Hello,

I want to create a shortcut for a minipage with a drop shadw box and line width.
After reading the page about command sequences on the wiki
(http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/CommandSequences) I down to this:
command-sequence box-insert Shadowbox

I just need to set the box width, from columnwidth to linewidth, is this 
possible?


Cheers,

Fabio.


Messing around with lyx -dbg action and inset-modify, I get:

command-sequence box-insert Shadowbox; escape; word-backward; inset-modify box Box Shadowbox 
position t hor_pos c has_inner_box 1 inner_pos t use_parbox 0 use_makebox 0 width 100line% 
special none height 1in height_special totalheight


Just passing the arguments to box-insert doesn't seem to work.
Most (if not all) of the arguments seem to be required for the
resulting box to be the same as the usual box inserted from
the menu.  You can add a char-right to the end of the sequence
(after another semicolon) to move the cursor back inside the box,
instead of having it end up just before the box.

On further messing around, eliminating the escape command
in the sequence above seems to work better for inserting
nested boxes; it works about the same otherwise.

(This is because when text is selected before the insert it
is placed inside the box and the cursor ends up just after
the box.  When no text is selected the cursor ends up inside
the box.  The word-backward command sends the cursor to
before the box in both cases.)

help regarding jabref to lyx



 Dear Friends
Can anyone help me regarding the input of reference through jabref to lyx?
I tried several times but jabref mentions something about the path link in the 
lyx.
I made the change but its not working. 
And I did the other way like, I made the bib file in jabref and imported 
through lyx but when I compile the file for PDF in lyx it doesnt show the 
references!!!
I appreciate any kind of help.
Thank you very much.

 Ray,

 Thanks for your careful and detailed response.  Here are my answers to your
 1-4.

 1.  Yes, I had gathered as much.

 2.  I was not limited in the number of .bib files I could add when running
 LyX on my old computer.  But you're right.  This is minor and can wait.

 3.  Yes, this is not an issue.

 4.  No, I'm not dealing with  master-child documents.

Your main problem therefore are citations that appear with a question
mark (?). Correct?

1. The bib file you used on the old computer must be the same on the
new one. Is it? Can you guarantee so? You may want to use a checksum
utility [1] to verify that they both have the same checksums. Chances
are they are not, and if so, proceed to (2).

 NEW INFORMATION:  I now realize that the .bib file I used (on my old
 computer) for the most important of my old papers is in my Mendeley desktop
 on the new computer but not in my BibTeX folder. Yet I can't figure out how
 to move it to the BibTeX folder.  A Windows Explorer search of all my
 documents does not find it, and the Mendeley Desktop doesn't seem to have
 any way to move it.

The bottom line is that the keys in the LyX document must match the
keys in the '.bib' file(s). Mendeley here is a third-party, and all it
does is generate the BibTeX file for you when asked. If what you do is
select the bib file directly from the folder Mendeley exports to,
chances are that you're selecting a new version where in turn chances
are high that keys are not the same as before.

2. Open up _all_ the bib files with a text editor. Search for a known
author, which you have cited in one of your documents but appears as a
'?'. The key is right next to the first curly brace '{'. This key and
the key LyX shows you for that particular citation must match.
Otherwise, you've run into a mismatch. Proceed to (3).

If you're curious, you can manually change the key in the bib file to
match the one known to LyX. Then preview the document, the citation
should now be visible.

3.  Check your Mendeley Desktop settings for where it stores the bib
file. Copy that file into your working directory (where your relevant
LyX files are for this particular document or set of documents).
Update your LyX files now by re-selecting every broken citation.

It is best to not load in LyX bib files that are generated by a
third-party application with no LyX integration, because it may be
overwritten. Mendeley Desktop, for the record, overwrites exported
(bib) files. That's why there's a big thin warning at the top of the
file.

Personally, I prefer to do away with any kind of integration even when
my final step involves KBibTeX (which does support LyX). I always keep
my bib files separate from what's generating them, and they reside
standalone among the related LyX/LaTeX documents. When there are
changes I simply replace them and update my documents accordingly.

Google lyx jabref. Only the first few results are what you need.
Remember that only cited references will show up in the list of
references. Otherwise, you have some other problem, which requires
more information.

What's going on is this. If there's nothing before the TOC, then 
\maketitle is not issued, so LaTeX does not try to produce a titlepage. 
If there is, then it does, and then you see the errors you do, because 
you haven't defined certain of the things you need to print the title 
page properly.


If you search for Please define in the cls file, you'll find the 
commands you need. You can put these in the preamble, e.g.:

\SetFullName{Shylock Muyengwa}
\SetThesisType{Dissertation}{
Etc.

The LyX way to do it would be to add these to the layout file. Things 
like this will work:


Style FullName
LaTeXType command
LaTeXName SetFullName
LabelType static
LabelString Full Name:
LabelSep x
Margin First_Dynamic
InTitle 1
Category FrontMatter
End

Style ThesisType
CopyStyle FullName
LaTeXName SetThesisType
LabelString ThesisType:
End

and so forth for the other commands you need.

Re: Newbie needs some help with covington: 'command \example already defined'

2012-04-30 Thread Jürgen Spitzmüller

2012/4/29 Cesko Voeten:
 I really need to use the paper document class (I actually am writing a paper
 and the other classes kind of suck for my purposes), but losing the ability
 to use examples isn't worth it.

Contrary to what the name implies, the paper class is rather exotic. I
would recommend article or even more article (KOMA) for papers. Is
there anything specific in the paper class you cannot find in article?

Newbie needs some help with covington: 'command \example already defined'

Hello!

I'm very new to LaTeX, but as a linguist I am becoming more dependent on it
every day. However, my only very basic knowledge of LaTeX is preventing me
from solving this simple problem.

As a linguist, I included the Linguistics module in LyX. Now I have these
new 'Example' options in the top-left drop-down box, that I use for
selecting the style of a particular line. However, this 'Example' option
(which I need to use at this moment) isn't working! When I add an example,
LaTeX gives me the following error when I try to preview the file:

! LaTeX Error: Command \example already defined.
   Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

followed by a bunch more errors.

It appears that the problem is inside covington.sty, as that's the last
file mentioned before latex bails out.

I can export the LyX-generated LaTeX into an ordinary .tex file, which
reads:

%% LyX 2.0.3 created this file.  For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[dutch]{paper}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{covington}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
\begin{example}
test\end{example}

\end{document}

which is rejected by latex with the same error.

I'm using LyX version 2.0.3 on a Gentoo Linux system.

Can anyone help me with this problem? Searching the mailing list has
pointed to a conflict with the Theorem module, but as I don't use it
anywhere in my document I'm at a loss as to what's going on.

Thanks so much!

I suspect the problem here is that the class you are using (paper.cls)
defines an example environment, and covington.sty tries to define
another one, which triggers the error.

The easiest solution is to use another class (such as article). Do you
have to use paper.cls?

Re: Help with inserting APA citations

Hmm,

I would need to see a bit more of the log, but my guess is you are
using a bib file that contains unicode characters (since the problem
occurs only when you insert references). Bibtex does not play along
very well with unicode. Some would say it does not play at all. If
this is the problem, you basically have two options:

1. go over your bib file and change all the strange characters (all
the characters with diacritic signs, for instance) to their Latex
fakes. For instance an a with acute character becomes {\'a}

2. Alternatively, leave your bib files untouched and switch to a full
unicode tex suite, including a bibliography program that understand
Unicode. I would recommend the biblatex+biber combination, which is
now pretty much supported by lyx (with some preamble code needed,
though).


To confirm the problem:

1. Check the encoding of your bib file. How to do this depend on the
platform you're on. On linux, an easy way (GUI) is to use a  text
editor like Kate or a ref manager like JabRef.

2. Look into your bib file for the reference that gives you problems,
and particularly for the string  Guarantee Program in India Those
two weird characters after India are a telltale of a Unicode problem,
I think. It is a Unicode two-byte sequence that bibtex/Latex does not
understand and renders as single-byte characters


If you can post a fuller version of the log (more context, i.e. more
lines before and after the error) and perhaps the reference that gives
you troubles, I may be able to help more.

Cheers,

Stefano

Re: Help with inserting APA citations

Well,

I am out of my depth when it comes to Windows, but the problem seems
to be related to line 29 of your bbl file. So it is a reference that
gives you problems, most likely. And my guess is that it is the
reference with key Jha2009 (your second one). What does it look like?
Does it contain any strange char? Perhaps it is malformed (missing
braces, etc)? Can you post it (not the whole bib file, just that ref)?


Cheers,

Stefano

 Hmm,

 I would need to see a bit more of the log, but my guess is you are
 using a bib file that contains unicode characters (since the problem
 occurs only when you insert references). Bibtex does not play along
 very well with unicode. Some would say it does not play at all. If
 this is the problem, you basically have two options:

 1. go over your bib file and change all the strange characters (all
 the characters with diacritic signs, for instance) to their Latex
 fakes. For instance an a with acute character becomes {\'a}

 2. Alternatively, leave your bib files untouched and switch to a full
 unicode tex suite, including a bibliography program that understand
 Unicode. I would recommend the biblatex+biber combination, which is
 now pretty much supported by lyx (with some preamble code needed,
 though).


 To confirm the problem:

 1. Check the encoding of your bib file. How to do this depend on the
 platform you're on. On linux, an easy way (GUI) is to use a  text
 editor like Kate or a ref manager like JabRef.

 2. Look into your bib file for the reference that gives you problems,
 and particularly for the string  Guarantee Program in India Those
 two weird characters after India are a telltale of a Unicode problem,
 I think. It is a Unicode two-byte sequence that bibtex/Latex does not
 understand and renders as single-byte characters


 If you can post a fuller version of the log (more context, i.e. more
 lines before and after the error) and perhaps the reference that gives
 you troubles, I may be able to help more.

Re: Help with inserting APA citations

Find below.
Thanks Stefano.
You are right is has strange characters. I migrated my entire library from
Mendeley. I guess the encoding did not go well. I would rather switch the
reference manager than redo all references because the database is huge. I
hope the biblatex+biber combination will help

Re: Help with inserting APA citations

Actually, I think you have a much simpler problem: your bib file is
corrupted (probably because of the translation from Mendeley). There
are no strange character in the original ref. Here is the correct ref,
just downloaded from
http://ideas.repec.org/p/pas/asarcc/2008-07.html#biblio

a negative predictor of participation in the National Rural Employment
Guarantee Program (NREGP). In state level analysis this pattern

positive relationship. This paper examines whether this sign reversal
in Andhra Pradesh is indicative of program capture in Andhra Pradesh
and better targeting in Rajasthan. We compare land inequality,
political interference, and geographical remoteness across the two
states and conclude that program capture may be an issue in Andhra
Pradesh, largely because of these reasons. We also find evidence of
complementarity between NREGP and the Public Distribution System

it is a perfectly standard bibtex ref. So, forget what I said about
unicode, etcetera. Just go back to Mendeley and look into the export
actions you originally took. I think something went wrong there. It
may be an encoding issue. Sorry I cannot help more, but I've never
used mendeley.

 two weird characters after India are a telltale of a Unicode problem,
 I think. It is a Unicode two-byte sequence that bibtex/Latex does not
 understand and renders as single-byte characters


 If you can post a fuller version of the log (more context, i.e. more
 lines before and after the error) and perhaps the reference that gives
 you troubles, I may be able to help more.

Re: Help with inserting APA citations

Thanks Stefano.
You are right is has strange characters. I migrated my entire library from
Mendeley. I guess the encoding did not go well. I would rather switch the
reference manager than redo all references because the database is huge. I
hope the biblatex+biber combination will help

Actually, I think you have a much simpler problem: your bib file is
corrupted (probably because of the translation from Mendeley). There
are no strange character in the original ref. Here is the correct ref,

it is a perfectly standard bibtex ref. So, forget what I said about

Re: Help with inserting APA citations

Well,

I am out of my depth when it comes to Windows, but the problem seems
to be related to line 29 of your bbl file. So it is a reference that
gives you problems, most likely. And my guess is that it is the
reference with key Jha2009 (your second one). What does it look like?
Does it contain any strange char? Perhaps it is malformed (missing
braces, etc)? Can you post it (not the whole bib file, just that ref)?

Thanks Stefano.
You are right is has strange characters. I migrated my entire library from
Mendeley. I guess the encoding did not go well. I would rather switch the
reference manager than redo all references because the database is huge. I
hope the biblatex+biber combination will help

Re: Help with inserting APA citations

Actually, I think you have a much simpler problem: your bib file is
corrupted (probably because of the translation from Mendeley). There
are no strange character in the original ref. Here is the correct ref,
just downloaded from
http://ideas.repec.org/p/pas/asarcc/2008-07.html#biblio

positive relationship. This paper examines whether this sign reversal
in Andhra Pradesh is indicative of program capture in Andhra Pradesh
and better targeting in Rajasthan. We compare land inequality,
political interference, and geographical remoteness across the two
states and conclude that program capture may be an issue in Andhra
Pradesh, largely because of these reasons. We also find evidence of

it is a perfectly standard bibtex ref. So, forget what I said about
unicode, etcetera. Just go back to Mendeley and look into the export
actions you originally took. I think something went wrong there. It
may be an encoding issue. Sorry I cannot help more, but I've never
used mendeley.

Help User Guide set as Document Defaults

2012-01-05 Thread nomnex

Beginner mistake...

I am currently reading the User guide (document class: book
(KOMA-Script)). By chance it is read only.

I clicked Save as Document Defaults by mistake.

Now, how do I get back to the Default document? Can re-generated a
Default document by removing a file (e.g. lyxrc.defaults) in ~./lxy
or in /usr/share/? Else?

Setting the class back to Article and Save as Document Default
won't help with the document settings of the User Guide. And, of
course, I don't remember the initial Default settings.

Thanks in advance.

The default document is just a LyX file. It's saved at

 Marco,

 The problem seems to be you're missing a font. Either install the font or
 change it. You might have to export to latex (fileexportlatex(pdflatex))
 and look at the latex code to see where the file is trying to use that font.

 You might try inserting a different font spec;

 e.g., type `I\fontsame font id=substitute font name'.

 Hi Marco,

 So you can compile other documents to pdf (ie, your installation of
 miktex and lyx were successful)?). Did you import your tex file into
 LyX? On which system was your document compilable? What is your operating
 system and version of LyX? These are all questions that you should have
 answered in your original email.

 It looks like you have a font problem. Have you tried changing the font?
 Assuming the problem is where the error suggests, try changing the font
 there. In math mode, to change font, click on the math toolbar (usually at
 the bottom) on the button that looks like a 2x2 matrix of A's.

 Does the document compile fine if you take out that line?

Hi Xu,

 
Can you compile other documents in lyx?


Can you please post/copy the entire log so we can see the error messages?

 

Answers:

 

- Yes, i can compile. if i create a simple new document (file\new) and then 
click on the icon view pdf, then it works.

 

- On the contrary, when I open a slightly more sophisticated document with math 
formulas (note that this document has been created in lyx by a friend of mine), 
and click on the icon view pdf, the it doesn't work. And it appears a new 
window with several lines of errors and the related descriptions. I will try to 
summarize the main errors (they are repeated for a large number of times):

 

- Error:

 FONT OML/zplm/m/it/12=zplmr7m at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not 
found

- Description: 

[Rudin 3.5] 
For any two real sequences $\{a_{n}\}$, $\{b_{n}\}$,
I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\fontsame font id=substitute font name'.

 

 

- Error

Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts

 

- Description

\] 
 
Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless \textfont 2
and \scriptfont 2 and \scriptscriptfont 2 have all
the \fontdimen values needed in math symbol fonts.

 

- Description

. \end{problem}
Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless \textfont 2

Hi Marco, 


So you can compile other documents to pdf (ie, your installation of miktex and 
lyx were successful)?). Did you import your tex file into LyX? On which system 
was your document compilable? What is your operating system and version of LyX? 
These are all questions that you should have answered in your original email.


It looks like you have a font problem. Have you tried changing the font? 
Assuming the problem is where the error suggests, try changing the font there. 
In math mode, to change font, click on the math toolbar (usually at the bottom) 
on the button that looks like a 2x2 matrix of A's.


Does the document compile fine if you take out that line?

Marco,

The problem seems to be you're missing a font. Either install the font or
change it. You might have to export to latex (fileexportlatex(pdflatex))
and look at the latex code to see where the file is trying to use that font.

 ?

 Thanks again,

 Hi Marco,

 So you can compile other documents to pdf (ie, your installation of
 miktex and lyx were successful)?). Did you import your tex file into
 LyX? On which system was your document compilable? What is your operating
 system and version of LyX? These are all questions that you should have
 answered in your original email.

 It looks like you have a font problem. Have you tried changing the font?
 Assuming the problem is where the error suggests, try changing the font
 there. In math mode, to change font, click on the math toolbar (usually at
 the bottom) on the button that looks like a 2x2 matrix of A's.

 Does the document compile fine if you take out that line?

 Hi all,

 I downloaded lyx and miktek but i am not able to create a .pdf of my
 document.
 The following error message pops up:

 I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
 so I will ignore the font specification.

 You might try inserting a different font spec;
 e.g., type `I\fontsame font id=substitute font name'.


 Anybody can help me?

 Thanks in advance.

 Best,
 Marco

Try using the MiKTeX package manager to install the mathpazo package.

Hi Xu,

 

could you please tell me how to install the entire package of fonts (at least 
those commonly used in scientific papers) ?

 

This process is a little bit tricky to me...

 

Thanks for the help.

Marco,


The problem seems to be you're missing a font. Either install the font or 
change it. You might have to export to latex (fileexportlatex(pdflatex)) and 
look at the latex code to see where the file is trying to use that font.

Answers:

 

- Yes, i can compile. if i create a simple new document (file\new) and then 
click on the icon view pdf, then it works.

 

- On the contrary, when I open a slightly more sophisticated document with math 
formulas (note that this document has been created in lyx by a friend of mine), 
and click on the icon view pdf, the it doesn't work. And it appears a new 
window with several lines of errors and the related descriptions. I will try to 
summarize the main errors (they are repeated for a large number of times):

 

- Error:

 FONT OML/zplm/m/it/12=zplmr7m at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not 
found

- Description: 


[Rudin 3.5]

so I will ignore the font specification.

- Error

- Description

Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless \textfont 2
and \scriptfont 2 and \scriptscriptfont 2 have all
the \fontdimen values needed in math symbol fonts.

 

- Description

. \end{problem}
Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless \textfont 2

Any suggestions?

 

Let me know if you need additional information.

 

Thanks again.

 

Best,

Marco

Hi Marco,





Please respond to the list.


Can you compile other documents in lyx?

OK, so when you remove that part, it still doesn't work. Can you please 
post/copy the entire log so we can see the error messages?

LyX on cd-rom would not help you any differently.

Hi Xu,

 

Thanks for the email!

 

my version of lyx is 2.0. Using texniccenter i have no issue in compiling my 
documents to pdf with miktex...

 

My operating system is windows...my computer is new...

 

I tried to follow your suggestion but it still does not work...I have to say 
that i am not an expert in these kind of stuffs but the issue might also be 
related with the italian version...

 

do you have any other suggestions? even if lyx is open source, do you know if 
there is a way to get  lyx in cd-rom (I am willing to pay for this) ?  

Thanks again,

Best,
