Dear LYX developers, I love the LYX software, but there are just a few minor problems that I've not been able to resolve.
1) I'm writing a book and I would like to place example calculations in shaded boxes which are clearly delineated from the main text. Some example calculations are quite long so page breaks are needed. However, it seems that page breaks are only allowed with the "Box (simple frame, page breaks)" options. It would be great if shaded boxes could also include page breaks. 2) I have tried to convince my students and colleagues to switch from MS Word to LYX. The one troublesome point for most of them is that certain key style files are not available for LYX. A website that used to supply REVTEX4.1 is no longer working. Many journals supply LATEX templates, and for someone who knows both LYX and LATEX well, it should be possible to create equivalent LYX templates. These features would make wonderful additions to the 2.1 release. The second addition in particular would immediately boost your user base. Sincerely, Baron Peters
