Error
Hi guys,
i got the this error:
LaTeX Error: \begin{thenomenclature} on input line 1 ended by \end{document}.
It's a bug report at the same time. If the mailing list is wrong please
forward.
When % is placed in the nomenclature as unity e.g. like this Duty Cucle [%] the
error occurs.
Thanks a lot
Stan

Fixme (package/module)
Hi. I recently discovered the fixme package and fixme.module. I have installed the package via MikTex and I have placed the fixme.module in the layouts folder: C:\Documents and Settings\Ken\Application Data\lyx16\layouts Now "Insert > Custom Insets > FxNote" allows me to insert a note which is displayed in the margin when the document is compiled to pdf. My questions are: (1) how can I change the document from "draft" to "final" so that the notes are not printed in the pdf document? (2) is it possible/easy to add an icon to the toolbar so that I can quickly insert an FxNote (just as easily as a normal note) with a single click? Or is it possible to add a keyboard shortcut? Thanks, Ken P.S. This is my first attempt at using a module. So far it has been easy to install but learning the subtleties is a bit trickier. If there is documentation which would easily answer my questions please point me in that direction. Thanks!
Re: Portable LyX
Le 10/05/11 06:20, Ganesh Sundaram a écrit : LyX uses the user directory by default and doesn't use the Windows register. AFAIK the directory is defined in the compilation process and there's no way to achieve this without changing the code. I am not able to fully understand the part "the directory is defined in the compilation process and there's no way to achieve this without changing the code". LyX is able to find its system files relative to where the binary is. User files are in a fixed place, though, but we query windows to know where is user setting should be, so I guess there are some possible tricks. JMarc

Re: Fixme (package/module)
Hi Richard,
Thanks for the info. As for draft/final setting I see that
fixme.module contains the lines:
AddToPreamble
\usepackage[status=draft]{fixme}
EndPreamble
Apparently if I change this to:
\usepackage{fixme}
then fixme gets the status from the \documentclass options.
However, I find that if I set the \documentclass options to include
"draft" then the fixme notes are printed in the margins (as expected),
however now my figures are not displayed (only the filenames are
printed in boxes, not expected). When the option is empty (and
therefore defaulting to "final") the fixme notes are not displayed and
the figures are (as expected). (PS I am using the article class)
In case this is of any use to others it may be best/easiest to change
the status in the fixme.module file (and to close the document and
re-open it in order for the change to occur next time the pdf is
generated).
Also, thanks for the info on LFUN and shortcuts... I'll have a play with this.
Ken
It appears that this seems to set the status of fixme to draft.

An alternative would be to create two modules: fixme.module and fixme-draft.module, only the latter of which has the status=draft option in the preamble. Then you could simply switch from one module to the other using Document > Settings. This is a bit clunky, but far easier than manually editing the fixme.module each time, and it would only affect the current document rather than all documents that use that module. BH

Given this, perhaps putting "status=draft" (rather than just "draft") in the
\documentclass options would affect the fixme package, and not images? I

Because the OP complained that it is incosistent to show math-macro expansions in the child doc but not make them available in stand-alone compilation. The same argument would hold for references to sections, equations, tables and figures in other parts of the document. Actually, I regularly compile stand-alone child docs (to save time on checking the appearance in the output).

Just make it very clear in the documentation that parent-document features are non-available in the child if compiled stand-alone (without include feature) even if rendered in the LyX window - this is a feature. (After switching to LyX 2 I will try with the include feature.) Günter

That was not intentional, and the behavior depends upon the setting of EXPORT_IN_THREAD. We can keep it as it is, but then we should make it consistent (and could remove useless code). Richard

Using non-computer modern numbers in lyx 2.0
First, thanks for the integration of XeTeX and LuaTeX and LyX. LyX is now a brilliant tool. One problem remains- I'm sure there's a very simple fix for this, so I apologize in advance if I've missed something obvious. I use ERT to bring statistical tables from R, an open source statistics language. This works great, except that the numbers in these tables remain Latin Modern, rather than whatever font I've used with XeTeX. I've attached the compiled pdf and the lyx file. Is there an easy way to ensure that the numbers in the table match the font used in the text and the table? Thanks Tom bembo with computer modern numerals.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document bembo text, computer modern numerals.lyx Description: Binary data

Your tables are in pure ERT, so I'm wondering if the packages
\usepackage{dcolumn}
\usepackage{booktabs}
don't automatically force some specific font? Maybe you should check
their documentation. For example, to get non-default fonts it's a good
idea to call Sweave with the 'noae' option.

I think it would be good if LyX doesn't generate so much errors, but I vote against the generation of documents with "wrong" content (i.e. the question marks). Otherwise, LyX could not stop on the first error, as it already do today. That is, currently, if a error is found, LyX just stops and warns the user. Even if the document can still be generated by LaTeX. We didn't define LyX to "just continue and see what you get" because we don't want this, right? In the worst case, I'm in favor of a warning to the user about these "wrong" things. One reason is because I already submited a work with those "??". My fault indeed, but LyX could warn me anyway. ;-) > > Just make it very clear in the documentation that parent-document > > features are non-available in the child if compiled stand-alone (without > > include feature) even if rendered in the LyX window - this is a feature. > > > We did establish that this is a change from 1.6.x, where parent macros > are written to the child.

There are two things to note here: 1st: LyX interprets macros very well. It doesn't matter where they are (child/master/etc). If the documents are linked, LyX handles it in the screen. Fact. IMO, if it handles the content to the screen it should handle to the output. 2nd: AFAIK this feature was supported in later versions (I did not tested by myself, but people in this thread said it work). I won't be surprised if someone decide to stay with LyX 1.6 just because this "feature" was removed. Or just because "I am not able to compile my old doc anymore" or any other complaints.

Re: Subfigures: \subref support?
Thanks for the answers. But I think I wasn't clear. I want to use the \subref command not the \ref one (supported by default on LyX). The difference between them is that \ref produces "1a" while \subref produces only "a". I need to cite subfigures in the caption of the main float. Example.: Fig(a) --- Fig(b) Figure 1: Here you see some figure (a) and another figure (b). Got it? But now I'm almost sure LyX really doesn't really support it. If so, this is another good (and simple) improvement for LyX 2.1. :-) Cheers, --- Diego Queiroz

I am using memoir to print a book, with a wide margin for graphics.
As I don't need this wide empty margin when printing pagenotes,
I need to change margins for the page notes at the end of each chapter.
I can do this with the preamble code:
\newenvironment{changemargin}[2]{%
\begin{list}{}{%
\setlength{\leftmargin}{#1}%
\setlength{\rightmargin}{#2}}%
\item[]}{\end{list}}
Then in ERT in the text:
\clearpage
\begin{changemargin}{0cm}{-2.8cm}
\printpagenotes*
\end{changemargin}
Since some page notes run for two pages, I need to cope with recto and
verso pages, whereas the above values need to be set up for one or the
other.
I have tried innermargin & outermargin or spinemargin & edgemargin with no
recognition.
Do I need to use Boolean programing (ifrecto or ifverso) to handle this
switching of margins, or does memoir have a simpler way?
I would greatly appreciate advice on this one.
Cheers, George Legge

Hi,
Your message did appear. Unfortunately no answers.
What about \evensidemargin and \oddsidemargin

Re: Anybody helps about img path
I found anothere way to solve this problem. Hopes it works for people have this
issue.
Here are some more infor. When converting EPS to PDF.
Platform: WinXP sp3, MicTex2.9 (I use XeTex)
this is the latex article.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,tmargin=0.75in,bmargin=0.75in,lmargin=0.75in,rmargin=0.75in}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\begin{document}
This is a drill.
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{exam1}
\end{document}
The lyx file and "exam1.eps" are all under "c:/".
When using Lyx to write an article, contains a EPS figure, the pdf figure always
lose some information after converting by Lyx.
I think this has nothing to do with Lyx. It seems this is due to epstopdf.exe in
"MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin". I tried this in cmd "epstopdf.exe fig.eps", and it
generates a same pdf lose some information in the eps fig, e.g. lagend, or X Y
title is mising.
To solve this, I write a bat named "epstopdf.bat" and put it in folder "MiKTeX
2.9\miktex\bin"(epstopdf.exe is renamed). The bat contains the following
information:
gswin32c -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -dEPSCrop -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-sOutputFile="%~dpn1.pdf" "%~dpnx1"
And the conventer for EPS to PDF is set to "epstopdf $$i". It works fine under
Lyx1.6.
When I updated my Lyx to 2.0. It is wrong this time.
It seems that Lyx2.0 will copy eps to a temporal folder and conventer it to pdf
in that folder, but epstopdf.bat doesn't know the whole path. (In fact Lyx1.6
did also but epstopdf.bat know the directory.) Lyx2.0 just pops up an error
cannot find that temporal file. here are the error info.

In order to check whether bat doesn't know the whole path of the temporal eps
file. I write the bat to a python version just using os.system("...") instead
and log some information. (Because I don't know how to log in bat.) So that
python file is named to epstopdf.py. And I put it in "LyX20\Resources\scripts".
The conventer is set to "python -tt $$s/scripts/epstopdf.py $$i".
Well, I am strange that this time it works well.
But I am still confused why python works but bat doesn't work.
[announce] LyXWinInstaller for LyX 1.6.10
Hello LyXers, the alternative Windows installer for LyX 1.6.10 is now available. This installer comes again with an update installer to update existing LyX 1.6.9 installation to LyX 1.6.10. NOTE: To be able to use this update installer, LyX 1.6.9 must have been installed with the alternative Windows installer. - The installer for this version can be downloaded from: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117&release_id=18526 and http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.10/ (General infos about the installer can be found here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller ) Installer Changelog: - Version 4.28 - LyX 1.6.10 - updated to eLyXer 1.2.1 - updated to ImageMagick 6.6.9-7 - updated to Ghostscript 9.02 - updated to MiKTeX 2.9 (build 4106) - --- This will be the last installer version I provide under the name LyXWinInstaller. Starting with LyX 2.0.0 there will only be one LyX for Windows installer. The installer for 2.0.0 does not yet contain all features of the LyXWinInstaller but for LyX 2.0.1 the installer should have them. For this purpose I need your help for a survey when features you need of which if the existing features you don't like. See my corresponding post on the lyx-users mailing list. thanks for all the years and happy LyXing Uwe

It's possible that there have been some changes in the 2.0 development
that broke a call to a .bat script, I'll let someone more knowledgeable
answer.

Need help getting APA citing working
Hello! I am commencing my B.InfoTech (Hons) and want to use Lyx for reports, thesis etc. I have installed the new Lyx 2.0 on my Macbook Pro and am using up to date Mactex live from the mirror.aarnet.edu.au mirror) and am experimenting using the "article (KOMA-Script)" document class. Into my document, I have inserted a Bibtex generated Bibliography, selected Natbib Author-year, using "apacite" and pointed it at my marklivingstone.bib file. I typed some text and inserted some trial citations selecting (author, year) type citation as appropriate for varying numbers of authors. When I do an update, and view, I get a beautiful result, but the citations use "and" instead of "&", and the volume numbers are not italicised. Before bothering you guys, I went to the Wiki and found the APALyX page. I downloaded the ApaExample.lyx which I note also uses "apacite" and which has correctly done ampersand signs and volume number citation style. This tells me I must have all the requisite class / style / etc files. Unfortunately, I am very new to Latex / Lyx, and I don't know how to fix my citations. I considered using the ApaExample.lyx but its stylistic elements are just too far from my desired requirements. I don't want their style, just their citation format ;-) On the ApaLyX page, it says you will need an apa.layout file and says to get it (and doesn't say where from!) Thanks in advance, MarkL

Hi,
First, apa.layout is nowadays shipped with the regular install of LyX.
Second, you might try to put the following line in the LaTeX preamble
(Document > Settings > LaTeX preamble)
\usepackage{apacite}

Re: Subfigures: \subref support?
On 10/05/2011 3:09 PM, Diego Queiroz wrote: Thanks for the answers. But I think I wasn't clear. I want to use the \subref command not the \ref one (supported by default on LyX). The difference between them is that \ref produces "1a" while \subref produces only "a". I need to cite subfigures in the caption of the main float. Example.: Fig(a) --- Fig(b) Figure 1: Here you see some figure (a) and another figure (b). Got it? But now I'm almost sure LyX really doesn't really support it. If so, this is another good (and simple) improvement for LyX 2.1. :-) Cheers, --- Diego Queiroz Unfortunately no it is not supported and moreover the macro \subref conflicts with the use of refstyle which was implemented in 2.0 (in this case \subref is a reference to a subsection and yields "subsection 1.1"). So you will have to type "a" yourself or use TeX code. Cheers, Julien
