backref
I try to locate some references in my document by using the package backref. I
do, however, get only
pages (actually Seiten, since it is a german document)
behind the reference, no page number. What do I do wrong? I inserted
\usepackage[ngerman]{backref}

I doubt if putting them elsewhere in the caption would make any difference, It does not. I have the label always at the end of the caption without problems. but when you click on the label icon, the default name of the label is based on the first few words after the cursor. Actually, the default is the first few words of the caption, so the cursor position within a caption does not matter. GM

Command-buffer inset-insert syntax
Hi, I'd like to insert a cross-reference via the command-buffer. Unfortunately I'm note sure about the syntax. I found the following on http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/InsertingReferences: For versions of LyX subsequent to 1.4, you have to use |inset-insert| instead. The format is |LYXCMD:anything:inset-insert ref LatexCommand ref reference referenceName \end_inset|. There's also an optional name NAME argument that seems to work in docbook: |link linkend=referenceNameNAME/link|. But I don't understand how to do it. How can I insert a Formated reference to the label sec:test? Additionally I'd like to use the command-buffer to go to a label. In http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxFunctionList1-3-2 I found reference-goto but this functions does not seem to be available in 1.5.x any more. Is there an other function allowing to go to given label via command-buffer in 1.5.x? Regards Toby

Hi all, You know what would be good documentation? The 25 Biggest Surprises in LyX and How to Work With Them. It's basically a FAQ with potential landmines and how to avoid/workaround them. I'll start out with the ones I know of: * Must hit Enter to declare column widths in tables * Must use units on all lengths * Must delete/recreate source tree to compile after config failure * Must run texhash after adding new LaTeX class/style * Must reconfiigure after change to layout file * You can make a script to do the reconfigure * TOC/Index/crossreference often require multiple compiles to register * Confusion between LyX code and LaTeX code * LaTeX code is case sensitive, LyX code isn't Perhaps others can add to the list and we can write the document.

Re: Needed documentation
Hi Richard Heck and Rich Shepard and everyone, In my original post I meant to say a lot of the surprises were TeX/LaTeX in nature, not under LyX's control. Nevertheless, to a newbie, they're all LyX problems. The other thing I forgot to say is the problem is the surprise, not the behavior. Most LyX behaviors are reasonable, as long as the user expects them. I've responded in the following: On Monday 25 February 2008 11:49, you wrote: Steve Litt wrote: You know what would be good documentation? The 25 Biggest Surprises in LyX and How to Work With Them. Sounds like an excellent thing for the wiki. As I'll note, it might be worth distinguishing here between LyX surprises---things we could fix---and LaTeX's own idiosyncracies---things we can't fix. Could somebody please put the Wiki Stub in the proper place and post its location on the list? Then the rest of us can write the documentation. As far as distinquishing LyX as opposed to LaTeX/TeX, definitely. I meant to bring that up. Also, there's not necessarily anything to fix but the documentation. The behavior isn't the bad thing, the surprise is the problem. Once we documement, for instance, the need for units on all lengths, it's no longer surprising, and it's a good thing. It's basically a FAQ with potential landmines and how to avoid/workaround them. I'll start out with the ones I know of: * Must hit Enter to declare column widths in tables * Must use units on all lengths This is LaTeX's requirement. I suppose LyX could have a default unit, but that would probably be a worse surprise. I'd cry if you changed the current behavior. The thing is to prepare the newbie for this using documentation. * Must delete/recreate source tree to compile after config failure Sometimes. We should document when, or else to be on the safe side just say do it (because it takes only a minute and can save hours of troubleshooting).

Ref+Text wording in Ebook
Hi all, My new book is an Ebook, but it's 2 sided in case the customer wants to print it. Trouble is, sometimes the Ref+Text cross-reference comes out like this: a diagram like in gure 3.1 on the facing page The preceding makes absolutely no sense in an Ebook, although it makes perfect sense in a 2 sided paper book. Is there a way, without making it a one sided book and therefore messing up the gutter margin and the chapter begin pages, that I can globally configure cross references for the previous page, the next page, or even page 32, but never the facing page?

Dear LyX users, I'm not sure if I'm asking the same question as in the other thread that mentions rtf import problems, but I've been having an issue as well.

Koma-script book class title page modifications
I'm looking for a little help modifying the standard Koma-script book
class output for, you guessed it, a dissertation. I have become
intimately familiar with the manual for this class and the stuff on
the Wiki, but I'm still stumped.
I thought I had my requirements met with a bunch of \extratitle{}
stuff, but then I learned I need the title page to be _after_ the TOC,
List of Figures, etc. I think the simplest approach is to suppress the
title page and make it up another way. Is there a way to suppress the
title page? I tried putting \title{} in the Preamble and then not
having a title environment in LyX, but that gives LaTeX errors. Any
help is appreciated.
Basically, I need 3 freely modifiable pages in the front followed by
the TOC, Acknowledgments, LOT, LOF, Abstract, then the Title, and then
everything else.

Click in the scrollbar doesn't advance enough
Hi all, Clicking in the LyX scrollbar doesn't advance the LyX screen such that the bottom line is now the top. Sometimes it gets close, and sometimes you need to click the scrollbar 2 or 3 times to advance one screenful. I couldn't fix the problem with qt4config's Interface-Wheel_scroll_lines setting. I couldn't find anything in LyX's Tools-Preferences system to change it. Most apps go up one screen minus one line (or down one screen minus one line) when you click inside the scrollbar, so this behavior is unexpected.

Why Does ERT Cause 'Undefined Control Sequence?'
Every time the service name is in the text, it's followed by an ERT box containing \textservicemark. For some reason, this generates an 'undefined control sequence' error in LaTeX/TeX. Here's a sample from the log file: LaTeX Font Info:Font shape `T1/ppl/bx/n' in size 14.4 not available (Font) Font shape `T1/ppl/b/n' tried instead on input line 75. ! Undefined control sequence. l.88 PermitWatch\textservicemark is hosted on secure servers and accessible The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type ' and the correct spelling (e.g., \hbox'). Otherwise just continue, and I'll forget about whatever was undefined. What did I do incorrectly?

Re: footnotes problem, .rtf import, view source on 1.5.3
Quoting rgheck [EMAIL PROTECTED]: You don't have Use Paragraph's Default Alignment? The point of this option is to undo customization. That's why I added it. ;-) Ah! I didn't try it before because it says [justified] But this indeed fixes the formatting of the pasted footnote content. Thanks! Hmm. We had a really, really long discussion about what this button should say. And now it looks as if maybe we chose badly. Would Default by itself have been clearer? Or would removing the [Justified] part have been helpful? I'd like to get this right. rh My take is that if justified wasn't there I probably would have tried it. But if it actually removes paragraph formatting (even if it resorts to the default for the context) wouldn't it be clearer to say Remove Paragraph Formatting? I'm surmising it's doing both. So I understand the problem in the wording. And I appreciate your interest in the detail here! How about Remove the paragraph formatting you didn't really want? :-) But then you might want to save the telepathic features of the program for a later version. :-) jamie faunt
Error during lyx 1.5.3 compile
Dear lyx-Users, I am not sure if this is the correct place to pose my question, but I encountered an error when installing lyx on a linux box running Ximian.

Command-buffer inset-insert syntax
Hi, I'd like to insert a cross-reference via the command-buffer. Unfortunately I'm note sure about the syntax. I found the following on http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/InsertingReferences: For versions of LyX subsequent to 1.4, you have to use |inset-insert| instead. The format is |LYXCMD:anything:inset-insert ref LatexCommand ref reference referenceName \end_inset|. There's also an optional name NAME argument that seems to work in docbook: |link linkend=referenceNameNAME/link|. But I don't understand how to do it. How can I insert a Formated reference to the label sec:test? Additionally I'd like to use the command-buffer to go to a label. In http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxFunctionList1-3-2 I found reference-goto but this functions does not seem to be available in 1.5.x any more. Is there an other function allowing to go to given label via command-buffer in 1.5.x? Regards Toby

Re: Needed documentation
Hi Richard Heck and Rich Shepard and everyone, In my original post I meant to say a lot of the surprises were TeX/LaTeX in nature, not under LyX's control. Nevertheless, to a newbie, they're all LyX problems. The other thing I forgot to say is the problem is the surprise, not the behavior. Most LyX behaviors are reasonable, as long as the user expects them. I've responded in the following: On Monday 25 February 2008 11:49, you wrote: Steve Litt wrote: You know what would be good documentation? The 25 Biggest Surprises in LyX and How to Work With Them. Sounds like an excellent thing for the wiki. As I'll note, it might be worth distinguishing here between LyX surprises---things we could fix---and LaTeX's own idiosyncracies---things we can't fix. Could somebody please put the Wiki Stub in the proper place and post its location on the list? Then the rest of us can write the documentation. As far as distinquishing LyX as opposed to LaTeX/TeX, definitely. I meant to bring that up. Also, there's not necessarily anything to fix but the documentation. The behavior isn't the bad thing, the surprise is the problem. Once we documement, for instance, the need for units on all lengths, it's no longer surprising, and it's a good thing. It's basically a FAQ with potential landmines and how to avoid/workaround them. I'll start out with the ones I know of: * Must hit Enter to declare column widths in tables * Must use units on all lengths This is LaTeX's requirement. I suppose LyX could have a default unit, but that would probably be a worse surprise. I'd cry if you changed the current behavior. The thing is to prepare the newbie for this using documentation. * Must delete/recreate source tree to compile after config failure Sometimes. We should document when, or else to be on the safe side just say do it (because it takes only a minute and can save hours of troubleshooting).

Koma-script book class title page modifications
I'm looking for a little help modifying the standard Koma-script book
class output for, you guessed it, a dissertation. I have become
intimately familiar with the manual for this class and the stuff on
the Wiki, but I'm still stumped.
I thought I had my requirements met with a bunch of \extratitle{}
stuff, but then I learned I need the title page to be _after_ the TOC,
List of Figures, etc. I think the simplest approach is to suppress the
title page and make it up another way. Is there a way to suppress the
title page? I tried putting \title{} in the Preamble and then not
having a title environment in LyX, but that gives LaTeX errors. Any
help is appreciated.
Basically, I need 3 freely modifiable pages in the front followed by
the TOC, Acknowledgments, LOT, LOF, Abstract, then the Title, and then
everything else.

Sometimes it gets close, and sometimes you need to click the scrollbar 2 or 3 times to advance one screenful. I couldn't fix the problem with qt4config's Interface-Wheel_scroll_lines setting. I couldn't find anything in LyX's Tools-Preferences system to change it. Most apps go up one screen minus one line (or down one screen minus one line) when you click inside the scrollbar, so this behavior is unexpected.

with opensuse 10.3 I lost Lyx
Hello, I make an upgrade from opensuse 10.2 to 10.3 and now, Lyx cannot compile my book. I get an Undefined control (I don´t remember more) in each \justifying and \justify in the document. Opensuse 10.3 deleted my latex and install TexLive distro of Latex. How I can resolve this trouble?

Problem with 1.5.4
This is the first time I've run into a problem after upgrading; in this case from -1.5.3 to -1.5.4 (on Slackware). I held off loading a .txt file today until the new version was built and replaced the earlier version. Now when I try File - Import - Plain text, join lines it fails because /home/rshepard/.lyx/templates/default.lyx is from a different version of LyX, but a temporary file to convert it cannot be converted. Strange. Very strange. The contents of ~/.lyx/templates is: -rw-rw-r-- 1 rshepard users 907 2000-09-07 10:49 2colREADME -rw-r--r-- 1 rshepard users 1003 2000-08-30 14:27 2colTemplate.lyx -rw-r--r-- 1 rshepard users 12272 2000-08-30 14:46 2columnArticleWithPics.dvi -rw-r--r-- 1 rshepard users 8989 2000-08-30 14:46 2columnArticleWithPics.lyx -rw-rw-r-- 1 rshepard users61 2000-04-10 14:46 README -rw-rw-r-- 1 rshepard users 692 2007-02-15 06:54 defaults.lyx -rw-rw-r-- 1 rshepard users 1787 2000-04-10 14:43 letter-he.lyx -rw-r--r-- 1 rshepard users 3039 2004-08-31 16:41 math_macros.lyx -rw-r--r-- 1 rshepard users 933 2004-03-24 11:01 math_macros.tex -rw-r--r-- 1 rshepard users 6532 2000-08-30 07:17 nihongo.eps -rw-r--r-- 1 rshepard users 25481 2004-11-22 12:37 template.lyx Notice that the most recent is defaults.lyx and that's from a year ago.

Why Does ERT Cause 'Undefined Control Sequence?'
Every time the service name is in the text, it's followed by an ERT box containing \textservicemark. For some reason, this generates an 'undefined control sequence' error in LaTeX/TeX. Here's a sample from the log file: LaTeX Font Info:Font shape `T1/ppl/bx/n' in size 14.4 not available (Font) Font shape `T1/ppl/b/n' tried instead on input line 75. ! Undefined control sequence. l.88 PermitWatch\textservicemark is hosted on secure servers and accessible The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type ' and the correct spelling (e.g., \hbox'). Otherwise just continue, and I'll forget about whatever was undefined. What did I do incorrectly?

Abdel has done a lot of work on this, and 1.6 is better, but the algorithms that drive the scrollbar are surprisingly complex and hard to get right. rh

Re: footnotes problem, .rtf import, view source on 1.5.3
Quoting rgheck [EMAIL PROTECTED]: You don't have Use Paragraph's Default Alignment? The point of this option is to undo customization. That's why I added it. ;-) Ah! I didn't try it before because it says [justified] But this indeed fixes the formatting of the pasted footnote content. Thanks! Hmm. We had a really, really long discussion about what this button should say. And now it looks as if maybe we chose badly. Would Default by itself have been clearer? Or would removing the [Justified] part have been helpful? I'd like to get this right. rh My take is that if justified wasn't there I probably would have tried it. But if it actually removes paragraph formatting (even if it resorts to the default for the context) wouldn't it be clearer to say Remove Paragraph Formatting? I'm surmising it's doing both. So I understand the problem in the wording. And I appreciate your interest in the detail here! How about Remove the paragraph formatting you didn't really want? :-) But then you might want to save the telepathic features of the program for a later version. :-) jamie faunt
Error during lyx 1.5.3 compile
Dear lyx-Users, I am not sure if this is the correct place to pose my question, but I encountered an error when installing lyx on a linux box running Ximian. Can anybody give me a hint on what might be wrong here? A similar problem in the developers list archives was solved by adding an additional include statement to the code. Please answer to [EMAIL PROTECTED], as I am not subscribed to the list. qt 4.3.4 is installed and the correct path for it is given to configure. No further special options are used to configure, which runs without error. When running make, it terminates with the following error message: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../src -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_GENUINE_STR -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_KEYWORDS -I../../../src -I../../../src/frontends -I../../../images -DQT_SHARED -I/home/steinbrt/programs/qt-4.3.4/include -I/home/steinbrt/programs/qt-4.3.4/include/QtCore -I/home/steinbrt/programs/qt-4.3.4/include/QtGui -I../../../boost -I../../../src/frontends/controllers -I/usr/X11R6/include -O2 -MT GuiApplication.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/GuiApplication.Tpo -c GuiApplication.cpp -o GuiApplication.o ../../../boost/boost/checked_delete.hpp: In function `void boost::checked_delete(T*) [with T = lyx::frontend::MenuTranslator]': GuiApplication.cpp:77: instantiated from `void boost::scoped_ptrT::scoped_ptr() [with T = lyx::frontend::MenuTranslator]' GuiApplication.cpp:101: instantiated from here ../../../boost/boost/checked_delete.hpp:32: `sizeof' applied to incomplete type `lyx::frontend::MenuTranslator' ../../../boost/boost/checked_delete.hpp:32: creating array with size zero (`-1 ') ../../../boost/boost/checked_delete.hpp:33: `sizeof' applied to incomplete type `lyx::frontend::MenuTranslator' ../../../boost/boost/checked_delete.hpp:33: creating array with size zero (`-1 ') ../../../boost/boost/checked_delete.hpp:30: `x' has incomplete type GuiApplication.h:39: forward declaration of `struct lyx::frontend::MenuTranslator' make[7]: *** [GuiApplication.lo] Error 1 make[7]: Leaving directory `/home/steinbrt/programs/lyx-1.5.3/src/frontends/qt4' make[6]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[6]: Leaving directory `/home/steinbrt/programs/lyx-1.5.3/src/frontends/qt4' make[5]: *** [all] Error 2 make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/steinbrt/programs/lyx-1.5.3/src/frontends/qt4' make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/steinbrt/programs/lyx-1.5.3/src/frontends' make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/steinbrt/programs/lyx-1.5.3/src/frontends' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/steinbrt/programs/lyx-1.5.3/src' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/steinbrt/programs/lyx-1.5.3/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 Regards, Dr. Thomas Steinbrecher The Scripps Research Institute 10550 N.

Re: Command-buffer inset-insert syntax
Perfect, THANKS! Just to make it complete: the syntax is inset-apply ref LatexCommand Format reference label name\end_inset where label name is the name of the referenced label and Format is one of the following: ref -- reference eqref -- (reference) pageref -- page vpageref -- on page vref -- reference on page prettyref -- Formatted reference As well on the updated function list: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxFunctionList Regards Toby
backref
I try to locate some references in my document by using the package backref. I
do, however, get only
pages (actually Seiten, since it is a german document)
behind the reference, no page number. What do I do wrong? I inserted

\usepackage{hyperref}

Command-buffer inset-insert syntax
Hi, I'd like to insert a cross-reference via the command-buffer. Unfortunately I'm note sure about the syntax. I found the following on http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/InsertingReferences: For versions of LyX subsequent to 1.4, you have to use |inset-insert| instead. The format is |LYXCMD::inset-insert ref LatexCommand ref reference referenceName \end_inset|. There's also an optional "name NAME" argument that seems to work in docbook: |NAME|. But I don't understand how to do it. How can I insert a "Formated reference" to the label "sec:test"? Additionally I'd like to use the command-buffer to go to a label. In http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxFunctionList1-3-2 I found reference-goto but this functions does not seem to be available in 1.5.x any more. Is there an other function allowing to go to given label via command-buffer in 1.5.x? Regards Toby

Needed documentation
Hi all, You know what would be good documentation? "The 25 Biggest Surprises in LyX and How to Work With Them". It's basically a FAQ with potential landmines and how to avoid/workaround them. I'll start out with the ones I know of: * Must hit Enter to declare column widths in tables * Must use units on all lengths * Must delete/recreate source tree to compile after config failure * Must run texhash after adding new LaTeX class/style * Must reconfiigure after change to layout file * You can make a script to do the reconfigure * TOC/Index/crossreference often require multiple compiles to register * Confusion between LyX code and LaTeX code * LaTeX code is case sensitive, LyX code isn't Perhaps others can add to the list and we can write the document.
