 The more structured approach to custom list formatting is probably
 by \usepackage{enumitem}.

There is the enumitem module for this in LyX 2.0. You can use it
with 1.6.x too (search for enumitem on http://wiki.lyx.org/).

I have defined ready to use compact lists in a local module (see
below) which depends on the enumitem module.

Re: SV: Linguistics module and glosses

2011-01-12 Thread Stig Rognes

Hello LyX-users,

I'm using LyX 1.6.7 for a master's thesis in linguistics (syntax), and
use a lot of numbered examples with glosses. I use the linguistics
module and aligned glosses as explained on

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX#toc14http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX#toc14
However I miss/cannot find one feature, namely an option for
grammaticality judgments (marked with * and ??). I want the
asterisks/question marks to be neatly aligned to left of the example,
like in example (8) on page 6 in this pdf-file:

http://www.bakoma-tex.com/doc/latex/gb4e/gb4e-doc.pdfhttp://www.bakoma-tex.com/doc/latex/gb4e/gb4e-doc.pdf
Obviously this is possible with gb4e.sty or cgloss4e.sty (as explained
in the link above), but I'm not very confident with LaTeX and have no
idea how to get this working in LyX or with covington.sty.
Any ideas?

Thanks kind regards,
Stig Rognes

Ingar Pareliussen wrote:

I am no a linguist, however as far I as I understand the covington styles
does not support these kinds of aligned symbols, and you have to us
kludges to do it, or you could use gb4e and ERT. If you do want gb4e but
can't stand ERT you could make a gb4e module for lyx... But this demands
some understanding of lyx and latex.

I attach a lyx file that demonstrates both gb4e and covington (using
CTRL+space).

Ingar

Attached is an alternative possibility with covington where you do nt need
extra spaces.

Jürgen

Hi Ingar and Jürgen

thanks for your answers. The problem is that the examples with aligned glosses
(with translation, reached from Insert--Custom Insets--Custom: Glosse) are
already inside a LaTeX-box (=ERT?), so the ctrl+space function is disabled.
Neither should there be a space between the * or ?? and the first word of the
example.

However I partly solved my problem using \phantom and \emph; see attached
example.

Instalation error


 Hello, 
 
  
 I'm trying to install LyX with LyX-1.6.8-2-Installer.exe in a Windows XP

 end of the installing process of MiKTeX an error occurs (Unexpected
 condition). I downloaded several times new installers, with the same
 final results.
 
 I installed LyX in an other computer with no problems. The only different
 thing in this installation is that I don´t use the default instalation
 folder (my C: drive is full and I want to install in my second hard disk.)
 
 You can see attached the instalation log. Can anyone see de cause of the
 error in the log? What can I do?

You can try to first install MikTeX manually using:

If this fails, it is a MikTeX installer problem.

If this succeeds, your problem is probably solved, but then we have to

 LyX doesn't resolve shell aliases like your shell does.
This was already my suspicion and it's helpful to have it confirmed.

 I tried to activate the shell-escape option of the pdflatex command in

 Did you use 'shell-escape' or '-shell-escape'?
Actually I tried both of them

This should be fixed in 2.0.0 beta 3.

Which LyX version did you install ?

You can correct it by either deleting all session information in

I will give it a try in my next document, thanks for the hint.

  As a side question: is there a Lyx-way to exclude names and short

 either put the words in an \mbox{...} (via ERT) or add a list like this in

Is there a way keep hyperlinks in pasted text?

2011-01-12 Thread Joel Schwartz

Let's say I copy a block of text on a web page. Some of the words in this
block of text include hyperlinks to other URLs (web pages, pdf files, etc.).
When I copy and paste this text block into lyx, the hyperlinks are gone and
just the text gets pasted. Is there a way to paste the text into lyx so that
the hyperlinks are also included, or do I need to recreate the hyperlinks
manually? The users' guide doesn't mention a way to keep the hyperlinks, so
I'm guessing the answer is no, but I thought I'd check here just to make
sure.

Services in FACE 16, 395-4334, as soon as possible to better ensure such
accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion.\end{framed}


The \begin{} and \end{} are in ERT. The entire paragraph is in a

following message on submitting for a .ps view:

! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.

Try typing return to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X return to quit.


The .dvi file *is* written out, and I can view it from the temporary
directory /tmp/lyx_tmpdir...  The framed area IS framed, and all else
seems OK from a brief scan of the result.

Any ideas what/where the issue is?

 The more structured approach to custom list formatting is probably
 by \usepackage{enumitem}.

There is the enumitem module for this in LyX 2.0. You can use it
with 1.6.x too (search for enumitem on http://wiki.lyx.org/).

I have defined ready to use compact lists in a local module (see

 I installed LyX in an other computer with no problems. The only different

 You can see attached the instalation log. Can anyone see de cause of the

You can try to first install MikTeX manually using:

If this fails, it is a MikTeX installer problem.

If this succeeds, your problem is probably solved, but then we have to

Math tool bar doesnt apear automaticaly?

Dear LyX-Team,

somwhow the Math-toolbar isn't apearing automatically anymore in my

I have to open the toolbar manual every time I type a math formula or I

If I open view-toolbars from the menubar it shows Math (automatic), 
also for the tables and so on. Notice, it worked in the beginning. But 
after I had to reinstall LyX since it had problems converting Images in

This should be fixed in 2.0.0 beta 3.

You can correct it by either deleting all session information in

Is there a way keep hyperlinks in pasted text?

2011-01-12 Thread Joel Schwartz

Let's say I copy a block of text on a web page. Some of the words in this
block of text include hyperlinks to other URLs (web pages, pdf files, etc.).
When I copy and paste this text block into lyx, the hyperlinks are gone and
just the text gets pasted. Is there a way to paste the text into lyx so that
the hyperlinks are also included, or do I need to recreate the hyperlinks
manually? The users' guide doesn't mention a way to keep the hyperlinks, so
I'm guessing the answer is no, but I thought I'd check here just to make
sure.

In my view, it is correct to have the help files write-protected, but
it is a pity (or a bug) that the thesaurus does not work for them.

Which LyX version are you using?

If you export to LaTeX, is there a \usepackage{babel} (maybe with
options) in the document?

Could you provide a "minimal example" (smallest possible document that
shows the problem)?

Testing with article (KOMA script) revealed that the patch was not

Error al instalar

Hola 

 Estoy tratando de instalar LyX con el instalador LyX-1.6.8-2-Installer.exe
(Windows XP). Instalo también MiKTeX 2.9, que me lo recomienda el propio
LyX, pero al terminar de instalar MiKTeX me salta un error ("Unexpected
condition"). Lo único diferente que he hecho en este ordenador es cambiarle
el directorio de instalación y poner uno distinto al que me marcaba por
defecto. En otro ordenador lo instalé sin problemas, con las opciones por
defecto que marca el proceso de instalación. Adjunto el Log que se crea en
la instalación, por si alguien podéis ver la causa del error y sobre todo la
solución.

Gracias.

Re: SV: Linguistics module and glosses

2011-01-12 Thread Stig Rognes


Hello LyX-users,

I'm using LyX 1.6.7 for a master's thesis in linguistics (syntax), and
use a lot of numbered examples with glosses. I use the linguistics
module and aligned glosses as explained on
 
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX#toc14
However I miss/cannot find one feature, namely an option for
grammaticality judgments  (marked with * and ??). I want the
asterisks/question marks to be neatly aligned to left of the example,
like in example (8) on page 6 in this pdf-file:
 
http://www.bakoma-tex.com/doc/latex/gb4e/gb4e-doc.pdf
Obviously this is possible with gb4e.sty or cgloss4e.sty (as explained
in the link above), but I'm not very confident with LaTeX and have no
idea how to get this working in LyX or with covington.sty.
Any ideas?

Thanks&  kind regards,
Stig Rognes


Ingar Pareliussen wrote:

 I am no a linguist, however as far I as I understand the covington styles
 does not support these kinds of aligned symbols, and you have to us
 kludges to do it, or you could use gb4e and ERT. If you do want gb4e but
 can't stand ERT you could make a gb4e module for lyx... But this demands
 some understanding of lyx and latex.

 I attach a lyx file that demonstrates both gb4e and covington (using
 CTRL+space).

Ingar


Attached is an alternative possibility with covington where you do nt need
extra spaces.

Jürgen


Hi Ingar and Jürgen

thanks for your answers. The problem is that the examples with aligned glosses
(with translation, reached from Insert-->Custom Insets-->Custom: Glosse) are
already inside a LaTeX-box (=ERT?), so the ctrl+space function is disabled.
Neither should there be a space between the * or ?? and the first word of the 
example.

However I partly solved my problem using \phantom and \emph; see attached 
example.

You can try to first install MikTeX manually using:

http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/win32/miktex/setup/basic-miktex-2.9.3972.exe

If this fails, it is a MikTeX installer problem.

If this succeeds, your problem is probably solved, but then we have to
look into our installer.

Math tool bar doesnt apear automaticaly?

2011-01-12 Thread micha


Dear LyX-Team,

somwhow the Math-toolbar isn't apearing automatically anymore in my 
installation? I've tried out many steps, but it seems it stoped working. 
I have to open the toolbar manual every time I type a math formula or I 
have to leave it open all the time.


If I open view->toolbars from the menubar it shows Math (automatic), 
also for the tables and so on. Notice, it worked in the beginning. But 
after I had to reinstall LyX since it had problems converting Images in 
a viewable format?? it stopped working. I used the complete installer 
for installation.


Thanks for help.

Best regards,

Micha Schäfer

This should be fixed in 2.0.0 beta 3.

Which LyX version did you install ?

You can correct it by either deleting all session information in
Tools->Preferences (but I'm not sure), or you can manually remove
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LyX\\views\0\math" in the
registry.

Thanks for the hint, I bought a new laptop in last May and didn't install
texlive-langgerman, which I had done before on the old laptop.
(Thought it would get pulled in anyway by setting LINGUAS="de", will open a bug

Is there a way keep hyperlinks in pasted text?

2011-01-12 Thread Joel Schwartz

Let's say I copy a block of text on a web page. Some of the words in this
block of text include hyperlinks to other URLs (web pages, pdf files, etc.).
When I copy and paste this text block into lyx, the hyperlinks are gone and
just the text gets pasted. Is there a way to paste the text into lyx so that
the hyperlinks are also included, or do I need to recreate the hyperlinks
manually? The users' guide doesn't mention a way to keep the hyperlinks, so
I'm guessing the answer is no, but I thought I'd check here just to make
sure.
 
Thanks,
Joel

Dear All,

This is slightly off-topic.

I have successfully used biblatex with LyX for a long time. Today after 
changing my TexLive DVD installation from 2009 to 2010, I am not able to 
compile documents anymore that use the biblatex package. I now get a fatal

Does anyone know about changes in TexLive 2010 and how this relates to 
biblatex? Any suggestions?

LyX 2.0 and framed package

I'm updating my class syllabus, which has a mandatory statement which I
normally frame as follows:

\begin{framed}Students with disabilities who believe they may need
accommodations in this class are encouraged to contact Supportive
Services in FACE 16, 395-4334, as soon as possible to better ensure such
accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion.\end{framed}


The \begin{} and \end{} are in ERT. The entire paragraph is in a
standalone quote environment. I have used this for years.  Now I get the
following message on submitting for a .ps view:

! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H  for immediate help.
l.58 ...plemented in a timely fashion.\end{framed}
Try typing  to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X  to quit.


The .dvi file *is* written out, and I can view it from the temporary
directory /tmp/lyx_tmpdir...  The framed area IS framed, and all else
seems OK from a brief scan of the result.

Any ideas what/where the issue is?

One thing I forgot to mention was that fonts had to be generated when I
opened the dvi file.  I guess LaTeX didn't finish?

Difficult to say without an example file. Could you provide one or at least 
post the complete LaTeX log?

BTW, you are aware that LyX supports framed natively (Box, simple frame, no 
inner box, allow page breaks)?
