Yes, that's what I was looking for, but I expected 'window (or

 I good way to figure out what the underlying

Ah, okay. I guess I was hoping for some kind of mini-settings file that

LyX has to be running for that to work. The syntax would be something like:

lyxrc-apply \converter from to command to run converter flags
I.e., what follows is the converter line you wish to add.

Note that you would then have to save the preferences, as well, since 
that does not happen automatically:

preferences-save
Not sure how much this helps, though, since the user has to have set up

In fact, now done as part of the pLyX system using the list sorting 
script. If your questionnaire is in the form of a two-level list, 
questions at the top level, multi-choice answers at the sub-level, then, 
in the pLyX way, placing a .sort list custom inset just before the 
list with the sort specification 2r in it (2 for the sub-level, r 
for random) and clicking the pLyX buttons will randomise each sub-level 
list of potential answers. If the list had some sub-sub-level 
multi-choice answers, the sort spec. 2r3r would do the trick. I'll try

Changing the dictum style in koma-script.

[Karl Richter-Trummer]

Dear Lyxers

I am playing around with the dictum style for my thesis. I am using the 
koma-script-book class, it gives me automatically a very basic quotation 
right after the headline:


this is a quote (author)

I read in the coma script guide, in section 3.17 the dictum is described 
as having a line between the quote and the author, it says this can be 
defined by


\newcommand*{\dictumrule}{\vskip-1ex\hrulefill\par}

When i insert this in my document it gives me the error of command 
\dictumrule already defined


I am not very familiar with latex and its integration, so maybe i am 
doing so kids-error?
