With LyX 1.6 on Debian.

Whenever I want to navigate to a figure float (from both, the Navigate>List
of figures and via the go-to-mark button from the insert cross-reference
dialogue), I land somewhat below the figure.

In longer documents with a lot of figures, the position is off more than
a screen-hight (up to 3 times). I do not see the inteded float and
only have to guess the direction to go (mostly down).

Did anyone else experience this "feature"? It is a real show-stopper for
my thesis work.
(I cannot reproduce it with the User Guide, as there are almost no
figures.)

Yes, I can confirm that behavior in Lyx 1.6.0 in OpenSuse 10.3, Windows 
XP an Vista. Very annoying but still all versions work pretty steadily 
without any crashes for me.

yes you can, guidance for latex macros is even part of the ISO standard for Z
syntax.

But looking for excuses does not really help beyond seven years or so...

(Slightly OT): Can't install texlive on gentoo system

2008-11-26 Thread Hellmut Weber

Hi,
I'm trying to install LyX (my most important tool !;-) on my new system
(Lenovo T61, gentoo-Linux, KDE-3.5.10)

I saw several mentionings of gentoo systems, so I hope somebody can give 
me help.


Although I'm working as root merge of texlive-core crashes with the 
error report:

I don't see what's going wrong, any help appreciated.

The same for me (as Niklas): "very" stable LyX 1.6 under Ubuntu 8.10,
navigation to floats (figures) always ends-up (always did in all
versions I've used) below the figure.

(Slightly OT): Same happens with tetex on gentoo system

2008-11-26 Thread Hellmut Weber

Hi,
next try was tetex with essentially the same result.

Anybody understanding what's happening?

Without LyX I can't do my work which is in big part production of 
documents of all types.


(On my old machine LyX-1.6.0 now works like a charm, every day I 
discover new (for me) features which make live easier.

Thanks to all of you!

Hellmut

this has nothing to do with lyx and best help you can get is on gentoo bugzilla.

Equation numbering

2008-11-26 Thread Paulina Restrepo

Hi,

I use Lyx 1.5.1 on Mac OS. Right now I have all my equations numbered  
but the label appears to the far right
of the equation, I'm wondering if its possible to make the label  
appear at the far left of the equation.


Thank you very much for your help,

Paulina


Re: Equation numbering

2008-11-26 Thread Neil Hepburn

HI Paula

Piece of cake.  In LyX, go into Document -> Settings. On the "Document  
Class" page there is an area for class options. Put leqno in the  
custom options box and it will use the leqno LaTeX option which puts  
equations on the left.

Get the chapter/section/subsection numbering as "frame-notes"

2008-11-26 Thread Nikos Alexandris
Hi all!

Is there any quick-hack to *move* chapter/section/subsection numbers off
the main text-body, e.g. move it to the frame (well... left from the
main text)?

Something like...

1  Title of Chapter 1"

   This is chapter 1 - This is chapter 1 - This is chapter 1

2  Title of Chapter 2

   This is chapter 2 - This is chapter 2 - This is chapter 2

2.1This is Section 2.1

2.2.1  This is SubSection 2.2.1


Kind Regards, Nikos
