Re: class svmono
Steve Litt slitt at troubleshooters.com writes: What exactly has to be done, step by step, to put the files together to form one complete document that can be viewed without errors? Leslaw My approach would be to write a document with nothing but Hello World written in standard environment, but make sure its document class is SVMono. If that fails to compile, send it to the list. If it compiles, make Hello World one of the environments from SVMono, and see if it fails. If so, exploit the differences. If not, very slowly add various levels of headings and text, checking each time to make sure it compiles. You can also go the other direction. Back up your existing document, then keep cutting it in half until you trap the defect in a very small document, at which time the defect will probably be obvious. SteveT I am afraid this is not possible, since the svmono class does not contain one document type, but several kinds of documents, which, when put together, should make a book. After dozens of different attempts, it seems to me that the first problem is that LyX provides templates for some of the svmono class documents, but not all of them. One of the error messages that I get is: Could not load included file ...path...\svmono_referenc.lyx and Could not load included file ...path...\svmono_solutions.lyx So, it seems that these files are needed by the other LyX templates for svmono files, but LyX does not provide the templates for them, so that I am not able to create these files with LyX. If, instead, I import the book.tex template directly from the Springer svmono class (without making use of LyX templates), and try to view it in pdf format, I get other errors: Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined Description: ...phil-DOI} Suleiman, Camelia, Daniel C.

xetex and theorem
Hi! I cannot get PDF (xetex) output from the attached document which uses the Theorems module. I'm using LyX 2.0.2 and Debian Sid with texlive-xetex. It works fine when not using Theorems.

how to instal tex fonts on OS X?
dear all, I recently installed LyX 2.0 and MacTeX TeXLive-2011-Basic on a Mac OS X 10.7 system. I noticed that by default fonts look pixelated in pdf output because bitmap fonts are used (http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF). The FAQ suggests to use the font Latin Modern instead of the default Computer Modern. How do I install the font for LaTex on OS X? I found the font on http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern/ but could not find any straight forward instructions on how to install it on my system. Can anybody point me to a simple explanation how to install fonts? Thanks for your help!

After dozens of different attempts, it seems to me that the first problem is that LyX provides templates for some of the svmono class documents, but not all of them. One of the error messages that I get is: Could not load included file ...path...\svmono_referenc.lyx and Could not load included file ...path...\svmono_solutions.lyx So, it seems that these files are needed by the other LyX templates for svmono files, but LyX does not provide the templates for them, so that I am not able to create these files with LyX. If, instead, I import the book.tex template directly from the Springer svmono class (without making use of LyX templates), and try to view it in pdf format, I get other errors: "Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined" Description: "...phil-DOI} Suleiman, Camelia, Daniel C. O’ Connell, You need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText or \DeclareInputMath before using this key." This seems to indicate that the files with references are read this time, but cannot be parsed by LyX. I have to admit that I am beginning to doubt in the supposed advantages of LaTeX and LyX that are so much advertised. So far I cannot view even a single document written by the authors of LyX !

Re: Example inside presentation(beamer)-class
Hallo, everybody, I have solved my problem with the examples inside the beamer-class. Some modules (theorems) were activated and so Lyx didn't know which environment it should use. Thanks! Mike
xetex and theorem
Hi! I cannot get "PDF (xetex)" output from the attached document which uses the Theorems module. I'm using LyX 2.0.2 and Debian Sid with texlive-xetex. It works fine when not using Theorems. The error I get is: "! Undefined control sequence. \definitionname ->\inputencoding {latin9}Definition l.43 T his is a definition.\end{defn} 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." Sorry about the briefness, I'm just starting to type using a Dvorak keyboard, so I'm extremely slow at the moment... Best regards and thanks, Torquil Sørensen example.lyx Description: application/lyx

Default output format and non-tex fonts
Hi! My default output format is "PDF (xetex)" in the LyX preferences, and this appears on the View menu with the keyboard shortcut "CTRL-R". However, if I select "Use non-Tex fonts (via xetex/luatex)" in the "Fonts" section of the Document properties, the View menu changes to have HTML as the default output format assigned to "CTRL-R", and "PDF (xetex)" is relegated to the "View (Other formats)" submenu, without a keyboard shortcut. Is this correct behaviour? LyX 2.0.2 Best regards Torquil Sørensen
Re: Tables
Hal Kiersteadírta: Hello, Using LyX 2.02, I am trying to make a table with two columns---one 1 inches wide and the other 5 inches wide. When I enter this using the table settings dialog, every thing looks right in LyX, but when I export it both columns are 5 inches wide. What am I doing wrong? Does it matter that I am using the AMS book class? Hal Hello: Export to what? PDF, dvi, plain tex? I tried to make a table like this and it as expexted when viewed as pdf using export PDF (pdflatex). I am attaching the lyx file and the resulted pdf file. Just for clarity: you have to set the width of the columns individually. Click in the left column - right click - more - settings - Table settings tab - Columns settings: set width 1 inch. Repeat this with the right column, but set it to 5 inch. bcsikos Table-sample.lyx Description: Binary data Table-sample.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document

citation in the list of references
Hi, I am using Lyx with Bibtex and I cite in the document with the author-year style using the natbib style. e.g. (Renfrew 1994). I add page numbers manually which works fine for me. However when it comes to the list of references I want Lyx to repeat the short title cited in the document and adding the full titel afterwards. This should look like this Renfrew 1994 C. Renfrew, Hypocrite voyant, mon semblable . . . Viewpoint: Is there a Place for Aesthetics in Archaeology? Cambridge Arch. Journal 4, 2, 1994, 264-169. or like this Renfrew 1994: C. Renfrew, Hypocrite voyant, mon semblable . . . Viewpoint: Is there a Place for Aesthetics in Archaeology? Cambridge Arch. Journal 4, 2, 1994, 264-169. How could my plan work? Thanks for any help anne

I haven't look into it again since my original post (exporting to Latex and compiling from command line is good enough for me at this point), but it seems to me the problem is with the layout file.

Header in plain page
Hi all, The plain page after my title page by default takes the page number and header. How can I remove this?? In principle, it should be totally blank. This problem is also there in all plain pages throughout my document e.g a plain page between chapters if any. I am using document class: Book I tried the following command in the preamble : \fancypagestyle{plain}{ \fancyhead{} \fancyfoot{} \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} But this command only removes the header from chapter title pages but not from plain pages. Please help me. Regards Dhriti
how to instal tex fonts on OS X?
dear all, I recently installed LyX 2.0 and MacTeX TeXLive-2011-Basic on a Mac OS X 10.7 system. I noticed that by default fonts look pixelated in pdf output because bitmap fonts are used (http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/PDF). The FAQ suggests to use the font Latin Modern instead of the default Computer Modern. How do I install the font for LaTex on OS X? I found the font on http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern/ but could not find any straight forward instructions on how to install it on my system. Can anybody point me to a simple explanation how to install fonts? Thanks for your help!

Spell-checker with Lyx on Ubuntu 11.04
Hello, The spellchecker in Lyx is marking all strings which end with a right-quotation marks as spelled incorrectly. So the string: manifest will not get marked as incorrect, but the string: `manifest' will be marked incorrect. I have searched everywhere for a fix for this irritating problem, but to no avail. Any suggestions will be appreciated. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 LyX 2.0 Enchant & aspell Thank you.

Re: Tables
BCikos - Thanks for your interest. Here is a simple lyx document, the exported tex document and the pdf it generates. I created the LyX document just as you said, and it looks fine in LyX, but not in the pdf version. I see you inserted your table in a float, but this did not help when I tried it.

I found it easier to use the feature where the words unknown to the spellchecker are underlined in the text in red, since in my case there are many scientific names or dash-combined names. Wolfgang
