ModernCV and Section Bibliography Problems

[Danny Parker]

I'm trying to make a CV with different sections for Journals, conferences,
etc in LyX 2.0.  I'm trying to follow the example shown
herehttp://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Publist but
using the modernCV class. I can run the example code fine but when I do it
using my document I get an error found unknown 'thebibliography'
environment.  After digging into that it seems that document class or some
package is interfering.  I've tried clicking the natbib option but that did
not clear things up.  I'm at a lost of what to do next.  My files are
included below.  Any help would be appreciated.

 Hi,

 I personally don't know how to achieve your caption format, but I can point
 you in the right direction. What you want to achieve can be controlled at
 the latex level. There will be some latex code that you can put in your
 document's preamble to achieve it.

 One option that I can think of, off the top of my head, is the caption
 latex package. You might want to search for its documentation and read it. I
 don't know for sure if this package can do what you want, but it is likely.
 In any case, now that we have established that it is a latex question, it
 can be asked on dedicated latex channels. There are latex experts roaming
 this list as well, but you would increase the likelihood of an answer by
 asking on comp.lang.tex, etc.

 Cheers,
 Julien

Re: Custom Class Figure Problem

[Danny Parker]

That did get the figure number and caption in the same line (much thanks)
but it did not single space the caption.  Do you know of a quick way of
fixing that?  I tried just using the paragraph settings but it seems the
class has redefined /singlespace so when I try to make the pdf I get an
error.  Thanks to the help of another user I think I can edit the class to
rename the command freeing up /singlespacing.  The one thing I'm unsure of
when doing that is do I only have to reconfigure LyX or do I need to do
something with MiKTeX also?

Again thanks for the help.  It's very much appreciated.

 If you modify the class file you don't need to reconfigure anything I'd
 think. If you made a renamed copy of the class file under a different name,
 and change or rename your LyX layout file accordingly, then I'd think you
 would need to reconfigure LyX.

Custom Class Figure Problem

[Danny Parker]

I'm having a problem getting properly formatted figures in my output.  At
first I was using LyX float and insert graphic command which I mistakenly
though would format figures according to the class of my thesis.  However it
caused the caption of the output to be something like

figure
Figure #
Double spaced caption

Where the guideline is

Figure
Figure #. Caption single spaced

Upon some digging I found that the class defined a new command \Figure which
reads in *.eps files only.  So I tried inserting ERT to call that class but
when I try to create a pdf I get an error that says LaTeX Error: Unknown
graphics extension: .eps.  After doing some searching I think this is
because it is not properly calling the graphics format converters.  This is
where I'm beyond my understanding to fix.

What I want to do is either get the ERT to work properly or to change LyX's
settings to produce the proper formatting.  Any help anyone can give would
be greatly appreciated.

ERROR: \singlespacing already defined when using paragraph settings

[Danny Parker]

I'm getting the following error when trying to switch to single spacing in
my document.

LaTeX Error: Command \singlespacing already defined.

From reading up on similar errors I think it may be a conflict between
packages but I'm not experienced enough to know which ones cause the
conflict and which ones can be deleted.  My document class is the thesis
class for my university which I'm including and it looks like it installs
the following packages:

\documentclass[oneside,english]{msuthesis}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}

\usepackage{units}

\usepackage{textcomp}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage{setspace}

\usepackage{nomencl}


Can anyone point me in the right direction since Google wasn't any help?
 Thanks in advance.

Re: ERROR: \singlespacing already defined when using paragraph settings

[Danny Parker]

Thanks a lot for the help.

Is that the line that says \newcommand{\singlespacing}{1}?  So I could
just replace all \singlespacing with something like \snglspcing?

If so, I'm not sure if that will address what I'm ultimately trying to do.
 My root problem is that when I insert a float figure, lyx's
\inlcudegraphics command has a caption that has the figure number and
caption on separate lines.  Where the thesis.cls defines a function \Figure
that supposedly does it all on one line (per the guidelines).  However, when
I insert ERT and call the classes function I get an error LaTeX Error:
Unknown graphics extension: .eps. which I don't know what to do with.  Any
suggestions there?

  If you look in your cls file, you will see that it does define a
 \singlespacing command. When you try to change to single spacing, LyX
 includes setspace.sty, which I think also defines a command by that name.
 The solution, for our purposes, is probably to change the command in the
 class file to something else, and then search and replace the other
 occurrences.

 Hi,

 The problem is not the definition above. LyX doesn't know about such custom
 commands anyway.

 The problem is on line 47 of msuthesis.cls:
 \RequirePackage[dvips]{graphicx}

 Comment it out (put a % in front), or at least remove the [dvips] part,
 which loads settings for /a particular driver/ which conflicts with your use
 of pdflatex.

 Then, it works. Here at least.

Re: STY Layout and \maketitle Help

[Danny Parker]

I still haven't been able to figure this out.  As far as I can tell the
problem boils down to that MikTeX can use the .sty from the command line and
I can't get LyX to generate a DVI without errors.  Any suggestions?

Re: STY Layout and \maketitle Help

[Danny Parker]

I just did that and I noticed a few differences.  LyX is adding the
following lines that are not in the LaTeX file and I'm not sure where they
are coming from.

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}

The only other difference I can see is that LyX has

\documentclass[twocolumn,english]{article}

where the LaTex has

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}

 Try exporting the document to LaTeX and comparing to to what you get when
 you do it manually. Otehrwise, I'm not sure.

Any idea why LyX is adding these files?  Is there a way in LyX to edit the

LaTeX that compiles fine and testlyx.tex comes from importing the test.tex

 Yes, to control the TOC. But they are harmless.

 The crucial difference is that \maketitle comes earlier---probably too
 early---in the LyX file. Can you post the LyX file? And the phm.style file?
 I can't compile anything without that.

  Choose TitleERT as your first paragraph style, from the drop box at the
 top left, and then put the \phmHeader{ in ERT. Then do the title and other
 stuff, then choose TitleERT again, and put the closing } in ERT. Or, if
 you're just working with the file you had before, change the paragraphs with

Creating New Layout Help

[Danny Parker]

I'm trying to create a .layout file for a .cls file I've been given.  I've
tried following the Customization tutorial but I am having no luck after two
frustrating days.  So I tried to back up and make the most basic layout file
I could.

#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this

#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[book]{hellobook}

Input stdclass.inc

I save the file as hellobook.layout in my C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX
1.6.3\Resources\layouts directory.  I then do a ToolsReconfigure and a
restart of LyX.  When I restart I start a new file then go to
DocumentsSettingsDocument Class.  Hellobook is in my drop down list but
when I select it I get the following error

LyX: Could not load class.  The document class hellobook could not be
loaded

When I click ok I get another error

LyX: Error.  Unable to set document class

This is the same error I get no matter what .layout I create.  I know there

Re: Creating New Layout Help

[Danny Parker]

Thanks again.  I got mixed results but ultimately successful.  I tried
making the changes you suggested, reconfigured, restarted and I got the same
error.  I then downloaded the file you included and it worked.  When I
opened your file in notepad to see what was different I noticed that yours
showed the formatting characters.  For example where there should be line
returns there were boxes and the next word didn't start on the next line.  I
wonder if notepad was putting control characters in that were causing the
error.

I'd also like to understand why that fixed my problem.  From my
understanding the arguments in the [ ] are the necessary classes and the { }
is what is displayed in LyX.  Inside my msuthesis.cls there is a line

\LoadClass[letterpaper,12pt,oneside,onecolumn,openany,final,titlepage]{book}

so I thought it was derived from the book class and thus needed the
[msuthesis,book].  This is almost exactly the case in 5.2.4.  Did I
misunderstand the help file?  Thanks again for all your help.  It's much
appreciated.

I save the file as hellobook.layout in my C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX
1.6.3\Resources\layouts directory.  I then do a Tools>Reconfigure and a
restart of LyX.  When I restart I start a new file then go to
Documents>Settings>Document Class.  Hellobook is in my drop down list but
when I select it I get the following error

"LyX: Could not load class.  The document class hellobook could not be
loaded"

When I click ok I get another error

"LyX: Error.  Unable to set document class"

This is the same error I get no matter what .layout I create.  I know there
is something simple I'm missing but after searching for two days I at my
wits end.  If anyone could give me some pointers it would be much
appreciated.

Re: Creating New Layout Help

[Danny Parker]

Thanks again.  I got mixed results but ultimately successful.  I tried
making the changes you suggested, reconfigured, restarted and I got the same
error.  I then downloaded the file you included and it worked.  When I
opened your file in notepad to see what was different I noticed that yours
showed the formatting characters.  For example where there should be line
returns there were boxes and the next word didn't start on the next line.  I
wonder if notepad was putting control characters in that were causing the
error.

I'd also like to understand why that fixed my problem.  From my
understanding the arguments in the [ ] are the necessary classes and the { }
is what is displayed in LyX.  Inside my msuthesis.cls there is a line

\LoadClass[letterpaper,12pt,oneside,onecolumn,openany,final,titlepage]{book}

so I thought it was derived from the book class and thus needed the
[msuthesis,book].  This is almost exactly the case in 5.2.4.  Did I
misunderstand the help file?  Thanks again for all your help.  It's much
appreciated.

Re: Creating New Layout Help

[Danny Parker]

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the help.

I see now that my example was too simplistic but I'm still having the same
problem.  I'm actually trying to do what is in 5.2.4 and my layout file is
msuthesis.layout and is save in C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX
1.6.3\Resources\layouts

I took the book.layout and changed the \Declare line to include the
msuthesis.cls and to report the name to LyX as msuthesis.  I also added the
Preamble as described in 5.2.3.  I wasn't sure that I needed that with a
class so I tried it with and without the Preable. I still get the same
errors I described earlier.  Also, I've checked to make sure MikTeX has
msuthesis.cls by compiling the example document from the command line.  It
created the .ps file correctly.  My layout file is below.

Re: Creating New Layout Help

[Danny Parker]

I think it's definitely windows text editors that have been causing me the
problems.  I went and edited the file you gave me by deleting the Preamble
and it stopped working correctly.  I've tried both windows notepad and
wordpad are these known problems or do I not have some settings correct?

Re: Creating New Layout Help

[Danny Parker]

That is the best I can track it down too.  I'm including two files.
msuthesis.layout was done with notepad++ and msuthesis2 was done with
windows notepad.  I don't know if it makes a difference but I'm using XPx64.

[Danny Parker]

So you don't need the book class even though the msuthesis class calls it?
