LyX Errors: what can be the problem? Text Cross-references?
Hi
I'm pretty new to Linux (Knoppix3.3 - Debian testing/unstable) and LyX. I liked what
I saw about LyX and want to write my thesis in it if I can. However, When I try to
export my LyX file to pdf I get 4 latex errors all in this one place. What could be
the problem? This paragraph is of type Description (It is the closest I could find
to what I need below a figure). The two formulae is in math mode (with the little blue
box around them)
Fig.2 The relation between animal gain and stocking rate (Jones Sandland 1974).
Using different stocking densities they determined experimentally that the gain in
mass per animal (Average Daily Gain) drops linearly with an increase in stocking
density having a relationship of the form: Y = a - bx (Y is ADG per animal, x is
stocking density and a and b are parameters determined experimentally). The production
per hectare on the other hand, is a relationship of the form: Y = ax - bx^{2} with
the same parameters as above. In this example, up to about 1 animal per hectare there
is no change in productivity per animal, usually ascribed to too much low-quality
vegetative material (Morris et al. 1999) or maximum gain physiologically possible
(Jones and Sandland 1974). Then, when the critical stocking rate is reached, there
is a linear drop in production per animal. Assuming no change in the vegetation, the
economic carrying capacity (max production per hectare) is reached at a stocking
density of about 2.6 animals per hectare and if reproduction equals mortality (K) at
the point where animals only just maintain their own body mass, ecological carrying
capacity is reached at a stocking density of about 4.8 animals per hectare.
The four errors (I don't think they are exactly in the right places, but all are in
this paragraph) are the following:
1.
Missing $ inserted.
...s a relationship of the form:Y = ax - bx^
{2}
I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.
2.
Missing $ inserted.
\end{description}
I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.
(See the inserted text above.)
With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you
really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then
my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.
3.
LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
\end{description}
Try typing return to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X return to quit.
4.
LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
\end{description}
Try typing return to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X return to quit.
Is there a quick way in LyX to turn the view of the document from LyX (just formated
text) to LaTeX so that I can change the raw LaTeX? Should I do this at all (or is
there another way to solve this problem)?
Another question: Is it possible to use cross-references where the Label (that is
referenced) uses the first few words of the following text instead of a number and the
cross-reference then display these words (when I try this, it just displays an empty
space in the PDF!)? I want to use this for my reference list. I decided not to use
BibTex (or rather Pybliography) because I already have my references in a Paradox
database (in a Delphi program) together with keywords and my own notes that can be
used for searching... it looks as if it will take too much time to get the whole
database into Pybliographic (and I don't know how much of a searching capability
Pybliogrphic has). It is easier for me to just copy and paste when I need a new
reference in my paper.
Thanks
