Not with unicode-insert. I suppose we should fix that and allow 
multiple characters, as will self-insert. If you file a bug report 
about that, I expect it can be fixed quite quickly.


But note that you can do things like:
    self-insert ຄໆໆ
where the Unicode characters are just given explicity.

Hi Riki

I suppose I'm just thick but how do you the equivalent of 
"self-insert 0x0298" in the command buffer?  All that happens in an 
inset or outside of one is that the text string "0x0298" gets 
inserted.  I didn't think it appropriate to ask about this in 
Ticket #11084 .




The self-insert LFUN enters exactly what you give it, whereas 
unicode-insert accepts codepoints. The reason to have both has to do 
with file encodings, etc.


Riki


Thanks Riki.  I understand finally.



PS If you look under Help> LyX Functions, that's where it's documented 
what all of these do. If the documentation doesn't seem clear enough, 
let us know, and we'll fix it.

importing a LaTeX template

[Полина Пруцкова]

Dear LyX experts,
I am trying to use/import a LaTeX template for the ISMIR proceedings from here: 
http://ismir2018.ircam.fr/doc/latex.zip 
 
It has .sty files but also a .tex, a .pdf and a .bib file.
Which of them do I use and how?
I’ve googled and there are some solutions a couple of years old which seem to 
work for some and not for others. What is the latest wisdom on this?
Kind regards,

It is good idea to run

Baris,

  I have a local repository and when I'm done making changes (or stopping

using the menu command to check out a previous version to get the one

Thank you. This worked perfectly.

However, there is an awkwardness in how this is shown in LyX.
Doing what Riki said shows, to the left of the citation, a small glyph
producing the horizontal fill.  The citation appears to be on the left
but prints correctly to the right.  At other times a horizontal fill
shows as a horizontal line and the text moves to the right.

RE: RCS Version Control on Two Computers

[Baris Erkus]

I found the answer by myself on the LyX wiki:

https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/VersionControlInstallationAndUsage#toc7

Version Control on the Cloud with RCS

Let’s assume this situation: you have to identical LyX installations with RCS 
on two different PCs, one at work and one at home. And you saved all your LyX 
files on your Box, dropbox or OneDrive. You want to be able to continue working 
at home after you leave your saved document at work. This can be done but not 
in a perfect way. What I mean is that you won’t be able to just have a version 
controlled document on one pc and use the same file on the other pc. What you 
have to do is check all changes on your work pc before leaving. When you go 
back home you have to check out the document and continue working. Note that 
won’t be able to keep the same history of version control on the file at work 
unless you do the check in/check out as I just described. If you save you 
document at work without checking them, then you lose all of these changes 
since you will have to check out the document at home to continue version 
control. This is an apparent bug in RCS and sadly it is the best thing 
available on Windows since LyX doesn’t yet fully support git.
(note: whoever is writting this I invite you to development mailing list. I do 
not exactly understand what your issue with RCS is, but we might be able to fix 
it. Pavel)

Hi,

I am working on a LyX document with RCS version control enabled.

I am working on the file during the day in my office on my office PC and in the 
evening on my home PC. I am using cloud to keep files.

I sometimes encounter that RCS gives an error. (I guess it is related with 
check-in check-out status, ready-only status and maybe other settings.)

What should I do to make RCS work on two PCs?

BTW, any future plans for incorporating Git commands into LyX? I can do it 
externally, but would be great if it was placed in LyX.

Thanks in advance,

Note: This is the fixed I found by myself:

When I check the “.lyx,v” file, I observe that the following header creates a 
problem. (I guess this header corresponds to checked-in status.)

head  1.8;
access;
symbols;
locks; strict;
comment@# @;

I check the header of fine-working RCS file and found that it is in the 
following format. (I guess this header corresponds to checked-out status.)

head  1.8;
access;
symbols;
locks
bariserkus:1.8; strict;
comment@# @;

If I replace the “locks; strict;”  portion with “locksbariserkus:1.8; 
strict;”, it works just fine.

Note that “1.8” is the version number and “bariserkus” is the author name.

RCS Version Control on Two Computers

[Baris Erkus]

Hi,

I am working on a LyX document with RCS version control enabled.

I am working on the file during the day in my office on my office PC and in the 
evening on my home PC. I am using cloud to keep files.

I sometimes encounter that RCS gives an error. (I guess it is related with 
check-in check-out status, ready-only status and maybe other settings.)
