Re: Package varioref Sweave error

Hello Xu,

I don't mean to be parental, but this should be a good reminder to you that
 it's always good to save frequently and to save many different versions.
 Ideally you should look into a version control system (which LyX actually
 supports!), but at the least, make multiple backups, and not just one one
 machine.


Or, to remember that a back up exists!!

All my documents are in a Dropbox folder which is then synced to three
different computers including one off site, as well as the Dropbox servers.


Dropbox records a snapshot of every save for the last 30 days, and saves
them on their server. They also do a paid version which saves snapshots for
longer than 30 days.

I save frequently, indeed looking at the log on Dropbox I seem to save
every  two to three minutes and I have 22 pages of snapshots.

I had forgotten all about this until your comments above.  However, the
free Dropbox solution isn't going to help if I come back to a document in 6
months time, as it only keeps the versions for 30 days, rather than keeping
30 days worth of versions (if you see what I mean), which I hadn't
realised. So I will need to think about that, and thanks fro raising it.

Then use SpiderOak [1]. (I also mention it in [2], section 1.3.) It's
a cross-platform alternative, somewhat more flexible and with slightly
more overhead when it comes to syncing, but it keeps past versions
indefinitely (while they---the diff parts---count towards your quota
of 2GB) which requires some periodic clean-up. It has a steeper
learning curve than Dropbox, but if you put one hour worth of effort
then you'll be quickly up to speed.

A last point is that it treats privacy seriously: your data is
encrypted on your computer and kept encrypted on their servers, while
they don't have a record of your password (don't lose it!). Dropbox
uses encryption only for transfer, meaning that all your data are
stored in plain view on the servers.

Re: Package varioref Sweave error

Thanks Liviu,

I have used Spider Oak in the past, and it was fine and more flexible that
Dropbox (but Dropbox has improved) and every so often I think about using
it for cloud backups,and keeping Dropbox for syncing.

And as an aside, Dropbox does use encryption for their servers: from
http://www.dropbox.com/help/27

Dropbox uses modern encryption methods to both transfer and store your
data.

   - Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and AES-256 bit encryption
   - Dropbox website and client software have been hardened against attacks
   from hackers
   - Public files are only viewable by people who have a link to the
   file(s). Public folders are not browsable or searchable

Dropbox uses Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) for storage, which has a
robust security policy of its own. You can find more information on
Amazon's data security from the S3
sitehttp://aws.amazon.com/articles/1697or, read more about how
Dropbox and Amazon securely stores data http://www.dropbox.com/help/7. 

I don't know enough about it to know how secure this is, but it doesn't
suggest the data are in simply in plain view on their servers.

Yes, I also tend to do this. But I'm hoping that SpiderOak can improve
its handling just a tiny little bit (all is needed is adding an
optional 'SpiderOak' category that behaves like the Dropbox folder),
so I'll be able to drop Dropbox for good.

My memory (or eyes) must have played a trick on me. From what I've
read, however, in the Dropbox case this is irrelevant. They have a
permanent record of your password, meaning that a government officer
with a subpoena (or a misbehaving employee) would have ready access to
your data. They know how to and can decrypt your data: don't store
anything sensitive on the Dropbox servers.

In the SpiderOak case, they don't know your password (unless,
temporarily, you log onto their website), and encryption happens
consistently on the client side. This means that SpiderOak employees
cannot access your data at any moment, even if they wanted to
(anyways, this is according to their published policies). You lose
your password, you permanently lose your data.

  Please check the pages in question. You might need to replace the \vref
 
 or \vpageref by a normal \(page)ref to stop LaTeX running forever.
 
 
 Is there an obvious solution to this,

Read the varioref documentation:


5 A few warnings

Defining commands like the ones described above poses some interesting 
problems. Suppose, for example, that a generated text like ‘on the next page’ 
gets broken across pages. If this happens it is very difficult to find an 
acceptable solution and in fact can even result in a document that will always 
change from one state to another (i.e., inserting one string, finding that 
this is wrong, inserting another string on the next run which makes the first 
string correct again, inserting ...). The current implementation of varioref 
therefore issues an error message whenever the generated text is broken across 
page boundaries, e.g., 

table 5 on the current ⟨page break⟩ page

would result in an error, which needs to be resolved by the user by replacing 
the \vref command with an ordinary \ref just before the final run. This is not 
completely satisfactory but in such case no solution really is. During 
document preparation, while one is still changing the text, such error 
messages can be turned into warnings by placing a \vrefwarning command in the 
preamble. This is equivalent to specifying “draft” as an option to the 
package. \vrefshowerrors ensures that varioref stops when detecting a possible 
loop. This is the default and equivalent to specifying “final” as an option.

At the end final a warning: every use of \vref will internally generate two
macro names to keep track of the string positions within the document. As a
result you may run out of name space or main memory if you make heavy use of
this macro on a small TEX installation. For this reason the primitive command
\fullref is also provided. This command can be used whenever you know for
sure that label and reference can’t fall onto nearby pages.

After you log onto their website, to decrypt your data on the server
side the SpiderOak website needs to use your password. See [1].
When you access your data from the desktop app, the data is shipped
encrypted from the server and gets decrypted on the client
side---thus, according to their stated policy, unless you use their
web interface SpiderOak never learns your password. All the
encrypting/decrypting process happens on your computer.

Or maybe pgfpages (part of the pgf package by the beamer author), where you 
can put several slides on a (e.g. A4) paper; I suppose this makes it easier to 
include other (e.g. A4-sized) documents.

See the pgfmanual (sec. 58) for detals.

Yes. At any point you want to include a PDF page as external material,
after the last frame insert
\lyxframeend{}
\setbeamertemplate{background canvas}{}

as ERT, or use the environment 'EndFrame' instead of the
\lyxframeend{}. Then include as many Insert  File  Material  PDF as
you wish. When you're done with the PDF pages, insert 'BeginFrame' as
usual. If your PDF pages are not scaled up as you were expecting, then
look into the 'pdfpages' docs and specifically the options for
'\includepdf': you can specify these by clicking on the PDF page and
going to the 'LaTeX and LyX options'.

It may be worth documenting the above in EmbeddedObjects.lyx section
7.1. Or clone the beamer.lyx template and explain how PDF pages are
inserted.

 Read the varioref documentation:

If I was running Latex then fine, but how does this translate into action

Well, I think the procedure is pretty much the same. You can turn the error 
into a warning by adding the respective command to the preamble, and then you 
should check the respective reference on the page which you are pointed at, 
and replace the \vref (ref on page page or on page page) with a 
simple \ref (reference) or some manual phrase.

The only obstacle is to find out which of the LyX reference types refers to 
\vref and friends. View  Source helps you on that.

Error: Argument of \everypar has an extra }. when trying to use a wrap figure float in an Hebrew document

[ori.alberton]

Hi

I'm trying to insert a wrap figure float in an Hebrew document (class is
article(hebrew)).
When I try to compile the DVI I receive the following error:
Argument of \everypar has an extra }. 

I've seen older posts on this issue in various websites, but none of them
had an answer.
I use Lyx 2.0.0 with MikTex 2.9 on a windows 7 64bit machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

howto automate Tex macro ?

[lalebarde]

Hi all,

I would like to reproduce the \LyX{} or \LaTeX{} macros. When LyX or
LaTeX are in a LyX file, they are processed as if the Tex code \LyX{} or
\LaTeX{} was used.

When I look at the code, there is a macro definition :

/%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
\providecommand{\LyX}{\texorpdfstring%
  {L\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{Y}\kern-.125emX\@}
  {LyX}}/

If I try to do the same in the preambule of my LyX file : 

/\providecommand{\PoK}{\texorpdfstring%
  {P\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{O}\kern-.125emK\@}
  {PoK}}/

Simply writing PoK in the LyX file does not produce anything special in
the pdf. Only if I write the Tex code \Pok{}, I get the right result.

How can it be done please ?

version control systems are the best for this.

Good point. I have just tried, and with SpiderOak you can easily
download two historic versions of a file, and then diff them using
Meld or similar. So this can be done, too.

For simplistic usage, the big thingy missing from dropbox-like
solutions is a log entry for each backup. This is why I tend to have a

different computers including one off site, as well as the Dropbox servers.


Dropbox records a snapshot of every save for the last 30 days, and saves
them on their server. They also do a paid version which saves snapshots for
longer than 30 days.

I save frequently, indeed looking at the log on Dropbox I seem to save
every  two to three minutes and I have 22 pages of snapshots.

I had forgotten all about this until your comments above.  However, the
free Dropbox solution isn't going to help if I come back to a document in 6
months time, as it only keeps the versions for 30 days, rather than keeping
30 days worth of versions (if you see what I mean), which I hadn't
realised. So I will need to think about that, and thanks fro raising it.

Then use SpiderOak [1]. (I also mention it in [2], section 1.3.) It's
a cross-platform alternative, somewhat more flexible and with slightly
more overhead when it comes to syncing, but it keeps past versions
indefinitely (while they---the diff parts---count towards your quota
of 2GB) which requires some periodic clean-up. It has a steeper
learning curve than Dropbox, but if you put one hour worth of effort
then you'll be quickly up to speed.

encrypted on your computer and kept encrypted on their servers, while
they don't have a record of your password (don't lose it!). Dropbox
uses encryption only for transfer, meaning that all your data are

Thanks Liviu,

I have used Spider Oak in the past, and it was fine and more flexible that
Dropbox (but Dropbox has improved) and every so often I think about using
it for cloud backups,and keeping Dropbox for syncing.

And as an aside, Dropbox does use encryption for their servers: from
http://www.dropbox.com/help/27

Dropbox uses modern encryption methods to both transfer and store your
data.

   - Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and AES-256 bit encryption
   - Dropbox website and client software have been hardened against attacks
   from hackers
   - Public files are only viewable by people who have a link to the
   file(s). Public folders are not browsable or searchable

Dropbox uses Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) for storage, which has a
robust security policy of its own. You can find more information on
Amazon's data security from the S3
sitehttp://aws.amazon.com/articles/1697or, read more about how
Dropbox and Amazon securely stores data http://www.dropbox.com/help/7. 

I don't know enough about it to know how secure this is, but it doesn't
suggest the data are in simply in plain view on their servers.

Yes, I also tend to do this. But I'm hoping that SpiderOak can improve
its handling just a tiny little bit (all is needed is adding an
optional 'SpiderOak' category that behaves like the Dropbox folder),
so I'll be able to drop Dropbox for good.

My memory (or eyes) must have played a trick on me. From what I've
read, however, in the Dropbox case this is irrelevant. They have a
permanent record of your password, meaning that a government officer
with a subpoena (or a misbehaving employee) would have ready access to
your data. They know how to and can decrypt your data: don't store
anything sensitive on the Dropbox servers.

In the SpiderOak case, they don't know your password (unless,
temporarily, you log onto their website), and encryption happens
consistently on the client side. This means that SpiderOak employees
cannot access your data at any moment, even if they wanted to
(anyways, this is according to their published policies). You lose
your password, you permanently lose your data.

  Please check the pages in question. You might need to replace the \vref
 
 or \vpageref by a normal \(page)ref to stop LaTeX running forever.
 
 
 Is there an obvious solution to this,

Read the varioref documentation:


5 A few warnings

Defining commands like the ones described above poses some interesting 
problems. Suppose, for example, that a generated text like ‘on the next page’ 
gets broken across pages. If this happens it is very difficult to find an 
acceptable solution and in fact can even result in a document that will always 
change from one state to another (i.e., inserting one string, finding that 
this is wrong, inserting another string on the next run which makes the first 
string correct again, inserting ...). The current implementation of varioref 
therefore issues an error message whenever the generated text is broken across 
page boundaries, e.g., 

table 5 on the current ⟨page break⟩ page

would result in an error, which needs to be resolved by the user by replacing 
the \vref command with an ordinary \ref just before the final run. This is not 
completely satisfactory but in such case no solution really is. During 
document preparation, while one is still changing the text, such error 
messages can be turned into warnings by placing a \vrefwarning command in the 
preamble. This is equivalent to specifying “draft” as an option to the 
package. \vrefshowerrors ensures that varioref stops when detecting a possible 
loop. This is the default and equivalent to specifying “final” as an option.

At the end final a warning: every use of \vref will internally generate two
macro names to keep track of the string positions within the document. As a
result you may run out of name space or main memory if you make heavy use of
this macro on a small TEX installation. For this reason the primitive command
\fullref is also provided. This command can be used whenever you know for
sure that label and reference can’t fall onto nearby pages.

After you log onto their website, to decrypt your data on the server
side the SpiderOak website needs to use your password. See [1].
When you access your data from the desktop app, the data is shipped
encrypted from the server and gets decrypted on the client
side---thus, according to their stated policy, unless you use their
web interface SpiderOak never learns your password. All the
encrypting/decrypting process happens on your computer.

Or maybe pgfpages (part of the pgf package by the beamer author), where you

Yes. At any point you want to include a PDF page as external material,
after the last frame insert
\lyxframeend{}
\setbeamertemplate{background canvas}{}

as ERT, or use the environment 'EndFrame' instead of the
\lyxframeend{}. Then include as many Insert  File  Material  PDF as
you wish. When you're done with the PDF pages, insert 'BeginFrame' as
usual. If your PDF pages are not scaled up as you were expecting, then
look into the 'pdfpages' docs and specifically the options for
'\includepdf': you can specify these by clicking on the PDF page and
going to the 'LaTeX and LyX options'.

It may be worth documenting the above in EmbeddedObjects.lyx section
7.1. Or clone the beamer.lyx template and explain how PDF pages are
inserted.

 Read the varioref documentation:

If I was running Latex then fine, but how does this translate into action

Well, I think the procedure is pretty much the same. You can turn the error 
into a warning by adding the respective command to the preamble, and then you 
should check the respective reference on the page which you are pointed at, 
and replace the \vref (ref on page page or on page page) with a 
simple \ref (reference) or some manual phrase.

The only obstacle is to find out which of the LyX reference types refers to 
\vref and friends. View  Source helps you on that.

Error: Argument of \everypar has an extra }. when trying to use a wrap figure float in an Hebrew document

[ori.alberton]

Hi

I'm trying to insert a wrap figure float in an Hebrew document (class is
article(hebrew)).
When I try to compile the DVI I receive the following error:
Argument of \everypar has an extra }. 

I've seen older posts on this issue in various websites, but none of them
had an answer.
I use Lyx 2.0.0 with MikTex 2.9 on a windows 7 64bit machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

howto automate Tex macro ?

[lalebarde]

Hi all,

I would like to reproduce the \LyX{} or \LaTeX{} macros. When LyX or
LaTeX are in a LyX file, they are processed as if the Tex code \LyX{} or
\LaTeX{} was used.

When I look at the code, there is a macro definition :

/%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
\providecommand{\LyX}{\texorpdfstring%
  {L\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{Y}\kern-.125emX\@}
  {LyX}}/

If I try to do the same in the preambule of my LyX file : 

/\providecommand{\PoK}{\texorpdfstring%
  {P\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{O}\kern-.125emK\@}
  {PoK}}/

Simply writing PoK in the LyX file does not produce anything special in
the pdf. Only if I write the Tex code \Pok{}, I get the right result.

How can it be done please ?

version control systems are the best for this.

Good point. I have just tried, and with SpiderOak you can easily
download two historic versions of a file, and then diff them using
Meld or similar. So this can be done, too.

For simplistic usage, the big thingy missing from dropbox-like
solutions is a log entry for each backup. This is why I tend to have a

I had forgotten all about this until your comments above.  However, the
free Dropbox solution isn't going to help if I come back to a document in 6
months time, as it only keeps the versions for 30 days, rather than keeping
30 days worth of versions (if you see what I mean), which I hadn't
realised. So I will need to think about that, and thanks fro raising it.

Then use SpiderOak [1]. (I also mention it in [2], section 1.3.) It's
a cross-platform alternative, somewhat more flexible and with slightly
more overhead when it comes to syncing, but it keeps past versions
indefinitely (while they---the diff parts---count towards your quota
of 2GB) which requires some periodic clean-up. It has a steeper
learning curve than Dropbox, but if you put one hour worth of effort
then you'll be quickly up to speed.

A last point is that it treats privacy seriously: your data is
encrypted on your computer and kept encrypted on their servers, while
they don't have a record of your password (don't lose it!). Dropbox
uses encryption only for transfer, meaning that all your data are
stored in plain view on the servers.

Re: Package varioref Sweave error

Thanks Liviu,

I have used Spider Oak in the past, and it was fine and more flexible that
Dropbox (but Dropbox has improved) and every so often I think about using
it for cloud backups,and keeping Dropbox for syncing.

And as an aside, Dropbox does use encryption for their servers: from
http://www.dropbox.com/help/27

"Dropbox uses modern encryption methods to both transfer and store your
data.

   - Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and AES-256 bit encryption
   - Dropbox website and client software have been hardened against attacks
   from hackers
   - Public files are only viewable by people who have a link to the
   file(s). Public folders are not browsable or searchable

Dropbox uses Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) for storage, which has a
robust security policy of its own. You can find more information on
Amazon's data security from the S3
siteor, read more about how
Dropbox and Amazon securely stores data . "

I don't know enough about it to know "how" secure this is, but it doesn't
suggest the data are in simply in plain view on their servers.

Yes, I also tend to do this. But I'm hoping that SpiderOak can improve
its handling just a tiny little bit (all is needed is adding an
optional 'SpiderOak' category that behaves like the Dropbox folder),
so I'll be able to drop Dropbox for good.

My memory (or eyes) must have played a trick on me. From what I've
read, however, in the Dropbox case this is irrelevant. They have a
permanent record of your password, meaning that a government officer
with a subpoena (or a misbehaving employee) would have ready access to
your data. They know how to and can decrypt your data: don't store
anything sensitive on the Dropbox servers.

In the SpiderOak case, they don't know your password (unless,
temporarily, you log onto their website), and encryption happens
consistently on the client side. This means that SpiderOak employees
cannot access your data at any moment, even if they wanted to
(anyways, this is according to their published policies). You lose
your password, you permanently lose your data.

Read the varioref documentation:


5 A few warnings

Defining commands like the ones described above poses some interesting 
problems. Suppose, for example, that a generated text like ‘on the next page’ 
gets broken across pages. If this happens it is very difficult to find an 
acceptable solution and in fact can even result in a document that will always 
change from one state to another (i.e., inserting one string, finding that 
this is wrong, inserting another string on the next run which makes the first 
string correct again, inserting ...). The current implementation of varioref 
therefore issues an error message whenever the generated text is broken across 
page boundaries, e.g., 

table 5 on the current ⟨page break⟩ page

would result in an error, which needs to be resolved by the user by replacing 
the \vref command with an ordinary \ref just before the final run. This is not 
completely satisfactory but in such case no solution really is. During 
document preparation, while one is still changing the text, such error 
messages can be turned into warnings by placing a \vrefwarning command in the 
preamble. This is equivalent to specifying “draft” as an option to the 
package. \vrefshowerrors ensures that varioref stops when detecting a possible 
loop. This is the default and equivalent to specifying “final” as an option.

At the end final a warning: every use of \vref will internally generate two
macro names to keep track of the string positions within the document. As a
result you may run out of name space or main memory if you make heavy use of
this macro on a small TEX installation. For this reason the primitive command
\fullref is also provided. This command can be used whenever you know for
sure that label and reference can’t fall onto nearby pages.

Spideroak (and any other such service) uses the https protocol, which encrypts 
all data transfers, and surely only (one-way) encrypted passwords are stored on 
their servers. Logging in to their website won't reveal your password.

After you log onto their website, to decrypt your data on the server
side the SpiderOak website needs to use your password. See [1].
When you access your data from the desktop app, the data is shipped
encrypted from the server and gets decrypted on the client
side---thus, according to their stated policy, unless you use their
web interface SpiderOak never learns your password. All the
encrypting/decrypting process happens on your computer.

Or maybe pgfpages (part of the pgf package by the beamer author), where you 
can put several slides on a (e.g. A4) paper; I suppose this makes it easier to 
include other (e.g. A4-sized) documents.

See the pgfmanual (sec. 58) for detals.

Yes. At any point you want to include a PDF page as external material,
after the last frame insert
\lyxframeend{}
\setbeamertemplate{background canvas}{}

as ERT, or use the environment 'EndFrame' instead of the
\lyxframeend{}. Then include as many Insert > File > Material > PDF as
you wish. When you're done with the PDF pages, insert 'BeginFrame' as
usual. If your PDF pages are not scaled up as you were expecting, then
look into the 'pdfpages' docs and specifically the options for
'\includepdf': you can specify these by clicking on the PDF page and
going to the 'LaTeX and LyX options'.

It may be worth documenting the above in EmbeddedObjects.lyx section
7.1. Or clone the beamer.lyx template and explain how PDF pages are
inserted.

Well, I think the procedure is pretty much the same. You can turn the error 
into a warning by adding the respective command to the preamble, and then you 
should check the respective reference on the page which you are pointed at, 
and replace the \vref (" on page " or "on page ") with a 
simple \ref ("") or some manual phrase.

The only obstacle is to find out which of the LyX reference types refers to 
\vref and friends. View > Source helps you on that.

Error: "Argument of \everypar has an extra }." when trying to use a wrap figure float in an Hebrew document

[ori.alberton]

Hi

I'm trying to insert a wrap figure float in an Hebrew document (class is
article(hebrew)).
When I try to compile the DVI I receive the following error:
"Argument of \everypar has an extra }." 

I've seen older posts on this issue in various websites, but none of them
had an answer.
I use Lyx 2.0.0 with MikTex 2.9 on a windows 7 64bit machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ori

howto automate Tex macro ?

[lalebarde]

Hi all,

I would like to reproduce the \LyX{} or \LaTeX{} macros. When "LyX" or
"LaTeX" are in a LyX file, they are processed as if the Tex code "\LyX{}" or
"\LaTeX{}" was used.

When I look at the code, there is a macro definition :

/%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
\providecommand{\LyX}{\texorpdfstring%
  {L\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{Y}\kern-.125emX\@}
  {LyX}}/

If I try to do the same in the preambule of my LyX file : 

/\providecommand{\PoK}{\texorpdfstring%
  {P\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{O}\kern-.125emK\@}
  {PoK}}/

Simply writing "PoK" in the LyX file does not produce anything special in
the pdf. Only if I write the Tex code "\Pok{}", I get the right result.

How can it be done please ?

Graham,

That's interesting! haha yes, sometimes I have a similar problem of knowing
I made a backup but forgetting where. That's why I'm switching to using a
version control system. I think these are better than and dropbox-like
alternative because of regressions. You often don't want to go back to a

version control systems are the best for this.

Glad everything is fine!

Good point. I have just tried, and with SpiderOak you can easily
download two historic versions of a file, and then diff them using
Meld or similar. So this can be done, too.

For simplistic usage, the big thingy missing from dropbox-like
solutions is a log entry for each backup. This is why I tend to have a
'change.log' file that I update when reaching some milestone, where I
input the current date and a VC-like log entry. It's a bit hackish but
it works for me.
