I guess I have either to change the bst file from spbasic to a german

Could I share the bst file with somebody who has already done theses

The file spbasic.bst is a plain text file which you can edit with a 
simple editor. You can locate it on the command line using


kpsewhich spbasic.bst

which will give you its path. Make a local copy of spbasic.bst in the 
same folder as your LyX file (I recommend also giving it a different 
name). Open the file and you will find


FUNCTION {bbl.and}
{ "and"}

followed by many more short functions for "edited by", "chap", etc. The 
part {bbl.and} defines the name of the function, and should be left as 
is. The part { "and"} is the return value of the function, which you 
want to change. Simply replace "and" to "und" and also translate any of 
the other functions as necessary. Use this translated copy in your LyX file.

I think biber is also caching things.



That may be the case, as I have now solved the problem (but not found an
explanation yet).
So it turns out I had a bunch of auxiliary files related to the failing
document in the document's own directory. But none related to  its
successful twin. (These files were left over from the command line
compilations). Once I deleted those, compilation finally succeeded.


I think the explanation is that you suffered from this issue:

I understand your argument, Stefano. It is a reasonable one and also a

you just want your PDF and don't have time to think about fixing a

not a bug. You might want to open a trac ticket because this type of

often in 2.2 if we start stopping compilation when BibTeX errors occur
(see http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/2757). Input from your side of the
debate is important since we don't have any developer currently
defending that (popular) feature request and it is important to
understand and try to accommodate all workflows.


FWIW I also think we should have a compilation mode which keeps going as 
far as possible. Of course, it would be a opt-in setting (could be a

Re: how to restrict cited authors to 3 in the Bibliography

Wouldn't that change the default for every document using that

A philosophy of "don't change more than you need to" is demanded when
using lyx and latex, at least to me. That said, yes. Changing the format
of how bibtex writes out the references in the document would work but
from a technical standpoint, that does far more than just change the
reference output for a single document so would best be avoided.

~Ben



Your concern is true only if one saves the modified file under the same 
name as the original and somewhere in the tex tree. Good practice 
dictates that if one modifies a style file, then a different name is 
also given to it, as I did. And one can decide whether to have this new 
style available in the tex tree or to keep it local, since it is 
sufficient to have it saved in the current document's directory.


I can understand that bibtex has deep issues which are only really 
addressed by moving on to a different system, but the concern you raise 
does not appear to me to be one of them.

The above says, if 3 names have already been printed, and the number of

Hello List Members,

Please bear with me as I'm a newcomer.

I have a question about sections & preambles in a bibliography to which I just
can't figure out the answer.

I'm working with the Koma Script book class (LyX 2.0.6 on OS X 10.7). At the end
of the book, I have to (1) have a bibliography with 3 different sections. Also,
(2) I have to insert text preambles, preferably after the bibliography section
titles and before the actual references themselves. At the very least, I could
settle for just one text preamble after the main title "Bibliography", and
before the first bibliography section title. (See below for crude examples of
the desired result).

Also—and this seems to be important—I'm doing the bibliography
manually, i.e. I'm not generating it automatically with any external databases.

I discovered the setting "Sectioned Bibliography" in Document Settings /
Bibliography. And I've read the PDF entitled "LyX Extended Features", esp.
§3.1.2., and other messages on this list. However, I just can't figure out how
to implement this manually. Any solutions seem to rely on the use of an external
database, which I don't use. But it doesn't seem as if it should be that
complicated, especially for someone not averse to using ERT.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, and many thanks to anyone who'd have any ideas about this.

Hi,

The bibliography preamble is the content of the macro \bibpreamble. It's 
empty by default, but you can set it using \def\bibpreamble{This text is 
the preamble.} in ERT. Since you are using Koma-Script, you can use 
\setbibpreamble{Text} to achieve the same. Koma-Script additionally 
offers the \BreakBibliography command to insert text fragments (or even 
section titles) between bibliographic entries. See the attached example 
and the Koma-Script documentation (scrguien.pdf) for more.

Julien

Rough answer: those that require \usepackage{natbib} (and nothing else 
will do).


Technical answer: those that produce \bibitem in natbib's syntax:

\bibitem[Author 1 et al.(2013)Author 1, Author 2 and Author 3]{...}

That includes not only the styles shipped with the natbib package, also

There are many other syntaxes for \bibitem, invented by other packages: 
natbib will understand most of them, but it then might be feature-limited.

Sorry, I should have had a look. It i using the article class, so that's
fine. In the template, the LaTeX code for inserting figure and table floats
are commented out with % characters at the beginning of the lines, that's
why it gets imported as ERT. Just insert figure and table floats in the
usual way using the LyX frontend, it will generate the LaTeX code for you.
LyX generates standard LaTeX for this, and the template also uses standard
LaTeX here (as opposed to their formatting for the title and authors), so
this should not be a problem.

If I don't do it, I have to write the roman subnumber manually. However,
if I later on insert another equation within the subequations, I'll have
to scan the whole document and fix the subnumbers in all cross references...

Does anyone know of a way to automatize this process? Without having to

Why wouldn't you label the subequation that you specifically want to

I can do short of typing authors' names by hand?



Ask them to provide a natbib-compatible style, or create one yourself. 
As it is, their style is meant to be used with the "default" 
bibliography mode. You can use it with natbib, but you won't be able to 
use natbib's features.



Also, PLoS provides a template for LaTeX users.
(http://www.plosone.org/static/plos_template.tex) What do I do with that
thing? I tried just importing the template into LyX and copying my text
into it, but it's not at all clear what to do with the figure legends
and tables. Do I edit the ERT directly?



These probably shouldn't come out as ERT. The reason is probably because 
there is no .layout file for this LaTeX class. Creating a layout file is 
explained in the Customization manual and might be as simple as copying 
the standard article.layout. With a layout in place, the import from 
LaTeX should do a better job.

The .bst file has to be found by *bibtex*, so .lyx/layouts isn't a 
particularly good choice (unless you additionally tell bibtex to look 
there). The document directory, as suggested by Csikos, works just fine.

Thanks again, Csikos.

I do not quite understand

document>bibliography

there are only 3 citation styles:

default (numerical)

Natbib with style Author-year and numerical

and

Jurabib

How would I modify Natbib with something else besides Author-year (eg
round, comma)? In the preamble, and would this overwrite the
bibliography setting? (eg with your \setcitestyle{comma,aysep={}}?

Why is default only numerical? What if I want Kluwer style or something
else? I can't leave everything unchecked in Bibliography, I have to
check one.



The file kluwer.bst is used with harvard.sty or natbib.sty. If you watn 
to use harvard.sty, select the "default" bibliography and put


\usepackage{harvard}

in your document preamble. If you want to use natbib.sty instead 
(recommended), select the "natbib author-year" setting. If you need 
additional customization of natbib options, do it in the document 
preamble as Csikos explained.


kluwer.bst supports full author citation, so you're good to use it with 
all the natbib features.

Hi,

You are using the bibliography style "plain", which is intended for use 
with the default (and limited) citation capabilities of LaTeX; for full 
natbib support you should use "plainnat" (or any other "...nat" 
variant). This is changed in the settings for the BibTeX bibliography inset.

Actually, I just use \usepackage{psfrag} directly (\usepackage{pstool}
isn't necessary for pdf output via ps2pdf). The psfrag code that I refer to
is the content of the .tex file generated by matlabfrag alongside the .eps
file. I would be copy-pasting the content of the .tex file into an ERT, but
you could also input the .tex file via "Insert>File>Child Doc". What this
accomplishes corresponds to what is described at the beginning of section
4.2 of the matlabfrag userguide.pdf manual. If you need to use pdflatex,
you'll need the \usepackage{pstool} instead, but then I don't know how to
help you!

Hope this helps a bit more,

Y.A.,

LyX creates a user directory for you, where it stores your preferences
and other "local" files. On my Windows 7 partition, the user directory
is C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.0. If you have trouble finding it,
Help > About LyX should point you to it.

In that directory, there should be a text file named configure.log. (If
not, keep reading, I'll get to that case.) It's generated when the
Python configuration script runs. (This is script is both run at
installation and when you click Tools > Reconfigure in LyX.) In it, you
should see lines like the following:

INFO: checking for a Latex2e program...
INFO: +checking for "latex"...  yes
INFO: checking for a DVI postprocessing program...
INFO: +checking for "pplatex"...  yes

and eventually

INFO: checking for the pdflatex program...
INFO: +checking for "pdflatex"...  yes

If they read "no", it means LyX failed to detect MiKTeX for some reason.
I've seen this happen when the user had Cygwin installed, for instance.
I don't know if it is still true, but Cygwin used to come with a broken
copy of LaTeX, and if Cygwin was in front of MiKTeX on the system
command path, LyX would test the Cygwin version of latex.exe and
conclude that there was no working LaTeX compiler on the system.

If the log shows that LyX found MiKTeX ('yes' responses), go back to a
DOS prompt and run 'kpsewhich article.cls' (if the article class is
"missing" according to LyX) and make sure that MiKTeX finds it. If that
looks correct, or if the log file is missing, then I suggest you cd to
your LyX user directory and run the configuration script in a DOS
window. The command line will look something like the following
(allowing for the possibility that your installation path is different):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX20\Python\python.exe" "C:\Program Files
(x86)\LyX20\Resources\configure.py"

See if any error messages appear.

Is the MiKTeX bin directory on your system path? Can you run "latex

If yes, take a look at the log generated by the installer (should be

You might want to publish the log to the list.

I am trying to write an AGU journal article using the AGU document class in 
LyX, a front-end to MacTex.  I have been able to generate a good looking

to include the Abstract.  I have determined the problem is that the AGU

/begin{article}

Similarly, a /end{article} is needed at the end of the document, just before 
the /end{document}.

I can of course write in LyX and then ultimately export to *.tex in the end, 
add the lines, recompile, and submit the manuscript, but is there a better way 
to fix this?  For example, can I edit a Layout file or similar to have these 
things done automatically so that the Abstract will show up from a compilation

A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.

\usepackage[hang,flushmargin]{footmisc}\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[font={small,it}]{caption}\usepackage{subcaption}\author{John
the Toucanite}

My LaTeX preamble is
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[margin = 4.0 cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[hang,flushmargin]{footmisc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[font={small,it}]{caption}

I tried pasting the LaTeX preamble into LyX and removed
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[margin = 4.0 cm]{geometry}
since they were giving me conflicts.

I still get the same error.







Indeed, \begin{subfigure}[h]{0.5\textwidth} isn't parsed correctly by 
tex2lyx: It is put into ERT except that [h] ends up outside of ERT. On 
LaTeX output, LyX tries to protect the square brackets by outputting 
{[}h{]}, but this is incorrect LaTeX.


Just checked and this bug is also in the development version LyX 2.1

That's just me writing this layout snippet from memory. The correct

Interestingly, if I replace by "false", I get the same effect as if I

this (X being, current LyX 2.1git format).

Just to add a bit more information, if I try this from a Windows command

kpsewhich tells me that TEXMFOUTPUT is set to what I think it is set to:

If I remove the path setting from my test.tex file so I basically have this:


\newwrite\tempfile
\immediate\openout\tempfile=testreq1.tex
\immediate\write\tempfile{Some text}
\immediate\closeout\tempfile

\input{C:/docs/testreq1.tex}


and set the -output-directory command line option to pdflatex:


pdflatex -output-directory C:\docs test.tex


It all works, so I know that I can write files to that directory.  (Setting
the -output-directory like this though with LyX has the downside that LyX
then can't find the output PDF file as it isn't in the temp directory that
it expects.)

Also to note, it also works if I set -output-directory to %TEXMFOUTPUT%.

So, any clues as to why this doesn't work when just relying on the
TEXMFOUTPUT variable, without setting -output-directory?

Thanks and regards,

I think you need to set openout_any accordingly. In any case, first make 
sure this works with latex from the command line, only then should you 
try to do the same from within LyX.

Actually, maybe LyX should just have an option to keep processing even 
in case of errors, as is possible with many LaTeX editors or by 
compiling yourself.



Here is the latex generated preamble : http://sprunge.us/eHWi


In the tex source code I 've seen that : Lyx automatically inserts this

\DeclareTextSymbol{\~}{LGR}{126}

\providecommand{\name}{}
\floatname{}{\protect\name}




Can you please provide a minimal LyX file and the custom layout file you 
are using? Obviously, LyX shouldn't be outputting these empty float 
definitions.



If I compile by exporting to tex  and doing :   pdflatex
monografia-parcial18.tex  it will give the same errors that are reported
in Lyx.

If I remove this codes in the tex file and compile it , there won't be
any errors reported and any issues.

If I don't remove this trouble code and export to Tex  and do:  pdflatex
  .tex   and hit CR every time and do all others steps like
bibitex,  makeindex and forcing the compilation. It will build the
  target pdf file as expected. That is what the makefile does.

I believe that another benefit of Makefile is more control  and make
more easier to find the errors by viewing the error log file and all the
compilation process.  In addition the user can add more automation like
version control , send to remote repository ...  The makefile is one the
best Unix tools.

I hope this Makefile be useful to someone.

AFAIK, LyX does not copy the .eps and .tex psfrag files to the temporary

decided to reference the files under figures/ directly with absolute
paths to the source dir. This does work via "openout_any = a" in
texmf.cnf but then compiling foreign documents does not feel secure
anymore...

I read the LyX "Customization" manual under 'Copier' for a better
solution, but could not find a reference to the LyX temporary directory
and have no clue how to best solve this in terms of LyX policy.

The way I use psfrag is to insert the .eps into LyX using the standard

document. This way, LyX handles the copying of the .eps file correctly. 
You obviously need the correct \usepackage line added to your preamble

It seemed that lyx wouldn't pick up the install if lilypond wasn't in
/usr/bin, and I couldn't figure out how to get lilypond to install into
/usr/bin/ (that is, without creating a subdirectory /lilypond), so I copied
the lilypond-book into /usr/bin.

  Here is a minimum (I think) .lyx file:

Thanks,

Your file compiles fine here using xelatex and the pdf has only one 
staff line, i.e. no line break. Did you modify or perhaps define the 
converter yourself? I have this for converter from "LilyPond book 
(LaTeX)" to "PDF (XeTeX)":


python "C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-book.py" 
--verbose --pdf --latex-program=xelatex --lily-output-dir=ly-pdf -I $$r $$i


I'm using a slightly older version of lilypond, 2.15.40, on Win7, so 
it's possible that something has changed between versions or that the 
behavior is different between OSes.

Works perfectly here, see attached pdf (I removed the \newline to fit
everything on one page). \makeenmark is defined when loading
\usepackage{endnotes}---if it's missing, I can think only of a
mismatch in package version---but \makeenmark is mentioned in the
endnotes documentation, in the changelog entry for 12 January 2003!

Good luck figuring this out!

The bug is different, it looks like you didn't set up the path.


Therefore Lilypond does not work with LyX on Windows.

I got it working with lilypond 2.15.40 on windows 7. The instant 
previews in the LyX window do not work, but the pdf output works (and is 
very nice!). I remember for sure that I had to set up the PATH, but I 
cannot remember if more needed to be done. I'll try again with 2.16.2 if 
I can find the time. So it does not work out-of-the-box, and it has 
glitches, but I know that lilypond with LyX on windows does work.

Re: Conversion of pictures: which path is taken?

[Julien Rioux]

On 21/01/2013 8:31 AM, Rainer M Krug wrote:

Hi

I am using plantuml to create uml charts in a document, defined formats
and converters and it works nicely. Plantuml has different output
formats, among others png, eps and svg.

I have converters from eps to pdf (epstopdf) and from svg to pdf
(rsvg-convert).

Both these go through to steps:

 |-> .eps -> .pdf(pstopdf)
..plantuml ->|
 |-> .svg -> .pdf(pstopdf)

Now LyX chooses to go via .svg, which, based on the internals of
plantuml, does not make much sense. I can obviously delete the
conversion plantuml -> svg, and LyX will go the other way, but then the
preview in LyX is of much worse quality (no idea why).

So why does LyX choose to go via svg?


Because it uses .svg in the editor view if possible, otherwise .png or 
something else.



Is there a way to trick it into going via eps?



Given two paths, LyX will choose a path that only goes through vector 
formats if possible, and the shortest path. Given that both your paths 
are equivalent based on these two points, I am not sure what breaks the 
tie in the end. You can probably trick LyX by marking .svg as a 
non-vector format.

Apparently, (la)tex wasn't designed with left- and right-column line

Odd that the "undefined color" is in all caps. Is LyX exporting this wrong?

I think we can only answer this with a test file that causes the problem.

The headers from that document class must be all caps. A similar error 
happened with changes in section titles with the revtex document class, 
which use all caps section titles. For some reason latex thinks that it 
should also capitalize the color names. A workaround is to also define 
the colors with capitalized names! c.f. http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/4625

IT WORKED

My question:
why was vancouver2etal in bibliography style>default style not recognized?
I did a reconfigure before.

Wolfgang



This is new in LyX 2.1:
For the Default style defined in document settings to be used, the style 
in the "BibTeX-generated bibliography" dialog must be set to "default". 
Note that this isn't completely ironed out, but the intention behind 
this document-wide setting is for citation engine that define the style 
in the preamble, e.g. biblatex.


For now, I would recommend to use the LyX 2.0 way:
Just set the bibliography style you want from the "BibTeX-generated 
bibliography" dialog.

LyX will detect lilypond if you set the PATH in LyX and reconfigure,

Re: Regenerating Lilypond files

Yeah, I actually tried things like this.  It doesn't seem to work.  Even if you actually modify the 
file and then change it back, LyX still "knows" that the file hasn't "changed."

So, I don't think whatever decision LyX is making is based on the modification 
timestamp.  That would seem to be the easiest way to implement something like 
this, but LyX seems to use other criteria... anyone know what those criteria 
are?



It is actually lilypond-book making those decisions, not LyX, and the 
decision is based generating a hash from the lilypond code fragments. 
That lilypond-book does not recognize when you modify an included file 
is a bug that should be reported to the LilyPond project.



Or, better yet, a way to just tell LyX to re-run Lilypond for all inset files?



Close and reopen the LyX file. LyX will now work from a fresh temporary 
directory for compilation, and lilypond-book will need to recompile 
every lilypond code fragment.

Never mind, I found it. The log below is from the example file lilypond.lyx.

I pasted the log here since gmane didn't allow me to post it.
http://pastebin.com/JVzHBixa




So lilypond-book complains that a -systems.count file is missing. This 
is either a bug in lilypond (it should generate the -systems.count file 
always) or in lilypond-book (it should know that -systems.count files 
are not always generated). In any case in should probably be 
investigated with the smallest possible example and reported to the 
lilypond project.


In the meantime you may try to get around the bug by adding the

You could make your own customized version of the lilypond.module file. 
See Help > Customization, especially read about LatexParam under Section 
5.3.9 Flex insets and InsetLayout. So basically copying lilypond.module 
to your user directory (usually under ~/.lyx/layouts/) and adding the line

LatexParam "staffsize=16"
in the relevant place.

Ok, one moment it worked fine and the other I get this notice that the

Then I tried to just use my laptop instead where I had lilypond 2.15.35 already
installed and it worked perfectly fine the last time I worked with it but now
the same error.
Exporting the lytex and running lilypond-book manually works fine.
I then ran gksu lyx from terminal and suddenly the error didn't appear.
Unfortunately this was only true for the lilypond.lyx example file. With gksu
lyx couldn't find the installed linux libertine font anymore which I am using
for my document. Also lyx looks different with gksu so no idea what's going on
there.
In the lyx-output the only thing hinting for the error is this line:

Re: LyX on Windows with UNC home directories

[Julien Rioux]

On 21/03/2012 11:10 AM, Matthias Hunstig wrote:

Dear LyX users and developers,

LyX has a problem with Windows users that have their home directory on a UNC 
path. http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Troubleshooting mentions these problems for Lyx 
1.5 already. (Recent versions do start, but have no classes available.)

I have been struggling with this for a long time. The workaround described in 
the link (saving some steps by running configure.py directly from the 
AppData\Lyx2.0 folder) worked for me on Windows XP.

Now, on Windows 7, it does not work anymore. Today, I have done some 
experiments but unfortunately not found a solution yet.
What I have found out is that

-  Under local users, LyX states "~\AppData\Roaming\Lyx2.0" as the user 
directory. I have not seen the tilde on Windows before, but it works.

-  Under network users, it states 
"\\server\user\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\LyX2.0"
 as the user directory.

-  Running reconfigure from LyX as the network user gives some messages 
in the status line that can be traced back to the fact that cmd.exe does not 
accept UNC folders.

Is there any way to reliably make LyX run as a user with a UNC home directory? 
Could it help to just give LyX a different user directory to work in? If so, 
how can that be done?

I think this issue really needs to be fixed soon - People with home directories 
on serves are not uncommon and LyX is practically unusable for them.

When I paste a picture in LyX (from the clipboard), it shows a dialog

This is OK and very useful, but if the picture has transparency (eg. a PNG
image with transparent background), all the transparency turns black.

The interesting part is that, if I save the picture somewhere else (without
using LyX), and then load the picture as usual on the document, this
problem doesn't occur. That is, all the transparency is handled as expected.

Is this a bug? Or is there a way to workaround this?

You don't have to use the bundled installer for updates. This makes for

The bundle does not include cygwin. There exists a version of LyX

Try compiling without adding anything to the preamble. To note simply

obviously installed, and it consists of the style files "fixmath", 
"gensymb", etc. as you have observed. One of these must be needed by the

that file in order to get it to compile. (if you do get compile errors,

It's good that you narrowed it down to just the table of content. If you

Re: Table numbering problem

Hi all.

I have a problem numbering tables. I have a table nested into another, and
both are inside a figure.

When I take a look at the figures inside LyX, they are all ok. But when I
export to DVI or PDF, the figures are counting in +2 increments. The first
figure is 2, the second is 4... I tried to replicate my problem in a simple
file and works OK even in exported files, but when I try my code in another
document, I'm still having this problem.

Can anyone help me?

The tableTest is created from scratch and numbering works OK, but the other
file (realProblem) is copied from my code and it's buggy. Can you help me,
please?

I'm sorry about my english :/

Thanks in advance.

Emilio.



Quick question: why would you nest tables within figures?

Re: strange error in Lyx

Hallo,

I got a strange error after running LyX
and trying to export it as pdflatex:
pdfTeX error (ext4): \pdendflink ended up in different nesting level than \pd

which I traced to

Lichtflüssen zwischen 0.5
   und 75\thinspace\mathrm{\mu mol/m^{2}/s}
   (siehe Abbildung [fig:Licht-Sharma]). Bei Flüssen bis zu
20\mathrm{\thinspace\mu mol/m^{2}/s}
   änderte sich die Periode nicht

If I take the
20\mathrm{\thinspace\mu mol/m^{2}/s}
out, the error is gone and the pdf output works.

Now if I copy

75\thinspace\mathrm{\mu mol/m^{2}/s}

to the place of
  20\mathrm{\thinspace\mu mol/m^{2}/s}
(replacing it)

I get again the error meaning that it is not the sequence
\thinspace\mathrm
respectively
\mathrm{\thinspace

which caused the error


The strangest finding is, if I put the
Bibtex generated Bibliography
mark at the end of my Koma book (twosided, twocolumn)
in a lyx note thus commenting it out the error vanishs.

This was in fact the way I started the search for the error, because I
thought removing the Bibliography entrance is a fast and effective way to
find out whether a reference is causing the problem.

In the meantime I have experimented a bit more stripping my document to a
few lines and it seems that the upgreek is causing the trouble.
--->
Package upgreek Info: Using Euler Roman for upright Greek on input line 31.
\symugrf@m=\mathgroup6
LaTeX Font Info:Overwriting symbol font `ugrf@m' in version `bold'
(Font)  U/eur/m/n -->  U/eur/b/n on input line 38.
)

but why does the erro occur only if I use the math expression twice?

I don't know but you have \mu inside of \mathrm, maybe this is the issue?
