Steve, I like your list of good things about LyX; but you have omitted what to me is the most significant: Try using Word to compile a long book with many illustrations, often with 3 graphics to a page. Word has a shocking reputation for using a master document with many child documents,

Re: Problem integrating a bibtex-style

Dear Sandro, this should be pretty straightforward. First of all, have you installed and used biblatex before? If not: http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex After you have downloaded, installed and tested biblatex (check your TeXLive distribution's package manager), you should download and install

Re: Problem integrating a bibtex-style

Dear Julio Thanks a lot for the help. Unfortunately, I'm getting an error message, when I want LyX to put out a PDF (as you can see in the attachment). The desired package is marked as installed, when I look in the TeX Live manager. Do you have a solution for that problem? Regards Sandro Am

I could backtrace the error to the use of "\href" in the definition of "\email" in "moderncv.cls". Nonetheless, hyperref seems to be loaded correctly. - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com On Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 2:16 PM, Julio Rojas
