HTML Pagination Issues
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

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 Brett.
Jurabib's Bibliography and the use of "et al"
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.
Moderncv problems
I downloaded the example lyx file for moderncv from http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/CV but I get the following error when I try to compile it ! LaTeX Error: There's no line here to end. See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. Type H for immediate help. ... l.68 \maketitle Your command was ignored. Type I to replace it with another command, or to continue without it.

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? >>> b) use the "LGR transliteration" which is described in the babel Greek >>> documentation http://mirror.ctan.org/info/babel/babel.pdf > > Sorry, I did not consider LyX' "paranoia escaping" of text input because > there is no problem using <>| in the unicodesymbols file (only ~, because > this is no-break space in "normal" LaTeX, disabled by Babel for Greek but > re-enabled by LyX). > > The conversion of <, >, and | to \textless, \textgreater, and \textbar is > only required with the legacy OT1 font encoding (i.e. never in Greek and > not with LyX's default setting of T1).

Re: aspect ratio in figures
On 04/23/2012 08:27 AM, Allen Barker wrote: 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.
