Will using the LyX > citation inset generate proper latex? I don't see any mention of this in the revtex user's guide. I don't see a problem with this. Revtex produces a .bib file from your footnotes and use the bibtex mechanism.

More interesting are these features, which would require changes in the LyX citation dialog (or use of ERT): - Multiple references in a single bibliography entry. - Prepending and/or appending text to a citation. - Online citation \onlinecite (this is not new in revtex 4.1, but maybe now is an opportunity to implement it in LyX) >* Port the LaTeX AIP sample to LyX and visually diff the generated PDFs >* Port the LaTeX APS sample to LyX and visually diff the generated PDFs This would indeed be a nice accomplishment. -- Julien

Try in the preamble:
\def\lovname{List of Videos}
This should be considered a bug in revtex 4.1 IMHO. Similar commands are
defined on line no 7088--7089 of revtex4-1.cls but \lovname is missing.

Re: REVTeX 4.1 layout: alpha
Hi lyx-users, I have created a new wiki page for this layout: http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Revtex4-1 Here I provide a link the layout file and list features to be tested and/or implemented. Thanks, Manoj
Re: REVTeX 4.1 layout: alpha
Hi Manolo, Thanks! I will attach the AIP sample (aipsamp.tex) that came with RevTeX 4.1, and my LyX port of that file (aipsamp-lyx.lyx) in a separate email to you (too big for this list). I'll also attach PDFs generated from aipsamp.tex and from aipsamp-lyx.lyx. It would help if you could port the APS sample that comes with revtex to lyx and compare the PDFs or DVIs generated from those. The easy part is in applying the layout. The time-consuming part is in copy-pasting the latex source and converting the tex markup into lyx equivalent. To speed this up see the last appendix that I created in aipsamp-lyx.lyx (how to use lyx with revtex). Latest RevTeX 4.1 can be downloaded from http://authors.aps.org/revtex4/ - they have already fixed a few bugs At present, I am experiencing trouble with the \listofvideos command. LyX properly inserts this command where I want it but my latex doesn't compile and therefore my DVI and PDF are not being generated. Let me know if you happen to see the same. If there is a bug we could file a report. The video environment is a new feature that they have just begun to support. If you have suggestions for improvement those would be welcome.

Re: REVTeX 4.1 layout: alpha
Hi, Manoj. I'll be happy to help you troubleshoot the layout. If you have LyX files that you want me to compile, or anything, let me know.
