Hi,
it’s been a while since I have last used LyX (a couple of years), but for a
major
project I come back to this great app. I used it in the past, and want to say
how
grateful I am to everyone contributing to this great piece of software!
Having just finished writing an article in German on my Mac (running on the
most recent
version of macOS 12.3.1), I discovered several strange problems that concern
the quote
character (") - Shift 2 on a German keyboard:
a) While I can write it in LyX, I cannot search for it. I can put it into the
search
box, but the LyX editor will not find quote marks in the document. (I know that
under
Document" -> Settings I can choose various types of quote signs; I left it to
the
standard, which (in German) means typographic quote marks.
As for this problem, it is https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11462, right?
I have just suggested a way to resolve it at the ticket. Maybe you want
to chip in if you have further thoughts.
b) Only the opening quote marks are being exported when I export my LyX
document to
either Word (XML) or Markdown format. Yes, I know it sounds strange, but that
is how I
discovered the problem. Everything works well when exporting the document to
pdf (via
LaTeX), but not in the other export formats.
I couldn't find those two formats in the export dialog. Please remind me
where I can find them. I succeeded in exporting with "HTML (MS Word)".
There I see both quotes (beginning and end) but they are actually not
Word's typical double quotes. So that is possibly another bug.
So something seems amiss. Since I searched through the mailing list archive, I
know
that this hasn’t been mentioned here before, which puzzles me even more. Could
any of
you please confirm that you don’t have the problem - and then help me narrow
down where
the problem on my machine is?
I’d be so grateful!
Thanks and best wishes,
Andreas
Andreas, thanks for the report. At least for upcoming lyx2.4 and with advanced
find
it will be no problem. Committing the fix now.
Kornel
Just to be sure, this is a fix for (part of) a) but not b), right?

Requires works for the packages that are hardcoded in LyX. geometry is
among them.

It is read by Tools > Reconfigure. If the package in question is not
there, the user will be informed about that in the document dialog.

mhchem
What do I miss?
A more convenient way to typeset chemical formulas is to use the command
\ce that is available when the LATEX-package mhchem is installed. After
inserting \ce to a formula a new blue box appears where chemical
formulas can be inserted in an intuitive way.
I inserted \usepackage{mhchem} in the preamble!
\ceCO2
\ce CO2
\ce CO2
no blue box appears
I found >
\usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
But still no correct output

Specifying a package in Module declaration
I want to write a module that calls for the geometry package and inserts page
layout commands to my document, once it is chosen to be used.
Of course, I can do
AddToPreamble
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{..page layout commands go here..}
EndPreamble
But I prefer the \usepackage{}` command to be inserted automatically, just like
Requires packagename
does.
I read in the Customization manual that there is this optional argument for the
Module specification (section 5.3.2. The Module declaration), for example:
#\DeclareLyXModule[endnotes.sty]{Endnotes}
It doesn't add to my preamble the \usepackage{endnotes} command automatically.
If so, then what is good for?--

Re: Modifying index layout / too much vertical space above index title
Am 05.04.2022 um 08:45 schrieb johnny7:
This is a crosspost with
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/639665/lyx-index-title-does-not-align-with-section-titles
But the issue seems quite LyX-specific. When adding an index in a LyX
document, the title "Index" (or its modified name) does not vertically
align with other section titles in the output. There is more vertical
space above it. This can also be seen in the German and English LyX
manuals, compare pp. 193 and 191 or pp. 177 and 175 respectively.
Could this be related to the two-column-layout of the index? Could
|titlesec| modify the index title in LyX?
How can the index further be modified, e. g. how can I add a short
prologue between the title and the first entry?
I was also a bit confused about the index program. The User Guide says
that xindy is used by default, but in the log I only find makeidx. In
the global preferences the processor makeindex is selected.
Thanks!
Adding \usepackage{imakeidx} to the preamble patches the different
spacing of the title, it also gives the opportunity to specify
\indexprologue{Text}.
