And maybe the better option is looking in the table->layout->menu and
setting rotate 90° 'on' #:O)

Better yet submit them to the developers and get them included in the distribution. Of course this will require a little extra work from you because we want some documentation and a simple addition to the latex checking. This process should already be documented in Customization.lyx and there are several examples of the sort of documentation required in Extended.lyx. Allan. (ARRae)

try the package rotating:
\usepackage{rotating}
in your latex preamble. Than you can work with
\begin{sidewaystable}<-- in text-mode (red)
---your table or text here
\end{sidewaystable}<-- in text-mode (red)

combining portrait and landscape
Dear LyXers Here is my problem: I have a document containing tables, some of which fit on Portrait (vertical orientation) but with others fitting only in Landscape mode (large horizontal tables). How can I generate the PostScript version with the right combination of portrait and landscape modes? When I go in the "Paper Layout" menu, the "Portrait" / "Landscape" option has a global effect on the document (apparently).

Re: Theorems layout package update
Hi Bala, Thanks again, this package is great! It's exactly what I was looking for. It gives me good lyx theorem support for standard Latex formats. The layout files also act as nice templates so I can build my own Lyx layouts. -Henry Bala Amavasai wrote: > > Hi Henry, thanks for both your mails. Yes you were right in both instances.

I agree with you about the fact that it's poor hyperlinking. So have look at the latex2html doc: setting the correct options allows to have explicit hyperlinks on the figures and biblio refs numbers. In addition you may use the commands in html.sty to provide explicit textual hyperlinks. Thumbnail figures are a good idea as well. Regards -- Jean-Pierre
cross-reference and latex2html
Hello, I'm a lyx/latex beginner and I couldn't find any help in the archive. I'm wondering how I can make cross-references as "text links". Right now the cross-references turn out as "check boxes" when I use latex2html on my exported latex-file ... Any advice much appreciated, Pär

I'm trying to write special characters like an upside-down "?" and "!" in LyX. I mean just the spanish "¿" and "¡". If I just type it in like above the output is different. Any help is appreciated. Ciao, Ulrich

The fancyhdr makes what you want if you redefine the way the running headers
are constructed. From my report style preamble:
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{
\markboth{\thechapter.\ \textsc{#1}}{}} % number . chapheader text in small caps
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{
\markright{\thesection\ \textsc{#1}}} % number sectheader text in small caps
% markers style redefinition
\rhead[\fancyplain{}{\it\leftmark}]{\fancyplain{\rm\thepage}{\rm\thepage}}
%left header : chaptertitle on odd pages ,
%page number on even pages
\chead{} % empty center header
\lhead[\fancyplain{\rm\thepage}{\rm\thepage}]{\fancyplain{}{\it\rightmark}}
%right header : sectiontitle on even pages,
% page number on odd pages
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\renewcommand{\plainheadrulewidth}{0pt}
% rule control: no rules on chapter pages
This must be too complicated for your needs if you build a one-sided
document because of the fancyplain stuff (chapter are on fresh
odd pages, and we want only the page number without rule in that case).
It's a bit intricated, but I'm afraid you must
dig in this if you really want a particular page layout.

try Ctrl-Enter at the end of your title and write your subtitle in the
next line. If you want some vertical space between title and subtitle
than write "\vspace{1cm}" in texmode (red) before your subtitle starts.

section-names in headers?
I am using AMS srticle format, and thanks to some help from the group already have made some configuration changes to the section/subsection etc formats. A look through the mail archive suggests I would be better off using amsbook, but this is a paper, not a book, so the formatting on other stuff in amsbook is off for my current purposes. I now wish to have the headers display the section name on the left hand side, and the sub-section name on the right. I also want the \cfoot to have page numbers (I can manage this bit tho!). I have tried using \renewcommand and I have tried using fancyhdr, trying to adapt what I gleaned from instructions to changing the section/subsection previously from Herbert. But I can't get it to work. Can someone enlighten me on the easiest way to achieve what I want, using lyx or latex commands. Some help would be much appreciated. Thanks Tony
