Hello lyx users:
My question is not specific to lyx but as I use lyx as a latex "frontend" I
guess it is appropriate to ask it here.
I would like to make a specific page numbering style in the footer,
something like:
---------------- page-number -------------------
A horizontal line in the footer which is interrupted by the page number
in the center. Is this possible in lyx/latex? How?
If you have the mboxfill package installed, you can change the page style to
"fancy" (Document> Settings...> Page Layout> Headings style) and add the
following to the preamble of your document:
\usepackage{mboxfill}
\cfoot{\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}\thepage\mboxfill[2\width][c]{-}}

Another solution also using fancy page headers in the document settings
but plain tex otherwise. Put this in the preamble.
\def\hlinefill{\leavevmode\cleaders\hbox{\rule[0.6ex]{1em}{0.4pt}}\hfill}
\fancyfoot{\hlinefill~~~\thepage~~~\hlinefill}
In the above:
- 0.6ex is the height of the line (looks kind of centered)
- 1em is the width of a line segment which gets repeated to fill space
- 0.4pt is the thickness of the line (this particular choice is a
default value elsewhere in tex)
By the way, using fancy headers will add default headers, if you don't
want them you get rid of them with
\fancyhead{}
