Correct. They are similar in the sense that they are examples of ambiguity which could be eliminated by a simple rephrasing of the content. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com

Problems with DVI / PDF Export
Hallo, I use LyX 1.6.5 on a Mac OS X 10.6.3. Some of my documents can not be opened / exported as an DVI / PDF / PS document. Even dublicated documents, which work in the original, can not be exported as copy. They work as long as they stay in the origin folder, as soon as I copy the dublicated file to another folder, the export doesn't work anymore. Does anybody as an idea why? Thank you very much, Philip

Just put a label: Insert>Label, with whatever text you want. Then put a cross reference to the label where you want. Change the label and the cross-ref will change, too, automatically, though of course all the labels have to have different names. If you don't want the label to show in output, just put it in a note (Insert>Note>LyX Note). You can put the label in a note, too, if you really don't want it to be output. rh

It explains LyX's basic features like cross-references. If you already have read the Tutorial and it doesn't work, please report back and I'll help you to get it working. regards Uwe

Beamer introductory tutorial
Hi all, Here's my new Beamer introductory tutorial: http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/201005/201005.htm As I mentioned previously on Pub-Forum, LyX isn't included because I personally see no reason to use LyX for a presentation. In my personal opinion LaTeX better corresponds with a presentation than does LyX. However, those who prefer LyX can certainly gain benefit from this introductory tutorial. Thanks to all of you who helped me gain the information necessary to write this tutorial.

Sure, you can always rewrite a sentence in a way less idiomatic in order to avoid the problem. Alternatively, you could do the sensible thing and use a comma to avoid ambiguity in an otherwise perfectly normal English idiom. Enumerations are ubiquitous, and it's not unusual for items to be enumerated already to have embedded conjunctions. > The problem is not the commas, the problem is the desire to find > ambiguity and then to place blame. I don't see who it is that's supposed to be placing blame here. > A similar example for capitalization: No, these are not similar to the obviously common case of having conjunctions in the names of firms, in the way we refer to couples, and so on. "Jack and Jill" can refer to two individuals or to the couple "Jack and Jill"; while context sometimes makes the intent plain, in an enumeration with other conjunctions it might not be.

In every case the writer could reword the sentence to remove the ambiguity, as I demonstrated in an earlier post. The problem is not the commas, the problem is the desire to find ambiguity and then to place blame. It is childish, authors who engage in such practices are not wise for their ability to convey meaning, they are wise for their ability to draw attention to their own egos. A similar example for capitalization: I once helped my uncle Jack off a horse. I once helped my uncle jack off a horse. Or for pronunciation: He asked for a new display. He asked far a nudist play. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com Please CC me if you want to be sure that I read your message. I do not read all list mail.

My Gowers edition of Fowler discusses this. Fowler seems to think that the main point is to avoid ambiguity, so that you normally punctuate "A, B and C", but need a comma in some cases. The text concedes, however, that some people prefer to put the comma every time, for consistency, since it's sometimes needed to avoid ambiguity. This appears to be left as a matter of taste. (The reason not to do it, of course, is that in an enumeration the comma really stands for "and", so to add a comma before the "and" would be otiose.) Examples of ambiguity (again from Fowler): "Tenders were submitted by John Brown, Cammel Laird, Vickers, and Harland and Wolff." Without the comma after Vickers, you wouldn't know that the last firm to submit was "Harland and Wolff". "The smooth grey of the beech stem, the silky texture of the birch, and the rugged pine." Here, without the comma after birch, it would read as though both the birch and the rugged pine have a silky texture. If you think that the ambiguous cases like those above are common enough, and you want a consistent rule, then you should put the comma after B. Otherwise, you should only use the comma when you actually need it (and A, B and C would be the right way in that case). Isn't it nice to have rules that start with "it depends"?

Dear LyX user There is any chance of having a Customizable Symbol toolbar in future versions of LyX ?. In this panel could be added buttons with the most frequently used symbols. Actually, with some text editor it is possible to construct a panel with particular symbols, but this method is not good for beginer in LyX. Thanks sergio
