Insert grayed-out text via keyboard shortcut

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I would like to insert greyed-out text via a keyboard shortcut. Linked
CTRL-G to inserting a greyed-out comment, but I still have to enter the tex,
which should be REF.
As I am doing that quite regularly, I would like to insert the text REF in
a greyed-out comment via a shortcut. Is this possible, or do I have to
create my own module for that? If yes how?

Thanks,

Rainer

Question concerning own defined module

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I created the following module (REF.module):


#\DeclareLyXModule{REF}
#DescriptionBegin
#Inserts Greyedout comment, reading REF
#DescriptionEnd
# Author: Rainer M Krug rai...@krugs.de

Format 11

InsetLayout REF
LyXType   custom
LabelString   REF
LatexType command
LatexName textcolor{red}{(REF):}
Decorationclassic
LabelFont
  Color   red
  SizeLarge
  Series  Bold
EndFont
OptionalArgs  1
MultiPar  false
End

But I would like to have the text which I enter also to be red (and possibly
also changed to bold). How can I achieve this?

Thanks,

Rainer

Yes. Look for the description of command-sequence.

Adding inset to List layout

[Teemu Rajala]

Hi,

if for example ERT Inset with more than one paragraph is inserted into the
second column of List layout (not into the label column) an extra paragraph
break is inserted above the inset. Is this intended behaviour in LyX? Is it
possible to get rid of it? The problem might in setting the paragraph width to
maximum at List label column (and maybe twice).

Weird space after Justified line break.

[Piero]

Hello,

I use report-koma class with LyX 1.6.4
Some of my quotations are just the prolonging phrase I began in mine words.
To make an example, this is what a guy called a very elegant way of quoting.
 For longer quotations in a separate quotation enviroment,
 I would like to do the same
 but if the last line of standard enviroment text is not 
justified, it will become definitely not elegant.
That's the reason I tried to use Justified line break
at the end of last line of standard environment,
 which sometimes works well (sometimes it simple doesn't 
work at all, leaving a single word in the last line)
but always - and this is today's issue -
add an unwanted additional space between the 2 environments.
In the LaTeX preview it doesn't show any additional space,
 so maybe it is a LaTeX issue.
Is there a manner to regain this extra space (maybe insert a negative space?)
One more question: how can I anyway reduce space
 between standard and quotation 
enviroments? (there's too much space, sometimes)
And how to have the Justified LB always work without
 leaving single words or even 
single hyphenated pieces of word in the very last line?

Thanks all!

Re: Kluwer doc class: title and author not showing up

[Maria Gouskova]

 The Kluwer layout didn't have much attention for several years, so it is well
 possible that it needs some update.

 However, did you have a look at the Kluwer template that ships with LyX? It
 uses some ERT in the author paragraph (nowadays, one could update the layout
 and implement character style insets for this).

Yep, the template works. Thanks!

2009/10/24 Mats Andrén mats.and...@ling.lu.se:
  

Sorry to be spamming but after sending my post I realized that it was a
bit strange of me not to try what would happen without the multicols
begin/end-pair, and just call \printauthorindex. When I remove the multi
column stuff, no extra two pages are generated, which should probably be
relevant for you people...

But the main problem remains, of course.



What I can tell you about LyX is that it cannot run additional scripts
during LaTeX processing yet. And probably will not, as I it should
assume you have perl installed on your machine, which is often a
problem on Macs or Windows.

There are possible solutions to create your own converter calling the
perl script after first latex run. But you have then define your own
format, for example 'pdflatex (authorindex)'.

  

Thank you very much for the reply!

This is precisely what I was hoping for. (I do have perl installed on my 
Mac.) However, it is not clear to me how to get the authorindex script 
running by making a converter. When I got XeTeX running in LyX I made a 
converter, so I have a vague idea how converters work in LyX, but in 
that case I just followed instructions that were available and I can't 
say that I understand more precisely what to type in ther in order to 
make it call authorindex. Can I just add something to the field called 
Converter (currently saying xelatex $$i)? What should I write there?


The authorindex script is supposed to have the .aux file produced by 
latex as argument.


Thanks again!

Mats

Re: generating {|} in math mode

[Siegfried Meunier-Guttin-Cluzel]

how do I generate a group definition such as
{ x | x  0 }
with variable height braces? I can create the outside braces using left\{ and 
right\} (or matching braces from the braces menu) but the central one doesn't 
fit it, and if I add a | with a matching empty left or right element the sizes 
don't match
You can use vphantom to put an invisible big element between your | and 
the empty right element ( see math manual for an example ).

I've followed the patient tips and advices Charles gave:
- I've installed csquotes package, and newer biblatex one (Ubuntu

- I've taken away useless lines in the manual pramble.

My best idea is that there could be a conflict with the \lipsum package. I have

I've had no trouble on that machine or on my Linux box.

The only times I run into issues are when I try to turn documents I've already
written into Tufte-book files, but even then it's a matter of tracking down each
individual incompatible command in the file.

Is it possible that \lipsum uses commands that are not compatible with Tufte?
You might try creating a fake document from scratch and see if it works.

Let us know how that goes.

Lost Logo in Beamer Class Presentation ... Again

this coming Friday. Once again the logo does not display in the lower right
corner of each slide. I no longer have thread from last April, but I copied

Re: Tufte-book Layout File

 I'm not the one who can help with that. But I tried to run LyX with your 
layout file (I had the
 LaTeX tufte-book.cls already installed before), only with a \lipsum text, but 
without success.
 (LyX  stopped the document compiling.)

I revised Jason's layout file and the version you find here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-book#sLayouts.Tufte-book_2
as Tufte-book proposal
will be included in the next LyX version. Can you please test it?

 Nevertheless:
 It produced an pdf-output into the tmp subdirectory of LyX, with:

 A U T O R Y
 T I T E L X == on the 1st page, and the
 Lorem ipsum … … == text on the following pages.

This is independent of the layout file. The layout file only provides information how LyX should 
display environments and it defines new insets and character styles.

Moreover, I cannot reproduce this problem.

 For the case, that it might help you or other developers of an LyX-layout for 
the tufte-book.cls,
 or if someone can give me a hint, what's going wrong in my LyX, I report here 
the rest:

 Within the LyX program window I got the LaTeX errors:
 -
 LaTeX Error: Command \cplabel already defined.
 LaTeX Error: Command \adjustwidth already defined.
 ---

This is a problem wit LaTeX, not with the layout file because the layout file don't define or 
redefine any LaTeX command.

To be able to help you, can you please provide a LyX example file?

Thank you for your endeavor, Jason, but the \lipsum package cannot be the  
reason because, without using it, the result is similar.


Given that your tufte-book.layout is working in your similar computer  
setup, and that the tufte-book.cls is working on my machine with LaTeX  
(TeXShop), it's rather myterious for me where the reason for the  
misfunction might be, in my context.


By the way, in the same manner runs your kindly provided  
tuftebooksample.lyx: LyX ends with the same - and some more - LaTeX  
errors, but in the tmp-dir the pdf is produced, I suppose correct.


It would be interesting to hear from some others, especially with  
intel-Macs, wether the tufte-book.layout runs well in their LyX!

  Hi,
 
  You could try looking at the log files that are generated with each
  run of pdflatex. That can pin point the exact point where the
  conversion fails.
  I had a similar problem, and the log files helped a lot.

Question concerning own defined module

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I created the following module (REF.module):


#\DeclareLyXModule{REF}
#DescriptionBegin
#Inserts Greyedout comment, reading REF
#DescriptionEnd
# Author: Rainer M Krug rai...@krugs.de

Format 11

InsetLayout REF
LyXType   custom
LabelString   REF
LatexType command
LatexName textcolor{red}{(REF):}
Decorationclassic
LabelFont
  Color   red
  SizeLarge
  Series  Bold
EndFont
OptionalArgs  1
MultiPar  false
End

But I would like to have the text which I enter also to be red (and possibly
also changed to bold). How can I achieve this?

Thanks,

Rainer

one just has to remember, that only one command can be entered at the time -

Adding inset to List layout

[Teemu Rajala]

Hi,

if for example ERT Inset with more than one paragraph is inserted into the
second column of List layout (not into the label column) an extra paragraph
break is inserted above the inset. Is this intended behaviour in LyX? Is it
possible to get rid of it? The problem might in setting the paragraph width to
maximum at List label column (and maybe twice).

Weird space after Justified line break.

[Piero]

Hello,

I use report-koma class with LyX 1.6.4
Some of my quotations are just the prolonging phrase I began in mine words.
To make an example, this is what a guy called a very elegant way of quoting.
 For longer quotations in a separate quotation enviroment,
 I would like to do the same
 but if the last line of standard enviroment text is not 
justified, it will become definitely not elegant.
That's the reason I tried to use Justified line break
at the end of last line of standard environment,
 which sometimes works well (sometimes it simple doesn't 
work at all, leaving a single word in the last line)
but always - and this is today's issue -
add an unwanted additional space between the 2 environments.
In the LaTeX preview it doesn't show any additional space,
 so maybe it is a LaTeX issue.
Is there a manner to regain this extra space (maybe insert a negative space?)
One more question: how can I anyway reduce space
 between standard and quotation 
enviroments? (there's too much space, sometimes)
And how to have the Justified LB always work without
 leaving single words or even 
single hyphenated pieces of word in the very last line?

Thanks all!

Re: Kluwer doc class: title and author not showing up

[Maria Gouskova]

 The Kluwer layout didn't have much attention for several years, so it is well
 possible that it needs some update.

 However, did you have a look at the Kluwer template that ships with LyX? It
 uses some ERT in the author paragraph (nowadays, one could update the layout
 and implement character style insets for this).

Yep, the template works. Thanks!

Re: authorindex in LyX?

Manveru wrote:

2009/10/24 Mats Andrén mats.and...@ling.lu.se:
  

Sorry to be spamming but after sending my post I realized that it was a
bit strange of me not to try what would happen without the multicols
begin/end-pair, and just call \printauthorindex. When I remove the multi
column stuff, no extra two pages are generated, which should probably be
relevant for you people...

But the main problem remains, of course.



What I can tell you about LyX is that it cannot run additional scripts
during LaTeX processing yet. And probably will not, as I it should
assume you have perl installed on your machine, which is often a
problem on Macs or Windows.

There are possible solutions to create your own converter calling the
perl script after first latex run. But you have then define your own
format, for example 'pdflatex (authorindex)'.

  

Thank you very much for the reply!

This is precisely what I was hoping for. (I do have perl installed on my 
Mac.) However, it is not clear to me how to get the authorindex script 
running by making a converter. When I got XeTeX running in LyX I made a 
converter, so I have a vague idea how converters work in LyX, but in 
that case I just followed instructions that were available and I can't 
say that I understand more precisely what to type in ther in order to 
make it call authorindex. Can I just add something to the field called 
Converter (currently saying xelatex $$i)? What should I write there?


The authorindex script is supposed to have the .aux file produced by 
latex as argument.


Thanks again!

Best,
Mats

Re: generating {|} in math mode

[Siegfried Meunier-Guttin-Cluzel]

how do I generate a group definition such as
{ x | x  0 }
with variable height braces? I can create the outside braces using left\{ and 
right\} (or matching braces from the braces menu) but the central one doesn't 
fit it, and if I add a | with a matching empty left or right element the sizes 
don't match
You can use vphantom to put an invisible big element between your | and 
the empty right element ( see math manual for an example ).

Re: something wrong with biblatex [solved]

At last, it works!
I've followed the patient tips and advices Charles gave:
- I've installed csquotes package, and newer biblatex one (Ubuntu

- I've taken away useless lines in the manual pramble.

Thanks a lot, Charles. A mystery remains: I think I've made exactly the

My best idea is that there could be a conflict with the \lipsum package. I have

I've had no trouble on that machine or on my Linux box.

The only times I run into issues are when I try to turn documents I've already
written into Tufte-book files, but even then it's a matter of tracking down each
individual incompatible command in the file.

Is it possible that \lipsum uses commands that are not compatible with Tufte?
You might try creating a fake document from scratch and see if it works.

Let us know how that goes.

Lost Logo in Beamer Class Presentation ... Again

[Rich Shepard]

  I've just finished the visuals for a meeting keynote talk I'm presenting
this coming Friday. Once again the logo does not display in the lower right
corner of each slide. I no longer have thread from last April, but I copied

one. The .pdf logo does not display in either xpdf or acroread.

  Any ideas on what might be going on or where I should look for a reason?

Re: Tufte-book Layout File

 I'm not the one who can help with that. But I tried to run LyX with your 
layout file (I had the
 LaTeX tufte-book.cls already installed before), only with a \lipsum text, but 
without success.
 (LyX  stopped the document compiling.)

I revised Jason's layout file and the version you find here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-book#sLayouts.Tufte-book_2
as Tufte-book proposal
will be included in the next LyX version. Can you please test it?

 Nevertheless:
 It produced an pdf-output into the tmp subdirectory of LyX, with:

 A U T O R Y
 T I T E L X == on the 1st page, and the
 Lorem ipsum … … == text on the following pages.

This is independent of the layout file. The layout file only provides information how LyX should 
display environments and it defines new insets and character styles.

Moreover, I cannot reproduce this problem.

 For the case, that it might help you or other developers of an LyX-layout for 
the tufte-book.cls,
 or if someone can give me a hint, what's going wrong in my LyX, I report here 
the rest:

 Within the LyX program window I got the LaTeX errors:
 -
 LaTeX Error: Command \cplabel already defined.
 LaTeX Error: Command \adjustwidth already defined.
 ---

This is a problem wit LaTeX, not with the layout file because the layout file don't define or 
redefine any LaTeX command.

To be able to help you, can you please provide a LyX example file?

Thank you for your endeavor, Jason, but the \lipsum package cannot be the  
reason because, without using it, the result is similar.


Given that your tufte-book.layout is working in your similar computer  
setup, and that the tufte-book.cls is working on my machine with LaTeX  
(TeXShop), it's rather myterious for me where the reason for the  
misfunction might be, in my context.


By the way, in the same manner runs your kindly provided  
tuftebooksample.lyx: LyX ends with the same - and some more - LaTeX  
errors, but in the tmp-dir the pdf is produced, I suppose correct.


It would be interesting to hear from some others, especially with

Insert grayed-out text via keyboard shortcut

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I would like to insert greyed-out text via a keyboard shortcut. Linked
CTRL-G to inserting a greyed-out comment, but I still have to enter the tex,
which should be REF.
As I am doing that quite regularly, I would like to insert "the text REF in
a greyed-out comment" via a shortcut. Is this possible, or do I have to
create my own module for that? If yes how?

Thanks,

Rainer

But I would like to have the text which I enter also to be red (and possibly

Yes. Look for the description of command-sequence.
This should also be described on http://wiki.lyx.org.

Hint: before binding, try the command (or command sequence) from the
minbuffer (keybinding M-x, i.e. Alt x).

one just has to remember, that only one command can be entered at the time -

Thanks for that, but I wanted to have the TEXT in bold. I figured it out:

#Inserts Greyedout comment, reading REF

Format 11

InsetLayout REF
LyXType   custom

Hi,

Adding inset to List layout

[Teemu Rajala]

Hi,

if for example ERT Inset with more than one paragraph is inserted into the
second column of List layout (not into the label column) an extra paragraph
break is inserted above the inset. Is this intended behaviour in LyX? Is it
possible to get rid of it? The problem might in setting the paragraph width to
maximum at List label column (and maybe twice).

Weird space after Justified line break.

[Piero]

Hello,

I use report-koma class with LyX 1.6.4
Some of my quotations are just the prolonging phrase I began in mine words.
To make an example, this is what a guy called "a very elegant way of quoting".
 For longer quotations in a separate quotation enviroment,
 I would like to do the same
 but if the last line of standard enviroment text is not 
justified, it will become definitely not elegant.
That's the reason I tried to use "Justified line break"
at the end of last line of standard environment,
 which sometimes works well (sometimes it simple doesn't 
work at all, leaving a single word in the last line)
but always - and this is today's issue -
add an unwanted additional space between the 2 environments.
In the LaTeX preview it doesn't show any additional space,
 so maybe it is a LaTeX issue.
Is there a manner to regain this extra space (maybe insert a negative space?)
One more question: how can I anyway reduce space
 between standard and quotation 
enviroments? (there's too much space, sometimes)
And how to have the Justified LB always work without
 leaving single words or even 
single hyphenated pieces of word in the very last line?

Thanks all!

2009/10/24 Mats Andrén :
  

Sorry to be "spamming" but after sending my post I realized that it was a
bit strange of me not to try what would happen without the multicols
begin/end-pair, and just call \printauthorindex. When I remove the multi
column stuff, no extra two pages are generated, which should probably be
relevant for you people...

But the main problem remains, of course.



What I can tell you about LyX is that it cannot run additional scripts
during LaTeX processing yet. And probably will not, as I it should
assume you have perl installed on your machine, which is often a
problem on Macs or Windows.

There are possible solutions to create your own converter calling the
perl script after first latex run. But you have then define your own
format, for example 'pdflatex (authorindex)'.

  

Thank you very much for the reply!

This is precisely what I was hoping for. (I do have perl installed on my 
Mac.) However, it is not clear to me how to get the authorindex script 
running by making a converter. When I got XeTeX running in LyX I made a 
converter, so I have a vague idea how converters work in LyX, but in 
that case I just followed instructions that were available and I can't 
say that I understand more precisely what to type in ther in order to 
make it call authorindex. Can I just add something to the field called 
"Converter" (currently saying "xelatex $$i")? What should I write there?


The authorindex script is supposed to have the .aux file produced by 
latex as argument.


Thanks again!

Best,
Mats

Re: generating {|} in math mode

[Siegfried Meunier-Guttin-Cluzel]

how do I generate a group definition such as
{ x | x > 0 }
with variable height braces? I can create the outside braces using left\{ and 
right\} (or matching braces from the braces menu) but the central one doesn't 
fit it, and if I add a | with a matching empty left or right element the sizes 
don't match
You can use vphantom to put an invisible big element between your | and 
the empty right element ( see math manual for an example ).

Re: something wrong with biblatex [solved]

At last, it works!
I've followed the patient tips and advices Charles gave:
- I've installed csquotes package, and newer biblatex one (Ubuntu 
repositories charges the texlive 2007, which is updated);

- I've taken away useless lines in the manual pramble.

Thanks a lot, Charles. A mystery remains: I think I've made exactly the

well with a tex file made with Texmaker, but not with a Lyx one. So I

My best idea is that there could be a conflict with the \lipsum package. I have
a similar computer setup to yours (Mac with Leopard -- though mine is a PPC).
I've had no trouble on that machine or on my Linux box.

The only times I run into issues are when I try to turn documents I've already
written into Tufte-book files, but even then it's a matter of tracking down each
individual incompatible command in the file.

Is it possible that \lipsum uses commands that are not compatible with Tufte?
You might try creating a fake document from scratch and see if it works.

Let us know how that goes.

Lost Logo in Beamer Class Presentation ... Again

[Rich Shepard]

  I've just finished the visuals for a meeting keynote talk I'm presenting
this coming Friday. Once again the logo does not display in the lower right
corner of each slide. I no longer have thread from last April, but I copied
that presentation (where it finally worked) to use as the template for this
one. The .pdf logo does not display in either xpdf or acroread.

  Any ideas on what might be going on or where I should look for a reason?

I revised Jason's layout file and the version you find here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Tufte-book#sLayouts.Tufte-book_2
as "Tufte-book proposal"
will be included in the next LyX version. Can you please test it?

This is independent of the layout file. The layout file only provides information how LyX should 
display environments and it defines new insets and character styles.

Moreover, I cannot reproduce this problem.

This is a problem wit LaTeX, not with the layout file because the layout file don't define or 
redefine any LaTeX command.

To be able to help you, can you please provide a LyX example file?

Thank you for your endeavor, Jason, but the \lipsum package cannot be the  
reason because, without using it, the result is similar.


Given that your tufte-book.layout is working in your similar computer  
setup, and that the tufte-book.cls is working on my machine with LaTeX  
(TeXShop), it's rather myterious for me where the reason for the  
misfunction might be, in my context.


By the way, in the same manner runs your kindly provided  
tuftebooksample.lyx: LyX ends with the same - and some more - LaTeX  
errors, but in the tmp-dir the pdf is produced, I suppose correct.


It would be interesting to hear from some others, especially with  
intel-Macs, wether the tufte-book.layout runs well in their LyX!
