Re: how to insert a label of a figure?

Hi all,

I have solve this problem by restart the lyx application... Then the
number shown in the Yap goes well. Thank you for your attention

However I still can not get a default 'fig:' content of the label,
which is 'cap:' now... So everytime I have to change it manually?

Unless you want to use relyx then you don't need perl.

I suggest you go and get tex2lyx (info on the wiki) and forget about perl 
all together

It makes no difference what the caption begins with, so just go on using 
cap: for figures.

Footnote in the caption of a figure float

How can i put a footnote in the caption of a figure float?? When i do 
this, the footnote don't appear.


Thanks.

How can I add unnumbered chapter into the automatic table of content?

[Leon Chen]

Hi,

The TOC automatically generated by lyx is very helpful. But it will
not include the unnumbered chapter, or section.

I used BOOK class in my thesis, but there is no such 'abstract',
'acknowledgements' 'appendix' 'user guide' formats in it. So I use
unnumbered chapter (Chapter* ) to title these sections.

It works fine, but the shortcoming is that they will not appear in the
TOC, the same situation happens in Bibliography.

Any comments for this? Maybe I can hand in thesis just with the TOC
without those sections, but I just want to be perfect.

Thank you for your attention.

Questions.

[Geoffrey Lloyd]

Hi

It is becoming apparent that many questions on this list are being 
repeated and some are quite sraightforward for want of a better phrase.


Could I suggest that before a question is posted the following things are 
done


1) Read the wiki
2) Search the mailing list archives
3) Try google to see if there is already an answer on the web

Also I recommend every user to get a good handbook on Latex as most 
queries are more Tex than Lyx.


Please don't get me wrong, I am not forgetting what it was like to be 
puzzled by Lyx/Latex, and I am as guilty as the next man when it comes to 
asking 'obvious' questions.


All I am saying is that in my experience I have learnt more by playing 
about and finding the answer by research, and using the list as a last 
resort. Mainly as it opens upo things I never knew about extending my 
perception of Latex's power.


However if you do have questions post away as I am happy to help out as 
best I can (as many people may already be aware) as are others on the 
list with vastly better knowledge than me. And sometimes when the 
thesis deadline is looming spending hours trying to find out how to move a 
title or include a footnote is not condusive to the stress levels and 
the list is a useful 'quick fix' source!!!


I hope this is read in the manner intended.

CAS in LyX!

[Rudi Gaelzer]

Hi.  I've just noticed that LyX 1.3.6 has now support for some Computer 
Algebra Systems (Octave, Maxima, Mathematica and Maple are the ones listed in 
Edit - Math - Use Computer Algebra System.

This is a most awaited feature, and I often wavered between LyX and TeXmacs 
because, although I'm much more used to the first, only the second has been 
providing this resource.  If LyX is now providing support for CAS (specially 
the free ones), it's just great!  That combined with the really cool feature 
of dynamic rendering of printer-quality mathematical symbols could make me 
keep on using LyX till the end of eternity!

Congrats for you guys that are integrating these really useful features into 
LyX.

However, it seems that there's no reference for the use of CAS in LyX either 
in the User Guide or in the Extended Features guide.  Where can I find a 
tutorial or something like that?

Thanks.

Wrong numbers of table

[jcornuz]

Hello,

First, thanks a lot for Lyx. I have used it for a 60 pages essay and it
has helped me concentrate on content rather than page breaks :-)

However, now that I am getting near the end and checking details out, I
noticed that I get the wrong table numbers when I export a pdf file. The
navigation menu gives me a correct output (table 1, 2, 3) BUT the list of
table is table 2, 3, 4 and the tables are always referred in the (pdf) text
as 2, 3, 4.

I guess noone will notice the problem (...) but I would still be happy to
find a solution, if someone has an idea?

Best,

Joël

Wrong numbers of table

[jcornuz]

Hello,

First, thanks a lot for Lyx. I have used it for a 60 pages essay and it
has helped me concentrate on content rather than page breaks :-)

However, now that I am getting near the end and checking details out, I
noticed that I get the wrong table numbers when I export a pdf file. The
navigation menu gives me a correct output (table 1, 2, 3) BUT the list of
table is table 2, 3, 4 and the tables are always referred in the (pdf) text
as 2, 3, 4.

I guess noone will notice the problem (...) but I would still be happy to
find a solution, if someone has an idea?

Best,

Joël

$\displaystyle...$

[Carlos Knauer]

Hello !
 How can I use the command $\displaystyle...$ in Lyx ? I would like to write 
an equation with exponents (up and down). For example: I would like to write 
The summatory $\Sum_{i=1}^n V_i$ is... but in Lyx. How can I do it ?
 Thank you,

Inside math mode, write

Re: how to insert a label of a figure?

[Leon Chen]

Hi all,

I have solve this problem by restart the lyx application... Then the
number shown in the Yap goes well. Thank you for your attention

However I still can not get a default 'fig:' content of the label,
which is 'cap:' now... So everytime I have to change it manually?

Re: lyx 1.3.6 win32: perl on xp?

[Geoffrey Lloyd]

Unless you want to use relyx then you don't need perl.

I suggest you go and get tex2lyx (info on the wiki) and forget about perl 
all together

Hello all!

Congrats for successfully completing the Windows port of LyX!

I just installed it. Great :) (if I don't change the default path)
However I could not install pearl. No matter which version I try
to install, I only get a "wrong os" error message. I am using Win XP.
(Although I would rather use Mac OS X *g*)

It makes no difference what the caption begins with, so just go on using 
cap: for figures.

It does make a difference if you use prettyref. I just added this in

How can I add unnumbered chapter into the automatic table of content?

[Leon Chen]

Hi,

The TOC automatically generated by lyx is very helpful. But it will
not include the unnumbered chapter, or section.

I used BOOK class in my thesis, but there is no such 'abstract',
'acknowledgements' 'appendix' 'user guide' formats in it. So I use
unnumbered chapter (Chapter* ) to title these sections.

It works fine, but the shortcoming is that they will not appear in the
TOC, the same situation happens in Bibliography.

Any comments for this? Maybe I can hand in thesis just with the TOC
without those sections, but I just want to be perfect.

Thank you for your attention.

   I forgot to add the placement location: immediately after the Part 
command,

on a separate line in standard environment. When used with a chapter (in my
case, the un-numbered Preface), the ERT is at the begging of the text line
immediately following the chapter heading.

Re: How can I add unnumbered chapter into the automatic table of content?

[Leon Chen]

Thank you, and I have figured out how to do  it.

Just add ERT in the content page,  with
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract} .

In fact it can be found at http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Unsorted

One thing, should we use the {} instead of () ?  I have tested and ()
will not work

Sorry, should be:

Just add ERT in the THE PAGE YOU PLACED UNNUMBERED CHAPTER,  with
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract} .

not the content page.

Questions.

[Geoffrey Lloyd]

Hi

It is becoming apparent that many questions on this list are being 
repeated and some are quite sraightforward for want of a better phrase.


Could I suggest that before a question is posted the following things are 
done


1) Read the wiki
2) Search the mailing list archives
3) Try google to see if there is already an answer on the web

Also I recommend every user to get a good handbook on Latex as most 
queries are more Tex than Lyx.


Please don't get me wrong, I am not forgetting what it was like to be 
puzzled by Lyx/Latex, and I am as guilty as the next man when it comes to 
asking 'obvious' questions.


All I am saying is that in my experience I have learnt more by playing 
about and finding the answer by research, and using the list as a last 
resort. Mainly as it opens upo things I never knew about extending my 
perception of Latex's power.


However if you do have questions post away as I am happy to help out as 
best I can (as many people may already be aware) as are others on the 
list with vastly better knowledge than me. And sometimes when the 
thesis deadline is looming spending hours trying to find out how to move a 
title or include a footnote is not condusive to the stress levels and 
the list is a useful 'quick fix' source!!!


I hope this is read in the manner intended.

Geoff

  Great suggestions, Geoff. I'll add:

  4) Herbert's Tips & Tricks pages.

Also I recommend every user to get a good handbook on Latex as most queries 
are more Tex than Lyx.


  "The LaTeX Companion, 2nd Edition," and "Guide to LaTeX, 4th edition." I
have found most answers in those.

That's what I try to do!

But we shouldn't neglect that it's not that easy to find the relevant
information on the wiki etc.  Not to mention that the whole FAQ section 
needs a serious refactoring...

Re: Questions.

[Paul Smith]

Although some questions (or most of them) can be answered through
searching the information sources (wiki, mail archives, etc.), it is
probably easier for everyone if all collaborate to answer those
questions, as many times the answers are one or two lines long and
therefore easy to give. If all cooperate, the overall welfare will
probably be higher than in the situation in which each one has
"compulsorily" to search for the information before asking.

Just a thought.

CAS in LyX!

[Rudi Gaelzer]

Hi.  I've just noticed that LyX 1.3.6 has now support for some Computer 
Algebra Systems (Octave, Maxima, Mathematica and Maple are the ones listed in 
Edit -> Math -> Use Computer Algebra System.

This is a most awaited feature, and I often wavered between LyX and TeXmacs 
because, although I'm much more used to the first, only the second has been 
providing this resource.  If LyX is now providing support for CAS (specially 
the free ones), it's just great!  That combined with the really cool feature 
of dynamic rendering of printer-quality mathematical symbols could make me 
keep on using LyX till the end of eternity!

Congrats for you guys that are integrating these really useful features into 
LyX.

However, it seems that there's no reference for the use of CAS in LyX either 
in the User Guide or in the Extended Features guide.  Where can I find a 
tutorial or something like that?

Thanks.

Wrong numbers of table

[jcornuz]

Hello,

First, thanks a lot for Lyx. I have used it for a 60 pages essay and it
has helped me concentrate on content rather than page breaks :-)

However, now that I am getting near the end and checking details out, I
noticed that I get the wrong table numbers when I export a pdf file. The
navigation menu gives me a correct output (table 1, 2, 3) BUT the list of
table is table 2, 3, 4 and the tables are always referred in the (pdf) text
as 2, 3, 4.

I guess noone will notice the problem (...) but I would still be happy to
