citation problem with publication from same author, same year
Hello everyone,
this is my first post here and I hope it's ok to ask. I already did an
intensive search on the internet regarding my question but I somehow
can't find any pages that are related.
I have a problem with the implementation of a BibTex library in Lyx/
Latex. The problem occurs when I name publications from the same
author and the same year with a,b,c etc.
So I want it to occur like this in the Document: (Tanaka 2001b) but
after having the file compiled to a pdf the outcome is somewhat like
this (Tanaka 001b). For some reason the citation only refers to the
last four letters in the field year so the first number is not
written in the pdf.
I use natbib with apa-style and set \bibpunct[: ]{(}{)}{}{}{ }{} to
make the citation more customlike
Does anyone experienced a similar problem? If yes, can you could give
me some advice?
Thanks, ben
Re: citation problem with publication from same author, same year
In the bibtex file, do you have the year filed as 2001a, 2001b? That's not
necessary, entries by the same author and w/ the same year will be
automatically appended a, b, etc. by bibtex!

Re: Help with importing a latex file generated from texmacs
Hello,
thanks for your help, I followed your advice and replaced theorem with
thm, corollary with cor etc.. . As for environments I use use for the moment
just enumerate instead of enumeratealpha etc. using for the moment emacs to
do these replacements I have something better in lyx now. For my real
conversion I still have a problem left, texmacs creates also some macros like
\newcommand{\nin}{\not\in}
\newcommand{\nni}{\not\ni}
\newcommand{\tmop}[1]{\ensuremath{\operatorname{#1}}}
\newcommand{\tmsamp}[1]{\textsf{#1}}
\newcommand{\tmtextbf}[1]{{\bfseries{#1}}}
\newcommand{\tmtextit}[1]{{\itshape{#1}}}
\newcommand{\tmtexttt}[1]{{\ttfamily{#1}}}
\newcommand{\um}{-}
that is not shown correctly in lyx once imported, can you give me some hints
how to solve this. Please not that I'm not a latex specialist (but I can
guess from the above that something like \tmop{and} should be expanded in
\ensuremath{\operatorname{and}} ). Does there exist some way that these
substitutions are made automatically or should I write code that does this
before doing the import in lyx.
Thanks a lot in advance

everything is rendered in the correct way.
Right. The conversion is done by a program tex2lyx that does not
recognize the environments you are using. The things it does recognize
are detailed in the manpage for the program.
Is there a way to import latex files containing macros in lyx
(more specifically latex generated by texmacs).
Yeah, improve tex2lyx. ;-)
Seriously, the only way to do this (other than manually) would be to
write some kind of program that does the conversion.
Actually, there is a bit more you can do here. If you change the
document class from letter to amsbook, say, then LyX will convert the
proof environment: This is because amsbook defines that environment, so
LyX knows about it. Similarly, if you change theorem to thm---which
is how it is done in amsmath.inc---then LyX will also convert that. Same
goes for proposition -- prop. So that's another option.

See section 10.6 of the manual for memoir (memman.pdf). As there
explained, the bibliography heading is produced by the \bibsection
command, which by default sets the bibliography as an unnumbered
chapter, which of course starts on a new page. So you need to
\renewcommand{\bibsection}, as there explained.

Some of these are clearly macros for use in math. For these, after the
import, you can just create appropriate math macros, as detailed in
section 5.6. of the User Guide. Then they'll show up correctly, I think.
I don't myself understand the point of \tmsamp. It looks like it's just
an alias for \textsf, and the same goes for \tmtextbf, etc. So I'd just
search-replace those. As for \um, the same should do, more or less,
though you might want to check where this is turning up.

scaling xfig previews
Hi, LyXers, I've noticed that in the 1.6.0svn versions (for example, today's revision 26278), the External Material dialog (when inserting a figure, e.g.) gives the tab LaTeX and LyX Options. In this tab, there is the Show in LyX and resultant Scale on Screen option, where I usually have a scale less than 100% chosen. However, in the recent builds, this scale doesn't seem to do anything (everything shows up at 100%). Is there something I can change to enable the actual scaling?

pdfpages and filenames
In LyX 1.4 I used to be able to just use the filename with the
includepdf command in ERT, \includepdf{myfile}
In LyX 1.5.5 it seems that I need to put the full pathname and
filename, \includepdf{\very\long\path\myfile}
which is inconvenient because the pathname is very long and some of
the directories may contain spaces.
If I export to latex and compile outside of lyx the
\includepdf{myfile} works fine.
Any way to just use \includepdf{myfile} in LyX 1.5.5?

Could you run LyX with a debugger and post its output here? In the console, type: - "gdb lyx" - "run" - (after it crashed): "bt" Jürgen

Have a look at Preferences->Output->LaTeX. If the "Makeindex Command" is "texindy [...]", change it to "makeindex -c -q". The problem is that the nomencl package relies of makeindex and fails with xindy. This will be fixed in 1.5.7 and 1.6, where the nomencl and index converters are separated. Jürgen

How can I stop the bibliography from starting on a new page when using
the memoir class?
See section 10.6 of the manual for memoir (memman.pdf). As there
explained, the bibliography heading is produced by the \bibsection
command, which by default sets the bibliography as an unnumbered
chapter, which of course starts on a new page. So you need to
\renewcommand{\bibsection}, as there explained.

In the bibtex file, do you have the "year" filed as 2001a, 2001b? That's not
necessary, entries by the same author and w/ the same year will be
automatically appended a, b, etc. by bibtex!
And bibtex will automatically ignore anything after the first four
characters

Hello everyone,
this is my first post here and I hope it's ok to ask. I already did an
intensive search on the internet regarding my question but I somehow can't
find any pages that are related.
I have a problem with the implementation of a BibTex library in Lyx/Latex.
The problem occurs when I name publications from the same author and the
same year with a,b,c etc.
So I want it to occur like this in the Document: (Tanaka 2001b) but after
having the file compiled to a pdf the outcome is somewhat like this (Tanaka
001b). For some reason the citation only refers to the last four letters in
the field "year" so the first number is not written in the pdf.
I use natbib with apa-style and set "\bibpunct[: ]{(}{)}{}{}{ }{}" to make
the citation more customlike
Does anyone experienced a similar problem? If yes, can you could give me
some advice?
Thanks, ben

Hello,
thanks for your help, I followed your advice and replaced theorem with
thm, corollary with cor etc.. . As for environments I use use for the moment
just enumerate instead of enumeratealpha etc. using for the moment emacs to
do these replacements I have something better in lyx now. For my real
conversion I still have a problem left, texmacs creates also some macros like
\newcommand{\nin}{\not\in}
\newcommand{\nni}{\not\ni}
\newcommand{\tmop}[1]{\ensuremath{\operatorname{#1}}}
\newcommand{\tmsamp}[1]{\textsf{#1}}
\newcommand{\tmtextbf}[1]{{\bfseries{#1}}}
\newcommand{\tmtextit}[1]{{\itshape{#1}}}
\newcommand{\tmtexttt}[1]{{\ttfamily{#1}}}
\newcommand{\um}{-}
that is not shown correctly in lyx once imported, can you give me some hints
how to solve this. Please not that I'm not a latex specialist (but I can
guess from the above that something like \tmop{and} should be expanded in
\ensuremath{\operatorname{and}} ). Does there exist some way that these
substitutions are made automatically or should I write code that does this
before doing the import in lyx.
Some of these are clearly macros for use in math. For these, after the
import, you can just create appropriate math macros, as detailed in
section 5.6. of the User Guide. Then they'll show up correctly, I think.
I don't myself understand the point of \tmsamp. It looks like it's just
an alias for \textsf, and the same goes for \tmtextbf, etc. So I'd just
search-replace those. As for \um, the same should do, more or less,
though you might want to check where this is turning up.

scaling xfig previews
Hi, LyXers, I've noticed that in the 1.6.0svn versions (for example, today's revision 26278), the External Material dialog (when inserting a figure, e.g.) gives the tab LaTeX and LyX Options. In this tab, there is the "Show in LyX" and resultant "Scale on Screen" option, where I usually have a scale less than 100% chosen. However, in the recent builds, this scale doesn't seem to do anything (everything shows up at 100%). Is there something I can change to enable the actual scaling? Thanks, C.O. / Down with categorical imperative! [EMAIL PROTECTED] /
pdfpages and filenames
In LyX 1.4 I used to be able to just use the filename with the
includepdf command in ERT, \includepdf{myfile}
In LyX 1.5.5 it seems that I need to put the full pathname and
filename, \includepdf{\very\long\path\myfile}
which is inconvenient because the pathname is very long and some of
the directories may contain spaces.
If I export to latex and compile outside of lyx the
\includepdf{myfile} works fine.
Any way to just use \includepdf{myfile} in LyX 1.5.5?
thanks
steve
