biblatex for Lyx 1.6.1, OSX

[jezZiFeR]

Hello,

I´m trying to install biblatex, following the instructions of
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex

I tried to create a new file bblarticle.layout (for article-class)  
with Textedit and Lyx, but both are not able to save with the layout- 
suffix. I was not able to figure out, if it works with Texshop, I  
really don´t get it. Could somebody please tell me how to create the  
mentioned layout-file? Which program do I have to use to create layout- 
files?


In my user directory is an empty folder for layouts. If you need  
more information please let me know.


Thanks in advance, best*
Jess

I tried to experiment with Description type list but it always makes  
first

word bold and that looks ugly.

Re: biblatex for Lyx 1.6.1, OSX

[jezZiFeR]

Thanks! Now I´ve got two more questions:

1) How could I add biblatex for report (KOMA-Script)-class? I entered  
this text, which doesnßt work (Lyx doesn´t reconfigure):

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[report (KOMA-Script)]{report (KOMA-Script) (with  
biblatex)}


Format 11

# Load the report (KOMA-Script) class
Input report (KOMA-Script).layout

# this is biblatex actually
Provides natbib 1

What does Format 11 mean (I use this one, because I use Lyx 1.6.1)?


2) I still don´t get article-class working. After reconfiguring I  
entered the following into the preamble:


\usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\bibliography{filename as mentioned}

I could not follow the following line, as I don´t know, where the  
texmf-tree is. The next problem would be to do the sudo texhash:  
Do I need to enter just those two words in the terminal?


* Note that the bib file must either be located in your texmf-tree, or  
you must enter an absolute path in the command above. (Do not forget a  
sudo texhash in the terminal to tell latex where to find the new  
file in the texmf-tree.)



Ups, sorry, there´s a third qustion:
3) Where do I find the article.cls-file, so that I could rename it?

Changes with LyX 1.6 Creating a version of your LyX layout file with  
biblatex support (version 0.8) now requires Format 11 instead of  
Format 4 and a copy of the article.cls file which has to be renamed  
into bblarticle.cls.


It seems to be a little difficult to use biblatex for beginners (at  
last for me). Could it be, that it supported it one of the next  
versions?

enter kpsewhich article.cls in a terminal. The returned path is in  
the TEXMF

tree (the patch to the folder texmf).

BibTeX files usually are located in ...texmf/bibtex/bib/something/


I found that location, thanks. So I should save my BibDesk-files  
there? It seems a little strange for me, as I save them in a documents- 
folder generally. Or where should I enter the absolute path?


I´m also confused, because I have a folder texmf. Is this the  
folder, where the BibDeskfile should be saved? In my texmf-folder,  
there is no bibtext/bib-folder or so, but 17 others…







The next problem would be to do the sudo texhash:

yes. I'm not even sure you need this on the Mac at all.

kpsewhich article.cls
But why do you want to do that?

You don't need to. The advantage of saving the bib file in the TEXMF tree is 
that LaTeX can find it without further path information. So if you have a bib 
file that is used for several books and papers, you simply need to add the 
name of the bib file to each of these documents, i.e.
\bibliography{mybib}

If you need the file only for a single document, you can as well save it in 
the document folder.

In this case, however, you need to add the absolute path to the \bibliography 
command, i.e.
\bibliography{my/document/path/mybib}

Thank you. The problem is, that Lyx still produces errors. What could  
be the problem then?

This is the error-message:

error:
LaTeX Error: File `biblatex.sty' not found.

In the latex preamble I entered the following:

\usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\bibliography{name of BibDesk-file}

for the bibtex-toc-index (bibtex-literaturverzeichnis) I use plain-

If I was you, I would now, deinstall lyx and Miktex, would then restart the

Your problem might have had to do with hyperref. At least I got that warning as
well, when hyperref was loaded via the preamble, so after installing Lyx 1.6.1
you should take care of your document setting and load hyperref via the given
window.

now for 1.6.1? Thanks, FN

export to pdflatex

[kgilbert]

I am using LyX to produce chapters in a book.  I export each LyX chapter as
pdfLateX and assemble the LateX chapters.  The problem is that, in the
exported LateX, the text and equations are run together.  I have to hand
edit the LateX and put in %'s to make the LateX readable.  My question is
what (if anything) can be in LyX to have the %'s appear in the LateX export?
More generally, is there any way to control the format of the exported
LateX?  Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Ken Gilbert

It seems to be a little difficult to use biblatex for beginners (at

Your problem might have had to do with hyperref. At least I got that warning as

you should take care of your document setting and load hyperref via the given

export to pdflatex

[kgilbert]

I am using LyX to produce chapters in a book.  I export each LyX chapter as
pdfLateX and assemble the LateX chapters.  The problem is that, in the
exported LateX, the text and equations are run together.  I have to hand
edit the LateX and put in %'s to make the LateX readable.  My question is
what (if anything) can be in LyX to have the %'s appear in the LateX export?
More generally, is there any way to control the format of the exported
LateX?  Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Ken Gilbert

BTW, with LyX 1.6, you do not need such a dedicated layout file. You can also 
use a module that can be loaded for any class without further modification.

I have updated the description on the wiki accordingly.

You don't need to. The advantage of saving the bib file in the TEXMF tree is 
that LaTeX can find it without further path information. So if you have a bib 
file that is used for several books and papers, you simply need to add the 
name of the bib file to each of these documents, i.e.
\bibliography{mybib}

If you need the file only for a single document, you can as well save it in 
the document folder.

In this case, however, you need to add the absolute path to the \bibliography 
command, i.e.
\bibliography{my/document/path/mybib}

computer and install first Miktex and then LyX.

Your problem might have had to do with hyperref. At least I got that warning as
well, when hyperref was loaded via the preamble, so after installing Lyx 1.6.1
you should take care of your document setting and load hyperref via the given
window.

This is the current version of the LyX layout.

enter "kpsewhich article.cls" in a terminal. The returned path is in the TEXMF 
tree (the patch to the folder "texmf").

BibTeX files usually are located in ...texmf/bibtex/bib//

yes. I'm not even sure you need this on the Mac at all.

"kpsewhich article.cls"
But why do you want to do that?

This is nonsense. You do not need this.

Maybe, yes. At least some developers are motivated to do it.

1.6.1

[Frederick Noronha [फ़रेदरिक नोरोनया]]

Just shifted to Lyx 1.6.1 today and it's very nice! I particularly
liked its superior NAVIGATE functions, that allows you to reach to
specific footnotes, etc. Thanks guys and ladies, who worked on it! FN

Change tracking ... in Lyx

[Frederick Noronha [फ़रेदरिक नोरोनया]]

What's the way to track changes made in a Lyx document? I know there's
a patch for earlier versions
http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/ChangeTrackingLyx1-3-2 but is there something
now for 1.6.1? Thanks, FN

Did you install biblatex on your computer ?

If not and you are using MacTeX follow the instructions here :

Yes, change tracking is supported by default in 1.5.x and 1.6.x.

Thanks – I assumed it was installed with MacTex. It wasn´t, so I did  
that now…
The problem now is, that I don´t get an index. I have inserted a  
BibTex-Index	 and tried different styles. As far as I understood it  
doesn´t matter, which one I choose. Or do I have to install a style  
also?


In a new file I created I interestingly only get references in a  
dialogue, which I don´t know and I´m sure, that I didn´t enter them in  
BibDesk. I also can´t find them via spotlight. This is what I have in  
my preamble:


\usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\bibliography{}

Sorry, I forgot to enter the "\printbibliography"-ERT. I also removed  
the problem with the false references. Now I at least get an index,  
but a totally empty one. It seems, that I have to install the styles  
also. I have downloaded this, which should work for me:


http://biblatex.dominik-wassenhoven.de/biblatex-dw.shtml

Where do I have to put those folders exactly?

If you want to use Dominik Wassenhoven's styles you must also download and
install them on your computer because, the styles are not included in the
standard biblatex. But you can do that later...

We are getting there You must now follow step 4 and 5 of the wiki 
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex

With step 4 you makebelieve LyX that is loading a normal bibtex file. After
step 4, you will find your references in the citation dialogue  

Step 5 is to print your bibliography where you want it in your text

So it doesn´t matter which style I choose?
In the wiki is mentioned, that I have to enter this in the preamble:
»\usepackage[natbib=true,style=YourDesiredStyle]{biblatex}«

I don´t see where to find those styles.

Yes. But now, although I did that, I still don´t get entries in my  
Bibliography, just the title "Literatur".

Thanks a lot, it seems I get close to a solution!

export to pdflatex

[kgilbert]

I am using LyX to produce chapters in a book.  I export each LyX chapter as
pdfLateX and assemble the LateX chapters.  The problem is that, in the
exported LateX, the text and equations are run together.  I have to hand
edit the LateX and put in %'s to make the LateX readable.  My question is
what (if anything) can be in LyX to have the %'s appear in the LateX export?
More generally, is there any way to control the format of the exported
LateX?  Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Ken Gilbert
