How to turn off babel?
I'm using the SPIE class file (v 2.8) of 16 July 2003. It's redefining
the reference citation macros in such a way that they collide with
babel, causing failed runs. The error messages vary, depending upon
the age of the TeX distribution. On Debian testing/unstable, I get:
! Missing \endcsname inserted.
to be read again
\mathsurround
l.13 ...s presented in \cite{2000SPIE.4012...17J}.
This is not a LyX bug. In the short run however, (i.e. paper was due
two months ago, must have it in by next Tuesday) I need to turn babel
off in the LyX output.
Is there any way of doing this? There's no language=none option that
I could find.
I'm using 1.3.2, xforms.
Thanks!

The problem is that since LaTeX dies with an error, I can't preview the paper. I've just discovered that I can temporarily insert natbib; that seems to override things enough so it'll work. I don't get the approved look to the in-text references, but as you point out, manual intevention before the final output will do the trick.

Thanks! that does the trick. I was looking under
Layout-Document-Language.
Philosophically, I'd prefer this to be a document preference, rather
than a general preference. In particular, the saved document is no longer
self-contained. In a year when I use it as a template for my next
paper, I'm sure I'll be asking the exact same question!
yes, this is not a good behaviour of LyX ...

Uncheck the Preferences-Language-use babel button, and make sure that
the language of the document is equal to the default language in the
preferences dialog.

Uncheck the "Preferences->Language->use babel" button, and make sure that
the language of the document is equal to the "default language" in the
preferences dialog.
