 Is there any new information about that?

Error with floating graphics

2008-04-06 Thread Peter Kämpf

Hi,

since converting to LyX 1.5 and OS X 10.5, I have trouble with  
floating objects. When I remove them all, even large texts ( 250  
pages with all fancy formatting) are nicely converted into PDFs, but  
as soon as I add one embedded graphic, I get this sequence of error  
messages (one per picture) when I try to produce a PDF from within LyX:


Undefined control sequence
Missing $ inserted
Extra }, or forgotten $
Extra }, or forgotten $
Undefined control sequence

I am used to tweaking the LyX file in a text editor, but this is  
beyond me as I am totally ignorant of LaTeX. Is there a kind soul out  
there who might shed some light on this?

Jurabib - changind fiels order

2008-04-06 Thread fip320-id
Hi!
 
I'm writing a thesis in medieval history.
I've been using jurabib and Lyx for several years, and the memories of
the last days when I had to print my Master memoir are still painful,
so this time I'm trying to find a solution for every problem I have in
advance! So I think I'll post several messages in the next weeks...

Right nom I'm dealing with the appearance of my bibliography.
One thing I can't figure out: is it possible to change the order of the
fields in the citations and bibliography?

For example, for the articles, I have:
AUTHOR, Article title, Journal Name, volume, year, number, pages

and I would like:
AUTHOR, Article title, Journal Name, volume, number, year, pages

and I might want to change the order of other things...
Is this something easy to do?

Here is my setup:

\jurabibsetup{  
titleformat=italic,
titleformat=all,
titleformat=commasep,
commabeforerest=true,
pages=test,
ibidem=strict,
authorformat=smallcaps,
citefull=first,
bibformat=ibidem,
bibformat=compress,
}  

   \renewcommand{\numberandseries}[2]{\space (coll. #2)}
   \renewcommand{\artnumberformat}[1]{, \no~#1}
   \renewcommand{\pernumberformat}[1]{, \no~#1}
   \renewcommand{\artvolumeformat}[1]{vol.~#1,}
   \renewcommand{\pervolumeformat}[1]{, vol.~#1}
   \renewcommand{\artyearformat}[1]{ #1}
   \renewcommand{\peryearformat}[1]{, #1}
   \renewcommand{\volumeformat}[1]{vol.~#1,}
   \renewcommand{\osep}{;\space}

   \renewcommand{\jbtitlefont}{\textit}
   \renewcommand{\jbapifont}[1]{\og#1\fg}


   \renewcommand{\bibJTsep}{}

Do you have the LaTeX graphicx package installed?  In LyX, section 5.4 
of Help - LaTeX Configuration should say Found: yes if you do.

 This is how I managed a Harvard style including small caps in Jurabib for

 \jurabibsetup{authorformat=smallcaps,round}

bibtex/makebst: address not shown in bibliography

2008-04-06 Thread Berthold Metz (PH-Freiburg)

hi,

i am using natbib (author-year) with a style i created with makebst.

i have 2 problems with my bibliography-list at the end of my article - 
perhaps somebody could help me out?


1. when referencing an article in an editorial work, the address of the 
publisher is not shown;


so i want: Smith, J. (1980): Title. In Mayer (ed): Title1, pp. 135-146. 
London: Publishing-Company.
but i get: Smith, J. (1980): Title. In Mayer (ed): Title1, pp. 135-146. 
Publishing-Company.


i worked hard in my bst-file, i feel the problem for the missing address 
could be in the code snippet i quote below this mail ... but i am not sure.



2. in names the dash is suppressed
so my natbib-entry is
@book{SachsHombach:2003b,
 abstract = {{L}iteraturangaben},
 year = {2003},
 title = {{W}as ist {B}ildkompetenz?:  {S}tudien zur {B}ildwissenschaft},
 address = {{W}iesbaden},
 publisher = {{D}t. {U}niv.--{V}erl.},
 isbn = {382984},
 editor = {{S}achs--{H}ombach, {K}laus}
}
the editor is shown (wrong) as Sachs Hombach, but the publisher 
(correct) as Dt. Univ.-Verl.


any help is highly appreciated.
thanks in advance
bert

Re: Error with floating graphics

2008-04-06 Thread Peter Kämpf

Dear Paul,

thanks for your reply, and for pointing me to this feature!

Yes, it says the graphics package is installed. This I copied from the  
document:


5.4 graphicx

MM Found: yes

MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/graphics/

However, I could not use a Postscript version of my picture (I use a  
PNG instead). In the document window I get an error message that it  
can not be converted, and when I try to convert to a PDF, I get a  
notice that ghostscript crashed because a library could not be found  
(libXt.6.dylib). I'm writing this because in the text of section 5.4  
it says that the graphics package is needed to display Postscript, so  
the installation looks incomplete. Now I just re-installed the whole  
teTeX package. The installer did not need additional space (indicating  
to me that all packages were already in place), but now at least gs  
finds its library. The picture still can't be displayed in LyX,  
though, and all error messages stay unchanged! What can I do now?

First, make sure that you have ImageMagick installed.  I do not think 
this is the source of the error messages, but it cannot hurt to check.


Second, what happens if you insert a graphic directly into a document 
(without using a float)?  You might try inserting one of your image 
files into a new document to test.  Do you still get the error message?


Third, when you get an error message, the LaTeX log file should indicate 
 where the error occurred.  Just above the first undefined control 
sequence line should be a portion of a source line, indicating what it 
was that LaTeX thought was an undefined control sequence.  Please post that.

Yes, I know. On my laptop I already use biblatex only. However, my
girlfriend is just starting into LyX and LaTeX, so I do not want to make it
too complicated.
Anyway, as a humanities student I still find Jurabib a lot easier than
Natbib in terms of configuring. And Biblatex will be even more configurable.
Sooner or later it will be easy to use it with LyX and probably even
configurable via a nice graphical interface :)

Easy solution, is to enter in your bib file in the volume field something
like 54:2 or 54, 2 if you want a comma
 
 and I might want to change the order of other things...
 Is this something easy to do?

Well you can hack the jurabib bst to change the order of fields. Hacking
jurabib is not that easy because part of the formatting is done in the bst
file and part in the jurabib latex macro. 

Another solution is to jump on the biblatex boat. Biblatex is much cleaner
and easier to hack but :
- there is no 'archive' type yet
- export to MsWord through tex4ht does not work yet
- the documentation is very 'German', comprehensive but not very practical 

For medievalists, it would also be nice to have a 'manuscript' type and
a 'critical edition' type.

If you are starting writing the thesis, I would go the biblatex way.

Cheers,
Charles

Hyphenation problem with two languages

Hello
I have a problem with hyphenation when I use two or more character sets in the 
same document.
If i leave the English as the default document language the hyphenation does 
not work, when the text is in another language (i.e Greek).
When I select Greek as the default  language the hyphenation does work but 
then only Greek characters are displayed, and in order to display English I 
have to use tex commands or to use the text style button which is 
inconvenient.

Can I do anything about it?

Chapter counter position in layout.

2008-04-06 Thread Jinghua Zhong
Hi,

I'm trying to define a layout file for my dissertation. I haven't
started adding anything and just copied the report layout as a
starting point. While reading through all files included in this
layout, I noticed something strange.

The label for Chapter is displayed differently from those of Part,
Section, Subsection, etc. The label (e.g., Chapter 1) appears above
the text, but the label for everything else appears to the left.
However, I couldn't find anything in the layout files that defines the
chapter label position (above or in the same line) differently from
the rest of the sections labels. Can someone tell me how to move the
label for chapter to the left? (This does not affect the functionality
or the compiled output in any way, but I'm just curious because the
counter appears to the left of the chapter name in the dissertation
style of our university.)

Thanks,
Jinghua Zhong

 I have seen a lot of new features with Lyx 1.6.

 Is there any new information about that?

  We are near the release of the second alpha (the first that will be

Error with floating graphics

2008-04-06 Thread Peter Kämpf

Hi,

since converting to LyX 1.5 and OS X 10.5, I have trouble with  
floating objects. When I remove them all, even large texts ( 250  
pages with all fancy formatting) are nicely converted into PDFs, but  
as soon as I add one embedded graphic, I get this sequence of error  
messages (one per picture) when I try to produce a PDF from within LyX:


Undefined control sequence
Missing $ inserted
Extra }, or forgotten $
Extra }, or forgotten $
Undefined control sequence

I am used to tweaking the LyX file in a text editor, but this is  
beyond me as I am totally ignorant of LaTeX. Is there a kind soul out  
there who might shed some light on this?

Jurabib - changind fiels order

2008-04-06 Thread fip320-id
Hi!
 
I'm writing a thesis in medieval history.
I've been using jurabib and Lyx for several years, and the memories of
the last days when I had to print my Master memoir are still painful,
so this time I'm trying to find a solution for every problem I have in
advance! So I think I'll post several messages in the next weeks...

Right nom I'm dealing with the appearance of my bibliography.
One thing I can't figure out: is it possible to change the order of the
fields in the citations and bibliography?

For example, for the articles, I have:
AUTHOR, Article title, Journal Name, volume, year, number, pages

and I would like:
AUTHOR, Article title, Journal Name, volume, number, year, pages

and I might want to change the order of other things...
Is this something easy to do?

Here is my setup:

\jurabibsetup{  
titleformat=italic,
titleformat=all,
titleformat=commasep,
commabeforerest=true,
pages=test,
ibidem=strict,
authorformat=smallcaps,
citefull=first,
bibformat=ibidem,
bibformat=compress,
}  

   \renewcommand{\numberandseries}[2]{\space (coll. #2)}
   \renewcommand{\artnumberformat}[1]{, \no~#1}
   \renewcommand{\pernumberformat}[1]{, \no~#1}
   \renewcommand{\artvolumeformat}[1]{vol.~#1,}
   \renewcommand{\pervolumeformat}[1]{, vol.~#1}
   \renewcommand{\artyearformat}[1]{ #1}
   \renewcommand{\peryearformat}[1]{, #1}
   \renewcommand{\volumeformat}[1]{vol.~#1,}
   \renewcommand{\osep}{;\space}

   \renewcommand{\jbtitlefont}{\textit}
   \renewcommand{\jbapifont}[1]{\og#1\fg}


   \renewcommand{\bibJTsep}{}
   \renewcommand{\jbauthorfnfont}{\normalfont}
   \renewcommand{\bibfnfont}{}
   \renewcommand{\bibefnfont}{}
   \renewcommand{\biblnfont}{\textsc}
   \renewcommand{\bibelnfont}{\textsc}
   \renewcommand{\bibtfont}{\textit}
   \renewcommand{\bibbtfont}{\textit}
   \renewcommand{\bibjtfont}{\textit}
   \renewcommand{\bibapifont}[1]{\og#1\fg}

Do you have the LaTeX graphicx package installed?  In LyX, section 5.4 
of Help - LaTeX Configuration should say Found: yes if you do.

 This is how I managed a Harvard style including small caps in Jurabib for

 \jurabibsetup{authorformat=smallcaps,round}

bibtex/makebst: address not shown in bibliography

2008-04-06 Thread Berthold Metz (PH-Freiburg)

hi,

i am using natbib (author-year) with a style i created with makebst.

i have 2 problems with my bibliography-list at the end of my article - 
perhaps somebody could help me out?


1. when referencing an article in an editorial work, the address of the 
publisher is not shown;


so i want: Smith, J. (1980): Title. In Mayer (ed): Title1, pp. 135-146. 
London: Publishing-Company.
but i get: Smith, J. (1980): Title. In Mayer (ed): Title1, pp. 135-146. 
Publishing-Company.


i worked hard in my bst-file, i feel the problem for the missing address 
could be in the code snippet i quote below this mail ... but i am not sure.



2. in names the dash is suppressed
so my natbib-entry is
@book{SachsHombach:2003b,
 abstract = {{L}iteraturangaben},
 year = {2003},
 title = {{W}as ist {B}ildkompetenz?:  {S}tudien zur {B}ildwissenschaft},
 address = {{W}iesbaden},
 publisher = {{D}t. {U}niv.--{V}erl.},
 isbn = {382984},
 editor = {{S}achs--{H}ombach, {K}laus}
}
the editor is shown (wrong) as Sachs Hombach, but the publisher 
(correct) as Dt. Univ.-Verl.


any help is highly appreciated.
thanks in advance
bert

Re: Error with floating graphics

2008-04-06 Thread Peter Kämpf

Dear Paul,

thanks for your reply, and for pointing me to this feature!

Yes, it says the graphics package is installed. This I copied from the  
document:


5.4 graphicx

MM Found: yes

MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/graphics/

However, I could not use a Postscript version of my picture (I use a  
PNG instead). In the document window I get an error message that it  
can not be converted, and when I try to convert to a PDF, I get a  
notice that ghostscript crashed because a library could not be found  
(libXt.6.dylib). I'm writing this because in the text of section 5.4  
it says that the graphics package is needed to display Postscript, so  
the installation looks incomplete. Now I just re-installed the whole  
teTeX package. The installer did not need additional space (indicating  
to me that all packages were already in place), but now at least gs  
finds its library. The picture still can't be displayed in LyX,  
though, and all error messages stay unchanged! What can I do now?

First, make sure that you have ImageMagick installed.  I do not think 
this is the source of the error messages, but it cannot hurt to check.


Second, what happens if you insert a graphic directly into a document 
(without using a float)?  You might try inserting one of your image 
files into a new document to test.  Do you still get the error message?


Third, when you get an error message, the LaTeX log file should indicate 
 where the error occurred.  Just above the first undefined control 
sequence line should be a portion of a source line, indicating what it 
was that LaTeX thought was an undefined control sequence.  Please post that.

Yes, I know. On my laptop I already use biblatex only. However, my
girlfriend is just starting into LyX and LaTeX, so I do not want to make it
too complicated.
Anyway, as a humanities student I still find Jurabib a lot easier than
Natbib in terms of configuring. And Biblatex will be even more configurable.
Sooner or later it will be easy to use it with LyX and probably even
configurable via a nice graphical interface :)

Easy solution, is to enter in your bib file in the volume field something
like 54:2 or 54, 2 if you want a comma
 
 and I might want to change the order of other things...
 Is this something easy to do?

Well you can hack the jurabib bst to change the order of fields. Hacking
jurabib is not that easy because part of the formatting is done in the bst
file and part in the jurabib latex macro. 

Another solution is to jump on the biblatex boat. Biblatex is much cleaner
and easier to hack but :
- there is no 'archive' type yet
- export to MsWord through tex4ht does not work yet
- the documentation is very 'German', comprehensive but not very practical 

For medievalists, it would also be nice to have a 'manuscript' type and
a 'critical edition' type.

If you are starting writing the thesis, I would go the biblatex way.

Cheers,
Charles

Hyphenation problem with two languages

Hello
I have a problem with hyphenation when I use two or more character sets in the 
same document.
If i leave the English as the default document language the hyphenation does 
not work, when the text is in another language (i.e Greek).
When I select Greek as the default  language the hyphenation does work but 
then only Greek characters are displayed, and in order to display English I 
have to use tex commands or to use the text style button which is 
inconvenient.

Can I do anything about it?

Chapter counter position in layout.

2008-04-06 Thread Jinghua Zhong
Hi,

I'm trying to define a layout file for my dissertation. I haven't
started adding anything and just copied the report layout as a
starting point. While reading through all files included in this
layout, I noticed something strange.

The label for Chapter is displayed differently from those of Part,
Section, Subsection, etc. The label (e.g., Chapter 1) appears above
the text, but the label for everything else appears to the left.
However, I couldn't find anything in the layout files that defines the
chapter label position (above or in the same line) differently from
the rest of the sections labels. Can someone tell me how to move the
label for chapter to the left? (This does not affect the functionality
or the compiled output in any way, but I'm just curious because the
counter appears to the left of the chapter name in the dissertation
style of our university.)

Thanks,
Jinghua Zhong

  We are near the release of the second alpha (the first that will be

Error with floating graphics

2008-04-06 Thread Peter Kämpf

Hi,

since converting to LyX 1.5 and OS X 10.5, I have trouble with  
floating objects. When I remove them all, even large texts (> 250  
pages with all fancy formatting) are nicely converted into PDFs, but  
as soon as I add one embedded graphic, I get this sequence of error  
messages (one per picture) when I try to produce a PDF from within LyX:


Undefined control sequence
Missing $ inserted
Extra }, or forgotten $
Extra }, or forgotten $
Undefined control sequence

I am used to tweaking the LyX file in a text editor, but this is  
beyond me as I am totally ignorant of LaTeX. Is there a kind soul out  
there who might shed some light on this?

Jurabib - changind fiels order

2008-04-06 Thread fip320-id
Hi!
 
I'm writing a thesis in medieval history.
I've been using jurabib and Lyx for several years, and the memories of
the last days when I had to print my Master memoir are still painful,
so this time I'm trying to find a solution for every problem I have in
advance! So I think I'll post several messages in the next weeks...

Right nom I'm dealing with the appearance of my bibliography.
One thing I can't figure out: is it possible to change the order of the
fields in the citations and bibliography?

For example, for the articles, I have:
AUTHOR, "Article title", Journal Name, volume, year, number, pages

and I would like:
AUTHOR, "Article title", Journal Name, volume, number, year, pages

and I might want to change the order of other things...
Is this something easy to do?

Here is my setup:

\jurabibsetup{  
titleformat=italic,
titleformat=all,
titleformat=commasep,
commabeforerest=true,
pages=test,
ibidem=strict,
authorformat=smallcaps,
citefull=first,
bibformat=ibidem,
bibformat=compress,
}  

   \renewcommand{\numberandseries}[2]{\space (coll. #2)}
   \renewcommand{\artnumberformat}[1]{, \no~#1}
   \renewcommand{\pernumberformat}[1]{, \no~#1}
   \renewcommand{\artvolumeformat}[1]{vol.~#1,}
   \renewcommand{\pervolumeformat}[1]{, vol.~#1}
   \renewcommand{\artyearformat}[1]{ #1}
   \renewcommand{\peryearformat}[1]{, #1}
   \renewcommand{\volumeformat}[1]{vol.~#1,}
   \renewcommand{\osep}{;\space}

   \renewcommand{\jbtitlefont}{\textit}
   \renewcommand{\jbapifont}[1]{\og#1\fg}


   \renewcommand{\bibJTsep}{}
   \renewcommand{\jbauthorfnfont}{\normalfont}
   \renewcommand{\bibfnfont}{}
   \renewcommand{\bibefnfont}{}
   \renewcommand{\biblnfont}{\textsc}
   \renewcommand{\bibelnfont}{\textsc}
   \renewcommand{\bibtfont}{\textit}
   \renewcommand{\bibbtfont}{\textit}
   \renewcommand{\bibjtfont}{\textit}
   \renewcommand{\bibapifont}[1]{\og#1\fg}
   \renewcommand{\bibauthormultiple}{---,\space}

Do you have the LaTeX graphicx package installed?  In LyX, section 5.4 
of Help -> LaTeX Configuration should say "Found: yes" if you do.

bibtex/makebst: address not shown in bibliography

2008-04-06 Thread Berthold Metz (PH-Freiburg)

hi,

i am using natbib (author-year) with a style i created with makebst.

i have 2 problems with my bibliography-list at the end of my article - 
perhaps somebody could help me out?


1. when referencing an article in an editorial work, the address of the 
publisher is not shown;


so i want: Smith, J. (1980): Title. In Mayer (ed): Title1, pp. 135-146. 
London: Publishing-Company.
but i get: Smith, J. (1980): Title. In Mayer (ed): Title1, pp. 135-146. 
Publishing-Company.


i worked hard in my bst-file, i feel the problem for the missing address 
could be in the code snippet i quote below this mail ... but i am not sure.



2. in names the dash is suppressed
so my natbib-entry is
@book{SachsHombach:2003b,
 abstract = {{L}iteraturangaben},
 year = {2003},
 title = {{W}as ist {B}ildkompetenz?:  {S}tudien zur {B}ildwissenschaft},
 address = {{W}iesbaden},
 publisher = {{D}t. {U}niv.--{V}erl.},
 isbn = {382984},
 editor = {{S}achs--{H}ombach, {K}laus}
}
the editor is shown (wrong) as "Sachs Hombach", but the publisher 
(correct) as "Dt. Univ.-Verl."


any help is highly appreciated.
thanks in advance
bert



FUNCTION {format.org.or.pub}

Re: Error with floating graphics

2008-04-06 Thread Peter Kämpf

Dear Paul,

thanks for your reply, and for pointing me to this feature!

Yes, it says the graphics package is installed. This I copied from the  
document:


5.4 graphicx

MM Found: yes

MM CTAN: macros/latex/required/graphics/

However, I could not use a Postscript version of my picture (I use a  
PNG instead). In the document window I get an error message that it  
can not be converted, and when I try to convert to a PDF, I get a  
notice that ghostscript crashed because a library could not be found  
(libXt.6.dylib). I'm writing this because in the text of section 5.4  
it says that the graphics package is needed to display Postscript, so  
the installation looks incomplete. Now I just re-installed the whole  
teTeX package. The installer did not need additional space (indicating  
to me that all packages were already in place), but now at least gs  
finds its library. The picture still can't be displayed in LyX,  
though, and all error messages stay unchanged! What can I do now?

First, make sure that you have ImageMagick installed.  I do not think 
this is the source of the error messages, but it cannot hurt to check.


Second, what happens if you insert a graphic directly into a document 
(without using a float)?  You might try inserting one of your image 
files into a new document to test.  Do you still get the error message?


Third, when you get an error message, the LaTeX log file should indicate 
 where the error occurred.  Just above the first "undefined control 
sequence" line should be a portion of a source line, indicating what it 
was that LaTeX thought was an undefined control sequence.  Please post that.

Yes, I know. On my laptop I already use biblatex only. However, my
girlfriend is just starting into LyX and LaTeX, so I do not want to make it
too complicated.
Anyway, as a humanities student I still find Jurabib a lot easier than
Natbib in terms of configuring. And Biblatex will be even more configurable.
Sooner or later it will be easy to use it with LyX and probably even
configurable via a nice graphical interface :)

Easy solution, is to enter in your bib file in the volume field something
like 54:2 or 54, 2 if you want a comma
> 
> and I might want to change the order of other things...
> Is this something easy to do?

Well you can hack the jurabib bst to change the order of fields. Hacking
jurabib is not that easy because part of the formatting is done in the bst
file and part in the jurabib latex macro. 

Another solution is to jump on the biblatex boat. Biblatex is much cleaner
and easier to hack but :
- there is no 'archive' type yet
- export to MsWord through tex4ht does not work yet
- the documentation is very 'German', comprehensive but not very practical 

For medievalists, it would also be nice to have a 'manuscript' type and
a 'critical edition' type.

If you are starting writing the thesis, I would go the biblatex way.

Cheers,
Charles

Does it work with a normal book ? Are you using crossref or not ? The

Hyphenation problem with two languages

Hello
I have a problem with hyphenation when I use two or more character sets in the 
same document.
If i leave the English as the default document language the hyphenation does 
not work, when the text is in another language (i.e Greek).
When I select Greek as the default  language the hyphenation does work but 
then only Greek characters are displayed, and in order to display English I 
have to use tex commands or to use the text style button which is 
inconvenient.

Can I do anything about it?

Chapter counter position in layout.

2008-04-06 Thread Jinghua Zhong
Hi,

I'm trying to define a layout file for my dissertation. I haven't
started adding anything and just copied the report layout as a
starting point. While reading through all files included in this
layout, I noticed something strange.

The label for Chapter is displayed differently from those of Part,
Section, Subsection, etc. The label (e.g., "Chapter 1") appears above
the text, but the label for everything else appears to the left.
However, I couldn't find anything in the layout files that defines the
chapter label position (above or in the same line) differently from
the rest of the sections labels. Can someone tell me how to move the
label for chapter to the left? (This does not affect the functionality
or the compiled output in any way, but I'm just curious because the
counter appears to the left of the chapter name in the dissertation
style of our university.)

Thanks,
Jinghua Zhong

www.lyx.org/test temporarily down (renamed..)

Hi,

I've renamed all wiki pages from e.g.

this means that the URI

  ^""^

You can however access the lyx web pages through
