Re: Translate LyX document to another language

Thanks, Dr Eberhard W Lisse. The idea is to get a LyX file as the
result, but I understand it is something very difficult to achieve.

Thanks, Pavel, for the ideas you have suggested. As soon as I have
some spare time, I will try to implement them in Python.

Translate LyX document to another language

[Paul Smith]

Dear All,

Is there some way of automatically translating a LyX document, say,
from Spanish to English?

I have come across GoogleTranslate4LyX:

https://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/GoogleTranslate4LyX

However, since an intermediate step involves conversion to HTML files,
I am a bit skeptical about the quality of the result.

Thanks in advance,

I believe that a much needed development avenue that LyX could take is
to become able to export to markdown. Something like the following,
but builtin natively:

You can use R for that, Rich. Just open your .md file in R and preview
it in PDF. I have just tested this approach and it works.

No, Paul. There is a better approach: The one presented at the
web-address I mention on my initial message: In the horizontal
alignment, insert:

@{}c|c@{}

and select no matrix decoration. Then enter the brackets as you
suggested. You will see that the extra white space between brackets
and matrix will be gone.

I would suggest that LyX implements this approach: Augmented matrices
are shown very nicely and neatly.

Thanks, Paul. I am using

LyX Version 2.3.4.2

on Fedora Linux 31.

Have you selected the matrix decoration as [x], Paul?

As soon as one does that, LyX uses bmatrix environment, with which it
is impossible to get an augmented matrix.

Thanks, Paul. I imagined your "View > Code Preview Pane" idea, but I
though it would be easier to read the documentation, if there is some.
(The file format of tables in LyX does not appear to be simple.)

Regarding your other idea -- using xtable() or ktable -- I guess it is
not very practical in my case, as I have too many table (about 50
tables), and therefore I would like to insert all of them in their
right place in the LyX document, to avoid the work of copying and
pasting 50 times!

Paul

Lyx file format for tables

[Paul Smith]

Dear All,

Where can one find the specifications of the LyX file format for tables?

The reason why I am asking that is because I have a bunch of tables
that I want to export from R to a single LyX document, and the
approach I am considering is to produce in R a text file in LyX format
with all my tables inserted.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Thanks again, Paul. I have tried playing with

How to avoid breaking an item of enumerate?

[Paul Smith]

Dear All,

Suppose one has the following:

1. blablabla
   a) blablabla
   b) blablabla
2. blablabla
   a) blablabla
   b) blablabla

How to automatically avoid breaking the page in the middle of the
inner items? For instance:

Page 1

1. blablabla
   a) blablabla

Page 2

   b) blablabla
2. blablabla
   a) blablabla
   b) blablabla

In this example, the page break should be like the following:

Page 1

1. blablabla
   a) blablabla
   b) blablabla

Page 2

2. blablabla
   a) blablabla
   b) blablabla

Thanks in advance,

Paul

If the two ERT boxes break a LaTeX command in the middle (one ERT box
with the first part of the command and the second ERT box with the
second part), then you get an error. The point is: How to avoid such
an error, Kornel?

Thanks, Kornel, for your reply. The point is how to have two ERT boxes
in different and consecutive lines and the corresponding LaTeX file
with no blank line inserted between the code of the two ERT boxes. (My
code is much more complicate than the simple example provided here by

Correct, Kornel. But is it possible to have both in the same
paragraph, without having to use a single ERT box (instead of two
separate ERT boxes)? The reason why I am asking this question is to
have the possibility of arranging my several ERT boxes more clearly in
the LyX document, without having all of them in the same line.

Thanks, Scott, for the directions you have offered me. I did not

using the option

-i lyx filename.lyx

Thanks, Uwe. There was an error with

\@ifundefined{extrarowheight}
{\usepackage{array}}{}

and

Keyboard inbuilt shortcuts are not working on Fedora 21

 Hi Paul,

 I don't think I'm heard of something like this, from Fedora users or
 anyone. That certainly sounds frustrating.

 Which LyX version are you using and how did you install it?

 Can you please start LyX from the terminal with the following command?

 lyx -dbg 68  logfile.txt

 Then try CTRL + M.
 Then exit LyX.

 To give some more details on where 68 comes from, I did lyx -dbg |
 grep -i key to see which debug flags we could turn on that have to do
 with key events. That gave two results, 64 and 4. By adding those
 together we turn both of them on.

 Can you then send the logfile.txt that is created in whichever
 directory you ran the above command from?

Thanks, Scott, for your reply.

I have meanwhile found out the source of the reported problem: I copied my

.lyx

directory to a computer where I have a different username.

So, after having accordingly fixed the paths in the preferences file,
the problem disappeared.

 To give some more details on where 68 comes from, I did lyx -dbg |
 grep -i key to see which debug flags we could turn on that have to do
 with key events. That gave two results, 64 and 4. By adding those
 together we turn both of them on.

 Can you then send the logfile.txt that is created in whichever
 directory you ran the above command from?

Thanks, Scott, for your reply.

I have meanwhile found out the source of the reported problem: I copied my

.lyx

directory to a computer where I have a different username.

So, after having accordingly fixed the paths in the preferences file,
the problem disappeared.

Keyboard inbuilt shortcuts are not working on Fedora 21

[Paul Smith]

Dear All,

I am using LyX on Fedora 21, but contrarily to LyX on previous
versions of Fedora, the keyboard inbuilt shortcuts are not working.
For example,

CTRL + M

does not anymore inserts a inline math formula.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

 No, LyX uses the package subfig (not subfloat, not subfigure), which
 itself hooks into the caption package.

 Something like
 \captionsetup[subfloat]{captionskip=additional value}
 in ERT in the main float (before the actual subfloat) should do it for
 single floats.

 For a global change, put
 \AtBeginDocument{%
 \captionsetup[subfloat]{captionskip=additional value}

Thanks, Jürgen. That did the trick!

By consulting the source of my LyX document, I saw the word

 While there is no direct way of doing that in lyx, there are useful
 alternatives. My favourite is the XY-pic package
 (http://www.tug.org/applications/Xy-pic/), which is useful for all
 kinds of diagrams.

 To use it you need to install XY-pic (the 'xy' latex package), and in
 LyX, in the preamble (Documents-Settings-LaTeX preamble) you should
 write

 \usepackage[all]{xy}

 \newcommand{\pd}[2]{\frac{\partial #1}{\partial #2}} %this line is
 only for your specific diagram

 Then in the body, you create an ERT box (Ctrl-L) and inside you can
 put the following:

 \[
 \xymatrix{
         z \ar@{-}[dll]_{\pd{z}{x}} \ar@{-}[drr]^{\pd{z}{y}}          \\
   x \ar@{-}[dl]_{\pd{x}{s}} \ar@{-}[dr]^{\pd{x}{t}}           y
 \ar@{-}[dl]_{\pd{y}{s}} \ar@{-}[dr]^{\pd{y}{t}}    \\
 s     t     s     t \\
 }
 \]

 A first look at this might seem daunting, but once you read the xy
 user's guide it will seem quite straight-forward.

Thanks a lot, Ernesto. That is exactly what I was looking for.

Show all authors when citing BibTeX entry

Consider a BibTeX entry with 3 authors. With the style apalike, when

 Right, I get the same failure here with apalike. It seems that this style
 file is either not the most recent and needs updating, or is simply not
 natbib compatible. It produces in the .bbl file a line:

 \bibitem[Einstein et~al., 1935]{EPR1935}

 which should instead read

 \bibitem[Einstein et~al.(1935)Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen]{EPR1935}

 in order for natbib to produce a full author list.

Thanks again, Julien. Is there a workaround?
