Hi Carlos,
Hello
I'm using fancyvrb to include copies of some files into a text. I used
\VerbatimInput[fontsize=\small,numbers=left]{COPYING.GNU.V2}
maked as TeX. If I export my document to LaTeX format and compile it by
hand everything goes ok, but if I select a preview from under LyX the text
is not included. My conclusion was that since LyX is running LaTeX at /tmp
and not at the document's directory, LaTeX doen't find the included
file.
As a temporary "solution" I can put a symlink in /tmp/lyx_tmp??? pointing
to the real file, but this is far from elegant. Any better idea?
One possible solution is to set in your lyxrc file no to use the temp dir:
\use_tempdir false
Then lyx will not use any temporary directory and all is ok...
Thanks

Re: Problem with XFig and LyX 1.04 docs
I do not see this. Are you sure that you selected 'Input' instead of
'Include'?
Yes, I tried both. One showed nothing, the other kind of worked after I
had an extension of tex.
Can you show us exactly what you do and what you get? I do
Insert - Include file
Then select "Use input" and enter

Thank you for your help.
Your suggestion works corrctly in a latex file, but I am non able to use
that in LyX.
I tried the following instruction, in LyX:
\begin{enumerate}
\setcounter{enumi}{3}
\item line number 1
\item line number 2
\end{enumerate}
Two lines numbered 4 and 5 result, as expected.
Yet I didn't succeed when adding the single command \setcounter{enumi}{3}
in a LyX enumerate environment.
Okay to make this work in LyX is even uglier than I imagined. The main
problem is that LyX doesn't give us the option of squeezing a line or two
of raw LaTeX in between the \begin{...} and the first \item. If we could
get a good solution to that we could also fix a few other minor problems
like adding toc entries for the Bibliography that would always give the
right page numbers. Anyway, in answer to your question here's an ugly
solution I came up with:
In the first item after the break insert the following as TeX:
[##.]\setcounter{enumi}{##}
where the ## is the number you want the enumeration to start at.
I've also written a \newcommand to add to your preamble to give you a
simpler way of using this scheme:
\newcommand{\setenumi}[1]{#1.\setcounter{enumi}{#1}}
In this case you just write as TeX:
[\setenumi{3}]
at the start of the first \item after the break in enumeration.
I've tried a bunch of stuff but I can't seem to figure out a way to record
the value of enumi from the last \item before the break. I can print the
value out at that \item but can't get a something simple like:
\let\savetheenumi=\value{enumi}
or other variations to work. Any others got ideas here?

> in a LyX enumerate environment.
Okay to make this work in LyX is even uglier than I imagined. The main
problem is that LyX doesn't give us the option of squeezing a line or two
of raw LaTeX in between the \begin{...} and the first \item. If we could
get a good solution to that we could also fix a few other minor problems
like adding toc entries for the Bibliography that would always give the
right page numbers. Anyway, in answer to your question here's an ugly
solution I came up with:
In the first item after the break insert the following as TeX:
[##.]\setcounter{enumi}{##}
where the ## is the number you want the enumeration to start at.
I've also written a \newcommand to add to your preamble to give you a
simpler way of using this scheme:
\newcommand{\setenumi}[1]{#1.\setcounter{enumi}{#1}}
In this case you just write as TeX:
[\setenumi{3}]
at the start of the first \item after the break in enumeration.
I've tried a bunch of stuff but I can't seem to figure out a way to record
the value of enumi from the last \item before the break. I can print the
value out at that \item but can't get a something simple like:
\let\savetheenumi=\value{enumi}
or other variations to work. Any others got ideas here?
