Lyx 1.1.5.fix2 on SuSE7.0 Problems
Hello all you, since I started to write my thesis on Lyx 1.1.5 an now on 1.1.5.fix1 on an old 200MHz Pentium machine with SuSE Linux 6.3. I tried several installations on faster machines with either the same Linux version or now with the 7.0 release. On that 800MHz PIII machine with SuSE Linux 7.0 I installed Lyx 1.1.5.fix2 and it seemed to work until I loaded an 'old' file from the Lyx 1.1.5.fix1 version on my old computer. The one page documents get loaded but the pictures in figure floats are not be drawn. When I try to load my thesis as far as it is written (from the disk which is mounted via NFS) very short the title could be seen but then the whole KDE crashes and goes to the login screen. When I copy the thesis document to a local directory (without the pictures) the document is loaded but the chapters are badly renumbered. I don't know what to change further (I have done reconfigure, I have copied the .lyx directory from my old computer to the new one). If anyone knows what to try pleas let me know.

Why did LyX create its own layout format?
Since I publicized my blunder with the myHangIndent code not translating well with latex2html, I've been doing some background study to understand better the mistake. This morning I woke with this question. Why did the original LyX author create his own layout format? Why didn't he use the TeX standard sty or cls style? That way, LyX could use any TeX sty or cls files and not have to build that intermediate lyx layout representation of it. I know there must be a good reason, but the more I try to learn a giant style file from the Kluwer publishing company and translate it into a lyx book layout, the more I wish I didn't have to do it at all. Since I don't know TeX, it is extremely frustrating to translate TeX into LyX, which I also don't know -- Paul E.

I can't comment on the thoughts of the original LyX author but I guess it's a matter of simplicity: .sty/.cls files can contain arbitrary TeX commands so it is really difficult to interpret correctly not to mention to guess a good screen layout (WYSIWYG is not necessarily what you want on a 640x480 screen...)

So having the paragraph skip set to indent, together with using

Are you using skip _and_ indent together? (that would be really far
from the little typography that I know)
Note that in cases like:
...\par
This is a first sentence in a paragraph
\begin{itemize}
\item one

Second paragraph in same paragraph.\par
"Second..." should not be indented. since this is not a new paragraph.

How_to_center_inputted_figs?
Hello, How can we center Figures that are inserted using "Insert-Include_File-Input" (It's these xfigs that combine Latex and PS). I insert them into a figure float, but the centering on the page doesn't react on hfill's. Do we have to set \hfill's manually? Thanks Andreas -- Andreas Rau
