citations

[Theo]

Hi,
i still have that weird problem with my messed up citations.
they are not in numeric order. it looks like this:

bla bla[29] bla bla
bla blabla bla[3] bla
bla bla[12].

i tried to hide the .bib file producing only [?] citations and then put it back
again. when i put back the .bib file everything was still unordered.

could anybody give me a hint please?

thanx a lot,
theo.

working with docbook

[Jeremy C. Reed]

I have a document that begins with:

!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC -//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.0//EN
   http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.0/docbookx.dtd;
   [!ENTITY mdash #8212;]
book
...

It is processed with openjade using a style sheet called:
.../share/sgml/docbook/dsssl/modular/print/docbook.dsl

I spent a lot of time manually converting the entire document to lyx, but 
this means when I make changes I have to do it in two places -- if I want 
to submit back changes. Maybe I should have just used lyx on the original 
XML document and save back in XML.

Can someone please point me to the documentation for reading and saving 
document in XML format using lyx?

I did find:

Document processing with LyX and SGML
http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/

Some articles about db4lyx and db2lyx.

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/DocBook is empty

5-Minute Review: Using LyX for Creating DocBook
 does not seems to show how to set it up, unless I overlooked it

I also tried grepping through my installed /usr/pkg/share/lyx/doc/ files, 
but didn't find information.

Re: help with titlesec package

[Marcelo Acuña]

  I am using titlesec package for customize titles,
 and I want to use it for replace fancy package in
 header and footer because this package have an
 error. But I don´t know how to use titlesec for
 this. Doc that became with package is very
 difficult. I need put a rule, title of chapter and
 title of section in header and number of page in the
 middle of footer. Where I can get documentation more
 easy?

 I believe this package is discussed in the /LaTeX
 Companion/.
I can´t get this book in my country.
 I think something close to what you want to do is
 also done in titlesec.tex,

I can get only titlesec.dvi

 You might try something like:
 
 \renewpagestyle{headings}[OPTIONAL]{
 \headrule
 \sethead{\chaptertitle}{}{\sectiontitle}
 \setfoot{}{\usepage}{}
 }

I put this in preamble and nothing occurs.
When I add
\pagestyle{headings}

I get error: extra }
I chequed for {} and all is OK, but error appears.

What happens?
Thanks in advance.
Marcelo

Re: citations

[GRAHAM M WRIGHT]

I had this problem as well.  The issue is the style of bibliography you are 
using.  Try changing 
the style to unstr (I 
think that is correct, if not it is something like that).  To change the style 
of your 
bibliography, just click on the 
bibliography in LyX and there should be a pulldown menu for style.

Instant Preview and TIPA in LyX 1.4.1

[Maria Gouskova]

Instant Preview does not seem to work for the phonetic fonts package  
TIPA or for Qtree in 1.4.1. I am using Mac OS version 10.4.6, and  
Instant Preview works correctly for math symbols/formulas, just not  
for phonetic fonts or trees.


Moreover, LyX 1.4.1 is just as slow when working with Instant Preview  
of TIPA as it was in version 1.4.0.


I recall something related was discussed in an earlier, pre-1.4  
exchange on this list, but I have not seen this mentioned since (I  
don't think). Will there be Instant Preview support for TIPA and for  
tree-drawing packages in future versions of LyX?

Getting started... What's missing?

[John B. Egger]

My Linux installation is LyX 1.3.4. Here's my rank-beginner's question: 
How do I get the text I'm typing to show spaces and punctuation marks? 
I'm following the Tutorial, and only seeing Whynospacesinmytestfile? 
(except that the ? is an omega, and so forth). When I view it with the 
DVI viewer it looks OK. In the screenshots on lyx.org, the text being 
entered looks normal (Times-style font, spaces between words, etc.).


What have I failed to install, or am otherwise missing?

John,

  Perhaps you meant that your LyX version is 1.3.4. That's very old. Get the
1.4.1 version; there may well be a ready-to-install version for your flavor
of linux distribution.



Here's my rank-beginner's question: How do I get the text I'm typing to
show spaces and punctuation marks?


  If you press the space bar you should see spaces between words. If you
press the punctuation key (period, comma, question mark, semi-colon, etc.)
you should see that, too.


I'm following the Tutorial, and only seeing Whynospacesinmytestfile?


  What do you have set in preferences for the display font?

Thanks, Rich... yes, it's my LyX that is 1.3.4. I was using the default 
fonts (Times, Helvetica, and Courier; the first two displayed as 
italicized in Preferences). Not only my new tutorial file, but the 
Introduction, Tutorial, and Users Guide also appeared in this italicized 
font with symbols and Greek letters for punctuation and no spaces 
between words. After your question I changed the Roman font to New 
Century Schoolbook, and the display was perfect. The space bar produces 
visible spaces, and punctuation marks are displayed properly instead of 
as Greek letters. Maybe there's a problem with my Times font.


I downloaded 1.4.1 and extracted the tar.gz but the rest of the install 
process looks a bit complicated.


Anyway, thanks for suggesting the font. That problem seems solved!

John,

  The process is a simple, five-step one:

  1.) tar xzvf filename-a.b.c.tar.gz

  2.) cd filename-a.b.c

  3.) ./configure (You can check options and the default install directory by
running './configure --help | less' first.)

  4.) make

  5.) make install (as root). If you use Slackware, Debian, or Red Hat, you
can replace this step with 'checkinstall' (might need to find and build it
first). That will let you build a package for these distributions.

  You can preceed each of the above commands with 'time ' and it will tell
you how much time it took for the command to complete.

Happy building,

Rich

visible spaces, and punctuation marks are displayed properly instead of 
as Greek letters. Maybe there's a problem with my Times font.


I downloaded 1.4.1 and extracted the tar.gz but the rest of the install 
process looks a bit complicated.


Anyway, thanks for suggesting the font. That problem seems solved!

John,

  The process is a simple, five-step one:

  1.) tar xzvf 

  2.) cd filename-a.b.c

  3.) ./configure (You can check options and the default install directory by
running './configure --help | less' first.)

  4.) make

  5.) make install (as root). If you use Slackware, Debian, or Red Hat, you
can replace this step with 'checkinstall' (might need to find and build it
first). That will let you build a package for these distributions.

  You can preceed each of the above commands with 'time ' and it will tell
you how much time it took for the command to complete.

Happy building,

Rich
