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

[Brett Randall]

Thanks Julio

Yes I checked the bibtex path is accurate. However I have since changed
from biber to bibtex8 and now it is working. I don't think I necessarily
need the additional features of biber at the moment, so for now this will
suffice!

Appreciate your help

Brett.

In preamble:


p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }

\usepackage{lscape} If you want to turn the page on PDF too 
\usepackage{pdflscape} And on page before your float ERT: \begin{landscape} and 
after your float \end{landscape}

Does this help?

Cannot use XeTeX fonts and Theorems (AMS) module under Ubuntu 12.04

[Alfredo Maldonado Guerra]

Hello,

I'm using Lyx version 2.0.2 and I have just recently upgraded to Ubuntu 
12.04 (from 11.10). I'm now unable to create PDFs from Lyx documents 
that use XeTeX fonts and the Theorems (AMS) module. I get an "Undefined 
control sequence" error. This did not happen under Ubuntu 11.10, so I 
wonder if the upgrade broke something in LyX. I tried re-installing LyX, 
LaTex and XeTeX (via the Synaptic package manager).


These are the steps to reproduce this problem under Ubuntu 12.04:

1. Open LyX and create new document.
2. Go to Document -> Settings -> Modules. Add "Theorems (AMS)"
3. Change current 'style' from "Standard" to "Theorem"  (dropdown list 
at top-left corner)

4. Type whatever you want.
5. If you click on the 'eyes' button, your document will compile. No 
problem there.
6. Now, go to Document -> Settings -> Fonts. Check "Use non-TeX fonts 
(via XeTeX/LuaTeX)"
7. Go to Document -> Settings -> Output. Under Default Output Format 
select "PDF (XeTeX)"
8. Click the 'eyes' button and you'll get the "Undefined control 
sequence" error.


Another thing I noticed is that if you don't perform step 7, your 
document gets compiled, but LyX generates a HTML version of the document 
and not a PDF.


Thank you very much in advance for any help / tips you can give me. 
Please let me know if you need more information.


Thanks,
Alfredo

Thanks!

 I'll probably use a shell script to get things done for the current 
deadline first.


But at some point, I'll delve into the customization manual, and be a 
real power user!

With inkscape you can export specific objects. Would this accomplish 
what you want?

   -i ID, --export-id=ID
   For PNG, PS, EPS, and PDF export, the id attribute 
value of the

   object that you want to export from the document; all other
   objects are not exported.  By default the exported area 
is the

   bounding box of the object; you can override this using
   --export-area (PNG only) or --export-area-page.

If that would work for you, then look in the help > customization

You asked about the Columns environment before.  Columns (center aligned) is
different -- it does not seem to accept options.  As far as I can tell, Columns
(center aligned) is functionally the same as Columns (both center things
vertically), so Columns with the width argument should work for you.  You can
also add other options in ERT.  For instance, Columns with [b,totalwidth=60mm]
in ERT will bottom-align the columns while setting the combined width.

direct inkscape layer support in lyx

[Qiqi Yan]

Hi all,

I have a question regarding inkscape.

Let's say I have an inkscape drawing with multiple layers.

When I import the svg into lyx, can I specify the layers that get shown?

This way I can do animation with beamer for example.

Thanks!

I need to set a line break in a cell, because the table is quite to

Ah, thank you! You are right - using a different document class fixes the
problem :-)

I really need to use the paper document class (I actually am writing a
paper and the other classes kind of suck for my purposes), but losing the
ability to use examples isn't worth it.

Thanks for pointing me to the problem.

I suspect the problem here is that the class you are using (paper.cls)
defines an example environment, and covington.sty tries to define
another one, which triggers the error.

The easiest solution is to use another class (such as article). Do you
have to use paper.cls?

Newbie needs some help with covington: 'command \example already defined'

[Cesko Voeten]

Hello!

I'm very new to LaTeX, but as a linguist I am becoming more dependent on it
every day. However, my only very basic knowledge of LaTeX is preventing me
from solving this simple problem.

As a linguist, I included the Linguistics module in LyX. Now I have these
new 'Example' options in the top-left drop-down box, that I use for
selecting the style of a particular line. However, this 'Example' option
(which I need to use at this moment) isn't working! When I add an example,
LaTeX gives me the following error when I try to preview the file:

! LaTeX Error: Command \example already defined.
   Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

followed by a bunch more errors.

It appears that the problem is inside covington.sty, as that's the last
file mentioned before latex bails out.

I can export the LyX-generated LaTeX into an ordinary .tex file, which
reads:

%% LyX 2.0.3 created this file.  For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[dutch]{paper}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{covington}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
\begin{example}
test\end{example}

\end{document}

which is rejected by latex with the same error.

I'm using LyX version 2.0.3 on a Gentoo Linux system.

Can anyone help me with this problem? Searching the mailing list has
pointed to a conflict with the Theorem module, but as I don't use it
anywhere in my document I'm at a loss as to what's going on.

Thanks so much!

Did you try the other 'utf8*' flavors? I always had more luck with
'utf8x' than with 'utf8'. Otherwise, as already suggested, try XeTeX
or LuaTeX.
