Page numbers in pdf display
Hello, as my thesis requires roman numerals for the front matter and arabic numerals for the main matter I would like the resulting PDF file to display always the right number as on the printed paper. Right now it displays something like i -- 1 ii -- 2 etc. 1 -- 7 2 -- 8 etc. as the PDF viewer simply counts from the first to the last page. However, I have seen already LaTeX-PDF-Files that display always the same page number as is being printed. How can I achieve that in LyX 1.5.5 and XeTeX on latest MacTeX?

If I got you right, you want to avoid your default page style (headings) for
some parts of a document. Try to insert some ERT before:
\pagestyle{empty}
and after the section:
\pagestyle{your_style_as_in_document_settings_dialogue}
This should work but I have not tried it myself.

Jurabib and Harvard
Hello,
I am helping my girlfriend to make a harvard style citation with
Jurabib in LyX. First I tried it with Natbib, but doing it with Natbib
is rather difficult especially as her works are to be written in
languages other than English (Natbib can not really put authors in
small caps and many BibTeX styles compatible with Natbib do not look
good for, say, German, Spanish or Croatian papers). And the harvard
package is–as far as I can see–not working in LyX.
Anyway, Jurabib offers everything needed. Telling from a post in 2003
off the German TeX-list, Jurabib is configurable for a harvard style as
in (Author, 2008: 27):
http://groups.google.com/group/de.comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/b00600f956c569f5/dbd521c31a89cf72?lnk=stq=jurabib+doppelpunkt#dbd521c31a89cf72
However,
in LyX it seems to conflict when with the citation commands in LyX. The
most compatible solution seems to be the default citation command
(taken from LyX’ source view):
\cite[11]{Eco2003Wie-man-eine-wi}
with this setup in the LaTeX preamble:
\jurabibsetup{authorformat=smallcaps,authorformat=year,round}
\jbyearaftertitle
\renewcommand{\jbcitationyearformat}[1]{#1:}
Unfortunately, it does not produce the desired output, it produces
something like: (Eco 2003: 11). What I need now is a comma between
author and year: (Eco, 2003: 11). But I can not find any hint how to do
that. Any ideas?
Thanks for you help,
Maksi
Re: Jurabib and Harvard
Okay, I was about to give up. I wrote the post above after spending
almost a day on configuring LyX and Natbib or Jurabib for the desired
Harvard style. Sometimes I hate these configuration orgies but then in
the end, I always manage to achieve what I have been trying. I hated
LyX and LaTeX so much all day long and now everything works just fine
and I can not help but have to love it again. Sweet as.
This is how I managed a Harvard style including small caps in Jurabib
for in-text citations:
\jurabibsetup{authorformat=smallcaps,round}
\renewcommand{\jbcitationyearformat}[1]{\unskip,\space#1:}
(Put it in the preamble) This: {\unskip,\space#1:} is pretty much of a
hack, but it works.
Cheers :)

Re: Jurabib and Harvard
Okay, I was about to give up. I wrote the post above after spending
almost a day on configuring LyX and Natbib or Jurabib for the desired
Harvard style. Sometimes I hate these configuration orgies but then in
the end, I always manage to achieve what I have been trying. I hated
LyX and LaTeX so much all day long and now everything works just fine
and I can not help but have to love it again. Sweet as.
This is how I managed a Harvard style including small caps in Jurabib
for in-text citations:
\jurabibsetup{authorformat=smallcaps,round}
\renewcommand{\jbcitationyearformat}[1]{\unskip,\space#1:}
(Put it in the preamble) This: {\unskip,\space#1:} is pretty much of a
hack, but it works.
Cheers :)
Jurabib and Harvard
Hello,
I am helping my girlfriend to make a harvard style citation with
Jurabib in LyX. First I tried it with Natbib, but doing it with Natbib
is rather difficult especially as her works are to be written in
languages other than English (Natbib can not really put authors in
small caps and many BibTeX styles compatible with Natbib do not look
good for, say, German, Spanish or Croatian papers). And the harvard
package is–as far as I can see–not working in LyX.
Anyway, Jurabib offers everything needed. Telling from a post in 2003
off the German TeX-list, Jurabib is configurable for a harvard style as
in (Author, 2008: 27):
http://groups.google.com/group/de.comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/b00600f956c569f5/dbd521c31a89cf72?lnk=st=jurabib+doppelpunkt#dbd521c31a89cf72
However,
in LyX it seems to conflict when with the citation commands in LyX. The
most compatible solution seems to be the default citation command
(taken from LyX’ source view):
\cite[11]{Eco2003Wie-man-eine-wi}
with this setup in the LaTeX preamble:
\jurabibsetup{authorformat=smallcaps,authorformat=year,round}
\jbyearaftertitle
\renewcommand{\jbcitationyearformat}[1]{#1:}
Unfortunately, it does not produce the desired output, it produces
something like: (Eco 2003: 11). What I need now is a comma between
author and year: (Eco, 2003: 11). But I can not find any hint how to do
that. Any ideas?
Thanks for you help,
Maksi

So far, I never had to come up with my own style, but probably using

already enough for you. If not, you can surely play around with it

Also, is there any possibility to change the default cite command

hung.
That is a LyX issue (as far as I can see). Simply put all citations
into footnotes first and you should not have any problems.

In plain LaTeX exactly copying the definitions is a rather painful task and requires some editing like this (http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0303098/public/lyx/definition-latex.tiff), whereas LyX makes it a lot easier and nicer to look at (http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0303098/public/lyx/definition-lyx.tiff).

What I meant with you having to learn at least some LaTeX was that the
template is using quite a lot of LaTeX to set up some individual stuff
especially for TU (?) Dresden. Unless that look is what you really,
really want, you will have to change some things. And then it might
seem easier to start from scratch and build your own template (this way

No, I don't use natbib at all. biblatex is absolutely independent from natbib, there is only a natbib-compatibility-mode in order to use natbib's commands (\citep, \citet etc.), not the ones biblatex provides (\parencite, \textcite etc.).

Regards, Dominik.- biblatex is a really, really cool package and is useful to anyone, from physics to philosophy students.

It would be cool though to not only have it implemented in LyX some day, but also to have a comfortable set-up window/dialogue for it, where one could access all biblatex styles and options with the ease of a few mouse-clicks (and maybe even create custom styles). If I knew how to code, I would do that instantly but apart from some Turbo Pascal :) that I learned at grammar school many, many years ago, I do not know anything.

Many of your questions regarding customization are KOMA-related questions in the end and for many of them you will need to put LaTeX-code either in the preamble or via ERT. The KOMA-handbook will help you to find out, what code to put where. And, by the way, if you do not need to use the template from Dresden in Berlin, then you might as well make your own template, based of preferrable KOMA-Book or Memoir (rather than the standard classes). Simply start with the basic documents and slowly set up your document the way you need it. Snowy greetings from Vienna, Maksi
