Re: Book cover in LyX file
Hi all,
I'm replying to a year old reply because I think I finally found a better way
than the (excellent) way given me by the list.
Now that I no longer use \titlepage and \title and \maketitle and all that
stuff for the title, but instead use a combination of ERT and custom
environments, I'm free to put the cover before the title page. In such a
case, I'd make the cover page, the back of the cover, and the title page all
\thispagestyle{empty}, and I'd start numbering on the copyright page as ii,
and from page iii on I'd use \thispagestyle{fancy}. I'm pretty sure that will
put the cover on the front, but will NOT remove correct page numbering and
correct pdf contents jumping from the finished PDF.
I'll let you all know more in a few days.
Thanks

Re: LyX version 1.5.0 (beta 1) is released
Hi Georg, Russel, Andrés thanks for all your information. It will take me probably some days to do all the testing. I'll report on the special characters behaviour. Greetings from Munich Hellmut Georg Baum schrieb: ... I am not aware of problems with accented characters in 1.4, but they should be gone in 1.5 anyway. It would be nice if you could test that and file a bug report if not. Some Questions: * Can I install LyX-1.5.0beta1 in parallel to LyX-1.3.7? (generating manually from the sources probably) Yes. All you have to do is to compile from source and use the --with-version-suffix argument of the configure script, e.g. --with-version-suffix=1.5. Then it will use a different personal configuration directory, and the binary will be named lyx1.5. If you don't use that argument then LyX 1.5 will make your old configuration unusable for LyX 1.3.x. * Is there a converter from the LyX file format 1.3.7 to 1.5.0. (Looking at them with vi there are some obvious differences...) Yes. The converter is called lyx2lyx and used automatically, so you can simply open your old files in 1.5. You can also export them in the old format again, but that direction is not as complete as the conversion from 1.3 to 1.5. * Is Qt4 needed for LyX-1.5.0? Yes.
