Hi everyone!
I'm writing my PhD thesis in Lyx and it's great but I have one problem
to which I couldn't find a solution (I've been trying for hours and
would really appreciate some help):
I have some figures (in floats) that are quite large but don't fill a
whole page. On their own everything's fine. However as soon as I add a
long caption to such a figure (easily three quoters of a page, which
is quite usual in biology) the float is too big for one page and just
runs over the margin which is unusable. Basically, all I want is for
Lyx to insert page breaks into long figure legends. If I can do this
in a straight forward manner I'll be very happy. I did try the
"nonfloat" package (http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/PlacingFiguresAndProducingLegends
) but it was a mess because it replaces all figures in a certain way,
which I don't like and I'm not good enough at ERT to reconfigure all
of "nonfloats" parameters back to the original Lyx ones (that's the
reason I use Lyx and not clean LATEX). I really am happy with the
whole rest of the float formatting, it's just the page break that I
need! Please tell me that there's an easy way out without me risking
my beautiful document layout and formatting!
Many thanks for any help out there!!!!!!
Best,
