Re: problem nesting enumerate lists
Actually, it's quite easy. The key is to make the continuation of (1) be a standard paragraph, but indent it so that it does not alter the numbering of (2). I hope this is clear: 1. [enumerated paragraph] item 1 (a) [indented enumerated paragraph] sub-item (b) [indented enumerated paragraph] another sub-item [indented standard paragraph] continue item 1 2. [non-indented enumerated paragraph] item 2.

Re: LyX for Mac OSX 10.6.7?
Err, sorry I don't understand how does CleanMyMac have any effect upon the content of the LyX wiki? The wiki entry for Mac points direct to an FTP directory for MacTeX (the package is 1.2Gb) others have suggested that there are smaller (streamlined) packages available but anyone looking at the LyX wiki isn't going to know that. We don't all have perfect knowledge. And if one wants to boast LyX is installed here on a MacMini Server with 8Gb and 1Tb of disk storage. And on a 120Gb Macbook Pro. The suggestion to link to the MacTeX homepage is a good one. (We had that link before, I believe; I'm not sure why it was changed.) At any rate, I've made some modifications. Feel free to edit some more if you like. (If you don't have it already, you can ask on the list for the password.) By the way, please bottom-post in this list.

Here is the complete instructions to solving this problem, for anyone who needs them: 1. change into directory /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin 2. type sudo ./texhash (and enter password) 3. open lyx, go to LyXPreferencesPaths PATH Prefix.

This looks to me like a workaround for a botched MacTeX installation. Take a look at: http://www.tug.org/mactex/2010/What_Is_Installed.pdf You should have a softlink at /usr/texbin that points to /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/universal-darwin. If not, then something went wrong, and I'd wonder whether you might encounter other problems down the road. I'd suggest checking to see that everything was installed where that document says it should be, and then opening System Preferences, clicking on the TeX Distribution button at the bottom, and ensuring that TeXLive-2010 is selected. If that creates the /usr/texbin softlink, then you should use that in LyX -- restoring the original list for PATH Prefix in LyX's preferences. If not, when you upgrade to MacTeX-2011, LyX won't know how to find it. BH

Did you see this thread? -- http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg84463.html My suspicion is that you really don't have MacTeX installed (at least not properly); otherwise, you wouldn't have a problem running texhash from the Terminal.
