This is not terribly easy, due to how the \section* command works. It's
easier just to define a new command, e.g., \secstartoc, add it to your
layout, and use it instead of \section*. That's how I've done it, anyway.
If you consistently want unnumbered section headings that appear in the
toc, you can change the secnumdepth and tocdepth counters in the
preamble, e.g.:
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{0}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{5}
and use the unstarred commands. (LyX will show numbers (unless you
write a to fix this) but the LaTeX output will be fine.)

slightly OT: alternative pdf viewer with reverse lookup to Okular?
Hi I am working on a paper, and after insrting a graph generated from R (pdf), the pdf does not display in okular anymore, but it does in evince. Now evince does not support reverse lookup, which I woyuld like to have. So is there an alternative to okular for reverse lookup under Linux (Ubuntu Oneiric)? Cheers, Rainer -- Rainer M.

Problem (?) with adjacent theorems, lemmas, etc
LyX folk, I am attempting to list two simple lemmas, one after the other, without proofs or any other intervening text. LyX appears not to allow this. If I attempt to insert the second lemma immediately after the first, no matter what I've tried the text of the second lemma is simply pulled into the first lemma. The only (somewhat kludgy) workaround I've found is to insert an ERT comment line between the two lemmas. This seems sorta like a bug to me, but perhaps it is a feature whose justification is lost on me. The phenomenon in question is not unique to lemmas; the same thing happens with theorems, corollaries, definitions, etc. Thanks for any info. Chris Menzel

Liviu's pointer led me off into a search through a lot of pages about
horizontal alignment of latex graphics.
The simplest workaround I've found so far is to wrap the troublesome
graphic, table or minipage in
\raisebox{10mm}{ graphic or table }
That lifts up the troublesome thing 10mm. If you want to lower the
thing, put a negative number. Here are the new versions, where I've
tested this both with simple side-by-side minipages (not in table
cells) and minipages or tables inside cells. Either way, you can
manually force things into line

In Ubuntu, if you try and install LyX from the package manager, it will download all of the associated LaTeX packages as well. This can be a tremendous pain because you'll have two versions of everything installed and you need to manually manage the packages. Having two LaTeX distributions can be done (see http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/07/15/latex-custom for a description of how), but it's a pain.

Which, if you're comfortable with Unix, isn't very difficult. However, I've got a number of friends and colleagues using LyX, and not all of them are comfortable with the esoteric art of editing BASH profiles or modifying system environment variables. Does the TeX live installer modify the path for you? If so, I'll recant everything I said about it being a pain. (I haven't updated my LaTeX install in a while. I mostly just update packages that I want. And even there, I've gone to using my own custom packages for nearly everything, mostly based on memoir.) Debian's texlive waste some disk space, that's all. The advantage is that other dependencies is satisifed automatically, such as spellchecker and qt. If I removed the packaged lyx, then debian might someday throw out other stuff I need. I generally solve this problem by using: sudo apt-get install build-dep lyx This downloads all of the other dependencies without downloading LaTeX. Then i don't have to worry about these getting uninstalled, and I can use LyX built from source. (Which matters because I've been testing the outline additions, and it makes updating other people's install of LyX-Outline rather than having to package it, which I haven't had time to work out.)

In older versions I could change this flag simply in the import/export filter. But this is not showing up anymore (I think since some release candidate of version 2.0) . Where can I change this now?

Re: \usetikzlibrary{external} in Lyx
On 16/11/2011 12:09 PM, hyperp...@gmx.de wrote:
Hello.
First of all: Thanks to all developers. I enjoy using lyx nearly each day.
But I also like to draw pictures and plots with pgf/tikz as input-tex file to
lyx which works fine, too.
My problem:
when I have a lot of complex pictures and a lot of plots with thousands of data
points, that makes compiling take extremely long time and sometimes don't work
because pdflatex has not enough memory.
There is a very nice solution in the actual tikz package where we just put to
preamble:
\usetikzlibrary{external}
\tikzexternalize
And compile with:
pdflatex -shell-escape $$i
This automatically starts a single compiler run for each tikzpicture and
produces a pdf-file when there isn't already the corresponding pdf-file to the
tikzpicture.
In the document the tikzpicture is automatically replaced with
\includegraphics{the existing pdf-file} in compilation.
So if the plots or pictures need not to be updated this speeds up the
compilation with about factor 100 for my case.
Lyx-solution:
As I read in http://www.lyx.org/announce/2_0_1.txt there is an interesting new
option for read external files from ERT that could be used to get it working.
But I wasn't lucky till now. Could you please help a bit. I suppose a solution
would make Lyx more attractive for others user, too.
Example file, compiled in Kile: with
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape '%source'
===
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{external}
%\tikzexternalize[prefix=./myfolder/]
\tikzexternalize
\begin{document}
A line, drawn with tikz:
%\tikzsetnextfilename{myfigname}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) -- (1,0);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
===
I tryed to use a ./ before the individual filename or folder command (myfolder
must exist) to get it working in Lyx and also the Converter-Option: pdflatex
-shell-escape $$i but that did not work. Hope you have an idea where to look
for the solution. Therefore you may have a look at
tex/latex/pgf/utilities/tikzexternal.sty
tex/latex/pgf/utilities//pgfexternalwithdepth.tex
and others.. don't know.
Documentation of the package can be found in
http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/base/doc/generic/pgf/pgfmanual.pdf
(Version 2.10) chapter 32 page 343
Best regards.
Tobias
I got this to work in one of my LyX file. It did not rely on LyX 2.0.1
at all. I have this in my preamble:
% tikz externalize
\usetikzlibrary{external}
\tikzexternalize%
% the following is to obtain both a .pdf and .eps version
% for use with pdflatex and latex, respectively
\tikzset{external/system call={pdflatex \tikzexternalcheckshellescape
-halt-on-error -interaction=batchmode -jobname \image \texsource
convert \image.pdf \image.eps}} % tikzset
and you must modify the pdflatex call as you did in LyX converter settings.

Environment List Dropdown without Toolbar (?)
I've been playing around with fullscreen mode in LyX 2.0.1 (on OS X 10.7.2), and one of my document windows has wound up in a funny state. All of the toolbars are turned off, but the dropdown environment list is still parked in the upper lefthand corner of the screen. I can't remember how I triggered this -- does anybody know if it's a feature or a bug? I'm hoping it's a feature, since this is *exactly* how I want fullscreen mode to work -- the menus don't seem to replicate its functionality in a useful way, but I don't want all of the other toolbar junk cluttering up the screen. Turning the Standard toolbar on, then off again killed the drop down list, so maybe it's just a bug? -Ross

If you consistently want unnumbered section headings that appear in the

preamble, e.g.:
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{0}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{5}
and use the unstarred commands. (LyX will show numbers (unless you

Problem (?) with adjacent theorems, lemmas, etc
LyX folk, I am attempting to list two simple lemmas, one after the other, without proofs or any other intervening text. LyX appears not to allow this. If I attempt to insert the second lemma immediately after the first, no matter what I've tried the text of the second lemma is simply pulled into the first lemma. The only (somewhat kludgy) workaround I've found is to insert an ERT comment line between the two lemmas. This seems sorta like a bug to me, but perhaps it is a feature whose justification is lost on me. The phenomenon in question is not unique to lemmas; the same thing happens with theorems, corollaries, definitions, etc. Thanks for any info. Chris Menzel

Inserting inset via menu keyboard shortcuts problem

Liviu's pointer led me off into a search through a lot of pages about
horizontal alignment of latex graphics.
The simplest workaround I've found so far is to wrap the troublesome
graphic, table or minipage in
\raisebox{10mm}{ graphic or table }
That lifts up the troublesome thing 10mm. If you want to lower the
thing, put a negative number. Here are the new versions, where I've
tested this both with simple side-by-side minipages (not in table
cells) and minipages or tables inside cells. Either way, you can
manually force things into line

Having two LaTeX distributions can be done (see http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/07/15/latex-custom for a description of how), but it's a pain.

Which, if you're comfortable with Unix, isn't very difficult. However, I've got a number of friends and colleagues using LyX, and not all of them are comfortable with the esoteric art of editing BASH profiles or modifying system environment variables. Does the TeX live installer modify the path for you? If so, I'll recant everything I said about it being a pain. (I haven't updated my LaTeX install in a while. I mostly just update packages that I want. And even there, I've gone to using my own custom packages for nearly everything, mostly based on memoir.) Debian's texlive waste some disk space, that's all. The advantage is that other dependencies is satisifed automatically, such as spellchecker and qt. If I removed the packaged lyx, then debian might someday throw out other stuff I need. I generally solve this problem by using: sudo apt-get install build-dep lyx This downloads all of the other dependencies without downloading LaTeX. Then i don't have to worry about these getting uninstalled, and I can use LyX built from source. (Which matters because I've been testing the outline additions, and it makes updating other people's install of LyX-Outline rather than having to package it, which I haven't had time to work out.)

I think of all LyX's many features, the one that impresses me most is that it's built from the bottom up for authoring speed. No crashes. No accidental repeated whitespace. For the most part, everything you want to do is an easy keystroke or quick click. Compile is reasonably fast, especially if you compile only to DVI. Here are things I think would make LyX even faster for authoring: 1) Better/easier keystrokes for working with character styles. In a full day of authoring I can use character styles over 100 times. 2) Restore the recently removed easy menu choices for compile to PDF via ps2pdf and compile to DVI. I could use both of these tens of times a day. 3) Complete the outlining feature so you can add headlines. Keep in mind LyX is already faster for authoring than MSWord, and of course faster than that garbage heap called OpenOffice. But the addition of the three points I mention would make LyX's authoring speed INSANE.

lyx which works fine, too.
My problem:
when I have a lot of complex pictures and a lot of plots with thousands of data
points, that makes compiling take extremely long time and sometimes don't work
because pdflatex has not enough memory.
There is a very nice solution in the actual tikz package where we just put to
preamble:
\usetikzlibrary{external}
\tikzexternalize
And compile with:
pdflatex -shell-escape $$i
This automatically starts a single compiler run for each tikzpicture and
produces a pdf-file when there isn't already the corresponding pdf-file to the
tikzpicture.
In the document the tikzpicture is automatically replaced with
\includegraphics{the existing pdf-file} in compilation.
So if the plots or pictures need not to be updated this speeds up the
compilation with about factor 100 for my case.
Lyx-solution:
As I read in http://www.lyx.org/announce/2_0_1.txt there is an interesting new
option for read external files from ERT that could be used to get it working.
But I wasn't lucky till now. Could you please help a bit. I suppose a solution
would make Lyx more attractive for others user, too.
Example file, compiled in Kile: with
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape '%source'
===
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{external}
%\tikzexternalize[prefix=./myfolder/]
\tikzexternalize
\begin{document}
A line, drawn with tikz:
%\tikzsetnextfilename{myfigname}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) -- (1,0);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
===
I tryed to use a ./ before the individual filename or folder command (myfolder
must exist) to get it working in Lyx and also the Converter-Option: pdflatex
-shell-escape $$i but that did not work. Hope you have an idea where to look
for the solution. Therefore you may have a look at
tex/latex/pgf/utilities/tikzexternal.sty
tex/latex/pgf/utilities//pgfexternalwithdepth.tex
and others.. don't know.
Documentation of the package can be found in
http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/base/doc/generic/pgf/pgfmanual.pdf
(Version 2.10) chapter 32 page 343
Best regards.
Tobias
I got this to work in one of my LyX file. It did not rely on LyX 2.0.1
at all. I have this in my preamble:
% tikz externalize
\usetikzlibrary{external}
\tikzexternalize%
% the following is to obtain both a .pdf and .eps version
% for use with pdflatex and latex, respectively
\tikzset{external/system call={pdflatex \tikzexternalcheckshellescape
-halt-on-error -interaction=batchmode -jobname \image \texsource
convert \image.pdf \image.eps}} % tikzset
and you must modify the pdflatex call as you did in LyX converter settings.

I'm not sure I understand. When I used the classidthesis template there was a child document dedicated to the bibliography. Why don't you try adding your bib file there. And, again, the way to change formatting is via the bibtex style; it has nothing to do with the bib file. But I may be missing something -- I'm also a junior lyX user myself! Manolo

Re: Impressed
+1 for vi keystrokes :) But seriously, I don't think it would be fair to expect that. LyX is mean to be focused on making things easy and straightforward for everyone. Vi keystroke would not achieve that. I guess that could be an option, but it shouldn't be LyX's focus.

You must do something wrong; I have no problem to change a scientific name in the chapter heading to italic (control e on the keyboard) and export it correctly to eg a pdf file. Could you explain in detail, what you are doing? Wolfgang In the header of thesis pages as well as in the contents I do have the emph style (I just used the Ctrl + e as you told me) in the title of the chapters, but I do not have capital letters. LyX recognize the emph style but do not use capital letters although they are in the initials of scientific names...

Environment List Dropdown without Toolbar (?)
I've been playing around with fullscreen mode in LyX 2.0.1 (on OS X 10.7.2), and one of my document windows has wound up in a funny state. All of the toolbars are turned off, but the dropdown environment list is still parked in the upper lefthand corner of the screen. I can't remember how I triggered this -- does anybody know if it's a feature or a bug? I'm hoping it's a feature, since this is *exactly* how I want fullscreen mode to work -- the menus don't seem to replicate its functionality in a useful way, but I don't want all of the other toolbar junk cluttering up the screen. Turning the Standard toolbar on, then off again killed the drop down list, so maybe it's just a bug? -Ross

Ultimately, I'd like to have such a setting formula by formula, but that's obviously a format change, so it's for 2.1.0. This little trick lets you get the same effect, since LyX always falls back to image output if it encounters something it doesn't understand. I guess it must think it does understand mhchem stuff Richard
