Oh, I got confused. There is "inset frame" and "collapsable inset frame" 
(shouldn't it be "collapsible"?). Only the latter changes the color of 
the frames I have in mind. I have no idea what the former does. And 
there is apparently no "collapsable inset background". I don't know why.

Inset background color change does not work

Hi,

Changing the "inset background" color under Preferences seems not to be 
working. I can change the "inset frame" with no problem though. Or is 
the "inset background" only for some particular kinds of insets?

Ramos,
I found that the number of rows of column 1 was different of the number 
of rows of some columns to the right. After making the number of rows in 
each column of the table tally the mismatch was gone.

I hope you see what I see here.
You got to be more precise when setting up the tables.

If we ever make the integration more seamless we can feature it more
prominently so it is easier to find.

Well, perhaps I'm the only one so dogmatic about it, but I think it does
make it easier for others. I just try to remind users where convenient.

Not a stupid question. We just have not implemented multiple selections.

Gotcha, thanks for making me aware of this.  A search through the User's

I'll take a look at what is built-in already.

howto select multiple items in table

[Neal Becker]

OK, here's a stupid question.  I'm trying to select multiple items in a 
table with a mouse. shift-mouse1 selects all the intervening items. ctrl-
mouse1 does not add to the selection, it is overiding the selection, the 
same as mouse1. Using emacs key bindings.

states "Among other things, [LyXType] determines on which menu

This does sound like a job for a Flex inset. Can you explain in

What do you want to appear where this new inset would appear?

I'd suggest you look at endnotes.module for an example you

As for LyXType, the only genuine options here are CharStyle and

Ah, I see. Then charstyle is seems not to be the right thing.

For the Footnotemark:

- It should contain no arguments.
- It should also be possible to insert it in math mode.
- Can it count up the standard footnote counter that is shown on

Yes, the part about "no arguments" means we're dealing with a
command-type inset, not a collapsable inset, and there are no
custom
versions of the former.



Thanks. Well, I tried to make a virtue out of it and looked up the
\footnotemark command and it can actually has an optional argument.

There are two more obstacles:

1. \footnotetext actually also takes an optional argument. So far I
have implemented it with only with the required argument. Is it
possible to add an optional argument to it?


Yes. See the discussion of the Argument tag in section 5.3.6 of the
Customization manual. You only need to declare the optional
argument, I
believe. Have a look at some of the InsetLayout definitions is
beamer.layout. Most of these have optional arguments.


2. a minor one: \footnotemark receives only an optional argument. Is
it possible to give only an optional argument to a command, i.e. to
give it directly to [] rather than {} in the latex command? Right
now
I just make a new command that gives it's required argument to
footnotemark as an optional argument. It's a bit indirect.


Yes, I see. I don't think we have the ability to output the "main"
argument with customized delimiters. You can ADD delimiters with the
LeftDelim and RightDelim tags, but these just seem to appear inside
the
usual brackets. I suspect this is a bug, actually. With other
arguments
you can specify the delimitersl, and they override the default.

Thanks. The hint at the beamer.layout was useful. (Somehow I thought
that Argument 1 must be the argument that is always present but it is
actually the first "additional" argument it seems.)

Actually, the \footnotemark command works in math mode as well. But I
guess there is no chance of using my module inset in math mode, right?


A couple more things that would be nice:

- the footnotetext was added to the list of footnotes.


This would definitely take some work.


- one could refer to the standard names of other insets, like the
LabelString of the standard footnotes. For example, I have renamed the
standard "foot x" to "fn x". So I would like to have a reference to
that name ("foot" or "fn") so that others can have whatever they like
and it will automatically be used.
