Appendices and Bibliographie

Hi,
I am currently writing a book with Lyx (book class). It finish with an 
appendix (it is a normal chapter with a start appendices here before) et 
then a bibliography (simply insert TOC). When a produce the final document, in 
the table of content, the entry (and the internal link of the PDF output) of 
the bibliography points to the first page of the appendix and not the first 
page of the bibliography. I suppose that there is something to configure 
somewhere to avoid that, anyone a clue ?

The question was basically: How do I import tables from Excel into Lyx.
When I copypaste directly, it all goes in one cell.

To import a table in LyX, you have to use the Import submenu of the File
menu. There, you can import a CSV file (comma-separated values) which
Excel can write. This will create a new LyX file with the table in it. From
there you can cut and paste it.

I have made an example screencast (see it at
http://screencast.com/t/NThmOTBj) that shows the full process of conversion
and reformating:

   1. I export the Excel file as a CSV file
   2. I show the resulting CSV file contents
   3. I import the CSV file in LyX
   4. I reformat the table (by default it has no lines)
   5. I change the language of the contents (it may not be the right
   language by default, which is why the cells have blue-underlined values)
   6. I copy  paste the new table in a LyX document

Hope this helps.

Rotata sideways error

I have a problem rotating a floats containing pictures.

 

I tried rotating by right clicking, Rotate sideways, but I get an error

Not rotating the floats causes no problems when compilling and I can rotate
the picture inside the float by the rotate graphics option in the graphics
tab when clicking on the figure, but my figure text is not rotated then
which I would like it to be.

 

Heres my preamble:

Hi, everybody. I want you to know I found a good solution.

The BibTeX exporter in zotero includes stuff that most biblio styles
will include, even though you don't want them.

The fix is a better exporter from zotero.  The low fat and non fat
bibtex formats are just the fix I needed.  I found this by searching
in the zotero forum, the install is easy, just drop a java script file
in zotero/translators, and then use it to export to bibtex.

zotero-bibtex-sb is at this address:

http://github.com/commonman/zotero-bibtex-sb/blob/5d51eb68719b5415761af12dbea483649f8141c2/README.org

In case that link doesn't come through the email , just google zotero
bibtex non fat and you come to the right link at the top.

This does not work with LyZ (zotero plugin for LyX) because LyZ
doesn't have a place where you specify the translator, it always uses
the default. Probably would be easy to fix, though.

lyx with cv modern doc class on ubuntu 10.04

2010-07-27 Thread Matt Funk 
Hi,

i am using lyx (1.6.5) with ubuntu 10.04. I am trying to use the modern cv 
document class to do a resume.
When i try to compile it i get error:
undefined control sequence

\begin{document}
 
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

I tried to google but did not find anything helping me to resolve this.
Any insight is appreciated.

 Hi!
 Thanks for your quick answer. Now there is another problem... If I want to

 test.lyx was created by another lyx-version, but the lyx2lyx-script
 couldn't convert the document (I hope the translation is correct).
 But the problem is, that I am using the newest lyx-version. Do you know
 where the problem is?

 The script that was called to do the conversion might have been from a
previous version of LyX. This error should not occur. Can you give us the
Table (CSV) - LyX converter configuration command (Menu Preferences:File
Handling:Converters), your actual LyX version from the Help:About menu and
whether your LYX_HOME/Resources/scripts/csv2lyx.py contains the string
#csv2lyx created this file
\lyxformat 276 ?

My screencast was made with LyX 1.6.7 and my CSV to LyX command
configuration was python -tt $$s/scripts/csv2lyx.py $$i $$o. The
intermediate file created by the csv2lyx.py script should be of a format
compatible with your current LyX, which would mean that lyx2lyx never would
need to be called. lyx2lyx would be called if you were converting from a
file created by an older version of LyX, which should not be the case.

 Yes.

 OK, I figured it out by trying it on my end :)

Basically, the latest moderncv class is very different from the class
supported by the LyX layout. Let's call LyX's support for moderncv
obsolete.

See here for a LaTeX template:
ftp://ctan.cms.math.ca/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/examples/template.tex

The main info is at:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/

The moderncv class is very difficult to support with LyX because it has many
commands which require more than one arguments. Right now, LyX does not have
a good support for these without using ERT (Evil Red Text, basically LaTeX
straight code).

The moderncv class is rather easy to use on its own if you follow the
template example from the distribution.

I attached an example LyX (1.6.7) usage of moderncv. It contains practically
nothing because the layout is for a previous version of moderncv. For
instance, the LyX layout does not support itemized lists, while the class
does (see the example template). The example shows several things:

   1. The LaTeX preamble must contain the \firstname and \familyname
   commands, as well as other identifying info (the cause of your undefined
   control sequence is these commands missing)
   2. Commands that require extra arguments must have the arguments
   separated by the }{ ERT block which is a hack to cause multiple arguments
   to work
   3. Some commands (\cvline) are unsupported by the Layout, so you have to
   enter them completely as ERT.

If you want to use moderncv, it's really one of these classes that are very
poorly suited to LyX. Your document will be more legible if you use the
LaTeX straight code template than if you try to hack LyX to work with it. If
you feel adventurous, you could upgrade the moderncv LyX layout to support
the latest moderncv version and all its commands. It would take several
hours and still would require the }{ in some places, but you could cut
down on the ERT significantly.

Hi, everybody. I want you to know I found a good solution.

The BibTeX exporter in zotero includes stuff that most biblio styles
will include, even though you don't want them.

The fix is a better exporter from zotero.  The low fat and non fat
bibtex formats are just the fix I needed.  I found this by searching
in the zotero forum, the install is easy, just drop a java script file
in zotero/translators, and then use it to export to bibtex.

zotero-bibtex-sb is at this address:

http://github.com/commonman/zotero-bibtex-sb/blob/5d51eb68719b5415761af12dbea483649f8141c2/README.org

In case that link doesn't come through the email , just google zotero
bibtex non fat and you come to the right link at the top.

This does not work with LyZ (zotero plugin for LyX) because LyZ
doesn't have a place where you specify the translator, it always uses
the default. Probably would be easy to fix, though.

lyx with cv modern doc class on ubuntu 10.04

2010-07-27 Thread Matt Funk 
Hi,

i am using lyx (1.6.5) with ubuntu 10.04. I am trying to use the modern cv 
document class to do a resume.
When i try to compile it i get error:
undefined control sequence

\begin{document}
 
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

I tried to google but did not find anything helping me to resolve this.
Any insight is appreciated.

 Hi!
 Thanks for your quick answer. Now there is another problem... If I want to

 But the problem is, that I am using the newest lyx-version. Do you know
 where the problem is?

 The script that was called to do the conversion might have been from a
previous version of LyX. This error should not occur. Can you give us the
Table (CSV) - LyX converter configuration command (Menu Preferences:File
Handling:Converters), your actual LyX version from the Help:About menu and
whether your LYX_HOME/Resources/scripts/csv2lyx.py contains the string
#csv2lyx created this file
\lyxformat 276 ?

My screencast was made with LyX 1.6.7 and my CSV to LyX command
configuration was python -tt $$s/scripts/csv2lyx.py $$i $$o. The
intermediate file created by the csv2lyx.py script should be of a format
compatible with your current LyX, which would mean that lyx2lyx never would
need to be called. lyx2lyx would be called if you were converting from a
file created by an older version of LyX, which should not be the case.

 OK, I figured it out by trying it on my end :)

Basically, the latest moderncv class is very different from the class
supported by the LyX layout. Let's call LyX's support for moderncv
obsolete.

See here for a LaTeX template:
ftp://ctan.cms.math.ca/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/examples/template.tex

The main info is at:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv/

The moderncv class is very difficult to support with LyX because it has many
commands which require more than one arguments. Right now, LyX does not have
a good support for these without using ERT (Evil Red Text, basically LaTeX
straight code).

The moderncv class is rather easy to use on its own if you follow the
template example from the distribution.

I attached an example LyX (1.6.7) usage of moderncv. It contains practically
nothing because the layout is for a previous version of moderncv. For
instance, the LyX layout does not support itemized lists, while the class
does (see the example template). The example shows several things:

   1. The LaTeX preamble must contain the \firstname and \familyname
   commands, as well as other identifying info (the cause of your undefined
   control sequence is these commands missing)
   2. Commands that require extra arguments must have the arguments
   separated by the }{ ERT block which is a hack to cause multiple arguments
   to work
   3. Some commands (\cvline) are unsupported by the Layout, so you have to
   enter them completely as ERT.

If you want to use moderncv, it's really one of these classes that are very
poorly suited to LyX. Your document will be more legible if you use the
LaTeX straight code template than if you try to hack LyX to work with it. If
you feel adventurous, you could upgrade the moderncv LyX layout to support
the latest moderncv version and all its commands. It would take several
hours and still would require the }{ in some places, but you could cut
down on the ERT significantly.

Appendices and Bibliographie

Hi,
I am currently writing a book with Lyx (book class). It finish with an 
appendix (it is a normal chapter with a "start appendices here" before) et 
then a bibliography (simply insert TOC). When a produce the final document, in 
the table of content, the entry (and the internal link of the PDF output) of 
the bibliography points to the first page of the appendix and not the first

I do not speak german, so the answer is in English. Use Microsoft Bing
language tools (http://www.microsofttranslator.com) or Google Translate (
http://translate.google.com) to get a translation.

The question was basically: "How do I import tables from Excel into Lyx.
When I copy directly, it all goes in one cell".

To import a table in LyX, you have to use the Import submenu of the File
menu. There, you can import a "CSV" file (comma-separated values) which
Excel can write. This will create a new LyX file with the table in it. From
there you can cut and paste it.

I have made an example screencast (see it at
http://screencast.com/t/NThmOTBj) that shows the full process of conversion
and reformating:

   1. I export the Excel file as a "CSV" file
   2. I show the resulting CSV file contents
   3. I import the CSV file in LyX
   4. I reformat the table (by default it has no lines)
   5. I change the language of the contents (it may not be the right
   language by default, which is why the cells have blue-underlined values)
   6. I copy & paste the new table in a LyX document

Hope this helps.

Rotata sideways error

Hi

 

I have a problem rotating a floats containing pictures.

 

I tried rotating by right clicking, "Rotate sideways", but I get an error
message when compiling saying 

 

Latex Error: Command \newfloat already defined

 

Not rotating the floats causes no problems when compilling and I can rotate
the picture inside the float by the "rotate graphics" option in the graphics
tab when clicking on the figure, but my figure text is not rotated then
which I would like it to be.

 

Heres my preamble:

2/ My appendices are in the TOC but when you click them it goes to chapter 1
for APp A, chapter 2 for APP B etc. This is the case for in text and the PDF
index.

Thanks for you time,

Alex
