How to select multiple bib entries with same author (2nd delivery)

2007-03-15 Thread Marco Bravi
Dear LyX users,

I have been trying LyX 1.5.0beta1 for some days now. I have one problem
which did not exist in 1.4.x or before with literature citations, using
external bibtex files. 

If one author (or any word) is listed in more than one entry of my
literature file (a pretty normal situation), in 1.4.x or above I used
to type the author name or key word in the Find: field and repeatedly
click on next to search in the whole bibtex file until the
document/citation containing that string/author/word until the desired
one was selected; then I inserted the desired citation.

With the new citation dialog, there is no Next button; in turn, the
typed string is matched automatically in the bibliography record list.

Unfortunately, however, only the key is searched for. This is rather
inconvenient, as the key is often related to the first author name,
while often one looks for one article by the name of another author, or
maybe one word in the title, and would like to select which article he
would like to cite among those satisfying the criterion of containing
the typed string. Therefore, I would like LyX 1.5.0beta1 to search in
the _whole_ bibtex database as LyX did before 1.5.

Is there any way to customise it to change the default behaviour?

Or is this a bug? (If it is, please consider this message as a bug
notification!).

Thanks a lot for all the nice work you have been doing! Regards from

I generally reduce their width to something less than 50% of the whole
page and two or more figures can nicely fit side by side. You can give
individual subfigures their own subcaptions and reference them in the main
caption, then.

Slightly OT: OVERLAYING PostScript pages

2001-10-11 Thread Marco . Bravi

Dear LyXers,

I have a problem. I frequently have to write letters on my
company's letter paper. This paper is produced by MS Word. All of my
colleagues who decide to write on it use a template and then print it. I
use Lyx and, given that it is not easy to code its aspect in LyX I have a
postscript file of it which I print, then feed back the paper in the
printer and overlay the text of the letter on it.

I would be interested in overlaying the content of a PostScript file onto
another. This way I could easily accomplish my purpose.

Do you know of any simple technique to accomplish this?

All my searches, so far, have failed.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Flush left equations with NO left indent, et al.

2001-09-17 Thread Marco . Bravi

Dear Lyx users,

I have been using (and advocating) LyX for a number of
years now (since version 0.7 actually). Lyx has grown up beatifully and,
if sometimes I still miss some features, I am glad of what it already
offers and of its ease of use.

I am now facing the problem of writing a paper with flush-left
equations. I am aware that both a fleqn option in the Layout-Document
menu and a fleqn package exist, but both leave an unwanted left indent.

Any means to get rid of it?

Another question. The paper should end up as a camera-ready paper written
in Times-new-roman (I am using Times--is it appropriate? I think nobody
will ever notice...) and a number of text elements sizes (such as those of
the title and of the section and subsection texts) are different from one
another and specified in points.

Is there any way to say to a paragraph: you end up written in 12pt and
you, instead, end up in 10pt?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Disabling printing bibliography note field

2001-04-04 Thread Marco . Bravi

Dear LyXers,

I know that this is a pretty plain LaTeX issue, but I
could not find an answer to this question on all the 4 claqssical LaTeX
manuals I own..

I use the "note" field in BibTeX files as a reminder of the main issue in
the publication, so that when I browse the list (e.g., within LyX
Insert-Citation) I can make the right citation choice.

Unfortunately, however, the note gets printed at the end of the reference
item, which is NOT wanted. I could strip the *bib files before sending the
files to the editor, but this seems to me awkward and inconvenient.

I imagine that there must be some switch, to be put in the LaTeX preamble
to disable this, but could not find it by browsing the books or the *bst
and *sty files themselves. Or, possibly, I am making the wrong use of this
field, which should be printed, period (but this seems unlikely to me).

Any hints from knowledgeable people???

L. 1.1.6fix1: No figures on file-close and then file-open???

2001-04-03 Thread Marco . Bravi

Dear LyXers,

I am using LyX 1.1.6fix1. I am rather satisfied with
it--also thanks to this deeply collaborative mailing list.

I have two misbehaviours to point out, though:

1. When LyX is first started, a document is correctly opened and all
figures are regularly shown. If I close it (file-close) and then re-open
it, they won't appear anymore (only its placeholder and name will be
shown, as it occurs when gs work is underway but... there is NO gs
working!)

2. In some cases, after a copy 'n' paste the selection color appears
somewhere else in the document window. Scrolling is all what's required to
make it go away--no other misbehaviour occurs.

Thank you a lot in advance,

Constrained column size in a long table

2001-04-03 Thread Marco . Bravi

Dear LyXers,

I seem not to be able to constrain the width of a column
to an assigned value in a long table (i.e., one that exceeds the
length of one page) using LyX 1.1.6fix1.

The table editor correctly shows that this special column is 5 cm wide an
left aligned but nothing saying this is saved in the LaTeX file and the
column dows not come out width-constrained as desired.

Is there any known bug preventing this? Or is a limitation of LaTeX that I
am not aware of?

2. In some cases, after a copy 'n' paste the selection color appears
somewhere else in the document window. Scrolling is all what's required to
make it go away--no other misbehaviour occurs.

Thank you a lot in advance,

Avoid hyphenation in table cells

2001-04-03 Thread Marco . Bravi

Dear LyXers,

I am trying to work out a medium complicacy table. In
order to have a decent layout, I would like to turn hyphenation off
*inside* the table (and only _inside it_).

Is this possible at all? I imagine I have to resort to raw LaTeXing, but
how can I do it?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Marco Bravi

Constrained column size in a long table

2001-04-03 Thread Marco . Bravi

Dear LyXers,

I seem not to be able to constrain the width of a column
to an assigned value in a long table (i.e., one that exceeds the
length of one page) using LyX 1.1.6fix1.

The table editor correctly shows that this special column is 5 cm wide an
left aligned but nothing saying this is saved in the LaTeX file and the
column dows not come out width-constrained as desired.

Is there any known bug preventing this? Or is a limitation of LaTeX that I
am not aware of?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Multiple citation problem with LyX 1.1.6fix1

2001-03-12 Thread Marco . Bravi

Dear LyXers,

I am using LyX 1.1.6fix1 and Pybliograpic 1.0.7 under RH
6.2.

I am having a problem when inserting more than one citation in a citation
inset. Indeed, LyX inserts a space after each "citation key-comma" group
(before the next citation key). Bibtex, apparently, does not like this:

White space in argument---line 12 of file watermin.aux
 : \citation{El-Halwagi:1989,
 :El-Halwagi:1990, Wang:1994, Hallale:1998}
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command

so that all the following keys are ignored and marked as "?"s in the final
text. Is there any fix for this, other than typing LaTeX by hand the right
way?

Tnx in advance by

Locale problems with XForms 0.89 ???

2001-02-01 Thread Marco . Bravi

Dear LyXers,

I have been using LyX, as well as writing programs using
the XForms myself, for quite a while under the LC_ALL=it_IT locale
specifier.

Until XForms version 0.88, all was OK. Since XForms 0.89, I started to
observe that all programs using them would be writing floats using the
COMMA as the decimal separator, yielding a number of problems (in LyX,
big problems with the preferences, as the font sizes are
written as x,00 instead as x.00 and this is misinterpreted
when reading--many font sizes being reset to zero...).

I solved the relevant problems like this:

In my programs: by calling setenv("LC_ALL", "POSIX", 1);

In lyx: by aliasing LyX as lyx="export LC_ALL=POSIX;lyx" which,
unfortunately, also changes the language used in the menus, as well as a
number of bindings I was used to.

Is there a "specialized" locale only for numerals? limiting the locale
change to LC_NUMERIC=POSIX does NOT work!

Thanks al lot in advance!

Problems with Right address and My letter layouts

2001-01-31 Thread Marco . Bravi

Dear LyXers,

I am using LyX 1.1.6 and I am having problems with the
"Right address" and "My address" layouts, language "italian" (the
application to a competition whose deadline is in one week.).

I would like to put the destination address of my letter on the top-right
corner of the page. I used to use "Right address" for this. Unfortunately,
this yields a number of errors with the new version of LyX (actually NOT
using the "letter" document type).

I tried to use the letter document type--now "right address" is not
anymore in the list, so I choose "My address" that ends up where I want
but:

1. If I choose language "italian", it complains that I have not switched
to "english"; NO PAIN: I select english before entering in "My address"
and re-select italian upon exiting from it, but... ops! ALL of the
paragraph disappear in the preview!

What's up?!? What do you think I should do?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Link failed for LyX on SPARC

2001-01-24 Thread Marco . Bravi

Dear LyX users,

I am a longtime (0.7.8) LyX user and I am pretty used to
LyX compilation under the Intel architecture.

I have recently installed a Sparcstation 2 (64 M Ram) with Debian 2.2, I
have installed the XForms 0.89 (which work pretty well with my own
programs) and wanted to recompile LyX.

Apart from the HUGE amount of space required by the default debug-enabled
switch, my final link fails.

1. My first attempt at linking was with the default object files _not_
stripped. Linking fails with the "memory exhausted" message (I said I have
64 M + 32 swap--ld was over 50 M RESIDENT image size before giving up...)

2. then I tried to find  strip all the "*.o" files, than issuing
"make" again. Now it fails with this message (that I imagine I would
receive anyway if only I had had 256M RAM!):

Link failed for LyX on SPARC

2001-01-24 Thread Marco . Bravi

Dear LyX users,

I am a longtime (0.7.8) LyX user and I am pretty used to
LyX compilation under the Intel architecture.

I have recently installed a Sparcstation 2 (64 M Ram) with Debian 2.2, I
have installed the XForms 0.89 (which work pretty well with my own
programs) and wanted to recompile LyX.

Apart from the HUGE amount of space required by the default debug-enabled
switch, my final link fails.

1. My first attempt at linking was with the default object files _not_
stripped. Linking fails with the "memory exhausted" message (I said I have
64 M + 32 swap--ld was over 50 M RESIDENT image size before giving up...)

2. then I tried to find  strip all the "*.o" files, than issuing
"make" again. Now it fails with this message (that I imagine I would
receive anyway if only I had had 256M RAM!):

How to put floats at the end of an article, max 1 per page...

2000-07-19 Thread Marco Bravi

Dear LyX users,

I am trying to have all the (figure and table) floats of an
article at the end of the text, max one per page, in the final revision of
the manuscript (as required by the editor).

I have inserted the floats in the text, since it is convenient to have
them appear in the text during the writing and first corrections of the
article on paper.

I am trying to put all of them at the end of the paper by use of
switches/simple commands (that can be commented out when unneeded), in
order to speed up the change from the editing layout to the final
editor-format layout.

Unfortunately:

- the "p" float placement control switch simply causes floats to be put on
the earliest separate page (and thus being numbered inside the text)

- the \setcounter{totalnumber}{1} which should set the maximum number of
floats appearing on one page, irrespective of their placement inside the
page, seems totally inneffective; I have tried putting this latter
directive both in the preamble and in one of the first document lines,
marking it as a LaTeX paragraph.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks a lot in advance,

    Marco Bravi

 it's a little bit tricky:
 - choose only option p for placement
 - give the first figure a size bigger than your page
   (you can put the real figure on a white background)
 
 now latex puts the first figure at the end and all the others
 behind this.
 i dont't know a better solution.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. It may well solve the first problem
(putting everything at the end) but:

1. Does not help during the editing stage--I would like the figures to
appear at their normal in-page locations then;

2. Even if the first float appears after the last text page, still small
size floats will end up in one single page, because the
\setcounter{totalnumber}{1} directive seems not working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot. It does _exactly_ what I need, has a lot of configurable

Only a (minor) glitch, that I am not able to track it down myself, and for
which a perfect workaround is extremely easy:

It gets somewhat confused when it finds a table ending at the very
end of the float itself, and latex fails there. Just adding an empty
paragraph at the end of each (by inserting a protected space in
it) fixes everything.

Once again, thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. It may well solve the first problem
(putting everything at the end) but:

1. Does not help during the editing stage--I would like the figures to
appear at their normal in-page locations then;

2. Even if the first float appears after the last text page, still small
size floats will end up in one single page, because the
\setcounter{totalnumber}{1} directive seems not working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot. It does _exactly_ what I need, has a lot of configurable
options and, in its latest stable version, is a standard tetex (r. 0.9)
package.

Only a (minor) glitch, that I am not able to track it down myself, and for
which a perfect workaround is extremely easy:

It gets somewhat confused when it finds a table ending at the very
end of the float itself, and latex fails there. Just adding an empty
paragraph at the end of each (by inserting a protected space in
it) fixes everything.

Once again, thanks a lot!

How to put floats at the end of an article, max 1 per page...

2000-07-19 Thread Marco Bravi

Dear LyX users,

I am trying to have all the (figure and table) floats of an
article at the end of the text, max one per page, in the final revision of
the manuscript (as required by the editor).

I have inserted the floats in the text, since it is convenient to have
them appear in the text during the writing and first corrections of the
article on paper.

I am trying to put all of them at the end of the paper by use of
switches/simple commands (that can be commented out when unneeded), in
order to speed up the change from the editing layout to the final
editor-format layout.

Unfortunately:

- the "p" float placement control switch simply causes floats to be put on
the earliest separate page (and thus being numbered inside the text)

- the \setcounter{totalnumber}{1} which should set the maximum number of
floats appearing on one page, irrespective of their placement inside the
page, seems totally inneffective; I have tried putting this latter
directive both in the preamble and in one of the first document lines,
marking it as a LaTeX paragraph.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks a lot in advance,

    Marco Bravi

Publication on Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research

1999-10-25 Thread Marco Bravi

Dear LyX-ers,

I am about to send a manuscript for publication in Industrial and
Engineering Chemistry Research (an American Chemical Society magazine).

They allow TeX/LaTeX files in BUT they state:

(...) Avoid using \include, \epsffile{}, or \input commands to link
external files, including any graphics files. All the parts of the paper
listed above must be present within a single file. (...)

I am rather dubious about how I can put my EPS or mixed LaTeX/PostScript
image files inside the main document. So far, I used "Insert-Figure-EPS"
and "Insert-Include-Use Include, respectively. What should I do now? Is
it at all possible (maybe, using raw LaTeX, if LyX does not support this).

Thanks in advance for your consideration and help.
