Re: [lyx-users] Where to find the 'broadway' stuff.

Small glitch in View dvi?

Table/Figure numbering
Hello, It was probably discussed somewhere but I was not able to find it. For my thesis, each figure/table has to be numbered in the following fashion: Y-X, where Y is the chapter number and X is the figure number in the chapter. I need to be able to cross-reference to the table/figure and the list of figures/tables has to follow the same format. Is there a way of doing it? Thank you

Just another data point...I'm running tetex on debian slink i486, and have
just compiled lyx 1.0.2. On a reasonably complex latex document (3 passes
through lates, 1 pass through bibtes, and some hand latex code), I *have
not* observed the bug. Using view dvi, changing the document and the using
both update or view dvi again shows the changes.
Changes have include adding and deleting text, and adding and deleting a
bibtex reference. The latter was done using \citep{blah}, with natbib.
Also, I'm viewing the document using Xdvi.

Table/Figure numbering
Hello, It was probably discussed somewhere but I was not able to find it. For my thesis, each figure/table has to be numbered in the following fashion: Y-X, where Y is the chapter number and X is the figure number in the chapter. I need to be able to cross-reference to the table/figure and the list of figures/tables has to follow the same format. Is there a way of doing it? Thank you

I was writing a message to report the same problem! I am running on a sparc using solaris 2.6. When I click update dvi I see the message, Running Latex and a second later it says Done, but no Latex run 1 and Latex run 2 messages like in 1.0.1. When I look at the dvi file, no changes appear. I reinstalled 1.0.1 and the problem was gone. -Mario

My text is "justified" on both sides by default. (i.e., the text is spaced so that each full line takes the same amount of space, like the text I am writing right now ). In the margin I get the same behavior, but that is not what I want ... (what I want the margin to be left justified, like this paragraph..., with no extra space between words/characters) help!

I run lyx -dbg 128 for latex debugging. The first time I run view dvi,
latex runs fine. Then I
make some change, click update dvi and this is what debugging tells me,
makeLaTeXFile...
Validating buffer...
Paragraph: 2971688
LyX needs the following commands when LaTeXing:
* Packages:
* Macros:
\providecommand{\LyX}{L\kern-.1667em\lower.25em\hbox{Y}\kern-.125emX\@}
* Textclass stuff:
* done.
Buffer validation done.
TeXOnePar... 2971688
SimpleTeXOnePar... 2971688
SimpleTeXOnePar...done 2971688
TeXOnePar...done 0
makeLaTeXFile...done
Dependency file exists
return no_change

What did I miss? I tried it, and at first didn't think it was working, but then I realized you don't see anything at all until you click the down arrow in the dialog box. (The first entry isn't offered as a candidate, so the dialog box is empty when it comes up.) Also, I don't know what you mean by "tried ... as usual", but just in case: make sure you've got your .bib listed as the "database" in the BibTeX references area at the end of your document, and have your BIBINPUTS & BSTINPUTS defined as needed. Sorry if I'm not telling you anything you didn't already know... Bobby Bryant Austin, Texas p.s. -- If any developers are reading, it would be nice to have it display a longer list when you do click the arrow. I only see 4 in the scrolling area, and there must be thousands to choose from in my .bib file.
Re:Small glitch in View dvi?
Hello all,
Just another data point...I'm running tetex on debian slink i486, and have
just compiled lyx 1.0.2. On a reasonably complex latex document (3 passes
through lates, 1 pass through bibtes, and some hand latex code), I *have
not* observed the bug. Using view dvi, changing the document and the using
both update or view dvi again shows the changes.
Changes have include adding and deleting text, and adding and deleting a
bibtex reference. The latter was done using \citep{blah}, with natbib.
Also, I'm viewing the document using Xdvi.
Regards,
Rod Pinna
