ftp.lyx.org - revived

2004-12-07 Thread Lars Gullik Bjønnes

The ftp server had a fatal disk crash during the weekend and all the
disk arrays had to be rebuild.

I have just finished uploading the whole lyx ftp site again.

Please tell if there are any problems.

Yes, underscores have tendency to confuse LaTeX (being a sign for subscript)
and they need to be protected. If you can, avoid them.

text on pages with figures

2004-12-07 Thread Leo Gürtler
Hi alltogether,
how can I force lyx/latex to put text on pages on which (floating) 
figures are placed that are greater than half of the page size ?
It seems that at some size figures are alone on a page. How can I 
change that to use every part of a page ?

thanks,
Leo

You need to set some parameters in  the preamble, see
