Writing a journal paper with LyX

[Marcelo Alves]

Dear all,

I intend to write a paper to be submitted to the Elsevier journal Geodema.
However, when I use the template of elsarticle class in LyX the one that
comes is that of Nuclear Physics B, another Elsevier journal.
My question is: how I can use a specify template for Geoderma? Should I
modify the one of Nulclear Physics B?

Thank you.

Marcelo Alves.

Marcelo,

  Have you considered contacting the publisher and asking if they have a
LaTeX/LyX class for Geodema? That's where I'd start.

 Hi,

 it is quite possible, that the bibliography style you are using simply
 doesn't know the fields and entries you have defined, and every field
 unknown is ignored. For example, non of the bst styles i know have a
 defined date field, but all just support a year entry.


 Please consider the following example:
 %%
 \documentclass{article}
 \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
 @bok{nobook,
 author={maggie},
 title={the title},
 }
 @misc{entry,
 date={2015-05-11},
 author={maggie},
 titel={not title, but titel},
 }
 \end{filecontents}
 \begin{document}
 \nocite{*}
 \bibliographystyle{plain}
 \bibliography{\jobname}
 \end{document}
 %%


 Making biblatex work might be a fruitful endeavour, as hacking bst-styles
 is a pain.


 Best regards
 Johannes

Compile child document with cross-references

[Gilles Moyse]

I am currently working on a thesis document made of one master and several
child documents, one for each chapter.

I am using the procedure described in
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Multidoc#multipart-bib to use a separate
bibliography when compiling only one chapter (i.e. only one child document).

Though it works for the bibliography, it does not for the chapter number
and the cross-references. The former appears as Chapter 1, and the latter
as question marks.

Is there a way to compile the child document only with the correct chapter
number and cross-references?

Thanks in advance!

Yes. Use Include Only Selected Children with Maintain counters and
references in Document  Settings  Child Documents from within the master.
(this uses LaTeX' \includeonly' feature).

The real error messgae would be better. For example, inputenc doesn't 
know the option T1, but package fontnec does. I guess this is a typo, 
though.


It is also possible, that you have characters in your bibliography 
database, that are not known for your current encoding and need to be 
defined first.


There is a pretty simple algorithm to limit the reasson to a very small 
area, called *creating a minimal working example* [1]. That is 
something, in my opinion, best done down at the pure LaTeX level, as LyX 
can and its extra stuff can be quite confusing and distracting.


Once we have a bit of actual code producing the error, i am sure we can 
find a solution.

nomname renaming and header

I tried to renaming nomname to Glossar and to get the header right (it 
is at the moment taking the name of the preceeding Namensverzeichnis and 
found this one in the Internet which I put in ERT and inserted between 
Namenverzeichnis and Nomenclature


\clearpage \markboth{\nomname}{\Glossar}

which does, however, not seem to be the correct way since I get

! Undefined control sequence.

l.3203 ...\clearpage \markboth{\nomname}{\Glossar}

The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

If you do not see the option, it is not accommodated by the template you
have chosen. The shadow theme definitely allows for it, so try that first.

Writing a journal paper with LyX

Dear all,

I intend to write a paper to be submitted to the Elsevier journal Geodema.
However, when I use the template of elsarticle class in LyX the one that

My question is: how I can use a specify template for Geoderma? Should I
modify the one of Nulclear Physics B?

Thank you.

 Hi,

 it is quite possible, that the bibliography style you are using simply
 doesn't know the fields and entries you have defined, and every field

\Glossar is not a known command. Try in preamble:

\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand\nomname{Glossar}}

plus in the text:

\clearpage \markboth{\nomname}{\nomname}

Does this do what you want when inserted as ERT before your Nomenclature?

\renewcommand{\nomname}{Glossar}

Writing a journal paper with LyX

[Marcelo Alves]

Dear all,

I intend to write a paper to be submitted to the Elsevier journal Geodema.
However, when I use the template of elsarticle class in LyX the one that
comes is that of Nuclear Physics B, another Elsevier journal.
My question is: how I can use a specify template for Geoderma? Should I
modify the one of Nulclear Physics B?

Thank you.

Marcelo Alves.

Marcelo,

  Have you considered contacting the publisher and asking if they have a
LaTeX/LyX class for Geodema? That's where I'd start.

Hi,

it is quite possible, that the bibliography style you are using simply
doesn't know the fields and entries you have defined, and every field
unknown is ignored. For example, non of the bst styles i know have a
defined date field, but all just support a year entry.


Please consider the following example:
%%
\documentclass{article}
 \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
 @bok{nobook,
 author={maggie},
 title={the title},
 }
 @misc{entry,
 date={2015-05-11},
 author={maggie},
 titel={not title, but titel},
}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}
%%


Making biblatex work might be a fruitful endeavour, as hacking bst-styles
is a pain.


Best regards
Johannes





The real error messgae would be better. For example, inputenc doesn't 
know the option T1, but package fontnec does. I guess this is a typo, 
though.


It is also possible, that you have characters in your bibliography 
database, that are not known for your current encoding and need to be 
defined first.


There is a pretty simple algorithm to limit the reasson to a very small 
area, called *creating a minimal working example* [1]. That is 
something, in my opinion, best done down at the pure LaTeX level, as LyX 
can and its extra stuff can be quite confusing and distracting.


Once we have a bit of actual code producing the error, i am sure we can 
find a solution.

Compile child document with cross-references

[Gilles Moyse]

I am currently working on a thesis document made of one master and several
child documents, one for each chapter.

I am using the procedure described in
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Multidoc#multipart-bib to use a separate
bibliography when compiling only one chapter (i.e. only one child document).

Though it works for the bibliography, it does not for the chapter number
and the cross-references. The former appears as Chapter 1, and the latter
as question marks.

Is there a way to compile the child document only with the correct chapter
number and cross-references?

Thanks in advance!

Yes. Use "Include Only Selected Children" with "Maintain counters and
references" in Document > Settings > Child Documents from within the master.
(this uses LaTeX' \includeonly' feature).

"Problem" environment

[shiv]

I am preparing some home work in LyX and would like to have a series of
"Problem"s. I used the "Problem" environment, but, if I have two "Problem"
environments in succession LyX merges them together. I can artifically
insert a Ctrl-space in "Standard" environment between two "Problem"
environments, but I wonder if I am doing something wrong. Thanks for any help.

I am LyX 2.1.3.

Hi Shiv,

In the layout dropdown box, choose "Separator". Does that work?
