Re: Tables stuff
Note, that I have a table wih 2 columns 3cm and 7cm, and below it a table with 10 columns 1cm each. Shouldn't they match in size? ;^) No. In the first case the width of your table is 10 cm + \tabcolsep, in the latter 10cm + 9 \tabcolsep. This is standard LaTeX behaviour. Andre' Aha! That explains a similar problem I had some time ago. I find I use multicolumns a lot to get irregular tables to line up properly. I don't know if that is a correct use of multicolumns, but it works for what I need. Generally: I am using latex for more than ten years and for me the table-handling of lyx is a _very_ strong argument for using it. ;-) Ciao! juh I totally agree with this. Tony.

Ok (I've all the documentation, but sometimes I'm a bit lazy to look
into it ;). The vertical alignment can be realized also with the actual
lyx version. Go into the Extra-Options and insert for the column (or
the cell if it is a multicolumn-cell) the option m{n} f.ex. m{10cm}
and now this cell has a verticall middle alignment.

Bruce ASCII and tools to convert troff to HTML. For example, when
Bruce output in ascii, the title is not centered.
The problem with the current ASCII export code is that it does not
honor the .layout file and everything in it is hardcoded. This is

OK. First an apology. I had not completed reading the Tutorial before
I started trying to load in my troff files. Having now read the
tutorial section on reLyX, I now understand why I should not have been
surprised by the red text. The volume of the red text had me thinking I
was doing something wrong, but I now understand it was a complexity of
issues.
I found that the tr2latex code was broken for fonts too. When you
choose Roman in troff, you are really saying 'no italics, no bold',
while latex/lyx sees that as a font selection. Changing tr2latex from
\rm to \mdseries\upshape fixed most of my problems.
I did write a script handle the \fill, \nofill entries which were not
understood.
I see in the reLyX bugs section:
- \normalfont and \textnormal are not supported and may confuse the font stacks.
You can change "\sffamily foo \normalfont" to "\sffamily foo \rmfamily" or
even to "\textsf{foo}" to get around this problem.
but in fact my problem was that I was not trying to change fonts, but
tr2latex was trying to change fonts when it should just select medium
weight and no italics.
Seems like reLyX is working fine for my purposes.

Ok (I've all the documentation, but sometimes I'm a bit lazy to look
into it ;). The vertical alignment can be realized also with the actual
lyx version. Go into the Extra-Options and insert for the column (or
the cell if it is a multicolumn-cell) the option m{n} f.ex. m{10cm}
and now this cell has a verticall middle alignment.

OK. First an apology. I had not completed reading the Tutorial before
I started trying to load in my troff files. Having now read the
tutorial section on reLyX, I now understand why I should not have been
surprised by the red text. The volume of the red text had me thinking I
was doing something wrong, but I now understand it was a complexity of
issues.
I found that the tr2latex code was broken for fonts too. When you
choose Roman in troff, you are really saying 'no italics, no bold',
while latex/lyx sees that as a font selection. Changing tr2latex from
\rm to \mdseries\upshape fixed most of my problems.
I did write a script handle the \fill, \nofill entries which were not
understood.
I see in the reLyX bugs section:
- \normalfont and \textnormal are not supported and may confuse the font stacks.
You can change "\sffamily foo \normalfont" to "\sffamily foo \rmfamily" or
even to "\textsf{foo}" to get around this problem.
but in fact my problem was that I was not trying to change fonts, but
tr2latex was trying to change fonts when it should just select medium
weight and no italics.
Seems like reLyX is working fine for my purposes.
