Re: limit in number of reference entries in *.bib coming from jabref and used in lyx ? entries in reference list are cut off

2010-12-02 Thread Birte Schoettker
Hi all,

thank you very much for your quick and useful responses.

1. To cut the file in two did not make a difference.
2. I found a 'dodgy' reference in my list at Wa... (alphabetical order).
After that was removed, everything worked fine:).

@ Richard: Great hints. It must have been an illegal character, which I
could not immediately identify when looking at that reference and it was not
the first one that didn't appear. I will next time rather launch LyX from a
terminal and I will try ASCII encoding, but have to see how I go with my
special characters. Thank you for the kind offer of help.

@ Uwe: I thank you very much for your relevant comment; and you are right.
My list has resulted from the merger of a five year, multi-disciplinary
project. So, yes, I won't need all of them and should have 'cleaned out
earlier' for the sake of overview at least. And I do my best not to torture
the reviewer with inadequate referencing, though I might have been quite
thorough.

@ Rainer: I would love to know that, too, how to identify non-ASCII
characters in a bibtex file.


Delighted that things have progressed thanks to you all and I learned s.th.
again.
Cheers,
Birte

 That there is a cutoff is new to me. Does it help if you split your
 bib-file into 2 files and include them both to LyX?
 If not, does it help if you are using another citation style file (not
 harvard)?

 
 Just for my curiosity:

 Respect! 1900s citation in one document is tough. Are you sure anybody
 will/can have a look at so many citations? I mean its the duty of the
 professors reviewing/supervising your thesis to look that the citations you
 made are correct. This already a lot of work for 100 citations. How do they
 do this for more than 1000?

limit in number of reference entries in *.bib coming from jabref and used in lyx ? entries in reference list are cut off

2010-12-01 Thread Birte Schoettker
Hi all,

I run Lyx 1.6.6.1 under Windows and use Jabref 2.6 to create my *.bib file
for the references I use in Lyx via InsertList/TOCBiBTex Bibliography'.
That all worked fine so far for the last 2 years, gaining insights about
coding in jabref and dabandoning endnote for good on this way so far.

What confuses me these days, is that I cannot recall to have changed
anything relevant from last week to this in my *.bib reference file. I might
have added about 10 more references or deleted a couple.
However, the last times I tried to use my added bibliography in Lyx via
Insert Citation it has been missing all entries in my *.bib file or
jabref library alphabetically onwards from Wi*** to Z.
The number of my references in my library is 1898 (!). Is there a cut-off I
am not aware off?

Information that might be important:
- coding of my library: Cp1252
- BiBTexbibliography style in Lyx: elsarticle-harv

I will cut the bibliography in two shorter lists and save them separately as
*.bib and try to use them together in lyx (a new and my old files) for
starters.
Any other suggestions?

Any help would be highly appreciated (my thesis is due in 4 weeks...yet
again good timing, isn't it?:)).
Thanks a lot!

Kind regards,
Birte

Fwd: Output track changes in pdf with lyx 1.6 error

2010-01-18 Thread Birte Schoettker
Hi all,

please find below a description of the problems I encounter when trying to
print a pdf from a lyx 1.6 document where changes were tracked.
- packages soul and xcolor are installed (Uwe below had that suggestion, but
I had them installed already)
- OS is Windows
- psi works

the error message I get in lyx when trying to create a pdf reads as follows:
Argument of \NAT@@citetp has an extra }.
Paragraph ended before \NAT@@citetp was complete.
Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.
Argument of \...@citex has an extra }.
Paragraph ended before \...@citex was complete.
Missing \endgroup inserted.
Missing \endgroup inserted.
Missing } inserted.
Missing \endgroup inserted.
Missing } inserted.
You can't use `\end' in internal vertical mode.
Missing } inserted.
Missing } inserted.
Missing } inserted.
Extra \endgroup.

I assume it has to do with headings or references have been deleted...

Thank you very much indeed for suggestions.

Birte

So you need to install the LaTeX-packages soul and xcolor. What is your
operating system? On Windows, simply open MiKTeX's Settings (available via
the Start menu). There set the option install missing packages on the fly
to yes (probably this option is already set). Finally, open an Internet
connection and reconfigure LyX. All LaTeX-packages needed by LyX will then
be installed automatically.

In case you are on Linux, use the package manager of TeXLive to install the
packages.

Hi Uwe,

thanks a lot for your patient and detailed reply.
OS is Windows.
I have both packages installed.

One of my three documents worked finally inclduign to show the tracked
changes.
Still it seems that the changes I received from someone else in the two out
of three lyx documents (which before the changes were made converted to pdf
without error messages) are now packed with error messages. I will have a
closer look at the error messages of the two other lyx documents later today
and might post them here if I do not get anywhere.
- I have read that e.g. deleting references might cause problems.

Thank you again.
