I'm not sure exactly what happens and if there is platform-specific
behavior. To see the discussion I was referencing, see:

Can you confirm that Qt is overriding the SVG -> PNG conversion in LyX
2.2.3? This seems like a bug to me, for reasons that I pointed out here.
Not the end of the world, but 2.2.3 is a small step back for me if this is
something new.

Or it could be that the SVG files are different SVG versions. Qt has
problems with some (valid) SVG files and only supports a certain
implementation of the SVG fileformat.

Fully automatic (not to mention simple) may not be feasible. What if you 
have a zillion subitems under one main item (or a few really long 
subitems)? Theoretically, you could put LaTeX in a position where your 
subitem list exceeds a page length but it's not allowed to break up the 
list. So, while I'm not a LaTeX guru, my guess is that the best you'll 
be able to do with an "automatic" approach is to encourage, rather than 
force, LaTeX to break after a sublist rather than during (or at the 
start) of one.


I believe that's what the penalty options in the enumitem package are 
intended to do, and I believe that you can set global values for those 
penalties. So, if I'm right, you should just need to make two tweaks to 
the document. Add the enumitem module in the document modules list, and 
add a line of LaTeX code in the preamble setting your penalties. IF I'm 
right (and IF you can get it to work).


Good luck with it,
Paul

You can manually force page breaks (after the document is "finalized")

Skim as PDF-file-viewer on Mac

[jezZiFeR]

Hello,

I would like to use Skim on Mac (10.12.5) as a PDF-file-viewer for 
LuaTeX-Output, but it does not work for me.



• In Lyx LyX Version 2.2.3 I have entered the following:

Prefs / Output / General / PDF-Command:
/Applications/Skim.app/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/displayline $$n $$o $$t

Prefs / File Handling / File formats / PDF (LuaTeX)
Viewer setting / Custom / open -a Skim.app $$i i




• In Skim1.4.24 (98) I have entered

Prefs / Sync / Command:
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyxeditor
Arguments:
"%file" %line; /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "LyX" to activate‘
(before I have also tried with »output« / LyX, which also did not work)



Does anybody have an idea how I get it working?

Thanks
Jess

How to avoid breaking an item of enumerate?

[Paul Smith]

Dear All,

Suppose one has the following:

1. blablabla
   a) blablabla
   b) blablabla
2. blablabla
   a) blablabla
   b) blablabla

How to automatically avoid breaking the page in the middle of the
inner items? For instance:

Page 1

1. blablabla
   a) blablabla

Page 2

   b) blablabla
2. blablabla
   a) blablabla
   b) blablabla

In this example, the page break should be like the following:

Page 1

1. blablabla
   a) blablabla
   b) blablabla

Page 2

2. blablabla
   a) blablabla
   b) blablabla

Thanks in advance,

Paul

This is a perfect work-around:-), Thanks!


But, if LyX could fix the bug(As Gunter said), would be better.
