I would appreciate help for a few questions:
1*
I know that Lyx is currently not
supporting directly the \caption[short legend]{long legend} command
However, my legends are quite long and the list of figures becomes too long and
difficult to read. What should I do to create a short legend list? The problem
is that the Tex command \caption[short legend]{long legend}
is not accepted in the figure environment of lyx. If I put the command outside
the figure, the page listing does not correspond always to the actual position
of the figure, because the figures are partly positioned at pages different
from the one where the figure is referred to. It is a book of several hundred
pages and about 300 figures, so handwork is difficult.
2*
How do I get the chapter* title (i.e. this chapter is not numbered) in the
list of contents?
3*
List of Figures
List of Tables
Chapter* Preface
Chapter* Introduction
How do I avoid that the page header `list of tables' is shown also on the pages
following
Chapter* Preface and
Chapter* Introduction
until the next regular chapter
Chapter Biological clocks
has started?
4*Where can I find informations beyond the one in the Lyx help documentation on
the best way to write the bibliography? natbib...
Thanks a lot in advanc
