Please keep in mind that you can rather easily change formatting of the references anytime you please while still not messing (and thus loosing time) with the actual archive. This is a rather routine capability actually. Word+EndNote can do it too. Further, I have seen a live demonstration of some features of EndNote and RefViz that are pretty cool; there is nothing comparable in BibTex+Pybliographic or addons as far as I can find. It turns out I don't need those capabilities but I can see their usefulness. You can also SQL-query for references if your university library offers such service. I for one, consider the TexMed web interface a god send. Again, pretty routine stuff. EndNote can do it. OO.org's bibliography is far better than whatever hack you can get with the native MS Word endnotes. I'm not sure we are on the same page . . . EndNote isn't a native Word package of course, it is an add on software package. I tried OO's built in bibliographic support and found it pretty useless for now. Latex+pybliographic was much better than OO's built in stuff for bibliographic management. I would put Latex+pybliographic as in the same class as Word+Endote. Word+Endnote have a few more features for bibliographic management, but the basics are there in both. As I said there are some advanced features that Word+EndNote+RefViz can do that have no counterpart in open source AFAIK (unfortunately). Rich Hi, My 5 cents ... One of the major feature with LyX/LaTeX is the text file. How many documents do you have in Word 2 that can not be opened anymore ? And how many more do you expect to loose with the evolution of Word file format ? With text files you know that it will allways be possible to recover the information, even if LateX or LyX disapear. Another major feature is the size of the files. Producing a simple paper for a scientific journal with a few equations and figures can result in a word file of several MB while in LaTeX/LyX it will be a few k, even including the size of the ps files for figures. And for last, your arguments are very much depending on the use of pybliographic. I would say your comparing pybliographic with EndNote and not really LyX with Word ... Anyway, take a look at JabRef (http://jabref.sf.net). I was using pyblio and after trying JabRef I was so impressed I changed on the same day. Give it a try, its a great sofware. Regards EJ

Just for curiosity why do you want to do that? :-) I have a small script that creates a bunch of dirs and populates them with empty documents that I use when I start a paper or report. Like notes documents, R scripts and so. One of them is report.lyx. I'm just being lazy :) The best I have been able to do was: rm -f test.lyx lyx -x command-sequence buffer-new; buffer-write-as test.lyx; lyx-quit But it still launches the gui although it closes it without any interaction. The first rm is necessary or else lyx will complain that we are overwriting that file, if it exists. Thanks I hope it helps, EJ I'll give it a try. Best regards and thanks. EJ
creating an empty document from the command line
Hi, I want to create an empty document without starting the lyx gui, just using the command line. Is it possible ? Thanks EJ

Looking for a layout for reports that include computer language code.
Hi, I'm writing a report that describes several changes in a database. I want to include some SQL code that I've used but I couldn't find a layout with a computer code style. Is there something allready done for this ? Thanks EJ

help with layout
Hi,
I'm making a layout for my reports (IPIMAR reports) but I'm having
trouble with a style (ComputerCode). I can see the doc classe in the lyx
gui but the style I've hadded does not show.
Looking to other layouts and the lyx documentation I don't see why this
is happening so I'd like some help please.
Thanks
EJ

broken compiler with lyx + qt
Hi There were several messages about the broken compiler error several people is getting when compiling lyx with qt. This has been addressed a few days ago with lyx1.3.0pre3. Someone posted an workaround but I was not able to find it. In the mean time it seems that this is a problem with SuSE 8.1 and gcc so I've posted a bug report to them (Ticket [2003020501236]) and I'm still waiting for the response. When I'll get and answer I'll post it here. Regards EJ

1.1 to 1.2.3
Hi I'll report my experience. Maybe it will help. I had some trouble in finding the file. I had to download version 1.3.0 and compile it so I could get the lyx2lyx file. The rest was pretty simple has lyx files have the format number in the beggining I just made a less to the file and it was ok. No problem with the interface. My opinion is that it shoud be distributed separately. It is helpfull if you have old files and you want to work on them. Like an old thesis and you want to use it to write a paper (that was my case). It can also be usefull if you have to downgrade a file. The format could be detected instead of described by the user and only the output should be defined, name and format in lyx version. Regards EJ But we could also distribute it separately, no? BTW, Jose, an idea for lyx2lyx, for people who want to run it by hand: it would be nice to specify the format as a lyx version number, since noone really knows what is the right format for lyx 1.2.0, for example.

Hi I have a file writen in LyX 1.1.0 and now I'm working in LyX 1.2.3. When I open the old file my tables appear in LaTeX code, of course they're still tables and I'm able to produce a nice ps file, but I'm not able to use the LyX facilities to format then. Is there a way around this ?

Using natbib
Hi I'm using natbib but I want to use parenthetical references by default. The LaTeX file produced by LyX uses the \cite command, that is treated as a textual reference by natbib. So the default becomes a textual reference. To use parenthetical references it should use either \cite[] or, as preferred by the natbib author, the \citep command. How can I change this ? Thanks EJ

natbib and LyX
Hi
Does anyone uses natbib with LyX ? Does it work ? Is there anything I
should now before instaling it ? like: lyx stops working and all your
documents are damaged after instaling natbib, or, your life will never
be the same as you'll take 2 hours to make a citation reference.
Is there another way to do non parentichal references ? I've tried to
insert latex code \bibitem but it didn't work. I have
\usepackage{apalike} in the preambule.
Thanks
EJ

Re: latex2html misplaces images/converting to m$ word
Hi I had a similar problem. When I used latex2html a bunch of errors avoid me from producing the .html file. I simple used the export command from lyx and it worked ok ... I think there are some flags to the latex2html program that I wasn't using but the export from lyx did. Hope this helps EJ

Huge size of lyx binary
Hi Just now I noticed that the lyx binary is about 45MB is it so !? Is there something wrong ? BTW I compile myself version 1.1.6fix4 in a SuSE 7.1 box. Regards EJ

If it works, no, not really wrong. It probably has debug information included. If you are not trying to find bugs from LyX, you probably don't need it and can remove the debug information with the command: strip lyx

Bibtex and apalike
Hi
I'm using bibtex and apalike style to process references. I have two
problems (at least :-)
1) When there are more then 2 authors it doesn't process author et al.
2) It uses the entire author's name in the text. For example,
@Article{john99,
Author = {{John Doe}},
Title = {A},
institution= {BB},
year = 2000,
}
is printed on the text like (John Doe, 2000) instead of (Doe, 2000)
Can someone help me with this ?
Thanks
EJ
ps: I've included in the latex preamble \usepackage{apalike}
