HTML Pagination Issues

2012-04-25 Thread Raymond Lillard

Dear Lyx-Users,

I have looked and read documentation and Googled for
hours and have yet to find answers to two questions.

My Lyx environment:

Lyx 2.1.0svn as of about a week ago.
TexLive2011 + updates also current about a week ago.

I have written a ~100 page document and would like
to accomplish two things.  While writing this document
I have been previewing it as a PDF and now have a nice
looking document.

I have been asked to prepare an HTML version of the
document. I have done so and it too looks really nice
with two minor (well maybe 1 1/2) flaws.

The first and most bothersome is that I have placed
some ERT to handle page numbering in the PDF output.

For the cover page:
\thispagestyleempty

and for general page numbering:
\lhead Name: \pagenumberingroman

This ERT appears in my HTML output when view in a
browser.

I would like to not need to modify the document
depending on the output form.  Is this possible?

Secondly, I would like the output to be one large
file but with defined page numbers just like the PDF.

I know about the pagination offered by elyxer, but
that breaks the document into separate files based
on document structure.  Not what I want.

I apologize if this is easy, I am by no means a Tex guru
and I realize this sort of thing was not part of the
original Tex program.

My docs are beautiful, and I offer my thanks to all
the developers.

Regards,
Ray







Re: Jurabib's Bibliography and the use of "et al"

Thanks Stefano - I have tried biblatex and just can't get it to work. If I
was still using Linux I'm sure it would be easy, but running LyX 2.0.2 on
Windows with MikTeX 2.9, I just can't get bibtex/biber to spit out
anything. I'm having the same result as this person:

http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11317

(i.e. bold keys in place of citations, and no bibliography printing out). I
downloaded and updated the Test LyX files the person there managed to get
working and can't even get them working on my installation - just prints
BIB keys and no bibliography. So after an hour of trying to get biblatex
working in place of jurabib, I'm down an hour on a tight deadline and still
no closer to solving the only prob I have with jurabib which is the
bibliography style :) Would be nice if LyX just supported biblatex
natively... If anyone is interested, the LaTeX log is showing me the
following when I try and output the PDF file:

Package biblatex Info: Trying to load bibliographic data...

Package biblatex Info: ... file 'Literature_Review_Draft.bbl' not found.

No file Literature_Review_Draft.bbl.

LaTeX Warning: Citation 'abs_labour' on page 2 undefined on input line 39.



(The LyX file is called Literature_Review_Draft.bbl and is in one of my
Documents folders. The BIB file is called ITMPResearch.bib and is in
C:\Users\brett\AppData\Roaming\MikTeX\2.9, which is a MiKTeX-maintained
root directory).



Thanks in advance

Jurabib's Bibliography and the use of "et al"

2012-04-25 Thread Brett Randall
Hi all

I'm not sure this is entirely the right place to post this, but am hopeful
nonetheless that someone can help me!

I am starting to use BibTeX for referencing for the first time (used to be
by hand). I need to use the Harvard referencing format so am using the
jurabib style. In my LaTeX preamble, I have stolen bits from random sites
to make it:

\jurabibsetup{%

titleformat=italic,%

titleformat=commasep,%

commabeforerest,%

citefull=first,%

lookat,%

oxford,%

pages=format,%

idem%

}



Which basically makes everything as Harvard-ish as possible. The only thing
which seems to be a problem is that when I have 4 or more authors, both the
in-text reference AND the bibliography have "et al." in place of the
remaining authors. I need to have "et al." in the in-text references, but
all authors listed in the bibliography.



Does anyone know how I can make this work?



Thanks in advance



Brett.

Hmm, unless memoir does something funny, fontspec should be loaded
first. It's the second line in the Latex source (right after the doc
class)

I thought about that. I may be using an incomplete font. It's Minion
Pro. I'll double check with another font with more complete coverage.
But:  the Greek text entered as ERT displays fine. Does that mean that
latex (babel?) switches to an alternative font when it sees the
\textgreek command?

Ok, I'll file a bug report. But what is the bug, exactly? Something like:

"Lyx should not escape symbols when using T1 font encoding"?

Lyx actually inserts a \foreignlanguage{polutonikogreek}{...}. Is that
equivalent?

I'll have to try these ones too.

Re: aspect ratio in figures

2012-04-25 Thread Allen Barker

I'm having some problems with the aspect ratio of figures
which are inserted into Lyx. This is with version 2.0.3
on a Fedora 15 system.

I insert a .png screenshot with insert->graphics and set
the width to some value (with the maintain aspect ratio box
checked). The preview looks fine. But, when the file is
printed in PDF the aspect ratio is not preserved. For
example, a square image is stretched too much vertically
(by a very noticeable amount). Postscript is the same.

If I set both the width and the height then the PDF
comes out as it should. If I view as LyxHTML then the
size is also correct.

I'm just using the default article style, with no packages
inserted and an empty preamble.

Any ideas what's going on?


I still haven't figured out what was going on, but I did
discover that the problem does not occur with the .gif
format.  This works well enough for the screenshot I was
inserting.

Ah! You mean launch another instance of LyX?
