Template for external gnuplots and converter scripts for LyX [was: Re: Help with gnuplot xtemplate needed]
I copied gnuplot.xtemplate and the converter scripts in Python along with instructions for setup and configuration on? in? the LyX wiki: https://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/GnuplotInLyX Tobias -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Re: Help with gnuplot xtemplate needed
I got it myself after a lot of trying and comparing:
In my file gnuplot.xtemplate I wrote "InputFormat gp", because
"InputFormat" and FileFilter extension are the same in the case of Xfig
(fig) and Inkscape (svg), but not with gnuplot: "InputFormat gnuplot"
and FileFilter .gp works!
For anyone interested I attached my working gnuplot.xtemplate.
Sorry for making noise!

Help with gnuplot xtemplate needed
Dear LyX-user,
I would like to have a gnuplot xtemplate. To that end I wrote a shell
script gnuplot2pdftex.sh like this:
#!/bin/bash
GnuplotFile=$1
BaseName=`basename $GnuplotFile .gp`
GnuplotName=$BaseName.ptx
LyxName=$BaseName.pdf_tex
gnuplot -e "set term cairolatex pdf ; set output '${GnuplotName}' "
$GnuplotFile
mv $GnuplotName $LyxName
This script works on the command line, and I can input the resulting
file gnuplot.pdf_tex in LyX, and if I put it in a preview box I get a
preview, and the document compiles.
However, if I have similar scripts for pstex, png and eps in
~/.lyx/scripts and define converters like this:
\converter "gnuplot" "pdftex2" "$$s/scripts/gnuplot2pdftex.sh $$i $$o"
"needauth"
and have a file gnuplot.xtemplate written after the model of
inkscape.xtemplate in ~/.lyx/xtemplate, then preview fails and there is
no image in the compiled document.
Despite a defined converter for pdftex and pstex I get error messages
with lyx -dbg graphics related to convert:
Execution of "convert" failed.

The strong desire by many LaTeX-users (and LyX- users?) for those collaboration features are expressed by Emiliano Heyns, the developer of BetterBibTeX for Zotero, in an interview: "What I’d love to see is an online (because who wants to have to install stuff these days), real-time, multi-author editor, that would have a neutered view for my WYSIWYG brethren, a markup view for me (LaTeX or something else, as long as I get the stuff I care about), a vim mode preferably but at least something that syncs to offline files (don’t trust the cloud as the only place for your precious articles). LyX would be halfway there if the file format wasn’t so strange, and co-authoring (or even version management, really) is a non-starter." https://www.fiduswriter.org/2017/01/15/emilano-heyns/ I am a WYMIWG brother and like LyX a lot for hiding code from me as much as possible, but due to missing collaboration features I use it private only and would not suggest it at work, despite many advantages of LyX in features apart from collaboration.

Re: Forward and reverse search not working
Eckard, thanks for checking! In the meantime I found that forward search is working: I tried forward search with Ctrl + left mouse button as in TeXStudio, but in LyX it is right mouse button and then "Forward search" in the context menu. However, inverse search still does not work with LyX and Okular (in "Browse Mode" with Ctrl + left mouse button). Has anybody a working forward and reverse search configuration with Evince and LyX on Ubuntu? I downloaded the scripts from the wiki page and read the Readme - what are the necessary dbus-libraries on Ubuntu 22.04: "Assure you have the necessary python libraries installed (particularly python-dbus)" With "apt-cache search python-dbus" I get these packages: python-dbus-doc - Dokumentation für die Python-Schnittstelle zu D-Bus python-dbus-dev - main loop integration development files for python3- dbus python3-dbusmock - mock D-Bus objects for tests Is it one of those packages?

LyX, Non-TeX-Fonts and export with pandoc
Dear readers of this list,
I am referring to LyX 2.3.7 on Ubuntu 22.04 and pandoc 2.9.2.1:
I am able to export documents from LyX to docx or odt by means of
pandoc when I use TeX-Fonts (that is, the box "Do not use TeX-Fonts
(via XeteX or LuaTeX)" is *not* checked).
But when I check that box and want to use Non-TeX-Fonts, the export
option to docx or odt via pandoc disappears.
However, on the command line I can export the following latex-file by
means of pandoc to docx, eg.
pandoc -s -f latex -o Test_Nicht-TeX-Font_pandoc.docx -t docx
Test_Nicht-TeX-Font_pandoc.tex
%% Test_Nicht-TeX-Font_pandoc.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Liberation Serif}
\begin{document}
Dieses Dokument benutzt einen "Nicht-TeX-Font" im Sinne von
LyX.
\end{document}
Is it possible to export LyX-documents with non-TeX-fonts by means of
pandoc? If yes, what can I do to convince LyX?
Thanks for helpful hints in advance

\hrulefill (and \dotfill and others) are available in LyX via Insert ->
Formatting -> Horizontal Space -> Choose "Variable horizontal space"
and a fill and place this into a minipage. The visual feedback in LyX -
two vertical blue thin lines - does not really mirror the result in the
compiled document.
If you need this function oftentimes, like I do for exam papers or
feedback forms at school, you can define key combinations in LyX:
Tools -> Settings -> Edit -> Key combinations -> New
Copy the following into "Function" and assign a key combination:
inset-insert space \hrulefill{}

Herbert,
you are right for pdflatex anyway and for xelatex with class option
nols, which I just noticed in the tufte doc when I did a second try.

I wonder whether using Tufte Book class is a good idea. It does not
compile here with TeXLive 2023 due to a bug which is known for quite
some time, but there is no visible maintenance (last revision of the
class 2015). By contrast, revisions of the standard book class and
memoir.cls in TeXLive 2023 are end of 2022 and scrbook.cls is 2023.

Call the etbb-fonts the LyX-way as non-TeX-fonts (Document - Settings -
Fonts - choose etbb* in the list of serif fonts)? That way you can

Did you remove Debians "own" TeXLive install completely? Try to find out if there are packages left from an old install with apt list --installed | grep texlive and then remove those packages.

Wolfgang,
what I referred to is called the "Popup menu", "Blue menu" is
misleading, sorry. How to get it:
Tools -> Settings -> Edit -> Autocompletion, set "Automatic popup" and
Autocompletion in math mode true.
When done typing \ce in math mode spit out all commands beginning with
\ce, in my configuration \ce, \cent and \centerdot.

Wolfgang,
I can see the sign in my browser (Firefox) and in my E-Mail
application. It is not visible on screen in LyX when copied or inserted
with Ctrl-shift u 009c, however, it is there and causes the error.

Wolfgang,
attached your formulas in a consistent look with mhchem. I called
Libertinus fonts the LyX way via Document -> Settings -> Fonts: Use non
TeX Fonts, then choosing Libertinus fonts in the drop down list.
Libertinus Math is called by \setmathfont{Libertinus Math} in the LyX
preamble.
The error message is the result of the symbol set in front of the line
œ$\mathrm{Ca^{2+}}$ dependent kinase
Have you put this symbol just before the first $ on purpose? If so,
what is it supposed to be?

The chemical symbols look inconsistent, nuclear ancient Ca2+ upright,
Ca2+ homeostasis oblique. Do you have special reasons to avoid mhchem,
which comes preloaded with LyX? If you use the mhchem-macro for
chemicals such as \ce{Ca^2+} in LyX math mode, then you get a
consistent typesetting and a preview.

How to LyXify frequently used LaTeX custom commands
First Example: If you have defined a LaTeX custom command - either in
the LaTeX class file, in a LaTeX style file, in the LyX document
preamble or as ERT in the LyX document itself, e. g.
\newcommand\bigsize[1]{{\fontsize{50}{60}\selectfont #1 }}
then you can write all of the following in LyX Document -> Settings ->
Local format:
Format 66
InsetLayout Flex:KingSize!
LyXType custom
Decorationclassic
LatexType command
LatexName bigsize
LabelString "Big!"
End
Press the button "Validate", it should return something like "Format is
valid", then press "OK". Now you will find the menu entry "KingSize!"
in LyX Insert -> Custom Insert, and when you click it you can enter
text.
To assign a key code to the new custom inset, go to LyX Tools ->
Settings -> Edit -> Key Board Short Cut -> New and enter the following
line into the text field:
flex-insert "KingSize!"
Click into the gray field "Key board shortcut" and press the keys you
want to assign.
Second Example: I frequently need Rechenkästchen - I do not know the
English word - to this end I have in LaTeX
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand\kariert[2][0.5cm]{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[gray,step=#1]
\pgfmathtruncatemacro\anzahl{(\linewidth-\pgflinewidth)/#1} %
maximale Anzahl Kästchen pro Zeile
\draw (0,0) rectangle (\anzahl*#1,#2*#1) (0,0) grid
(\anzahl*#1,#2*#1);
\end{tikzpicture}
}
This provides the command
\kariert[size]{rownumber}
with the mandatory argument rownumber and the optional argument size,
e. g.
\kariert[8mm]{6}
results in 6 rows of 8mm sized Rechenkästchen. To test invocation in
LyX conveniently, write the following in LyX Document -> Settings ->
Local Format:
Format 66
InsetLayout Flex:Kästchen
LyxType custom
DecorationClassic
LabelString "Kästchen"
LatexName kariert
LatexType command
Argument 1
LabelString "Größe"
Mandatory 0
EndArgument
End
Validate and press OK, go to LyX Insert -> Custom Insert -> Kästchen
and press again. Enter a number of rows, compile and see. To modify the
size, right click on the number just entered und press "Größe" in the
context menu (or the corresponding key code), now you can type a size
in dimensions known to LaTeX.
If local formats have been tested as described in the two examples,
they can be written in a layout-file as described in the LyX Customize-
manual, chapter 5. All this is for text-mode commands. I did not get it
to work with LyX math macros.
Yours

Dear Paul and Richard,
thank you for your suggestions. I will resort to the "template
solution". This is not the same as invoking an "LyX inbuild" command
like \ce in any document, but for my purpose it is quite sufficient.

How to make LyX math macros available across documents?
Dear readers of this list,
in my worksheets in chemistry I have to write chemical formulas and
physical quantities very often. But while that is very easy to do in
LyX out of the box with chemical formulas due to the integration of
mhchem and its macro \ce, I am still trying to achieve something
similar for physical quantities with siunitx and its macro \qty.
What I have so far is a working LyX math macro (in LyX Ctrl+M on
\newcommand{\mqty}[2]{\qty{#1}{#1}}) which I can invoke with a keyboard
shortcut (Alt+Q for "command-sequence math-insert \mqty; char-left;
char-left").
But I have to copy this custom LyX macro from document to document
(siunitx loaded, of course). By contrast, I can invoke the macro \ce in
math mode with a keyboard shortcut without further ado in every
document and enjoy the immediate preview and avoid ERT.
How is it possible to have custom macros available across documents in
the same way?
Thanks for helpful hints in advance!
Yours
Tobias

ERT expression for dimensions of boxes, images etc.
Dear readers of this list, is it possible in LyX to enter dimensions in terms of ERT expressions such as \linewidth+\marginparsep+\marginparwidth into the dialogs for boxes, images (Insert -> Box, Insert -> Image) ? If I have defined a length in Document -> Settings -> LaTeX-preamble, what is the LyX way of sizing boxes and images with that length?

If I write \use_native_filedialog false at the end of my ~/.lyx/preferences-file, then it works properly, .tex- files show up (the look-and-feel of the file-open-dialog changes a little bit, though), with \use_native_filedialog true the problem in consideration returns.

Re: Importing files: Some file types (.tex, .odt) only show up under "All files"
Thank you for your response!
I did what you suggested and found the following:
Reconfigure changes nothing with respect to the problem under
consideration.
However, I tried Insert -> File -> Subdocument (? Translation of
"Unterdokument") -> Search in Folder ("Durchsuchen"), and here the menu
choice LaTeX/LyX-Documents shows .tex and .lyx files only, as it should
be!
So there is a difference in the routine calling a file type when using
File -> Import -> LaTeX (plain) and Insert -> File -> Subdocument ->
Search in Folder?
Thankful for any helpful hints

Importing files: Some file types (.tex, .odt) only show up under "All files"
Dear readers of this list, I am using LyX 2.3.4.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.4 and have the following issue: When clicking File -> Import File -> LaTeX (plain), a window pops up allowing to choose a LaTeX.tex file. However, when navigating to a folder which contains LaTeX.tex files and the menu just above the button "Open" says "LaTeX", no file at all shows up. When changing the menu button to "All Files" all files are shown. The same is true for OpenDocument.odt files - they do not show up specifically when the menu says "OpenDocument", but only among many others, which lengthens the process of file choosing. By contrast, when trying to import HTML, the menu just above the "Open" button reads "HTML", and all HTML-files in the folder are shown; it works as expected for OpenDocument spreadsheets (ods), too, and for MS- Word Office-Open XML (docx). Is this a local malconfiguration - if so, how can I reconfigure my system properly - or is this a bug? Thanks for helpful hints Tobias Hilbricht -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

Shortcuts not working, shortcut bar not visible
Hi lyx-users, When I saw some other people using LyX, they had a bar / line below the document which showed for every click / action the made the corresponding shortcut which would have caused the same action. Unfortunately I don't see such a bar when running LyX. Where can I make it visible? Furthermore, I am not able to use shortcuts in general.

How to enter text in math mode?
Dear readers of this list,
I am using LyX 1.5.5 on Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Hardy) to write down some
chemistry. I found the following hint in the LyX Wiki on using the LaTeX
package mhchem in LyX math mode in order to preview the formulas on
screen:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXForX (see the point Chemistry - Typesetting
formulae)
However, I am unable to reproduce the example mhchem.lyx given on that
internet site: When I type Ctrl-m Ctrl-m in order to get into text in
math mode, I end up in an mbox, and as soon as I enter a space after H+
to write something like this into that mbox: \ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}, the
cursor jumps out of the box. So I can only type single compounds, but no
reactions.
If I type Ctrl-m to enter math mode and then press Ctrl-l to enter ERT
\text{\ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}} the cursor also jumps out of the text-box
as soon as I enter a space after H+. Again, as a result, only single
compounds are possible with preview.
The LaTeX amsmath-package is available and checked in LyX document
settings. It is possible to enter pure ERT like $\text{\ce{H+ + OH- =
H2O}}$ and get it typeset by LyX/LaTeX, but then I have no preview.
So my question: How do I enter something like \text{\ce{H+ + OH- =
H2O}} in math mode?
Thanks for helpful hints
Yours sincerely
Tobias Hilbricht

Dear Erez,
thank you for your quick reply. I am afraid it is not that simple,
because what you suggested is just what I try to do with the following:
\ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}
\ce{...} is a macro of the mhchem package.
So be so kind and tell me if you can do Ctrl-m Ctrl-m and type in the
macro mentioned above without the cursor jumping out of the mbox when
entering a space.
I can do what you said with simple text, but not with the macro above. I
am using. If it works for you, do you use LyX 1.5.5, perhaps on Ubuntu
8.04?

mhchem is a LaTeX package to write chemical compounds and reactions. \ce
is a macro of mhchem, so you have call for mhchem in LyX under Document
- Settings - Preamble.
I would like to enter mhchem macros in math mode rather than in plain
ERT, because then I have a preview. Somebody published in the LyX wiki a
little HowTo and an example file mhchem.lyx:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXForX (see the point Chemistry - Typesetting
formulae)
If you open mhchem.lyx with a plain text editor then that somebody
managed to get this line into *mhchem.lyx*:
\begin_inset Formula $\text{\ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}}$
I can open mhchem.lyx with LyX and see a preview of the reaction. I can
copy and paste it in LyX and see a preview. But I cannot reproduce
typing this in with LyX 1.5.5 on Ubuntu 8.04 and I want to know if I
miss something, if it is a bug or a regression (perhaps it did work only
with older versions?).
I hope I could point out my problem?!
Yours sincerely

I think I don't really understand what equation you are trying to put
it.

How to enter text in math mode?
Dear readers of this list,
I am using LyX 1.5.5 on Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Hardy) to write down some
chemistry. I found the following hint in the LyX Wiki on using the LaTeX
package mhchem in LyX math mode in order to preview the formulas on
screen:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXForX (see the point Chemistry - Typesetting
formulae)
However, I am unable to reproduce the example mhchem.lyx given on that
internet site: When I type Ctrl-m Ctrl-m in order to get into text in
math mode, I end up in an mbox, and as soon as I enter a space after H+
to write something like this into that mbox: \ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}, the
cursor jumps out of the box. So I can only type single compounds, but no
reactions.
If I type Ctrl-m to enter math mode and then press Ctrl-l to enter ERT
\text{\ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}} the cursor also jumps out of the text-box
as soon as I enter a space after H+. Again, as a result, only single
compounds are possible with preview.
The LaTeX amsmath-package is available and checked in LyX document
settings. It is possible to enter pure ERT like $\text{\ce{H+ + OH- =
H2O}}$ and get it typeset by LyX/LaTeX, but then I have no preview.
So my question: How do I enter something like \text{\ce{H+ + OH- =
H2O}} in math mode?
Thanks for helpful hints
Yours sincerely
Tobias Hilbricht

Dear Erez,
thank you for your quick reply. I am afraid it is not that simple,
because what you suggested is just what I try to do with the following:
\ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}
\ce{...} is a macro of the mhchem package.
So be so kind and tell me if you can do Ctrl-m Ctrl-m and type in the
macro mentioned above without the cursor jumping out of the mbox when
entering a space.
I can do what you said with simple text, but not with the macro above. I
am using. If it works for you, do you use LyX 1.5.5, perhaps on Ubuntu
8.04?

Re: Is there any way in LyX to obtain a tagged pdf???
Does anyone know if there is possible to obtain a tagged pdf from LyX
using pdflatex or similar???
If you mean Keywords in the PDF properties: the hyperref package does
that: pdfkeywords={tag1,tag2,tag3} as optional argument does that.

Re: nopagebreak before itemized list
Did you try to put the part of your doc that should appear on one page in a minipage? No, not yet. And I fear there'd be some unwanted side effects with footnotes,... The second problem with all environments (e.g. samepage environment) is that I do not want to have the complete itemized list on one page but only the first one or two items. This ends up in convoluted environments which do not work... (see the attached samepage example) The needspace package works although it's not perfect: you'll have to know how many line the paragraph before the itemized list will need and with itemized lists it's getting kind of tricky due to the different spacing. So in the end a working \nopagebreak command would be the best - but it looks like this is a LaTeX restriction.

Command-buffer inset-insert syntax
Hi, I'd like to insert a cross-reference via the command-buffer. Unfortunately I'm note sure about the syntax. I found the following on http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/InsertingReferences: For versions of LyX subsequent to 1.4, you have to use |inset-insert| instead. The format is |LYXCMD:anything:inset-insert ref LatexCommand ref reference referenceName \end_inset|. There's also an optional name NAME argument that seems to work in docbook: |link linkend=referenceNameNAME/link|. But I don't understand how to do it. How can I insert a Formated reference to the label sec:test? Additionally I'd like to use the command-buffer to go to a label. In http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxFunctionList1-3-2 I found reference-goto but this functions does not seem to be available in 1.5.x any more. Is there an other function allowing to go to given label via command-buffer in 1.5.x? Regards Toby

varioref with option draft
Hi,
is there a way to use varioref with the option draft with LyX?
* \usepackage[draft]{varioref} in the preamble produces an option clash
* I don't want to use draft as extra document class option because
this influences other packages as well
* I tried \PassOptionsToPackage{draft}{varioref} but does not seem
to change anything -- I'm not sure if this the correct way to pass
an optional option to a package

Hi,
is there a way to use varioref with the option draft with LyX?
* \usepackage[draft]{varioref} in the preamble produces an option clash
* I don't want to use draft as extra document class option because
this influences other packages as well
* I tried \PassOptionsToPackage{draft}{varioref} but does not seem
to change anything -- I'm not sure if this the correct way to pass
an optional option to a package
Regards

Number of LaTeX runs
Hi,
in the attached minimal example the number of LaTeX runs chosen by LyX
is not sufficient: using clefval with \cite in the value 4 LaTeX runs
are necessary to resolve the reference.
clefval_cite_4LaTeXruns.pdf shows how it looks when the exported tex
file is compiled with 4 LaTeX runs.
clefval_cite_LyX.pdf shows how it looks when LyX compiles the file.
In some documents it helps to compile the PDF in LyX again (after doing
some irrelevant changes) - but in other files this does not solve the
problem...
Is this a bug? Should LyX be able to chose the sufficient number of
LaTeX runs?
Is there a way to manipulate the number of LaTeX runs?
Regards
Toby

Is there a way I can (manually) force LyX to run bibtex after the second run - or e.g. to force LyX to run bibtex in each LaTeX run? Or should there be a bug for a feature which runs bibtex again if there are unresolved references? Btw. just out of curiosity: how does LyX decide how many times to run with a file? Toby
Re: Number of LaTeX runs
Actually, the attached patch fixes the problem. Thank you! Is this going to be available in the next version of LyX? Toby
