Is is possible to install a 2.1 version? There are a ton of bug fixes between 2.0.X and a 2.1.X version. If that doesn't work, you might not have the beamer file installed but I would try upgrading first. http://www.lyx.org/Download ~Ben On Sun, Jul 13, 2014 at 11:37 AM, Mikhail Salganik

I strongly encourage you to turn the SVG into a PS, EPS, or PDF file. I think somewhere is the documentation is states that for SVG to correctly work within the document is requires inkscape. Not at all a problem, inkscape is one of the best vector editors out there but it is required as Guenter

Yea, I was just going to say to do this. I have a quick word of warning though. I think that biblatex and bibtex will take whatever .bib file you have as valid latex code. I just remembered it because I personally think this is a completely ridiculous thing to do but suffice to say, I know that

I do not know any Croatian first of all. The issue that you are having is that Lyx uses a 3rd party software (bibtex by default but biblatex is much better particularly for you) to generate references. It is taking whatever you have in your JabRef .bib file, formatting it, and placing it into

You should use biblatex. It has the ability to do this. For my example, \usepackage[ uniquename=false, uniquelist=false, maxcitenames=2, mincitenames=1, maxbibnames=200, minbibnames=1, natbib=true, url=false, doi=false, isbn=false, eprint=false, backref=false, backend=biber,

I would say that what could go wrong is your references might need to be cleaned up. I know that was the huge shift for me. The major difference (and in my opinion a terrible decision) is that biblatex assumed that your bib file is valid latex code. That means that all reserved characters are

You might have to get your configuration with ERT. I find a lot of formatting is complicated with koma. You could also play around with your din.lco file. That is where all of the spacing is defined unless overridden. I might suggest an ERT of \raggedright with the includeimage command. It is hard

Wouldn't that change the default for every document using that particular style though? If this is only for one journal, modification of style files would not only be overkill, but would impact future work in unexpected ways. To get the desired results, it would be best to limit it to document

possible that there is a bug with lyx if this occurs. BTW, I have no affiliation with Adobe at all but everyone uses it and if I don't use it, I can easily run into problems where it will view in one browser but not in others.
