Hi For the last two years I have been a very happy user of Lyx (currently version 1.6.5 on Windows XP in combination with TexLive 2009) for writing my PhD thesis.
But now I have stumbled across something strange in relation to cross-references since I have split up my thesis into a master document with child-documents for the different chapters: * whenever I compile the child-documents into pdf, this results in cross-references being replaced with "??" double question-marks. * whenever I compile the masterdocument this results in correct references to chapters, sections or pagenumbers. Is this behaviour a bug, feature or user error? Unfortunately I could not find the answer in the Help documentation. The "additional features", section 3.2.2 "3.2.2 Cross-References Between Files" reads the following: "This section is somewhat out of date. Need to describe default master documents and how children are opened when the master is. [[FIXME]]" Also searching the lyx-user list archives I could not find an answer. Although using a "one-big-document" approach is an easy solution for correct cross-references in the pdf-output, I would prefer the elegance of a modular workflow based on a single master-document and multiple child-documents. Especially as in this stage I am working with different people on different chapters at the same time. thanks in advance for any further suggestions, Stefan Verhaegh
