Re: problems recognising existing git repo
Thanks Richard, problem solved - it was a path issue. This may help someone...if you want to use version control from within Lyx, you need to ensure that git is on the path. This can be set from within LyX at Tools - Preferences - Paths - PATH prefix.

Tracking changes output errors
Hi people. I have a Ph.d thesis as a master document with various branches. I've been using track changes to edit individual chapters. My problem arise when I try to produce the Master document without showing changes. I keep getting ! Undefined control sequence.\lyxadded or \lyxdeleted. The document can be produced if I show changes in the output file. It is only one include file which causes these errors. I'm using ubuntu 12.10.4 (LTS) and have Lyx 2.0.6 Thanks for any help Andy
Problem forward/inverse searching with Sumatrapdf 2.4
I am unable to get forward inverse searching working. Have followed instructions at http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SyncTeX, and have tried reinstalling the Lyx+miktex bundle Generating the PDF is no problem. When I attempt to forward search, the Lyx status bar reports "(forward-search)", no error is thrown, and focus shifts to sumatrapdf, however, no highlighting appears. Lyx Version: 2.0.7 OS: Windows 7 (64bit) Thanks in advance for any help and look forward to fixing this issue Andrew
RE: Converting sty to layout
Hi Vincent and Richard, now i am getting a different problem, I'm new to lyx
1.6.6.1 so i must be doing something erroneous. Let me detail my steps
1. Make copy of article.layout renamed as article-aer.layout
2. Changed -
\DeclareLaTeXClass{article}
To
\DeclareLaTeXClass[article, aer.sty]{article (aer)}
And added -
Preamble
\usepackage{aer}
EndPreamble
3. Saved article-aer.layout in C:\Program Files\LyX16\Resources\layouts
4. Open lyx, reconfigure, exit lyx
5. Reopen lyx, start new document, go to documents\settings choose "article
(aer)" as document class, clicked OK
6. Tried a test document
7. Then tried to view DVI or PS
Got the following error
"Undefined control sequence.
Undefined control sequence.
LaTeX error: Missing \begin{document}." Etc
With the following Description
" \nopagenumbers
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined."
Advice much appreciated!
Andy

We do need really detailed information about this. I can't imagine how
this might happen. I've tried it with both 1.6.6 and trunk, and don't
see any reversion no matter what I do.

Converting sty to layout
Hi all, I would like to know how to convert a sty file to a layout file. I have read the help\customization pages and followed the steps but it doesn't seem to work. My situation 1) Downloaded miktex along with lyx 2) Installed "vertex" latex package with miktex which includes an "aer.sty" file a. This "aer.sty" file is located in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\tex\plain\vertex 3) Followed steps in lyx help\customization to create a layout file that is of the "article" class a. This "articleaer.layout" file is located in C:\Program Files\LyX16\Resources\layouts 4) Reconfigured lyx Problem 1) The "article (aer)" does appear in document\settings\document class 2) But once i select it and start typing, it reverts to the plain "article" layout which is the incorrect layout. Your advice on how i could solve this is most welcome!

Abstract Layout template
Hi people I am trying to submit an abstract to a conference and I was wondering if anyone had/used/knows of a useful Lyx layout/LaTeX class for producing a one-page abstract. I've seen a lot of LaTeX templates on the web but they are too specialised or far too basic Thanks for any help Andy

QT fonts Blurry
Hey, I have recently installed Lyx 1.5.1 for windows from here: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows. All of the window fonts are blurry. A screen shot can be found here: http://lynet.ca/~alumb/lyx.bmp. How do you change the font used by Lyx for widgets? is it possible to turn anti-aliasing off? Thanks, Andy Lumb
Like to ask a question
Recently moved to Ubuntu, which I much prefer to windows. However, I'm having trouble finding a suitable word processor. My problem is that I need 'intelligent' outlining. Ie. header a child b child b child c child c child b header a I'd like to be able to then fold in by level so I can choose to see only header a's plus child b's, with child c's hidden or only header's and then be able to unfold in same way. I find it a good way to write / study. My question is whether I can do this with Lyx or is an overkill? If it is, any suggestions? I'm not going to be doing any proper DTP work. Rgds Andy

using lyx with latex2html (hyperlinks)
hello,
I'm writing up some documentation for a program I wrote with someone last
year. I've decided to use LyX because I like the program, and I thought it
would be easy to export to html using latex2html. I've tried this, and
it's working well apart from the problem that I can't make it translate
hyperlinks.
The first way I tried was to use the built in 'Insert Url...' option. This
doesn't work, as latex2html doesn't pick it up.
Then I tried inserting a raw tex sequence:
\htmladdnormallink{name}{url}
as described in the latex2html documentation. This doesn't work either -
it generates an error when I try to export to pdf, and when exporting to
html, latex2html still doesn't pick it up.
Has anyone found a way to get this working, as apart from this problem I'm
quite happy with the system?
Thanks,
andy baxter.

Hi --
I write scientific papers, occasionally including some mathematics
(mainly set theory). I've used "word-processors" from the era of WordStar,
under the CP/M operating system in the early 1980's, to Microsoft Word XP
and OpenOffice/StarOffice. I function as an elderly (age 72)
computer-user-former-typewriter-user, not a hotshot youngster who has
computers eating out of his hand.
With a bit of coaching from a young friend -- who solved those
install/configure problems that would have floored me -- I recently started
using LyX 1.3.3 (mostly in the Windows port, on Windows XP operating
system). I've never used TeX, have only glanced at LaTeX, and although I
desire to abandon MS Windows althogether, so far I've only dabbled in Linux
and Lindows/Linspire. I have spent some time reading the LyX Tutorials.
I have a text paper on my easel, and a related, longer, more
technical one one which will include some set theory (and will go to an
Elsevier journal) next in line. So far, I have found no way that works to
modify or abandon the "article" Layout > Document formatting available in
"native" LyX. Piecemeal changes, inflicted via the Layout facility, don't
persist in successive versions of the paper, and when they "revert", they
make the layout (viewed in DVI) look grisly.
Once I even found the Elsevier template (elsart.lyx) inside LyX,
under Templates. But I have not succeeded in making it WORK while I
continue creating my document.
Please guide me -- how can I obtain effective help with this problem?
Yours,

That looks good to me. I actually found that link in the archives, but
it was back in 1999 so I thought that there was probably a newer
version available. Thanks.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I do have sgmltools so I guess what I

Hmm, maybe I am incorrect in assuming that there is a .cls for linuxdoc.
Maybe it is something else as it seems that linuxdoc uses sgml...

This needs to be set in your .lyx/lyxrc file. I don't believe that it will
read the cwd, however, you can set the default directory that lyx uses.
For example, I have created a directory called Documents in my home
directory and thus in my .lyx/lyxrc I have included:
\document_path ~/Documents
Then whenever I save or open it will look first in that directory.
