Jess,

>From your description it seems that biber or bibtex (depending which
processor you you choose in Document>>settings>>bibliography) are not
finding your .bib file. This is typically the reason for your output
showing the bibtex keys (in bold) instead of the references.

Also, did you tell biblatex where to look for your bib file>? You need a
line like the following in your preamble:

\addbibresource{/absolute/path/to/my/bibfile.bib}

Notice that the .bib extension IS REQUIRED

Could you post a minimal example, if the above does not work?

Cheers,

S.

How to use biblatex-dw with biber or biblatex or bilatex8 in LyX…

2013-03-08 Thread jezZiFeR
Dear list,

I hope, that somebody could help me. I do have very basic and hopefully simple 
problem. I use LyX 2.0.5.1 on OSX 10.6.8 and have installed the recent version 
of biblatex.

I have followed the installation instructions from this site:
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex

I tried to use biblatex, biblatex 8 and biber with biblatex-dw, and in all 
three cases – if I got them working, which I am not sure of – I have the same 
problem: the citations are never shown properly in the rendered files –  just 
the cite key in a bold font is displayed.

In the document preferences I have now selected Natbib, but I have also tried 
Standard.

I think there must be something wrong, which does not regard to biber or 
biblatex, could that be? and, btw, which of the three possibilities would you 
recommend?

Thank you!
Jess

It does. Take the attached file and compile it with XeTeX. Note that
XeTeX also works with TeX fonts.

This has always been a source of frustration to me.  It seems like the
default behavior should be for the paragraph style in a float to be
centered.  This should be for tables and figures.

Is there any reason why the current behavior is favored over centering?

Sometimes LaTeX decides to absorb this sort of thing. Try checking the 
"protect" box. That can work.

You can simply try with texlive-lang-greek from squeeze. If it is too old,
I'd rather recommend texlive 2012 from Debian/testing instead of a local
install. Simply add 

deb http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/debian/debian/ testing main contrib 
non-free

(or another repo) to to /etc/apt/sources.list und do a selective
update/install (just texlive and dependencies).

Thanks, Ehud.

however, I am on Linux Debian squeeze and synaptic has 
texlive 9-11 squeeze 1 
as the newest version.

I do have texlive 2012 from the TeX Collection 2012 on a DVD somewhere on 
the PC with paths set to it but have to find out first. Takes time in my 
age...

May be I should install it again from the DVD to the correct place in the

-highlight the figure with the mouse
-right click in it with mouse
-in the drop down menue go to paragraph setting (between text style and 
language)
-in the appearing box mark centered.
