Re: Duplicate references in nested figure and table floates

2012-04-07 Thread Paul A . Rubin
LaTeX maintains separate counters for each type of float, and cross-references use those counters. Since you put one table in a figure float (counter=1) and the other in a table float (counter=1), it is correct that both cross-references would be "1a". Using all figure floats would solve your pro

Re: Windows Installer could use work: must set miktex packages

2012-02-20 Thread Paul A . Rubin
I always set MiKTeX to "no" before a LyX install, but that's a personal preference. The cardinal objection I've heard to it as a default is that a new user might be confused when LyX "installed" but then couldn't open its help files or create new documents. The LyX GUI doesn't open until the confi

2011-09-17 Thread Paul A . Rubin
Hi, I'm trying to cobble together a module that would load etex.sty before xy.sty, which LyX automagically loads. The problem is that you can't use XY-pic with Beamer unless you load etex first. Since etex is apparently not a "feature" (in latexfeatures.cpp), "Requires" doesn't buy me anything. I

It seems rather odd that the (random) temp directory name is the same both times. Can you be more specific about your steps? When you double click the LyX file, does it open correctly in LyX? Is it View > PDF (pdflatex) that causes the error? When you start from a terminal, same questions: does
