Line spacing in author
Hi I'm trying to change the line spacing in the author environment (in a report). Lyx shows the change perfectly, but when I view it in pdf or dvi the line spacing setting is ignored. Even when I try to insert vertical spaces they are partly ignored. Actually the size of first vertical space in author is used for the second one, and no space is shown where the first one is. Also, try making the first one a VFill and the document won't compile. -- Rune author_spacing.lyx Description: application/lyx

Nomenclature
Hi I'm trying to make a nomenclature list, however, does some strange things. If I put a nomenclature (MS) in a section environment then the list becomes: LC Liquid Chromatography, page 13 MS MASS SPECTROMETRY, page 8–10 MS MASS SPECTROMETRY, page 11 MS MASS SPECTROMETRY, page 12, 13 MS Mass spectrometry, page 1 MS Mass spectrometry, page 8 PTM Post Translational Modification, page 14 Some of it is quite nice, but It really should only contain one entry for MS. MS Mass spectrometry, page 8-13 I don't why it writes the entries in upper case, why it separates page 11 out instead creating the 8-13 range, or why it also includes a reference to the TOC (page 1). I have also tried inserting the same nomenclature (DDA and ESI) several time in a standard environment, to see it was able to make a range then: DDA Fragmentation method for mass spectrometry, page 6 DDA Fragmentation method for mass spectrometry, page 15, 16 ESI Electrospray Ionization, page 9, 10 ESI Electrospray Ionization, page 11 But as you can see, for some reason it does not write 6, 15, 16 for DDA and 9-11 for ESI. -- Regards Rune

Re: Personal dictionary
Paul A. Rubin skrev: Rune Schjellerup Philosof wrote: I'm not sure if it's that simple on Windows. On Windows, Aspell can be installed either for all users or for the user logged in during the installation. I think the location of the personal dictionary depends on which choice was made (although I'm not 100% sure of that). for all users ought to only change which users see the program in the start menu and whether registry entries are added system wide or user wide. Then of course you need administrator rights to install for all users and you would normally install in a directory where only the administrator has rights to write. I don't think it should change where the personal dictionary would be placed. I agree that the installer should recognize that, even when other files go into a common location for all users to share, personal dictionaries should be personal. I just don't think the installers necessarily do recognize that. On the system I'm using just now (XP home), I actually have two personal dictionaries, as an artifact of some previous installation misadventures. One is located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Aspell\Personal, the other in C:\Aspell\Personal. (In earlier versions of LyX, we had to install the full Aspell program, and it had to be in C:\Aspell because the absolute path was hard-coded into LyX back then.) In both cases, the file name is en.pws (and there is an associated file en.prepl). The file name will differ if you are using, say, a Danish dictionary. If you install Aspell for one user rather than all users, change All Users in the path above to your login name. I'm not sure if this stuff is in the same location on Vista, but I know Vista has Documents and Settings directories somewhere. I have just checked it thoroughly, and the personal dictionary is placed in C:\ProgramData\Aspell\Personal, which is very stupid. So why is this stupid someone might ask. Well: - First of all, this makes it a global dictionary for all users, not that personal. - Second, users are for some stupid reason allowed to create files in \ProgramData and subdirectories, but only the creator is allowed to change the files. Which I assume could create some security issues, and some general anoyance. - Third, since the first users becomes the owner, this is the only one allowed to change the file. But because of some fucked up Vista filesystem, programs not designed for Vista does not recoqnize that they are not allowed to write the file, and they just write it.

I think this is a sane default:
When the table becomes so wide that it would not fit the page (or the user set
width) then {
avail_width - calculate the available width (maybe user set);
too_large_columns - amount of table columns;
max_width - avail_width / too_large_columns;
while next column width max_width OR column width is user set {
// don't want to make small columns wider
too_large_columns--;
avail_width - avail_width - this column width;
max_width - avail_width / too_large_columns;
}
restrict columns that are wider than max_width to max_width;
}
Or do it like firefox handles tables (it is a bit different, but similar).
