Using Chemstyle in LyX

[thekillingmachine]

Hello,

I'm new to LaTeX/LyX so I don't know much of it. 
I would like to make use of the chemstyle-package for numbering chemical 
schemes and the coumpunds within them, if possible right in LyX by using 
TeX-Code. Hopefully someone has experience with this package and can help me.
When I try the procedure for substituting the temporary markers in a eps-scheme 
as explained in the package's manual, the temporary markers are recognised, but 
the new numbers are listed below the scheme, rather than at the position of the 
temporary markers. You can see the result here 
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/641/schemes.png/
Also, this only works when typesetting into .DVI, not into .PDF, which results 
in the error You need to run LaTeX with the equivalent of pdflatex 
-shell-escape. How could I do that with LyX?

I use LyX 2.0 and MiKTeX 2.9 on Windows 

Thanks in advance for any help,
Tobias

I don't know if you can alter the defaults in this case, but you could
do the following: when inserting the figure go to the 'LyX options'
tab and change the 'Scale on Screen' as desired, then 'Open new group'
and insert a grp name. Afterwards use 'right-click' on newly inserted
figure and use this group via the checkbox.

There is no default settings for new figures.

But here is a timesaver:

Make a template document for progress reports. Include a figure in
the template, which have all the correct settings. (Such as width=100% 
of line length).


When you want to write a report, you use File-New from template
When you need the figure, you just change the filename in the template
figure, instead of adding a new figure. This is less work than first
adding a figure and then setting the width.

If you need more figures, just copy the first one and change the
filename in the copy. If a report doesn't need a figure, delete the
one provided by the template.

A template can of course have other non-default document settings set up 
the way you want your reports to be too.

Search within math mode

[Mike Bonhoff]

Hallo, Lyx-users,

I work with Lyx 2.0.0. now.
I have heard that it would be possible to search within the math mode with Lyx 
2.0.0. But it didn't work here I think (or I made a mistake):

I had some text with the greek letter phi (lyx code:
Ctrl+M \phi)

I am not able to find that phi afterwards. 
If I search for phi I can't find anything. Did I do anything wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Rethinking on everything, I think the problem is biber. It seems that

Re: biblatex-chicago

[Julio Rojas]

Confirmed, at least from my side. The problem lies in your bibtex
file, which biber cannot process. I believe it has some characters,
that even if UTF-8 encoded, are not understood by biber. For example,
in one reference:

@INBOOK{ashbrook:brain,
  chapter = {7},
  title = {The Frontal Lobes, Intending, and a Purposeful God},
  publisher = {Pilgrim Press},
  year = {1997},
  author = {Ashbrook, James~B. and Albright, Carol Rausch},
  annote = {A typical InBook entry, identified by title and also, in this case,
by chapter number rather than page range.},
  booktitle = {The Humanizing Brain},
  location = {Cleveland, OH},
  shorttitle = {The Frontal Lobes}
}

You have a ~ in author. I removed this character and retried and it
seems to work with biber. Try yourself and let me know. Regards.

Never has a worse user interface been conceived or deployed. It even

I use LyX for almost everything written, but it really isn't the best
tool for doing this. But you can make it work.

I'd suggest getting the columns by setting up a table with fixed
column widths. Use article class, and center the table using the
paragraph settings. Adjust the margins (Document-Settings-Page
Margins) and if you still have too much space at the top of the page
you can use Insert-Formatting-Vertical Space to put in a negative
space at the top of the page.

But I'd use a spreadsheet such as Gnumeric or LibreOffice Calc to do
the job.

Rethinking on everything, I think the problem is biber. It seems that
it cannot process your bibtex file, which is why the citekey, not the
properly formatted reference, appears. You need to check both, your
bibtex file as well as your biber installation. BTW, why biber?

Re: biblatex-chicago

[Julio Rojas]

Confirmed, at least from my side. The problem lies in your bibtex
file, which biber cannot process. I believe it has some characters,
that even if UTF-8 encoded, are not understood by biber. For example,
in one reference:

@INBOOK{ashbrook:brain,
  chapter = {7},
  title = {The Frontal Lobes, Intending, and a Purposeful God},
  publisher = {Pilgrim Press},
  year = {1997},
  author = {Ashbrook, James~B. and Albright, Carol Rausch},
  annote = {A typical InBook entry, identified by title and also, in this case,
by chapter number rather than page range.},
  booktitle = {The Humanizing Brain},
  location = {Cleveland, OH},
  shorttitle = {The Frontal Lobes}
}

You have a ~ in author. I removed this character and retried and it
seems to work with biber. Try yourself and let me know. Regards.

I use LyX for almost everything written, but it really isn't the best

I'd suggest getting the columns by setting up a table with fixed
column widths. Use article class, and center the table using the
paragraph settings. Adjust the margins (Document-Settings-Page
Margins) and if you still have too much space at the top of the page
you can use Insert-Formatting-Vertical Space to put in a negative
space at the top of the page.

But I'd use a spreadsheet such as Gnumeric or LibreOffice Calc to do
the job.

Using Chemstyle in LyX

[thekillingmachine]

Hello,

I'm new to LaTeX/LyX so I don't know much of it. 
I would like to make use of the chemstyle-package for numbering chemical 
schemes and the coumpunds within them, if possible right in LyX by using 
TeX-Code. Hopefully someone has experience with this package and can help me.
When I try the procedure for substituting the temporary markers in a eps-scheme 
as explained in the package's manual, the temporary markers are recognised, but 
the new numbers are listed below the scheme, rather than at the position of the 
temporary markers. You can see the result here 
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/641/schemes.png/
Also, this only works when typesetting into .DVI, not into .PDF, which results 
in the error "You need to run LaTeX with the equivalent of "pdflatex 
-shell-escape". How could I do that with LyX?

I use LyX 2.0 and MiKTeX 2.9 on Windows 

Thanks in advance for any help,
Tobias

I don't know if you can alter the defaults in this case, but you could
do the following: when inserting the figure go to the 'LyX options'
tab and change the 'Scale on Screen' as desired, then 'Open new group'
and insert a grp name. Afterwards use 'right-click' on newly inserted
figure and use this group via the checkbox.

There is no "default settings" for new figures.

But here is a timesaver:

Make a template document for "progress reports". Include a figure in
the template, which have all the correct settings. (Such as width=100% 
of line length).


When you want to write a report, you use "File->New from template"
When you need the figure, you just change the filename in the template
figure, instead of adding a new figure. This is less work than first
adding a figure and then setting the width.

If you need more figures, just copy the first one and change the
filename in the copy. If a report doesn't need a figure, delete the
one provided by the template.

A template can of course have other non-default document settings set up 
the way you want your reports to be too.

Search within math mode

[Mike Bonhoff]

Hallo, Lyx-users,

I work with Lyx 2.0.0. now.
I have heard that it would be possible to search within the math mode with Lyx 
2.0.0. But it didn't work here I think (or I made a mistake):

I had some text with the greek letter phi (lyx code:
Ctrl+M \phi)

I am not able to find that phi afterwards. 
If I search for "phi" I can't find anything. Did I do anything wrong?

Thanks for your help!

You need to use Advanced Search and Replace and search for a math phi.
I.e., type Ctrl+M \phi in the search pane itself.

tool for doing this. But you can make it work.

I'd suggest getting the columns by setting up a table with fixed
column widths. Use article class, and center the table using the
paragraph settings. Adjust the margins (Document->Settings->Page
Margins) and if you still have too much space at the top of the page
you can use Insert->Formatting->Vertical Space to put in a negative
space at the top of the page.

But I'd use a spreadsheet such as Gnumeric or LibreOffice Calc to do
the job.

You could:
- insert figure
- change width to be as wide as the text width
- go to the 'LaTeX and LyX options' tab
- 'Open new group' and insert a grp name
- then, when inserting new figure, use 'right-click' on newly inserted
figure and make it belong to the group that you've just created. It
will re-use the settings (bar the image file name) of the first
figure.

Let me know if this makes more sense.
