But as I'm writing a book figure and table captions are essential.

You seem to have missed the end of my message where I said I know about this trick and actually use it extensively. The big problem is that I use a lot of subfigures in figure floats and in this case the mentioned ERT-trick cannot be used anymore. And I guess it is impossible to extend the ERT-trick to this case. Therefore a real native LyX support for individual float placement options is absolutely necessary.

Lyx-Code style problems.
I need to use Lyx-Code style in a layout that doesn't
have it. So I copied the Lyx-Code style into my layout.
It works except that multiple spaces are compressed into
a single space.
I experimented and determined that if I modified
article.layout and amsart.layout to be the same except that
one has the line
# \DeclareLaTeXClass{article (AMS)}
and the other has the line
# \DeclareLaTeXClass{article}
then the article.layout version has multiple spaces in style Lyx-Code
but the amsart.layout version does not.
Could someone explain this?
And explain how I can modify my document class to use
Lyx-Code with multiple spaces?
Note: I do not have sysadmin privalages so cannot modify
the standard layouts and apparently cannot create a new
one in my .lyx/layouts directory. I run config and then
check the list of classes in the popup Layout/document.../class
but the new layout is not listed. (Yes, I exit lyx and then restart
lyx.)
What I do is modify the standard layouts in my .lyx/layouts directory
to get the layout that I want. This is crude but gives
me what I need until this can be sorted out.
Hopefully I can create my own layouts when I upgrade.
I don't see why any of this relates to the problem
I have with Lyx-Code but I thought I should let you
know.
Thanks
Ralph Boland
Currently I am using lyx 1.0.4 and will upgrade when
the next stable version is released in ???.

Problem linking lyx
Hello All, I've a problem linking lyx 1.14: support/.libs/libsupport.a(LRegex.o): In function `vector, __default_alloc_template >::insert_aux(pair *, pair const &)': /usr/include/g++/stl_uninitialized.h(.text+0x53): undefined reference to `regcomp(re_pattern_buffer *, char const *, int)' My system is SuSE 6.3. Thank You Steffen
Keeping different floats together
In my thesis I have several electrical schematics with a table of transistor sizes as a table aside. I would like keep these figure and table float pairs as closely together as possible. And I do not want to use h-placement option as it does not look good enough in a book format. Additionally, I have so many floats around compared to the lenght of text around that moving these float pairs does not do the trick anymore. So is there a ERT-trick to join a figure and a table float together ? Addional question: When a REAL method to control the placement options of the floats individually appears in LyX ? The global float placement options in the document layout is just not good enough as empty defaults are usually the best anyway. So this option is more or less a waste of space in the document layout popup. I've complained about this several times to this list over the years and nothing has happened so far. Therefoer I also know about the ERT-trick to overcome the problem. Unfortunately it does not work with subfigures and unfortunately I'm using them extensively. At least to me and to several other LyX-users I know this it the most missed feature in this otherwise excellent program.
