How would one code this

{^{32}{P}}-storage

from JabRef per push into a lyx file gives me this error:

\mathrm

{^{32}{P}}-{E}inlagerung in die {V}erbindungen der

You're in trouble here. Try typing  to proceed.

If that doesn't work, type X  to quit.

{^{32}{P}} is correctly shown, but {E}inlagerung and the rest is in
italics and overflows the page margin (I use two column setting).

How can I avoid this?

Wolfgang



Like the attached?

Kornel

Thanks, Kornel,
however, it's not the lyx, but the Jabref where I should correct it.
Using your
$\ce{^{32}P}$
in the reference worked, but mathrm would be better; how to do that?
by the way, what does \ce mean?
Wolfgang


It is meant for chemistry formulas. See doc/Math.lyx
20 Chemical Symbols and Equations

The characters there are _not_ italic.

Kornel


I inserted this in my Jabref reference  
and added in my Lyx document


\usepackage{mhchem}

and now the pdf-output is correct

Thanks a lot, Kornel

Exporting one branch from command line

2018-08-06 Thread Gioele Barabucci
Is it possible to activate a LyX branch from the command line while 
exporting to a PDF file?


The documentation [1] says that the following command should work, but 
it does not in my tests.


lyx -x "command-sequence branch-activate b1" -E pdf2 outfile.pdf 
infile.lyx


A PDF is exported but the branch "b1" is not activated.

I asked in this TeX.StackExchange question [2, minimal LyX file 
attached] if there are other ways to export a specific branch and the 
only answer I got works only partially.


The user scottkosty suggested

lyx -x "command-sequence branch-activate b1; buffer-export pdf2 
outfile.pdf; undo; lyx-quit" infile.lyx


This solution kind of works, but the `lyx-quit` command at the end 
reports an error because it is executed before the export has finished.


My questions to you:

* How come the command in the documentation does not work?
* Is it possible to tell the `lyx-quit` command to wait until the file 
has been exported? Or is there a `sleep` command in LyX?
* Is there a better way to export a particular branch to a PDF file from 
the command line with no human interaction?

AppleScript LyX

2018-08-06 Thread Dr Eberhard Lisse
Hi,

I know next to no AppleScript and wonder if someone has a quick script
which will allow me to open a LyX document (absolute path), view the
file as pdf5 (PDF from LuaLaTeX) and keep the file in LyX's front window
open (for further editing and manual viewing)

Can something like this be done with the LyX Server pipe (ie after
open(ing) the file)?

greetings, el



Trying to get lyx to find a .cls file

2018-08-06 Thread Melvyn Goldstein
Hello,
Can some one tell me where to put a .cls file so that lyx (2.3) can find it?
I’m using Tex-live on a Mac (OS10.13.4). I have the Copernicus style files 
(.cls, in particular). But lyx can’t seem to find it. I’ve put them in the 
folder with the document and have also tried to put them in a couple of places 
in the texmf installation. I’ve used used ‘texhash’ in the terminal and 
‘reconfigure’ in lyx. But lyx still complains and uses a fairly useless 
default. 

I’ve also, in lyx, gone into Document Settings and tried to point to the file, 
but lyx doesn’t seem to recognize the file as something it can read, so I 
haven’t been able to select it.

Thanks very much!

In order to use a class file, LyX needs to have a layout file for the 
class. The layout file is unique to LyX, telling it how to translate 
class constructs into the GUI. I just looked in the directory of layout 
files that come with LyX and did not see any names that screamed 
"Copernicus" to me. Do you have a layout file (.layout extension) for it?
