Bibliography/citation formatting issues

2006-06-15 Thread Jeremy Wells
In 2003, I evaluated several solutions for an academic word processing environment--e.g., word processor and a bibliography manager. I seriously considered Lyx, but ended up using MS Word and Endnote. I have now come full circle and am again looking at Lyx in combination with JabRef. In my

There's a difference here between \maketitle and [EMAIL PROTECTED], at least if you're modifying one of the existing classes. The former is defined using \newcommand, but the latter is defined using \def. It'd be nice if someone could explain why. Richard Steve Litt wrote: > On Thursday 15 June

bug?: section numbering in note-insets

2006-06-15 Thread Sven Schreiber
Hi all, when I shove an entire subsection into a note inset, the numbering of the other non-note subsections remains as if nothing was "commented out", i.e. numbers on screen do not match the printed output. I realize that this behavior might also be considered a feature, but I'm inclined to

To reiterate, my main issue is with bibliography/citation formatting. I looked briefly at RefDB and rejected it because the documentation specifically said: "refdb performs only a very limited amount of formatting for those items which are not well supported in BibTeX. [...] All other

The references are in the text, and not in a separate .bib file? Allow me to suggest that you separate them. The time and effort you spend will be repaid many times since you can extract the data from the .bib file in many different formats. Rich Thanks, Rich. Yes, the references are

On the bright side, once you've entered something into BibDesk, you'll never have to retype it again. From within LyX, you simply select the file containing the bibliographical database(s) you've constructed with BibDesk. (The database is not tied to a single LyX document, but can be
