sorting of bibliography

2013-02-28 Thread Marco Beishuizen

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can sort the bibliography on last name? Right now 
it sorts on the first name of the author. LyX uses natbib as the format.

Marco

LaTeX classes that include a chapter environment usually format the

This works! When adding this, the footer is shown only on the pages with

Yes the headings style is fancy and I put \rfoot{} in the preamble. But I 
discovered that the footer is not shown on pages with the chapter headers. 
I'm trying to write a contract which has a chapter on almost all pages so

So the question now in my case is how to get the footer on the chapter

how to make sections in bibliography?

2012-02-15 Thread Marco Beishuizen

Hi,

I've tried all day to section my bibliography, but I keep getting errors. 
The "sectioned bibliography" in document settings is checked. Also two 
seperate bibtex databases are created, and added these to the bibliography 
in LyX. When unchecking "sectioned bibliography", the bibliography works 
fine, but then it is not sectioned.


The errors I get are:
Missing $ inserted
Extra }, or forgotten $
Missing } inserted

Do I need to do something else to make sectioned bibliographies work in 
LyX?

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

Also, you may export your problematic file to latex (pdflatex), run 
pdflatex on it from the command line, and see if you get any more 
details in the output.


After a long search I found out that it wasn't the TOC as I thought (well 
maybe indirectly) but the use of a self made bibliography style. I made my 
own .bst with makebst some time ago. It seems that this caused suddenly 
(don't know why) problems with the bibliography and the TOC.


After replacing the style to jurabib in the bibliography and changing the 
citation style (in document settings) to jurabib, the error messages are 
gone. When playing around with the style, similar errors come back so for 
now I'm using jurabib and try to make a .bst as I want it later.

tex4ht on FreeBSD with LyX 1.5.7

Hi,

I'm looking for someone who has experience with exporting lyx documents to 
open document format in FreeBSD. I read that is done by the tex4ht 
package. I'm running LyX 1.5.7 on FreeBSD 7.2-ST, and LyX uses teTeX 3.0.


How do I install tex4ht on my system? The LyX-wiki says that it should 
already been installed but on my system I don't think it is. When I add a 
converter LaTeX (plain) -> OpenDocument with the converter htlatex, LyX 
complains that "an error occurred whilst running htlatex", and does 
nothing. I hope that someone here has an idea how to do this. Perhaps I 
should wait for LyX 1.6 submitted to the ports?

My language settings in LyX are correct.

After a lot of searching I found a website where someone experienced the
same problems I have. The solution described is to edit the language.dat
files (there are two of them), and after that you have to run
"/usr/local/bin/fmtutil --all" to rebuild all the hyphenation files.

The website is:

"language.dat" (and enabled dutch hyphenation), and did a rehash. In LyX I
did a reconfigure. But when I view the DVI output it doesn't hyphenate
correctly. In the Latex log I should see that Babel and hyphenation
patterns are loaded, but it isn't there.

Does anyone know what to do to get hyphenation to work for my language?

Thanks,

Marco

Changing to another language.mbs file in makebst solved this problem. It
generated a .bst file that works.

No need for creating babelbst.tex anymore. Changing language .mbs option
in makebst resulted in a working .bst file.

creating babelbst.tex

2003-02-01 Thread Marco Beishuizen

I created my own .bst file for my reference list. When I try to view the
DVI output, the process stops and the latex log says that I need a
babelbst.tex file. Now I understand that I need to create this file
myself. But how do I do that? There is some information in the end of the
file merlin.mbs, but I have no idea how to create a babelbst.tex.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

Marco

I'll also send the .bst file to your private adress.
My .bst file was generated by makebst the way it is described in
~/texmf/doc/latex/custom-bib/README.389.

I can't find anything like it in my LaTeX log, but I did ran a Texhash
after putting the new .bst file into
/usr/local/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/misc. I also did a reconfigure.

I inserted it by browsing my filesystem and selecting the .bst and .bib
files. LyX removes the extensions afterwards.

The .bib file did work before I tried to make my own .bst file. The .bib
file is unchanged. I'll send my .bib file to your private adress. It's
12K.

citation question marks and no bibtex references

2003-01-30 Thread Marco Beishuizen

Hi,

I tried to make my own .bst file with makebst. But when I try to use this
generated file and view my dvi-output I get question marks for all of my
citation references and no reference list. In LyX itself all looks fine.
My LaTeX log file shows some warnings like:

...
LaTeX Warning: Citation 'author' on page XX undefined on input line XXX
...

And this is probably my problem. But now I have no idea where to look next
to solve this problem.

Does anyone know what I should do?

Thanks,

Marco

lyx-1.2 and accents

2002-06-12 Thread Marco Beishuizen


Hi,

In lyx 1.1.6 I used to create accents by clicking on the bar below and
typing a command (like accent-umlaut). In lyx 1.2 I'm not able to use
the bar to use it as a commandline input anymore.

Does anyone knows how I can get accents in lyx 1.2?

Thanks,

Marco
