options on a document class

Al Niessner — 2013-05-22T22:09:22

Let me start with a big thanks to all of the developers and users of Lyx. I 
have been using it for nearly exclusively for 15 years or more. Ever since 
FrameMaker got purchased by Adobe I have been using Lyx.

Lyx works so well that I have never had to learn LaTeX or TeX. I have been 
through the documentation a couple of times and have been through the WIKI 
too. I almost always get my answers there, but sometimes I have to resort to 
google. In this case, they have all failed and I finally have to post. Well, 
I do not remember every posting before.

Currently I am trying to write a paper and it comes with this request:

Latex users: please use \documentclass[conference, compsocconf]{IEEEtran} 
(with option 'compsocconf').

Since Lyx works so well and I have never had to learn LaTeX, I have no idea 
what they are asking. I poked around Lyx and the documentation and have not 
convinced myself that I have found the correct thing to do.

convert lilypond-lyx to epub

Jürgen Lange — 2013-05-22T15:17:47

Hello,

My lyx documents contain embedded lilypond code. I want to convert to epub.

Unfortunately the lilypond code isn't compiling to xhtml exporting with  
Lyx-HTML.

Are there any plans to implement this feature?

Help with import from SPanish

Dr Eberhard Lisse — 2013-05-22T13:06:05

Hi,

I am struggling with importing a document in Spanish into LyX because I
do not know how to get the Spanish diacriticals to show in the LyX
frontend and it doesn't compile.

Here is the minimal example

\documentclass{scrartcl}   
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\usepackage{selinput}
\SelectInputMappings{%
 aacute={á},
 ntilde={ñ},
 Euro={€}
}

\begin{document}
\section{Diagnóstico}
Durante el proceso de visitas al XXXXX, se realizó un inventario de las
características de la infraestructura de comunicaciones y acceso a
Internet y otros servicios.

\end{document}

I use LyX 2.0.6 on Mac 10.8.3 and would appreciate any advice :-)-O

Line Breaks in Text Sections formatted with Local Layouts

Stefan A. — 2013-05-21T18:21:18

Hi guys, I've been working with LyX and XeTeX recently to set up a
document which allows me to switch between various East Asian languages
using Text Styles. Although the Text Styles I have defined in Document
Properties -> Local Layouts work well for single words or phrases, I
haven't found a way to enter line breaks in sections defined for a
certain language, and I was hoping someone here may have a suggestion on
how to achieve this. I can copy and paste text containing line breaks
from other sources and I can force line breaks using CTRL + Enter, but I
was hoping for a more elegant solution that does not involve too much
ERT. Any thoughts?

Full disclosure: I posted this question on latex-community.org a week
ago, but haven't received a reply, which is why I figured I'd give this
mailing list a try. The post also contains a sample file demonstrating
my setup:

Keyboard shortcut preferences file location

Mark Spindler — 2013-05-21T00:51:34

I have Windows 7 and LyX 2.0.5.1 on this machine. When I go to
Tools>Preferences>Editing>Shortcuts, it says "cua" at the top, and I can
see a lot of edits which have not gone away when updating LyX.

I would now like to move those to another Windows 7 machine, but I don't
know where my changes have been stored. They don't seem to have modified
...\Lyx 2.0\Resources\bind\cua.bind. Any help locating a file I can
copy/rename to get the same shortcuts on another computer would be greatly
appreciated.

ctable does not work with article(APA)

John Kane — 2013-05-20T14:51:51

The attached file uses 'article' and runs.  Change to APA or APA6 and one gets an error message saying LaTeX error: command\tnote already defined.  

I'm probably just doing something stupid but I was having a look at ctable and found that it bombs with the document classes article(APA) and article(APA6).  It seems fine with other article classes, report and paper. It even compiles though looks funny in handout(tufte).  I have tried running it with all the normally expected APA environments as well with no luck.


It  runs with no problem in LaTeX with \documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{apa}.




Any suggestions? 
Thanks

Problem with text being inserted randomly

Rich — 2013-05-20T13:14:04

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has advice on a possible bug I am experiencing in
LyX 2.0.5. I am currently writing up my PhD thesis, with each chapter being
a child lyx document. One chapter in particular is suffering from a
problem; text is being inserted randomly in any form of content (equations,
figure floats, chapter titles, tables).

I have tried deleting the offending text, but it only reappears in
seemingly random places. The text itself is not random, it is text from
elsewhere within the chapter (sometimes it is parts of equations, text,
text out of ERT [such as "\ac{}"]. It seems as if this phenomenon is only
present within this chapter (thankfully!).

I have also tried copying and pasting the contents to a fresh lyx file but
the problem still exists, albeit a bit better.

My OS is Windows XP, although given the same file the problem exists on my
own personal Windows 7 based laptop. Some of the chapters are modified LyX
files from my previous documents (LyX 1.6), does this have any bearing on
the i

Using pdfpages package in lyx

Marc Wijnand — 2013-05-19T21:30:24

Dear Lyx list

I am trying to use the pdfpages package in lyx in order to insert pdfs in my document. I used
Insert - File - External material
with following settings:
File
File: .../Title.pdf
Template: PDFPages
LaTeX and LyX options
Format: LaTeX
Option: pages=-
Size and rotation
Width: 100 Scale%
Contrary to the problem reports I found on the internet, I am able to produce a pdf document from the LyX file. But in this resultant pdf document, the pdf I intended to insert is replaced by a blank page.

Remove the automatically added amssymb

2013-05-19T19:50:47

 
Hi,


    I’m a fan of LyX for many years. I like it.


    However I cannot understand why the LyX use the <amssymb> package by default, even I remove everything in Math Option. I need to remove the package. Can you give me any suggestion or help about how to remove this?


     Thanks a lot and the best.

Problem with Thai document

Rawin Youngnoi — 2013-05-18T14:19:58

Dear LyX team
I upgraded LyX 2.0.1 to 2.0.6 but when I opened my document, which is written in Thai, and moved cursor by hold any arrow key. It would have scrolled down very slowly. I have tested with English document but everything is OK.
I found that the above situation will occur in 2.0.4 but not 2.0.3.Have you got any suggestion?
Thanks in advance,Rawin Youngnoi

Offset problem with pdf picture floats

Marc Wijnand — 2013-05-17T22:56:29

Dear Lyx list

I am able to use picture floats without any problem in Lyx 2.0.5.1, for all types of pictures except for pdfs. When I insert a pdf, the whole picture float is located a little bit to high, covering some text. How can I fix this without needing to copy the original pdf files and change the extension in order to be able to use them correctly in Lyx? You can find an example of this problem attached to this mail.

copy/paste poems into lyx

Csikos Bela — 2013-05-17T15:06:32

Hello:

I have a word document with poems. Every line within the same verse is a new paragraph, and the verses are separated by empty paragraphs.

I would like to copy these poems into lyx and use the verse environment.
If I copy/paste the poems into lyx, all lines become new paragraphs in lyx and the separating empty paragraphs/lines are removed, that is the verses become fused together. I should manually replace the paragraph marks with new lines within verses and leave them as they are between verses. This would be a very tedious work. Is there a way to automate this?

Thanks,

What about ePub support

Jan Ulrich Hasecke — 2013-05-17T10:31:31

Hi,

I want to publish ebooks and typeset books from the same source, because
today nearly all new books are offered as ebooks and as printed books.

Up to now I didn't find a good solution working out of the box.

Sphinx, the documentation system written in Python offers multiple
output formats from one source, eg. PDF via LaTeX. EPub support is
improving but not perfect yet. You have to tweak it a bit
(http://www.hasecke.eu/Members/juh/sphinx-a-tool-for-self-publisher)

I now want to give LyX a try, I used it years ago but always went back
to LaTeX.

I saw that there isn't a no epub support in LyX up to now. I read about
exporting to html and converting to epub via Calibre. This is a
workaround I could choose if I had to, but it is not the solution I am
looking for.

So what are the plans for the future? I read about a GSOC project aiming
to implement epub conversion in LyX. Is there a timeframe? In the road
map of 2.1 epub is not mentioned.

TIA

Lyx Math Macro Library

Pavel Bažant — 2013-05-17T09:22:30

Dear Lyx users,

is there any public library of LyX macros? Math notation has many widely used 
semantic elements that could be abstracted into LyX macros. Things like:

Set builder notation
Sequent calculus notation
Function notation (the fun argument would be the macro argument)
Operator notation (as with functions)
Braket notation
Macros that would take indexed notation in GR and output Penrose notation
(in combination Latex macros to perform the translation and rendering).

I have created a macro that is useful when working with sequent calculi.

One of the goals would be to minimize the need for tweaking the formatting -- 
things like spacing tweaks would be abstracted away into the macro.

IMHO, an official location to share LyX macros would be great.

Header Block with spanning graphic

Morgan Rodwell — 2013-05-17T03:22:26

Hey there,

How would one build a header that contained a graphic that spans the 
page from left to right and lies behind text?  Can this be done in Lyx?  
In Latex at all?

Aspell for Windows at LyX?

Ciarán Ó Duibhín — 2013-05-17T01:57:31

May I ask a question here about the webpage http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/Aspell ?

The page says: 
"If you need to install Aspell separately on windows, it can be downloaded from the LyX repositories: 

  a.. ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/aspell6-windows/ "
To install Aspell separately on Windows is what I would like to do, but there seems to be nothing but a short text message at sourceforge.net, and only a very old (2002) Windows installer at http://aspell.net/win32/

Now, the sentence quoted above seems to say I can download a (hopefully up-to-date) Aspell installer for Windows from that LyX ftp site; and further, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Aspell says that "the LyX project has long solved the Windows packaging problem by forking Aspell".

But, as far as I can see, the ftp site contains only dictionaries.  Is this so, or am I missing something?

Thanks for your help.

subscript/superscript bug

Csikos Bela — 2013-05-16T14:10:18

Hello:

I guess this is a bug:

When I write text with non-default font size (eg. small) and insert within this text subscript or superscript characters afterwards, lyx applies the same font size to the subscript/superscript characters as the surrounding font's size (that is small). The subscript/superscript font should be proportionally smaller than the surrounding font. In the source it is visible that lyx applies the font size command to the subscript/superscript text:

{\small{subscript A\textsubscript{{\small{2}}} bug}}{\small \par}

The font size command should not be applied to the subscript text as \textsubscript takes care of the font size. The same regards to superscript.

This occurs in lyx 2.0.6.
