LyX/Mac 1.4.4 Released

[Andreas Busch]

Hi Bennett,

many thanks for providing the new files. However, after I installed  
them, I found that (at least the PPC version) is still LyX 1.4.3.


After initial confusion I checked the binary contained in the .dmg  
file, and it gives 1.4.3 as the LyX version. So some error must have  
occured on the way...


Looking forward to the new new version ;-)

Andreas

Re: problem with bibtex using LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.4.4 - bug found

is causing endless hours of work for users, you and people who try to help
on the list.
The download size is not an issue if you use the full installer only for the
first time, and for later updates only the minimal installer.

I am pretty sure that this case will not be the last one of a missing python
file if you continue to ship a stripped down python. We rely heavily on
python for lyx2lyx and other helper scripts, and nobody who changes one of
these is going to look whether the change will require another python file

Re: problem with bibtex using LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.4.4 - bug found

[Julio Rojas]

I believe that's true. Actually, after the first Python error I had with
1.4.4, the first thing I did was to install a full version of Python. I also
believe you should reconsider this decision.

Re: bibliography styles

[Sophie Vandenbussche]

Hello again,

Looking more carefully to things, it seems my problem is more 
complicated than choosing a style. I found examples on the internet and 
it seems that, as Maria said, the plainnat.bst corresponds to what I am 
looking for. But at the moment, no matter what style I choose, I obtain 
things like that:


Maria del Carmen Fernandez-Alonso, Francisco Javier Canada, Jesus
Jimenez-Barbero, and Gabriel Cuevas. Molecular recognition of saccharides
by proteins. insights on the origin of the carbohydrate-aromatic 
interactions.

Role: BSU (Biological study, unclassied), PRP (Properties), BIOL 
(Biological

hydrogen bonding).


Also (and I don't have any idea if this is related or not), when 
clicking on the Bibtex Bibliography Button, I get several times this 
message:


The script 'C:/Program Files/LyX14/Resources/scripts/TeXFiles.py' failed

It drives me crazy...

Maria Gouskova a écrit :

Sophie,

What you describe looks a lot like plainnat.bst, which is included in
LyX. In any case, you probably should use Natbib. For more on Natbib,
see the following page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/HumanitiesLyX#toc12

I'd look at the .bst files included in your basic distribution. If you
don't find anything suitable, there is also a command-line program
called custom-bib that allows you to make your own .bst files.

You should give a complete example lyx file, bst file and bib file.

Normally the bibliography should be formatted like you want. The parameter

Stupid table question

I have a (probably) very stupid question: How do I add rows or  
columns to an existing table in LyX 1.4.4? Previously, in 1.3.x, I  
right-clicked the table, and there was a button add row or  
something. Now there's no such thing.

If your editor accepts LaTeX, the publisher may well provide 
a .bst file.  Worth checking.

Also, comp.text.tex may be a good place for your question.
(I'm afraid I haven't hacked a .bst file in many years.)

TeXperts: using hyperref to refer to label containing # in external document

[Daniel Lohmann]

Hi LyX-Folks,

I am writing a document that refers to specific pages or chapters of other 
 documents. In the resulting PDF, the reader should be able to navigate 
directly to the referred document and page. I am using the hyperref package 
to generate the links.


Problem is that I am not the author of the documents to refer to. I have 
just the PDFs. Moreover, they most probably have not been created with 
LaTeX, but with Word or worse.


I already figured out how Word (respective the Acrobat plugin) generates 
navigation labels for pages. For pages 1,2,3,... there are PDF labels 
Page#1, Page#2, Page#3, and so on available (without the quotes).


If I use the \hyperref command such as:

\hyperref{external.pdf}{Page}{2}

this generates a link to the correct document (external.pdf), however to 
the label Page.2, which does not exist -- it has to be Page#2.


So I tried to redefine the command that is used inside hyperref to generate 
the target label names. This looks like:


\def\@@hyperref#1#2#3{%
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]@one\\{#1}%
}

OK, the second line is responsible for inserting the dot (.) between the 
second and the third parameter. However, while I successfully managed to 
replace it with almost any character, I have not been able to use # for 
this purpose. This is probably because # is a magic character for LaTeX 
that must not be used inside names.


I have the slight feeling that I am out of luck here :-(

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Daniel

Lyx 1.4.4 for windows crashes

[John Brown]

Hello,

I just installed 1.4.4 for windows using the Standard web installer
found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.4/lyx-144-2.exe. The
installation seems to complete just fine, but when I double click on
the icon it crashes with a message lyxc.exe has encountered a problem
and needs to close

I also installed it in another computer using the network installation
package found at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.4/lyx-144-2-bundle.exe and it did
the same thing.

After I acknowledge the error screen another screen pops up with the message.
Lyx has been closed because of an unexpected situation. This is most
likely caused by a flow in the software. When you open your documents
again, you will be able to restore an emergency save and continue
working. Would you like to view detailed information about this
error?  After I click on the Yes button I get yet another screen that
says.

Error Information

See chapter 3 of the Lyx Introduction (Help  Introduction) for
information about reporting this issue.

Debug log:

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Re: Lyx 1.4.4 for windows crashes

[Sophie Vandenbussche]

Hello,

I have had some installation problems also and I finally reached the 
conclusion that it was the firewall that caused the trouble. When MikTex 
is installed, it needs an access to the internet. Usually the firewall 
asks if you agree to give access to the internet to that program but 
in this case it does not. So what worked for me was to uninstall 
completely Lyx and MikTex, then disable the firewall and reinstall 
everything back. I don't know if your problem is related to the one I 
had, but maybe you want to try this.

If you are a native speaker (somebody else?), could you just tell me what you

PUNCTUATION BETWEEN SECTIONS (BLOCKS):
(*) \newblock after blocks (periods or new lines with openbib option)
(c) Comma between blocks
(s) Semi-colon between blocks
(b) Blanks between blocks
(t) Period after titles of articles, books, etc else commas
(u) Colon after titles of articles, books, etc else commas
(a) Period after titles of articles else commas
(d) Colon after titles of articles else commas
  Select: ? Wolfgang

The example is correct, except that the first line should start left and the 
next line(s -if more) should be indented
I do not understand what blocks mean here, and is period here a dot?
I am really sorry, but I asked my coauthor and he could not help me either.

I can go through the rest of the makebst myself until I find the place were 
the indent is made (and might ask again if I do not understand). Thanks

It's probably best that this is sorted out as the first priority!

You need to make sure that custom-bib is installed then

latex makebst

follow the prompts and the result is a yourfile.bst which is a
bibstyle definition file. You need to ensure that the package
babelbst.tex is installed and is visible to TeX (run texhash after
placing the package in the tex path (which can be determined using
kpse). If you can't find the babelbst.tex file on your distro then
make a file called e.g. babelbst.ins with these contents:

% This is babelbst.ins
\input docstrip.tex
\keepsilent
\askforoverwritefalse
\generate{%
\file{babelbst.tex}{\from{merlin.mbs}{bblbst}}%
}
\endbatchfile
\endinput

Then latex babelbst.ins and the resulting file is babelbst.tex, run
texhash etc, then can take either the (whatever you call
yourstyle.bst and place it in the tex path or else generate it from
the yourstyle.dbj using

latex yourstyle.dbj

Then go to Regenerate in LyX and then quit/restart and select this
custom style file in the bibliography button.



I have tried to make a bst file using makebst.
Unfortunately I am not familiar with all the English terms
and must have missed the place where I tell the idention

Is it acceptable to have a citation-key to the left?  If so then you
might be able to use e.g. one of the authordate styles depicted
here: http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kjt/software/latex/showbst.html

If you don't want e.g. [1] or [Author2022] appearing in each work
cited entry in the bibliography then you probably want to modify the
natbib style as you're doing and look into changing the values of
bibhang and bibsep (see e.g. _The LaTeX Companion_, 2nd Edition Frank
Mittelback, Michael Goosens, Johannes Brahms, David Carlisle, Chris
Rowley
12.3.2 Customizing the bibliography layout)

I hope some of the above is useful.  I suspect that the problem is
that your TeX path doesn't include the new bib style or you haven't
generated it fully.  That may be producing a blank indentation at the
start of each line.  (You can examine some of these values using e.g.
kpsepath bib to see which directories are examined by TeX for
bibliographies or kpsepath tex to see the directories examined for
installed TeX packages.  info kpsepath gives further details on
GNU/Linux or UNIX systems).

The easiest thing is that the publisher provides you with the .bst file

mathtime font problems

[Bob Lounsbury]

Hi,

I just installed 1.4.4 using the LyXWinInstaller from 2-11. The bibtex
problems went away. Thank you.

I just figured out my math font display problems, but I don't know how to
solve them.

I had the mathtime package loaded in the preamble of one of my documents and
this messes up the math fonts. I verified the package is installed under
MikTeX. Is there something else I need to have installed to use this
package?

Cheers,
Bob

What exactly goes wrong? Do you see an alpha when you insert the command \alpha in math? If no, try 
to reinstall the math fonts you find in LyX's installation subfolder

\Resources\fonts

If this helps, have you installed e.g. LyX 1.4.3 using the official installer before you installed 
LyX 1.4.4?

If I insert \alpha in math it comes up blank in instant preview and in pdf
output. If I insert an equals sign it shows up blank in instant preview and
a bold capital D in pdf output. See the attached image, it should look like:

V=IR
V=I*R

I just reinstalled all the math fonts from the bakoma package on the LyX
site. I reconfigured, restarted the computer, ran MikTeX update twice,
reconfigured, and the problem still exists.

This is only if I try to use the mathtime package. Otherwise everything
seems to be working fine.

Using alternate 1.4.4 Windows Lyx Installer instead of the one that doesn't work

[Jim Rockford]

This message is really in response to Uwe Stöhr, who has been counseling
troubled Windows users like me who have been unable to
get a working installation of Lyx 1.4.4.  Like many others, I've been
encountering an immediate crash of lyxc.exe upon trying to
launch Lyx.  The newest installer  'lyx-144-2.exe'  failed for me as well as
the previous one.  Following Uwe's suggestion, I tried the installer from

http://developer.berlios.de/projects/lyxwininstall

The small installer I used was 'LyXWin144Small-2-11.exe'

I am happy to report that this actually worked for me on Windows XP (32
bit).  My initial installs failed on two different 32-bit Windoze machines,
but this other installer worked on both of them. There is just one mildly
annoying message I see whenever
I launch a lyx file, and it's related to bibtex.  Maybe this is to be
expected, but I always get a complaint from the command window saying
that lyx couldn't find the bibtex .bib files I specified within the lyx
file.  It's not a crippling error.  I can generate a
PDF view and all the references are there correctly.  Is this message simply
due to the fact that lyx initially looks for .bbl files that aren't there? I
never quite understood this feature of lyx.  I remember the days when a
latex compilation resulted in a .bbl file being created locally (which makes
it easier to collaborate, since you could send the .bbl along with the
document and your co-writer could see the references without needing the
bibtex databases).

One final thing.  My naive hope that the Lyx Installer would also work for
64-bit XP was dashed.  It didn't work.  When I attempted to launch lyx I
would see a brief flash of the command window, which would then disappear,
and no lyx window would appear.

In fact, I seem to have quite a bit more trouble with lyx in a 64-bit
environment.  In 64-bit Fedora Core 6, I'm finding that lyx cannot convert
PDF figures.  I believe I have all the necessary ingredients installed like
ImageMagick, but I get numerous errors such as
'/usr/share/lyx/scripts/convertDefault.py ERROR'.  I could use a bit of help
with this, actually.

Thanks for your help.

Jim

Hi Uwe,

you wrote:

 I fixed two remaining bugs in the installer and published this as installer 
 version 2.11:

 http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=12253


I did the following:

- deinstalling ImageMagick
- deinstalling LyX (installer v2.10)
- leaving MikTex installed

Then installing the v2.11 full installer (which correctly noticed that MikTex 
was installed)

Two problems occured, 1st one:

At one of the last steps, a crash occured, complaining about a missing 
msvcr71.dll:

http://www.tubes.mynetcologne.de/misc/lyx_crash_win_v144-2.11.jpg (30kB)

Just hitting the enter key the installation continues and eventually leaves a 
seemingly working LyX installation.

So, both installers seem to have problems related to either a msvcr80.dll or 
msvcr71.dll, on the same machine.

Second problem:

The installer did *not* install the new ImageMagick, although it correctly 
stated (at the beginning of the installation process) that this package will be 
installed. Maybe this is a follow-up error to the first one, but I don´t know.

Regards,

Tom Schlangen

LyX/Mac 1.4.4 Released

[Andreas Busch]

Hi Bennett,

many thanks for providing the new files. However, after I installed  
them, I found that (at least the PPC version) is still LyX 1.4.3.


After initial confusion I checked the binary contained in the .dmg  
file, and it gives 1.4.3 as the LyX version. So some error must have  
occured on the way...


Looking forward to the new new version ;-)

I believe that's true. Actually, after the first Python error I had with

believe you should reconsider this decision.

Maria Gouskova a écrit :

Sophie,

What you describe looks a lot like plainnat.bst, which is included in
LyX. In any case, you probably should use Natbib. For more on Natbib,
see the following page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/HumanitiesLyX#toc12

I'd look at the .bst files included in your basic distribution. If you
don't find anything suitable, there is also a command-line program
called custom-bib that allows you to make your own .bst files.

You should give a complete example lyx file, bst file and bib file.

Normally the bibliography should be formatted like you want. The parameter

If your editor accepts LaTeX, the publisher may well provide

Also, comp.text.tex may be a good place for your question.

 You should give a complete example lyx file, bst file and bib file.

 Normally the bibliography should be formatted like you want. The parameter
 for formatting the paragraphs is bibhang

Charles, thanks
but is this situation here concerning paragraphs? Its just ident the lines if

TeXperts: using hyperref to refer to label containing # in external document

[Daniel Lohmann]

Hi LyX-Folks,

I am writing a document that refers to specific pages or chapters of other 
 documents. In the resulting PDF, the reader should be able to navigate 
directly to the referred document and page. I am using the hyperref package 
to generate the links.


Problem is that I am not the author of the documents to refer to. I have 
just the PDFs. Moreover, they most probably have not been created with 
LaTeX, but with Word or worse.


I already figured out how Word (respective the Acrobat plugin) generates 
navigation labels for pages. For pages 1,2,3,... there are PDF labels 
Page#1, Page#2, Page#3, and so on available (without the quotes).


If I use the \hyperref command such as:

\hyperref{external.pdf}{Page}{2}

this generates a link to the correct document (external.pdf), however to 
the label Page.2, which does not exist -- it has to be Page#2.


So I tried to redefine the command that is used inside hyperref to generate 
the target label names. This looks like:


\def\@@hyperref#1#2#3{%
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]@one\\{#1}%
}

OK, the second line is responsible for inserting the dot (.) between the 
second and the third parameter. However, while I successfully managed to 
replace it with almost any character, I have not been able to use # for 
this purpose. This is probably because # is a magic character for LaTeX 
that must not be used inside names.


I have the slight feeling that I am out of luck here :-(

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Daniel

Lyx 1.4.4 for windows crashes

[John Brown]

Hello,

I just installed 1.4.4 for windows using the Standard web installer
found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.4/lyx-144-2.exe. The
installation seems to complete just fine, but when I double click on
the icon it crashes with a message lyxc.exe has encountered a problem
and needs to close

I also installed it in another computer using the network installation
package found at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.4/lyx-144-2-bundle.exe and it did
the same thing.

After I acknowledge the error screen another screen pops up with the message.
Lyx has been closed because of an unexpected situation. This is most
likely caused by a flow in the software. When you open your documents
again, you will be able to restore an emergency save and continue
working. Would you like to view detailed information about this
error?  After I click on the Yes button I get yet another screen that
says.

Error Information

See chapter 3 of the Lyx Introduction (Help  Introduction) for
information about reporting this issue.

Debug log:

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Completed


Because I don't have a way to run Lyx I can't get to the chapter 3 of
the Lyx introduction

Anybody knows how to get 1.4.4 running in windows?

Thanks

Re: Lyx 1.4.4 for windows crashes

[Sophie Vandenbussche]

Hello,

I have had some installation problems also and I finally reached the 
conclusion that it was the firewall that caused the trouble. When MikTex 
is installed, it needs an access to the internet. Usually the firewall 
asks if you agree to give access to the internet to that program but 
in this case it does not. So what worked for me was to uninstall 
completely Lyx and MikTex, then disable the firewall and reinstall 
everything back. I don't know if your problem is related to the one I 
had, but maybe you want to try this.

Dear Charles,
I do appreciate your help, but I can't send you a more than 400 reference-file
If you are a native speaker (somebody else?), could you just tell me what you

Somers, D., Devlin, P. and Kay, S. (1998) Phytochromes and cryptochromes

(c) Comma between blocks
(s) Semi-colon between blocks
(b) Blanks between blocks
(t) Period after titles of articles, books, etc else commas
(u) Colon after titles of articles, books, etc else commas
(a) Period after titles of articles else commas
(d) Colon after titles of articles else commas
  Select: ? Wolfgang

The example is correct, except that the first line should start left and the 
next line(s -if more) should be indented
I do not understand what blocks mean here, and is period here a dot?
I am really sorry, but I asked my coauthor and he could not help me either.
Thanks in advance.
I can go through the rest of the makebst myself until I find the place were 
the indent is made (and might ask again if I do not understand). Thanks

It's probably best that this is sorted out as the first priority!

You need to make sure that custom-bib is installed then

latex makebst

follow the prompts and the result is a yourfile.bst which is a
bibstyle definition file. You need to ensure that the package
babelbst.tex is installed and is visible to TeX (run texhash after
placing the package in the tex path (which can be determined using
kpse). If you can't find the babelbst.tex file on your distro then
make a file called e.g. babelbst.ins with these contents:

% This is babelbst.ins
\input docstrip.tex
\keepsilent
\askforoverwritefalse
\generate{%
\file{babelbst.tex}{\from{merlin.mbs}{bblbst}}%
}
\endbatchfile
\endinput

Then latex babelbst.ins and the resulting file is babelbst.tex, run
texhash etc, then can take either the (whatever you call
yourstyle.bst and place it in the tex path or else generate it from
the yourstyle.dbj using

latex yourstyle.dbj

Then go to Regenerate in LyX and then quit/restart and select this
custom style file in the bibliography button.



I have tried to make a bst file using makebst.
Unfortunately I am not familiar with all the English terms
and must have missed the place where I tell the idention

I got
Somers, D., Devlin, P. and Kay, S. (1998) Phytochromes and cryptochromes

1490.
 But wanted the first line left and the next lines right.


Is it acceptable to have a citation-key to the left?  If so then you
might be able to use e.g. one of the authordate styles depicted
here: http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kjt/software/latex/showbst.html

If you don't want e.g. [1] or [Author2022] appearing in each work
cited entry in the bibliography then you probably want to modify the
natbib style as you're doing and look into changing the values of
bibhang and bibsep (see e.g. _The LaTeX Companion_, 2nd Edition Frank
Mittelback, Michael Goosens, Johannes Brahms, David Carlisle, Chris
Rowley
12.3.2 Customizing the bibliography layout)

I hope some of the above is useful.  I suspect that the problem is
that your TeX path doesn't include the new bib style or you haven't
generated it fully.  That may be producing a blank indentation at the
start of each line.  (You can examine some of these values using e.g.
kpsepath bib to see which directories are examined by TeX for
bibliographies or kpsepath tex to see the directories examined for
installed TeX packages.  info kpsepath gives further details on
GNU/Linux or UNIX systems).

The easiest thing is that the publisher provides you with the .bst file

mathtime font problems

[Bob Lounsbury]

Hi,

I just installed 1.4.4 using the LyXWinInstaller from 2-11. The bibtex
problems went away. Thank you.

I just figured out my math font display problems, but I don't know how to
solve them.

I had the mathtime package loaded in the preamble of one of my documents and
this messes up the math fonts. I verified the package is installed under
MikTeX. Is there something else I need to have installed to use this
package?

Cheers,
Bob

What exactly goes wrong? Do you see an alpha when you insert the command \alpha in math? If no, try 
to reinstall the math fonts you find in LyX's installation subfolder

\Resources\fonts

If this helps, have you installed e.g. LyX 1.4.3 using the official installer before you installed 
LyX 1.4.4?

If I insert \alpha in math it comes up blank in instant preview and in pdf
output. If I insert an equals sign it shows up blank in instant preview and
a bold capital D in pdf output. See the attached image, it should look like:

V=IR
V=I*R

I just reinstalled all the math fonts from the bakoma package on the LyX
site. I reconfigured, restarted the computer, ran MikTeX update twice,
reconfigured, and the problem still exists.

This is only if I try to use the mathtime package. Otherwise everything
seems to be working fine.

Using alternate 1.4.4 Windows Lyx Installer instead of the one that doesn't work

[Jim Rockford]

This message is really in response to Uwe Stöhr, who has been counseling
troubled Windows users like me who have been unable to
get a working installation of Lyx 1.4.4.  Like many others, I've been
encountering an immediate crash of lyxc.exe upon trying to
launch Lyx.  The newest installer  'lyx-144-2.exe'  failed for me as well as
the previous one.  Following Uwe's suggestion, I tried the installer from

http://developer.berlios.de/projects/lyxwininstall

The small installer I used was 'LyXWin144Small-2-11.exe'

I am happy to report that this actually worked for me on Windows XP (32
bit).  My initial installs failed on two different 32-bit Windoze machines,
but this other installer worked on both of them. There is just one mildly
annoying message I see whenever
I launch a lyx file, and it's related to bibtex.  Maybe this is to be
expected, but I always get a complaint from the command window saying
that lyx couldn't find the bibtex .bib files I specified within the lyx
file.  It's not a crippling error.  I can generate a
PDF view and all the references are there correctly.  Is this message simply
due to the fact that lyx initially looks for .bbl files that aren't there? I
never quite understood this feature of lyx.  I remember the days when a
latex compilation resulted in a .bbl file being created locally (which makes
it easier to collaborate, since you could send the .bbl along with the
document and your co-writer could see the references without needing the
bibtex databases).

One final thing.  My naive hope that the Lyx Installer would also work for
64-bit XP was dashed.  It didn't work.  When I attempted to launch lyx I
would see a brief flash of the command window, which would then disappear,
and no lyx window would appear.

In fact, I seem to have quite a bit more trouble with lyx in a 64-bit
environment.  In 64-bit Fedora Core 6, I'm finding that lyx cannot convert
PDF figures.  I believe I have all the necessary ingredients installed like
ImageMagick, but I get numerous errors such as
'/usr/share/lyx/scripts/convertDefault.py ERROR'.  I could use a bit of help
with this, actually.

Thanks for your help.

Re: 2nd bugfix to: [announce] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.4.4

[Tom Schlangen]

Hi Uwe,

you wrote:

 I fixed two remaining bugs in the installer and published this as installer 
 version 2.11:

 http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=12253


I did the following:

- deinstalling ImageMagick
- deinstalling LyX (installer v2.10)
- leaving MikTex installed

Then installing the v2.11 full installer (which correctly noticed that MikTex 
was installed)

Two problems occured, 1st one:

At one of the last steps, a crash occured, complaining about a missing 
msvcr71.dll:

http://www.tubes.mynetcologne.de/misc/lyx_crash_win_v144-2.11.jpg (30kB)

Just hitting the enter key the installation continues and eventually leaves a 
seemingly working LyX installation.

So, both installers seem to have problems related to either a msvcr80.dll or 
msvcr71.dll, on the same machine.

Second problem:

The installer did *not* install the new ImageMagick, although it correctly 
stated (at the beginning of the installation process) that this package will be 
installed. Maybe this is a follow-up error to the first one, but I don´t know.

Regards,

Tom Schlangen

LyX/Mac 1.4.4 Released

[Andreas Busch]

Hi Bennett,

many thanks for providing the new files. However, after I installed  
them, I found that (at least the PPC version) is still LyX 1.4.3.


After initial confusion I checked the binary contained in the .dmg  
file, and it gives 1.4.3 as the LyX version. So some error must have  
occured on the way...


Looking forward to the new new version ;-)

IMO you should reconsider the decision to ship a stripped down python. This
is causing endless hours of work for users, you and people who try to help
on the list.
The download size is not an issue if you use the full installer only for the
first time, and for later updates only the minimal installer.

I am pretty sure that this case will not be the last one of a missing python
file if you continue to ship a stripped down python. We rely heavily on
python for lyx2lyx and other helper scripts, and nobody who changes one of
these is going to look whether the change will require another python file
in the windows installer.

Re: problem with bibtex using LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.4.4 - bug found

I believe that's true. Actually, after the first Python error I had with
1.4.4, the first thing I did was to install a full version of Python. I also
believe you should reconsider this decision.

Re: bibliography styles

Hello again,

Looking more carefully to things, it seems my problem is more 
complicated than choosing a style. I found examples on the internet and 
it seems that, as Maria said, the plainnat.bst corresponds to what I am

things like that:

Also (and I don't have any idea if this is related or not), when 
clicking on the Bibtex Bibliography Button, I get several times this

It drives me crazy...

Maria Gouskova a écrit :

Sophie,

What you describe looks a lot like plainnat.bst, which is included in
LyX. In any case, you probably should use Natbib. For more on Natbib,
see the following page:

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/HumanitiesLyX#toc12

I'd look at the .bst files included in your basic distribution. If you
don't find anything suitable, there is also a command-line program
called custom-bib that allows you to make your own .bst files.

You should give a complete example lyx file, bst file and bib file.

Normally the bibliography should be formatted like you want. The parameter
for formatting the paragraphs is bibhang

Stupid table question

Hi!

I have a (probably) very stupid question: How do I add rows or  
columns to an existing table in LyX 1.4.4? Previously, in 1.3.x, I  
right-clicked the table, and there was a button "add row" or  
something. Now there's no such thing.

If your editor accepts LaTeX, the publisher may well provide 
a .bst file.  Worth checking.

Also, comp.text.tex may be a good place for your question.
(I'm afraid I haven't hacked a .bst file in many years.)

TeXperts: using hyperref to refer to label containing # in external document

[Daniel Lohmann]

Hi LyX-Folks,

I am writing a document that refers to specific pages or chapters of other 
 documents. In the resulting PDF, the reader should be able to navigate 
directly to the referred document and page. I am using the hyperref package 
to generate the links.


Problem is that I am not the author of the documents to refer to. I have 
just the PDFs. Moreover, they most probably have not been created with 
LaTeX, but with Word or worse.


I already figured out how Word (respective the Acrobat plugin) generates 
navigation labels for pages. For pages 1,2,3,... there are PDF labels 
"Page#1", "Page#2", "Page#3", and so on available (without the quotes).


If I use the \hyperref command such as:

\hyperref{external.pdf}{Page}{2}

this generates a link to the correct document (external.pdf), however to 
the label "Page.2", which does not exist -- it has to be "Page#2".


So I tried to redefine the command that is used inside hyperref to generate 
the target label names. This looks like:


\def\@@hyperref#1#2#3{%
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]@one\\{#1}%
}

OK, the second line is responsible for inserting the dot (".") between the 
second and the third parameter. However, while I successfully managed to 
replace it with almost any character, I have not been able to use "#" for 
this purpose. This is probably because "#" is a magic character for LaTeX 
that must not be used inside names.


I have the slight feeling that I am out of luck here :-(

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Daniel

Lyx 1.4.4 for windows crashes

[John Brown]

Hello,

I just installed 1.4.4 for windows using the Standard web installer
found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.4/lyx-144-2.exe. The
installation seems to complete just fine, but when I double click on
the icon it crashes with a message "lyxc.exe has encountered a problem
and needs to close"

I also installed it in another computer using the network installation
package found at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.4/lyx-144-2-bundle.exe and it did
the same thing.

After I acknowledge the error screen another screen pops up with the message.
"Lyx has been closed because of an unexpected situation. This is most
likely caused by a flow in the software. When you open your documents
again, you will be able to restore an emergency save and continue
working. Would you like to view detailed information about this
error?"  After I click on the Yes button I get yet another screen that
says.

"Error Information

information about reporting this issue.

Because I don't have a way to run Lyx I can't get to the chapter 3 of

Re: Lyx 1.4.4 for windows crashes

[Sophie Vandenbussche]

Hello,

I have had some installation problems also and I finally reached the 
conclusion that it was the firewall that caused the trouble. When MikTex 
is installed, it needs an access to the internet. Usually the firewall 
"asks" if you agree to give access to the internet to that program but 
in this case it does not. So what worked for me was to uninstall 
completely Lyx and MikTex, then disable the firewall and reinstall 
everything back. I don't know if your problem is related to the one I 
had, but maybe you want to try this.

Dear Charles,
I do appreciate your help, but I can't send you a more than 400 reference-file
If you are a native speaker (somebody else?), could you just tell me what you 
would answer in the PUNCTUATION BETWEEN SECTIONS (BLOCKS) case if you want a 
result like this one:

Somers, D., Devlin, P. and Kay, S. (1998) Phytochromes and cryptochromes 
in the entrainment of the Arabidopsis circadian clock. Science 282,

PUNCTUATION BETWEEN SECTIONS (BLOCKS):
(*) \newblock after blocks (periods or new lines with openbib option)
(c) Comma between blocks
(s) Semi-colon between blocks
(b) Blanks between blocks
(t) Period after titles of articles, books, etc else commas
(u) Colon after titles of articles, books, etc else commas
(a) Period after titles of articles else commas
(d) Colon after titles of articles else commas
  Select: ? Wolfgang

The example is correct, except that the first line should start left and the 
next line(s -if more) should be indented
I do not understand what blocks mean here, and is period here a dot?
I am really sorry, but I asked my coauthor and he could not help me either.
Thanks in advance.
I can go through the rest of the makebst myself until I find the place were 
the indent is made (and might ask again if I do not understand). Thanks 
indeed for your help

A "Block" refers to elements belonging together, i.e. the name(s) of the 
author(s) form a block. A period is a "."

The problem with Your example is that You would like to have a space 
after the authors block and a period after the title block. makebst 
cannot cope with several block separators, so You have to edit the .bst 
file manually. I could take a look on the .bst file You have created if 
You mail it to me.

BTW, if You send a P(rivate)M(ail) to me with the .bst file attached, 
please list all wishes the style should fulfill. And you can use 
German, too.

Kind regards
Kimmo

It's probably best that this is sorted out as the first priority!

You need to make sure that custom-bib is installed then

latex makebst

follow the prompts and the result is a yourfile.bst which is a
bibstyle definition file. You need to ensure that the package
babelbst.tex is installed and is visible to TeX (run texhash after
placing the package in the tex path (which can be determined using
"kpse). If you can't find the babelbst.tex file on your distro then
make a file called e.g. babelbst.ins with these contents:

% This is babelbst.ins
\input docstrip.tex
\keepsilent
\askforoverwritefalse
\generate{%
\file{babelbst.tex}{\from{merlin.mbs}{bblbst}}%
}
\endbatchfile
\endinput

Then latex babelbst.ins and the resulting file is babelbst.tex, run
texhash etc, then can take either the (whatever you call
"yourstyle.bst" and place it in the tex path or else generate it from
the yourstyle.dbj using

latex yourstyle.dbj

Then go to Regenerate in LyX and then quit/restart and select this
custom style file in the bibliography button.

here: http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kjt/software/latex/showbst.html

If you don't want e.g. [1] or [Author2022] appearing in each work
cited entry in the bibliography then you probably want to modify the
natbib style as you're doing and look into changing the values of
bibhang and bibsep (see e.g. _The LaTeX Companion_, 2nd Edition Frank
Mittelback, Michael Goosens, Johannes Brahms, David Carlisle, Chris
Rowley
12.3.2 Customizing the bibliography layout)

I hope some of the above is useful.  I suspect that the problem is
that your TeX path doesn't include the new bib style or you haven't
generated it fully.  That may be producing a blank indentation at the
start of each line.  (You can examine some of these values using e.g.
"kpsepath bib" to see which directories are examined by TeX for
bibliographies or "kpsepath tex" to see the directories examined for
installed TeX packages.  "info kpsepath" gives further details on
GNU/Linux or UNIX systems).

The easiest thing is that the publisher provides you with the .bst file
