Problem with intext citations with custom BibTeX .bst file

2008-10-25 Thread Andrew Barr
Hi all,

I have been using the java program Bib-It to put together my own
custom BibTeX style file.  It is working very well, but the problem I
am having is that I don't seem to be able to specify in-text citation
styles with Bib-It and I don't speak .bst.

Right now the in-text citations only list the first author and year.
I need it to list (FirstAuthor [ SecondAuthor], Year). For more than
two authors, (FirstAuthor \emph{et. al}, Year). I only want to use et
al. for in-text citations.  In the full reference list I need to list
all authors.

My .bst file is available here
https://webspace.utexas.edu/wab536/www/custombst_nat.bst

Any help is much appreciated.

Formatting in-text citations

2008-09-24 Thread Andrew Barr
Hi Lyx Users,

I am compiling a large annotated reading list for my PhD comprehensive
qualifying exams.  I want to use lyx because of the flawless integration
with my large BibTeX database.  However, all of the BibTeX style files that
I have used previously have abbreviated in-text citations.  The behaviour I
seek is, upon inserting a citation into an itemized environment, BibTeX/ LyX
should place a fully fledged verbose bibliographic entry at the in-text
citation location.  Does anybody have ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Andrew

Converter failure with Sweave

2008-03-20 Thread Andrew Barr
Hi all,

Using Lyx 1.5.2 and MiKTeX 2.5 on XP.  I am trying to use the Sweave
to create literate-article documents.  I haven't found great
documentation for how to do this on a windows install, but I have
pieced together the following steps, that ultimately fail when I try
to produce any layout by any method.  I get the following error.
Lyx:Cannot convert file.  An error occured whilst running R CMD
Sweave newfile2.Rnw.  Anybody know why?


What I did
(1) download Noweb.sty file
(2) verify that MiKTeX is indexing the directory containing Noweb.sty.
(3) create a preferences file that contains the following code, store
this in the Lyx Users directory, and verify through Lyx menu that this
correctly updates converters

# FORMATS SECTION ##
\format literate Rnw Sweave  editor editor
\format r R R/S code  editor editor
\format pdflatex tex LaTeX (pdflatex)  editor editor
\format latex tex LaTeX (plain)  editor editor document

# CONVERTERS SECTION ##
\converter literate r R CMD Stangle $$i 
\converter literate latex R CMD Sweave $$i 
\converter literate pdflatex R CMD Sweave $$i 

(4) Copy literate-article layout files to users directory.
(5) reconfigure Lyx.

Then comes the error when I try to get any output.  Thanks.

formatting text within a bibtex citation

2008-03-12 Thread Andrew Barr
I use Lyx 1.5.2 on XP with bibtex to write academic papers.  I sometimes
want to cite a reference as an example of a point I am making using the
Latin expression *e.g*..  What I am going for is something like the
following.

 Many researchers have said blah blah blah (*e.g.* Smith, 2005).

When I insert a citation into Lyx, using InsertCitation I have the option
of putting in Text Before to appear before the citation.  This is
great...but I want that text to be in italics.  Any thoughts on how to make
that happen?  Do I have to modify the bibtex .sty file?  If so I have no
idea how to do this.  Seems like a small thing...but I have an adviser who
is a stickler for that formatting convention in particular!

Thanks for any pointers,

Andrew
