unobvious? -never heard this term. But maybe you think about coding pearls
like
% The second and third lines are TeX' way of writing ``uclclist += …``::
\providecommand*\update@uclc@with@greek{%
\expandafter\def\expandafter\@uclclist\expandafter{%
\@uclclist
\accdasia\LGR@accdropped
...
An example is the "selig" package on CTAN.
I would like to have an s -> ſ conversion package (which does the conversion
according to German orthography, keeping the Schluß-Es where required).
I assume there is nothing LyX-specific (yet).

Marking Decisions in a Plan Document
Hello, I've been using LyX for a while for mathematical documents. But now I'm writing a long document which explains a plan (a design of a software system), and in the process I'd like to mark important decisions. Much like mathematical documents mark theorems in bold "Theorem 5: x + y < z" I'd like to mark decisions with the word "Decision" and an auto-generated numbering of them. And then, be able to see a list of all decisions, both in the LyX interface and preferably also in the exported document. Is it possible? How do I do that? Thanks in advance, Anatoly
Re: Lyx biblatex biber jabref Mac OSX lion trouble
Thanks, that really clears things up! I was wondering why I was able to do
relative paths until I started using biblatex. Fuller integration of
biblatex and lyx will be very welcome when it happens.
Best,
Aleksey

This is a known issue with biblatex/lyx. Since you are giving the path to
the bib files in the preamble and lyx copies everything over to a temp dir
before compilation, there is no way it can unpack relative locations for
bib files.
Notice that the same problem would happen with regular bibtex if you were
to enter a relative path to the bib file (i.e. in the LaTeX \bibliography
command) as ERT. If you rely on Lyx, instead (i.e. using the
Insert>>List/TOC/bibtex Bibliography lyx command), Lyx always converts the
path to the bib file to an absolute one in the latex output (you can take a
look at View>Source to verify this).
The solution will come with a fuller integration of biblatex into lyx,
which is hopefully not very far off.
Cheers,
Stefano

Same reasons as Wolfgang's: opentype + microtype support. I guess I could use XeTeX now that its microtype support has improved, but I got used to LuaTeX and would need to modify some of my class files to switch back to XeTeX. > Has anyone found a way to make commands and environments > with Lua, rather than the unobvious LaTeX methods? I have no idea what you mean here. I mostly use LuaTeX with the memoir class, which I modify/configure as needed for books, articles, etc. So it's all LaTeX. What else are you > guys doing with LuaTeX. > > I do enjoy the headache-free support of opentype+microtype. The trade-off is that LuaTeX is very slow compared to pdfLaTeX and very memory intensive. On my (admittedly rather old system), compilation can last minutes for long documents (>100K words). And I sometimes get into troubles with RAM.

Please always use (or at least CC: the lyx-users list, so others can

There were several problems in your file:
* You had "Indent paragraph" unchecked for the bibliography. This does not
work (and generates the error). [this is a known LyX bug]
* You need to select "Natbib" in Document > Settings > Bibliography
* You need at least one citation in your document in order to get Natbib
loaded automatically. If you do not want that, you have to enter
\usepackage{natbib}
in Document > Settings > Preamble
The reason is that LyX only loads the natbib package when you actually cite
something.
See the attached corrected example, where I also demonstrate how to adjust the
indendation and vertical space in the bibliography.

Re: Lyx 2.0.6 Mac OS X Spell checker not underlying errors
Hi Scott, The "Spellcheck continuously"was enabled but it was, as you pointed out, a magnifying problem. I use a 13.3" screen, 1280*800 resolution and I had set up the magnifying at 140%. It needed to be, in my case, at least at 150%. I didn't think of this possibility... Thanks a lot,
