Hello All, I am trying to write my thesis in the humanities with LyX and have checked around on the Wiki and this list and have not yet found an answer to my question. My thesis guidelines require me to use Chicago style footnotes plus a bibliography for references. I have decided that the easiest way to comply fully with Chicago in LyX is to forget about bibtex and just do the citations manually. This has worked fine so far, but I want to compile my bibliography now (again, manually, entering in each work). The problem is that LyX's default behaviour is to use numerical references so that every time one adds an entry, one gets:
[1] Op, The Continental. A Title. Place: Publisher & Co., 1993 is there any way to suppress those numbers? I realize it would be kind of silly if there was a way, since this would defeat the purpose of numerical citations, but I still hope that there might be a way to get LyX to "do the right thing". So, I would want it to show up like: Op, The Continental. A Title. Place: Publisher & Co., 1993 Davenport, Lucas. A Title. Place: Publisher & Co., 1993 Parker, Charlie. A Title. Place: Publisher & Co., 1993 ... etc. and likewise if the entry would extend to two lines, the second line would be indented more than the first. I have figured out that this is the 'openbib' option in memoir, but I still can't get the numbers to go away. Any assistance you could provide would be most welcome. Basically I just want to list all my works in a bibliography in chicago style.
