Turing award
I see that Leslie Lamport (a "Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research") has won the 2013 Turing award. The announcement that I saw on the LaTeX3 mailing list includes the paragraph: Lamport's practical and widely used algorithms and tools have applications in security, cloud computing, embedded systems and database systems as well as mission-critical computer systems that rely on secure information sharing and interoperability to prevent failure. His notions of safety, where nothing bad happens, and liveness, where something good happens, contribute to the reliability and robustness of software and hardware engineering design. His solutions for Byzantine Fault Tolerance contribute to failure prevention in a system component that behaves erroneously when interacting with other components. His creation of temporal logic language (TLA+) helps to write precise, sound specifications. He also developed LaTeX, a document preparation system that is the de facto standard for technical publishing in computer science and other fields. After some of the discussions about parsing LaTeX (e.g. for round trips) on the LyX lists I confess this sounded like a spoof to me, but it does seem to be genuine (and worth $250 000). Andrew
Re: Accent on Lyx 2.0.2 (Ubuntu 12.04 & Spanish keyboard setting)
Hi Scot: Thanks for quick reply. For example: when I press accent + e, a normal e without accent shows up. My keyboard map settings are set to "Es" at the top right corner on the Ubuntu 12.04 Unity taskbar. About PPA, regrettably I have no access from here. Only repositories for Ubuntu LTS from my work. Meantime I'm thinking about to use the Windows version of Lyx. Hopefully when Ubuntu 14.04 finally released I will have access to the latest versión of Lyx from its repositories right? Thanks! José.

Re: footnote in table - too much vertical space in minipage
I think you need to do much of it manually. Have a look at the test.lyx.zip attachement at http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=7507 for one example of how to do it. BTW I agree with Uwe that table captions should be on top not on the bottom unless you are following some strange journal style.

Any suggestion? Without the footnote, the > caption is tight to the bottom of the table See sec. 4.2 "4Footnotes" of the EmbeddedObjects manual that you find in LyX's Help menu. By the way, note tat the common rule is to have table captions above the table while figure captions are below (look in any printed book or see the EmbeddedObjects manual that you find in LyX's Help menu). regards Uwe

For example, when you press accent + e, nothing shows up in LyX? Or it shows up but gives an error when you compile? Or a normal e without accent shows up? This works fine for me on Ubuntu. You might want to try the LyX Ubuntu PPA to try the latest version: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnUbuntu#toc3 Also, I've never had a need for it, but perhaps the keyboard map settings in Preferences > Editing > Keyboard/Mouse are relevant.

Accent on Lyx 2.0.2 (Ubuntu 12.04 & Spanish keyboard setting)
Sorry for my previous message with no subject. Using Lyx 2.0.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with Spanish keyboard setting. Until now I have not been able to write with accent. I'm still looking in many posts on the Lyx Forum and Internet but nothing. Strangely this is not a problem with Lyx 2.0.2 installation I use on Windows 7 where I can press the accent + vocal key and get the result with the speed that I desire. Any suggestions? Is this problem maybe resolved on Lyx latest version released for Ubuntu 14.04? Best regards.

Re: Endfloat: adding Tables and Figures bookmark(s) to ToC, pdf
The following seems to have solved the problem:
[in LaTeX preamble]
\usepackage[heads,nolists,tablesfirst,nomarkers]{endfloat}
\AtBeginTables{\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Tables}}
\AtBeginFigures{\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Figures}}
[in the body]
Choose [H] / "Here definitely" in the table settings

Blue lines and texts in Lyx
Hi I don’t know what I have done wrong but for some time now, every times a open a new document in LYX, everything I type is in blue with a blue underlining and a blue vertical bar on the left side. Also little symbols in the shape of _| appear at the end of each line after a carriage return Old documents (or documents from colleague) open correctly however, and I can edit these without any problem. At first I thought that the problem was that the text belonged to a different langage than specified by the document but I put everything in the same language (preference, document etc..) to no avail. Then I unmarked the « mark foreign » command. Again to no avail. Thinking my Version 2.0.6 was corrupted, I downloaded the new version 2.0.7.1 and when I launched and opened a new document, everything in blue again. I am starting to suspect the problem is elsewhere. Can somebody help me ? ^^^ Gilles DUCHARME Professeur Institut de mathématiques et de modélisation de Montpellier (I3M) cc 051 Universite Montpellier II

bst file not in tar.gz archive
Hallo, Lyx users, I thought the bibtex style file is also exported into the tar.gz archive, but lately I did not find it. Since it is important for the receiver of the archive (without it the references and citations might be missing), it would be good to have it included. Wolfgang
