The author is output with the command, so one can redefine \lyxadded or
\lyxdeleted to do something with it. The default is just:

\DeclareRobustCommand{\lyxadded}[3]{{\color{lyxadded}{}#3}}

\DeclareRobustCommand{\lyxdeleted}[3]{{\color{lyxdeleted}\lyxsout{#3}}}

and the LaTeX looks like:

\lyxadded{Richard Kimberly Heck}{Sat May 30 19:14:07 2020}{this is a
change}

Hi Jerry,

Unfortunately, changes to the Identity in the Preferences work only 
after a restart of LyX. And the different colors for different 
identities you get in the work area this way, are not visible in the PDF 
output. I don't think different colors for different authors in the 
output are supported currently.

Re: sr-vorl.layout for Springer books > Was: Re: multiple authors: cite only 3

2019-04-20 Thread Wolfgang Engelmann
I have changed the subject, since it is a different topic. The multiple 
author question is easily solved with a biblatex setting. Therefore a 
svvorl.layout for writing a book for the Springer publisher set for 
biblatex would be the correct one for me. But I think I could manage 
that, if only one with bibtex is available


Wolfgang


I copied the last mail of Kornel to get it in the new thread

sr-vorl.layout for Springer books


Don't know about svvorl.layout. But I have a sr-vorl.layout here, maybe it is 
what you want.
It is built over the class sr-vorl.cls

Kornel

Yes, Kornel, thats the reason I posted another mail. Sorry for it, and
sr-vorl.layout is, what I need. I would appreciate, if you could send
it. If I get an answer from Springer, I will notify the Lyx User group.

Yours,

Wolfgang

File->New
Document->Settings...->Document class->Springer sr-vorl
Document->Settings...->Formats->Default output format->PDF (pdflatex)


With the above settings you should be able to edit a new template lyx file.

Kornel

Thanks for sending the layout file. I am afraid it takes a while until I manage 
to handle it.

-Checked the Springer publisher pages for a layout. There is svvorl.dtx

This is completely different question. You are asking for layout here, not

Hi

This is a feature of the spanish babel package you are using. If babel 
does this then I assume that daggers are not in use in spanish 
typography, so I would leave it that way. Or you could copy the original 
definition of @fnsymbol (see e.g. 
https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/78223/87201) into your preamble (maybe

You should use biblatex. It has the ability to do this. For my example,

maxbibnames=200,

natbib=true,

doi=false,

isbn=false,

eprint=false,

backref=false,

maxcitenames, mincitenames will have to be configured to get what you want
but those two options will allow what you need.

2014-09-26 Thread Benedict Holland
I would say that what could go wrong is your references might need to be
cleaned up. I know that was the huge shift for me. The major difference
(and in my opinion a terrible decision) is that biblatex assumed that your
bib file is valid latex code. That means that all reserved characters are
escaped. I work in economics so for me, the dollar sign was the big one. I
also found that there are a lot of configuration options. For me, this code
was the closest I closest I got to the default lyx.

BTW, biber should work well too. Both require additional work. For me,
biblatex was the choice I made but I am not saying it is the only choice.

The document explaining biblatex-lyx integration is here.
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex If you follow the steps carefully it
should not be problematic. This will require some careful tweaking on your
end though. It took me a very long time to get two or more authors to be
author 1 et. al. AND for the full list of authors to be listed in the
bibliogrophy. For you, Wolfgang, given the specific requirements I would
suggest biblatex. Getting it work will only help you in the long run but I
found the process to less ideal than I would have liked. It took me about
an hour or two to get everything working the way I wanted it to and most of
it was figuring out the usepackage options.

Wouldn't that change the default for every document using that particular
style though? If this is only for one journal, modification of style files
would not only be overkill, but would impact future work in unexpected
ways. To get the desired results, it would be best to limit it to document
specific changes. For that, configuring biblatex or biber or biblatex using
biber would be the much more prefered approach. A philosophy of don't
change more than you need to is demanded when using lyx and latex, at
least to me. That said, yes. Changing the format of how bibtex writes out
the references in the document would work but from a technical standpoint,
that does far more than just change the reference output for a single

Your concern is true only if one saves the modified file under the same 
name as the original and somewhere in the tex tree. Good practice 
dictates that if one modifies a style file, then a different name is 
also given to it, as I did. And one can decide whether to have this new 
style available in the tex tree or to keep it local, since it is 
sufficient to have it saved in the current document's directory.


I can understand that bibtex has deep issues which are only really 
addressed by moving on to a different system, but the concern you raise 
does not appear to me to be one of them.

Julien

You should use biblatex. It has the ability to do this. For my example,

\usepackage[

uniquename=false,

uniquelist=false,

maxcitenames=2,

mincitenames=1,

maxbibnames=200,

minbibnames=1,

natbib=true,

url=false,

doi=false,

isbn=false,

eprint=false,

backref=false,

backend=biber,

style=authoryear-comp,

maxcitenames, mincitenames will have to be configured to get what you want
but those two options will allow what you need.

A philosophy of don't change more than you need to is demanded when
using lyx and latex, at least to me. That said, yes. Changing the format

from a technical standpoint, that does far more than just change the
reference output for a single document so would best be avoided.

Your concern is true only if one saves the modified file under the same 
name as the original and somewhere in the tex tree. Good practice 
dictates that if one modifies a style file, then a different name is 
also given to it, as I did. And one can decide whether to have this new 
style available in the tex tree or to keep it local, since it is 
sufficient to have it saved in the current document's directory.


I can understand that bibtex has deep issues which are only really 
addressed by moving on to a different system, but the concern you raise 
does not appear to me to be one of them.

You should use biblatex. It has the ability to do this. For my example,

\usepackage[

uniquename=false,

uniquelist=false,

maxcitenames=2,

mincitenames=1,

maxbibnames=200,

minbibnames=1,

natbib=true,

url=false,

doi=false,

isbn=false,

eprint=false,

backref=false,

backend=biber,

style=authoryear-comp,

maxcitenames, mincitenames will have to be configured to get what you want
but those two options will allow what you need.

Biber/biblatex usually work well under lyx if you follow the instructions
in the wiki.
Or did you have a specific problem in mind?

Re: how to restrict cited authors to 3 in the Bibliography

2014-09-26 Thread Benedict Holland
I would say that what could go wrong is your references might need to be
cleaned up. I know that was the huge shift for me. The major difference
(and in my opinion a terrible decision) is that biblatex assumed that your
bib file is valid latex code. That means that all reserved characters are
escaped. I work in economics so for me, the dollar sign was the big one. I
also found that there are a lot of configuration options. For me, this code
was the closest I closest I got to the default lyx.

BTW, biber should work well too. Both require additional work. For me,
biblatex was the choice I made but I am not saying it is the only choice.

The document explaining biblatex-lyx integration is here.
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex If you follow the steps carefully it
should not be problematic. This will require some careful tweaking on your
end though. It took me a very long time to get two or more authors to be
author 1 et. al. AND for the full list of authors to be listed in the
bibliogrophy. For you, Wolfgang, given the specific requirements I would
suggest biblatex. Getting it work will only help you in the long run but I
found the process to less ideal than I would have liked. It took me about
an hour or two to get everything working the way I wanted it to and most of
it was figuring out the usepackage options.

To stick to bibtex, you would have to slightly modify the .bst style

Missing authors on export

2013-05-09 Thread Jelmer
Hey all,

I recently started using LyX, so I'm pretty new to this (even never used 
LaTeX before...) but I've got some weird problems with it.
I'm currently using LyX in combination with JabRef to write a report; when 
using LyX itself everything works fine; citations are working correctly 
(after finding a right apa.bst file to use) and a correct reference list is 
created on exporting the file.

However; citations in the text of the form (author, year), author (year), 
etc is not displayed correctly in the exported pdf: the author is missing; 
( , year) When trying on another computer (same LyX version) it works fine 
though. Also, when exporting to xhtml, the author is displayed. 

I've already tried many things. Using other *.bst files (some give weird 
errors I don't know how to solve), using other encoding/file formats for the 
library and the lyx file, reinstalling and of course Google-ing the problem. 
No success so far, so I hope you can help me.

If you need more info, please let me know.



Re: Missing authors on export

2013-05-09 Thread Jelmer
And, off course, just a few minutes later, I found the problem...

Apparently (indeed) the apa.bst file contained an error.

The fix was easy: I just removed the bst file, LyX downloaded another one 
from the internet since it automaticly downloads missing packages in my case. 
And then it was fixed. (Even though I wasn't able to use the annotation style 
before without using the apa.bst file.)

Glad you found the solution. It seems LyX should have notified you of
the error in the first place and passed on bibtex's reported errors. I
think this is due to the following bug:

 created on exporting the file.

 However; citations in the text of the form (author, year), author (year),

 ( , year) When trying on another computer (same LyX version) it works fine
 though. Also, when exporting to xhtml, the author is displayed.

 I've already tried many things. Using other *.bst files (some give weird
 errors I don't know how to solve), using other encoding/file formats for the
 library and the lyx file, reinstalling and of course Google-ing the problem.
 No success so far, so I hope you can help me.

 If you need more info, please let me know.

 Apparently (indeed) the apa.bst file contained an error.

 The fix was easy: I just removed the bst file, LyX downloaded another one
 from the internet since it automaticly downloads missing packages in my case.
 And then it was fixed. (Even though I wasn't able to use the annotation style
 before without using the apa.bst file.)

Glad you found the solution. It seems LyX should have notified you of
the error in the first place and passed on bibtex's reported errors. I
think this is due to the following bug:

Re: How to get two authors with centered institutions below on title page?

2011-12-13 Thread CP
What I'd do is enter an author's name in the Author environment, then use
 ctrl-Enter to keep the next line in the same environment. Enter the
 institution on that line new line. Then either space down (with the [Enter]
 key) and repeat or keep all lines together in the same environment with
 ctrl-Enter.
 
 Rich
 
 
Thanks Rich. My question wasn't very clear I realize. If I read your reply
correctly, it is a solution to having authors and their institutions appear one
below the other. I'm trying to have two authors names side by side on one line
and on another line underneath the names have their respective institutions
appear centered below their names. Does that make sense?
