Help with import from SPanish

Hi,

I am struggling with importing a document in Spanish into LyX because I
do not know how to get the Spanish diacriticals to show in the LyX
frontend and it doesn't compile.

Here is the minimal example

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}

Dear Uwe
This is an old message, nevertheless I have solved it by updating both GIMP 
and LyX to the newest versions so both now use the same python sources. 
Anyway if LyX still refer statically to python under it directory I see no 
reason for the conflict. I think this is an already solved bug.

a) convert the source to standard all ASCII input using the accent macros

 Hi

 I have never experienced that problem :). I guess it should be easy to
 fix, however, we probably need a minimal lyx file showing the problem.

 Try taking halves out and see how far you can get the text down to. (try
 removing external material as well, and remember to make a back up copy ;)
 ) If you do not want to post the resulting file to the public list you can
 email it to me and I will have a quick look at it :)

 Ingar Pareliussen

 Thanks for the reply :)

LyX is still doing this, to add to this dilemma it's decided to randomly
put a certain word which I started to write, but have since deleted
randomly in the document now. The word should not exist anywhere - it's
very specific.

I will see if i can get a smaller file (non thesis based) derived from this
file to exhibit the same behaviour so I can publicly post it for all.  Also
going to try the latest version, see if that helps...

Re: missing libhunspell prevents starting lyx

Hello guys,

I just came back from some vacation (and a cold to welcome me back :P).
I'll take a look on the hunspell issue as soon as I manage to setup
build configuration on my new computer.
I will also update the package to the recently released 2.0.6 version of lyx

 Hi,

 I'd have to investigate that myself, though I don't know the situation
 of hunspell but using enchant should be indeed the way to go.

 PS The experimental is just a tag to show that the packaging has been
 updated after a long period. No guarantees, but I think it's safe to
 try.

 Slightly different: During the freeze we try to not disturb bugfixing
 and migration to testing, so we try to avoid new upstream releases not
 targeted at the stable release in freeze, to be uploaded to unstable.
 Thus we use experimental. Usually it's a testing area for packaging
 changes, disruptive upstream changes etc.

 I'm currently waiting that someone sends a pull request or Nick start's
 to commit to the git repo so that I can review that and sponsor an
 upload to unstable. (That would even help to push that to Ubuntu if someone
 cares ...)

 Currently the LyX package from experimental might even be installable on
 wheezy but that's not recommended and not guranteed to work.
 After getting a new upstream release into unstable and testing we can
 talk about backports in case someone prepares them. I'd be willing to
 sponsor the upload but not much more.

options on a document class

[Al Niessner]

Let me start with a big thanks to all of the developers and users of Lyx. I 
have been using it for nearly exclusively for 15 years or more. Ever since 
FrameMaker got purchased by Adobe I have been using Lyx.

Lyx works so well that I have never had to learn LaTeX or TeX. I have been 
through the documentation a couple of times and have been through the WIKI 
too. I almost always get my answers there, but sometimes I have to resort to 
google. In this case, they have all failed and I finally have to post. Well, 
I do not remember every posting before.

Currently I am trying to write a paper and it comes with this request:

Latex users: please use \documentclass[conference, compsocconf]{IEEEtran} 
(with option 'compsocconf').

Since Lyx works so well and I have never had to learn LaTeX, I have no idea 
what they are asking. I poked around Lyx and the documentation and have not 
convinced myself that I have found the correct thing to do.

1) Is there some place (pull down menu or dialog box) that I am supposed to 
enter this option and Lyx will do the rest?

2) If I have to do ERT, then were does the ERT go and should I start with a 
base document or the IEEE template?

3) Some other lower level trick?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I put [conference, compsocconf] in the custom block. I presume I need the []

Move the cursor out of the formula and the menus become available. This is because you are in the 
insert menu and your are already in a formula and a formula inside a formula is not possible.

To change the style of an existing formula, use the Edit menu.

Where in the docs did you read that you should use the Insert menu? This is a bug in the

There are a few color groups you can change, e.g. also citecolor. The UserGuide for the next LyX 
version will explain the color options better.



3. You helpfully say this: pink is the default for hyperlinks/urls.

Is that what I should go with then?


No, you can decide what you like. The default, as once invented by Adobe, is to draw colored frames 
around links. But most people find this awful so that later the coloring of links became the 
de-facto standard.

Re: Problem with text being inserted randomly

[Gordon Cooper]

 Hi Rich,
  I have not had that problem with Lyx, but am at present
trying to remove it - or something very similar from Libre Office.
OS is Kubuntu 13.04 but it first cropped up in 12.04. If a word, a
phrase and sometimes a whole paragraph is copied, or cut during
editing it is likely to re-appear almost anywhere in the document.

I had been blaming the clipboard software but now am reasonably
sure that it is three button mouse issue with the mouse interpreting
a scroll wheel movement as a third button click.  Perhaps it's my
fault, being too heavy handed with the mouse?

LyX is still doing this, to add to this dilemma it's decided to randomly
put a certain word which I started to write, but have since deleted

Re: missing libhunspell prevents starting lyx

Hello guys,

I just came back from some vacation (and a cold to welcome me back :P).
I'll take a look on the hunspell issue as soon as I manage to setup

I will also update the package to the recently released 2.0.6 version of lyx

 Slightly different: During the freeze we try to not disturb bugfixing
 and migration to testing, so we try to avoid new upstream releases not
 targeted at the stable release in freeze, to be uploaded to unstable.
 Thus we use experimental. Usually it's a testing area for packaging
 changes, disruptive upstream changes etc.

 I'm currently waiting that someone sends a pull request or Nick start's
 to commit to the git repo so that I can review that and sponsor an
 upload to unstable. (That would even help to push that to Ubuntu if someone
 cares ...)

 Currently the LyX package from experimental might even be installable on
 wheezy but that's not recommended and not guranteed to work.
 After getting a new upstream release into unstable and testing we can
 talk about backports in case someone prepares them. I'd be willing to
 sponsor the upload but not much more.

options on a document class

[Al Niessner]

Let me start with a big thanks to all of the developers and users of Lyx. I 
have been using it for nearly exclusively for 15 years or more. Ever since 
FrameMaker got purchased by Adobe I have been using Lyx.

Lyx works so well that I have never had to learn LaTeX or TeX. I have been 
through the documentation a couple of times and have been through the WIKI 
too. I almost always get my answers there, but sometimes I have to resort to 
google. In this case, they have all failed and I finally have to post. Well, 
I do not remember every posting before.

Currently I am trying to write a paper and it comes with this request:

Latex users: please use \documentclass[conference, compsocconf]{IEEEtran} 
(with option 'compsocconf').

Since Lyx works so well and I have never had to learn LaTeX, I have no idea 
what they are asking. I poked around Lyx and the documentation and have not 
convinced myself that I have found the correct thing to do.

1) Is there some place (pull down menu or dialog box) that I am supposed to 
enter this option and Lyx will do the rest?

2) If I have to do ERT, then were does the ERT go and should I start with a 
base document or the IEEE template?

3) Some other lower level trick?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Move the cursor out of the formula and the menus become available. This is because you are in the

There are a few color groups you can change, e.g. also citecolor. The UserGuide for the next LyX

No, you can decide what you like. The default, as once invented by Adobe, is to draw colored frames

Re: Problem with text being inserted randomly

[Gordon Cooper]

 Hi Rich,
  I have not had that problem with Lyx, but am at present
trying to remove it - or something very similar from Libre Office.
OS is Kubuntu 13.04 but it first cropped up in 12.04. If a word, a
phrase and sometimes a whole paragraph is copied, or cut during
editing it is likely to re-appear almost anywhere in the document.

I had been blaming the clipboard software but now am reasonably
sure that it is three button mouse issue with the mouse interpreting
a scroll wheel movement as a third button click.  Perhaps it's my
fault, being too heavy handed with the mouse?

Thank you very much for the prompt response.

I put [conference, compsocconf] in the custom block. I presume I need the [] 
and that conference is also an option. I have tried very hard to not learn 
LaTeX or Tex. I figured once I did that writing papers would become a 
programming exercise all of its own.

You do not need the [].

Just tried to view the document and fixed the custom block. Seems to
working at this point. Thanks again for all of the help.

The universe is indifferent, and life is brutal; however, it is man's
choice of behavior that makes them malevolent rather than benevolent.

1. I cannot get that to work.

2. Also: How would I change your "pink" to "HOTTER PINK"?

Thanks; Gordon

What does not work?

pink is the default for hyperlinks/urls.

As I wrote you can change the color as you like:


see the UserGuide, sec 6.9 "PDF properties"


Attached is your example file where I changed the color for urls to blue.

Move the cursor out of the formula and the menus become available. This is because you are in the 
insert menu and your are already in a formula and a formula inside a formula is not possible.

To change the style of an existing formula, use the Edit menu.

Where in the docs did you read that you should use the Insert menu? This is a bug in the 
documentation that I need to fix.

Re: Example of my Footnotes not numbering

[Gordon Watson]

1. Thanks; yours works.

2. But I was adding -- as instructed :) -- "linkcolor=blue"-- I see that you 
added "urlcolor=blue".

That also answers: "What does not work?"

3. You helpfully say this: pink is the default for hyperlinks/urls.

Is that what I should go with then? That is: Is pink the standard output 
expected in PDFs of good-quality technical documents?

I thought that I'd seen most with BLUE ?

Tks again; Gordon

There are a few color groups you can change, e.g. also "citecolor". The UserGuide for the next LyX 
version will explain the color options better.



3. You helpfully say this: pink is the default for hyperlinks/urls.

No, you can decide what you like. The default, as once invented by Adobe, is to draw colored frames 
around links. But most people find this awful so that later the coloring of links became the 
de-facto standard.

Re: Problem with text being inserted randomly

[Gordon Cooper]

 Hi Rich,
  I have not had that problem with Lyx, but am at present
trying to remove it - or something very similar from Libre Office.
OS is Kubuntu 13.04 but it first cropped up in 12.04. If a word, a
phrase and sometimes a whole paragraph is copied, or cut during
editing it is likely to re-appear almost anywhere in the document.

I had been blaming the clipboard software but now am reasonably
sure that it is three button mouse issue with the mouse interpreting
a scroll wheel movement as a third button click.  Perhaps it's my
fault, being too heavy handed with the mouse?
