 Thanks for all

I only tried tkbibtex, and it works fine with LyX. Things I appreciate
are:
- easy to install (just a tcl/tk script)
- a few command line option to sort, extract... entries of the bib file
- the popup menu for an easy insert of your strings (which have to be
defined in an hand made separate file)
- about five minutes needed to learn how to use the all features

The only problem I've saw is that existing bibfiles have to respect a
few constraints to be readable by the prog (one line/field...)

 Edit by hand

Not really. (Still it is an advantage of bibtex, that you are able to do so
with any normal text editor.)

 tkbibtex

This would be my program of choice: 
  - higly configurable (both from a user-rc file or by changing the skript)
  - easy and transparent in use
  - easy installation (just one file!) (of course you need a running tcl/Tk)
  - push to Lyx insertion of citations in LyX

 pybliographer (It's practical?)
  
Practical (becouse GUI) is pybliographic.  Still
  - more complex (in my opinion)
  
You see, my preference goes to tkbibtex (also, becouse I spend some months
on improving it, so no wonder it appeares to me as straightforward and fit
to my needs).

Push to LyX is no longer so important, as with LyX 1.6 you have the
possibility to scan the database from within LyX (ok, for larger databases
the find utility of the abovementioned programs is nice to have)

Both, tkbibtex and pybliographer become slow for large databases: 

For my previous institute I managed a large database with included abstacts
and annotations (ca. 800 entries, 18800 lines). Tkbibtex needs one minute to
read this in (and also long for full-text searches) and pybliographic is not
faster. (Becouse of the skripting-nature of both of them). 

In this case, gbib (http://gbib.seul.org/) might be a good choice, it has
push to LyX as well.

Finally: I believe it is a matter of taste - try them and see what you like
most.

2001-06-21 Thread Michelle Dukich

  Greetings:

I am trying to still find a way to put a block of
shaded text that is also outlined, into a very
specific location in my text.  This is what I have
done:

I made a few tables (in a separate Lyx file) using
only one column and different row amounts (the row
amounts are based on coming up with a width for each
line of text so that the widths are uniform between
tables).  

I used the right click-cell-multicolumn option to
remove the lines between the rows and to left align
the horizontal rows.  

I inserted TeX command to create shading (which goes
over the edge of my box...but then I may just lose the
table edges altogether and just stick with the
shading):

\definecolor{light}{grey}{.75}{\colorbox{light}{**table
here**}

I then cut and pasted them into my document.  What I
get is the boxes looking very nice, but not in nice
locations.  And I would prefer to have the text wrap
around them like in Section 1.8.3 of the Lyx Extended
Features online handbook.  

If you have been following my posts, this is still my
attempt at FLOAT-NOTE.  The other suggestions I have
not yet made work to my satisfaction.  

Thanks in advance.

Bibtex and apalike

2001-06-21 Thread José Ernesto Jardim

Hi

I'm using bibtex and apalike style to process references. I have two
problems (at least :-)

1) When there are more then 2 authors it doesn't process author et al.

2) It uses the entire author's name in the text. For example,

@Article{john99,
  Author = {{John Doe}},
  Title  = {A},
  institution= {BB},
  year   = 2000,
}

is printed on the text like (John Doe, 2000) instead of (Doe, 2000)

Can someone help me with this ?

Thanks

ps: I've included in the latex preamble \usepackage{apalike}

Not really a LyX question, but anyway:

I did not get kmail to display the messages of the daily digest, even with

Yep.

Layout - Document
Click on the _Extra_ tab

Make Section number depth 0 (with Report or Book you need to make it
negative)

You can also adjust the Table of contents depth at this point too.

The Section number depth value determines at which level you *stop*
giving your sections numbers (the default for Articles is 3 -- so
Sections have numbers, Sub-Sections and Sub-Sub-Sections...)

The Table of contents depth determines at which level you stop putting
headers into the table of contents -- so if you only want Sections and
SubSections in the table of contents, then make the depth 2.

The starred versions (eg Section*) are there to make headings that
aren't counted -- they don't have numbers, and they aren't added to
the table of contents.

2001-06-21 Thread Michelle Dukich

  Greetings:

I am trying to still find a way to put a block of
shaded text that is also outlined, into a very
specific location in my text.  This is what I have
done:

I made a few tables (in a separate Lyx file) using
only one column and different row amounts (the row
amounts are based on coming up with a width for each
line of text so that the widths are uniform between
tables).  

I used the right click-cell-multicolumn option to
remove the lines between the rows and to left align
the horizontal rows.  

I inserted TeX command to create shading (which goes
over the edge of my box...but then I may just lose the
table edges altogether and just stick with the
shading):

\definecolor{light}{grey}{.75}{\colorbox{light}{**table
here**}

I then cut and pasted them into my document.  What I
get is the boxes looking very nice, but not in nice
locations.  And I would prefer to have the text wrap
around them like in Section 1.8.3 of the Lyx Extended
Features online handbook.  

If you have been following my posts, this is still my
attempt at FLOAT-NOTE.  The other suggestions I have

Bibtex and apalike

2001-06-21 Thread José Ernesto Jardim

Hi

I'm using bibtex and apalike style to process references. I have two
problems (at least :-)

1) When there are more then 2 authors it doesn't process author et al.

2) It uses the entire author's name in the text. For example,

@Article{john99,
  Author = {{John Doe}},
  Title  = {A},
  institution= {BB},
  year   = 2000,
}

is printed on the text like (John Doe, 2000) instead of (Doe, 2000)

Can someone help me with this ?

Thanks

long view of digest messages with kmail

2001-06-21 Thread Peer Frank

Hi:

Not really a LyX question, but anyway:

I did not get kmail to display the messages of the daily digest, even with 
smart or inlined attachments activated, only the icons and message number are 
listed and have to be klicked, very annoying because one has to memorize the 
message number to klick open each subject of interest one by one (while 
Netscape messenger lists all messages in full length and detail).

Did anybody find a solution for this ?

Thanks

I only tried tkbibtex, and it works fine with LyX. Things I appreciate
are:
- easy to install (just a tcl/tk script)
- a few command line option to sort, extract... entries of the bib file
- the popup menu for an easy insert of your strings (which have to be
defined in an hand made separate file)
- about five minutes needed to learn how to use the all features

The only problem I've saw is that existing bibfiles have to respect a
few constraints to be readable by the prog (one line/field...)

Not really. (Still it is an advantage of bibtex, that you are able to do so
with any "normal" text editor.)

> tkbibtex

This would be my program of choice: 
  - higly configurable (both from a user-rc file or by changing the skript)
  - easy and transparent in use
  - easy installation (just one file!) (of course you need a running tcl/Tk)
  - "push to Lyx" insertion of citations in LyX

> pybliographer (It's practical?)
  
Practical (becouse GUI) is pybliographic.  Still
  - more complex (in my opinion)
  
You see, my preference goes to tkbibtex (also, becouse I spend some months
on improving it, so no wonder it appeares to me as straightforward and "fit
to my needs").

Push to LyX is no longer so important, as with LyX 1.6 you have the
possibility to scan the database from within LyX (ok, for larger databases
the "find" utility of the abovementioned programs is nice to have)

Both, tkbibtex and pybliographer become slow for large databases: 

For my previous institute I managed a large database with included abstacts
and annotations (ca. 800 entries, 18800 lines). Tkbibtex needs one minute to
read this in (and also long for full-text searches) and pybliographic is not
faster. (Becouse of the skripting-nature of both of them). 

In this case, gbib (http://gbib.seul.org/) might be a good choice, it has
"push to LyX" as well.

Finally: I believe it is a matter of taste - try them and see what you like
most.

Just put \protect in latex mode before the math inset, and also go into the

I never found a better solution than this bad solution. ;-)

1. Convert Lyx to HTML via tth
2. Start StarOffice :-( , load the HTML-File
3. Save the HTML-File as StarOffice-File
4. Reload the StarOffice-File
5. Save it as Word-File

All my dumb Word-Users never had problems with these files. ;-)

Perhaps it is possible to write a StarOffice-Macro to perform all
steps automagically. You can ask for it in a StarOffice-Newsgroup. If
you find a solution. please post it here!

> and in the other way rtf2doc or doc2lyx.

Isn't there a good Word-Import-Tool for LyX?

Yep.

Layout -> Document
Click on the _Extra_ tab

Make Section number depth 0 (with Report or Book you need to make it
negative)

You can also adjust the Table of contents depth at this point too.

The "Section number depth" value determines at which level you *stop*
giving your sections numbers (the default for Articles is 3 -- so
Sections have numbers, Sub-Sections and Sub-Sub-Sections...)

The "Table of contents depth" determines at which level you stop putting
headers into the table of contents -- so if you only want Sections and
SubSections in the table of contents, then make the depth 2.

The starred versions (eg Section*) are there to make headings that
aren't "counted" -- they don't have numbers, and they aren't added to
the table of contents.

I don't think it's an update problem, because the problem
exists on my system, too.

I searched the archive about this problem:

Is it possible that it's caused by some optimizing compiling
options of gcc as mentioned earlier?

If it's so, how can the source made robust to be protected

It is possible to disable compiler optimization if the compiler is gcc 2.96
(but recent versions of gcc 2.96 work correctly, so people with older
version should really upgrade).

Yes I know.

The problem is that, having the entry you're referring, I'm getting (Biber, D.
Conrad, S. and Reppen, R., 1999).

"long view" of digest messages with kmail

2001-06-21 Thread Peer Frank

Hi:

Not really a LyX question, but anyway:

I did not get kmail to display the messages of the daily digest, even with 
smart or inlined attachments activated, only the icons and message number are 
listed and have to be klicked, very annoying because one has to memorize the 
message number to klick open each subject of interest one by one (while 
Netscape messenger lists all messages in full length and detail).

Did anybody find a solution for this ?

Thanks
Peer
