proposal for bug fix vis-a-vis index entries
@lyx developers,
i'd look at doing this fix myself, but i'm on a dialup line, paying for
each minute online, and the lyx tarball is 5M+.
For the Qt interface, it seems it would be trivial to fix the Index Item
entry dialog to automatically escape any illegal characters, like "_".
QString::replace("_","\\_") should do the trick, and would be trivial to
add to the slot which handles the OK button (though i don't know if
that slot has access to the string itself).
Alternately, instead of automatic escaping, a warning dialog explaining
that the entry contains some illegal char(s) would be acceptable, and
could be done using Qt::QRegExp with little effort.
For non-Qt interfaces, std::string's replace() could be used, though it
requires more work than Qt::String. (But i have no idea if lyx uses the
STL.)
The fact that the dialog allows one to enter invalid data has caused me
NO END of grief. Adding a single underscore to one index entry causes
errors in completely unrelated parts of the doc when exporting, and
tracking down the problem is really difficult (as is shown by my
frustrated posts on the topic), especially since Idx entries aren't
visible until clicked on (maybe an Expand/View Index Entries option,
like the one for Footnotes, is feasible?). IMO a dialog box should not
allow you to enter data which is itself illegal for the program the
dialog is serving, especially when it *silently* does so.

That's a very good idea. Thanks :) Regarding IDX entries on the same lines as Section labels: > Right, but by putting it into the section head, it'll then _also_ > appear in the ToC, and that will appear in the index as well, which > you probably don't want, possibly also in the running head (this > depends on the documentclass and settings for running heads) i went through today and removed the IDXs from the sections, moving them down a line. This actually violates the suggestions in the docs, which say to put it on the same line as word, but i'm not terribly concerned about a 1-line difference which *might* lead to an off-by-one page number. -- - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.

Entering equations
Hi, I am trying out LyX, but find it a bit difficult to enter equations, as the boxes for entering sub and super script on e.g. summations, are very small. Is there a way to magnify the equation editor? -- _ Web-based SMS services available at http://www.operamail.com. >From your mailbox to local or overseas cell phones. Powered by Outblaze
indexing question
Yo, i've noticed with indexing that PDF exports show the page numbers in the index and HTML exports show section numbers. Is there a way to get PDF exports to use the section number in the index, or to show both section # and page number? Not a big deal, just curious. Some pages in my docs have multiple sections, so the page number references are a bit vague. Thanks in advance, (PS: i'm sub'd to this list, so there is no need to CC me on responses.) -- - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.

Won't happen. Besides, word is not a section head. LaTeX will _not_ (barring user manipulation / mangling) break a page between a section head and the following text. It's smart that way ;) William -- William Adams, publishing specialist voice - 717-731-6707 | Fax - 717-731-6708 www.atlis.com

I saw this accidentally, I almost never read the lyx lists anymore. If you get this to work, send the mods/patch my way, and I'll put up a new version on the usual site. At least that way others will benefit from your enhancements (even if I don't really work on lyxport anymore). Best, f
