How to install Lyx 2.0 side by side with 1.6 on a MAC?

2011-05-08 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible and how to install Lyx 2.0 on a MAC
OS X (10.6 Snow Leopard) as a a separate installation so that it doesn't
interfere with the 1.6 installation.
Thank you for your cooperation

 Hi. Is it possible to have both LyX 1.6 and Lyx 2.0 installed at the
 same time? Are there any consequences to having both installed?

 I would like to try LyX 2.0 but don't want to break anything on my
 current work and want to go back to 1.6 easily if necessary.

 Thanks

 Yes, it's possible, and I understand why you want to do it (why throw out a
 version that works fine, if you're not sure about possible bugs in the new
 version?) So you could do the following:

 1)
 assuming you have LyX version 1.6.x installed the usual way,
 rename /Appplications/LyX.app to something else, e.g. LyX-1-6.app.
 2)
 Just for safety, I would make a backup copy of the LyX-1.6 folder in
  ~/Library/Application Support/ (ideally, this shouldn't be necessary,
 because a new LyX-2.0 folder is created)
 3)
 Download and install LyX version 2

 Now whenever you want to open a file with the older LyX, drag it onto the
 icon for LyX-1-6 instead of the LyX application.

 One potential headache is to make sure LyX 2 is the default for opening LyX
 documents. You do that by highlighting any LyX file and going to the Get
 Info menu, then checking the open with... entry. It can sometimes be hard
 to make that setting stick for all files, especially if you go back and
 forth between old and new versions. So during this transition period, it's
 probably good to check the About LyX menu once in a while to verify you're
 using the version you intended.

 Be aware that files saved normally from LyX 2 won't be readable by LyX 1.6,
 so after some time you'll probably be happier working with the new version.

Re: Bibliography problem and [?] questionmarks

2010-01-07 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hello,

in my experience I have obtained the question marks ? in the PDF file
obtained from LyX, instead of regular citations, in these 2 cases:
1) as Richard said: when LyX doesn't find the bibtex file, maybe because it
has been moved after inserting citations
AND / OR
2) when there is something wrong with the bibliographic style selected.

Since weremoose says he was able to insert citations using the LyX commands,
the file path should be right (at least at the moment of inserting
citations). So one reason for the problem could be the second one. I would
suggest to try to select different bibliographic styles from the proper menu
and then save the file and compile in order to verify if this could be the
problem.

 One common reason for this is that the BibTeX file has the wrong sort of
 encoding, in particular, that you are somewhere using Unicode characters
 that are confusing the BibTeX processor. This is especially likely if you
 have tried exporting to LaTeX and running everything manually. Indeed, that
 is the best way to debug this kind of problem: Export to LaTeX; run the
 LaTeX sequence manually from a terminal (latex myfile; then bibtex
 myfile; then latex myfile; then latex myfile again, if necessary) and
 watch for error messages. You will see undefined citations the first latex
 run; this is normal and is why you need to run bibtex. It's on the bibtex
 run that you'll see what's causing the problem. As I said, quite possibly
 encoding issues.

 If things DO work properly when you run things manually, then the problem
 is elsewhere. It could be that LyX isn't finding your bibliography file; it
 could be that lyz (which is very know) is doing something wrong.

Re: input preamble with biblatex?

2010-01-05 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hi,

I too have observed that the \includeonly command doesn't work and I would
be very interested in knowing if there is a way to use it in LyX.

For now, a very simple suggestion for Peter consists in compiling from the
master file but only after including in a LyX note the chapters he doesn't
want to compile:
1. highlight with the mouse the name of the file listed in the master file;
2. click on the LyX note icon in the command bar: the name of the file is
now included in a LyX note and will not be sent to pdflatex for compilation
3. etc. for every file not to be compiled. Only names of files that must be
compiled remain unchanged.

This always works perfectly.

 that was the discussion on an older lyx version but I assume that this is
 still the case (independently that in the actual manual the \includeonly
 command is still mentioned as it would function properly). Is this right?


 So I tried to separate the preamble commands in a special file
 preamble.tex and \input it into every file. But this didn't work. It
 generated many errors, all of them - as far as I can see - related with my
 bibliography. As I'm using biblatex with the module biblatex-citation-style
 I assume that this is also the problem. Can anyone suggest how to proceed?

Re: Zotero to Bibtex to Lyx: A Problem not a baseball play.

2009-12-27 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hi John,

I use a lot both Zotero and LyX but my workflow consists in never using
bibtex files directly exported from Zotero. Instead (for several reasons and
not because of the problems you mention) I always export from Zotero to
BibDesk (an application similar to JabRef, but only available for Mac OS X)
and then I use from LyX the .bib file generated by BibDesk. This always
works very well.

So, I could only try to give you the following 2 different suggestions:

1) 1st suggested solution: export from Zotero to JabRef and then use the
JabRef file in conjunction with LyX
OR:
2) 2nd suggested solution: try to use the .bib file generated by Zotero but
when you export this file from Zotero don't check the UTF8 option

As to the fact that sometimes the key of some records in the .bib file
generated by Zotero has 4 ? this is due to the fact that Zotero, when
exports records in the bibtex format, automatically creates the bibtex key
for each records following this convention:
lastname1stauthor_1stwordoftitle_publication year.
When the publication year field is empty, Zotero adds 4 ? at the end of the
bibtex key created as explained above.

Hope this can be useful.

Best wishes

 Sorry for the last part of the subject line but I am sure that there is
 some famous song (or something about a triple play. Perhaps I should have
 lunch.

 I have been having great fun using Zotero to grab a lot of references
 lately and wanted to use the results in a LyX file.  I selected a subset of
 references that I wanted to use and exported them to Bibtex.

 I do not seem to be able to get the exported Bibtex file to work.

 I can load it, select a citation and insert it.  However when I compile, I
 get (?) if using Natbib and Author Year or [?] if using default and
 plainnat.  I've fooled around with a couple of other settings (forgotten
 now) with the same results.

 I can remove the Bibtex file, add a new (home-grown ) file and everything
 works fine.

 The Bibtex file under Jabref looks reasonable but some of the keys look
 very strange in LyX itself.  I seem to be getting some files with  which
 may just mean that some of the pdf or web sites are not dated.

 My OS is MS XP Home and I am using LyX 1.6.5 with Jabref 2.5 as my Bibtex
 editor.

 I had a quick look at the Zotero forums with no luck and thought that I'd
 ask here first before learning how to navigate them.

 Any suggestions?

 Thanks.

 references that I wanted to use and exported them to Bibtex.

 I do not seem to be able to get the exported Bibtex file to work.

 I can load it, select a citation and insert it.  However when I compile, I
 get (?) if using Natbib and Author Year or [?] if using default and
 plainnat.  I've fooled around with a couple of other settings (forgotten
 now) with the same results.

 I can remove the Bibtex file, add a new (home-grown ) file and everything
 works fine.

 The Bibtex file under Jabref looks reasonable but some of the keys look
 very strange in LyX itself.  I seem to be getting some files with  which
 may just mean that some of the pdf or web sites are not dated.

 My OS is MS XP Home and I am using LyX 1.6.5 with Jabref 2.5 as my Bibtex
 editor.

 I had a quick look at the Zotero forums with no luck and thought that I'd
 ask here first before learning how to navigate them.

 Any suggestions?

 Thanks.

Re: Zotero to Bibtex to Lyx: A Problem not a baseball play.

2009-12-27 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hi John,

I use a lot both Zotero and LyX but my workflow consists in never using
bibtex files directly exported from Zotero. Instead (for several reasons and
not because of the problems you mention) I always export from Zotero to
BibDesk (an application similar to JabRef, but only available for Mac OS X)
and then I use from LyX the .bib file generated by BibDesk. This always
works very well.

So, I could only try to give you the following 2 different suggestions:

1) 1st suggested solution: export from Zotero to JabRef and then use the
JabRef file in conjunction with LyX
OR:
2) 2nd suggested solution: try to use the .bib file generated by Zotero but
when you export this file from Zotero don't check the UTF8 option

As to the fact that sometimes the key of some records in the .bib file
generated by Zotero has 4 ? this is due to the fact that Zotero, when
exports records in the bibtex format, automatically creates the bibtex key
for each records following this convention:
lastname1stauthor_1stwordoftitle_publication year.
When the publication year field is empty, Zotero adds 4 ? at the end of the
bibtex key created as explained above.

Hope this can be useful.

Best wishes

Re: Beamer problem with LyX

2009-10-25 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hi,

thank you all for the suggestions you have sent.
Actually I have solved the problem, even if I am not sure how I did it. I
made another similar file and progressively I copied into it the slides from
the previous one. Maybe the problem was due to some long URL I had put into
some slides using the URL button in LyX. Infact, after checking other
working files, I discovered that in the past I had put the URL only in the
first line of the URL box, withouh checking the case for obtaining an
hyperlink. Maybe this could have been the cause of some errors?
Anyway, in my experience, while other LaTeX classes work perfectly with LyX,
in the case of the Beamer class I have already experienced in the past some
problem of the same kind.
In my opinion this could be due to the fact that LyX treats beamer files in
a slightly different way than the ortodox LaTeX way: LyX susbtitutes all
commands for \begin{frame} and \end{frame} with its own commands:
\lyxframeend. This is visible if one exports the LyX file into a LaTeX file.
So maybe, when you move the slides, this can be a cause for errors, which
would never happen using a standard LaTeX editor with standard LaTeX
commands.
Does anyone agree with this judgement upon his/her personal experience of
using the beamer class with LyX?

 You may have something improperly nested (for instance, a BeginFrame that
 looks correct may be actually be nested under something else).  If you can't
 spot something like that, try a bisection search.  Cut out the second half
 of the slides (roughly), leaving in the final EndFrame, and see if it
 compiles.  If yes, put back half what you cut; if no, cut half what you
 kept.  Iterate until you home in on the culprit.

Dear Yannick,

Good News! It works: I mean: LyX+classicthesis port + biblatex.
I have tested it using 2 different computers and environments:
1) an iBook PowerPc with MAC OS X 10.3.9, TeXLive 2007 and LyX 1.5
2) an iMac Intet with MAC OS X 10.5.8, TeXLive 2008 and LyX 1.6.2
it works on both machines so it SHOULD work even in your case.

Let's sum up the preliminary steps to have it work:

1) download the biblatex.module from http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex and
put it into your /Users/your_computer_name/Library/Application
Support/LyX-1.6/layouts

2) download the Perl script bibtexall from
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Tips#secbib and copy it into your /usr/local/bin

3) open LyX and Run Edit→Reconfigure, restart LyX and select the module
Biblatex-citation-styles from Document→Settings→Modules. as explained in
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex

4) put your bibliography (that is your .bib file) in your personal LaTeX
directory, that is in the folder
/Users/your_computer_name/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib

Now let's go and open the two files preamble.sty and nm_classicthesis.sty
from the Nick Mariette ClassicThesis LyX port:

1. Modifications to preamble.sty

2. Modifications to nm_classicthesis.sty

and modify them as I have explained in the file List of commands to modify
in the preamble_sty file.tex you will find in the folder enclosed


Finally, modify your LyX files:

1. in the preamble of your master file add these lines:

\usepackage{nameref}
\defbibheading{references}{\section*{References}}
%
\defbibheading{bibliography}{\chapter*{Bibliography}}
%
\defbibfilter{notcited}{%
 \not \segment{1}
\and \not \segment{2}
\and \not \segment{3}



2. in every chapter add these lines:

for example:

\myChapter{Title of first chapter}

\begin{refsegment}

...

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}

\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=1]

\end{refsegment}

and then again:

\myChapter{Title of second chapter}

\begin{refsegment}

...

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}

\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=2]

\end{refsegment}

etc.

Mind the line with the command
\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=2] : in the options the number
after segment is the same number of your segment, that is, in your case, the
number of the chapter

Save and run PDF (pdflatex) from your master file.

In the addedd folder you will find and example done with Chapter 02 from the
Nick Mariette LyX port of ClassicThesis.

I hope this will work.

H,
 so getting things working with ClassicThesis is harder than I thought.

 I've resolved most of the conflicts between the classicthesis.sty,
 preamble.sty and the preable that you gave in your example. (like you said,
 those were related to natbib, hyperref, backref). So I feel I'm 90% there!
 However, as soon as I add the code below to my ClassicThesis.lyx preamble,
 things fail.

 But I cannot make sense of the errors, nor locate where they are coming
 from (is there any way to get more verbose error messages from lyx?). What
 follows is the first error out of many:
 Error: You can't use '\spacefactor' in vertical mode.
 Description:  \@
 ifundefined{showcaptionsetup}{}{%
 Sorry, but I'm not programmed to handle this case;
 I'll just pretend that you didn't ask for it.
 If you're in the wrong mode, you might be able to
 return to the right one by typing `I}' or `I$' or `I\par'.
 

 Do you have any ideas where I should look?

 Thanks!!

Dear Yannick,

I am glad to hear that the files I sent you solved your problem. I tried to
send my e-mail, with the attached files, even to the
lyx-us...@lists.lyx.orgbut the mail systems continues to refuse my
message to the list. I don't
know why.
According to the Readme file the NM LyX port  "is free software; you can
redistribute it and/or modify it" so I imagine I am free to post to a
website my modified version. But maybe it is not so difficult to have it and
in any case  I will be happy to send it to other interested people who would
like to use the LyX version of André Miede's ClassicThesis, by Nick Mariette
together with the biblatex package.

Cool that's excellent!
Thank you so much! Can I buy you a beer? What's your paypal?

Now all I have to do is figure out how to format the references the way I
want them :)

have a wonderful evening,
yannick
ps: will you post this to the list or to a website?

Dear Yannick,

Good News! It works: I mean: LyX+classicthesis port + biblatex.
I have tested it using 2 different computers and environments:
1) an iBook PowerPc with MAC OS X 10.3.9, TeXLive 2007 and LyX 1.5
2) an iMac Intet with MAC OS X 10.5.8, TeXLive 2008 and LyX 1.6.2
it works on both machines so it SHOULD work even in your case.

Let's sum up the preliminary steps to have it work:

1) download the biblatex.module from http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex and
put it into your /Users/your_computer_name/Library/Application
Support/LyX-1.6/layouts

2) download the Perl script bibtexall from
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Tips#secbib and copy it into your /usr/local/bin

3) open LyX and Run Edit→Reconfigure, restart LyX and select the module
"Biblatex-citation-styles" from Document→Settings→Modules. as explained in
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex

4) put your bibliography (that is your .bib file) in your personal LaTeX
directory, that is in the folder
/Users/your_computer_name/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib

Now let's go and open the two files preamble.sty and nm_classicthesis.sty
from the Nick Mariette ClassicThesis LyX port:

1. Modifications to preamble.sty

2. Modifications to nm_classicthesis.sty

and modify them as I have explained in the file List of commands to modify
in the preamble_sty file.tex you will find in the folder enclosed


Finally, modify your LyX files:

1. in the preamble of your master file add these lines:

\usepackage{nameref}
\defbibheading{references}{\section*{References}}
%
\defbibheading{bibliography}{\chapter*{Bibliography}}
%
\defbibfilter{notcited}{%
 \not \segment{1}
\and \not \segment{2}
\and \not \segment{3}



2. in every chapter add these lines:

for example:

\myChapter{Title of first chapter}

\begin{refsegment}

...

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}

\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=1]

\end{refsegment}

and then again:

\myChapter{Title of second chapter}

\begin{refsegment}

...

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\refname}

\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=2]

\end{refsegment}

etc.

Mind the line with the command
\printbibliography[heading=references,segment=2] : in the options the number
after segment is the same number of your segment, that is, in your case, the
number of the chapter

Save and run PDF (pdflatex) from your master file.

In the addedd folder you will find and example done with Chapter 02 from the
Nick Mariette LyX port of ClassicThesis.

I hope this will work.

Best wishes

Pierfranco

Hi Yannick,

I have very recently tested a solution to your problem using the biblatex
package. Even if biblatex is still beta I can assure you that it is a very
effective and easy solution, very flexible and adaptable to different needs.
Read the instruction on the LyX wiki dedicated to the use of biblatex at
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex.
It is indispensable in your case to install the biblatex package
downloadable from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/biblatex.html. Also
you will have to install the Perl script bibtexall into an executable path
so that LyX will be able to compile all the files produced.
Herewith enclosed I add  an exemple I have developed modifying an original
file found in the exemples directory of the biblatex package downloaded from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/biblatex.html
The code is pure LateX but it has also been tested with LyX and the
KOMAscript report class, so it perflectly works. You just need to import
this file in LyX and make adjustements following the specific instructions
at http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex for using biblatex with LyX.
I can also add that I haven't still used in conjunction with the LyX port of
the ClassicThesis style which I am also using, but I plan to do it very soon
and I think I will only have to modify the original files related to the LyX
port of the ClassicThesis style by commenting out fthe packages and options
related to:
1) natbib

2) backref package (you will use the specific functions provided by
biblatex)

besides it is absolutely important to put the biblatex package before the
hyperref package.

Herewith you can see the exemple I have obtained using pure LaTex code for
producing lists of references printed at the end of each chapter. Obviously
this example can only work in conjunction with the examples.bib file put in
the exemples directory of the biblatex package.

 Hello,

 I'm trying to write my thesis with the excellent Lyx port of classicThesis
 (uses Koma). However, I prefer keeping my bibliographies separate (ie one
 bibliography per chapter).

 I don't have deep understanding of Latex, but found some 2002 posts to this
 list relative to using bibunits. I tried those as well as looking at
 chapterbib.

 The simplest I could attempt to do was to compile the following example:

 Suprisingly, it doesn't work (I obtain only one single bibliography at the
 end). Here's the output:

Hi all,

since I am in a very similar situation as Alessio, that is I am an Italian
user working with an Italian version of LyX (i.e. menues etc are translated
in Italian), and writing in English, I confirm that the normal LyX is
behaviour consists in showing in these cases (and other similar cases as
well, e.g. Indice instead of Table of contents; Bibliografia instead of
Bibliography) an Italian expression (e.g. the Italian conjunction e instead
of the English conjunction and). However the output (the PDF) is perfectly
correct showing in these cases and (not e).
So, from my experience, I also suggest that if the real problem Alessio is
experiencing consists only in the output and only in an ampersand  instead
of an and, this shoud be related to the style, that is the .bst file he is
using.

Re: Captions

2009-08-21 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hi,

the most effective way (as far as I know) to customise float capions is to
use the package caption which provides several options.
I use it in connection withLyX and the KOMA script report class and I obtain
what I want.
If it is not included in your LaTeX distribution you can download it from:
 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption/
and install in your computer.

Then in you preamble you should put the following lines:

\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[table]{format=plain,skip=\medskipamount} % for tables
\captionsetup[figure]{format=plainskip=\medskipamount} %for figures

Check the documentation with all the options you can use at
http://www.ctan.org/get/macros/latex/contrib/caption/caption-eng.pdf

Re: Captions

2009-08-21 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hi,

the most effective way (as far as I know) to customise float capions is to
use the package caption which provides several options.
I use it in connection withLyX and the KOMA script report class and I obtain
what I want.
If it is not included in your LaTeX distribution you can download it from:
 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption/
and install in your computer.

Then in you preamble you should put the following lines:

\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[table]{format=plain,skip=\medskipamount} % for tables
\captionsetup[figure]{format=plainskip=\medskipamount} %for figures

Check the documentation with all the options you can use at
http://www.ctan.org/get/macros/latex/contrib/caption/caption-eng.pdf

What are System Requirements for LyX Mac OS X?

Dear all,

I would like to replace my LyX 1.5.4 version on my iBook with MAC OS X
10.3.9 (Panther) with the new 1.6.3 version of LyX but I have two
questions:

1) compatibility between LyX 1.6.3 and my version of the MAC OS X:  I am
unable to find on http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Mac or at
http://www.lyx.org/Download information about the system requirements for
version 1.6.3. Is this version compatible with MAC OS X 10.3.9 or not?
Apple downloads at
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/lyx.html says it
requires at least MAC OS X 10.4 (Tiger); VersionTracker at

compatible with MAC OS X 10.3.9; softt32
http://www.soft32.com/download_226661.html says it requires Tiger.
So what is the truth about compatibility with the OS?


2) what is the compatibility with documents written with the old version.

You are not too optimistic. Really, it is easy. I am not a LaTeX guru and I

You just have to add a few lines in the preamble of your document (in the

Re: lmodern pdfs not sharp on-screen

2009-06-17 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hi all,

speaking of fonts, I could add my experience with LaTeX (LyX) using MAC OS X
and mostly Preview, that is the default PDF viewer on MAC computers.
Actually I have never used lmodern because it didn't look well on the
screen, as it has been said. After several trials I have found out that
these fonts were best both for screen reading and for printing. In the Roman
family: Charter, Fourier, Utopia. For the sans serif family I use berasans.
All these fonts are available through a standard LaTeX distribution, or at
least with a MAC OS X LaTeX distribution, so you don't need to install any
additional font.

 Hi,

 You may have problems to find a font looking sharp everywhere, because it's
 also dependent on the viewer software (a lot) and some OS settings ('OS' in
 the widest meaning):
 On Windows XP, for example, pdf with latin modern sans-serif look sharp on
 screen when using Adobe Reader 8 or GSview, but do not look so sharp with
 Sumatra (0.9) or Foxit reader 3. There are two different display modes in
 Foxit (both not-good-looking) and three in Adobe Reader. And there are yet
 other alternatives...
 I guess it may be more uniform on linux, as most readers share libraries
 (poppler, etc.), but Foxit and Adobe Reader may still differ.

 Sorry for the somehow bad news, but I'm afraid there is no universal
 answer. Good luck in your quest.

 Best regards,

 Olivier

Re: Breaking long URL?

2008-12-02 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hi Peter,

I have put in the preamble \usepackage{breakurl}  and everything is fine. I
use a normal .bib file and I do not biblatex. In my last document I have a
long bibliography with a lot of refences to electronic documents and web
pages, then there is plenty of URL in there and breaking of URLs works fine.
Hope this can be helpful.

 Hi,

 How to break URL at non-letters without hyphen? I've turned on HyperRef
 Support on and also checked the box break link over lines but still the
 URLs do not break.

 Breaking of URLs works for me in the bibliography with biblatex but not
 with
 the normal bibtex bibliography. And in both cases it does not work within
 normal paragraphs.

 I've tried breaklinks=true in the option line of the PDF feature dialog
 but without success.

 What's wrong? ( OSX 10.4.11, LyX 1.6.0., TeXLive 2008)

Hi Peter,

happy to have been of help. But sorry: I can't remember where I found the
breakurl package. I spent part of last summer learning the basics of LaTeX
and how to customize LyX texts so that they could suit my needs and really I
can't remember all the stuff I have checked when I encountered some problem
and found a solution. By the way, I think this is a common problem with
laTeX. There are so many packages and the environment grows in such an
anarchic way, a positive anarchic way which is the result of the cooperation
of several unconnected people, that it is difficult to know all what you
need and when you need it. That's why the email list is very very useful
because it saves you a lot of time.

Re: All Authors in citation

2008-11-27 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hi,

1st problem: the use of et al. this IS DUE TO APA! So how could it be
different? In any case, as for I know, there is no style which manages a
different behaviour, that is the use of et al. only for the second reference
on. Anyway, try using the custom-bib package and create a personal style
that suits you. This is not difficult: all instructions appear on the screen
and you have just to select your preference among some optional choices.
You could also use 3 other styles similar to APA: apacite, apalike, newapa
The advantage is that in these three cases you don't need to use the APA
article class, so you can use any class and then numbered sections, or what
you prefer.

2nd problem: there must be some problem with the original bibliographic file
because this problem is not a standard behaviour with APA. Open the .bib
file containing your references using a simple text editor and check if
there is somethibg which is not correct.

Hope to be of help.

 Hy NG,
 I'm a new LYX (1.6, Mac) user but accommodate well over the last weeks.
 Writing my PhD now and have two problems with citations:
 Documentclass: article
 Style: Natbib Author-Year
 Bibtex Library imported from Endnote
 Must use APA for citations

 So far so good.
 1st: I need to include all authors in the Text at the first citation (e.g.
 Tim, Tom, Peter, 1998), but my citations are always (Tim, et.al, 1998).
 I've
 ticked also the all authors box in the dialog box, without result?
 The citations are correct when I change the documentclass into APA, but in
 this case the sections and subsections are not numbered. How can I use APA
 with numbered sections?
 2nd: The list of references include after the correct citation, the same
 citation again in brackets (e.g. Tim, Tom, Peter, 1998. This is the Title,
 Journal, p 1-10(The same again))??
 Maybe there is some problem with Endnote import into Bibtex?

 thanks for any help

As far as I know, the addition of a letter to the year, which is useful in
the case you cite in the same paper 2 or more publications by the same
author with different titles but published in the same year, depends from
the specific citation style used and selected once and for all in the
selection window in LyX where you also select the bib file. For example,
econometrica, which is one of the citation styles proposed by LyX, manages
the addition of a letter to the publication year in the needed cases.

 I do this as follows:

 1. create a beamer presentation document as usual.
 2. create a second document, beamer-article class, for the handout
 3. Include the beamer document as a child document

 To get it work, you need to insert an empty frame into the beamer-article
 document (i.e. a BeginFrame and and EndFrame) to get some preamble
 stuff
 set. Apart from that (and an annoying warning that the child document is of
 a
 different class than the master) it works pretty well.

Re: Create Lyx-document without documentclass?

2008-10-26 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hi,

I am also interested in creating handouts but I can't find a beamer-article
class in Lyx menu where to select your document class.
If you choose the article class, then how could you create an empty frame?
LyX doesn't provide commands for creating frames in the article class,
unless you write them as an ERT.
Is that something I am missing in the instructions provided by Jurgen?

 Don't think so.

  Or there other suggestions for the Problem?

 I do this as follows:

 1. create a beamer presentation document as usual.
 2. create a second document, beamer-article class, for the handout
 3. Include the beamer document as a child document

 To get it work, you need to insert an empty frame into the beamer-article
 document (i.e. a BeginFrame and and EndFrame) to get some preamble
 stuff
 set. Apart from that (and an annoying warning that the child document is of
 a
 different class than the master) it works pretty well.

Re: How to change pdf viewer?

2008-10-22 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hi,

I must confess that even in my case (LyX 1.5.4 on Mac Os X 10.3.9), if I
want to change the default PDF viewer I have to put the whole path to the
executable. For example, for using the pdf viewer Adobe Reader 7.1.0 for Mac
it works only if I use:

/Applications/Adobe\ Reader\ 7.1.0/Adobe\ Reader\
7.1.0.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ Reader

instead if i follow the other suggestions and use:

open -a Adobe Reader 7.1.0

it doesn't work. Nothing happens.

 change the pdf viewer I add: it it not sufficient to give in the path to the

 Mac-OSX, in my case:

 /Applications/Skim.app/Contents/MacOS/Skim


 What should also do the trick is open -a Skim, that lets OS X do the work
 of finding the app.

 What I actually use is the attached script that explicitly tells Skim to
 reload. I've disabled auto-reload in Skim, since this sometimes does not
 work in combination with LyX's multiple compilation of the file.

 So I have the attached script in ~/bin, set the script as executable (chmod
 u+x ...), in LyX ~/bin/SkimReload.sh, and then always use View PDF (not:
 Update PDF) in LyX

Change character dimensions of numbered subsections titles

I use Lyx and the class Article. I find that the titles of numbered
subsections are too big and I would like to change them. However if i

remain as big as before and only the words of the title change.

Is there a method to hack this style? Any idea about an ERT command or

Re: Solved: Bibtex Problem

I agree with Jurgen: my bibtex database contains now 600 references

being a LyX users for just a few months, I am always amazed by

using LyX.  Obviously it would be a great problem if LyX coun't use a
big database for managing references so as that LyX users would be

Re: Bibliography format problem, Please help !!!!!!!!!!

2008-09-30 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hi,

among the several bibliographic styles made available by LyX and which you
can select from the bibliograpich style menu there is also one that provides
a very similar effect to the one you would like to obtain: humannat.
Author names are always put on a separated line after which follows the
other bibliographic data beginning with the publication year.
These are three examples of some references I have put in a publication
formatted using this style:

Bishop, A. P., N. A. Van House, and B. P. Buttenfield, eds.
2003b. *Digital Library Use. Social Practice in Design and Evaluation*.
Cambridge (MA): The MIT Press.

Borgman, C. L.
1996. Why are online catalogs still 'hard' to use? *Journal of the American
Society for Information Science,* 47(7):493–503.

De Rosa, C.
2005. *College students' perceptions of libraries and information resources
: a report to the OCLC membership*. Dublin (Ohio): OCLC Online Computer
Library Center. [Online]. Available from:
http://www.oclc.org/reports/pdfs/studentperceptions.pdf [Last checked
2008-08-26].

As you can see hummanat also manage titles in italic for journals and books.
The URL and Last checked fields have been added by me to my humannat style
file using the urlbst-0.6-1 package.

The only relevant difference from your example consists in the position of
the publication year.

 The above file and almost all other style files available on net LIST THE

 But I want them to be in the below given format

 unsrt.bst  (1925)


 i.e. Authors on the first line  journal, publication details in the
 second.
 I have tried all my options but I am not able to change this style file to
 move to second line.

 Kindly suggest the Change at the earliest.

 Hi all,

 is there anyone of the LyX for MAC users which could help me with handling

 I use Lyx 1.5.4 for Mac (PowerPC, Mac OS X 10.3.9) and I have found out
 that
 I cannot insert in Lyx files JPEG images. I can only insert PNG images
 (and
 PDF as well, even if they are not showed in Lyx as a preview).
 If I try to insert JPEG images, I get an error message saying that the
 system is unable to convert the image format.


 This sure sounds like you don't have ImageMagick installed properly (or
 properly recognized by LyX).


 Something similar happens when I use the Export function to HTML, even if
 the LyX file has PNG images (which are not a problem in LyX preview and in
 the pdf output). In the case of the Export function for files with PNG
 images I get this message:

 No information for converting png format files to eps.
 Define a converter in the preferences.

 Actually, the result of the HTML Export is a Folder which contains the
 HTML
 file
 converted form Lyx as well as the files of the PNG images which I had
 inserted in
 the original Lyx file, but when I open this html file in the browser
 window
 I can't see the png images within the HTML page.

 As for my installation, I installed ImageMagick with the full LyX package.
 I

 correctly
 shown both in the Lyx preview and in the pdf output, still something

 Could you please help me with this issue?


 Try first reconfiguring LyX (LyX  Reconfigure) and then restarting. Does
 that solve it? If not, try moving aside your preferences file (in
 ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5) or even the whole LyX-1.5 directory.
 Does that solve it?

Re: LyX for MAC: problems in handling file images

2008-08-25 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
This is the message I get in Terminal after launching the command you
suggested:

$ convert -version
dyld: convert can't open library: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.6.dylib  (No such
file or directory, errno = 2)
Trace/BPT trap
Computer-di-Pierfranco-Minsenti:~ pierfranco$

I have checked my disk and found that I have this directory:
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.4.11.dylib

so I see there is a difference between the file which is looked for in
Terminal, which is

libXext.6.dylib

and the file I actually have which is

libXpm.4.11.dylib

But this is all I can say at the moment.

Thank you in advance for the suggestions you will be able to give me.

Re: LyX for MAC: problems in handling file images

2008-08-25 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
I have checked my installation of ImageMagick: 6.3.3.
Most elements are in the .usr/local/lib
Maybe I installed it when I installed the full MacTeX package containing the
texlive2007 package.

Now, since I am a totally beginner in the Lyx and Latex arena (I have been
using, LyX for 3 weeks), I am not sure about what are the right ways for
uninstalling/installing LaTeX packages and additional software.
Perhaps I could do the two operations through the i-Installer? However I
have just checked it for ImageMagick and it says that ImageMagick is being
updated and then is not available. Maybe I could download it from
http://www.imagemagick.org/? But then how could I uninstall the present
version and install the new one?
Sorry, but since I am used only to uninstall ordinary applications by moving
them from the Application folder to the Trash, which is not the case with
ImageMagick, I am unsure about how to uninstall ImageMagick and then
reinstall it.

 That you have problems with convert (which is from imagemagick) shows that
 the problem is not with LyX but with imagemagick. Perhaps you should try
 reinstalling imagemagick and see if that works. (How did you install it in
 the first place?)

 This sure sounds like you don't have ImageMagick installed properly (or
 properly recognized by LyX).


 Something similar happens when I use the Export function to HTML, even if
 the LyX file has PNG images (which are not a problem in LyX preview and in
 the pdf output). In the case of the Export function for files with PNG
 images I get this message:

 No information for converting png format files to eps.
 Define a converter in the preferences.

 Actually, the result of the HTML Export is a Folder which contains the

 inserted in
 the original Lyx file, but when I open this html file in the browser

I am a newcomer and I am using since a few days Lyx 1.5.4 for Mac and the
class report: why if I use numbered sections (without parts, chapters etc.:
just sections) the authomated numbers are 0.1, 0.2 etc? I would like to have
normal numbers like 1, 2 etc. not decimal numbers.
What can I do to have normal numbers? Is this a problem of the class report,

Help! Relevant visualization problem in LyX

2008-08-04 Thread Pierfranco Minsenti
Hi,

today I have downloaded and installed v. 1.5.6.
But when I open LyX, I can see a blank page of a new document or what I have
written in an old LyX document with 1.5.4, but when I start typing (either in a
new or in
an old document) I can normally see just the first line of my writing, because
when I hit return and begin typing other words on the following line, on the
screeen I just see diagonal lines and I can't see any character of what I am
typing until I hit return again. Lines of writing seem to be stretched and
reduced to diagonal lines and become almost invisible. And this again for any
added line of writing.

I have tried to unistall everything and also LyX 1.5.6 and install LyX 1.5.5 but
nothing change.

I have an iBook G4, Power PC, 1.2 Ghz 1.25 GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.3.9.

Could you please help me?

Thank you!
