Problem with fraction in TikZ insert

[John Kane]

I have been experimenting with TikZ and have been through the manual TikZ pour 
l'impatient, (Gérard Tisseau et Jacques Duma) 15 novembre 2013 Everything was 
going well until I hit the second example on pg. 18. Everything is fine until I 
try to add a fraction , the \draw (22:1.5) node {$\dfrac{\pi}{4}$}; line and I 
don't see what is wrong. 

It looks like the problem is in the fraction expression because it works if I 
switch to \draw (22:1.5) node {$Z$};.

The orignal works just fine in LaTeX. Am I missing something obvious or 
encountering a package conflix of some kind? 

The message say 1:14:53.301: LaTeX2e 2011/06/27 21:14:53.304: Babel 3.9f 
and hyphenation patterns for 78 languages loaded. 21:14:53.306: 21:14:54.653:

The document compiles fine here, after I have removed all those unnecessary 
modules (Rnw [knitr], Natbibapa and the unknown shortinsets-name module).

Re: Problem with fraction in TikZ insert

[John Kane]

Thank Jurgen.
I had forgotten I even had them loaded.  They are part of my normal template.  
The shortinsets-name is a relatively new one by Andrew Parsloe that hides long 
inset names giving less distraction for something like labels or 
cross-references

Unfortuately I am still getting the same error after removing those modules and 
even reloading LyX.  I even removed the local layout I had and stripped the 
preamble to nothing but \usepackage{tikz}  with no better result.  

I, also, tried it in Lyx 2.1 with no luck.


It's beginning to look like it may be something specific to my set-up. Oh well 
I'm not using it, just experimenting for future possible use so it not a panic.

Re: Problem with fraction in TikZ insert

Good point. I am not sure when I updated TeXLive but I think it was over a year 
ago.

Must get to work now but I'll try updating it this afternoon or tomorrow and 
see what happens.

Thanks and have a good week-end.

Babel error since update

[Daniel CLEMENT]

Hello,

I had LyX slightly updated today as part of the Linux Mint Debian update
process. The version no. is 2.0.6 (as before I believe) but the package
no. is now 2.0.6-1+b1. But, at the same time, the whole TeXLive was
updated to 2013.

Now I ran into Babel errors when trying to compile documents that ran
fine before. The only workaround I've found is to set, under document
properties, linguistic package to none.

Obviously, this is not satisfactory and there has to be a better way.

Below is a copy of the error I get. TIA for any help. Best regards,

As of TeXLive 2013, babel core and babel language files have been split, and 
for some odd reason, many linux distros do not install the latter by default. 
So look for packages named texlive-babel-french or texlive-lang-french or 
similar and install them (and also the other languages).

Hi
I am using LyX 2.0.7.1 on Mac OSX Maverick and whenever I press

Is this only me and my config, and how can I get rid of the /?

Endfloat: adding Tables and Figures bookmark(s) to ToC, pdf

[Bert Lloyd]

Dear LyX users,

I am using the endfloat package to move table and figure floats to the
end of my document. I would like for separate Tables and Figures
section headers to appear in the Table of Contents and for bookmarks
to be generated in the PDF (using hyperref).

However, this doesn't seem to happen, even though I am including the
-heads- option when adding the endfloat package.

I have tried a workaround via \addcontentsline, e.g.
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Tables and Figures}
but this ends up pointing to the page before the Tables. (endfloat
starts on a newpage).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
BL

PS: LyX 2.0.7 on Windows 7. Key bits of code:
in preamble:
\usepackage[heads,lists,tablesfirst,nomarkers]{endfloat}
\usepackage{hyperref}
in body:
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Tables and Figures}

PPS - While I would prefer separate headers, I would be happy with a
single Tables and Figures entry.

Re: Problem with fraction in TikZ insert

[Paul A . Rubin]

Besides stripping out the package loads mentioned by Jürgen, I had to switch
AMSMath (Document  Settings  Math Options) from automatic to manual load
(because the \dfrac command, which requires it, is in ERT). Once I did that,
the document compiled.

Unfortuately I am still getting the same error after removing those modules and 
even reloading LyX.  I even removed the local layout I had and stripped the 
preamble to nothing but \usepackage{tikz}  with no better result.  

I, also, tried it in Lyx 2.1 with no luck.


It's beginning to look like it may be something specific to my set-up. Oh well 
I'm not using it, just experimenting for future possible use so it not a panic.

The document compiles fine here, after I have removed all those unnecessary 
modules (Rnw [knitr], Natbibapa and the unknown "shortinsets-name" module).

Good point. I am not sure when I updated TeXLive but I think it was over a year 
ago.

Must get to work now but I'll try updating it this afternoon or tomorrow and 
see what happens.

Thanks and have a good week-end.

Most likely. Note that I am using an up-to-date TeXLive 2013, while your LaTeX 
distribution looks older. Maybe you just hit an old tikz bug.

Dear all,

I have to work with Latex-imported document in LyX and have the following 
problem,

How to delete a latex macro in the text but not its argument? In particular, 
how to  replace a macro in the text, e.g

\command1{text_inside_the_brackets}

with the text inside the brackets? (the text in the brackets are different).

It is very time consuming to replace it manually, anybody has idea how to make 
it faster?


Most probably advanced search and replace, or pLyX.


I usually think this kind of thing is better done prior to import. In 
fact, whenever I import
a TeX document, I usually do it a few times, tweaking the TeX document 
after each import

to clean up various problems.

Babel error since update

[Daniel CLEMENT]

Hello,

I had LyX slightly updated today as part of the Linux Mint Debian update
process. The version no. is 2.0.6 (as before I believe) but the package
no. is now 2.0.6-1+b1. But, at the same time, the whole TeXLive was
updated to 2013.

Now I ran into Babel errors when trying to compile documents that ran
fine before. The only workaround I've found is to set, under document
properties, "linguistic package" to "none".

Obviously, this is not satisfactory and there has to be a better way.

Below is a copy of the error I get. TIA for any help. Best regards,

error message:
--8<--
! Package babel Error: Unknown option `french'. Either you misspelled it

As of TeXLive 2013, babel core and babel language files have been split, and 
for some odd reason, many linux distros do not install the latter by default. 
So look for packages named "texlive-babel-french" or "texlive-lang-french" or 
similar and install them (and also the other languages).

? inserted when pressing SHIFT-COMMAND-/ to access Help Menu

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi
I am using LyX 2.0.7.1 on Mac OSX Maverick and whenever I press
SHIFT-COMMAND-/ to access the Help Menu, a blue / even though I have
disabled the shortcut specialchar-insert-slash.

Is this only me and my config, and how can I get rid of the /?

Cheers,

Rainer

Thanks a lot Jürgen, that was it. For reference, it was
"texlive-lang-french" which was missing. After reconfiguring LyX,
everything is back to normal.

Endfloat: adding Tables and Figures bookmark(s) to ToC, pdf

[Bert Lloyd]

Dear LyX users,

I am using the endfloat package to move table and figure floats to the
end of my document. I would like for separate "Tables" and "Figures"
section headers to appear in the Table of Contents and for bookmarks
to be generated in the PDF (using hyperref).

However, this doesn't seem to happen, even though I am including the
-heads- option when adding the endfloat package.

I have tried a workaround via \addcontentsline, e.g.
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Tables and Figures}
but this ends up pointing to the page before the Tables. (endfloat
starts on a newpage).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
BL

PS: LyX 2.0.7 on Windows 7. Key bits of code:
in preamble:
\usepackage[heads,lists,tablesfirst,nomarkers]{endfloat}
\usepackage{hyperref}
in body:
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Tables and Figures}

PPS - While I would prefer separate headers, I would be happy with a
single "Tables and Figures" entry.

Hi :)

I got interested in the Round Trip Conversion project (between LyX and
.docx) formats.

Would like to know as to how I am supposed to make my earlier contribution.

Thank you :)

Re: Problem with fraction in TikZ insert

[Paul A . Rubin]

Besides stripping out the package loads mentioned by Jürgen, I had to switch
AMSMath (Document > Settings > Math Options) from automatic to manual load
(because the \dfrac command, which requires it, is in ERT). Once I did that,
the document compiled.
