Using Chemstyle in LyX
Hello, I'm new to LaTeX/LyX so I don't know much of it. I would like to make use of the chemstyle-package for numbering chemical schemes and the coumpunds within them, if possible right in LyX by using TeX-Code. Hopefully someone has experience with this package and can help me. When I try the procedure for substituting the temporary markers in a eps-scheme as explained in the package's manual, the temporary markers are recognised, but the new numbers are listed below the scheme, rather than at the position of the temporary markers. You can see the result here http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/641/schemes.png/ Also, this only works when typesetting into .DVI, not into .PDF, which results in the error "You need to run LaTeX with the equivalent of "pdflatex -shell-escape". How could I do that with LyX? I use LyX 2.0 and MiKTeX 2.9 on Windows Thanks in advance for any help, Tobias -- NEU: FreePhone - 0ct/min Handyspartarif mit Geld-zurück-Garantie!

There is no "default settings" for new figures. But here is a timesaver: Make a template document for "progress reports". Include a figure in the template, which have all the correct settings. (Such as width=100% of line length). When you want to write a report, you use "File->New from template" When you need the figure, you just change the filename in the template figure, instead of adding a new figure. This is less work than first adding a figure and then setting the width. If you need more figures, just copy the first one and change the filename in the copy. If a report doesn't need a figure, delete the one provided by the template. A template can of course have other non-default document settings set up the way you want your reports to be too.

Search within math mode
Hallo, Lyx-users, I work with Lyx 2.0.0. now. I have heard that it would be possible to search within the math mode with Lyx 2.0.0. But it didn't work here I think (or I made a mistake): I had some text with the greek letter phi (lyx code: Ctrl+M \phi) I am not able to find that phi afterwards. If I search for "phi" I can't find anything. Did I do anything wrong? Thanks for your help!

If in the preamble I use
\usepackage[notes,autocite=footnote,natbib,citestyle=verbose-trad1]{biblatex-chicago}
I get this error message:
Package keyval Error: citestyle undefined.

If I use:

\renewcommand\citep{\autocite}
\bibliography{/home/lat/notes-test}
only the bibtexkey prints, not the text it points to.

As you can see above, I'm using the correct full path to the
bibliography file, but still no success.
I suspect that we are getting close though. Thanks for the help!

Maybe you would be able to send an small example with a bibliography

Re: biblatex-chicago
Rethinking on everything, I think the problem is biber. It seems that
it cannot process your bibtex file, which is why the citekey, not the
properly formatted reference, appears. You need to check both, your
bibtex file as well as your biber installation. BTW, why biber?

Re: biblatex-chicago
Confirmed, at least from my side. The problem lies in your bibtex
file, which biber cannot process. I believe it has some characters,
that even if UTF-8 encoded, are not understood by biber. For example,
in one reference:
@INBOOK{ashbrook:brain,
chapter = {7},
title = {The Frontal Lobes, Intending, and a Purposeful God},
publisher = {Pilgrim Press},
year = {1997},
author = {Ashbrook, James~B. and Albright, Carol Rausch},
annote = {A typical InBook entry, identified by title and also, in this case,
by chapter number rather than page range.},
booktitle = {The Humanizing Brain},
location = {Cleveland, OH},
shorttitle = {The Frontal Lobes}
}
You have a "~" in author. I removed this character and retried and it
seems to work with biber. Try yourself and let me know. Regards.

But you can make it work. I'd suggest getting the columns by setting up a table with fixed column widths. Use article class, and center the table using the paragraph settings. Adjust the margins (Document->Settings->Page Margins) and if you still have too much space at the top of the page you can use Insert->Formatting->Vertical Space to put in a negative space at the top of the page. But I'd use a spreadsheet such as Gnumeric or LibreOffice Calc to do the job. Les
