Adding authblk support to article layout
Hello, I have written a simple layout that adds support for the authblk package to the basic article layout. Is there a way to submit it to the LyX community? Logan Kelly
Re: Cannot edit LaTeX child document in LyX 2.1
To see more descriptive error messages enable debug output for Files used by LyX. To do so you have to: 1. Enable the message pane - go to the View menu and select Messages Pane 2. There you'll see the log window. At the right you select the Settings Tab. 3. Choose the Selected option at the left and then Files used by LyX at the right. 4. Go back to Output tab to watch the log messages while working with LyX. Stephan Hi Stephan, Thanks for your suggestion. I did as you said and Files used by LyX are now set to Yes for debug messages. However, the message it is showing in the Output pane gives no further detail than the pop-up box! (Auto-edit file file path failed (time stamp) Automatic save done. Error: Cannot edit file) Any further help is welcome. thanks, Kelly

Using external or custom .bst files with LyX
I am trying to use ejbib.bst that was provided to me by the Economic Journal. I couldn't get it to work so I created a custom file using makebst, which I called econjournal.bst. I ran the dbj file to create the .bst and copied the .bst into user/appdata/roaming/miktek/2.9/bibtex/bst/ in its own folder, which is how all my other .bst files are. I think LyX can access it okay, since econjounal now shows up in my list of bib style options. I have the settings set to natbib authoryear, and when I'm using plainnat style, everything works. When I switch to econjournal style, I just get ? where the citations should be and no reference list. This is the same problem I have when I try to use ejbib.bst (which is in a similar file location). I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong with file locations or a master .mbs file, or something, but I don't know what. Please help!

Ah, fantastic - Lyx 2.0.2 seems to have fixed the problem I was having with epstopdf. Many thanks! Jack
Re: Cannot get epstopdf to work in Lyx 2.0.1
Bother, sorry, please ignore my last message. It turns out that Lyx 2.0.2 does *not* fix the epstopdf problem, sorry. When I wrote my previous email, I had forgotten to delete the -eps-converted-to.pdf files. Now that I have deleted the temporary -eps-converted-to.pdf files, Lyx fails to correctly instruct epstopdf to convert my eps files to pdf, ready for pdflatex to process.

Re: Cannot get epstopdf to work in Lyx 2.0.1
Hi Richard, Many thanks for the quick reply. Sorry, I should have mentioned that I already read the release notes for 2.0.1. Like you, I suspect the problem with using epstopdf is related to the \input@path change in 2.0.1. Unfortunately, I can't see a solution (or a hint to a solution) within the release notes. I have tried setting TEXINPUT to both . and to the absolute path of my image file but neither of these changes solved the issue. Please may I ask if you have any other suggestions? If not, should I report this as a bug? Many thanks, Jack

Cannot get epstopdf to work in Lyx 2.0.1
Dear Lyx Users,
I need to include lots of .eps graphics files in my Lyx document.
These .eps files are produced by GNUplot using the epslatex terminal
driver which produces a .tex files and a .eps file for each graph.
In Lyx 2.0.0, including my graphs was as simple as putting
\input{graph.tex}
in ERT. Behind the scenes, this would invoke an instance of epstopdf
to convert each .eps file to a .pdf file. This worked fine in Lyx
2.0.0.
This no longer works in Lyx 2.0.1. The problem is that epstopdf is
being run in a temp directory (e.g.
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.T13883/lyx_tmpbuf2) but epstopdf is not given a way
to locate the .eps file. The Lyx log file reports that epstopdf is
being called like this:
runsystem(epstopdf --outfile=graph-eps-converted-to.pdf graph.eps)
As you can see, epstopdf has no way of finding where graph.eps lives.
I have tried setting \graphicspath{{/path/to/eps/file/}} in my
document preamble but this did nothing. I tried providing my graphics
directory in Lyx's Working directory, Temporary directory, PATH
and TEXINPUTS prefix Paths fields but this did not help.
The only fix I have found so far is to open each .tex file (e.g.
graph.tex) in a text editor and manually edit the
\put(0,0){\includegraphics[width=\unitlength]{graph.eps}} line to
include the absolute path of the .eps file. This is not a
satisfactory solution for many reasons.
I'd really love it if someone could suggest a solution!
Many thanks,
Jack

Re: csv import causes python error
So, when you are in /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS in the terminal use this command: ./lyx (that's a period followed by a slash followed by the name of the executable) *facepalm* I always forget that. Command line working fine now, and I was able to diagnose the csv import issue. The problem was due to the carriage returns in the .csv file (which was exported from Excel, and therefore had carriage returns rather than newlines at the end of each row). Replaced the \r's with \n's, and now the import seems to work fine. The error message (below, seen trying to import the uncorrected file) seems to indicate that there would be a way to open the file such that the \r would be interpreted as newline when running csv2lyx.py. For future reference, is there a way to force this mode in Lyx when importing csv's, or is replacing all \r's the better option? The error message: $ lyx -i csv manualParameters.csv Traceback (most recent call last): File /Applications/Lyx.app/Contents/Resources/scripts/csv2lyx.py, line 164, in module for row in reader: _csv.Error: new-line character seen in unquoted field - do you need to open the file in universal-newline mode?

So, when you are in /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS in the terminal use this command: ./lyx (that's a period followed by a slash followed by the name of the executable) *facepalm* I always forget that. Command line working fine now, and I was able to diagnose the csv import issue. The problem was due to the carriage returns in the .csv file (which was exported from Excel, and therefore had carriage returns rather than newlines at the end of each row). Replaced the \r's with \n's, and now the import seems to work fine. The error message (below, seen trying to import the uncorrected file) seems to indicate that there would be a way to open the file such that the \r would be interpreted as newline when running csv2lyx.py. For future reference, is there a way to force this mode in Lyx when importing csv's, or is replacing all \r's the better option? The error message: $ lyx -i csv manualParameters.csv Traceback (most recent call last): File /Applications/Lyx.app/Contents/Resources/scripts/csv2lyx.py, line 164, in module for row in reader: _csv.Error: new-line character seen in unquoted field - do you need to open the file in universal-newline mode? Error: Cannot convert file An error occurred whilst running python -tt '/Applications/Lyx.app/Contents/Resourc Thanks again, Kelly

csv import causes python error
Hi all, I very recently started using Lyx, and I'm having some trouble importing .csv files as tables. I'm running Lyx 1.6.8 on a Mac OS X 10.5.8 system. When I attempt to to import a table (via File Import CSV (Table)...), I receive the following error: An error occurred whilst running python -tt '/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resourc I searched the archive, and it seems this error occurred in older Windows versions of Lyx due to a missing csv.py script. I don't see this particular script in my own [lyxlibrary]/scripts folder, but I wan't sure if it was still necessary in the most recent Lyx release. Thanks for any suggestions regarding this error. -Kelly

Headings on rotated table
If a table (within a table float) is rotated 90 degrees is there an easy way of moving the table caption to the top of the table.

ps - eps lyx and bounding boxes
Dear all, I thought i might add a little to the ps eps thread that is running. I have been including epsi figure in my lyx documents that were created from postscript files by ps2epsi. This mostly seems to work fine. However for some of my figures the bounding box calculated by ps2epsi must be slightly too small as the right edge or top is truncated. Today I realized that include graphics works for these ps figures and that manually setting the bounding box on these works fine (with clip to bounding box checked). The only drawback is that pdflatex prints empty space where these figures should be and i have to use ps2pdf Matt

If i try and make another cell into multicoumn (r12,c7:c8) lyx seems to co into a loop. Yet is seem to be able to make any other combination of cell multi-column seems to work although i have not tried all other combinations. Lyx and operating systems details redhat 7.3 Lyx 1.2.1 xforms-0.88-4 Rather then attach the file and send it to everyone including those who are not interested i can either email it personally or it there is a link to it (Problem Table) at http://www-personal.une.edu.au/~mkelly5/ Note (The problem cell has the following in it cov(Ai,Aj)t+cov(Ai,Aj) ) Thanks in advance for you help or suggestion Matt ---End Message---

installing lyx-1.2.1-1 on RedHat 7.3
Dear all, I hope this helps any redhat users out there. I eventually managed to get lyx 1.2.1 running on redhat 7.3. I am definitely not an expert on linux, redhat ect so if there is anything wrong or dangerous with the following suggestions please point them out before i cause major damage to others. I tried to rebuild lyx using the the source file as suggested (rpm --rebuild lyx-1.2.1-1.src.rpm) i recieved an error related in to xforms. I then uninstalled xforms-0.89-5 and replaced it with xforms-0.88-4 Then i tried installing lyx-1.2.1-1.rpm and rebiulding from lyx-1.2.1-1.src.rpm, this still would not work (libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 was now the problem) However the good news is that recompiling the source code (generated during rpm --rebuild lyx-1.2.1-1.src.rpm) using ./configure and ./make worked once xforms-0.88-4 was installed Matty On Fri, 2002-09-27 at 10:05, Rich Shepard wrote: On 27 Sep 2002, Matthew Kelly wrote: xforms_helpers.h:17:26: forms.h: No such file or directory Matty, Do you have the xforms package installed?

Thanks very much, Dekel. I'm using lyx 1.1.4fix3 at the

which will give me the latest version as of Mandrake 8.1.

A new screenplay class
Hi, I'm interested in using lyx for screenplays, but the existing class (Hollywood) is not suitable. I deleted some parts of the class that didn't work as expected (FADE IN/FADE OUT and the title page). That left me with two problems remaining... The speaker name and following dialogue (or parenthetical) should not be separated by so much space: KEN It should be like this... KEN Instead of like this. The other problem is with the header: what it's like now is a page number terminated in a period, with a horizontal line separating the header from the body of the text. What I need is a simple page number (preferably in the same typeface as the text) with no period or separating line. Could I just skip fancyhdr and put a page number to the upper right corner? One last thing: it would be nice to be able to associate uppercase with certain screen elements; that is, for the INT. and EXT., transitions, and speaker name to fold automatically to uppercase. Is this just wishful thinking? Thanks for your time...

Installation failure under SuSE 6.4
Hi,
Trying to install lyx 1.1.5 under SuSE 6.4 (with C++ installed) I am having
./configure fail with the message "Unable to find a working C++ compiler"
What changes do I need to make so that lyx can find crtbegin.o, cc1plus etc.
The relevant bit of config.log is below.
thanks,
Morgan
