LyX ⇒ undefined control sequence \addto

[pooz]

Hi Stefan_K,

this might be a bit old, because I couldn´t get any help, unfortunately

I could not solve any problems, yet. The only difference is, I am trying to compile this template with TeXShop right now, but the first 2 errors are still the same. Hitting 2 times <enter> will continue compiling, but this doesn´t sound good to me

I would be glad, if we could solve this problem both in LyX and in TeXShop. But TeXShop only would be fine, too!

Thanks for any help

A quick look at this posting of the same topic and regarding the following posts:

• You are using \chapter* with the article class, it's not supporting chapters, a class like book or report is necessary.
• In order to use \arrayrulecolor you have to load the package colortbl or xcolor:

  Code: Select all

  \usepackage{colortbl}

  or

  Code: Select all

  \usepackage[table]{xcolor}

• The colors hsurot and hsugrau have to be defined before use.
• Package keyval Error: directivestyle undefined. seems to concern the listings package, but I need more information like the corresponding code.
• Package ifpdf Error - do you really need this package? I would get rid of it.
• Undefined control sequence. \addto There it seems that the babel backage has not been loaded.
• \start_of_appendix should belong to LyX, here's also more information needed.

Have a look at these points, we can discuss details further. Just post additional error messages together with the corresponding code, we will have a look at it.

Thanks Stefan,

for your help.
Due to trying to use the same template in 2 different programs (LyX and TeXShop), I suggest solving my problem fist only for TeXShop.

TeXShop only produces the first 2 errors of this post e.g
( 1.) Package keyval Error: directivestyle undefined, 2.) Package ifpdf Error)

To error Nr.1)
When pressing "go to error" the cursor jumps to the curly brace '}' in the last line.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{listings}

\lstloadlanguages{}

\lstloadlanguages{C,C++,Java,Matlab,HTML,TeX,XML}


%\lstset{}% restore default

				framerule=1pt, %Rahmenbreite
				tabsize=4, %Anzahl der Zeichen f¸r ein TAB

				columns=fixed, %Zeichenabstand (fixed | flexible | fullflexible)
				lineskip=0pt, %Zeilenabstand
				basicstyle=\ttfamily,%\ttfamily,

        commentstyle=\color{darkgreen},
        stringstyle=\color{viola},
        keywordstyle=\color{darkblue},
				ndkeywordstyle=\color{black},
				directivestyle=,
				showspaces=false,
				showtabs=false,
				numbers=none, %Zeilennummern (none|left|right)
				%numbertype=\ttfamily,
				breaklines=true,
        captionpos=b,
        extendedchars=false
}

To error Nr.2)
I don´t know what this package is used for. It is written in the template the institute of the university gave to me and which all other students should use also. Maybe I can ask them, what I need them for?

In the case, it has to be used, what might be the error there?
Thank you!

1) just remove the line

Code: Select all

directivestyle=,

if you don't need this style. It's available for certain languages only.

2) perhaps just remove the line

Code: Select all

\usepackage{ifpdf}

or post the class file as attachment here to examine it.

Thank you!

1.) it determines the style of language directives, if existent. Just look for directives in the listings manual, type texdoc listings or look on CTAN.

2.) the definition of \ifpdf clashes with the ifpdf package. Remove the code you don't need, you probably know if you want to produce pdf or dvi. A workaround could be to disable \ifpdf like

Code: Select all

\ifpdf % compiling with pdflatex
   \let\ifpdf\relax
   \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
   \DeclareGraphicsExtensions{.pdf, .png, .jpg}
...

1. Unfortunately I didn´t get the meaning of texdoc listings type, although I´ve understood the function of listings

2. "relax-Command" works.

To both: I don´t understand, why there are these errors in a template, created by an institute of a university. Is this an environment-problem, concerning that I am on OS X while the template was configured for Windows? Because I am not the first one unsing this template. Didn´t all the other students have these problems? *confused...

Thanks for your help, Stefan.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I assume the template has been working fine for some time, but though LaTeX is stable additional packages have been developed further. Previously used methods could become obsolete, conflicts may occur. Packages today using the ifpdf package internally could now conflict with older styles/classes using a self-defined \ifpdf before the ifpdf package came up.

Ok, thank you very much. I will later ask the creator, if this template is up-to-date.
And after all, I will try to import this template into LyX. I will import the main .tex file with LyX and give a feedback.

Greetings
