Lou The advice given by Steve Litt is probably the best, but if you want to do this in Lyx/Latex then the attached examples show a way to do it (assuming I understand your needs) This is a bit of a hack as Latex very much wants to be in control of layout. In the preamble there are a series of newcommands and renewcommands for each level. In the newcommand there is the indent for the header and in the following renewcommand at the very end is a leftskip which sets the indent for the following blocks of text. Change these to what you want. In addition you may want to change the font at each level in which case the standard Lyx methods can be used. As you can see from the pdf the numbering is in alpha/roman etc as defined in the preamble. If your set up is not doing this then query operating system/Lyx version etc. Hope that helps - good luck -- Steve Hnizdur MWE99.lyx Description: application/lyx MWE99.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

The reneacommands for section ... subparagraph contain formatting
commands which you can set to whatever you fancy. I've put some possible

Section references
Hi I would like to show in - TOC, - Headings and - the heading to a section a simple number , but when referencing it in the text body, display it as .. I have tried titleformat which just affects the heading to a section and overrides the setting \thesection which affects all of TOC, Headings (using fancyhdr) and references. Neither prettyref or refstyle seem to provide this facility. Ideally it would be nice to set \thesection and have some way to just format the references. There is an obvious clunky way of putting "Section of Chapter " in the text but I would like to avoid this if possible. Hopefully this makes sense and any thoughts would be very welcome.

Hi I need to included some Brazilian Portuguese in an English document. When I do this through standard Lyx methods, Lyx automatically adds the option "brazil" to the document class in the preamble. Unfortunately this stops the document compiling to a PDF with an error of Unknown option. The same error occurs if the whole document is set in Brazilian Portuguese. Any way round this other than editing the tex file or using another language?

MWE attached. Using Lyx 2.3.4.2 on Ubuntu 18.04
Hi
Yes, these options come from settings in the Hyperref dialog.
"bookmarks=..." = "Generate bookmars (toc)"
"breaklinks=..." = "Break links over lines"
"pdfborder=..." = "No frames around links"
"colorlinks=..." = "Color links"
"backref=..." = "Backreferences"
However, there seems to be no option for the "unicode=..." which seems
like an oversight. And the biggest problem is that according to the
manual:
Note however that some options (for example unicode) can only be used
as packge options,and not in \hypersetup as the option settings are
processed as the package is read. (p. 6)
So, unicode=false has no effect as an additional option.
My guess is that this is a bug in LyX but others might know better.
Well, the code is:
// Since LyX uses unicode, also set the PDF strings to unicode
strings
// with the hyperref option "unicode". (With Xe/LuaTeX and pTeX,
// unicode=true is the default, with Japanese (platex), the option
// leads to errors (even if the input encoding is UTF-8).)
if (!runparams.isFullUnicode() && !runparams.use_japanese)
opt += "unicode=true,";
That is: LyX outputs unicode itself in some cases, so setting
unicode=false could lead to errors. Still, it might be worth a document
preference on this.
Riki
An alternative might be to set the "Additional Options" via the package
options rather than hypersetup.
Daniel
Thank you for your responses. I can't say I fully understand why Lyx
needs to be as it is; I'm generally against hard coded parameters.
I will work round by manually coding the preamble.

More input problems with xy-pic
Hi
Following on from my last post about Lyx not allowing certain characters
with xy-pic in math mode, I am now trying to use this MWE code to
produce a label with an embedded linefeed.
\xymatrix{A\ar[r]^*+\txt{X\\Y}}
It should produce a label with X on top of Y. It works in an ERT fine.
The problem is with Lyx math mode. I can get over the ^ character by
entering
A\ar[r]\sp*+\txt{XY}
but Lyx will not allow the \\ between the X and Y and so the linefeed
doesn't work.
Is there some Lyx magic I'm missing or do I just need to ERT.
Many thanks

I think the problem is that you named your new arrowhead " >"

Hi
Thanks for that. I had taken the code directly from the XY-pic
User’s Guide. Now, having played with it ANY allowable LYX character
seems to work e.g. x.
There have been other instances where LYX will not allow input of
characters, for instance the tilde ~. I needed this in \ar@{~>}[r]
in xy-pic to produce a squiggly arrow. I eventually forced it in by
pasting into the maths environment. The screen shows LYX thinks
there is a space, the code view shows a tilde, but when trying to
input tilde from the keyboard LYX converts it to \sim which then
throws a compile error.
Cheers
What happens if you escape the tilde (with a backslash)?
I get this
"Xy-pic error: illegal : macro:->\T1-cmd \~\T1\~ not valid."
Yeah, that one's definitely weird. I had to reverse engineer the wiggly
arrow in the LyX xy-pic manual. It turns out that you need to use Insert
> Formatting > Protected Space where you want the tilde. In the math
inset, you'll see the marker for a space, but if you look at the LyX
code in the Code Preview pane, it will be a tilde ... plus, when you
compile you'll see that it worked.
Paul
Yes its annoying. I achieved the right code by cutting ~> from normal
text and pasting it into the maths environment. This seems to stop the
shortcut mechanism changing the tilde to \sim.

form 'A1', 'A2', etc.
So I add the following command in the preamble of the document:
\renewcommand{\thealgorithm}{A\arabic{algorithm}}
But LyX says it "thealgorithm" is undefined.
Any one an idea?
Thanks in advance.
Can you post a minimal example showing the current version of what you
are trying to change, and then indicate in it somewhere "I want to
change this piece here to A1" or whatever?
Paul
Hi
Have a look in the "Code preview Pane" at the Preamble for a command
that looks like
\newtheorem{thm}{\protect\theoremname}
or
\newtheorem{lyxalgorithm}{\protect\algorithmname}
(the one you have will depend on the modules you have loaded in Document
Settings)
In the first case you need to do
\renewcommand{\thethm}{A\arabic{algorithm}}
and the in the second
\renewcommand{\thelyxalgorithm}{A\arabic{algorithm}}.
Note in the first case many other environments will be affected since
they also use the "thm" counter eg Theorem, etc.
Hope that helps

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce

Bibliography keys
Hi I'm using lyx 2.2.2 under Ubuntu 16.04.02 and have just noticed something which is puzzling. If I open a file and enter a new line into a bibliography environment I get a key value inserted as expected. However the value of the key does not take into account the values already in the document. This means I get duplicate lines of the form "key "key-nnn"" in the document. Lyx seems to keep its own internal counter which it increments by one irrespective of which document is being edited. Hence, for instance, if documents A and B are alternatively edited, if key-10 is inserted into document A key-11 will then be inserted into document B and then key-12 in document A etc. Is this local to me, a feature or what? Cheers -- Steve Hnizdur

Page margins
Hi
I've been noticed some odd behaviour when the page margins are changed
from the class defaults. This has caused me some annoyance with marginal
notes.
Attached is MWE1.lyx which is a simple document using the class default
margins and with the showframe package and its output is MWE1.pdf.
MWE2.lyx is identical except that the top margin has been changed. Lyx
has inserted
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,tmargin=5cm}
in the preamble.
The output MWE2,pdf is not what I had expected as the side margins have
changed and the marginal note area is now much nearer the edge. Indeed
if say the outer margin is changed in Document Settings then the
marginal area can almost disappear altogether.
I solved this to some extent as in MWE3.lyx where I stopped Lyx
inserting the geometry pack by setting local layout, and then put
\usepackage[a4paper,includemp]{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,tmargin=5cm}
in the preamble. I.e. the same as Lyx did but with an extra option.
The output MWE3.pdf is better but still not just a change to the header
margin.
The includemp could have been includeall with a slight difference to the
output.
So, should Lyx automatically include this option in the usepackage call
or is there a much neater way to do what I want, i.e. change the header
margin without changing anything else.
Sorry for the length. Couldn't think of a shorter way to describe this.

The point is that the \usepackage(undertilde} added by Lyx to the

that undertilde.sty is not found. Hence \input{undertilde} is needed in

tex live doesn't include this package and so I get a compilation error.
On searching I found
https://www.tug.org/pipermail/texhax/2014-May/021130.html
which mentions undertilde.tex and this does exist on my system. Hence to
make things work without downloading anything I did
- Set provides undertilde in Local Layout (there really ought to be a
better way to stop/modify Lyx loading stuff automatically)
- Set
\input{undertilde}
\newcommand{\utilde}{\undertilde}
in the preamble
and it worked out of the box.
Is Ubuntu 14.04 unique in not allowing utilde to work?

Undertilde
Hi
I had fun using the frame decoration utilde from the math toolbar and
I thought my experience might be of interest.
When the decoration is chosen Lyx automatically includes
\usepackage{undertilde}
in the preamble. Unfortunately I use Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS and the standard
tex live doesn't include this package and so I get a compilation error.

I don*t know what a standard tex live would be, but under Debian,
The texlive packages I have installed are
texlive-base
texlive-binaries
texlive-extra-utils
texlive-font-utils
texlive-fonts-recommended
texlive-fonts-recommended-doc
texlive-generic-extra
texlive-generic-recommended
texlive-latex-base
texlive-latex-base-doc
texlive-latex-extra
texlive-latex-extra-doc
texlive-latex-recommended
texlive-latex-recommended-doc
texlive-luatex
texlive-pictures
texlive-pictures-doc
texlive-pstricks
texlive-pstricks-doc
texlive-science
and these are what I mean by standard.
undertilde.tex is in the texlive-generic-recommended package
(found with `apt-file find undertilde`).
So, after `apt-get install texlive-generic-reocmmended` it should work.
Strange, that the lyx package does not recommend this for automatic
installation...
The point is that the \usepackage(undertilde} added by Lyx to the
preamble doesn't load the undertilde.tex file. The compilation error is
that undertilde.sty is not found. Hence \input{undertilde} is needed in
the preamble and has to supplied by the user.

Koma and setbibpreamble
Hi I'm trying to include a long preamble to a bibliography using \setbibpreamble and Koma document class. Attached is a MWE. If the preamble is long and causes a page break then page formatting is corrupt and the first bib entry is lost see attached pdf. Is there a way round this? Many thanks -- Steve Hnizdur test.lyx Description: application/lyx test.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document

AMS math
Hi
I have noticed some curious behaviour recently which hopefully someone
can shed light on.
In a document with Use AMS math package automatically set in
Documents/Settings, when I enter display maths and input x=y followed
by cntl-Enter I get a new line with three boxes the middle one centred
under the = sign.
In a document with Use AMS math package set in Documents/Settings,
when I enter display maths and input x=y followed by cntl-Enter I get a
new line with only two boxes.
The only difference in the preamble is a \usepackage{amssymb} line.
Why does this settings difference affect the way array equations work?
Cheers

Default preambles
Hi
I've noticed that irrespective of which document class is used (I admit
to not trying every single one) the following is put in the preamble
automatically by Lyx.
\usepackage{amsthm}
\makeatletter
%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
\numberwithin{equation}{section}
\numberwithin{figure}{section}
\makeatother
Is this a feature of Lyx or my setup? I can't find where these things
might be defined - they are not in the layouts.
Apart from being strange in classes like Letter they don't allow
compilation unless the package amsmath is loaded as \numberwithin comes
from it.

Re: The documentclass Book (AMS) adds unnumbered sections to ToC
Hi
This is a feature of the AMS style. I had the same problem and AMS
wrote to me:
the ams document classes differ in several significant respects from
the basic latex classes, since their purpose is to support ams style.
one of these differences is in the handling of chapter and
(sub)section titles, which, for ams style, *do* appear in the table of
contents; to suppress them, extra measures must be taken.
the recommended approach is presented in our author faq:
http://www.ams.org/author-faq
the exact question is
How can I omit or change a heading in the table of contents?
the approach consists in defining in the preamble a command
\DeclareRobustCommand{\SkipTocEntry}[4]{}
and then invoking it immediately before the code that triggers an entry
to the toc in this way:
\addtocontents{toc}{\SkipTocEntry}
Hope that helps

and in the starred case #2 just gets set to \@m (which is defined as 1000).
