Figure labeling - format question
Hi... I've just noticed something that has apparently been this way for some time, but now that I've noticed it bothers me. :) I have several documents, just for personal and informal use, that use the "report (koma-script)" style. In the printed output, the captions of figures and tables read, "Figure 1.1.: Blah..." Notice the ".:", which looks odd to me. (Is it a standard, somewhere?) Was this layout designed that way intentionally, or is something wrong here? More to my immediate benefit, how may I change this behavior? I know little of TeX except what I've picked up from this list, but I expect there's one little line I could put in the preamble or near the top of the document(s) to solve this... at least I hope so. :) (LyX says it is "Version 1.1.4 of Thu, Feb 3, 2000", which I compiled here from a SRPM. I don't have info on "scrrept.sty", but its header says, "Copyright 1994-1997 Markus Kohm and Frank Neukam.")

You should be able to achieve something of the sort by doing this:
1. In the Math Editor, type out "f(x)=x*2" (or \times or \cdot or
whatever).
2. Now, go to the Math Panel and open the Delimiters dialog; set the left
and right delimiters to whatever you need, and hit Ok.
3. Within the delimiters you just inserted, insert a Matrix with however
many rows and columns you want... in your example above, you'd probably want
two columns so you could left-justify your terms, but you could just use one
column if you're not picky. The delimiters will grow to surround the entire
matrix. You can even nest matrices; they look odd in LyX, but the printed
output will still be nice.
Have fun,

Hi...
Yes, this is a reply to a pretty old message, but I've found nothing
any more helpful in the archives, so...

This is a `feature' of LaTeX. This is handled by the moreverb
package. Something like the following in your preamble should help
[not tested]:
\usepackage{moreverb}
\renewcommand
\let\verbatiminclude\verbatimtabinput
Ok, I tested it, by trying to use it with my LyX version 1.0.3, and it
does not work. :( If I include this exactly as it appears above in my
preamble, I get 6 LaTeX errors referring to undefined control sequences. I am
guessing (though I know no (La)TeX) that something should be after the
"renewcommand", as in every other instance where I've seen it used, a bunch of
stuff in {} follows, but not here.
Can someone tell me what's missing? I'd find this very useful for
printing out my programming labs, among other things. :)
(I won't even ask about algorithm floats; I'll just wait until their
use makes it into the documentation! ;)
I also tried a suggestion from Christopher Sawtell, that one use the
following (with \usepackage{verbatim} in preamble) to include a file:
\verbatiminput[tabstop]{filename}
However, trying such things as "\verbatiminput[4]{/home/blah/file}"
doesn't seem to do anything for me; this appears as
\latex latex
\backslash
verbatiminput[4]{/home/rassilon/proj/csc234/craps.cc}
...and does nothing -- except that everything after "verbatiminput["
actually appears in the document.
I am now quite confused, and am off to simpler pursuits, like learning
gnuplot. ;)
Any help appreciated,
