a box around text on multiple pages
Hi all! I've been looking for information about how to draw a frame/set a background colour for a groups of paragraphs that split into multiple pages. I've read chapter 5 of the Embedded Objects manual where I was not able to find the answer and found this in LaTeX Community... http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5t=2577start=0st=0sk=tsd=a This link refers to http://www.ctan.org/pkg/framed. Please, is there any way of getting a frame splitting into several pages by using LyX graphic UI or must I go into details and first of all understand how to load and use this LaTeX framed package? Thanks! All the best, Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez CTO eBioTIC. Life Sciences, Data Modeling and Information Management Systems

ubuntu and greek
Hello,
i am relatively new in Lyx. In fact, i 'm using it about a couple of months
and i am fully satisfied. I recently switched from win to Ubuntu and i 'm
facing this problem: when i type something in greek and i try to view it in
any form (eg pdf) i get a message: latex errors and below
\textgreek{ghh}
I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\fontsame font id=substitute font name'
So, i guess that i need to install an appropriate package or... Anyway, i ll
be happy and gratefull if you can help me with this
Thanks

In the generated LaTeX file containing the actual text of the statutes,

\refstepcounter{para}%

Can you send me a LyX file in a private message to see how you've done this in LyX? Maybe I can

What I read in the Embedded Objects manual is: Parboxes are very similar to minipages with the difference that they cannot have footnotes.

This is indeed horrible (and I'm the author of this). You can ignore the last sentence and I will have a look to make the difference more clear to new LyX users. Please, why I can edit the text in a parbox as any other text and the one in a Minipage, not? You can in both cases edit the text like any other text. I only propose to use a parbox here because minipages make in some special cases problems (when other LaTeX-packages don't support them). But these cases are very rare, so it's your decision what inner box you are using. Sorry that I bothered you with LaTeX internals. Now I am able to set the paragraph settings for each box in a per box basis. Please, is it possible to set this features document wide? Thanks! Not via LyX. You can either copy a box as you like it to all places in your LyX document. Another solution is to defined a new command that sets up the box for you. Then you would have to insert this command as TeX-code instead of a box. I can define such a command for you, but you need to decide what box you want to have. If you made this decision, send me a LyX file with your box and I'll have a look. regards Uwe

bug in lyx-HTML conversion via tth
I wrote to the author of tth:
Anyway, I wanted to alert you to a potential bug. When I use lyx's
hyperef feature to make a hyperlink (as opposed to embedding a URL,
where the text is the same as the href target), it generates a .tex
file that contains a line like this:
\usepackage[unicode=true, pdfusetitle,
bookmarks=true,bookmarksnumbered=false,bookmarksopen=false,
breaklinks=false,pdfborder={0 0 1},backref=false,colorlinks=false]
{hyperref}
When I run it through tth, it creates a title tag of hyperref.
He responded:
Hello. Thanks for this message. The problem is with the way Lyx is laying
out its \usepackage command. TtH knows nothing about \usepackage. It treats
it as an unknown command.
http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/manual/sec9.html#commands+unknown93
explains that such commands ought to be laid out _without_ whitespace
between themselves and their arguments. Because Lyx is inserting whitespace
before {hyperref}, TtH scans it as if it is the start of the text.
The only way to fix this properly is for Lyx to avoid adding that extra
whitespace between ] and {. No space or newline is allowed. You could fix
it by hand in the .tex file yourself; but that's a bit annoying.
