This may not be what you want, as it is more suited for showing small movie clips within a presentation. Does anyone know how to include a link that runs a system command like mplayer FILENAME?

Lyx Bibliography section without numbered entries
Although using Lyx for a few years now in my science subjects, I have a history essay due on Monday and that is making me use features of Lyx that I am not very familiar with. As far as bibliographies are concerned, I read about Jurabib (and with the help of a few people on this forum got it to work). However, the footnote citing in Jurabib is not what I need (there is no punctuation between the author and the title, for example) and I don't have time to work it all out. Instead I am using the Lyx Bibliography paragraph style for the first time. It is working fine, but by default produces a bibliography with entries numbered in square brackets. The style required for my history essay is to have the entries unnumbered, in alphabetical order (which I can do manually, it is not that big), and WITH ALL BUT THE FIRST LINE OF EACH ENTRY INDENTED! I have 2 questions: - Can I get the bibliography paragraphs to format this way? - If not, is there a manual way to achieve indenting on all but the first line of a paragraph? When I have more time I will look into Jurabib more thoroughly, as it is the really satisfying way to do things. - Lachlan

Re: jurabib from within lyx
I think the reason is that the babel package has to be loaded before jurabib.
Try \usepackage{babel} before \usepackage[bibformat=numbered]{jurabib}.
This worked, thanks.
I now have a few more questions:
1. Is it possible to get a footnote reference any way other than inserting ERT
and writing \footfullcite{REF}? (the Insert-Citation menu entry does not
produce a useful citation reference in the final document)
2. When I did get it to work using the ERT method above, the footnote
reference was poorly formatted. There was no punctuation between the author's
name and the title. The reference was far better formatted in the actual
bibliography. Is there any way to get the proper formatting in the footnote
reference?
Thanks,
Lachlan

jurabib from within lyx
Hi,
I am a science student, and so the standard NatBib stuff within Lyx has been
all I have ever used. However, I am doing a history subject and want more
humanity-friendly references (full references as footnotes).
After a while browsing and searching online, it seems that the jurabib package
is what I need, but I can't get it to work. Nor can I find a useful howto
anywhere.
Following bits of advice from all over the place, this is what I have done:
- turned off NatBib in the document preferences.
- added the following line to the Preamble under document preferences:
\usepackage[bibformat=numbered]{jurabib}
- selected jurabib as the style for the bibtex generated references
I have created a test document with only one reference from a database of about
10 entries. I now have it down to one Latex error when I try to produce DVI
output (I started with many many more). This error occurs in the line where
the reference is cited, and says:
Paragraph ended before \org@@citex was complete
I suspect you've forgotten a }, causing me to apply this control sequence to
too much text. How can we recover? My plan is to forget the whole thing and
hope for the best.
I would greatly appreciate assistance with this problem.
