Question re bib file
Hi, I have a larger bib file for a book, for which a lyx file run spits this warning [7580] Utils.pm:410> ERROR - BibTeX subsystem: /tmp/biber_tmp_SWLO/d7dc170ec507816e85d64326c042e07e_4336.utf8, line 7118, syntax error: found ",", expected one of: number, name (entry type, key, field, or macro name), end of entry ("}" or ")") or quoted string ({...} or "...") even if I reduce the lyx file to just one reference and using the large bib file. There is no Bibliography output in the pdf and the citation is not as expected, but a bold author name. If I, however, use a minimal bib file with just this one citation, it works fine. For me this looks like lyx goes through the (large) bib file, finds something which it does not like and does not build a correct pdf output, although it could if it would use from the (large) bib file only this one reference. Is this correct? And could it be changed so that one is not forced to check the whole bib file for possible errors before submitting it to the lyx file? I use Debian bullseye and lyx Version 2.4.0dev (not released yet) Built from git commit hash 53ed3dc0 Qt Version (run-time): 5.15.2 on platform xcb Qt Version (compile-time): 5.15.2 Python detected: python3 -tt Wolfgang -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

I have loaded MiKTeX and LyX 2.3.61 I have also installed the packages: actuarialsymbols actuarialangle in MiKTeX to create actuarial symbols. How do I use these packages in LyX? eg: \actsymbol{A}{x} *Regards* *_Bill _* Hi Bill, If you want to use a package that is not internally supported by LyX, you have to add it manually in the preamble and put the desired command into a TeX Code inset (aka ERT). Add the package to the preamble: 1. Select "Settings" in the "Document" menu which opens the "Document Settings" dialog. 2. In the dialog, select "LaTeX Preamble" on the left side and put \usepackage{actuarialsymbols} \usepackage{actuarialangle} 3. Press "OK" in the dialog. Put the command into a TeX Code inset: 1. Put the cursor where you want to add the command in your document. 2. Insert "TeX Code" from the "Insert" menu (there is also a shortcut indicated next to the menu which allows you to do this quicker). 3. In TeX Code inset (red box) add your command, e.g. \actsymbol{A}{x}. Daniel -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Extend the visible area of the text
Is it possible to extend to the bottom of the visible area where one types the text? At least, a bit lower than just to the bottom of the text (LyX's default)?

But ... while the pdflatex output showed footnote 7 in the table cell the footnote's contents were not printed at the bottom of the page below footnote 6. So, rather than continuing to beat on this issue I moved the footnote from the cell to the subsbusection title end. Now it compiles without error and the footnote content is printed.

According to the documentation (link at the bottom), "The Show/Hide ¶ button turns hidden characters like spaces, paragraph markers, or tab marks on and off."
