Adding to what Richard just said (and which is most likely the right diagnosis):
T
he biblatex module linked to in the wiki is slightly different from
what I have on my installation (2.07 on Linux as well). Here is what
it looks like:


#\DeclareLyXModule{Biblatex-citation-styles}
#DescriptionBegin
#A prerequisite for using the biblatex package. This module simply
#enables the author/year citation styles without actually loading natbib.
#Biblatex itself needs to be loaded manually. Cf.
#http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex
#DescriptionEnd

Format 11

# this is biblatex actually
Provides natbib 1


# this line simply tricks lyx into tracking the .bcf file provided by biblatex
# and forces it to fire biber.
AddToPreamble
\typeout{File: \jobname.bcf}
EndPreamble


Notice the last segment that forces biber to run (which you will most
likely need with biblatex).

You have presumably made a mistake in copying the file. Better just to 
save the file from the web directly into your ~/.lyx/layouts/ directory 
(which will be empty until you put something in it), then reconfigure.


If you still get an error, start LyX from the command line. Then you 
will be error messages which we can use to debug.

Not pretty, but it seems to work.

 1.) Above the \title environment I have the \extratitle environment with
the book title. When previewed with dvips this half-title page is in
standard size font, left justified.

 Page 61 of the KOMA-Script manual describes the \extratitle environment
and provides an example:

\documentclass{scrbook}
\begin{document}
 \extratitle{\vspace*{4\baselineskip}
   \begin{center}\textbf{\Huge Me}\end{center}}
 \title{It's me}
 \maketitle
\end{document}

 When I try to replicate lines 3 and 4 with ERT the document throws errors
when compile it. What do I need to do to increase the typeface to bold,
change the size to Huge, center it, and move it down from the top of the
page?


  Anyone know how to implement this in LyX? My trial-and-error attempts have
not produced anything.

Trouble loading biblatex module

2014-02-20 Thread Jason F. Siegel 

Hello all,

I'm hoping this is as simple a problem as my other recent query. I would 
like to use biblatex to generate a bibliography, but I'm running into 
trouble. On my Ubuntu 13.04 machine running LyX 2.0.7, I have tried to 
follow the instructions on the wiki ( 
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex) to little success. I have copied 
the text of the biblatex.module file ( 
http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/BibTeX/biblatex.module) and saved it to 
/home/myusername/.lyx/layouts (which was otherwise empty-- I'm not sure 
if that's normal). I then reconfigured LyX and restarted. When I tried 
to load the module Biblatex-citation-styles, I got an error message: 
Error reading module biblatex. I appreciate any insights!

Preface in KOMA-Script Book Class

2014-02-20 Thread Rich Shepard 

  There is no 'Preface' environment that I can find in the menus. My thought
is to use Chapter* for the Preface and add it to the TOC manually. Is there
a perferred way of doing this?
