Ok, thank you.

This is item should be set to pdf2 (pdflatex) initially.
I tried it with an account I've just created so the LyX settings
are created from scratch for sure. And this worked for me.

I don't know what happened. But I'm glad you solved it for you.

To get the view button to activate:
Go to menu: Preferences > File Handling > File Formats
Change the Default Output Format to PDF (pdflatex). Other options might work, but this item was initially blank.

I suppose one could---never tried though. I don't know if detex is smart

latex and bibtex / open latex and bbl file in editor / append  latter to
former / detex and word count. If and when the "append bbl option" will be
automated (see other threads), if could be relatively painless to implement
a small utility that would count words in the final tex output.

I agree that this would be excellent, but what people usually are 
requesting with this is to be able to edit the LaTeX source. That would 
not be easy to allow, since the same problems arise here as with LaTeX 
"roundtrip". Still, I agree that it would be a great feature, and it 
might be worth considering it as a GSoC project for next year.

A different suggestion would be to allow direct editing of the LyX 
source. Now the problem is that it would be very easy for people to 
produce invalid LyX code. And if you do want to do that sort of thing, 
then you can always open the LyX file itself in a text editor.

editing source question

Csikos Bela — 2013-06-18T09:46:10

Hello:

Sometimes editing text in lyx editor windows becomes tedious.
For example accidentally my citations became emphasized when I inserted them in emphasized text. Selecting them and unapply emphasize was cumbersome. It would have been much easier to edit the source and remove the tags directly.

Is there any plan so that the source could be directly edited in lyx?
I guess it would be a great feature.

(Remember WordPerfect where the editor screen could be split to two parts, and in the lower window the so called 'reveal codes' could be directly removed.)

Thanks,

bcsikos

Please, verify the settings LyX is using: I've attached the defaults I got on my system.
(Sorry, it's in german. But I think you can find the preferences on your system too.)

The view button (command+R) is greyed out -- it says command disabled when typing the shortcut. It looks like the view master document is also grey -- but this is less of a concern. 

Here is an example of the toolbar:

You should have three "eyes" buttons. Which one is greyed out?
The first should be enabled and is for the default "viewer".
It should trigger the pdflatex run and the pdf-viewer open.

It should work out of the box. You don't need any preview plugin.

New installation - eye preview button greyed out

Kristen Lurie — 2013-06-18T06:29:05

I recently install LyX on a new machine (MacOSX 10.8.4). I installed MacTeX and LyX. I am able to get the document to compile using the menu View > View (Other Formats) > pdflatex. However the eyes button on the toolbar is greyed out. Is this related to some type of preview plugin that I don't have? Do you have other suggestions for why this button might not be active?
Thanks,

You can use the detex utility for that:

$ man detex
NAME
       detex - a filter to strip TeX commands from a .tex file.

That will not help you with the bibliography, however, if (as it sometimes
happens) you need to include references in the word count.

Hi Maria,

The one caveat with editor word counting, or for that matter piping the
file into wc, is that you need to find a way to not count markup like
\begin{standard}.

Any decent text editor will count up words for you, as will Open
Office/Libre Office. I usually use TextWrangler.app (Mac OS, freeware).
Take your PDF, copy and paste the contents into a text file, and you'll
have an estimate. All estimates of word counts are imprecise because of
variable definitions of what a  "word" is.

Did you run texhash?


This version of tikz is very old, and likely incompatible with hf-tikz.sty


Update your TeX distro.

Re: How to fully specify preamble

Guenter Milde — 2013-06-16T20:23:41






Under Document>Settings:

You can disable the automatic loading of amsmath and amssymb.

You can change the used input encoding.

You can (probably) remove the "tocdepth" setting.

I find it convenient to open View>Source, show the complete document, and
start experimenting with the Document>Settings (applying every now and then
and checking the result).

Re: error - could not find Latex command for character

Guenter Milde — 2013-06-16T20:20:30

...







What "LaTeX encoding" do you use? Maybe it is "latin10", which fakes the
comma-below accent: 

\ProvideTextCommandDefault\textcommabelow[1]
  {\hmode< at >bgroup\ooalign{\null#1\crcr\hidewidth
     \raise-.31ex\hbox{\check< at >mathfonts
                       \fontsize\ssf< at >size\z< at >
                       \math< at >fontsfalse\selectfont,}\hidewidth}\egroup}

Does it work, if you copy and past from the PDF or
search for a word with comma below accented character(s)?


The problem is that:

* LaTeX has no proper support for the comma below.
  http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2008-August/017204.html
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_alphabet#.28La.29TeX
    
* LyX has no mapping for the Unicode characters with comma below.

#0x0218 ""                         "" "" # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH COMMA BELOW
#0x0219 ""                         "" "" # LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH COMMA BELOW
#0x021a ""                         "" "" # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER T WITH COMMA BELOW
#0x021b ""                         "" ""
