It most certainly is a font issue. Could you try if this happens

Smart/curly quotes vs straight quotes

[Agoldenquill]

I'm a new LyX user needing to convert a novel manuscript to LyX format. I
managed to remove all but the barebones formatting from my
OpenOffice-formatted document (could not export directly to LyX -- didn't
work for some reason), but now I cannot seem to find any way to convert all
the quotes to smart, or curly, quotes. They're all straight quotes.

The only thing I've discovered so far is to manually go through and delete
the left-quote / right-quote and type in the new one. With over 400 pages
including extensive dialogue, this is a huge undertaking!

Does anyone know of a macro-type method or any other method to automatically
convert straight quotes to smart/curly quotes?

FYI, I've already tried search-and-replace, but this too is a time-consuming
task, having to go through and search each left straight quote and replace
it with a left smart quote, then do the same for the right. Twice through
400+ pages...not fun.

Any help is appreciated.

As I write in sec. 3.6 Rotated Floats in the EmbeddedObjects manual, rotated floats will _always_ 
be placed on their own page. Therefore the float placing options will be greyed out in the dialog 
when you set a float to be rotated.


Looking at your example, the float looks well placed. I cannot see that it is outside of the page. 
Attached is another example that works as it should.

 Better use a hyperlink for that. For your case there are three

Another simple alternative is to reduce the font size for the URL so it fits. 
However, in this case even reducing it to Tiny doesn't do the job for default

Re: Multiple Bib - Koma

[Pierfranco Minsenti]

Dear Yannick,

I am glad to hear that the files I sent you solved your problem. I tried to
send my e-mail, with the attached files, even to the
lyx-us...@lists.lyx.orgbut the mail systems continues to refuse my
message to the list. I don't
know why.
According to the Readme file the NM LyX port  is free software; you can
redistribute it and/or modify it so I imagine I am free to post to a
website my modified version. But maybe it is not so difficult to have it and
in any case  I will be happy to send it to other interested people who would
like to use the LyX version of André Miede's ClassicThesis, by Nick Mariette
together with the biblatex package.

2009/9/4 Yannick Wurm yannick.w...@unil.ch
Cool that's excellent!
Thank you so much! Can I buy you a beer? What's your paypal?

Now all I have to do is figure out how to format the references the way I
want them :)

have a wonderful evening,
yannick
ps: will you post this to the list or to a website?

On 4 Sep 2009, at 15:18, Pierfranco Minsenti wrote:




Dear Yannick,

Good News! It works: I mean: LyX+classicthesis port + biblatex.
I have tested it using 2 different computers and environments:
1) an iBook PowerPc with MAC OS X 10.3.9, TeXLive 2007 and LyX 1.5
2) an iMac Intet with MAC OS X 10.5.8, TeXLive 2008 and LyX 1.6.2
it works on both machines so it SHOULD work even in your case.

Let's sum up the preliminary steps to have it work:

1) download the biblatex.module from http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex and
put it into your /Users/your_computer_name/Library/Application
Support/LyX-1.6/layouts

2) download the Perl script bibtexall from
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Tips#secbib and copy it into your /usr/local/bin

3) open LyX and Run Edit→Reconfigure, restart LyX and select the module
Biblatex-citation-styles from Document→Settings→Modules. as explained in
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex

4) put your bibliography (that is your .bib file) in your personal LaTeX
directory, that is in the folder
/Users/your_computer_name/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib

Now let's go and open the two files preamble.sty and nm_classicthesis.sty
from the Nick Mariette ClassicThesis LyX port:

1. Modifications to preamble.sty

2. Modifications to nm_classicthesis.sty

and modify them as I have explained in the file List of commands to modify
in the preamble_sty file.tex you will find in the folder enclosed


Finally, modify your LyX files:

1. in the preamble of your master file add these lines:

\usepackage{nameref}
\defbibheading{references}{\section*{References}}
%
\defbibheading{bibliography}{\chapter*{Bibliography}}
%
\defbibfilter{notcited}{%
 \not \segment{1}
\and \not \segment{2}
\and \not \segment{3}



2. in every chapter add these lines:

for example:

\myChapter{Title of first chapter}

\begin{refsegment}

...

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}

\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=1]

\end{refsegment}

and then again:

\myChapter{Title of second chapter}

\begin{refsegment}

...

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}

\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=2]

\end{refsegment}

etc.

Mind the line with the command
\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=2] : in the options the number
after segment is the same number of your segment, that is, in your case, the
number of the chapter

Save and run PDF (pdflatex) from your master file.

In the addedd folder you will find and example done with Chapter 02 from the
Nick Mariette LyX port of ClassicThesis.

I hope this will work.

Best wishes

Pierfranco


2009/9/3 Yannick Wurm yannick.w...@unil.ch

H,
 so getting things working with ClassicThesis is harder than I thought.

 I've resolved most of the conflicts between the classicthesis.sty,
 preamble.sty and the preable that you gave in your example. (like you said,
 those were related to natbib, hyperref, backref). So I feel I'm 90% there!
 However, as soon as I add the code below to my ClassicThesis.lyx preamble,
 things fail.

 But I cannot make sense of the errors, nor locate where they are coming
 from (is there any way to get more verbose error messages from lyx?). What
 follows is the first error out of many:
 Error: You can't use '\spacefactor' in vertical mode.
 Description:  \@
 ifundefined{showcaptionsetup}{}{%
 Sorry, but I'm not programmed to handle this case;
 I'll just pretend that you didn't ask for it.
 If you're in the wrong mode, you might be able to
 return to the right one by typing `I}' or `I$' or `I\par'.
 

 Do you have any ideas where I should look?

 Thanks!!
 yannick

As I write in sec. 3.6 Rotated Floats in the EmbeddedObjects manual, rotated floats will _always_ 
be placed on their own page. Therefore the float placing options will be greyed out in the dialog

Looking at your example, the float looks well placed. I cannot see that it is outside of the page.

Another simple alternative is to reduce the font size for the URL so it fits.

Re: Multiple Bib - Koma

[Pierfranco Minsenti]

Dear Yannick,

I am glad to hear that the files I sent you solved your problem. I tried to
send my e-mail, with the attached files, even to the
lyx-us...@lists.lyx.orgbut the mail systems continues to refuse my
message to the list. I don't
know why.
According to the Readme file the NM LyX port  is free software; you can
redistribute it and/or modify it so I imagine I am free to post to a
website my modified version. But maybe it is not so difficult to have it and
in any case  I will be happy to send it to other interested people who would
like to use the LyX version of André Miede's ClassicThesis, by Nick Mariette
together with the biblatex package.

Dear Yannick,

Good News! It works: I mean: LyX+classicthesis port + biblatex.
I have tested it using 2 different computers and environments:
1) an iBook PowerPc with MAC OS X 10.3.9, TeXLive 2007 and LyX 1.5
2) an iMac Intet with MAC OS X 10.5.8, TeXLive 2008 and LyX 1.6.2
it works on both machines so it SHOULD work even in your case.

Let's sum up the preliminary steps to have it work:

1) download the biblatex.module from http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex and
put it into your /Users/your_computer_name/Library/Application
Support/LyX-1.6/layouts

2) download the Perl script bibtexall from
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Tips#secbib and copy it into your /usr/local/bin

3) open LyX and Run Edit→Reconfigure, restart LyX and select the module
Biblatex-citation-styles from Document→Settings→Modules. as explained in
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex

4) put your bibliography (that is your .bib file) in your personal LaTeX
directory, that is in the folder
/Users/your_computer_name/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib

Now let's go and open the two files preamble.sty and nm_classicthesis.sty
from the Nick Mariette ClassicThesis LyX port:

1. Modifications to preamble.sty

2. Modifications to nm_classicthesis.sty

and modify them as I have explained in the file List of commands to modify
in the preamble_sty file.tex you will find in the folder enclosed


Finally, modify your LyX files:

1. in the preamble of your master file add these lines:

\usepackage{nameref}
\defbibheading{references}{\section*{References}}
%
\defbibheading{bibliography}{\chapter*{Bibliography}}
%
\defbibfilter{notcited}{%
 \not \segment{1}
\and \not \segment{2}
\and \not \segment{3}



2. in every chapter add these lines:

for example:

\myChapter{Title of first chapter}

\begin{refsegment}

...

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}

\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=1]

\end{refsegment}

and then again:

\myChapter{Title of second chapter}

\begin{refsegment}

...

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}

\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=2]

\end{refsegment}

etc.

Mind the line with the command
\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=2] : in the options the number
after segment is the same number of your segment, that is, in your case, the
number of the chapter

Save and run PDF (pdflatex) from your master file.

In the addedd folder you will find and example done with Chapter 02 from the
Nick Mariette LyX port of ClassicThesis.

I hope this will work.

Best wishes

Pierfranco


2009/9/3 Yannick Wurm yannick.w...@unil.ch

H,
 so getting things working with ClassicThesis is harder than I thought.

 I've resolved most of the conflicts between the classicthesis.sty,
 preamble.sty and the preable that you gave in your example. (like you said,
 those were related to natbib, hyperref, backref). So I feel I'm 90% there!
 However, as soon as I add the code below to my ClassicThesis.lyx preamble,
 things fail.

 But I cannot make sense of the errors, nor locate where they are coming
 from (is there any way to get more verbose error messages from lyx?). What
 follows is the first error out of many:
 Error: You can't use '\spacefactor' in vertical mode.
 Description:  \@
 ifundefined{showcaptionsetup}{}{%
 Sorry, but I'm not programmed to handle this case;
 I'll just pretend that you didn't ask for it.
 If you're in the wrong mode, you might be able to
 return to the right one by typing `I}' or `I$' or `I\par'.
 

 Do you have any ideas where I should look?

 Thanks!!
 yannick

It most certainly is a font issue. Could you try if this happens 

with every math formula, 
only with sub- and superscripts, 
maybe with formulae in headings or otherwise scaled?

Does the problem go away if you choose a different font set?

Could you be more specific about your font setup?

I am in the same position as dirac14. I began using LyX about a month ago,
but in that time I have yet to figure out how to install new packages. I
searched everywhere, but all the LyX information seems written for
programmer-types, or people who know LaTeX. Yet the LyX webpages said one
does not need to know LaTeX in order to use LyX.

Does anyone have simple, regular, end-user English instructions for
installing new packages?
Any help is appreciated.

Smart/curly quotes vs straight quotes

[Agoldenquill]

I'm a new LyX user needing to convert a novel manuscript to LyX format. I
managed to remove all but the barebones formatting from my
OpenOffice-formatted document (could not export directly to LyX -- didn't
work for some reason), but now I cannot seem to find any way to convert all
the quotes to smart, or curly, quotes. They're all straight quotes.

The only thing I've discovered so far is to manually go through and delete
the left-quote / right-quote and type in the new one. With over 400 pages
including extensive dialogue, this is a huge undertaking!

Does anyone know of a macro-type method or any other method to automatically
convert straight quotes to smart/curly quotes?

FYI, I've already tried search-and-replace, but this too is a time-consuming
task, having to go through and search each left straight quote and replace
it with a left smart quote, then do the same for the right. Twice through
400+ pages...not fun.

Any help is appreciated.

Re: How to install new packages to Lyx?

[Julio Rojas]

I'm sorry to tell you this, but there is not such thing as Lyx
packages. All of them are Latex packages. So unfortunately you need
to, at least, know how to install and use a package in LaTeX, as there
is no easy way to interface a LaTeX package with Lyx. Installation
depends on your OS and LaTeX distribution. Usage is OS independent.

Assuming you mean the character " by "straight quote" and assuming you want 
American quote style, the following preamble code is supposed to produce what 
you want in the output (while the straight quotes are kept inside LyX):

\usepackage[english]{csquotes}
\MakeOuterQuote{"}

Another simple alternative is to reduce the font size for the URL so it fits. 
However, in this case even reducing it to Tiny doesn't do the job for default 
Memoir A4 fonts and margins.  I'd use tinyurl.com.

Better use a hyperlink for that. For your case there are three possibilities:

- using the long link and breaking it by inserting "\\" in the name field

- using the long link but using another name

- making the link much shorter by using tinyurl.com

Attached is a LyX file showing the possibilities.


I have the following in the preamble:

\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{color}


You can delete this because LyX already takes care to load these packages when 
they are needed.


%\usepackage[%
%colorlinks=true,linkcolor=black,citecolor=black,urlcolor=black,%

> %pdfstartview=FitH,%
> %bookmarksopen=true,bookmarksopenlevel=0,%
> %plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels,%
> %pagebackref=true,%
> %pdftoolbar=false]{hyperref}

This can also be deleted. The hyperref settings can be set in the LyX documents settings under "PDF 
properties". (I've also used this in the attached LyX file.)



\usepackage{url}

\makeatletter and \mekeatother is automatically inserted by LyX if needed.

Re: Multiple Bib - Koma

Dear Yannick,

I am glad to hear that the files I sent you solved your problem. I tried to
send my e-mail, with the attached files, even to the
lyx-us...@lists.lyx.orgbut the mail systems continues to refuse my
message to the list. I don't
know why.
According to the Readme file the NM LyX port  "is free software; you can
redistribute it and/or modify it" so I imagine I am free to post to a
website my modified version. But maybe it is not so difficult to have it and
in any case  I will be happy to send it to other interested people who would
like to use the LyX version of André Miede's ClassicThesis, by Nick Mariette
together with the biblatex package.

Cool that's excellent!
Thank you so much! Can I buy you a beer? What's your paypal?

Now all I have to do is figure out how to format the references the way I
want them :)

have a wonderful evening,
yannick
ps: will you post this to the list or to a website?

Dear Yannick,

Good News! It works: I mean: LyX+classicthesis port + biblatex.
I have tested it using 2 different computers and environments:
1) an iBook PowerPc with MAC OS X 10.3.9, TeXLive 2007 and LyX 1.5
2) an iMac Intet with MAC OS X 10.5.8, TeXLive 2008 and LyX 1.6.2
it works on both machines so it SHOULD work even in your case.

Let's sum up the preliminary steps to have it work:

1) download the biblatex.module from http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex and
put it into your /Users/your_computer_name/Library/Application
Support/LyX-1.6/layouts

2) download the Perl script bibtexall from
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Tips#secbib and copy it into your /usr/local/bin

3) open LyX and Run Edit→Reconfigure, restart LyX and select the module
"Biblatex-citation-styles" from Document→Settings→Modules. as explained in
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex

4) put your bibliography (that is your .bib file) in your personal LaTeX
directory, that is in the folder
/Users/your_computer_name/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib

Now let's go and open the two files preamble.sty and nm_classicthesis.sty
from the Nick Mariette ClassicThesis LyX port:

1. Modifications to preamble.sty

2. Modifications to nm_classicthesis.sty

and modify them as I have explained in the file List of commands to modify
in the preamble_sty file.tex you will find in the folder enclosed


Finally, modify your LyX files:

1. in the preamble of your master file add these lines:

\usepackage{nameref}
\defbibheading{references}{\section*{References}}
%
\defbibheading{bibliography}{\chapter*{Bibliography}}
%
\defbibfilter{notcited}{%
 \not \segment{1}
\and \not \segment{2}
\and \not \segment{3}



2. in every chapter add these lines:

for example:

\myChapter{Title of first chapter}

\begin{refsegment}

...

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}

\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=1]

\end{refsegment}

and then again:

\myChapter{Title of second chapter}

\begin{refsegment}

...

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}

\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=2]

\end{refsegment}

etc.

Mind the line with the command
\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=2] : in the options the number
after segment is the same number of your segment, that is, in your case, the
number of the chapter

Save and run PDF (pdflatex) from your master file.

In the addedd folder you will find and example done with Chapter 02 from the
Nick Mariette LyX port of ClassicThesis.

I hope this will work.

Best wishes

Pierfranco

Hi,
I have been reading the following manual on pdfscreen:

Could anyone please let me know where do I need to insert code on page 9 of
the above tutorial to create a new panel?
Thanks

Insert this code to the document preamble (menu Document -> Settings -> LaTeX 
preamble)
