there in the LaTeX preamble.

As screen-font and print-font are de-coupled anyway, there is no
disadvantage of this approach once the correct command (usually a 
\usepackage{the-font-package}) is in place.

Alternatively,

 In LyX 2.0, you can use 'non-TeX fonts' and choose Linux Libertine 
 Biolinum if these are installed on your system. Then you will compile
 your documents with XeTeX.

Re: submitting paper in latex (tex) format

[ehud.kap...@gmail.com]

This can be confusing to the uninitiated, and it could use some automation.
Having been through this a few times, I prefer to do it this way:

1. Export to latex (plain) from Lyx
2. pdflatex filenm
3. bibtex filenm (if you use a latex-aware editor like WinEdt under
   Windows, or Kile under Linux they will run bibtex for you
   automatically) to produce a .bbl file in your working directory
4. Using an editor (WinEdt or Kile) add the .bbl file to the end of the
   latex document just before \end{document}.
5. Just before the place where you inserted the .bbl file, insert the
   latex command: \begin{thebibliography}{}
6. Just before \end{document} insert: \end{thebibliography}
7. Comment out the \bibliography{bibfilename} latex statement.
8. Compile the latex file.

The advantage is this approach is that now you can send the journal only 
one latex file for them to compile.
In addition, in the (unlikely) event that your paper is rejected, you 
can import the latex file into Lyx, and at the end of the Lyx document 
you now have all the references, which you can edit if the reviewers 
noticed that you did not quote their work...

Re: [Lyx to Latex] XY-PIC figures and crossref tag

[Eisa Ayed]

Forgive my ignorance, how can I convert my xymatrix to .eps?

I found the following way:
1.for each xymatrix create a separate lyx file.
2. export each file to .tex 
3. run latex fileName
4. run dvips -E -o fileName.eps fileName.dvi 

I found this tedious if I have 10 xymatrix figures, is there another/simpler 
way?

Also after inserting the figures, each figure takes the whole page for 
displaying, how can I crop the figure?

Split one lyx file into multiple books

Hi,
I am finishing a book (one lyx file), but my editor asked me to split it into 
two volumes. Since there are a lot of references to section between those 
volumes, I want to known if there exists a way to manage these references 
automatically (with something like I.1.2 or II.2.3).

latex fonts

[Virgil Arrington]

Dear all,

I’ve been using Latex and LyX for about a year now. I like LyX’s GUI which 
insulates me from having to type in all the commands. But, I have a question.

My Latex distribution has many fonts installed on it. My favorite is Linux 
Libertine, which is complete with OSF and true small caps, etc.

But, Libertine is not listed in LyX’s drop down list of fonts even though it is 
part of my latex distribution. The drop down list only seems to list the 
“standard” Latex fonts. Is there any way to get LyX to recognize all of the 
fonts that are included in my Latex distribution. I’m using Miktex 2.9. When 
installing Miktex, I chose the option to install the complete distribution and 
it seems to have more fonts than are recognized by LyX.

Thanks,

Even not all fonts of the LaTeX core...

 Is there any way to get LyX to recognize all of the fonts that are

No. Better support for more of the font packages is a long standing feature
request. You might want to vote for the relevant ticket at bugs.lyx.org.

For the time beeing:

* set (or leave) the font(s) as [Default]

* read the font-package's documentation

* insert the command(s) and options recommended there in the LaTeX preamble.

As screen-font and print-font are de-coupled anyway, there is no
disadvantage of this approach once the correct command (usually a 
\usepackage{the-font-package}) is in place.

Alternatively,

 In LyX 2.0, you can use 'non-TeX fonts' and choose Linux Libertine 
 Biolinum if these are installed on your system. Then you will compile
 your documents with XeTeX.

Re: submitting paper in latex (tex) format

[ehud.kap...@gmail.com]

This can be confusing to the uninitiated, and it could use some automation.
Having been through this a few times, I prefer to do it this way:

1. Export to latex (plain) from Lyx
2. pdflatex filenm
3. bibtex filenm (if you use a latex-aware editor like WinEdt under
   Windows, or Kile under Linux they will run bibtex for you
   automatically) to produce a .bbl file in your working directory
4. Using an editor (WinEdt or Kile) add the .bbl file to the end of the
   latex document just before \end{document}.
5. Just before the place where you inserted the .bbl file, insert the
   latex command: \begin{thebibliography}{}
6. Just before \end{document} insert: \end{thebibliography}
7. Comment out the \bibliography{bibfilename} latex statement.
8. Compile the latex file.

The advantage is this approach is that now you can send the journal only 
one latex file for them to compile.
In addition, in the (unlikely) event that your paper is rejected, you 
can import the latex file into Lyx, and at the end of the Lyx document 
you now have all the references, which you can edit if the reviewers 
noticed that you did not quote their work...

Hi!

The *.bbl should be automatically created by bibtex, so after doing

Re: [Lyx to Latex] XY-PIC figures and crossref tag

[Eisa Ayed]

Forgive my ignorance, how can I convert my xymatrix to .eps?

I found the following way:
1.for each xymatrix create a separate lyx file.
2. export each file to .tex 
3. run latex fileName
4. run dvips -E -o fileName.eps fileName.dvi 

I found this tedious if I have 10 xymatrix figures, is there another/simpler 
way?

Also after inserting the figures, each figure takes the whole page for 
displaying, how can I crop the figure?

You can use "draft mode". Click the figure, go to "LaTeX and LyX
options", then enable "draft mode". Your pdf output will not show the
figure, but the name of the file.
You can see in Users' Guide, Section 4.4

LyX can use either a LaTeX font if there is a LaTeX package for it (in 
which case you should look up how to install latex packages) or system 
fonts using xetex (in which case, look up how to install system fonts). 
XeTeX might be the easiest. Select system fonts (non-latex fonts) from

Actually, there is also a version of Libertine for use with traditional
LaTeX (via the "libertine" package).

Even not all fonts of the LaTeX core...

No. Better support for more of the font packages is a long standing feature
request. You might want to vote for the relevant ticket at bugs.lyx.org.

For the time beeing:

* set (or leave) the font(s) as [Default]

* read the font-package's documentation

* insert the command(s) and options recommended there in the "LaTeX preamble".

As screen-font and print-font are "de-coupled" anyway, there is no
disadvantage of this approach once the correct command (usually a 
\usepackage{the-font-package}) is in place.

You might try with a "mock parent document" (that includes both files and
is set as parent in both volumes) to "cheat" LyX into providing the
references of both files in the dialogue(s).

It turns out this is a bug in the version of hyperref.sty that Jure is using
(http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/15783/undefined-control-sequence-hyperlink-error).

Re: submitting paper in latex (tex) format

[ehud.kap...@gmail.com]

This can be confusing to the uninitiated, and it could use some automation.
Having been through this a few times, I prefer to do it this way:

1. Export to latex (plain) from Lyx
2. pdflatex filenm
3. bibtex filenm (if you use a latex-aware editor like WinEdt under
   Windows, or Kile under Linux they will run bibtex for you
   automatically) to produce a .bbl file in your working directory
4. Using an editor (WinEdt or Kile) add the .bbl file to the end of the
   latex document just before \end{document}.
5. Just before the place where you inserted the .bbl file, insert the
   latex command: \begin{thebibliography}{}
6. Just before \end{document} insert: \end{thebibliography}
7. Comment out the \bibliography{bibfilename} latex statement.
8. Compile the latex file.

The advantage is this approach is that now you can send the journal only 
one latex file for them to compile.
In addition, in the (unlikely) event that your paper is rejected, you 
can import the latex file into Lyx, and at the end of the Lyx document 
you now have all the references, which you can edit if the reviewers 
noticed that you did not quote their work...

I think you are correct. My files could been processed by elsevier
electronic system, the generated pdf prints the tex sources.
How can I get bbl. I always use bib file (from JabRef). Any link
information to learn this?


Hi!

The *.bbl should be automatically created by bibtex, so after doing 
"pdflatex; bibtex; pdflatex; pdflatex", you should have the required 
*.bbl file in your working directory, if you look carefully ;-)


Btw, recently I also had problems submitting to Elsevier. For some 
reason they couldn't process my manuscript using pdflatex. However, it 
worked fine on arxiv.org... I notified them about the problem, and 
they ended up asking me for a PDF instead. :-)

Re: [Lyx to Latex] XY-PIC figures and crossref tag

[Eisa Ayed]

Forgive my ignorance, how can I convert my xymatrix to .eps?

I found the following way:
1.for each xymatrix create a separate lyx file.
2. export each file to .tex 
3. run latex fileName
4. run dvips -E -o fileName.eps fileName.dvi 

I found this tedious if I have 10 xymatrix figures, is there another/simpler 
way?

Also after inserting the figures, each figure takes the whole page for 
displaying, how can I crop the figure? 

Thank you for your patience, 
~Eisa
