float caption label for tables
Dear LyX users,
I need to change the caption label that LaTeX automatically supplies
for tables in floats. By default, the label is Table. I want it to
read, say, Tab. instead. I put
\renewcommand{\tablename}{Tab.}
into the preamble, but nothing happens--LyX compiles as before.
\renewcommand works in plain LaTeX--is there some sort of a conflict
in LyX? I wouldn't know where to start looking, because my grasp of
LaTeX is pretty basic.

I found it in LyX template. What is the difference between "Example" and "ExampleBlock" ? Till now I never used beamer, sorry if the answer is trivial. Sandor

However, it does not work with XeTeX but I guess I can live with that.

Whether you'll help us or not is still unknown :-) Hi Abdel, Just making sure there's no misunderstanding: I really meant this as funny remark, not as a critic of of the code. I program too, and not all of my public code is perfect either. It's just that in my projects I filter out such comments. Every project has its own culture; I just found it funny to read scary comments in the source code. That's all! If the code was so bad, the software wouldn't work in the first place. And, actually, most of the source files I browsed through had a readability far above what I am used to see in C++ code. And, finally, I was looking at the wrong place (see below). Within very little time after submitting my bug report, there was already a patch proposed for it. Then a discussion followed with another patch. Big thanks to Juergen Spitzmueller and Jean-Marc Lasgouttes. (This is how I know that I was looking at the wrong place). As I intend to start using LyX on a regular basis (given that the biggest show stopper for me was list handling, and once I figure out how to compile the code locally [something to do with missing "QChar"], that'll be in the past), I am likely to contribute back bug reports/suggestions/etc. But, hey, give me a chance... First, I will be more on the receiving end, as a user trying to catch tricks here and there. Yet, as I already have written a couple of theses, as well as some reports and papers with LaTeX, I might occasionally be able to help people with less knowledge than me on this list. I will also invite people (students being my primary audience) to use LyX. We'll see how it goes. Thanks to all for the quick help and feedback. Etienne -- Etienne M.

float caption label for tables
Dear LyX users,
I need to change the caption label that LaTeX automatically supplies
for tables in floats. By default, the label is "Table". I want it to
read, say, "Tab." instead. I put
\renewcommand{\tablename}{Tab.}
into the preamble, but nothing happens--LyX compiles as before.
\renewcommand works in plain LaTeX--is there some sort of a conflict
in LyX? I wouldn't know where to start looking, because my grasp of
LaTeX is pretty basic.
