Thanks. Perhaps then I would create a simple macro based on TiKZ. The
reason I want a simple macro is that it is for lecture notes and I use
these trees a lot, so want to easily create them.

I am and did not know about that package. Cool!

Nice approach. I will take a look at this.

I would claim that it does count. Anyone can send an arbitrary .lyx file
to the list. And not many people use signatures so it would not be hard
to send an email pretending to be someone else.

I'm also a fan of PGF/TiKZ. If you want to draw the diagrams using a 
drawing program, Inkscape can export a .tikz file, which you can then 
include in your LyX document. So can several other programs (Wikipedia 
page ).


If by any chance you're an R user, you might consider using something 
like the DiagrammeR package to generate the diagrams and the tikzDevice 
package to output the diagram to a .tikz file.

My workflow is to put global style definitions, etc. into a preamble.tex
file that I \input within LyX's Document Settings.  Or, if minimal, I
include them directly in the LyX file.

I then create the graphics as individual .tex files (usually
image_name.tikz.tex) that I then include as a Child Document in LyX.
The image_name.tikz.tex
are fully renderable files that I work with independently (these days, with
vimtex and Skim) while I tweak everything to my liking.  Because of this, I
also \usepackage{standalone} so that they inherit the parent document
style, font, etc. settings when rendered out via LyX.

I find this approach gives me the fine-grained control I need/want while
reducing repetition in the preamble.  Note that the preamble can also be
included in the individual standalone .tikz.tex files to make sure
everything is kept synchronized.

Crude demonstration attached.

Do you write out the TikZ each time? Or did you make an inset or macro
that makes it quicker?

I will be making several of these small trees. I can just copy paste the
code each time and it is not so much trouble, but I'm curious if you
have a smoother setup than that.

  Thanks for the pointer; I didn't know to grep for cventry. The .sty files

  I commented out those lines and replaced them without the leading period.
This did the trick. It put a comma after each paper and presentation title,

You do not have to live with it (instructions below), but think hard
before you remove it. Have you ever downloaded and compiled a .lyx file
from the internet from a place you are not sure you could trust? It
would be extremely easy to make a .lyx file that would upload/delete all
of your files (because in R this is easy to write). And for that to
happen, all you would have to do is open the LyX file and compile it.

That said, if clicking on "Always run for this document" is too much of
a pain, you can go to Tools > Preferences > Converters and uncheck the
option "Use needauth option".

I forgot to try it! Yes it is working.
I just wonder why the blasted warning is appearing in the first place. It
seems unlikely that I have a virus but possible. I did a major update on my
R packages and upgraded from knitr 1.18 to knutr 1.20 today so if it is a
virus it is migrating.

Now if I can remember how to update ClamAV signatures, I'll run a scan.

LyX--Knitr warnings.

[John Kane]

 I have the Rnw(knitr) module permanently loaded in my default template.
Ever time I compile I get a warning message (see attached screenshot). The
document compiles with no problem but this is getting on my nerves. If I
remove the module, the warning does not appear.
This seems to have appeared after an upgrade to LyX 2.3.0 on 2018-02-24.
Can anyone hazard a guess what is going on? This does not look like a bug,
much more likely a problem in my configuration but I don't have a clue on
how to diagnose the problem.

The definition of \cventry is in the moderncvbody?.sty files. There are
five of
these, which I guess are used with various options. Anyway, they all contain
code like:

\renewcommand*{\cventry}[7][.25em]{%
  \cvitem[#1]{#2}{%
    {\bfseries#3}%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#4}{}}{}{, {\slshape#4}}%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#5}{}}{}{, #5}%
    \ifthenelse{\equal{#6}{}}{}{, #6}%
    .\strut%
    \ifx&%
   
\else{\newline{}\begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth}\small#7\end{minipage}}\fi}}

The What? argument is #3 here, so this one sets it as boldface.
Affiliation, City, and Country are #4, #5, and #6, and what the code
does is insert a comma between arguments and a period at the end of the
whole thing. I'm guessing your other arguments are empty, so you get the
period after What?

It's just a guess, but since you refer to a "title", and aren't using
the other arguments, you might shouldn't be using Entry for this but
instead Item.

Document class Modern CV: extra full stops

[Rich Shepard]

  Just noticed that the Modern CV class appends a period (full stop) at the
end of each entry's What? box. This is fine when that's the appropriate end
of the title, but not when the title ends in a question mark or closing
quotation mark. After all do we want to present a sentence that ends like
this?.

  I'd appreciate suggestions on how to fix this. In /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex
/latex/moderncv/ I find many .sty files and a few .cls files and haven't a
clue which one, if any, controls insertion of full-stops. Nothing is
/immediately obvious to me as relevant.
