Re: Change chapter number as displayed in LyX
Sure, see attached. Adjusting the LyX numbering like this is something I've
found myself wanting to do a number of times.
Thanks for your time,
Matt

Note that I resolved this for now using the following:
\newcounter{previouschapter}
> \newcounter{previoussection}
> \newcounter{uniquechapteranchor}
> \newcommand{\pushchapter}{%
> \let\previouschaptertitle\parttitle%

\setcounter{previouschapter}{\value{part}}%

\chapt{\value{previouschapter}} %
> shorthand for \setcounter{part}{n-1}
> \part{\previouschaptertitle~(cont.)}%
> \sect{\value{previoussection}}%
> \stepcounter{section}%
> \stepcounter{uniquechapteranchor}%
> }
and then
> \part{Real part }
\pushchapter
> \part*{Interrupting part}
\popchapter % output a new part, but don't start a new part in LyX
\section{this is in real part}
LyX continues numbering with the previous part even though I write a new
part in the output

Hello LyX users!
I've searched the mailing list archives and found some instructions on
how to change the texlive installation, which LyX uses and added the
following to my `.profile`:
START
###
# texlive manager #
###
export MY_TEXLIVE_LOCATION="/usr/local/texlive"
export PATH="${MY_TEXLIVE_LOCATION}/2019/bin/x86_64-linux:${PATH}"
###
# LYX #
###
# LYX must know where texlive is installed, otherwise it will have limited
functionality. # prepend web2c path
export TEXMFCNF="${MY_TEXLIVE_LOCATION}/2019/texmf-dist/web2c" #
":${TEXMFCNF}"
# export
MANPATH="${MY_TEXLIVE_LOCATION}/2019/texmf-dist/doc/man:${MANPATH}"
# export
INFOPATH="${MY_TEXLIVE_LOCATION}/2019/texmf-dist/doc/info:${INFOPATH}"
~END~
And it worked great for a day, I got lots of writing done. Then the next
day I restarted my machine and LyX complained about not finding any
textclasses and that it would have limitations.
Whenever I hit Tools > Reconfigure, I get an error on command line output:
START

It seems like an implementation bug in the script, expecting another
type. I think it could also be Python 2 str VS Python 3 str related.
When I go to Tools > TeX Information, the paths all point to my Guix
profile, instead of the path I defined in the TEXMFCNF environment
variable in my `.profile`. I think that is the reason, why it cannot
find much there. I did not install texlive using Guix, but installed it
by downloading it and installing every single package of the 2019
version using the default installer, which I think in turn uses tlmgr.
My PATH variable starts as follows:
START
/home/xiaolong/.nvm/versions/node/v13.9.0/bin:/usr/local/texlive/2019/bin/x86_64-linux:
...
~END~
So it is definitely on the path. According to
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/454513/how-to-specify-the-path-to-texlive-in-lyx/454523#454523
that should be sufficient, but obviously it is not. It also does not ask
me after a while to restart it or anything, after rescanning in Tools >
TeX Information.
Here is some more system information:
START
xiaolong@xlx200:~$ lsb_release -a

~END~
Here is a complete log of the output on command line, when I run
`lyx2.3` (it even says, that it will use a wrong texlive):
https://paste.debian.net/1136648/
So at some point my LyX did look at the correct path, but not it is not
and I need to fix it.
What can I do to make LyX pick up the correct texlive installation path?

Change chapter number as displayed in LyX
Hello,
I'm interrupting a numbered chapter with an unnumbered chapter, and I would
like to continue sections within that previous numbered chapter. I've done
this on the output side with \setcounter{part}, but in LyX the chapter
number is still incremented.
I've fixed this for the first instance using the local layout
Counter part
InitialValue 12
End
but I haven't found a way to give LyX a command mid-document to adjust
numbering.
Is this currently supported?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi
Yes, these options come from settings in the Hyperref dialog.
"bookmarks=..." = "Generate bookmars (toc)"
"breaklinks=..." = "Break links over lines"
"pdfborder=..." = "No frames around links"
"colorlinks=..." = "Color links"
"backref=..." = "Backreferences"
However, there seems to be no option for the "unicode=..." which seems
like an oversight. And the biggest problem is that according to the
manual:
Note however that some options (for example unicode) can only be used
as packge options,and not in \hypersetup as the option settings are
processed as the package is read. (p. 6)
So, unicode=false has no effect as an additional option.
My guess is that this is a bug in LyX but others might know better.

We are as well, and I don't entirely know why it is done this way. It
could be worth raising on lyx-devel.

Hello Kornel!
How do I tell Guix about the new path?
I might be wrong, but as far as I understand LyX installed through Guix
is just another binary sitting in a different place. How LyX considers
environment variables should be independent from how it is installed,
unless the people maintaining the Guix package changed it. I guess
people, who maintain the Guix package would also be on this mailing list
and might know more about any differences with regard to

Hi
When "Use Hyperref Support" is checked in PDF properties Lyx
automatically inserts
\usepackage[unicode=true,
bookmarks=false,
breaklinks=false,pdfborder={0 0 1},backref=section,colorlinks=false]
{hyperref}
in the preamble. Any ideas where all these options come from? are
they hard coded?
Setting "unicode=false" in additional options doesn't seem to
override the "unicode=true". So if unicode=true is causing a problem
(in particular trying to redefine \C or \G) then this all has to
added manually.
MWE attached. Using Lyx 2.3.4.2 on Ubuntu 18.04
Hi
Yes, these options come from settings in the Hyperref dialog.
"bookmarks=..." = "Generate bookmars (toc)"
"breaklinks=..." = "Break links over lines"
"pdfborder=..." = "No frames around links"
"colorlinks=..." = "Color links"
"backref=..." = "Backreferences"
However, there seems to be no option for the "unicode=..." which seems
like an oversight. And the biggest problem is that according to the
manual:
Note however that some options (for example unicode) can only be used
as packge options,and not in \hypersetup as the option settings are
processed as the package is read. (p. 6)
So, unicode=false has no effect as an additional option.
My guess is that this is a bug in LyX but others might know better.
Well, the code is:
// Since LyX uses unicode, also set the PDF strings to unicode
strings
// with the hyperref option "unicode". (With Xe/LuaTeX and pTeX,
// unicode=true is the default, with Japanese (platex), the option
// leads to errors (even if the input encoding is UTF-8).)
if (!runparams.isFullUnicode() && !runparams.use_japanese)
opt += "unicode=true,";
That is: LyX outputs unicode itself in some cases, so setting
unicode=false could lead to errors. Still, it might be worth a document
preference on this.
Riki
An alternative might be to set the "Additional Options" via the package
options rather than hypersetup.
Daniel
Thank you for your responses. I can't say I fully understand why Lyx
needs to be as it is; I'm generally against hard coded parameters.
I will work round by manually coding the preamble.
Cheers
