Beamer and enumitem are incompatible. You can resume manually or with some

Jürgen, thanks again.

I looked at the stackexchange link. I copied the necessary code into my 
preamble.

But I don't know where to insert commands \seti and \conti.

Especially \conti is problematic as I don't know how I can insert it between

\begin{enumerate} and the first \item commands.

I made a beamer minimal example file which I attach here.

I have two levels enumerated lists, practically one first level in each frame.

Could you please show me on my example file how and where to insert those 
commands 
exactly?

Thanks,

There's no need to insert the stackexchange code (in fact, this is not 
possible with LyX, as you noticed yourself). Instead, use the module I posted:
http://marc.info/?l=lyx-usersm=138218324718365w=2

If you use the new style Enumerate-Resume provided by the module, the

Bibliographies hanging indents

[s . noble]

Hello list members,

Please bear with me as I'm newcomer to LyX.

This seems simple but I can't find an answer to it.

I'm using the Koma-script book class (LyX 2.0.6 on Mac OS X 10.7) and I'm typing
the bibliography references manually from within LyX. I'm not using any external
files or editors. (No time yet, I'll get to that later). Is it possible to
change the format of the bibliographical references in order to have them
typeset with a hanging indent, as is often done?

I've found how to remove the label from the bibliographical references, as I
don't need them, but I can't I can't get the hanging indent with manual entries.

Thanks for any help anyone might be able to provide.

Regards,

Sebastien

 Hello:

 It depends on the bibliography software you use.

 You can use bibtex, bibtex8 and biblatex.

 If you choose bibtex (that is my preference) you have to replace all
 special characters in your database to latex codes, eg. a\' for á, a\ for
 ä,
 \beta for Greek beta etc. In reality it is not necessary to replace all
 special characters,
 only those that will be included in the output. For example if you have
 abstracts in
 your database, and the abstracts won't be included in the bibliography,
 you don't have
 to replace special characters in the abstracts. The same applies to other
 fields.

 There are programs and scripts that can convert special characters in a
 file to
 latex code. Jabref bibliography manager also has such option.

 Bibtex8: I don't know how it works, I never used it.

 Biblatex supports utf8 and special characters.
 I found biblatex too complex. For me it's major disadvantage that I can not
 make a custom bibliography style file according to my liking (or need).
 The number of options for manipulating output is increasing but still you
 don't
 have a full control. For that one has to make a custom style file, but is
 is not
 easy, since biblatex scripting language is very complex.

 On the other hand making bibtex compatible style files with the help of the
 so called custom-bib program (makebst script) is much easier. These style
 files
 can be used with the natbib package. With a few exception you can make any
 type
 style file.

 Whichever you choose you will have to read the user manual for that
 package,
 that is, you have to spend some time to learn how to use it.

I hadn't yet used the hanging paragraph environment, and I can see it will

However, in the current situation, I've set up the bibliography using the

babel vs. polyglossia

I thought I could use a local layout and where I modify the
\begin{enumerate} and \end{enumerate} commands.

For example:

Style Beamer-Enumerate-Resume
CopyStyle Enumerate
LatexParam\conti
OptionalArgs  0
# a blue label to indicate that this is not a WYSIWYG label
# because the numbering differs in the output
LabelFont
  Color blue
EndFont
End

This adds \begin{enumerate} \conti

at the beginning of the environment when  Beamer-Enumerate-Resume is set.

But I don't know how I could modify the end of the environment:

to change \end{enumerate}  to \end{enumerate} \seti.

Is it possible? 

I attach an example file which includes the above local layout.
I inserted \seti commands in ERT, and it work, but I would like
them to be inserted by the style.

Thanks,

LyX XMPP-Enhanced Chat

[Tommaso Cucinotta]

Hi all,

I couldn't resist the temptation in the end, and I refined a bit
that patch for a LyX Chat, going forward along the QXMPP path.

I just attached the new patch to the original ticket:

  http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7964

and being XMPP-based, it also interoperates nicely with Pidgin for example, as 
shown in the VIDEO AT:

  www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQnVxbX8A3w

Plus, it doesn't need any chat server from the LyX side, as the many existing 
XMPP ones
can easily be used (as in the shown example, where I'm using jabber.org).

Comments are welcome of course, as always.

The bibliography is just set as a list, and all the list parameters can 
be controlled. But it looks like you are using koma-script, so perhaps 
someone who is expert on that has ideas. I don't really know that class.

Well, in the first example, you use the style incorrectly: You have to use the 
style Enumerate-Resume for _the whole list_ which should start with a 
resumed number. In other words: Never mix normal Enumerate and 
Enumerate_Resume in a single list.

I thought I could use a local layout and where I modify the
\begin{enumerate} and \end{enumerate} commands.

For example:

Style Beamer-Enumerate-Resume
CopyStyle Enumerate
LatexParam\conti
OptionalArgs  0
# a blue label to indicate that this is not a WYSIWYG label
# because the numbering differs in the output
LabelFont
  Color blue
EndFont
End

This adds \begin{enumerate} \conti

at the beginning of the environment when  Beamer-Enumerate-Resume is set.

But I don't know how I could modify the end of the environment:

to change \end{enumerate}  to \end{enumerate} \seti.

Is it possible? 

I attach an example file which includes the above local layout.
I inserted \seti commands in ERT, and it work, but I would like
them to be inserted by the style.

Thanks,

LyX XMPP-Enhanced Chat

[Tommaso Cucinotta]

Hi all,

I couldn't resist the temptation in the end, and I refined a bit
that patch for a LyX Chat, going forward along the QXMPP path.

I just attached the new patch to the original ticket:

  http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7964

and being XMPP-based, it also interoperates nicely with Pidgin for example, as 
shown in the VIDEO AT:

  www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQnVxbX8A3w

Plus, it doesn't need any chat server from the LyX side, as the many existing 
XMPP ones
can easily be used (as in the shown example, where I'm using jabber.org).

Comments are welcome of course, as always.

Thanks indeed for that quick reply.

I hadn't yet used the hanging paragraph environment, and I can see it will
be helpful. I appreciate you pointing it out.

However, in the current situation, I've set up the bibliography using the
\setbibpreamble  \breakbibliography commands (with help from a kind
contributor to this list) in order to have preambles and different sections
within the bibliography. I've just tried what you suggested and the
Hanging Paragraph environment won't work within the Bibliography
environment. So, is it possible to create a hanging paragraph within the
bibliography while keeping the Bibliography environment intact?


The bibliography is just set as a list, and all the list parameters can 
be controlled. But it looks like you are using koma-script, so perhaps 
someone who is expert on that has ideas. I don't really know that class.

Jürgen, thanks again.

I looked at the stackexchange link. I copied the necessary code into my 
preamble.

But I don't know where to insert commands \seti and \conti.

Especially \conti is problematic as I don't know how I can insert it between

"\begin{enumerate}" and the first "\item" commands.

I made a beamer minimal example file which I attach here.

I have two levels enumerated lists, practically one first level in each frame.

Could you please show me on my example file how and where to insert those 
commands 
exactly?

Thanks,

bcsikos

There's no need to insert the stackexchange code (in fact, this is not 
possible with LyX, as you noticed yourself). Instead, use the module I posted:
http://marc.info/?l=lyx-users=138218324718365=2

If you use the new style "Enumerate-Resume" provided by the module, the 
necessary code will be inserted automatically.

If you need to know how to install and use a "module", look here:

Bibliographies & hanging indents

[s . noble]

Hello list members,

Please bear with me as I'm newcomer to LyX.

This seems simple but I can't find an answer to it.

I'm using the Koma-script book class (LyX 2.0.6 on Mac OS X 10.7) and I'm typing
the bibliography references manually from within LyX. I'm not using any external
files or editors. (No time yet, I'll get to that later). Is it possible to
change the format of the bibliographical references in order to have them
typeset with a hanging indent, as is often done?

I've found how to remove the label from the bibliographical references, as I
don't need them, but I can't I can't get the hanging indent with manual entries.

Thanks for any help anyone might be able to provide.

Regards,

Sebastien

If you don't need the labels and are just entering reference info, then

OK. I set all items to Enumerate-Resume. Even then it works only

if I have one level. If an item has subitems it does not work.

What I want to achieve is making tests.

The questions are numbered and each slide has one question.

The answers below the questions are labeled by capital letters from

A to D or E. I want to be able to rearrange the order of questions

without changing the numbers manually. I also want to copy questions

between documents. As a next step I also would like to highlight the correct 

answers, inlcuding the labels (if it is possible at all).

I just described this because there might be other methods to make such

documents than I tried to do so far.

Thanks,

I thought I could use a local layout and where I modify the
\begin{enumerate} and \end{enumerate} commands.

For example:

Style Beamer-Enumerate-Resume
CopyStyle Enumerate
LatexParam\conti
OptionalArgs  0
# a blue label to indicate that this is not a WYSIWYG label
# because the numbering differs in the output
LabelFont
  Color blue
EndFont
End

This adds \begin{enumerate} \conti

at the beginning of the environment when  Beamer-Enumerate-Resume is set.

But I don't know how I could modify the end of the environment:

to change "\end{enumerate}"  to "\end{enumerate} \seti".

Is it possible? 

I attach an example file which includes the above local layout.
I inserted "\seti" commands in ERT, and it work, but I would like
them to be inserted by the style.
