This is the seventh maintenance release in the 2.3.x series. We encourage all users to upgrade to this version. You can download LyX 2.3.7 from https://www.lyx.org/Download/. LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is released under a Free and Open Source Software license. LyX 2.3.7 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version more reliable and more stable. Since it has been quite a long time (for unsurprising reasons) since the last update, this one contains more fixes than usual. We have fixed a number of crashes. One important note: Recent versions of Mac OSX do not include a working version of Python. LyX needs this for proper functionality. See "https://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Mac#toc2 for information on how to install Python, if you need to do so. The most obvious sympton is that, on startup, LyX reports that it will have 'minimal functionality'. Another symptom is that images or previews do not display properly. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.3.6, please open a bug report at https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel lists.lyx.org) and ask. If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the documentation that comes with LyX (under the Help or Apple menu) and the LyX wiki, which is at https://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX users' list (lyx-users lists.lyx.org), where you will find an active community of people who are ready to help. We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.3.7.

Installing Lyx and Miktex2.9. for Windows 10
Dear lyx users, I need your help. Can you advise me on the best way to install these 2 programs and explain the error I get using the versions of Miktex2.9 and lyx 2.3.5 I have installed. I have downloaded basic-miktex-20.6.29-x64.exe and then run the basic miktex installer (64 bit) version. I have followed that by installing lyx 2.3.5 using the lyx basic installer for windows 7 and later. Before proceeding further there was a cautionary note saying I need to instal a Tex distribution. I assume that this would be satisfied if have installed Miktex correctly. I then followed the wizard installation 2.3.52. I missed the start menu request as I don’t know what choice to make. I have a problem when I get to latex distribution, because there is a reference to the file latex.exe and request for its path. I have ticked ‘Dont use latex’ and then ticked instal. Running the installed version of lyx I get a the message ‘the exernal program pplatex finished with an error’. It is recommended that I fix the erro in the xternal progam. Very helpful? Can anyone help me out.

Re: LyX 2.3.5.2 Relesed
This recent version has screwed me up. It offers no real advantages and annoyingly won’t allow spaces in file names as part of the file location. The 2.1 version allows it. Bloody nuisance and for what possible reason. I also use palatino fonts which I find very attractive only to find they are no longer available. So can anyone tell me how I can incorporate these fonts. Why on earth did the lyx developers drop it?

This is CLEARLY shown in the error messages produced by LyX(LaTeX).
There are typing errors in the reference. Ruuning a spelling checker
would have probably picked the cause of the issue up, by the way.
There are leading spaces within {}.
Generally it looks untidy, if only for hyphenated titles, not something
I would send out when asking for help.
BTW, not everybody is impressed by spaces in file names.
And what is really irritating, not only is this not a MWE, but if you
had bothered to construct one, by removing everything but the offending
item (ie reference in the BIB file) you would have seen this yourself.

When I compile your MWE, I get both references printed, but the second
reference is garbled and causes a warning message in the LaTeX log. It appears
that the citation was copied from a PDF file and pasted into the BibTeX
database (either directly or through a program such as JabRef). If you open the
.bib database in a plain text editor and cursor through the title of the Tian &
Ahmad paper, you'll see that the first two letters of "flows" count as one
character (due to kerning in the PDF file). Similarly, the two f's in
"different" are actually one character.
There's probably a smarter way to fix it, but all else failing you can run
through the database and retype anything that generates a complaint in the
LaTeX log.
Paul
Same here, on MS-Windows with MikTeX. As an alternative to Paul's suggestion,
you might set the language coding to utf8 (in LyX: Document / Settings /
Language / other)

When I compile your MWE, I get both references printed, but the second
reference is garbled and causes a warning message in the LaTeX log. It appears
that the citation was copied from a PDF file and pasted into the BibTeX
database (either directly or through a program such as JabRef). If you open the
.bib database in a plain text editor and cursor through the title of the Tian &
Ahmad paper, you'll see that the first two letters of "flows" count as one
character (due to kerning in the PDF file). Similarly, the two f's in
"different" are actually one character.
There's probably a smarter way to fix it, but all else failing you can run
through the database and retype anything that generates a complaint in the
LaTeX log.

Same here, on MS-Windows with MikTeX. As an alternative to Paul's suggestion,
you might set the language coding to utf8 (in LyX: Document / Settings /
Language / other)

Subject: Intermediate .tex file during 'Convert' differs from manual
export,causes problems
Hi all,
during creation of a Markdown converter in LyX I noticed some behavior,
which messes up the final output.
- created a new File Format 'Markdown' (as 'Document format' and 'With
TeX fonts:' = 'PDF (XeTex)' <-- side note: using 'PDF (pdflatex)'
would result in UTF-8 encoding errors during later conversion with
pandoc error "pandoc: Cannot decode byte…")
- created a new Converter Definition 'LaTeX (XeTeX) -> Markdown', with
converter command 'pandoc --wrap=none -f latex -t markdown -o $$o $$i'
(results below are also the same when using 'LaTeX (plain) ->
Markdown' as Converter)
- used this converter to export as Markdown
This basically works, and when I have an algorithm included in the LyX
file, the export still finishes, but has a fault in the output.
The intermediate .tex temp file created by LyX, during exporting to
markdown, has the two lines
--
\begin{lstlisting}%
[language=Python]
--
which in the final markdown file look like
--
%
[language=Python]
--
This causes problems when people receiving the Markdown file then try
to convert them to PDF, as the code is like that not correctly rendered
as program code.
When manually exporting the .lyx as 'PDF (XeTex)' the resulting file
does not have the problem, the output is one line
--
\begin{lstlisting}[language=Python]
--
which in the markdown file (generated using same command as in my new
LyX Converter: "pandoc --wrap=none -f latex -t markdown -o
"minimal-example.md" "minimal-example.tex") results in the correct
output, which gets handled as code:
--
``` {.python language="Python"}
--
This is Lyx 2.3.2 on Debian Linux and I would be happy if someone could
tell me how to get this generator running with the expected output of
algorithms.
[Attached example files, hoping the file names are self-explanatory]
TYVM,
Alexander

RE: Intermediate .tex file during 'Convert' differs from manualexport, causes problems
Thankyou for the feedback but it just sounds like a dialogue between Alexand
and Jurgen. I am not sure but are you are referring to something within the
software of Lyx and therefore a bug. From what you are saying its with a temp
file that’s created during the conversion. So can you explain why this error is
occurring now and not before. What do you suggest I do? Is it a bug that’s just
appeared in the lyx I have installed and not generally the case. So maybe you
would suggest reinstalling lyx 2.2 or the most recnt version. Grateful for you
feedback
Regards
Mike

Thx for first suggestions, but isn't the real point, that LyX does
different .tex exports, depending on if it is an intermediate temporary
file, or manually done?
Shouldn't it be always the same, or shouldn't there at least be a
possibility to force the one or other option?
Working around (IMHO) weird LyX behavior with additional scripts does
not really sound like the way to achieve the normal result, in my view…
If I only new at least which kind of .tex export mode LyX uses for
intermediate files, I would at least know where to try more tuning of
its behavior.

Please compare to https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/KeyboardShortcuts#StandardKeybindings where it says "You can use the script LyxBindings <https://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/LyxBindings> to generate your own documentats describing for your configuration of keyboard shortcuts. Some users experience the complete loss of every bindings after changes. In that case, a .bind file needs to be reselected in the menu (Tools/Preferences/Editing/Shortcuts/Browse). /The cua.bind file is the basic one./" Any further help would be greatly appreciated. Best Mike So to summarize: 1. Is cua.bind really the default? 2. Why does C-x give "command disabled"? 3. Will loading cua.bind blow away any pre-existing default LyX shortcuts? Ok now I'm really confused. LyX shows the C-x i binding but cua.bind doesn't. But as least C-c works. Have I messed up by defining C-x i when C-x means "cut". In that case what prefix can I use (in Emacs terms) to define my own extended shortcuts? But how can I have messed up when cua.bind only shows C-x and no other C-x plus something bindings? At least there's a problem here between what LyX thinks the cua shortcuts are and what is actually in cua.bind. Mike -- I *AM* a unique and special snowflake

RE: Lyx to Latex to Lyx
Dear Lyx Users I have written a very large article in Lyx for publication in a scientific journal which will only accept the article as a latex file. Of course Lyx will generate a Latex file as well as a pdf file. I wanted to check that the Latex file is acceptable to Lyx. Unfortunately I get an error window Lyx insetP saying 'Unknown parameter name'. So what does that mean? Can anyone help. Most grateful. Does that mean I will encounter problems using the latex to produce pdf files direct. It would seem odd that Lyx wont read the latex file it produces! Regards Mike Reeks

Multipart Documents
Hi, I have a set of documents that together make up a book. I would like to make the set of documents (100 in all) into a template that can be used for writing other books. Could anyone tell me if the locations of the documents are relative or fixed please? Or do I need to re-establish a connection between the master document and the child documents in the new document based on the proposed template? Many thanks, Mike

My directory structure was similar to but not exactly matching the address of the target documents. Therefore, my workaround (feeling particularly brave) - given the large amount of documents - was to open the source documents (which contained all of the calls to the target documents) and did a 'Find and Replace/ Change All' with the correct directory address. Took no more than five minutes for 3 sets of documents totalling 300 in all. Mike

insert emf graphic
Hi
I have Word documents with embedded emf images that I would like to
insert in LyX documents. If I click on one in Word, copy and then
attempt to paste into Lyx a dialogue box comes up to save the image as
an emf file. Saving it results in a box in the LyX window which says,
for example,
pasted12.emf
Error loading file into memory
If I then try to LaTeX the document pdftex fails with the message below

Similarly, if I do InsertGraphics I get the same errors.
The resulting emf file loads perfectly into Paint for example.
Am I missing the metafile2eps converter or something else? I am using
LyX 2.0.6 on Windows 7 (64 bit).

printing
Hi Even though I am an old LaTeX user (but a new LyX user) for my current purposes I would like to be able to print in a format very similar to what I see on the screen in LyX. I do realise that LyX is not intended to be wysiwyg but what I see on the screen (some basic text and mathematics and nested itemised lists) is just about perfect for what I need if I could just figure out how to print it so that the printouts look like what I see on the screen. I have tried various export formats (although obviously not all of them) and the one that is closest to what I'm talking about is LyXHTML but even that is pretty far removed from what I see on the screen.

Weird template request
I have Lyx 2.0.6 on Mac Lion 10.8. I am using Lyx to author novels. My problem is: When I open a Lyx document that has been saved previously, receive the following message: The document /Users/mike/Documents/Books in Production/Templates/Lyx Novel Layout Template/Front Matter/Front Matter.lyx does not yet exist. Do you want to create a new document? If I create a new document then , when I save the document and close it, the next time I open it I receive the same message. However, if I choose not to create a template then, after pressing the 'cancel' button around fifty times, then the document opens without a template. If I then close Lyx I receive a message telling me the document was not saved and that it has been saved in a 'emergency' format. I can't find anything in my document settings or in the program preferences that point to a template file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

search and replace button moves
Hallo, Lyx-Users, I had several times a problem with the advanced search and replace function. I don't know why (perhaps because the cursor is sometimes in a math environment) but the sidebar where I can click Search, Replace and Replace all sometimes moves up and down (the buttons don't rest at one place). I wanted to replace a letter (T in math mode) by another letter (S), but not at all places. So I searched through my document. I don't want to look after every click if the mouse cursor is still on the search button. So because of the moves of the buttons I accidently clicked the Replace all button. Unfortunately Lyx replaced a few hundred letters, most of them, where I didn't want to. I couldn't get them all back by CTRL+Z, so I decided to work on with my last saved version. Is it possible to use shortcuts within advanced Search and replace mode to make the searches so that I don't have to click? Thanks a lot for every help! Mike

"search and replace button" moves
Hallo, Lyx-Users, I had several times a problem with the advanced "search and replace" function. I don't know why (perhaps because the cursor is sometimes in a math environment) but the sidebar where I can click "Search", "Replace" and "Replace all" sometimes moves up and down (the buttons don't rest at one place).

Re: Lyx crashes during compiling
Hi,
I'm sorry, but I don't want to paste it here: It's my unfinished diploma
thesis.
The crashes were with advanced search. I searched a \rho^*. One of it was
found and the others weren't. But when I saw the source code I realized
that there was once a \rho{}^* (or something similar) and the others were
like \rho_5^*.
So I understand why it didn't find my \rho's but I don't know why it took
such a long time.
I finally solved the problem by installing the last system it worked fine:
That was Lubuntu 11.10 with Lyx 2.0.0 and that works very fine (searches
are faster and compiling did hardly no crashes). Perhaps it's sometimes
better to use older versions.
Thanks for your help!

Lyx crashes during compiling
Hi everybody, I installed Lyx on a new machine (because my old laptop had an display error). But unfortunately If I use the search and replace-function Lyx sometimes runs forever even if the next hit would be in the next line. Sometimes the compiling crashes, too. I think it is not even possible to stop the searching. (This is especially a problem because I have to finish my diploma thesis in two weeks.) I use a 2*1,5 GHz, 1.8 GB RAM on a Lubuntu 12.04. Greeds, Mike.

I think it is not even possible to stop the searching. (This is especially a problem because I have to finish my diploma thesis in two weeks.) I use a 2*1,5 GHz, 1.8 GB RAM on a Lubuntu 12.04. Greeds, Mike.
Stop Lyx compiling
Hi, Lyx-Users, is there a possibility to stop Lyx when it is compiling. Today I had several times the problem that I wanted to make a picture with tikz and made some mistake in the Lyx-Code (forgot the semicolon in the end of a command). Unfortunately Lyx doesn't return a message that there is a mistake and is compiling forever. I can not even stop the program after that. As I remember Kile was also not able to stop the compiling of such a program, but there is a button to stop the compiling. Can I stop Lyx when it is compiling? I didn't find anything inside the tutorials about that theme. And google seems not to find anything, too. Thanks! Mike

Utter newbie with LyX 1.5.2 cannot find View::DVI
12 Jan 2012 I installed LyX 1.5.2 about an hour ago, onto my Lenovo ThinkPad x61S Windows Seven; full package went in smoothly. Running the Tutorial: Section 2.1.1 --- 1. Open a new file with File::New: worked great 2. Type a sentence: worked great 3. Save your document with File::SaveAs: worked great 4. Run LaTeX to create a dvi file with View::DVI ^^ no such thing in my installation. My View menu has no DVI menu item, it has only these: Open all Insets Close all insets View Source Update HTML Open Document PDF (dvipdfm) PDF (pdflatex) PDF (ps2pdf) Postscript Toolbars ...and some source file windows. Has the required DVI command moved elsewhere? Thanks in advance, Mike Lampton mlamp...@ssl.berkeley.edu

Re: Example inside presentation(beamer)-class
Hallo, everybody, I have solved my problem with the examples inside the beamer-class. Some modules (theorems) were activated and so Lyx didn't know which environment it should use. Thanks! Mike

Example inside presentation(beamer)-class
Hallo, everybody,
I don't know why, but I am not able to use the example-environment inside
the presentation (beamer)-class. I always get the error message
LaTeX Error: Command \example was already defined.
LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
Undefined control sequence.
I watched the .lyx-document with an editor but there was no example
defined. Here is my .lyx-document:

line break in math mode
Hi all,
I'm wondering how to make a line break in the discharged math mode. I tried
it with Strg+Enter but then there where 3 new boxes in the new line. It
looked like the eqnarray-environment-boxes and it didn't work fine:
It should look similar to this:
f(x)={z\in Z:there is an y\in Y and functions g,h\in F
such that g(x)=y and h(y)=z}
But at the moment (with Strg+Enter) it looks like
f(x)={z\in Z:there is an y\in Y and functions g,h\in
F
such that g(x)=y and h(y)=z}
Does anybody know how to do this.
Thanks!
