DocBook - HTML problem
Hello, I am running Lyx 1.3.0 from RH8 rpm Document Layout for manual.lyx is DocBook book (SGML) My converter preferences for DocBook - HTML indicate db2html $$iwith no extra flag. Viewer for HTML ismozilla file://$$p$$i temporary directory is /tmp When I work on manual.lyx and run View-HTML the browser opens on the non-existing location file:///tmp/lyx_tmpdir27585xtl0ry/lyx_tmpbuf0/manual.html The output (Table of Contents) looks fine if look at it as file:///tmp/lyx_tmpdir27585xtl0ry/lyx_tmpbuf0/manual/book1.html However if I serve the same directory via HTTPD and point to http://localhost/manual/book1.html I will not see the TOC, but an all-comprehensive page with interspersed nonprintable characters. Also, when I exit Lyx, I will get a sequence of errors Could not remove /tmp/lyx* Is a directory Thanks in advance for your help... Johnny
Re: alphabetic order for style list?
Better still, I would like there to be a field in the .layout files where I can list the environments in the order I prefer them to be in. This would be particularly useful as different layouts sometimes have the same environments in different orders which can be confusing.

Re: paper numbers and paragraphs
Thanks very much Matej for the advice. I followed it and got the
following error message upon compiling
Undefined control sequence.
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
Also do you or anyone have any suggestions on how to make the second and
subsequent, but not the first lines of a paragraph indented. Also I need
the columns on the last page of a two-column document of even length.
Google searches and the LyX-tips hasn't helped, though I vaguely
remember seeing something on the last point several moons back on this list.
Thanks all

Re: alphabetic order for style list?
You can manually change the ordering of the styles by using something like the following in your .layout file. --- #Sort the order of the styles Style Standard End Style Chapter End Style Section End Style Subsection End Style Subsubsection End Style Paragraph End Style List End --- This should put force them to appear in that order, starting from the top, and anything not explicity listed will follow.
