Track Changes/Color in Output

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Hi,

I wish to change the tracking colours. On screen I have changed the
first author change to brown which works very well but in the output
it remains in blue, which I don't like as I am using blue for the
hyperref links.

If I look at the LaTeC source its something like this here:

\providecolor{lyxadded}{rgb}{0,0,1}
\providecolor{lyxdeleted}{rgb}{1,0,0}

Where can I override this?

greetings, el

Julien,

thanks.

But, is there a way to change it in ALL documents, ie globally?

Lyx-2.0

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Hi,

is it possible to use the labeling environment in Koma Letter?

Is there an easy way to include the Tex GyreFot in the Pulldown
for the fonts? I like them and even use them as the screen fonst
so it would increase the experience :-)-O

Re: lyx template

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

What happenens if you do File -> New From Template ?

My templates are living in

~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0/templates

and

/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/templates

You can easily copy from the latter into the former :-)-O

Re: latex fonts

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Hi,

I like the TeXGyre fronts, and use them as screen fronts through the
preferences. As they work with LaTeX I would second the notion of being
able to have thenm in the dropdown :-)-O

Though, of course, putting them into the Preamble works also.

Re: Beamer class frame title symbol

That's a change from previous LyX versions, which I also encountered.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 2.2.3 Released

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Thanks,

but I noticed a real nuisance on Mojave 10.14.1

When I click on the Text Style button it uses default which I do not
like (and not the default one :-)-O).  When I manually change them and
click on marked text it makes the change as requested.  When I mark some
other text for the same formatting it resets this again.

This is a serious change from previous behavioir and not a feature.

How can I fix that?

Change Tracking Colors (Screen vs PDF)

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Hi,

I have been modifying the change colors for a tracked document, using
Preferences -> Look&Feel -> Screen Colors, I wanted the switch "changed
text 1st author" to be in red and the 3rd author in blue.

That works on the screen, but the output has still first author in blue,
which I see in the LaTeX document preamble as

\providecolor{lyxadded}{rgb}{0,0,1}
\providecolor{lyxdeleted}{rgb}{1,0,0}

Reason being that if I use Compare Documents an insert of a (single) 
character is better visible in red than in blue. In the Tracking proper 
it's ok because it shows the whole word delete and a new word added.


How can I change this in the output (PDF)?

greetings, el

Re: Question: how to run Reconfigure without GUI

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

I futureproofed it a little :-)-O

#!/bin/bash
function lyxconfigure
{
if [[ "$OSTYPE" == "darwin"* ]]
then
BASEDIR="/Users/$(whoami)/Library/Application Support/LyX"
LYXVER=$(lyx --version 2>&1 \
| perl -ne 'if (/^LyX/) {
@v = split(/\s+/);
($j,$i) = split(/\./,$v[1],3);
print "$j.$i"
}'
)
pushd "$BASEDIR-$LYXVER"
python -tt 
"/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py"
popd
else
echo "This only works on a Mac"
fi
}

If someone can come up with a clever way of finding the maJor and miNor 
versions of LyX, please let me know.

Heartbleed was an OpenSSL vulnerability by the way, and, though Bashdoor
was an issue in 2014, I use bash as my login shell so I don't really
think it matters much.  But as Steve wrote it's trivial to change.

Re: Screen script becomes smaller and smaller

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

I have put the following into

~/Library/Application\ Support/LyX-2.3/bind/mac.bind


Format 4

\bind "C-minus"  "buffer-zoom-out"
\bind "C-plus"   "buffer-zoom-in"
\bind "C-equal"  "buffer-zoom-in"
\bind "C-S-equal""buffer-zoom"

Since on the US keyboard the + and = are on the same key I might not
need the C-plus line.  The C-S-equal does the trick for me.  

No idea about other keyboards though.

Maybe a mac.local.bind for the new ones and the ones you want to dump

Thank you,

After removing mac.bind and making changes through the gui, user.bind 
now looks like:


## This file is automatically generated by lyx

Format 4

\unbind "C-t" "buffer-view pdf"
\unbind "C-S-equal" "buffer-zoom-in"

\bind "C-t" "buffer-view pdf5"

end
\end{luacode*}
\newcommand\EDD[1]{\directlua{tex.sprint(gbt("#1"))}}

which as you can imagine allows me to put the Date of Last Menstruation
in ISO format in the Red LMP: field in the LyX GUI and at PDF generation
\EDD{\LMP} makes the Expected Date of Delivery appear automatically
whereas \CUTOFF{\LMP} produces the Friday nearest to 24 weeks of
pregnancy.

This (accessing LUA (or even knitR) stuff from the GUI, for example) can
become extremely powerful :-)-O

Re: Problems with bibliography generation

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

The only problem I can see in the malformed BIB file.

It does not load into BibDesk on the Mac.

The clean one does, and works perfectly with the LyX file.

If a BIB file can't be found, browse for it which has always worked for me.

Re: Trouble exporting multi-part documents

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Paul,

my understanding is that this is the intended behavior.

Child Documents are just that, Child Documents.

If you want a Child Document to be freestanding it must be surrounded at
the very least by something like


\documentclass{scrartcl}
\begin{document}
%[Child Document goes here]
\end{document}


And of course you must put the contents of the Master Document's
preamble into the Child Document for which I find it helpful to use 
something like

\input{include.tex}

in every Child Document's preamble anyway.

Daniel,

to be honest, I'll probably figure this out and install it anyway.

Even though in my daily use I usuallyhave Enumerate-Resume on the outer

Weight Options to the Noto Fonts

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Hi,

I am conducting a serious love affair with the Noto fonts which we can
now select in the LyX Settings -> Fonts dialog.

Sometimes I want to have the document a little ticker than regular which
I would normally do in the Preamble with something like

\makeatletter
\if@landscape
\usepackage[medium]{noto}
\else
\usepackage{noto}
\makeatother


This works but defeats the purpose and my sporting ambition.

I tried

\PassOptionsToPackage{thin}{noto}

which doesn't work, because this would have to come before the
\begin{document}, anyway.


Any ideas?  If it's in the manual a pointer would be appreciated.

And I unashamedly do not apologize for crossposting :-)-O

greetings, el

Re: Version control system

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Ivan,

I assume you use a Mac from the look of the icons. If you use Windows, 
stop reading here :-)-O



What happens if you try something like

ci -l Title.lyx

from a command line?

Or even better

ci -u -i -t-"Register" "Title.lyx"

(leave the -q out)


Does a file 

Title.lyx,v

already exist?



I have been using RCS on the mac for many years, and for a single user
it is perfectly sufficient.  On the Mac it was included in the past, but
now (Mojave) has to install it manually from something like Homebrew.


What does 

realpath $(which ci)

return? 

Homebrew would return something like

/usr/local/Cellar/rcs/5.9.4_1/bin/ci


For collaboration something like GIT or SVN is much better, but the
required setup effort is also bigger.

Re: Trouble exporting multi-part documents

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

If make the changes in each LyX "master" file you run in to the problem
of having to keep track of the changes.

Therefor it's better having "master" LyX files and an include.tex for
all common changes.

Re: Trouble exporting multi-part documents

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

My suggestion is that you do, but minimal ones, and have once "master"
include file which all import.

Otherwise if you make a change to one file you have to pay attention
making the change in all files.

Re: Embedding sounds and video in beamer class

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

First,

why are you putting Frames into ERT? LyX has commands for that.

Then, I have renamed one of my MP4 files, since that was not included in
the allegedly MWE and as I had seemed to recall, the multimedia package
doesn't like MP4.

Use MOV, ie transform

VID_20180616_094640.mp4

into

VID_20180616_094640.mov

which does work.

But, since I don't use Acrobat as the defaul reader on the Mac, I
compile on the command line

lyx -f -e pdf5 beamer_media_test.pdf

and then fire up acrobat as Skim and Preview do not display movies.  If
Acrobat is your default reader than you might get away with running View
(Alt-R (?))

I have changed to LuaLaTeX as default in the document, by the way.

Re: Quicker build

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

I have a project of 15 LyX files and one common Tex include file.

The complete (master) document takes between 70 and 75 seconds.

If I just compile the most complicated child document it takes 20
seconds.

The least complicated document (a placeholder of one page without any
images or references) takes 12 second.

All of course in LuaLaTeX which is much slower than PDFLaTeX.

I am finding that it doesn't make that much difference. I am quite sure
that the references don't make much of a difference.

However, if I was doing a lot of complicated equation stuff and the
waiting were really to bother me, I would devise a file which has the
same formatting as the master document (by way of a tex include file)
and design the equation in that file, akin to a Minimal Working Example.

I am sure that would compile quickly, and once the equations looks
right, just cut and paste into the proper document.

What would be very interesting is to compile a LaTeX benchmark document
on the computer you are using.

Re: Quicker build

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Daniel,

The idea is to run it with the time command (under Unix/Mac, I don't
know how to do that in Windoze) and to see how log that takes (for
pdflatex and lualatex).

I just looked at the PDF to see it renders, but haven't even bothered to
read the title properly.

wget http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/latex-bench/bench.tex
wget http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/latex-bench/types.bib
pdflatex bench
bibtex bench
pdflatex bench
time pdflatex bench
time lualatex bench

On my Mac I have installed bench from

https://github.com/Gabriel439/bench 

and run that, instead 

bench 'pdflatex bench'
bench 'lualatex bench'


It's just to get an idea how slow your box is :-)-O

tex2lyx 2.3.2 and enumerate-resume

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Hi,

I have run

tex2lyx -c scrartcl -m enumitem -f mwe.tex

and get the enclosed

mwe.lyx

where I have manually removed the ERT (see below) from the line with
"item 1" and right clicked that and the line with "item 2" to be proper
Enumerate-Resume which produces the enclosed

mwe.pdf


While the PDF is correctly numbered I would rather prefer not to have
the ERT in the LyX file, as left in the one with "item 3".


Is this known? 

Would that be a bug? 

Can something be done about it? Other than regex'ing it in Perl.

Re: tex2lyx 2.3.2 and enumerate-resume

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

In case someone is interested, I got to this issue, while playing with
Dragon Dictate for the Mac (discontinued by the developer 6 weeks after
I purchased the license :-(-O)

It reliably crashes when trying to "activate" LyX, never mind that a few
years ago when I tried this with previous versions I could not dictate
into LyX.

So I went the markdown road and developed this workflow over a Sunday
afternoon

Dictate Markdown into TextMate
Issue regularly "Press Key Command S" and "Cache Document" :-)-O
Bash Function
call pandoc with specific template
do some editing of the LaTeX file with Perl
run tex2lyx
remove ERT with Perl
version the Markdown and LyX file(s)
Review in LyX
Save PDF or print

Now I still need to Train my Dragon to understand my Namlish and the
medical and/or IT terms I use, but it seems with a bit of self
discipline and a cheat sheet I might be onto something.

I will also experiment with Dragon on Windows in Virtual Box, which I
have for my practice software anyway, and from which I can save the
markdown file out onto the mac, so I can continue with the above
workflow.

This might actually be a solution for other people needing to generate
large amounts of text in LyX.

Enumerate in Beamer

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Hi,

I would like to continue the numbering of an enumerated list onto a
subsequent slide.

Usually I would do that with the enumitem package and module, but since
this interferes with something on Beamer it's disabled.

In LaTeX I would do something like this, which works.

\begin{enumerate}
\item First item
\item Second item
\newcounter{saveenum}
\setcounter{saveenum}{\value{enumi}}
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{next frame}

\begin{enumerate}
\setcounter{enumi}{\value{saveenum}}
\item Third item
\item Fourth item

I can add 

\setcounter{saveenum}{\value{enumi}}

as ERT, no drama, but if I put 

\setcounter{enumi}{\value{saveenum}}

as ERT into the first item on the LyX document, the 'Third item' comes
up as 1 and the 'Fourth item' as 4.

If I put 

\setcounter{enumi}{\value{saveenum}}

as ERT before the list, it has no effect, ie the 'Third item' comes up
as 1 and the 'Fourth item' as 2.

Is there a way of doing this in Beamer?  With as little ERT as possible
of course

el

Re: Enumerate in Beamer

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Yes I did.

As I wrote, enumitem does not work in beamer (and the module is not
available in beamer).

Convington does not do it either.

Re: Does LyX have an xhtml *import*?

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

There are some mentions on google about converting XHTML to Markdown.
That you can get into any form of LyXable TeX with Pandoc.

Re: Does LyX have an xhtml *import*?

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

What I am saying is that there are some mentions on google about
converting XHTML to Markdown.  

Pandoc can convert Markdown into LaTeX.

If you are careful in designing the template Pandoc uses, the LaTeX
converts with minimal fuss to LyX.

Minimal fuss means something like 

perl -i -p -e 's/\\tightlist//g;s/\\\w*{verbatim}//g' f.tex
tex2lyx f.tex

Re: How to set editor for external edit of preamble

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

I use TextMate (which has a command line tool in /usr/local/bin). 

So I set it to /usr/local/bin/mate and that works very well.

I did not need to use the --wait option or something like $$i, as once 
the file is saved I have to click the "End Edit" Button.

It also works with Alpha's /usr/local/bin/alphaed so if BBEdit has
something like that it should also work.

Great stuff, this...

Re: KOMA-Script report: old font issue with bibtex

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Rich,

this is not a MWE, it requires  gensymb.sty and a BST which I didn't have.

This is not a LyX issue

It's a LaTeX one, or rather a BST one and you need to look at the BST what 
it shows there.

Look for something like (from another style):

FUNCTION {emphasize}
{ duplicate$ empty$
{ pop$ "" }
{ "\emph{" swap$ * "}" * }
  if$
}

but search for the old ones, of course, ie \bf, \sc and so on...

Re: Missing lyxeditor.cmd?

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

I can not confirm this.

I am a long time LyX user in production (I seem to have switched from
OpenOffice to LyX in 2005 according to what I can find in my operating
reports directory), regularly updating LyX and MacOs, and on an number
of different boxes (from iMini via the trashcan MacPro to a 5k iMac) and
laptops (12 and 13 inch airs).

The only issue I am having sometimes is LuaLaTeX being 3 times slower
than pdfLaTeX but of course it is the future :-)-O and there are many
ways around some of it.

Is there a way of measuring the startup time of a Mac application?

Re: KOMA-Script report: old font issue with bibtex

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

I did not write "in that director".

You are using gensymb.sty which is not included. I noticed it comes
from the was package which once can install with tlmgr. Remove this and
run again, just to be sure that this is not the cause, but it's hardly
likely to be.

Then you are using /home/rshepard/documents/jabrefdb as the BIB file,
which is not included.

And finally you are using authordate3 as Bibliography style
(authordate3.bst?) which is not included.

I am quite sure we'll find that in authordate3.bst there are some
occurrences of the old commands.

sudo find / -name 'authordate*'

comes to mind.

You don't need to change the reference format.

You can modify the BST and put it somewhere where it will survive
upgrades.  Depending on the search order of Texhash you might even be
able to keep the same name :-)-O

Rich,

two separate issues (if you leave the soup out :-)-O).

Switching style will often solve issues, fixing the BST file will
definitively.

Google is your friend with regards to BibTeX. And perhaps you might take
the plunge and move to BibLaTeX which is said to be the future.

Re: How to keep versions of a paper in different formats

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Jerry,

what version control problem?

If you are on a Mac or Linux, and you are not collaborating with other
authors, you (just :-)-O) install RCS, rerun Tool -> Reconfigure check
the sucker in and out.

You then can put something like this in your preamble

\usepackage{rcs-multi}
\rcsid{$Id$}

after installing rcs-multi if you don't have it already installed, and
do all sorts of business inside like version numbers in the footer,
header, watermark or file name.  Checking out a particular older version
is no drama.

And then you can ask your friend Google for LaTeX IEEE which will return
LaTeX templates galore.  I am reasonably certain that you can put a lot
of this into the preamble perhaps by way of an \include statement so
that you don't have to muck around much in the LyX for submission.

Publish or perish :-)-O

Re: Adding label to all headings automatically

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

LyX also proposes a name if you manually add a label, so there must be
programming logic for the naming.  

If one could find that, and then use it for a script as below (probably
Python :-)-O) it might be really simple to implement :-)-O

Actually LyX notices if a document changes (for example when using RCS)
and then offers a reload :-)-O

Re: Lyx 2.3.3 doesn't print Glossary

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Thanks.

I have removed the preferences file and then it works.

I have added a few preferences and it still works.

If I change the screen background color to white it fails.  I'd really
like to have someone try this out and if that is the cause figure out
why and what can be done to fix this.

Re: LyX & compiling conference proceedings from PDF files

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Perhaps do one and export to LaTeX and compile.

If that works, find how and where this is inserted (in the .tex file)
and add another one manually.

If that compiles, run a tex2lyx on it.  If that works, it should be a
triviality to generate this semiautomagically :-)-O

2a) and 2b) are possible and explained in the pdfpages manual :-)-O

Small Sized Icons

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

œ
Hi,

I have figured out how to put default.ui into 

~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.3/ui 

and to modify it so that the View/Update and the VCS
toolbar are on by default and on the left side.  Very cool :-)-O

How do I make the Icon Size small as a default, which I usually do with
Right-Click into a Toolbar?

Command-F / Command-G

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Hi,

if I enter Command-F (on the mac) it opens the find/replace dialog.

How can I make it so that Command-G will repeat the search?  At the
moment I have to move the mouse to the dialog and click on Find (again),
which is slower and more cumbersome.

Re: Command-F / Command-G

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Command-G is currently bound to word-find-forward.  But, the dialog
doesn't "load" the search term so that a subsequent Command-G can find
it.

Re: ltxcmds.sty

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

The Oberdiek package has been changed, moving a number if packages out,
which now need to be manually installed.

On the Mac and Unix this is easy, just run something like

tlmgr update --all --self

and

tlmgr install ltxcmds

the latter you need to do for each missing package, or if you know
which ones are missing you can put all names on the line

Re: lyx 2.3.4-1

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Jürgen,

I had same issue on Mac 10.15.2 (and 2.3.4 not 2.3.4-1)

I however noticed that the file had US Letter as paper size.

After copying the file I changed that to default and it worked.

I ran

diff cnew.lyx cold.lyx

and this comes back

142c142
< \papersize default
---
> \papersize letterpaper

ie the only difference is the paper size so a

perl -i -p -e 's/\\papersize letterpaper/\\papersize default/' *.lyx

is in order, I think.

I actually ran

find ~ \
-not \( -path ~/Library -prune \) \
-not \( -path ~/.lyx -prune \) \
-name '*.lyx' \
-exec perl -i -p \
-e 's/\\papersize letterpaper/\\papersize default/' {} 
';'

as I would in any case only use A4 and not US letter :-)-O

Synced to the practice and from what I see in the log only presentations
are changed :-)-O. I put it into my handbook as well :-)-O

I have been through this (curly removal) before.

While Perl can remove braces easily and quick and dirty as in

s/\{//g;
s/\}//g;

this will remove ANY and ALL curlies.

If the LyX document contains other curlies they will also go. So you 
might need to copy the formula from the LyX file into a buffer, remove 
the curies and then paste again.

Writing a Regular Expression to do this intelligently (ie working from
the outside braces to the inside) is extremely difficult.

Never mind how the LyX code actually looks like. (I.e. who are the 
curlies represented there)

Zhao,

can you post a minimal working example LyX file here? A line of text or 
two and one single imported math formula.

greetings, el

Re: PDF output wrong size

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Richard (Opheim)

This is not a MWE. 

Remove EVERYTHING (packages, layouts) from the file (and preamble) which
does not cause the error. Or construct a virgin file, without anything 
other than a line or two of text, add the paper format and the image. 
If that works out add one modification, package at the time and 
regenerate the PDF.

That often helps me finding the cause :-)-O

Re: End-of-frame separator in lyx/Beamer

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

At the end of the frame, make the "environment" Standard (CMD-P S) and
hit return.
