graphics and floats in lyx 1.2.1

Im using lyx 1.2.1 and tried the following:

this in the user guide) the following: insertfloatfigure entered my text and
selected a graphic: insertgraphics
when I want to view the text in either dvi or ps or anything else I get two
error-messages:
#I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
#For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce

#I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
#argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
#your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.
and
#I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
#control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
#My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.
whats wrong?
I found this workaround: export it as *.latex run latex and ignore the
error-msgs, but i do not want to run it manually, thats why i use lyx;-) have

Roman numerals page numbers
I seem to remember doing this, but I don't know how to do it anymore... I want to number the pages up to the Chapter One using roman numerals, i.e. the table of contents and list of figures and tables, the abstract etc, they must all be numbered using roman numerals. How is this done? Thanks, Vlad.
Re: LyX 1.2.1 build failure under YellowDog 2.3
After more experimentation I've found I can install directly from the tarball using the normal configure/make/make install procedure, so I'm guessing the problem lies in rpm's environment being subtly different from when I do a make. I'm going to compare the output from make and the rpm build proces to look for clues, but I have no experience troubleshooting RPM's so I'm open to other ideas. While I can live with just the tarball install, I'd prefer to have the thing registered with RPM. David -- --- David M.

For the book class, write
\frontmatter
(in latex mode) at the beginning of the document, and
\mainmatter
before the 1st chapter.
If you are using a class for which the above doesn't work, use
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}}
to change to Roman numbering, and
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}}
to switch to normal numbering.

Roman numerals page numbers
I seem to remember doing this, but I don't know how to do it anymore... I want to number the pages up to the Chapter One using roman numerals, i.e. the table of contents and list of figures and tables, the abstract etc, they must all be numbered using roman numerals. How is this done? Thanks, Vlad.
Re: LyX 1.2.1 build failure under YellowDog 2.3
After more experimentation I've found I can install directly from the tarball using the normal configure/make/make install procedure, so I'm guessing the problem lies in rpm's environment being subtly different from when I do a make. I'm going to compare the output from make and the rpm build proces to look for clues, but I have no experience troubleshooting RPM's so I'm open to other ideas. While I can live with just the tarball install, I'd prefer to have the thing registered with RPM. David -- --- David M.

For the book class, write
\frontmatter
(in latex mode) at the beginning of the document, and
\mainmatter
before the 1st chapter.
If you are using a class for which the above doesn't work, use
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}}
to change to Roman numbering, and
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}}
to switch to normal numbering.

No this doesn't work for an empty first line. That's what I do in the second
item of the above example. But I can't increase the depth of the line
containig the enumi-counter. In latex I want
\begin{enumerate}
\item \begin{claim*} blah... \end{claim*}
\begin{proof} blah \end{proof}
\item blah
\end{enumerate}
I just noticed that with amsthm a new line is started anyway but with ntheorem
ist works.

graphics and floats in lyx 1.2.1
hello LyxList
Im using lyx 1.2.1 and tried the following:
i want to have a float and in this float a graphic so i did (i found it like
this in the user guide) the following: insert>float>figure entered my text and
selected a graphic: insert>graphics
when I want to view the text in either dvi or ps or anything else I get two
error-messages:
#I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
#For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
#this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
#I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
#argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
#your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.
and
#I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
#control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
#My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.
whats wrong?
I found this workaround: export it as *.latex run latex and ignore the
error-msgs, but i do not want to run it manually, thats why i use lyx;-) have
you got any ideas
thanks a lot

Okay it works with ERT. But wouldn't it be nice if it were possible with pure
LyX? E.g. it would be nice to be able to have an empty enum-line. I know
there are good reasons not to allow it. I use my own layout file. Therefore I
would like to have a switch in that layout file that tells LyX not to erase
an empty line in enumerate and if it encounters one not to insert a empty
line. Then I could increase the depth of the following line and use another
environment and would get what I want. Just a suggestion.

Hi, how can I start a environment immediatly after starting a new item? I want to have something like I am going to proof it using two seperate claims 1. Claim. I claim... Proof. Here it is... 2. Let A be this Claim. ... Proof. ... Furthermore... Claim and Proof are environments (from amsthm). The second item works fine, but the first item is impossible, because LyX does not allow an empty item line. Ralf -- Please remove one x in my mail address

You can just put a note inset in the enumerate paragraph that you with to be "empty". (or you can put % in ERT).

Same problem here, too. Mouse text selection isn't usable if the select region crosses a page boundary. Scott Vladimir Milovanovic wrote: Yeah, I have the same problem.
