colored reference numbers in citations

[Michael Berger]

Dear Lyx friends,
I am writing a KOMA-Script Article with citations inserted from a BibTeX 
generated Bibliography.


The citations appear in PDF as: Kröger [9, 1998] in black.

But I need the reference numbers to appear in a distinct green color 
like this: Kröger [9, 1998].

(for the 9 in my example #33cc00 is used)

How could this be accomplished?
Thanks

Michael Berger

Re: Possessive author names in citations

[Christopher Menzel]

Just curious: Under what sort of scenario would this be useful? I'm 
asking because LyX allows you to cite individual references by date 
only. Hence, you can write Knuth's by hand and add the bib reference 
without the author name so that only (1984) prints. If that's all 
you're after, it seems to deliver what you want without requiring you to 
mess with layouts or use ERT.

The web page below shows how to modify standard BibLaTeX
to allow possessive author names in citations (use all three lines in 
the URL) :


https://tex.stackexchange.com/
questions/22273/
author-name-of-textcite-as-possessive

For example, suppose a bib file has the following entry:

@book{knuth,
author = {Donald E. Knuth},
title = {The {{\TeX}book}},
publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
date = {1984}
}

Ordinary usage might include \textcite{knuth}.

The line above would look like:

Ordinary usage might include Knuth (1984).


But with the code shown on the web page, the following would hold.

Modified usage might include \posscite{knuth}.

This would appear as:

Ordinary usage might include Knuth's (1984).

OK. I can get this to work in plain LaTeX and perhaps in LyX by using ERT.
But how can I add the possessive style as a Citation style in
LyX's Citation dialog window for citations so that all citations
can be done though the same interface and without ERT?

To be honest, I am not absolutely sure if this is possible, but it might 
be. I should add that I am not familiar with now biblatex is used in 
LyX. I will therefore assume that, within LyX, it looks as if you are 
using the natbib citation engine.


The citation commands that LyX accepts are defined in the file 
natbib.module, which LyX loads automatically when natbib is chosen. I 
believe you can modify this file in the usual way: copy it to you local 
layouts directory (e.g., ~/.lyx/layouts/) and do with it what you will. 
The syntax of the file is not as terrible as it looks. You will need to 
add posscite as a possible command to the CiteEngine authoryear section, 
indicating whether it takes optional arguments and if so how many. You 
will then need to add a macro for it to the authoryear CiteFormat 
section. That's where a little figuring out will be required, but ask 
again if you need help.

Change font size of inline citations

[karthikeya]

I want the inline citations to appear as font size 'smaller', so that they
don't break the flow of text much. The only way I can do it now is select
each citation, and set the font size individually. Is it possible to make
all inline citations (author year) smaller font by any single switch or
command? It would be nice if it can be done from withing lyx, or


One workaround i could think of is replacing


\citet{bibkey} or \citep{bibkey}


with


{\footnotesize \citet{bibkey}}

using sed, but I am not good at reg exps, especially with so many special
characters.

list of citations and multiple citing

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Hello,
lyx (2.x) allows to combine several citations (e.g. as shown by A,B,C). 
However, in the list of citations (outlinelist of citations) only A is 
shown (unless B and or C are cited somewhere else). It is a bit annoying 
if one checks for a citation which is not cited alone or at the first 
place. Could this be improved?

LyX 2.1.0: some issues with citations

[Graeme]

On Windows 7 (64 bit) (and Windows XP, 32 bit) I upgraded from LyX 2.0.7 
to 2.1.0 without any obvious problems.


In doing the upgrades, I first uninstalled 2.0.7, but chose the option 
to retain user preferences. Then I installed 2.1.0.


Both operations were carried out using accounts with administrator 
privileges, although I normally use LyX with a standard user account 
that does not have admin privileges.


Mostly LyX 2.1.0 performs smoothly, except that there are several 
aspects of the way it handles citations that are no longer as I expect.


1. With LyX 2.0.7, my default bib-file processor was set to BibTeX8, yet 
when I used LyX 2.1.0 I found that it had defaulted back to plain BibTeX.


It seems that none of the preferences stored in the file
userprofile\Application Data\LyX2.0\preferences
migrate automatically to the file
userprofile\Application Data\LyX2.1\preferences

Of course this problem was easily fixed, but I wondered whether this was 
intended behaviour, or if it is a bug in the Windows Installer (file 
LyX-2.1.0-Installer-2.exe)?




2. A more annoying issue is when you open a file that contains citations 
that use multiple BibTeX keys as the argument to single \cite command


Within the LyX file there are numerous instances of citations with LyX 
code similar to this:

\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand citep
key Smith2001, Jones2001,Smith2002,Jones2002,Smith2003,Jones2003

\end_inset

All these are handled OK, except when the number of BibTeX keys in the 
in the key text string exceeds 60. When there are more than 60 keys, LyX 
generates the following error message in the Messages window:
12:22:46.359: Document citationtest.lyx opened...\..\src\BiblioInfo.cpp 
(493): Recursion limit reached while parsing
and this is followed by a quoted string containing a large number of 
BiBTeX keys that it tried to parse.


In the main editor window, LyX shows an inset style of box (black text 
on a grey background) with the single word ERROR! instead of a truncated 
list of the relevant citations.


I suspect this must be a bug in the way LyX 2.1.0 now handles multiple 
BibTeX keys in citations. LyX 2.0.7 happily dealt with (and displayed 
correctly) BibTeX key lists that had significantly more than 60 entries.


Note that it is only the way that LyX 2.1.0 parses and displays such 
large key-lists that is a problem. If I process the LyX file to produce 
a PDF (using either the ps2pdf or pdflatex export options), then LaTeX 
processes the full BibTeX keylist without any obvious problem.




3. This relates closely to issue 2 above.

After an ERROR! inset is generated by LyX as it tries to parse a long 
list of BibTeX keys, it is possible to click on this inset and the 
LyX:citation dialog will open.


However, this widget now has a width that is set to about 5 times the 
total width of the screen, which means only a narrow central stripe of 
the widget is visible. It is possible to shift this giant widget across 
the screen to gain access to the Cancel button in the bottom right (and 
thereby to close the widget), but the widget seems to behave very oddly 
if you try to resize it.


I suspect this too must be a bug in LyX 2.1.0.

intended behaviour, or if it is a bug in the Windows Installer (file 
LyX-2.1.0-Installer-2.exe)?




2. A more annoying issue is when you open a file that contains citations 
that use multiple BibTeX keys as the argument to single \cite command


Within the LyX file there are numerous instances of citations with LyX 
code similar to this:

\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand citep
key Smith2001, Jones2001,Smith2002,Jones2002,Smith2003,Jones2003

\end_inset

All these are handled OK, except when the number of BibTeX keys in the 
in the key text string exceeds 60. When there are more than 60 keys, LyX 
generates the following error message in the Messages window:
12:22:46.359: Document citationtest.lyx opened...\..\src\BiblioInfo.cpp 
(493): Recursion limit reached while parsing
and this is followed by a quoted string containing a large number of 
BiBTeX keys that it tried to parse.


In the main editor window, LyX shows an inset style of box (black text 
on a grey background) with the single word ERROR! instead of a truncated 
list of the relevant citations.


I suspect this must be a bug in the way LyX 2.1.0 now handles multiple 
BibTeX keys in citations. LyX 2.0.7 happily dealt with (and displayed 
correctly) BibTeX key lists that had significantly more than 60 entries.


Note that it is only the way that LyX 2.1.0 parses and displays such 
large key-lists that is a problem. If I process the LyX file to produce 
a PDF (using either the ps2pdf or pdflatex export options), then LaTeX 
processes the full BibTeX keylist without any obvious problem.




3. This relates closely to issue 2 above.

After an ERROR! inset is generated by LyX as it tries to parse a long 
list of BibTeX keys, it is possible to click on this inset and the 
LyX:citation dialog will open.


However, this widget now has a width that is set to about 5 times the 
total width of the screen, which means only a narrow central stripe of 
the widget is visible. It is possible to shift this giant widget across 
the screen to gain access to the Cancel button in the bottom right (and 
thereby to close the widget), but the widget seems to behave very oddly 
if you try to resize it.


I suspect this too must be a bug in LyX 2.1.0.

LyX 2.1.0: some issues with citations

[Graeme]

On Windows 7 (64 bit) (and Windows XP, 32 bit) I upgraded from LyX 2.0.7 
to 2.1.0 without any obvious problems.


In doing the upgrades, I first uninstalled 2.0.7, but chose the option 
to retain user preferences. Then I installed 2.1.0.


Both operations were carried out using accounts with administrator 
privileges, although I normally use LyX with a standard user account 
that does not have admin privileges.


Mostly LyX 2.1.0 performs smoothly, except that there are several 
aspects of the way it handles citations that are no longer as I expect.


1. With LyX 2.0.7, my default bib-file processor was set to BibTeX8, yet 
when I used LyX 2.1.0 I found that it had defaulted back to plain BibTeX.


It seems that none of the preferences stored in the file
\Application Data\LyX2.0\preferences
migrate automatically to the file
\Application Data\LyX2.1\preferences

Of course this problem was easily fixed, but I wondered whether this was 
intended behaviour, or if it is a bug in the Windows Installer (file 
LyX-2.1.0-Installer-2.exe)?

Hi,

You are using the bibliography style plain, which is intended for use 
with the default (and limited) citation capabilities of LaTeX; for full 
natbib support you should use plainnat (or any other ...nat 
variant). This is changed in the settings for the BibTeX bibliography inset.

When I have to cite more than one bibliographic note per time, what I see in

For example, if I cite Me et al, 2000; You et al, 2001; Them and al, 2009,

How to search for citations?

[Andreas Hilboll]

Hi,

is it possible to somehow include the citation keys of a BibTeX database
in the search functionality of LyX? For example, I'd like to press
CTRL+F, type the name of an author, and be taken to the place where I
cited this author's publication. However, currently, the CTRL+F search
seems to exclude the citation keys, so that I can only find instances of
the author's name which are *not* part of a citation key.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated :)

Cheers, Andreas.

How to search for citations?

[Andreas Hilboll]

Hi,

is it possible to somehow include the citation keys of a BibTeX database
in the search functionality of LyX? For example, I'd like to press
CTRL+F, type the name of an author, and be taken to the place where I
cited this author's publication. However, currently, the CTRL+F search
seems to exclude the citation keys, so that I can only find instances of
the author's name which are *not* part of a citation key.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated :)

Cheers, Andreas.

Hi,

is it possible to somehow include the citation keys of a BibTeX database
in the "search" functionality of LyX? For example, I'd like to press
CTRL+F, type the name of an author, and be taken to the place where I
cited this author's publication. However, currently, the CTRL+F search
seems to exclude the citation keys, so that I can only find instances of

Sorry to take so long to get back to you.


@ Jacob,

Many thanks for both your and Ray's help.  I read through both and tried yours 
first and you were right.  I had thought that I had I had changed that setting 
but I had not.  For some reason I seem to hit cancel rather than save in LyX 
settings sometimes.  It took two tries just now. 


@ Ray
I am definitely going to save your post for my next emergency but what exactly 
does the code do? . Some kind of complete reset to default settings for a 
program?


I'm a newcomer to Linux and a lot of commands are not yet intuitive.

Indeed, the moving of the directories completely resets LyX (think of
how you will do the same thing on Windows; removing stuff from
%APPDATA%). On Linux and other GNU systems, ~/ (as dot files) and
~/.config are common config dumping grounds.

It's usually just a quick fix to check whether the program actually
runs with default settings (provided its files in the root/admin file
system have not changed), but I suggested it on the presumption that
it would be followed by a comparison of the original and existing

I seem to be rapidly losing any ability to work with LyX.  In the attached

Re: Inserting Citations

[William Hanson]

Ray,

I've solved the problem (not being able to insert citations or references),
thanks to the advice you gave in your June 15 message.

The key to the solution was getting to the important stuff that is buried
in Mendeley Desktop.  Under Tools  Options  Document Details, the
Citation Key must be checked, as you said.  And under under Tools  Options
 BibTeX, the right choices must be made, including the right path to the
location where Mendeley had stored my bib files, again as you said.

The foregoing was made harder than it otherwise would have been because my
version of Mendeley Desktop has no 'Tags' or 'Keywords'.  All the stuff I
needed to fiddle with was under Tools  Options.

Many thanks,

Bill

  By Mendeley you mean Mendeley Desktop, right?  In the LyX document I'm
  most concerned with I can find, e.g., the citation [Hanson2006]. And in
  Mendeley Desktop I can find the exact bibliographic entry to which this
  citation refers.  But I don't see any field called Citation Key in
  Mendeley Desktop.  So I'm stuck at this point.

 Both Mendeley Web and Desktop have a 'Citation Key' field. Otherwise,
 citations would have no unique identifier, and hence would not be
 usable in any application. In Web, it's Edit document details 
 Additional Fields.

 In Desktop, it's right below 'Tags' and 'Keywords'. If not, go to
 Options  Document Details and make sure 'Citation Key' is selected
 for every document type. It may be wise to make sure you're fully
 updated to the latest version of the program.

  But moving on just one more mini-step, you continue the passage quoted
 above
  as follows:
 
 
  If not, simply reselect the item in LyX bib dialogue from the
  Available Citations pane and delete the old citation from the
  Selected Citations pane
 
  But this is what I'm simply unable to do, because I can't find any way to
  get any file from my Mendeley Desktop into the Available Citations
 pane in
  LyX.  If only I could do that, I'm pretty sure I could solve my original
  problem, namely, getting all the :[?]s in the pdf replaced with real
  references.

 Look in Options  BibTeX. I personally have these checked:

 Escape LaTeX special characters
 Enable BibTeX syncing
 Create one BibTeX file per collection
 And a path where Mendeley will store the bib file(s)

 You may choose not to sync, in which case simply select a folder or
 the files you want and File  Export.

 Ray,


 I'm trying to make progress by taking mini-steps.  In trying to execute one
 of your recommendations, I've hit a snag.  Recently you said:

 Choose an existing citation in your LyX document, note down its name
 as seen there. For eg., Michael1999. In Mendeley look for that
 specific bibliographic entry, as close as you can remember. Then find
 the field Citation Key. The two must match.

 By Mendeley you mean Mendeley Desktop, right?  In the LyX document I'm
 most concerned with I can find, e.g., the citation [Hanson2006]. And in
 Mendeley Desktop I can find the exact bibliographic entry to which this
 citation refers.  But I don't see any field called Citation Key in
 Mendeley Desktop.  So I'm stuck at this point.

Both Mendeley Web and Desktop have a 'Citation Key' field. Otherwise,
citations would have no unique identifier, and hence would not be
usable in any application. In Web, it's Edit document details 
Additional Fields.

In Desktop, it's right below 'Tags' and 'Keywords'. If not, go to
Options  Document Details and make sure 'Citation Key' is selected
for every document type. It may be wise to make sure you're fully
updated to the latest version of the program.

 But moving on just one more mini-step, you continue the passage quoted above
 as follows:


 If not, simply reselect the item in LyX bib dialogue from the
 Available Citations pane and delete the old citation from the
 Selected Citations pane

 But this is what I'm simply unable to do, because I can't find any way to
 get any file from my Mendeley Desktop into the Available Citations pane in
 LyX.  If only I could do that, I'm pretty sure I could solve my original
 problem, namely, getting all the :[?]s in the pdf replaced with real
 references.

Look in Options  BibTeX. I personally have these checked:

Escape LaTeX special characters
Enable BibTeX syncing
Create one BibTeX file per collection
And a path where Mendeley will store the bib file(s)

You may choose not to sync, in which case simply select a folder or
the files you want and File  Export.

 Ray,

 Thanks for your careful and detailed response.  Here are my answers to your
 1-4.

 1.  Yes, I had gathered as much.

 2.  I was not limited in the number of .bib files I could add when running
 LyX on my old computer.  But you're right.  This is minor and can wait.

 3.  Yes, this is not an issue.

 4.  No, I'm not dealing with  master-child documents.

Your main problem therefore are citations that appear with a question
mark (?). Correct?

1. The bib file you used on the old computer must be the same on the
new one. Is it? Can you guarantee so? You may want to use a checksum
utility [1] to verify that they both have the same checksums. Chances
are they are not, and if so, proceed to (2).

 NEW INFORMATION:  I now realize that the .bib file I used (on my old
 computer) for the most important of my old papers is in my Mendeley desktop
 on the new computer but not in my BibTeX folder. Yet I can't figure out how
 to move it to the BibTeX folder.  A Windows Explorer search of all my
 documents does not find it, and the Mendeley Desktop doesn't seem to have
 any way to move it.

The bottom line is that the keys in the LyX document must match the
keys in the '.bib' file(s). Mendeley here is a third-party, and all it
does is generate the BibTeX file for you when asked. If what you do is
select the bib file directly from the folder Mendeley exports to,
chances are that you're selecting a new version where in turn chances
are high that keys are not the same as before.

2. Open up _all_ the bib files with a text editor. Search for a known
author, which you have cited in one of your documents but appears as a
'?'. The key is right next to the first curly brace '{'. This key and
the key LyX shows you for that particular citation must match.
Otherwise, you've run into a mismatch. Proceed to (3).

If you're curious, you can manually change the key in the bib file to
match the one known to LyX. Then preview the document, the citation
should now be visible.

3.  Check your Mendeley Desktop settings for where it stores the bib
file. Copy that file into your working directory (where your relevant
LyX files are for this particular document or set of documents).
Update your LyX files now by re-selecting every broken citation.

It is best to not load in LyX bib files that are generated by a
third-party application with no LyX integration, because it may be
overwritten. Mendeley Desktop, for the record, overwrites exported
(bib) files. That's why there's a big thin warning at the top of the
file.

Personally, I prefer to do away with any kind of integration even when
my final step involves KBibTeX (which does support LyX). I always keep
my bib files separate from what's generating them, and they reside
standalone among the related LyX/LaTeX documents. When there are
changes I simply replace them and update my documents accordingly.

Re: Inserting Citations

Ray,

I'm trying to make progress by taking mini-steps.  In trying to execute one
of your recommendations, I've hit a snag.  Recently you said:

"Choose an existing citation in your LyX document, note down its name
as seen there. For eg., "Michael1999". In Mendeley look for that
specific bibliographic entry, as close as you can remember. Then find
the field "Citation Key". The two must match."

By "Mendeley" you mean Mendeley Desktop, right?  In the LyX document I'm
most concerned with I can find, e.g., the citation "[Hanson2006]". And in
Mendeley Desktop I can find the exact bibliographic entry to which this
citation refers.  But I don't see any field called "Citation Key" in
Mendeley Desktop.  So I'm stuck at this point.

But moving on just one more mini-step, you continue the passage quoted
above as follows:

"If not, simply reselect the item in LyX bib dialogue from the
"Available Citations" pane and delete the old citation from the
"Selected Citations" pane"

But this is what I'm simply unable to do, because I can't find any way to
get any file from my Mendeley Desktop into the "Available Citations" pane
in LyX.  If only I could do that, I'm pretty sure I could solve my original
problem, namely, getting all the :"[?]"s in the pdf replaced with real
references.
