LyX v2.4.0 RC4 -> Table styles??
I've read large portions of the documentation, and am eager to try the Table style facility of LyX v2.4.0. I'm on Windows 11, and play with RC4. When I do Insert/Table…, this is what I get. [cid:image001.png@01DA9106.80E67870] In the Style menu, “Default” is the only possible option. If I click on the [cid:image002.png@01DA9106.80E67870] icon, the only possibility is to choose the table size. If I insert the table and right-click on it, everything related to other styles than the default is grayed out: [cid:image003.png@01DA9106.B1A0AEE0] * I’m confused.

The script that you call can run any code using the gnuplot "system" call. That is the same as having access to a shell...

LyX v2.4 RC4 - keyboard shortcut
I just discovered the “character” shortcuts Alt + C…, e.g., Alt + C R for mathroman in math. * I’m a touch typist, so I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts over menus * I’m not a pianist, so I don’t have extremely independent movement of fingers * Because the “Alt” key is on the lefthand side of the keyboard and the “C” key also is on the lefthand side, this makes it very awkward to hold down the Alt key and at the same time hold down the C key. * This difficulty is increased by that the Alt key should be hit with the *middle finger* (which must be bent in an awkward way to hit the Alt key). The problem is much less pronounced with the Ctrl key, which is hit with the pinkie. Probably not a popular suggestion, but it would be much simpler to use Alt with a key on the righthand side of the keyboard, e.g., replacing Alt+C with Alt+K. -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
RE: LyX v2.4.0 RC4 -> Unicode in Program Listing (again...)
OK… I just found I had put the “-shell-escape” string in the wrong cell…
I have now changed the preferences, and inserted this string in both of the
XeTeX and LuaTeX converters from LaTeX to PDF.
Now, I get the (expected) warning that using the “-shell-escape” string is
*dangerous*.
Question 1:
* Dangerous, because LyX is more likely to *crash*, or
* Dangerous, because it opens up my computer to hacking??
Experience – here is some listing in LyX:
[cid:image003.png@01DA90D8.A23B6C70]
This expression is taken from a Jupyter Notebook running in VSCode (language:
Julia), where the symbols are created by “\frakm + TAB \dot + TAB = m\dot + TAB
v”
…and here is what it looks like when I use XeTeX/LuaTeX:
[cid:image004.png@01DA90D8.F0F27C50]
Questions 2:
* Could I expect a better response if I install a font that supports
Unicode, and specifies this font in the fonts scheme of Listings?
* If I install such a font with Unicode support (e.g., JuliaMono), would
that rule out using XeTeX so that I should use LuaTeX?
Question 3:
* If I should use LuaTeX, how can I change LyX so that issuing command
Ctrl+r produces the PDF using LuaTeX?

RE: LyX 2.4.0 RC4 - bug? Abstract headline is missing + bits and pieces
A difference - perhaps -- between a missing Abstract label and the Chapter label in *LyX* is that sections headings are quite big compared to the standard text, so it is easy to see the difference. While the abstract text font is only marginally smaller than the standard text font, so it is more difficult to see what it is. *If* one sets "abstract=on" to enforce "Abstract" to be printed in the PDF file, it would perhaps be natural if this text also shows up in LyX. -- Anyways, this is not a major problem -- I can always switch to the standard article style. -- Thanks a lot for your great job with creating v. 2.4.

RE: LyX 2.4.0 & Jupyter Notebooks
Experimenting with LyX 2.4 RC4... Specifically, I'm testing whether there is
Unicode support.
* I have successfully pasted in a Unicode character from VSCode into a LyX
2.4 RC4 document, so this seems to work:
[cid:image001.png@01DA8B60.FFE8A950]
Here, the first symbol is produced in VSCode using "\frakm + TAB", and then
pasted into a LyX text line. The second occurrence (slightly different in
form) is produced as in-line math "\mathfrak{m}".
I can also decorate this symbol with a dot on top, "\frakm + TAB \dot + TAB" in
VSCode. When I paste this symbol into LyX, the dot on top of "\frakm + TAB" is
somewhat skewed to the right.
OK - so Unicode in LyX seems to work. It also works if I preview the document
as a PDF file.
--
Next, I try to use Unicode in listings. That does not work at the moment...
Here is what I do:
* Insert/Program Listing
* I paste the "\frakm + TAB" symbol from VSCode into this box.
* This gives a paste error message:
[cid:image003.png@01DA8B61.C58642D0]
* I then go to Document/Settings/Listings, and change Syntax Highlighting
Package to *minted*, which provides a message:
[cid:image004.png@01DA8B62.5053B550]
I don't understand this message...
* I'm on Windows, and the documentation says that Pygments driver is
installed by default (??). Anyways, reading this warning...
* Where am I supposed to place command "\AtBeginDocument{...}"?? Are we
talking about putting this command in the Document/Settings/LaTeX Preamble
window??? Or should I open the LyX document in an ASCII editor and add the
line... somewhere?
* What is the "driver command", i.e., the string I'm supposed to insert
instead of `driver`? Is it simply `pygmentize`??
* Anyways, for now I just neglect this command, and go to
Tools/Preferences/File Handling/Converters, and scroll down to
[cid:image002.png@01DA8B63.945591F0]
Here I have changed Converter from `pdflatex $$i` to what is shown above.
When I go back to the document and insert a listing, and then paste the Unicode
symbol into the listing, I get the same error message with paste error as shown
at the top of this e-mail.
--
So - I'm stuck. The only possible reason for the problem now are:
* I need to find the correct place to insert the string
"\AtBeginDocument..." string with the correct `driver` (whatever that is), and
live with the warning of mint & `-shell-escape` causing a security risk.
Perhaps this will solve the problem.
* Or: it is not possible to use Unicode characters in LyX 2.4 listings.
Any suggestions?

The most plausible way to do this would be to use an external inset. That's the way that Lilypond files (music) are included, for example. Such insets are user definable. Basically, you tell LyX how to convert the file to something LaTeX can process. This is discussed in section 7.1 of the Embedded Objects manual.

LyX 2.4.0 & Jupyter Notebooks
Is there a way to import Jupyter Notebooks into LyX 2.4.0 (when v. 2.4.0 is released)? I'm particularly interested in the possibility to... * link the notebooks into LyX so that I always get the latest version/computations in the notebook, i.e., preferably not a static import * inclusion of mark-up text with headlines, math, etc. * inclusion of input and output cells, with figures, etc. * linked-in notebooks would be multipage. Perhaps it should be possible to embed the notebooks in some theorem-like environment. OK -- don't know if this is possible, but it would go a long way towards getting a literal programming environment. -B -Original Message- From: lyx-users On Behalf Of Rich Shepard Sent: Monday, April 1, 2024 11:58 PM To: LyX Developers ; lyx-users Subject: Re: LyX 2.4.0 RC4 On Sun, 31 Mar 2024, Richard Kimberly Heck wrote: > What we hope will be the final release candidate for 2.4.0 is now > available > here: > http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.4/ > > Please report bugs to lyx-de...@lists.lyx.org. Riki, Just upgraded from 2.3.7.1 to 2.4.0~RC4 on Slackware64-15.0 on a ThinkPad T430; no bugs seen crawling around. The issues that bugged me in 2.3.6.2 and 2.3.7.1 (not finding biblatex.sty and biber, needing to use the File menu to export a pdflatex because c-x h wouldn't work) are gone. I had a concern about Tools -> Preferences -> Look & Feel -> Display showed Default when I use emacs turned out that (at least on my system) emacs key chords are the default.

LyX 2.3.7 & BibLaTeX?
I'm on LyX 2.3.7, eagerly awaiting the release of 2.4 (whenever that will be). While I'm waiting, I'm starting to use Zotero to manage bibliography files, and had some help from a more IT knowledgeable colleague. He set up Zotero to store bibliography files as BibLaTeX. Some experience: 1. In the past, I have used the AGSM bibliography style file. This style doesn't seem to work with BibLaTeX?? Is there another, similar bibliography style that works with BibLaTeX (i.e., Harvard style, etc.)?? [One change from BibTeX to BibLaTeX seems to be change of field name "year" to field name "date"??) 2. One *bad* (?) experience with Zotero is that it *changed* all the bibliography *label* names. I assume this means that all past LyX/LaTeX documents I have written will show up with *broken* references if I switch to the new *.bib file generated by Zotero. To repeat: my question is: * Is there a BibLaTeX compatible bibliography style file with LyX 2.3.7 that works similarly to how AGSM works? * Or do I have to wait for LyX 2.4 for BibLaTeX compatibility?

RE: Newcommand -- make symbol independent of font size
Thanks. OK -- then I have to switch to luatex... (I use MikTeX -- does that
distribution contain luatex?)
Anyways, I'll defer it to when LyX 2.4 is released. At that stage, I also need
to make sure that I can have Unicode fonts in computer listing.

use lualatex and unicode-math. Write into the preamble
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmainfont{XITS-Regular.otf}
\setmathfont{XITSMath-Regular.otf}
\newcommand\plimsoll{\ensuremath{\scriptscriptstyle\circlehbar}}
then the following will work:

Newcommand -- make symbol independent of font size
I'm trying to define the "plimsoll" symbol (used to indicate thermodynamic
standard condition). I found on the internet the following suggestion:
\newcommand\plimsoll{{\circ\kern-0.495em-}}
Seems like a good number ("0.495" -- I've also tried with "0.415") depends on
the font size... Here is what it looks like in a Section heading (ok with
"0.415"):
[cid:image001.png@01D9C2D1.91829D70]
And here is what it looks like in displayed equation (ugly):
[cid:image002.png@01D9C2D1.91829D70]
* How can I make the definition so that it looks fine in any font size?

Go to Documents->Settings-Modules and see which module you are using. What you are looking for is a module that defines the theorems to be numbered by type, so for example you can select the Theorems (Numbered By Type) module. If you also want the theorems to be conutered within another counter (say section), then there are also modules for that too. To get more information about modules, you can read section 3.1.2.3 LyX's User's Guide, which can be found in Help->User's Guide. There are also a few examples for the usage of modules in different sections.
