Herbert,

I haven't had issues using \S when dealing with federal law and state

using ERT.

Many thanks,

Herbert,

I've re-compiled failed builds before and didn't think of doing so this

have the PDF to deliver to my client, all's good.

Many thanks for the reminder.

Need help finding error

[Rich Shepard]

I've not successfully built a MWE; each time I remove text either above or
below the highlighted error the document compiles successfully. The
unmodified doc doesn't.

Attached is an image of the highlighted line and following text along with
the error reporting box, and the complete error log file. I do not see the
error there.

I need help identifying the source of this error. FWIW, the doc built
successfully before I added more text below where the error is shown.

Deleting outline entry

[Rich Shepard]

A document that had built before now fails with an error. I'm trying to
isolate the error and want to delete chapters one-by-one before and after
the highlighted error.

Is there a way to delete an outline entry? A right-click on the entry does
not offer that option and the delete key removes characters in the
chapter/section title, not the chapter/section itself.

That worked perfectly. By trial-and-error I learned how to set the width and
height. Setting the height to 5mm provides room for hand written input. I
adjusted the textwidth % to make the lines even (but I now see the last one
is 1 or 2mm too long; I'll fix that.)

Adding horizonal lines for user entry

[Rich Shepard]

I need to add lines for a signature, printed neme, and other data in a
report document. I'm using the description environment for the data names to

\hrule places a text width line above the data name.

How can I place these lines so they look like this:

Signature: _

Printed Name: __

In previous KOMA-Script reports I have the title (often with multiple

Herbert,

I did not use a table, but the multicol packae to create two columns.

I'll remove that effort and go through each main and sub heading inserting
the index command for each one. For concepts that are not specific words,
I'll find a word on that page to mark, then change the text to the concept
rather than the word.

I suppose there are too few books created using LyX to justify development
time for incorporating an externally-created index as a professional indexer
would do. These professionals use any one of three proprietary indexing
tools that are very expensive but provide publishers with an index to add to
non-fiction books.

Adding exteranally-created index

[Rich Shepard]

A book index can contain more than words found in the body; for example,
concepts that are not single words but might well be what a reader seeks
from the index.

I've created an index externally and it has abbreviations and terms not
necessarily in the text body but could be what a reader seeks to find. Is
there a way for me to add the index? Perhaps by manually adding a 2-column
unnumbered chapter after the bibliography?

TIA,

Re-reading the KOMA-Script manual I saw what I had missed before: "... The

example, the legal disclaimer was set with the help of the \uppertitleback

So I changed all text to be in the \uppertitleback environment but all I get

Where do I learn more on how to write a page of text using only
\uppertitleback (or the footer equivalent?) How do I separate paragraphs and
space them vertically since ragged-entry and \vspace are not working as I am
using them. It's not in the manual (and I don't have a scrguideen.tex file

I moved the \uppertitleback and \lowertitleback from the half-title page to

KOMA-Script (scrbook) frontmatter issues

[Rich Shepard]

I added text to the /uppertitleback environment and now the document won't
compile. I had this issue in 2007 (found on narchive) and tried that solution
but it doesn't work.

I've read the scrguide sections but I still have problems properly
implementing uppertitleback and lower title back on the obverse of the 
half-title
page and just before the title page.

Attached is a MWE starting with an \extratitle (half-title) page, the
upper- and lowertitle back content that is on the back of that page, a
title, author, and (empty) table of contents. The .lyx, .pdf, .tex, and
complete error log are attached.

I need to learn how to do this correctly.

TIA,

Wide table to narrow table

[Rich Shepard]

My book has many tables that are very wide and have only a few (3-4) rows.
They fit on a page in landscape mode but don't look attractive as a narrow
vertical strip in the center of the page.

I want to reformat these tables so they have fewer columns and more rows;
that is the number of columns are divided in half with the right-most
columns underneath the left-most.

Double lines in tables should be avoided so I'm asking for ideas that would
produce attractive table layouts across the width of the text area in
portrait mode rather than a thin strip in landscape mode.

TIA,

Rich

KOMA-Script scrbook: chapter titles right-aligned, between lines, chapter number on top in words

[Rich Shepard]

I'm trying to change the KOMA-Script book chapter headings so the heading is
right-aligned, between two horizontal rules, and the chapter title is above
the top rule as in the memoir class demo chapter head (attached.)

I had found code on the KOMA-Script wiki to place chapter headings between
two lines and right-align it, but lost the code for the latter. A minimal
working example file is attached. The chapter headings are between two
rules, but still left-aligned. The last two lines of the preamble show what I
tried from StackExchange threads; neither works for me and I've not found
code that puts the header number in lower-case words centered above the top
rule.

Pointers to solutions needed.

Herbert,

Yes, the PDF output has et al. citations and all authors in the

Because the LyX display does not reflect that is distracting; I spent the
past couple of days trying to fix it when I need to focus on writing the
index and implementing a different chapter heading look (which will wait
until the index is done.)

Since bibtex, natlib, and juralib have been deprecated would it be
reasonable to drop them from LyX? I've no idea how many LyX users run older

I agree. (And all options in the Citation Style section does the trick.)

Seeing, in the LyX document itself, both et al. and all three author names

There are three sections in the Bibliography settings dialog box: Citation

Fixed this one. While the Settings dialog box showed the authoryear, it was
not in the list of authors. Scrolling down that list I clicked on that name
and the proper entry was loaded. The LyX and PDF files are correct.

However, ... there are still bibliography errors that can be seen in the
mwe.lyx file (attached, along with a mwe.bib containing two entries).

Creating the new file (KOMA-Sctipt book class), the bibliography setting is
stuck at bibtex, not biblatex. I need to fix this for the MWE and future new
docs. It also presents only bibtex citation styles, not the biblatex ones.

I need help setting biblatex as the default for all book and report docs and
having all multi-author docs (3 or more authors) display citations and
bibliography entrries as the first author + et al.

Now to read TLC3/II on biblatex.

Bibliographic citations citation style formatting

[Rich Shepard]

Running lyx-2.3.6.1 on Slackware64-14.2 linux.

When I push a multi-author bibliographic citation from JabRef-5.1 sometimes
it displays with all the author's names, sometimes with first author's name
and 'et al.' See attached image.

In both cases, looking at the Settings -> Citation Style -> formatting I'm
presented with variants of the displayed citation, and not both types.

I don't recall having this problem before. Looking at a couple of documents
with bibliographic citations, all multi-author citations are of the '... et
al.' type.

Here's a different one from a report written a couple of months ago. See
second attachment (citation-style.png). Notice that the citation is a pair
of question marks (and all variants of that are the only display options)
while the citation (Langless2000) is what should be displayed.

How can I clean up both of these documents so they properly display
citations?

biblatex question

[Rich Shepard]

I'm getting a build error at the bibliography grey box at the end of the
document: "Package inputenc error: keyboard character used is undefined."

In the biblatex cheat sheet the first command in the preamble should be
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
but in my document it's
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}

I don't see where in Settings I can change that. It must be an option in one
of the settings and I don't know which one.

TL2023 needed an update. Updating TL2023 is now included in

Herbert,

Did all this.

Tried compiling the book and get the same error, but with the stack_size at
2. The build stops at the same point: `Data' on line 402.

Should I increase the stack_size more (there's 32G RAM on this host)?

What might be causing this error? There are many figures and tables in the
book if that is an issue.

Thanks,

that looks like a recursion. In line 204 you are reading a file with
Data in its name. Right? Show that part of the source code.


Herbert,

I saw that in the log file and had no idea what it meant. The Preface is a
chapter without number, and I'm adding an Acknowledgement page before that
which will also be a chapter without number.

Here's the context for line 204 in the .tex file:

To appreciate why the statistical framework used for environmental
data is critical for decision-makers it is necessary to understand
the details of each one.

\section{\label{sec:Analyzing-Environmental-Data}Analyzing Environmental
Data}

There are three statistical model frameworks applied to data sets.
They are not equivalent and each is most appropriate to answer questions
about different types of data. 



I want to learn more about incorporating LaTeX in my LyX documents. For this
book I want to modify the chapter headings and found code that does most of
that (chapter name left-aligned between two horizontal rules) and I want the
chapter number in words (all lower case) centered above that. This will wait
until I learn how to fix the capacity issue and prepare the index.

Rich

Since I made this inadvertent mistake only once since LyX-1.0, and the

Indexing a book

[Rich Shepard]

Hi group,

I've read the Indexing chapter in the Users Guide, a couple of StackExchange
threads plus general guides to indexing. One LyX-specific issue I've not
seen addressed is how to add bibliography authors to the index.

The book has citations entered by JabRef. Some authors have entries as
single authors, others as both single and part of multiple authors. Since
my book is technical I would like to add all cited authors to the index.
Pointers on how to do this (perhaps manually at each document citation?)
will be very helpful.

My document bibliography is stuck at bibtex. After installing TL2023 I

How can I clean this up so that Settings -> Bibliography allow me to select

I had no expectation there would be distro installed files that weren't

if there was something left behind it should be cleared out.

Yep. There are too many of them:

I'll remove the ones in /usr/share/texmf/; that's where the SBo TLs lived.
Actually, I can remove all of /usr/share/texmf/ because files there all date

Running fmtutil-sys is in general done by the update manager of TeXLive

What do I read to learn how to properly build amstex and bamstex?


In this case you get local format or system format files.


Different errors when run by user and root.

Paul,

Makes sense to me.


Taking the error message at face value, it looks like you somehow ended up
with a very recent (June 2023) version of TeXLive with a not quite so
recent (May '23) version of one of the files (expl3.sty). So maybe an
installation or update of TeXLive got bollixed up? At any rate, it's
unrelated to LyX. Somebody reported this

with an earlier version of TeXLive and posted what looks like a fix.


Yes, I did a tl update earlier this month. Just did another one (34 updates
packages.) Perhaps I need to make this a weekly cron task for root.

Thanks for the URL. Reading that thread I just ran `fmtutil-sys --all' and
now have a different issue:

Er, not so. This just popped up again in a different doc without a
bibliography. But, a second ctrl-h to copy the whole error log produced the

With the first doc, a new ctrl-h also resulted in the .pdf being produced.

I'd still like to understand the error, but since I can send these docs to

Need KOMA-Script scrbook help

[Rich Shepard]

Environment: lyx-2.3.6.1, TL2023.

I've been using KOMA-Script report, article, and letter2 classes for years
and all work flawlessly.

After examining available LaTeX frameworks for a book I'm converting from a
monograph I've settled on the KOMA-Script book class; and I've read the
scrguideen.pdf Part I. But, it's not working as expected. If there's a more
appropriate source for KOMA-Script help please point me to it.

The minimal (non)working example .lyx and .tex files are attached.

Problem 1: \mainmatter is enclosed in \begin{quote} and \end{quote}. I don't
see why. \frontmatter isn't and \backmatter in the book itself aren't so
constrained.

Problem 2: When I try to compile the mwe.lyx using pdflatex it fails with an
error involving 'data' which is not present. The book from which the mwe was
extracted has no problems producing a PDF using pdflatex.

Major issues with Memoir class

[Rich Shepard]

After looking at what the Peter Wilson's Memoir class provides for books I
decided to learn how to use it for a book. Unfortunately, the LyX
implementation is flawed. I'm not on the dev mail list so I'm writing to the
general list asking for improvements in that document class. In the
meantime, I'll see if I can use the KOMA-Script or basic book class to
create the same title page and section headings as I wanted to use with the
Memoir class.

These are what I've learned about the Memoir class in LyX-2.3.6.1:

- The documentclass{} settings dialog box does not have an option for the
  number of columns; nor do the other settings except for Modules (which
  allows adding the multicols package). Yet, the .tex file shows
  'twocolumns' as a class option. Okay for articles, but not for books. I
  added 'singlecolumn' in the document class options and that fixed this
  issue.

- The environment options are appropriate for the memoir article class, not
  the book class. There's an Abstract, but no half-title or other book front
  matter page layouts.

- Adding the LaTeX (ERT) \mainmatter after the front matter puts that
  command between \begin{quote} and \end{quote} so there is no chapter
  number assigned to the unstarred chapters. It thinks chapter* is used.

This is as far as I've done. I cannot build LyX-2.4.x on this
Slackware64-14.2 desktop which is my server and main workstation.

Please find time to make the Memoir book class fully functional in currnet
LyX.

TIA,

Rich

Herbert,

There it is! But I cannot see the 'twocolumn' in the LyX settings.
I gues the kludge stays there because unless I modify the .tex (or .lyx)

Two-column pages with memoir class

[Rich Shepard]

What might cause a document using the memoir book class to produce pdflatex
output with two columns per page? That might be appropriate for some
articles, but not for a book.

Help's needed.

Using memoir class

[Rich Shepard]

If you've used the memoir class for a book please share your knowledge with
me.

Since there are no front matter environments for half-title or copyright
pages (but there is one for abstract which is found on articles, not books)
I need to learn how to define the first two.

Reading Peter Wilson's sample title page documents I've decided on his
\titleM design. He provides the code. But TeXLaTeX2023 does not inclue that
style. Do I copy the code into the book's preamble?

These two are the only issues for which I've not yet found solutions and I
would like pointers on how to apply them to my book.

TIA,

Yes, this document was started a long time ago.

you can allow KOMAScript to use these old commands. However, changing
it to the correct LaTeX commands would make sense: \sc  -> \scshape


Do I make those changes in the .lyx file? Newer documents use the current

Bibliography issues

[Rich Shepard]

I'm using lyx-2.3.6.1 and the (older) document class is KOMA-Script Book.

A while ago I changed the bibliography generator from bibtex to biblatex,
but that's not an option for this document; only Default, biber, bibtex, and
bibtex8 are available from the Settings -> Bibliography dialog box. See
attached bibliography dialog box image.

When I try to compile the document (pdflatex) I find old-font-type errors
(see attached build error image.) Those should have been corected long ago.

Recent documents using the report classe haven't had these issues.

I need a pointer to find where I start looking for the reasons of these
issues.

Change color of mouse/trackball "I" pointer

[Rich Shepard]

The background of my LyX documents are a pale yellow and while the point
position's cursor is red and stands out well on the background, the
trackball/mouse pointer is a very thin black and easily lost amoung the
black text. Is there a way to change that pointer's color?

I didn't see that option in Tools -> Settings -> Display. In other
applications (e.g., alpine where it's a white "I" bar which stands out on
the black background, or the web browser where it's a black arrow on a
white background.) In my urxvt virtual terminals I set the color to yellow
which contrasts with the dark blue background.)

Having the LyX cursor stand out from both the pale yellow background _and_
the black text would be really helpful.

I've used this document (modified as necessary) with similar projects

It seems that the problem is due to the table width established in the

cell and then that of the table, equal to the sum of the widths of the
cells in a row. In these conditions the problem occurs: the terminal part
of the table (on the right) has no horizontal rows, which stop earlier. If
in the settings I increase the width of the table, keeping the width of
each cell fixed (or I decrease the width of each cell and keeping the
width of the table fixed), then the part of the table without horizontal
rows is reduced. Further increasing the width of the table, at some point
the phenomenon disappears. It also happens that in printing, the real
width of the table is greater than the one established in the settings!


Cesare,

Two things to try:
1) Rotate the table so it displays in landscape mode.

2) Make the font smaller.

I’m facing an issue with git and LyX for version control.



I followed the guidelines in section 7.2.6 in the "Additional Features"
LyX manual, but once the git repo is created for the document, and I try
to `register` my document with LyX GUI I get the following error:


I've been using git for years to track lyx document changes, but I never
used any integration.

In the document directory when I first save it, from the shell I run the
command `git init`. Then the sequence `git add *`, `git status`, `git commit
-m "description"`.

Works flawlessly.

Re: Lyx 2.3.7 on Linux Mint

There's always the option to compile from source. Alternatively, if you go
to https://repology.org/project/lyx/versions you can see the versions of
LyX for various Ubuntu distros, along with the email addresses of the
maintainers. They show 2.3.6 as the latest for Jammy, but 2.3.7 for Lunar.
That makes me wonder if there is some installation problem with 2.3.7 on
Jammy. We may have to wait for Mint 22 (sigh).


Paul,

The real question to ask is whether the new version adds something you need
that's not in 2.3.6.

Re: Tables: Setting width for entire column

Since the alignment of the text inside the second row is centered,

\multicell, and in this case their width can be independent from the width
of their column.


Udi,

The column headers are in the first row, and centered. Unchecking
multicolumn for the two header cells doesn't allow me to center them above
the left-aligned cells beneath them.


If you will keep the column width field in the settings empty, they will
have the same width as the rest of the column (currently they have widths
of 45% and 55% of \textwidth, thus the table flows out of the screen).
Change the column width only when the cursor is below the headings.


With the cursor in each of the header cells, there's no width, but the
alignment is Left. The top and bottom borders for the first row, and the
bottom border for the last row slightly overlap the text area.

I'll ignore the left-aligned column headers and slight overhang of the
borders because they're not critical.

Thanks,

Rich

I'm with Udi on this. Maybe you should post a MWE?


Paul, Udi:

I placed the cursor in a cell below the first row (for each column) and
changed the widths from inches to % text area (43%, 53%). Not using the top
row cell made a difference.

The table heading and the cell underlines overhang the right margin a bit. I
don't know how fix this.

MWE attached.

Udi,

That's what I did. The cursor is in the top row of the column and Column
settings changes only that one cell.

Thanks,
