Lou

That is the easiest and powerful way handling bibtex and biblatex 
citations to my experience. There are other tools of course, such as you 
editing the text files by yourself.


LyX uses .bib files, and does not need JabRef. JabRef is just handling 
the text-based bib files. Maybe you are confused?

Re: Forest beyond basics

[Baris Erkus via lyx-users]

On 19-Dec-21 8:20 PM, Maria Gouskova via lyx-users wrote:

Dear LyX users,

(Actually, I suspect this is a question for Jürgen S., but on the off 
chance that someone else knows the answer...)


I need to produce a diagram with the structure shown here. It was 
produced using the obsolete xyling package (see the attached 
xyling_test files):

tree_i_want.png
All the nodes will have a lot of linguist-specific bells and whistles, 
like IPA fonts and small caps and other stuff. XYling has not been 
updated in 15 years; I barely got the doc to compile. So, xyling is no 
good for what I need.


In the process of trying to work out how to make that tree happen in 
forest, the package that LyX's linguistics module directly supports, I 
concluded that I will need to use the "draw" functionality. But I 
can't work out how to make the \draw commands work inside the tree 
insets. I tried to follow an example from the forest manual (number 
(21) on p. 9 of this, 
http://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/forest/forest-doc.pdf, 
and realized that there is no obvious way to pass options in the 
\begin{forest}  ... \end{forest} space beyond those that pertain to 
nodes (i.e., appear inside the [ ] brackets). The options just get 
ignored, or else prevent the PDF from being compiled.


Things I've tried:

1) Declaring forest overtly in the preamble and passing the whole 
\begin{forest} ...\end{forest} block as ERT. That throws errors.


2) Using the native LyX forest support, and passing options as ERT 
inside the Tree inset. I noticed in the code preview pane that the 
\draw backslash is replaced with \textbackslash. I tried replacing the 
$s$ stuff with ERT, too. The code pane preview looks correct, but the 
file does not compile, throwing a bunch of errors along the lines of 
"Package pgfkeys Error:", etc. (I assume people can reproduce these...)


Oh, also, I tried the example from the manual in TeXMaker to verify it 
wasn't some oddity of my TeX installation, and it compiled okay 
(except for the "background tree" option). It looked a lot more like 
what's in the manual than anything LyX produced (attached).


So, yeah, I have a workaround in case it can't work--I could produce 
the doc in LyX, then export to TeX and finish the lattice thing there. 
I was just hoping there was an easier way.

Hello,

I think you should do this in TikZ. You would not regret.

Attached is a simple setup for you get started. Compile the LaTeX file 
Fig01.tex and get the PDF of your figure first. Then, you can insert the 
PDF into your LyX file. If you want to change your figure, just compile 
the file again and LyX will do the job automatically for you.


My recommendation is: do not insert your code for figures (whether TikZ 
or not) into LyX as ERT box. Compile them separately and generate the 
figure PDF first. Then, insert the figure PDF into LyX. This will help 
you find errors and change the figures more easily without compiling 
whole LyX file. Also, it would be easier for LyX to compile the document.

Dear Andreas,

I am not an expert of makeindex,  but according to this 
 
post, it is a luck that makeindex works for German. Couple of 
suggestions here:


-g option is entered at Tools-> Preferences -> Output -> Latex -> Index 
Generation -> Options


At preamble use ( I am not sure if this is done automatically by LyX):

\usepackage{imakeidx}

\makeindex


Note that because I have Windows, I do not have the Linux font; 
therefore I selected the default fonts and unchecked the  "Use non-Tex 
fonts" option.



For indices use the commands given here 
. For examples use \"a 
instead of  ä. To enter \"a, you need to open a TeX code inset (done by 
ctrl-L in Windows)



And finally, read the manual of makeindex, where how you can sort things 
manually is explained (page 4). See attached.



Some of the above suggestions worked for me. See attached image.


Since this package is quite old, it requires some research to make it work.


Good Luck!


Baris

Normally, you can insert any LaTeX code (including picture environment) 
using Ctrl-L  or Insert -> TeX Code. This is called "ERT" in LyX AFAIK.


Since you want to write your code for graphics, I would recommend 
Tikz/pgf for general sketches, instead of the old-school picture 
environment. Of course, Some other WYSIWYG tools maybe more faster to 
generate some specific graphics (e.g. the type of diagrams you want in 
your document) without LaTeX coding, but I find Tikz quite powerful to 
invest in.


CTAN says "PGF is a macro package for creating graphics. It is platform- 
and format-independent and works together with the most important TEX 
backend drivers, including pdfTEX and dvips. It comes with a 
user-friendly syntax layer called TikZ"


So, inclusion of LaTeX  math is straightforward in Tikz, while other 
tools may need some tricks to get full benefits of LaTeX. Tikz has some 
many packages, maybe one of them is good for your diagrams. Please look 
at the Pgf/Tikz manual.


One recommendation here tough: Do not write your graphics code in LyX. 
Generate it outside with regular LaTeX, and save your image as PDF. 
Then, include the PDF into the LyX as figure. The issue with including 
the graphics code in LyX is that, compilation times will get longer, and 
it would be difficult to find the errors in your code as you have more 
graphics and you have more text. Moreover, you will find out that the 
ERT coding environment is not very user friendly as your figure gets 
complicated, as it was not intended to develop code in there. I have 
done this before, and I have found myself testing the code with LaTeX 
outside LyX to find the errors. Therefore, LaTeX editors are better for 
this purpose (e.g. TeXmaker, TeXstudio, even Notepad++).


If you want to give a try, I have attached two files: one for the 
figure  and the other one is for the settings. Compile sample.tex with 
latex and you have your figure as PDF, ready to insert into LyX.

When I tried to open my LyX 2.3.5.2 file with 2.4.0a1 64 bits, it

gives this error, so I have to kill the program. I attached a MWE
that I
created in LyX 2.3.5.2, with empty contents but with Theorems (AMS,
numbered by type) module added. So it gives the error once and the
file

I have windows 10, 64 bit, and the very latest version of MikTeX
installed.

Also, how to we active the dark mode in Windows :) ? Anybody knows?


Dark mode is not available for LyX on Windows, Qt does not support it 
there. I have searched on the web on how to deal with it and found 
some workaround here and there but nothing official and it did seem 
like a lot of work. Maybe one day some LyX dev will feel like doing 
it, but for now consider it not existent. You can make one thing dark 
though, the work area, but menus, toolbars and messages pane and other 
stuff you can show on the bottom can not be made dark.

Thanks, Baris. We have someone doing Spanish. You want to choose a

I can do whichever language is available. Where can I get the English 
manual for 2.4.x? Is it the one that comes with the install? Does it 
have tracking marks(I did not install it on this PC, so I cannot check 
it right now)? Please let me know how to proceed.

That's a good idea, Baris, and I already sent the MWE files to you. In
case anyone else wants to take a crack at it, I'm attaching four MWE
files:

mwe.beamer is the MWE source

mwe.pdf is my attempt at A4. It's upside down, and the print is way
smaller than it's supposed to be.

kk is the shellscript that compiles mwe.beamer into mwe.pdf.

All 3 files go in a single directory, and assuming you have the same
texlive packages I have, it should compile to the same result mine did.

What I want is a PDF, printable on A4, that has the right sized print
and is right side up instead of upside down.

Thanks,

AFAIK, Beamer class does not provide slides with A4 or Letter 
dimensions. The default size of slides are smaller than Letter sized 
papers, but when you open them for presentation using a PDF viewer, the 
PDF viewer shows the slides using the whole screen/projector area so you 
do not see any issue with the size. When you print them, the printer 
enlarges it to fit to the page margin, so probably you will not have an 
issue with that either. So the problem is not whether you use 
Letter-sized or A4-sized paper. It is simply Beamer does not provide 
slides with those dimensions. This is what I know, but forums such as 
Stack Exchange will have more correct information on this.


What I do generally is I leave the PDF file as it is, and it is 
generally good enough to see on the screen as PDF viewers will enlarge 
it as necessary. When printing, you can tell the PDF viewer to fit to 
the margins of an A4 or A3 or Letter size paper.


Alternatively, you can print the slides to A4 size with a PDF tool such 
as PDF X-change.


This is not a LyX- problem so, I am not sure if the audience of this 
list has expertise on this matter.

You can tell LyX to record the words that will be recognized as
correct by "Add to personal dictionary" . These are saved as text
files in the personal folder with a name e.g. pwl_english.dict.

If you want to use a new dictionary with .dic and .aff files,

Does "But how do I find this one?"  mean, you want to find the the 
".dict" text file that includes the added words and its location?


Under windows,  the file is located in the user directory, which is 
usually located at:


C:\Users\-username\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3\

Under Linux, I believe it is also in the folder where all the user and 
LyX settings are kept. But  Maybe others can help?


Maybe you can do a quick "where" under Linux to find the file?

Hope I got your question correctly.

First, I would recommend you sending a MWE for each of the
problem you
have listed. Users of the list can try these MWEs on their
computers and
tell you if there is a problem with the LyX file or LyX.

Second, missing "pdflatex" option under LyX may be a sign of
faulty
MikTeX system and trailing faulty LyX configuration. I am
guessing you
are using Windows. You should install the latest updates of
MikTeX and
update everything for both user and admin mode.

I would also recommend testing your MikTeX setup with a MWE of
LaTeX file.

You can also re-configure your LyX and see possible errors.

Thanks so much for your reply!

The suggestion to do MWEs is really great. I’ve never done this
before, but it makes a lot of sense. I’m attaching two .lyx MWEs
and a related .. For each MWE, I also attach two PDF files: PDF
files with the suffix |-1| correspond to the error produced on the
first computer, and PDF files with the suffix |-0| correspond to
the correct output produced on the other computers.

  * |mwe1.lyx| is what happens when I switch from BibTeX to
biblatex in the Settings > Bibliography page.
  * |mwe2.lyx| is what happens when I further specify the apa
bibliography style within biblatex in the Settings >
Bibliography page.

In a way, the fact that I do not have pdflatex as an option in the
first computer under Preferences > File Handling > File Formats >
Default Output Formats, while I have that specified in the other
computers, is a clue that does not even depend on the .lyx document.

FYI, all computers are Macs, and they all are using macOS Catalina
(10.15.7).

Apologies for stating MiKTeX on my last post, as that was
misleading. In fact, I’ve been using MacTeX. I updated MacTeX,
reconfigured LyX, and confirmed that the path in Tools > TeX
Information points to |/usr/local/texlive/2020/|. Weirdly, the
update actually caused more errors, as I mentioned above. Is there
a way to figure out which packages are causing the problem?

Thanks again,
Dave

Hi all,

I have an update on this, which has clarified the root of the problem 
but in some ways is still mysterious.


I’ve discovered that that |pdflatex| indeed does exist on the 
previously problematic computer under |Document > View (Other 
Formats)|. If I compile the files using |pdflatex| from this dropdown 
menu, everything turns out fine for the MWEs. It turns out that LuaTeX 
is problematic on all of my computers, regardless of the MacTeX 
version that I’m using. In other words, I need to use |pdflatex| 
rather than LuaTeX to handle |biblatex| properly.


The weird thing is that |pdflatex| can be set as the default output 
format in |Preferences > File Handling > File Formats| in all of my 
computers

necessarily recommend that anyone use it for daily work, although some
of us do. (Be aware that you may have to deal with some bugs and that
files edited with 2.4.x cannot be opened in 2.3.x without being exported
to that format.)

Both source code and binaries for Windows and OSX can be found here:

Binaries for various Linux distros may or may not be available from
their associated repositories. (But, if you are on Linux, you should not

Would it be possible to set it up seperately, while keeping the current 
stable LyX 2.3.5.2. Particularly Windows.


I know I have several installations of LyX on my PC and I did not have 
any issue using them all. Will this be the case for the test release?

Re: LyX acting differently between computers

[Baris Erkus]

On 28-Oct-20 12:01 AM, David Chan wrote:

Hi all,

I noticed that LyX was acting differently between computers and am 
trying to figure out the source of this issue.


One computer cannot compile a file that uses biblatex with the apa 
bibliography style, while the other two computers can. Also, the first 
computer compiles lines slightly differently so that a paper compiles 
to 110 pages, while on the other two computers, the paper compiles to 
109 pages.


The first computer initially had an older version of LyX, 2.3.0 
(February 24, 2018), but when I updated it to the newest version, LyX 
2.3.5.2 (June 25, 2020), the problem persists. I also found the 
version that matches the other computers in the archive, LyX 2.3.1-1, 
and the problem persists with this as well.


When I checked the preferences on LyX on each of the computers, the 
first one differs by not having `pdflatex` as an option under 
Preferences > File Handling > File Formats > Default Output Formats, 
whereas this option exists on the other computers. I am unable to find 
the `pdflatex` option on the first computer regardless of the version 
of LyX.


The next thing that I did was to reinstall MikTeX on the first 
computer. This did not seem to resolve the problem, although it seems 
to have caused errors in compilation ("undefined control sequence", 
"Missing number, treated as zero", and "Missing glyphs!").


Can someone please help me troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

First, I would recommend you sending a MWE for each of the problem you 
have listed. Users of the list can try these MWEs on their computers and 
tell you if there is a problem with the LyX file or LyX.


Second, missing "pdflatex" option under LyX may be a sign of faulty 
MikTeX system and trailing faulty LyX configuration. I am guessing you 
are using Windows. You should install the latest updates of MikTeX and 
update everything for both user and admin mode.


I would also recommend testing your MikTeX setup with a MWE of LaTeX file.

You can also re-configure your LyX and see possible errors.

I have compiled the tex file with LaTeX directly  and no issues at all. 
So probably this is something related to LyX. Do you have similar messages?

 1. I made the entire text in the collor box long enough, so there

This is straightforward.

Create a local folder:

c:\localtexmf\tex\latex   (it can be any other drive e.g d:\, depending 
on your computer)


Place your class file into this folder.

Or you can create another folder under the "latex" folder and place your 
files in there if you have many files, e.g:


d:\localtexmf\tex\latex\asme

Then, go to settings of MikTeX - Directories. Add the "d:\localtexmf" 
folder to the MikTeX path list.


Then go to Tasks and Refresh file name DB, Refresh font map files and, 
Update package database.


If you are using LyX, go to Tools - Reconfigure. Restart LyX and see 
your class file is installed.


Before using LyX, I highly recommend to test MikTeX using a regular 
LaTeX editor


Good luck!

You can download LyX 2.3.5.2 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

The original announcement follows.

=

We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.3.5. This is the fifth
maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. We encourage all users to
upgrade to this version.

LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
released under a Free and Open Source Software license.

LyX 2.3.5 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more
reliable and more stable. Most of the changes are incremental, but quite a
few important bugs have now been fixed.

One important change is that Inkscape 1.0 is now supported: It will be
detected
and configured automatically. Users of previous versions have recently
reported
configuration failures when Inkscape 1.0 is installed, leading to an
incomplete
(and all but unusable) installation of LyX. This should also be fixed.

If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.5, please open a bug report at
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
 lists.lyx.org) and ask.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation
that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which
is at http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the
LyX users' list (lyx-users  lists.lyx.org), where you will find an
active community of people who are ready to help.

We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.3.5.

biblatex is not part of LyX; it is part of the LaTeX system you are 
using. LyX only provides the user interface/tools to activate and call 
biblatex. So you have to make sure your LaTeX system has the biblatex.


URL part can be suppressed with some biblatex option that can be stated 
in LyX. AFAIK, for URLs you should use 'url=false'

Issue with dv2dt.exe and msvcr100.dll

[Baris Erkus]

I have been encountering the attached error when LyX starts for some of 
the fresh installs of 64 bit of Windows 10, Enterprise Ed..

This error occurs if instant preview is on, where, I believe, dv2dt.exe 
is rendering the math equations and such.

I found the problem happens to be related to the msvcr100.dll file. For 
some installs of the Windows, this file is an older version that goes 
back to 2002. Some fresh installs of Windows 10 have the useful version 
though. Maybe some of the programs overwrites an older version of this 
file, I wouldn't know.

There are various versions of 64 bit msvcr100.dll on the net. I do not 
know which versions work, but the one that I found working is version 
10.9.40219.325 dated 11-Jun-11 2:58AM.  I overwrite the file under the 
C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder with the working version.

(FI: I have almost all versions of MS VC++ Redistributable installed, 
which apparently does not install a recent version of this dll.)

One can also try to use the msvcr100.dll file that comes with the 
dvitools at http://w32tex.org/

I think I got mine from an older version of dvitools; I did not try the 
newer versions.

I do not think this is a bug, but maybe something to look at by 
developers...

It should be greyed out if you have not modified it and if you have the

AFAIK, if you set the width of the column, it will do wrap as you write. 
You can use CTRL+Enter for new line.

Does this problem occur when you open the file and when LyX tries to show the 
PDF or when you compile the file (e.g with pdflatex)? I am trying to understand 
if this is a LyX issue or latex issue.

There were questions about PDF is not converted correctly for LyX preview in 
the list, which is related to PDF to PNG conversion, and I had the following 
recommendation for such problems. I do not know if this is your problem but 
worth to remind this:

Default LyX will show the PDFs with lower quality on the screen, when scaled. 
To solve this problem you need to tell to increase the resolution of the 
preview image as follows:

  *   Make sure the convert utility of ImageMagick is installed and the utility 
"convert" is made available to path.
  *   Start LyX and do not open a file.
  *   Go to "Preferences" under the "Tools" menu.
  *   Go to "Converters" under the "File Handling" section.
  *   Select "PDF(graphics)" from "From Format:" and "PNG" from "To Format:"
  *   To "Converter:" write : convert -density *** -trim -quality 100 -sharpen 
0x1.0 $$i $$o, where *** can be 200 to start with. You may try other values 
based on the results.
  *   Click "Add" button.
  *   Click "Apply" button.
  *   Click "Save" button.
  *   Select "Reconfigure" under "Tools" menu.
  *   Restart LyX.

I get

This is the final setting of PDF (graphics) -> PNG converter on my LyX (I may 
be wrong with the save button):

Some suggestions:

  *   I guess the convert utility works fine on your computer but maybe a 
double check by running it on the command line.
  *   Clear the PNG cache folder. On Windows, this folder is under the users 
folder.

That explains it. As you have sad, probably something happened to MikTex

I ahve solved the LyX-iftex problem. I updated package database and 
refresh file names from within MikTeX and now LyX is working fine.

Anyhow maybe it is just related to my case, but good to have some heads-up.

Some issues with the latest update of MikTeX

[Baris Erkus]

I would like to report that there are some issues with the latest MikTeX 
update that was published just couple of days ago.

I became aware of the issue when I wanted to compile a two page document 
that was compiling just fine before updating my MikTeX installation.

LyX reported that iftex.sty was missing. I checked MikTeX and indeed 
iftex package was somehow not loaded in the package list, which is 
awkward since I have installed "all" MikTeX packages and everything is 
expected to be there. It does not make sense MikTeX remove some standard 
packages during a MikTeX update.

Anyhow I installed the missing package (iftex) using MikTeX package 
manager. There were also other packages that appeared not to be 
installed; I also installed all of them to have the complete package in 
the MikTeX system.

I re-run the LyX file, and LyX gave same error. Then, I found out that 
the iftex folder is actually empty although it appears as installed in 
the MikTeX package list.

I manually downloaded the package from CTAN and copied to the proper 
latex/iftex folder. I reconfigured LyX and the error is gone. However, 
this time, if I wanted to reun the sample LyX file, LyX still tries to 
start MikTeX and tries to search for iftex package and gives error. 
Maybe I should clear the cache or temp folder or smtg.

As a conclusion, there appears to be some issues with the latest update 
of MikTeX, at least for my case. This is also effecting LyX. LyX is 
getting confused with the reconfigure and cannot configure it properly. 
Please do not install the latest MikTeX update till you make sure it is 
safe to do so.

How  does it appear on the generated PDF file?

LyX has its own formatting of references, which is most of the time NOT 
same as the bibtex format you are using.

This question is not clear. MikTeX and LyX are two seperate packages. 
The latest version of LyX is compatible with the latest version of 
MikTeX as I have tried it just yesterday on a fresh PC.

If you are asking if two LyX versions should be same or not, I think, if 
you are using versions of 2.3.x, it should not be a problem, as I have 
tried this with some of my students and we did not have an issue.

In my opinion, even if one of the LyX has version of LyX 2.2.x, and the 
other is 2.3.x, it should not be a problem as long as both LyX programs 
are setup and running properly. However, there maybe certain features in 
versions 2.3.x that may not be available in 2.2.x, which may create some 
warnings when opening in v 2.2.x. Maybe you should ask this as a 
separate question to the list, if you are using an older version o LyX.

On Windows with MikTeX, reconfiguring can take about 10 minutes 
especially if LyX asks MikTeX to install some packages.

LyX Message Pane shows the configuration status, however it is not 
turned on automatically. Maybe you can request from the developers a 
feature that shows the messages pane during the configuration.

Progress-bar may not be meaningful here as different TeX systems and 
different package status may result very different type of configuration 
times, which may not be possible to estimate.

Hello,

This is a comment that I have interest in. I was wondering something 
special to bibliography. Is there a tool that can dynamically generate 
the bibliography from a given biblatex .bib database? I know now that I 
can generate my LyX file and convert to HTML, which will have the 
bibliography in it, but it would be only static text.

I know this is out of the scope of LyX. Hope the members do not mind for 
this small fling.

Hello Marius,

As you may be aware of that LyX serves as a front-end for the LaTeX 
system. When you select a paper size in LyX, LyX -probably- simply adds 
that paper size as an option to the document class in the generated tex 
file.

On the other hand, LaTeX is a sophisticated typesetting system, where 
many packages and classes are used. Sometimes, some of these packages 
and classes have conflicts and associated rules. When you try to use 
some specific packages for a given class, you may not be allowed to 
change some settings.

As far as I observe, LyX developers are trying to identify these 
conflicts and implement LyX-based solutions for some of them. However, 
it is not always possible to follow every single one of these 
conflicts/rules since there are so many of these packages and classes. 
Further, LaTeX packages are being updated constantly and may result a 
conflict after an update, which makes it very difficult to track them.

To put this in another way, if you are not using LyX, but using 
conventional text-based LaTeX typesetting, you will probably encounter 
these issues as well. If this issue is a well-known issue, LyX 
developers might have provided a solution in LyX. However, it is not 
always possible for LyX to have a solution. In this case, you are 
supposed to identify the issue and provide a solution by yourself, which 
we LyX-used do all the time.

Best Regards,

Baris

Re: PDF and EPS vector images preview's quality is extremely bad within LyX

Hi!

When I insert any graphical PDF files in the document, LyX preview (the 
program's editing window) shows them rasterized and in an extremely bad 
resolution. In the 'pdflatex' PDF output everything is ok, the quality is as in 
the original images.

I discovered that when I insert PDFs LyX converts them to .eps with 'pdftops'. 
I checked outside LyX and it works without any problems or decrease in quality. 
When I insert those independently converted .eps files (good-quality ones) into 
a LyX document I get the same results as with original PDFs - rasterized and 
bad resolution.

I found some advice to set up EPS->PNG conversion with 'convert' utility from 
ImageMagick because presumably LyX uses it to preview EPS images. After I 
solved 'convert-im6.q16: not authorized' problem (which somehow didn't affect 
LyX, only the command line) I indeed found out that the default conversion line 
convert in.pdf out.png gives a very low resolution PNG file. So I tried convert 
-density 300 in.pdf out.png fron the command line and it produces good quality 
images. Then I inserted convert -density 300 $$i $$o into the LyX EPS->PNG 
conversion line. And that changed absolutely nothing in the LyX preview output, 
same low quality. Now I don't know what to do. It seems this converter doesn't 
actually work in the program's window.

Could somebody help?

LyX 2.3.2, Ubuntu 18.04.2, XFCE 4.12

Try:


convert -density 200 -trim -quality 100 -sharpen 0x1.0 $$i $$o


you can try different numbers for 200

Hello,

You are either making a small mistake or it does not work due to some bug in 
RCS.  Git is totally independent from RCS and is a seperate VCS. If you are 
using Git, you do not need to use RCS.

In fact, Git is more powerful and bug-free than RCS, so I would highly 
recommend to use Git along with a GUI such as Sourcetree instead of RCS (you 
can use built-in Git toolbar but that does not track files -e.g. figures- other 
than the LyX file). AFAIK, RCS is not actively maintained/developed anymore, it 
is outdated and has some bugs. I have spent too much time on RCS, and it did 
not prove to be useful for my case at all. So in my opinion: dump RCS and 
invest into Git.

I did not use eps with pdflatex. Apparently, LyX converts EPS to PDF 
using epstopdf tool and EPS to PNG using magick (imagemagick) tool when 
using pdflatex, without user intervention. Maybe you can look at those 
tools on your pc and see if they are working fine.

Hi Jose,

A good starting point for this is: https://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/CreatingLayouts

Referring this page: If you are a beginner, a simple layout file in the form of

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[acmsiggraph]{ACM SigGraph}

# Read the definitions from article.layout
Input article.layout

will suffice. You will be putting many information into preamble and in the 
main file using ERT. You will do several try-and-errors to make it work, but if 
you are careful, this should be at most one days of work for beginners (this is 
my experience). Please note that class-specific styles, environments and 
commands will not be immediately available under LyX menus and options. 
However, they will work in the preamble and in the main file by ERT.

Also, Section 5.3 of the Customization document under LyX help has both on 
introductory and advanced information on layouts. If you have time, placing the 
class-specific styles, environments and other commands into the LyX menus 
should not be that difficult. Look at some layout files that come with LyX and 
try-and-error with Section 5.3.7 and other sections of the Customization file.

Good Luck.

Well, what I meant was exactly this solution.  You can place these 
options in the preamble to be valid for whole document, or you can place 
it in the Enumerate Options of LyX to be valid only for that particular 
list. I use both. LyX does not have a tool that set these for you.

Hello,

The new approach in software engineering is conduct agile DevOps cycles, 
which results frequent releases of the software. This may be problematic 
for programs like LyX, which depends on many other open-source sofware 
(e.g. Python, MikTeX, ImageMagic, etc.. ). One solution to this problem 
may be implementing agile DevOps cycles for LyX itself. There are tools 
like Jenkins that can be used for automated testing and release. Maybe, 
LyX team can invest to such technologies to be able to be synced with 
the surrounding software.

LyX will only have minimal functionality because no textclasses have been

AFAIK:{You need to use ERT in the "Enumarate Opitons" of LyX, and tell 
LaTeX to restart or resume numbering by yourself. Otherwise LyX does not 
have a direct option to do that.}

I have a dissertation template for students at my University. There is a main 
thesis document and then the separate chapters are in subdirectories. 
(http://crmda.ku.edu/node/555)

Currently, in version, 
"KU-thesis-20190201.zip",
 it appears to work for everybody to use LyX to edit either the main document 
or the individual chapters.

However, I have students who want to use the dissertation template as raw 
LaTexX files, rather than within LyX.  Here I run into a bad problem.

In my 20190201 version, the people who want to edit the exported LaTeX file in 
raw LaTeX could not compile the document.  There's an error about commands in 
the chapter heading that are only allowed in the document preamble.  From that 
error message, I tracked back to changes I made and I understand what is going 
wrong.

If I start with the master document and do Export to LaTeX (pdflatex), the 
individual chapter .tex files are created.  They are not free-standing 
documents. At the top, there was no preamble. It starts in line 1 with the 
chapter name

\chapter{Elementary Regression}

and also the includegraphics lines have full project paths:

\includegraphics[width=4in]{Chapter2/importfigs/carinced}

Those chapters could not be compiled individually.

I thought I'd get around this problem by using LyX to individually exporting 
each separate chapter as a tex document. I did not realize that caused an 
entirely different export than I got by starting with the master document in 
LyX and doing export LaTeX(pdflatex).

My individually exported chapter files allows the users to edit the individual 
.tex chapters, but when they try to compile the master document, they get 
errors caused by the fact that the individual chapters have their own preambles 
AND the graphics paths are incorrect.

Because I individually exported the .tex files within the Chapter directories, 
then the master document level Export to LaTeX does not replace the existing 
chapters.  Thus I am allowed to zip up the directory and have a master document 
that does not compile because the child documents have preambles in them.

Now that I understand the problem, I wonder if other people have noticed this 
and if they have suggestions for a fix?

I wondered if perhaps we might have the necessary preamble created as a 
separate file in each chapter with some if/then magic in each chapter preamble 
to specify whether or not the master file is in control.

Some fix about the figure paths is necessary as well, I don't have a guess 
about that.

Hello,

I have recently developed a LyX template of our university graduate thesis from 
the LaTeX template (https://github.com/ituast/itutezLyX). I have checked the 
zip file you gave the link, and I can tell that the structure of the LyX files 
is very similar to what I did. I have encountered similar problems. We can find 
(or develop) solutions or procedures for these problems.

Including a LyX file within a master LyX file is different than including a 
LaTeX file within a master LaTeX file. Because in LyX, you can specify which 
preamble is to be used through the document settings. For LaTeX, there is no 
such thing, as it is a lower-level process of management/compilation, where the 
user has to handle everything.

As you have mentioned, when you export a LyX file to a LaTeX file, LyX always 
puts a preamble, which is smtg that you you may not want if the resulting LaTeX 
file is to be included in a master LaTeX file. The exporter may have an option 
to ignore the preamble. If you want to implement it, you may need to go the 
executable of the exporter and search through the command-line help using a 
help flag (--help, --? or smtg like that). On the other hand, you may still 
want to have a working preamble to be able to compile the individual LaTeX file 
to see the result immediately, before inserting it back to the LyX file. The 
problem with that is thesis class file may have a complicated structure, where 
you should have all major parts together, otherwise, an individual child file 
will not compile. So, in this case, it may be a good idea to compile it as a 
complete thesis, but to include the interested chapter only, which will make 
the compilation faster.

So the problem to me is very specific and isolated. In my case, what I did, I 
developed a unique procedure and tested it for each of this type of student 
request. Then asked the students to follow that unique procedure. In your case, 
we need to define clearly what exactly the students want to do. According to 
you mail, what I understood is this: The students want to be able to work on 
the child LyX files, by modifying the LaTeX

C:\Users\**username**\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3\

personal dictionaries are named as: pwl_**lang_name**.dict

You need to add a word to your dictionary for this file to appear. Otwerwise, 
it is not there by default.

This is the personal directory for windows, therefore it has other setting 
files as well.

LyX About window under Help shows the location of this folder:

Change the Location of Personal *Dictionaries*

[Baris Erkus]

Hello,

I thought that I have sent this message, but it does seem it went through.

Is there way to change the location of personal dictionary files (e.g. 
pwl_english.dict)? The default location for windows is:

C:\Users\**username**\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3\

I am guessing that there is a setting file, a text file, that configures this 
location, as many settings of LyX are specified some setting file.

Baris

Note:

I found this post: https://latex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26963

But still, LyX determines the location of personal dictionaries, as shown 
above, not Hunspell, isn't it?

LabelString and Language Question

[Baris Erkus]

Hello,

Is there a way to tell LyX not to translate the LabelString (in layout 
item) to the language of the file if it is a LyX keyword?

I would like to define a LabelString as "ABSTRACT:", but appearantly it 
is a LyX keyword and it converts it to ÖZET:, the Turkish of word 
-abstract-, when the file's language is Turkish.

Of Course if I set LabelString to "ABSTRACT: " (with the space added at 
the end), it leaves does not do the conversion. This solves my problem, 
but I still would like to know...

Any clue?

One way I found very useful, which does not do exactly what you want, is to use 
backspace to erase the LaTeX code entered. You need to move the cursor current 
position tough. Then, you can re-enter the new code.

Thanks Jürgen. This one I understand. However, this requirement does not call

placed right after other packages loaded after \documentclass. The examples on 
BibLaTeX, I sqw SE or other web pages loads BibLaTeX in the block after 
\documentclass, but late.

The loading order of packages is tricky. Some packages need to be loaded after 
the user preamble, and babel needs to be loaded after that, and biblatex after 
babel. Just because this works in your case in the different order does not 
mean it works generally.
Exactly. However, I am not sure if they have to be placed right before the 
\begin{document}.

The only way around that would be a second user preamble:
https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/5366
+1

It does compiling, but the replacement did not work.

I think, the \AtBeginDocument{...}  macro places the contents right after the 
\begin{document}, but not in the preamble.

No, it is part of the preamble:
http://joshua.smcvt.edu/latex2e/_005cAtBeginDocument.html

I couldn't confirm this. See for example this SE 
answer<https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/177397/why-does-it-matter-when-atbegindocument-is-run>.
 Anyhow, this may be an issue related to the macro as you have said.

[cid:part5.9F8AAA3C.23830C58@hotmail.com]


Try instead:

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\AtEndPreamble{%
...
}
This worked! This is what I need.
Adding a new localization is quite straightforward and not too much work. If 
you feel like contributing that, it would be a good way to "give back" to the 
community:
https://github.com/plk/biblatex/wiki/Checklist-for-submitting-a-new-localisation-file-(.lbx)

Actually, I have spent couple of hours working on a Turkish lbx file yesterday. 
Indeed, it does not look complicated. Still it requires attention from people 
with expertise in Turkish publishing rules.

I will start a GitHub project on this, and see if I can get help ldx. I will 
fix the parts that I need in the mean time.

Thanks for the help!

The macro works fine if I place it to the required location manually (I 
have sent the LaTeX file in the first e-mail for the record).
The loading sequence of the packages should be like the following 
according the BibLaTeX, which works as expected:

\documentclass[english]{article}
**Misc Packages**
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[style=authoryear, maxcitenames=2]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{test.bib}

 Macro 
\DefineBibliographyStrings{english}{%
   references = {{Kaynaklar}},
   and = {ve},
   andothers ={ve diğerleri},
}
 End Macro 

\begin{document}
**Misc**
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Unfortunately, LyX does not do this format as you have mentioned and 
wrapping with macro to place at the beginning of the document does not work.

Yes, because biblatex must be loaded after babel (or polyglossia), and this, in 
turn, must be loaded late.

You need to embrace such definitions in \AtBeginDocument{...}. See
https://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex#toc2

HTH,

I think, the \AtBeginDocument{...}  macro places the contents right after the 
\begin{document}, but not in the preamble. However, the 
\DefineBibliographyStrings{...} and similar BibLaTeX commands are placed in the 
preamble according to Section 3.9 of BibLaTeX manual. Maybe this is the reason 
it does not do the replacement (?).

I have also tried to compile a LaTeX file where I place this block to the 
beginning of the document right after \begin{document} and it gives error that 
this has to be placed in the preamble (no LyX involved).

I further tested the case on LaTeX again, where the above block wrapped with 
\AtBeginDocument{...} in the preamble, but before loading biblatex; it 
compiles, but it does not do the replacement (no LyX involved).

So, is there a workaround for this in LyX, am I missing smtg?

(TBH, this was not my original problem. I was trying to use BibLaTeX for a 
Turkish document, only to find out BibLaTeX does not have Turkish support yet 
:< )

biblatex usepackage location in the preamble

[Baris Erkus]

Hello,

I observed that if biblatex is selected for the bibliography style, the 
\usepackage[*options*]{biblatex} is placed right before the \begin{document}, 
but not after the \documentclass, where usually packages are called.

If I want to place some code in the preamble that requires the biblatex 
package, then these codes appear before the \usepackage[*options*]{biblatex} 
line, and they do not work.

For example I wanted to replace "et al.", "and", "Bibliography (title)" with 
their Turkish counterparts by simply placing the following code to the preamble:

\DefineBibliographyStrings{english}{%
  references = {{Kaynaklar}},
  and = {ve},
  andothers ={ve diğerleri},
}

but it does not work.

I exported the LyX file into a (PDF)LaTeX file and moved the 
\usepackage[*options*]{biblatex} line after the \documentclass and before the 
new definitions, which works fine.

Is this how it's intended to be or, \usepackage[*options*]{biblatex} line 
should be placed along with the other package definitions right after the 
\documentclass ? I can make the similar observation for the babel package, BTW.

Attached is a MWE and its LaTeX preview, its export to LaTeX file, and the 
corrected LaTeX file along with the sample bib file.

Do you mean paragraphs type as shown at the upper left corner? Because,

Dear list members,

While updating a PC under Debian, Lyx went from version 2.1.2 to 2.2.2
(and even 2.3.1 from Backports).

I'm having an issue with some documents which need to be compiled
under Luatex.

They use landscape, A4, 2-column page setup and the issue is: whenever
I try to specify custom margins, my preview reverts to portrait, US
letter format.  I checked that in the previewer, under document
properties.  This happens regardless of the document contents.

TIA for any insight about that - best regards,



I'd rather not clutter the list with unnecessary files: my "minimal
example" would be an empty file!

Here are the steps to reproduce:
[LyX 2.2.2 or 2.3.1 - TeXlive 2016]
- (new) empty document
- document > parameters: A4 - landscape
- margins: just uncheck "implicit margin" (no need to fill the rest)
- preview other formats - LuaTeX

The PDF output comes out with US letter - portrait format.

BR - Daniel




Did it for LyX 2.3.2 + MikTeX + Win10.

Attached are

  * a MWE
  * PDF generated by LuaTeX with A4 setting
  * PDF generated by LuaTeX with Letter setting

Seems like it LyX 2.3.2 setting is working fine in Windows and MikTeX
for both A4 and letter.

p.s. I used "showframe" package to show the boundaries.



Now here is something funny: your example did work here indeed.

After some hair scratching, I decided that the only difference with mine
was the showframe package.

So I suppressed it, and I was instantly back to US letter, portrait
format! Have you tested your example without the showframe package?



I suppressed the showframe package. Set the page size to A4. Export to PDF 
through LuaTeX. Paper size of the resulting PDF is still A4.

See also attached image of MikTeX setting  for default page size. There may be 
a similar setting of your TeX system or as you have mentioned, there may be 
Lua-specific setting that should be passed from LyX to to the Lua compiler. 
Only after you identify such setting, it may be specified in the "File 
Handling" section of LyX preferences.. Again, this is only a "guess".
