2005-06-21 Thread Janus Sandsgaard
Hi there I am writing my master thesis using Lyx. So far I am happy about it, except from a few BibTex-related problems that are quite critical: 1) When trying to compile the Lyx-doc (show as PDF); I get an error message if the title or author fields contain Danish characters such as æ, ø and

Oh, I forgot: In my bibliography I always get the titles in lowercase letters (e.g. "New gm crops - new debate"). This is the way it should be in most cases, but sometimes I need to be able to have a title like: "New GM crops - new debate". How do I do that? I am sure there is some kind of

Rich Again not quite sure this will work for you but one way around it is to create the lists in minipages in lyx. These minipages can of course be aligned top bottom or middle. This does mean of course that they are separate blocks. I suppose you could get multiple columns in one block
