Hi Steve,

have you tried using minipages instead? In my experience they tend to  
be less fragile than tables. I have never tried 3 columns (just 2 so  
far), but that shouldn't matter. Just insert 3 minipages side by side  
with a width of 33% \textwidth and a \hfill in between.

Beamer and custom enumeration

[Andy Cheesman]

Dear People

I'm trying to create custom enumeration using Beamer and Lyx on a few slides
I would like some like the example below as well as other options.
H1
H2
H3

However, all the online references suggest something like
\renewcommand{\theenumi}{\alph{enumi} or

\bgroup
\renewcommand\theenumi{(\alph{enumi})}
\renewcommand\labelenumi{\theenumi}

 these Lyx errores with theenumi, \labelenumi being undefined

What am I missing?

Using a custom style in Lyx1.6.5

[Nick Gaens]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently trying to tex2lyx the file instructions.tex, which can 
be found here: http://www.acm.org/publications/latex_style/, but I'm 
having a hard time adding the files acmtrans2m.cls and acmtrans.bst 
to my Lyx installation folder.


I'm using Lyx1.6.5 on Windows XP. I also have a MikTeX2.7 directory.

So my question is: where to put the above mentioned .cls file? What 
about the .bst file?


Can someone give me a short set of instructions I need to execute in 
order to make this work?


Thanks in advance,

Nick

You can keep the LaTeX documentclass files in the TEXPATH but for this to
work you need a LyX layout file. This (and how to write one) is explained
in the Customization manual (HelpCustomization).

 What about the .bst file?

This should just work.

And, unfortunately, this class does not seem to be based on any other 
class. Still, the basic environments provided look a lot like 
article.cls, so you could try copying article.layout to your local 
layout directory, renaming it to acmtrans2m.layout, and then changing 
the configuration line to read: \DeclareLaTeXClass{acmtrans2m}. That 
might get you 95% of the way.

Help with configuring BibTex in Lyx

My name is Greg and I have been a Lyx user for some time now.  I am running
Ubuntu 8.04 and LyX version 1.5.3.  I am trying to get started using BibTex

[?] in my documents when I generate pdf's from Lyx.  So far, here is what I
have done: I have set the BIBINPUTS and BSTINPUTS environment variables to
the folder where I keep my bib files.  I created a Bibtex file and inserted
it into Lyx with Insert--List/TOC--BibTex Bibliography.  A gray box
appears in my document that says BibTeX Generated Bibliography, and when I
go to put in citations, the keys that I have in my bibtex file appear, and I
can put in citations that are in the .bib file. However, when I click the
generate pdf button, the citations only come up as [?] in the document.   I
suspect that my problem may be that my TEXINPUTS variable is not set.  I am
not sure what to set it to.  I believe the Latex packages I have installed
are texlive.  Could you possibly help me get Bibtex working? Thank you so

Layout file for ASME conference paper

[Zack Norwood]

Hello Lyx users.  I'd like to format a paper I wrote in Lyx for an ASME
conference publication.  The ASME provides a latex template, so I'm trying
to use that template file in Lyx using Mac OSX 10.5 and Lyx version 1.6.5

and asme2e.bst files to Library/texmf/tex/latex/asme in my local users home
directory.  I then ran a texhash from the admin account to include the latex
file.  So, my question is, it appears Lyx now requires a layout file.
 Unfortunately, I have no experience writing these, and the asme2e.cls file
doesn't appear to have a base class, which makes this process difficult from
what I can tell reading part 5 of the Lyx Customization manual.  So, does
anyone have an existing asme2e.layout file or can you point me to someone
that does...or am I misunderstanding the apparent difficulty of writing
a layout file from scratch?  The relevant files for the template can be

Ross Moore (Maths dept, McQuarrie University) had fixed the bug in
latex2html which was bodging tables. Unfortunately this fix was not
carried through into some Linux distros.
Current and  recent versions of  OpenSUSE  have incorporated the fix
into their downloads.
 
The fix is quite simple and the patch is as follows:

The latex2html program is a perl script. The patch needed is:


-- latex2html 2006-01-13 17:48:27.0 +1300

+++ /usr/bin/latex2html 2005-03-23 06:49:49.0 +1200

  if (($VERBOSITY1)  $replacements);

The line prefixed with the + must be inserted into the latex2html script.

Ross Moore (Maths dept, McQuarrie University) had fixed the bug in
latex2html which was bodging tables. Unfortunately this fix was not
carried through into some Linux distros.
Current and  recent versions of  OpenSUSE  have incorporated the fix
into their downloads.
 
The fix is quite simple and the patch is as follows:

The latex2html program is a perl script. The patch needed is:

  if (($VERBOSITY1)  $replacements);

The line prefixed with the + must be inserted into the latex2html script.

So far so good.

It could be some error in your *.bib database file.
Try with a minimal example.
Try with FileExportLaTeX and running

on the *.tex file by hand and watch the output.

Hi Steve,

have you tried using minipages instead? In my experience they tend to  
be less fragile than tables. I have never tried 3 columns (just 2 so  
far), but that shouldn't matter. Just insert 3 minipages side by side  
with a width of 33% \textwidth and a \hfill in between.

Beamer and custom enumeration

[Andy Cheesman]

Dear People

I'm trying to create custom enumeration using Beamer and Lyx on a few slides
I would like some like the example below as well as other options.
H1
H2
H3

However, all the online references suggest something like
\renewcommand{\theenumi}{\alph{enumi} or

\bgroup
\renewcommand\theenumi{(\alph{enumi})}
\renewcommand\labelenumi{\theenumi}

 these Lyx errores with theenumi, \labelenumi being undefined

What am I missing?

Using a custom style in Lyx1.6.5

[Nick Gaens]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently trying to "tex2lyx" the file instructions.tex, which can 
be found here: http://www.acm.org/publications/latex_style/, but I'm 
having a hard time adding the files "acmtrans2m.cls" and "acmtrans.bst" 
to my Lyx installation folder.


I'm using Lyx1.6.5 on Windows XP. I also have a MikTeX2.7 directory.

So my question is: where to put the above mentioned .cls file? What 
about the .bst file?


Can someone give me a short set of instructions I need to execute in 
order to make this work?


Thanks in advance,

Nick

To add some additional information about the error I'm getting:

You can keep the LaTeX documentclass files in the TEXPATH but for this to
work you need a LyX layout file. This (and how to write one) is explained
in the Customization manual (Help>Customization).

This should "just work".

And, unfortunately, this class does not seem to be based on any other 
class. Still, the basic environments provided look a lot like 
article.cls, so you could try copying article.layout to your local 
layout directory, renaming it to acmtrans2m.layout, and then changing 
the configuration line to read: \DeclareLaTeXClass{acmtrans2m}. That 
might get you 95% of the way.

Does the following (in your document preamble) achieve what you want?

\setbeamertemplate{enumerate item}{H\insertenumlabel}

Thanks Daniel,

Yeah, I tried a minipage containing three minipages just before I wrote the 
original email. It walked waay off the right side of the page.

Hmmm, but I didn't try the textwidth and hfill. Where would I place the 
\textwidth, and how would I back it out once all these triples are complete?

Thanks

Hello.

See the attached files lyx and tex. I began with the tex file and then this

\renewcommand{\tablename}{Table} is because I work in spanish language.

Help with configuring BibTex in Lyx

[Gregory Toole]

Hello,
My name is Greg and I have been a Lyx user for some time now.  I am running
Ubuntu 8.04 and LyX version 1.5.3.  I am trying to get started using BibTex
in Lyx, but I am running into some problems.  The citations only come up as
[?] in my documents when I generate pdf's from Lyx.  So far, here is what I
have done: I have set the BIBINPUTS and BSTINPUTS environment variables to
the folder where I keep my bib files.  I created a Bibtex file and inserted
it into Lyx with Insert-->List/TOC-->BibTex Bibliography.  A gray box
appears in my document that says "BibTeX Generated Bibliography", and when I
go to put in citations, the keys that I have in my bibtex file appear, and I
can put in citations that are in the .bib file. However, when I click the
generate pdf button, the citations only come up as [?] in the document.   I
suspect that my problem may be that my TEXINPUTS variable is not set.  I am
not sure what to set it to.  I believe the Latex packages I have installed
are texlive.  Could you possibly help me get Bibtex working? Thank you so
much!
Sincerely,

Layout file for ASME conference paper

[Zack Norwood]

Hello Lyx users.  I'd like to format a paper I wrote in Lyx for an ASME
conference publication.  The ASME provides a latex template, so I'm trying
to use that template file in Lyx using Mac OSX 10.5 and Lyx version 1.6.5
with TexLive2009.  So far I have copied the provided asme2e.bib, asme2e.cls,
and asme2e.bst files to Library/texmf/tex/latex/asme in my local users home
directory.  I then ran a texhash from the admin account to include the latex
file.  So, my question is, it appears Lyx now requires a layout file.
 Unfortunately, I have no experience writing these, and the asme2e.cls file
doesn't appear to have a base class, which makes this process difficult from
what I can tell reading part 5 of the Lyx Customization manual.  So, does
anyone have an existing asme2e.layout file or can you point me to someone
that does...or am I misunderstanding the apparent difficulty of writing
a layout file from scratch?  The relevant files for the template can be
found here:
http://iel.ucdavis.edu/code/ASME/conf-1.7b.html

thank you very much for any potential advice you could give,

It could be some error in your *.bib database file.
Try with a minimal example.
Try with File>Export>LaTeX and running 
 latex

on the *.tex file "by hand" and watch the output.
