Feature, p/h? It has a great educational value: it forces you to understand
how lyx uses the latex (and biber, texindy, etc) backends ;-)

Hello,

I am currently writing my PhD thesis on Lyx, and i have one problem with
my bibliography.
I am using multiple bibliography, with a separate bib file for each
chapter (these are included in a main document thesis.lyx).
As advised in the advanced options document, i use \begin{btUnit}and
\end{btUnit}at the beginning and end of my chapter to allow the multiple
bibliography.
I want to use a numbered style, in superscript, and numbered in the
order of citation. But my problem is that references are listed in the
alphabetical order of authors, thus generating numbering like 5, 23, 6
 and not 1,2,3

What i don't understand is that my bibliography is actually numbered in
superscript but not sorted by order of citation?! unsrtnat is not
supposed to do so?

I would extremely appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Did you figure it out? Although unsrtnat won't sort, bibtopic might

Hey everyone,

a lot more professional. Would be really thankful for your support [image:

Apparently, (la)tex wasn't designed with left- and right-column line 
matching in mind at all, and accomplishing this after the fact is 
challenging. That said, if you find a way to make this work in latex, 
please post your result. We could look how difficult it would be to have

Odd that the "undefined color" is in all caps. Is LyX exporting this wrong?

I think we can only answer this with a test file that causes the problem.

rh




The headers from that document class must be all caps. A similar error 
happened with changes in section titles with the revtex document class, 
which use all caps section titles. For some reason latex thinks that it 
should also capitalize the color names. A workaround is to also define 
the colors with capitalized names! c.f. http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/4625

My question:
why was vancouver2etal in bibliography style>default style not recognized?
I did a reconfigure before.

This is new in LyX 2.1:
For the Default style defined in document settings to be used, the style 
in the "BibTeX-generated bibliography" dialog must be set to "default". 
Note that this isn't completely ironed out, but the intention behind 
this document-wide setting is for citation engine that define the style 
in the preamble, e.g. biblatex.


For now, I would recommend to use the LyX 2.0 way:
Just set the bibliography style you want from the "BibTeX-generated 
bibliography" dialog.

pLyX system: find & replace LyX format code

[Andrew Parsloe]

The pLyX system (see http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Examples) provides a 
means of launching python scripts at the click of a few toolbar buttons; 
these scripts modify the current document. Given the speed of modern 
computers, the whole process feels built-in -- the document changes 
almost immediately "in front of one's eyes".


As part of this system, I've attached a find-&-replace script for LyX's 
native file format, & associated files:


findrepl.py -- the script that does the finding & replacing.
findrepl_help.py  -- a help script.
pLyXFindReplace(compressed).lyx -- an explanatory LyX document that 
needs to be saved in uncompressed format for the examples in it to work.


In the document I show how the script can be used to tackle some queries 
that have appeared on the users list over the past year:


document-wide changing the width of figures
document-wide centering of figures
converting chemical formulae written in math insets (for the sake of 
sub- and superscripts) to \mathrm
clearing up "debris" after importing documents from, e.g., OpenOffice or 
Abiword, that have been exported as LaTeX (in other words getting rid of 
all those irritating left & right braces in ERT insets).


One way of tackling such problems is to open the document in a text 
editor and make appropriate changes there. The find-&-replace script 
means that is no longer necessary. It can be done from the comfort of 
the LyX GUI. There are usually other ways of tackling such matters (and 
perhaps more insightful in a LaTeX sense) but for someone pressed for 
time, this may provide a convenient fallback.


The script has a simple mode capable of finding & replacing possibly 
multiple lines of native LyX format code, and a powerful regular 
expression mode similarly capable, but also of condensing multiple 
simple searches into one regexp search (and, of course, with a health 
warning about crashing LyX, given the obscurity of regexps, but it's 
great fun).

The error message includes the additional information:

You should either use a package providing a known bibliography
environment (such as natbib), or use the `defaultbib' package
option as a workaround; please see the section about `Warnings
and error messages' in `bibtopic.dvi' for details.

If you go to: Document ... Settings ... Document Class ... 

and then edit the Custom field to add

defaultbib

then as far as I can see things should work.

Hi Jerry,

Did you ever consider trying to open the LyXML or whatever it's called
in LibreOffice, and then from LibreOffice exporting it to MSWord
format? That just might work.

Solved:

I just have to leave out the last two characters, as the first 6 represent the 
rgb colors in hex.
so #FFFF translates into:

[[ \textcolor[HTML]{FF}{$\blacksquare$ ]] my caption [[ } ]]

where [[  ]] stands for ERT.

And I have a filled square in the text and the caption in the colour used in R 
for plotting.

Ups - should have been:
###
I just added the following converter:

\converter "xhtml" "msdocx" "pandoc -o $$o $$i" ""
\converter "xhtml" "odt lo" "pandoc -o $$o $$i" ""

I found out how to solve it:

in vancouver.bst
(which is in my case in home/wolfgang/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/bibtex/bst/)

change
nameptr #6
to
nameptr #2

and 
numname #6
to
numname #2

I saved this changed vancouver.bst to vancouver2etal.bst
in order not to interfere with the original file 
and added this to document>settings  bibliography style>default style
WHICH DID NOT WORK
however, if I changed vancouver2etal.bst to vancouver.bst
(by saving the original vancouver.bst preliminary as vancouverOrig.bst)
IT WORKED
namely, only maximally 2 authors in the bibliography, if more: et al after 
the second one

My question:
why was vancouver2etal in bibliography style>default style not recognized? 
I did a reconfigure before.

check pandoc - I am using pandoc to convert xhtml to docx and odt - works 
perfect for me. I just

\converter "xhtml" "msdocx" "pandoc -o $$o $$i" ""
\converter "xhtml" "odt lo" "pandoc -o $$o $$i" ""added the following converter:

You have to play with the LyX xhtml or the eLyXer xhtml - I used LyXHTRML 
because it workded
better in my case.

I really think that pandoc should be detected automatically by LyX (when doing 
reconfigure) and
added as it provides very usable conversions.
