Q: lyx, not all citation shown when citing (JabRef)

I am using a template for lyx, which supports the use of JabRef. My first sources work well. I have my data and can cite in lyx via "Insert->citation...". Now I have the problem, that my newest citations are not available in the list, that is shown when I want to insert a citation in lyx. I chec...

I honestly think that question should be closed as it isn't helpful to anybody.

@Johannes_B VtC as unclear

@ChristianHupfer Again, i don't hear a ping.

Christian Hupfer

@Johannes_B Blame the ~~society~~ TeX.SX for that ;-)

@ChristianHupfer The radio station live stream interface thingie doesn't let me change the volume.

Christian Hupfer

@Johannes_B Don't use the internet -- it's full of bad thingies ;-)

Any information about how equation decides between \abovedisplayshortskip and \abovedisplayskip? I know it is a h distance that it looks at, if large enough, the short one is used. But is that parameter configurable?

@daleif It's in the tex book (chapter 19). tex looks at the width of the previous line and records it in \predisplaysize and then more or less \abovedisplayskip is used if \predisplaysize + \displayindent would overlap.

\documentclass[12pt]{scrartcl}

\begin{document}
\abovedisplayskip=1cm
\abovedisplayshortskip=0cm

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
\[a\]


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
\[a\predisplaysize=0pt\]

\[a\]

\displayindent=-\linewidth

@UlrikeFischer thanks, was thinking to change the default setting

Maths advice: after n and m, what does one usually pick 'next' to represent an integer?

I guess I mean natural numbers ...

@JosephWright i,j

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle I wondered about those :-)

David Carlisle

@JosephWright well o isn't so good and p is usually prime, so if you know you need more than 2, better to start earlier and use ijklmn which is exactly the default integer names in Fortran :-)

egreg

@JosephWright m,n,p,q,r

Joseph Wright

@egreg That was my other choice: comes down to either p or l I suppose (I want to start at n as it's the convention)

Not a big thing: just tidying up some slides for work

There were more important things to alter: I'd inherited them from someone else and some parts of the chemistry were suspect

@JosephWright In physics \alpha, \beta,\gamma are also valid if 0 is allowed as 'natural' number. This occurs in 4-dimensional space - time Lorentz vectors or tensor indices

Joseph Wright

@ChristianHupfer I'm not doing anything so complex :-)

Christian Hupfer

@JosephWright Booooooooooooo! ;-)

Joseph Wright

@ChristianHupfer Just showing variable length in some molecules: normally n is enough, but I've got sub-parts ...

Christian Hupfer

@JosephWright: You shall count to three and only to three ;-)

@JosephWright With length you mean the number of atoms then?

Joseph Wright

@ChristianHupfer Yes

@ChristianHupfer Broadly: number of repeat units, so more than one atom in each :-)
