When might it warn you otherwise? For example, if I compile an article master with a child book that has a chapter, then LyX will throw an "undefined control sequence" error. Also, I find LyX's extra warning about the textclass a bit misleading. There seems to be nothing special about having another textclass compared to, say, using other modules. LyX does not create an extra warning in the latter case but the problem might be basically the same. Daniel

I control input for each format with \mode{} and

However, there is one piece of conditional code where I need your
help. A Beamer slide document is declared like so
\documentclass[english]{beamer}
Because beamer is the class, then "\mode" is immediately available.
However, the Beamer article is declared as an article:
\documentclass[english]{article}
Because the \mode macro is not available yet, I am not able to
conditionalize setup statements for the article. I want to take the
"BeamerArticle" preamble code and wrap inside \mode:
\mode{
\makeatletter
% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
\usepackage{beamerarticle,pgf}
% this default might be overridden by plain title style
\newcommand\makebeamertitle{\frame{\maketitle}}%
\AtBeginDocument{
\let\origtableofcontents=\tableofcontents
\def\tableofcontents{\@ifnextchar[{\origtableofcontents}{\gobbletableofcontents}}

That fails, pdflatex error:
\mode{
The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message
was never \def'ed.
Well, that should happen. "\mode" is an unrecognized symbol in the
article document. I can't have any \mode or
\mode settings until "\usepackage{beamerarticle}" package is
loaded.
I need to write a conditional statement like "if this document is not
a Beamer slide document, then include the following code" to fix the
problem. That's where I'm stuck at the current time.

Have you tried using the other Beamer article layout (listed in the
document settings as "Beamer Article (KOMA-script)", using the
scrarticle-beamer.layout layout file? I just tried it, and \mode seems
to be defined.

user interface bug latin9 -> Unicode
This looks like a bug to me.
Create a new empty article and use the Insert Symbol tool to put in
some miscellaneous smiley faces and what not. This is the source view
of the file, which does compile.:
\documentclass[english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
\frownie \smiley \blacksmiley \sun{}
\end{document}
Then I went into Settings -> Language and changed input to utf-8.
That had the effect of automatically replacing \frownie and \smiley
with unicode symbols in the LaTeX source, like so:
\documentclass[english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
☹☺☻☼
\end{document}
That does not compile, rather the error messages say:
Package inputenc Error: Unicode char ☹ (U+2639)
Package inputenc Error: Unicode char ☺ (U+263A)
Package inputenc Error: Unicode char ☻ (U+263B)
Package inputenc Error: Unicode char ☼ (U+263C)
My thought was that LyX should not replace \frownie with ☹ unless the
document would otherwise compile correctly.
I had not too much understanding of Unicode when I started to look
into this. I found several ways to deal with this. The easiest is to
simply put "\frownie" and "\smiliey" back in the document. So far as I
can see, there's no real benefit to me that those things are entered
as ☹ symbol. I can understand, however, that when authors need to
enter letters with accents, then they have a more pressing need to
make this work.
I wrote out ways this can be corrected, with preamble adjustments
using either DeclareUnicodeCharacter or newunicodechar, on
Stackexchange
(https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/452494/lost-my-smilies-it-is-worth-the-effort-to-make-unicode-work),
we'll see what they say about it. I'm predicting the answer will be
"learn the ins and outs of xelatex".
But I do think it is a LyX bug that Unicode symbols are introduced but
can't be compiled.
I'm interested to hear your ideas.

Too complicate? I see what you mean. I agree with you. Once opened, the spelling check window should remain open until the user closes it (or at least until all errors are fixed). I made a little test document with three occurrences of one error and one occurrence of a different error. After doing a global replace to fix the first problem, the dialog closed, leaving the second error still present. Personally, I think it would be fine to close the window when there are no errors left. I just filed a bug ticket on this (https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11310). If you disagree about closing the dialog when the document is error-free (according to the spellcheck engine and current dictionaries), feel free to attach a comment to the ticket. Paul
Different textclasses warning
Hi When a document with a child document with different textclass is typeset LyX warns about this. I am wondering why that is since as far as I understood the child document does not incorporate any class information into the master document. So, is this warning because I could have used commands incompatible with the master document, like chapter when the master is an article? But then LyX would warn me anyway, or? So I am wondering whether I am missing something important or whether I could just ignore the warning. Daniel

I presume that someone designed those layout files to use whatever bibliographic standards the corresponding journals use. That said, it would be nice if class defaults, bibliographic choices etc. specified in a layout file were exposed in the document settings dialog (as if a user had typed them in), so that they could be overridden more easily.
