The file spbasic.bst is a plain text file which you can edit with a 
simple editor. You can locate it on the command line using


kpsewhich spbasic.bst

which will give you its path. Make a local copy of spbasic.bst in the 
same folder as your LyX file (I recommend also giving it a different 
name). Open the file and you will find


FUNCTION {bbl.and}
{ and}

followed by many more short functions for edited by, chap, etc. The 
part {bbl.and} defines the name of the function, and should be left as 
is. The part { and} is the return value of the function, which you 
want to change. Simply replace and to und and also translate any of 
the other functions as necessary. Use this translated copy in your LyX file.

Your concern is true only if one saves the modified file under the same 
name as the original and somewhere in the tex tree. Good practice 
dictates that if one modifies a style file, then a different name is 
also given to it, as I did. And one can decide whether to have this new 
style available in the tex tree or to keep it local, since it is 
sufficient to have it saved in the current document's directory.


I can understand that bibtex has deep issues which are only really 
addressed by moving on to a different system, but the concern you raise 
does not appear to me to be one of them.

The above says, if 3 names have already been printed, and the number of 
names remaining to be printed is greater than zero, than print " " and 
"et al" and set the number of remaining names to zero.


Attached is spbasic3.bst, a style file based on spbasic.bst with the

 % This bibliography style file is intended for texts in ENGLISH
 % This is an author-year citation style bibliography. As such, it is
 % non-standard LaTeX, and requires a special package file to function properly.
 % Such a package isnatbib.sty   by Patrick W. Daly
 % The form of the \bibitem entries is
 %   \bibitem[Jones et al.(1990)]{key}...
 %   \bibitem[Jones et al.(1990)Jones, Baker, and Smith]{key}...
 % The essential feature is that the label (the part in brackets) consists
 % of the author names, as they should appear in the citation, with the year
 % in parentheses following. There must be no space before the opening
 % parenthesis!
 % With natbib v5.3, a full list of authors may also follow the year.
 % In natbib.sty, it is possible to define the type of enclosures that is
 % really wanted (brackets or parentheses), but in either case, there must
 % be parentheses in the label.
 % The \cite command functions as follows:
 %   \citet{key} ==>>Jones et al. (1990)
 %   \citet*{key} ==>>   Jones, Baker, and Smith (1990)
 %   \citep{key} ==>>(Jones et al., 1990)
 %   \citep*{key} ==>>   (Jones, Baker, and Smith, 1990)
 %   \citep[chap. 2]{key} ==>>   (Jones et al., 1990, chap. 2)

Wouldn't that change the default for every document using that

limit it to document specific changes. For that, configuring biblatex or
biber or biblatex using biber would be the much more prefered approach.
A philosophy of "don't change more than you need to" is demanded when
using lyx and latex, at least to me. That said, yes. Changing the format
of how bibtex writes out the references in the document would work but
from a technical standpoint, that does far more than just change the
reference output for a single document so would best be avoided.

~Ben



Your concern is true only if one saves the modified file under the same 
name as the original and somewhere in the tex tree. Good practice 
dictates that if one modifies a style file, then a different name is 
also given to it, as I did. And one can decide whether to have this new 
style available in the tex tree or to keep it local, since it is 
sufficient to have it saved in the current document's directory.


I can understand that bibtex has deep issues which are only really 
addressed by moving on to a different system, but the concern you raise 
does not appear to me to be one of them.

Hi,

The bibliography preamble is the content of the macro \bibpreamble. It's 
empty by default, but you can set it using \def\bibpreamble{This text is 
the preamble.} in ERT. Since you are using Koma-Script, you can use 
\setbibpreamble{Text} to achieve the same. Koma-Script additionally 
offers the \BreakBibliography command to insert text fragments (or even 
section titles) between bibliographic entries. See the attached example 
and the Koma-Script documentation (scrguien.pdf) for more.

Julien

Hi,

The bibliography preamble is the content of the macro \bibpreamble. It's 
empty by default, but you can set it using \def\bibpreamble{This text is 
the preamble.} in ERT. Since you are using Koma-Script, you can use 
\setbibpreamble{Text} to achieve the same. Koma-Script additionally 
offers the \BreakBibliography command to insert text fragments (or even 
section titles) between bibliographic entries. See the attached example 
and the Koma-Script documentation (scrguien.pdf) for more.


Cheers,
Julien

 These probably shouldn't come out as ERT. The reason is probably because
 there is no .layout file for this LaTeX class. Creating a layout file is
 explained in the Customization manual and might be as simple as copying the
 standard article.layout. With a layout in place, the import from LaTeX
 should do a better job.


 The file that PLoS provides is just a template, NOT a class. (Click the

Sorry, I should have had a look. It i using the article class, so that's
fine. In the template, the LaTeX code for inserting figure and table floats
are commented out with % characters at the beginning of the lines, that's
why it gets imported as ERT. Just insert figure and table floats in the
usual way using the LyX frontend, it will generate the LaTeX code for you.
LyX generates standard LaTeX for this, and the template also uses standard
LaTeX here (as opposed to their formatting for the title and authors), so
this should not be a problem.

Julien

Rough answer: those that require \usepackage{natbib} (and nothing else

Re: Cross-reference to subeq. within subequations environ

[Julien Rioux]

On 04/09/2013 9:45 AM, Rudi Gaelzer wrote:

Ok, I know I should've first read the whole AMSmath documentation before
asking this but... this is faster...

Say I have a bunch of equations within a labeled subequations
environment. Something like (in LaTeX):

...

\begin{subequations}

\label{eq:eq1}

\begin{equation}



\end{equation}



\begin{align}

 \\

 \\



\end{align}

\end{subequations}

... \ref{eq:eq1} ...

The equations are all labeled with the same number and with the roman
subnumbers from a through d.

As long as I'm aware, I can only \ref{} the main label. I can not make
an automatic reference to a particular subequation unless I label it as
well.

If I don't do it, I have to write the roman subnumber manually. However,
if I later on insert another equation within the subequations, I'll have
to scan the whole document and fix the subnumbers in all cross references...

Does anyone know of a way to automatize this process? Without having to
label individual eqs, I mean. Perhaps there's a package in CTAN that I
don't know of. And does LyX support it?



Why wouldn't you label the subequation that you specifically want to 
reference? That's exactly how you should do it, I think. That's how 
LaTeX handles this problem. Especially if you are worried about perhaps 
inserting or removing subequations before the referenced one.

Hi LyX experts,

I have a twoside document, in which some Figures/Tables are wider than

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Interesting problem, but it seems like nobody knows. You might have

  I don't know if jabref can handle the two different types of citations:

  type you want. If you look at the source you can see that the latex

  Also, if you have several citations in a group, lyx can handle it.

  Can jabref handle that?

###I do it via lyx (add)

 

  Unfortunately you have to go through all the citations and adjust them

 I read the LyX Customization manual under 'Copier' for a better
 solution, but could not find a reference to the LyX temporary directory
 and have no clue how to best solve this in terms of LyX policy.

 The way I use psfrag is to insert the .eps into LyX using the standard
 way from the Insert menu, and put the psfrag code in ERT in the LyX
 document. This way, LyX handles the copying of the .eps file correctly.
 You obviously need the correct \usepackage line added to your preamble
 in document settings.


 Thanks for your comment. I somehow missed your answer after all this
 time...


Well, it took me quite some time to answer in the first place...


 I get how you mentioned the inclusion of the .eps file - I remember trying
 that initially. I also assume you mean `\usepackage{pstool}' as correct
 preamble line(?). However, I do not know what you mean by 'psfrag code'.


Actually, I just use \usepackage{psfrag} directly (\usepackage{pstool}
isn't necessary for pdf output via ps2pdf). The psfrag code that I refer to
is the content of the .tex file generated by matlabfrag alongside the .eps
file. I would be copy-pasting the content of the .tex file into an ERT, but
you could also input the .tex file via InsertFileChild Doc. What this
accomplishes corresponds to what is described at the beginning of section
4.2 of the matlabfrag userguide.pdf manual. If you need to use pdflatex,
you'll need the \usepackage{pstool} instead, but then I don't know how to
help you!

Hope this helps a bit more,

Hi,
Thanks for providing a small example. The problem is that you need to 
define the label correctly, according to the natbib style, in exactly 
the form Authors(2013). See the attached, corrected and simplified 
example.

 The way I use psfrag is to insert the .eps into LyX using the standard
 way from the Insert menu, and put the psfrag code in ERT in the LyX
 document. This way, LyX handles the copying of the .eps file correctly.
 You obviously need the correct \usepackage line added to your preamble
 in document settings.


 Thanks for your comment. I somehow missed your answer after all this
 time...


Well, it took me quite some time to answer in the first place...


 I get how you mentioned the inclusion of the .eps file - I remember trying
 that initially. I also assume you mean `\usepackage{pstool}' as correct
 preamble line(?). However, I do not know what you mean by 'psfrag code'.


Actually, I just use \usepackage{psfrag} directly (\usepackage{pstool}
isn't necessary for pdf output via ps2pdf). The psfrag code that I refer to
is the content of the .tex file generated by matlabfrag alongside the .eps
file. I would be copy-pasting the content of the .tex file into an ERT, but
you could also input the .tex file via InsertFileChild Doc. What this
accomplishes corresponds to what is described at the beginning of section
4.2 of the matlabfrag userguide.pdf manual. If you need to use pdflatex,
you'll need the \usepackage{pstool} instead, but then I don't know how to
help you!

Hope this helps a bit more,

Y.A.,

LyX creates a user directory for you, where it stores your preferences
and other local files. On my Windows 7 partition, the user directory
is C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.0. If you have trouble finding it,
Help  About LyX should point you to it.

In that directory, there should be a text file named configure.log. (If
not, keep reading, I'll get to that case.) It's generated when the
Python configuration script runs. (This is script is both run at
installation and when you click Tools  Reconfigure in LyX.) In it, you
should see lines like the following:

INFO: checking for a Latex2e program...
INFO: +checking for latex...  yes
INFO: checking for a DVI postprocessing program...
INFO: +checking for pplatex...  yes

and eventually

INFO: checking for the pdflatex program...
INFO: +checking for pdflatex...  yes

If they read no, it means LyX failed to detect MiKTeX for some reason.
I've seen this happen when the user had Cygwin installed, for instance.
I don't know if it is still true, but Cygwin used to come with a broken
copy of LaTeX, and if Cygwin was in front of MiKTeX on the system
command path, LyX would test the Cygwin version of latex.exe and
conclude that there was no working LaTeX compiler on the system.

If the log shows that LyX found MiKTeX ('yes' responses), go back to a
DOS prompt and run 'kpsewhich article.cls' (if the article class is
missing according to LyX) and make sure that MiKTeX finds it. If that
looks correct, or if the log file is missing, then I suggest you cd to
your LyX user directory and run the configuration script in a DOS
window. The command line will look something like the following
(allowing for the possibility that your installation path is different):

C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX20\Python\python.exe C:\Program Files
(x86)\LyX20\Resources\configure.py

See if any error messages appear.

Is the MiKTeX bin directory on your system path? Can you run latex
--version
at a DOS prompt (without supplying a path to MiKTeX) and get a response
with a plausible version date?

If yes, take a look at the log generated by the installer (should be
in your user directory, I think) and see if it found a LaTeX installation.
You might want to publish the log to the list.

Is the MiKTeX bin directory on your system path? Can you run latex
--version
at a DOS prompt (without supplying a path to MiKTeX) and get a response
with a plausible version date?

If yes, take a look at the log generated by the installer (should be
in your user directory, I think) and see if it found a LaTeX installation.
You might want to publish the log to the list.

1. I could not find any configure.log file under

2.I tried to run configuration script in DOS windows: C:\Program

Y.A.,

LyX creates a user directory for you, where it stores your preferences
and other "local" files. On my Windows 7 partition, the user directory
is C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.0. If you have trouble finding it,
Help > About LyX should point you to it.

In that directory, there should be a text file named configure.log. (If
not, keep reading, I'll get to that case.) It's generated when the
Python configuration script runs. (This is script is both run at
installation and when you click Tools > Reconfigure in LyX.) In it, you
should see lines like the following:

INFO: checking for a Latex2e program...
INFO: +checking for "latex"...  yes
INFO: checking for a DVI postprocessing program...
INFO: +checking for "pplatex"...  yes

and eventually

INFO: checking for the pdflatex program...
INFO: +checking for "pdflatex"...  yes

If they read "no", it means LyX failed to detect MiKTeX for some reason.
I've seen this happen when the user had Cygwin installed, for instance.
I don't know if it is still true, but Cygwin used to come with a broken
copy of LaTeX, and if Cygwin was in front of MiKTeX on the system
command path, LyX would test the Cygwin version of latex.exe and
conclude that there was no working LaTeX compiler on the system.

If the log shows that LyX found MiKTeX ('yes' responses), go back to a
DOS prompt and run 'kpsewhich article.cls' (if the article class is
"missing" according to LyX) and make sure that MiKTeX finds it. If that
looks correct, or if the log file is missing, then I suggest you cd to
your LyX user directory and run the configuration script in a DOS
window. The command line will look something like the following
(allowing for the possibility that your installation path is different):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX20\Python\python.exe" "C:\Program Files
(x86)\LyX20\Resources\configure.py"

See if any error messages appear.

Just to add a bit more information, if I try this from a Windows command

kpsewhich tells me that TEXMFOUTPUT is set to what I think it is set to:


kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFOUTPUT

If I remove the path setting from my test.tex file so I basically have this:


\newwrite\tempfile
\immediate\openout\tempfile=testreq1.tex
\immediate\write\tempfile{Some text}
\immediate\closeout\tempfile

\input{C:/docs/testreq1.tex}


and set the -output-directory command line option to pdflatex:


pdflatex -output-directory C:\docs test.tex


It all works, so I know that I can write files to that directory.  (Setting
the -output-directory like this though with LyX has the downside that LyX
then can't find the output PDF file as it isn't in the temp directory that
it expects.)

Also to note, it also works if I set -output-directory to %TEXMFOUTPUT%.

So, any clues as to why this doesn't work when just relying on the
TEXMFOUTPUT variable, without setting -output-directory?

Thanks and regards,

I think you need to set openout_any accordingly. In any case, first make 
sure this works with latex from the command line, only then should you 
try to do the same from within LyX.

That's just me writing this layout snippet from memory. The correct

Re: using LyX to write AGU journal articles

On 10/07/2012 7:33 PM, Kristoffer Walker wrote:

Folks,

I am trying to write an AGU journal article using the AGU document class in 
LyX, a front-end to MacTex.  I have been able to generate a good looking 
manuscript with LyX, with one important caveat: the compiled manuscript fails 
to include the Abstract.  I have determined the problem is that the AGU 
document class expects the following missing statement just after the abstract 
definition:

/begin{article}

Similarly, a /end{article} is needed at the end of the document, just before 
the /end{document}.

I can of course write in LyX and then ultimately export to *.tex in the end, 
add the lines, recompile, and submit the manuscript, but is there a better way 
to fix this?  For example, can I edit a Layout file or similar to have these 
things done automatically so that the Abstract will show up from a compilation 
within LyX?

Thank you,

LaTeX output, LyX tries to protect the square brackets by outputting 
{[}h{]}, but this is incorrect LaTeX.


Just checked and this bug is also in the development version LyX 2.1

Re: using LyX to write AGU journal articles

Folks,

I am trying to write an AGU journal article using the AGU document class in 
LyX, a front-end to MacTex.  I have been able to generate a good looking 
manuscript with LyX, with one important caveat: the compiled manuscript fails 
to include the Abstract.  I have determined the problem is that the AGU 
document class expects the following missing statement just after the abstract 
definition:

/begin{article}

Similarly, a /end{article} is needed at the end of the document, just before 
the /end{document}.

I can of course write in LyX and then ultimately export to *.tex in the end, 
add the lines, recompile, and submit the manuscript, but is there a better way 
to fix this?  For example, can I edit a Layout file or similar to have these 
things done automatically so that the Abstract will show up from a compilation 
within LyX?

Thank you,
Kris Walker


I've just opened http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8689 for this issue.
