automatically updating latex code used in a LyX document
Hi I want to automatically update latex code embedded in a LyX document that was produced as output from another program, in my case STATA. The Latex code contains table commands. The concept is similar to handling graphics in LyX: Insert >> Graphic >> (attach file). If I change the graphic file content, keeping the file name and location the same, the graphic image will automatically update in LyX. I want to do the same thing, but with a .tex file in which contains the Latex code for a table produced by STATA. The .tex file name and location remain constant, but the content changes. I am sure this is an easy thing, but I just can't seem to find it on the web forums. Thanks.

Different fonts in multilingual document
I wanted to continue this topic, but somehow the thread got broken.
I want to use English and Japanese in the same document. If I specify my
desired font in the dropdown box in Documents/Settings/Fonts, Japanese
characters will not appear in the PDF.
If I try to use a Japanese font, formatting such as bolding, italics
disappear as well as the font's design isn't up to professional standards
for English. So what I want to do is to have one font that applies only to
English and another that applies only to Japanese.
In response to Gunter's suggestions, I made sure to use an updated
\usepackage{fontspec} in Settings/Languages/Language package.
"Times New Roman" is set in the Settings/Fonts/Roman dropdown box. I have
of course checked non-TeX fonts.
Referring to the fontspec documentation I didn't find any discussion of
using more than one font in a multilingual document, but I read somewhere
about the following command which I inserted into the preamble.
\newfontfamily\CJKfont{MS PMincho}
The result was as before: no Japanese characters appeared in the PDF XeTex
output. Please find minimal example attached. If anyone has any
suggestions, I'd be very grateful.

Page margins
Hi
I've been noticed some odd behaviour when the page margins are changed
from the class defaults. This has caused me some annoyance with marginal
notes.
Attached is MWE1.lyx which is a simple document using the class default
margins and with the showframe package and its output is MWE1.pdf.
MWE2.lyx is identical except that the top margin has been changed. Lyx
has inserted
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,tmargin=5cm}
in the preamble.
The output MWE2,pdf is not what I had expected as the side margins have
changed and the marginal note area is now much nearer the edge. Indeed
if say the outer margin is changed in Document Settings then the
marginal area can almost disappear altogether.
I solved this to some extent as in MWE3.lyx where I stopped Lyx
inserting the geometry pack by setting local layout, and then put
\usepackage[a4paper,includemp]{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,tmargin=5cm}
in the preamble. I.e. the same as Lyx did but with an extra option.
The output MWE3.pdf is better but still not just a change to the header
margin.
The includemp could have been includeall with a slight difference to the
output.
So, should Lyx automatically include this option in the usepackage call
or is there a much neater way to do what I want, i.e. change the header
margin without changing anything else.
Sorry for the length. Couldn't think of a shorter way to describe this.
Cheers

my mistake, it seems only collections of >=3 items are collapsed - I was
testing with 2.
\usepackage{cite} with IEEEtrans not collapsing multiple refs?
I'm using
\documentclass[american,conference]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\makeatletter
%% User specified LaTeX commands.
\usepackage{cite}
...
But citations like:
\cite{roberts,okada}
are not collapsed, but appear as
[1], [2]
This is supposed to work according to
http://ctan.mirrors.hoobly.com/macros/latex/contrib/IEEEtran/IEEEtran_HOWTO.pdf
Any ideas? (Of course, this is a lualatex issue, not really lyx issue - I
can reproduce running lualatex on the latex output from lyx)

Good idea. I agree that we should consider including it (in a separate paragraph, because the current paragraph says that you can "still compile" without those). > 2.

Ah, this is probably because German is used in the document, possibly as an example of how to include text as a separate language. LyX knows what needs to be added to the preamble and does it itself.

The package texlive-lang-german does allow the compilation. Maybe this should be included in the list of required packages in the note at the top of the document. 2.

Compiling Embedded Objects Help File
Hi
I'm trying to display the help file Embedded Objects to see what the
effects look like. However I get "Unknown option 'ngerman'" when I press
ctrl-R.
The premable to this file contains
\documentclass[12pt,ngerman,english,fleqn,bibliography=totoc,index=totoc,BCOR7.5mm,
titlepage,captions=tableheading,usenames,dvipsnames]{scrbook}
I can see where all these options come from by looking at the Document
Settings dialogue except for the ngerman. Where is this set?
I'm using Lyx 2.1.3 on Ubuntu 14.04.
Many thanks.
Cheers

If you need an environment in the LaTeX output, you need to define the lyx
layout as an environment (LatexType Environment, not LatexType Command).
See attached (fixed) layout.
