I was following the Tutorial.lyx from within LyX Version 2.0.0 (Friday, 29 April 2011) and got stuck at 3.4.2 because "<reference> on page<page>" doesn't work though "on page<page>" works.
It works here. It seems that you don't have all LaTeX-package installed that are needed by LyX. To fix this: - if you are on Windows, log in as admin, open an Internet connection and use then in LyX the menu Tools->Reconfigure; this will automatically install all needed packages
- on Mac and Linux, use the TeXLive/MacTeX package manager to install the package "varioref".
More over, in 3.4.3, when the section is changed to subsection, the label doesn't change as mentioned.
This is not written in the tutorial. It says "the cross-reference will reference Subsection 2.1 instead of Section 3". And this is the case.
The label does not change because it is not necessary. Or what do you expect?
That I think is obvious as "section" is a manually typed word and how would LyX know that it means section?
I'm now confused. The tutorial says that the refernce is updated. So you get the number 2.1 instead of 3. What you write before the reference, e.g. the word "section" is your job. But you can also automatize the reference name. How to do this is explained in sec. 3.4.2 "Automatic Reference Naming" of the EmbeddedObjects manual that you find in LyX's Help menu.
Over all, my opinion of LyX is great and will be starting to write my thesis with it now that I've completed the Tutorial which seems to cover everything that I would need at least initially. Thanks a lot for the great work.
You can start with LyX's thesis template (menu File->new from template).
P.S.: There's also a small capitalization mistake in this part. The LyX text there says "section" whereas the instructions say "Section" and vice versa
Where exactly do you see this? In references, the name is usually started with a capital letter. I tried to follow this rule in all documentation files.
in the pdf version at http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/LyX/Manuals/1.4.2/Tutorial.pdf which seems to be very old but perhaps newer than the inbuilt one as I haven't found out the inbuilt tutorial's date or version.
The built-in documentation files are always the most recent ones. If you can for a certain reason not produce your own PDF out of them, I provide them here as small service:
