Re: LyX, fruits and vegetable

[DUVAL Laurent]

Why not emphasize the fat-free veggie-like
behaviour of LyX, (as opposed to other word processors)
and choose a pronunciation akin to:

"leek" (for those who know about greek)
or "lichi" (or leechee, litchi, however you call it), like in
the chi2 test.

"lix"  in Latin  is about clothe washing (if I remember well),
but being pro-lix about LyX could be far too boring
to anti-LyX people.

Re: \mathversion; fonts in menu

[Nick Burgan]

Krzys,

I'm not exactly sure if you wanted to do this, but if you just want to make 
individual symbols in your equations bold then if you precede the symbol, (in 
math mode) with

\boldsymbol

then it will make the symbol bold. It will only make the character that 
directly follows the command bold though, for example if you did

\boldsymbol\gamma\psi

the gamma will be bold and the psi wont

(also if you just want to make normal letters bold in math mode use ctrl-b)

I'm not sure of all the advantages and disadvantages of using the \boldsymbol 
command but it is the best way I have found to make selected Greek letters 
etc bold in an equation

Do you?  

*scratch head*

I thought you were using "licks". But maybe that was just the English
translation for Jean-Marc or Jose... Using "lyks" of course makes a
lot more sense in the presence of moskitoes...

Nah... it's "lüks" of course because it is spelled with an y which is
pronounced "üpsilon".

Sure... "lüks" and "lüngs" are somewhat similar... But pronouncing them
properly  has the big advantage over "licks" and "links" that  

  (a) you do not have to open your mouth too far (I actually wonder how
  Lars could talk about "licks" in this mosquito infested tundra where
  he happens to live without getting too much living things between the
  teeth) and 
  (b) you do not mistake "lynx" for "links" - which is an other decent web
  browser.

I have enough problems explaining to my Windows-using co-workers that the 
books I have on LaTeX are not about fetishism.  I'll never be able to sell 
this program if they have to cope with another weird pronunciation!

Oh well, at least it isn't yet another word-processor that has "word" 
somewhere in the name.

How to insert a file into a table?

[Rick Bilonick]

I used to be able to insert a text file into a table. But I can't do it
user 1.1.6fix1. I used to just insert the cursor in the upper left most
cell and do a file insert (as lines). When I try this, the text ends up
outside the table. Worse, there are large blank spaces between the lines
of text. I would like to put the data in a table or at least remove the
blank lines from the text. Any ideas on how to do this?

Re: LyX

Aw cmon.

You just don't want to give up your 
  LyX chicks on Unix
catchphrase.

Me, I believe that once you have the Greek letter y present, that makes
the
X a CHI (else why is presented as uppercase?). 

So (in the spirit of TeX = "teck"  put me down for  LyX = "lick".

I get the citation style required of my document with natbib. This is to

defining {}'s in the preamble), thus for John Doe's book, page 498...

Date format & location

[Bruce Wolk]

How does one change the location and format of the date in the letter
document class.  It mysteriously appears as "26th August 2001" two lines
below the return address.  I would like to move it and have it read
"August 26, 2001."  I can find no reference to this in any of the
documentation.  I looked in the letter.lyx, letter.layout, and the
various .inc files and could find no place that references the date.  I
assume it somehow arrives via the LaTeX document class, but I have no
idea how to modify that.

Thanks.

Bruce

a float cannot be more than one page! therefore insert the two ps-pages
as two single ps-images (no floats!). resize them to 0.95 of columnwidth.
