I use Lyx 1.5.2 on XP with bibtex to write academic papers. I sometimes
want to cite a reference as an example of a point I am making using the
Latin expression *e.g*.. What I am going for is something like the
following.
Many researchers have said "blah blah blah" (*e.g.* Smith, 2005).
When I insert a citation into Lyx, using Insert>Citation I have the option
of putting in "Text Before" to appear before the citation. This is
great...but I want that text to be in italics. Any thoughts on how to make
that happen? Do I have to modify the bibtex .sty file? If so I have no
idea how to do this. Seems like a small thing...but I have an adviser who
is a stickler for that formatting convention in particular!
Thanks for any pointers,
Andrew
