Nested enumerate in columns
Dear All Some time ago, Herbert provided here an example for me to achieve the following enumerate environment in columns: (a) First item; (c) Third item; (c) Second item; (d) Fourth item. Now, I am trying to obtain a nested enumerate environment in columns as shown bellow: 1. A line of text. (a) First item; (c) Third item; (c) Second item; (d) Fourth item. 2. Another line of text. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Paul
Re: Nested enumerate in columns
Hello See file attached, you'll need multicols package I got some trouble with this before I always put the \begin {multicols}{2} on an empty standart line wich is at the same level as the enumerate which is to be in multicols.

Lyx and CVS
Hi, while writing my master thesis, i started to use cvs to track changes in the text, pictures, measuremet results ... . Inside of my thesis i want to use the cvs version or revision tags (on the titlepage, or in the page headings/footer). Is/how it possibe to query cvs automaticly before printing the thesis, which number/tag is actual used in cvs, and insert this result into the text before printing starts? -- Thanx Roland P.S.

problems with lyx via fink
Hi there, I've been working for some months now with lyx, in my office, on a gentoo-gnome environment, and it's just so fun to work on it, that I decided to make also my school works on it. My problem is, that during the weekends I only have acces to an iBook with MacOsX version 10.3.5, and I tried to install lyx with fink, It was all ok, I even got lyx up and running, but when tried to open a document, it displays the folowing errors. Textclass error The document uses an unknown textclass article --substituting default. and Textclass error The document uses a missing TeX class article LyX will not be able to produce output. I installed all the Tex, tetex, and latex, possible dependencies, I also uninstalled lyx and tried the qt version, and it still shows that error. Also, when I go to the layout/Document_Settings screen, on Document Class it sais Unavailable:article. And on view, there isn't displayed the usual DVI, HTML, PDF, etc. options. On the X11-term, even if I try to open a book format document, I get a list of: Layout 'Chapter' does not exist in textclass 'article'. Trying to use default layout instead. I haven't seen on the lists this problem yet, and I tried to search on the manuals but right now havo no clues. Can anyone point me to the right documentation? I thank your help best regards Emiliano Ricci
Error message truncation
First time submission so apologies if this does not work as I imagine. I have searched the mailing list under aspell/English, dictionary fedora (and some variations) and error message truncation without locating a reference to my my problem. I suspect that my personal filing process is aberrant which often leads to poor outcomes to my queries. I am running Fedora Core #1 and not sure how to determine which version of KDE (likely pretty much what came with the distribution). Lyx 1.3.5 compiled and is up and running however I cannot get the Spellchecker to work. It tries, but gives the following message (which looks to be truncated). The file '/usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60/english can not be opened for re'. Looks like the message box does not wrap the text around to see the last part of the message. Any clarification of the message (or other relevant guidance ---a pointer to other user communications about the same problem, perhaps?) would be much appreciated. (I did have ispell working (previous Lyx version, running on RH7.1 as I recall) but lost it when upgrading to present version of Linux. I therefore loaded it up again after the new version of Lyx could not find any aspell/English file. If relevant, the Thesaurus does function.) -- Bruce E Weller
Fwd: LyX on Live CD for Mac?
My sister is writing her Phd using Word on a Mac but is having some difficulties that I think LyX would solve. Unfortunately she has an early version of OS X and doesn't want to upgrade until her Phd is finished. Do you know of a good Live CD dist. for Mac, with LyX included? and do you have any tips for importing her work to LyX? BTW. I'm using LyX to write a maths paper and a book -- v. cool. -- Nick
