LyX files and subversion

How does splitting of files in LyX work when creating larger projects with

Either use the document options 3headlines,headinclude or specify the

footnote in a figure

Re: Fuzzy fonts (Hebrew)

[Peleg Michaeli]

Hey...

First of all - thanks for your reply.

Before I do all of your suggested tests (which I will do) I just have to
say: it seems like the pdf you've sent me has fuzzy Hebrew as well!

Well - as I understand, PDF should embed the fonts inside it, so it's
not impossible that we see the documents in two computers in two
different ways; so for the example, I will add here links to two
documents that I have generated using LyX, one while I had Windows, and
one in my ubuntu. The two documents are generated from the same source
file, so you'll probably see the huge differences.

The link to the windows generated PDF is here:
- http://www.freeall.org/peleg/math/TOP_MMN16-C-windows.pdf
And the link the the ubuntu generated PDF is here:
- http://www.freeall.org/peleg/math/TOP_MMN16-C-ubuntu.pdf

See the difference?

Here is the source for BOTH of the PDFs:
- http://www.freeall.org/peleg/math/TOP_MMN16.lyx

Thanks again,
hopefully I will do the rest of the tests some other time.

All else failing, you can try generating your own style using the

referencing of websites/URLs in bibliography problem

[Hans J. Prueller]

hi there,

I have been using LyX for writing scientific documents for some years
now and I am very happy with it. Some
weeks ago, I got stuck with a problem and did not succeed in solving it
yet. The problem is that I have to hold
a submission deadline, i.e. the problem gets more and more urgent ;-)
ANY tips that could help me are appreciated!

I have to reference some websites/URLs in bibliography. My bibliography
is a managed bibtex-file using JabRef.
A exemplary bibtex entry looks like this:

@OTHER{SJWTK,
  title = {Sun Java Wireless Toolkit},
  owner = {hansp},
  timestamp = {2007.12.16},
  url = {http://java.sun.com/products/sjwtoolkit/}
}

When I add a reference in the LyX document to the above, it is correctly
printed in bibliography like the
other entries - but the URL attribute is omitted, e.g.:

[7]  
[8] Sun java wireless toolkit.
[9] 


Are there any ways to make LyX also printing the URL's of bibtex
entries???

regards,
HANS

footnote in a figure

[Aleksandar Kanchev]

Hello,

is it possible to add a footnote in a figure's caption? I want to point 
out the sources of the pictures/figures that I use in my article. 
Whenever I add a footnote to a figure's caption I get some syntax error 
while trying to preview the content in DVI or PDF.
Is there a better way to do this? Adding them at the end of the caption 
looks kind of ugly.



Thanks,

And the link the the ubuntu generated PDF is here:

no. both are nearly identical (ok, the win version seem to have more
bold font.) i havent installed any hebrew things here, but acroread
shows both without any problems. 
if you reboot to win and look on your links above, do you still see the

i guess it has nothing to do with tex but just your screen font or adobe reader
(whats your version btw?) gets something wrong. i remember some old versions of
adobe acrobat have problems with rendering fonts...

referencing of websites/URLs in bibliography problem

[Hans J. Prueller]

hi there,

I have been using LyX for writing scientific documents for some years
now and I am very happy with it. Some
weeks ago, I got stuck with a problem and did not succeed in solving it
yet. The problem is that I have to hold
a submission deadline, i.e. the problem gets more and more urgent ;-)
ANY tips that could help me are appreciated!

I have to reference some websites/URLs in bibliography. My bibliography
is a managed bibtex-file using JabRef.
A exemplary bibtex entry looks like this:

@OTHER{SJWTK,
  title = {Sun Java Wireless Toolkit},
  owner = {hansp},
  timestamp = {2007.12.16},
  url = {http://java.sun.com/products/sjwtoolkit/}
}

When I add a reference in the LyX document to the above, it is correctly
printed in bibliography like the
other entries - but the URL attribute is omitted, e.g.:

[7]  
[8] Sun java wireless toolkit.
[9] 


Are there any ways to make LyX also printing the URL's of bibtex
entries???

regards,
HANS

The general rule is that layout files have the same name as the LaTeX

Well, no wonder. You added a \vspace at the beginning of the address field. 
Since the first line is taken as the "toname" value, as you correctly 
guessed, the "toname" is the \vspace. Thus you do not get a real name in the 
heading, but a \vspace instead, which puts the header down.

Instead of inserting such things in the letter, _always_ use KOMA's length 
values. In this case, something like

% vertical position of the address field

in preamble should do.

Section 2.4 in my copy.

Either use the document options "3headlines,headinclude" or specify the 
margins in Document->Settings->Margins, where you can adjust the head height 
(however, you will probably have to adjust all your margins then, since the 
geometry package has different default margins than KOMA).

I'll return the example file to you in PM.

moderncv class & usage?

[Yoav Felberbaum]

Hullo,

A bit of a newbie to this (Used LyX in the distant past, & trying to  
relearn the ropes!).


I'm trying to use the moderncv document class on LyX 1.5.3 on OS X  
10.5.2, but keep running into issues left and right even though it  
doesn't seem that I'm doing anything unusual...


*) if I have a row of List Item, they end up looking really spaced  
out, with an extra line feed. Is there a way to have a 'normal- 
looking' list?
*) I have a "Language" but LyX keeps complaining - "Paragraph ended  
before \cvlanguage was complete".


---

\section{Languages}


\cvlanguage{a_language}

{Proficient}{hmmm}


*) I can't even render the "example" template_en.tex as when I import  
it & render it, I get the same error as above (Paragraph ended before  
\cventry  was complete".


It's a bit irksome, as I'd have thought LyX was supposed to make this  
a bit easier - i.e. write the document, applying the appropriate  
markup & voila, it 'renders' without errors! Instead, I keep getting  
errors all the time *sighs*


TIA for any assistance you folks are able to provide!

custom-bib package.  It supports URLs (I assume this is what you have in 
mind by a URI?).  I don't think it supports retrieval dates, but I'm not 
sure.  In any case, you might be able to hack the .bst file afterward to 
insert retrieval dates.

no. both are nearly identical (ok, the win version seem to have more
bold font.) i havent installed any hebrew things here, but acroread
shows both without any problems. 
if you reboot to win and look on your links above, do you still see the 
difference ?

i guess it has nothing to do with tex but just your screen font or adobe reader
(whats your version btw?) gets something wrong. i remember some old versions of
adobe acrobat have problems with rendering fonts...

referencing of websites/URLs in bibliography problem

[Hans J. Prueller]

hi there,

I have been using LyX for writing scientific documents for some years
now and I am very happy with it. Some
weeks ago, I got stuck with a problem and did not succeed in solving it
yet. The problem is that I have to hold
a submission deadline, i.e. the problem gets more and more urgent ;-)
ANY tips that could help me are appreciated!

I have to reference some websites/URLs in bibliography. My bibliography
is a managed bibtex-file using JabRef.
A exemplary bibtex entry looks like this:

@OTHER{SJWTK,
  title = {Sun Java Wireless Toolkit},
  owner = {hansp},
  timestamp = {2007.12.16},
  url = {http://java.sun.com/products/sjwtoolkit/}
}

When I add a reference in the LyX document to the above, it is correctly
printed in bibliography like the
other entries - but the URL attribute is omitted, e.g.:

[7]  
[8] Sun java wireless toolkit.
[9] 


Are there any ways to make LyX also printing the URL's of bibtex
entries???

regards,
HANS

Re: footnote in a figure

[Tobias Krause]

Hello,

I have to use footnotes in floats for my thesis as well and wrote a
package which helps to handle footnotes in floats. Unfortunately due to
the work on my thesis I'll not be able to finish the documentation
before mid of march.
People who really need to use footnotes in floats may write an email
directly to me - if they are able to figure out how the package works
from an example document and a German documentation.

Regards
 Toby

Hello,

is it possible to add a footnote in a figure's caption? I want to 
point out the sources of the pictures/figures that I use in my 
article. Whenever I add a footnote to a figure's caption I get some 
syntax error while trying to preview the content in DVI or PDF.
Is there a better way to do this? Adding them at the end of the 
caption looks kind of ugly.



Thanks,
Aleksandar
