question about classes in LyX 1.5
I've having difficulty getting custom classes to work on LyX 1.5 beta for mac intel. In particular, a custom class does not show up as an option within the document settings even though it appears in the TeX information. What's bizarre, however, is that when I click on the show path check box, the class does not show up. The custom class is in the ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5/clsFiles.lst file so the situation is a bit puzzling. Any suggestions are appreciated. As an aside, I've had no trouble creating new classes and adding them to previous versions of LyX with texhash and a reconfigure. Thanks, -Brian

What is the easiest way to cite websites in this case, such that they
come up in my bibliograpy showing a clickable URL, and hopefully a

I use the \url coomand in the howpublished field of the MISC entry
@MISC{cam_calib_toolbox,

this won't do the last-accessed date thing though...

1.5.0svn won't use installed style?
I'm using svn as of yesterday. I've installed nomencl and LyX sees it. When I go the the Tools/TeX Information menu, it shows in the Styles, and will show me the contents of the file. However, when I process my ducument, I get two errors, both 'Unspecified control sequence', the first at \makenomenclature and the second at \printnomenclature. So why the errors if nomencl is installed?

Re: 1.5.0svn won't use installed style?
Export to LaTeX. Better yet, set a LaTeX viewer at
ToolsPreferencesFile FormatsLaTeX (plain). Any text editor will do.
Then you can just View LaTeX (plain). Do you see \usepackage{nomencl}
in the preamble? I'm guessing that is the problem. Can you post a
minimal example that causes the problem? Depending upon what you're
doing, you may need to put this in your preamble manually. Or it may be
that this is broken in 1.5.svn and we need to fix it.
By the way, I wouldn't actually recommend USING 1.5svn. Experimenting,
yes. Using, no. There have been major changes from 1.4.x, and there are
still plenty of problems to be cleaned up.

Is there any way to make JabRef push to LyX work in Windows XP?
I understand that in Windows environment the citation push function from JabRef to LyX doesn't work, due to some OS-level implementation problem.

What I understand about this is that JabRef simply writes out the
citation entry to a file named lyxpipe.in. The code segment is like:
.
final File lyxpipe = new File( Globals.prefs.get(lyxpipe) +.in);
.
try {
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(lyxpipe);
BufferedWriter lyx_out = new BufferedWriter(fw);
String citeStr = ;
citeStr = LYXCMD:sampleclient:citation-insert: + keyString;
lyx_out.write(citeStr + \n);
lyx_out.close();
} catch (IOException excep) {
couldNotWrite = true;
return;
}
.
My question is: How LyX goes the receiving? Any code segment example?

with a portable one.
It should not be very hard to implement even for a newcomer in the LyX
project. If someone's interested, comesee us at the devel list :-)

1.5.0svn won't use installed style?
I'm using svn as of yesterday. I've installed nomencl and LyX sees it. When I go the the Tools/TeX Information menu, it shows in the Styles, and will show me the contents of the file. However, when I process my ducument, I get two errors, both 'Unspecified control sequence', the first at \makenomenclature and the second at \printnomenclature.

Export to LaTeX. Better yet, set a LaTeX viewer at

Then you can just View LaTeX (plain). Do you see \usepackage{nomencl}
in the preamble? I'm guessing that is the problem. Can you post a
minimal example that causes the problem? Depending upon what you're
doing, you may need to put this in your preamble manually. Or it may be
that this is broken in 1.5.svn and we need to fix it.
By the way, I wouldn't actually recommend USING 1.5svn. Experimenting,
yes. Using, no. There have been major changes from 1.4.x, and there are
still plenty of problems to be cleaned up.

What I understand about this is that JabRef simply writes out the
citation entry to a file named lyxpipe.in. The code segment is like:
.
final File lyxpipe = new File( Globals.prefs.get(lyxpipe) +.in);
.
try {
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(lyxpipe);
BufferedWriter lyx_out = new BufferedWriter(fw);
String citeStr = ;
citeStr = LYXCMD:sampleclient:citation-insert: + keyString;
lyx_out.write(citeStr + \n);
lyx_out.close();
} catch (IOException excep) {
couldNotWrite = true;
return;
}
.
My question is: How LyX goes the receiving? Any code segment example?

with a portable one.
It should not be very hard to implement even for a newcomer in the LyX

Where can I found out about using other 'styles'? I am just using
whatever the default is, I presume.
I found that:
For 'unpublished' items in Jabref, put the URL in the 'note' field.
For 'techreport' items, use the 'title' field.
For 'misc' items, use the 'howpublished' field.
but none of them are clickable and none of the URL fields from Jabref
are displaying for 'article' or 'inproceedings' types. Almost every
paper in my .bib file has either a URL or a DOI. From you say, it's a
limitation in BibTex, rather than LyX.
If anyone can suggest a not too painful workaround that works now, that
would be be much appreciated. Polluting the 'title' and 'note' fields
with URLs seems like a poor solution at this stage.

question about classes in LyX 1.5
I've having difficulty getting custom classes to work on LyX 1.5 beta for mac intel. In particular, a custom class does not show up as an option within the document settings even though it appears in the TeX information. What's bizarre, however, is that when I click on the show path check box, the class does not show up. The custom class is in the ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5/clsFiles.lst file so the situation is a bit puzzling. Any suggestions are appreciated. As an aside, I've had no trouble creating new classes and adding them to previous versions of LyX with texhash and a reconfigure. Thanks, -Brian

"feature" (since 1.4.0). The reasoning was that we now have the tabular toolbar (additional to the menu) to insert/delete rows. For the toolbars, see http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UserInterface#toc2 (in 1.5, you can enable/disable the toolbars via the menu, view->toolbars I think). Jürgen
Problems with Bibtex
Hi, I have recently moved to Vista and until today I had not tested LyX. The document I'm working on compiles perfectly, but without the bibliographic references. I exported the document to LaTeX and no reference to the bibliography used is there. I deleted the bibliography and inserted it again, but it isn't working. Any ideas? -- - Julio Rojas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Citing websites?

What is the easiest way to cite websites in this case, such that they
come up in my bibliograpy showing a clickable URL, and hopefully a
last-accessed date?
I use the \url coomand in the howpublished field of the MISC entry
@MISC{cam_calib_toolbox,
howpublished = {\url{http://www.vision.caltech.edu/bouguetj/calib_doc/}},
owner = {Utente},
timestamp = {2007.01.11},
url = {www.vision.caltech.edu/bouguetj/calib_doc/}
}
this won't do the "last-accessed date" thing though...

Bibliography styles can be chosen in the drop down menu when you insert
the bibliography, or you can click on the "BibTeX Bibliography" inset to
get the dialog. Mostly, I'd recommend experimentation. There are docs
around for these things, but they're not always that helpful. You might
also want to check "Natbib" under Document>Settings>Bibliography or use
Jurabib. Docs for these are here:
ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/natbib.pdf
http://jurabib.homelinux.org/jurabib/docu.html
Yes, these are complex, but powerful.

If you want them to be clickable, put "\url{your.url.here}". The URL
field handles that automatically. Also, make sure you have
"\usepackage{url}" in your preamble. That handles breaking URLs better.

It's explicitly been made compatible with JabRef. It totally rocks. LyX
support will come, I think, pretty much as soon as the main components
stabilize. It's pretty alpha right now.

What I understand about this is that JabRef simply writes out the
citation entry to a file named "lyxpipe.in". The code segment is like:
.
final File lyxpipe = new File( Globals.prefs.get("lyxpipe") +".in");
.
try {
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(lyxpipe);
BufferedWriter lyx_out = new BufferedWriter(fw);
String citeStr = "";
citeStr = "LYXCMD:sampleclient:citation-insert:" + keyString;
lyx_out.write(citeStr + "\n");
lyx_out.close();
} catch (IOException excep) {
couldNotWrite = true;
return;
}
.
My question is: How LyX goes the receiving? Any code segment example?

If I was not wrong, it did not work in cygwin!

How can this be done? I tried to do the same with the armTeX-package for Armenian and failed. What really sucks with these kind of language-packages is that you have to learn a special input scheme, like that "kha" produces the "क". Is there a possibility to map these inputs internally, so that the user can directly insert the language characters with his keyboard. regards Uwe
