Re: Tables without oldstylenums

However, I also have 50+ tables and if I've understood correctly one should not use oldstylenums except in the main text body. Is there any way to exclude these table floats from the generic option. I could of course mark every number in every table float as "math mode" but that would seem to be a lengthy operation, as would indeed be replacing all numbers in the text with ERT. Any suggestions? Unfortunately, LyX doesn't have options for turning oldstyle on/off for pieces of text - only for the whole document. At least if you use version 1.5. Various solutions: 1. Use ERT everywhere - but too much work. 2. Redefine the latex tabular environment so that it issues the "no oldstyle" command in addition to everything else it does. Then all tables comes out without oldstyle numbers. I don't know if this is feasible though. Version 1.5 may offer a solution if you're willing to create a custom layout file. Understanding layout files is some work, but gives these options: 3. Make a charstyle for "not oldstyle numbers". You can then mark anything and apply this style - the numbers marked will no longer be old-style. Easier than converting to math, because you can (probably) mark whole tables instead of hunting for each little number. You can also use this charstyle for numbers in uppercase headings. (Oldstyle numbers are lowercase, non-oldstyle numbers are uppercase numbers. So a number in uppercase text should not be oldstyle.) 4. For older versions of LyX, make a paragraph style (instead of a charstyle) for "standard, but not oldstyle numbers". Very much like alternative 3, except that it always works on whole paragraphs. But a table is usually in a paragraph of its own anyway, so not much of a problem here. You can then change the paragraph type for each table. Helge Hafting Thank You for all the suggestions! I think I will stick with the oldstyle figures in the tables also for now. If someone complains about it (which I seriously doubt), I can return to your suggestions. Many thanks! Niklas H.

That's what was throwing Richard and me off. LaTeX has no problem with
emphasis, but it doesn't hyphenate typewrite font. Put
\usepackage[htt]{hyphenat} in your preamble (and of course install the

Re: What is this? latex error iso-8859-7.def
Anthony Campbell wrote: Possibly related: I posted a query here a week or so ago but had no replies. When I run lyx I get a message saying: "Locale en_GB could not be set." This is because I use en_GB.UTF8. I don't see anyway to tell lyx to use a different locale but in my case it doesn't seem to have any adverse effects. This is on Debian Sid. I don't think it's related, other than tangentially. Chapter 4 of Help -> Customization talks a bit about locales and which environment variables to tweak. AFAIK, LyX is geared to using xx_XX codes for languages (e.g., en_GB if you like all those extra letters in your words). I don't know if setting an environment variable to en_GB.UTF8 will work; LyX might not recognize it. Being neither a Debian user nor a user of non-default locales, all I can suggest is the following. In /Resources/ you should find a file named languages. The entry for British is british british "British" false iso8859-15 en_GB "" At least I assume from the first three fields that it's British. :-) You might try either of the following tweaks: 1. change iso8859-15 to UTF-8; or 2. change en_GB to en_GB.UTF8. Then save, move a safe distance from the computer Just In Case, and restart LyX. Good luck, Paul

What you can do is: Try making the wrapped stuff smaller. Both narrower and shorter. This usually helps. Sometimes making it wider helps too. With less text beside your wrapped stuff, you push the next (sub)section further down and away from the wrapped region. Make sure that the only stuff that will get next to the wrap is ordinary text. OK...what am I supposed to be changing the size of? The only things I see are config windows called "Graphics" OR "Text Wrap Settings". I have changed all kinds of things in both those windows and see *absolutely no change whatsoever* in the LyX window appearance of the float box, graphic nor text (using 1.5.1). Is something suppose to be changing that I can see? The red (float?) box automatically goes full (column?) width and I see no way to adjust that. You don't see a change inside LyX when adjusting the width, but is some cases you may succeed in producing a wrapped float. I.e. you'll get something useful when printing or doing view->dvi. Now, perhaps the menu should read "insert->float->text wrap float(broken)" For this thing simply don't work well, and I don't think there is anything we can do with that either. Also, the text always starts at the bottom of the graphic--like "justified to bottom". How do I get the text to start at the top of the graphic so it actually has something to wrap around? You will not see the wrapping inside LyX, only in the output. LyX is not wysiwyg, it is wysiwym. (See the intro for an explanation.) Helge Hafting
Re: web references
I've been trying to understand how to include DOI and URL references within
bibtex so that they come out properly formatted for APA.
The kbibtex program is very good for keeping references in a bibtex file, and
allows lots of extra functionality, like keeping the DOI and URL references
so you can just click on them and it will bring up the document. However,
apacite doesn't use these fields and I have had to code them into
the 'howpublished' bibtex field to use with either the @article{} or @misc{}
types:
howpublished = {Retrieved 20 June 2007, from \doi{101.3...}}
This of course is annoying, as it means copying the info which is already in
the doi field into the howpublished field in a formatted manner.
Does anyone know of a neat bibtex macro that would build the howpublished
field from doi{}, url{} and retrieved{} fields?
How could we add an extra type of format into apacite.bst which uses
retrieved{}, url{} and doi{} fields?
And, for lyx, only the "article(APA)" document class works with apacite
without problems. All other document classes (like books) give errors when
building the document from with lyx. This is because the \usepackage{apacite}
has to come before the \usepackage[longnamesfirst]{natbib} package, which lyx
puts first into the preample. My solution so far has been to export the lyx
document to LaTeX and then eddit the .tex file to put the apacite reference
before the natbib reference (and add the longnamesfirst correction).

Re: web references
Thank you all so much! I was almost giving up and returning to manual bibliography building! After so much time spent on getting these tools working together, it would be really frustrating. The apacite user manual contains some discussion of listing URLs (specifically, whether line breaks are handled to APA specifications, and the relative merits of \href v. \url). You might also want to look at http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=citeURL for a suggestion about how/where to list web pages. The link you provided, Paul, had the solution: I'm now using the "Misc" entry type, on JabRef, and using the "howpublished" field to store the URL. Like that, the apacitex bibtex style seems to be able to integrate the URL in the printed bibliographic reference! Where may I find the apacite or the apacitex manual that you mentioned?
