Chris, it happens exactly the same to me. I use almost your same

Hi,

On a mac  you got to press “alt + s” to write it but I am not sure if he want’s

citation problem with publication from same author, same year

[Benjamin Hentschel]

Hello everyone,

this is my first post here and I hope it's ok to ask. I already did an  
intensive search on the internet regarding my question but I somehow  
can't find any pages that are related.


I have a problem with the implementation of a BibTex library in Lyx/ 
Latex. The problem occurs when I name publications from the same  
author and the same year with a,b,c etc.


So I want it to occur like this in the Document: (Tanaka 2001b) but  
after having the file compiled to a pdf the outcome is somewhat like  
this (Tanaka 001b).  For some reason the citation only refers to the  
last four letters in the field "year" so the first number is not  
written in the pdf.


I use natbib with apa-style and set "\bibpunct[: ]{(}{)}{}{}{ }{}" to  
make the citation more customlike


Does anyone experienced a similar problem? If yes, can you could give  
me some advice?


Thanks, ben

bibtex/bibdesk - small letters in articles, capitol letters in book - problem

[Benjamin Hentschel]

Hello,

I have a problem concerning the implementation of my bibdesk database  
(Im working with a mac, bibdesk 1.3.18 and lyx 1.5.5).


I have a lot of entries in my database and the implementation into lyx  
works perfect with one minor point that concerns me. When I declare an  
entry in BibDesk as an article, the output in the actual lyx-file,  
e.g. pdf-file, changes all words into small letters. For instance the  
title of an entry which I entered as
"Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit knowledge exchange in Japanese  
supply networks: the electronics industry case" appears as

"Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit
knowledge exchange in japanese supply networks: the electronics  
industry case."


Needless to say that I want it to be "Japanese supply networks"  
instead of "japanese supply networks". The same happens with names,  
which should definitely be written with a capitol letter at the  
beginning.


I also recognized that when I declare it as a book in Bibdesk/Bibtex,  
every word starts with a capitol letter.


My question now is, can I manipulate the output somehow so that it  
appears the way it should?



Thanks in advance,

ben

fancy table and figure layouts

[Benjamin Hentschel]

I was wondering,

is there some way to declare the layout of all tables and figures to  
appear somehow like this http://www.emeraldinsight.com/fig/2670100103003.png 
 ?


If yes, what kind of package could achieve this? I already did some  
research but couldn't find an example on the internet.



Thanks in advance,

problem with beamer theme

[Benjamin Deschamps]

I am trying to use the "Torino" beamer theme available here: 
http://marcobari.altervista.org/av/av.php?f=beamer-torino-0.1.tar.gz

Lyx 1.6.4.1, Mac OS 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard), MacTex 2008 (from tug.org)

I have put the .sty files in what appear to be the correct  
directories, and they show up when I go to Tools > Tex Information >  
Latex styles, in the directories:


/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/outer/
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/inner/
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/color/
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/theme/

When I add \usetheme{Torino} to the latex preamble, and try to  
generate a pdf, I get this error:


\usetheme{Torino}
^^M
***(cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)

With any other of the default themes, it works fine. Any ideas?

Cannot convert latex code to a lyx document.

[Benjamin Kay]

I've tried my home windows PC (1.6.5) and my office linux pc (1.6.0) with
the same results I cannot import Latex code into Lyx using tex2lyx or using
File-Import-Latex (plain). Both give me problems. I've tried known working
latex code on the Internet but that doesn't work either, so I don't think I
have a bad input on my end.

Within Lyx, the version shows up as 1.6.0 while from synaptic package
manager the installation is package 1.6.4-1ubuntu1. The version information
on windows says 1.6.5

The error message from lyx is:
"An error occurred whilst running tex2lyx -f
'Latex_Output_for_Housing_Class_1.tex'

The error from the command line (tex2lyx -f
Latex_Output_for_Housing_Class_1.tex tmp.lyx ) is more elaborate but no more
helpful to me:

*As far as I can tell I didn't have a PYTHONPATH. I added
PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.6 and export PYTHONPATH to my .bashrc and

*I thought it may be a path or network drive problem in windows. When I run

*Which generates a file I can open with lyx, which is good. I had been
running it from a network drive (using expandrive) and having trouble. I was
also able to confirm it worked from local "My Documents". It also worked in
lyx. I guess problem solved (or at least worked around) for windows.* *When
I run the command directly on the tex2lyx on the network drive file it also
works:*
C:\Program Files\LyX16\bin>tex2lyx -f "Z:\Documents\Macro\Predicting housing
prices with rates and risk\Latex_Output_for_Housing_Class_1.tex"
Creating file Z:/Documents/Macro/Predicting housing prices with rates and
risk/Latex_Output_for_Housing_Class_1.lyx


*Then I thought it might be the spaces in the directory name in the path to
the latex source file. when I renamed the directory to
Predicting_housing_prices_with_rates_and_risk I got the same error, so I
think it is something else. *

*
So, to summarize. I can get tex2lyx to work and lyx to call it from windows
when working on a local drive but not a network drive. I cannot get tex2lyx
(or call it from lyx) from my linux machine (local only tried) . I have
verified that I have python installed, at leas superficially works, and also
added the PYTHONPATH shell parameter. *

appendices and numbering

[Benjamin Deschamps]

Hi everyone,

I am finishing my thesis, have been using Lyx all along, so far so good. I hope 
someone can help me out with two issues.

1) How can I insert appendices at the end of my document? I would also like 
them listed in the TOC.

2) I have external PDF files embedded in the appendices. The are sized 
according to the available text space (6.5 by 9 inches), so the header space is 
not covered. How can I continue the page numbering and headers on theses pages?

Thanks in advance,

Benjamin

bibdesk reference exportation

[Benjamin Hentschel]

Hello again,

I know that there is the possibility tho export one's bibliographic  
references and I already did this several times. However, by exporting  
the whole library into let's say a html-file, all the references are  
shown with the latest-inserted on top and the rest descending  
according to the date I typed them in.


Does anybody knows a way to export the references in alphabetical  
order? A close look at the preferences of the program yielded no  
answer for me. :/


I use Bibdesk (Bibtex for mac) 1.3.18.


thanks a lot!

Nice LYX report template

[Benjamin K]

Hi

I am working with LYX for the first time and am looking for a very nice
looking LYX report template for my assignments af the Engineering college of
Copenhagen. It is not a thesis template i am looking for but rather
something that would give room for the following content:

  Synopsis
1 Introduction
2 Requirement specification
3 Design
4 Theory
5 Analysis
6 Simulations
7 Test
8 Conclusion
9 Appendix

I have been looking for this template myself but without result. I tried to
search for: "technical report lyx template" etc.

I am studying to Electronics engineering and am looking forward to produce
better looking reports. Often i am using a lot of figures and graphs.

I would be very greatfull for a link or an attachment of such an template.

Thank you.

wmf2esp or emf2esp

Hi lyx users

I have a problem: I miss the pythonscript for converting windows metafiles
to esp: emf2esp or wmf2esp
I am running the newest version of lyx: version 1.6.2

It should be included according to this website:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/MetafileToEPSConverter

Can you help
My problem is that i cannot copy a picture from a .doc and paste it into
lyx, but if I have the wmf2esp.py / emf2esp.py that should fix the problem

BibTeX citations hanging lyx

[Benjamin Korvemaker]

I'm trying to use bibtex citations in lyx -- and i've done it
successfully in the past. But i've run into a few things...

I thought lyx was supposed to automatically list the citations in the
bibtex db i've got at the bottom of the file, but it doesn't do that.
No biggy, i lived without that feature, although I swear it worked
once for me.

The one that's bothering me is that when I go to insert an entry, it
hangs. the screen updates, but nothing happens, and i get no menu
responses, etc.

Other bibtex db's don't do this. And the hanging doesn't happen to all
my lyx's (the Linux and IRIX ones do, the Solaris one doesn't). And if
I re-compile, and run lyx out of the src dir, it doesn't hang, but
when I install it and use the installed one, it hangs.

Anyone else ever see this?

Ugh.  Well, I've sort of solved my problem.  Is this a known bug? Is
there a patch I should apply?

Putting (or symlinking at least) the bib file into the current directory:
(a) allows it to be found and parsed for entries
(b) prevents lyx from hanging

Is LyX supposed to search through the directories specified by BIBINPUTS?
Or is that a flawed assumption on my part?

It *was* 

.::/home/benjamin/bib

It's *now*

.:/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/bibtex/bib//::/home/benjamin/bib//

after additional experimentation and hunting through the source, it would
seem lyx doesn't parse the "::" at all, and doesn't seem to pass it off
to kpathsea... hard-coding the path into BIBINPUTS works, but is annoying,
because things are installed differently on the Solaris and Linux boxes..

And I've just discovered (i think), the glitch..
named "um99.bib", lyx hangs..
named "um.bib", lyx parses it ok...
But looking at the code, I can't see why this could possibly matter...

Can anyone duplicate this?

feof() in insetbib.C (line 408) isn't returning true because there's
an error...

(gdb) print errno
$6 = 21

21 => is a directory...

In my home directory, there's a directory called "um99".
LyX doesn't expect the file read to fail, hence it hangs.

I'm not quite sure how to put the fix in tho...

Probably something around line 405? or a better check on line 408?

403 FilePtr file(tmp,FilePtr::read);
404 char c;
405
406 // On some systems where feof() is a macro,
407 // the () after file is needed (JMarc)
408 while (! feof(file())) {
409 c = fgetc(file);

anyways... hope this helps...

Not sure if you got things working yet, but what I've been doing is:

1) make sure I've got a JPEG or PNG for each PS or EPS file imported.
   One's better for pictures, and the other for line art.  Just make
   sure when you convert the eps to make it a bit bigger than you'll
   need, so that pdflatex is scaling pixels down and not up.
2) when inserting pictures, trim off the .ps or .eps -- latex still
   finds them, and pdflatex finds the .jpg or .png, I think.  Worst case,
   you have to go through the latex source and change the filenames
   by hand.
3) export to latex
4) run pdflatex on the source  -- bibtex too, if you use it.

Oh, and always make sure your font is Times or something that acroread
likes. But everyone's pointed that out.

I don't know why you're having that problem, i'm running fine w/ rh
6.1, but here's a few things:

1. check that you have the right xforms library.

2. if that doesn't help, tweak your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find the libc5
libs. Things like wordperfect blow up if the LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't
exactly /usr/i486-linux/libc5:/usr/X11R6 .. so your millage may vary.

Hope this triggers someone's memory and they can explain things
further.

If I understand what you're asking, you need to use the latex command
\marginparwidth in the LaTeX Preamble (under the Layout Menu).

eg.

\marginparwidth 2in

There's probably 3 other ways to do it, but this is the one I was
reduced to recently. If you've got the LaTeX user's guide and reference
by Lamport, figure C.3 (Page style parameters) on page 182 in the second
edition gives you a list of all the latex commands to tweak the margins.

It looks like I'm cross-reference junkie and being punished for it.

I added a couple more labels, and now part-way into the "Refs->Insert

Is it just my installation, or is this a known limitation? (i checked

paper.cls usage produces -> error stack size

I have a problem. I have written a work for the university in Lyx and
created it with the document-class article. Now I turned to paper because of

Durch die hin und herkonvertierung, article - paper - article, lann es sein,
dass du im Dokument irgendwas durcheinander gebracht hast.

Du hast eine Sicherheitskopie mit dem alten article Style?
Man kann auch mit der Article Klasse Dokumente in sans erstellen:
Einfach:

% Sans als Standard
\renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault}

Im LaTeX Vorspann einfügen, das wars. Und das funktioniert mit so ziemlich
jeder Dokument Klasse.
Dieser und viele andere Tips finden sich unter dem Link Tips & Tricks auf
der
Lyx Seite oder direkt unter: http://LaTeX.s-v-p.de/


Übribens, Koma-article und die anderen Koma Klassen sind besser an deutsche
und europ. typografische Konventionen angepasst als article, boock oder
letter oder auch dinbrief.
Und die Koma Klassen sind recht gut Dokumentier, auch in Deutsch.

citation problem with publication from same author, same year

[Benjamin Hentschel]

Hello everyone,

this is my first post here and I hope it's ok to ask. I already did an  
intensive search on the internet regarding my question but I somehow  
can't find any pages that are related.


I have a problem with the implementation of a BibTex library in Lyx/ 
Latex. The problem occurs when I name publications from the same  
author and the same year with a,b,c etc.


So I want it to occur like this in the Document: (Tanaka 2001b) but  
after having the file compiled to a pdf the outcome is somewhat like  
this (Tanaka 001b).  For some reason the citation only refers to the  
last four letters in the field year so the first number is not  
written in the pdf.


I use natbib with apa-style and set \bibpunct[: ]{(}{)}{}{}{ }{} to  
make the citation more customlike


Does anyone experienced a similar problem? If yes, can you could give  
me some advice?


Thanks, ben

bibtex/bibdesk - small letters in articles, capitol letters in book - problem

[Benjamin Hentschel]

Hello,

I have a problem concerning the implementation of my bibdesk database  
(Im working with a mac, bibdesk 1.3.18 and lyx 1.5.5).


I have a lot of entries in my database and the implementation into lyx  
works perfect with one minor point that concerns me. When I declare an  
entry in BibDesk as an article, the output in the actual lyx-file,  
e.g. pdf-file, changes all words into small letters. For instance the  
title of an entry which I entered as
Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit knowledge exchange in Japanese  
supply networks: the electronics industry case appears as

Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit
knowledge exchange in japanese supply networks: the electronics  
industry case.


Needless to say that I want it to be Japanese supply networks  
instead of japanese supply networks. The same happens with names,  
which should definitely be written with a capitol letter at the  
beginning.


I also recognized that when I declare it as a book in Bibdesk/Bibtex,  
every word starts with a capitol letter.


My question now is, can I manipulate the output somehow so that it  
appears the way it should?



Thanks in advance,

ben

Cannot convert latex code to a lyx document.

I've tried my home windows PC (1.6.5) and my office linux pc (1.6.0) with

latex code on the Internet but that doesn't work either, so I don't think I
have a bad input on my end.

Within Lyx, the version shows up as 1.6.0 while from synaptic package
manager the installation is package 1.6.4-1ubuntu1. The version information
on windows says 1.6.5

appendices and numbering

[Benjamin Deschamps]

Hi everyone,

I am finishing my thesis, have been using Lyx all along, so far so good. I hope 
someone can help me out with two issues.

1) How can I insert appendices at the end of my document? I would also like 
them listed in the TOC.

2) I have external PDF files embedded in the appendices. The are sized 
according to the available text space (6.5 by 9 inches), so the header space is 
not covered. How can I continue the page numbering and headers on theses pages?

Thanks in advance,

Benjamin

 If you are using Insert:File:External Material and pdf pages, you are 
 already using the pages={} in the LyX/LaTeX options tab. If you want to 
 have the pages/header displayed, add the following to the command to the 
 LyX/LaTeX options tab (in LaTeX format):
 
 pages={WHATEVER YOU ALREADY 
 HAVE},pagecommand={\thispagestyle{plain}},scale=1.0
 
 This will make sure that every PDF page included has the command 
 \thispagestyle{plain} added during processing, which should show basic page 
 numbers. If you are using another style, use its name instead of plain (ie: 
 headings, fancy). See dialog Document:Settings:Page Layout:Headings Style for 
 the style name you are using.
 
 If you do have some PDF pages which would cover the header space, change the 
 scale value above from 1.0 to a smaller value, just enough so that the 
 headers are uncovered. You can also look at the other options for pdfpages at 
 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdfpages/pdfpages.pdf.

Nice LYX report template

[Benjamin K]

Hi

I am working with LYX for the first time and am looking for a very nice
looking LYX report template for my assignments af the Engineering college of
Copenhagen. It is not a thesis template i am looking for but rather
something that would give room for the following content:

  Synopsis
1 Introduction
2 Requirement specification
3 Design
4 Theory
5 Analysis
6 Simulations
7 Test
8 Conclusion
9 Appendix

I have been looking for this template myself but without result. I tried to
search for: technical report lyx template etc.

I am studying to Electronics engineering and am looking forward to produce
better looking reports. Often i am using a lot of figures and graphs.

I would be very greatfull for a link or an attachment of such an template.

Thank you.

wmf2esp or emf2esp

[Benjamin K]

Hi lyx users

I have a problem: I miss the pythonscript for converting windows metafiles
to esp: emf2esp or wmf2esp
I am running the newest version of lyx: version 1.6.2

It should be included according to this website:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/MetafileToEPSConverter

Can you help
My problem is that i cannot copy a picture from a .doc and paste it into
lyx, but if I have the wmf2esp.py / emf2esp.py that should fix the problem

Problem with text overlapping header

[Benjamin K]

Dear Lyx users

I have a problem with my text overlapping my custom made header (with my
schools logo).
How can i solve this?

I use lyx 1.6.2

I have attached the image (png), the lyx document and the pdf.

This is in my preamble:

\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\usepackage{graphics}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\pagestyle{fancy}

\lhead{What ever you want to have here}

\chead{Centered in the header}

\rhead{\includegraphics{IHK_Logo.png}}

\lfoot{The left side of the footer}

\cfoot{The center of the footer}

problem with beamer theme

[Benjamin Deschamps]

I am trying to use the Torino beamer theme available here: 
http://marcobari.altervista.org/av/av.php?f=beamer-torino-0.1.tar.gz

Lyx 1.6.4.1, Mac OS 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard), MacTex 2008 (from tug.org)

I have put the .sty files in what appear to be the correct  
directories, and they show up when I go to Tools  Tex Information   
Latex styles, in the directories:


/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/outer/
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/inner/
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/color/
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/theme/

When I add \usetheme{Torino} to the latex preamble, and try to  
generate a pdf, I get this error:


\usetheme{Torino}
^^M
***(cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)

With any other of the default themes, it works fine. Any ideas?

BibTeX citations hanging lyx

[Benjamin Korvemaker]

I'm trying to use bibtex citations in lyx -- and i've done it
successfully in the past. But i've run into a few things...

I thought lyx was supposed to automatically list the citations in the
bibtex db i've got at the bottom of the file, but it doesn't do that.
No biggy, i lived without that feature, although I swear it worked
once for me.

The one that's bothering me is that when I go to insert an entry, it
hangs. the screen updates, but nothing happens, and i get no menu
responses, etc.

Other bibtex db's don't do this. And the hanging doesn't happen to all
my lyx's (the Linux and IRIX ones do, the Solaris one doesn't). And if
I re-compile, and run lyx out of the src dir, it doesn't hang, but
when I install it and use the installed one, it hangs.

Anyone else ever see this?

Ugh.  Well, I've sort of solved my problem.  Is this a known bug? Is
there a patch I should apply?

Putting (or symlinking at least) the bib file into the current directory:
(a) allows it to be found and parsed for entries
(b) prevents lyx from hanging

Is LyX supposed to search through the directories specified by BIBINPUTS?
Or is that a flawed assumption on my part?

 LyX is supposed to parse BIBINPUTS. What does your BIBINPUTS variable
 contain?

It *was* 

.::/home/benjamin/bib

It's *now*

.:/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/bibtex/bib//::/home/benjamin/bib//

after additional experimentation and hunting through the source, it would
seem lyx doesn't parse the "::" at all, and doesn't seem to pass it off
to kpathsea... hard-coding the path into BIBINPUTS works, but is annoying,
because things are installed differently on the Solaris and Linux boxes..

And I've just discovered (i think), the glitch..
named "um99.bib", lyx hangs..
named "um.bib", lyx parses it ok...
But looking at the code, I can't see why this could possibly matter...

Can anyone duplicate this?

LyX doesn't expect the file read to fail, hence it hangs.

I'm not quite sure how to put the fix in tho...

Probably something around line 405? or a better check on line 408?

403 FilePtr file(tmp,FilePtr::read);
404 char c;

 Thanks. I know where to head for information now :)

Not sure if you got things working yet, but what I've been doing is:

1) make sure I've got a JPEG or PNG for each PS or EPS file imported.
   One's better for pictures, and the other for line art.  Just make
   sure when you convert the eps to make it a bit bigger than you'll
   need, so that pdflatex is scaling pixels down and not up.
2) when inserting pictures, trim off the .ps or .eps -- latex still
   finds them, and pdflatex finds the .jpg or .png, I think.  Worst case,
   you have to go through the latex source and change the filenames
   by hand.
3) export to latex
4) run pdflatex on the source  -- bibtex too, if you use it.

Oh, and always make sure your font is Times or something that acroread
likes. But everyone's pointed that out.

I don't know why you're having that problem, i'm running fine w/ rh
6.1, but here's a few things:

1. check that you have the right xforms library.

2. if that doesn't help, tweak your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find the libc5
libs. Things like wordperfect blow up if the LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't
exactly /usr/i486-linux/libc5:/usr/X11R6 .. so your millage may vary.

If I understand what you're asking, you need to use the latex command
\marginparwidth in the LaTeX Preamble (under the Layout Menu).

eg.

\marginparwidth 2in

There's probably 3 other ways to do it, but this is the one I was
reduced to recently. If you've got the LaTeX user's guide and reference

I added a couple more labels, and now part-way into the "Refs-Insert

Is it just my installation, or is this a known limitation? (i checked

citation problem with publication from same author, same year

[Benjamin Hentschel]

Hello everyone,

this is my first post here and I hope it's ok to ask. I already did an  
intensive search on the internet regarding my question but I somehow  
can't find any pages that are related.


I have a problem with the implementation of a BibTex library in Lyx/ 
Latex. The problem occurs when I name publications from the same  
author and the same year with a,b,c etc.


So I want it to occur like this in the Document: (Tanaka 2001b) but  
after having the file compiled to a pdf the outcome is somewhat like  
this (Tanaka 001b).  For some reason the citation only refers to the  
last four letters in the field year so the first number is not  
written in the pdf.


I use natbib with apa-style and set \bibpunct[: ]{(}{)}{}{}{ }{} to  
make the citation more customlike


Does anyone experienced a similar problem? If yes, can you could give  
me some advice?


Thanks, ben

bibtex/bibdesk - small letters in articles, capitol letters in book - problem

[Benjamin Hentschel]

Hello,

I have a problem concerning the implementation of my bibdesk database  
(Im working with a mac, bibdesk 1.3.18 and lyx 1.5.5).


I have a lot of entries in my database and the implementation into lyx  
works perfect with one minor point that concerns me. When I declare an  
entry in BibDesk as an article, the output in the actual lyx-file,  
e.g. pdf-file, changes all words into small letters. For instance the  
title of an entry which I entered as
Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit knowledge exchange in Japanese  
supply networks: the electronics industry case appears as

Shukko (employee transfers) and tacit
knowledge exchange in japanese supply networks: the electronics  
industry case.


Needless to say that I want it to be Japanese supply networks  
instead of japanese supply networks. The same happens with names,  
which should definitely be written with a capitol letter at the  
beginning.


I also recognized that when I declare it as a book in Bibdesk/Bibtex,  
every word starts with a capitol letter.


My question now is, can I manipulate the output somehow so that it  
appears the way it should?



Thanks in advance,

ben

on windows says 1.6.5

then it returns to the command line and leaves the file

*Then I thought it might be the spaces in the directory name in the path to
the latex source file. when I renamed the directory to
Predicting_housing_prices_with_rates_and_risk I got the same error, so I
think it is something else. *

*
So, to summarize. I can get tex2lyx to work and lyx to call it from windows
when working on a local drive but not a network drive. I cannot get tex2lyx

appendices and numbering

[Benjamin Deschamps]

Hi everyone,

I am finishing my thesis, have been using Lyx all along, so far so good. I hope 
someone can help me out with two issues.

1) How can I insert appendices at the end of my document? I would also like 
them listed in the TOC.

2) I have external PDF files embedded in the appendices. The are sized 
according to the available text space (6.5 by 9 inches), so the header space is 
not covered. How can I continue the page numbering and headers on theses pages?

Thanks in advance,

Benjamin

 If you are using Insert:File:External Material and pdf pages, you are 
 already using the pages={} in the LyX/LaTeX options tab. If you want to 
 have the pages/header displayed, add the following to the command to the 
 LyX/LaTeX options tab (in LaTeX format):
 
 pages={WHATEVER YOU ALREADY 
 HAVE},pagecommand={\thispagestyle{plain}},scale=1.0
 
 This will make sure that every PDF page included has the command 
 \thispagestyle{plain} added during processing, which should show basic page 
 numbers. If you are using another style, use its name instead of plain (ie: 
 headings, fancy). See dialog Document:Settings:Page Layout:Headings Style for 
 the style name you are using.
 
 If you do have some PDF pages which would cover the header space, change the 
 scale value above from 1.0 to a smaller value, just enough so that the 
 headers are uncovered. You can also look at the other options for pdfpages at 
 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdfpages/pdfpages.pdf.

bibdesk reference exportation

[Benjamin Hentschel]

Hello again,

I know that there is the possibility tho export one's bibliographic  
references and I already did this several times. However, by exporting  
the whole library into let's say a html-file, all the references are  
shown with the latest-inserted on top and the rest descending  
according to the date I typed them in.


Does anybody knows a way to export the references in alphabetical  
order? A close look at the preferences of the program yielded no  
answer for me. :/


I use Bibdesk (Bibtex for mac) 1.3.18.


thanks a lot!

Nice LYX report template

[Benjamin K]

Hi

I am working with LYX for the first time and am looking for a very nice
looking LYX report template for my assignments af the Engineering college of
Copenhagen. It is not a thesis template i am looking for but rather
something that would give room for the following content:

  Synopsis
1 Introduction
2 Requirement specification
3 Design
4 Theory
5 Analysis
6 Simulations
7 Test
8 Conclusion
9 Appendix

I have been looking for this template myself but without result. I tried to
search for: technical report lyx template etc.

I am studying to Electronics engineering and am looking forward to produce
better looking reports. Often i am using a lot of figures and graphs.

I would be very greatfull for a link or an attachment of such an template.

Thank you.

It should be included according to this website:

When I add \usetheme{Torino} to the latex preamble, and try to  
generate a pdf, I get this error:

With any other of the default themes, it works fine. Any ideas?

BibTeX citations hanging lyx

[Benjamin Korvemaker]

I'm trying to use bibtex citations in lyx -- and i've done it
successfully in the past. But i've run into a few things...

I thought lyx was supposed to automatically list the citations in the
bibtex db i've got at the bottom of the file, but it doesn't do that.
No biggy, i lived without that feature, although I swear it worked
once for me.

The one that's bothering me is that when I go to insert an entry, it
hangs. the screen updates, but nothing happens, and i get no menu
responses, etc.

Other bibtex db's don't do this. And the hanging doesn't happen to all
my lyx's (the Linux and IRIX ones do, the Solaris one doesn't). And if
I re-compile, and run lyx out of the src dir, it doesn't hang, but
when I install it and use the installed one, it hangs.

Anyone else ever see this?

Ugh.  Well, I've sort of solved my problem.  Is this a known bug? Is
there a patch I should apply?

Putting (or symlinking at least) the bib file into the current directory:
(a) allows it to be found and parsed for entries
(b) prevents lyx from hanging

Is LyX supposed to search through the directories specified by BIBINPUTS?
Or is that a flawed assumption on my part?

 LyX is supposed to parse BIBINPUTS. What does your BIBINPUTS variable

 JMarc
 

It *was* 

.::/home/benjamin/bib

It's *now*

.:/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/bibtex/bib//::/home/benjamin/bib//

after additional experimentation and hunting through the source, it would
seem lyx doesn't parse the "::" at all, and doesn't seem to pass it off
to kpathsea... hard-coding the path into BIBINPUTS works, but is annoying,
because things are installed differently on the Solaris and Linux boxes..

And I've just discovered (i think), the glitch..
named "um99.bib", lyx hangs..
named "um.bib", lyx parses it ok...
But looking at the code, I can't see why this could possibly matter...

Can anyone duplicate this?

403 FilePtr file(tmp,FilePtr::read);

 Thanks. I know where to head for information now :)

Not sure if you got things working yet, but what I've been doing is:

1) make sure I've got a JPEG or PNG for each PS or EPS file imported.
   One's better for pictures, and the other for line art.  Just make
   sure when you convert the eps to make it a bit bigger than you'll
   need, so that pdflatex is scaling pixels down and not up.
2) when inserting pictures, trim off the .ps or .eps -- latex still
   finds them, and pdflatex finds the .jpg or .png, I think.  Worst case,
   you have to go through the latex source and change the filenames
   by hand.
3) export to latex
4) run pdflatex on the source  -- bibtex too, if you use it.

Oh, and always make sure your font is Times or something that acroread
likes. But everyone's pointed that out.

I don't know why you're having that problem, i'm running fine w/ rh

1. check that you have the right xforms library.

2. if that doesn't help, tweak your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find the libc5

If I understand what you're asking, you need to use the latex command
\marginparwidth in the LaTeX Preamble (under the Layout Menu).

eg.

\marginparwidth 2in

There's probably 3 other ways to do it, but this is the one I was
reduced to recently. If you've got the LaTeX user's guide and reference

Hi After looking at lyx and going through  the tutorial, I thought it
was a pretty good idea.
However, I do have some problems with it. The preview buttons don't give
as feedback as a pure WYSIWYG editor.
Maybe having an view (kpdf or kdvi) instantous updated after every edit
would be a good idea. Especially when changing character formatting.
 
Also an easy to find method for specifying a style would be helpful.
 
Thanks for an interesting experience,
Ben
