Re: LyX 2.0: problems using XeTeX and thesis template
(Apologies for the slow reply.) I've tried adding the \AtBeginDocument{} as
you suggest but while the error goes away, the cross ref formatting is not
honoured.
I think I might try to get my head around *refstyle* as this is the way LyX
is moving for cross ref formatting, correct?

Sorry, I mixed it up with xltxtra.
So xunicode is now also usable with LuaLaTeX?
The version at CTAN, 2010/11/06 v0.96, still checks solely for XeTeX.
However, I found in fontspec.dtx:
% Now we load \pkg{xunicode}, working around its internal \XeTeX\ check
% when under \LuaTeX.

Note there is (correctly or not) a difference between amsmath and
amssymb. The Document->Settings->Math Options can only prevent using
\usepackages{amsmath}. amssymb is always loaded automatically or
loaded when you choose "use amsmath".
This is the same as in 1.6.x.

The template files do actually have this embrace, but it doesn't prevent the
parsing error. Or do you mean the next release will do something else that
will fix the problem? Thanks Jürgen.
For completeness, this is the preamble, taken directly from the chapter
template:
% increase link area for cross-references and autoname them
*\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\ref}[1]{\mbox{\autoref{#1*

* \renewcommand{\subsubsectionautorefname}{sec.\negthinspace}*
* \renewcommand{\figureautorefname}{Fig.\negthinspace}*
* \renewcommand{\tableautorefname}{Tab.\negthinspace}*
*}*
% in case somebody want to have the label "Gleichung"
%\renewcommand{\eqref}[1]{Gleichung~(\negthinspace\autoref{#1})}
% put the link to figure floats to the beginning
% of the figure and not to its end
\usepackage[figure]{hypcap}

% make caption labels bold

Yes, these are the thesis set of template files that ship with LyX 2.0.
I tried adding this to the chapter template preamble. The error is removed,
but it seems to be because the commands are not processed — the cross ref
labels are not applied.

Please never disable "AMS always" but not "AMS automatically": this would
lead to errors as soon as an AMS-requiring construct is put into the
document.

I am glad you found the core of the problem.
(BTW: the current version of fontspec does no longer load xunicode, but
we should care for users with older versions.)
Testing here with a pre-beta-2 SVN version,
LyX 2.0.0svn (not released yet)
Built on Nov 26 2010, 14:31:19
I get
%% LyX 2.0.0svn created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[british]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage[variant=british]{english}
\begin{document}
Hallo $\Rrightarrow$.
\end{document}
which compiles fine.
However, I also found that even if I do not check any of the AMS math
options, LyX 2 behaves as if the "Load AMS math automatically" option
were set:
a) the "AMS symbols" toolbox is enabled.
b) inserting a symbol from it inserts \usepackage{amssymb} in the preamble.
c) even writing \Rrightarrow in a math box (converts this to the symbol and)
inserts \usepackage{amssymb} in the preamble.
Because of c), a work-around with disabling AMS math in the checkbox and
loading in the LaTeX preamble will fail.

This problem should be fixed in the next release. The trick is to embrace
these calls in
\AtBeginDocument{%
...
}
so that they are executed after polyglossia (and babel).

LyX 2.0: problems using XeTeX and thesis template
Hi all. I'm gingerly trying to switch over to LyX 2.0 (beta 1 2) and to
start using XeTeX so I can more easily access additional fonts. I'm writing
a thesis using the included thesis templates. Actually my current work uses
the template set sent out on these lists earlier in 2010, so I created brand
new sample files from the new 2.0 version to test the problems I'm about to
describe.
1. conflict with AMS package
I've found that simply activating XeTeX under *Document Settings –
Fonts*will cause parsing errors on viewing if the document also has
*Math Options – Use AMS math package* checked; eg, LaTeX Error: Command
`\Finv' already defined, etc. I think this is a known conflict between XeTeX
and the AMS package, is that right? By changing the setting to *Use AMS math
package automatically* though, these particular errors go away. Note that
this occurs in the generic default new document (*article* class) as well as
the *KOMA-script book *class that the thesis uses.
So for a 'simple' document — which has the automatic AMS math package option
checked by default anyway — this seems to fix the problem. But is that a
reasonable thing to do, or is the thesis template not initially configured
to use the auto version for good reason?
2. conflict in thesis template
Beyond that, changing to the automatic AMS math package in the thesis
document introduces new errors. In a brand new, entirely unmodified chapter
template file, XeTeX compilation now complains about the use of ' \addto
\extrasenglish{' in the preamble (used to define cross reference
identifiers). Is this another conflict between XeTeX and ... is it *hyperref
* these overrides refer to?
Would this be the appropriate moment to switch to using *refstyle* for
customised cross referencing? And is doing so a case of going and reading
that packages documentation? I can't find much in the LyX help files beyond
the fact that the option exists. One of the benefits of the hyperref
approach is not having to switch each cross ref instance to the *Formatted
reference* type...
3. custom character-style error
Finally, and this is more an annoyance than an impediment, my custom
character style module (based on info from Rob
Oakes)
generates an *Undefined flex inset *error: 'Flex inset TechnicalDefinition
is undefined because of class conversion from article to article' (and the
same occurs in scrbook). This only seems to get thrown if I save a change
made within Document Settings, not on view, etc. Is there something in my
module that might cause this?
#\DeclareLyXModule{thesis styles}
#DescriptionBegin
#Adds character styles for PhD thesis
#DescriptionEnd
InsetLayoutCharStyle:TechnicalDefinition
LyxType charstyle
LabelString techdefn
LatexType command
LatexName techdefn
Font
Family Sans
EndFont
Preamble
\newcommand*{\techdefn}[1]{{\sffamily{\mdseries #1}}}
EndPreamble
End
Thanks!
