Re: Lyx 2.0 can\'t read Lyx 1.6.x documents
12/02/2014 10:25, Ralf Glaser, track IT: I tested adding the LyX PATH extension to the PATH variable and LyX works fine now. Unfortunately this results in cygwins's python version being no longer accessible as LyX's python is being used now. It's a workaround but i'd really like to make LyX add it's PATH prefix as intended. I noticed that the PATH variable is actually called 'Path' instead of 'PATH' on my WinXP machine. Maybe this matters... What version of LyX is this? Win32 or cygwin? LyX is supposed to set the path correctly when running. JMarc
Unicode in ERT inserts
Hi, So i have run into the issue that it would be good to use a unicode character within an ERT, but this causes a failure, one can type the character just fine in lyx, but it isn't converted during compilation. a minimal example is here http://goo.gl/d1gL6D what method should i be using to get unicode symbols into the ERT? I am using ERT becuase i need to use the Expex linguistics macros... it strikes me that maybe i should create a module that would present the functionality of the ERT code to Lyx, would this solve the issue of entering unicode within these blocks? is their documentation on writing modules in lyx that i can use as a reference? i had a quick look but could find any. Cheers Joe

Cheers Joe I don't know what Expex is or what you are trying to do exactly, and your example file didn't clarify it for me, because you can just use the symbol ə outside ERT and typeset the result without problems. But one way around the problem in LyX specifically is to enter your unicode symbols in LyX proper, and then surround them on either side by ERT. It would look like this, with the parts in parentheses being in ERT and the parts outside parentheses being in straight LyX text--a transcription of supper with a syllabic ɹ: sʌp(\textsyllabic{)ɹ(}) Just declare \usepackage{tipa} in the preamble and everything should work.
