Re: Is it possible to control references format?
I think you want to insert cross-references with the Format: box set to
"formatted reference". See section 6.1 of the User Guide for details.

First, thanks for your hint.
If I get it right, your suggestion is to use the refstyle package (which
is what is done using "formatted reference") and define a custom
refstyle.cfg in order to get the desired result.
To obtain this, I should pass the noconfig option to refstyle.
Now, if I insert it in the field
Document -> Settings -> Document class -> Custom
it is not passed to refstyle.
If I insert manually in the preamble
\usepackage[noconfig]{refstyle}
I get an error.
So, how do I pass the noconfig options to refstyle?
BTW: I don't know why, but in my case refstyle is not localized.

Is it possible to control references format?
Hi all, I am wondering if it is possible to control the format of references inside a document from the document settings. I mean: I would like to have all references to equations (that is, label of the form eq:* ) formatted as (.), references to thm:* formatted as [.] and all others simply as a number. This should be defined somewhere inside the document settings. From the searches I made, I concluded that this is not possible: I must check every single reference and include manually the desired delimiters. Am I wrong? TIA Fabio
Re: How to source my own definitions?
I just put my math macros in mydefs.lyx and then include that file as a child document, outside a comment, right at the beginning of the main body. Is there some reason that does not work for you? Well, in fact it works and it is what I wanted: I simply couldn't find the right menu path :( Thank you Fabio
Re: How to source my own definitions?
Ok, I found by myself the solution: in addition to \input{mydefs} insert
in a comment a lyx file mydefs.lyx with the definitions.
Not exactly what I wanted, but it works and I guess it can't be done
better, since this is what can be found lyx wiki.
Sorry for asking.

How to source my own definitions?
Hi all,
I have a set of math macros defined with the math-macro command.
I would like to save them on a separate file so that I don't have to
cut&paste them in every new file.
I saved them in a file, mydefs.tex. It contains things like
\global\long\def\rk{\operatorname{rk}}
and so on.
I \input{mydefs} in the preamble and they are correctly sourced: the only
problem is that I lose the visual rendering in the lyx document that I
defined with the math-macro command.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks
Fabio
Re: ubuntu 13.10 - changing language causes error
As a user what I observerd was that after ubuntu was updated lyx stopped working, that is a fact. I think we all agree that shouldn't happen, so it would be good to find the cause and make sure it doesn't happen in future upgrades. ... That should be the principle, but my experience is that if an upgrade is flawlessly successfull then you have been very lucky and I think that looking for upgrade bugs (which can be specific to that particular upgrade) can be both difficult and a waste of time for developers. What I do (and I suggest) is the following: partition your disk so to have two linux-dedicated partitions, say 1 and 2, and let's say you have a working linux on 1. When you want to install a new linux distribution (not necessarly ubuntu) then install it on 2 and just play with it configuring everything for your needs. When it looks stable to you, move your personal data (your home) on the new partition and don't use 1 any longer. This way, 1 will be available for the next installation. Two objections can be made to this schema: 1) there is a waste of disk space 2) it looks like a waste of time, since you have to set up everything again. What I can say is that: 1) disk space is cheap nowadays: if you store space hungry data (videos, pictures and music) on a separate partition to be mounted separately, 50Gb is more than enough for the system. Moreover, you can think of it as a backup: you still have your good old working system with your home, since you don't touch it. 2) this is true only if the upgrade is smooth. Otherwise, it is probably true the contrary. Moreover,if you pass from one ubuntu to another and you keep track of what you had to do to have a system which fits your needs, very likely the next time it will be much faster (and nearly as fast as a smooth upgrade). Regards Fabio
Re: Shortcuts for \ldots
I would like to have a shortcut for \ldots. My preferred would be three dots, that is \bind "period period period" "math-insert \\ldots" but it doesn't work: what am I missing? You now that \ldots (in text mode, though) is bound to Alt-period by default? Yes, I know, but I hardly use it in text mode, if ever, whereas I use it quite often in math mode: so I have unbound it and I made the shortcuts \bind "M-comma M-comma M-comma" "math-insert ,\\ldots," \bind "M-period M-period M-period" "math-insert \\cdots" They make my workflow faster, but I can't guess why they don't work without the Alt modifier.

Re: Nested evnironments
It works, but I am wondering there is a "clean" way to obtain the intended result. No, that's the sort of trick you have to use. Unless you set "KeepEmpty" to 1 in your theorem environment, which would allow you not to put the ~. Ok, I see. BTW, I discovered that using an empty red box is a better work around, since the exported latex is clean as I intended. Thanks Fabio
Nested evnironments
Hi,
I have a little problem with nested environments.
I want to enumerate statements in a theorem without any test before the
enumeration, so that the latex should be something like
\begin{thm}
\begin{enumerate}
\item First statement
\item Second statement
\end{enumerate}
\end{thm}
You can guess: when I try to insert the enumerate environment, the theorem
enviroment disappear.
I can work around this inserting a forced space (Ctrl+Space), then I
insert the enumerate environment, then I nest it inside the theorem
environment.
The resulting latex looks like
\begin{thm}
~
\begin{enumerate}
\item First statement
\item Second statement
\end{enumerate}
\end{thm}
It works, but I am wondering there is a "clean" way to obtain the intended
result.
Thanks
Fabio
Re: Reverse search with xdvi
direct search: Tools->Preferences->Output->General xdvi -nofork -sourceposition "$$n $$t" $$o -editor "lyxeditor.sh %f %l" "-nofork" part is needed because of the pipe? I guess: the point is that without -nofork if you have xdvi already open, lyx starts a new instance every time you execute direct search. I also addedd the -editor option. Have you really tried without nofork option? I just tried the standard call xdvi -sourceposition 445:example.tex example.dvi and no new instance was opened, instead it correctly jumped in already existing viewer. Yes, I really tried both and it was like I described. I am sure: I clearly remember having two open instances of xdvi. But now I tried again and it works correctly even without the nofork options. I can't understand what is happening! I am puzzled. :( F.
Re: Reverse search with xdvi
If you can comment what and why was changed I can include it into docs as well. ok. xdvi: inverse search: Tools->Preferences->File Handling->File formats xdvi -editor "lyxeditor.sh %f %l" In the docs: xdvi -editor 'lyxeditor.sh %f %l' With single quotes it doesn't work (at least, for me) direct search: Tools->Preferences->Output->General xdvi -nofork -sourceposition "$$n $$t" $$o -editor "lyxeditor.sh %f %l" "-nofork" part is needed because of the pipe? I guess: the point is that without -nofork if you have xdvi already open, lyx starts a new instance every time you execute direct search. I also addedd the -editor option. okular: inverse search: Tools->Preferences->File Handling->File formats okular --unique I'm not using okular, --unique should be default for inverse search purposes? The default just says "okular" and the same in the following: I don't know wether it adds any option or not, but to have the correct behaviour without multiple instances of okular I had to specify these by hand. direct search: Tools->Preferences->Output->General okular --unique "$$o#src:$$n $$f" Pavel Thanks Fabio
