It could be some error in your *.bib database file. Try with a minimal example. Try with File>Export>LaTeX and running latex bibtex latex on the *.tex file "by hand" and watch the output. Günter
Re: Question on latext2html conversion of tables
Ross Moore (Maths dept, McQuarrie University) had fixed the bug in latex2html which was bodging tables. Unfortunately this fix was not carried through into some Linux distros. Current and recent versions of OpenSUSE have incorporated the fix into their downloads. The fix is quite simple and the patch is as follows: The latex2html program is a perl script. The patch needed is: -- latex2html 2006-01-13 17:48:27.0 +1300 +++ /usr/bin/latex2html 2005-03-23 06:49:49.0 +1200 @@ -5285,7 +5285,6 @@ elsif ($this_cmd) { push(@pieces, $this_cmd) } } push(@pieces, $after); + $within_preamble=0; } print " $replacements new-command replacements\n" if (($VERBOSITY>1) && $replacements); The line prefixed with the + must be inserted into the latex2html script.

Question on latext2html conversion of tables
Hello, I've posted this question to the latex2html list but got no answers. Basically, my problem is that latex2html does not transfer the content of the tables. The tables are there but they are empty. What to do? TIA -- myriam >From the cat's little instruction handbook: When in doubt, let your tail do all the talking for you.
Layout file for ASME conference paper
Hello Lyx users. I'd like to format a paper I wrote in Lyx for an ASME conference publication. The ASME provides a latex template, so I'm trying to use that template file in Lyx using Mac OSX 10.5 and Lyx version 1.6.5 with TexLive2009. So far I have copied the provided asme2e.bib, asme2e.cls, and asme2e.bst files to Library/texmf/tex/latex/asme in my local users home directory. I then ran a texhash from the admin account to include the latex file. So, my question is, it appears Lyx now requires a layout file. Unfortunately, I have no experience writing these, and the asme2e.cls file doesn't appear to have a base class, which makes this process difficult from what I can tell reading part 5 of the Lyx Customization manual. So, does anyone have an existing asme2e.layout file or can you point me to someone that does...or am I misunderstanding the apparent difficulty of writing a layout file from scratch? The relevant files for the template can be found here: http://iel.ucdavis.edu/code/ASME/conf-1.7b.html thank you very much for any potential advice you could give, Zack Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory University of California at Berkeley
Help with configuring BibTex in Lyx
Hello, My name is Greg and I have been a Lyx user for some time now. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and LyX version 1.5.3. I am trying to get started using BibTex in Lyx, but I am running into some problems. The citations only come up as [?] in my documents when I generate pdf's from Lyx. So far, here is what I have done: I have set the BIBINPUTS and BSTINPUTS environment variables to the folder where I keep my bib files. I created a Bibtex file and inserted it into Lyx with Insert-->List/TOC-->BibTex Bibliography. A gray box appears in my document that says "BibTeX Generated Bibliography", and when I go to put in citations, the keys that I have in my bibtex file appear, and I can put in citations that are in the .bib file. However, when I click the generate pdf button, the citations only come up as [?] in the document. I suspect that my problem may be that my TEXINPUTS variable is not set. I am not sure what to set it to. I believe the Latex packages I have installed are texlive. Could you possibly help me get Bibtex working? Thank you so much! Sincerely, Gregory Toole
Re: Lining up text and graphics in tables?
Hello. See the attached files lyx and tex. I began with the tex file and then this was imported to lyx; this is more easy for me. The command \renewcommand{\tablename}{Table} is because I work in spanish language. Regards. - Original Message - From: "Steve Litt" To: Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 7:05 AM Subject: Lining up text and graphics in tables? Ugh! I wanted rows with 3 columns. Column 1 is the name of the graphic. Column 2 is the graphic itself. Column 3 is a short explanation of the graphic. I used individual 1 row, 3 column tables to save room and make sure pages broke reasonably. Trouble is, no matter how I set cell alignment in any of the columns, the graphic always rises to the top, and the text (in other columns/cells mind you) always starts just below where the graphic ends, thereby costing a lot of space, looking ugly, and causing confusion. Does anyone have an idea how to get the graphic and text to line up correctly, vertically, within their respective cells? Does anyone have any idea what would cause the behavior I describe?

It walked waay off the right side of the page. Hmmm, but I didn't try the textwidth and hfill. Where would I place the \textwidth, and how would I back it out once all these triples are complete?

You can keep the LaTeX documentclass files in the TEXPATH but for this to work you need a LyX layout file. This (and how to write one) is explained in the Customization manual (Help>Customization). And, unfortunately, this class does not seem to be based on any other class. Still, the basic environments provided look a lot like article.cls, so you could try copying article.layout to your local layout directory, renaming it to acmtrans2m.layout, and then changing the configuration line to read: \DeclareLaTeXClass{acmtrans2m}. That might get you 95% of the way. rh
