Re: child document not working as advertised?

[Florin Oprina]

Thanks. I was under the impression that I don't have to compile the master.
I thought I can compile only the child document and still get the common
macros and settings.

The reason I wanted this is because I have a rather large document and I use
XeTeX, which is _really_ slow. Compiling the entire file takes ages, so I
wanted to split it into smaller chunks.  I guess the solution is to just
copy the preamble into each child document.

Best,
Florin

child document not working as advertised?

[Florin Oprina]

Hi all.
I use Lyx 1.6.2. I created a child document, selected a default master
document and put all my custom commands in the preamble of the master file.
In the master file I included the child document.

Now, if I compile the child document the settings in the master file seem to
be ignored: the custom commands do not work and bibliographic references are
not resolved.

From the LyX wiki:``Render just a child document and LyX will make sure all
macros are defined correctly, even though their real definition is e.g. in
the master document.''

But I can't get LyX to work as advertised. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Re: view PDF doesn't work with a certain mathematical formula

When trying to view the pdf file, lyx suggested to change the encoding to
utf8. I did, and the file compiles just fine.
BTW, I notice that in the endocing drop-down list there are utf8 and UTF8
(not to mention utf8-plain and utf8x). Does anyone know what the differences

Re: citation problem with publication from same author, same year

In the bibtex file, do you have the year filed as 2001a, 2001b? That's not

 This is something I have have often wondered about too. For example, if
 you have a book that was written in 1600 but your copy is a 1976 paperback,
 what do you put for the date?

 The date is supposed to be the publication date. So it depends upon exactly
 what sort of reprinting it is. If it's JUST a reprinting, then the
 original date will usually be appropriate; if it's more than that, then the
 later one. Generally, I tend to look at the copyright date and use that, and
 then you can add a note, as Rich suggested, if that seems appropriate.

 In the case you've mentioned, one would suppose there will have been
 substantial editing and such. So one would put 1976, to identify that
 particular edition.

Re: Reprinted material

True, this seems to be the most honest way. However, if I see the
citation: Darwin (1997), it looks a bit strange, like Darwin's still
alive and publishing . On the othe hand, if I see Darwin (1859), I now
it's The Origin of Species, so I won't even have to look at the
bibliography.

to go with Palatino / Pagella?

 Pagella, the extended version provided by the TeX-Gyre project,

 has (amongst a lot of other additional letters and symbols) also a matching

Re: Reprinted material

[Florin Oprina]

True, this seems to be the most honest way. However, if I see the
citation: Darwin (1997), it looks a bit strange, like Darwin's still
alive and publishing . On the othe hand, if I see Darwin (1859), I now
it's The Origin of Species, so I won't even have to look at the
bibliography.

label and counter in custom layout

[Florin Oprina]

Hi all.
I'm trying to create a custom layout. What I want is a style to
display a counter at the beginning of the paragraph, automatically
incremented. In LyX 1.5.3, I followed the customisation guide and
ended up with:
Counter
Name Mycounter
End
Style My_Style
LatexType   Command
LatexName   emph
LabelType   Counter
LabelCounterMycounter
LabelSepxx
LeftMargin  xx
ParSkip   0.0
ItemSep   0.2
TopSep0.7
BottomSep 0.7
ParSep0.3
Align Block
AlignPossible Block, Left
End

(nevermind the boring \emph{} command, at this stage it is used just
as a placeholder)
This doesn't work as expected, and I don't know what I'm missing. I
was expecting to see a number at the beginning of the line, namely the
value of Mycounter.
Any help is much appreciated.

funny bug in bibliography

[Florin Oprina]

Hi all.
Today I've seen the funniest bug in LyX:
I have a paper which uses natbib for citations. In my bib database, I
have an entry which says:

@ARTICLE{kageyama89,
  author = {Kageyama, Tarō},
  title = {The Place of Morphology in the Grammar: Verb-Verb compounds in {J}apa
nese},
  journal = {Yearbook of Morphology},
  year = {1989},
  volume = {2},
  pages = {73--94}
}
Now, when I try to cite this paper, in LyX I see Kageyama (Yearbook of
Morphology), instead of the expected Kageyama(1989)
If I typeset the paper, the result is just fine, so the problem is
only with what LyX displays in the editor.

I thought there is something wrong with my bib database, but
everything was fine. WTF? And then it hit me: the word Year in the
journal name must be the culprit. Probably LyX interprets it as some
sort of keyword and displays that instead of the real year of
publication.

I played around a bit and my suspicion was confirmed: (i) removing
Year from the journal name produces the correct result, as does (ii)
changing the order between the journal and year fields in the bibfile.

This happens in LyX 1.5.3

Re: funny bug in bibliography

There seems to be an open bug regarding the strange behavior of LyX
with this regard:

file formats

[Florin Oprina]

Hi all!
I'm trying to add a new "file format" in the preferences dialogue.
However, the Add button is greyed out. What am I missing?

Using LyX 1.5.3 on Ubuntu Linux

Thanks in advance.

Thank you. It is confusing!

However, I've just discovered that it is covered in the documentation
(Appendix B of the user guide). My apologies for not RTFMing before.

Best.
