hanging indentation in bibiography (using lyx bibtex)
Hi all -- A journal has requested that the hanging indent in my bibliography be exactly .5 inches. Is there an easy way to do this using lyx? I am using lyx 2.0, bibtex, article class, natbib, and aea.bst. Many thanks! Peter (I tried searching the forum on this topic, and could only find outdated or inapplicable responses.)

Re: Re: Re: Can't open files in 2.0.3 (Buffer_convertLyxFormat.hXXXX is not a readable Lyx Document)
Hi, I had similar (i can't remember exact error message but it was it was closely related) error around of two weeks ago but instead of upgrading it occurred after unexpected power loss. Following steps help me to use corrupted files again: 1. Locate working directory 2. Instead of your main project file e.g. filename.lyx locate and open filename.lyx~ with Lyx (you have to point location of Lyx binary, alternatively you can open this file via Lyx file menu open but on this case first you should insert *.* as file name to make all file types visible for Lyx) 3. Save result as new project e.g new.lyx (it is just good practice to keep recovery and original files separated) 4. After manual check of content of file you can rename new.lyx back to filename.lyx I am using Win 7 x 64 Lyx 2.0.3 Br, Indrek On 24 April 2012 14:02, Kornel Benko kor...@lyx.org wrote: Am Dienstag, 24.

I don't have time to play around with this right now, but the answer is, yes, of course, one can do anything in LaTeX.

[lyx]: using nomenclatures/acronyms
Hello, My name is Aitor Murguzur and I am a PhD student in software/service engineering. The reason of this email is related to the nomenclature/acronym usage in Lyx after several searches over the Internet with no results. I use Lyx for my daily work but I am not able to generate a detailed acronym list: I would like to create something like http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12346/use-a-quality-glossary-and-acronym-list-in-lyx I would really appreciate any suggestion. Best regards, Aitor Murguzur.

hanging indentation in bibiography (using lyx & bibtex)
Hi all -- A journal has requested that the hanging indent in my bibliography be exactly .5 inches. Is there an easy way to do this using lyx? I am using lyx 2.0, bibtex, article class, natbib, and aea.bst. Many thanks! Peter (I tried searching the forum on this topic, and could only find outdated or inapplicable responses.)

Re: Re: Re: Can't open files in 2.0.3 (Buffer_convertLyxFormat.hXXXX is not a readable Lyx Document)
Hi, I had similar (i can't remember exact error message but it was it was closely related) error around of two weeks ago but instead of upgrading it occurred after unexpected power loss. Following steps help me to use corrupted files again: 1. Locate working directory 2. Instead of your main project file e.g. filename.lyx locate and open filename.lyx~ with Lyx (you have to point location of Lyx binary, alternatively you can open this file via Lyx file menu > open but on this case first you should insert *.* as file name to make all file types visible for Lyx) 3. Save result as new project e.g new.lyx (it is just good practice to keep recovery and original files separated) 4. After manual check of content of file you can rename new.lyx back to filename.lyx I am using Win 7 x 64 Lyx 2.0.3 Br, Indrek On 24 April 2012 14:02, Kornel Benkowrote: > Am Dienstag, 24.

They were initially a non-profit entity, and offered free access to their journals. Presumably self-typesetting was one way to keep costs low, and the online-only nature made perfect standardization of type less critical. Seems like they would be well-served to offer some lyx/latex templates, huh? They do have strict typesetting requirements, however -- hence my question!

In this case, article.cls sets the bibliography using: \newenvironment{thebibliography}[1] {\section*{\refname}% \@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\refname}{\MakeUppercase\refname}% \list{\@biblabel{\@arabic\c@enumiv}}% {\settowidth\labelwidth{\@biblabel{#1}}% \leftmargin\labelwidth \advance\leftmargin\labelsep \@openbib@code \usecounter{enumiv}% \let\p@enumiv\@empty \renewcommand\theenumiv{\@arabic\c@enumiv}}% \sloppy \clubpenalty4000 \@clubpenalty \clubpenalty \widowpenalty4000% \sfcode`\.\@m} {\def\@noitemerr {\@latex@warning{Empty `thebibliography' environment}}% \endlist} So the bibliography is itself set as a list, with the individual items set using \bibitem (which is defined in latex.ltx). The list parameters are defined in this block: {\settowidth\labelwidth{\@biblabel{#1}}% \leftmargin\labelwidth \advance\leftmargin\labelsep \@openbib@code \usecounter{enumiv}% \let\p@enumiv\@empty \renewcommand\theenumiv{\@arabic\c@enumiv}} It's just the first few that are relevant here. See e.g. http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/ownlists.htm for a description of what you might try changing. Ultimately, you'd need to do: \renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]{} Richard
