Thanks! Jack wrote me to see if his problems could be fixed; as it
turns out he was using a severely outdated version of eLyXer, due to a
confusing download page on Savannah (which has been fixed since). I am
in correspondence with him now, and trying also to get him to

Using document title and author in fancyhdr

[Stefan]

Hello,

I am trying to use the title  author of the document as heading on 
every page. I am using article style  fancyhdr package.

I am using the command \lhead{\title} \rhead{\author} in the preamble, 
but this leads to empty headings (probably because in the preamble 
those are not filled yet). Is there any way to delay expansion of the 
\title and \author macros until shipout time at which point they have 
the right values?

Alternatively, does anyone else know an elegant solution that allows 
me to put the title and author of a document into heading? 
Needs to be automatic - no good to explicitly having to put it there

Thx a lot!

If the problem is that you don't want to enter the author name two times,
put this in the preamble:

\newcommand{\myauthor}{Author name}
\newcommand{\mytitle}{Title text}

\lhead{\mytitle}
\rhead{\myauthor}

In the author field in the document, insert a tex-box and type
\myauthor
Similiar for the title, where you type \mytitle in a tex box.

Maybe not so elegant on screen, but yields perfectly good output.
If you make a document template, then you won't have to make those
tex boxes all the time. You just set author and title in the preamble,
that's it.

screensaver kicks in, keyboard doesn't send events to lyx?

[Jose Quesada]

Hi,

This is really weird.
When the screensaver kicks in, my keyboard doesn't send events to lyx (?)
If I select another window, kb works. Then I go back to LyX and everything
is fine again.
Anyone can report similar weird results? Workaround?
Ubuntu 9.10, LyX 1.6.4

Best,

I can report a similar issue, it happens sometimes.
Here with compiled 1.6.5 and 2.0.0svn LyX versions on Ubuntu 9.10.
I don't know a workaround. Perhaps it's a qt issue?

pgf shapes.arrows and connecting two points

[Micha]

This is more latex than lyx but I was hoping someone here knows the answer

I'm trying to see if it's possible to connect two points on the graph with the 
pgf fancy arrows from the shape library. That is

\node at (1,1) [double arrow, fill, color=green!70!black] {arrow};

I managed to put an arrow at a point (1,1 at the previous example) but I don't 
see how to get each end to rest at a give point (I need a path and not a point). 
Is it even possible, and if so, is it possible to do it with 90 degree bends? i.e
