I have the Math Options set to automatically load the esint package.

something like esint within Lyx.  For example, how does one write a 
double integral with a "D" (i.e. a generic 2D domain) centered beneath 
both integral signs?  Is there any non-opaque documentation anywhere 
that spells it out?


Much thanks,

To insert the \iint symbol, for example, you can either type \iint 
followed by a space in a math inset or select it from the math toolbar. 
It's in the "Big operators" group; the icon for the group is an integral 
sign, and it's on the upper of the two math toolbars in the default 
configuration.


To center a "D" beneath a double integral, start by clicking the "Frame 
decorations" group button (immediate left of "Big operators") and select 
the outline of a box with a smaller box underneath it (or just type 
\underset followed by a space in the math inset). Put the \iint symbol 
in the top box and the D in the bottom box.

Using esint package within Lyx environment

Can somebody explain how to implement the esint package style integral
symbols within Lyx?  In particular, I'd like to be able to use keyboard
shortcuts to create these nicer looking integration symbols with nicer
looking bounds of integration.

If you don't mind me asking an elementary question -- how does one 
make the 'language' usage consistent throughout a file?
We're one of the few serious publishing houses (doing 12-16 books a 
year) that uses Lyx for all its typesetting. Based in Goa, India. 
Would really appreciate any help or pointers from anyone on how to 
make our books more neat looking, specially with attractive chapter pages.

Frederick,

(Please bottom-post when using the lists.) I don't use multiple 
languages myself, so I can only speculate. The first thing I would try 
would be to select all the text (ctrl-A with the CUI key bindings) and 
then click the text style tool bar button and change the "Language:" 
field to either the language I wanted or "Reset".


Cheers,
Paul

Dear all:

I seem to be having a problem in generating a PDF of the table

Could you please tell me what could be the matter?


Many thanks, FN

You seem to have a mix of "English" and "English (UK)" (or
"British") in the tables, and switching to British triggers the
error message. The version I've attached, in which I switched it
all to "English (UK)" (which matches the document language
setting), compiles for me. I don't know why the language switching
runs afoul of paragraph breaks inside table cells.

HTH,
Paul
