Updating Lyx
I'd like to update to the latest version of Lyx (2.4) in order to use the new counter manipulation feature <https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX24#counters>. But I have a potentially delicate configuration in my current version that I cannot afford to mess up. What is the recommended way to install the new version without screwing up the old version, and allowing to revert to the old version if necessary? Currently on Lyx 2.3.3 and Mac OS 14.6.1.

I did find a solution. [I wasn't sure of the etiquette as far as closing a solved thread.] The key is to put a label inside the Subequation box but outside the math environment.

Numbering optimization problem overall and specific lines
Hi, Lyx newbie here. I'd like to write an optimization problem with an objective on the first line and constraints on subsequent lines (picture below). But I'd like a number label on the full problem and separate number labels on some (or all) lines. What is the best way to do this in Lyx?

change window focus with shortcuts.
Hello all. I'm not a completely new user to Lyx, but I have a challenge I hope someone can help with. I'd like to switch focus from the main window when writing text, to the spellchecker sidebar, then back, using only shortcuts. I cannot for the life of me find a command, or shortcut to do this. I can open the spellchecker using F7, but i then have to use the mouse to switch focus, and back again. I've been through the XFCE docs, and what docs there are for Lyx on shortcuts, but no luck. This probably something blindingly simple, but i've yet to see it. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: LyX efficient language/spell-check toggle
I have managed to write a serviceable script that uses LyX server and LFUNs and toggles between languages only with the shortcut Alt + Shift. I am quite pleased with the result, but I have come up with a slight improvement, that can be achieved by tracking the current language used to spell check in LyX. However, all the LFUNs seem to be "one-directional", that is they transfer information from the external application to LyX. Is there a way (for example, a get-language LFUN that I am missing) to echo the current LyX language in the terminal, so that I can use it in a script? Cheers.
Re: LyX efficient language/spell-check toggle
Thanks, Richard. That seems like a step in the right direction. In the LyX functions user guide I indeed read about command sequences. One interesting point is that you can toggle between languages using the language lfun, with no arguments. However, I still cannot find a way for a single shortcut to do exactly what I want. That is because LyX does not capture shortcuts used for system keyboard layout toggle. So, it's not possible to set a shortcut of Alt + Shift -> language toggle. I would not mind having to use another shortcut, as long as it's only 1, to have the appropriate results. For example, something like that would require an lfun sequence like: ; . I still cannot achieve the layout toggle. I checked out keyboard mappings a bit, but to no avail. Another thing that caught my eye is that you can control LyX from other programs using lfuns. So, I though as a last resort solution to write a bash script that senses the layout toggle and sends the appropriate lfun to LyX. However, in the lfuns manual, I only found a small reference to that feature at the beginning. Is there any detailed documentation about this? Cheers.

So, my question is: can LyX be configured so that toggling between languages is made by one keyboard shortcut, or maybe so that LyX senses the keyboard layout (GR or US) in use and spell-checks appropriately? A single shortcut can do more than one thing, if you use the command-sequence LFUN. E.g., Ctrl-Alt-A is bound to: command-sequence buffer-begin ; buffer-end-select which has the effect of selecting the whole buffer.

about python3 and lyx
Hi lyxers! I have lyx 2.1.2 in both Windows 7 x64 and Ubuntu 14.04 x64, it runs fine when installing. Now my work depends a lot on python, specifically on python 3.4 which is the default in both of my systems. I have managed to run python scripts within lyx and then the problem arises: lyx have its own bundled python distribution in windows, so every python script runs in the bundled version which is python 2.7, so my scripts doesn´t run on windows. I tried to change the default python version in lyx so it is forced to us python3 and then it crashed because a lot of its default scripts doesn´t run anymore (ie, the reconfigure.py script). I know in linux there is both python 2.7 and 3.4 living together and you can select between them, but in windows I can´t manage to achieve this behavior. My questions are exclusive (or not) 1. Is there a plan to move everything to python3 so we can finally forget the old python2? Or 2. Is there a way to have both python3 and bundled python version in lyx living together in windows? Any hints? Best Regards Descripción: firma_Alex Alex Vergara Gil MSc Nuclear Physics Center for Radiation Protection and Hygiene Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory Havana, Cuba

Hi
In the thread "Python Graphics in LyX" it was shown nicely how other
programming languages can be used to include grahics generated by these
into a LyX Document. That made me thinking: How can I do the same for
text files generated by these external code blocks?
Obviously, this depends on the format of the text (ascii, LaTeX,
others?). What would be the workflow? Does the text has to be in a file
(I assume) or could it be redirected directly into LyX?
Somehow I have the feeling I am missing something trivial here...
Cheers,
Rainer
Indeed! It can be produced as well, just define a python normal text file
format type (as pytxt) and in the converter just add from the pytxt format to
simple text format as python $$i $$o
in the python script you have to output everything to a text file using the
lines
import sys
outputfile = open(sys.argv[1])
outputfile.write('testing')
outputfile.close
Voilá! it works with text too
Moreover in the converter you can define a csv output format and python handles
well with csv, so I give you the rod, now fish something ;)
Cheers, Alex

Trying # python example.pygr x.eps I saw, I had to install matplotlib and pandas. Thats OK, this example shows now in lyx too. Fortunately it was included in debian package manager. Indeed, to obtain python graphics matplotlib is required, pandas is a robust library to handle with complex data. Both are in any package manager. The fact that this displays in lyx too is a very nice extra. My first intention was to have a module that insert python code and executes it, but this way is far simpler and reaches the same objective. But the try # python example2.pygr x.eps leads to ImportError: No module named seaborn After installing also python-pip and using # sudo pip install seaborn I got the expected output. This should be documented somewhere I think. Nice work. Kornel In this case my intention was to show that any other python library can be used as well, and it is expected a little knowledge of python from the user, since it is the user itself who will build its own graphic script. But your hint is valid, it should be documented how to obtain extra python packages too. Regards Alex

You define a converter under Preferences > File Handling > Converters which calls a script which executed files with the extension .pygr and generates, as you suggest below, an svg. 1.

I insert it in LyX somehow I don't know, perhaps defining a converter from .py to svg, but this needs to be inside a module or every python script in LyX will try to be converted into a svg!! So a module is also needed Use insert graphic and select *your .pygr* file as graphic - and Lyx will do the rest of the conversion - i.e. use your converter to convert the .pygr to an svg and other existing converters to generate the png for the preview and the pdf / eps / ... for the final copmpilation of the document. 3. LyX is the one who knows the correct size of the graphic so in principle if I produce a svg should be enough but in this way I need to produce a new svg every time the data change Correct - if the input data changes, you have to generate the graph again manually, or, if the "Converter file cache" is disabled, you just have to close the document and open it again.

There's a special script in lib/scripts/ that "sets up some things for LyX" first, or so it claims. It would be reasonably easy to do the same sort of thing for Python, if you wanted to do so. You'd just need to set up an appropriate format and then declare an appropriate script as a whatever -> latex converter. Then LyX will run the script and do as you wish with the embedded python code. Of course, as we've discussed on the list with respect to R, there are large security issues here, too. Richard you obviously miss the point here, or I was not very clear! it is not a different format, is a facility to have python scripts running within LyX framework, you have to see ipython notebook to understand what I mean, you will be surprised!! Basically to build graphs, for instance (and only a piece of what can be done), you add the (let's call it) "knitpy" module and then place a knitpy insert, write some python code that produces a matplotlib graphic and then when lyx compiles the document, instead of the code it is shown the graph, it also can be done in the lyx editing window, but thats a more dificult request.

None of LyX's HTML and xHtml exports are remotely suitable for flowing-text eBook production, especially because different people have different ideas of how eBooks should be built. I don´t think this is a "dificult addition" since there is already a module that does something similar for what I've asked, knitr module does this but accepting R commands instead of python ones, so maybe the knitr author can put some light to this discussion.

Sadly, after 7 years, not using LyX anymore and with little help from LyX developers (with some *laudable exceptions*) I can no longer justify myself to devote any efforts to support eLyXer, not even a few hours to solve reported issues with the latest formats. I am just not interested. My lack of long-term support for eLyXer has thus become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Anyway, I would suggest anyone who is working on any portion of a LyX > to ePub conversion talk with me.

It can probably be done in a few days: - one to understand eLyXer internals, - one to solve any stupid design errors that I may have made that make ePub support hard, such as configure it to use a different base.cfg file, - and one or two to recode all commands to output ePub. I would encourage you to take eLyXer and run from there, but the high probability that you will find strong opposition to integrate the resulting converter into eLyXer will probably mean that your effort will mostly be useful for you. So, my advice would be to keep away from it. If you are still interested I can of course give you any support you need with the source code.

Re: Pasting graphics in LyX 2.1 beta on Mac
- Original Message - I noticed when I had to paste some graphics with a lot of text that LyX (or rather the libraries used by LyX) seem to reduce the resolution of the pasted graphics (copied selection from Preview and pasted as a png-file in LyX). Anyone else experienced it, or could it be a setting somewhere in my environment? If so, does anyone have an idea of how to solve it (save the cropped file as a png in Preview of course works, but is several additional steps). All the best! Anders The best you can do in these cases is save the graphic in svg format whenever posible. Otherwise you must edit your graphic on inkscape to add the text manually and then export it as svg. If you doesn´t go into vectorial graphics you will definetively lose resolution and then the text will look awful. regards! Alex

You should have explained it, attached an image, or given a link where it is explained. The way I see it, if LyX developers were to have enough time to put in this UI eye candy, that time would be much better spent, for instance, finishing the job of making LyX a full outliner that can add, delete, change and move nodes.

On the other hand ribbon menus once you get use to them you find your productivity increasing, actually LyX has something that is like this: "The math toolbar", which groups several common operators in just one menu and have several menus grouped by functionality. If the ribbon appearance is problematic then you can create something like the math toolbar for every toolbar and put them in just one toolbar. I see people here who argue with this because they would not have everything in front of their eyes, really!! then why don´t you complain of not having every single option visible in toolbars? What I beg is an UI organization grouping icons by functionality, so the resulting toolbar (or ribbon menu) should be smaller and highly configurable. Come on people, not only M$ do this, even Apple and there are some linux programs that are using a similar approach right now. Static toolbars are obsolete in terms of modern GUIs. This request is not for beautyness but for increasing productivity.

3. ran sudo texhash
4 ran latex acrotex.ins
Reconfigured LyX and everything ran nicely.
Dear John
Thanks for your reply and your idiomatic suggestions. Now I notice that it must
be told in the document that for make it to work the AcroTeX package must be
instaled also (it contains the insdljs.sty file), this specific package allows
javascript code inside a pdf, so you can manage actions like (onselect,
onkeypress, etc). It is also part of MikTeX if you run this on Windows so this
should works on every platform.
The problem is that if you just put
{this.getField("Escuelat").readonly=false;}
it works in one way, but when you uncheck the box the linked text field should
become uneditable and empty. For this I expect that the code
{this.getField("Escuelat").readonly=!this.getField("Escuelac").checked;
this.getField("Escuelat").value="";}
shall do the job, but it isn´t. I even made this as a function, but nothing
happened. The rest of the objects work very nice but this kind of behaviour is
critical for the next step of creating action buttons.

Re: editing math in lyx
I would really love to be able to conveniently edit the TeX code directly - I'd be vastly more productive. I find lyx gui editing - as all other math editors - to be terribly frustrating and unproductive. I used LaTeX since 1980s, and the lack of this is the only thing that makes me think twice before deciding to use LyX instead of just using LaTeX. OOps, sorry wrong thread! You can edit directly the TeX code by selecting the equation inside math mode (ctrl+C) and paste outside math mode (ctrl+V) then you will have the TeX code directly (you can also place TeX code directly without to enter math mode). When you finished select again your Tex code and press Ctrl+M. Voilá. HTH Alex

Re: How to create a pdf template?
As a starting point:

but also:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/pdf-forms-tutorial
And as an example:
http://martin-thoma.com/creating-pdf-forms-with-latex/
WOW! Very nice example. It is just be needed to add hyperref support as
Kornel says:
1.) enable hyperref in document settings Document->Settings->PDF
options->use package hyperref
2.) in ERT add on appropriate place
add ERT as in the example from:
begin{Form}[action=mailtoi...@example.com,encoding=html,method=post]
to
end{Form}
I am quite sure that you have to use ert in Lyx.
This is not an issue, although it would be nice to have it on a module, but
I can use it as it is now. Thank you all!

The solution I prefer is then manually select your equation inside math mode, cut and paste outside math mode (it will be displayed as TeX code). These can be automated by the shortcut: command-sequence char-forward; line-end-select ; cut; char-backward; paste; char-delete-forward. hen you finish to edit select the whole code and press ctrl+m.

I don´t know if I am making myself clear, so I will explain this a little more. 1 Enter in math mode and add some equation/whatever. 2 Now I want to add some TeX code directly or edit what I have introduced, so I press the (requested) switch button and I could see all in TeX code. 3 I edit the TeX code and when finished press the switch button again (or just leave math mode), the result should be the new rendered equation/whatever I have edited. This feature would be great for middle to power users, off course one should only expect math code inside the math mode so it would be nice to clarify this in the manual if it is actually included.

I believe many people use image pasting heavily and it's a waste of time to open the save file dialog every time. So I really hope there's an option for this. There is an existing one which is marked as implemented as follows: Paste graphic from clipboard: prompt for filename/location (but have reasonable defaults to allow things to go quickly), save clipboard picture, and include into the lyx document at the cursor location. (Motivation: I take notes in LyX during mathematical lectures, and I often want to include figures. With a tablet PC, it's quite easy to get the figure into the computer in real-time, but there are many steps to get that figure into LyX -- it's difficult to do it in real-time. How can that process be streamlined? May also help to allow graphics to be stored within the LyX file, so the user doesn't have to bother coming up with path/filename for each figure?) → New in 1.6 but as the statement says, "have reasonable defaults to allow things to go quickly" It's not implemented completely , we can go quicker by not showing the save dialog at all, and allow for some default image display parameters to be set somewhere. (for example, I almost edit the width to 15 cm every time). Should I edit the Feature Request poll wiki page to get my wish delivered ?

about the .lyx formt
Hi everyone! I am a user of LyX, not a developer, but somehow I feel I must do things to contribute to it. So I want to open a thread about the .lyx format. The question is why to have a .lyx format in plain text? Isn't xml a better one? I know plain text is easy to edit but we really doesn't work with it since LyX do this for us. The advantages would be obvious: Insertion/Deletion of metadata, a better way of handling everything, etc. This is my point of view, so I might be wrong but I doesn't feel like that.

Did you look into the possibility of adding a new file format (say, .xml2rfc) and a converter from .lyx to .xml2rfc and a 2nd one from .xml2rfc to .lyx? I think current LyX infrastructure allows you to do what you want. Liviu Liviu I think Nico means to have a classic CTRL+C -> CTRL+V approach of typical Office products. In this case it should be say that LyX is not implemented to do this since the .lyx format is only plain text, so you have no way to add an image, for instance, inside it. The way lyx works (which is correct) is to have external images and then insert them in view by rendering. I also think this is a feature that can be done by creating the image (this is the classic metadata inset) in the .lyx file directory and then create the reference to it. Of course there is the complication of what happens if you want to delete it, this is a gray area. I hope this clarifies the question Alex

Layouts vs cls file definition (was: Lyx .layout language for nagauth.cls)

Why doesn't LyX just default to the .cls files definitions and abandon
the need for layout files?

Dear Lyxers
I half agree with this question, layout files are very useful when you
have to get more than one cls file definition (i.e a master document is
a book and a child document is an article and so on), but when you are
writting just an article the editors often offer you a cls file already
(ElSevier for example). I propose one of two solutions: isn't a way to
get layout files automatically from cls file definitions, if this is too
overwhelming I can handle with just the basics and then add manually the
rest for the first glance (a python script would be nice, suggested name
"cls2layout.py"); second solution could be that lyx can actually read
the cls file as an option to the layout file, this is not in lyx
philosophy but why not? It would be helpful in some specific cases like
this which is used a lot. Probably this is solved someway or someone has
already found a solution so it would be nice if it is published here,
I'm open at suggestions.

And how about the command
buffer-toggle-read-only
?
You may enter the command in the lyx-command line, or bind it to some key.
Kornel
I have found a solution
copy from Lyx_directory/Resources/ui/stdmenus.inc to userdir/personalLyx/ui
add the following line wherever you want inside the file menu in the
copied file
Item "Make Read Only" "buffer-toggle-read-only"
voilá, it works! Thanks to Kornel for the hint

Failing an in-program solution, how about marking the _file_ read-only?

Oh, but this is a linux-only solution, and definitely not for user who
wants to write without knowing too much of technical details, otherwise
we will use plain latex instead of lyx. ;)
A simple menu entry won't hurt anyone and will be helpful

Re: Inserting Citations
Dear William If you doesn't see any grey rectangle mentioning BibTeX bibliography then you have not inserted it yet, so you cannot expect to have references when you try to add a citation. So first of all you must insert your BibTeX Bibliography into your project Alex

conflict between LyX and Gimp for the use of python
Hello LyXers!
I have a system with windows 7 which have previously installed python
2.6 for the use of GIMP, this sofware do use python for a lot of things
so I cannot remove it from the system. I want to install LyX in this
system but when I do that all goes wrong because all the python scripts
refers to the python 2.6 already installed instead of the correct python
inside LyX. Is there a way to tell LyX that he must use the python
located inside it and not the python of the system? I cannot found
anything such a "python executable location" variable neither in LyX nor
in registry.
My problem goes further than just converters, which behaves wrong in
almost all the cases, it refers to the entire LyX system which use a lot
of python scripts and there are a lot of errors when for example
reconfiguring.
LyX 2.0.0, GIMP 2.6.11, python 2.6 in the system, windows 7... if you
need anything else to answer let me know.

Paul I think Mr. Ehud means to have the citation in one color i.e black as you suppose, but the URL in another color i.e blue as in: some authors, title, publication, available at _http://somewhere.com_ I agree that the full citation should be clickable.

Re: References appear with

Re: Layout for changing font within a paragraph?

LyX users,
I am trying to create a "local layout" that allows me to change the

Format 35
Style Revision
CopyStyle Standard
LatexName textcolor{red}

Font
Color Red
EndFont

The problem is that this applies to an entire paragraph. How do I
apply this to only a few words/sentences within a paragraph?
Thanks,

I don't see the point for doing this. Is it not easier to select the
text you want to change, then press the style button (the "ab" one) and
finally choose whatever you want? I mean I can change font family, color
, style etc

Apart from cutting pages at a fixed number of words, or doing some troff-like abomination (the kind you see on RFCs: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1866.txt), I don't see how that would even work. The natural way to do what you want would be to cut the output by sections; and frankly I don't understand why that solution doesn't cut it for you (pun intended). Another request I have received, and which I need myself, is to output section names as page names, the kind of dash-separated-titles that you see on blog posts. I should take out some time to work on eLyXer! Alex.
