Did you try to write the commands you usually have in your latex files
into the latex preamble of the lyx file. You can access the latex
preamble from the scroll down menu layout - LaTeX Preamble.

You can do in two ways,
1. put the three line of your latex command as an ERT
in the top of your document (change with command C-l
or Layout -- TeX style [I don't know exactly, my LyX
is in german], or...
2. put your latex command in latex preamble, by using
command Insert -- latex preamble
In my LyX, both worked fine...

But this gets to be quite tiring after a while.
Maybe you could produce some Ascii art or post a link to some picture
to show what you want to achieve. I have never used many ortected blanks to
shuffle math around.
Don't you like (if only for 'readability') an indented layout?
For example if lyx had it's way I would produce:
\begin{equation} \sum \begin{Sb} 0\le i\le le m \\ 0jn \end{Sb} Q(i,j)
\end{equation}
For readability I might prefer:
\begin{equation}
\sum \begin{Sb}
0\le i\le m \\
0 j n
\end{Sb} Q(i,j)
\end{equation}
This is a very small example. If you need very long and complicated expressions
and you want to keep the latex readable in lyx you just have to keep using
C-space and C-return regularly. Not only is it tiring but the little blue
marks and 'arrows' are distracting from the effect you want to create.
I have not looked to see if anything is possible with nesting. But I
suspect that if it worked it would quickly become complicated.
I have also not looked at the lyx-code environment. As described in
the User's Guide it seems to do what I want but it typesets text in
typewriter-style font and seems to have a few quirks.
Actually what is needed is a latex-code environment.
Have you had a look at http://www.lyx.org/help?
Yes, and diligently read the manuals, hints, etc..
Which version of LyX are you using?
LyX-1.1.6fix3

I have generated a bibliography-list with pybliographic, but now I'm

The file generated should be the bibtex file you use.

But you don't 'include'
the file--what you do is you say at the end of your document in TeX (red text)

Bibfile is without the .bib extension.
In recent LyX versions, you can also use the menu:
InsertListsContentBibtex
(not sure about the names, my LyX is German) will pop up a window where you
give the filename (without .bib) and style and then insert a grey button at
the cursor position. In the printed version this is replaced with the
References section (i.e. it works in the same manner as the TOC).
All you need to do to make the bib
file available is to put it in your TEXDIR/bibtex/bib directory, or whatever
the equivalent is on your system, and run
texconfig rehash
As far as I know, it should also work to have the bibfile in the working

Possible bug related to BibTex insert dialog, showing the same entry multiple times
Hi
I just wanted to report the following behaviour:
In the dialog to insert Bibtex-references, each bibtex entry appeared
several times. So if I had a bibtex entry
@article{Ridderstrom:2000, };
The list would show
Ridderstrom:2000:
Ridderstrom:2000
When I changed the content in the Bibtex reference box from
chr.default,chr
to
chr.default.bib,chr.bib
this behaviour disappeared!
So I guess this fixes the problem, but then the 'latex-output' looks
'ugly':
The style file: plain.bst
Database file #1: chr.default.bib.bib
Database file #2: chr.bib
but I can live with it of course.

lines go over page edge
Some of my text lines, especially with long inline formulas, go over the right margin, even over the right edge of the paper so that they aren't visible at all. Obviously this is not acceptable.

Ctrl+shift+m to insert an unnumbered display formula

You can use the LaTeX paragraph layout. You can use spaces instead of
C-space, but you will still need to use C-enter.
Also note that since this is a paragraph style, you might get an unwanted
space before/after it in the output.

The correct way to change to sans serif font is to put
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
in the preamble.
If you want to use the helvetica font instead of the default Computer Modern
Sans Serif font, then use
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{phv}
In lyx, you can do the latter by selecting helvetica as the font in the

You are putting the table in the line of the caption which is forbidden.
You need to put it either above the caption (go to the start of the caption,
press enter, and then enter the table) or below the caption (go to the end
of the caption, press enter, and then enter the table).

Minipage borders and shading

Rather than mucking around with \hrulefill, I sure would like to find a way
to put a border on a minipage, shade a minipage, or both. Any ideas?

Question about using both lyx-win and lyx-linux simultaneously (?)
Hi, I have a problem using win and linux version of lyx simultaneously. At our lab we have both linux (redhat 7.2) and windows nt (cygwin, miktex, xfree86). I have installed lyx on both OS's successfully (I think). I have written my report on windows machine without big problems. But if I copy that report file to the linux machine and open it with lyx-linux then it doesn't show all the text but it shows space (nothing) instead. If I select that part with my mouse then it appears, but it disappears again when I do something else like inserting text. How can I fix this problem ? When I open this document with a 'normal' editor like vi, it looks fine. So I'm not sure if it's win-linux file-porting problem or if it's only the linux-lyx not installed/configured correctly. Thank you, Chang-Kwon Kang ps. the reason that I don't keep using the windows machine is because it's sometimes occupied by somebody else.

stylesheet / cite format question
This is really a stylesheet cite formating question for latex, but...
I'm writing a paper that I want to look like a standard physics (science)
publication. I'm using the revtex4 template it is looks great, my
equations are numbered, etc. But since I'm citing the same books many
times but with different pages, I'm using \cite[p. 130]{author}. Problem
is that is shows up as:
I'm going since my reference now[1 p. 130].
What I want is for the page number to go in the bibligraphy at the end of
the document (ie: Smith, Title: 1997, p. 130) Is there a simple option /
stylesheet that will do this or an easy hack? I've tried different formats
in revtext and revtex4 (aps, pra, etc) but with no luck. The
revtex/journal-name option overwrites the bibtex .bst reference in the
bibliography, so I haven't been able to try different .bst files.
I'm just starting to use lyx and I have to say it is really awesome! The
thought of using a normal wordprocessor to write a 20-30 page paper
with lots of formated, numbered equations is scary.

If so, could I get some pointers on the installation procedure, so that it works with Lyx? Many thanks! Martin

You can do in two ways,
1. put the three line of your latex command as an ERT
in the top of your document (change with command C-l
or Layout -- TeX style [I don't know exactly, my LyX
is in german], or...
2. put your latex command in latex preamble, by using
command Insert -- latex preamble
In my LyX, both worked fine...

But this gets to be quite tiring after a while.
Maybe you could produce some Ascii art or post a link to some picture
to show what you want to achieve. I have never used many ortected blanks to
shuffle math around.
Don't you like (if only for 'readability') an indented layout?
For example if lyx had it's way I would produce:
\begin{equation} \sum \begin{Sb} 0\le i\le le m \\ 0jn \end{Sb} Q(i,j)
\end{equation}
For readability I might prefer:
\begin{equation}
\sum \begin{Sb}
0\le i\le m \\
0 j n
\end{Sb} Q(i,j)
\end{equation}
This is a very small example. If you need very long and complicated expressions
and you want to keep the latex readable in lyx you just have to keep using
C-space and C-return regularly. Not only is it tiring but the little blue
marks and 'arrows' are distracting from the effect you want to create.
I have not looked to see if anything is possible with nesting. But I
suspect that if it worked it would quickly become complicated.
I have also not looked at the lyx-code environment. As described in
the User's Guide it seems to do what I want but it typesets text in
typewriter-style font and seems to have a few quirks.
Actually what is needed is a latex-code environment.
Have you had a look at http://www.lyx.org/help?
Yes, and diligently read the manuals, hints, etc..
Which version of LyX are you using?
LyX-1.1.6fix3

The file generated should be the bibtex file you use.

But you don't 'include'
the file--what you do is you say at the end of your document in TeX (red text)

Bibfile is without the .bib extension.
In recent LyX versions, you can also use the menu:
InsertListsContentBibtex
(not sure about the names, my LyX is German) will pop up a window where you
give the filename (without .bib) and style and then insert a grey button at
the cursor position. In the printed version this is replaced with the
References section (i.e. it works in the same manner as the TOC).
All you need to do to make the bib
file available is to put it in your TEXDIR/bibtex/bib directory, or whatever
the equivalent is on your system, and run
texconfig rehash
As far as I know, it should also work to have the bibfile in the working

Possible bug related to BibTex insert dialog, showing the same entry multiple times
Hi
I just wanted to report the following behaviour:
In the dialog to insert Bibtex-references, each bibtex entry appeared
several times. So if I had a bibtex entry
@article{Ridderstrom:2000, };
The list would show
Ridderstrom:2000:
Ridderstrom:2000
When I changed the content in the Bibtex reference box from
chr.default,chr
to
chr.default.bib,chr.bib
this behaviour disappeared!
So I guess this fixes the problem, but then the 'latex-output' looks
'ugly':
The style file: plain.bst
Database file #1: chr.default.bib.bib
Database file #2: chr.bib
but I can live with it of course.

You can use the LaTeX paragraph layout. You can use spaces instead of

Also note that since this is a paragraph style, you might get an unwanted
space before/after it in the output.

The correct way to change to sans serif font is to put

in the preamble.
If you want to use the helvetica font instead of the default Computer Modern

\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{phv}
In lyx, you can do the latter by selecting helvetica as the font in the

You are putting the table in the line of the caption which is forbidden.
You need to put it either above the caption (go to the start of the caption,
press enter, and then enter the table) or below the caption (go to the end
of the caption, press enter, and then enter the table).

stylesheet / cite format question
This is really a stylesheet cite formating question for latex, but...
I'm writing a paper that I want to look like a standard physics (science)
publication. I'm using the revtex4 template it is looks great, my
equations are numbered, etc. But since I'm citing the same books many
times but with different pages, I'm using \cite[p. 130]{author}. Problem
is that is shows up as:
I'm going since my reference now[1 p. 130].
What I want is for the page number to go in the bibligraphy at the end of
the document (ie: Smith, Title: 1997, p. 130) Is there a simple option /
stylesheet that will do this or an easy hack? I've tried different formats
in revtext and revtex4 (aps, pra, etc) but with no luck. The
revtex/journal-name option overwrites the bibtex .bst reference in the
bibliography, so I haven't been able to try different .bst files.
I'm just starting to use lyx and I have to say it is really awesome! The
thought of using a normal wordprocessor to write a 20-30 page paper
with lots of formated, numbered equations is scary.

Installing SIGGRAPH Class for Lyx
Hello! I'm a new user of Lyx and Latex, and I'm attempting to install the SIGGRAPH Latex class (http://www.siggraph.org/publications/prep/siggraph.tar.gz) so that it I can use it with Lyx. The Customization help document explains step-by-step how to install the Latex class FoilTeX, which I downloaded and successfully installed in my /usr/local directory. I followed the same steps for the SIGGRAPH class, but Lyx still won't display it when I search through the Layout - Document list. Has anyone successfully installed the SIGGRAPH class? If so, could I get some pointers on the installation procedure, so that it works with Lyx? Many thanks! Martin
Fw: Question about using both lyx-win and lyx-linux simultaneously (?)

Convert the windows file into a unix file format. WinDOS' does append CR/LF at every line whereas in unix a single LF marks the end of a line. You can use vi (when viewing the lyx file enter :set ff=unix then save that file) or dos2unix a standard linux command. Hopefully that will fix the problem. Claus - Original Message - From: Chang-Kwon Kang [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 7:29 PM Subject: Question about using both lyx-win and lyx-linux simultaneously (?) Hi, I have a problem using win and linux version of lyx simultaneously. At our lab we have both linux (redhat 7.2) and windows nt (cygwin, miktex, xfree86). I have installed lyx on both OS's successfully (I think). I have written my report on windows machine without big problems. But if I copy that report file to the linux machine and open it with lyx-linux then it doesn't show all the text but it shows space (nothing) instead. If I select that part with my mouse then it appears, but it disappears again when I do something else like inserting text. How can I fix this problem ? When I open this document with a 'normal' editor like vi, it looks fine. So I'm not sure if it's win-linux file-porting problem or if it's only the linux-lyx not installed/configured correctly. Thank you, Chang-Kwon Kang ps. the reason that I don't keep using the windows machine is because it's sometimes occupied by somebody else.

Did you try to write the commands you usually have in your latex files
into the latex preamble of the lyx file. You can access the latex
preamble from the scroll down menu "layout -> LaTeX Preamble".

You can do in two ways,
1. put the three line of your latex command as an ERT
in the top of your document (change with command C-l
or Layout --> TeX style [I don't know exactly, my LyX
is in german], or...
2. put your latex command in latex preamble, by using
command Insert --> latex preamble
In my LyX, both worked fine...

Don't you like (if only for 'readability') an indented layout?
For example if lyx had it's way I would produce:
\begin{equation} \sum \begin{Sb} 0\le i\le le m \\ 0 Which version of LyX are you using?

In recent LyX versions, you can also use the menu:
Insert>Lists>Bibtex
(not sure about the names, my LyX is German) will pop up a window where you
give the filename (without .bib) and style and then insert a grey button at
the cursor position. In the printed version this is replaced with the
References section (i.e. it works in the same manner as the TOC).

As far as I know, it should also work to have the bibfile in the working
directory (i.e. the same as the main .lyx file)

Possible bug related to BibTex insert dialog, showing the same entry multiple times
Hi
I just wanted to report the following behaviour:
In the dialog to insert Bibtex-references, each bibtex entry appeared
several times. So if I had a bibtex entry
@article{Ridderstrom:2000, };
The list would show
Ridderstrom:2000:
Ridderstrom:2000
When I changed the content in the "Bibtex reference" box from
chr.default,chr
to
chr.default.bib,chr.bib
this behaviour disappeared!
So I guess this fixes the problem, but then the 'latex-output' looks
'ugly':
The style file: plain.bst
Database file #1: chr.default.bib.bib
Database file #2: chr.bib
but I can live with it of course.

eps filename bug?
If I try to insert and eps figure that is in a directory that has a space in it like "/home/steve/1st year/test.eps" it says I can't use illegal chars, but lyx will save the .lyx there.

lines go over page edge
Some of my text lines, especially with long inline formulas, go over the right margin, even over the right edge of the paper so that they aren't visible at all. Obviously this is not acceptable. Is there any way to force LaTeX to wrap too long lines? (I thought this was a common question, but didn't find help from archives/lyx-tips)

Ctrl+shift+m to insert an unnumbered display formula
Alt+m n to make it numbered (a better way to make it numbered is to insert a
label using alt+i l).

For each cellm use the layout->paragraph dialog, and set alignment to left.

You can use the LaTeX paragraph layout. You can use spaces instead of
C-space, but you will still need to use C-enter.
Also note that since this is a paragraph style, you might get an unwanted
space before/after it in the output.

The correct way to change to sans serif font is to put
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
in the preamble.
If you want to use the helvetica font instead of the default Computer Modern
Sans Serif font, then use
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{phv}
In lyx, you can do the latter by selecting helvetica as the font in the
document dialog.

You are putting the table in the line of the caption which is forbidden.
You need to put it either above the caption (go to the start of the caption,
press enter, and then enter the table) or below the caption (go to the end
of the caption, press enter, and then enter the table).

Maybe you could send me a short example of your work just to make sure we
are not talking about completely different things.
'Sb' is indeed not supported natively (yet), but this would mean only
trouble with the limits of the sum, not for the full formula. And I even
think this could be worked around using macros a bit...
