Sharing a document with figures between multiple computers
Hi everybody, I'm collaborating with several people to produce a document using LyX, and for the most part its going very well, but we're having a problem with the figures. We've set it up so people just have the figures in a subfolder Paper/Figures/ and then when they download the latest version of the paper it just goes in the Paper/ folder. I thought this would work fine if I then just entered all the figure paths locally as in /Figures/blah.eps but whenever someone downloads a new version with the paths stored like this when they open it LyX prepends their working directory to the path and then when they save it and reupload it the paths are wrong for everyone else. I've tried to find info on the wiki and in the archive but I haven't had any luck - does anyone know if there is any nice way to get around this? We are using LyX 1.6.3 on both Windows and Mac. Thanks in advance - Sean Howe

Re: Problem with Bibliography author-year style in document class book (KOMA-script)
The solution works for me.
See http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/HumanitiesLyX
Using NatbibTo set up LyX to use natbib, go to
Document→Settings→Bibliography and check natbib.
Add the following line to your LaTeX preamble:
\bibpunct{(}{)}{,}{a}{,}{,}
This specifies in-text punctuation options for citations, i.e., Author
(Year), commas between citations, and so on. See the natbib documentation
for details.

Lyx, Japanese and the Classic Thesis template
Hello, I am a complete beginner, but I would like to transfer my dissertation from Word to LyX (either manually or automatically). I have LyX 1.5.6 (the version that comes in the repositories) installed in my computer that runs Ubuntu 8.4. I have been trying to use lyx for the parts of my text in Japanese, but every time I export to DVI it says the fonts are missing, which is strange since I have installed all the Japanese related packages. Another thing is that I would like to use Times Ext Roman, a unicode ttf font with all the diacritics I need, but I am not sure I can use it with Lyx. Another thing still is that I would like to use the Classic Thesis template, but substitute the main font with Times Ext and have Hiragino otf for the Japanese. I am reading various posts, but the entire process is a bit confusing. Hope someone can help. All the best, Clemente
Re: Lyx, Japanese and the Classic Thesis template
Dear Clemente, I guess you are using CJK package for Japanese part. In that case, it's most likely that CJK package won't work just out of box. You need set up fonts manually. There is instruction for it in the following page (I'm assuming you can read Japanese): http://oku.edu.mie-u.ac.jp/~okumura/texwiki/?LaTeX-CJK If you are using pLaTeX, you are actually missing some required packages.

I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.

With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you

You want smaller than 10pt? If so, then I'd suggest you use some other

The class wraps the title block in a command, \phmHeader, so you get
something like:
\phmHeader{
\title{...}
\author{...}
\address{...}
\maketitle
}
When tex2lyx imported it, \phmHeader went into ERT, in a Standard
environment, which then caused \maketitle to be output at the wrong
time. Nor of course can \phmHeader go into the title environment, since
then you get:
\title{\phmHeader{...
which is wrong.
I don't think LyX can easily output a structure like the one shown, no
matter what tricks you use. But it seems to turn out that \maketitle can
go outside the \phmHeader block with no damage.
I suppose one thing one could do is somehow use the trick I ended up
suggesting in tex2lyx, namely, that we use a special InTitle environment
instead of Standard until we get out of the title.
