Re: problems with letter document class and finding templates

 It appear that a package may be missing?

What OS? If Windows using MiKTeX, do you have 'Install packages
on-the-fly' set to 'Yes'?


 In trying to solve this problem I tried New from Template and found that the 
 only file in the templates directory is lyx.defaults.  Shouldn't there be a 
 letter template and others?  It seems I must have missed something when I 
 installed 2.0.

It definitely should. They should be in /usr/share/lyx/templates/ for
Linux (or the equivalent for your OS).

 Any help would be appreciated.

Re: LyX Essentials / View PDF / Export PDF

[Ken]

Ooops.  Now I have messed up my installation.

I copied the stdtoolbar.inc from the installation folder on C:\Program
Files to the ui folder in my LyX2.0 user directory and was playing
around with it.  But then my toolbar disappeared.  When I tried
deleting the .inc files from my user ui folder so that the defaults
would be used, the toolbars seem to have shrunk.  Please see the
attached screenshot.

I have tried re-installing LyX but this has not helped (as I suspect
the problem is somewhere in my user directory).  Has anyone come
across this issue and happen to know where the incorrect setting may
be?

Thanks,
Ken

 In principle it should be possible to combine the preview and export
 command sequences. For this, check Help  Functions (particularly
 'command-sequence') and some examples on the mailing list (same
 keyword, and perhaps 'keyboard bindings'). For the commands run in the
 menus and on the toolbar inspect 'stdmenus.inc' and 'stdtoolbars.inc'.
 I haven't tested, but it should be as easy as copy/pasting and
 slightly modifying the items of interest.

No - but if you assume it is caused by something in the user directory, I
would suggest to rename it and start LyX - a default one should be created.

Re: LyX Essentials / View PDF / Export PDF

[Ken]

Hi Rainer,

That's a good point.  I renamed C:\Documents and
Settings\Ken\Application Data\LyX2.0 to LyX2.0_old and, as you say, a
new one was created on launching LyX.  However the toolbars are still
missing.  So the problem must be elsewhere.

I am logged on a s Limited XP user so I don't know if any changes
would have occurred in the C:\Program Files\LyX20 folder when I was
playing with the user folder.  Where else might I look for the
culprit?

Thanks,
Ken

Follow Rainer's advice, and if that fails, start a new thread on this
list. Also go to View  Toolbars and try hiding/showing them.

Thinking more about your original enquiry, it could be as simple as
the following: define a
command-sequence buffer-view pdf2 ; buffer-export pdf2 ;

command in Tools  Options  Editing  Shortcuts. It seems to work here.

Missing Toolbars

[Ken]

I uninstalled LyX (including user preferences) and re-installed
however that has not resolved the issue.

Where does LyX store settings if it does so in places other than the following?
C:\Program Files\LyX20
C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\LyX2.0

Are settings stored in the registry?  Could the toolbar settings be
set in an addon package (like Qt)?

I have tried disabling and enabling the toolbars from the View menu
but that has not resolved the issue either.

I have renamed the subject of this email so that it starts a new
thread (as suggested).

Double page numbers on two-sided thesis document

[Dirk Heine]

Dear list,

I am using the default thesis template from Lyx 2.0 and have the
following problem with page numbering in a two-sided document in book
style (KOMA):

Every left page carries two page numbers (one on the left page edge,
one near the binding), every right page just one (on the right page
edge). I would like to switch off this double-numbering of left pages
but do not know how. Any help?

Best regards,

Dirk

Linebreak url on hyphen

[Louis Turk]

Hi everyone,

How can a URL be made to linebreak on a hyphen, without breaking
hyperref support?

I tried using the breakurl package, but couldn't get it to work.

Try Tools  Prefs  Language  User Interface  English.

Except it wont be named Tools and so on, if it already is in a

locals available to translate.

But you can start english language LyX like this, from
the command line:

LANG=C lyx

or

export LANG=C
lyx


Then the menu will say Tools and you can make a permanent change.
I am not sure how this will work if on windows. Perhaps:

set LANG=C
lyx

 Hello.

 The error is:

 I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
 For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
 this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
 I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
 argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
 your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.


 If I change the references style from plainnat to plain the errors
 disappear, but I would like to understand what is going on. If I
 remove ANY reference, the error message changes. If I remove ANY 2
 references, the errors also go away...

 Attached is the simple lyx and bib files. Is this a LyX error or
 should I be asking somewhere else?

Looks like some sort of bug in natbib. Here's the end of the auxfile:

\bibcite{URLPython}{URL(2011{w})}
\bibcite{URLSCL3711}{URL(2011{x})}
\bibcite{URLSpongyCastle}{URL(2011{y})}
\bibcite{URLUSBBug}{URL(2011{z})}
\bibcite{URLwxPython}{URL(2011{|})}

Missing Toolbars / Broken Installation

[Ken]

This request is related to an earlier thread
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/71063) but I am
starting a new thread here to help solve a specific broken
installation.

I copied stdmenus.inc and stdtoolbas.inc from
C:\Program Files\LyX20\Resources\ui
to
C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\LyX2.0\ui
in order to edit/customize one of the toolbars.

However, this caused none of my toolbars to load so I removed these
files in an attempt to revert back to the default settings.  However,
I am still left without any toolbars in LyX.

I have attempted to un-install LyX (including all user preferences)
and to re-install LyX but this has not fixed the issue.

When I document is open no toolbars appear.  When all documents are
close, there appears to be some sort of very,very small toolbar.
Please see the attached screenshot.

I have no idea how to fix this as I have completely un-installed and
re-installed LyX without any luck.  Where else might settings be
stored which I need to clear?  Windows registry?  Another folder than
the two mentioned above?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken

I think, the template is erroneous. (Had the same effect in trunk)
Definitition of Left Footer is ok, but Right Footer should have set the

Unfortunately the problem persists also after that executing Insert

Setting zoom level when opening PDF output file

Hi,

does anyone know how to set the zoom level for when you open the PDF output

Does anyone know where to find all the options that can be used in hyperref?

In hyperref's documentation.  It should be included in your TeX 
installation.  Or Google it to find it online.  I found:


  http://www.tug.org/applications/hyperref/manual.html#x1-13.6

The option you're looking for is pdfstartview.  You can put something 
like pdfstartview=FitH in Document Settings-PDF 
Properties-Additional Options.  Separate multiple options with commas. 
 (Like option1=foo, option2=bar.)

 export it in the desired folder. Then, if you use a well behaved PDF
 viewer such as Evince, each time the file is saved to disk the viewer
 will automatically reload it, meaning that the button will effectively
 act both as 'export' and 'preview'. This way you have to open your PDF
 file only once, and have it regularly updated by LyX.


 This is useful for cases where (a) I want to read one

 Can anyone suggest either:

 (2) how to create a new icon which generates a PDF (appended with

 In principle it should be possible to combine the preview and export
 command sequences. For this, check Help  Functions (particularly
 'command-sequence') and some examples on the mailing list (same
 keyword, and perhaps 'keyboard bindings'). For the commands run in the
 menus and on the toolbar inspect 'stdmenus.inc' and 'stdtoolbars.inc'.
 I haven't tested, but it should be as easy as copy/pasting and
 slightly modifying the items of interest.

No - but if you assume it is caused by something in the user directory, I

Re: LyX Essentials / View PDF / Export PDF

[Ken]

Hi Rainer,

That's a good point.  I renamed C:\Documents and
Settings\Ken\Application Data\LyX2.0 to LyX2.0_old and, as you say, a
new one was created on launching LyX.  However the toolbars are still
missing.  So the problem must be elsewhere.

I am logged on a s Limited XP user so I don't know if any changes
would have occurred in the C:\Program Files\LyX20 folder when I was
playing with the user folder.  Where else might I look for the
culprit?

Thanks,
Ken

 No - but if you assume it is caused by something in the user directory, I
 would suggest to rename it and start LyX - a default one should be created.

Follow Rainer's advice, and if that fails, start a new thread on this
list. Also go to View  Toolbars and try hiding/showing them.

Thinking more about your original enquiry, it could be as simple as
the following: define a
command-sequence buffer-view pdf2 ; buffer-export pdf2 ;

command in Tools  Options  Editing  Shortcuts. It seems to work here.

Missing Toolbars

[Ken]

I uninstalled LyX (including user preferences) and re-installed
however that has not resolved the issue.

Where does LyX store settings if it does so in places other than the following?
C:\Program Files\LyX20
C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\LyX2.0

Are settings stored in the registry?  Could the toolbar settings be
set in an addon package (like Qt)?

I have tried disabling and enabling the toolbars from the View menu
but that has not resolved the issue either.

I have renamed the subject of this email so that it starts a new
thread (as suggested).

Double page numbers on two-sided thesis document

[Dirk Heine]

Dear list,

I am using the default thesis template from Lyx 2.0 and have the
following problem with page numbering in a two-sided document in book
style (KOMA):

Every left page carries two page numbers (one on the left page edge,
one near the binding), every right page just one (on the right page
edge). I would like to switch off this double-numbering of left pages
but do not know how. Any help?

Best regards,

Dirk

Except it wont be named Tools and so on, if it already is in a 
language he doesn't understand. :-( Unless there are some
locals available to translate.

But you can start english language LyX like this, from
the command line:

LANG=C lyx

or

export LANG=C
lyx


Then the menu will say Tools and you can make a permanent change.
I am not sure how this will work if on windows. Perhaps:

set LANG=C

 Hello.

 I'm using LyX 2.0.0 on OSX. I'm having a strange error when I try to

 the relevant parts that produce the error that are some 20 citations
 and the corresponding bib file that has these references with no

 The error is:

 I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this

 My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.

 ! Argument of \@lbibitem has an extra }.

 \par
 l.92 \bibitem[URL(2011{\natexlab{}}}

 I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
 For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
 this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
 I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
 argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
 your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.


 If I change the references style from plainnat to plain the errors
 disappear, but I would like to understand what is going on. If I
 remove ANY reference, the error message changes. If I remove ANY 2
 references, the errors also go away...

 Attached is the simple lyx and bib files. Is this a LyX error or
 should I be asking somewhere else?

Looks like some sort of bug in natbib. Here's the end of the auxfile:

\bibcite{URLPython}{URL(2011{w})}

Missing Toolbars / Broken Installation

[Ken]

This request is related to an earlier thread
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/71063) but I am
starting a new thread here to help solve a specific broken
installation.

I copied stdmenus.inc and stdtoolbas.inc from
C:\Program Files\LyX20\Resources\ui
to
C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\LyX2.0\ui
in order to edit/customize one of the toolbars.

However, this caused none of my toolbars to load so I removed these
files in an attempt to revert back to the default settings.  However,
I am still left without any toolbars in LyX.

I have attempted to un-install LyX (including all user preferences)
and to re-install LyX but this has not fixed the issue.

When I document is open no toolbars appear.  When all documents are
close, there appears to be some sort of very,very small toolbar.
Please see the attached screenshot.

I have no idea how to fix this as I have completely un-installed and
re-installed LyX without any luck.  Where else might settings be
stored which I need to clear?  Windows registry?  Another folder than
the two mentioned above?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken

I think, the template is erroneous. (Had the same effect in trunk)
Definitition of Left Footer is ok, but Right Footer should have set the 
Short Title to nothing. (As of now, there is no short title).
So insert Short title in Right Footer, but let it be empty and you should 
be done.

Open your master thesis file in lyx (the one created from thesis-template)
Search for definition of Right Footer (this should be some lines below

Re: Double page numbers on two-sided thesis document

[Dirk Heine]

Thanks Kornel!

Unfortunately the problem persists also after that executing Insert
Short Title. I just tried it with my document and also with a new,
clean version of the thesis template to make sure the problem does not
arise due to some customisation. In both cases, however, the double
page numbering remains.

I would be grateful for further advice.

Best wishes,

Dirk

 Open your master thesis file in lyx (the one created from thesis-template)

 Search for definition of Right Footer (this should be some lines below
 Dedication, cite from a famous person

 Right klick on Right Footer, select Insert Short Title.

 That's it.

Setting zoom level when opening PDF output file

[ChiPro]

Hi,

does anyone know how to set the zoom level for when you open the PDF output 
file?

I found that the package hyperref is supposed to allow this feature but I don't
know the command.

Does anyone know where to find all the options that can be used in hyperref? 

Thanks.

See http://ctan.org/pkg/hyperref  Documentation. To find
documentation for LaTeX packages best is always to look on CTAN.

In hyperref's documentation.  It should be included in your TeX 
installation.  Or Google it to find it online.  I found:


  http://www.tug.org/applications/hyperref/manual.html#x1-13.6

The option you're looking for is pdfstartview.  You can put something 
like pdfstartview=FitH in Document Settings-PDF 
Properties-Additional Options.  Separate multiple options with commas. 
 (Like option1=foo, option2=bar.)

Re: LyX Essentials / View PDF / Export PDF

[Ken]

Ooops.  Now I have messed up my installation.

I copied the stdtoolbar.inc from the installation folder on C:\Program
Files to the "ui" folder in my LyX2.0 user directory and was playing
around with it.  But then my toolbar disappeared.  When I tried
deleting the .inc files from my user ui folder so that the defaults
would be used, the toolbars seem to have shrunk.  Please see the
attached screenshot.

I have tried re-installing LyX but this has not helped (as I suspect
the problem is somewhere in my user directory).  Has anyone come
across this issue and happen to know where the incorrect setting may
be?

Thanks,
Ken

No - but if you assume it is caused by something in the user directory, I
would suggest to rename it and start LyX - a default one should be created.

Re: LyX Essentials / View PDF / Export PDF

[Ken]

Hi Rainer,

That's a good point.  I renamed C:\Documents and
Settings\Ken\Application Data\LyX2.0 to LyX2.0_old and, as you say, a
new one was created on launching LyX.  However the toolbars are still
missing.  So the problem must be elsewhere.

I am logged on a s Limited XP user so I don't know if any changes
would have occurred in the C:\Program Files\LyX20 folder when I was
playing with the user folder.  Where else might I look for the
culprit?

Thanks,
Ken

As far as I remember, LyX has system settings and user settings. If you want
to try to reinstall LyX, I would uninstall it, check that the LyX folder is
deleted as well (but keep a copy of your user directory), and reinstal LyX.

Keep in mind, that all this is coming from a Linux user - so there might be
some places, where LyX stores settings as well (registry? unlikely), which I
am not aware of.

Follow Rainer's advice, and if that fails, start a new thread on this
list. Also go to View > Toolbars and try hiding/showing them.

Thinking more about your original enquiry, it could be as simple as
the following: define a
command-sequence buffer-view pdf2 ; buffer-export pdf2 ;

command in Tools > Options > Editing > Shortcuts. It seems to work here.

Missing Toolbars

[Ken]

I uninstalled LyX (including user preferences) and re-installed
however that has not resolved the issue.

Where does LyX store settings if it does so in places other than the following?
C:\Program Files\LyX20
C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\LyX2.0

Are settings stored in the registry?  Could the toolbar settings be
set in an addon package (like Qt)?

I have tried disabling and enabling the toolbars from the View menu
but that has not resolved the issue either.

I have renamed the subject of this email so that it starts a new
thread (as suggested).

Double page numbers on two-sided thesis document

[Dirk Heine]

Dear list,

I am using the default thesis template from Lyx 2.0 and have the
following problem with page numbering in a two-sided document in book
style (KOMA):

Every left page carries two page numbers (one on the left page edge,
one near the binding), every right page just one (on the right page
edge). I would like to switch off this double-numbering of left pages
but do not know how. Any help?

Best regards,

Dirk

Language setting problem

Dear Lyx Users,

I am a new LYX users. When I install LyX in my office computer, it comes in
local language (all menu bars and its options) which I can't understand.
Could you please help me to change the language in English?

Linebreak url on hyphen

Hi everyone,

How can a URL be made to linebreak on a hyphen, without breaking
hyperref support?

I tried using the breakurl package, but couldn't get it to work.

Except it wont be named "Tools" and so on, if it already is in a 
language he doesn't understand. :-( Unless there are some
"locals" available to translate.

But you can start english language LyX like this, from
the command line:

LANG=C lyx

or

export LANG=C
lyx


Then the menu will say "Tools" and you can make a permanent change.
I am not sure how this will work if on windows. Perhaps:

set LANG=C
lyx

Looks like some sort of bug in natbib. Here's the end of the auxfile:

\bibcite{URLPython}{URL(2011{w})}
\bibcite{URLSCL3711}{URL(2011{x})}
\bibcite{URLSpongyCastle}{URL(2011{y})}
\bibcite{URLUSBBug}{URL(2011{z})}
\bibcite{URLwxPython}{URL(2011{|})}

That last one is what is causing the problem.

Missing Toolbars / Broken Installation

[Ken]

This request is related to an earlier thread
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/71063) but I am
starting a new thread here to help solve a specific broken
installation.

I copied stdmenus.inc and stdtoolbas.inc from
C:\Program Files\LyX20\Resources\ui
to
C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\LyX2.0\ui
in order to edit/customize one of the toolbars.

However, this caused none of my toolbars to load so I removed these
files in an attempt to revert back to the default settings.  However,
I am still left without any toolbars in LyX.

I have attempted to un-install LyX (including all user preferences)
and to re-install LyX but this has not fixed the issue.

When I document is open no toolbars appear.  When all documents are
close, there appears to be some sort of very,very small toolbar.
Please see the attached screenshot.

I have no idea how to fix this as I have completely un-installed and
re-installed LyX without any luck.  Where else might settings be
stored which I need to clear?  Windows registry?  Another folder than
the two mentioned above?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken

I think, the template is erroneous. (Had the same effect in trunk)
Definitition of "Left Footer" is ok, but "Right Footer" should have set the 
"Short Title" to nothing. (As of now, there is no short title).
So insert "Short title" in "Right Footer", but let it be empty and you should 
be done.

Thanks for your reply Richard!
I have not customised anything. The problem just arose out of the

Open your master thesis file in lyx (the one created from thesis-template)
Search for definition of "Right Footer" (this should be some lines below 
"Dedication, cite from a famous person"
Right klick on "Right Footer", select "Insert Short Title".
That's it.

Re: Double page numbers on two-sided thesis document

[Dirk Heine]

Thanks Kornel!

Unfortunately the problem persists also after that executing "Insert
Short Title". I just tried it with my document and also with a new,
clean version of the thesis template to make sure the problem does not
arise due to some customisation. In both cases, however, the double
page numbering remains.

I would be grateful for further advice.

Best wishes,

Dirk

Setting zoom level when opening PDF output file

[ChiPro]

Hi,

does anyone know how to set the zoom level for when you open the PDF output 
file?

I found that the package hyperref is supposed to allow this feature but I don't
know the command.

Does anyone know where to find all the options that can be used in hyperref? 

Thanks.

In hyperref's documentation.  It should be included in your TeX 
installation.  Or Google it to find it online.  I found:


  http://www.tug.org/applications/hyperref/manual.html#x1-13.6

The option you're looking for is "pdfstartview".  You can put something 
like "pdfstartview=FitH" in Document Settings->PDF 
Properties->Additional Options.  Separate multiple options with commas. 
 (Like "option1=foo, option2=bar".)
