Bibliography as a numbered section
Hello.
I'm writing an article with LyX. I'm using numbered sections. I want
the bibliography to be one of those sections, but when I insert it to
my document, it creates a TOC like this:
1. Introduction
2. System Model
3. Integration
References
4. Intelectual Property
How can I have a bibliography that behaves like one more numbered section ?
This is what LyX generates when I insert the bibliography:
\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}\bibliography{referencias}
The bibliography is not the last section. I need other sections to be after.
Thanks in advance.

Cannot move a LyX file to another Folder
Hello, I have a weird problem. I created a LyX file on my Desktop and it is impossible to move it to another Folder (I use Lyx 1.5.6 with Mac Os X Leopard 10.5.5). I tried to move it, to copy it, to open it in Lyx and to save it to another Folder, to copy the content to a new LyX file and to save to another Folder, but any option I try gives my the same result: I can open LyX and then open the file, but I cannot open the file in LyX through directly clicking on the file. Each time I try this, LyX crashes and close. Is it due to the fact that I have included figures in my file? How can I solve that? Thanks in advance, Olivier

Re: Cannot move a LyX file to another Folder
Hi Bennett, Well, not very easy because when I copy a small part of my file (I have around 280 pages) and paste it in a new file, everything is fine. As soon as I copy/paste about 90% of the file, then it crashes (with the same result starting from the beginning or from the end). Impossible to isolate a specific part of the file that would cause the crash. I tried to take only the beginning, the middle and the end, and each time it works well. It is really the whole file which is a problem. Would you like me to send the full version to you? Thanks for your help.

Hi all: I'd be grateful for any tips you could give me to prepare my Lyx-crafted book for the printer, who basically uses Windows software. I've outputted the work as PDF. He says that he needs to import it into Corel Draw. PDF files would create photos without a screen he says. These are BW photos. (i) Is this right? (ii) If so, how do I get around this?

using macros in child document
Hello - I am trying to implement a master-child document setup where the child documents share macros defined in the master document. The problem I am running into is in editing the child documents - the macros don't show up. I can't seem to figure out how else to do this except to insert the macros in the child document while I am working on that document individually, but I have to remove those macros before I put it back into the master document, because I run into problems when I try including the macros twice. So, is it possible to get around this extra step of inserting and removing the macros? Thanks, Charles == [When Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope] Oh, she says well, you're not a poor man.

This is an old problem. If you want to use 1.5 and solve it, there is some stuff on the wiki about how to do it: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/ChildMathMacros. The first rule is that you have to open the master first, THEN open the child. LyX 1.6 resolves this problem, and several others related to macros. rh
Idiot's guide to creating a new style - or inset?
Dear LyXians,
Despite doing my best looking through the wiki and email archives, I'm
stumped, and I think I'd better ask for help.
I'd like to use \textsuperscript{} and \textsubscript{} (available in
the KOMA-script classes) to generate 'true' super- and sub-scripts. I
can do this with ERT of course, but it looks ugly and interrupts the
flow of reading.
Is there a way in which I can add a new style (?char style ?inset) so
that all I see of the \textsuperscript{XYZ} is the parameter, i.e. XYZ
(perhaps in some particular font).
I think I need to be creating a new InsetLayout, but I don't know
exactly what to put in the file or where to save it for it to be
accessible as a module.
I know that documentation for this is coming soon but I'd like to learn
as soon as possible.
Many thanks
~Nick

Yes, that's what you need. Try something like this:
#\DeclareLyXModule{TextSuperSub}
#DescriptionBegin
#Adds an endnote inset, in addition to footnotes. You will need to add
#\theendnotes in ERT where you want the endnotes to appear.
#DescriptionEnd
Format 11
InsetLayout Custom:Superscript
LyXTypecustom
LatexNametextsuperscript
LatexTypecommand
Decoration classic
Font
SizeSmall
EndFont
MultiPar false
LabelStringsuper
End
and something similar for subscripts. Save it to textsupersub.module in
your LyX layouts directory and reconfigure. You can tweak it as you wish.
Documentation is in the Customization manual, section 5.3.6. Look at
endnotes.module and the other modules for more ideas.
FYI, if you add something to the preamble so this can be used with
non-Koma classes, e.g.:
\ifx\textsuperscript\undefined{
\newcommand\textsuperscript{...}
\fi
this could be included in 1.6.x. Often requested.

In addition, if Nick needs this type of thing for several different uses
(superscript for quantities of atoms in a molecule vs. superscript for (R)),
then he should have one of these things for each one. That way, if he later
wants to make atom quantities bigger or smaller or bold but leave (R) alone,
he can do so.

Hi Richard,
What's the difference bettween InsetLayout, CharacterStyle and Environment?
When would you use InsetLayout over one of the others?
What is the Decoration LyX property (set to classic in your example)?

Yeah, I think it'd be quite useful. My script is very easy and as far as I remember it can break something when in your image there's such a single letter (it's stupid and inserts ~ almost everywhere ;-)). You can see it here - http://neo.mlodzi.pl/sierotki (three links described in polish: sierotki - script adding ~, pdflatex_pl described in my previous post and licence) Now you can also try a bug I was writing about.

That works brilliantly, thanks. Now how do I get the inset label to be

LyX 1.6.0. breaks down all the time
Hi, I just changed from LyX 1.5.6 to 1.6.0 and I really like the new features of the program but: Somehow LyX crashes all the time. For example when I am opening MS Outlook?!? Maybe it has to do something with the installer? Previously, I used the alternative installer, to install LyX 1.6.0. (Windows XP) I used the standard installer. How can I access the log-file of the crashes? There pops up a window of LyX, saying that I found a bug. But I cannot fully read or copy/paste the text. Regards Benno
\bind-files (Mac, 1.6)
Good morning LyXians,
I've made some useful key bindings to help me insert super/subscript text:
% Replace selected text with text subscript
\bind C-M-equal command-sequence cut;math-mode; math-subscript;
math-insert \text{;paste;math-insert };char-right;char-right;char-right
% Enter text subscript mode
\bind C-equal command-sequence math-mode; math-subscript; math-insert
\text{};char-right;char-right;char-right;char-left;down;char-left;
% Replace selected text with text superscript
\bind C-S-M-equal command-sequence cut;math-mode; math-superscript;
math-insert \text{;paste;math-insert };char-right;char-right;char-right
% Enter text superscript mode
\bind C-S-equal command-sequence math-mode; math-superscript;
math-insert
\text{};char-right;char-right;char-right;char-left;up;char-left;
Which I save as nick.bind in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/bind,
and switch the bind file in the preferences dialog to the file, my new
shortcuts work, but I lose the mac.bind bindings (as expected from
documentation).
To try to put them back I put
\bind-file mac
as the first line of nick.bind, save preferences and restart. Doesn't
work; I try \bind-file mac.bind, \bind-file mac, \bind-file mac.bind,
and none of these work either.
I then try copying my mac.bind file from /Applications/... to
~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/bind, and I still can't get the
\bind-file command to work.
I got what I want by adding my customisations to the bottom of the copy
of mac.bind placed in my userdir/bind. Is there a way of getting the
proper \bind-file behaviour to work?

Bibliography as a numbered section
Hello.
I'm writing an article with LyX. I'm using numbered sections. I want
the bibliography to be one of those sections, but when I insert it to
my document, it creates a TOC like this:
1. Introduction
2. System Model
3. Integration
References
4. Intelectual Property
How can I have a bibliography that behaves like one more numbered section ?
This is what LyX generates when I insert the bibliography:
\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}\bibliography{referencias}
The bibliography is not the last section. I need other sections to be after.
Thanks in advance.

How can I have a bibliography that behaves like one more numbered section ?
This is what LyX generates when I insert the bibliography:
\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}\bibliography{referencias}
The bibliography is not the last section. I need other sections to be after.

Re: Cannot move a LyX file to another Folder
Hi Bennett, Well, not very easy because when I copy a small part of my file (I have around 280 pages) and paste it in a new file, everything is fine. As soon as I copy/paste about 90% of the file, then it crashes (with the same result starting from the beginning or from the end). Impossible to isolate a specific part of the file that would cause the crash. I tried to take only the beginning, the middle and the end, and each time it works well. It is really the whole file which is a problem. Would you like me to send the full version to you? Thanks for your help.

Editor line spacing
Dear LyXians Is there a way of increasing the spacing between the lines in the *editor* (not the finished output)? Many thanks again Nick

Query about preparing a Lyx-crafted book for the printers (with photos)
Hi all: I'd be grateful for any tips you could give me to prepare my Lyx-crafted book for the printer, who basically uses Windows software. I've outputted the work as PDF. He says that he needs to import it into Corel Draw. PDF files would create photos without a screen he says. These are BW photos. (i) Is this right? (ii) If so, how do I get around this? A cc to my address would be much appreciated, since a print-job is awaiting. Thanks much!

using macros in child document
Hello - I am trying to implement a master-child document setup where the child documents share macros defined in the master document. The problem I am running into is in editing the child documents - the macros don't show up. I can't seem to figure out how else to do this except to insert the macros in the child document while I am working on that document individually, but I have to remove those macros before I put it back into the master document, because I run into problems when I try including the macros twice. So, is it possible to get around this extra step of inserting and removing the macros? Thanks, Charles == [When Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope] Oh, she says well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And, see some great looking babes.

Re: using macros in child document
Just to clarify: when I say the macros don't show up, what I mean is, if I define the macro \mymacro to insert a, then the formula (\mymacro + b) = c appears as ( + b ) = c unless I copy all the macros from the master document and paste them into the child document. == [When Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope] Oh, she says well, you're not a poor man.

This is an old problem. If you want to use 1.5 and solve it, there is some stuff on the wiki about how to do it: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/ChildMathMacros. The first rule is that you have to open the master first, THEN open the child. LyX 1.6 resolves this problem, and several others related to macros. rh
Idiot's guide to creating a new style - or inset?
Dear LyXians,
Despite doing my best looking through the wiki and email archives, I'm
stumped, and I think I'd better ask for help.
I'd like to use \textsuperscript{} and \textsubscript{} (available in
the KOMA-script classes) to generate 'true' super- and sub-scripts. I
can do this with ERT of course, but it looks ugly and interrupts the
flow of reading.
Is there a way in which I can add a new style (?char style ?inset) so
that all I see of the \textsuperscript{XYZ} is the parameter, i.e. XYZ
(perhaps in some particular font).
I think I need to be creating a new InsetLayout, but I don't know
exactly what to put in the file or where to save it for it to be
accessible as a module.
I know that documentation for this is coming soon but I'd like to learn
as soon as possible.
Many thanks
~Nick

Yes, that's what you need. Try something like this:
#\DeclareLyXModule{TextSuperSub}
#DescriptionBegin
#Adds an endnote inset, in addition to footnotes. You will need to add
#\theendnotes in ERT where you want the endnotes to appear.
#DescriptionEnd
Format 11
InsetLayout Custom:Superscript
LyXTypecustom
LatexNametextsuperscript
LatexTypecommand
Decoration classic
Font
SizeSmall
EndFont
MultiPar false
LabelStringsuper
End
and something similar for subscripts. Save it to textsupersub.module in
your LyX layouts directory and reconfigure. You can tweak it as you wish.
Documentation is in the Customization manual, section 5.3.6. Look at
endnotes.module and the other modules for more ideas.
FYI, if you add something to the preamble so this can be used with
non-Koma classes, e.g.:
\ifx\textsuperscript\undefined{
\newcommand\textsuperscript{...}
\fi
this could be included in 1.6.x. Often requested.

In addition, if Nick needs this type of thing for several different uses
(superscript for quantities of atoms in a molecule vs. superscript for (R)),
then he should have one of these things for each one. That way, if he later
wants to make atom quantities bigger or smaller or bold but leave (R) alone,
he can do so.

Hi Richard,
What's the difference bettween InsetLayout, CharacterStyle and Environment?
When would you use InsetLayout over one of the others?
What is the Decoration LyX property (set to classic in your example)?

Specific converter and child documents
Yeah, I think it'd be quite useful. My script is very easy and as far as I remember it can break something when in your image there's such a single letter (it's stupid and inserts ~ almost everywhere ;-)). You can see it here - http://neo.mlodzi.pl/sierotki (three links described in polish: sierotki - script adding ~, pdflatex_pl described in my previous post and licence) Now you can also try a bug I was writing about. Pozdrawiam ;-)

That works brilliantly, thanks. Now how do I get the inset label to be
equal to the parameter (e.g. XYZ in \textsuperscript{XYZ})? Or should I
be using a user defined char style (??) ?

LyX 1.6.0. breaks down all the time
Hi, I just changed from LyX 1.5.6 to 1.6.0 and I really like the new features of the program but: Somehow LyX crashes all the time. For example when I am opening MS Outlook?!? Maybe it has to do something with the installer? Previously, I used the alternative installer, to install LyX 1.6.0. (Windows XP) I used the standard installer. How can I access the log-file of the crashes? There pops up a window of LyX, saying that I found a bug. But I cannot fully read or copy/paste the text. Regards Benno
\bind-files (Mac, 1.6)
Good morning LyXians,
I've made some useful key bindings to help me insert super/subscript text:
% Replace selected text with text subscript
\bind C-M-equal command-sequence cut;math-mode; math-subscript;
math-insert \text{;paste;math-insert };char-right;char-right;char-right
% Enter text subscript mode
\bind C-equal command-sequence math-mode; math-subscript; math-insert
\text{};char-right;char-right;char-right;char-left;down;char-left;
% Replace selected text with text superscript
\bind C-S-M-equal command-sequence cut;math-mode; math-superscript;
math-insert \text{;paste;math-insert };char-right;char-right;char-right
% Enter text superscript mode
\bind C-S-equal command-sequence math-mode; math-superscript;
math-insert
\text{};char-right;char-right;char-right;char-left;up;char-left;
Which I save as nick.bind in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/bind,
and switch the bind file in the preferences dialog to the file, my new
shortcuts work, but I lose the mac.bind bindings (as expected from
documentation).
To try to put them back I put
\bind-file mac
as the first line of nick.bind, save preferences and restart. Doesn't
work; I try \bind-file mac.bind, \bind-file mac, \bind-file mac.bind,
and none of these work either.
I then try copying my mac.bind file from /Applications/... to
~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/bind, and I still can't get the
\bind-file command to work.
I got what I want by adding my customisations to the bottom of the copy
of mac.bind placed in my userdir/bind. Is there a way of getting the
proper \bind-file behaviour to work?

Bibliography as a numbered section
Hello.
I'm writing an article with LyX. I'm using numbered sections. I want
the bibliography to be one of those sections, but when I insert it to
my document, it creates a TOC like this:
1. Introduction
2. System Model
3. Integration
References
4. Intelectual Property
How can I have a bibliography that behaves like one more numbered section ?
This is what LyX generates when I insert the bibliography:
\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}\bibliography{referencias}
The bibliography is not the last section. I need other sections to be after.
Thanks in advance.

Cannot move a LyX file to another Folder
Hello, I have a weird problem. I created a LyX file on my Desktop and it is impossible to move it to another Folder (I use Lyx 1.5.6 with Mac Os X Leopard 10.5.5).

Each time I try this, LyX crashes and close. Is it due to the fact that I have included figures in my file? How can I solve that? Thanks in advance, Olivier

Re: Cannot move a LyX file to another Folder
Hi Bennett, Well, not very easy because when I copy a small part of my file (I have around 280 pages) and paste it in a new file, everything is fine. As soon as I copy/paste about 90% of the file, then it crashes (with the same result starting from the beginning or from the end). Impossible to isolate a specific part of the file that would cause the crash. I tried to take only the beginning, the middle and the end, and each time it works well. It is really the whole file which is a problem. Would you like me to send the full version to you? Thanks for your help.

Re: Editor line spacing
Dear LyXians Is there a way of increasing the spacing between the lines in the *editor* (not the finished output)? Many thanks again Nick After some discussion overhere, we are wondering why you would like to do this. To be sure, do you know that if you increase the line spacing in Document Settings, the line spacing in the *editor* will also increase ? Vincent --from Berlin--
using macros in child document
Hello - I am trying to implement a master-child document setup where the child documents share macros defined in the master document. The problem I am running into is in editing the child documents - the macros don't show up. I can't seem to figure out how else to do this except to insert the macros in the child document while I am working on that document individually, but I have to remove those macros before I put it back into the master document, because I run into problems when I try including the macros twice. So, is it possible to get around this extra step of inserting and removing the macros? Thanks, Charles == [When Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope] Oh, she says well, you're not a poor man.

Re: using macros in child document
Just to clarify: when I say the macros don't show up, what I mean is, if I define the macro "\mymacro" to insert "a", then the formula "(\mymacro + b) = c" appears as " ( + b ) = c " unless I copy all the macros from the master document and paste them into the child document. == [When Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope] Oh, she says well, you're not a poor man.

This is an old problem. If you want to use 1.5 and solve it, there is some stuff on the wiki about how to do it: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/ChildMathMacros. The first rule is that you have to open the master first, THEN open the child. LyX 1.6 resolves this problem, and several others related to macros. rh
Idiot's guide to creating a new style - or inset?
Dear LyXians,
Despite doing my best looking through the wiki and email archives, I'm
stumped, and I think I'd better ask for help.
I'd like to use \textsuperscript{} and \textsubscript{} (available in
the KOMA-script classes) to generate 'true' super- and sub-scripts. I
can do this with ERT of course, but it looks ugly and interrupts the
flow of reading.
Is there a way in which I can add a new style (?char style ?inset) so
that all I see of the \textsuperscript{XYZ} is the parameter, i.e. XYZ
(perhaps in some particular font).
I think I need to be creating a new InsetLayout, but I don't know
exactly what to put in the file or where to save it for it to be
accessible as a module.
I know that documentation for this is coming soon but I'd like to learn
as soon as possible.
Many thanks
~Nick

Yes, that's what you need. Try something like this:
#\DeclareLyXModule{TextSuperSub}
#DescriptionBegin
#Adds an endnote inset, in addition to footnotes. You will need to add
#\theendnotes in ERT where you want the endnotes to appear.
#DescriptionEnd
Format 11
InsetLayout Custom:Superscript
LyXTypecustom
LatexNametextsuperscript
LatexTypecommand
Decoration classic
Font
SizeSmall
EndFont
MultiPar false
LabelStringsuper
End
and something similar for subscripts. Save it to textsupersub.module in
your LyX layouts directory and reconfigure. You can tweak it as you wish.
Documentation is in the Customization manual, section 5.3.6. Look at
endnotes.module and the other modules for more ideas.
FYI, if you add something to the preamble so this can be used with
non-Koma classes, e.g.:
\ifx\textsuperscript\undefined{
\newcommand\textsuperscript{...}
\fi
this could be included in 1.6.x. Often requested.

In addition, if Nick needs this type of thing for several different uses
(superscript for quantities of atoms in a molecule vs. superscript for (R)),
then he should have one of these things for each one. That way, if he later
wants to make atom quantities bigger or smaller or bold but leave (R) alone,
he can do so.

Hi Richard,
What's the difference bettween InsetLayout, CharacterStyle and Environment?
When would you use InsetLayout over one of the others?
What is the Decoration LyX property (set to "classic" in your example)?
Thanks

Specific converter and child documents
Yeah, I think it'd be quite useful. My script is very easy and as far as I remember it can break something when in your image there's such a single letter (it's stupid and inserts ~ almost everywhere ;-)). You can see it here - http://neo.mlodzi.pl/sierotki (three links described in polish: sierotki - script adding ~, pdflatex_pl described in my previous post and licence) Now you can also try a bug I was writing about. Pozdrawiam ;-)

That works brilliantly, thanks. Now how do I get the inset label to be
equal to the parameter (e.g. XYZ in \textsuperscript{XYZ})? Or should I
be using a user defined char style (??) ?

LyX 1.6.0. breaks down all the time
Hi, I just changed from LyX 1.5.6 to 1.6.0 and I really like the new features of the program but: Somehow LyX crashes all the time. For example when I am opening MS Outlook?!? Maybe it has to do something with the installer? Previously, I used the alternative installer, to install LyX 1.6.0. (Windows XP) I used the standard installer. How can I access the log-file of the crashes? There pops up a window of LyX, saying that I found a bug. But I cannot fully read or copy/paste the text. Regards Benno
\bind-files (Mac, 1.6)
Good morning LyXians,
I've made some useful key bindings to help me insert super/subscript text:
% Replace selected text with text subscript
\bind "C-M-equal" "command-sequence cut;math-mode; math-subscript;
math-insert \text{;paste;math-insert };char-right;char-right;char-right"
% Enter text subscript mode
\bind "C-equal" "command-sequence math-mode; math-subscript; math-insert
\text{};char-right;char-right;char-right;char-left;down;char-left;"
% Replace selected text with text superscript
\bind "C-S-M-equal" "command-sequence cut;math-mode; math-superscript;
math-insert \text{;paste;math-insert };char-right;char-right;char-right"
% Enter text superscript mode
\bind "C-S-equal" "command-sequence math-mode; math-superscript;
math-insert
\text{};char-right;char-right;char-right;char-left;up;char-left;"
Which I save as nick.bind in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/bind,
and switch the bind file in the preferences dialog to the file, my new
shortcuts work, but I lose the mac.bind bindings (as expected from
documentation).
To try to put them back I put
\bind-file "mac"
as the first line of nick.bind, save preferences and restart. Doesn't
work; I try \bind-file "mac.bind", \bind-file mac, \bind-file mac.bind,
and none of these work either.
I then try copying my mac.bind file from /Applications/... to
~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/bind, and I still can't get the
\bind-file command to work.
I got what I want by adding my customisations to the bottom of the copy
of mac.bind placed in my userdir/bind. Is there a way of getting the
proper \bind-file behaviour to work?
