Suggestion about classes
Hello Lyx users & lyx makers. Thanks for making such a nice program ! I think Lyx lacks classes in order to make different kinds of documents. It's very easy to make an article, a book or whaterver you want, but as soon as you want to make somthing else (eg : a thesis, ...), it's a little more complicated and if you are not a programer or a Latex user, it's a little hard. Would it be hard to propose a system that would allow users to define themselves the classes they want, in a simple way (eg : like OpenOffice does for exemple, so I could define 9 parts/ chapters/ titles/ sections/ subsections/ subsubsection/ subsubsubsubsection and so on...) ?

I put this on my preambule as said in the jurabib faq :
\usepackege{jurabib}
\jurabibsetup{bibformat={tabular,ibidem,numbered}}
However lyx gives me this error when I try to compile :
"LaTeX error : Missng \begin{document}..."
I don't know why.

Bibliography
Hello, I've been using Lyx for a while now for my law thesis, and I'm very happy with it, but I still have a problem. I have to quote my references on a footnote this way : "author, nameofbook, wherepublished, year." (plus a bibliography at the end), but the only thing that Lyx can give me is : "[ 1 ]", or "[ AuthorYear ]", and produce a biblioraphy at the end. The problem is that is human sciences there is no choice, we HAVE to use the first way (quote the entire reference eache time we mention the book, or the article, in a footnote). I have found a package called "jurabib", that can help doing this, but I wondered if there was a way to include the package automatically using Lyx. I'm sure it would promote a lot Lyx into the human science community, because we have to use this format (and not the way "[ x ]" + biblio at the end), I know a lot of persons that would love to see this implemented. I'm also quiet sure that it would't be very hard to implement. I'm posting this message to both lists, so that maybe people can talk together a little, if interested (and if not yet done ;-) Any help appreciated guys. By, Jade.
Re: Lyx and jurabib : message to coders
I saw that in lyx 1.2.0 there was some support for the natbib package. In the next version if someone would like to include other packages like jurabib, it would be really really cool. This problem is really important for europeen users because not everyone uses US conventions for bibliographic style (to use [1] and the bibliography at the end). For a lot of persons specially in litterature or law fields we HAVE to put each time the correct bibliographic reference on a foot note (that means each time I quote someone I have to write : "author(s), book title, editor, page..." on a foot note ... and it's really boring without an automatic process). Maybe Lyx would be used in other fields (history, geographics, litterature, law...) if it supported such conventions. the jurabib package seems cool (all of those features included) if it worked... I have a few friends interested in Lyx for their thesis, but because of this US bibliographic style, it's not usable (and they are not technically competent enough to hack the code).

Lyx and jurabib
Hello, I'm trying to get Jurabib to work with lyx (http://www.jurabib.org/) but there's no way to make it work. Has anyone an idea if similar package exists - but that can be installed ? I'm using freebsd 4.6 stable, here's what doesn't work : As said in the documentation I install the package : % latex jurabib.ins # cp ./*.sty /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/jurabib # cp ./*.ldf /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/jurabib # cp ./*.bst /usr/local/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/jurabib # cp ./*.bib /usr/local/share/texmf/bibtex/bib/jurabib # texhash texhash: Updating /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R... texhash: Updating /var/tmp/texfonts/ls-R... texhash: Done. then : % latex jbtest.tex This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.2) (jbtest.tex LaTeX2e <2000/06/01> (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/book.cls Document Class: book 2000/05/19 v1.4b Standard LaTeX document class (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/bk12.clo)) (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/inputenc.sty (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/latin1.def)) (jurabib.sty (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/ifthen.sty) (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/calc.sty) (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/keyval.sty) (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/url.sty) (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/array.sty) Package jurabib Info: *** Local config file `jurabib.cfg' used *** (jurabib.cfg)) No file jbtest.aux.

Transcript written on jbtest.log. %bibtex jbtest.tex I couldn't open file name `jbtest.tex.aux' % - Has anyone a clue, why It doesn't work, neither with Lyx, neither by hand. If anyone knows a package that does the same thing that jurabib, thaks to drop me a mail. By, Jade
