lyx-code / scrap bug?

2009-07-21 Thread Sam Liddicott

Please could someone competent with Lyx 1.6.3 try this; create a
literate (noweb) document and have a scrap immediately follow a lyx-code
section.

In the generated .nw file (in the /tmp/lyx* dir when creating a dvi
preview) the file looks like this:

\}
\end{lyxcode}
\selectlanguage{english}%
\inputencoding{latin9}dfs_search_first()=
{
  NTSTATUS status;


The error being that dfs_search_first()= is the start of scrap and
should start on a new line.

I shall try and compile lyx 1.6.3 debs against the ubuntu 1.6.2 .dsc
file soon.

ligatures

2009-07-21 Thread Tao Cumplido

Hello,

is it possible to make lyx display advanced ligatures like 'tt' 'Th' 'ft' etc.? 
I use the Linux Libertine font which has these ligatures in the private use 
area.

shortcuts: LyX OSX side by side?

2009-07-21 Thread Joachim Osnabryg


sorry, again with changed subject (still hoping for help):

Hi LyXers, especially on Mac-OSX:

With my German keyboard on Mac-OSX normally I can get with

alt+a | d | e | o |  t | p | + | x | c | m |  l  |  ö | ä  etc.
the following special letters/symbols:
   å  | ∂ | € | ø | † | π | ± | ≈ | ç | µ | @ | œ | æ etc.

which I find very practical.

But because of the key-bindings in LyX (mac-bindings in this case, see
Help=Keybord-Shortcuts or similar) these
usual key combinations for special characters are disabled in LyX.

Of course one can disable any key-binding in LyX (so they are not usable
at all and the system key-combinations will be in effect in LyX, too) or
create another one, which seems rather laborious and time-consuming.

I hoped I could vary the keybinding of LyX or of Mac-OSX with one ore few
steps, e. g. change from alt+x
to command+alt+x or similar to avoid this problem, but I didn't find out,
how.

Can anybody show a way to get the wanted result, i. e. holding the LyX
keybindings and
== create other key-combinations for the special letters/symbols which in
other programs are got with alt+x?

I don't know much about German keyboards, but the easiest way I know
to change keybindings in LyX is to go through LyX  Preferences 
Editing  Shortcuts and do each one manually. (You can manually edit
the keybindings file, which is at ~/Library/Application
Support/LyX-1.6/bind/user.bind. Just make sure you have a backup to
revert any changes that don't work.) So it looks like you'll have to
do each one separately. Fortunately, it's a once-and-done thing.

There is also the problem that you often don't want to index every case

also help - e.g. replace concept with concept+indexentry[concept]

However, this is often not what you want. Students seeing an index
like concept: 1, 3, 5 ,7 ,9-11, 15-22, 34, 86-99, 101 despair. Testing 
shows that they only look up the first few entries. In such cases, you 
index the 2-3 most important occurences. Such as the definition, an 
explanation, and perhaps an interesting example. Too much choice is not 
good. A word may be mentioned in a footnote somewhere, without  this 
being an interesting place to look for said word.

Biblatex and filters

2009-07-21 Thread Antonio Díaz

Hi all:

I'm trying to define a filter for a bibliography, but I can't do it right.
In the *Biblatex* manual, in *3.5.8 Bibliography filters*, appears this
example:
*
**\defbibfilter{example}{% *
*\( \type{book} \or \type{inbook} \) *
*\and \keyword{abc} *
*\and \not \keyword{xyz}} *

And —I'm not sure— I supose it's just like

*\defbibfilter{example}{\( \type{book} \or \type{inbook} \) \and
\keyword{abc} \and \not \keyword{xyz}} *

I want to create a filter like write in this bibliography all the
references with the keyword *General*, but only those without the type *
electronic*:*
\defbibfilter{General}{\keyword{General} \and \not \type{electronic}} *

And later, where I want the bibliography

\printbibliography[filter=General]
\nocite{*}

Am I writing it correctly?

Kudos to the developers.

FYI, I asked for this in the following thread:

Still have a doubt, though.  Do I still have to use the xr package if I

Apacite and Lyx

2009-07-21 Thread Christian Brodbeck


Hello,

I need citations according to APA standard for a thesis. Does anyone  
have experience with that?


From what information I could find, apacite would do it, but I could  
not find any information online on how to get it to work with Lyx.


Specifically, apacite seems to use different latex comands. Apacite  
requires \cite for notmal citation and \citeA for citation in text  
(parentheses only around year). However, Lyx generates either only  
\cite command (default bibliography) or \citet and \citep for natbib,  
and uses a different parenthesis structure for additional arguments.


Does anybody know a way to work around this?

In principe it seems like it should not be difficult to add the option  
to Lyx to write \citeA instead of \citep commands. I myself can only  
program python though (if that function would actually be acessible in  
python could anyone point me to where I coud find it?).

If that's all it would take, you could put
\let\citep=\citeA
in your preamble. That makes \citep a kind of alias for \citeA. If that 
doesn't work, maybe you could produce some slightly more complicated 
redefinition of \citep that would work.


That said, did you try choosing apalike as your citation style? I don't 
know how close that will get you


Right now, producing new bibliography formats is kind of complicated. I 
have been meaning to work on that, but have had too much else to do.

Thanks, that's a good start. Now Apacite also uses different brackets  
for comments on the reference (like e.g.) than Lyx's natbib  
( \citeApre[post]{ref} vs. \cite[pre][post] ). Is there a way to  
redefine these as well? The problem with apalike is that it does not  
quote all authors the first time an article with 2 authors is quoted.

Yes, but that's going to be a lot more complicated, I'm afraid. To fix 
that you'd have to redefine \cite and friends. It's probably going to be 
easier to run the tex output through a script (python, sed, whatever). 
You could do most of the work with apalike, then switch over at the very 
end.

The following information was taken from

The \bibitem command generates an entry labeled by label
If the label argument is missing, a number is generated as the label, 
using the enumiv counter

In LyX 1.6, you'd need first to compile and install aiksaurus and then
compile and install LyX. (It's not something that will happen for the
standard install of LyX/Mac-1.6.x.)

Frankly, I find Dictionary.app to be much more useful as a thesaurus
than aiksaurus is.

lyx-code / scrap bug?

2009-07-21 Thread Sam Liddicott

Please could someone competent with Lyx 1.6.3 try this; create a
literate (noweb) document and have a scrap immediately follow a lyx-code
section.

In the generated .nw file (in the /tmp/lyx* dir when creating a dvi
preview) the file looks like this:

\}
\end{lyxcode}
\selectlanguage{english}%
\inputencoding{latin9}dfs_search_first()=
{
  NTSTATUS status;


The error being that dfs_search_first()= is the start of scrap and
should start on a new line.

I shall try and compile lyx 1.6.3 debs against the ubuntu 1.6.2 .dsc
file soon.

shortcuts: LyX OSX side by side?

2009-07-21 Thread Joachim Osnabryg


sorry, again with changed subject (still hoping for help):

Hi LyXers, especially on Mac-OSX:

With my German keyboard on Mac-OSX normally I can get with

alt+a | d | e | o |  t | p | + | x | c | m |  l  |  ö | ä  etc.
the following special letters/symbols:
   å  | ∂ | € | ø | † | π | ± | ≈ | ç | µ | @ | œ | æ etc.

which I find very practical.

But because of the key-bindings in LyX (mac-bindings in this case, see
Help=Keybord-Shortcuts or similar) these
usual key combinations for special characters are disabled in LyX.

Of course one can disable any key-binding in LyX (so they are not usable
at all and the system key-combinations will be in effect in LyX, too) or
create another one, which seems rather laborious and time-consuming.

I hoped I could vary the keybinding of LyX or of Mac-OSX with one ore few
steps, e. g. change from alt+x
to command+alt+x or similar to avoid this problem, but I didn't find out,
how.

Can anybody show a way to get the wanted result, i. e. holding the LyX
keybindings and
== create other key-combinations for the special letters/symbols which in
other programs are got with alt+x?

I don't know much about German keyboards, but the easiest way I know
to change keybindings in LyX is to go through LyX  Preferences 
Editing  Shortcuts and do each one manually. (You can manually edit
the keybindings file, which is at ~/Library/Application
Support/LyX-1.6/bind/user.bind. Just make sure you have a backup to
revert any changes that don't work.) So it looks like you'll have to
do each one separately. Fortunately, it's a once-and-done thing.

shows that they only look up the first few entries. In such cases, you 
index the 2-3 most important occurences. Such as the definition, an

good. A word may be mentioned in a footnote somewhere, without  this

Biblatex and filters

2009-07-21 Thread Antonio Díaz

Hi all:

I'm trying to define a filter for a bibliography, but I can't do it right.
In the *Biblatex* manual, in *3.5.8 Bibliography filters*, appears this
example:
*
**\defbibfilter{example}{% *
*\( \type{book} \or \type{inbook} \) *
*\and \keyword{abc} *
*\and \not \keyword{xyz}} *

And —I'm not sure— I supose it's just like

*\defbibfilter{example}{\( \type{book} \or \type{inbook} \) \and
\keyword{abc} \and \not \keyword{xyz}} *

I want to create a filter like write in this bibliography all the
references with the keyword *General*, but only those without the type *
electronic*:*
\defbibfilter{General}{\keyword{General} \and \not \type{electronic}} *

And later, where I want the bibliography

\printbibliography[filter=General]
\nocite{*}

Am I writing it correctly?

Apacite and Lyx

2009-07-21 Thread Christian Brodbeck


Hello,

I need citations according to APA standard for a thesis. Does anyone  
have experience with that?


From what information I could find, apacite would do it, but I could  
not find any information online on how to get it to work with Lyx.


Specifically, apacite seems to use different latex comands. Apacite  
requires \cite for notmal citation and \citeA for citation in text  
(parentheses only around year). However, Lyx generates either only  
\cite command (default bibliography) or \citet and \citep for natbib,  
and uses a different parenthesis structure for additional arguments.


Does anybody know a way to work around this?

In principe it seems like it should not be difficult to add the option  
to Lyx to write \citeA instead of \citep commands. I myself can only  
program python though (if that function would actually be acessible in  
python could anyone point me to where I coud find it?).

If that's all it would take, you could put
\let\citep=\citeA
in your preamble. That makes \citep a kind of alias for \citeA. If that 
doesn't work, maybe you could produce some slightly more complicated 
redefinition of \citep that would work.

Re: Apacite and Lyx

2009-07-21 Thread Christian Brodbeck

Thanks, that's a good start. Now Apacite also uses different brackets  
for comments on the reference (like e.g.) than Lyx's natbib  
( \citeApre[post]{ref} vs. \cite[pre][post] ). Is there a way to  
redefine these as well? The problem with apalike is that it does not  
quote all authors the first time an article with 2 authors is quoted.


Cheers,

Guys, Don't ask me why I need to do this but the college that I study 
is asking me to do the following modification on my document:

(Check Attached)
They don't wanna any [NUMBER] or [Auther , YEAR], they want it just 
the way the MS WORD (BRAZIL) creates bibliography.

I tried to look for custom-bib, or any other thing but I did not succeed.
DO you guys have any other idea??

It is not a problem if I could not use the \CITE, actually I will 
include the citations in my document all manually.


I'd like just to make the Bibliography part to work because I have a 
BIB file with a LOT of information there.


Thanks and regards,

Yes, but that's going to be a lot more complicated, I'm afraid. To fix 
that you'd have to redefine \cite and friends. It's probably going to be 
easier to run the tex output through a script (python, sed, whatever). 
You could do most of the work with apalike, then switch over at the very

Because if I do this, Lyx / Latex will automatically number the labels..
So I will have [1], [2], [3]
It is the default behavior ...
The following information was taken from 
http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/teTeX/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-205.html

The \bibitem command generates an entry labeled by label
If the label argument is missing, a number is generated as the label, 
using the enumiv counter 
http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/teTeX/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-3.html. 
The cite_key is a mnemonic consisting of any sequence of letters,

So, just remove the [ ] would not work as well.. :-(

In LyX 1.6, you'd need first to compile and install aiksaurus and then
compile and install LyX. (It's not something that will happen for the
standard install of LyX/Mac-1.6.x.)

Frankly, I find Dictionary.app to be much more useful as a thesaurus
than aiksaurus is.

lyx-code / scrap bug?

2009-07-21 Thread Sam Liddicott

Please could someone competent with Lyx 1.6.3 try this; create a
literate (noweb) document and have a scrap immediately follow a lyx-code
section.

In the generated .nw file (in the /tmp/lyx* dir when creating a dvi
preview) the file looks like this:

\}
\end{lyxcode}
\selectlanguage{english}%
\inputencoding{latin9}<>=
{
  NTSTATUS status;


The error being that "<>=" is the start of scrap and
should start on a new line.

I shall try and compile lyx 1.6.3 debs against the ubuntu 1.6.2 .dsc
file soon.

shortcuts: LyX & OSX side by side?

2009-07-21 Thread Joachim Osnabryg


sorry, again with changed subject (still hoping for help):

Hi LyXers, especially on Mac-OSX:

With my German keyboard on Mac-OSX normally I can get with

alt+a | d | e | o |  t | p | + | x | c | m |  l  |  ö | ä  etc.
the following special letters/symbols:
   å  | ∂ | € | ø | † | π | ± | ≈ | ç | µ | @ | œ | æ etc.

which I find very practical.

But because of the key-bindings in LyX (mac-bindings in this case, see
Help=>Keybord-Shortcuts or similar) these
usual key combinations for special characters are disabled in LyX.

Of course one can disable any key-binding in LyX (so they are not usable
at all and the system key-combinations will be in effect in LyX, too) or
create another one, which seems rather laborious and time-consuming.

I hoped I could vary the keybinding of LyX or of Mac-OSX with one ore few
steps, e. g. change from alt+x
to command+alt+x or similar to avoid this problem, but I didn't find out,
how.

Can anybody show a way to get the wanted result, i. e. holding the LyX
keybindings and
==> create other key-combinations for the special letters/symbols which in
other programs are got with alt+x?

I don't know much about German keyboards, but the easiest way I know
to change keybindings in LyX is to go through LyX > Preferences >
Editing > Shortcuts and do each one manually. (You can manually edit
the keybindings file, which is at ~/Library/Application
Support/LyX-1.6/bind/user.bind. Just make sure you have a backup to
revert any changes that don't work.) So it looks like you'll have to
do each one separately. Fortunately, it's a once-and-done thing.

Printed output (or pdf output) should use all available ligatures, if
LaTeX is correctly set up to support your font.

There is also the problem that you often don't want to index every case

this, and then automating it helps. (Advanced search & replace might
also help - e.g. replace "concept" with "concept+indexentry[concept]" 
and then hit "replace all".)


However, this is often not what you want. Students seeing an index
like "concept: 1, 3, 5 ,7 ,9-11, 15-22, 34, 86-99, 101" despair. Testing 
shows that they only look up the first few entries. In such cases, you 
index the 2-3 most important occurences. Such as the definition, an 
explanation, and perhaps an interesting example. Too much choice is not 
good. A word may be mentioned in a footnote somewhere, without  this 
being an interesting place to look for said word.

Biblatex and filters

2009-07-21 Thread Antonio Díaz

Hi all:

I'm trying to define a filter for a bibliography, but I can't do it right.
In the *Biblatex* manual, in *3.5.8 Bibliography filters*, appears this
example:
*
**\defbibfilter{example}{% *
*\( \type{book} \or \type{inbook} \) *
*\and \keyword{abc} *
*\and \not \keyword{xyz}} *

And —I'm not sure— I supose it's just like

*\defbibfilter{example}{\( \type{book} \or \type{inbook} \) \and
\keyword{abc} \and \not \keyword{xyz}} *

I want to create a filter like "write in this bibliography all the
references with the keyword *General*, but only those without the type *
electronic*":*
\defbibfilter{General}{\keyword{General} \and \not \type{electronic}} *

And later, where I want the bibliography

\printbibliography[filter=General]
\nocite{*}

Am I writing it correctly?

Regards

Antonio

FYI, I asked for this in the following thread:

Still have a doubt, though.  Do I still have to use the xr package if I

Apacite and Lyx

2009-07-21 Thread Christian Brodbeck


Hello,

I need citations according to APA standard for a thesis. Does anyone  
have experience with that?


From what information I could find, apacite would do it, but I could  
not find any information online on how to get it to work with Lyx.


Specifically, apacite seems to use different latex comands. Apacite  
requires \cite for notmal citation and \citeA for citation in text  
(parentheses only around year). However, Lyx generates either only  
\cite command (default bibliography) or \citet and \citep for natbib,  
and uses a different parenthesis structure for additional arguments.


Does anybody know a way to work around this?

In principe it seems like it should not be difficult to add the option  
to Lyx to write \citeA instead of \citep commands. I myself can only  
program python though (if that function would actually be acessible in  
python could anyone point me to where I coud find it?).

Christian

If that's all it would take, you could put
\let\citep=\citeA
in your preamble. That makes \citep a kind of alias for \citeA. If that 
doesn't work, maybe you could produce some slightly more complicated 
redefinition of \citep that would work.


That said, did you try choosing apalike as your citation style? I don't 
know how close that will get you


Right now, producing new bibliography formats is kind of complicated. I 
have been meaning to work on that, but have had too much else to do.

( \citeA[post]{ref} vs. \cite[pre][post] ). Is there a way to  
redefine these as well? The problem with apalike is that it does not  
quote all authors the first time an article with >2 authors is quoted.


Cheers,
Christian

Hello,

I need citations according to APA standard for a thesis. Does  
anyone have experience with that?


From what information I could find, apacite would do it, but I  
could not find any information online on how to get it to work with  
Lyx.


Specifically, apacite seems to use different latex comands. Apacite  
requires \cite for notmal citation and \citeA for citation in text  
(parentheses only around year). However, Lyx generates either only  
\cite command (default bibliography) or \citet and \citep for  
natbib, and uses a different parenthesis structure for additional  
arguments.


Does anybody know a way to work around this?

In principe it seems like it should not be difficult to add the  
option to Lyx to write \citeA instead of \citep commands. I myself  
can only program python though (if that function would actually be  
acessible in python could anyone point me to where I coud find it?).



If that's all it would take, you could put
\let\citep=\citeA
in your preamble. That makes \citep a kind of alias for \citeA. If  
that doesn't work, maybe you could produce some slightly more  
complicated redefinition of \citep that would work.


That said, did you try choosing apalike as your citation style? I  
don't know how close that will get you


Right now, producing new bibliography formats is kind of  
complicated. I have been meaning to work on that, but have had too  
much else to do.

new info Custom-Bib / Lyx / Bibliography / Customize

2009-07-21 Thread Marcelo Reis

I was able to do some Workaround, but there is some things and steps 
missing.Maybe you can help me
I was able to create the bibliography just with []   (NO INFORMATION 
INSIDE the *square brackets*).


I changed the BST file from :

FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
 "\bibitem[" write$
 label write$
 "]{" write$
 cite$ write$
 "}" write$
 newline$
 ""
 before.all 'output.state :=
}


TO:


FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
 "\bibitem[" write$
 ""
 "]{" write$
 cite$ write$
 "}" write$
 newline$
 ""
 before.all 'output.state :=
}

IDEAS of how to remove  the *square brackets*???
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Marcelo

Guys, Don't ask me why I need to do this but the college that I study is 
asking me to do the following modification on my document:

(Check Attached)
They don't wanna any [NUMBER] or [Auther , YEAR], they want it just the 
way the MS WORD (BRAZIL) creates bibliography.

I tried to look for custom-bib, or any other thing but I did not succeed.
DO you guys have any other idea??

It is not a problem if I could not use the \CITE, actually I will 
include the citations in my document all manually.


I'd like just to make the Bibliography part to work because I have a BIB 
file with a LOT of information there.


Thanks and regards,

Marcelo

Why not just take them out? I.e.:

FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
 "\bibitem" write$
 ""
 "{" write$
 cite$ write$
 "}" write$
 newline$
 ""
 before.all 'output.state :=

or more simply:

FUNCTION {output.bibitem}
{ newline$
 "\bibitem{" write$
 cite$ write$
 "}" write$
 newline$
 ""
 before.all 'output.state :=

Yes, but that's going to be a lot more complicated, I'm afraid. To fix 
that you'd have to redefine \cite and friends. It's probably going to be 
easier to run the tex output through a script (python, sed, whatever). 
You could do most of the work with apalike, then switch over at the very 
end.

Because if I do this, Lyx / Latex will automatically number the labels..
So I will have [1], [2], [3]
It is the default behavior ...
The following information was taken from 
http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/teTeX/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-205.html

The \bibitem command generates an entry labeled by label
If the label argument is missing, a number is generated as the label, 
using the enumiv counter 
. 
The cite_key is a mnemonic consisting of any sequence of letters, 
numbers, and punctuation symbols not containing a comma.



So, just remove the "[" "]" would not work as well.. :-(
Other solutions??

In LyX 1.6, you'd need first to compile and install aiksaurus and then
compile and install LyX. (It's not something that will happen for the
standard install of LyX/Mac-1.6.x.)

Frankly, I find Dictionary.app to be much more useful as a thesaurus
than aiksaurus is.
