I did what you said above now. But still
 not working. Here is what I did:

 Put the xetexCV.layout file in the same working 
folder as your LyX file.

Did that too.


 The example LyX file uses the font Minion Pro,
which is a licensed font
you have to purchase. I substituted Fontin Regular.
 You also need Fontin
Sans. Both are available for free here:

I installed those 2 fonts also with Font Book.

 
 http://www.exljbris.com
 
 Use Font Book to add fonts to your OS X installation. 
In LyX, with the example LyX file open, use
 Document - Settings - Fonts.
 Check the choice to use non-Tex fonts, then
 change the Roman font from
 Minion Pro to Fontin
 Regular and the Sans font to Fontin Sans. 

After installing those fonts, I have one option
 for Fontin Regular,
but I have 10 different 'Fontin Sans' choices.
 One of these is called
 'Fontin Sans Regular' - should I choose this
 one? (For now, I have done so).


 
 
 I also had to go into Documents - Settings - LaTeX Preamble
 and edit the
path to JRR-Tolkien.jpg to 
the correct one for my installation rather than
the author's.


I tried doing that. The method I used to get
 the address was clicking 'get
info' on the jpg file, 
and then where it says 'where', I copied the address.
It looks like this:
/Applications/Lyx stuff/For making CV/xetexCV-LyX

So I pasted exactly that to replace the original
 address, so it now looks
like this:

\cvimage{/Applications/Lyx stuff/For making

Was that right?

I am new to Lyx, and using version 2.0.6, and Mac OS 10.9.1

When I click on the EYES BUTTON on a little one page example file for

So it does seem slow. If I install the new beta version, will I loose the

inside one of the folders within the app itself while trying to get this
xetexCV document class working (still getting help on that in another thread).

Dear LYX developers,

I love the LYX software, but there are just a few minor problems that I've not 
been able to resolve.

1)  I'm writing a book and I would like to place example calculations in shaded boxes 
which are clearly delineated from the main text.  Some example calculations are quite 
long so page breaks are needed.  However, it seems that page breaks are only allowed with 
the Box (simple frame, page breaks) options.  It would be great if shaded 
boxes could also include page breaks.


Probably what you want is shading in the one that allows page breaks. I 
don't use boxes, so I'm no expert, but there is tons of info on how to 
customize these boxes in the Embedded Objects manual. Remember, this is 
LaTeX. You can do anything. But LyX can't do everything. Sometimes you 
have to get your hands dirty.



2)  I have tried to convince my students and colleagues to switch from MS Word 
to LYX.  The one troublesome point for most of them is that certain key style 
files are not available for LYX.  A website that used to supply REVTEX4.1 is no 
longer working.  Many journals supply LATEX templates, and for someone who 
knows both LYX and LATEX well, it should be possible to create equivalent LYX 
templates.


LyX comes with support for Revtex 4.1, unless I'm mistaken. You have to 
install the class itself, but there is a layout file for it.


Creating layouts for journal class files is not a hard thing to do. But 
it's something that someone who actually uses that class needs to do. 
People here have done such things many times. And if you'd like to try, 
then we'll all be happy to answer questions, etc.

Re: Trying to install xetexCV document class

[Richard Talley]

Hi Justin,

It's a very bad practice to put working documents anywhere in your
Applications folder (among other things the permissions won't be correct).
The Applications folder belongs to the system and should be reserved for
applications. Put your own documents somewhere in your home directory.

You might drop the xetexCV-LyX folder containing the four files for the
Tolkien CV example into your Documents folder. Then the path for the image
on your machine would be:

/Users/justinJustin/Documents/xetexCV-LyX/JRR-Tolkien.jpg

(Please note that the LaTeX Preamble for the example LyX file has an
explicit comment: The Image Path Cannot Include Spaces. The path you were
trying to use included spaces.)

I also got the 'unknown token' error when I first started playing with this
example file. It went away once I set the document to use fonts actually
installed on my system.

Your installation is defaulting to using a DVI output, which you probably
don't want or need to mess with. If you look under the View menu in LyX
with the example file loaded, the default (which is bound to Command-R and
to the 'eyes' icon on the toolbar) is set to DVI something (probably
LuaTeX). Set the document to explicitly use PDF (XeTeX) in Document -
Settings - Output - Default Output Format. Once you have taken care of
the other problems and can successfully typeset the example file, the pdf
should automatically open in whatever you have set as a default pdf viewer
(probably Preview).

The font errors you're getting mean that the fonts you installed don't have
the correct sizing information for the way they're being used in this
document. Two things to try:

1. Try specifying other fonts already installed on your system. Note that
working through XeTeX, LyX has no way to determine which fonts are Serif
(Roman) and which are Sans Serif so it just lists them all. Use FontBook to
examine the fonts you have installed.

2. I bet you installed Type1 Fontin fonts because that's what the font
designer advised on his downloads page. Ignore that advice. Using FontBook
remove the Type1 fonts then download and install the OpenType ones instead.

And yes, use the Fontin Regular for Roman and Fontin Sans Regular for Sans.
That's what the xetexCV class was designed around and gives a very nice
result.

can't get LyX to open pdfs in Skim

[Richard Talley]

When I was running LyX 1.6.x, I had no problems getting LyX and Skim to
sync, but I can't get it working with LyX 2.0.6.

No matter what I do, generated pdfs continue to open in Preview rather than
Skim.

LyX has the correct (according to the wiki) command built-in - open LyX
Preferences - Output and in PDF command put
/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline $$n $$o $$t.

And in Document - Settings enable Synchronize with Output (I've saved that
as default for all my documents).

I'm generating pdfs with PDF (XeTeX) for the most of my test documents, as
that is what I usually use, but I also tried a document with PDF
(pdflatex).

I'm running LyX 2.0.6, Skim 1.4.7 and MacTeX 2013 (which I updated about a
week ago) on OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). Skim.app is in /Applications.

I've also made the appropriate settings in Skim, but I need to get LyX -
Skim sync going before I worry about the reverse.

I've looked in the LyX bug trac, this mailing list and also the macosx-tex
(TeX on Mac OS X) mailing list. I seem to be doing things correctly.

I know I could force the pdfs to open in Skim by setting all pdfs to open
in Skim, but I neither want nor should have to do that.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting this?

Advice on choosing a document class.

[Colin Kincaid Williams]

I just wrote the list about my troubles creating a table with the article
document class. I was creating a table inside a paragraph in the document
class. For some reason this isn't allowed.

What I'm trying to do is create a worksheet with a bunch of tables inside
of it. It's possible that I might use a 2 column format. I'm really having
trouble deciding which document class to start with and how to partition
it. I've been pouring through the various manuals, but feeling overwhelmed.

 Can anybody give some advice on a class to use to create my worksheet?

Why would you want to do that? Why could you not hit Enter where you
want to put the table, insert the table there, and let the rest of the
former paragraph be its own paragraph. I know you can do that with
(X)html, but it makes very little sense semantically: A table is
something very different from a paragraph.

 
 What I'm trying to do is create a worksheet with a bunch of tables
 inside of it. 

Why not just split the text of your worksheet to alternate with tables?
If you're worried about spacing, you can redefine body text to have
zero top or bottom separation, via a layout file.

 
  Can anybody give some advice on a class to use to create my

If it were me, I'd use a layout file to create the proper Environments
(paragraph styles) to accommodate your need.

Dear LYX developers,

I love the LYX software, but there are just a few minor problems that I've not 
been able to resolve.

1)  I'm writing a book and I would like to place example calculations in shaded boxes 
which are clearly delineated from the main text.  Some example calculations are quite 
long so page breaks are needed.  However, it seems that page breaks are only allowed with 
the Box (simple frame, page breaks) options.  It would be great if shaded 
boxes could also include page breaks.


Probably what you want is shading in the one that allows page breaks. I 
don't use boxes, so I'm no expert, but there is tons of info on how to 
customize these boxes in the Embedded Objects manual. Remember, this is 
LaTeX. You can do anything. But LyX can't do everything. Sometimes you 
have to get your hands dirty.



2)  I have tried to convince my students and colleagues to switch from MS Word 
to LYX.  The one troublesome point for most of them is that certain key style 
files are not available for LYX.  A website that used to supply REVTEX4.1 is no 
longer working.  Many journals supply LATEX templates, and for someone who 
knows both LYX and LATEX well, it should be possible to create equivalent LYX 
templates.


LyX comes with support for Revtex 4.1, unless I'm mistaken. You have to 
install the class itself, but there is a layout file for it.


Creating layouts for journal class files is not a hard thing to do. But 
it's something that someone who actually uses that class needs to do. 
People here have done such things many times. And if you'd like to try, 
then we'll all be happy to answer questions, etc.

Re: Trying to install xetexCV document class

[Richard Talley]

Hi Justin,

It's a very bad practice to put working documents anywhere in your
Applications folder (among other things the permissions won't be correct).
The Applications folder belongs to the system and should be reserved for
applications. Put your own documents somewhere in your home directory.

You might drop the xetexCV-LyX folder containing the four files for the
Tolkien CV example into your Documents folder. Then the path for the image
on your machine would be:

/Users/justinJustin/Documents/xetexCV-LyX/JRR-Tolkien.jpg

(Please note that the LaTeX Preamble for the example LyX file has an
explicit comment: The Image Path Cannot Include Spaces. The path you were
trying to use included spaces.)

I also got the 'unknown token' error when I first started playing with this
example file. It went away once I set the document to use fonts actually
installed on my system.

Your installation is defaulting to using a DVI output, which you probably
don't want or need to mess with. If you look under the View menu in LyX
with the example file loaded, the default (which is bound to Command-R and
to the 'eyes' icon on the toolbar) is set to DVI something (probably
LuaTeX). Set the document to explicitly use PDF (XeTeX) in Document -
Settings - Output - Default Output Format. Once you have taken care of
the other problems and can successfully typeset the example file, the pdf
should automatically open in whatever you have set as a default pdf viewer
(probably Preview).

The font errors you're getting mean that the fonts you installed don't have
the correct sizing information for the way they're being used in this
document. Two things to try:

1. Try specifying other fonts already installed on your system. Note that
working through XeTeX, LyX has no way to determine which fonts are Serif
(Roman) and which are Sans Serif so it just lists them all. Use FontBook to
examine the fonts you have installed.

2. I bet you installed Type1 Fontin fonts because that's what the font
designer advised on his downloads page. Ignore that advice. Using FontBook
remove the Type1 fonts then download and install the OpenType ones instead.

And yes, use the Fontin Regular for Roman and Fontin Sans Regular for Sans.
That's what the xetexCV class was designed around and gives a very nice
result.

  Use Font Book to add fonts to your OS X installation.
 In LyX, with the example LyX file open, use
  Document - Settings - Fonts.
  Check the choice to use non-Tex fonts, then
  change the Roman font from
  Minion Pro to Fontin
  Regular and the Sans font to Fontin Sans.

 After installing those fonts, I have one option

can't get LyX to open pdfs in Skim

[Richard Talley]

When I was running LyX 1.6.x, I had no problems getting LyX and Skim to
sync, but I can't get it working with LyX 2.0.6.

No matter what I do, generated pdfs continue to open in Preview rather than
Skim.

LyX has the correct (according to the wiki) command built-in - open LyX
Preferences - Output and in PDF command put
/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline $$n $$o $$t.

And in Document - Settings enable Synchronize with Output (I've saved that
as default for all my documents).

I'm generating pdfs with PDF (XeTeX) for the most of my test documents, as
that is what I usually use, but I also tried a document with PDF
(pdflatex).

I'm running LyX 2.0.6, Skim 1.4.7 and MacTeX 2013 (which I updated about a
week ago) on OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). Skim.app is in /Applications.

I've also made the appropriate settings in Skim, but I need to get LyX -
Skim sync going before I worry about the reverse.

I've looked in the LyX bug trac, this mailing list and also the macosx-tex
(TeX on Mac OS X) mailing list. I seem to be doing things correctly.

I know I could force the pdfs to open in Skim by setting all pdfs to open
in Skim, but I neither want nor should have to do that.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting this?

Advice on choosing a document class.

[Colin Kincaid Williams]

I just wrote the list about my troubles creating a table with the article
document class. I was creating a table inside a paragraph in the document
class. For some reason this isn't allowed.

What I'm trying to do is create a worksheet with a bunch of tables inside
of it. It's possible that I might use a 2 column format. I'm really having
trouble deciding which document class to start with and how to partition
it. I've been pouring through the various manuals, but feeling overwhelmed.

 Can anybody give some advice on a class to use to create my worksheet?

Why would you want to do that? Why could you not hit Enter where you
want to put the table, insert the table there, and let the rest of the
former paragraph be its own paragraph. I know you can do that with
(X)html, but it makes very little sense semantically: A table is
something very different from a paragraph.

 
 What I'm trying to do is create a worksheet with a bunch of tables

Why not just split the text of your worksheet to alternate with tables?
If you're worried about spacing, you can redefine body text to have
zero top or bottom separation, via a layout file.

If it were me, I'd use a layout file to create the proper Environments

I am new to Lyx, and using version 2.0.6, and Mac OS 10.9.1

When I click on the EYES BUTTON on a little one page example file for
xetexCV, it takes 1 minute 57 seconds for lyx to come up with anything, and
that 'anything' is an error message saying "File does not exist:
/var/folders/zh/
5qprckdd5bg4xn5ddpqy7np8gn/T/
lyx_tmpdir.L10103/lyx_tmpbuf7/example4-xetex4-LyX.dvi"


So it does seem slow. If I install the new beta version, will I loose the
changes I made to the lyx I already installed? For example I put some things
inside one of the folders within the app itself while trying to get this
xetexCV document class working (still getting help on that in another thread).

Thanks.

Dear LYX developers,

I love the LYX software, but there are just a few minor problems that I've not 
been able to resolve.

1)  I'm writing a book and I would like to place example calculations in shaded boxes 
which are clearly delineated from the main text.  Some example calculations are quite 
long so page breaks are needed.  However, it seems that page breaks are only allowed with 
the "Box (simple frame, page breaks)" options.  It would be great if shaded 
boxes could also include page breaks.


Probably what you want is shading in the one that allows page breaks. I 
don't use boxes, so I'm no expert, but there is tons of info on how to 
customize these boxes in the Embedded Objects manual. Remember, this is 
LaTeX. You can do anything. But LyX can't do everything. Sometimes you 
have to get your hands dirty.



2)  I have tried to convince my students and colleagues to switch from MS Word 
to LYX.  The one troublesome point for most of them is that certain key style 
files are not available for LYX.  A website that used to supply REVTEX4.1 is no 
longer working.  Many journals supply LATEX templates, and for someone who 
knows both LYX and LATEX well, it should be possible to create equivalent LYX 
templates.


LyX comes with support for Revtex 4.1, unless I'm mistaken. You have to 
install the class itself, but there is a layout file for it.


Creating layouts for journal class files is not a hard thing to do. But 
it's something that someone who actually uses that class needs to do. 
People here have done such things many times. And if you'd like to try, 
then we'll all be happy to answer questions, etc.

Re: Trying to install xetexCV document class

[Richard Talley]

Hi Justin,

It's a very bad practice to put working documents anywhere in your
Applications folder (among other things the permissions won't be correct).
The Applications folder belongs to the system and should be reserved for
applications. Put your own documents somewhere in your home directory.

You might drop the xetexCV-LyX folder containing the four files for the
Tolkien CV example into your Documents folder. Then the path for the image
on your machine would be:

/Users/justinJustin/Documents/xetexCV-LyX/JRR-Tolkien.jpg

(Please note that the LaTeX Preamble for the example LyX file has an
explicit comment: "The Image Path Cannot Include Spaces". The path you were
trying to use included spaces.)

I also got the 'unknown token' error when I first started playing with this
example file. It went away once I set the document to use fonts actually
installed on my system.

Your installation is defaulting to using a DVI output, which you probably
don't want or need to mess with. If you look under the View menu in LyX
with the example file loaded, the default (which is bound to Command-R and
to the 'eyes' icon on the toolbar) is set to DVI something (probably
LuaTeX). Set the document to explicitly use PDF (XeTeX) in Document ->
Settings -> Output -> Default Output Format. Once you have taken care of
the other problems and can successfully typeset the example file, the pdf
should automatically open in whatever you have set as a default pdf viewer
(probably Preview).

The font errors you're getting mean that the fonts you installed don't have
the correct sizing information for the way they're being used in this
document. Two things to try:

1. Try specifying other fonts already installed on your system. Note that
working through XeTeX, LyX has no way to determine which fonts are Serif
(Roman) and which are Sans Serif so it just lists them all. Use FontBook to
examine the fonts you have installed.

2. I bet you installed Type1 Fontin fonts because that's what the font
designer advised on his downloads page. Ignore that advice. Using FontBook
remove the Type1 fonts then download and install the OpenType ones instead.

And yes, use the Fontin Regular for Roman and Fontin Sans Regular for Sans.
That's what the xetexCV class was designed around and gives a very nice
result.

Yes, you'll loose your changes.

You should rename your LyX 2.0.6 application folder before if you want to 
preserve it.

But, as far as I understood the solution to your problem (in the other thread) 
you
should have made the modifications inside the library folder of your home 
directory.

LaTeX -> LyX conversion

[Sinan Pakkan]

Hi again,

I guess I should have been a little more specific on the problem
encountered in my previous message.

When I try to preview the file in pdf format or export it into LaTeX
(plain), I get the following error:

Error while previewing format: pdf2File
'C:/Users/Sinan/AppData/Local/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.Hp5784/lyx_tmpbuf2/Thesis_LyX.tex'
was not closed properly.

Any help would be appreciated.

can't get LyX to open pdfs in Skim

[Richard Talley]

When I was running LyX 1.6.x, I had no problems getting LyX and Skim to
sync, but I can't get it working with LyX 2.0.6.

No matter what I do, generated pdfs continue to open in Preview rather than
Skim.

LyX has the correct (according to the wiki) command built-in - open LyX
Preferences -> Output and in PDF command put
/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline $$n $$o $$t.

And in Document -> Settings enable Synchronize with Output (I've saved that
as default for all my documents).

I'm generating pdfs with PDF (XeTeX) for the most of my test documents, as
that is what I usually use, but I also tried a document with PDF
(pdflatex).

I'm running LyX 2.0.6, Skim 1.4.7 and MacTeX 2013 (which I updated about a
week ago) on OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). Skim.app is in /Applications.

I've also made the appropriate settings in Skim, but I need to get LyX ->
Skim sync going before I worry about the reverse.

I've looked in the LyX bug trac, this mailing list and also the macosx-tex
(TeX on Mac OS X) mailing list. I seem to be doing things correctly.

I know I could force the pdfs to open in Skim by setting all pdfs to open
in Skim, but I neither want nor should have to do that.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting this?

Advice on choosing a document class.

[Colin Kincaid Williams]

I just wrote the list about my troubles creating a table with the article
document class. I was creating a table inside a paragraph in the document
class. For some reason this isn't allowed.

What I'm trying to do is create a worksheet with a bunch of tables inside
of it. It's possible that I might use a 2 column format. I'm really having
trouble deciding which document class to start with and how to partition
it. I've been pouring through the various manuals, but feeling overwhelmed.

 Can anybody give some advice on a class to use to create my worksheet?

Why would you want to do that? Why could you not hit Enter where you
want to put the table, insert the table there, and let the rest of the
former paragraph be its own paragraph. I know you can do that with
(X)html, but it makes very little sense semantically: A table is
something very different from a paragraph.

Why not just split the text of your worksheet to alternate with tables?
If you're worried about spacing, you can redefine body text to have
zero top or bottom separation, via a layout file.

If it were me, I'd use a layout file to create the proper Environments
(paragraph styles) to accommodate your need.
