Suggestion: fixed preamble element for logical markup

Dear LyX-developers. Happy Holidays to you from Kansas! Would you consider making the preamble created by LyX more "predictable" from the settings, and less dependent on the actual content in the document? Recently I wished, while using Logical Markup module, that it would insert preamble code,

natbibapa module bug with beamer documents

I've been through the APA/natbib wringer today. With Beamer and Sweave, I have been using apalike and it is OK, but not perfectly accurate. Today I decided to try apacite.bst and that was a bad experience. I'm starting to conclude that apacite was a big mistake anyway, and we should just fix a

Hi Stephan: You are right. These are hard to find. I have been in this several times in last semester. I'm eager to see what the LyX developers say, but here are tricks I've learned. I bet one Euro we are talking either about "smart quotes" (angled " or ') . This happens a lot if I copy out of

Latin modern or any other one. I know that's not much, but I am sincere. I note your FAQ already admits that default LyX fonts make bad PDF. I will leave to others to discuss that. But the default typewriter font has to go. Paul Johnson -- Paul E. Johnson http://pj.freefaculty.org Director, C

Greetings I've found Xfig to be increasingly difficult to use on newer Linux systems and consider now using Inkscape. It seems to me I have to edit the same document several times in order to get changes to take effect. For some reason, the special flag on text doesn't stick the way it used to.

I'd like to automatically copy pdf output from the LyX temp directory back to the current working directory whenever I view a document, rather than separately Exporting from LyX. Possible? It seems like I ought to be able to fiddle a converter, but so far I've not found the correct syntax. --

How I'm using LyX with Sweave now

I know you work on Lyx and Sweave now and then and I appreciate the effort, but it is not exactly helping me to get my projects done. I figured if I explain what I'm up to, you might see how I can more effectively use the module setup in LyX. Or you might fix up LyX to do this more easily for me.
