The problem stems from marvosym redefining \Rightarrow. I think that the

Within LyX, go Insert - Lists TOC - BibTeX reference, then add your BibTeX database file, and select the style of your reference.

Wrong papersize when using pdflatex
Hi all, If my LyX documents contain images then the papersize of the pdflatex output gets set to letter (8.5 × 11 inch), whereas I want it to be A4. I don't have this problem if the margins are set to default or custom. If I remove the images OR use a different pdf generator OR change the margin settings then the paper size is okay, but I would prefer having all of these things. I'm guessing that if I update some packages the problem could probably be fixed, but I don't really want to update everything. If someone could suggest the exact cause that would be great. I'm running LyX 1.3.5 (Qt) on Fedora Core 2, TeTex version 2.0.2-13. From what I can tell, the default paper size for pdflatex is set to A4. Many thanks. Lata, Paul

I don't have this problem if the margins are set to default or custom. If I remove the images OR use a different pdf generator OR change the margin settings then the paper size is okay, but I would prefer having all of these things. I'm guessing that if I update some packages the problem could probably be fixed, but I don't really want to update everything. If someone could suggest the exact cause that would be great. I'm running LyX 1.3.5 (Qt) on Fedora Core 2, TeTex version 2.0.2-13. From what I can tell, the default paper size for pdflatex is set to A4. Many thanks. Lata, Paul

Hi Rob,
If you're happy with the rest of the reference formatting, I'd simply
search through your bst file and see where it adds the et al, then
simply include it within an \emph.
For example, change the line from:
{ et~al. * }
to:
{ \emph{et~al.} * }
(...there is likely to be more than one occurance within the file)
Also, change the name of the modified bst file to avoid conflictions.
Hope this helps.

Accented characters and BibTeX
Hi all,
What is the most efficient way of inserting accented characters into BibTeX?
In the past I simply inserted the ASCII character into the BibTeX file
with emacs and never had any troubles. I've recently upgraded from
RedHat 7.2 to Fedora Core 2 and now this no longer works. Depending on
the ASCII character I insert, it either gives the wrong output, or it
gives an error. For example;
é appears as é in both dvi and pdf output
Ö gives the error; Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is
undefined ... {\em ^^c3^^96} ... You need to provide a definition with
\DeclareInputText or \DeclareInputMate before using this key.
A hunt around only gave me the clue that accented characters should be
inserted as TeX code...I tried this and it worked...but my BibTeX file
already has a lot of these characters in it.
In the worst case I'll be able to work around, but it seems a little
unusual to me that this used to work, but not anymore. Even more
confusing is that if I copy and paste the characters from emacs into the
LyX document text they come out fine.
Any clues?
Cheers,
Paul

gives an error. For example;
é appears as é in both dvi and pdf output
Ö gives the error; Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is
undefined ... {\em ^^c3^^96} ... You need to provide a definition with
\DeclareInputText or \DeclareInputMate before using this key.
A hunt around only gave me the clue that accented characters should be
inserted as TeX code...I tried this and it worked...but my BibTeX file
already has a lot of these characters in it.
In the worst case I'll be able to work around, but it seems a little
unusual to me that this used to work, but not anymore. Even more
confusing is that if I copy and paste the characters from emacs into the
LyX document text they come out fine.
Any clues?

Accented characters and BibTeX
Hi all,
What is the most efficient way of inserting accented characters into BibTeX?
In the past I simply inserted the ASCII character into the BibTeX file
with emacs and never had any troubles. I've recently upgraded from
RedHat 7.2 to Fedora Core 2 and now this no longer works. Depending on
the ASCII character I insert, it either gives the wrong output, or it
gives an error. For example;
é appears as "é" in both dvi and pdf output
Ö gives the error; "Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is
undefined ... {\em ^^c3^^96} ... You need to provide a definition with
\DeclareInputText or \DeclareInputMate before using this key."

EPS graphics rotating page
Hi all, I've got a formatted Excel spreadsheet that I need to insert into my document. Its got a heap of colour and formatting, so I can't just import it in as a LyX/LaTeX table. I have printed it out to an EPS file, and (eventually) I got it to insert into my LyX document. The problem is that it rotates the page when I view it in PDF, and when I try to print it just gives a blank page. It doesn't matter whether I rotate the figure in LyX, or even if I rotate the EPS, that page in the PDF output is rotated (as a landscape). Any clues?
