converting numbered bibliography to author-year, using bibtex
Hi, I would appreciate some help regarding the following problem. I am (still) using LyX 2.0.2. I have a paper prepared with the above version of LyX, using the article template for Springer (svjour3). The problem is that I have prepared the bibliography in the simplest way, that is the bibliography items are written explicitely in the LyX document, and referenced by numbers. However, in the journal they want references by Author-year, and as far as I can understand this can only be done by having the list of references in *.bib files. I no nothing about BibTeX, and I am confused by the diversity of programs and details concerning BibTeX. What could be the simplest way of doing the conversion, and what exactly should I do, step by step, to accomplish it? Leslaw

Re: problem with creating layout file for some class
My attempts to open the new/converted LyX file cause a message (this is a translation; it may be not exact): "The class cannot be loaded. As a result of the error in the document class file: ijnam could not be loaded. A default document class will be used with a default layout. LyX cannot produce a correct result". The file is then opened, but indeed the file structure seems to be different from the intended one. I stress that in my opinion the class has been installed correctly, as it works with TeXWorks. Also, there were no messages of this sort previously, before installing your layout file. So, I would rather suspect that something has to be changed in the layout file. My inability to import the original TeX file into LyX (after installing the layout file) seems to confirm this idea. Leslaw
Re: problem with creating layout file for some class
Here are the files in your LyX 2.2 version format. I need the format for 2.0.2. Leslaw On 2016-09-05 16:45, Richard Heck wrote: > Attached are a working layout and test file.

Re: problem with creating layout file for some class
Thank you very much.
I have copied the layout file and reconfigured LyX, apparently without
any visible problems.
Unfortunately, an attempt to open the LyX file results in a message:
C:/LyXTemp/lyx_tmpdir.gq2504/Buffer_convertLyXFormat. Ya254 is not a LyX
document.
Another attempt, to import the original TeX file yields a message:
An error occurred while running: tex2lyx -f "ijnam.tex" "ijnam.lyx"
and nothing is read.
Possibly there is some version incompatibility. I have LyX 2.0.2
installed.
Is there any way to solve the problem without installing a different
version?

I have wasted a whole day trying to figure out the origin

I think now that this is not a problem with svmono, but a general
problem with LaTeX fonts. The svmono class assumes as default the
Serif / Times Roman fonts. The \boldsymbol command does not work
for this font. Although the bold+italic combination is properly visible
under Lyx in the math equations, it does not appear in pdf files,
supposedly because there are no suitable fonts.
All other fonts do not exhibit this deficiency, and \boldsymbol
works OK for them.
I have found a workaround that may be acceptable, although not ideal.
The idea is to insert the following command into the equation:
\textbf{\textit{XX}}
where XX is the symbol to be displayed in the bold+italic form.
This produces the desired effect in the pdf file, although the letters
are somewhat bigger than other letters.
I have a feeling that this problem should be widely known,
so that I am surprised that noone has been able to respond
constructively to my messages. Or, maybe there are better solutions?
If there are, I would be happy to know.
Someone suggested to use the isomath package, but this gives
a worse result, in my opinion, than the above solution, as for the
Serif / Times Roman fonts the bold form does not appear in pdf.

math formulae in section titles
Hello, I am using the svmono class to write a book. My question is: is there any way to put mathematical formulae in the titles of the sections or chapters in such a way so that they have the proper size (adapter to the size of letters used for the titles) ? A simple placing of the formulae does not look nice. Leslaw
The persistent problem with svmono class and \boldsymbol font
Hello, About a year ago I asked about the problem that I have while using the svmono class. I have done some additional tests and it seems to me that there must be some bug in the LyX template for svmono. So, if the author of this template reads my message, I would appreciate some help. The problem is as follows: I need to use the font \boldsymbol in the equation editor. This font is properly visible under LyX, but when I generate a pdf file, then the font looks identical as the standard equation editor font (that is the letters are not thicker). I suspect that this is a bug in the svmono LyX template, because the problem does not occur in the default document template of LyX, that is when the svmono class is not used. In the latter case the font looks properly in pdf files. I hope there is some way to fix this problem ? Leslaw

running titles in svmono
Hi, I am using Springer svmono class under LyX, and I experience the following problem. There are running titles generated seemingly automatically by svmono, at the top of every page. These running titles are identical to the titles of the current chapters or sections. All is OK when these titles are short. But when they are long, they get superimposed on the page numbers, which looks rather badly. Is there any way to eliminate this problem? Leslaw

a problem with formatting acronyms in svmono class
Hello,
I am using the Springer svmono class under LyX, to write a monograph.
The class has a template for acronyms, which allows authors to make
explanations in the following way:
XXX {blablabla}
{blablablabla}
ZZ {blabla}
This means, that an acronym to be explained is followed
by an explanation in braces. The problem seems to be that the
explanations are not aligned to any vertical line, but occur in
various places, depending on the length of the explained symbol.
This looks rather ugly (as is shown above).
My question is: can one do anything to force the alignment of
all left braces at the same distance from the left margin?
I would like to have something like in following list:

formula numbering
Hi, I am writing a book using LyX, and I have a question regarding the formula numbering. An exclusive way to add and reference the formula numbers seems to be via equation labels. This works, but appears rather irritating when one has to invent unique names for hundreds of equations. Is there no simpler way? I do not quite understand why these labels must be used, in the situation when LyX seems to keep track of every new equation all the time, and updates the equation numbers automatically. It would be much easier just to refer to the various equations by these formula numbers, without having to use additional labels. Are there no plans to introduce such an improvement into LyX? Leslaw
Re: formula numbering
Richard Heck rgheck at lyx.org writes: What happens, then, when you add a new equation somewhere in the middle of the document? This is what LyX already does - it updates automatically the equation numbers. My point is why one cannot use these numbers for referencing the equations in the text, since they are already there, up-to-date. There has often been talk about automatic labelling, so that the equation would have its own magic label, so to speak, and you could reference it without needing to make up a label. But no one has found the need pressing enough to do it. This is difficult to understand for me. LaTeX users are primarily scientists who write scientific texts. In such text one ALWAYS refers to equations by numbers, and not by any peculiar labels. Still, making up a label isn't that hard, and it can make it easier to remeber which equation you want to reference later. You can of course just use numbers if you wish. Well, yes and no. If I use my own labels, like E1, E2, E3 etc., then I am in trouble when I need to add something between E1 and E2, let's say. The problem is that user-defined labels are not automatically updated, whereas the real equation numbers are. Hence, I have a mess in which labels are in no clear relation to the numbers. So, in conclusion, I daresay the LaTeX/LyX system for equation numbering needs a reasonable revision. If there are any LyX programmers out there, please do something about this!!! Leslaw

Hi, I have checked my MikTeX files, and I see that the isomath package is probably already there (there are directories \source, \doc]latex, \tex\latex, tmp\packages, doc\latex\isomath, all in c:\Program Files\MikTeX 2.0 ). I also have the access to the \mathbf fonts from the level of LyX. However, I cannot get the italic+bold effect on my computer. Choosing the \mathbf function produces upright bold characters. The same happens when I choose \boldsymbol. But, I have also installed seemingly the same MikTeX and LyX versions on my laptop, and on the laptop I am able to obtain italic+bold, by choosing \boldsymbol, if I remember. I regret I am not really literatate in LaTeX to be able to verify what I actually have installed and what not. So, my question is, what should I do, step by step, to have italic+bold on both computers, under LyX? Leslaw

various fonts in math equations
Hi, I am using LyX on a PC operating under Windows XP, with MikTeX. I need to have math equations containing symbols written with various fonts. By using the terminology of MS Word/Windows, I need the following combinations: 1) Italic 2) Bold 3) Italic+Bold I have been able to have 1 in Lyx (this in fact appears by default while typing the formulae). I have also been able to have 2, which can be done if I change the font to /mathbf in the equation editor. But I have not been able to achieve 3. Is there any way to do this? The point is that I'd like to see these effects not only in LyX itself, but also (or maybe in the first place) in the pdf file generated by LyX. Leslaw

problem with subscripts
Hi, I need to produce some symbols with a subscript inside the text. Is there any way to do this without inserting expressions into the text? In principle, the expressions give what I need, but for some reason the font style is then changed automatically into italics, and they remain like this even if I try to change fonts in the expression. I do not want to have this. I need symbols and subscripts in ordinary fonts, not italics. Leslaw

multiline equation with a single number
Hi, I have a new problem. I have a long, numbered equation, that does not fit into the page width, so that I need to break it into two lines. LyX has some provisions for doing this, but I cannot figure out how exactly to proceed. If I press CTRL-ENTER within the numbered formula, I get two numbered lines, but I need two lines with only one number. If I choose the multiline environment I get indeed a formula with several lines, but no numbering at all. So, my question is how to obtain a single equation, but consisting of two lines, and with one number (at the end of the second line)? Leslaw

question about math equation editing
Hi, I am trying to learn how to use the math equation editor in LyX, and I have encontered a problem. The manual says that while writing integrals one should pay special attention to correctly writing the d letter, which is an operator, hence it should be written as an upright letter. In order to achieve the effect, the manual suggests to highlight the letter d, and then use the keyboard shortcut ALT+C R. I am trying this, but this does not work. Instead of changing the style of the highlighted d, I get the whole equation highlighted (blue colour). The same happens if, alternatively, I choose the main menu options Edit/Text style/Capitalics. So, what should I do? Leslaw
one more problem with the Springer svmono class
Hi, I have one more problem with the svmono class from Springer. The class has a master book file and subordinate files for chapter and appendix (among other files). Initially the master book file has only one chapter and one appendix (labelled A). So, I have added more chapters and appendices to see what happens. The inclusion of more chapter files is OK. They are properly seen as separate chapters, and the sections and subsections of them become properly numbered. But the same does not happen with appendices. I would be happy to see Appendix A, Appendix B, etc., but unfortunetely all distict appendix files become numbered identically: Appendix A, and all sub-sections are also numbered identically, although they come from different files. Is there any way to force the automatic renumbering of the appendices? Leslaw

class svmono
Hi, I am new to LaTeX and LyX, and I am trying to start writing a document using the Springer SVMono class/template for LyX. I have downloaded and installed the class. LyX offers a number of templates for this class, in particular svmono-book-master, svmono-chapter, svmono-foreword, etc. I am now able to read any of these files, which contain some pre-defined stuff. One may think the stuff is correct by itself, since I have not changed anything in the files. However, when I choose the view option, for example pdf or pc, I get lots of error messages. I suppose the book-master file has to be combined somehow with other files to form a complete structure of the document, and I tried to re-edit the names of the various files in the book-master document to make them connected, but this did not help.

Hi, I am new to LaTeX and LyX. I have a document written in MS Word, containing lots of math equations plus text, and I want to copy it into LyX. Is there any way to do it? I see that this issue was discussed in the past in this forum, and the suggestion was to write the doc file in the html format, and then import the html file into LyX. However, I do not see any option in LyX, to import or read html. So, how can I make the conversion? I want to use the Springer svmono class for the final document. I have installed the class. Will that be possible? Leslaw

installing LyX
Hello, I am new to LaTex and LyX. I want to install LyX under Windows XP. Which installer should I use, and what exactly should I install, if I have nothing related to LaTex previously installed on my computer? I am asking, because I cannot see a relevant explanation in the LyX web pages, but rather some confusing statements regarding the relationships of LyX with MikTex and CygWin. Is CygWin necessary for running LyX? There are two installers, one smaller, seemingly without MiKTex, and the other bigger, with MiKTex, but the first one (not the second one) is stated to install also MiKTex. This seems inconsistent. My further question is: can I install LyX on a computer which is not connected to internet? Do the installers download something from the web during the installation? L.B.
