Using Theorems (Numbered by Type) with Named Theorems

[Itai Shaked]

Hello,
LyX (2.0.6) won't allow using the Named Theorems module combined with
Theorems (Numbered by Type) (or the AMS version of this package).
I think this is because Named Theorems requires either Theorems or Theorems
(AMS), and these conflict with Theorems (Numbered by Type).

Is this a real issue with the LaTeX packages, being incompatible, or is it
just a matter of dependencies not configured correctly in LyX?
Is there a way around it?

Thanks,
Itai.

Try this: Copy the theorems-named.module file to your local LyX 
directory. On Linux, the original file would be at 
/usr/share/lyx/layouts/, and you would copy it to ~/.lyx/layouts/. On 
other systems, you can find the relevant directories by looking at Help 
About LyX. Once you have done that, open the local copy and change the 
Requires line to read:


#Requires: theorems-ams | theorems-starred | theorems-byname

That will allow you to do what you want to do. Let us know whether you 
get a conflict of some sort of not. If not, then we can make this fix in 
LyX itself.

ANNOUNCE: LyX version 2.1.0 (beta 1)

[Vincent van Ravesteijn]

Public release of LyX version 2.1.0beta1


We are proud to announce the first public beta release of the new LyX 
2.1 series.


LyX 2.1.0beta1 is the culmination of two and half years of hard work.
This release is meant for testing before we actually release LyX 2.1.

An overview of the new features can be found here:
  http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX21

You can download LyX 2.1.0beta1 from
  ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.1/lyx-2.1.0beta1/.

We hope you will enjoy the result!

The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
to the current stable releases (LyX 2.0.x). We strongly recommend that
packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.

As with any major release, this one comes with lot of new features but
also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.0beta1,
either email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org),
or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which you
will find at http://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to the LyX 
users'

list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

NOTE 1 (for Autotools users):
make check/distcheck still fails for this beta release. This means that
therewill be difficulties to install on platforms that require these checks
to passbefore installing.

NOTE 2 (for Linux/CMake users):
If some of the dependencies of the test suite are not satisfied, CMake might
not be able to generate the project files. To fix this problem, remove the
following line from CMakeLists.txt:
  add_subdirectory(development/autotests /autotests)

Re: AGU layout

[Gwen Barnes]

 Have you tried New  New from Template and either agutex.lyx or
 agu_article.lyx ? If I remember correctly, I have had trouble exporting
 those when testing, but I have no familiarity with AGU.


Scott, thanks. I found those files with a bit of looking.

agu_article.lyx opens fine in LyX and uses the AGU article (SGML) document
class.  But that seems to produce an xhtml file that I don't know what to
do with.  I just want a pdf like normal.

agutex.lyx gives an error when trying to open it that there is not an
appropriate layout file for the AGUTeX class. What I need (I think), and
can't find, is a layout file for the AGUTeX class. FWIW, I have compiled
the default AGUTeX template using the AGUTeX class using latex on the
command line, so everything on the latex end should be ok.  It's just the
LyX layout file that's missing, I think.  Is there an AGUTeX layout file
somewhere that I haven't found?

If not, (unfortunately?) as far as I can tell, the AGUTeX class is not
based on anything else, like latex's article.  I think they must have built
it from the ground up.  And if I read the LyX documentation right, that
means the layout file is going to be a bit more tricky.If there is
currently no layout file, could someone suggest a good one that I could
copy to try to tweak for AGUTeX to try to get it working?

Thanks.

Keyboard shortcut binding

[Rushikesh Kamalapurkar]

Dear All,

The keyboard shortcut functionality seems to have changed in 2.0.6. I have
a bind file that has the commands

\bind C-S-apostrophe math-insert \ddot
\bind C-S-quoteleft math-insert \tilde

In 2.0.5, this used to work perfect when I imported the bind file. Now, it
does not. When I import the bind file, the shortcuts show up as following:

Function  Shortcut
math-insert \ddot  Ctrl+Shift+'
math-insert \tilde  Ctrl+Shift+`

However, when I press the keys in math mode, nothing happens. (command
disabled). Upon further investigation, i found out that if I manually
create the shortcuts, they show up as follows:

Function  Shortcut
math-insert \ddot  Ctrl+Shift+
math-insert \tilde  Ctrl+Shift+~

Why the difference? How do i write a bind file to add Ctrl+Shift+~
instead of Ctrl+Shift+` to the shortcuts? (i tried \bind C-S-tilde and
\bind C-S-~ they dont work!)

Thanks in advance

 AGU's class file has changed since I last tried to do this in LyX.  AGU

The zip file contains a style file with date Feb 9, 2008 and class

It looks like only the .tex file was updated recently?

Further, these files are different from the files here:

 Scott, thanks. I found those files with a bit of looking.

Why after looking? They weren't included in LyX for you? If not, this
might explain the layout error you have below.

 agu_article.lyx opens fine in LyX and uses the AGU article (SGML) document
 class.  But that seems to produce an xhtml file that I don't know what to do
 with.  I just want a pdf like normal.

What operating system are you on? Which LyX version? Do you get a
warning when opening that template? I am on Ubuntu 13.04 and had to
install docbook and sgmltools-lite. After that, LyX tries to make a
PDF for me.

However, I don't think AGU requires docbook. Does it? If not, it
probably shouldn't be in the template. You should probably forget
about this one. I think the next one is the one you want.

 agutex.lyx gives an error when trying to open it that there is not an
 appropriate layout file for the AGUTeX class. What I need (I think), and
 can't find, is a layout file for the AGUTeX class. FWIW, I have compiled the

This is strange. This layout file should be included by LyX. Your
answers above to which LyX version you are using could lead to clues.
Before you try anything can you go to Tools  Reconfigure ? Does that
complete successfully?

Attached is the layout file for agutex, but this should be included
with LyX. If you still get the layout error, you can copy it to your
user layout directory and then run Tools  Reconfigure. Restart and
see if you still get the error.

agutex.lyx compiles to PDF fine for me. Here is the output:

Ha, the layout file you attached seems to work.  Thanks! I did have to put
it in my user layout directory.  I looked and there is already one in the
application's layout directory, but despite several reconfigs I guess it
wasn't working.  It's tempting to go back and figure out why it didn't
work, but I think it's probably smartest to just leave it now that it's
working.

 Scott, thanks. I found those files with a bit of looking.

 I guess they were in /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/templates/
whereas I'd been looking in ~/Library/Application
Support/LyX-2.0/templates, which is what my LyX apparently opens by
default.

BTW, I was mildly confused because the agutex.layout file says elsarticle
textclass definition file but elsarticle is the latex class for Elsevier
journals, not AGU journals. (I submit to both. *sigh*)

Thanks again; I had spent a lot of time on this getting nowhere, so I'm

I think you meant theorems-ams-bytype for the last one. That works, but it
still leaves Theorems (By Type) and Theorems incompatible with Named
Theorems.

It turns out that the only thing Named Theorems needs as a prerequisite is
the Theorem* style, which it copies. So I tried deleting the #Requires line
entirely and instead added Input theorems-starred.inc. It seems to work
fine, even if *none* of the theorem related modules are loaded, as long as
you don't mind that you have named theorems and the basic unnumbered
theorem-like environments (whether you want them or not) but perhaps not
other theorem-like environments.

If we want it to work with the vanilla Theorems module and Theorems (By
Type), I think we need to add the Input line -- they don't (currently)
input theorems-starred.inc -- regardless of whether or not we use the
requirements line.

The one thing I'm not sure about is why theorems-std.module and
theorems-bytype.module exclude theorems-starred: is it just redundancy, or
are std and bytype somehow incompatible with theorems-starred.inc?

 Hello,

 I need help formatting a paper in LyX for submission to an AGU journal.
 AGU's class file has changed since I last tried to do this in LyX.  AGU
 provides latex classes, etc, here:

 http://publications.agu.org/author-resource-center/author-guide/latex-formatting-toolkit/

The zip file contains a style file with date Feb 9, 2008 and class
file with date October 1, 2001.
It looks like only the .tex file was updated recently?

Further, these files are different from the files here:
ftp://ftp.agu.org/journals/latex/journals/Manuscript-Preparation/

I wonder why. We should figure out if the FTP files are old files that
should be updated.

 Scott, thanks. I found those files with a bit of looking.

Why after looking? They weren't included in LyX for you? If not, this
might explain the layout error you have below.

 agu_article.lyx opens fine in LyX and uses the AGU article (SGML) document
 class.  But that seems to produce an xhtml file that I don't know what to do
 with.  I just want a pdf like normal.

What operating system are you on? Which LyX version? Do you get a
warning when opening that template? I am on Ubuntu 13.04 and had to
install docbook and sgmltools-lite. After that, LyX tries to make a
PDF for me.

However, I don't think AGU requires docbook. Does it? If not, it
probably shouldn't be in the template. You should probably forget
about this one. I think the next one is the one you want.

 agutex.lyx gives an error when trying to open it that there is not an
 appropriate layout file for the AGUTeX class. What I need (I think), and
 can't find, is a layout file for the AGUTeX class. FWIW, I have compiled the
 default AGUTeX template using the AGUTeX class using latex on the command
 line, so everything on the latex end should be ok.  It's just the LyX layout
 file that's missing, I think.  Is there an AGUTeX layout file somewhere that
 I haven't found?

 If not, (unfortunately?) as far as I can tell, the AGUTeX class is not based
 on anything else, like latex's article.  I think they must have built it
 from the ground up.  And if I read the LyX documentation right, that means
 the layout file is going to be a bit more tricky.If there is currently
 no layout file, could someone suggest a good one that I could copy to try to
 tweak for AGUTeX to try to get it working?

This is strange. This layout file should be included by LyX. Your
answers above to which LyX version you are using could lead to clues.
Before you try anything can you go to Tools  Reconfigure ? Does that
complete successfully?

Attached is the layout file for agutex, but this should be included

Re: Using Theorems (Numbered by Type) with Named Theorems

 #Requires: theorems-ams | theorems-starred | theorems-byname

I think you meant theorems-ams-bytype for the last one. That works, but it
still leaves Theorems (By Type) and Theorems incompatible with Named
Theorems.

It turns out that the only thing Named Theorems needs as a prerequisite is
the Theorem* style, which it copies. So I tried deleting the #Requires line
entirely and instead added Input theorems-starred.inc. It seems to work
fine, even if *none* of the theorem related modules are loaded, as long as
you don't mind that you have named theorems and the basic unnumbered
theorem-like environments (whether you want them or not) but perhaps not
other theorem-like environments.

If we want it to work with the vanilla Theorems module and Theorems (By
Type), I think we need to add the Input line -- they don't (currently)
input theorems-starred.inc -- regardless of whether or not we use the
requirements line.

The one thing I'm not sure about is why theorems-std.module and
theorems-bytype.module exclude theorems-starred: is it just redundancy, or
are std and bytype somehow incompatible with theorems-starred.inc?

Using Theorems (Numbered by Type) with Named Theorems

[Itai Shaked]

Hello,
LyX (2.0.6) won't allow using the Named Theorems module combined with
Theorems (Numbered by Type) (or the AMS version of this package).
I think this is because Named Theorems requires either Theorems or Theorems
(AMS), and these conflict with Theorems (Numbered by Type).

Is this a real issue with the LaTeX packages, being incompatible, or is it
just a matter of dependencies not configured correctly in LyX?
Is there a way around it?

Thanks,
Itai.

ANNOUNCE: LyX version 2.1.0 (beta 1)

[Vincent van Ravesteijn]

Public release of LyX version 2.1.0beta1


We are proud to announce the first public beta release of the new LyX 
2.1 series.


LyX 2.1.0beta1 is the culmination of two and half years of hard work.
This release is meant for testing before we actually release LyX 2.1.

An overview of the new features can be found here:
  http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX21

You can download LyX 2.1.0beta1 from
  ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.1/lyx-2.1.0beta1/.

We hope you will enjoy the result!

The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
to the current stable releases (LyX 2.0.x). We strongly recommend that
packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.

As with any major release, this one comes with lot of new features but
also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.0beta1,
either email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org),
or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which you
will find at http://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to the LyX 
users'

list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

NOTE 1 (for Autotools users):
"make check/distcheck" still fails for this beta release. This means that
therewill be difficulties to install on platforms that require these checks
to passbefore installing.

NOTE 2 (for Linux/CMake users):
If some of the dependencies of the test suite are not satisfied, CMake might
not be able to generate the project files. To fix this problem, remove the
following line from "CMakeLists.txt":
  add_subdirectory(development/autotests "/autotests")

Using LyX version 2.0.6 on Mac 10.8.4

Keyboard shortcut binding

[Rushikesh Kamalapurkar]

Dear All,

The keyboard shortcut functionality seems to have changed in 2.0.6. I have
a bind file that has the commands

\bind "C-S-apostrophe" "math-insert \ddot"
\bind "C-S-quoteleft" "math-insert \tilde"

In 2.0.5, this used to work perfect when I imported the bind file. Now, it
does not. When I import the bind file, the shortcuts show up as following:

Function  Shortcut
math-insert \ddot  Ctrl+Shift+'
math-insert \tilde  Ctrl+Shift+`

However, when I press the keys in math mode, nothing happens. (command
disabled). Upon further investigation, i found out that if I manually
create the shortcuts, they show up as follows:

Function  Shortcut
math-insert \ddot  Ctrl+Shift+"
math-insert \tilde  Ctrl+Shift+~

Why the difference? How do i write a bind file to add "Ctrl+Shift+~"
instead of "Ctrl+Shift+`" to the shortcuts? (i tried \bind "C-S-tilde" and
\bind "C-S-~" they dont work!)

Thanks in advance

No apology necessary. I just wanted to let you know why cross-posting
_without links_ can be bad.

I was actually just asking for you to post the relevant links so that
anyone looking at either thread can find the other thread (and thus
see what progress has been made in solving the problem). Feel free to
repost and paste a link to this thread. Here is the link:

I think you meant theorems-ams-bytype for the last one. That works, but it
still leaves "Theorems (By Type)" and "Theorems" incompatible with "Named
Theorems".

It turns out that the only thing Named Theorems needs as a prerequisite is
the Theorem* style, which it copies. So I tried deleting the #Requires line
entirely and instead added "Input theorems-starred.inc". It seems to work
fine, even if *none* of the theorem related modules are loaded, as long as
you don't mind that you have named theorems and the basic unnumbered
theorem-like environments (whether you want them or not) but perhaps not
other theorem-like environments.

If we want it to work with the vanilla Theorems module and "Theorems (By
Type)", I think we need to add the Input line -- they don't (currently)
input theorems-starred.inc -- regardless of whether or not we use the
requirements line.

The one thing I'm not sure about is why theorems-std.module and
theorems-bytype.module exclude theorems-starred: is it just redundancy, or
are std and bytype somehow incompatible with theorems-starred.inc?
