 know exactly when these were printed, but it was a long time ago. Here is

Input an Sweave/knitr chunk via command sequence

2012-11-27 Thread Yihui Xie

This is a solution instead of a question. Over a long I have been
wondering how to input an Sweave chunk template in LyX, i.e. = and
@. I just figured it out thanks to the hint from Liviu. We can add a
shortcut (Preferences=Editing=Shortcuts) with this command sequence
(be sure _not_ to include the possible line breaks introduced by
Gmail):

command-sequence ert-insert; unicode-insert 0x3C;  unicode-insert
0x3C; unicode-insert 0x3E; unicode-insert 0x3E; unicode-insert 0x3D;
break-paragraph; break-paragraph; unicode-insert 0x40; up;

We can assign it to, say, Ctrl+Alt+I (the same shortcut as RStudio).
Then we will be able to input this quickly:

=
# cursor moved here automatically
@

Yihui

Trouble with track changes appearing in pdflatex views

2012-11-27 Thread Allen Wilkinson

My problem is that if I want to show tracked changes in PDF view or output 
I get these errors:


Package xcolor Error: Undefined color `LYXDELETED'.
Package xcolor Error: Undefined color `LYXADDED'.
...
+++
after a modest finite extent of the document is processed.

If I delete changed and unchanged text from the document such that the 
document is small enough, then PDF output with tracked changes works.


This is true whether I use Lyx PDF viewing, or run OS' pdflatex compiler 
on exported .tex file.


If I disable 'show changes in output', then PDF output occurs without 
errors.


Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

I did some general Google and LyX wiki searching, but nothing popped up.

Re: Relative path to bib source doesn't work in lyx (but does work when exported as .tex)

2012-11-27 Thread stefano franchi

On Tue, Nov 27, 2012 at 5:34 PM, Roey Angel angel.r...@gmail.com wrote:

 Hi,
 Not sure if it's a bug or I'm missing out on something but when I enter a
 bib
 source to the preamble it only works when the path to the bib source is
 absolute
 but doesn't in case I simply write the file name (yes, I double checked
 the bib
 file is in the same directory).
 I don't get an error but simply a PDF with the reference fields
 unrecognised (so
 it's got to be that lyx can't find the bib file).

Since Lyx compiles the tex files in a temp directory, I doubt a relative
path would ever work. Lyx would have to parse the preamble, extract the
path, convert it to an absolute path (or a new path relative to the temp
directory), and rewrite the preamble accordingly.
In fact, if you add the bibliography with the Lyx inset (i..e using bibtex,
not BibLateX) and then check the lyx source, you'll see that Lyx uses the
absolute path.


 If I export the file to LaTeX and compile it from command line everything
 works
 fine.


This is because if you export to Latex and then compile, you are working in
your local directory (the directory where your original lyx file is). And
Latex (or rather, biber) is therefore able to find the file from the
relative path.


 my preamble line looks something like

 \usepackage[style=authoryear-

 comp, natbib=true, backend=biber]{biblatex}
 \addbibresource{/full/path/to/bib/file.bib}



This looks fine---as long as /full/path/to/bib/file.bib is really
/absolute/path/to/file.bib



 So, a bug or a 'feature'?


Feature, p/h? It has a great educational value: it forces you to understand
how lyx uses the latex (and biber, texindy, etc) backends ;-)

Cheers,

Stefano

Thanks for the comments Scott. It's on the Wiki at

to the MARC archive where the files are:


http://marc.info/?l=lyx-usersm=134800934727097w=2

I've used the same trick (exporting to an alternatively named LyX 
format, but retaining the lyx file extension) for a number of other 
tasks (e.g. sorting lists, expanding abbreviations) and tried to sell 
the idea of a proper GUI for launching such scripts to the developers

Quick question: Would it be a good idea to turn Track Changes on
before launching the script and modifying built-in the .lyx file?
This way the user can check that nothing funny happened to her file
(the parts that shouldn't have been modified), and visually check the
changes that happened to the parts that should have been modified.

Trouble with track changes appearing in pdflatex views

 Hi,
 Not sure if it's a bug or I'm missing out on something but when I enter a
 bib
 source to the preamble it only works when the path to the bib source is
 absolute
 but doesn't in case I simply write the file name (yes, I double checked
 the bib
 file is in the same directory).
 I don't get an error but simply a PDF with the reference fields
 unrecognised (so
 it's got to be that lyx can't find the bib file).

Since Lyx compiles the tex files in a temp directory, I doubt a relative
path would ever work. Lyx would have to parse the preamble, extract the
path, convert it to an absolute path (or a new path relative to the temp
directory), and rewrite the preamble accordingly.
In fact, if you add the bibliography with the Lyx inset (i..e using bibtex,
not BibLateX) and then check the lyx source, you'll see that Lyx uses the
absolute path.


 If I export the file to LaTeX and compile it from command line everything
 works
 fine.


This is because if you export to Latex and then compile, you are working in
your local directory (the directory where your original lyx file is). And
Latex (or rather, biber) is therefore able to find the file from the
relative path.


 my preamble line looks something like

 \usepackage[style=authoryear-

 comp, natbib=true, backend=biber]{biblatex}
 \addbibresource{/full/path/to/bib/file.bib}



This looks fine---as long as /full/path/to/bib/file.bib is really
/absolute/path/to/file.bib



 So, a bug or a 'feature'?


Feature, p/h? It has a great educational value: it forces you to understand
how lyx uses the latex (and biber, texindy, etc) backends ;-)

Cheers,

Stefano

Input an Sweave/knitr chunk via command sequence

2012-11-27 Thread Yihui Xie

This is a solution instead of a question. Over a long I have been
wondering how to input an Sweave chunk template in LyX, i.e. <<>>= and
@. I just figured it out thanks to the hint from Liviu. We can add a
shortcut (Preferences=>Editing=>Shortcuts) with this command sequence
(be sure _not_ to include the possible line breaks introduced by
Gmail):

command-sequence ert-insert; unicode-insert 0x3C;  unicode-insert
0x3C; unicode-insert 0x3E; unicode-insert 0x3E; unicode-insert 0x3D;
break-paragraph; break-paragraph; unicode-insert 0x40; up;

We can assign it to, say, Ctrl+Alt+I (the same shortcut as RStudio).
Then we will be able to input this quickly:

<<>>=
# cursor moved here automatically
@

Yihui

Thanks, Liviu and Yihui. This is indeed handy. Note that in master (to
become 2.1), "break-paragraph" is renamed to "paragraph-break".

In master branch, the following works:

command-sequence ert-insert; unicode-insert 0x3C;  unicode-insert
0x3C; unicode-insert 0x3E; unicode-insert 0x3E; unicode-insert 0x3D;
paragraph-break; paragraph-break; unicode-insert 0x40; up;

The former LFUN was discordant with the LFUN naming rules, in
particular <<1) Use the object.event order. That is, use
`word-forward' instead of `forward-word'>>

Trouble with track changes appearing in pdflatex views

2012-11-27 Thread Allen Wilkinson

My problem is that if I want to show tracked changes in PDF view or output 
I get these errors:


Package xcolor Error: Undefined color `LYXDELETED'.
Package xcolor Error: Undefined color `LYXADDED'.
...
+++
after a modest finite extent of the document is processed.

If I delete changed and unchanged text from the document such that the 
document is small enough, then PDF output with tracked changes works.


This is true whether I use Lyx PDF viewing, or run OS' pdflatex compiler 
on exported .tex file.


If I disable 'show changes in output', then PDF output occurs without 
errors.


Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

I did some general Google and LyX wiki searching, but nothing popped up.
