There are still some grave bugs to tackle, but as of (end) January next year, we hope to come up with something (non final). Having said that, LyX is developed by a handful of volunteers, so shifts and delays are always to be expected. -- Jürgen -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Re: How to access the Date Field from Koma Letter in the (LaTeX) preamble.

How to access the Date Field from Koma Letter in the (LaTeX) preamble.
Hi, I have hacked me a Stamp in LaTeX which works very well in the Koma Letter (by way of putting it in LyX's preamble. The stamp gets placed next to the signature block, slightly randomly placed, then slightly randomly rotated and by way of some roation of the frame achieving a realistic look (smudged corners). I wrote an article about this in the German TeX Usergroup's Die Technische Kommödie 2/2017. I use the \ISOtoday ERT from Koma Script's scrdate package. I do not remember whether I have asked this before, and I have looked, but is there a way of using the date that Lyx uses in the blue Date: field? So that if I put a fixed date in the letter, the same should appear in the stamp (i.e. I do not want to have today's stamp on yesterday's letter :-)-O greetings, el PS: In case someone is interested, here is what I use in my Practice, copy and paste into the preamble: % You can do whatever you want with this, other than bothering us but % if you make money from it, you must send us some. % % Copyright, -wrong -left, and -center 2017, 2021 SPF Lisse Private % Family Foundation best...@spflisseff.nl %% LUA: Winkel des Gesamtstempels -- willk\"{u}rlich %% zwischen -5 und +5 Grad -- bei jedem Dokument anders \usepackage{luacode} \newcommand\rot{\directlua{tex.sprint(math.random(-5,5))}} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{xpatch} %% XCOLOR: Farbdefinitionen \definecolor{stampink}{RGB}{122 150 165} %% LATEX: Individuelle Definitionen f\"{u}r den Stempel %% (Formatierung Gr\"{o}{\ss}e und Schriftstil) %% \newcommand\myStampName{Dr Eberhard W Lisse} \newcommand\myStampProf{Obstetrician \& Gynecologist} \newcommand\myStampPO{PO Box 8421 Bachbrecht} \newcommand\myStampNo{016-000-0141135} \newcommand\myStampArrangement{% \setsansfont{Linux Biolinum O} \parbox{3cm}{% \centering\sffamily \footnotesize\myStampName\\ \tiny\myStampProf\\ \scriptsize\myStampPO\\ \myStampNo\\ \footnotesize\ISOToday } \setsansfont{IBM Plex Sans} } %% TIKZ: Laden notwendiger Styles \usetikzlibrary{fit} %% Erstellen eines Befehls f\"{u}r den Stempel in einer %% Gr\"{o}{\ss}e von 6 cm x 3 cm skaliert \newcommand\Stamper{% \resizebox{8cm}{3cm}{% \begin{tikzpicture} %%% %% %% TIKZ: Setzen der linken unteren und rechten oberen Ecke %% des Rechtecks \coordinate (dm1) at (0,0); \coordinate (dm2) at (2.6,1.4); %% %%% %% TIKZ: Schleife f\"{u}r drei Winkel %% \foreach \r in {-0.9,0,0.9}{% %% %% TIKZ: Rahmmen des Stempels: Rechteck, Farbe=stampink, %% Transparenz=0.4,Linienst\"{a}rke des Rahmens=1pt und einen %% Knoten namens (bx4) definieren %% \node[rectangle,draw,stampink,opacity=.4,line width=1.2pt, rotate=\r, rounded corners=1pt][fit=(dm1)(dm2)](bx4){}; %% %% TIKZ: Stempeltext: Farbe=stampink, gedreht um den Winkel \r %% mit Transparenz=0.4 in Knoten (bx4) gesetzt %% \node[stampink,rotate=\r,opacity=.4] at (bx4){\myStampArrangement}; } \end{tikzpicture} } } %% SCRLTTR2 & XPATCH: Erstellen einer neuen Variablen f\"{u}r den Brief %% zur Positionierung des Stempels rechts von \closing \newkomavar{rightbesidesignature} \newlength{\normalparskip} \xapptocmd{\closing}{% \setlength{\normalparskip}{\parskip}% \noindent\parbox[b][0pt]{\linewidth}{\raggedleft \setlength{\parskip}{\normalparskip}% \usekomavar{rightbesidesignature}\ifhmode\unskip\strut\fi \vspace{-1.8\baselineskip}% \vspace{\parskip}% \vspace{\lineskip}% }% }{}{} %% SCRLTTR2: Einf\"{u}gen des Stempels mit der jeweiligen willk\"{u}rlichen %% Gesamtdrehung \rot %% \setkomavar{rightbesidesignature}{\rotatebox[origin=c]{\rot}{\Stamper}} % % Thanks to Peter Flynn, Markus Kohm and Juergen Gilg -- To email me replace 'nospam' with 'el' -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Re: Show changes by date
Yes, the BBT settings in the Zotero preferences pane are provided by BBT, but that preferences pane is mostly a passive GUI. The Firefox base that Zotero builds on listens for changes in those fields and then changes the settings on behalf of Zotero/BBT. That path only gets triggered if the user makes changes in the GUI. There are a few other places where BBT actively writes to the settings, but none of those places write to the "asciiBibTeX" settings that is discussed here.

Re: Formatting name/date to be filled by others
Hi Rich, An alternative is to use a table. The labels (Name, Date, etc) are in cells that have no borders, and the other parts are in cells with borders on the bottom. Of course you have to play with widths of columns, but this approach is more form-like and it's easier to perceive (WYSIWYM) in LyX than ERTs that won't show till you view in PDF or whatever.

Great, that got rid of the warning message. Thank you! I don’t know enough to know whether "InPreamble 1” should default to "InTitle 1”, but it might be worth adding a note about this to the InPreamble item in the Customization document (which has been quite helpful in building my custom layout).

You need to define DocumentReference also as "InTitle 1". It might seem as if InPreamble should do this automatically, but there are cases where they come apart.

"Date intended for the title?
I'm getting the following LyX error when building my project [1] (which has a custom class and layout[2]), both when outputting PDF or when exporting to LaTeX (XeTeX), although the created LaTeX and PDF appear to be fine: You are using at least one layout (Date) intended for the title, after using non-title layouts. This could lead to missing or incorrect output. I've defined Date, Title, Author, Abstract, and DocumentReference (a custom command) in the layout as "InPremable 1" (our LaTeX class expects them to come before \begin{document}), but still get the above message. Any suggestions about what I might be doing wrong?

date format
In a document I'm writing, I would like to print the date of the last edit in the title page. I've discovered [Insert => Date], which looks like it might be what I want (does it update when I save the document again?), but the format is "07/16/14", which is a common format for North America (which is where I am), but I would prefer a different format, preferably "14 June 2014", or even the ISO standard "2014-07-14", but I can't figure out how to adjust this.

I would like lyx to prepend the current date to the output .pdf name. I think the cmd 'pdflatex $$i' is to adjusted. Thanks for your help. J.

Re: APA6 vs APA. APA6 includes month in the date e.g. (1999, June)
John, I'm not an expert on apa6, for sure. However, it seems to me that the behavior you are seeing is the exact behavior intended by the author of the apacite package. You can see the apacite manual for more on this http://mirror.utexas.edu/ctan/biblio/bibtex/contrib/apacite/apacite.pdf The author explains that the month field is not generally used with articles, but support is present because it is necessary to put month in for magazines, which is currently equivalent to article. A little bit of searching reveals that this issue has come up before. For example, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/74036/suppress-field-using-chicago-bibliography-style http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/65296/apacite-displays-month-in-references The solution suggested in the second link was to use apalike as opposed to apacite (leave the module the same, just select a different bibliography style). This seems to work, but I'm not sure what other differences it introduces. I hope this helps, Jacob
