Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure this will help, but I have a couple of LyX modules in 
GitHub repositories that might give you some ideas.


The simpler module is "pseudolst" (https://github.com/prubin73/pseudolst 
). It adds some pseudocode 
capabilities by tweaking the standard LyX "listing" environment, 
effectively adding a new language for listings.


The more complex module is "pseudocode" 
(https://github.com/prubin73/algpseudocode 
), which adds support for the 
algpseudocode style in the algorithmx LaTeX package. It provides new LyX 
paragraph styles for a gaggle of pseudocode commands. It could be that 
mimicking something like this but with one new style would be all you 
would need.


Both come with a LyX file containing instructions and demo code. To view 
the LyX files properly, you would need to install the required LaTeX 
package (listings.sty for the first, algorithmx for the second) if you 
don't already have it, install the module in your local modules 
directory, then reconfigure LyX. Before doing that, though, you might 
want to download the compiled versions of the documents (PDF files, one 
in each repo) and see if they resonate with you.

Re: how to use parselog flag

[Jean-Marc Lasgouttes]

Le 23/02/2020 à 05:26, Amra, Nasir a écrit :

Hello,
    I am trying to debug why a converter does not work in lyx 2.3.3 
(using miktex 2.9 on windows 7)  , but I am able to run the script in a 
windows command window (cmd.exe). How do I set parselog flag  in the 
converter and where would I find the log file? Is it just placing 
“parselog” in the flag option or “parselog=TRUE” or something else?

What I am trying to resolve is why the MS Word converter:
pandoc -s --filter pandoc-citeproc --csl vancouver-superscript.csl   -f 
latex -o $$o -t docx $$i
gives me a “ lyx – can not convert file” error message. Moreover, I am 
able to run the script above in a windows command line (cmd.exe) 
successfully.  Any help would be much appreciated.


As far as I remember, parselog is used for converters which return 
errors with line numbers (chktex or  literate programming) this 
transforms these logs in a form that LyX can read).


In your case the best bet is to read the Message Pane. Aren't there 
enough error messages there?

Maybe you will get helpful output if when you start LyX on the command
line you use "-dbg". For example:

  lyx -dbg any

should give a lot of output. Perhaps there's a better flag to choose.

Best,

First, you're using the package wrong. In theory, you should just add the 
\usepackage command in the preamble, give it any package options you want 
related to the formatting of the abstract title etc., and then add the abstract 
in the usual way (using the Abstract environment, no raw LaTeX required). In 
particular, your typing the \maketitle command in ERT creates the duplication 
you observed.

I first tried adding the package to the preamble and got to messing around with 
the LaTeX and ERT trying to fix problems.

That said, it's a PITA to get the abstract package to work with LyX. I'm 
attaching two small examples. abstract2.lyx uses the abstract package. I did 
not specify any options to it. The keys were (1) to define the title in the 
preamble and not use the Title environment, which lets you get away with 
specifying the \maketitle command manually, and (2) to stick a forced end of 
line at the end of the abstract, to prevent it from butting up against the 
first section.

The other attached file, abstract.lyx, accomplishes the same thing without using the 
abstract package. IMO it's easier, but may be less desirable if you need to customize

I'm not sure there is a way to fix the second of your modified files. 
Even without an author footnote, the abstract is on a separate page from 
the author. For your first version, I think I was able to hack it to do 
what you want. The key was to load the abstract package, even though you 
won't be using it for the abstract, because it supplies a command named 
"\saythanks". Sticking that command in ERT after the \twocolumn[] 
command seems to work. I suppose you could look in the abstract package 
source code, find the definition of \saythanks, and put that directly in

Rich,

I've never had any problems with abstracts, using the standard Abstract 
environment and no additional package (same as you). The LaTeX Abstract 
package is apparently supposed to simplify creating centered, page-wide 
abstracts in papers that use a two column layout. I assume that's why 
Jerry, the OP, was loading it. At least when used with LyX, the 
"simplify" part seems to be in doubt. :-)


As far as using the \multicols command, to each his own. It's been a 
while since I wrote something in two column format, and I think the last 
time I did it used a journal-specific LaTeX class that dealt with the 
two-column stuff (and the layout of the abstract). Jerry might want to 
look at \multicols{} (which I seem to vaguely recall using in the past), 
but I sent him a couple of MWE (one with the Abstract package, one 
without), and it sounds like that'll get him over the hump for now.

Thanks a lot, Paul. I was able eventually to get a reasonable result but then I 
wasn’t able to duplicate it on a new document. Both of your examples give good 
results for my purposes. (Curious about the differing vertical space after the 
section title, “The Text,” but that’s not concerning me right now.) I’m 
planning another writing project in a few days which will give me a chance to 
try your methods. Thanks again.

Just type them, exactly like that. In the former case, LyX has support,

Aligned is present in lyx. They must be treated like array, e.g. you 
insert them with \aligned in a math inset. This is what I would 
recommend for your problem.

You can try putting a parbox in a table cell and putting the align

the table, then set the parbox width to match. Here is a small example:

 There seems to be some pure latex solutions, i.e., using

Aligned is present in lyx. They must be treated like array, e.g. you 
insert them with \aligned in a math inset. This is what I would 
recommend for your problem.

 Hello:

 It depends on the bibliography software you use.

 You can use bibtex, bibtex8 and biblatex.

 If you choose bibtex (that is my preference) you have to replace all
 special characters in your database to latex codes, eg. a\' for á, a\ for
 ä,
 \beta for Greek beta etc. In reality it is not necessary to replace all
 special characters,
 only those that will be included in the output. For example if you have
 abstracts in
 your database, and the abstracts won't be included in the bibliography,
 you don't have
 to replace special characters in the abstracts. The same applies to other
 fields.

 There are programs and scripts that can convert special characters in a
 file to
 latex code. Jabref bibliography manager also has such option.

 Bibtex8: I don't know how it works, I never used it.

 Biblatex supports utf8 and special characters.
 I found biblatex too complex. For me it's major disadvantage that I can not
 make a custom bibliography style file according to my liking (or need).
 The number of options for manipulating output is increasing but still you
 don't
 have a full control. For that one has to make a custom style file, but is
 is not
 easy, since biblatex scripting language is very complex.

 On the other hand making bibtex compatible style files with the help of the
 so called custom-bib program (makebst script) is much easier. These style
 files
 can be used with the natbib package. With a few exception you can make any
 type
 style file.

 Whichever you choose you will have to read the user manual for that
 package,
 that is, you have to spend some time to learn how to use it.

Re: How to use symbol and germany characters in bibliography

[John Kane]

Not sure but this link may give you some ideas about how to approach the 
problem.

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/77603

The major problem is that bibtex is fairly old and was created when ASCII 
symbols were basically what was used.

I think the biblatex solution is the best but I still use bibtex so I am not 
sure.

I actually switched to biblatex precisely for that problem. I was getting

worked very well so far (a few years now).

I actually switched to biblatex precisely for that problem. I was getting
tired of having to enter special latex code in bibliographies. It has
worked very well so far (a few years now).

Cheers,

Hello:

It depends on the bibliography software you use.

You can use bibtex, bibtex8 and biblatex.

If you choose bibtex (that is my preference) you have to replace all
special characters in your database to latex codes, eg. a\' for á, a\" for ä,
\beta for Greek beta etc. In reality it is not necessary to replace all special 
characters,
only those that will be included in the output. For example if you have 
abstracts in
your database, and the abstracts won't be included in the bibliography, you 
don't have
to replace special characters in the abstracts. The same applies to other 
fields.

There are programs and scripts that can convert special characters in a file to
latex code. Jabref bibliography manager also has such option.

Bibtex8: I don't know how it works, I never used it.

Biblatex supports utf8 and special characters.
I found biblatex too complex. For me it's major disadvantage that I can not
make a custom bibliography style file according to my liking (or need).
The number of options for manipulating output is increasing but still you don't
have a full control. For that one has to make a custom style file, but is is not
easy, since biblatex "scripting language" is very complex.

On the other hand making bibtex compatible style files with the help of the
so called custom-bib program (makebst script) is much easier. These style files
can be used with the natbib package. With a few exception you can make any type
style file.

Whichever you choose you will have to read the user manual for that package,
that is, you have to spend some time to learn how to use it.

Re: How to use biblatex-dw with biber or biblatex or bilatex8 in LyX…

[jezZiFeR]

Dear Stefano,

thank you so much for your thorough answer, which really helped me. All of the 
procedures you described to test my TeX-installation worked fine, and for me it 
is LyX, which is not working correctly. As I also have had several other 
problems witch my computer and with its permissions I am now looking for that. 
It could be, that LyX does not have the permissions to change its settings.

I think this will take a little time now, I just wanted to let you know, that 
your instructions were very helpful, and that I could use LyX hopefully soon 
again.

Best
Jess

 Hi Jess,
 
 what I am suggesting is that you try to issue the latex commands directly 
 (instead of lyx doing it for you in the background). That way you could see 
 if latex (and biber) are behaving properly, which would mean your problem is 
 with lyx. This is what you do.
 
 1. Open a terminal window. You will see a prompt, something ending with a $ 
 sign. From here on I will indicate the commands you need to enter by putting 
 them on a single line, preceded by the $ character. You need to type what 
 follows the $.
 
 2. change directory to the Desktop folder. You would type
 
$cd ~/Desktop 
 
 (or the German equivalent, I'm not sure if the Mac translates the directory 
 names. I doubt it, though)
 
 
 3. Check that both the .tex file and the .bib file are present in the 
 directory:
 
$ ls Minimal-Example-neu.tex
 
   $ ls Diss3.bib
 
 In both cases you shoudl get back the name of the file(s). If they are not 
 present, you'll get an error message. In that case, go back to the finder and 
 moves the files to the desktop. Repeat step 3 until you are sure the files 
 are there (no error messages)
 
 4. compile the tex file with lualatex (this is latex with the lua backend, 
 which is what you had selected in your lyx file):
 
$lualatex Minimal-Example-neu.tex
 
 If compilation works (as it should), you should see a lot of text being 
 spitted out on the terminal. At the end, on the last line, it should say:
 
 Output written on Minimal-Example-neu.pdf
 
 If not, then you have a problem with your tex installation. Stop here 
 
 5. Go to the Desktop in the Finder. Open Minimal-Example-neu.pdf in preview 
 or other pdf reader. You should see your example nicely typeset, but with no 
 references yet. It will show the ref keys in bold. This is as it should be, 
 you haven't run your bib processor yet (biber). You'll do that next
 
 6. Go back to the terminal. Check again that you are in the right directory:
 
 $pwd
 
 This means present working directory. It should reply that you are in 
 /Users/Your-user-name/Desktop. If not, repeated step 2 above
 
 7. Run biber. You do that with the command:
 
 biber Minimal-Example-neu
 
 (notice that you don't type the .tex suffix this time)
 
 Biber should run, read your bib file and analyze your references. It will 
 spit out a few lines to the terminal. Each line will begin with either INFO 
 or WARNING or ERROR You should only have INFO and WARNING lines. The 
 next to last line should tell you that Minimal-Example-neu.bbl has been 
 created. Here is the complete output when I run manually biber on your file:
 
 INFO - This is Biber 1.5
 INFO - Logfile is 'Minimal-Example-neu.blg'
 INFO - Reading 'Minimal-Example-neu.bcf'
 INFO - Found 4 citekeys in bib section 0
 INFO - Processing section 0
 INFO - Looking for bibtex format file '/home/stefano/Desktop/Diss3.bib' for

 INFO - No sort tailoring available for locale 'en_US.UTF-8'
 INFO - Writing 'Minimal-Example-neu.bbl' with encoding 'UTF-8'
 INFO - Output to Minimal-Example-neu.bbl
 INFO - WARNINGS: 1
 
 You have a warning, because your bib file is missing a reference. But 
 everything else is fine. If this is not what you get---and especially if you 
 get ERROR lines---stop here and report back. Otherwise you're almost done.
 
 8. Run lualatex again as in step 4 above. Twice. That is, go back to step 4, 
 run lualatex, and then do it again.
 
 9. Check your pdf file as you did in step 5 above. You should now be able to 
 see your references. 
 
 
 Now, if

Hi Jess,it is always better to reply to the whole list---more people will be able to help. Your file works here. Here is what I did:- I had to change the \addbibresource line to make it point to where I had downloaded your .bib file. 
- I changed the bibliography to "default" instead of natbib because I do not have the biblatrex module here on my laptop.- Finally, I commented out the line \bibliography in your preamble---you don't need that with biblatex.
My guess is still that your problem is (or hopefully was) with the \addbibresource line. Let me know if it compiles with the correct refes on your machine. I enclose below both the pdf and the lyx file. Notice that that pdf has a missing reference for LeWitt199:uk But that's how it should be because there is no such key in your Diss3.bib file.

Hi Jess,


your new file works fine here as soon as I change the path in
\addbibresource to /home/stefano/Desktop/Diss3.bib


You could take a look at  the LaTeX and biber  logs and check  what they
are telling you. Somehow biber is not finding your bib file, it seems to
me. A capitalization error, perhaps? I think you are on a Mac. If you open
the terminal and type

ls  /Users/ZZZ/Schreibtisch/Diss3.bib

do you get the exact path back?

Dear list, dear Stefano,thanks again. Well, first I tried to check via the terminal wether I get the exact path back, which I did (even though I had to change from the german »Schreibtisch« to »Desktop« again – which was just one of the last tries I did before).After that I checked, wether biber is active in the preferences. In fact, biber was not, it was biblatex which was acive, so I tried to change that. Every time I did LyX crashed with an error – I add the screenshot. But even worse: for I wanted to have the screenshot in english language, I also tried to change the language of LyX, and again it crashed. I seems that I could not do any changes in the preferences without generating errors. I tried several things. Sometimes LyX did not crash, but it also did not save the changes.So it seems I have a problem with LyX – does anybody know what I could do in this case?ThanksJessAm 09.03.2013 um 15:52 schrieb stefano franchi:On Sat, Mar 9, 2013 at 4:22 AM, jezZiFeR jezzi...@gmail.com wrote:

Well, one thing I could think of is that you have spaces in your filename.
Lyx can deal with them, but latex definitely does not like them. in my
experience.  So first of all I would rename the file Minimal-Example-neu.lyx

Then, just to be sure your problem is with lyx and not
biblatex/latex/biber, I would try the following:

1. From lyx, export the file to latex format (FileExportlatex(luaTex)

2. Open a terminal, move to the Desktop folder

Re: How to use biblatex-dw with biber or biblatex or bilatex8 in LyX…

[jezZiFeR]

Dear Stefano,

I am sorry, I do not exactly understand what to do. I changed the name of my 
file to avoid spaces in it, and I also exported to LaTeX-format, as you wrote.

I could also open terminal, but I do not understand what to do then. What 
exactly should I do on the desktop folder? There is the file, but I do not know 
what to do with it, and I do not know how to compile manually.

I also do not know how to run biber. Do I not need to exchange my settings then 
first? This is when LyX crashes all the times…

Hope you could help, thank you so much!
Jess

Hi Jess,it is always better to reply to the whole list---more people will be able to help. Your file works here. Here is what I did:- I had to change the \addbibresource line to make it point to where I had downloaded your .bib file.

My guess is still that your problem is (or hopefully was) with the \addbibresource line. Let me know if it compiles with the correct refes on your machine. I enclose below both the pdf and the lyx file. Notice that that pdf has a missing reference for LeWitt199:uk But that's how it should be because there is no such key in your Diss3.bib file.

Hi Jess,


your new file works fine here as soon as I change the path in
\addbibresource to /home/stefano/Desktop/Diss3.bib


You could take a look at  the LaTeX and biber  logs and check  what they
are telling you. Somehow biber is not finding your bib file, it seems to
me. A capitalization error, perhaps? I think you are on a Mac. If you open
the terminal and type

ls  /Users/ZZZ/Schreibtisch/Diss3.bib

do you get the exact path back?

Jess,

From your description it seems that biber or bibtex (depending which
processor you you choose in Documentsettingsbibliography) are not
finding your .bib file. This is typically the reason for your output
showing the bibtex keys (in bold) instead of the references.

Also, did you tell biblatex where to look for your bib file? You need a
line like the following in your preamble:

\addbibresource{/absolute/path/to/my/bibfile.bib}

Notice that the .bib extension IS REQUIRED

Could you post a minimal example, if the above does not work?

 Hi. Hunspell is not able to handle my language so I would like to use Enchant

Hi, what's your language? Finnish? Is it really that bad with Hunspell?

 The Lyx-wiki says the following: 
 
 Beginning with 2.0 support for the aspell command line program has been 
 dropped. Although the aspell library (aspell 
 0.60.x) is still supported, Windows binaries are compiled without this 
 feature. Windows users should thus use either Hunspell or Enchant.
 
 Ok, but the only spellchecking engine available in Lyx preferences is 
 Hunspell. How do I make Enchant available?

I don't think you can add Enchant support without making your own LyX setup.
You have to build LyX yourself or you have to change the OS and switch to Linux.
Perhaps you can ask the windows maintainers to create the windows package with 
Enchant support included.

 I suppose I have to install 
 
 enchant-1.6.0.tar.gz (available from 
 http://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/#download)? Does anyone know 
 whether after that I must also reinstall Lyx?
 I use Windows Vista 32-bit.

In case LyX is build without support for Enchant you cannot add this with 
installing Enchant and reinstalling LyX.

 Ok, but the only spellchecking engine available in Lyx preferences is 
 Hunspell. How do I make Enchant available?

I don't think you can add Enchant support without making your own LyX setup.
You have to build LyX yourself or you have to change the OS and switch to Linux.
Perhaps you can ask the windows maintainers to create the windows package with 
Enchant support included.

 I suppose I have to install 
 
 enchant-1.6.0.tar.gz (available from 
 http://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/#download)? Does anyone know 
 whether after that I must also reinstall Lyx?
 I use Windows Vista 32-bit.

In case LyX is build without support for Enchant you cannot add this with 
installing Enchant and reinstalling LyX.

Hi, what's your language? Finnish? Is it really that bad with Hunspell?

 When I compile the Lyx file into a pdf

 I use biblatex routinely with LyX and it works well. I follow the

 The problem you are seeing seem to indicate that biblatex (or its

Solution: Give the full path to your .bib file, even if its in the same
directory as the .lyx file.

(I had the .bib file in the same directory as the .lyx file and assumed
that you do not have to give a full path, but actually you have to. I
also had tried with another another .bib file from the local tex tree,
which did not work because of syntax problems in the .bib file)

 1. [I don't know if this is possible in Windows.] Launching Lyx from a

 when you compile the file (i.e. when you hit ViewView Pdf)

In Windows there is a menu command View  View Messages, which then
displays the console output.

This helped me to diagnose the problem and find the solution above.

Right, that's necessary. I guess this is because  Lyx exports the

RE: How to use short dashes in program listings?

[Helge Hafting]

I don't understand why the minus sign - isn't properly converted by latex.
Is there a way to correct this without escaping to latex, as you suggested?

This does not happen with program listings when I try.
The -- construct becomes a long dash only in plain text, not in listings.

There are several ways of writing program code in LyX:

* Listings inset:

Insert-Program Listing
You get a box where you can write program code, where minus signs will
be left alone. Even when there are several in a row. Right-click the
box to get settings where you can change the font and even turn on advanced 
features
like syntax highlighting for the programming language you use.

* Using the program source files directly:

Insert-File-Child document Set include type to program listing
Basically the same setup as the above mentioned inset, but it refers
directly to the source file. So docs and source never get out of sync,
because they are the same! You can specify from/to lines, if
you don't want to print the entire source file.

* Using the paragraph type LyX code. 
This is more limited, you get the typewriter font and
no options for syntax highlightling. 

* Using the text style code, provided by the logical markup module
This one seems to merge minus signs, so try the listings inset instead.
May be useful for code in languages that doesn't have --.

This one seems to merge minus signs, so try the listings inset instead.
May be useful for code in languages that doesn't have "--".

Re: How to use short dashes in program listings?

[Rodrigo Fresneda]

Hi,

I don't understand why the minus sign - isn't properly converted by latex.
Is there a way to correct this without escaping to latex, as you suggested?

best regards,
rodrigo.

 The only way I know is a PITA.  Pick an escape character you will not use
 in the
 listing (I'll use a tilde for explanatory purposes).  Right click the
 listing,
 select Settings, and in the Advanced tab type 'escapechar=~' (without the
 quotes) and apply the change. Now whenever you want the decrement operator
 in
 the listing, type '~-\,-\,~' (without the quotes).  The \, is a thin space;
 you
 can play around with alternative spacing if you like.

 Hello lyx users:

 I wanted to use lyx spell checker for Hungarian language but I could not find 
 out how to do it.

 I have lyx 2.0.0 compiled on my system.
 On my system hunspell-devel and aspell-devel files are also installed, and 
 lyx
 took this into account at build.

 I can set Spellchecker engine in lyx preferences either to aspell or to 
 hunspell.

 When aspell is selected in preferences:
 If I create a document and set its language to Hungarian in document 
 settings, the spell checker does not use a Hungarian dictionary. If I press 
 F7 the spell checker stop at the first Hungarian word and the language in the 
 spell checker is set to English. How can I change the selected dictionary to 
 Hungarian permanently?
 aspell-hu is installed.

With Aspell, try this [1], and let us know if it works.

In the modernCV document you put the image file in the preamble, which 
to me is the same as using ERT. So you seem to suggest that there is no 
way to use the includegraphics GUI, which offers many advantages, to 
specify alternate versions of an image. Yo suggest instead that I should 
use ERT. That's fine and it will work, using either .eps or .pdf where 
needed.


The other option is using branches, as Jürgen suggested. That also works 
of course, and would be great if there was a notion of output-specific 
branches, which get automatically activated and deactivated according to 
output.

Julien

No, this is because modernCV requires the image in its preamble.

No, but now I understand the problematic. LyX cannot show a preview if you omit the file extension. 
Fixing this is very difficult and I don't think such a feature is safe for all cases.


So indeed, use in this case TeX-code or branches.

Hi Jürgen,

Thanks, however when I use the pdf version in LyX, with the file name 
mangling that happens in the temp dir, and LyX issuing a pdf-eps 
convertion, the resulting eps used in the DVI is not the one I provide.


Right now I use

\usepackage{graphicx}

in the preamble and

\includegraphics{filename}

in ERT and this is a satisfactory workaround.
