Figure numbers & change tracking
I have encountered two problems (using Lyx 2.0.5.1, (L)ubuntu 12.10 64 bit): I wanted a frame around a floating figure. So I inserted a wrap-float, and placed a box in it, into which I pasted my graphics. Now when I refer in the text to the figure by its label, the figure number appears as Figure D, not Figure 3 as it should. I need to track changes and show the results in the pdf output. When I make ANY change to the figure and compile, I get a (to me nonsensical) error message, and the compilation stops. If I ACCEPT the changes I made to the figure, the error message disappears. Is this a feature? Thanks, Ehud Kaplan --

The best answer I have seen (in my humble opinion) is to use branches. This (quizzes/mult. choice questions) My crack at multiple-choice questions in LyX (not sure if it was an adaptation of some other document on-line) is attached. It uses the article class, customizable lists module and branches. Feel free to re-use it. I am looking forward though to some usable LyX layout to 'exam' class or similar. Most of all I'd like to be able to generate 2-3 versions of the same multiple-choice exam with randomized questions and answers. Does anyone know how to do this? Regards, Liviu Riding my particular hobby horses, generating a randomized selection looks like a candidate for a python script after the fashion envisaged in the pLyX system (http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Examples). Alternatively, there are random number macros and if-then tests in the LaTeX fp package (especially fp-basic.sty, fp-random.sty), although the documentation is minimal. These macros underlie similar macros, with good documentation, in the spreadtab package. (http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Modules points to a LyX module for using spreadtab with LyX.) Either method (I suspect you had thought of them already, and neither appealed) would involve quite a bit of initial work, although once done, would be easily adapted from one multiple-choice questionaire to another.

Can't answer your first question, but on gmane there is a yaml mailing list and also a beamer mailing list.
