Paragraph skip and TOC
Hi, Setting up a LyX document to block style (no paragraph indent, skip between paragraphs) also ends up affecting the Table of Contents, List of Figures, etc. The nonzero \parskip ends up getting used by @dottedtocline. I've gotten around this by putting the TOC, LOF, ... in their block and setting \parskip back to its default value inside that block. I was just wondering whether LyX should "insulate" the frontmatter lists from such document style choices. Matt -- Matthew Lovell HP Technical Solutions Lab mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

foilTex and figure floats
I am using foilTex to create a slide presentation. Some of my figures contain latex code so I want to use the combined PS/LaTex method of creating the figure. (for this I do not use foilTex but create a different document for these figures. My problem is that I don't want the word "Figure" to show up and sometimes not the caption either. One possibility would be to make it white but I don't know how to do this for the word "Figure" and in any case it would take up space that I might want for my figure. Any suggestions? Other problems with foilTex. 1) I would like to color my page numbers (a light color) so I can make them less obvious but I don't know how. Also, Is there a way to tuck the page numbers into a corner? I tried using fancyheaders but I guess I didn't do it right because I couldn't get page numbers to go to the corner. 2) I get crashes galore when I use foilTex, often with orphan windows. Part of the problem is a lack of resources on the machine I am using but lyx handles the difficulties ungracefully. Note that in article or book classes I can create 30 page documents but in foilTex 6 pages appears to be about it so I have to split my file. I assume this is because there are so many figures.

Bug in LyX 1.1.5?
I found the following bug, but I'm completely sure that is a LyX bug.
I'm writting a spanish text (Format/Document/Language/Spanish)
with a list item.
The text is the following:
Conexiones_no_persistentes. ...
The underscore represent a protected space. The dvi's page show
an n~ (ñ) instead a space.
Conexionño persistente. ...
If I try with default language works ok.
I exported to LaTeX and something like that appears:
\item [Conexiones~no~persistentes.]
The problem is that LaTeX interpret ~n like a ñ (n tilde), and
precede to protected space on lyxlist.
Sorry, but I can't sent to you a fix for that, just the error.
My document exported to LaTeX looks like:
\documentclass[12pt,oneside,spanish]{book}
\usepackage{pslatex}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{setspace}

This means using ERC to >bring in the file and use the command. Thanks for the tip, John. I found "plain.sty" and told LyX about it, by adding it to the chkconfig.ltx and doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx.in files, and running configure, but I don't know what you mean by "using ERC to..." I found the file "plain.tex" in the base directory, but what's the next step? LyX gives me an unknown command error, so I obviously haven't done enough yet. Thanks again for the help. Jim
Bug in LyX 1.1.5?
I found the following bug, but I'm completely sure that is a LyX bug.
I'm writting a spanish text (Format/Document/Language/Spanish)
with a list item.
The text is the following:
Conexiones_no_persistentes. ...
The underscore represent a protected space. The dvi's page show
an n~ (ñ) instead a space.
Conexionño persistente. ...
If I try with default language works ok.
I exported to LaTeX and something like that appears:
\item [Conexiones~no~persistentes.]
The problem is that LaTeX interpret ~n like a ñ (n tilde), and
precede to protected space on lyxlist.
Sorry, but I can't sent to you a fix for that, just the error.
My document exported to LaTeX looks like:
\documentclass[12pt,oneside,spanish]{book}
\usepackage{pslatex}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{setspace}
\onehalfspacing
\makeatletter
%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
\providecommand{\LyX}{L\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{Y}\kern-.125emX\@}
\newcommand{\noun}[1]{\textsc{#1}}
%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.
\newenvironment{lyxlist}[1]
{\begin{list}{}
{\settowidth{\labelwidth}{#1}
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}
\addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}
\renewcommand{\makelabel}[1]{##1\hfil}}}
{\end{list}}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{lyxlist}{00.00.}
\item [Conexiones~no~persistentes.]Problem.
\end{lyxlist}
\end{document}
On LyX appears as:
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.
Conexiones\SpecialChar ~
no\SpecialChar ~
persistentes.
Problem.
