I've been looking through the lists but there are a couple of things
that I haven't been able to find a satisfactory answer for. I hope I
don't want too much :-)
I have a small issue with brackets in equations, when I put an
expression between brackets it sizes the symbol in such a way that it's
equal size on both sides of the equation axis. But this can look might
strange when you have a fraction in there which size is much larger on
one side. A useless example of this:
\left[\frac{\sqrt{\frac{E}{Z}}^\frac{4}{3}}{a}\right]^2
Is there a way to make the brackets match the actual content (The way
LyX itself shows it)?
My second problem is with a long list of "List" style items. The spacing
this items is a bit too much and I tried to reduce it with ERT, for
instance:
{ \setlength{\parskip}{1pt}
.... actual list items in LyX...
}
But apparently the \parskip doesn't have anything to do with the list
spacing. Is there another length that can be set for this? Or a
different way even?
This one is strictly LyX related. I have the English version of LyX and
I usually write in English. And here in the Netherlands we use US
international layout keyboards and rarely use Dutch layouts. But now I
run into trouble when I need Dutch or German characters. For instance
when I want to write the German u with an umlaut. In Latex this is
supposed to be done with \"{u} but that's not a very readable solution.
On top of that, you can't even type a double quote when you have the
quote conversion option turned on. Is there a useable way of inserting
these characters?
My last problem is very odd. I have a fairly big document in Report
class with text, plenty of equations, some eps pixmap figures and a few
eps figures that I parse through psfrag (turned on and off around the
figures). All this works fine in Lyx and previewing in xdvi (including
the ps figures) is perfect as well. Then I try to export it as
Postscript with dvips and this appears to work without errors or
warnings. However, the resulting ps is broken and Ghostscript segfaults
on it.
Does anybody have any ideas about what could cause this?
Thanks for all the help. This and previous times :-)
