Multiple citations

[Elena]

Hi everybody,

I'm having some troubles with multiple citations in Lyx.

When I have to cite more than one bibliographic note per time, what I see in
the PDF is the first citation extended and the other ones just as the first
author's letter..

For example, if I cite Me et al, 2000; You et al, 2001; Them and al, 2009,
what I get is (Me and al, 2000, Y, T).

Can you help me? 
Tnks!

KOMA Script Letter 2: Continuation Page Headings

[Rich Shepard]

  In multipage business letters here in the US all continuation pages should
have a header in the upper left of the page containing

Addressee's Name
Date as shown on page 1
Page number

  While I thought that the KOMA-Script Letter 2 configuration I use had this
capability and how to do this was worked out years ago I don't have a record
of how to do this in my saved messages and I am not finding the solution in
my Web searches.

  Please point me to a resource that explains how to add this continuation
page header.

Thanks in advance,

You obviously need the correct \usepackage line added to your preamble

Actually, I just use \usepackage{psfrag} directly (\usepackage{pstool}

is the content of the .tex file generated by matlabfrag alongside the .eps
file. I would be copy-pasting the content of the .tex file into an ERT, but
you could also input the .tex file via InsertFileChild Doc. What this
accomplishes corresponds to what is described at the beginning of section
4.2 of the matlabfrag userguide.pdf manual. If you need to use pdflatex,
you'll need the \usepackage{pstool} instead, but then I don't know how to
help you!

Hope this helps a bit more,

Change all instances of an environment

[Sykledust]

I just discovered the 'program listing' inset after writing
 a quite large document containing a lot of programming code.
For this I just used a typewriter font, and for blocks of code 
I used the Quote environment to have it indented.
I would now like to change all instances of the Quote 
paragraphs to program listing floats and all other instances 
of typewriter font use to inline program listings.
I tried to use advanced find  replace with the 
regular expression .* but without luck.

All suggestions are appreciated

Hi,
Thanks for providing a small example. The problem is that you need to 
define the label correctly, according to the natbib style, in exactly 
the form Authors(2013). See the attached, corrected and simplified 
example.

You'd probably have better luck just doing a find replace on the .lyx
file directly. Make one change manually in LyX to see what you want to
change to and then sed the rest. Of course make backups and be
careful.

In fact I had a go with that also, but it actually seems simpler 
to manually do the formatting Inside LyX since I have to replace 
multiple sequential instances of
\begin_layout Quote 
Code here
\end_layout
with a single program listing inset... 
For the non-block code it could perhaps be a feasible approach, 
but then I thought I'd ask here first just to make sure that there 
isn't a sollution similar to how sections can be promoted and 
demoted through the outline.

Julien,

  Thanks very much! I thought I had solved this before but I did not find
that stored tread in my Web searches.

  The changes in LyX over the past 5 years means I need to modify the
solution that worked then. Now, the 'toname' comes out right justified
rather than left justified but the date and page number are on the left.
I'll work on fixing this over the next couple of days.

Much appreciated,

Rich

The preceding is perhaps the most confusing sentence I've ever read.
But assuming you want to change the appearance of all instances of the
Quote environment, you can revise the appearance of Quote within a
layout file.

I would be copy-pasting the content of the .tex file into an

I tried this \input approach, placed before/after the graphics include

use pdflatex, you'll need the \usepackage{pstool} instead, but then I

I then tried to use the psfrag together with auto-pst-pdf to get to pdf, 
but pdftex process runs with 100% CPU for 10 minutes and then dies.


So I am back to pstool with absolute paths and an openany_out=a 
pdflatex ... command. This ERT approach is not as neat (e.g. no

Thanks for your thoughts on this!

 The way I use psfrag is to insert the .eps into LyX using the standard
 way from the Insert menu, and put the psfrag code in ERT in the LyX
 document. This way, LyX handles the copying of the .eps file correctly.
 You obviously need the correct \usepackage line added to your preamble
 in document settings.


 Thanks for your comment. I somehow missed your answer after all this
 time...


Well, it took me quite some time to answer in the first place...


 I get how you mentioned the inclusion of the .eps file - I remember trying
 that initially. I also assume you mean `\usepackage{pstool}' as correct
 preamble line(?). However, I do not know what you mean by 'psfrag code'.


Actually, I just use \usepackage{psfrag} directly (\usepackage{pstool}
isn't necessary for pdf output via ps2pdf). The psfrag code that I refer to
is the content of the .tex file generated by matlabfrag alongside the .eps
file. I would be copy-pasting the content of the .tex file into an ERT, but
you could also input the .tex file via InsertFileChild Doc. What this
accomplishes corresponds to what is described at the beginning of section
4.2 of the matlabfrag userguide.pdf manual. If you need to use pdflatex,
you'll need the \usepackage{pstool} instead, but then I don't know how to
help you!

Hope this helps a bit more,

Change all instances of an environment

[Sykledust]

I just discovered the 'program listing' inset after writing
 a quite large document containing a lot of programming code.
For this I just used a typewriter font, and for blocks of code 
I used the Quote environment to have it indented.
I would now like to change all instances of the Quote 
paragraphs to program listing floats and all other instances 
of typewriter font use to inline program listings.
I tried to use advanced find  replace with the 
regular expression .* but without luck.

All suggestions are appreciated

Julien,

  Thanks very much! I thought I had solved this before but I did not find
that stored tread in my Web searches.

  The changes in LyX over the past 5 years means I need to modify the
solution that worked then. Now, the 'toname' comes out right justified
rather than left justified but the date and page number are on the left.
I'll work on fixing this over the next couple of days.

Much appreciated,

The preceding is perhaps the most confusing sentence I've ever read.
But assuming you want to change the appearance of all instances of the

I would be copy-pasting the content of the .tex file into an

I tried this \input approach, placed before/after the graphics include

I then tried to use the psfrag together with auto-pst-pdf to get to pdf, 
but pdftex process runs with 100% CPU for 10 minutes and then dies.


So I am back to pstool with absolute paths and an openany_out=a

I *think* they were also blurry, but I mainly looked at the font and
icon sizes. I am not using Macports anymore as I switched to homwbrew,
which unfortunately has no recipe for LyX. 

Why don't you just try it out? Removing macports and all installations
from macports is documented here:

And it works.

Multiple citations

Hi everybody,

I'm having some troubles with multiple citations in Lyx.

When I have to cite more than one bibliographic note per time, what I see in
the PDF is the first citation extended and the other ones just as the first
author's letter..

For example, if I cite Me et al, 2000; You et al, 2001; Them and al, 2009,
what I get is (Me and al, 2000, Y, T).

Can you help me?

  The changes in LyX over the past 5 years means I need to modify the
solution that worked then. Now, the 'toname' comes out right justified
rather than left justified but the date and page number are on the left.
I'll work on fixing this over the next couple of days.

Much appreciated,

Rich

The preceding is perhaps the most confusing sentence I've ever read.
But assuming you want to change the appearance of all instances of the
Quote environment, you can revise the appearance of Quote within a
layout file.

I can't write on file `figures/EulerExplizit-pstool.__tex'.

Now I assume that the external command from pstool is
run inside the
temporary LyX directory and it thus cannot find the
figures/ folder to
write the .tex file to...

AFAIK, LyX does not copy the .eps and .tex psfrag files to
the temporary
directory, because it does not parse the ERT for the
psfragfig macro. I
decided to reference the files under figures/ directly with
absolute
paths to the source dir. This does work via "openout_any = a" in
texmf.cnf but then compiling foreign documents does not feel
secure
anymore...

I read the LyX "Customization" manual under 'Copier' for a
better
solution, but could not find a reference to the LyX
temporary directory
and have no clue how to best solve this in terms of LyX policy.

The way I use psfrag is to insert the .eps into LyX using the
standard
way from the Insert menu, and put the psfrag code in ERT in the LyX
document. This way, LyX handles the copying of the .eps file
correctly.
You obviously need the correct \usepackage line added to your
preamble
in document settings.


Thanks for your comment. I somehow missed your answer after all this
time...


Well, it took me quite some time to answer in the first place...

I get how you mentioned the inclusion of the .eps file - I remember
trying that initially. I also assume you mean `\usepackage{pstool}'
as correct preamble line(?). However, I do not know what you mean by
'psfrag code'.


Actually, I just use \usepackage{psfrag} directly (\usepackage{pstool}
isn't necessary for pdf output via ps2pdf). The psfrag code that I refer
to is the content of the .tex file generated by matlabfrag alongside the
.eps file.


I read some more about the technologies and packages involved. I did not 
fully grasp the bare psfrag since I used the pstools psfragfig magic 
before, thanks for explanation.



I would be copy-pasting the content of the .tex file into an
ERT, but you could also input the .tex file via "Insert>File>Child Doc".


I tried this \input approach, placed before/after the graphics include 
but it did not work with pdflatex.



What this accomplishes corresponds to what is described at the beginning
of section 4.2 of the matlabfrag userguide.pdf manual. If you need to
use pdflatex, you'll need the \usepackage{pstool} instead, but then I
don't know how to help you!



I then tried to use the psfrag together with auto-pst-pdf to get to pdf, 
but pdftex process runs with 100% CPU for 10 minutes and then dies.


So I am back to pstool with absolute paths and an "openany_out=a 
pdflatex ..." command. This ERT approach is not as neat (e.g. no 
preview!) as the other figure handling in LyX, but at least it works.


Thanks for your thoughts on this!

Michael
