Hi Michael,

biblatex is a differnet program than bibtex. One might allow paths that
are case-insensitive (this is incorrect behavior in my opinion on
Linux) while the other might not. Also note that LyX is a separate
program from the above two, so you might be able to select a reference
from LyX but biblatex not find it (again, because they are separate
programs).

In general on Linux, you should always be careful with case sensitivity
in filenames.

Best,

Scott

One of the possible reasons: machines never mistake, so when you browse 
for your .bib file through the dialogs, LyX gets the right path (or no 
path at all, if .lyx and .bib are in the same directory)

Re: Bibliography does not print when using biblatex instead of bibtex

[PhilipPirrip]

Hi Michael,
There's a lot going on in your example, but what's causing problems (if 
everything else worked before) might be just that you haven't set the 
path to your .bib file in the right way. Path names in Linux are case 
sensitive (yours begins with /Home, which is almost always /home), and 
there's probably user name missing (you have /Home/Documents, should 
probably be /home/michael/Documents).
So please first check this. Use pwd terminal command in the directory 
where your .bib file is, or check the path in the file browser (might 
only show when you press CTRL-L)
If your .lyx and .bib files are in the same directory, I'd suggest using 
this code in your preamble (just replace name_of_your_bib_file.bib)


\newcommand\mybibfile{name_of_your_bib_file.bib}
\ifcsname input@path\endcsname\else\def\input@path{{./}}\fi
\def\@@setabsolutebibname#1#2{\edef\@@absolutebibname{#1#2}}
\expandafter\@@setabsolutebibname\input@path{\mybibfile}
\addbibresource{\@@absolutebibname}

instead of \addbibresource{/Home/Documents/Arbeiten 
Mike/Hausarbeiten/MaHomex_Mike.bib}


This will make your project portable.

Good luck,
Pip

Hello Jürgen, Philip,
there is some progress;
I followed Philip's advice and checked the path to the bib file.
in \addbibresource{/home/m39/Documents/Arbeiten Mike/...} the ../mb39/.. 
was missing.

After correcting that the Reference appeared in the PDF document.

However, I also selected under Content all references and ticked Add 
bibliography to TOC.
But that had no effect at all. Only _*cited*_ references are shown and 
the *_TOC has still no bibliography entry_*.


Cheers,
Michael

We can add degree circle:

In text, with insert then special character then symbols... Then
Latin-1 Supplement and click on degree circle, there are 2 size
degreeCircle in Latin-1 supplement category.

In formula , from Math Panels then click Miscellaneous then click
textdegree.

Re: Bibliography does not print when using biblatex instead of bibtex

[PhilipPirrip]

Hi Michael,
There's a lot going on in your example, but what's causing problems (if 
everything else worked before) might be just that you haven't set the 
path to your .bib file in the right way. Path names in Linux are case 
sensitive (yours begins with /Home, which is almost always /home), and 
there's probably user name missing (you have /Home/Documents, should 
probably be /home/michael/Documents).
So please first check this. Use "pwd" terminal command in the directory 
where your .bib file is, or check the path in the file browser (might 
only show when you press CTRL-L)
If your .lyx and .bib files are in the same directory, I'd suggest using 
this code in your preamble (just replace name_of_your_bib_file.bib)


\newcommand\mybibfile{name_of_your_bib_file.bib}
\ifcsname input@path\endcsname\else\def\input@path{{./}}\fi
\def\@@setabsolutebibname#1#2{\edef\@@absolutebibname{#1#2}}
\expandafter\@@setabsolutebibname\input@path{\mybibfile}
\addbibresource{\@@absolutebibname}

instead of \addbibresource{/Home/Documents/Arbeiten 
Mike/Hausarbeiten/MaHomex_Mike.bib}


This will make your project portable.

Good luck,
Pip

Hallo Philip,
your example file is working here as anticipated.
So, one may conclude the problem with my attached sample file
(bibliography not printed)  is NOT caused by shortcomings of LyX and
KBibtex but may have to do with my settings.

See attached files. I left the basic structure intact as it might be
significant towards the problem and you can see all my settings .
The paper is using most of special elements needed and typical in
linguistics.

Hence, you probably have to install other package(s), e.g. covington.sty

Thanks and regards,
Michael

Hi Philip,
thank you, I will check what you said - makes sense. However, if the 
path to my bib-file is wrong, how can I cite references from it?
And: never ever did my system complain capital letters nor spaces in 
file names in any of my numerous LyX documents (before trying biblatex).


Anyway, I will check that too and then report back.

Michael

Hi Michael,

biblatex is a differnet program than bibtex. One might allow paths that
are case-insensitive (this is incorrect behavior in my opinion on
Linux) while the other might not. Also note that LyX is a separate
program from the above two, so you might be able to select a reference
from LyX but biblatex not find it (again, because they are separate
programs).

In general on Linux, you should always be careful with case sensitivity
in filenames.

Best,

Scott

One of the possible reasons: machines never mistake, so when you browse 
for your .bib file through the dialogs, LyX gets the right path (or no 
path at all, if .lyx and .bib are in the same directory)

 Also, note that the path for biblatex is set at a different place (the
preamble) than the path that LyX uses to access the bibliography (the
bibtex inset). If these two paths are identical, it should work.

Hello Jürgen, Philip,
there is some progress;
I followed Philip's advice and checked the path to the bib file.
in \addbibresource{/home/m39/Documents/Arbeiten Mike/...} the ../mb39/.. 
was missing.

After correcting that the Reference appeared in the PDF document.

However, I also selected under Content "all references" and ticked "Add 
bibliography to TOC".
But that had no effect at all. Only _*cited*_ references are shown and 
the *_TOC has still no bibliography entry_*.


Cheers,
Michael

Yeah, but that's only for bibtex. Remember, we are only tricking LyX 
into thinking that it should provide us with the citation dialog.



Use this instead of \printbibliography

\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[heading=bibintoc]

dotfill in tabbin or tables

[Csikos Bela]

Dear list members:

I would like to make a "table" looking someting like this:

Article Title
Product . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ID #
Another product . . . . . . . .  ID #
Third product . . . . . . . . . . .ID #

I tried the tabbing environment but I can't make the dotfill
in it.

What would be a good solution?
Using ERT is not a problem if I have to.

Thanks,

bcsikos

Add textdegree circle in lyx

[edu Gpl]

We can add degree circle:

In text, with "insert" then "special character" then "symbols..." Then
"Latin-1 Supplement" and click on "degree circle", there are 2 size
degreeCircle in Latin-1 supplement category.

In formula , from "Math Panels" then click "Miscellaneous" then click
"textdegree".
