Re: Removing period following section reference

2017-10-13 Thread Christos Makridis
Hi everyone,

I think I resolved it. There was a component of my preamble that I've been
using based on someone else's template, and it included a command that put
periods after section numbers.

Just to clarify RE the minimum working example: what I had put in my
earlier email was something that could literally be copy/pasted into a lyx
file, so I just assumed that would suffice. I can send an actual lyx file
in the future even if it is just three lines of lyx commands though!


Re: Removing period following section reference

2017-10-12 Thread Christos Makridis
Hey Steve and everyone,

Yes sorry, let me be more explicit. First, see the screenshot below -- this
is what I get showing right now.

[image: Inline image 1]


Now, with that in mind, notice the two periods -- the problem is whenever I
reference that appendix section, i.e. \ref{subsec:AAA}, it references A1.3
with a period at the end, rather than just A1.3

What I'd like to do is remove that period whenever referencing something
from the Appendix -- or any section (even if not in the appendix) for that
matter.


Removing period following section reference

2017-10-12 Thread Christos Makridis
Hey Lyx Community,

I've spent some time searching online for a resolution to this, but haven't
found much.

The issue is as follows.

Suppose I write a section in the appendix (insert appendix here) like:

\section{data details}
\label{sec:data}

But then I refer to:

Appendix Section \label{sec:data}

It will show up as Appendix Section A1*.*

Note that lyx places the period there automatically even if I do not put
one.

Does anyone know how to remove that?

Thank you as always for your expertise!

Re: SIGSEGV error

2017-07-25 Thread Christos Makridis
Hey Scott,

I actually don't have the file now since I overwrote it after fixing the
problem, but I think you could replicate it by putting in a "bad" character
and trying to paste it into lyx and then pdf it? I am not really sure what
constitutes a bad character in lyx versus something that is okay in word.


Re: Lyx Tables/Figures and Section Question

2017-06-30 Thread Christos Makridis
Thanks Ricardo, and yes if anyone has any familiarity with putting
tables/figures at different parts of a document, let me know. Right now,
they kind of get meshed together and I want to separate the tables/figures
for the manuscript out from those associated with the appendix of my paper.

Thank you!


Lyx Tables/Figures and Section Question

2017-06-29 Thread Christos Makridis
Hey Lyx Community,

I've got two simple questions for you all when you have time.

First, how do you get tables and figures to give roman numerals, rather
than numerics?

Second, how do you make it so that when you're referencing a figure or
table from the appendix ("\section*{Appendix}"), it actually shows
something like "Appendix Figure II" -- so it is restarting the numbering
once you get to the appendix.

There's some useful material in the link below, but nothing that completely
answered my question.
https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Numbering#fig-by-sections

Thank you for your time!

Re: SIGSEGV error

2017-06-21 Thread Christos Makridis
Perfect, looking at the source pane helped diagnose the problem -- an
imbalanced space from MS word -- great suggestion! I did not know that
source pane even existed before.

(I would have added more details, like an example, but I wasn't sure what
could be causing it before. I am using the latest version of lyx on a
windows machine FYI.)

Thank you for teaching me this new trick!


SIGSEGV error

2017-06-21 Thread Christos Makridis
Hey everyone,

I've googled around and there doesn't seem to be a consensus about the
source of the problem -- some just suggest making sure the lyx is the
latest version.

I've attached the error as a screen shot. But, the problem seems to be
rooted in some text that I copy/pasted from a word doc. The formatting was
different, so I first pasted into another word doc with no special
formatting, and then into lyx. But when I try to pdf the document, it
crashes. (Before, it would crash when I highlighted the pasted in text.) It
seems to be "normal" now that I took that part of the text out.

Any ideas what is going wrong?

Re: Lyx/Latex Beamer Compatibility

2017-05-30 Thread Christos Makridis
Hey everyone,

I talked with my collaborator and acquired some more details. When she was
installing lyx, it asked her to update miktex/install updates. She did that
and after that was when tex was not working. So then she uninstalled lyx,
but tex was still not working, so she uninstalled miktex and reinstalled
it. So her beamer slides and some formats of latex are still not working on
her windows desktop.

My thought was just to reinstall everything and get all the packages up to
date?

problem!)


Re: Lyx/Latex Beamer Compatibility

2017-05-29 Thread Christos Makridis
Hey Richard,

I am pretty sure it is Windows, and it's the most recent version from
miktex. I can ask her for the specifics though if you think it might help?

Lyx/Latex Beamer Compatibility

2017-05-29 Thread Christos Makridis
Hey Lyx Community,

One of my collaborators downloaded lyx, but for some reason it prevented
her from compiling her latex files as she normally did. After she
uninstalled lyx, there was still a problem with beamer, which would not
compile. Specifically, it gave the following error:
---
(C:/Users/filepathXX
i_DEc2016_NBER.nav
! Undefined control sequence.
l.1 \beamer@endinputifotherversion
{3.33pt}
?
---

Does anyone know why this happened, and if there's a way to avoid it? I
googled the error and it looks like the problem arises from something on
line 1 in the beamer file. But, even so, why was it not a problem before
lyx was installed, and why is it a problem even after it is uninstalled?

Thank you for your help!

Re: Lyx PDF Error w/ Bib File

2017-02-27 Thread Christos Makridis
Hey Scott et al.,

Thank you for your patience -- and in fact that seemingly simple process
led me to the discovery of the problem. Apparently the new version of lyx
treated some technical errors in my bib file that were not creating or
showing a problem before, but these errors are obviously still wrong. My
bib file is ~560 pages, so I went through and discovered were they are --
and now it seems to work, great!

Hey Lyx Users,

Thank you very much for the reply. I actually didn't receive a reply
earlier and I checked my spam, so perhaps also copy my gmail (
christos.a.makri...@gmail.com) as well.

I had tried taking out the comma from the citation that Scott mentioned
from the earlier post, but it doesn't solve the problem. I repeated it
again and am including the error message. Just to be clear, the bib file
was working fine on the earlier lyx version -- it's just the most recent
one creating the problem.

Hey Lyx Community,

First time emailing the general list, so apologies if there's something I
am overlooking. I am a PhD candidate at Stanford working in economics and a
big fan of Lyx because of how easy it makes editing while still retaining
the flexibility and beautiful typesetting inherent in Latex.

The recent 2.2.2 version seems to produce a problem with my .bib file. In
particular, when I PDF my document, it gives a series of errors (see below).

[image: Inline image 1]

I have spent quite a bit of time diagnosing the errors. First, I want to
note in case it is not clear that these errors never arise in previous
versions -- and I am still using 1.2.2 now because this newer version isn't
working for me. Second, it appears that one of the problems is when the
word "and" is in the citation; then double braces can partially remedy the
problem. I am not sure about the first three errors that came up though.

Just to give an example of one of my citations, see below.

@article{JaimovichSiu:highskilled,

title={{High-skilled immigration, STEM employment, and non-routine-biased
technical change}},

author={Jaimovich, Nir, and Siu, Henry E.},

journal={NBER working paper},

year={2017},

volume={},

pages={},

}


Does anyone know what the source of the problem is and/or a remedy?


Thank you for your time and interest!
