Re: Calibri Font

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Brian,

have you googled this?

   https://www.google.com/search?q=calibri+latex

gives 94 answers. You would put the commands into the Preamble.


Now, however, comes the obvious question: Why? :-)-O

Calibri, besides being proprietary (and not on CTAN for easy
installation into LaTeX), is a Sans-Serif font.

For a documents Serifs are usually recommended for readability, whereas
Sans Serifs are more for presentations. Obviously this is
debatable :-)-O

There is a huge number of publicly available fonts on CTAN. You can look
at the font catalogue

   https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/

or experiment with a test document containing blindtext (lorem ispum)
and use

   Document -> Settings... -> Fonts

The pulldown will offer a number of fonts and if you untick

   Use non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX)

it'll offer a (limited) number of fonts and even show if they are
already installed. (You can install via the TeX Live manager).

If you tick it there is a much larger offering, which I assume are the
ones available on the OS (in my case Mac).

I myself am a NoTo fan,by the way, with Source Code Pro for Typewriter.

greetings, el

Calibri Font

[Brian Kneller via lyx-users]

Hello,

I am a newbie to Lyx and I am using the Manchester PhD template on the LyX 
website. Before LyX all my figures and text used Calibri font, it would be 
great if I could use this in my LyX rendering. I have been on the web and found 
several options however the solutions are dependant on several modules being 
present - what is required for Lyx please?

Thanks in advance ( if I am addressing the wrong groups [please let me know)

Endnote numbers marked with an asterisk

[Andreas Plihal via lyx-users]

Hi,

 

This works very well, thank you very much!!

 

But with eating comes appetite (): What do I have to do to add a small space or comma between multiple footnote numbers, between multiple endnote numbers, or footnote and endnote numbers? The reason for this is that the reader does not accidentally misunderstand a situation in which footnote 3 is immediately followed by endnote 1* as 31*.

Dear developers,

here, when using LyX with non-TeX fonts and output set to luatex,
preview of math (inline and display mode) is blown up (takes
unnecessary white space). When using XeTeX, preview works as expected,
that is, takes up the same space as in the compiled document.

I attached a screenshot. The output pdf is not affected.

To reproduce: Set up a LyX document with math and preview on and set
output preference to luatex (document > settings > output). Save the
document and open it again. In LyX, preview is blown up.

This is independent of the non-TeX fonts used, I get it reproducibly
with Fira Math, Cambria Math, Libertinus Math and TeX Gyre Pagella
Math. When I set output to XeTeX, save and open again, LyX preview
takes up expected space.

I don't understand what "LyX M3 saga" you are referring to here. No one is
reporting any problems running LyX on M3 hardware. You should
experience absolutely no issues running 2.3.7 or the latest 2.4.0 RC on any
recent Mac, let alone a new M3 iMac. Nor do I understand what it is you are
"fixing", as you said you were "happily using LyX 2.3.6.2" under High
Sierra on your current Mac. You only said you needed to upgrade your Mac.
So just get your new Mac, install LyX and get to work. :-)

Re: LyX and MacOS upgrade to M3?

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

I think this (Windows) is serious underkill :-)-O as this works out of
the box. I use Sonoma 14.4.1 and LyX 2.4.0 RC4 (but 2.3.7.2 workd
without any issues on my Sonoma 14.4.1 M2 MacBook Air)

Safari and Mail.app work very well, even though I use GoogleChrome and
BetterBird (improvement on Thunderbird) myself.


Turns out, that it was the external USB-C Hard Disk used for Time
Machine which caused the panic attacks :-)-O. Disconnected it and
voilà.

So went and bought a new drive and it also gives no problems.

Endnote numbers marked with an asterisk

Hi dear LyX community,

 

I use both footnotes and endnotes in my KOMA Script book. If I don't intervene, both will be numbered the same way. Unfortunately, the reader cannot judge from its appearance alone whether it is a footnote or an endnote. I want to mark the footnotes as traditional numbers and the endnotes as starred numbers. I use the Enotez package for the endnotes. How can I achieve this?

Re: LyX and MacOS upgrade to M3?

Just get the box, install your user from backup, then reinstall MacTex
and LyX 2.3.7(.2) and you are done.

LyX is a Universal Build and works out of the box.

I got me a Mini with an M2 and maximum RAM. No drama whatsoever, other
than that it Kernel Panics 5-6 times per day and so I am awaiting the
next software upgrade (ie 14.4.2 or 14.5) and if that doesn't cure

What is your platform ? If it is Wayland on Linux it is not possible yet

subpixel aliasing.


I have a patch that can allow to avoid that, at the price of painting

Just get your nice new Mac (running Sonoma presumably), install the latest 
release version of LyX (2.3.7) and upgrade when 2.4 is released, which should 
be quite soon. Both should install and run flawlessly on most any Mac running 
most any reasonably recent version of MacOS.

We have some mention of .gp files in user guide of lyx 2.5:
https://www.lyx.org/trac/export/f3c5ff9cb72c5231f1e1e81452e67d6f12dadecb/lyxgit/lib/doc/UserGuide.lyx

You can edit the footnote about gnuplot (with lyx 2.4 if you have it) to 
mention the
template in wiki page and its advantage - then send the update of the UG to me, 
I'll commit it.

Yes, it would be good if it gets tested on other systems (It works here
nicely on Ubuntu 22.04.4 with LyX 2.4.0~RC4 and gnuplot 5.4 patchlevel
2).

I copied text from LyX into Microsoft Edge co-pilot following

I used command: "Can you check this text for spelling errors and grammer 
errors?", and passed in the text to check *after* a line break (Ctrl+Enter, I 
think), and then clicked on the start button.

The results seems to be quite good, although it "fixed" a handful of errors 
that were not really errors, but rather words that co-pilot didn't know (some 
technical words from dna analysis).

The "downside" of this procedure is that some structure was lost in the copying

Hello,

I've decided to do my note-taking (Zettelkasten) by just using pen & paper and 
when I want to produce some context I'll just use LyX - exporting to markdown 
when I want something for the web (using Tiki
CMS) or LyX/LaTeX for writing articles (pdfs), slide-presentations, books…

However, being non-native speaker/writer I do find useful to use some grammar 
checkers.

To support LanguageTool I've subscribed to Premium version, but found out that 
despite being open-source etc. it has its limitations (see e.g. 
https://github.com/valentjn/ltex-ls/issues/215).

Otoh, I've a licence for proprietary Antidote
(https://www.druide.com/en) which can check text provided as e.g.
markdown, LaTeX...

Now I wonder if you have any suggestion how to review lyx-gc to either support 
newer versions of LanguageTool or to use Antidote's ability to grammar-check 
LaTeX markup considering that lyx-gc was using chktex to do the task.

Any other suggestion how to add grammar-check feature to LyX?


Sincerely,

Ok, I see. I think it would be good to put this explanation in the
wiki.

Apart from that, I could upload your scripts into wiki upload section
if you want to just link them. And we could also mention in in our
manuals if you send me the pach :) Up to you.

I could even see something like that landing as part of lyx 2.5,
if there is demand (or/and some active dev who would review/use

Aw: Re: Index is not displayed

[Andreas Plihal via lyx-users]

Hi Riki,

 

many thanks for your response. I have a few questions about your suggestions that I would like to quote:

 

 

    I have sometimes had trouble with the index not displaying the first time I export a file. If I change something trivial (add a space at the end of a paragraph, say) and re-export, then it appears.

 

I have already made many, many changes to my 250-page book, which is far from finished. There will probably have been spaces at the end of some paragraphs. Unfortunately that had no effect.

 

   One way to try to debug this would be to export the file to LaTeX and run everything manually. 

 

Unfortunately I don't understand this: How do I export the file to LaTeX and how do I do everything manually?

 

   Or just launch LyX from a terminal, and watch the output when you export. 

 


How do I start LyX from a terminal? And how do I observe the output when exporting?


Andreas

I can't find the xindex processor you mentioned in my selection list. Instead I find xindy. Did you perhaps mean that? It doesn't work with xindy either.

 

Even if, as you suggested, I use makeindex as the processor and enter the option "-s german.ist" (Jürgen commented that he cannot find german.ist on his computer), the index is not displayed.

Help Please

[Brian Kneller via lyx-users]

Hi thanks for the responses they have been most useful. I have a few questions 
below:

 I have decided to use the Manchester Uni thesis format as its very near the 
London Uni version.  I think I am running into unnecessary difficulties because 
I am using my existing directory structure and Lyx  has a preferred in 
/Library/Application Support/Lyx-2.3.  I have not found a preferred structure 
is there one?
 I am stripping out the bits I don’t want from the Thesis Template such as  
figures , headings , labels etc all have an index of some form where should 
these be stored &  how do I ensure these are reset or can I copy the template 
into the template subdirectory , which is currently empty and then start a new 
doc from this.
 I have loaded revtex4-1 into the shared area subdir but cannot see it from the 
Doc/settings in the lyx main menu should it be there?
 I like the use of Letterine for the first char of a section, how is this 
\lettrine{I}{n}and the following invoked :--   Figure~\ref{shuffle_diagram}; 
\label{Shuffle} and where is the definitions of these –I have not found (yet) 
where this is described an indication where I could look would be helpful. I 
suspect they are under the Lyx-Code environment in the dropdown top lefthand 
side of menu – but there is no list below it.

 Sorry for these simple questions but I need to complete this soon

 

Many Thanks

Re: Help with gnuplot xtemplate needed

[Tobias Hilbricht]

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

[Tobias Hilbricht]

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.
Systemcall.cpp (306): Systemcall: 'python3 -tt "/usr/local/share/lyx-

Hm, I don’t have libhunspell-dev installed but I definitely have spellchecking

Math equations at least work fine the other way around I.e. LyX to Word if you

Here is a page with thesis templates for LyX
https://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Thesis

If your university has a latex template, you can usually adapt that to LyX with 
some combination of using the Document->Settings->Preamble and the LyX layout 
file.

Thank you for the suggestion. I finally got the bright idea of looking

Hi,

To compile with support for the installed hunspell, you need to install 
the libhunspell-dev package.

It should not be difficult to convert the main bulk of the text. You can 
export LaTeX from LibreOffice or use Pandoc to convert Word to LaTeX, 
then import the LaTeX document into LyX.


I will add that this is true if your Word document uses styles for 
things like sections. Also, I am not sure what is going to happen if you 
have math equations.

You could also consider a paid solution:

I have no idea what it supports. You might want to contact the author.

Thank you for the suggestion. I finally got the bright idea of looking through 
the configure script for relevant flags and found “--with-included-hunspell”. 
Apparently, by default the script looks for an installed version of hunspell 
instead of using the version that’s included in the distribution and, for some 
reason, it wasn’t able to find my installed version of hunspell. But 
configuring with the above flag did the trick. My document is now nicely 
littered with wavy red underlines (as desired!). :-)

then import the LaTeX document into LyX.


Graphics will be a somewhat different matter. They'll need to be in a 
format LaTeX can handle, and I'm not sure how well the automated 
conversion will handle that.


Citations will also need attention. I would guess that Bookends can 
export the BibTeX format, but the ciations themselves may or may not 
translate smoothly and need manual correction. It may help to open the 
LyX file in a simple text editor and use search and replace to fix 
citation keys.


Whether there's a good thesis template depends upon your specific needs.

LyX v2.4.0 RC4 -> Table styles??

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

I've read large portions of the documentation, and am eager to try the Table 
style facility of LyX v2.4.0. I'm on Windows 11, and play with RC4.



When I do Insert/Table…, this is what I get.

[cid:image001.png@01DA9106.80E67870]



In the Style menu, “Default” is the only possible option. If I click on the 
[cid:image002.png@01DA9106.80E67870]  icon, the only possibility is to choose 
the table size.



If I insert the table and right-click on it, everything related to other styles 
than the default is grayed out:

[cid:image003.png@01DA9106.B1A0AEE0]



  *   I’m confused. What is it that I do that is incorrect?

The script that you call can run any code using the gnuplot "system"
call. That is the same as having access to a shell...

If the gnuplot files that you use are your own, or from one that you trust, 
then there is no risk... or actually the same risk that you had if you run the

LyX v2.4 RC4 - keyboard shortcut

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

I just discovered the “character” shortcuts Alt + C…, e.g., Alt + C R for 
mathroman in math.



  *   I’m a touch typist, so I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts over menus
  *   I’m not a pianist, so I don’t have extremely independent movement of 
fingers
  *   Because the “Alt” key is on the lefthand side of the keyboard and the “C” 
 key also is on the lefthand side, this makes it very awkward to hold down the 
Alt key and at the same time hold down the C key.
  *   This difficulty is increased by that the Alt key should be hit with the 
*middle finger* (which must be bent in an awkward way to hit the Alt key). The 
problem is much less pronounced with the Ctrl key, which is hit with the pinkie.



Probably not a popular suggestion, but it would be much simpler to use Alt with 
a key on the righthand side of the keyboard, e.g., replacing Alt+C with Alt+K.

RE: LyX v2.4.0 RC4 -> Unicode in Program Listing (again...)

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

OK… I just found I had put the “-shell-escape” string in the wrong cell…

I have now changed the preferences, and inserted this string in both of the 
XeTeX and LuaTeX converters from LaTeX to PDF.

Now, I get the (expected) warning that using the “-shell-escape” string is 
*dangerous*.

Question 1:

  *   Dangerous, because LyX is more likely to *crash*, or
  *   Dangerous, because it opens up my computer to hacking??

Experience – here is some listing in LyX:
[cid:image003.png@01DA90D8.A23B6C70]
This expression is taken from a Jupyter Notebook running in VSCode (language: 
Julia), where the symbols are created by “\frakm + TAB \dot + TAB = m\dot + TAB 
v”
…and here is what it looks like when I use XeTeX/LuaTeX:

[cid:image004.png@01DA90D8.F0F27C50]

Questions 2:

  *   Could I expect a better response if I install a font that supports 
Unicode, and specifies this font in the fonts scheme of Listings?
  *   If I install such a font with Unicode support (e.g., JuliaMono), would 
that rule out using XeTeX so that I should use LuaTeX?

Question 3:

  *   If I should use LuaTeX, how can I change LyX so that issuing command 
Ctrl+r produces the PDF using LuaTeX?

In xcolor, Gray (with first letter in uppercase) is a color model, not a color. 
This can be changed by the option “svgnames” or by the option “dvipsnames”. 
Since here xolor is called by tikz, it is best to give this as an option to the 
documentclass. This worked for me, with pdflatex.

color names make trouble

Hi,

 

I'm working on a KOMA script book. It contains over a hundred graphics. One graphic is particularly complex and I've been working on it for several weeks. I drew about 50 curves in it, all of which are made point by point according to a complicated scheme: 

 

   \draw [color=Gray] (0,1) -- (1,2) -- (2,3) -- (3,4); 

 

This has always worked very well so far. But a few days ago I suddenly got an error message. 

 

   Package tikz Error: Giving up on this path. Did you forget a semicolon?

 

I have largely isolated the error (I am attaching the associated file). Now I'm faced with the fact that the error is apparently caused by the color names (RubineRed, Gray etc.) that I've been using without any problems for over a year! What is suddenly going on in the LYX/LATEX world?

One way to try to debug this would be to export the file to LaTeX and

In your preamble you have
- \emergencystretch 1.5em

This is _not_ a good idea. Should only be used in _rare cases_ if TeX is not
able to justify a paragraph. Then you can use instead

\begin{sloppypar}
text...
\end{sloppypar}

With a global setting of emergencystretch you get Word-like documents ...

- \setlength{\parskip}{\medskipamount}

\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}

This is nonsense for KOMAScript documents. Use the optional class setting

parskip=half-



- You are using the font LinixLibertine which is for ages
obsolet. Use
Libertinus Serif and Libertinus Sans instead.


- For your options of your makeindex you have:

-s german.ist -t MWE_Index.ilg -o MWE_Index.idx

That's wrong! You define -o MWE_Index.idx as output file, the reason
why you overwrite the input datafile, which is by default MWE_Index.idx.
Use only

-s german.ist

oder simply xindex as Indexprocessor with optional argument

I think it's fair to say that we do, too. It's our policy to change such

the developers, at least.

You can make global settings in Document> Settings> Listings.


Also, I'm using a couple of computer languages that are not supported by 
Program Listing...
* Modelica (for specifying mathematical models)

Is there an ASCII file where it is possible to add specifications for more 
computer languages so that they show up in the Program Listing settings?


Unfortunately, that is hard-coded. It would make a lot of sense for it 
not to be, but be configurable, but that would take some doing (though I 
doubt it would be hard to do). But it would be a format change, so not 
doable until 2.5. But please do file an enhancement request if you wish.

I see this in your settings:

-s german.ist -t MWE_Index.ilg -o MWE_Index.idx


of these, german.ist does not exist at least on my system, and "-o
MWE_Index.idx" looks superfluous.

Removing these two arguments, i.e. reducing it all to
-t MWE_Index.ilg

gives me the index in output.

You can change the document language. See the panell

RE: LyX 2.4.0 RC4 - bug? Abstract headline is missing + bits and pieces

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

A difference - perhaps -- between a missing Abstract label and the Chapter 
label in *LyX* is that sections headings are quite big compared to the standard 
text, so it is easy to see the difference. While the abstract text font is only 
marginally smaller than the standard text font, so it is more difficult to see 
what it is.

*If* one sets "abstract=on" to enforce "Abstract" to be printed in the PDF 
file, it would perhaps be natural if this text also shows up in LyX.
--
Anyways, this is not a major problem -- I can always switch to the standard 
article style.
--
Thanks a lot for your great job with creating v. 2.4. I really appreciate all 
the work you have put into it, and look forward to start reading the manuals. 
Although I've used LyX for some 10 years or so, I think it will be useful to 
re-read the documentation to better familiarize myself with what is new.

So far,...
* I greatly appreciate that you have not changed the main parts of the user 
interface. I hate it when developers come out with a new version of a tool, and 
the user doesn't recognize where the menus are, etc.

* I have already used the improved system for finding missing citations and 
broken references.

* The search system looks improved.

For some reason, scrclass.inc explicitly removes the heading:

Input stdstruct.inc

Style Abstract
     LabelType No_Label
End

If we're agreed that's wrong, it's easy enough to fix.

On 2.3.7.1 The word "Abstract" appears on the LyX screen when the document
is scrreport (KOMA-Script Report) and on the PDF (pdflatex) but only in the
body text font and left-aligned. It used to be in a section font and

As far as I know, KOMA is independent of LyX. So I don't understand why 
inserting the label "Abstract" in the LyX *editor* can be seen as overriding 
KOMA's default settings. 

At least not if the user inserts the command "abstract=on" in the settings.

No, we don't want to override KOMA's default settings, which are well

OK -- in 2.3.7, I did not use KOMA script article, but standard LaTeX article. 
And there the label shows up in my installation. 

The "problem" to me is that it is not just that the "label" is missing in the 
LyX editor, but the word "Abstract" does not show up in the pdf file either.

I tested in 2.3.x and it does not show there as well.
So at least the change is not specific to lyx 2.4.

If you change to the standard class then the label is there both for
2.3 and 2.4.

So the question is if the label should be there for consistency.
I am inclined to say yes but I have no strong feelings about this. :-)

trac accounts

[Pavel Sanda]

Hi all,

we tried to open our trac for registration again and got thousands of new
accounts during last weeks. Tonight those accounts started creating bug 
reports which were essentially ads.

I banned the registration (again) and made big cleanup. trac interface
is unfortunately such that large part had to be done manually and thus
error-prone. I probably removed few real accounts. If you can't login, 
it's probably my mistake and let me know to re-create it.

Re: Lyx error

[Paolo M]

Your lyx file raises the same error.
The option 'Use non-TeX fonts' cannot be selected, although the required
fontspec package is installed.
As i try to view the pdf rendering i get:

"The external program

xelatex

finished with an error. It is recommended you fix the cause of the external
program's error (check the logs). "


What is xelatex?
I suspect my texlive installation cannot accept spaces in file names and
directories any more.

thank you

Folsk,

To find the command needed, use View -> Messages Pane, and then insert the
cross-reference label manually.  You should see `dialog-show-new-inset ref`
appear in the Messages pane.  This is the command that you need to add to
the shortcut's Function specification when you go to Preferences -> Editing
-> Shortcuts -> New.

Hope this helps,
Joel

Not only that, but on my computer using LyX 2.3.6.1 on an up-to-date
Void Linux, your document works perfectly. But you knew that already.

In order to use Noto fonts, I took your document in LyX and did the
following:

1) On Document>Settings>Fonts I checked "Use non-TeX fonts.

2) Document>Settings>Fonts>Roman I chose Noto Serif [GOOG]

3) Document>Settings>Fonts>Sans Serif I chose Noto Sans [GOOG]

4) Document>Settings>Fonts>Typewriter I chose Noto Sans Mono [GOOG]

5) Document>View [PDF (LuaTeX)] to compile and view the result.

I've attached my doc with Noto fonts.

Maybe you'll get lucky and my file will compile. Try it.

RE: LyX 2.4.0 & Jupyter Notebooks

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

Experimenting with LyX 2.4 RC4... Specifically, I'm testing whether there is 
Unicode support.



  *   I have successfully pasted in a Unicode character from VSCode into a LyX 
2.4 RC4 document, so this seems to work:

[cid:image001.png@01DA8B60.FFE8A950]

Here, the first symbol is produced in VSCode using "\frakm + TAB", and then 
pasted into a LyX text line.  The second occurrence (slightly different in 
form) is produced as in-line math "\mathfrak{m}".



I can also decorate this symbol with a dot on top, "\frakm + TAB \dot + TAB" in 
VSCode. When I paste this symbol into LyX, the dot on top of "\frakm + TAB" is 
somewhat skewed to the right.



OK - so Unicode in LyX seems to work. It also works if I preview the document 
as a PDF file.

--

Next, I try to use Unicode in listings. That does not work at the moment... 
Here is what I do:

  *   Insert/Program Listing
  *   I paste the "\frakm + TAB" symbol from VSCode into this box.
  *   This gives a paste error message:

[cid:image003.png@01DA8B61.C58642D0]



  *   I then go to Document/Settings/Listings, and change Syntax Highlighting 
Package to *minted*, which provides a message:

[cid:image004.png@01DA8B62.5053B550]



I don't understand this message...

  *   I'm on Windows, and the documentation says that Pygments driver is 
installed by default (??). Anyways, reading this warning...
  *   Where am I supposed to place command "\AtBeginDocument{...}"?? Are we 
talking about putting this command in the Document/Settings/LaTeX Preamble 
window??? Or should I open the LyX document in an ASCII editor and add the 
line... somewhere?
  *   What is the "driver command", i.e., the string I'm supposed to insert 
instead of `driver`? Is it simply `pygmentize`??

  *   Anyways, for now I just neglect this command, and go to 
Tools/Preferences/File Handling/Converters, and scroll down to

[cid:image002.png@01DA8B63.945591F0]

Here I have changed Converter from `pdflatex $$i` to what is shown above.



When I go back to the document and insert a listing, and then paste the Unicode 
symbol into the listing, I get the same error message with paste error as shown 
at the top of this e-mail.



--

So - I'm stuck. The only possible reason for the problem now are:

  *   I need to find the correct place to insert the string 
"\AtBeginDocument..." string with the correct `driver` (whatever that is), and 
live with the warning of mint & `-shell-escape` causing a security risk. 
Perhaps this will solve the problem.
  *   Or: it is not possible to use Unicode characters in LyX 2.4 listings.



Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I don't use R, so I guess knitr is not useful to me. [In in the JU corner of 
Jupyter...] There is also Quarto which is developed in the R community, 
although it can also be used with other languages. Don't know how Quarto scales 
to large documents, though... My experience is that Jupyter Notebooks start to 
become slow with documents in the order of some 30 pages (i.e., with plenty of 
plots), while LyX is still quick with documents in the order of 1000 pages.

You might also want to check how knitr integrates into lyx (basically embedding

size of graphics with inlineimg

[camus . philippe]

Hello 
I'm trying to use inline-images in a document with base64 encoded pictures : 
\inlineimg{picture.png}{base64 code} 

It works fine with TeXstudio, but with LyX i get a "cannot determine size of 
graphics, no bounding box" error. 
I suspect it comes from the place where LyX put the temp files picture.png, but 
I don't know how to control that.

I have been using the master branch for regular work for well over a

I'm not super software savvy, so I have been hesitant not knowing:
* Can I install RC4 and still use LyX 2.7.1?
That may depend upon your OS, but someone else should be able to say. 
The one thing you have to do is keep the user directories separate.

* Do I have to uninstall RC4 and install the official release when it becomes 
available?

Again, that will depend upon your OS.

* With 2.7.1, I have used MikTeX. Should I still use MikTeX, or use something 
else? (Does MikTeX also come with LuaTeX, XeTeX, TeXLive, or whatever?)


The background TeX installation should not matter. They all have the 
same bits. (TeXLive, though, is an alternative to MikTeX.)

I don't think there have been any major changes in that machinery. And there 
definitely won't be any before the final release. Changes from RC4 to the

* inclusion of input and output cells, with figures, etc.

* linked-in notebooks would be multipage. Perhaps it should be possible to 
embed the notebooks in some theorem-like environment.

OK -- don't know if this is possible, but it would go a long way towards 
getting a literal programming environment.

The most plausible way to do this would be to use an external inset.
That's the way that Lilypond files (music) are included, for example.
Such insets are user definable. Basically, you tell LyX how to convert the file 
to something LaTeX can process. This is discussed in section
7.1 of the Embedded Objects manual. You can use the existing xtemplate files as 
a starting point, too.

I'm particularly interested in the possibility to...

* link the notebooks into LyX so that I always get the latest 
version/computations in the notebook, i.e., preferably not a static import

* inclusion of mark-up text with headlines, math, etc.

* inclusion of input and output cells, with figures, etc.

LyX 2.4.0 & Jupyter Notebooks

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

Is there a way to import Jupyter Notebooks into LyX 2.4.0 (when v. 2.4.0 is 
released)? 

I'm particularly interested in the possibility to...

* link the notebooks into LyX so that I always get the latest 
version/computations in the notebook, i.e., preferably not a static import

* inclusion of mark-up text with headlines, math, etc.

* inclusion of input and output cells, with figures, etc.

* linked-in notebooks would be multipage. Perhaps it should be possible to 
embed the notebooks in some theorem-like environment.

Riki,

Just upgraded from 2.3.7.1 to 2.4.0~RC4 on Slackware64-15.0 on a ThinkPad T430; 
no bugs seen crawling around. The issues that bugged me in 2.3.6.2 and
2.3.7.1 (not finding biblatex.sty and biber, needing to use the File menu to 
export a pdflatex because c-x h wouldn't work) are gone.

I had a concern about Tools -> Preferences -> Look & Feel -> Display showed 
Default when I use emacs turned out that (at least on my system) emacs key 
chords are the default.

Congratulations and many thanks to all devs.

Best regards,

Rich
