Natbib options in Lyx with embedded bibliography
When I embed a bibliography in the Lyx file itself (using the .AUX or .bbl file), and then click on a citation reference in the Lyx file, I do not get the option to choose a citation style, as I do when I call the citation from a bibtex database. I am using natbib (author-year), and indicated that in the Document Settings. How do I regain the ability to choose the citation style? Thanks, EK
Re: Natbib options in Lyx with embedded bibliography
Lyx */does/* know a lot about the citations, since when I click on one,
it shows its details (and in the left column all the other citations
that have been included in the Lyx file), but not the formatting options.
I inserted the references into the Lyx file through the circuitous route
of exporting the Lyx file to Latex, using \begin{thebibiolgraphy} ...
end{thebibliography} etc. with the .bbl file pasted in.
Once it compiled correctly with pdflatex, I then imported it back to Lyx.

I'm a little unclear about how you've got things set up. Are you
including the bbl file, via the InsertFile mechanism? Pasting it as
ERT? Or what? My hunch is that the problem is that LyX does not know
anything about the citation entries, so it is not giving you any
options about them.

So the citations in Bibliography environments at the end of the paper,
yes? Then the problem is that, in order for natbib to make sense out of
author-year citations, when you insert them this way, the key MUST be in
a certain form. Otherwise, natbib has no way of knowing what the author
and the year are. (It can't just parse the entry.) I think the form is:
author[year], but I am not sure. Jurgen told me about this some time ago
on one or another of the lists, so you might find it that way. Or you
might email him directly. Though I think he's incommunicado for a bit.
Probably the natbib docs have something about this, too.

natbib options
Hello!
I am using LyX on Windows XP to write my thesis. I use BibTeX for the
references. I have noticed that LyX uses the natbib package when I set
cite-style in the document settings to Natbib.
Can I specify the options with witch LyX loads the natbib package?
In my case I would like to load it like this:
\usepackage[
sortcompress, %make numerical citations short
square, %square brackets around cites
nonamebreak %prevents errors with hyperref package
]{natbib}
This would prevent the problems with the hyperref package and still allow me
to use the comfortable cite-buttons in LyX.
I'd be very glad if anybody could help me with that. Thank you very much in
advance.
