tabu package

[Simon, Klaus]

I wonder if LyX perhaps does not support the tabu package?

Spell-checker with Lyx on Ubuntu 11.04

[Simon Cullen]

Hello,
The spellchecker in Lyx is marking all strings which end with a
right-quotation marks as spelled incorrectly.  So the string: manifest
 will not get marked as incorrect, but the string: `manifest'  will
be marked incorrect. I have searched everywhere for a fix for this
irritating problem, but to no avail.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

natbib/authordate extra white space after et al.

[Simon Mushi]

Hi,
 I am using Lyx 2.0.0 and have written a paper using natbib and the
authordate3 bib style. All is well, apart from et al. citations in the
body which appear with an extra whitespace before the comma and date,
i.e  (Ahrens et al. , 2000)

 How do I get rid of this space before the comma? I have tried going
in the authordate3.bst , but can't find any spurious spaces. Anyone
else having this problem?

Thanks in advance!

-Simon

Re: natbib/authordate extra white space after et al.

[Simon Mushi]

Richard,
  Coincidentally, this happens with all the authordate family of
styles, i.e. 1,2,3 and 4. Do you observe the same behaviour on your
system? Using the APA style gives Ahrens et al., 2000, which is
_correct_, but I prefered authordate3's presentation of the bib
itself.

Line 268 of authordate3.bst has the following entry

{ , {\em et~al.\}\relax * }

 no spurious spaces here...anywhere else to look?

Thanks,
 -Simon

 So you get it with authordate3 but not with any other style? If so, then
 it's in that bst file somewhere.

 Thanks, after fixing that line I was still having the same problem so
kept looking in the style file and found  a similar statement on line

 There certainly is an extra space on that line when I open
 authordate3.bst from my tex distribution. To remove it delete the
 backslash and the space that come after et~al.

(newbie) Scripting, MSword and Lyx

[Simon]

hello world!

Hi I'm Simon, I'm considering Lyx for my use, but I'd like your
opinion before I try it.  I'm currently downloading/compiling it on my
gentoo desktop, so meanwhile I thought I'd ask!

In a nutshell:
  I need a programmer-friendly way to output good looking documents
compatible with current MS word.  This is my problem.  I thought if
LyX can output to word documents, maybe I'm getting close to a
solution, but also, I'm sure you guys (this community i mean) also
have experience with some of my concerns and might be able to help me
out.

In details:
  I often need to write documents containing technical or repetitive
information that I feel a script would do better and faster.  (I could
write one to create such document in html within a few minutes).
These documents are opened by business people that know nothing
outside of their MS universe (a secretary once refused a PDF i sent
her saying she couldnt open it, that's 2 years ago!  I bet the
extension.rtf wouldnt do as good as .doc either...).  Some of them
have locked down computers and cant install or change anything, some
are scared about anything different and some just dont bother.
Another reason (quite a good one) is that sometimes these people need
to edit those documents and the only tool really suitable for them is
MSword...  These people are not under my supervision, they are my
partners, my clients, some employers, etc...  random business people.

  While on the other hand, authoring documents with MS tools is
extremely painful to me (i got the skin of a tux i guess!) and working
with OpenOffice is also quite painful...  I've tried converting HTML
to Office documents and got great results sometimes, while I got
horrible results other times (compatibility issue, like the story
about MSword not allowing tables inside tables!).  Conversion seems a
dangerous route (specially that I only own an old copy of office to
test the result...).

  I used to do my lab reports and several homework in LaTeX long ago
when I was in highschool and college, so I do have some memory of what
it's like to use tex.

The ideal route would be:myProg - (lyx?)  - msword

Thanks in advance for help and suggestions,
  Simon =)

Re: (newbie) Scripting, MSword and Lyx

[Simon]

Thanks a lot for the quick reply!

 Something like this can work, but conversion from LyX to * generally relies
 upon LyX-LaTeX-*, though there is an exception, namely, the elyxer
 LyX-HTML converter. Whether you'd get decent results with that, given the
 problems you said you already had with HTML-Word, is hard to say.

 That said, there are decent LaTeX-RTF converters, which means there's a
 decent LyX-RTF converter, and there's a good LaTeX-ODT converter, namely,
 the oolatex program that comes with tex4ht. People often have problems with
 oolatex on Windows, but it seems to work real well on Linux. Of course,
 you'd then have to do a manual ODT-Word (or RTF--Word) conversion in OOo,
 or write a simple script to do it using the OOo scripting capabilities. And
 then you have yet another step in the conversion chain, so YMMV, obviously.

I think I'll give a try to the route involving LaTeX and RTF, without
using LyX...  this seems promising enough.  I wonder if the RTF route
(compared to HTML) can do a better job at handling page breaks and
complex tables...  I guess I'll have to give it a try to know! But
thanks a lot for the several possibilities you ennumerated, gives me a
few good options! =)

 So, *all* of that said, given that you're going via LaTeX anyway, and given
 that we're talking about generating this document programatically, I'd think
 that writing your script to generate LaTeX is going to be a lot easier than
 writing it to generate LyX's native file format, which is not exactly made
 for such things.

I think you're right.  I mainly thought LyX could output msword
documents...  but I've done my homework and read several pages on the
website/wiki and seems like anything2msword is tricky!

 Though you could use LyX's other scripting capabilities,
 via the so-called LyX server, to create the document, that seems to me like
 overkill, if what you want in the end is LaTeX.

What's most overkill is that I'd have to learn LyX for so little
advantage after all...  unless there are some other advantages related
to my tasks that LyX could help with...

 And LaTeX itself is
 sufficiently well-structured, and human readable, that I doubt you'd have
 too much trouble generating it. I can imagine something kind of like the old
 Perl cgi interface: a set of routines that completely hides what LaTeX is
 doing, but allows you to generate the document via a series of simple calls,
 like: doc-makeSection('My Section'), and so forth.

This is exactly my plan (or the basics of it).  Since a few things
might get lost in the translation, I'll work on building such
functions that give the most stable final output.  Since I'm only
concerned about the final output, I wont have to work on making both
the LaTeX-PS output and the msword render the same (though this would
be highly convenient).

Thanks a lot!

This is exactly my plan (or the basics of it).  Since a few things
might "get lost in the translation", I'll work on building such
functions that give the most stable final output.  Since I'm only
concerned about the final output, I wont have to work on making both
the LaTeX->PS output and the msword render the same (though this would
be highly convenient).

Thanks a lot!

Hello there!

 

I use the Windows version of Lyx 1.5.6.  I cannot understand the
existing instructions for how to use different reference styles.
Believe me, I have tried, but the answers are simply not comprehensible
to people like me, who while not computer illiterate, are not intimately
familiar with the structure of Lyx.  

 

I want to produce author (year) or author [year] style references in the
text.  Checking natbib under Documents/Settings/Bibliography does not
seem to do this despite author-year appearing in the natbib style box.
When I go to Insert/Citation, the Formatting dialog box is grayed out.

 

I have downloaded a number of .bst files, for example, qje.bst, but Lyx
bombs when running Latex to produce printed output.  I am willing to
install whatever style files I need, but I don't have any way of
figuring out what I need.  Any help out there?

 

Thanks in advance,

question

[Simon Zsolt]

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have a problem about Lyx for Windows 1.4.4.
I would like to have my formulas appeared immediately at the center of the 
line (so at the horizontal center of the actual page), but I can't find 
the option for it. Since I have to take all of the formulas to the center 
one by one.


Thank You for your help!

Best regards,

Compilation error with Lyx 1.4.1

Hello,

I’ve just installed Lyx 1.4.1 under Windows XP with
lyx-1.4.1_win32_setup_v1.exe
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1/lyx-1.4.1_win32_setup_v1.exe . I
am using the sh.exe under cygwin, the Python 2.4, the gs8.51 and

Re: Navigation lost

I had this problem too as I was using a custom .layout file. I needed to

pdflatex figure size

[Simon Goodall]

Hi,
  I've just tried using the pdflatex export option to create a pdf and
my eps based figures are rendered half the size they should be, but take
up twice the page area. I.e. I have a graph set to 100% col width and
this should take up half a page. using pdflatex a whole page is used,
but the graph only takes up a quater of the page space. I also have a
couple of gif images which are correctly handled.

The other pdf export options work as expected.

Navigate menu in 1.4

[Simon Goodall]

Hi,
   I've just updated to lyx 1.4 and I can no longer use the navigate
menu to move around my document as it says No table of contents.
I am working on a multi-file document, so the table of contents is in
the master document, although that does not allow me to navigate either.

How do I get this working again?

Simon

Re: Navigate menu in 1.4

[Simon Goodall]

I am opening my child document separately and cannot navigate through
it. I mentioned the master document as a file that had a table of
contents in it, but still does not allow any navigation within that
file. This file contains in addition to included files, and abstract
section and an appendix chapter which do not show up.

In a possibly related issue, my child documents no longer show numbering
when treated individually. In 1.3.7 each document contained a chapter
with a beginning number of 1 (in both lyx and the generated dvi) now I
only get numbers when generating the dvi from the master document.

Regards,
Simon

Re: Navigate menu in 1.4

[Simon Goodall]

Hmm, the reason for the number being wrong in the outputted DVI appears
to be because lyx is setting secnumdepth and tocdepth to -1000 in the
.lyx file while the other files that I have not edited with lyx 1.4 have
this value set to 3.

any ideas why this is broken?

Maybe I just do not understand what happens. Here is what I do; maybe 
this is just the way to do it?
1) I have my database opened and displayed in a pybliographic window.
2) I use the button Medline search, and perform a search for e.g. some 
author name list.
3) The pybliographic window displays only the search results.
I don't know whether my database has been closed or what.
4) I copy the good results to the clipboard.
5) I re-open my database file and paste the clipboard into it.

Is this the way to do it?
What I expected was a behaviour with my database and the search results 
being open, allowing to drag results directly to the database, or at 
least not the re-opening after each search.

That is what I use, but I did not manage to have multiple windows / 
reference databases in it.
What I know from the M$ world is one window to do your searches in, one 
window with your reference database, and you drag the relevant article 
out of the search results into your database.
Can this be achieved with pybliographic?
You want to store your search results in a separate database file? As
far as I know it is not possible. Why would you like this? If you want
No. I want to be able to integrate selected search results into my 
database and then forget about the reast of the search results.

Storing them in a separate database seems to be the easy thing to me, 
just hit the save button...

to make a database file with all citations used in some article you can
use the pybcompact script included in the package.
Thank you, this script can be useful.

No. I want to be able to integrate selected search results into my 
database and then forget about the reast of the search results.

Storing them in a separate database seems to be the easy thing to me, 
just hit the save button...

to make a database file with all citations used in some article you can
use the pybcompact script included in the package.
Thank you, this script can be useful.

It is not clear to me want you want to achieve. Note that searching does
not change your database. I just shows only the entries that match your
search criteria.
Maybe I just do not understand what happens. Here is what I do; maybe 
this is just the way to do it?
1) I have my database opened and displayed in a pybliographic window.
2) I use the button "Medline search", and perform a search for e.g. some 
author name list.
3) The pybliographic window displays only the search results.
I don't know whether my database has been closed or what.
4) I copy the good results to the clipboard.
5) I re-open my database file and paste the clipboard into it.

Is this the way to do it?
What I expected was a behaviour with my database and the search results 
being open, allowing to drag results directly to the database, or at 
least not the re-opening after each search.

That is what I use, but I did not manage to have multiple windows / 
reference databases in it.

Flickering while scrolling

[Luke Simon]

I am a newbie to LyX.  I just installed LyX 1.3.4 on Redhat Fedora Core
1, and one thing that bothers me is how a LyX document flickers when I
grade the scroll bar and scroll up and down.  Is it possible to enable
double buffering or vsync or something else that will minimize the
flickering?

I found out more:

Calling qtconfig -- fonts there are two checkboxes:

  2) Anti-Alias Fonts by Default
Enabling them (and saving the config) corresponds to
  1) enableXft=true

This changes the fonts available to qt-applications, since qt now uses

 I am not sure about this. I am running qt 3.2cvs/kde3.2cvs under
 gentoo with fontconfig. I am not using any latex-ttf-fonts and all
 symbols are shown properly. Infact if i use the latex-ttf-fonts
 then, 'epsilon' symbol changes to ERT while all others are ok,
 which is very weird.

Hi,

I have a similar problem, though *not* after recompiling: I am running 
debian unstable with lyx 1.3.2 for weeks and only now (after some 
updates, including xfonts) I'm having trouble with math fonts - 
without any change of lyx version. Typing \alpha in math mode 
displays letters: alpha

lyx -dbg font
clearly shows that lyx doesn't find the math screen fonts:

Looking for font family eufm10 ...  FAILED :-(
...

Months ago I had installed the latex-ttf-fonts and they were working 
very well all time.
Now I also tried the latex-xft-fonts (see 
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/FAQ/Qt
), but without success.

And now the point is: If I run gnome2.2 as another (newly added) user, 
everything works fine, a 'lyx -dbg font' prints

Looking for font family eufm10 ...  got it !
...

Deleting ~/.lyx , I found that the problem is unrelated to ~/.lyx . 
There must be some (additional/missing?) parameters in the 
environment, or in the X configuration, or in the Gnome 
configuration, or whereever, which prevent lyx from loading the 
fonts.

Getting lost, I also tried adding the ttf- and xft-fonts to the X11 
font path (see
http://osr5doc.ca.caldera.com:457/GECG/X_Font_ProcAddFn.html
), but without success.

Can anybody tell me where lyx is searching these math fonts, or will I 
have to look into the sources?

It seems to me that there has been some tacit (?) change in the 
organization of fonts recently.

Thanks, Johannes

So there is overlap between present and not found fonts, except for

Funny.

Now I did the following:

and in another terminal on the same X system

Yes, for the failing user it prints, among others:

and since I installed the fonts on the system level, too, I get

 I am not sure about this. I am running qt 3.2cvs/kde3.2cvs under
 gentoo with fontconfig. I am not using any latex-ttf-fonts and all
 symbols are shown properly. Infact if i use the latex-ttf-fonts
 then, 'epsilon' symbol changes to ERT while all others are ok,
 which is very weird.

Hi,

I have a similar problem, though *not* after recompiling: I am running 
debian unstable with lyx 1.3.2 for weeks and only now (after some 
updates, including xfonts) I'm having trouble with math fonts - 
without any change of lyx version. Typing \alpha in math mode 
displays letters: alpha

lyx -dbg font
clearly shows that lyx doesn't find the math screen fonts:

Looking for font family eufm10 ...  FAILED :-(
...

Months ago I had installed the latex-ttf-fonts and they were working 
very well all time.
Now I also tried the latex-xft-fonts (see 
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/FAQ/Qt
), but without success.

And now the point is: If I run gnome2.2 as another (newly added) user, 
everything works fine, a 'lyx -dbg font' prints

Looking for font family eufm10 ...  got it !
...

Deleting ~/.lyx , I found that the problem is unrelated to ~/.lyx . 
There must be some (additional/missing?) parameters in the 
environment, or in the X configuration, or in the Gnome 
configuration, or whereever, which prevent lyx from loading the 
fonts.

Getting lost, I also tried adding the ttf- and xft-fonts to the X11 
font path (see
http://osr5doc.ca.caldera.com:457/GECG/X_Font_ProcAddFn.html
), but without success.

Can anybody tell me where lyx is searching these math fonts, or will I 
have to look into the sources?

It seems to me that there has been some tacit (?) change in the 
organization of fonts recently.

Thanks, Johannes

 Check fc-list can see the new fonts.

Funny.

Now I did the following:

and in another terminal on the same X system

user1$ su user2

fc-list gives exactly the same output for both users!

Yes, for the failing user it prints, among others:

and since I installed the fonts on the system level, too, I get

'Science' format

[Simon Frost]

Dear LyX Users,

I'm trying to get the styles for 'Science' (from 
http://www.sciencemag.org/feature/contribinfo/prep/TeX_help/index.shtml) 
working in LyX.  The template scifile.tex compiles just fine using LaTeX 
directly, but fails to import properly into LyX.  Firstly, it gives an 
error about a curly brace that it removes, secondly (once the offending 
code is clipped), the titles and authors fail to appear.  Any ideas?

Thanks

Re: Has anyone built 1.2.0 on debian i686 unstable?

[Simon Brown]

Hi Niklas Jose et al.

 Here comes the usual...
 
 - Did you issue a make distclean before building again with 
 xforms-frontend?
 - Do you use gcc 2.95.* ? If not, what version?
 - The gnome-frontend isn't very likely to build as is the 
 qt2-frontend
 - Did you use other optimizations-flags in previous builds in the 
 same directory? only -O works, inexplicably

Okay I'll confess partial guilt here. I tried again on Wednesday to 
build it again, but instead of distcleaning as I had done before I rm 
-r 'ed the directory structure and started again as it were with 
untarring the tarball.

It built without problem. The problem I imagine was 'make distclean' 
missing some 'muck' somewhere as it were. My libforms setup was I 
believe broken when I first tried to build lyx.

So I'm guessing that frontends/.libs/libfrontends.a(xforms.o): was 
built against the wrong version and was not getting cleaned as it were.

Though I am mostly definitely not a programmer, so that could all be 
completely and utterly wrong.

But anyway it worked and I'm happy, so many thanks!

Has anyone built 1.2.0 on debian i686 unstable?

[Simon Brown]

I'll rephrase the question to see if I can get someones attention this 
time.
 I'm trying to build 1.2.0 on an i686 debian unstable box and can't 
 seem to get around the below error. I've tried changing the libforms 
 version from 0.89.5 back to 0.88.1 but no joy and also just building 
 the xforms interface. this is from an attempted build with 0.88.1 and 
 with-frontend=gnome if relevant. I had a quick dig in the mail 
 archive and couldn't find this problem, so if it's old hat, my 
 humblest apologies.
 
 any help greatly appreciated

Has anyone built 1.2.0 on debian i686 unstable?

I'll rephrase the question to see if I can get someones attention this 
time.

make error

[Simon Brown]

Hi,

I'm trying to build 1.2.0 on an i686 debian unstable box and can't seem 
to get around the below error. I've tried changing the libforms version 
from 0.89.5 back to 0.88.1 but no joy and also just building the xforms 
interface. this is from an attempted build with 0.88.1 and 
with-frontend=gnome if relevant. I had a quick dig in the mail archive 
and couldn't find this problem, so if it's old hat, my humblest 
apologies.

any help greatly appreciated

Simon
