Thank you, Joel This doesn't answer your question, but the Outliner, Labels and References, with the Sort checkbox set is an easy way to find BROKEN refs. They cluster in a block near the top. Clicking on any one, jumps straight to the ref in the document. Looking at all the different AMS environments suggests it would be too much for LyX to provide a different colour for each kind of ref, but being able to customize the label colour would be good. (I can find stdrefprefix.inc in the LyX Resources/layouts directory but nothing that sets the appearance of ref labels.)

A timely question. I've joined the development team, just not the *LyX* development team. Instead, I'm developing Stylz, a native format dedicated to fast authoring via an editor, dedicated to easily enabling the author to declare and use custom styles, and dedicated to be exportable, *with semantic completeness and correctness*, to any conceivable output format. Stylz is new and raw, but right now it does an excellent job of outputting HTML and ePub. The PDF export (via Plain TeX plus a small handful of addons) currently gives wrong results, and I need help on the PDF export. Unlike LyX' "HTML export", Stylz' style to appearance conversion happens via style files such as CSS for HTML and TeX macros for PDF. Styles are preserved to the very last moment, and Style to appearance conversion is different on each output format. So, for instance, an emphasis character style could be italic in PDF, but straight and backgrounded by light yellow in HTML or ePub. To assist the author in style definitions, Stylz includes a style lister that lists every style used in a document. It also includes a CSS boilerplate maker that makes boilerplate CSS for every style in the document. I'll probably do the same thing for boilerplate Plain TeX style-implementing macros. Like all software, Stylz fills a niche. If you know for sure your document will never need to be in a format other than PDF/paper, use LyX. As many have noted in this thread, LyX is dedicated to being a front end to LaTeX for the purpose of PDF/paper output. If you want some degree of choice in output format, including PDF and HTML, and your output needs are so simple as not to require custom styles, use asciidoc. And if you need exportability to PDF, HTML, ePub, and anything in the future for which a Stylz export has been authored, and you also need to make and use customized styles, Stylz fills your needs. Stylz works as follows: stylz2xml parses the author-friendly Stylz format and converts to XML, from where anything can be done. The XML has *all* information contained in the Stylz file, with absolutely no regard to its own viewability. xml2html converts the XML to HTML. From there, html2epub converts it to ePub. It takes less than a second for my dual core AMD with 16GB RAM to convert all the way from stylz to ePub, and as I mentioned, for the most part the produced ePub is ready for prime time. Where I need help is xml2tex, or, if you choose, perhaps a pandoc or XSLT solution if it's reasonably simple and well documented and commented. I want to avoid using LaTeX in the conversion because it would require too much "other peoples code", increasing the error surface, and making troubleshooting harder. I'm only one guy, wedging Stylz development between my other activities and responsibilities, so in most cases I did what seemed the quickest, so Stylz is a mix of Python, awk, sed, and /bin/sh. Python has some great XML parsers, which is what I really needed. I anticipate the license will be either GPL2 or Expat (https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:Expat). So anyone interested in writing the Stylz XML to PDF converter, please get in touch with me.

I suppose it would, but I would prefer to load biblatex through LyX in
the standard way if possible.

Re: Customizing biblatex beyond Citation Style - Options field
If you don't include biblatex in the UI (remove any bibliography settings
in Lyx), it shouldn't load anything. Of course, then it is on you to
include biblatex with all options and customizations you would like.
Does that work?
Thanks,
~Ben

Customizing biblatex beyond Citation Style - Options field
Dear LyX Users,
I am using biblatex in LyX 2.3. I have added several options through
the standard approach (Document Settings - Bibliography - Citation
Style - Options; for example: hyperref=true), and this works fine.
However, there are some further tweaks I would like to make that as
far as I know cannot be done this way. For example, in plain LaTex, I
would add
\AtEveryBibitem{%
\clearlist{language}
}
after \usepackage[...]{biblatex}
I attempted to implement this via Document Settings - Preamble.
However, the problem I am having is that it appears that, by default,
LyX places
\usepackage[...]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{are-495.bib}
at the very end of the latex preamble.
As a result, options I add via Document Settings - Preamble appear
before \usepackage[...]{biblatex}, leading to an error message:
Undefined control sequence
\AtEveryBibitem
{%
The control sequence at the end of the top line...
I tried including the \AtEveryBibitem{%... material in the body of the
document using ERT, but this also lead to an error:
! LaTeX Error: Can be used only in preamble.
So, is there a way I can
A) Control where LyX puts \usepackage[...]{biblatex} in the latex preamble?
B) Add material to a specific part of the latex preamble (i.e., the
end, or at least after \usepackage[...]{biblatex})?
C) Pass options to biblatex a different way?
D) Other?
Many thanks,
BL
Beamer overprint
Hi I am attempting to overprint text and equations to identify significant text and the corresponding parts of the equations successively.. I am attaching an example for which I expected the text and equations to over print. Not to have non-overlaid text and two equations. Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding what is required? Any suggestions of how to do this will be appreciated. Regards Frank Salter. beamer_test.lyx Description: application/lyx
