Dear developers,

I'd like to thank you for developing LyX !

I've just finished my PhD in Marine Science and I used LyX to write the

in a few hours with the information on the web.


Thank you very much.

BibTeX citations won't load in 1.6.2 on XP

[Yury Davidouski]

Hi there,

I have created a BibTeX file using BibEdt for Windows but I cannot seem to  
be able to insert citations into LyX projects. The citations database  
seems to be loading fine yet when Insert/Citation... is pressed there  
are no citations available in the list.


I've spent a couple of days already trying to figure out what is going on,  
am I missing something obvious?

Re: BibTeX citations won't load in 1.6.2 on XP

[Yury Davidouski]

Hi rh,

I think I'll just email it to you in a second to have a look.

Also I messed around a bit with the Christian Ridderström's BibTeX example  
available at http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/SimpleUseOfBibTeX
strangely enough, the citations work within the example file, but even if  
you try to use his database in your own project the same story happens --  
no citations are visible.

You've done InsertLists and TOCBibTeX Bibliography, right? Silly  
question, perhaps.


If so, then there has to be some catastrophic error in the database  
that's preventing proper parsing. Try starting LyX from a terminal or,  
if you like, send me the database and your file privately, and I'll have  
a look.

Re: LyX vs. wordprocessors

[Yury Davidouski]

Hi Steve,

I still find myself tweaking LyX formatting a bit at stages closer to  
finishing of the project writing, but it's just maybe I am not proficient  
enough with it yet.

Hi all,

Last night, at Greater Orlando Linux User Group (GoLUG), I a gave a
presentation on using TeX for simple tasks like printing shipping  
labels. As

you can imagine, this was mostly an anti-Microsoft crowd. Interestingly,
several were already TeX or LaTeX users, and several criticized MS Word  
for

its easy facilitation of fingerpainting. Several also mentioned that with
LaTeX you can concentrate on content and not worry about form.

Just the same as I do on the LyX list, I brought up the fact that if you  
want
to, you can do styles based authoring on MS Word just as easily as on  
TeX or
LaTeX or LyX, and in fact I've written a complete book in WordPerfect  
5.1 and

another in MS Word, using nothing but styles. And of course a debate
ensued :-)

But then one guy brought up an irrefutable point which I think might be  
an
outstanding talking point of LyX. He said that wordprocessing documents  
often
get so messed up, format wise, that they can't be salvaged without  
saving to
text and reformatting everything. I've certainly seen such a MS Word doc  
-- I

think we all have.

With TeX or LaTeX or LyX, almost always coding errors immediately make  
the doc
uncompileable, so you see it right away. The one exception is when a  
document
class silently reverts to the default, and I showed how to prevent that  
here:


http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/surefire_layout.htm

So I think one LyX talking point to add is that with LyX, you seldom get  
docs

that format themselves into uselessness.
