Enabling cropped PDF support
Hi! I'm using LyX 2.1.0rc1 on Debian Linux. In the File - Export submenu I'm seeing EPS (cropped), but no PDF (cropped), even though this feature is mentioned for PDF in the New in LyX 2.1 document at wiki.lyx.org. If I select File - Export - Export as.., I can select PDF (cropped), but using it results in the popup message No information for exporting the format PDF (cropped). Is my system missing a particular program that is needed for cropped PDF export? Best regards Torquil Sørensen

Problem with LaTeX import and svjour3
Hi!
I seem to be unable to import a \documentclass{svjour3} LaTeX document into
LyX. The tex2lyx command tells me that:
Cannot read layout file `'.
Error reading `'
(Check `svjour3')
Check your installation and try Options/Reconfigure...
Error: Could not read layout file for textclass svjour3.
However, I am able to compile the LaTeX document using pdflatex without
problems, and I have used Option - Reconfigure in LyX several times. In
addition, when starting a new LyX document, I can without any problems select
the article (Springer svjour3/global) document class within the LyX document
options. Exporting such a LyX document results in a LaTeX files using
\documentclass{svjour3}. This LaTeX files cannot be imported back into LyX due
to the error mentioned above...
What am I missing? :-)
I'm using 2.0.5 on Debian Sid, but also had the same problem with 2.0.3 on the
same OS.
Best regards

LyX / Beamer bugs?
Hi! I think I have managed to write myself into a corner that I'm unable to get out of, using LyX 2.0.3 and the Beamer document class. I have attached my LyX file, but I will explain the two issues first: 1) I don't understand how to insert an EndFrame at the bottom of the document, after the Block. If I put the cursor at the last possible position and press Enter, The Block environment only expands downwards, and I'm not given a new blank line. Downward arrow doesn't work either. If I could get a new blank line at the bottom of the document, I could insert an EndFrame there. 2) There seems to be something wrong with the layout... The ColumnsCenterAligned and each Column are located too far to the left, even outside the area of the LyX window... This must be a bug, no? Any pointers on what I can do to fix these tvo issues? I have attached the problematic LyX file for any kind soul that are willing te analyse my problem. Thanks! Torquil Sørensen lyx_beamer.lyx Description: application/lyx

xetex and theorem
Hi!
I cannot get PDF (xetex) output from the attached document which uses the
Theorems module. I'm using LyX 2.0.2 and Debian Sid with texlive-xetex. It works
fine when not using Theorems.
The error I get is:
! Undefined control sequence.
\definitionname -\inputencoding
{latin9}Definition
l.43 T
his is a definition.\end{defn}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
Sorry about the briefness, I'm just starting to type using a Dvorak keyboard, so
I'm extremely slow at the moment...

http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7800
A crude workaround is to put
\providecommand\inputencoding[1]{}
in your preamble.
Thank you very much!

Default output format and non-tex fonts
Hi! My default output format is "PDF (xetex)" in the LyX preferences, and this appears on the View menu with the keyboard shortcut "CTRL-R". However, if I select "Use non-Tex fonts (via xetex/luatex)" in the "Fonts" section of the Document properties, the View menu changes to have HTML as the default output format assigned to "CTRL-R", and "PDF (xetex)" is relegated to the "View (Other formats)" submenu, without a keyboard shortcut. Is this correct behaviour? LyX 2.0.2 Best regards Torquil Sørensen
Part* and \addcontentsline
Hi!
I'm having some trouble with customising the entry of a Part in the TOC.
My document has two Parts. The entries in the TOC are by default (in the PDF
output):
I Name of first part
1 Name of ch.1
2 Name of ch.2
.
.
.
II Name of second part
.
.
.
However, for reasons I don't need to mention here, I need it to be:
Part I: Name of first part
1 Name of ch.1
2 Name of ch.2
.
.
.
Part II: Name of second part
.
.
.
I.e., this style should be used only for Parts, not chapters, sections etc.
To achieve this, I changed to use Part*, and then tried to put in an ERT with
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{Part I: Name of first part}
and similarly for the second part.
And here is the problem: If I put that ERT on the same line as the Part* name,
the Show source displays the following LaTeX code:
\part*{Name of first part\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{Part I: Name of first
part}}
i.e. the \addcontentsline appears is INSIDE the braces for the \part*. The entry
appears correctly in the TOC, but the page number is too small, i.e. a two pages
BEFORE the actual page number of the Part*.
If I instead put the ERT in standard formatting on the next line below the Part*
name in LyX, the TOC entry points to a point two pages AFTER the actual page
number of the Part*, and the Show source displays the LaTeX code:
\part*{Name of first part}
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{Part I: Name of first part}
How can I insert this ERT in LyX so as to achieve the following LaTeX code,
which I suspect might achieve what I want:
\part*{Name of first part}\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{Part I: Name of first
part}
Or is there some other way?
Best regards

You're better of using the titletoc package to customize how the TOC
appears. Another option would be to redefine the \part command
(probably, actually, the \@part command) so that it writes the correct
thing to the TOC. In book.cls, for example, the command is:
\def\@part[#1]#2{%
\ifnum \c@secnumdepth-2\relax
\refstepcounter{part}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\thepart\hspace{1em}#1}%
\else
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{#1}%
\fi
\markboth{}{}%
{\centering
\interlinepenalty \@M
\normalfont
\ifnum \c@secnumdepth-2\relax
\huge\bfseries \partname\nobreakspace\thepart
\par
\vskip 20\p@
\fi
\Huge \bfseries #2\par}%
\@endpart}
So, if you are using book.cls, you just have to copy this to your
preamble and adjust it as you wish.
Richard
Thanks Richard!
I included a modified version of that code in my preamble. I replaced the line
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{\thepart\hspace{1em}#1}%
with
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{Part \thepart\hspace{1em}#1}%
which worked like a charm. My document class is uiophd, which is apparently
based on report.

It only complains about the "i", so I'm not sure how to add the whole "i.e." to the dictionary by using the LyX spellchecker dialogue. Best regards Torquil Sørensen
Locating broken bibtex references
Hi all! How do I locate broken references in a LyX document? I'm talking about bibtex references to other articles, not cross-references to labelled items within the document. I have a master document containing several child documents. The master document contains the bibliography and almost everything works fine. The document class is book in all documents. The child documents contain individual chapters. When I compile I get a few warnings in the latex log about undefined references. These warnings are accompanied by latex source code line numbers, but that doesn't help me to locate the error within LyX. Most citations work fine, but there are a few that cause problems because I have changed the bibtex file after I wrote the LyX document. E.g. somewhere in my document I have an old reference to a paper with a bibtex label whitney1957, but it is supposed to be whitney57. How do I locate the position within the LyX document where I have tried to cite the incorrect whitney1957? Thanks! Best regards Torquil Sørensen
Re: Locating broken bibtex references
I now see that latex provides page number and line number for the warnings, so I'm able to locate the error in the PDF output file, and then use this to find the corresponding place in the LyX file. But it would be nice if LyX itself could point me to the error in a more direct manner, without going via the latex log and PDF output file. - Torquil

Branches and document class

LyX slowness
Hi! While LyX is fantastic in almost every way, it is slow... My LyX is slow at pretty much everything. Typing, scrolling, moving the cursor around using arrow keys, highlighting sections of texts, etc. Even for small documents. This is strange, since my computer is quite fast. It is slow botjh when using the proprietary NVIDIA and the open-source Nouveau graphics card driver. I'm running LyX on an XFCE desktop on Debian Sid, using Linux 3.0.4 on a dual-core Asus laptop. It is not extremely slow, but slow enough to affect the user experience negatively. And I'm not one of those users that need everything to be lightning-fast :-) It is sort of like running modern programs on an old computer. I have gone through these points: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/PerformanceIssues My comments on the points raised there: * My LyX uses more CPU than X. Total CPU usage is less than 100%. * I don't use the outliner or source view. * Cursor movement is slow, at least compared to most other programs. * The Ctrl+Alt+F1 trick has no effect on the slowness. Any other ways to improve speed? I am willing to recompile LyX myself with special options, or even modify the source code to deactivate stuff that is inaccessible from the preferences, if someone would kindly guide me any suggestion on what might help. I will try to go back to the proprietary Nvidia driver now and check out the nvidia-settings command given on the page I referred to above. Or perhaps the newer Nvidia driver will allow LyX to speed up, if I'm lucky! :-) Best regards Torquil Sørensen

Per-chapter appendices for LyX book
Hi!
Does LyX support the Appendix package? My hunch is that lyx does not support
this natively. Am I right?
I'm writing something (documentclass book) that needs to have per-chapter
appendices. So the last few sections in each chapter would be appendices. I've
found that this can be done in LyX by:
1) \usepackage{appendix} in the preamble
2) Enclose the last sections of each chapter by ERT-s:
\begin{subappendix}
and
\end{subappendix}
This works beautifully. E.g. the first appendix in chapter 3 is denoted 3.A,
which is great!
But is it possible for me to define some sort of function to do this in LyX
without using ERT? I image some sort of box (looking similar to lyx note), in
which I can put several Sections. The contents of this box would then be
effectively enclosed in a subappendices environment as described above.
Is this something that can be done by defining those custom insets that are
accessible from the Insert menu? Or by defining a module, accessible from
the Document settings?
Or is it possible to get per-chapter section appendices in a LyX book by some
other, and perhaps simpler, method?

Hi! In order to successfully submit an article that uses PDF figures to the arXiv.org preprint server, it is necessary to have \pdfoutput=1 within the top five lines of the document. This is necessary in order to tell arXiv.org not to attempt any processing for generation of DVI and PS, which will not work since the figures are in PDF format. Is it possible make LyX include this in its LaTeX (pdflatex) export, so I don't have to add it manually to the resulting tex-file? It seems that anything added to the preamble by using the Document settings appears further down. Not within the first five lines. Best regards Torquil Sørensen

Any link information to learn this? Hi! The *.bbl should be automatically created by bibtex, so after doing pdflatex; bibtex; pdflatex; pdflatex, you should have the required *.bbl file in your working directory, if you look carefully ;-) Btw, recently I also had problems submitting to Elsevier. For some reason they couldn't process my manuscript using pdflatex. However, it worked fine on arxiv.org... I notified them about the problem, and they ended up asking me for a PDF instead. :-) Torquil

Not to imply that LyX is lacking in any way in this area (simply because I don't know), but I know that LyX is at least great for people like me, who are completely content to use a basic/default/ordinary LaTeX formatting :-) I just use it in order to have the power of LaTeX with less difficulty and better readability while I write. So I'm glad that I can automatically get a great looking document without having to do any formatting work. - Torquil

Hi again! Just found out that it is very easily accomplished in LaTeX, using
\subref{} instead of \ref{}. So I've done that using ERT in LyX.
For reference to others, there is a whole discussion about doing it in LyX here:
