Re: eLyxer and (web) typography
Dear all and especially Alex! very difficult to read: you are exaggerating, which is not a good way to start a sane discussion. Agreed. I deeply appologize for my strong words. They were not intended to offence. You surely put a considerable amount of time into this. Sorry. I may coment more later on. Best regards, Timmie
Re: Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class
I do not know why the name of the author (Aiginger) is repeated so remove that particular entry from the bib file. Does it work then? I tried different encodings when I exported my references from citavi to bibtex (UTF-8, US-ASCII, Western European (ISO), ...) but nothing changed. Is there a specific encoding I should use? I think that ISO should do.
Re: eLyxer and (web) typography
It seems my previous post got lost, so I am reposting (with little changes), but without attaching the CSS file. As example, by modifying line 5 of lyx.css from font: x-small serif; to font: small sans-serif; and then adding the line font-family: serif; to .formula, the text is more web-styled (i.e. it uses sans-serif fonts (formulas stay in serif) and fonts are a little larger. Yes, This kind of modifications incorporate more screen-friendly display. Compare it to the beamer output versus beamer notes.

eLyxer and (web) typography
Hello, I have see recten posts about eLyxer and become curious. I would like to suggest to edit the standard stylesheet provided by http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/lyx.css The text from the example is very difficult to read. To my humble opinion, the generated html should follow the tradition of Lyx in creating readable, user-friedly and accessible documents.

Re: Clipboard WorkArea ?
Hi, would anyone find it useful to have a particular (dockable) window showing the clipboard content, of course in fully LyX-formatted way within its own read-only WorkArea ? Also, it could show a queue of the last copied contents, so that a user could paste any one of them into the current cursor position by simply clicking on it. Also, instead of showing the entire copied stuff, it could perhaps only show the first (or the first k) line(s), and/or the last (or the last h) line(s), for long text segments. Insets could show up as always closed to keep it compact. I would really find this attractive. Thaks for your posting idea. MAybe you want to enter it in BUgzilla? Kind regards, Timmie

bibtex issues with format of authors
Hello, although this is not a core latex list I would like to ask for your advice on an issue with author entries in Bibtex databases. Sometimes, the author (or editor) can be an institution or organisation which could be abbreviated in text like: Balabla blub (FAO, 2007) But still one wants to appear the whole name in the bibliography: FAO, Food and Agricultural Organisation (2007): reference guide for planing new trees. How could this be achived? Another exmaple id given in this post here: http://www.cqf.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3726 Thanks in advance and kind regards, Timmie

copypaste insets in Lyx 1.5.3 (Ubuntu)
Hello, I discovered that copying insets with normal procedures either through the Edit menu or keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+C - CTRL+V) doesn't work on my installation (details see below). Steps to repoduce: 1) Insert any ERT inset 2) insert a Lyx note 3) select the ERT inset 4) copy the selected inset like mentioned above 5) try to paste the inset in the note = this fails for me. I can only copy/paste insets in the old unix style: selecte with right mouse button and paste insets with the middle mouse button. Is this intended by the developers? Do others who work on Ubuntu have the same problem? Is this a bug? Shall I file a report? Is it a bug of the Ubuntu package or Lyx? I think copyingpasting insets should works in the same way as copying normal text in Lyx. OS: Ubuntu 7.10 aka Gutsy Lyx version: offical Ubuntu: 1.5.3 Kind regards, Tim

That works, but you get red and green boxes around the things that are

lyx template wanted: journal or conference abstracts
Hello, a quick question: Is there a template for Lyx preparing journal or conference abstracts? Sometimes we write abstracts for conference presentation before the articles are written or the presentation is approved to be held. Therefore, just taking the article class and use the environments author, title, date, abstract wouldn't help. Often, these abstracts need to fit on one page (1x DIN A4). So far, I found this: http://journals.iucr.org/f/services/latexstyle.html Thanks in advance for your input, Timmie

Re: LyX vs. Scribus
You can use Srcibus for Invitations or (more intersting for publishers) to design cover pages for books and thesis work. I used Inkscape for my cover page since I was not familiar with Scribus. While working on another document I learned a bit more. The PDF generation is really good. The user interface could become a bit more intuitive... a page layout program. I would hestiate to use LyX to publish the local club newsletter and would not use A German mangazine on free software and Linux uses Latex to produce a very nice layout: http://www.freies-magazin.de/2007/freiesMagazin-2007-07.pdf On the page they even share their Latex layout which looks quite professional: http://www.elyps.de/magazin.html regards, Timmie

Hello Jannika and welcome to the Lyx-world! 1.) i'd like to import a graphic (eps) into my lyx file. even though i do not get an error message, neither in lyx nor in the pdf file does the graphic show. Maybe you don't have the converter program (imagemagick) installed? 2.) when i try to export my lyx file into postscript or rtf format i get an error message. What message? i use lyx 1.4.4. on a macbook (os x). any help is appreciated, but please write instructions so that i (not even remotely a computer expert!!!) can follow them. I use Ubuntu so maybe Lyx on OS X is different. But the more verbose you are on your problems the easier it will be to help you. Good luck.

Re: bibtex page numbering
first page of TOC, first page of new chapter, etc) have no number and the
numbering starts on the next page. I used \thispagestyle{empty} to
accomplish this and it worked fine. After the last page of text in the
thesis, I did a page break and then put \thispagestyle{empty} before
inserting my bibtex bibliography, but the page number still appears on the
first page of the bib... How can I remove this?
All these page numering sound very complicated to me. Why not using the
report of koma script class.
Once you want to have a new section you can put
\cleardoublepage in ERT
OK, maybe I misunderstood you here...
Secondly, I had bibtex insert the bibliography in the TOC, but it writes
bibliography in lower case letters, and all my other chapters etc are
written in all caps. How can I change what bibtex calls the
bibliography in
the TOC?
I donno how to solve this but I know that this is either mentioned in
the manuals or the wiki. Sorry, I don't know the exact location.

This may be necessary to avoid unlucky linebreaks, like in: A good documentation should weight no more than 1 kg. Obviously, it would be a good thing to put a protected space between “1” and “kg”. A protected space is set with Insert . Special Formatting . Protected Space or with C-Space. Maybe there issue disussed in this thread here could be added there? Regards, Tim

Re: Physical units
Concerning units, don't forget that there is only a hlaf space between number and units. A half space is produced in LyX with the shortcut Ctrl-Shift Space (menu Insert- Formatting - Thin space), see also the attached example. Thank you for clarifying! I did try the packages units/SIunits but then changed and used all units with a protected space after the numbers as recommended in the documentation. Could this be adapted in the documentation, please? In section 6.5.5 of the handbook of my package there's still recommended to use a proptected spaces between numbers and units: A good documentation should not weigh more than 1 kg I am still using 1.4.3 (Ubuntu) so maybe this has already been changed. Kind regards, Timmie

Re: Questions regarding hyperref
I cannot help you here as I don't have the file. I assume the reason is
one of your strange preamble hacks. To find the reason, copy the file
and remove everything except of one text line. If you then still have
problems, remove the preamble stuff step by step until you found the
problematic code.
For the debugging of your preamble I recommend to put it in a external file.
Put the following in preable part of your document settings:
\input{preamble.tex}
Then create and edit preamble.tex with the editor of your choice.
This is also an advantage becaue you'll be able to reuse the preable,
have different versions etc.
numbering problem using appendix with koma-script
Hello,
I am writing a text with the class report (koma-script).
I am having the following problem:
When I add an appendix all
numerations will have a ending point added.
I found the problem with the option pointednumbers in koma script.
(see p. 47:
ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguien.pdf)
According to the documentation and German grammar rules normal sections
with numbers should not have a point whereas appendices should have one:
1 first section
2 second section
A. Appendix
B. AppendixB
koma script creates this formating through storing this information in
the *.aux-file. Latex should be run twice to include this. When I
preview a postscript (CTRL+T) and and directly actualize it directly
afterwards (CTRL+SHIFT+T) I cannot see any effect.
What can I do to get the above described formatting?
I had the same problem with having a passage like see another author
\cite{author_x} in my bibtex file.
Thank you for your help!
Timmie
Re: numbering problem using appendix with koma-script
This is inconsistent and wrong. The 1996 Duden says (R4): Bei der Abschnittsgliederung *mit Ziffern und Buchstaben* steht der Punkt nach römischen und arabischen Zahlen und nach Großbuchstaben. i.e. the dot has to be after numbers *and* letters, if there is an appendix. I cannot find this rule in the 2004 Duden (23. Auflage), though. I have 2006 Duden (24. Auflage) and can't find it either. I don't know why the'd bulid this option in that package. Very strange. I found some discussion at: Help with the (non-existent) points in the numbering of parts and appendices http://www.komascript.de/node/604 When I will this text finshed I gonna contact the author of koma script for clarification. Strange that no one else wondered about this. Especially the issue reported for figures and tables is wired: http://www.komascript.de/node/604#comment-1416 What can I do to get the above described formatting? I don't know if it is possible. You can leave the dot or have it, but having it with letters and leaving it with numbers is not desired. Yes, I'll use pointlessnumbers. Thanks for answering, through!
Re: numbering problem using appendix with koma-script
I don't know if you understood it already (or maybe I did not get your point). I understood you answer. There are two possibilities according to Duden 1996: I check my Duden once again and couldn't find it. No way. The new Duden even has no R.x rules. they are named K.x I you have a page numer or something that would be great. In *both* cases, referring to a sectino results e.g. in Section 1.2 (i.e. without the dot after the last number!). The KOMA option pointlessnumbers gives you the result of possibility 1, even if there is an appendix. The KOMA option pointednumbers gives you the result of possibility 2, even if there is no appendix. Thanks for your clarification. Since I have a appendix LaTeX came up with the automatic solution described in the documentation. What troubles me most is that it also puts these dots after the words Figure and Table in all captions which not desired at all. This was written also at: http://www.komascript.de/node/604#comment-1416 appendix. But if you change something in the lyx document and compile again, the change should become effective. I try. If not I'd rather switch off than having also doted captions. Greetings, Tim
