epsdice package.
I am trying to use the epsdice package from inside LyX, and when I switch to using xelatex as the formatting engine, the package malfunctions. Instead of drawing a single die, it draws all 12 possible combinations of dice on two lines. :( Is there a working dice or dominoes or "grouped dots" package for xelatex ? The document I am writing is in Cherokee, so xelatex is my only choice for font reasons. -- --- - Learn to speak Cherokee: http://www.cherokeelessons.com/ - Cherokee Language Help BBS/Chat: http://www.cherokeelessons.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=6 - Cherokee Lessons PDF made with: http://www.lyx.org/ die test-BAD.tex Description: TeX document die test-BAD.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document die test.tex Description: TeX document die test.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document die test.lyx Description: Binary data

Yes, I noticed that about the templates and have had them in mind, but I'd forgotten about the examples. [Which is evident from the fact that I said it'd be nice if there were some.

Hi,
I am using Lyx-2.0 with KOMA-book class (pdflatex) on Mac OSX 10.6.8.
I am often using the cross-reference option 'Formatted reference' as it is
quite convenient to have automatic addition of 'figure', 'section' etc.
Nevertheless I noticed (by accident) that in the Lyx window references appear
to be fine but show up in the final pdf as '??'. This is the case for
references within a 'subsection'.
This is a little bit annoying as it can be overseen in a larger document easily.
Is this a bug? Has anyone else this problem?
Any comments?
The reason for this is that LyX by default uses the prefix "sub" for
such references, as you create them, but neither prettyref nor refstyle
defines a format for this. I'm not sure if that counts as a bug or not.
Anyway, you can deal with it two ways.
Thanks for the explanation.
IMO another solution would be that LyX by default uses 'sec' instead of 'sub'.
(i) Put a format declaration for "sub" references into your preamble.
How you do this depends upon whether you are using refstyle or
prettyref. (This is set under Document>Settings.) For prettyref, you can
do something like:
\newrefformat{sub}{Subsection \ref{#1}}
For refstyle:
\newref{sub}{refcmd={Subsection \ref{#1}}}
Of course, you can adapt these as you wish.
(ii) Modify what LyX uses for subsections. This is a matter of layout,
and can be done in a module, in local layout (under Document>Settings),
or wherever you wish:
Style Subsection
RefPrefix sec
End
The defaults are in the file stdrefprefix.inc. If you like, you can copy
the system file to your local layout directory (by default, on Linux,
~/.lyx/layouts/), modify it, and then LyX will use it instead of the
system one.
I tried local layout and stdrefprefix.inc (under Mac OS) but it didn't work
(still '??').
For the time being I don't use LyX 'formatted reference' and keep manually
writing 'section'.
Sebastian
Are you by any chance also using subfloats? i.e. floats within floats?
There is a incompatibility between the package used by LyX to do this,
and the refstyle package used for formatted references.

Any idea what causes this?
This kind of thing is usually due to problems with the .bib file, and the
problem is usually the presence of Unicode characters gotten from pasting a
reference from the web or something. If you use bibtex for the processor,
then the file really needs to be ASCII; if you use bibtex8, you can get away
with 8-bit encodings; but Unicode needs special treatment and is not
presently recommended.

You also need to use a natbib-compatible bibliography style. You select
this by clicking on your "BibTeX Generated Bibliography" in your LyX
document and selecting e.g. plainnat

They have to know something about how to use a wordprocessor (for want of a better word, but even familiarity with MS Word. The person should have had a little experience with some computer programming, even if it's excel macros or something, so he/she can understand what I'm saying about LaTeX. And the person must have an open mind. But in my opinion, LyX or LaTeX experience isn't essential for using the LyX docs on my website.

I think I'm gonna go with koma, Trevor. For one, the documentation strikes me as excellent. Certainly compared to memoir. Don't remember where I accessed them at the moment, or which ones, but I did take a look at a few class documents. There were a couple relatively simple ones that I could make rough sense of. Many were overwhelming.

This does not mean that they are handled properly by the algorithms that
create the citations. I would suggest you at least try this with a

A layout is file that allows LyX to understand that LaTeX document class. (For the moment, don't worry about *.layout files; you use them automatically.)

Putting the above into local layout (make sure you put "Format 35" as

RE: use of \citet (with natbib numeric) gives "(author?)" error
Hello Richard,
thanks for the answer. I do not think it is a Unicode problem because I
generate the bibtex file from Zotero using IS0-8859-15 which has worked before.
Also, all author names appear fine in the bibliography itself. Even those with
special characters such as "ï".
Any other ideas?

Thanks for the explanation.
IMO another solution would be that LyX by default uses 'sec' instead of 'sub'.

I tried local layout and stdrefprefix.inc (under Mac OS) but it didn't work
(still '??').
For the time being I don't use LyX 'formatted reference' and keep manually

File -> control version
Which is the idea and how can I use the control version features in the file menu ? I looked for some documentation and I found nothing. I am interesting in usgin SVN with my documents but I dont know if Lyx has some feature integrated. Now I am doing it with TortoiseSVN outside Lyx. Some recommendations ? Thanks, Mariano.

Is their some documentation on the Lyx file format somewhere? Will the Lyx format be easier or harder to manage than dealing directly with Latex format? Thanks Steve Thanks everyone for the great hints. A couple of you asked what I intend to do (how complicated). I'll be dragging data from a data base populated with genealogy data. It's not fully formulated in my mind yet, but I see: - for each person a new section - sub sections for various details of the person (marriages, children, notes etc) - maybe a table to summarize various details of a person (life events) - possibly the inclusion of a picture if the records contains a picture. I was considering targeting Lyx as the generated files rather than Latex, as I will need to tweak the data, and potentially add more details, introductions, explanations etc. that are not included in the data base. I was wanting to use the pull from the data base as a starting base to which I need to do more work. As pointed out by Trevor I could import Latex files to lyx, this is under consideration but I would still need to generate the Latex files. In the mean time I've been playing around with the lyx2lyx python code and created a simple class that can write basic lyx files, I might try and push this a bit more and see if I can get the elements of lyx that I'll need to use to work. Another option with greater flexibility IMHO would be to create an external inset that would pull the database directly from within LyX. Abdel.
Re: Lyx 2.0 problems with PDF in Windows
Finally I solved this problem when trying to fix another problem related to SVG graphics. The problem is related to the temporal path used by Lyx. I am usign Lyx in spanish, where the temp path by default has characters not supported by Lyx, as "Configuración Local" (local configuration). I think this should be handled in future releases to avoid changing the path to a simpler place, like c:\temp. As I told before, the same problem occurs when Lyx does the internal conversions of graphics to PNG, for example from SVG. The temporal path in a language different than english probably generates troubles. This is also fixed by changing the temp folder. Regards, Mariano.
