a footnote in a footnote
At the moment I'm trying to demonstrate the power of TeX & LyX to an old friend of mine who plans to write a book. For that purpose, I have pasted a text (in french & latin) document of his, an try to shape it with LyX. My old friend is delighted by what he sees, as compared with his usual .doc. Now I have a problem : at some point of his text, there is a footnote that includes a footnote. LyX refuses to include footnotes in footnotes. I tried \footnotemark and \footnotetext, that doesn't work. Is there a LyX or LaTeX solution to that problem? I'm pretty sure my old friend will be sorry not to be able to switch to LyX, which doesn't let you have footnotes in footnotes...

DVI preview
Hi! My document is becoming larger and larger, so I read it is possible to use DVI to have quick previews. I tried it, but TeXShop is opened without showing anything. I tried previewing a guide with DVI and it works correctly. Is there any way to understand why my DVI preview is not showed? No error appears. Maybe the problem is that I have eps images? Thanks!

I don't think pdftex uses any external programs when handling common image formats like png, jpg etc. so I don't think there is any point at which I can control this. Looks like I'll just have to upgrade pdftex. cheers guy
Developing
Hi I need some information about the software architecture of Lyx. I am going to develop a new open source word processor. But I need some basic information about how to start it. Like software structure. I really appreciate you to give some information about that. Thanks in advance

Download it and look for yourself.

Sorry, Uwe, for unknown reasons - insufficiency of my newsreader? - I hadn't had your e-mails in the gmane.editors.lyx.general newsfolder, but now I found them in the inbox folder of this mail account (which I use only for news etc.), and your other postings in this thread as well. Downloaded your tufte-book.layout version, your example lyx and the .bib file and after reconfiguring LyX: … all went well, finally ! !

Re: Lost Logo in Beamer Class Presentation ... Again
Rich Shepard wrote: I've just finished the visuals for a meeting keynote talk I'm presenting this coming Friday. Once again the logo does not display in the lower right corner of each slide. I no longer have thread from last April, but I copied that presentation (where it finally worked) to use as the template for this one. The .pdf logo does not display in either xpdf or acroread. Any ideas on what might be going on or where I should look for a reason? Rich If it's not displaying on any slide, maybe the path to it is munged? Anything in the log file relating to it? /Paul

Ghostscript v8.15.1 on fc5 as called from epstopdf appears to fiddle with the image orientation unless the "-dAutoRotatePages=/None" option is passed to it. Once epstopdf is tweaked to supply this everything comes out straight.

Nice work, Vincent, but not the kind of thing you'd want to have to do
manually very often!
The best solution to this is to use the bigfoot package, which is
designed for critical editions. Among its many other features is its
ability to do footnotes within footnotes, so long as they are of
different "levels". (E.g., an editor's footnote inside a footnote in the
original.) See the attached, and note what's in the preamble.
It would be fairly easy to write a module for this kind of thing. You
have to be a bit careful how you use it, though, as I don't think we'd
have any way of preventing a B-note inside a B-note, which bigfoot will
not like.
