Thanks, now I understand what you meant.
Such a feature is indeed very useful when collaborating with plain TeX

Figure x: defaults set up
This has got to be simple, but how do I change the figure/table defaults, so I get Figure x. rather than Figure x: i.e. a full stop rather than a colon. This is with article class if that makes a difference. Thanks, Graham

Re: Can't sync LyX with Skim
Thanks for the great instructions. I put LyX in my TeX folder, but I customized the path in Skim preferences, so that's probably not the problem. (Just in case, I tried putting LyX back into /Applications, but that didn't seem to do anything. Okay, I ran the debugging program, and when I hit the key combo in Skim, nothing registers. There's no message at all. (I'm not using xdvi. It's not available for Mac. There's a Mac version, but it costs money to register it, and I've already got Skim, and blah blah blah. I have looked at the manuals, but to no avail.) -N

eLyXer 1.0.1 released
Hi all, Version 1.0.1 of eLyXer (the LyX to HTML converter) has been released. This incremental version features basic support for change tracking; better BibTeX parsing; and support for sizes in spaces, table columns and boxes. Changes include: --- - BibTeX: more robust parsing, specifically: correctly parse entries separated by commas. Support all TeX commands already available in math formulae. - Support for \textasciitilde: ~, \textasciicircum: ^ and a few other \text… symbols. Also, \textrm, \textsf and \textnormal should be working now in equations: a + roman + sans-serif + normal + b. - Improved support for custom horizontal and vertical spaces; absolute measures can now be used. - Support for sizes in table columns, figures and boxes. - Solved bug in --nofooter which required a dummy argument (thanks, Yan!). - Corrected box styling: div class=Frameless is now indeed frameless, while div class=Framed no longer has a double border. - Solved bug in text handling which separated consecutive centered lines with a space. - Basic support for LyX change tracking. --- Complete changelog: http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/changelog.html Download from nongnu.org mirrors: https://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=elyxer If the new version has not hit your favorite mirror yet: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases-noredirect/elyxer/ Thanks for your time, Alex Fernández.
Re: Can't sync LyX with Skim
