You probably need to compile lyx though. I assume that Lyx uses the O2 flag for production builds so while error messages and logs are a huge help (minimum working example is the best), unless you can compile with the O0 flag for gcc, gdb will just return a mess. The good news is that you mostly

Be very careful when viewing Beamer presentations with anything other than Adobe. I have found that the presentations never display correctly and when giving a presentation, it is almost a guarantee that you will be presenting on Adobe. If you are not using Beamer, anything else should work. I

possible that there is a bug with lyx if this occurs. BTW, I have no affiliation with Adobe at all but everyone uses it and if I don't use it, I can easily run into problems where it will view in one browser but not in others.

I use dropbox for something similar. That also means that your .lyx folder should also be on there and any changes you make to the default configuration are synced. ~Ben On Wed, Oct 1, 2014 at 8:12 AM, Helge Hafting helge.haft...@hist.no wrote: Den 25. sep. 2014 12:06, skrev Renato Pontefice:

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,

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

You might have to get your configuration with ERT. I find a lot of formatting is complicated with koma. You could also play around with your din.lco file. That is where all of the spacing is defined unless overridden. I might suggest an ERT of \raggedright with the includeimage command. It is hard

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
