Re: REVTeX 4.1 layout: alpha
Hi Manolo, Thanks! I will attach the AIP sample (aipsamp.tex) that came with RevTeX 4.1, and my LyX port of that file (aipsamp-lyx.lyx) in a separate email to you (too big for this list). I'll also attach PDFs generated from aipsamp.tex and from aipsamp-lyx.lyx. It would help if you could port the APS sample that comes with revtex to lyx and compare the PDFs or DVIs generated from those. The easy part is in applying the layout. The time-consuming part is in copy-pasting the latex source and converting the tex markup into lyx equivalent. To speed this up see the last appendix that I created in aipsamp-lyx.lyx (how to use lyx with revtex). Latest RevTeX 4.1 can be downloaded from http://authors.aps.org/revtex4/ - they have already fixed a few bugs At present, I am experiencing trouble with the \listofvideos command. LyX properly inserts this command where I want it but my latex doesn't compile and therefore my DVI and PDF are not being generated. Let me know if you happen to see the same. If there is a bug we could file a report. The video environment is a new feature that they have just begun to support. If you have suggestions for improvement those would be welcome.

Re: correct way to troubleshot .cls/layout problems?
Did you run the texhash command (no args) from the command line after you
placed the .cls file in the texlive dir? You might have to run that as root.

text-mode macros?
Hi users,
I use math-macros in lyx but I was wondering if there is any way to
achieve macros in text-mode. A use-case that I frequently encounter is to use
either Eqn. or equation in front of equation-reference numbers when
cross-referencing depending on which journal I am submitting my paper to.
Right now, I am achieving this with branches for each journal that modify ERT
definitions of a new latex command (eg. \newcommand{\eq}{Eqn.})
Is there a text-mode macro feature in LyX, or is there a hack to achieve
the same effect?
The above use-case can be achieved through the hyperref package but that, at
many times, opens another can of worms (spurious errors about extra '}',
improper DVI generation etc.)
thanks,
Manoj
What are custom insets?
Hi users, I see the Insert-Custom insets in LyX but the submenu is always empty? Why is this so? What are custom insets and how are they meant to be used (if they can be created)? thanks, Manoj
Mystified by \selectlanguage
Hi users,
I find \selectlanguage{british} and \selectlanguage{english} automatically
springing up in my exported latex code (I am not able to generate DVI from
within lyx for this reason).
My document is a simple one with article document class. The only module
I am using is TODO notes (and that is where the \selectlanguage causes
problems - it begins to show up within the text for the todo-note).
I haven't messed with any other document setting.
Does anyone know how and why this command shows up at all?
thanks,
Manoj
Re: What are custom insets?
Thanks, Vincent. I understand better now. I was trying to use the Todo-notes module but no custom TODO inset was showing up in the menu. Hence the (more general) question. It turned out that the todonotes.module file was not available in my distribution (2.0.0svn) though it was a listed module so I had to download this file from the LyX wiki. -- Manoj On Thursday 25 February 2010 10:25:33 am Vincent van Ravesteijn - TNW wrote: I see the Insert-Custom insets in LyX but the submenu is always empty? Why is this so? What are custom insets and how are they meant to be used (if they can be created)? From the User Guide sec. A.4.8: Custom Insets: The section Flex insets and InsetLayout of the Customization manual explains how custom insets are defined. Vincent
Re: Mystified by \selectlanguage [modified]
Hi users,
I've traced this to the use of the babel package - it seems to be
automatically set for use in Tools-Preferences...-Language
settings-Language dialog.
What I find strange is that LyX seems to be introducing the \selectlanguage
and \foreignlanguage commands in what appears to be a random fashion. When I
create a new equation-reference, I get something like:
\eqref{\selectlanguage{british}eq:myequation\selectlanguage{english}}
Does anyone know why these show up? In the language settings dialog I see
options for Auto begin and Auto end which are checked in my case. Also, in
the Command start: line-edit, I see \selectlanguage{$$language}. I am
guessing it it these settings that are responsible for the spurious language
switchings inside my \eqref. But if these are defaults for new documents, is
there a reason why I may not have seen this before? How does the british
language enter my document - the default is probably just English on my
system. Even my \documentclass command (on latex export) shows the british
option!
Thanks,
Manoj

Re: What are custom insets?
Thanks, Vincent. I understand better now. I was trying to use the Todo-notes module but no custom TODO inset was showing up in the menu. Hence the (more general) question. It turned out that the todonotes.module file was not available in my distribution (2.0.0svn) though it was a listed module so I had to download this file from the LyX wiki. -- Manoj On Thursday 25 February 2010 10:25:33 am Vincent van Ravesteijn - TNW wrote: I see the Insert-Custom insets in LyX but the submenu is always empty?

Re: Mystified by \selectlanguage [modified]
Hi users,
I've traced this to the use of the babel package - it seems to be
automatically set for use in Tools-Preferences...-Language
settings-Language dialog.
What I find strange is that LyX seems to be introducing the \selectlanguage
and \foreignlanguage commands in what appears to be a random fashion. When I
create a new equation-reference, I get something like:
\eqref{\selectlanguage{british}eq:myequation\selectlanguage{english}}
Does anyone know why these show up? In the language settings dialog I see
options for Auto begin and Auto end which are checked in my case. Also, in
the Command start: line-edit, I see \selectlanguage{$$language}. I am
guessing it it these settings that are responsible for the spurious language
switchings inside my \eqref. But if these are defaults for new documents, is
there a reason why I may not have seen this before? How does the british
language enter my document - the default is probably just English on my
system. Even my \documentclass command (on latex export) shows the british
option!
Thanks,
Manoj

Split table?
Hi lyx users, Is it possible to split a table and/or equation array from above or below the current cell? thanks, Manoj
text-mode macros?
Hi users,
I use math-macros in lyx but I was wondering if there is any way to
achieve macros in text-mode. A use-case that I frequently encounter is to use
either "Eqn." or "equation" in front of equation-reference numbers when
cross-referencing depending on which journal I am submitting my paper to.
Right now, I am achieving this with branches for each journal that modify ERT
definitions of a new latex command (eg. \newcommand{\eq}{Eqn.})
Is there a text-mode macro feature in LyX, or is there a hack to achieve
the same effect?
The above use-case can be achieved through the hyperref package but that, at
many times, opens another can of worms (spurious errors about extra '}',
improper DVI generation etc.)
thanks,
Manoj

Re: Export latex - any way to inline bibtex formatted refs? [YES!]
Hi Richard, Ehud (and other lyx users), Based on Richard's suggestions below, I have worked out a way to inline the refs. 2. How and when is a copier invoked? For exporting latex with inline bibliography, I will need to: (1) generate the latex file from lyx, (2) run latex on this file to generate the .aux file, (3) run bibtex on the .aux file, (4) replace the bibtex bibliography command with the .bbl file text as you mentioned. The first two are easy. We define a new format, say ltx2, and define a LyX--ltx2 converter, with the needaux extra flag set. (See Customization, section 3.3.) The last is of course what your python script will do. The third will probably also have to be done from your python script, though this shouldn't be very difficult. You might also want to suggest a new flag, bibtex, that would cause LyX to run bibtex as well as latex. This would be useful in other situations, I am sure. I created a new output format like you mentioned in Tools-Preferences-File handling-File formats and then created a new converter definition in Tools-Preferences-File handling-Converters providing the command: python path/IncludeBib.py $$i $$o I got the file IncludeBib.py from the log for issue #4624 in trac: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/4624 I can now choose File-Export-ltx2 and I get my .tex file with references inlined. Since the IncludeBib.py takes care of running latex to get the .aux I didn't need the needaux flag. I get a status-bar message saying conversion failed but the .tex is created just fine so this issue can be lived with. I'm in the process of creating a FAQ item that I intend to post on the wiki, with screenshots. Thanks, Manoj

Re: acknowledgement
Most document classes have a layout file by the same name. There is a report.layout in the libs/ subdir of your lyx installation.

Quick qn: modifying layout file
Hi all,
I have created a layout file for the journal Proc. Roy. Soc. A. When I
click start appendix here within lyx, the latex source shows \appendix but
I need \appendix{}. So far I am managing with ERT but it seems possible to be
able to modify the layout file to to emit the trailing {}. How can this be
achieved?
The layout files accompanying lyx seem to have an include hierarchy and
while I dig through it, a tip would sure help! :-)
Thanks,

How to avoid 3-column eqnarray formatting
Hi all, When I begin a numbered-formula or a displayed formula, whenever my equation includes at least one operator, pressing Ctrl-Enter creates a new row with 3 columns. The operator splits the 'tokens' forming the equation into 3 columns so that operators in various rows are neatly aligned vertically. How does one turn this behavior off? The above feature is useful only if all equations in one array are 'balanced' with all LHS being roughly the same size and I don't find this to be the common case for my work :-( thanks, Manoj

Re: OT: copy a modern greek-encoded text
Maybe Adobe performs some kind of OCR when you select a piece of text from a PDF document and tries to copy what it can infer onto the clipboard. In that case it might just not be as good with Greek as it is with English. When i tried to select a line, the selection highlight background spilled over to neighbouring lines so acrobat reader wasn't very good with identifying line boundaries to start with. I am using Acrobat 9.0 on KUbuntu 8.04. Have you tried googling for phrases like acrobat copy greek/international ... cheers!

Pre-bug query on UNDO functionality: 2.0.0svn
Hi lyx-users, I am experiencing problems with the undo feature on the SVN trunk version of LyX and I'd like to know if anyone else is experiencing something similar. When I press Ctrl-Z, a whole bunch of changes gets undone as opposed to just the most recent one. Developers, it seems like there is some problem with the events that trigger undo-checkpointing in the code. I am unable to reproduce this on a small file for filing a bug-report. This bug surfaces only in a large LyX file that is about to become a paper I want to submit :-( Thanks, Manoj

\sideset command supported?
Hi,
LaTeX allows the \sideset command to position superscripts and subscripts on
the left side also. For example,
\sideset{_a^b}{_c^d} M prints 'M' with 'a' at its lower-left, 'b' at is
upper-left, and with 'c' and 'd' at normal subscript and superscript
positions.
Can this effect be invoked in LyX?
thanks,
Manoj
Re: \sideset command supported?
Hi Paul,
Thanks, I understand now. Earlier, I didn't know that \sideset works only
for mathematical operators and I used 'M' just as an example. My question was
whether there is a LyX function that supports similar rendering and if either
this or \sideset would show up on the DVI/PDF. You've answered the latter and
helped me understand better.
thanks,
Manoj

\sideset wants to be followed by an operator -- do you have a way to
convince LaTeX 'M' is an operator? I get an error message when I try
the above.
That said, \sideset{_a^b}{_c^d}\prod works in LyX -- the formula does
not look right in the GUI (meaning that LyX will not translate \sideset
into the appropriate visual effects) but the DVI/PDF output will be
correct. (If you turn on instant preview for formulas, it will show up
in the GUI as well.) Entering it is a bit finicky, but not too hard.
Starting inside a math inset, the keystrokes are as follows (` indicates
a space):
1. \sideset` (appears verbatim in the math inset -- should change font
after the space is entered)
2. \{ (creates both opening and closing braces)
3. _a`^b`
4. (cursor out of the braces but stay inside the inset)

How to enable display of all equations
Hi, I find LyX not displaying any of my numbered formulas till the cursor enters that region. Could someone help me figure out how to turn this display on? I must have made some mistake with preferences or settings. thanks, Manoj

How does LyX render symbols?
Hi all, In math mode, when I select the menu item for the greek alpha character, or when I type \alpha within the inline equation box and then press TAB, how does lyx render this to the character? I've traced the code till LyXFunc()::dispatch() which is called on the lyxfunc_ member of the LyX singleton instance. The code logic seems to be that the dispatch() function is called on an hierarchy of various structures like work-area, buffer, cursor etc. and if the FuncRequest has been serviced, the function returns. IIUC, GuiWorkArea::keyPressEvent is triggered each time a key is pressed and the LyX abstraction (server?) is informed of the specific command that this key-press forms depending on LyX state. To render this onto the GUI, the LyX abstraction must call GUI functions with some font info for rendering characters like greek letters, AMS symbols etc. but I keep getting lost before getting here. Could someone point me to the relevant code path? Thanks, Manoj

New feature survey: insert xrefs by right-click (context menu) on TOC items
Hi lyx developers, I present a feature idea and its extension with rapid document manipulation in mind. I was experimenting with the lyx code and I found I could get a menu to popup upon right-clicking on the TOC. This can be used to insert xrefs for existing labels at the current cursor position in the document. With this the user need not invoke the insert-cross-reference dialog and can move ahead with editing the document rapidly. I'd like to ask if you think this would be a nice-to-have feature. Extending the above idea, we might imagine LyX prompting the user for a label if one doesn't exist when he/she right-clicks a TOC item (eg. in the list of graphics TOC). LyX could then insert that label at the appropriate place in the document, update the TOC and insert a reference to it at the current cursor location. Does this seem like a nice-to-have feature? thanks, Manoj

sorting behavior on references
Hi lyx users, When cross-referencing I find the 'sort' feature useful but it currently sorts case-sensitively which places all upper case letters before all lower case letters. This means labels with the same letters that differ only in case must be looked for in two different places. I was wondering if a second sort option could be included that would allow case-insensitive sorting. Also, I was wondering if some support could be built in for category-based sorting. For example, a tab could list all eq: prefixed references whereas another could list all fig: prefixed references. These category tables could be grown incrementally each time a user defines a new label. Thanks, Manoj
Re: sorting behavior on references [feature implementation candidate]
I just wrote the case-insensitive sort feature and tested it against the latest SVN snapshot. I have included a Sort (no case) checkbox adjacent to the Sort checkbox in the insert-reference dialog. Also, my logic ensures that while both can be switched off, the on-states are mutually exclusive. If LyX users/developers think this would be a convenient feature, I can submit a patch. In that case, could someone point me to instructions on how to achieve this? Also, in src/frontends/qt4/ui/RefUi.ui, I see a Labels dropdown listbox but I don't see it show up while LyX is running. What is its purpose?

These category tables could be grown incrementally each time a user defines a new label. Thanks, Manoj
sorting behavior on references
Hi lyx users, When cross-referencing I find the 'sort' feature useful but it currently sorts case-sensitively which places all upper case letters before all lower case letters. This means labels with the same letters that differ only in case must be looked for in two different places. I was wondering if a second sort option could be included that would allow case-insensitive sorting. Also, I was wondering if some support could be built in for category-based sorting. For example, a tab could list all eq: prefixed references whereas another could list all fig: prefixed references. These category tables could be grown incrementally each time a user defines a new label. Thanks, Manoj
Re: sorting behavior on references [feature implementation candidate]
I just wrote the case-insensitive sort feature and tested it against the latest SVN snapshot. I have included a "Sort ( case)" checkbox adjacent to the "" checkbox in the insert-reference dialog. Also, my logic ensures that while both can be switched off, the on-states are mutually exclusive. If LyX users/developers think this would be a convenient feature, I can submit a patch. In that case, could someone point me to instructions on how to achieve this? Also, in src/frontends/qt4/ui/RefUi.ui, I see a "Labels" dropdown listbox but I don't see it show up while LyX is running. What is its purpose?

Problems with equation numbering in appendix
Hi all, I find that in my document (with documentclass report), unless I disable numbering on all equations, I get the error \mathrm allowed only in math mode. Does anyone know how to fix this issue or work around it to get equation numbering working in the appendices? thanks, Manoj
Re: Problems with equation numbering in appendix
I should add that I can't reproduce this in a small test document. Has anyone experienced some change in settings or some latex code snippet import which has caused this? -- Manoj Manoj Rajagopalan wrote: Hi all, I find that in my document (with documentclass report), unless I disable numbering on all equations, I get the error \mathrm allowed only in math mode.

Re: Problems with equation numbering in appendix
I fixed this by using the 'appendix' package. This is a hack. I wonder what caused latex to break in my appendices. -- Manoj Manoj Rajagopalan wrote: I should add that I can't reproduce this in a small test document.
