Or even better, put

PackageOptions natbib sort

to Document > Settings > Local Layout.

I think the class options do not make it to natbib for some
implementation reason (on natbib's side).

The easiest way to do this would be to use some LaTeX in your LyX
document. Where you now have "@name1" put, say:
\nameone
in ERT. Now in the preamble, say, put:
\def\nameone{Judy Jones}
This is a LaTeX variable, or "macro".

You could also do something like:
\def\nameonef{Judy}
\def\nameonel{Jones}
\def\nameone{\nameonef \nameonel}
and now you have access to first, last, and full names.

You can also put all of that in some separate LyX file, if you like, but
as ERT, and include it at the beginning of the file.

Caveats:

LaTeX does not allow numbers in variable names, only letters (well,
close enough). Hence "one".

You'll have to be careful to avoid naming conflicts with what LaTeX
already predefines. One way to do this is to use names like, e.g.,
\MERGEnameone.

You may run into problems with spaces after such macros. This is because
LaTeX sees the space after the macro as just separating it from what
follows, not as an actual space. You can handle this in a couple ways.
First, in the LyX file, you can do:
\nameone{}
in ERT. Now the braces terminate the macro, and LaTeX will treat a
following space as an actual space. The other option is to use the
xspace package. So the macro gets defined as:
\def\nameone{Judy Jones\xspace}
and you put
\usepackage{xspace}
into the preamble. The \xspace macro adds a space, but only if what
follows isn't punctuation, etc. It isn't perfect, but it usually works.

This is a very simple approach. Try searching "latex mail merge" for
more sophisticated ones.

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to apply hyperlinks without screwing up URL

RELEVANT FACTS:

Linux, 64 bit Void distro

LyX version 2.2.2

Document class based on document class "book".

\usepackage{soul}

\usepackage[bookmarks,
plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels,colorlinks=true,bookmarksnumbered=true]{hyperref}

\usepackage{color}

  

I made a small test document (attached) using the standard book
class.

Paul, it turns around that, for some reason, when I put:

\usepackage[bookmarks,
unicode=true,plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels,colorlinks=true,bookmarksnumbered=true]{hyperref}

LyX ignored the arguments. But, when I put:

bookmarks,
unicode=true,plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels,colorlinks=true,bookmarksnumbered=true

in the Custom field in the document settings document class dialog box,
coloration comes back.

So that material must be repeated twice, once in that field, and once
in the layout file.

ACTUALLY, I lied. It turns out that if I have:

\usepackage{hyperref} in the layout and the arguments in the field, it
still works.

OH WAIT, I lied some more. It turns out I don't even have to put in the
layout file:

\usepackage{hyperref}

LyX somehow just knows that.

Whatever this is all about, it's in need of some serious documentation.

But, the good news is, I can go about my business using both URLs and
hyperlinks.

LyX loads certain LaTeX packages automagically when it sees some 
features of the document that it knows will need said packages. I'm 
pretty sure hyperref is in that category (see a hyperlink, load the 
package). What I believe happens then is that if the user tries to load 
the package manually in the preamble, LaTeX sees two \usepackage 
statements for the same package and pays attention to only one of them 
(the first, I think). I think the automatic load precedes user 
specifications in the preamble, so the user's options get lost. Seems to 
me I've seen a trick suggested in some cases where the user indicates 
that some module or something provides the disputed package, to prevent 
LyX from adding the automatic load command. (Note all the qualifiers in 
the previous paragraph: I'm not at all sure about this.)


As the Bard said, though, all's well that ends well.

For now, add it as a document class option. It will be passed down the line.

mailmerge

[John White]

I use lyx and am using it more and more in what I call "mailmerge" mode, 
similar to how I 
once used mailmerge in Wordstar.  Once I have a good form document (say a will 
or a 
contract) I replace the names with, say "@name1" and then I replace all @name1 
with the 
new data, e.g. "Judy Jones".

This works fine, but on longer documents (say a 40 page document) with, say 
@name1 
through @name12, it can get a bit confusing.  I put all the replacement data in 
a separate lyx 
file and go back and forth to that file until I have made all replacements.

I use article class.

Is there perhaps a better layout or class or perhaps something else lyx that I 
should be 
using?

Thanks

NatBib "sort" specifier

[Joel Kulesza]

All,

Am I overlooking how to specify "sort
"
when using natbib via LyX?  I see how I can use it in the preamble, but I
cannot find where to specify it using the Bibliography interface.

It looks like it should be specified as a \usepackage option.  However, in
the Document -> Settings -> Bibliography window, it's not clear how I'd
specify this.  I think this dialog is under active development; maybe this
has been added?

Thank you,
Joel

As a guess, since you probably use a font set that includes the 
Umlaut-U as a character, the glossary is sorting by the order that 
that symbol appears in the font.  You might try replacing that 
character by the TeX equivalent \"{U}  (in ERT) and see whether it is

I'm glad I guessed right about the umlaut.  But for this I think there 
is a different problem.  \textbf{}  has, I believe, a problem with math 
mode.  Try $\mathbf{Q_{10}}$ instead -- or, equivalently, enter 
math-mode in LyX and type \mathbf (then space), and then Q_10 (space).

a) You can edit a *.cls (LaTeX document class) file with any text editor.

   You need to make sure the content stays valid LaTeX code, though.
   You may need to consult a LaTeX book or online documentation, e.g.,
   the starter "clsguide.pdf" that comes with every LaTeX distribution.

b) The cls file cannot be compiled directly, only documents using it can be
   compiled (this holds for both, LaTeX and LyX documents).
   
   To test your *.cls file, create a small LaTeX document and compile this
   "by hand".
   
c) LyX adds a layer, the *.layout file that is an interface between the
   definitions in the *.cls file and what you want to see in LyX.
   See Help>Customization for details.
   
Hope that gets you started. In case of problems, please ask giving a
*minimal* example and the error message.
