Dear Louis, this command is not Biblatex's, but Bibtex's. The style of your

problem with section numbering

[Lisa Deutscher]

hello everyone

I am writing a thesis with lyx that consists of different parts which 
are divided into several sections etc.


I would like the first section of each part to start with 1.
without any interference of mine, the numbering would be continuous as 
in: part I, section 1, section 2; part II, section 3, sect 4 etc.
I could help this by adding \setcounter{section}{1} after the first 
section of every part.
Now it figures correctly in the Table of contents, also the subsections 
and following sections are numbered correctly.
BUT the numbering of the first sections themselves within the text is 
all wrong. example:
part I, section 1, section 2; part II, section 3, subsection 1.1, 
section 2, section 3 etc


any ideas how to mend this?

Problem with a graph and its title

[Mike Bonhoff]

Hallo,

I wanna make a graph and give it a title, say name. I think this name is 
written under the graph normally. So I think creating a figure must be the 
right thing.

So I clicked Insert-Float-figure and gave the figure the name and inserted 
the graph.

But I have 2 problems:

1st: The name is centered, that means in the middle of the paper to the left 
and right. On the other hand, my figure is on the left side.

I don't know how I can center the figure, too. I read the handbook (German 
version) and there were some hints, especially for importing existing figures, 
but not a lot of hints how to create such a figure by yourself.

2nd: I wanted to create an undirected graph and choose to do it with an 
x-y-pic-matrix with this code within the math mode:

\xymatrix{a\dir[dr]bc\\def}

That creates an xy-pic-matrix with 2 rows (because of the \\ command) and 3 
rows (because of the 2-times  command).
\dir[dr] makes an arc to the element which is one step below (d for down) and 
one element to the right (r for right). I used to write \dir@{-}[dr] instead of 
\dir[dr] because that made an undirected edge instead of an arc. But that 
doesn't work anymore; I don't know why.

Is there a better way to do that, for example with tikz, and is it easy to use 
that within lyx? If not, how can I create simple edges in that 
xy-pic-environment and place the title under the figure.

Thanks!

This extract:
% increase link area for cross-references and autoname them
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\ref}[1]{\mbox{\autoref{#1

from your preamble is an old trick to change the normal reference 
format, which appear as reference in the cross-ref dialog of LyX, 
into named references. Named references are now supported by LyX so it 
is no longer necessary to use this trick. Simply use the Formatted 
reference format in the cross-ref dialog. We should probably remove 
this trick from places where it is used in LyX's docs and templates.


Named references are provided by one of these latex packages: either 
prettyref or refstyle. This is configurable in the Doucment class 
options.


Using prettyref you can write in your preamble:
\newrefformat{fig}{Fig.~\ref{#1}}

If you are using hyperref and you want the Fig. part to be clickable 
also, instead use this:

\newrefformat{fig}{\hyperref[#1]{Fig.~\ref*{#1}}}

I do not know at the moment how to customize refstyle, but it should 
be possible to do so in a similar way.


Refstyle supports figure-naming natively, so no new refformat needs to 
be declared. By default, it gives figure~\ref{#1} (or whatever is 
appropriate to the language). If you want to change this, then the easy 
way is just to change the definition of \RSfigtxt, e.g.:

\def\RSfigtex{fig.~}
New reference formats can be defined as follows:
\newref{prop}{refcmd = {proposition \ref{#1}}
So prettyref's
\newrefformat{pfx}{...}
becomes:
\newref{pfx}{refcmd={...}}
This won't get you the range support, plurals and so forth, but LyX 
doesn't yet support those anyway.


Note that you can also use \newref to redefine things refstyle defines 
by default.

there is a better way to do this. In your preamble, put:

This tells LaTeX to reset the section counter every time the part

 Hello lyx users:

 My question is not specific to lyx but as I use lyx as a latex frontend I
 guess it is appropriate to ask it here.

 I would like to make a specific page numbering style in the footer,
 something like:

  page-number ---

 A horizontal line in the footer which is interrupted by the page number
 in the center. Is this possible in lyx/latex? How?


 If you have the mboxfill package installed, you can change the page style to
 fancy (Document  Settings...  Page Layout  Headings style) and add the
 following to the preamble of your document:

 \usepackage{mboxfill}
 \cfoot{\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}\thepage\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}}

 Paul


This solution is OK, but I want a rule, not a dashed line.
Unfortunately my example did not reflect his accurately.



Another solution also using fancy page headers in the document settings 
but plain tex otherwise. Put this in the preamble.

\def\hlinefill{\leavevmode\cleaders\hbox{\rule[0.6ex]{1em}{0.4pt}}\hfill}
\fancyfoot{\hlinefill~~~\thepage~~~\hlinefill}

In the above:
- 0.6ex is the height of the line (looks kind of centered)
- 1em is the width of a line segment which gets repeated to fill space
- 0.4pt is the thickness of the line (this particular choice is a 
default value elsewhere in tex)

This is what I need.


By the way, using fancy headers will add default headers, if you don't 
want them you get rid of them with

\fancyhead{}

If you hit the update button, a given format is generated (produced)
in the temp dir, but a previewer is not started.

  From the documentation it appears that all I should
 have to do is generate a dvi preview:
 
Forward search works both with DVI and PDF output. LyX simply
checks which preview format you have used before (i.e., which
format is already there in the temporary directory) and chooses
the appropriate configuration for the respective format.
 
 I have done that; the only thing in the Temp directory is a DVI file
 for my document. There is no sign of any PDF. 

So, let's see whether we can solve this mystery by looking at the code.
The following is the relevant snippet in src/frontends/qt4/GuiView.cpp:

if (!dviname.exists()  !pdfname.exists()) {
dr.setMessage(_(Please, preview the document first.));
break;
}
string outname = dviname.onlyFileName();
string command = lyxrc.forward_search_dvi;
if (!dviname.exists() ||
pdfname.lastModified()  dviname.lastModified()) {
outname = pdfname.onlyFileName();
command = lyxrc.forward_search_pdf;
}

Firstly, LyX checks whether a dvi or pdf was generated. If not, the message
Please, preview the document first. is issued.
Then, LyX assumes that you generated a dvi, but if no dvi exists or the
pdf is newer than the dvi, a pdf format is assumed.
Note that if no pdf exists, pdfname.lastModified() returns -1 and the
check pdfname.lastModified()  dviname.lastModified() is never true.
Thus, if no pdf exists a dvi forward search is always attempted.

Anyway, you say that a pdf search is tried, even if no pdf is in sight.
Let's se how that could happen. The lastModified() method returns a time_t
type, which is a signed type on all machines and compilers I have access to.
However, I don't have access to the MSVC compiler, which is the one used
for the Windows version you are using, most probably. I am able to compile
a Windows version with the MinGW compiler, and there it works.

So, the only way that a pdf search could be attempted is if the time_t type
is an unsigned type for the MSVC compiler. Indeed, in that case, the -1
would be interpreted as the greatest possible value and the check
pdfname.lastModified()  dviname.lastModified() would be always true.
I have no way to check that and someone building LyX with MSVC should
perform that test. It would suffice adding the line

   lyxerr  pdf:   pdfname.lastModified()  endl;

just before that snippet, trying a forward search with only a dvi generated
and looking at what is printed. If the result is

pdf: -1

the mystery remains unsolved (I always get that), but if it prints something
like

pdf: 2147483647

we found the bug.

So, can anyone compiling LyX with MSVC perform that check?

hello everyone

I am writing a thesis with lyx that consists of different parts which 
are divided into several sections etc.


I would like the first section of each part to start with 1.
without any interference of mine, the numbering would be continuous as 
in: part I, section 1, section 2; part II, section 3, sect 4 etc.
I could help this by adding \setcounter{section}{1} after the first 
section of every part.
Now it figures correctly in the Table of contents, also the subsections 
and following sections are numbered correctly.
BUT the numbering of the first sections themselves within the text is 
all wrong. example:
part I, section 1, section 2; part II, section 3, subsection 1.1, 
section 2, section 3 etc


any ideas how to mend this?

Problem with a graph and its title

[Mike Bonhoff]

Hallo,

I wanna make a graph and give it a title, say name. I think this name is 
written under the graph normally. So I think creating a figure must be the 
right thing.

So I clicked Insert-Float-figure and gave the figure the name and inserted 
the graph.

But I have 2 problems:

1st: The name is centered, that means in the middle of the paper to the left 
and right. On the other hand, my figure is on the left side.

I don't know how I can center the figure, too. I read the handbook (German 
version) and there were some hints, especially for importing existing figures, 
but not a lot of hints how to create such a figure by yourself.

2nd: I wanted to create an undirected graph and choose to do it with an 
x-y-pic-matrix with this code within the math mode:

\xymatrix{a\dir[dr]bc\\def}

That creates an xy-pic-matrix with 2 rows (because of the \\ command) and 3 
rows (because of the 2-times  command).
\dir[dr] makes an arc to the element which is one step below (d for down) and 
one element to the right (r for right). I used to write \dir@{-}[dr] instead of 
\dir[dr] because that made an undirected edge instead of an arc. But that 
doesn't work anymore; I don't know why.

Is there a better way to do that, for example with tikz, and is it easy to use 
that within lyx? If not, how can I create simple edges in that 
xy-pic-environment and place the title under the figure.

Thanks!

Re: Problem with a graph and its title

[Julio Rojas]

Dear Mike, on your first question, you do like you'll do with text. Just put
the cursor on the line where the figure is, and click on the Paragraph
settings button. Select Center for alignment, and voilá.

This extract:
% increase link area for cross-references and autoname them
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\ref}[1]{\mbox{\autoref{#1

from your preamble is an old trick to change the normal reference 
format, which appear as reference in the cross-ref dialog of LyX, 
into named references. Named references are now supported by LyX so it 
is no longer necessary to use this trick. Simply use the Formatted 
reference format in the cross-ref dialog. We should probably remove 
this trick from places where it is used in LyX's docs and templates.


Named references are provided by one of these latex packages: either 
prettyref or refstyle. This is configurable in the Doucment class 
options.


Using prettyref you can write in your preamble:
\newrefformat{fig}{Fig.~\ref{#1}}

If you are using hyperref and you want the Fig. part to be clickable 
also, instead use this:

\newrefformat{fig}{\hyperref[#1]{Fig.~\ref*{#1}}}

I do not know at the moment how to customize refstyle, but it should 
be possible to do so in a similar way.


Refstyle supports figure-naming natively, so no new refformat needs to 
be declared. By default, it gives figure~\ref{#1} (or whatever is 
appropriate to the language). If you want to change this, then the easy 
way is just to change the definition of \RSfigtxt, e.g.:

\def\RSfigtex{fig.~}
New reference formats can be defined as follows:
\newref{prop}{refcmd = {proposition \ref{#1}}
So prettyref's
\newrefformat{pfx}{...}
becomes:
\newref{pfx}{refcmd={...}}
This won't get you the range support, plurals and so forth, but LyX 
doesn't yet support those anyway.


Note that you can also use \newref to redefine things refstyle defines 
by default.

there is a better way to do this. In your preamble, put:
\@addtoreset{section}{part}
This tells LaTeX to reset the section counter every time the part 
counter is changed.


You can also use the chngcntr package to do the same sort of thing:
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithin*{section}{part}
But for this simple purpose you probably don't need to do that.

Hi,
I have the problem with the new version of lyx 2.0 for windows that I 
can only use the spellchecker hunspell. I have seen that this problem 
ist known, but I have not found any solution. How can I now use this 
spellchecker (instead of aspell)? Do I have to install dictionarys for 
hunspell? With the installation of lyx 2.0 no dictionarys are installed.

Thanks in advance.

How did you install LyX 2.0? Or what installer version did you use?
I've tried it and the dictionaries are there.

 Hello lyx users:

 My question is not specific to lyx but as I use lyx as a latex frontend I
 guess it is appropriate to ask it here.

 I would like to make a specific page numbering style in the footer,
 something like:

  page-number ---

 A horizontal line in the footer which is interrupted by the page number
 in the center. Is this possible in lyx/latex? How?


 If you have the mboxfill package installed, you can change the page style to
 fancy (Document  Settings...  Page Layout  Headings style) and add the
 following to the preamble of your document:

 \usepackage{mboxfill}
 \cfoot{\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}\thepage\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}}

 Paul


This solution is OK, but I want a rule, not a dashed line.
Unfortunately my example did not reflect his accurately.



Another solution also using fancy page headers in the document settings 
but plain tex otherwise. Put this in the preamble.

\def\hlinefill{\leavevmode\cleaders\hbox{\rule[0.6ex]{1em}{0.4pt}}\hfill}
\fancyfoot{\hlinefill~~~\thepage~~~\hlinefill}

In the above:
- 0.6ex is the height of the line (looks kind of centered)
- 1em is the width of a line segment which gets repeated to fill space
- 0.4pt is the thickness of the line (this particular choice is a 
default value elsewhere in tex)

This is what I need.


By the way, using fancy headers will add default headers, if you don't 
want them you get rid of them with

\fancyhead{}

If you hit the update button, a given format is generated (produced)

 I have done that; the only thing in the Temp directory is a DVI file
 for my document. There is no sign of any PDF. 

So, let's see whether we can solve this mystery by looking at the code.
The following is the relevant snippet in src/frontends/qt4/GuiView.cpp:

if (!dviname.exists()  !pdfname.exists()) {
dr.setMessage(_(Please, preview the document first.));
break;
}
string outname = dviname.onlyFileName();
string command = lyxrc.forward_search_dvi;
if (!dviname.exists() ||
pdfname.lastModified()  dviname.lastModified()) {
outname = pdfname.onlyFileName();
command = lyxrc.forward_search_pdf;
}

Firstly, LyX checks whether a dvi or pdf was generated. If not, the message
Please, preview the document first. is issued.
Then, LyX assumes that you generated a dvi, but if no dvi exists or the
pdf is newer than the dvi, a pdf format is assumed.
Note that if no pdf exists, pdfname.lastModified() returns -1 and the
check pdfname.lastModified()  dviname.lastModified() is never true.
Thus, if no pdf exists a dvi forward search is always attempted.

Anyway, you say that a pdf search is tried, even if no pdf is in sight.
Let's se how that could happen. The lastModified() method returns a time_t
type, which is a signed type on all machines and compilers I have access to.
However, I don't have access to the MSVC compiler, which is the one used
for the Windows version you are using, most probably. I am able to compile
a Windows version with the MinGW compiler, and there it works.

So, the only way that a pdf search could be attempted is if the time_t type
is an unsigned type for the MSVC compiler. Indeed, in that case, the -1
would be interpreted as the greatest possible value and the check
pdfname.lastModified()  dviname.lastModified() would be always true.
I have no way to check that and someone building LyX with MSVC should
perform that test. It would suffice adding the line

   lyxerr  pdf:   pdfname.lastModified()  endl;

just before that snippet, trying a forward search with only a dvi generated
and looking at what is printed. If the result is

pdf: -1

the mystery remains unsolved (I always get that), but if it prints something
like

pdf: 2147483647

we found the bug.

So, can anyone compiling LyX with MSVC perform that check?

Dear Louis, this command is not Biblatex's, but Bibtex's. The style of your

problem with section numbering

[Lisa Deutscher]

hello everyone

I am writing a thesis with lyx that consists of different parts which 
are divided into several sections etc.


I would like the first section of each part to start with 1.
without any interference of mine, the numbering would be continuous as 
in: part I, section 1, section 2; part II, section 3, sect 4 etc.
I could help this by adding \setcounter{section}{1} after the first 
section of every part.
Now it figures correctly in the Table of contents, also the subsections 
and following sections are numbered correctly.
BUT the numbering of the first sections themselves within the text is 
all wrong. example:
part I, section 1, section 2; part II, section 3, subsection 1.1, 
section 2, section 3 etc


any ideas how to mend this?

Problem with a graph and its title

[Mike Bonhoff]

Hallo,

I wanna make a graph and give it a title, say "name". I think this name is 
written under the graph normally. So I think creating a figure must be the 
right thing.

So I clicked Insert->Float->figure and gave the figure the "name" and inserted 
the graph.

But I have 2 problems:

1st: The "name" is centered, that means in the middle of the paper to the left 
and right. On the other hand, my figure is on the left side.

I don't know how I can center the figure, too. I read the handbook (German 
version) and there were some hints, especially for importing existing figures, 
but not a lot of hints how to create such a figure by yourself.

2nd: I wanted to create an undirected graph and choose to do it with an 
x-y-pic-matrix with this code within the math mode:

\xymatrix{a\dir[dr]\\d}

That creates an xy-pic-matrix with 2 rows (because of the \\ command) and 3 
rows (because of the 2-times & command).
\dir[dr] makes an arc to the element which is one step below (d for down) and 
one element to the right (r for right). I used to write \dir@{-}[dr] instead of 
\dir[dr] because that made an undirected edge instead of an arc. But that 
doesn't work anymore; I don't know why.

Is there a better way to do that, for example with tikz, and is it easy to use 
that within lyx? If not, how can I create simple edges in that 
xy-pic-environment and place the title under the figure.

Thanks!

Dear Mike, on your first question, you do like you'll do with text. Just put
the cursor on the line where the figure is, and click on the "Paragraph
settings" button. Select "Center" for alignment, and voilá.

This extract:
% increase link area for cross-references and autoname them
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\ref}[1]{\mbox{\autoref{#1

from your preamble is an old trick to change the normal reference 
format, which appear as "" in the cross-ref dialog of LyX, 
into named references. Named references are now supported by LyX so it 
is no longer necessary to use this trick. Simply use the "Formatted 
reference" format in the cross-ref dialog. We should probably remove 
this trick from places where it is used in LyX's docs and templates.


Named references are provided by one of these latex packages: either 
prettyref or refstyle. This is configurable in the "Doucment class" 
options.


Using prettyref you can write in your preamble:
\newrefformat{fig}{Fig.~\ref{#1}}

If you are using hyperref and you want the "Fig." part to be clickable 
also, instead use this:

\newrefformat{fig}{\hyperref[#1]{Fig.~\ref*{#1}}}

I do not know at the moment how to customize refstyle, but it should 
be possible to do so in a similar way.


Refstyle supports figure-naming natively, so no new refformat needs to 
be declared. By default, it gives "figure~\ref{#1}" (or whatever is 
appropriate to the language). If you want to change this, then the easy 
way is just to change the definition of \RSfigtxt, e.g.:

\def\RSfigtex{fig.~}
New reference formats can be defined as follows:
\newref{prop}{refcmd = {proposition \ref{#1}}
So prettyref's
\newrefformat{pfx}{...}
becomes:
\newref{pfx}{refcmd={...}}
This won't get you the range support, plurals and so forth, but LyX 
doesn't yet support those anyway.


Note that you can also use \newref to redefine things refstyle defines 
by default.

How did you install LyX 2.0? Or what installer version did you use?
I've tried it and the dictionaries are there.
In case you've used some pre-release, please use the final one.

Sorry, I guess I'm confused about the semantics of "generating a format" versus 
"previewing". What more do I have to do to "generate a format" beyond 
previewing?  From the documentation it appears that all I should have to do is 
generate a dvi preview:

   Forward search works both with DVI and PDF output. LyX simply
   checks which preview format you have used before (i.e., which
   format is already there in the temporary directory) and chooses
   the appropriate configuration for the respective format.

I have done that; the only thing in the Temp directory is a DVI file for my 
document. There is no sign of any PDF.  How do I "generate a formate" to tell 
LyX I'm using DVI now?

Thanks for your patience.

If you hit the "update" button, a given format is generated (produced)
in the temp dir, but a previewer is not started.

So, let's see whether we can solve this mystery by looking at the code.
The following is the relevant snippet in src/frontends/qt4/GuiView.cpp:

if (!dviname.exists() && !pdfname.exists()) {
dr.setMessage(_("Please, preview the document first."));
break;
}
string outname = dviname.onlyFileName();
string command = lyxrc.forward_search_dvi;
if (!dviname.exists() ||
pdfname.lastModified() > dviname.lastModified()) {
outname = pdfname.onlyFileName();
command = lyxrc.forward_search_pdf;
}

Firstly, LyX checks whether a dvi or pdf was generated. If not, the message
"Please, preview the document first." is issued.
Then, LyX assumes that you generated a dvi, but if no dvi exists or the
pdf is newer than the dvi, a pdf format is assumed.
Note that if no pdf exists, pdfname.lastModified() returns -1 and the
check pdfname.lastModified() > dviname.lastModified() is never true.
Thus, if no pdf exists a dvi forward search is always attempted.

Anyway, you say that a pdf search is tried, even if no pdf is in sight.
Let's se how that could happen. The lastModified() method returns a time_t
type, which is a signed type on all machines and compilers I have access to.
However, I don't have access to the MSVC compiler, which is the one used
for the Windows version you are using, most probably. I am able to compile
a Windows version with the MinGW compiler, and there it works.

So, the only way that a pdf search could be attempted is if the time_t type
is an unsigned type for the MSVC compiler. Indeed, in that case, the -1
would be interpreted as the greatest possible value and the check
pdfname.lastModified() > dviname.lastModified() would be always true.
I have no way to check that and someone building LyX with MSVC should
perform that test. It would suffice adding the line

   lyxerr << "pdf: " << pdfname.lastModified() << endl;

just before that snippet, trying a forward search with only a dvi generated
and looking at what is printed. If the result is

pdf: -1

the mystery remains unsolved (I always get that), but if it prints something
like

pdf: 2147483647

we found the bug.

So, can anyone compiling LyX with MSVC perform that check?
