I have always thought it was pronounced leek, as in "latek".
Other people whom I speak to pronounced it "leeks". Perhaps
my inclination is a borrowed habit from the friend who
introduced me to LyX back in 2001. Either way, this reminds
meof {(Open)SuSE}OR{SUSE} and {Linux}OR{GNU/Linux}
controversies, let alone the pronunciation of Linux and
SuSE.
I pronounce it "latech" [l��:teχ] ending like Bach... but then again people
in certain parts of the world will pronounce that weird too.

Re: Font size
Talking about formatting books... wouldn't memoire make that easier? I played around with it a long time ago before discovering LyX. But I can't figure out how to use it with LyX properly to produce the same result I got when used it typing LaTeX manually (N.B. I've only applied myself casually to the problem). It would be great if someone in-the-know could write up a wiki page with memoir-lyx tips and tricks. -- Anders Dahnielson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

A good idea is to uninstall previous LyX packages instead of do a upgrade with your own, because there can be a problem if you only build the Qt frontend yourself when the old package also want to upgrade the xforms frontend. -- Anders Dahnielson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

One suggestion would be to save the Emacs information into a *.tex file and in LyX insert it as a child document (Insert>File>Child document) and specify include type as "input". Then all you have to do is update the *.tex file from Emacs. No more copy-and-paste... even if the paste tastes good ;-) -- Anders Dahnielson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Suppressing URLs in jurabib
Anyone who know some way to suppress printing of URLs in citations when
using jurabib?
I put the following in the LaTeX preamble:
\renewcommand{\biburlprefix}{}
\renewcommand{\biburlsuffix}{}
\renewcommand{\jburldef}{}
However, it leaves an extra comma at the end of the citation. Argh!

If you're using LyX 1.4.x, don't add \usepackage{jurabib} to the

jurabib.cfg (in the same directory as jurabib.sty), which will change
settings for *all* documents using jurabib; if you want to add or modify
settings for a particular document, add the following to your document
preamble:
\jurabibsetup{...}
(where "..." should be a comma separated options list, such as
"citefull=chapter,opcit=chapter").
Thanks for pointing out that! Obviously a better way to do it.
In my experience, it's best not to redefine \cite as \footcite. Rather,
you can simply insert the citation in a footnote in the normal way.
(That is, within LyX insert a footnote, then insert a citation.) Don't
forget to follow your citation by a period inside the footnote.
Yes, that's simple and obvious way to work with LyX and jurabib. Thanks!
I'm writing a book (philosophy) with jurabib and LyX-1.4, and it works
beautifully.
Smashing!
Just a question: Are there any smooth way to hide the reference/bibliography
list in LyX so it will not be included? My solution is to hide it in a Note
block, once the bib file has been processed (if the citations become "?." I
just "unhide" it and generate a temp output, then "hide" it and regenerate
the proper output).

LyX and jurabib
Hi folks!
I'm new to the users list but not that new to LyX and LaTeX.
While trying to figure out how to use jurabib [1] for humanities and LyX
this morning I found this
half-elegant-workaround-hackish-style-solution-thingy. I don't know if it
been reported before, tried to search the archives but couldn't find
anything similar, so I decided to write it up as a blog post [2].
Thought maybe also people on this list wanted to know about it, so here it
is.
First I include the following in the preamble to control the citation style:
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[%
titleformat=italic,%
titleformat=commasep,%
commabeforerest,%
ibidem=strict,%
citefull=first,%
lookat,%
oxford,%
pages=format,%
idem%
]{jurabib}
\renewcommand{\cite}{\footcite}
This is just an example style using the latest version of jurabib ( v0.6).
Because I'm not going to use the regular bibliography formating but jurabibs
footnotes I must insert the following code in the document, presumably last,
using Insert > TeX Code and put the following in the ERT block:
\bibliographystyle{jox}%
\nobibliography{jbtest}
But this alone will not make it possible to use the LyX support for looking
up and inserting citation. To enable that I must also insert a regular
BibTex Bibliograhy as usual and select the BibTex database to be used. Of
course this will give me a regular bibliography at the end of the document
(or wherever I decided to insert it). Since that bibliography is only a
concern for LyX and not the final LaTeX document I've come up with an rather
elegand solution: Put the BibTex Bibliography in a LyX Note block! That way
LyX will still find the BibTex database but the \bibliography code it
generate will never reach the LaTeX processor.
The hiding only works in LyX 1.4! In LyX 1.3.6 you need to have the BibTeX
Bibliography block outside any notes. The problem is that you will end up
with an empty bibliography list and a header. To remove it I insert the
following code in an ERT block right before the BibTeX Bibliography:
\renewcommand\refname{}
For articles, or the following for reports and books:
\renewcommand\bibname{}
This remove the header, there is still an extra empty page. Less smooth but
it works too. Or just upgrade to LyX 1.4.
