Re: Shell-escape enabled but not working

[Mario D]

A few months ago I posted about this problem: sadly I got no reply. :(

Even more sadly, I have not been to solve the issue!

So I am still forced to export my lyx file to a tex file and compile it
running "pdflatex -shell-escape" to update pictures, before being able to
go on with my work in Lyx.

I really don't understand why Lyx doesn't behave like it is intended, since
I ticked the right option and this is driving me crazy!

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

M

PS: if needed I can provide a MWE (but I don't know how to provide it: can
I attach a file?)

Lyx 2.3.7 on Linux Mint

[Mario D]

Hi,

I have seen that a new version (2.3.7) has been released.
Trying to upgrade to this new version, I tried to install lyx PPA but I get
the error
"This PPA does not support jammy".

My PC runs Linux Mint 21 Vanessa (which is the LTR based on Ubuntu 22.04).

How can I upgrade Lyx on my PC?

Even if I don't like snaps very much, even a snap would be welcome.

Thanks

Shell-escape enabled but not working

[Mario D]

Hi,
I have a document which uses the external library of tikz, so I need shell
escape.

I have lyx 2.3.6 so I enabled shell escape via

Nevertheless, when I run pdflatex, I get this error:

-

! I can't write on file `myfile_figure0.md5'.



\relax

Am I missing something?


BTW, if I export my lyx file to a latex file and I compile it (with
pdflatex --shell-escape), it compiles smoothly.

Re: Pasting latex in a lyx file

[Mario D]

Paul,

Ctrl+Shift+V works just fine for me, thanks!

My fault, and I beg your pardon for this, for not having tried the relative
option in "Edit -> Paste Special" : I just tried the "Paste from LaTeX",
which doesn't work  in my case (I am pasting tikz figures, so @rich: I was
referring to the second option).

Thank you everybody. :)

Pasting latex in a lyx file

[Mario D]

Hi all,

sometime I need to paste some latex code inside a lyx file.
When I do this, I lose all the formatting and, in particular,  I lose all
new lines: this means that what I end up with in my red box in lyx is a
complete mess which requires a lot of editing.

This is quite annoying: am I missing something which results in this
behaviour?

Opening file saved by 2.3 in windows

[Mario D]

I am working on a joint project with a colleague. My colleague has windows
with Lyx 2.2.3 while I have linux with Lyx 2.3

Now I edited the file but I realized that I used a different Lyx version.

You can guess my questions: will he be able to edit the file I am sending
to him?
If I got it right, he won't so the second question is: how can I share the
work I did with him?

Thank you.

PS: I know I don't need to add anything to a subject which is quite

Re: Background color in a paragraph

[Mario D]

I tried box with colored background but they don't work properly if the

It is possible to get this, but it is not straightforward.

Given that I do not use the feature quite often, the hack I proposed is
fine for me.

Yet, I think it is a feature that would be nice to have natively.

Background color in a paragraph

[Mario D]

Is there a simple way in lyx to change the background color of some text,
maybe a paragraph?

I have not been able to find a way to do this natively: the only way I
could obtain it is by using the "soul" package, then inserting the latex
code "\hl{" in ERT just before the the text to be highlighted and then a
closing "}" at its end.

Adding qed-like symbol to examples

[Mario D]

Hi all,

I would like that every example should be closed by a symbol of my choice
(say, for example, a black triangle).

I tried what is suggested in this answer:

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/36791/including-end-mark-in-definitions-and-examples-using-amsthm

The suggested code works in a plain text file but if I try it in a lyx file
I get an error saying that example is already defined, since lyx already
defines it (the same error doesn't show for definition since the relative
environment in lyx is called "defn").

So the question is: is there a way to use the package thmtools in lyx and
avoid such problems?
Otherwise, how can I get my goal in lyx?

Thank you

Compilation error with lyx 2.2.2 (and not in 2.2.1)

[Mario D]

Hi all,

I have a file on which I am currently working. It compiled fine under lyx
2.2.1.
Today I upgraded to lyx 2.2.2 and compiling the very same file results in
an error which I previously didn't experience.
The error is as follows:

-
Undefined control sequence

Let $\sigma\left(f\right)\coloneqq

f\left(x_{\sigma\left(1\right)}...

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.

--


In other words, the control sequence \coloneqq which was previously known
to lyx, is not known any longer.


What is happening?

Enumerate inside other environment

[Mario D]

I know how to nest environments so that I can use enumerate inside another
environment in order to produce something looking like:

-
Theorem. The following are equivalent:
   1. First statement.
   2. Second statement.
-

My question is: how can I produce

-
Theorem.   1. First statement.
   2. Second statement.
-

The only way I could get it was to insert an empty note after the
"Theorem", then newline, start the enumerate and finally nest it.
Is there a "cleaner" way?

I couldn't find anything relevant on lyx manuals.
Moreover, how can I produce the following?

-
Theorem.
   1. First statement.
   2. Second statement.
-

For this I couldn't find a workaround.

Thank you

Re: [PATCH] Inserting references to label

[Mario D]

I see that this small bug has been fixed with 2.2.1.
Yet there still is a small glitch: when I hit "Go back" I am really back to
where I was, but the "Ok" button is greyed out, so to insert the reference
I have to select a different one and then reselect the previous (if it was
the correct one, of course).

Thank you.

Ok, now there are (to me) two interesting patches: this one and the other
concerning moving and selecting with ctrl+arrows: is there any chance to
see these implemented in a future minor release or should I start thinking
about recompiling on my own?

Inserting references to label

[Mario D]

After opening the dialog box to insert a reference to a label, when  a
label is chosen there is a button  "Go to label" in order to check whether
the label is really the correct one. Good.
After having hit this button, it is replaced with "Go back", so that I can
get to the original point after having checked the label. Ok.

The only drawback, in this, is that when I am back to the original point
the label I checked is no longer selected, so that now I know whether it
was the right one or not but, possibly, I don't remember its name...  :(

Am I doing something wrong?

To make the dialog box behave even better, maybe it would be nice if when a
label is selected then a (small) preview/portion of the formula or of the
text is displayed (and maybe it could be chosen by the user whether to
activate this option or not).

Re: Fwd: Moving around

[Mario D]

Paul,

I realize that defining a model for movements/selections inside
mathematical environment is complex and there could be different more or
less equivalently good solutions.
This is job for the developers, if they consider this worth of. Maybe
between the many different solutions they could simply choose the one which
is easier to implement.

In any case, to me it is highly desirable a consistent behavior. Above all,
in my opinion, this means the fact that the shifted version of a
combination should select the same elements over which you move with the
non shifted version. At present this is not the case and I find myself
doing and undoing selections.  Yes, I know: mainly my fault... yet this
doesn't happen to me while I am in a pure text paragraph.

This seems to me a good model. It leaves space for a couple of bindings:
ctrl-page up/page down and ctrl-up/down which could be, for example,
ctrl-page up/page down jumps to the start/end of the formula
ctrl-up/down something else to be decided

(or viceversa)

and similarly for the shifted version.

Fwd: Moving around

[Mario D]

Perhaps you can repost your example, between pre and /pre tags?
>
> Paul
>
>
Paul,

sorry you couldn't see the proper formatting. I repost the formula with the
tags inside the formula, so it should be clear

A \frac{1}{2} B  + C \left(1+1\right) D =  2.5 E

I can say that I have exactly the same behavior you describe, in any place.
In fact, I also use the cua bind, plus a bunch of personal bindings which,
however, are not related to moving actions.

It seems to me that there is some consensus about the fact that
moving/selecting could be improved.
Here is what I think. The guidelines should be as follows:

Moving:

left/right arrow: moves to the previous/next character
ctrl+arrow: moves to the previous/next word
ctrl+home/end: moves to the begging/end of the line
up/down arrow: moves to the previous/next line

Selecting:

shitf+arrow: selects from current position to the previous/next character
shift+ctrl+arrow: selects from current position to the previous/next word
shift+ctrl+home/end: selects from current position to the begging/end of
the line
shitf+up/down arrow: selects from current position to the previous/next line

This is actually what really happens when you are in a pure text paragraph.

The problem is how to interpret this inside a formula. I do realize that a
formula has a much more complex structure and syntax than a text paragraph,
yet what happens now is (to me) quite disconnected from what happens inside
a text paragraph and I get very confused when I select inside a formula.

My suggestion is as follows.

Let me put a few more tags:

A \frac{ AA 1 AB }{ 2 } B  + C \left( CA 1 CB + CD 1 CE \right) D =  2.5 E

Moving with (right) arrow is consistent: you go from A to AA then to AB or
from C to CA then to CB, CD and CE.

Selecting with arrows should be something close to this. That is, selecting
the smallest chunk of code possible.
At present, selecting with arrows has a complete different behavior
depending where you are:

- if you are in CA it selects CA-CB  (ok)
- if you are in C it selects C-D  (why? not ok for me)

Ctrl+arrow and shift+ctrl+arrow are inconsistent:
what happens now is that:
- if you are in CA with ctrl+right you go in CE  (ok)
- if you are in C with ctrl+right you go in E   (not ok)
and the same when selecting.
What I think it should happen is:
- if you are in CA with ctrl+right you go in CE  (ok)
- if you are in C with ctrl+right you go in D (a movement that I cannot
perform with any combination)
and when selecting:
- if you are in CA with shit+ctrl+right you select CA-CE  (ok)
- if you are in C with shift+ctrl+right you select C-D (that is, the same
action that at present is performed by shift+right)

Note also that at present Home and ctrl+right arrow behave _exactly_ the
same (and the same for the shifted version): this is a waste of resource in
my opinion and even a bit confusing.

I hope to have explained myself clearly (and not have bored you...)

Paul,

surely I do not demand to lyx to recognize addends in a formula like "y = x
+ 2z".
Maybe I can explain better myself with an example, so please let me write a
formula with a few markers for the cursor position.

Consider

  \frac{1}{2}  +  \left(1+1\right)  =  2.5

^   ^   ^^ ^
A  B  C   D E

Wherever I am, if I hit ctrl+right I am driven to E.
What I would like is that if I am in A I land in B and if I am in C I go to
D

Please note that if I hit shift+right and I am in A then all the A-B
portion of the formula is selected and similarly if I am in C with
shift+right I get C-D selected.
This means that lyx can recognize these chunks of code because, as you
said, lyx understands insets (or subenvironments, if you prefer).

What I have not been able to understand is which function I should bind to
ctrl+right so that this combination drives me from A to B or from C to D
instead of from everywhere to E

Incidentally, I also do not like very much the fact that if in A then
shift+right selects all the A-B portion of the formula: in my view, this
should be the behavior of
ctrl+shift+right, whereas shift+right should select only the very next
character (that is, the numerator if I am in A).

I wish I have explained better my question.
For completeness and reproducibility, I add that some of my current
bindings (the ones which seem relevant to me) are:

shift+right:  char-right-select
ctrl+right:  word-right
ctrl+shift+right: word-right-select

Thank you

Moving around

[Mario D]

Hi,

when I move around in a file I have a behavior which (to me) does not seem
consistent.
Please let me explain.
If I am inside a text portion of the file, arrows drive me to the close by
character, ctrl+arrows to the close by word, shift+arrows select close by
character and shift+ctrl+arrows select whole words.

Fine.

What I can't get used to is what happens when I am inside a (big) formula.
Namely, if I use ctrl+arrow I go to to the end (or beginning, depending the
arrow) of the formula, which is the same that I get using the Home/End
keys.
On the contrary, with ctrl+arrow I would like to be driven to the
end/beginning of current logical element, that is the same place where the
cursor would be if I hit shift+arrow.

So, my question is: can it be changed?
I tried to change some setting in keyboard shortcuts, but without luck.
Maybe I could not figure out the right one.

Thank you

How to change the language of the tutorials?

[Mario Castelán Castro]

Hello.

After compiling LyX in GNU/Linux I launch LyX with “env LANG= 
PATH_TO_LYX” (note the empty “LANG” parameter) because my system is 
configured with Spanish as as the default language, but I want to run 
LyX in English. The interface is is English, but the included 
documentation (introduction, tutorial, etcetera) are in Spanish. How can 
I launch, configure or re-compile LyX so that everything is in English.


Regards and thanks.

underscore issue

[mario chiari]

Hi

I have the following issue 
(my guess is that it is a LaTeX issue, still help is welcome)

I have defined a command \qu :
\global\long\def\qu#1#2#3{\begin{quote} ``{#1}'' (\cite[pg.#2]{#3})
\end{quote}}.

For something like \qu{text}{12}{Writer_A}, when I try to pdflatex I get
the error msg:
---
{text}{12}{Writer\_A}
The control sequence marked to be read again should
not appear between \csname and \endcsname.
---

However I may insert  \cite[12]{Writer_A} and compile without any
trouble.

Is there a way out, if I try to keep my citations with '_'?

Thankd

Re: numbers of figures

[Mario Crespo]

You can just go to the document configuration menu and select the right 
modules. 
I can't tell you the exact text because I use lyx in spanish, but it should be 
something like:
Document - Document options
Modules
Number figures in sections

Using that LyX will do everything and you won't need to write anything in the 
preamble.

Nope, it does not work even  with the \label within the \caption.

I copyaste my entire file below.
I tried to export and latex the .tex file. I get the same error, but the
final .dvi file is fine.
With pdflatex, the final .pdf file is fine too, but I get more errors.
Lyx does not let me to compile, it just dies. 

I appreciate any further hint

 Do you get a better result with the \label within the \caption?
 

Re: lyx and hypcap

[mario chiari]

Dear Julien, All,

thanks for the reply.
Nope, it does not work even  with the \label within the \caption.

I copyaste my entire file below.
I tried to export and latex the .tex file. I get the same error, but the
final .dvi file is fine.
With pdflatex, the final .pdf file is fine too, but I get more errors.
Lyx does not let me to compile, it just dies. 

I appreciate any further hint
thanks, regards
mario

lyx and hypcap

[mario chiari]

Hi


I am trying to use captions defined thanks to \usepackage{hypcap}, as
you may see below.
I get the error
! Package hypcap Error: You have forgotten to use \caption.

Indeed I have not forgot it, and I am not sure what to try.
Note, lyx displays myfile.jpeg. 

Any hint is welcome.
Thanks, Regards
mario

It would be very nice to be able to convert that html output to something Latex

Question on biblatex

[mario]

Hello

although my question is not about lyx, I hope you my help me anyway.
(or maybe redirect me to the right forum).

In the biblatex tutorial 
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf
at pag. 168-169 the author offers a few hint on how to implement a nice
feature to produce internal links among records within a bibliography:  

[1] Audrey Author: Title of article. In: [2], pp. 134–165. 
[2] Edward Editor, ed.: Title of collection. Publisher: Location, 1995.


Since I am not a (La)TeX programmer, I would like very much to hack the
complete code from somewhere/somebody.

I am using 
\usepackage[style=numeric,hyperref=auto,defernums=true,annotation=true,library=true,sorting=nyt]{biblatex}

Thanks very much
regards
mario

Bibtex question. How do I insert scans of covers.

Hope it is clear.
Thanks a lot

 This is what the crossref field is for. Put the key of the other entry, 
 e.g.:
 
 @INCOLLECTION{HeckMay:FregesContribution,
author = {Richard Heck and Robert May},
title = {Frege's Contribution to Philosophy of Language},

I have a new question on bibtex/biblatex.

How do I do when a bibliographic item refers to another one:

[1] -- Author, Title, in [2]

[2]--  BlaBla, edited by Joe Doe


Hope it is clear.
Thanks a lot

 This probably won't work within LyX, as LyX would not copy the image  
 files to the temporary generation directory. However, with plain LaTeX  
 it might do the trick.

I get the following error:

 Yes but the lists of references is basically a list and if you include a 
 graphics at the end of an item of the list, LaTeX is going to do wild 
 things.
 
 You would need to redefine the bibliography environment to create some kind 
 of tabular where the reference is printed in one cell and the image in the 
 adjacent cell.
 
 It is possible (but some work) to do it with some tweaking of biblatex 

do you mean

 but 
 you must have some knowledge of LaTeX.

Maybe somebody has already done something I may hack.

Bibtex question. How do I insert scans of covers.

[mario]

hello

I have a general bibtex question. 
I know my question is not a lyx related question, but I am not able to
write to other list right now (Is there a bibtex related issues list?)

My question is: I would like to include scans of covers and selected
pages within my bibtex entrie (and final output), how do I do? 

I appreciate any advise
thanks
mario

 Personally, I use the BibTeX entry type misc for such cases.

yes, but  then how do you get the scan image in the final .dvi (or .pdf)
output?

 
 But maybe I misunderstand you. Images should not be part of the 
 bibliography list - I have never seen that in a published work.

I need for a report about the collection of books from a private
library.

biblatex, inputenc error

[Mario Paul]

Hi,

on an Ubuntu Linux 9.04 with Lyx 1.62 using document class koma-script 
article and biblatex I have the following problem:

- everything works fine as long as I _dont_ insert the \printbibliography 
command. 

- when I insert \printbibliography in lyx via ERT I get an (well known) 
inputenc error: Keyboard character used is undefined

- I checked my .bib-file (that is generated with synapsen) for any unusual 
characters, like a long -. I cant find any and I dont have any clue why that 
problem occurs.

I would be very glad, if someone helps me.

Thanks in advance
Mario

Problem with PSTricks an LYX

[Jorge Mario Garcia]

Good morning
My problem is:
I want to use the command

  \readdata{\funcion}{dtos2.txt}

 but LYX creates a temporary file where you saved the *. tex, the problem is
that my file dtos2.txt not is in the  same folder and lyx generates an
error.

I try to include it as an attachment, but LyX formats are already in place
and do not let me, and shows an error.

Can you help me?
