Re: Using German sort order with nomencl

 Hello,
 
 In a German language document I am trying to produce a nomenclature in LyX

 them to be listed among the entries starting with A, O or U respectively,
 so I changed the nomenclature command in Tools  Preferences  Output 
 LaTeX to makeindex -g -s mein_nomencl.ist; -g being the command to tell
 MakeIndex to use the German sort order and mein_nomencl.ist being a

 LyX compiles the nomenclature without any problems other than the wrong sort
 order if I use the standard nomenclature command. However, with my changed
 options it will produce a document where everything I wrote besides the
 nomenclature is printed, but the nomenclature is completely left out.
 
 Does anybody know an explanation for this behaviour? I would be very
 thankful for your help.

I don't know the solution to your problem. You might hit a general drawback of 
nomencl or makeindex, which should be replaced by the much better glossaries 
package (which supports xindy) eventually within LyX.

As to your problem. i suppose you know that you can work around the sorting

Side-by-Side Minipages on Beamer-class Slide

[Rich Shepard]

  I created two miniboxes with horizontal fill space between them in a
frame. Both miniboxes are sized to 45% page width, but the table on the left
does not display properly (see attached figure).

  A clue as to what I've done incorrectly will be much appreciated.

TIA,

Rich

Could the table be of fixed width?  Could it be bigger than the size of

I've had no trouble in the past with Beamer and miniboxes, but I have 
noticed that Beamer thinks a slide is 100mm across, or something oddball 
like that.
