Re: background in branches, dark mode.

[Paolo M]

In branches, text background is black while math text background is gray,
the same as the background in the normal text.
I think text background in branches should be the same gray.

Re: How to underline and color hyperlinks?

[Jürgen Spitzmüller]

Am Sonntag, dem 29.09.2024 um 07:50 + schrieb Stef Pillaert:
> Taht's correct, but I want all hyperlinks be like that automatically.

You can do that with the following preamble code:

\usepackage{soul}
\usepackage{color}
\AddToHook{package/hyperref/after}{%
  \NewCommandCopy\myurl\url
  \RenewDocumentCommand\url{m}{\color{blue}\ul{\mbox{\myurl{#1
  \NewCommandCopy\myhref\href
 
\RenewDocumentCommand\href{mm}{\color{blue}\ul{\mbox{\myhref{#1}{#2
}

Note that the drawback is that the links won't be broken across lines.

Having underlined links that print out (as in Word) is simply not
implemented in many PDF viewers, as others have stressed. Personally I
also doubt its usability. In print, having ULRs italicized is much more
convenient (and also conventional).

Sure, since newpax does similar things to what is described in the
quotation for its predecessor, pax.

I was responding to Eberhard's suggestion that pdfpages might be
sufficient.

See texdoc newpax for why this isn't technically possible for many
links.

Also see the pdfpages manual which makes clear that:

"Links and other interactive features of PDF documents When including
pages of a PDF only the so called content stream of these pages is
copied but no links. Up to now there are no TeX-engines (pdfTeX, XeTeX,
...) available that can copy links or other interactive features of a
PDF document, too.
Thus, all kinds of links1 will get lost during inclusion. (Using
\includepdf, \includegraphics, or other low-level commands.)
However, there’s a glimmer of hope. Some links may be extracted and
later reinserted by a package called pax which can be downloaded from
CTAN [3]. Have a look at it!"

pdfpages is the package that is employed by Insert > File > External

Re: Can't input tables

This is Windows?

Try hitting Alt-R (the keyboard accelerator for the Row box) and see if 
that allows you to enter a number. It looks like the entry boxes are 
weirdly compressed, so it might be that you just can't see what's being 
entered.


There have also been reports on Windows of weirdness caused by the Qt 
theme being used. You might try switching the theme, and maybe even 
switching it back after that. I do not know how to do that, as I'm not

check the archives.

Re: LyX and newpax

[Stef Pillaert]

If I export my .lyx file from within LyX as a LaTeX(pdf) file (.tex), I can 
compile the latter succesfully with TeXworks, with all links functioning in the 
pdf file.
Does this confirm what you think?
(Or could it be that I use another "version" of MiKTeX for LyX and TeXworks, 
without me realizing that?)

My guess is that it's having to do with LyX using the tmp directory for
processing the files and mangling file names to have unique naming,
while the newpax files (which also aren't copied to the tmp) link to
files in the local working directory and to unmangled names.

Making this package work with LyX will presumable require a bit of
effort and maybe some extra scripts (but I think it's possible in
general)

Re: LyX and newpax

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Stef,

I do my PDFs with Insert -> File -> External Material.

If necessary I put a little ERT in front to it fits on the page
(Portrait vs Landscape), but that is not relevant here.

All links in the PDF continue to work.


However, I would start looking at translating the Powerpoints with
Pandoc into a format more useful in the LyX/LaTeX context.

And, in any case, I do my own presentations exclusively in Beamer (in
LyX)...

Re: Error message

That looks like a version of the errors I've been encountering for a while:

https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg11.html

The current best guess is that it's some problem with the installation,
possibly an older package you have that conflicts with whatever LyX is
doing. One thing to try is to temporarily move your texmf directory
(assuming you have one in your home folder) somewhere else and try to
compile the doc again.

Also, see if you can compile the Embedded Objects manual that comes with
LyX (click on Help>Embedded Objects).That's a file I cannot compile without
encountering multiple missing bracket and $ errors.

It really looks like a problem with your installation. Can you check

Re: How to underline and color hyperlinks?

[Maria Gouskova]

It depends on what the other settings are. When I put pdfborderstyle={U} in
that Extra Options menu, I do get underlining, as long as links are not
colored at the same time (that's in the basic options tab). You might have
to read the hyperref manual more closely to get the underlining to be the
right color to print, too.

What PDF reader are you using? I don't see underlining in one of my
readers, but I do see it in the other. The package's defaults make it a
pale turquoise color, which won't print well. BTW, the hyperref manual
mentions that PDF readers vary in whether they display some of the link
formatting.

Ubuntu maintainer of PPA upgrades is gone and no one else stood up to replace 
him.
Until someone volunteers the straightofrward way is gone.


If compiling is problem and you feel courageous you could try to mix
mint 22 repos with ubuntu noble (lyx 2.4.0 RC3) or ubuntu 24.10 (lyx 2.4.1), see

https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=426742

Mixing with debian backports might work as well, as ubuntu just uses debian's
packages without much tinkering, but untested.

In both cases there is mild chance to break your system if you don't
do it properly.

Note further that if you need this urgently earlier, you can achieve it
by editing the LyX file itself in a text editor. Look for

bibfiles ""

But only do this if you know what you are doing!

The colorlinks option disables link borders pretty late,
so you will need to enable them back in the begindocument
hook (or later).  Adding the line

\AtBeginDocument{\hypersetup{pdfborderstyle={/S/U/W 1}}}

to the preamble underlines the links, see the attached.

Stef,

You can underline hyperlinks like any text:
edit -> text style -> adjust -> underline

Re: preview after updates

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Phillipe has bee so kind as to forward me an MWE.

On my Mac M2 Sequoia 15.0 and LyX 2.4.2 (hot off the press :-)-O) it
fails to preview the PDFTricks example too, and shows the TiKZ one.

It compiles with LuaLaTeX to PDF but not with PDFLaTeX. Can that have
anything to do with the Preview?

Sure. Undoubtedly we have applied protection too wide in moving arg
context. I understand that caption needs to be excluded. My question
was whether the protection should be applied to the limited case of
\thanks (which I will probably do) or whether there are other cases
than \thanks to consider.

Dear community,
In a KOMA book, I include numerous graphics that I want to refer to 
with cross-references. As soon as I have established an index of 
figures, the numbers in the cross-references are no longer correct. 
They correspond to the outline number of the respective text section. 
The generated page number is also that of the index of figures, not 
that of the graphic.


Looks like a bug in LyX. It puts a \protect before a \label if it is 
inside a \caption.
This leads to a "multiply defined label"  problemwith the wrong figure 
number.

Put the label after the caption, means  _outside_ of it.  Then you need
to delete the auxiliary files or save, close and reopen the LyX file.

Re: Install from source, ouch

[Maria Gouskova]

Interesting, I'll try the Optional Sources thing. It was turned off on my
Mint 22 system, and that didn't prevent me from compiling LyX from source
on that.

I've also tried to install the .deb packages, but hit a Qt plugin bug when
trying to run LyX, even though I installed the lyx-common dependencies as
well. I'll keep digging.

Yes, your TeX installation looks corrupted. I guess the thing to try would be uninstalling it and then reinstalling. When doing that, you might try TeXLive, which is, in our experience, more stable.

Hello Maria.

I am seeing that LyX 2.4.1 is on Debian backports:

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm-backports/lyx

I don't know whether you can use Debian backports in Linux Mint. If I
use Linux Minut, than I would use the Debian edition to have greater
compatibility with the Debian repositories.

I also work writing papers. Compiling software is not option for me.

Best regards.
Manuel.

This is good information. I've enjoyed the black on beige yellow since
the 1990's, back in the days when LyX used xforms. So when I get LyX
2.4 from my Void Linux distro, I'll change the user interface style to
"windowsvista".

Re: Background color

[A-Imam Al-Sammak]

Hi
Hope this answers your question

Lyx 2.4 comes with "dark theme" as default, which I did not like as it is
not nice as it does not display graphs clearly. I like the LyX 2.3 theme,
so to change it, in the preferences > Look and feel > user interface > user

I thought the OP was referring to the dialog box for adding a bibliography
(a .bib file).
(menu: Add / List/Content/References). When choosing Add Local, a
file-browser menu opens,
and when entering a relative path (e.g. ..\folderA\newbib.bib), LyX accepts
this but changes it to an
absolute path (e.g. C:\Papers\folderA\newbib.bib).
The OP also noted that this full-path entry cannot be edited and so cannot
be changed back to a relative path.

Wow!!

Thanks a lot for the tip - it opens a new door in the Lyx's exploration
land. I did two >400p books in the paste using LYX/LaTeX, but realising
how little I know about it. Moreover, it becomes more and more
featureful, so I'm glad deciding to choose it for my main non-coding
driver.

You can redefine the key bindings to do this. Just assign, in this case, 
"unicode-insert 2648" to whatever key you want. (The codepoint is given

When adding a subdocument, you may still give a relative path by typing its
location
explicitly in the box at the top of the Subdocument window appearing after
clicking
Insert / List .. / Subdocument. You can also edit the location after the
subdocument has
been included in the usual way by browsing.

This is indeed annoying. When the file is local, you might solve this by
creating a hard link
to the file in the other directory. On Windows this can be done with the
command mklink /H  ; e.g.
mklink /H bg.bib "..\other folder\bg.bib"
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-com
mands/mklink). But I don't know
whether MacOS is able to follow this link.

You can also go to Edit -> Manage Counter Values...

the GUI and the PDF will be synchronized.

There's no general answer to this. Different packages have different

already supported through LyX modules, which are selected under

supporting it will involve different things depending upon what it does.

Hallo everybody,

1. I want to write down the set of positiv real numbers including 
zero, which is in mathematical language an R with a superscript (+) 
and a subscript (0). In Lyx I can write only a super- or a subscript, 
but not both. How can I write a super- and a subscript at once?


As Rich said, this is easy. Just type _ and then enter the subscript; 
then use the right arrow to exit the subscript. Then type ^ and enter 
the superscript. Note that you can get these from the toolbar, too.


Also, you can enter the usual math symbol for the reals: You can find it 
on the toolbar on the submenu headed by the upside down delta. Or you 
can enter: \mathbb (math blackboard), then space, then enter "R". Again, 
use the arrow keys to exit this environment.


2. I wrote a mathematical definition with a head-line "Difinition of 
xxx", followed by the correponding text. I could also generate a box 
around my definition. Now I want to draw a line in my box which 
separates my head-line from the text. What should I do?


It would help to see an example file that does the part you can do.

Using math mode you can select a format that allows you to insert both sub-

While I don't know what a 'paket' is, ERT is an unfortunate historical term
(Evil Red Text) for inserting LaTeX in the LyX document. On my hosts I use
Ctrl-l (control key + 'l') to open a box with a red outline (I don't
remember on which menu that's found). Start your LaTeX string with a
backslash. This is probably in one of the help manuals available on the help
menu.

It's helpful, in case someone else has the same issue. Even months 
later, and searches the list.


The key is to put a label inside the Subequation box but outside the 
math environment. Then put labels on individual lines the math 
environment.
Then you can reference either the whole subequation (e.g. 1) or 
individual lines (e.g. 1.1, 1.2, etc.).


I thought you had wanted there to be a visible number for the whole

The subequation stuff is a bit of a hack. Honestly, I don't know
how to
do this even in LaTeX; I suspect that LyX will not natively support
whatever the solution might be. Complex constructs sometimes have not
been implemented, just because no-one yet found a need.

Re: Numbering optimization problem overall and specific lines

[Alex Boche]

I did find a solution. [I wasn't sure of the etiquette as far as closing a
solved thread.]
The key is to put a label inside the Subequation box but outside the math
environment. Then put labels on individual lines the math environment.
Then you can reference either the whole subequation (e.g. 1) or individual
lines (e.g. 1.1, 1.2, etc.).

Hi Paul.

A couple of days after I posted the original issue, I found that changing
the input method (using a Slackware script called imconfig), from 'none'
to 'ibus', and doing a logout/login cycle, composition started working
again. 

I haven't had the time yet to test the third option (Fcitx5) yet, which
might also work. Over all the years (>25 years) I've been using Linux,
I never touched the IM. I wonder it was originally 'none' or if some
program changed it. Composing has always worked well.

Anyway, if anyone encounters issues with Composing, check 'imconfig'
(which in other distros seems to be called im-config). 'ibus', I
noticed, also shows that the composing is 'underway', first confirming
that the Compose key was pressed, and then each part. And does this in
text and in graphics mode.

Cheers,

John

Hi guys...

I'm hoping your collective knowledge helps me out.

I'm not a frequent LyX user (2.3.6.1) but when I had to edit a document
with accented characters (á, é, ... and ñ's) this doesn't seem to work
anymore. As you can see, in the mail program it _does_ work.

Also, I'm quite sure this worked before. When I type Win + ' + a, I get 'a
on the screen.

I have a suspicion that the problem comes from Qt5.15. Most of  my applications
are Gtk based and work fine. I am still running X11.

It's not a UTF-8 problem - I can still copy&paste from other texts into LyX.

I tried to redefine the Compose key onto the CapsLock - no change. Gtk works,
Qt doesn't.

Anyone know what could have happened?

LibreCAD - Qt5.15 based - exhibits the same problem.

Re: LyX and font caching

[Michael Dean Pugh]

Hello, José,

I am using 2.4 on Windows 11. I am not using equation preview, but I have 
created LyX math macros for some of the new symbols that use Insert -> special 
characters to indicate these symbols in the LyX UI, which may involve the same 
underlying technology. I don’t know what font those symbols are coming from 
(this was actually the topic of a question I asked in this forum a couple of 
weeks ago), but they’re not coming from mine (nor did I expect them to, 
although it would be nice to have more control over the fonts used for symbols 
in the user interface). To be clear, since there was confusion the last time, 
the user interface is using glyphs from some font that you guys chose, I guess, 
though I don’t know what it is, but glyphs from my font show up in the compiled 
document as expected. Updates to my font are not reflected in the LyX document 
and are when compiled in plain LaTeX. And, like I said, I can delete the font 
and LyX doesn’t even notice.

Thanks, again,
Mike Pugh

I see. Anyway, it’s no showstopper. LyX already supports the most useful LaTex 
constructs and there often seems to be some workaround when it doesn't.

LyX simply doesn't support this. It would be possible but would take

then backslash followed by {, to get the argument (LyX treats just { as

Re: eps file

[Patrick Dupre via lyx-users]

OK,

I am sorry, I just cannot reproduce the crashes of lyx.
Actually, the issue came from that fact that my eps.gz file was not visible 
under lyx
(it was OK with gv). Hence, I tried to edit the BoundingBox in the eps file.
But doing so my eps.gz generator erased the .eps because I used gzip.
generating a correct eps.gz file allows running properly lyx.

Thank for the comments.
Thank to the lyx managers.

Parsing latex math into math environment works normally for me, but I might not
undertand your exact steps (what's exactly in the clipboard?, which way you

I think that you are referring to math (instant) preview.

I have a similar setup (the only difference is that I am using what it
will be Fedora 41). I will look into this still this month, hopefully
before 2.4.2 is released.

Sometimes the preview works and others it does not. I need to look
carefully on what is going on.
