Silent install
Hi i'm trying to install LyX 2.0.3-1 silently with the /S command, but at the end of the installation the package installation window pops up and asks me if i want to download latex and alot more packages. Is there a way to skip these steps so the install can finsih silent? i have installed Miktex 2.9.4407 before LyX 2.0.3. Patrik

Actually, I think you have a much simpler problem: your bib file is
corrupted (probably because of the translation from Mendeley). There
are no strange character in the original ref. Here is the correct ref,

it is a perfectly standard bibtex ref. So, forget what I said about

Find below.
Thanks Stefano.
You are right is has strange characters. I migrated my entire library from
Mendeley. I guess the encoding did not go well. I would rather switch the
reference manager than redo all references because the database is huge. I
hope the biblatex+biber combination will help

Re: Help with inserting APA citations
Well,
I am out of my depth when it comes to Windows, but the problem seems
to be related to line 29 of your bbl file. So it is a reference that
gives you problems, most likely. And my guess is that it is the
reference with key Jha2009 (your second one). What does it look like?
Does it contain any strange char? Perhaps it is malformed (missing
braces, etc)? Can you post it (not the whole bib file, just that ref)?
Cheers,
Stefano

Re: Help with inserting APA citations
Hmm,
I would need to see a bit more of the log, but my guess is you are
using a bib file that contains unicode characters (since the problem
occurs only when you insert references). Bibtex does not play along
very well with unicode. Some would say it does not play at all. If
this is the problem, you basically have two options:
1. go over your bib file and change all the "strange" characters (all
the characters with diacritic signs, for instance) to their Latex
"fakes". For instance an a with acute character becomes {\'a}
2. Alternatively, leave your bib files untouched and switch to a full
unicode tex suite, including a bibliography program that understand
Unicode. I would recommend the biblatex+biber combination, which is
now pretty much supported by lyx (with some preamble code needed,
though).
To confirm the problem:
1. Check the encoding of your bib file. How to do this depend on the
platform you're on. On linux, an easy way (GUI) is to use a text
editor like Kate or a ref manager like JabRef.
2. Look into your bib file for the reference that gives you problems,
and particularly for the string "Guarantee Program in India" Those
two weird characters after India are a telltale of a Unicode problem,
I think. It is a Unicode two-byte sequence that bibtex/Latex does not
understand and renders as single-byte characters
If you can post a fuller version of the log (more context, i.e. more
lines before and after the error) and perhaps the reference that gives
you troubles, I may be able to help more.
Cheers,
Stefano

Is this a bug? No, it's not a bug. Perhaps it's old-fashioned, but I've never seen the need to bother with bibtex. Most of my papers have maybe 5-10 references, that is certainly easy enough to do "by hand". The bibitems are also extremely convenient to use if you have to cite more odd sources like interviews from certain archives and so on.

I was trying to run it but up to now I have no luck. I followed these steps 1. I create a ltxbbl file format with the "document" and "appear in export" marks setted 2. I define a conversor from LaTeX to ltxbbl with the "needaux" flag 3. I run the conversor in my file but, although it gave me no error, it doesn't integrate the bibtex into the latex file I have read the script and it looks for a bbl file, what I have is a bib file. Did I must define a conversor for bib->bbl too??? Is not this already done by bibtex? How must I proceed now? which is included with LyX. As also mentioned there, you can configure an export format so that the script will run automatically. What it does is embed the contents of the bbl file into the exported document in place of the BibTeX stuff. If you reimport the generated file into LyX, these will now appear as bibitems. Of course, you can undo the process later, if you wish, by deleting all of them and re-inserting the BibTeX stuff. Building what is effectively a BibTeX editor into LyX does not look worth the effort to me, given that one can do what I just described. Richard

Yes. *.tex files in your user directory are only created when you export to TeX, and not automatically updated. There are other files, in (well, for linux) /tmp/* which are created and used during conversions to other formats, or for printing. Can I be sure that if I import a *.tex file into LyX, and then export the result into another *.tex file, the two *.tex files will be identical (assuming I do not do any editing)? No, you can't. There are too many ways to encode things in TeX. LyX uses only a subset of those. Fortunately, the importer understands a broader range, but still exports will be LyX's flavor of TeX. -- David L.

No, it's not a bug. Perhaps it's old-fashioned, but I've never
seen the need to bother with bibtex. Most of my papers have maybe
5-10 references, that is certainly easy enough to do "by hand".
When I wrote my MSc thesis I must handled with 80 citations in a
100 page piece of work, imagine sort them one by one and changing
from order of apearance to alphabetical just to adjust your work to
the requirements of the institute!!! It is indeed old fashioned,
you must tell the software what kind of bibliography you need and
it must automatically reshape and sort it. BibTeX does this work,
why LyX can't?
Sorry, I don't understand. Of course you can use BibTeX with LyX. Or
you can just use bibitems. It's up to you. If you use bibitems,
though, then you have to sort them. Why? Because
Off course I can use BibTeX with LyX, but to generalize the use of it
as a redaction system editors will prefer, it is better to have all
the main things in a solely archive, not figures off course, but the
bibliography...
Hopefully for 2.1, we are going to have a "LyX bundle" that will solve
all such problems, including figures, to *make it easy to exchange
data with others*. Right now, we have the ability to export a LyX
archive that will bundle all these things, too.
This is the main purpose of this discusion
As initial step I would like to recommend developers to include an
option to export bibitems to BibTeX, and a final option should be
the use of BibTeX to produce the bibliography from bibitems. This
is not too hard to do since most of the work is already done!
To do this, you'd have to be able to figure out who the author is,
what the title is, etc, etc, etc. It is not going to be possible to
figure that out in any reliable way.
By using the same algoritms that are already used for the modernCV
example (separators }{)
If this means writing everything as ERT, it doesn't look good. I can
imagine making LyX's internal storage of bibitems look more like
BibTeX, then creating a BibTeX file on the fly for compilation, etc.
There's already a bug about this, partly, to make bibitems easier to
use with natbib. But it doesn't make much sense to me to go much
farther. BibTeX isn't that hard to use, and one can exchange files
using LyX's existing archive format, or just exchange two files. It
isn't that hard.
Richard
No, you missunderstand me, in the modernCV example you must just use ERT
for the }{ separator, the rest is normal text, internally you should
make the assumption that for example the first segment is ID, the second
are authors, and so on. For a more general bibliography then you should
create new bibliography kinds (like the modernCV list, language,
computer, etc) such as book, article, etc with different representations.
Now about BibTeX, I am 100% with you, it is not hard at all, but try to
tell this to editors. Unless we convince editors to accept more than one
file we are doomed to export our work to LaTeX, which is not the
objective of LyX at all.
problem with subscripts
Hi, I need to produce some symbols with a subscript inside the text. Is there any way to do this without inserting expressions into the text? In principle, the expressions give what I need, but for some reason the font style is then changed automatically into italics, and they remain like this even if I try to change fonts in the expression. I do not want to have this. I need symbols and subscripts in ordinary fonts, not italics. Leslaw
Questions about LyX files
Hi, For some time I have been using LyX to write some text, consisting of several chapters and files. I would be glad to understand the rules governing the files produced by LyX. In particular I have the following questions: 1) I notice that apart from *.lyx files there are also files with extension lyx~. I presume these are "previous" versions of the *.lyx files, produced when any changes are made to the *.lyx files. Is this so? 2) I observe that some other files are also created, the names of which begin with #. What are these files, and can I delete them safely? 3) I am not sure about the relationships between the *.lyx files and *.tex files. It seems to me that the *.tex files are not updated or used at all during the LyX operations, but all changes are saved in *.lyx files. Is this correct? If so, can I delete all *.tex files?

I would like to do the same thing for my requirements, see code below.
For example, pressing a key or key sequence on keyboard "Requirement1"
would change the level to "Requirement2", and so on.
Is this possible? Or, is it possible to change a key binding dependant
on the "Style" within a ".layout" file?
No, I don't think this is possible. You can make a key do different
things depending upon whether certain LFUNs are enabled, or whether you
are in math, etc, but not this kind of thing, so far as I know.
Then again, if you make the Requirement thing a list environment, maybe
it just works?
