That's correct, but we also managed to come somewhat back into swing
after many of us have been busy with other issues. 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.

Not a dev but development at the moment seems focused on porting 
bugfixes to an upcoming 2.3.7 release. I don't think there is a time 
estimate for 2.4 at the moment.

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

2021-09-28 Thread Dr Eberhard Lisse


Turned out to be really easy.

Looked into

/Applications/LyX.app//Contents/Resources/layouts/scrlttr2.layout

and see that it does something like


 Style Date
 CopyStyle Name
 LatexName setkomavar
 LatexParam{date}
 LabelString   "Date:"
 End

exported to LuaLaTeX and see that if I use a date in the LyX file it
exports to something like

 \setkomavar{date}{2021-09-01}

Quick look in TFM (scrguien.pdf) and it turns out I can just use

 \usekomavar{date}

in the stamp instead of \ISOToday as per the enclosed diff:

 *** bookoff.2021-09-28.lyx 2021-09-28 17:35:19.0 +0200

 - \begin_layout Date

 - \end_layout
 -
\begin_layout Signature
Dr Eberhard W Lisse
\end_layout
 --- 185,190 

If I don't, LyX (or rather Koma) sets up a default date (into the Koma
variable), which then also comes up on the stamp.

Complete files enclosed again.

the Phillies are almost still in it. And the Blue Jays :-)-O

Was the LCO in the same directory? And did you install the lipsum package?

But the stamp is more or less working, which is the main thing.

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

2021-09-23 Thread Dr Eberhard Lisse

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

The original problem was that I didn't know how to do what you mention

Indeed, it does make it smaller (script-size) ans raise it, i.e. set it 
in superscript.

Yes, you can solve the error by using textsuperscript. However, entering 
math mode seems superfluous then. And outside of math mode, you can just 
use the LyX functionality to achieve the same result as suggested below.

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.

Last release of BBT was 18 days ago, so if some update was a cause it
wasn't necessarily BBT.

If there's a problem in BBT, please report on the github issue tracker. I
currently can't think of a place in BBT that even could change settings --
not even the preferences pane. Those changes are managed by the base
platform that Zotero builds on.

Do you track the problematic file in version control (e.g., git)?  Is it
stored on an online service like Dropbox?  If not, I don't have a
suggestion, but either of those facilities should give some historical
perspective.

Thanks!

Yes, it might be worth trying to check whether a previous version of the
bib file fixes the problem. Sometimes Better BibTeX introduces problem.

As for the documents. Unfortunately there are quite a view documents
involved. Would you recommend downloading the previous version, accept
all changes in the document, and do a diff?

I am actually also using git. But I too rarely create commits. So, that
would be searching for the needle in the haystack, I guess. I need to
get a better commit routine, like once a day.

/Daniel


Yes, it is possible, but you have to write a script.
The change is recorded as a number (seconds from JAN 1 1970)
On unix it is easy to determine the value , say 1 day old:
$ date +%s --date=20200429
Here it gives 1588197600
Every number bigger than that in the lyx file markes the newer change.

Do you track the problematic file in version control (e.g., git)?  Is it
stored on an online service like Dropbox?  If not, I don't have a
suggestion, but either of those facilities should give some historical
perspective.

Thanks!

Yes, it might be worth trying to check whether a previous version of the
bib file fixes the problem. Sometimes Better BibTeX introduces problem.

As for the documents. Unfortunately there are quite a view documents
involved. Would you recommend downloading the previous version, accept
all changes in the document, and do a diff?

I am actually also using git. But I too rarely create commits. So, that
would be searching for the needle in the haystack, I guess. I need to
get a better commit routine, like once a day.

Show changes by date

2020-04-29 Thread Daniel

Hi,

I am hunting down some encoding error possibly to do with my 
bibliography which is created via Zotero and Better BibTeX. If I remove 
the bibliography from my document it works fine. I am unable to create a 
minimal example because I don't know which entry is causing the problem. 
Is there a way to show the tracked changes I made by date so I can go 
through all the changes I made today in order to find the problematic entry?


It is, unfortunately, urgent.

Kind regards,
Daniel

date is biblatex-specific*, while year is bibtex (biblatex also
understands year, but bibtex does not understand date).

You probably use some biblatex-mode in Jabref.

Jürgen

* date can take much more structured information than year, such as
month and day, date ranges, circa-specifiers, AC/BC-specifiers.

To follow up with the found reason: This one technical report's entry in
JabRef 5.1 has an 'optional fields' tab while other technical reports have
both that field and an 'other fields' tab. The Year is in the other fields

Paul,

The direct answer to your questrion is both yes and no.

For some reason that entry did not have a "year" field, only the "date"
field. Many entries have both fields, but this one lacked the "year." So I
added the year and now it shows up.

This may be a glitch in the JabRef 5.x snapshots. I don't recall which of

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.

Cheers,

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. Maybe "InPreamble 1" should by default imply "InTitle

I'm getting the following LyX error when building my project [1] (which has a

You are using at least one layout (Date) intended for the title, after using

I've defined Date, Title, Author, Abstract, and DocumentReference (a custom command) in

Any suggestions about what I might be doing wrong?

The format of the date is fully configurable through conversion specifiers in
Tools-Preferences-Output-General-Date format.
The default conversion spec is %x, which gives the locale's representation.
If you are on linux, you can access the conversion specifiers through
man strftime, otherwise you can read them online at
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/strftime.html

In your case, you want either %e %b %Y or %Y-%m-%d.

Hi Will, you can do this with Insert  File  External Material.
It is not intuitive at all (what does a data have to do with inserting
a file?), but it is done that way because it was easy to implement. In
the dialog, you don't have to choose a file. Just change Template to
Date. Note that the implementation of this is just a plain text
file, so if you want to modify it to your preferences, you don't need
to recompile LyX. Take a look at lib/external_templates and the
converter for date. See Help  Customization for more information.

Using LaTeX in ERT is another option and might be more robust in my opinion.

Thanks Jacob.

I see what you mean about the article = journal point in the apacite
manual.  I believe that there are some rare times one wants to insert a
month in an article date so this makes  sense.

The thing is that it does not work that way in  APA with apacite. I
don't get a month with it.  With APA6 I get the month.   Argh!



My guess is that the difference comes from apa.cls loading
\usepackage{apacite}

while apa6.cls loads
\usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}

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

Gian Maria,

have you tried  adding \date{} in the preamble of your master
document? That should work.

GMNB, there's a nice manual to ClassicThesis saying that you should 
remove the drafting option in classictheis-config.tex
