On top of your document you can put that in ERT

\pagestyle{myheadings}
\markright{\jobname, le \today{}}

The first line tell latex that you want homemade headings. 
The second line creates a header on each right page

and choose headings in Format-documents
 
That will print in the header, the name of your file and the date 

Buying a introductory book for LaTeX is a good investment, especially if you
have deadlines.

Dave,

  The date is inserted by default. If you do not want a date on the title
page (book, article, report), then insert:

\date{}

in the document's preamble.

  I have that as the default for all document classes. On the rare occasion I
want TeX to insert the date, I remove it.

  BTW, if you're becoming addicted to LyX and LaTeX buy a copy of The LaTeX
Companion, 2nd Edition. It's a fascinating book to read and answers so many
questions. Very highly recommended.

Rich

lyx-code - date-insert

2005-10-13 Thread David Wolfson
hello lyx-list,

I've just subscribed having had a trawl through the wiki (but not found the 
answer to my problem), so  a quick intro seems in order. I'm currently trying 
to write up and engineering thesis in lyx, having migrated to linux for all 
but a few apps in the last couple of years. Having not had any trainning 
pre-se, I'm into ugly scripting hacks and a big fan of mailing lists (the 
local lug in nottingham is *very* active and really helpful). 

So far I seem to have got my various chapter documents interacting sensbily 
and a have been really impressed with the look of the documents (they're just 
laking text and that's my problem!). However, the more reading round I do and 
the closer to having to sort out final layout, the more I fear I'm going to 
have to start using ERT and the like, so I might be after some hint and tips 
to get going in the next couple of months...

Anyway, the first of these problems is with inserting a date. I do the 
occasion print out and would like to include the current date when I do . I 
found some of the lyx-codes described in the wiki, and by adding 
'date-insert' and formating as lyxCode I get the current date nicely in the 
page :-) However I then get a page with nothing but 'date-insert' after it!

Have I gone about this the right way? If so, how do I get rid of the actual 
lyx-code text?

I'm using Version 1.3.5 on madrake 10.1 community...

Thanks in advance for any help/advice,

Dave

It's been a while, but I think you'll need an ERT that contains 
\today{}
LaTeX will automaticall replace '\today{}' with the time the document is
compiled. You can place this command in headers/footers if you want it on
