Greetings lyxers!
I have a few problems formatting my thesis (which is of course must be
turned in quite soon), and am looking for help.
All these queries relate to lyx-1.1.6fix3-1 on redhat 7.1 linux.
My thesis is set up ambitiously as a multipart document using a style
file for I.U. theses that is based on the book class. I "include" each
chapter after the chapter heading; I need to have a bibliography and
figures at the end of each chapter. Currently, each chapter has a
separate bibligraphy inset, as suggested on Herbert's tips page.
1. float placement (AAAARRRGH!)
I can get my figures at the end of the chapter using the package
"endfloat", but it puts in a separate page in front of the
references that says this:
[figure 1 should go about here]
[figure 2 should go about here]
[figure 3 should go about here]
etc.
Not good. It also prints a list of figures, but doesn't use the
short captions like the lyx LOF does.
If I put in a Figures section after the bib inset, I always get
page that is blank except for the section label "Figures" before
the first figure; if I don't put in the section paragraph (which I
DO want), the figures all get the heading "bibliography".
I have put in some ERT, like this, to reset the page and the header
(and then I just throw that page away):
\section{Figures}\addtocounter{page}{-1}
What is the Better Way?
2. ChapterBib and NatBib
I have followed faithfully the suggestions on Herbert's page for
working with chapterbib in a multipart document: I put in a bibliography
inset at the end of each chapter, and I have \usepackage{chapterbib} and
\usepackage[options]{natbib} in the preamble of each document.
But, bibtex is unhappy about the repeated insets:
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.3.1)
The top-level auxiliary file: Thesis.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: ThesisAbstract.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: SSE-thesischapter.aux
The style file: apalike.bst
Illegal, another \bibdata command---line 79 of file SSE-thesischapter.aux

I'm skipping whatever remains of this command

Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "Tittiger93"
Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "Gilbert86"
Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "Kwiatowski95"
The CRAZY thing is that this was working (I thought) last week -- and now it
isn't, and of course I have to turn in the thesis on Wednesday.
Any clues from the loyal lyx crowd?
