problem with hyphenation of underlined text

[Kevin Pfeiffer]

Hi all,

I have a document that contains transcriptions of correspondence. The 
text contains instances where an underscore is used for emphasis which 
we wish to retain. Unfortunately when such words fall at the end of the 
line LyX (or LaTeX) no longer seems to be able to hyphenate them.

Is there something I can do about this? Or do I manually need to break 
these words?  :-(

How to not display appendix labels (A, B, C, etc.)?

[Kevin Pfeiffer]

In the table of contents each appendix chapter is listed with a label:

A. Appendix  Section
B. Another Appendix Section
C. Etc.

I want to eliminate the ABCs. I tried switching from chapter to 
*chapter but then in the page headings the last chapter title was 
carried over so that it appeared as if these appendix sections were 
sitting in the last chapter of the book.

Grateful for any tips.

-Kevin

BTW, lyx.org is displaying only the Apache default start page right now.

column width problem with Labeling solved

[Kevin Pfeiffer]

I posted this a couple weeks ago (answer follows).

 I have a list that consists of keywords and explanations. I used a 
 paragraph environment called Labeling to do this. My problem is that 
 one keyword is so long that it runs beyond where the body text of all 
 other keywords start.

 I looked at the User guide and found no mention of Labeling. 
 But I did find List, which seems to be the same thing. Except that 
 for List there are instructions on how to change label width, etc. 
 Yet, when I look at the paragraph settings for Labeling, I see no 
 possibility to do this.

In the paragraph layout dialogue (mentioned in help text), this setting 
can be found under the tab Lines  Pagebreaks (not mentioned in help 
text).

Confusingly, the default entry is something like 00.00.00 which 
led me to (wrongly) assume that perhaps a numerical entry (of units 
unknown) is to be entered. Since the help instructions (I forgot in 
which help doc) suggest using a count of Ms, perhaps the default entry 
should be changed to something like MMM?  (this was using 
1.3.5).

Here is an example taken from an explanation of how to write correct
syntax when using regular expressions.

http://www.progsoc.uts.edu.au/tfm/node37.html


Quotes (double quotes). Double quotes are used around strings containing
any reserved character except back-quote (see below) and the variable
indicator ``$''.

foo$ echo old - new
old - new
foo$ ls *
* not found
foo$


'
Quote (forward quote). The single quote provides the greatest protection
against rewriting and reserved characters. All reserved characters,
including double quotes, are protected by single quotes.

`
Back Quote (backwards quote). The backquote is a rather special symbol.
In /bin/sh, unless the backquote is protected by one of the valid means
above, the contents of the string contained between the backquotes will
be executed and the output from that execution written in place of the
backquoted string.

foo$ echo You are currently logged into host `hostname`
You are currently logged into host foo
--

SH: Notice that  ``$'' which is used in the first paragraph consists
of two back quotes plus a ' and a ' equalling a '' whereas the other
symbols which appear in the explanation are just one symbol  and 
distinguish between functionality and appearance in the regex line

which would not (usually) come up in most textual contexts.
