Herbert,

Yes, the PDF output has et al. citations and all authors in the
bibliography.

Because the LyX display does not reflect that is distracting; I spent the
past couple of days trying to fix it when I need to focus on writing the
index and implementing a different chapter heading look (which will wait
until the index is done.)

Best regards,

Since bibtex, natlib, and juralib have been deprecated would it be
reasonable to drop them from LyX? I've no idea how many LyX users run older
versions of TeXLive and supported these options.

Seeing, in the LyX document itself, both et al. and all three author names

I'm suitably embarassed by not checking all settings and seeing this. Mea

and then insert into documents->preferences->bibliography the options
maxcitenames=1,maxbibnames=99,uniquename=false,uniquelist=false

However, inside LyX it doesn't look right for the citation, but the pdf is

There are three sections in the Bibliography settings dialog box: Citation
Style (with an options box), Bibliography Style (without an options box),
and Bibliography Generation (with an options box). Are all the above options
entered in the Citation Style section?

Many thanks,

LyX itself uses the et.al. only for more than _three_ authors, which

Fixed this one. While the Settings dialog box showed the authoryear, it was
not in the list of authors. Scrolling down that list I clicked on that name
and the proper entry was loaded. The LyX and PDF files are correct.

However, ... there are still bibliography errors that can be seen in the
mwe.lyx file (attached, along with a mwe.bib containing two entries).

Creating the new file (KOMA-Sctipt book class), the bibliography setting is
stuck at bibtex, not biblatex. I need to fix this for the MWE and future new
docs. It also presents only bibtex citation styles, not the biblatex ones.

I need help setting biblatex as the default for all book and report docs and
having all multi-author docs (3 or more authors) display citations and
bibliography entrries as the first author + et al.

Now to read TLC3/II on biblatex.

Bibliographic citations citation style formatting

[Rich Shepard]

Running lyx-2.3.6.1 on Slackware64-14.2 linux.

When I push a multi-author bibliographic citation from JabRef-5.1 sometimes
it displays with all the author's names, sometimes with first author's name
and 'et al.' See attached image.

In both cases, looking at the Settings -> Citation Style -> formatting I'm
presented with variants of the displayed citation, and not both types.

I don't recall having this problem before. Looking at a couple of documents
with bibliographic citations, all multi-author citations are of the '... et
al.' type.

Here's a different one from a report written a couple of months ago. See
second attachment (citation-style.png). Notice that the citation is a pair
of question marks (and all variants of that are the only display options)
while the citation (Langless2000) is what should be displayed.

How can I clean up both of these documents so they properly display
citations?

There are two relevant document class options:

Used by itself, though, it leaves the equation number on the right.


* "leqno" (left equation number), which puts the equation number on the

BUT, if you use BOTH options, then you get what you want.

How to do it in LyX? Look at Document> Settings> Document Class. The 
"Custom" field allows you to enter class options. In your case, you 
could enter "fleqn,leqno". Any class options can be entered here.


However, LyX also has native support for this under Document> Settings> 
Math Options. The Formula Numbering Side option is self-explanatory. You 
would want "Left". This adds "leqno" behind the scenes. The other one is 
the Indent Formulas checkbox. The tooltip explains what it does: It 
indents instead of centering equations. So you can check that. If you 
leave it at "Default", then it just adds "fleqn"; you can also, however, 
control the indent here by selecting "Custom" and entering a length

Since all the code in the document is the same language I searched the

I entered
\lset{language=Python, Tabulator size=4}

This makes no difference.  I closed and re-opened lyx; this had no

Each block of program code still defaults to Language=None and

The small space character issue in the pdflatex output is associated with

Setting package defaults in the preamble will not register in the LyX

Good.

Now I find an error in the complied document that makes no sense.

In one code block are these lines:

PS: For future reference, a simple alternative to mucking around with

options in the settings dialog, then just copy the empty inset and paste

AFAIK, \lstset{} is the correct command. In order to use it in the 
preamble, you have to precede it with


\usepackage{listings}. LyX automatically inserts the use package command 
after the preamble, which means the \lstset command is undefined if you

\usepackage after the preamble, which seems to be harmless.)

Fixed. By re-setting all options to match those which worked properly on the

Bibliographic citation not allowing formatting

[Rich Shepard]

Running lyx-2.3.4.3-x86_64 on Slackware-14.2/x86_64.

I inserted the bibtex bibliography at the end of the document and a citation
from JabRef-5.1.dev. The bibliography style is APA, but when I try to format
the appearance of the citation in the text I am allowed only [#ID], Add to
biblography only, and Key only.

Prior lyx versions would show a selection of citation formats; e.g., (Author
date), (Author, date), Author (date). They ain't available to me now and I
don't know what I did to lose them. Same thing when the biblio style is
authordate3 which worked as expected in a recent document with an earlier
lyx version.

I've attached a mwe.lyx but without my entire 1.8M bibliographic database.

A cluestick is needed.

I hadn't encountered this issue (and another I need to resolve) when using

Indeed, this is determined by the Qt theme. The theme I use (Qt Adwaita)
has lines (and triangles, so it looks a bit like a mix of the above two).

Others will have to tell you how to switch the theme on Windows.

I'm an outline junkie, and after viewing your side-by-side outline
views, I strongly agree lines are better. Outlines are meant for quick
human comprehension: Lines accentuate that, lineless doesn't.

Of course, I could be called a hipocryt because the VimOutliner
software I originated doesn't have lines. But that decision was made
for simplicity's sake, and LyX long ago left the simplicity track.

I very much prefer the lines.

Formatting of Outline view: Intentional or side-effect of native themes?

[Klaus-Dieter Bauer]

Hello!

Before submitting an enhancement request, I wanted to ask if there already
*are* possibilities to customize how the outline view looks.

[image: lyx-tree.png]
(mirror for image: https://imgur.com/a/OFAVJCS)

I could imagine that there's some utility that allows changing the Qt theme
or something like that, but I wouldn't even know where to start looking.

I generally find tree-views with lines as visual guides vastly more useful
than the "modern" style of indicating the tree only by indication. My best
guess here is, that Qt choosed a style that mimicks the native style of
modern Windows, which I dislike in this particular case.

I'm certain others will prefer the "line-less" styles, but for me having
the lines would be very helpful in navigating large documents.

  There are three items: printed name, signature, and date. The \rule{}{}
macro is perfect for this. Spacing on the page using \vspace{} and \hspace{}
place each item appropriately.

Re: Formatting name/date to be filled by others

[Cris Fuhrman]

Hi Rich,

An alternative is to use a table. The labels (Name, Date, etc) are in cells
that have no borders, and the other parts are in cells with borders on the
bottom. Of course you have to play with widths of columns, but this
approach is more form-like and it's easier to perceive (WYSIWYM) in LyX
than ERTs that won't show till you view in PDF or whatever.

Cheers,

C. Fuhrman

I have also taken the liberty of (re)moving the change to "Executive

Eberhard,

  Made this change.


A Minimal Working Example helps, but I wouldput something like this
into the preamble:

\usepackage{lastpage}
\usepackage{scrpage2}
\clearscrheadfoot
\ohead{Page \thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}


  I did not have the \clearscrheadfoot command in the preamble.

  It's interesting that now (with a 3-page document) on pages 2 and 3 the
header reads Page 2of?? and Page 3of??. No spaces surrounding 'of' and
question marks rather than '3'.

  More research on my part is needed.

Thanks very much,

  The KOMA-script English manual, in Sections 5.1.2 and 5.1.3, describe
running headers and footers and their formatting. What I do not see is how
to integrate text with LaTeX commands.

  For example, this compiles:
\ohead{\thepage}

but if I want to have the outerhead read
\ohead{Page \thepage of \lastpage}
there's an error. I've tried various modifications of this unsuccessfully.
I'd appreciate a pointer to a doc that tells me how to format this and how
to split a header so it covers two lines.

Eberhard,

  Changed the class to Koma-Script article and both packages (scrheadings
and lastpage) are in the preamble. I set the page layout to 'plain.'

  When I try to preview the document (^x-p), an error box appears telling me
(twice) that cheader and cfooter are already defined in the document. If so
they are not visible or created by me.

  Any thoughts on what I've missed?

Eberhard,

  Yesterday I started a template using KOMA-Script Report; using the article
class does make more sense. I'll read about scrheadings in the class manual.

I then used pdfpages to import my (Eurpoass CV) without footers so the "Page 
# of # pages" works :-)-O


  That's a thought. I was going to use pdftk to concatenate the two, but
that has them paginated separately.

  Yep.

What you could use is the custom-bib package, a companion to natbib. It is a

Bibliography Formatting

[Rich Shepard]

  The natbib doc focuses on citation styles so I suppose that the
biblography style is controlled by bibTeX. I've not before modified bitTeX
and have no idea what or where to modify to produce the output I want.

  The bibliography has the publication year at the end of each listing. I
want it following the author(s) name(s). Please provide a pointer to a doc
that will teach me how to do this.

~Ben,

  Back when I was in grad school (and doing a post-doc) in the early Pleistocene
and publishing in journals the bibliographic style was Author. Year. Title.
Volume:pages. So, that's what I kept doing.

  I see now that the preferred style has apparently changed so that almost
all put the year at the end of the listing. Seems less than useful to me if
the citation is author-year, why not list the bibliography the same way?

  Anywho, it really is a very minor issue. After all, I don't read the
bibliographies in the white papers and other documents I produce for clients
and regulators that have a bibliography and citations in the text. :-) Since
it seems to be a hassle, I'll just let it go (again.)

typewriter font?  I already have the EnumItem module turned on and I'm using
KOMI Book (if that matters).

Any help appreciated!

EnumItem - Formatting Description Tags with Typewriter font

[uudruid74]

In my LyX Preamble, I have ...


\setlist{itemsep=0ex,parsep=1ex,leftmargin=0.25cm}
\setenumerate{itemsep=1ex,parsep=1ex}
\setitemize{itemsep=0ex,parsep=0ex,leftmargin=1cm}

How do I set the font for the item (not the item's description) to the
typewriter font?  I already have the EnumItem module turned on and I'm using
KOMI Book (if that matters).

Any help appreciated!

Remember that the commands in LaTeX are just macros, they collect any 
text and expand it where needed.


What you need is a command in the preamble of your LyX document of this 
kind:


\degree{Master of Science\\ \vspace{\baselineskip} in\\ 
\vspace{\baselineskip} Nuclear Engineering}



As I said, commands containing a @ have only been made for internal 
class use, they are not in user space.

Use  
Insert  Formatting  Vertical space instead of just adding empty lines.  
Then, VFill is a stretchable vertical space that could help you keep the

This would work if the cover page was actually written in LyX but instead it is 
defined in the class file.  I specify the degree type in the preamble .  I 
manage to remove the blank page being created but the way the degree is defined 
in the class I am not sure how to break it up.

      {
        \vss
        A \@thesistype ~submitted to the faculty of\\ 
        The University of Utah\\ 
        in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of
        \vss
      }
      \@degree \\

You can see the \@degree\\ simply takes what is written in the preamble and 
pastes in there as one line rather than “Master of Science” double space “In” 
double space “Nuclear Engineering”  I managed to get it formatted properly by 
adding the following in the class file after \@degree \\

 \@degree \\
  \mbox{} \\
  in \\
  \mbox{} \\
  Nuclear Engineering \\
  \mbox{} \\

I would like to make this a little more robust and allow for others to use the 
class file without having to edit it as much as I have.  In the preamble I 
specify the degree by entering after the \degree{} entry so I tried to add 
something like \degreein{} where someone can enter the information and replaced 
“Nuclear Engineering” in the class file with \@degreein but I get compile 
errors.  Is there a better way to go about this?

Re: Thesis formatting

[PhilipPirrip]

It's hard to guess what you're supposed to have without knowing anything 
about your latex class.
What's obvious from the excerpt you've given is that \@degree is meant 
to be an internal command of the class (because of the @). There must be 
some part of the class file that fills the \@degree command with user's 
data.


Where can we find the class file?

Re: Thesis formatting

[Benedict Holland]

Would you be willing to do this in ERT? I find that the first page, cover
page, etc. are notoriously difficult to get correctly specified in Lyx. The
ERT would be someting like
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/819/double-line-spacing

Also, it might be linebreak but I think it should be newline. Honestly, I
find that if I have to edit or modify class files and the like, I just find
a library to do it for me and write it up in latex. It seems to be much
easier that way.

\usepackage{setspace}
\begin{centering}
\doublespacing

Masters of Science \newline
in \newline
Nuclear Engineering \newline

\end{centering}

 I’m attaching the class file.  Starting at line 1351 is where I made my
 modifications.  I guess I don’t fully understand how to use the @ command.
  It sounds like I have to define it first earlier in the class file before
 I can add it to my preamble to be defined?
