Should be fixed in 2.4.0 which is about to release. Can you test with
2.4RC4? It is available in the download page in LyX's web page.

You can specify in the Language package "always babel" and pass the option
in the document class options.

Using  XeTeX or LuaTeX you can deactivate the default font feature
(Ligatures=TeX in fontspec's jargon), the whole purpose of this feature
is to mimic the ligatures knuth created in his fonts, which are not very
common in modern fonts.

You can do that by adding the line
\defaultfontfeatures[\rmfamily,\sffamily]{}
before you load any font. Because LyX loads
the fonts very early, you will need to load the fonts
in the preamble (in LyX 2.4 you'll be able to pass options
to the selected fonts in the fonts dialog).

Note that it will not affect anything other than the straight quotes
because LyX inserts the appropriate unicode character directly for
e.g. en dash, which is the recommended thing to do.

I attached an example file, Times New Roman is not necessary for that,
but you will need a font that supports straight quotes.

Until it is fixed, you can use a unicode aware engine (xetex/luatex).
In general, if you want to use unicode, it is probably a wise idea to
do so.

Yes to all, I think the default is the last one installed, but I'm not sure.

FWIW, I've seen two posts on facebook reporting the exact same
fenomena. One of them also specified he installed LyX on a new windows
11 laptop, so I don't think that having other installations is the
problem. The posts are in hebrew, a link for them will help?

With modern math fonts (open type) the range of 'blackboard'
characters is wider,
and it includes small latin letters, and arabic numerals as well.

With unicode-math, "$\mathbb{0}$" should be rendered as "ퟘ" (U+1D7D8),
but it seems that  LyX is not aware of that. Attached is an example.

Tufte Book uses \marginpar for all the sidenotes, footnotes etc., so
you can use the package marginfix to automatically adjust the vertical
placement of a side note. I don't know if someone wrote a package to
allow page breaks in \marginpar but that would be interesting.

Attached is an example file, this is the first page of the example
file of Tufte Book that is shipped with LyX, written by
Jason Waskiewicz, and edited slightly to demonstrate the package functionality.

Please read the documentation of the package for further details.

In Document->Settings->Fonts->Math (the non-TeX option loads
unicode-math). Regarding \mathrm,
it is a macro that you probably used in the body of the document.

Ah, I see! so that is the origin of the problem. It seems that
libertinus-otf loads unicode-math.
So either use \symrm instead of \mathrm, as mentioned in the previous
mail, or pass the nomath
option to libertinus-otf, but that would prevent libertinus-otf to
change the math font altogether.

Looks like you are using unicode-math and the \mathrm macro.
\mathrm will switch to the text font, which does not contain some
of the mathematical symbols (greek letters in this case). Use \symup
or \symrm instead.

If you want you can pass the option mathrm=sym to unicode math
so that \mathrm will work as \symrm, but that can prevent kerning
in operator names (\sin etc.).

The primitives macros called \pageheight and \pagewidth are not
responsible for the size of the text block, they are only changing
the size of the media box that the pdf reader displays.

They were first introduced in pdftex
(where they are called \pdfpageheight
and \pdfpagewidth, and in xetex as well)
since the pdf format is not meant to be used
just for printing.

On the other hand, LaTeX is using
two macros called \paperheight and \paperwidth
to control the text block (they are basically \textwidth and \textheight
plus some extra space for the margins).

Some driver aware packages (such as geometry) are setting
\(pdf)pageheight and \(pdf)pagewidth to be equal to \paperheight and
\paperwidth, but this is not done by default (I think that I saw LyX 2.4
adds \(pdf)pageheight\(pdf)paperheight in the preamble in some cases).

In any case I think the best approach to modify the geometry of the page
is to use the geometry package, this way you won't have to change the code
depending on the engine or driver that you use to convert your files.

You need to add \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} to the latex preamble so that
LyX will
know what is the correct encoding.

Instead of copy a LaTeX code try to import it via
File->Import->LaTeX (Plain).
Then the equations should appear in a new LyX file,
and you can copy them from there.

As the customization guide states, the LatexParam will be output as is
after all LaTeX Arguments.

You can add the extra curly brackets to the LatexName, e.g.,

Style myenv
LatexType Environment
LatexName myenv}{
Argument  1
LabelString"entry 1"
AutoInsert1
LeftDelim "["
RightDelim "]"
EndArgument
End

Or you can add a second argument:

Style myenv
LatexType Environment
LatexName myenv
Argument  1
LabelString"Something"
 Mandatory1
EndArgument
Argument  2
LabelString"entry 1"
AutoInsert1
LeftDelim "["
RightDelim "]"
EndArgument
End

But my approach feels a bit hackey.
Maybe someone else will have a better
solution.

Strange, it seems to only happen with Hebrew and LuaTeX.
To overcome this problem you can use the latexpar separator.

It can be inserted via the minibuffer, and you can create a shortcut
for it. The LFUN is separator-insert latexpar. see the attached file
for an example.

I don't know if it should be considered a bug of LyX.
The error is due to recent changes of the amsmath package.
The maintainer of refstyle should fix this (if he is still active).

You get the error because you load amsmath (it is loaded via newtxmath)
before refstyle. See the attached .tex file which produces the same error.
If you will load newtxmath via Document->Settings->Latex Preamble and set
the Math Font in Document->Settings->Fonts->Math to automatic, there will
be no error (see the attached LyX file)

the package unicode-math sets Latin Modern Math
as the math font by default, so there is no need for

I suggest using keyboard mapping, I think this is disabled inside math insets.
Go to Tools->Preferences->Editing->Keyboard/Mouse, check the
"use keyboard map" box, then write in the primary field null, and in the
secondary field hebrew.

Now when you write outside of math insets it should be in Hebrew,
even if your keyboard is in english (so you won't have to switch).

But how will you be able to write in english? as Riki suggested, create
a shortcut to switch between the languages. To do so, go to
Tools->Preferences->Editing->Shortcuts, press on New, in the Function
field write (without the quotation marks) "language hebrew", and in the
shortcut field, well, press the keys you want for the short cut.

 The column headers are in the second row, the first row is the caption.
You don't need to uncheck multicolumn in the headers, just keep the
width field empty, see the attached file I sent in the previous mail.

Since the alignment of the text inside the second
row is centered, contrary to the rest of the tabular,
these cells are typeset inside \multicell, and in this
case their width can be independent from the width
of their column.

If you will keep the column width field in the settings empty,
they will have the same width as the rest of the column
(currently they have widths of 45% and 55% of \textwidth, thus
the table flows out of the screen).
Change the column width only when the cursor is below
the headings.

Udi

Right click on the table and select "settings..." to open the tabular
settings dialog.
Put the  cursor in a cell inside the column you want to change, and in the
settings dialog in Table settings->Column settings change the width to the
desired one.

I would suggest loading the xurl package (using \sloppy can change other

The xurl package  allows line breaks in URLs at alphanumeric characters and

Hello ehud,

I don't know if it can be done in lyx, but i can suggest a workaround for
that (of course it is only
valid if your command is long in the first place).

You can set your style to be of "Latex TypeEnvironment" and create an
environment
that passes its body to \mycommand.

To do that, add to your style definition the following:

LatexNamemyenv
Preamble
\newcommand\mycommand[1]{}
\usepackage{environ}
\NewEnviron{myenv}{\mycommand{\BODY}}
EndPreamble

Note that with some commands it wont work due expansion order of \BODY,
so you might need to write

LatexNamemyenv
Preamble
\newcommand\mycommand[1]{}
\usepackage{environ}
\NewEnviron{myenv}{\expandafter\mycommand\expandafter{\BODY}}
EndPreamble

instead.

Hope it helps,
Udi

Hello,

There are few options. you can use either \boldsymbol of the amsbsy package
or \bm of the package bm package, both are supported natively by LyX (so
you don't even need to load the packages, lyx will do that for you).

If you are compiling with XeLaTeX or LuaTeX and using unicode-math, you can
also use \symbf, but lyx does not support this macro natively (you can
define a macro for that).

Rich,

If you open your terminal, cd to the temp directory and write:texindy
biota-to-set-wq-standards.idx
does this produce a file called biota-to-set-wq-standards.ind?

I've tried to compile a few minimal documents to see the differences
between the index tools.  I've noticed that unlike makeindex and
texindy, xindy does not produce a .ind file that should be processed
by latex and create an index list, but only an .idx file, which
usually gets converted to .ind file.

On the first page of Xindy manual it is stated that

"xindy is the formatter-indepedent command of xindy, the flexible
indexing system. It takes a raw index as
input, and produces a merged, sorted and tagged index. Merging,
sorting, and tagging is controlled by xindy
style files.

Files with the raw index are passed as arguments. If no arguments are
passed, the raw index will be read
from standard input.

xindy is completely described in its manual that you will find on its
Web Site, http://www.xindy.org/. A
good introductionary description appears in the indexing chapter of
the LaTeX Companion (2nd ed.)

If you want to produce an index for LaTeX documents, the command
texindy (1) is probably more of inter-
est for you. It is a wrapper for xindy that turns on many LaTeX
conventions by default."

So it seems you should use texindy and not xindy directly. I also
suggest that  after you switch from xindy to texindy (or makeindex) in
the preferences menu, open the temporary directory where lyx compiles
all the files (to do so, create a latex error on purpose by writing
\undefined in ERT for example, press on view complete log, and then
open containing directory),  and delete all the files there (or
atleast files with .idx and .ind extensions).

Do you currently have any index entry in the document? otherwise no index

Hi Rich,

If I understand the problem, you can always press undo (ctrl+z) or while in
the spanned column with  the cursor,  press on the set-multicolumn button.

Hello,

DId you use \chapter* for the preface title? The starred version does not
affect headers. I saw in the preamble that you sent that you use
\pagenumbering{roman}, I'm guessing that means you are unaware of the
\frontmatter, \mainmatter, \backmatter commands.

These macros are usually defined in book document classes. The purpose of
\frontmatter is to make the pages numbered in lower case roman numerals,
and the chapters to be unnumbered (even the unstarred version), but the
chapters (using \chapter not \chapter*) will appear in in the ToC and will
change \chaptermark as usual.

I think currently lyx is not supporting \frontmatter, so you will need to
use it with ERT, and you should note that because of that chapters in the
front matter will be numbered in the GUI but not in the exported pdf. The
problem with that is it will affect the numbers in the main matter, that's
why i usually write the chapters in the front matter in ERT (i.e i write
\chapter{Chapter Name} in ERT). I've provided a minimal example to
demonstrate that (note the page numbering although i did not write anything
in the preamble, and see which chapters are in the ToC).

For more information I suggest you read this page

.

Hi Ehud,

You might have looked into the examples folder in the user directory. This
folder should be empty with fresh lyx installation.

You can find the location of lyx's system directory in Help->About LyX,
this is the directory I meant for you to look, sorry for not clarifying
that.

You can find more information about LyX's directories in Lyx wiki
<https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SystemDir>.

Hi Udi,

There should be an example file for the beamer class in the examples
directory called beamer.lyx, in its appendix there is a url, are you
able to compile this file without any errors?

If so, can you provide a minimal file that demonstrates your error?

Hello Bernt,

Note that there are no theorem layouts that are defined in the article
class, you are probably using a theorem module.

Go to Documents->Settings-Modules and see which module you are using.
What you are looking for is a module that defines the theorems to be
numbered by type, so for example you can select the Theorems (Numbered
By Type) module.

If you also want the theorems to be conutered within another counter
(say section), then there are also modules for that too.

To get more information about modules, you can read section 3.1.2.3
LyX's User's Guide, which can be found in Help->User's Guide.

There are also a few examples for the usage of modules in different sections.

Hi Dan,

Note that the path command will not actually draw anything, unless you
will tell it to draw the path with the optional argument, i.e.,
\path[draw].

If I understand your problem, this will also not solve it, as the arc
key draw an arc that starts at the point you mention, and not centered
around it.

If you want to draw an arc for the angle, I recommend using the angles
and quotes (for the node) libraries (for more information see
https://tikz.dev/library-angle). I attached a file with what I think
is the desired output.

Re: old lyx document in lyx 2.3.6 doesn't compile

[Udicoudco]

Hello,

I think you can solve the problem in the following way:
copy the enumitem.module to the user layout directory, then change the
following paragraph

ModifyStyle Enumerate
Argument 1
LabelString   "Enumerate Options"
Tooltip   "Optional arguments for this list (see enumitem manual)"
EndArgument
Requires enumitem
End

to this

ModifyStyle Enumerate
Argument 1
LabelString   "Enumerate Options"
Tooltip   "Optional arguments for this list (see enumitem manual)"
PassThru1
EndArgument
Requires enumitem
End

After that, reconfigure lyx and restart it.

Udi

Hi,

You need to use \\ (force new line) instead of \par. The way to do that in
lyx is ctr+return. See the attached file.

Re: Fw: error with CV

[Udicoudco]

Hello Patrick,

It seems that moderncv is loading the inputenc package with the option
utf8, while you are loading this package with the option latin9.

 In latex it is only possible to load a package several times if all
the calls after the first one, is with a list of options that is a
subset of the options of the first call.

You can fix this issue in two ways. The firs way, as suggested by the
error message, you can add both options globally through the
\documentclass declaration. The way to do that in lyx, is to write the
options "utf8,latin9" (without the quotation marks)  in the text filed
called custom in Settings->Document Class. This will make lyx put
\documentclass[utf8,latin9,...]{moderncv} in the first line of the
output latex file. Note that any option written in the \documentclass
declaration will pass to all packages loaded after the declaration
(see the file attached).

The other solution is to change your language encoding to utf8 as
well. This can be done in Settings->Language, then check the radio
button called other, and select utf8 from the list. This will change
the call of \usepackage[latin9]{inputenc} to
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}, which will not produce an option clash.

As a final note, i would also write in the preamble

\firstname{}
\familyname{}

since moderncv expects these macros to be defined (you can also define
it as your name).

Regards,
Udi

Re: Table of contents and links in pdf

[Udicoudco]

Hello Dan,

To use hyperlinks in lyx you should assure that you use hyperref support.
To do so go to Document->Settings->PDF Properties and check the box named
"Use Hyperref Support", this will automatically create links in the table
of contents.

For more information about customizing the appearance of the links you
should read section 6.9 of  LyX's user guide, which can be found in
Help->User's Guide.

Udi

Hi Rich,

I don't have much  experience with KOMA-Script document classes, but from
what I've been reading in the documentation, automark does not have
anything to do with figure numbering, the command changes the page marks
above the headrule.

The reason the figure is numbered differently in the report class is that
in this class the chapter command is defined,  and as a convention when it
is  defined, usually figures are numbered within the chapter counter. On
the contrary, in report class, chapters are not defined.

To remove the figure counter from the reset list of chapter, you can simply
write in the preamble \counterwithout{figure}{chapter}, it will also change
the format of \thefigure to be \@arabic{\c@figure} which is what I believe
you want.

Note that this will only change the counter in the output file, and not in
the lyx file. To change the counter in the lyx file you can write in the
local layout

Float
Type  figure
NumberWithin  none
End

I attached a file with the changes specified above, i also suggest that you
see the preamble in my file and notice that none of what was written was
related to the problem, but only customized the page marks above the
headrule.

As a final remark, it is preferable that a MWE will be with no external
files, unless necessary. In this case, a figure can be created with no
external graphics within it, and because the inclusion of an external file
is path dependent, I could not compile your file without removing the
graphics from lyx, or downloading your pdf and changing the path in lyx. If
you will write a suitable MWE it will help people to help you.

Udi

Hello Enrico,

You can overcome the \tabularnewline problem more easily if you will
replace "\renewenvironment{tabular}{\begin{tblr}[t]}{\end{tblr}}"  in the
preamble with
"\renewenvironment{tabular}{\begin{tblr}[t,expand=\tabularnewline]}{\end{tblr}}",
this way you won't have to add "\\'' manually at the end of a line.  See
the attached file.

Udi

Hello Ehud,

I am not sure if the last message  I've sent was received as it  does not
appear in the mail list archive.
I wrote a module to solve your problem, you can get it here
.  I apologize in
advance for any misspelling in the example file, as I am not a native
english speaker. Please read section 3 in Tabularray.pdf before you start
to use the module.

Udi

Hi Rick,

Please note that since 2018 the "chngcntr" package has been integrated into
LaTeX2e (see LaTeX2e News Issue 28
),
So, if you are using up to date LaTeX format there is no need to load  the
chngcntr package.

Udi

Re: Syncing skim with LyX

[Udicoudco]

Hi Ehud,

Do you have a file called "lyxeditor.cmd" in lyx's bin folder? I'm not sure
it is delivered with lyx installation. If not, create one with the content
specified at the Okular section from the link you have sent (see attached
photo).

Hi Ehud,

I think you should go to "Tools->Preferences>File Handling->File Formats",
over there select the format you are compiling with and then choose the
application you want in the "viewer" menu  (if the application is not in
the menu you need to add the path of the exe file of the pdf viewer to the
PATH prefix in "Tools->Preferences->Path" and then in
"Tools->Preferences>File Handling->File Formats" select in viewer custom
and write the path to the exe of the pdf viewer in the text field that will
open up). I've attached photos of my configuration to compile with PDF
(XeTeX) (my viewer is sumatrapdf).

Re: Rotate text

[Udicoudco]

Hello Carlos.

To rotate a text in the middle of a paragraph go to
Document->Settings->Modules.
In there add a module called GraphicBoxes. Afterwards go to Insert->Custom
Insets and click on RotateBox.
Now there should be an inset layout with an argument titled "angle". In the
argument write the desired angle that you want the text to be rotated, and
inside the layout itself the text to be rotated. For more information and
examples you can read  section 5.8.1. of the Embedded Objects guide, which
you can find in Help-> Embedded Object.

Regards,
Udi
