Could you please help me fixing this error? I tried reinstalling LyX

Can you post the document (or, better, a minimal subset of it that 
generates the error)?

http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kjt/software/latex/showbst.html shows off some

match, but my attention span is limited.  ;-)


http://amath.colorado.edu/documentation/LaTeX/reference/faq/bibstyles.pdf

I've added these to the wiki.

There's always custom-bib if you need to create your own style.

Re: overset and underset with subscripts display problem

I don't know if this is a known issue, but when I try to have an underset
and overset with subscripts, while the output looks fine, the display in LyX
doesn't look right. In the example below, S_1 is overlaid on top of the
greater/less than sign.

I'm using LyX 1.4.3-5 on WinXP.

 

 


A\overset{S_{1}}{\underset{S_{2}}{\gtrless}}B

 

 


Is this a bug ?

 



Also true in 1.4.4 and 1.5.0rc2 (again on Win XP).

I suspect it's more a "feature" than a bug.  To get a more definitive 
view of the formula, you can always turn on instant preview.

Hi Lyxers,

due to some serious work i have to do with Lyx i need to stick with the

crash has not been inherited by the current release candidate.

Essentially, the crash always happens with the WindowsXP-version when I
navigate through a table using Shift-uparrow and Shift-rightarrow.

I attach a stripped down version of the file which consistently causes
this crash. Below I also include a copy of the error message.

Cannot reproduce the crash on LyX 1.5.0rc2 on XP, I opened your
example and did Shift->Up and Shift->Right a bunch of different times
all over the table. I've found rc2 to be fairly resistant to crashes.

Not a bug, an intractable problem.

It can be addressed to some extent by setting

\brokenpenalty=1

but that won't persuade LaTeX to re-flow the paragraph, but will  
carry the offending line to the next page, which depending on  
available glue and the flexibility of the page layout (esp. whether  
or \raggedbottom is in effect) and your expectations (do you want  
spreads to cross-align, how many lines short can one make pages run  
&c.) may not work out.


Normally this sort of thing is addressed as one of the final  
typographic adjustments (prevent the hyphenation by \mbox'ing the  
text, re-run LaTeX, see if the paragraph gained or lost a line,  
adjust if need be (\looseness+/-1), see if some other bad hyphenation  
appeared, repeat until the page comes out as desired).


Ages ago, when I was [EMAIL PROTECTED] I posted a lengthy description  
of my process for this sort of thing to the Typo-L mailing list ---  
mostly common-sense derived from experience you might find it useful  
to save you from some working at cross-purposes.

Hyphenation across pages

2007-07-06 Thread Tom Schlangen
Hello LyX Users List,

in a large text using document class "book (koma-script"), I noticed automatic 
hyphenations being done across pages, which I doubt is correct behaviour 
according to typesetting rules. At least, it looks very ugly.

In the Lyx manual it is mentioned that the auto-hyphenation actually is done by 
Latex (in my case: MikTex, Windows version, at current patchlevel) according to 
language rules (which I did set accordingly).

Is there a chance to influence/forbid cross-page hyphenation by means of the 
LyX frontend, or is this just a MikTeX bug?
