Re: threeparttablex with longtable

[John Kane]

Hi Tyler;
Could you upload a minimal example of the table. It is not clear to me
exactly how you are using the ERT.

Is the entire table in the ERT or are you using a LyX-type table with the
Insert commands in an ERT?

Thanks for these inputs. I have found that the 0.91 version of Inkscape
cuts off the data in the pdf and produces a multi page pdf from a single
page when exporting using PDF+Latex. This bug isn't present in 0.48 release
of Inkscape.

Yes. LyX has so-called external templates, they are documented in the 
Customization Manual. Unfortunately they are not so easy to understand if 
one is not used to theem, but there is already a template which does the 
equivalent of what you want for Xfig figures.

You can define an inkscape template without modifying the LyX source code. 
If you do, it would be nice if you could contribute it. If you do not want 
to have ago yourself, please file an enhancement request at 
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome (if none exists alreeady).

Does the normal threeparttable package work for you? Is it just a longtable
and threeparttablex-specific problem? If so, have you tried putting the
entire table in ERT? For this, there is a demo table in the threeparttablex
package. That's where I would start, then try to go to a lyx table with ERT
until it the source preview pane gives you about the same as it did with
pure ERT. A minimal example would also be useful as suggested by John.

This example is really good, and Anders' response was on the spot, but I
thought I'd take the opportunity to point out something that took me quite
a while to realize. When using the equation array environment (what happens
when you push ctrl+enter), the spacing around the equal sign is different
than what it is for a "display formula." This leads to a document that has
inconsistent spacing, which can be seen in this example. The spacing around
the equals sign in equation (1) is a lot less than the spacing around the
equals signs in the other equations. The solution is to use AMS
environments. Check the spacing produced in the attached document. I also
used \mathrm for multi-letter subscripts, which I would recommend. Finally,
you should check out the different reference types. I use the one with
parentheses to do equations.

I hope this helps.
