Re: Odd bibliography/citation formatting, ERT formatting

[Jason F. Siegel]

I've attached the LaTeX and BiBTex logs in one text file. I've also 
attached a LyX MWE with the ERT that got left out of the first one, to 
show the formatting problems that were apparent in the PDF of the beta file.

Hi Csikos,

I've provided a non-beta file with this e-mail. However, here the problem is
different, as I stated in the original e-mail. In the non-beta, even with
what I believe are the same settings (I'll admit I could be overlooking
something), the references don't load at all. There is no formatting of the
citations and no bibliography prints at the end. I would be happy to
continue to use the stable version of LyX if it meant I could get my
references and could format my ERT properly.

I have attached the PDFs of the non beta and the PDF of the earlier LyX file
and also the .bib file, as well, so that people can see what I'm seeing,
even if it's not reproducing on their machine.




Jason,

you file works fine here on LyX 2.0.7 (see attached). Citation and
bibliography are as you desire (I think).

What do you see in the log file?

Hello all,

I'm having some trouble getting my bibliography and in-line citations
formatted properly. For some reason, the bibliography is sorting in the
order the references are cited, rather than in alphabetical order.
Moreover, inline citations that should be Author (YEAR) are Author
(Title). I'm using biblatex 2.8 and biber 1.8, with natbib and plainnat
style on Ubuntu 13.10 with Lyx 2.1.0dev (the references don't even load
in 2.0.7 for some reason).

In the same document, ERT with the ExPex package isn't formatting as
expected. I'm trying to get bold italics , but \bf gives me bold upright
characters and \textbf gives me one bold italicized character followed
by italics. I'm also trying to get small caps, but it's just plain
lowercase. Any thoughts or aid people can give would be most welcome.
I've attached an he.

Jason,

I tried to open your MWE but it seems it is in lyx 2.1 format. I have only
lyx 2.0 installed.

Jason,

I tried to open your MWE but it seems it is in lyx 2.1 format. I have only lyx 
2.0 installed.

Lyx 2.1 is still beta. For questions not specific to lyx 2.1 would be better to 
offer a stable lyx (lyx 2.0) compatible example file. This would increase you 
chance to get help.

Re: LyX for writing notes about a book

[Rainer M Krug]

Yes - org is brilliant - I really love it. And you get much more then
simple note taking and math typsetting.

Now wouldn't it be brilliant to have a set of  org <--> Lyx converters?

Cheers,

Rainer

I agress with Steve that LyX is the wrong tool for taking notes. Take a
 very close look at TreeLine . It's exactly
 what
 you're looking for.

I use it to track contacts with prospects and clients and have for
 several
 years now. It's flexible, adaptable, and will do just what you want as
 long
 as you read the docs and set up the database(s) for your specific needs.
