Remember that this command restarts pagenumbering (it's what you want, I

to set the pagecounter with the setcounter command.

RE: Some observations and suggestions
1) I need ERT quite frequently. It would be cool to have a special box for latex code. I mean a box like the one for footnotes, which supports cut and paste and everything like normal text. Every text in this box should be automatically understood as red text, and if you close the box, your screen is clean (except of a small label). Of course that has nothing to do with functionality, it's just a way to hide ERT. This is in version 1.2. That's good news Yeah, really. Is it possible to give these boxes a name, that will be displayed in LyX only ? E.g. List of Listings for inserting the list of listings (\lstlistoflistings) included with listings.sty Christoph

BibTeX and URL's
Hi,
actually this isn't a real LyX question but is anybody out there, who knows
how to break long URL's within a BibTeX bibliography. I use the misc.
entry for documents from the internet and put the URL in the howpublished
field, eg.
howpublished = {Internet
\URL{http://www.very.long.url.de/with/many/subdirectories/and/a/long/named_h
tml_file.html}}
During the second run of LaTeX, LyX stops the compilation because of errors
that occured while LaTeX tries to break the long URL within the
bibliography. Even the insertion of spaces where linebreaks are possible
doesn't help.
So again my question:
How to make LyX/LaTeX/BibTeX to break long URL's over several lines in a
bibliography ?
Thanks in advance

float placement
Hello, I'm writing a glossary using the description environment. Now I've inserted a figure for such an entry and I need to have a caption for it, so I must put in a figure float. By doing so, the result I get is a figure placed at the end of my glossary after the last entry. (probably because of the description environment). So I would like to change the placement setup to h for this float only. The document wide placement setup for floats ist hbp = here, bottom, another page. As far as I can see, LyX adds this placement option to each figure entry while exporting to TeX. How can I tell LyX to place this float here ??? Christoph

RE: New column
Hi, When I append a new column to my existing table, LyX crashes. Anyone familiar with this situation? Yes. I have several tables and the effect also happens when you try to add a line to a table. For some reason this affects only some tables. Sometimes LyX crashes immediately, but sometimes it chrashes while you try to save your changes after you have added a column or a row to a table, regardless of what you have done after that. Of course the emergency save also chrashes and now you have either a backup of your LyX document or Anyway, the table GUI is the most faulty part of LyX I've ever seen. Christoph
RE: No c-return in longtable
Well actually to activate a input-field-change you just have to hit Enter after your input (I know this should be documented somewhere!) It would be great, if it would function in the same way for multicolumns. It's absolutely annoying when you try to edit text in the special format fields, because after each key pressed the cursor jumps to the end of the line. I think it will be fixed in version 1.2 ;-) Christoph

Chaptermark in headings without number
Hi,
I've configured my headings (fancy) to display a graphical logo of my
university an the current chapter. This works fine (thanks to Herbert's
Homepage), and I've inserted the assertion at the end of my document before
bibliography and index.
I've used Lyx's Chapter* template and added the entry to the TOC manually by
entering \addcontentsline
No problem so far. Now I'd like to have this chapter displayed in my
heading. Without entering \chaptermark{eidesstattliche Erklärung} the
previous chapter/appendix is shown in heading. By entering the above LaTeX
command it is displayed but with number of the previous chapter number in
front, e.g. the if the previous chapter was B. Quellen, the heading
appears as B. eidesstattliche Erklärung.
But Bibliography and Index appear as Literaturverzeichnis and Index. How
do _they_ do this ?

Hi, I want to make an index for my document. Now I have some index entries that contain german umlauts such as ä,ö,ü and I want them to be sorted like normal a,o,u.

This is running well and procduces the frame around the figure as I want,
but now I want LyX to do so with each figure automatically. But how can I
make it ?

RE: bibliographic references
If this means that I am using bibtex, I suppose I have to specify a bibtex database, but I am not aware of having created one. It just seems like a huge machinery to start for, say, 15 references.

You simply give the information for each book (@BOOK), technical report (@TECHREPORT) and so on...

I've decided to use BibTeX because it makes all the necessary formattings depending on your language to have a standard bibliography. You simply give the information for each book (@BOOK), technical report (@TECHREPORT) and so on... It isn't that difficult to create a database, because it's only a text file with a small number of keywords. Christoph
RE: LyX + WinME + MikTeX -- Still the problem in installation is there. Anyone would please help? Thanx
To extract ghostscript manually you must copy the gs-4.03.tar.gz to the c:\cygwin directory. After that type "tar -xvzf gs-4.03.tar.gz". This should extract the archive including the script "SetupGS403.sh". Now you can execute the script by typing ".\SetupGS403.sh". Now you will be asked for the fonts directory of an existing GS installation. Therefore you need an additional GhostScriptinstallation for WIndows (e.g. AFPL Ghostscript7.0 - http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/ ) -Original Message-From: Mostafa Modirrousta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Sunday, July 15, 2001 8:34 AMTo: LyX-Users (E-Mail)Subject: LyX + WinME + MikTeX -- Still the problem in installation is there.

I got it much sooner but had to come home to try your points. Here is the outcome. My installation of LyX dates back to yesterday :) so quite up-to-date. I got the required files for LyX, put them in a dir and ran setup(from cygwin) and asked it to install from that dir and it recognized the existence of all packages except GS403 ! Now, I did the same to see if it would change anything and it did not recognize anything to be installed! Does the setup check to see if those packages are already installed or not? Then I manually installed the GS as you said. Excuse me if I am not that good in BASH, but how do I run a shell script like: SetupGS403.sh ? I tried a few ways and it didn't run :( Anyway, the main problem is to follow. When I installed MikTeX a few weeks ago, their setup program was not complete or for some other reason it did not allow me to do a full install, well when I asked it to do so, it just didn't find any FTP from which I could download so I did a fairly full install :) To be sure that it was not the problem with my case, I reinstalled MikTeX 2.1 today which worked fine and it is now a full full installation. BUT, the main problem is still there! I open LyX, it seems to be all right, I import a LaTeX file, it creates its own lyx version out of it and then it is the conversion time. I ask it to convert to DVI, PS, whatever, and it says it is doing it and done and so on and so forth (if I manually do not create the DVI (out of LyX), it complains when I ask to export to PS, because no DVI is there but if it is there, it says done and STILL nothing is produced, no DVI, no PS, no PDF. I am really clueless because it does not complain at all and does not give me a hint of what is missing. At first, when the original configuration was there, it did not find windvi which is normal and I changed it to YAP and it did no more complaints but it could not do the conversion either case! When I ask to view the dvi that I produced outside LyX, it searches for it in: c:\cygwin\tmp\lyx_tmpdir766193766193\lyx_tmpbuf0\1.dvi and not in: c:\MyFiles\LyX\doc\1.dvi and when I ask to export to DVI, it creates an EMPTY file in the tmp dir, 1.tex.dep PART II: As for the styles, first of all, I've to say that there has never been a LOG file in LyX! I guess it should be there when I try to export a DVI but under no circumstances, a log file was created! I also copied all those STY files and ran the initexmf -u but nothing changed.

Colored multicolumns and fixed width
Hi,
I have several tables with multicolumns of fixed size.
Now I tried to colorize the columns at beginning of the table by entering
{\columncolor[gray]{0.8}}l|
into the Special multicolumn - Alignment field. From now on the values in
the Special multicolumn - Width field are ignored. But I need a fixed
width of 1.3cm. I tried the following:
{m{1.3cm}\columncolor[gray]{0.8}}l|
But this only writes m1.3cm to the text of the column. All other tries
resulted in LaTeX errors.
What must I insert to still get columns with predefined width.
Thanks in advance
Christoph

Try to open LyX from within a terminal of your X-server, so you can see the output produced by LyX. Possibly this will help determining the REAL reason...

RE: LyX + WinME + MikTeX
If you download all the necessary files from the LyX for Win32 page (including the ghostscript4.03 - version there) there should be no problem. You can extract ghostscript manually by copying gs-4.03.tar.gz to your Cygwin root directory and executing "tar -xvzf gs-4.03.tar.gz". Of course you need a Ghostscript - Version too for Windows (try Aladdin Ghostscript) After that you have to run the "SetupGS403.sh" from a shell within your X-Server or Cygwin. Then start LyX and exit. Now a "preferences" file is in your ".lyx" - Directory in your home directory. Insert the following line into the preferences file \ps_command "/apps/gs4.03/bin/gs" After that LyX should be able todisplay EPS files. For making or exporting dvi or ps you'll need to install the FULL MiKTeX 2.1 version. Otherwise there are several *.sty - files mising. You can download them from http://www.bestkevin.com/Download/various/sty/ After downloading and saving within your localtexmf directory you should run "initexmf -u". If you have set the PATH for MiKTeX binaries (C:\Programme\MiKTeX\miktex\bin) correctly then everything should work fine. It's very helpful to have a look at the latex - log - file. (View -- Latex logfile). There you can see whether are STY files or something is missing or not. Christoph

Changing font size in tables...
Hi there, I'm trying to change the size of text in a table. To do so, I have to select the text of each cell and then to change the font size. Is there a way to change the size of fonts for the whole table ? I tried to do so (selected complete table, changed character settings), but nothing happens. Thank you for your answer... Christoph
