lyx2.1.0dev and svmult

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Hello,

I thought lyx2.1. contains svmult (Springer). But downloading lyx2.1.0dev 
gives me a lyx2.1 which says 
checking for svmult NO
I use linuxmint
and have TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2013/Debian)

What should I do?
build 2.1. newer versions 
or 

copy svmultt1 

if so,  
would I copy it to /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/
or could I copy it also to my local texmf
or even where my lyx file is?
(texhash, reconfigure, of course)

 svmultt1 contains under  template editor  templates several tex files for 
the different parts of a document

under templates author.tex figure.tex and reference.tex

which one would I load into my lyx file for the svmult style?

I was hoping there exists a template for lyx, perhaps in a more recent 
version of lyx2.1?

confused, as always:

Wolfgang

As I told you in a previous mail [1]: LyX does notship LaTeX classes, but
only LyX layouts (the link between LyX and LaTeX classes).

Help  LaTeX Configuration tells you where you can download svmult (some
springer site, I suppose). Then install it in your personal texmf dir
(~/texmf/tex/latex), but this is what I told you in the previous mail as
well.

Would I use author.lyx and add the contents of my chapter into it?
The alternative would be (and I would prefer it) to have a svmult layout.

By the way, if I run the author.lyx 
 I get an inputenc Error

It is shipped with LyX, you'll find it in the layouts folder
(svmult.layout).

Which means you have successfully installed the class and LyX finds it.

Look in the LyX examples directory. It also contains svmult example files.

 The original bibtex does not understand non-ASCII charcters.
 There is an 8-bit clean fork (bibtex8).

 If you use literal German umlauts in your *.bib file without problems,
 this is a sign that bibtex8 is used.

 Until now, I used the {\} encoding for German umlauts etc.

Then I recommend to use LaTeX Internal Character Representation (LICR) as
encoding for Cyrillic, too.

 What is the encoding of the bibtex file?

 I have put this to UTF-8; now at least LyX recognizes the reference:
 when I keep my mouse over the citation, LyX shows the Cyrillic
 characters.

 Do you use utf-8 for the exported LaTeX file?
 (DocumentSettingsLanguageEncoding)

 It is on Language Default (no inputenc) now; my language is English. 

Language Default (no inputenc) is an advanced setting. It requires you
either to use pure ASCII or to insert some input converter by hand (e.g.
in the document preamble). Use this only if absolutely required.

However, it may be that you did not change the radiobutton, so that while
the drop-down box shows this text the setting is Language default.

 As soon as I put it on UTF-8 the complete Bibliography chapter will
 disappear at the end of the document after compiling.

Strange. There should be some error report. Maybe this is related to BibTeX
not working with utf8 and will go away if you have your bibfile in pure
ASCII with LICR.

What happens with setting encoding to ASCII?

 Does Cyrillic work, if you drag-and-drop it into the document (just as
 a test)?

 Yes, although in another font than the rest of the text.

For fixing the font issue, you may try the substituefont package
(http://www.ctan.org/pkg/substitutefont has an example file in the
documentation) or (if this is possible for your document) using a font
supporting Cyrillic like Linux Libertine or Deja Vu.

...

 While in the main document, all captions etc are translated to in
 Russian and shown in perfect Cyrillic characters ??? I am clueless.
 

 Alternatively, you may try to write the Cyrillic characters as LICR
 macros (\cyra ... \cyrja) - this should solve utf-8 problems but you
 still need correct fonts and the correct language setting (so switch
 the TeX font encoding).

It seems like you need either to switch to biblatex (I don't know whether
this works with LyX) or

* LICR macros and
* \foreignlanguage{russian}{cyrillic text} around all cyrillic text
  parts in the *.bib file.
  
For conversion of UTF8 encoded characters into LICR, there may be an option
in the BibTeX program (encoding ASCII or similar).
You can also try the recode command line program or LyX:

If you apply the following patch to a copy of unicodesymbols in your
local LyX folder, LyX will do the conversion. Copy/Paste the Cyrillic
text into LyX, set LanguageEncoding to ASCII and see the result with
ViewSource or in an exported LaTeX file.

building/packaging a lyx module

[Christoph Burschka]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to write a lyx module (for my own use, though it
may end up on github eventually) that roughly imitates for Python what
knitr/sweave are doing with R:

- Provide an inset for noweb-like code blocks
- Run the file through a pre-processor to interpret those blocks
- Continue Latex compilation with the output inserted.

The first prototype seems to work, but it took quite a bit of
configuring. Adding the module was easy enough (putting the .module in
~/.lyx/layouts, the Python script in ~/.lyx/scripts), but I had to
manually add the file formats and converters to the settings; something
like
pyweave-latex : python3 $$s/scripts/python-weave.py $$i $$o

Is there any way to set up stuff like that automatically with an
installation script? Ideally, I'd want to package the module so I can
install it on other systems without manually configuring anything.

Thanks!

(using a 2.1.0 build compiled from git)

The only thing I can think of, as things now are, is to run some script 
(you can use python, since we know that should be installed) that would 
automatically add the relevant lines to the user's preferences file. Of 
course, then you have to find that file, and I'm not sure if there's a 
totally portable way to do it. Many users wouldn't even be able to find 
it themselves. But you could at least check the standard locations.

If I understand correctly, you're talking about 'buffer-next' and
'buffer-previous'. I good way to figure out what the underlying
command is, is to go to View  Messages and in the Messages box click
on the Settings pane; for Debug messages choose Selected and
toggle User commands to yes. Then change back to the Output
pane, do the action that you want (in this case changing the tab with
ctrl + up).

Another way (which only works because we trigger the desired action
with a shortcut) is to go to Tools  Preferences  Editing  Shortcuts
 and under Show key-bindings containing and enter ctrl+pg.

Ah, okay. I guess I was hoping for some kind of mini-settings file that
would only add or modify those specific lines when dropped into a
folder. Another thing some extendable programs use is a scripting API
(eg Gimp uses Python, VLC has Lua, etc.), which might then provide
commands like lyx.config.converters.add(from, to, command, options) to
let plugins mess around with settings while wrapping the internal logic.

Those might be cool features for some remote future version, though I
have no idea how much demand there would be to justify them.

I was wondering, now that you're in midst of refactoring pLyX scripts,
whether you could easily come up with a Python script that could
achieve such randomized selection? Unfortunately my knowledge of
Python tends to zero, so I cannot quite hope to do this myself. I
don't actually need it now, but I'm curious if this can be done.

lyx2.1.0dev and svmult

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Hello,

I thought lyx2.1. contains svmult (Springer). But downloading lyx2.1.0dev 
gives me a lyx2.1 which says 
checking for svmult NO
I use linuxmint
and have TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2013/Debian)

What should I do?
build 2.1. newer versions 
or 

copy svmultt1 

if so,  
would I copy it to /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/
or could I copy it also to my local texmf
or even where my lyx file is?
(texhash, reconfigure, of course)

 svmultt1 contains under  template editor  templates several tex files for 
the different parts of a document

under templates author.tex figure.tex and reference.tex

which one would I load into my lyx file for the svmult style?

I was hoping there exists a template for lyx, perhaps in a more recent 
version of lyx2.1?

  Question: does a lyx layout file for svmult exist? where?


It is shipped with LyX, you'll find it in the layouts folder
(svmult.layout).


 

  Help  LaTeX Configuration tells you where you can download svmult (some

  springer site, I suppose).

 I did this and Help  LaTeX Configuration gives me:



 Springer Contributed Books

 Found: ja


Which means you have successfully installed the class and LyX finds it.


 (~/texmf/tex/latex/Springer/svmultt1/templates/

 contains among others author.lyx and referenc.lyx)


Look in the LyX examples directory. It also contains svmult example files.


 Would I use author.lyx and add the contents of my chapter into it?

 The alternative would be (and I would prefer it) to have a svmult layout.


I suppose so, but I am not familiar with that class.

 The original bibtex does not understand non-ASCII charcters.
 There is an 8-bit clean fork (bibtex8).

 If you use literal German umlauts in your *.bib file without problems,
 this is a sign that bibtex8 is used.

 Until now, I used the {\} encoding for German umlauts etc.

Then I recommend to use LaTeX Internal Character Representation (LICR) as
encoding for Cyrillic, too.

 What is the encoding of the bibtex file?

 I have put this to UTF-8; now at least LyX recognizes the reference:
 when I keep my mouse over the citation, LyX shows the Cyrillic
 characters.

 Do you use utf-8 for the exported LaTeX file?
 (DocumentSettingsLanguageEncoding)

 It is on Language Default (no inputenc) now; my language is English. 

Language Default (no inputenc) is an advanced setting. It requires you
either to use pure ASCII or to insert some input converter by hand (e.g.
in the document preamble). Use this only if absolutely required.

However, it may be that you did not change the radiobutton, so that while
the drop-down box shows this text the setting is Language default.

 As soon as I put it on UTF-8 the complete Bibliography chapter will
 disappear at the end of the document after compiling.

Strange. There should be some error report. Maybe this is related to BibTeX
not working with utf8 and will go away if you have your bibfile in pure
ASCII with LICR.

What happens with setting encoding to ASCII?

 Does Cyrillic work, if you drag-and-drop it into the document (just as
 a test)?

 Yes, although in another font than the rest of the text.

For fixing the font issue, you may try the substituefont package
(http://www.ctan.org/pkg/substitutefont has an example file in the
documentation) or (if this is possible for your document) using a font
supporting Cyrillic like Linux Libertine or Deja Vu.

...

 While in the main document, all captions etc are translated to in
 Russian and shown in perfect Cyrillic characters ??? I am clueless.
 

 Alternatively, you may try to write the Cyrillic characters as LICR
 macros (\cyra ... \cyrja) - this should solve utf-8 problems but you
 still need correct fonts and the correct language setting (so switch
 the TeX font encoding).

It seems like you need either to switch to biblatex (I don't know whether
this works with LyX) or

* LICR macros and
* \foreignlanguage{russian}{cyrillic text} around all cyrillic text
  parts in the *.bib file.
  
For conversion of UTF8 encoded characters into LICR, there may be an option
in the BibTeX program (encoding ASCII or similar).
You can also try the recode command line program or LyX:

If you apply the following patch to a copy of unicodesymbols in your
local LyX folder, LyX will do the conversion. Copy/Paste the Cyrillic
text into LyX, set LanguageEncoding to ASCII and see the result with
ViewSource or in an exported LaTeX file.

building/packaging a lyx module

[Christoph Burschka]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to write a lyx module (for my own use, though it
may end up on github eventually) that roughly imitates for Python what
knitr/sweave are doing with R:

- Provide an inset for noweb-like code blocks
- Run the file through a pre-processor to interpret those blocks
- Continue Latex compilation with the output inserted.

The first prototype seems to work, but it took quite a bit of
configuring. Adding the module was easy enough (putting the .module in
~/.lyx/layouts, the Python script in ~/.lyx/scripts), but I had to
manually add the file formats and converters to the settings; something
like
pyweave-latex : python3 $$s/scripts/python-weave.py $$i $$o

Is there any way to set up stuff like that automatically with an
installation script? Ideally, I'd want to package the module so I can
install it on other systems without manually configuring anything.

Thanks!

(using a 2.1.0 build compiled from git)

The only thing I can think of, as things now are, is to run some script 
(you can use python, since we know that should be installed) that would 
automatically add the relevant lines to the user's preferences file. Of 
course, then you have to find that file, and I'm not sure if there's a 
totally portable way to do it. Many users wouldn't even be able to find 
it themselves. But you could at least check the standard locations.

If I understand correctly, you're talking about 'buffer-next' and
'buffer-previous'. I good way to figure out what the underlying
command is, is to go to View  Messages and in the Messages box click
on the Settings pane; for Debug messages choose Selected and
toggle User commands to yes. Then change back to the Output
pane, do the action that you want (in this case changing the tab with
ctrl + up).

Another way (which only works because we trigger the desired action
with a shortcut) is to go to Tools  Preferences  Editing  Shortcuts
 and under Show key-bindings containing and enter ctrl+pg.

Ah, okay. I guess I was hoping for some kind of mini-settings file that
would only add or modify those specific lines when dropped into a
folder. Another thing some extendable programs use is a scripting API
(eg Gimp uses Python, VLC has Lua, etc.), which might then provide
commands like lyx.config.converters.add(from, to, command, options) to
let plugins mess around with settings while wrapping the internal logic.

Those might be cool features for some remote future version, though I
have no idea how much demand there would be to justify them.

I was wondering, now that you're in midst of refactoring pLyX scripts,
whether you could easily come up with a Python script that could

lyx2.1.0dev and svmult

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Hello,

I thought lyx2.1. contains svmult (Springer). But downloading lyx2.1.0dev 
gives me a lyx2.1 which says 
checking for svmult NO
I use linuxmint
and have TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2013/Debian)

What should I do?
build 2.1. newer versions 
or 

copy svmultt1 

if so,  
would I copy it to /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/
or could I copy it also to my local texmf
or even where my lyx file is?
(texhash, reconfigure, of course)

 svmultt1 contains under  template editor > templates several tex files for 
the different parts of a document

under templates author.tex figure.tex and reference.tex

which one would I load into my lyx file for the svmult style?

I was hoping there exists a template for lyx, perhaps in a more recent 
version of lyx2.1?

confused, as always:

"Language Default (no inputenc)" is an advanced setting. It requires you
either to use pure ASCII or to insert some input converter "by hand" (e.g.
in the document preamble). Use this only if absolutely required.

However, it may be that you did not change the radiobutton, so that while
the drop-down box shows this text the setting is "Language default".

Strange. There should be some error report. Maybe this is related to BibTeX
not working with utf8 and will go away if you have your bibfile in pure
ASCII with LICR.

What happens with setting encoding to ASCII?

For fixing the font issue, you may try the "substituefont" package
(http://www.ctan.org/pkg/substitutefont has an example file in the
documentation) or (if this is possible for your document) using a font
supporting Cyrillic like "Linux Libertine" or "Deja Vu".

It seems like you need either to switch to biblatex (I don't know whether
this works with LyX) or

* LICR macros and
* \foreignlanguage{russian}{} around all cyrillic text
  parts in the *.bib file.
  
For conversion of UTF8 encoded characters into LICR, there may be an option
in the BibTeX program (encoding ASCII or similar).
You can also try the "recode" command line program or LyX:

If you apply the following patch to a copy of unicodesymbols in your
local LyX folder, LyX will do the conversion. Copy/Paste the Cyrillic
text into LyX, set Language>Encoding to ASCII and see the result with
View>Source or in an exported LaTeX file.

biblatex does work with lyx, but it requires some workarounds (assuming the
question was not restricted to cyrillic)
The lyx wiki provides instructions.

building/packaging a lyx module

[Christoph Burschka]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to write a lyx module (for my own use, though it
may end up on github eventually) that roughly imitates for Python what
knitr/sweave are doing with R:

- Provide an inset for noweb-like code blocks
- Run the file through a pre-processor to interpret those blocks
- Continue Latex compilation with the output inserted.

The first prototype seems to work, but it took quite a bit of
configuring. Adding the module was easy enough (putting the .module in
~/.lyx/layouts, the Python script in ~/.lyx/scripts), but I had to
manually add the file formats and converters to the settings; something
like
pyweave->latex : python3 $$s/scripts/python-weave.py $$i $$o

Is there any way to set up stuff like that automatically with an
installation script? Ideally, I'd want to package the module so I can
install it on other systems without manually configuring anything.

Thanks!

(using a 2.1.0 build compiled from git)

The only thing I can think of, as things now are, is to run some script 
(you can use python, since we know that should be installed) that would 
automatically add the relevant lines to the user's preferences file. Of 
course, then you have to find that file, and I'm not sure if there's a 
totally portable way to do it. Many users wouldn't even be able to find 
it themselves. But you could at least check the standard locations.

I think this is standard Qt functionality, and LyX doesn't support
customizing this.

If I understand correctly, you're talking about 'buffer-next' and
'buffer-previous'. I good way to figure out what the underlying
command is, is to go to View > Messages and in the Messages box click
on the "Settings" pane; for "Debug messages" choose "Selected" and
toggle "User commands" to "yes". Then change back to the "Output
pane", do the action that you want (in this case changing the tab with
ctrl + up).

Another way (which only works because we trigger the desired action
with a shortcut) is to go to Tools > Preferences > Editing > Shortcuts
> and under "Show key-bindings containing" and enter "ctrl+pg".

Ah, okay. I guess I was hoping for some kind of mini-settings file that
would only add or modify those specific lines when dropped into a
folder. Another thing some extendable programs use is a scripting API
(eg Gimp uses Python, VLC has Lua, etc.), which might then provide
commands like "lyx.config.converters.add(from, to, command, options)" to
let plugins mess around with settings while wrapping the internal logic.

Those might be cool features for some remote future version, though I
have no idea how much demand there would be to justify them.


Cheers,
Christoph

I was wondering, now that you're in midst of refactoring pLyX scripts,

Since it is possible to sort a list, it should be straightforward. I
