getting closer to what I want for FloatNote
Greetings:
I am trying to still find a way to put a block of
shaded text that is also outlined, into a very
specific location in my text. This is what I have
done:
I made a few tables (in a separate Lyx file) using
only one column and different row amounts (the row
amounts are based on coming up with a width for each
line of text so that the widths are uniform between
tables).
I used the right click-cell-multicolumn option to
remove the lines between the rows and to left align
the horizontal rows.
I inserted TeX command to create shading (which goes
over the edge of my box...but then I may just lose the
table edges altogether and just stick with the
shading):
\definecolor{light}{grey}{.75}{\colorbox{light}{**table
here**}
I then cut and pasted them into my document. What I
get is the boxes looking very nice, but not in nice
locations. And I would prefer to have the text wrap
around them like in Section 1.8.3 of the Lyx Extended
Features online handbook.
If you have been following my posts, this is still my
attempt at FLOAT-NOTE. The other suggestions I have
not yet made work to my satisfaction.
Thanks in advance.
