 Hello,

 I'm a new LyX user but I'm a bit experienced with LaTeX.

 I have \input'ed my tex file in the preamble but I cannot use commands

 How can I use my macros?

 The best way is probably to define them as LyX macros but I have no idea
 of how to do that.

 Thanks in advance,

 The quick and dirty way to get in latex {arg} in math is to type \{ arg
 (i.e., backslash, curly brace, space, a, r, g)

I.e. in LyX's math editor,
type { to get \{ 
and \{ to get {

 For ease of use in the long term you could define all such macros by 
 Insert  Math  Macro. Create one such file math-macros.lyx and \input 
 it once in your master document. (while defining macros in LyX, type \#1 
 to get the latex #1)

You can also try to re-lyx your math macro TeX file (FileImportLaTeX).
If this fails, you can paste the macro definitions into a LyX buffer
as text, select and convert to math (Ctrl-m).

super-/subscript Lyx-function name for bindfile

[Sean Wendt]

Hi,

I am doing some linguistic annotation [subpredicate/subliteral]
for which I use subscript quite often outside of math environments,
thus would like to map the commands that insert \textsubscript and
\textsuperscript to a shortcut, but haven't been able to find out the
name of the lyx-function for writing the bindfile.
I also would like to avoid the workaround macro C-M _ \text  as there
is \textsubscript .

I'm sure it should be in the LyxFunction list for Lyx2.0, but it's not
in the wiki. What is the name of the function and where can I look it
up?

Regards,
Sean

Just something more: I used for the preamble in LyX a separate file
(preamble.tex) and included it in the preamble field of my documents
(child and master) as

\include{preamble.tex}

So I had to change the preamble only once, and it was always in all
documents. If you put \hyperref and the config for hyperref in this
document and disable the hyperref use in the LyX document options, yo
should have solved your problems as well.

Yes, the UI is far from ideal. I think we should make optional (and

with the longest label input field, which is also an optional

I've done a little work on this and hope to complete it early in the 2.1

Re: Index generation failure - bug? -SOLVED

On 20 Apr 2011, Anthony Campbell wrote:
 I found that Lyx was not generating the index with at least two files I

 After a lot of experimentation I managed to get an index using a
 semi-manual method:
 
 1. Export the file as latex (luatex and possibly other formats work).
 2. Run latex on myfile.tex (did it twice)
 3. Run makeindex on myfile.idx.
 4, Run latex again on myfile.tex
 
 
 After doing all this, LyX does show the index when I view the file. Is
 this a bug I should report or am I doing something wrong? I tried
 setting DocumentSettingsIndexes to different processors (makeindex,
 xindy, and texindy) but no joy.
 
 It looks as if LyX doesn't automatically generate myfile.idx on my
 setup; I have to do it manually.
 
 Anthony
 

OK, I got it working in the end by setting DocumentSettingsIndexes to
makeindex. I had thought that didn't do anything but then I found I
needed to save, quit and reload LyX to make it operative.

The background to this is that there is currently a bug in clisp for
Debian which prevents xindy from working; LyX was trying to use xindy as
the default so nothing was happening.

Example is counted as a theorem

Hi, I am writing an article [ams] using Lyx. I started a few hours ago
and I inserted an example. Lyx autoatically named it Example 1. that
is good. next I inserted a theorem. But it is named Theorem 2 and
not Theorem 1.  It seems Lyx counted the example as a theorem also.
How can I fix this in Lyx?

windows unattended install flags/switches

Reading through the wiki and the mailing lists all I could find
regarding a silent install of LyX is the /S switch.

Are there any other switches/flags?

The one I'm most interested in is to be able to log the install.

Since this is for an automated install across many pc's and is part of a
form install process I can make certain that Miktex, ghostscript, etc.
are installed so I won't need the complete installer.

 OK. So I can \include the chapter and \input the section.

Actually, the use case for \include (vs. \input) is that you can compile
selected chapters with \includeonly --- but unfortunately not with LyX.
:-(

Therefore, with LyX you can always use \input (the chapter will start a
new page anyway). \include is of use only if you want to be prepared for
\includeonly-support in some future LyX version (I do not give up hope).

 2) I would try to set the master of section.lyx to chapter.lyx, I think.
 That's what I did. The only problem I that I cannot compile the section 
 alone (I have to compile the chapter). Not a big deal.

What is the problem/error?
Most of this can be solved with code in a branch that is active in
standalone but inactive in the master.

Re: windows unattended install flags/switches

[Paul Rubin]

MiKTeX has three options for what to do when a document needs a LaTeX package
not currently installed: automatically download and install it; ignore it; or
ask for a blessing.  When LyX configures itself, it searches for approximately
2^100 packages (my subjective estimate).  So I'd suggest setting MiKTeX to
ignore mode (and then switch back to whatever mode you prefer), or else set it
to automatically install mode and brace yourself for some heavy traffic. 
Since I never use it, I can't recall whether automatically install mode asks
you to pick a repository for the first package.  Someone else on the list may
know.  

Personally, I go with ignore mode when I update LyX.  The only danger would be
if MiKTeX did not have an absolutely essential document class installed.  (For
instance, some of the help files use KOMA book, so you'll need that.)

super-/subscript Lyx-function name for bindfile

[Sean Wendt]

Hi,

I am doing some linguistic annotation [subpredicate/subliteral]
for which I use subscript quite often outside of math environments,
thus would like to map the commands that insert \textsubscript and
\textsuperscript to a shortcut, but haven't been able to find out the
name of the lyx-function for writing the bindfile.
I also would like to avoid the workaround macro C-M _ \text  as there
is \textsubscript .

I'm sure it should be in the LyxFunction list for Lyx2.0, but it's not
in the wiki. What is the name of the function and where can I look it
up?

Regards,
Sean

Hello,

1) \include starts the content on a new page, \input does not.

OK. So I can \include the chapter and \input the section.

2) I would try to set the master of section.lyx to chapter.lyx, I think.
That's what I did. The only problem I that I cannot compile the section 
alone (I have to compile the chapter). Not a big deal.

3) Not all options are inherited between master and childs, you mostly
have to repeat the settings in both to avoid any problems. (you can do
it once for one of the child, then copy paste the heading of the .lyx

Thanks for the trick.

Just something more: I used for the preamble in LyX a separate file
(preamble.tex) and included it in the preamble field of my documents
(child and master) as

\include{preamble.tex}

So I had to change the preamble only once, and it was always in all
documents. If you put \hyperref and the config for hyperref in this
document and disable the hyperref use in the LyX document options, yo
should have solved your problems as well.

Yes, the UI is far from ideal. I think we should make optional (and

with the longest label input field, which is also an optional

I've done a little work on this and hope to complete it early in the 2.1

Re: Index generation failure - bug? -SOLVED

[Anthony Campbell]

On 20 Apr 2011, Anthony Campbell wrote:
 I found that Lyx was not generating the index with at least two files I
 tried it on.
 
 After a lot of experimentation I managed to get an index using a
 semi-manual method:
 
 1. Export the file as latex (luatex and possibly other formats work).
 2. Run latex on myfile.tex (did it twice)
 3. Run makeindex on myfile.idx.
 4, Run latex again on myfile.tex
 
 
 After doing all this, LyX does show the index when I view the file. Is
 this a bug I should report or am I doing something wrong? I tried
 setting DocumentSettingsIndexes to different processors (makeindex,
 xindy, and texindy) but no joy.
 
 It looks as if LyX doesn't automatically generate myfile.idx on my
 setup; I have to do it manually.
 
 Anthony
 

OK, I got it working in the end by setting DocumentSettingsIndexes to
makeindex. I had thought that didn't do anything but then I found I
needed to save, quit and reload LyX to make it operative.

The background to this is that there is currently a bug in clisp for
Debian which prevents xindy from working; LyX was trying to use xindy as
the default so nothing was happening.

Example is counted as a theorem

Hi, I am writing an article [ams] using Lyx. I started a few hours ago
and I inserted an example. Lyx autoatically named it Example 1. that
is good. next I inserted a theorem. But it is named Theorem 2 and
not Theorem 1.  It seems Lyx counted the example as a theorem also.
How can I fix this in Lyx?

In order to get independent numbering, you need to load the proper

windows unattended install flags/switches

Reading through the wiki and the mailing lists all I could find
regarding a silent install of LyX is the /S switch.

Are there any other switches/flags?

The one I'm most interested in is to be able to log the install.

Since this is for an automated install across many pc's and is part of a
form install process I can make certain that Miktex, ghostscript, etc.
are installed so I won't need the complete installer.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

 Hello,

 OK. So I can \include the chapter and \input the section.

Actually, the use case for \include (vs. \input) is that you can compile
selected chapters with \includeonly --- but unfortunately not with LyX.
:-(

Therefore, with LyX you can always use \input (the chapter will start a
new page anyway). \include is of use only if you want to be prepared for
\includeonly-support in some future LyX version (I do not give up hope).

 2) I would try to set the master of section.lyx to chapter.lyx, I think.
 That's what I did. The only problem I that I cannot compile the section 
 alone (I have to compile the chapter). Not a big deal.

What is the problem/error?
Most of this can be solved with code in a branch that is active in
standalone but inactive in the master.

Re: windows unattended install flags/switches

[Paul Rubin]

MiKTeX has three options for what to do when a document needs a LaTeX package
not currently installed: automatically download and install it; ignore it; or
ask for a blessing.  When LyX configures itself, it searches for approximately
2^100 packages (my subjective estimate).  So I'd suggest setting MiKTeX to
ignore mode (and then switch back to whatever mode you prefer), or else set it
to automatically install mode and brace yourself for some heavy traffic. 
Since I never use it, I can't recall whether automatically install mode asks
you to pick a repository for the first package.  Someone else on the list may
know.  

Personally, I go with ignore mode when I update LyX.  The only danger would be
if MiKTeX did not have an absolutely essential document class installed.  (For
instance, some of the help files use KOMA book, so you'll need that.)

HTH,
Paul

You can also try to re-lyx your math macro TeX file (File>Import>LaTeX).
If this fails, you can paste the macro definitions into a LyX buffer

I'm writing my PhD thesis (how many messages started like this one on
this list?). Of course I have planned to split the document into a
master document and child documents. I have set the master document
field of each child document.

However each chapter is rather long so I wanted to split chapters into
several files (one for each section). I have several questions.

First I have then to use "input" instead of "include", right?

Second, what is the master document of the section file? Is it the main
document or the chapter one? Would it be better include every section
into the main document?

Third, I have configured my main document for using hyperef and saved as
default. But then when compiling the document LyX complains about option
clashes in hyperef. Do I have to use hyperef only for the master?

Thanks in advance,
Mathieu




Hello,

1) \include starts the content on a new page, \input does not.

OK. So I can \include the chapter and \input the section.

2) I would try to set the master of section.lyx to chapter.lyx, I think.
That's what I did. The only problem I that I cannot compile the section 
alone (I have to compile the chapter). Not a big deal.

3) Not all options are inherited between master and childs, you mostly
have to repeat the settings in both to avoid any problems. (you can do
it once for one of the child, then copy paste the heading of the .lyx
files in an standard text editor to save time.

Thanks for the trick.

Thanks,
Mathieu

Just something more: I used for the preamble in LyX a separate file
(preamble.tex) and included it in the preamble field of my documents
(child and master) as

\include{preamble.tex}

So I had to change the preamble only once, and it was always in all
documents. If you put \hyperref and the config for hyperref in this
document and disable the hyperref use in the LyX document options, yo
should have solved your problems as well.

Yes, the UI is far from ideal. I think we should make optional (and
required) arguments part of the paragraph dialog (as we have already
with the "longest label" input field, which is also an optional
argument of the lists). We would lose the ability to format the
content and embed insets this way, though (at least as long as we do
not have a work area widget, as in the advances search dialog).

I've done a little work on this and hope to complete it early in the 2.1 
cycle. Conceptually, it doesn't seem that hard, and I would supposed a 
work area widget could be used. But that would be a bit harder.

OK, I got it working in the end by setting Document>Settings>Indexes to
makeindex. I had thought that didn't do anything but then I found I
needed to save, quit and reload LyX to make it operative.

The background to this is that there is currently a bug in clisp for
Debian which prevents xindy from working; LyX was trying to use xindy as
the default so nothing was happening.

Thanks!  

One (open) question: why is it so big? RC2 was 20ish MB, and this one is 70ish

Nice with another Swede on the list!

I think it will be easier to help you if you tell us what OS and version

Example is counted as a theorem

[Jinxi Cheng]

Hi, I am writing an article [ams] using Lyx. I started a few hours ago
and I inserted an example. Lyx autoatically named it "Example 1". that
is good. next I inserted a theorem. But it is named "Theorem 2" and
not "Theorem 1".  It seems Lyx counted the example as a theorem also.
How can I fix this in Lyx?

Thank you in advance.

In order to get independent numbering, you need to load the proper
theorems module:

and choose (e.g.) theorems (AMS, numbered by type)

windows unattended install flags/switches

[Joe Kline]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Reading through the wiki and the mailing lists all I could find
regarding a silent install of LyX is the /S switch.

Are there any other switches/flags?

The one I'm most interested in is to be able to log the install.

Since this is for an automated install across many pc's and is part of a
form install process I can make certain that Miktex, ghostscript, etc.
are installed so I won't need the complete installer.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

You can change the way all such things are counted in Document -> 
Modules.  Try "numbered by type".

Hi,

I have just installed LyX 2.0.0RC3 on my WinVista machine and funnily

Any help is highly appreciated.

Actually, the use case for \include (vs. \input) is that you can compile
selected chapters with \includeonly --- but unfortunately not with LyX.
:-(

Therefore, with LyX you can always use \input (the chapter will start a
new page anyway). \include is of use only if you want to be prepared for
\includeonly-support in some future LyX version (I do not give up hope).

What is the problem/error?
Most of this can be solved with code in a branch that is active in
standalone but inactive in the master.

Re: windows unattended install flags/switches

[Paul Rubin]

MiKTeX has three options for what to do when a document needs a LaTeX package
not currently installed: automatically download and install it; ignore it; or
ask for a blessing.  When LyX configures itself, it searches for approximately
2^100 packages (my subjective estimate).  So I'd suggest setting MiKTeX to
"ignore" mode (and then switch back to whatever mode you prefer), or else set it
to "automatically install" mode and brace yourself for some heavy traffic. 
Since I never use it, I can't recall whether "automatically install" mode asks
you to pick a repository for the first package.  Someone else on the list may
know.  

Personally, I go with "ignore" mode when I update LyX.  The only danger would be
if MiKTeX did not have an absolutely essential document class installed.  (For
instance, some of the help files use KOMA book, so you'll need that.)

HTH,
Paul
