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? -- ↓↓ Please bottom-post.

LyX-LaTeX to Web

Re: Forest beyond basics

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.
