Can LyX repeat custom styles (related to word's "style for next paragraph")?
I posted quite a detailed question on the tex stack exchange here:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/255936/17868
The short version is that I'm using LyX 2.1.3 on Windows with the
Exam.cls and a layout file I've customized.
In the context of a \begin{questions} environment (defined in a Flex
Inset), I'd like to know if it's possible for LyX to automatically
repeat a certain style within. For example, it's intuitive within this
environment to repeat the Question style (which is a LatexType Command
that maps to \question[]{}). LyX always gives me 'Plain Layout' within
the inset to start. When I set it to Question, type the question and
press return, I get again a 'Plain Layout'. I would like Question to be
the "style for next paragraph" within this inset.
I can *almost* do this with an LatexType Item_Environment which gives me
Enumerated (\item) styles. However, I'd like to state which LyX style to
repeat within my custom environment.
The exam.cls is a great example of where this would be useful. There are
repeating elements within various nestable environments. For example:
questions, question
parts, part
subparts, subpart
subsubparts, subsubpart
choices, choice (or CorrectChoice)
checkboxes, choice (or CorrectChoice)
Having this feature in LyX would allow easy creation of exams. It's
already possible to nest the style in the inset, but a manual change
from 'Plain Layout' to the respective equivalent of \item is required.
Furthermore, if LyX set the style by default, it would simplify the
choice. For now, users need to know which Style goes inside which Inset
(legally for LaTeX, that is).
A similar question was asked some time ago here: http://lyx-
users.lyx.narkive.com/3RGUc265/lyx-layout-file-for-multiple-choice-exam-
anybody-have-examdesign-layout-working
Any ideas if this is possible in LyX 2.1.3? If not, should I suggest it
as a feature for the future?

Biblatex not not found by LyX work on new computer / OS 10.10.3
Hello, I have problems using biblatex an my new computer for weeks now, and could not find the problem. I run LyX 2.1.3 on OS 10.10.3. I installed the current bib latex.module, but it could not be found by LyX. Could you please tell me, where the biblatex.module has to be placed? LyX/about LyX tells me to put it into: library/application support/LyX-2.1/ It is not placed exactly there, but has an own folder at that place: /layouts. I hope this is fine. It has a .txt-ending, is that correct? (biblatex.module.txt) BTW: On my old system (OSX10.8) it was placed in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/ but in OS 10.10.3 it seems to have a new place. Thank you! Jess
Re: Restore original layout for Source and Progress panes
I found a quicker solution than reinstalling the whole software, by simply deleting the registry entry "layout" under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LyX\LyX2.1\views\0. I think deleting the line in lyx.conf for Unix users should work as well. The problem is that other layout configurations are lost as well, as the visible toolbars and their locations. But at least it restores the original layout for the Source and Message panes. If someone is interested to automate it, here is the command to run on Windows 7 : Reg delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LyX\LyX2.1\views\0 /v layout /f Gilles On 18 July 2015 at 10:29, Liviu Andronic wrote: > On Sat, Jul 18, 2015 at 9:31 AM, Gilles Moyse > wrote: > > It doesn't work in my case (Lyx 2.1.3), there is no such button when the > > pane is undocked. > > > If all else fails, and this is important, try starting with a fresh > config to let LyX reinitialize the toolbars. > > Liviu > > > > When I looked in my registry (I'm using the Windows version during the > > week-end) I found the following values for what seems to me related to > the > > panes Progress and Source : > > > > [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LyX\LyX2.1\views\0\progress] > > > "geometry"=hex:40,00,42,00,79,00,74,00,65,00,41,00,72,00,72,00,61,00,79,00,28,00,01,00,d9,00,d0,00,cb,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,ff,00,ff,00,fc,00,cf,00,ff,00,ff,00,fb,00,76,00,ff,00,ff,00,fe,00,0b,00,ff,00,ff,00,fe,00,0b,00,ff,00,ff,00,fc,00,cf,00,ff,00,ff,00,fb,00,76,00,ff,00,ff,00,fe,00,0b,00,ff,00,ff,00,fe,00,0b,00,ff,00,ff,00,ff,00,ff,00,00,00,00,00,29,00 > > "autoclear"="true" > > "statusbarmsgs"="true" > > > > [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LyX\LyX2.1\views\0\view-source] > > > "geometry"=hex:40,00,42,00,79,00,74,00,65,00,41,00,72,00,72,00,61,00,79,00,28,00,01,00,d9,00,d0,00,cb,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,00,55,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,da,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,00,55,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,da,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,29,00 > > "autoupdate"="true" > > > > Do you know where are the original values for the "geometry" fields in > order > > to restore the 2 panes in their original state? > > > > Thanks in advance, > > > > Gilles > > > > > > On 18 July 2015 at 08:22, Liviu Andronic wrote: > >> > >> On Sat, Jul 18, 2015 at 7:44 AM, Gilles Moyse > >> wrote: > >> > I tried that but it only undocks the pane.

Re: Restore original layout for Source and Progress panes
It doesn't work in my case (Lyx 2.1.3), there is no such button when the pane is undocked. When I looked in my registry (I'm using the Windows version during the week-end) I found the following values for what seems to me related to the panes Progress and Source : [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LyX\LyX2.1\views\0\progress] "geometry"=hex:40,00,42,00,79,00,74,00,65,00,41,00,72,00,72,00,61,00,79,00,28,00,01,00,d9,00,d0,00,cb,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,ff,00,ff,00,fc,00,cf,00,ff,00,ff,00,fb,00,76,00,ff,00,ff,00,fe,00,0b,00,ff,00,ff,00,fe,00,0b,00,ff,00,ff,00,fc,00,cf,00,ff,00,ff,00,fb,00,76,00,ff,00,ff,00,fe,00,0b,00,ff,00,ff,00,fe,00,0b,00,ff,00,ff,00,ff,00,ff,00,00,00,00,00,29,00 "autoclear"="true" "statusbarmsgs"="true" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LyX\LyX2.1\views\0\view-source] "geometry"=hex:40,00,42,00,79,00,74,00,65,00,41,00,72,00,72,00,61,00,79,00,28,00,01,00,d9,00,d0,00,cb,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,00,55,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,da,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,00,55,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,da,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,29,00 "autoupdate"="true" Do you know where are the original values for the "geometry" fields in order to restore the 2 panes in their original state?
