 Labeling is LyX's own special thing, and is not handled by enumitem.

 In my LyX 2.x SVN, it is handled by enumitem.
 And inserting options with the misnamed InsertShort Title into a labeling
 works, too.

 I'm not suer what's wrong, but I think I'm seeing this issue, too (in
 both 2.0.x and 2.1 SVN). For one, I cannot insert a short title. But
 worst is that when I look into enumitem.lyx and specifically at the
 last example that suggests that the environment also takes an
 optional argument, here is what I get in the View Source:
 It also takes an optional argument:
 \begin{elabeling}{withNN}
 \item [{nice}] description
 \item [{with}] several items and
 \item [{including~one~very~long~label}] and the item content starting
 at the next line.\end{elabeling}

 The above completely ignores the 'style=nextline' inserted in the
 'opt' inset. When I write anything else in the inset, the Source pane
 dully ignores it. Something is wrong.

It seems the latest update

# 2011-01-12 bugfix: set elabeling label font to \normalfont.

has broken this. 

In my local ~/.lyx-svn/layouts folder, I have the previous version that
fully defines the Labeling style while the 2011-01-12 version seems to

g-brief gotcha

[Gour]

Hello!

I'd like to use LyY for writing letters and not only for books since I
cannot tolerate bloat of OO/LibreOffice any longer. :-)

However, attempt to use g-brief-en says that: Important note: This
template uses the old „g-brief” class that is replaced by the new class
version „g-brief2”. Therefore, it is recommended that you use template
„g-brief2” instead. This template is available for compatibility reasons
only., but when I try with g-brief2 I see:

The selected document class letter (g-brief2) requires external files
that are not available.  The document class can still be used, but the
document cannot be compiled until the following prerequisites are
installed:  europs.sty See section 3.1.2.2 (Class Availability) of
the User's Guide for more information.

Any hint how to proceed?

I'm running lyx-2.0.1 under Archlinux x86_64.

Layout for KOMA-script article class?

If the character you used in LyX is the same as here:

Character 'ˆ' (710, 0x2C6)

it is because it is not the ASCII-circumflex

  As long as LyX knows where to look you'll be OK. I don't keep a separate

  No. No. If you have a current LyX release it will automagically convert
earlier version documents when you open them. Can't go backwards, but
there's no reason to do so.

  There are apparently version incompatibilities from one TeXLive release to
the next. The Slackware protocol is to build the latest, then uninstall the
earlier version before installing the current version. That avoids an
potential problems. Also, if you have more than a single version of any
application the system might not know which one to use, or might use parts
of both. Not good.

How to get two authors with centered institutions below on title page?

  Well, if I was doing this I'd let the cleaner(s) remove all LyX files,
then re-install the latest version.

  Does OS/X have an upgrade tool as well as an install tool? The former
should remove old versions prior to installing the new version.

  What I'd do is enter an author's name in the Author environment, then use
ctrl-Enter to keep the next line in the same environment. Enter the
institution on that line new line. Then either space down (with the [Enter]

Eric,

on Mac OS X LyX 1.6.x uses ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6 and LyX 2.0.x 
uses ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0

If you want to continue your work using (and let LyX 2.0 automatically 
converting) the 1.6 preferences 
you should copy the directory LyX-1.6 to LyX-2.0 - there is no need to remove 
the old preferences.
If you want to start from scratch LyX 2.0 will create a new preferences 
directory and use default
settings. If you want to use LyX 1.6 in parallel you should rename 
/Applications/LyX.app before
moving the new LyX.app to the /Applications folder. AFAIK, there is no need for 
a cleaner to 
deinstall LyX 1.6 - you can use them alternatively.

Anyway, LyX 2.0 will convert your documents to the current stable file format 
if it is needed.
On the other hand the latest 1.6 version should be able to open these 
documents. But you should
make a backup resp. a copy of all documents you plan to process with 1.6 later.
But you have a Time Machine backup anyway, don't you?

All these steps are LyX related. The update/upgrade of your TeXLive 
installation is another
story you should read at their home page.

Yes, I do have a Time Machine, and it's saved my rear end a few times.

One thing that's relevant, and that I should keep saying, is that I'm a 
beginner with Lyx/LaTeX/TeX. The only LyX documents I had that were created 
with 1.6 were those I created doing the tutorial. I have one other document 
that's a real one that was created with 2.02. So on Richard's suggestion I'm 
starting over with a clean install of 2.02. All my work on that last document 
was done in the document. I didn't do much configuring of LyX. I think the only 
thing was to put in the Foot to End module. I'm assuming that the rest of the 
work, which was not all that substantial, either, is preserved in the document. 
If not, it won't take much to redo it. 

If been reading up on customizing LyX, but the more I learn the more questions 
I have swimming around in my head. I'm found the KOMA article layout, but I'm 
not sure how to use it yet. I have references to help me with it, though. Also 
very uncertain about managing citations and bibliography. Inclined toward 
biblatex and biber but really, really vague about all of that. I have a fair 
bit of bibliography-related stuff stored in Zotero. I think getting it from 
there to whatever citation-bibliography manager I end up with won't be that 
much of a problem. Selecting and using a citation-bibloigrahy manager is 
another matter.
   
 All these steps are LyX related. The update/upgrade of your TeXLive 
 installation is another
 story you should read at their home page.

Yes, I was not clear about that. I'll do my best to keep them separate in the 
future. Once I start getting mail from the TeX list to which I've subscribed I 
definitely will.

Thanks again.

Zooming of graphics

[Phil Fong]

When you zoom in and out by adjusting the zoom setting in 
Tools-Preferences-Look  Feel-Screen Fonts or use ctrl+mouse wheel, 
the on-screen text changes size but not the graphics previews.  Is there a way 
to zoom in and out the graphics as well?  I know that you can change the 
graphics on-screen scaling in the graphic property setting window but that is 
not a quick change, it does not coordinate with the text zoom, and it goes into

g-brief gotcha

[Gour]

Hello!

I'd like to use LyY for writing letters and not only for books since I
cannot tolerate bloat of OO/LibreOffice any longer. :-)

However, attempt to use g-brief-en says that: Important note: This
template uses the old „g-brief” class that is replaced by the new class
version „g-brief2”. Therefore, it is recommended that you use template
„g-brief2” instead. This template is available for compatibility reasons
only., but when I try with g-brief2 I see:

The selected document class letter (g-brief2) requires external files
that are not available.  The document class can still be used, but the
document cannot be compiled until the following prerequisites are
installed:  europs.sty See section 3.1.2.2 (Class Availability) of
the User's Guide for more information.

Any hint how to proceed?

I'm running lyx-2.0.1 under Archlinux x86_64.

Layout for KOMA-script article class?

[Eric Weir]

I am leaning towards adopting the KOMA-script package as the base for 
developing my own very simple standard format[s]. I'm wondering if anyone out 
there has a relatively simple layout for the KOMA-script article class that I 
might take a look at.

Thanks,

argmax operator?

[Ignacio Martinez]

Hi I'm trying to add the operator argmax to my LyX document.

I added the following to my preamble:

\DeclareMathOperator*{\argmax}{arg\,max}


But is not working. I write in math mode \argmax but the operator does not
work.


What am I doing wrong?

If the character you used in LyX is the same as here:

Character 'ˆ' (710, 0x2C6)
02C6MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT

it is because it is not the ASCII-circumflex

Character '^' (94, 0x5E)

Eric,

  As long as LyX knows where to look you'll be OK. I don't keep a separate
layout subdirectory; it's just more to maintain.

  No. No. If you have a current LyX release it will automagically convert
earlier version documents when you open them. Can't go backwards, but
there's no reason to do so.

  There are apparently version incompatibilities from one TeXLive release to
the next. The Slackware protocol is to build the latest, then uninstall the
earlier version before installing the current version. That avoids an
potential problems. Also, if you have more than a single version of any
application the system might not know which one to use, or might use parts
of both. Not good.

Thanks, Rich. I have two cleaners, but they don't distinguish between the two

Likewise, they pick up some of the applications that come in the tex live

tex-related files in /usr/bin, was unable to identify any in /usr/lib, and what 
I take to be an alias--texbin--linked to a large number of TeX-related 
binaries. I'm going to delete the /usr/local/texlive/2010 folder and hope that 
gets rid of everything, since there seems to be no clear duplication anywhere 
else.  

If anyone can point me to other live 2010 folders or files that should be 
deleted I would appreciate it. 

And I will not continue raising tex-related questions here. I've signed up for

How to get two authors with centered institutions below on title page?

Hi,

I'm trying to align two author names with their respective institutions
(centered) below their names. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there an add-on for
this?

Thanks!

  Well, if I was doing this I'd let the cleaner(s) remove all LyX files,
then re-install the latest version.

  Does OS/X have an upgrade tool as well as an install tool? The former
should remove old versions prior to installing the new version.

  What I'd do is enter an author's name in the Author environment, then use
ctrl-Enter to keep the next line in the same environment. Enter the
institution on that line new line. Then either space down (with the [Enter]

Eric,

on Mac OS X LyX 1.6.x uses ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6 and LyX 2.0.x 
uses ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0

If you want to continue your work using (and let LyX 2.0 automatically 
converting) the 1.6 preferences 
you should copy the directory LyX-1.6 to LyX-2.0 - there is no need to remove 
the old preferences.
If you want to start from scratch LyX 2.0 will create a new preferences 
directory and use default
settings. If you want to use LyX 1.6 in parallel you should rename 
/Applications/LyX.app before
moving the new LyX.app to the /Applications folder. AFAIK, there is no need for 
a cleaner to 
deinstall LyX 1.6 - you can use them alternatively.

Anyway, LyX 2.0 will convert your documents to the current stable file format 
if it is needed.
On the other hand the latest 1.6 version should be able to open these 
documents. But you should
make a backup resp. a copy of all documents you plan to process with 1.6 later.
But you have a Time Machine backup anyway, don't you?

All these steps are LyX related. The update/upgrade of your TeXLive 
installation is another
story you should read at their home page.

Yes, I do have a Time Machine, and it's saved my rear end a few times.

One thing that's relevant, and that I should keep saying, is that I'm a 
beginner with Lyx/LaTeX/TeX. The only LyX documents I had that were created 
with 1.6 were those I created doing the tutorial. I have one other document 
that's a real one that was created with 2.02. So on Richard's suggestion I'm 
starting over with a clean install of 2.02. All my work on that last document 
was done in the document. I didn't do much configuring of LyX. I think the only 
thing was to put in the Foot to End module. I'm assuming that the rest of the 
work, which was not all that substantial, either, is preserved in the document. 
If not, it won't take much to redo it. 

If been reading up on customizing LyX, but the more I learn the more questions 
I have swimming around in my head. I'm found the KOMA article layout, but I'm 
not sure how to use it yet. I have references to help me with it, though. Also 
very uncertain about managing citations and bibliography. Inclined toward 
biblatex and biber but really, really vague about all of that. I have a fair 
bit of bibliography-related stuff stored in Zotero. I think getting it from 
there to whatever citation-bibliography manager I end up with won't be that 
much of a problem. Selecting and using a citation-bibloigrahy manager is 
another matter.
   
 All these steps are LyX related. The update/upgrade of your TeXLive 
 installation is another
 story you should read at their home page.

Yes, I was not clear about that. I'll do my best to keep them separate in the 
future. Once I start getting mail from the TeX list to which I've subscribed I 
definitely will.

Thanks again.

The problem here is that is does not know about all the required files.  The
linked bitmap in the SVG is required but Lyx doesn't / can't know about it.

 As there are several use cases where compiling in the pwd is

Zooming of graphics

[Phil Fong]

When you zoom in and out by adjusting the zoom setting in 
Tools-Preferences-Look  Feel-Screen Fonts or use ctrl+mouse wheel, 
the on-screen text changes size but not the graphics previews.  Is there a way 
to zoom in and out the graphics as well?  I know that you can change the 
graphics on-screen scaling in the graphic property setting window but that is 
not a quick change, it does not coordinate with the text zoom, and it goes into 
the document file so if you are collaborating with others it affects them.

Why don't you enter ê in plain text? LyX (mine at least) takes care of that.

argmax operator?

[Ignacio Martinez]

Hi I'm trying to add the operator argmax to my LyX document.

I added the following to my preamble:

\DeclareMathOperator*{\argmax}{arg\,max}


But is not working. I write in math mode \argmax but the operator does not
work.


What am I doing wrong?


Thanks!

If the character you used in LyX is the same as here:

Character 'ˆ' (710, 0x2C6)
02C6MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT

it is because it is not the ASCII-circumflex

Character '^' (94, 0x5E)
005ECIRCUMFLEX ACCENT

and hence an unknown command.

No, that's it. I didn't find it in the LyX folder in my user directory. I see 
there are layouts for all the KOMA classes in the layouts folder in the LyX 
package.  Should I copy them into the layouts folder in my user directory? It's 
currently empty.

Eric,

  As long as LyX knows where to look you'll be OK. I don't keep a separate
layout subdirectory; it's just more to maintain.

  No. No. If you have a current LyX release it will automagically convert
earlier version documents when you open them. Can't go backwards, but
there's no reason to do so.

  There are apparently version incompatibilities from one TeXLive release to
the next. The Slackware protocol is to build the latest, then uninstall the
earlier version before installing the current version. That avoids an
potential problems. Also, if you have more than a single version of any
application the system might not know which one to use, or might use parts
of both. Not good.

Thanks, Rich. I have two cleaners, but they don't distinguish between the two 
installations of lyx. I used one to delete just two files that were clearly 
associated with the 1.6 installation. 

Likewise, they pick up some of the applications that come in the tex live 
distribution, but not any of the files. I found some what seem to be 
tex-related files in /usr/bin, was unable to identify any in /usr/lib, and what 
I take to be an alias--texbin--linked to a large number of TeX-related 
binaries. I'm going to delete the /usr/local/texlive/2010 folder and hope that 
gets rid of everything, since there seems to be no clear duplication anywhere 
else.  

If anyone can point me to other live 2010 folders or files that should be 
deleted I would appreciate it. 

And I will not continue raising tex-related questions here. I've signed up for 
one of the lists specific to it, but could not tell from the description, and 
have not received enough messages from it to tell, whether it's an appropriate 
place for a new user like myself to get help.

How to get two authors with centered institutions below on title page?

[CP]

Hi,

I'm trying to align two author names with their respective institutions
(centered) below their names. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there an add-on for
this?

Thanks!

  Well, if I was doing this I'd let the cleaner(s) remove all LyX files,
then re-install the latest version.

  Does OS/X have an upgrade tool as well as an install tool? The former
should remove old versions prior to installing the new version.

  What I'd do is enter an author's name in the Author environment, then use
ctrl-Enter to keep the next line in the same environment. Enter the
institution on that line new line. Then either space down (with the [Enter]
key) and repeat or keep all lines together in the same environment with
ctrl-Enter.

Thanks, Rich. Didn't think of that. I'll do it.

OS X handles updating of Apple software fine. I don't know of a tool for other 
apps.

Eric,

on Mac OS X LyX 1.6.x uses ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6 and LyX 2.0.x 
uses ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0

If you want to continue your work using (and let LyX 2.0 automatically 
converting) the 1.6 preferences 
you should copy the directory LyX-1.6 to LyX-2.0 - there is no need to remove 
the old preferences.
If you want to start from scratch LyX 2.0 will create a new preferences 
directory and use default
settings. If you want to use LyX 1.6 in parallel you should rename 
/Applications/LyX.app before
moving the new LyX.app to the /Applications folder. AFAIK, there is no need for 
a cleaner to 
deinstall LyX 1.6 - you can use them alternatively.

Anyway, LyX 2.0 will convert your documents to the current stable file format 
if it is needed.
On the other hand the latest 1.6 version should be able to open these 
documents. But you should
make a backup resp. a copy of all documents you plan to process with 1.6 later.
But you have a Time Machine backup anyway, don't you?

All these steps are LyX related. The update/upgrade of your TeXLive 
installation is another
story you should read at their home page.

Thank you, Günter. That's the problem. I formed the circumflex by  
doing option-i on a Mac keyboard, and this apparently produces

Out of curiosity, does compiling with LuaTeX or XeTeX (instead of pdflatex)
allow you to use the other circumflex?

Yes, I do have a Time Machine, and it's saved my rear end a few times.

One thing that's relevant, and that I should keep saying, is that I'm a 
beginner with Lyx/LaTeX/TeX. The only LyX documents I had that were created 
with 1.6 were those I created doing the tutorial. I have one other document 
that's a real one that was created with 2.02. So on Richard's suggestion I'm 
starting over with a clean install of 2.02. All my work on that last document 
was done in the document. I didn't do much configuring of LyX. I think the only 
thing was to put in the Foot to End module. I'm assuming that the rest of the 
work, which was not all that substantial, either, is preserved in the document. 
If not, it won't take much to redo it. 

If been reading up on customizing LyX, but the more I learn the more questions 
I have swimming around in my head. I'm found the KOMA article layout, but I'm 
not sure how to use it yet. I have references to help me with it, though. Also 
very uncertain about managing citations and bibliography. Inclined toward 
biblatex and biber but really, really vague about all of that. I have a fair 
bit of bibliography-related stuff stored in Zotero. I think getting it from 
there to whatever citation-bibliography manager I end up with won't be that 
much of a problem. Selecting and using a citation-bibloigrahy manager is 
another matter.

Yes, I was not clear about that. I'll do my best to keep them separate in the 
future. Once I start getting mail from the TeX list to which I've subscribed I 
definitely will.

Copy files from the "system lyx dir" to your user dir, if you want to
modify them. (Usually also rename them to avoid later confusion.)

As long as you do not run into problems or limitations - keeping saves time
and bandwidth...

If you find a bug or feature wish in one of the packages or want to keep up
with the development of luatex, say, the developers will ask you to update
before reporting -- maybe the bug is long gone, the feature already
implemented and documented...

The problem here is that is does not know about all the required files.  The

Zooming of graphics

[Phil Fong]

When you zoom in and out by adjusting the zoom setting in 
"Tools"->"Preferences"->"Look & Feel"->"Screen Fonts" or use ctrl+mouse wheel, 
the on-screen text changes size but not the graphics previews.  Is there a way 
to zoom in and out the graphics as well?  I know that you can change the 
graphics on-screen scaling in the graphic property setting window but that is 
not a quick change, it does not coordinate with the text zoom, and it goes into 
the document file so if you are collaborating with others it affects them.
