Dear list members:

I would like to make a table looking someting like this:

Article Title
Product . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ID #
Another product . . . . . . . .  ID #
Third product . . . . . . . . . . .ID #

I tried the tabbing environment but I can't make the dotfill
in it.

What would be a good solution?
Using ERT is not a problem if I have to.

Thanks,

Hi,
have you tried
InsertFormattingHorizontal SpaceHorizontal Fill and the select the 
Fill Pattern (dots)

Hopefully this works in a table as well (havn't tried it)

Yeah, but that's only for bibtex. Remember, we are only tricking LyX

Use this instead of \printbibliography

\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[heading=bibintoc]



Philip,
great! - that did it!

I hope some good guys will attend to this making the usage of biblatex 
in LyX as easy as that of bibtex.


Many thanks,

Ubuntu Trusty testers needed

[Jean-Marc Lasgouttes]

Dear all,

Ubuntu trusty 14.04, the long term support version, currently only has 
LyX 2.0.6. While it is not possible in a LTS version to upgrade to the 
latest LyX version[*], it has been decided to update to the latest 2.0.x 
version, that is 2.0.8.1.


This is now accessible in the proposed channel. I encourage all Ubuntu 
trusty users to try out this version, and report any problem on this bug 
report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1303688

Note that the comment please upgrade to 2.1.3 instead does not count :)

At least as a hack in the current code that will do this very same thing 
(biblatex with natbib compatibility) when biber is selected as a 
processor. Wishful thinking... :)

Re: biblatex.module and biber not available

[Steve Burnham]

I'm running the same setup as you are. I used the MacTeX distribution to
get TeX installed and then I just installed LyX. That is the only software
I had to install. I have only used BibTeX and that has always worked just
fine for me. I don't have any experience with biblatex though. If you want
to send an example file over I'm happy to test it out just to confirm if
there are issues or not but I don't know if I will be much help in the

Re: Ubuntu Trusty testers needed

[Benedict Holland]

Just curious, why are we testing old versions of an application with known
catastrophic bugs? Wasn't the uncorrupted save feature implemented in the
2.1 branch? Also, I have been using the 2.1.3 exclusively for a long time
and I admit that I am a power user. It is stable as anything I use and when
combined with LuaTex, it produces beamer presentations and pdf documents
that are absolutely stunning. This includes images. XeLatex had problems
for me when importing PDF images but LuaTex does it far better. None of
this has to do with Lyx though. Lyx is performing beautifully and I am
using it to the fullest extent possible.

The ONLY thing I have a gripe about is the lack of biblatex and biber
support. I get it, but I wish that it was there.

Re: Bibliography does not print when using biblatex instead of bibtex

[Benedict Holland]

I have been working with biblatex now for over a year. It is exceptionally
complex. It might actually be too complex to automate. I can't even think
up a decent UI to present the hundreds of different configuration options,
and there are probably even more than I use. The documentation alone is
several hundred pages.

The problem is that bibliogrophy generation is very very complicated. It
doesn't sound like it should be until you think about the dozens---possibly
hundreds---of different ways of doing it. Each journal has their own unique
way. Nothing is standard. There are regional differences between the US and
the EU. There are also no good defaults, even regionally. From a technical
perspective (I thought a lot about this), it is very challenging. It also
has only 1 major benefit and that is that biblatex handles unicode
flawlessly. Apart from that, I don't think it is that unreasonable to
assume that if you are using biblatex and biber that you are a bit more
advanced. You might not be a power user but you are also not just a button
presser either.

BTW, to the person who stated that linux handles paths incorrectly, no.
Just no. It doesn't. Windows handles paths incorrectly because everything
is capitalized thanks to really epically bad programming in the days of
Dos. Unix has always had case specific paths and this is way it should be.
It just means you, as the end user, need to be a bit careful.

Start lyx.
Look into 'Help-About LyX-Version'.
For me it reads 'User directory: ~/.lyx2.1'

 I also checked my old system, there the biblatex.module ist not selected, but 
 biber. Here it does not even appear, so it is not only biblatex.module, but 
 also Biber I could not use. I would prefer Biber, because I have used it in

After installing you have to reconfigure.
Select 'Tools-Reconfigure'

Using Sweave with LyX

[Rich Shepard]

  Just read Using Sweave with LYX by Yihui Xie, Gregor Gorjanc, and Jean-Marc
Lasgouttes and have a couple of questions not answered in that brief
document. And I have added the Sweave module to the prefix and reconfigured
LyX. BTW, running LyX-2.1.3 on Slackware-14.1 here.

  1.) When the document refers to the 'Chunk' environment I assume that's
the LyX-code in the menu and is different from Insert - TeX code (C-l on my
system) which inserts the infamous ERT box. As a test, I opened a LaTeX box and
inserted
 str(b.cast)
to produce the structure of that data.frame. Attempting to see if that
worked brings me to the second question. Could not get a page preview with
C-x p nor compile it with pdflatex.

  2.) If the document suffix is supposed to be .Rnw rather than .lyx, how do
I open the .Rnw version in LyX since the menu allows only files with the
.lyx suffix?

The testing here, I take it, is just to make sure that 2.0.8.1 works as 
expected on Ubuntu 14.04, which is still live (and widely used) and 
whose policies prohibit an upgrade to 2.1.x. Despite all the bugfixes.

Yeah, but that's only for bibtex. Remember, we are only tricking LyX

Use this instead of \printbibliography

\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[heading=bibintoc]



Philip,
great! - that did it!

I hope some good guys will attend to this making the usage of biblatex

Ubuntu Trusty testers needed

[Jean-Marc Lasgouttes]

Dear all,

Ubuntu trusty 14.04, the long term support version, currently only has 
LyX 2.0.6. While it is not possible in a LTS version to upgrade to the 
latest LyX version[*], it has been decided to update to the latest 2.0.x 
version, that is 2.0.8.1.


This is now accessible in the proposed channel. I encourage all Ubuntu 
trusty users to try out this version, and report any problem on this bug 
report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1303688

Note that the comment please upgrade to 2.1.3 instead does not count :)

biblatex.module and biber not available

[jezZiFeR]

Hello,

I have installed TeX and LyX on my new Laptop (OSX10.10) and now LyX could not 
find biber or the bib latex.module. In TeX Live Utility biber is installed, 
biblatex also is. Do I have to install anything else, or why could I not find 
the appropriate modules in document/preferences/modules.

Thanks for help

Re: biblatex.module and biber not available

I'm running the same setup as you are. I used the MacTeX distribution to
get TeX installed and then I just installed LyX. That is the only software
I had to install. I have only used BibTeX and that has always worked just
fine for me. I don't have any experience with biblatex though. If you want
to send an example file over I'm happy to test it out just to confirm if
there are issues or not but I don't know if I will be much help in the
trouble shooting area.

Re: Bibliography does not print when using biblatex instead of bibtex

[Benedict Holland]

I have been working with biblatex now for over a year. It is exceptionally
complex. It might actually be too complex to automate. I can't even think
up a decent UI to present the hundreds of different configuration options,
and there are probably even more than I use. The documentation alone is
several hundred pages.

The problem is that bibliogrophy generation is very very complicated. It
doesn't sound like it should be until you think about the dozens---possibly
hundreds---of different ways of doing it. Each journal has their own unique
way. Nothing is standard. There are regional differences between the US and
the EU. There are also no good defaults, even regionally. From a technical
perspective (I thought a lot about this), it is very challenging. It also
has only 1 major benefit and that is that biblatex handles unicode
flawlessly. Apart from that, I don't think it is that unreasonable to
assume that if you are using biblatex and biber that you are a bit more
advanced. You might not be a power user but you are also not just a button
presser either.

BTW, to the person who stated that linux handles paths incorrectly, no.
Just no. It doesn't. Windows handles paths incorrectly because everything
is capitalized thanks to really epically bad programming in the days of
Dos. Unix has always had case specific paths and this is way it should be.
It just means you, as the end user, need to be a bit careful.

Re: biblatex.module and biber not available

[jezZiFeR]

Thanks, Kornel,

it is strange, that MacTeX says, that biblatex is installed, and biber also. 
Both are not available. I reinstalled both now, via teX Live Utility but it did 
not change anything. I do not really understand where to add the file you 
mention, because in my usr no layouts-directory exists (OSX10.10.3).

I also checked my old system, there the biblatex.module ist not selected, but 
biber. Here it does not even appear, so it is not only biblatex.module, but 
also Biber I could not use. I would prefer Biber, because I have used it in the 
last year and it worked well. Why does the Biber-module not appear in my 
document preferences?

Thanks

Using Sweave with LyX

[Rich Shepard]

  Just read Using Sweave with LYX by Yihui Xie, Gregor Gorjanc, and Jean-Marc
Lasgouttes and have a couple of questions not answered in that brief
document. And I have added the Sweave module to the prefix and reconfigured
LyX. BTW, running LyX-2.1.3 on Slackware-14.1 here.

  1.) When the document refers to the 'Chunk' environment I assume that's
the LyX-code in the menu and is different from Insert - TeX code (C-l on my
system) which inserts the infamous ERT box. As a test, I opened a LaTeX box and
inserted
 str(b.cast)
to produce the structure of that data.frame. Attempting to see if that
worked brings me to the second question. Could not get a page preview with
C-x p nor compile it with pdflatex.

  2.) If the document suffix is supposed to be .Rnw rather than .lyx, how do
I open the .Rnw version in LyX since the menu allows only files with the
.lyx suffix?

Ubuntu Trusty testers needed

[Jean-Marc Lasgouttes]

Dear all,

Ubuntu trusty 14.04, the long term support version, currently only has 
LyX 2.0.6. While it is not possible in a LTS version to upgrade to the 
latest LyX version[*], it has been decided to update to the latest 2.0.x 
version, that is 2.0.8.1.


This is now accessible in the proposed channel. I encourage all Ubuntu 
trusty users to try out this version, and report any problem on this bug 
report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1303688

Thanks, JMarc. I would only mention that the release PPA contains

biblatex.module and biber not available

Hello,

I have installed TeX and LyX on my new Laptop (OSX10.10) and now LyX could not 
find biber or the bib latex.module. In TeX Live Utility biber is installed, 
biblatex also is. Do I have to install anything else, or why could I not find 
the appropriate modules in document/preferences/modules.

Thanks for help

Re: biblatex.module and biber not available

I'm running the same setup as you are. I used the MacTeX distribution to

I had to install. I have only used BibTeX and that has always worked just
fine for me. I don't have any experience with biblatex though. If you want

there are issues or not but I don't know if I will be much help in the

Re: Bibliography does not print when using biblatex instead of bibtex

[Benedict Holland]

I have been working with biblatex now for over a year. It is exceptionally
complex. It might actually be too complex to automate. I can't even think
up a decent UI to present the hundreds of different configuration options,
and there are probably even more than I use. The documentation alone is
several hundred pages.

The problem is that bibliogrophy generation is very very complicated. It
doesn't sound like it should be until you think about the dozens---possibly
hundreds---of different ways of doing it. Each journal has their own unique
way. Nothing is standard. There are regional differences between the US and
the EU. There are also no good defaults, even regionally. From a technical
perspective (I thought a lot about this), it is very challenging. It also
has only 1 major benefit and that is that biblatex handles unicode
flawlessly. Apart from that, I don't think it is that unreasonable to
assume that if you are using biblatex and biber that you are a bit more
advanced. You might not be a power user but you are also not just a button
presser either.

BTW, to the person who stated that linux handles paths incorrectly, no.
Just no. It doesn't. Windows handles paths incorrectly because everything
is capitalized thanks to really epically bad programming in the days of
Dos. Unix has always had case specific paths and this is way it should be.
It just means you, as the end user, need to be a bit careful.

Re: biblatex.module and biber not available

[jezZiFeR]

Thanks, Kornel,

it is strange, that MacTeX says, that biblatex is installed, and biber also. 
Both are not available. I reinstalled both now, via teX Live Utility but it did 
not change anything. I do not really understand where to add the file you 
mention, because in my usr no layouts-directory exists (OSX10.10.3).

I also checked my old system, there the biblatex.module ist not selected, but 
biber. Here it does not even appear, so it is not only biblatex.module, but 
also Biber I could not use. I would prefer Biber, because I have used it in the 
last year and it worked well. Why does the Biber-module not appear in my 
document preferences?

Thanks

Start lyx.
Look into 'Help->About LyX->Version'.
For me it reads 'User directory: ~/.lyx2.1'

After installing you have to reconfigure.

Using Sweave with LyX

[Rich Shepard]

  Just read "Using Sweave with LYX" by Yihui Xie, Gregor Gorjanc, and Jean-Marc
Lasgouttes and have a couple of questions not answered in that brief
document. And I have added the Sweave module to the prefix and reconfigured
LyX. BTW, running LyX-2.1.3 on Slackware-14.1 here.

  1.) When the document refers to the 'Chunk' environment I assume that's
the LyX-code in the menu and is different from Insert -> TeX code (C-l on my
system) which inserts the infamous ERT box. As a test, I opened a LaTeX box and
inserted
> str(b.cast)
to produce the structure of that data.frame. Attempting to see if that
worked brings me to the second question. Could not get a page preview with
C-x p nor compile it with pdflatex.

  2.) If the document suffix is supposed to be .Rnw rather than .lyx, how do
I open the .Rnw version in LyX since the menu allows only files with the
.lyx suffix?

 Here's the view of the attempt to compile the document:

  Both the *.lyx document and the R cwd are the same. Do I specify a fully
qualified path within the .lyx document?

  Nope. That's not it.

  How do I tell Sweave that the data frame, b.cast, is in the same directory
as the document?

  And, ... there is no Sweave article class; I've been using KOMA-article.

Re: Ubuntu Trusty testers needed

Just curious, why are we testing old versions of an application with 
known catastrophic bugs? Wasn't the uncorrupted save feature 
implemented in the 2.1 branch? Also, I have been using the 2.1.3 
exclusively for a long time and I admit that I am a power user. It is 
stable as anything I use and when combined with LuaTex, it produces 
beamer presentations and pdf documents that are absolutely stunning. 
This includes images. XeLatex had problems for me when importing PDF 
images but LuaTex does it far better. None of this has to do with Lyx 
though. Lyx is performing beautifully and I am using it to the fullest 
extent possible.


The ONLY thing I have a gripe about is the lack of biblatex and biber 
support. I get it, but I wish that it was there.


The testing here, I take it, is just to make sure that 2.0.8.1 works as 
expected on Ubuntu 14.04, which is still live (and widely used) and 
whose policies prohibit an upgrade to 2.1.x. Despite all the bugfixes.
