Matin,

Could you give us a minimal demo file, so that we can play with it? Do 
you use luatex like Tobias described?

I observe the very same with math insets when the preselected output is
with *PDF (luatex)*, but not with pdflatex or xetex. To reproduce, open
a document, document > settings > output > preselected output
PDF(luatex), insert some text and math, close document and open again.
Previews takes up huge space and make work uncomfortable. Remedy /
workaround: Choose output xetex or pdflatex. This is with LyX 2.3.7 and
2.4.0~RC4 on Ubuntu 22.04.4 with 

lualatex --version
This is LuaHBTeX, Version 1.18.0 (TeX Live 2024)

preview of ert environment inside a table cell has weird bounds

[matan guedj]

In using the latest version of LyX (2.3.7) when I insert an ERT environment
inside a preview, and all of that inside a table cell the output on the lyx
file takes a huge part of the page-length preview of the ERT inside LyX file
<https://i.sstatic.net/6H3KbJ6B.png> (I can't fit it all in the screen)

the code inside ERT environment <https://i.sstatic.net/2YZxulM6.png>

but the compiled file actually handles it correctly as you can see in the
pic here the compiled output <https://i.sstatic.net/4axuAKZL.png>

is there a way to ensure that the preview inside the lyx document itself
will also be bounded to a certain size. just for ease of readability inside
the LyX document itself.

thanks in advance.

I suggest using keyboard mapping, I think this is disabled inside math insets.
Go to Tools->Preferences->Editing->Keyboard/Mouse, check the
"use keyboard map" box, then write in the primary field null, and in the
secondary field hebrew.

Now when you write outside of math insets it should be in Hebrew,
even if your keyboard is in english (so you won't have to switch).

But how will you be able to write in english? as Riki suggested, create
a shortcut to switch between the languages. To do so, go to
Tools->Preferences->Editing->Shortcuts, press on New, in the Function
field write (without the quotation marks) "language hebrew", and in the
shortcut field, well, press the keys you want for the short cut.

I've found a pragmatic solution ... which has its own question.

I can mark cited regulations as unnumbered sections, subsections,
subsubsections, paragraphs, and subparagraphs. See mwe.pdf attached.

My question is whether I can indent the subsubparagraphs (a. through
whatever). The regulation is formatted that way and some agency staff insist
that submitted reports be formatted the same way. If there's not a way to
indent these sections and their compliance responses I'll go with what I
have and see what happens.

Two body text type environment

[Rich Shepard]

I use the KOMA-Script classes. For regulatory compliance reports I need to
include each specific regulatory requirement followed by how the project
complies with it. I want the two sections to appear differently, perhaps the
regulatory requirement in an emphasized font and the compliance section in a
Roman font.

I've not found a package that allows me to do this. So far I'll set the
whole body text in the Standard environment, then change one section
(each piece separately) using Edit -> Type style -> Customized. It's a
rather inefficient PITA.

Is there a way to do this using a package that adds another environment to
the top-level set that includes Standard, Quotation, Quote, etc.? Or is
there a better way to do this?

Custom environment with overset labels and cross-references

[Riccardo]

Dear all,
I'm trying to implement a module to allow labelling as oversets in
equations.
I have managed to use effectively the solution proposed here:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/40216/113780

And here is the result:
[image: image.png]

However it conceptually reverses labelling and referencing (see the
preamble and body in the attached LyX file).

Therefore I have two questions?
1. Does anyone know of a cleaner solution? It doesn't need to be compatible
with the amsmath package, but I wish it could be.
2. Is there any "getting started" page to write custom modules for LyX
(other than plain LateX code)? Even if the behaviour is reversed, I would
at least try to make it appear as if it is not. Any suggestion would be
appreciated.

Best regards,
Riccardo

I mean that I have committed a fix to the LyX development repository
(what will become LyX 2.4.0). The fix might also be backported to the
next LyX 2.3 version, but this is not yet decided.

English environment is changed to textenglish

[tush via lyx-users]

Please consider the two lyx files attached.
It is a MWE of a book that includes mainly Hebrew but also some English.

The wrong thing here is that the last line is converted in LyX (via the Code 
Preview Pane) as
\begin{english}
Some text in English. This should be left aligned.
\end{english}

but when exporting `main.lyx` to tex (via XeTeX), this English sentence is 
formatted as

\textenglish[variant=american]{Some text in English. This should be left 
aligned.}

which causes the line to be right aligned.

Why is it? How to keep the English line of text to be inside an English 
environment?<>

Thanks for your help!

Guofeng

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 
<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 
<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.

How to use the environment defined by \lstnewenvironment in LyX

[Guofeng Zhang]

Hi,

I have created the new listing environment and use it in LyX by Tex Code
well.Is there any way that I could configure LyX (for example,  LyX's
Programming Listings) to use this listing environment?

Searched by google, but no way to go , so I tried to create a LyX inset to
use it. So another question: can I define an inset that always has full
line width in the editor?

Thanks for your help!

Change spacing between aligned environment rows

[Sanford Shieh]

Using the aligned environment in LyX, is there a way of changing the spacing 
between rows by using, e.g., \\[2mm]? For example, can one, 
without ERT, have this:

\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
& \text{The fact that the entity whose name is to the \emph{right of} ‘\emph{is 
loved by}’}\\[-2mm]
& \text{loves the entity whose name is on the \emph{left of} ‘\emph{is loved 
by}’}
\end{aligned} \label{eq:m(y)-l2-m(x)}
\end{equation}

SV: I need an environment similar to, but not identical to LyX-Code

LyX-code is defined in  /usr/share/lyx/layouts/lyxmacros.inc  (OSes other than 
Linux may use a different folder)

In this file, you find both the LyX layout specification, and the LaTeX code:


Style LyX-Code
Category  MainText
MarginStatic
LatexType Environment
LatexName lyxcode
NextNoIndent  1
LeftMarginMMM
RightMargin   MMM
TopSep0.5
BottomSep 0.5
Align Left
AlignPossible Block, Left, Right, Center
LabelType No_Label
FreeSpacing   1
Preamble
\newenvironment{lyxcode}
{\par\begin{list}{}{
\setlength{\rightmargin}{\leftmargin}
\setlength{\listparindent}{0pt}% needed for AMS 
classes
\raggedright
\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}
\setlength{\parsep}{0pt}
\normalfont\ttfamily}%
 \item[]}
{\end{list}}
EndPreamble
Font
  Family  Typewriter
EndFont
End

LyX-Code is set using the LaTeX environment lyxcode, which is defined inside 
the style itself.



I happen to have a custom layout with with what you request; Code with smaller 
text and regular margins. The style looks like this:


Style Code-small
  CopyStyle LyX-Code
  LatexType Environment
  LatexName codesmall
  LeftMargin ""
  RightMargin ""
  Font
Size Scriptsize
Family Typewriter
  EndFont
  Spellcheck 0

 \raggedright
 \setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}
 \setlength{\parsep}{0pt}
 \normalfont\ttfamily}%
 \item[]}
 {\end{list}\end{scriptsize}}
  EndPreamble
End

Feel free to adapt it to your needs.Perhaps you want another size instead of 
Scriptsize.

Emne: I need an environment similar to, but not identical to LyX-Code

I need an environment similar to, but not identical to the LyX-Code
environment. Specifically, I need the page margins to be the same as
regular text, and I'd also like a smaller font.

So I figured I'd find the LaTeX definition of LyX-Code and work from
there, possibly using CopyStyle. But I've searched for 1/2 hour and
cannot find the TeX definition of the latexname part of LyX-Code, nor
can I find the LyX user interface part of LyX-Code.

So where can I find the definition of LyX-Code?

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

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.

There's a long-standing request for non-math macros, which is exactly
what's needed here. Someday when I have time to work on LyX again, I
might take that on.

My workaround is as follows:

I changed the [0] number of arguments in the LaTeX command to [1] in
order to consume the argument. Once I did that, whatever I put in the
character style does not show up in the PDF.

Next, I changed the LyX label font size from Larger to Small, so it
wouldn't take up as much line length. Finally, I put a bunch of z
characters in the inset, so the inset and the label would be
approximately the same length. What this accomplished is that the title
actually looks reasonable in a line in the LyX authoring environment,
and the correct title shows up in the PDF.

Several of you had excellent ideas, including ERT LaTeX command, a Perl
script, and some other ideas. Thanks for the great ideas. Ultimately, I
decided that my workaround best meets my workflow needs for this
project.

Thanks,

SteveT

This is not an answer to your question, but possibly something
simpler.  If you load the 'titling' package in the document preamble,
you can put anything you want in the document's title environment and
then just use \thetitle (or maybe \thetitle{}) in ERT any place you
want to repeat the title.  If you get the hots for a new title later,
you just have to change it in the title environment.  This doesn't
deal directly with the funky formatting of the title, but it does
eliminate the search-and-replace aspect.

This is not an answer to your question, but I use stuff like $$SURNAME$$
in a number of my LyX templates and then something like

$Surname = 'Doe';
s/\$\$SURNAME\$\$/$Surname/g';

in my Perl script to fill in the variables :-)-O

Steve, does adding

Decoration  minimalistic

after CharStyle CharTitleInBody help? Or

Decoration  classic

if you prefer? Your current style uses the CharStyle default decoration  
called conglomerate.

cannot find the TeX definition of the latexname part of LyX-Code, nor
can I find the LyX user interface part of LyX-Code.

So where can I find the definition of LyX-Code?

Steve,

Create a file with one line of whatever in a LyX-Code environment. Turn 
on View > Code Preview Pane, and in the preview pane use an appropriate 
format (such as pdflatex) and set the drop down for what to show to 
Preamble Only. You'll find the \newenvironment{lyxcode}{...} stuff in 
the preview pane (after a little scrolling).

I need an environment similar to, but not identical to LyX-Code

[Steve Litt]

I need an environment similar to, but not identical to the LyX-Code
environment. Specifically, I need the page margins to be the same as
regular text, and I'd also like a smaller font.

So I figured I'd find the LaTeX definition of LyX-Code and work from
there, possibly using CopyStyle. But I've searched for 1/2 hour and

Dear LyX users,

I would like to add this environment to the drop down list in the menu.

I know I have to edit a .layout file, but I am unsure as to what to do.


If this is just for one document, you can enter the necessary layout 
code under Document> Settings> Local Layout.


Something like this should work:

Format 66

Counter YourTurn
    Within Section
End

Style YourTurn
    LaTeXType Environment
    LaTeXName YourTurn
    LabelType Static
    LabelCounter YourTurn
    LabelString "Your Turn \theYourTurn"
    \newcounter{YourTurn}[section]
    Preamble
     \newcounter{YourTurn}[section]
\newenvironment{YourTurn}[1][]{\refstepcounter{YourTurn}\par\medskip
     \noindent \color{green}\textbf{Your Turn ~\theYourTurn. #1} 
\rmfamily\color{black}}{\medskip}

    EndPremable
End

That is pretty basic but should get you started.

The preamble code specified is just copied from yours: LyX will 
automatically insert it, so you now don't need it in your regular 
premable. The advantage is that LyX will insert it *only* if you use 
this environment.


See the Customization manual, section 5.2, for more details. Better yet, 
look at some of the modules and layout files that ship with LyX. The 
best say to understand the syntax is to see it in action.


If you might want to re-use this, you can put it into a module and put 
the module into the layouts/ folder of your user directory. You'll then 
need to reconfigure for it to show up. Modules also need a header, like:


#\DeclareLyXModule{Formula}
#DescriptionBegin
#An environment for numbered formulas.
#DescriptionEnd

Re: picture environment

[Joe Babb]

Thanks for all the recommendations.  For what I want to do at this time,
which is very simple, I think the picture environment will work okay.
I tried the diagrams.net and it was very simple to draw my block diagram,
but when saved as pdf it did not want to import into Lyx.  I saved it as
svg and
looked at in my my Rhino3D drawing program and found it to be huge and had
to scale it way way down.  I think that eventually I'll want to try
Tikz/pgf and I looked into it and realize that there is a learning curve.
So I'll stick with simple for now.  In fact, I think I'm going to go back
to plain old Latex that I used several years ago.  I feel like I can know
what's going on better.
Incidentally, I don't have a good understanding of how this group works so
I hope I'm responding in a good way.  My apologies if not.  I seem to be
getting messages about other issues that I'm not interested in also.
Joe

Normally, you can insert any LaTeX code (including picture environment) 
using Ctrl-L  or Insert -> TeX Code. This is called "ERT" in LyX AFAIK.


Since you want to write your code for graphics, I would recommend 
Tikz/pgf for general sketches, instead of the old-school picture 
environment. Of course, Some other WYSIWYG tools maybe more faster to 
generate some specific graphics (e.g. the type of diagrams you want in 
your document) without LaTeX coding, but I find Tikz quite powerful to 
invest in.


CTAN says "PGF is a macro package for creating graphics. It is platform- 
and format-independent and works together with the most important TEX 
backend drivers, including pdfTEX and dvips. It comes with a 
user-friendly syntax layer called TikZ"


So, inclusion of LaTeX  math is straightforward in Tikz, while other 
tools may need some tricks to get full benefits of LaTeX. Tikz has some 
many packages, maybe one of them is good for your diagrams. Please look 
at the Pgf/Tikz manual.


One recommendation here tough: Do not write your graphics code in LyX. 
Generate it outside with regular LaTeX, and save your image as PDF. 
Then, include the PDF into the LyX as figure. The issue with including 
the graphics code in LyX is that, compilation times will get longer, and 
it would be difficult to find the errors in your code as you have more 
graphics and you have more text. Moreover, you will find out that the 
ERT coding environment is not very user friendly as your figure gets 
complicated, as it was not intended to develop code in there. I have 
done this before, and I have found myself testing the code with LaTeX 
outside LyX to find the errors. Therefore, LaTeX editors are better for 
this purpose (e.g. TeXmaker, TeXstudio, even Notepad++).


If you want to give a try, I have attached two files: one for the 
figure  and the other one is for the settings. Compile sample.tex with 
latex and you have your figure as PDF, ready to insert into LyX.

Nice website. I didn't know about it. There is actually an option to

Insert > File > External Materian ... > Inkscape figure

which in turn typesets the text of the svg via LaTeX. That might be a

As for drawing diagrams, if you want to use Xy-Pic, there is a manual on

Sorry for top-posting. If the toolbar is shown the environment choice

Thanks, Rich and Axel, but I tried this already. A left mouse click in
the vertical environment choice box  gives me a red point with 4
blades, but the only action is moving the whole Lyx display.

At least here, there are two lines just above a vertical toolbar. If I
put my mouse cursor over those lines, it turns into the four pointy
thing. Then I can click and move it. Clicking on empty space in the
toolbar does not work.

Riki

I include a snapshot with the mouse cursor position above the 2 lines
which you refer to, I guess. But I can't move the toolbar. I am using
Lyx 2.3.3dev and QT4.8.7, by the way

Not sure why it won't work, then.

I take it you are on Linux? If so, then look at the folder
~/.config/LyX/. This is (at least here) where these kinds of settings
are stored. I have two files there: lyx.conf and lyx2.4.conf. The former
is the one for 'released' LyX. If you open that file (or can find
lyx.conf in some other location), then you will see a bunch of stuff like:

[views]
0\citation\autofind=true
0\citation\casesensitive=false

Find the line beginning 0\layout. Delete that line. That should restore
the defaults. Alternatively, have a look at the 0\standard lines. It is
possible that 'movability' has somehow been disabled.

Riki


I finally managed to pull the left sided environment choice box to the 
horizontal position. Why it did not work before? Perhaps due to my age 
the hand and/or eyes were not precise enough. Would be nice if this 
shifting would be a bit less tricky.


Thanks for all the help and excuse the noice,

Find the line beginning 0\layout. Delete that line. That should restore
the defaults. Alternatively, have a look at the 0\standard lines. It is
possible that 'movability' has somehow been disabled.

At least here, there are two lines just above a vertical toolbar. If I
put my mouse cursor over those lines, it turns into the four pointy
thing. Then I can click and move it. Clicking on empty space in the
toolbar does not work.

Sorry for top-posting. If the toolbar is shown the environment choice box
should be part of it and it should probably appear on top of the vertical
toolbar. You can move the toolbar by dragging it using your mouse. It will

I somehow managed to loose the Environment choice box and don't know how 
to get it back. The only place where it is mentioned in the help files

It may help to have a look a the "enumitem" module that enhances enumeration
environments. 

The appended gm-lists.module requires and uses enumitem to define
additional list types. It is a bit dated, though.

A couple of possibilities come to mind. If you want to use the new 
version exclusively (and not use good old "enumerate"), you could 
redefine the enumerate environment itself. Assuming you want xenumerate 
to coexist with enumerate, you can define a layout for it, either in the 
Local Layout portion of the document settings (if you only want it for 
one document) or in a module file installed in your local layouts directory.


Guessing that you want the last one (i.e., add this along side regular 
enumerations and make it available to any document that wants it), I 
would suggest looking at /usr/share/lyx/layouts/stdlists.inc for 
inspiration. (That's the Linux path; on other OSes, your path may 
differ.) Look for the section that begins "Style Enumerate" and copy it 
to your local module file (which will also need the proper header 
stuff). Change the first line of the style to "Style Xenumerate" (or 
whatever), change the LatexName entry to "xenumerate", and see if 
anything else needs tweaking (quite possibly not).

Well, what I meant was exactly this solution.  You can place these
options in the preamble to be valid for whole document, or you can place
it in the Enumerate Options of LyX to be valid only for that particular
list. I use both. LyX does not have a tool that set these for you.


I think this is still a misunderstanding.

You suggest to change the LaTeX output by manipulating the preamble or 
setting Enumerate Options.


In contrast, Jean-Marc's suggestion had nothing to do with LaTeX. It's 
aim was to change the appearance in LyX' work area by modifying the 
Local Layout.

I see. That was just an oversimplification on my side. Attached is a 
variant. If I understand you correctly your solution cannot be used for it.


Currently, itemize and enumerate are handled in a hard-coded way. It is 
thus not possible to add a new layout that acts like that. However, it 
would be possible to generalize enumerate/itemize support to get rid of 
any hard-coding (in theory at least).

Are you saying that you want the LaTeX output to match what you see in 
LyX ("(a)" in PDF), or that you want what you see in LyX to match the 
LaTeX output ("1." in LyX)?

Counters of custom list environment

[Daniel]

Hi,

In the attached document the list structure in the work area is shown as

i. MyEnumerate
(a) Enumerate

but the output is actually

i. MyEnumerate
1. Enumerate

I seem unable to figure out how to tell LyX that my custom enumerate (as 
set in the Local Layout and Preamble) is different from the standard one 
and hence the counting should restart when changing environments.


I thought LyX would figure out what I want by seeing that the LatexName 
or LabelCounter differs from the standard enumerate environment but that 
does not do the trick.


Is there an additional setting I miss, or is it a shortcoming of LyX?

Best,
Daniel

Can you post a small example LyX file, with the layout info included as
local layout and example text that shows the problem? If there are
multiple versions of what you are trying to do, then include them all as
Goal-1, Goal-2, whatever. Then we can try to debug.

LaTeX Error: Environment cBoxD undefined.

[Lloyd R. Prentice]

Hello,

I'm attempting to format code listings in a shaded box.  The heading 
would look like "Listing CN.LN Example code," CN is chapter number, LN 
is listing number, and "Example code" is in italic. I also need to 
highlight code fragments in bold.


It looks like the tcolorbox package can do what I need. But when I 
attempt to use it and compile to PDF I get an error.


Can some kind soul show the way to success?

Here's what I have so far:

FWIW, assumption exist in module 'Theorems (AMS-Extended)'.

Goto Document->Settings->Modules
Select Theorems (AMS)
push Add
Select Theorems (AMS-Extended)
push Add
push OK
and you should be done.

If you are working with a new document class that does not have an 
existing layout, you need to write a layout file (or copy and hack an 
existing layout for a document class similar to the new one). A single 
module probably won't cut it, and a gaggle of modules will be at least 
as much work.


If you are trying to implement an environment that you'll likely use in 
documents of more than one type, you want to create a module, which can 
be dropped into any document. The alternative would be to hack the 
layout files for each of the document classes where you might want that 
environment.


Before doing either, it's worth searching the LyX wiki (and Google) to 
see if that particular wheel has already been invented.

Hi kc cao,

I don't know exactly what you meant by "to the UI of LyX", but if you
want to add a new environment, to a document, that will be given your
specified appearance both in the PDF output and the LyX user interface,
the way I do it is to create a layout file if none exists,  and add the
environment to the layout file. 

I've written extensively on this process, but using layout files was
much more difficult back then. Now you just put the layout file in the
same directory as the document, and import it as a local layout
file, and BANG, it gets recognized, without all the mumbo-jumbo and
hocus-pocus I used to have to recommend.


Here are some docs I've written about this:

http://troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm#_MakingYourOwnLayout

http://troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm#_ExpandingYourLayoutFile

http://troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm#_MakingaNoteEnvironment

Being able to create your own environments and character styles makes
LyX a desktop-publishing giant: Appearances exactly to your choice, but
during authoring time you never make an appearance choice nor tweak
appearance. You'll love it.

Now, if only somebody would either finish the conversion of LyX native
code to well formed and validated XML, or create a LyX to Xhtml
converter that doesn't prematurely convert styles to appearance and
create different paragraph types (class=) just to specify which body
text doesn't get indented, LyX would be the perfect overall authoring
machine.

HTH,

SteveT

To insert the \iint symbol, for example, you can either type \iint 
followed by a space in a math inset or select it from the math toolbar. 
It's in the "Big operators" group; the icon for the group is an integral 
sign, and it's on the upper of the two math toolbars in the default 
configuration.


To center a "D" beneath a double integral, start by clicking the "Frame 
decorations" group button (immediate left of "Big operators") and select 
the outline of a box with a smaller box underneath it (or just type 
\underset followed by a space in the math inset). Put the \iint symbol 
in the top box and the D in the bottom box.

These colors are not semantic (and thus not changeable in the prefs)
but hardcoded in the layout file. You have to change the layout file or
make adjustments in Document > Settings > Local Layout, e.g.

Style Address
LabelFont
  Color   Blue

Changing GUI color of environment labels

[Matthias Wirtz]

Hello,

for changing GUI colors one can use Tools->Preferences->Look/Colors.

Unfortunately I can not identify the entry responsible for the 
text/background color of environment labels.


In classes like beamer or letter you have environment names "Sent to 
Address" or "Opening" which appear on the screen in order to specify the 
corresponding values. The color of these labels is dark blue by default.


I want to change the color but can't identify which entry in the list of 
color labels is responsible.


Thx for the help.

Empty TeX code works, too. Either is a hack to make LyX think the first
line is not empty, since otherwise it will delete it.

If you do this a lot, you can do something like:

Format 60

Style Theorem*
KeepEmpty 1
End

in Local Layout. This tells LyX to allow empty lines in unnumbered
theorems. Then you do not have to do anything special.

Put a "protected space" on the first line. (Insert> Formatting>
Protected Space) This makes there by something on that line, but it's
invisible.
