biblatex-chicago

[Louis Turk]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to use biblatex-chicago with Lyx 2.0 and biblatex-biber
for some time without success. I've read many documents on-line but
still no success. I want to use the footnotes style citations. Lyx finds
the .bib database and I can enter a citation, but in author-date style,
not in the notes style I need.

I get this error message when I try to compile:

Undefined control sequence.

\begin{document}

The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.



This is what I have in the preamble:

\bibliography{/home/lat/notes-test}

\usepackage[notes]{biblatex-chicago}

 
In settings/modules I have biblatex-citation-styles selected.

In settings/Bibliography/citation style I have natbib author-date selected.

In settings/Bibliography/Bibliography Generation/processor I have biber
selected.

In tools/preferences/output/latex/processor I have biber selected.

I'm beginning to think I have something installed wrong. Is there a
step-by-step how-to doc on installing biblatex, biblatex-biber and
biblatex-chicago to get it to work properly with Lyx?

I've reinstall biblatex, biblatex-biber, and biblatex-chicago with the
latest versions. On a bare bones file I now get:

Can I use lyx for a shopping list

[Monty Zukowski]

I'd like to lay out a 3x5 card shopping list in 3 columns.  I'm not
sure what document class to use for something so basic, everything I
tried likes to have a lot of space at the top.

Thanks for any pointers,

Monty

I have never played with multiple column documents, but you have at
least Document  Settings  Page layout  Two sided document and
Orientation  Landscape. Look in the modules and on the wiki on how
LaTeX allows several columns on one page.

 tried likes to have a lot of space at the top.

This can be easily fixed: Document  Settings  Page margins and
experiment with non-default margins.
