Numbering equations in AMS multiline
Is there a way to get equations produced by the AMS multiline environment to be numbered automatically? I've found various messages in the archives about numbering equations with the regular equations, but I have something that is too long for one line. AMS multiline seems to do what I need. The documentation I have on it from the AMS packages seems to say the equations will be numbered (just once for all the lines), but that's not what I get. I did find a message about using \tag, but this does not seem to produce automatic numbering. I tried putting * (as the message suggested) or # in the tag, but this just gets that character literally. If there are other ways to achieve the same effect, that would be good too. I am not looking for the alignment of the usual eqnarray; I want the continued lines to have use of the whole line. I'm using LyX 1.4.4 on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" aka lenny. Thanks
Compile failure
I'm trying to compile from the latest sources. I've done this successfully several times in the past and I am (I think) following the instructions in INSTALL.MacOSX correctly. I have compiled and installed the latest QT/Mac (4.3.2). I've set the appropriate env vars etc and believe I have all the config parameters right.

Lyx 1.5.2 \printnomeclature not working on Linux
Hi all, I have just installed Lyx 1.5.2 on two computers, one running Windows XP and another running Linux (Fedora 7). On Windows, I have used the nomenclature functionality that comes with Lyx 1.5.2. It works fine. However, when I open the same Lyx document on the Linux PC and export to PDF in the same way as the Windows PC I don't see the nomeclature printed. Is there something that needs to be done for the nomeclature to be printed on Linux? One of the reasons why I use Lyx was to get platform independent word processing. Thank you for any assistance.

Lyx 1.5.2 PDF preview not working
Hi, just installed lyx 1.5.2 using Win Installer on Vista. New machine, no previous versions of lyx present. When I use the PDF preview button to view document I get the following message: C:/Users/name/AppData/Local/Temp/lyx_tmpdir3152a06012/lyx_tmpbuf0\ folder does not exist. The file may have been moved or deleted. Do you want to create it? I answer 'yes'. The pdf file is created and can be viewed by navigating to the above directory and clicking on it, but it does not open directly. Is there a solution to the problem? thank you. Michael
Re: APA Style and more than one author as reference.... ?
Olá Mirko,
To cite web references, you should place them in the "Howpublished" or
"Note" fields.
The BibTeX source gets like this:
howpublished = {Retrieved...}
or
note = {Retrieved...}
Some URL are quite long, so I use the url package in the LaTeX preamble:
\usepackage{url}
Like that, long URLs that could be longer than the line length, are
correctly divided.
If you use this package, you should then write: Retrieved October, 2007,
from \url{http://www.somewebsite.com}
One thing that you'll probably need to figure these things out is the
apacite Manual, which you can find at this page's documentation link:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/apacite.html (table
on page 16 is quite helpful)
You may also find useful the Wikipedia page on BibTeX:

Saudações,
Roberto

Re: can´t send mail to the list
There comes a time when one must admit that life's too short to continue with an email host not responsive to problems, even if the hosting is free. We should thank our host for his previous support, and then switch email hosts -- free if possible, paid otherwise. If 100 of us contribute a dollar apiece (I'll give a dollar), the list can get decent commercial hosting for a year. I should think there are any number of list members who are experienced list owners and could host the list on reliable machines through their universities. I would be one such. Chris Menzel
Re: can´t send mail to the list
Hi Wolfgang, I think you and I are probably the tip of the iceberg. I wouldn't doubt that many potentially excellent sources of LyX information for the community have just given up. Who knows, some of these people might have the skills of Herbert Voss or Dekl Tsur or JMarc, and we're blowing them off. If the problem gets more widespread I wouldn't be surprised to see a competing LyX list start. This problem has been known since at least 10/4/2007, and for whatever reason it's remained unsolved. I even researched the guy in charge of WIERDLMPC.MSCI.MEMPHIS.EDU, sent him the symptom description (a couple weeks after JMarc sent him a message), but he didn't favor me with so much as a reply.

Index entries overlapping
I find that if I have more than a few index entries for a word they overrun and are printed on top of other entries in the adjacent column. This is in 1.5.2 but it also happened in 1.5.1. A bug? I could prevent this to some extent by changing to a smaller font for the whole index but I can't seem to do this. Putting latex commands to change the font after "Index" at the end of the book doesn't do it. Is there a way to alter the size of the text used by the index, or -- even better -- to stop the overlapping in the first place?

index issue
If I index two (or more) words following each other, I usually mark them and
select 'index entry' (german: Stichwort). To make the word(s) appear
emphasized in the index, I use @\emph{xx} as shown below in the example (as
Liviu told me, thanks again).
If this is done with word(s) which is (are) already emphasized I get a double
entry of the words in the index, e.g.
Oxalis, 62
Oxalis, 71
where both are correctly emphasized.
It should, however, show
Oxalis, 62,71
I traced the tex output and found this:
\section{Mouvement foliaire de \emph{Oxalis regnellii}}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] montrer les mouvements foliaires
So apparently the whole index-item-box was emphasized (first \emph) in
addition to the emphasized word. My solution was, to mark in Lyx my
'index entry' (Stichwort)-box and use ctr e (for the emphasis on/off
switch).
Since it took me some time to find out I thougth to report it here.
I wonder whether this is a bug in Lyx.

AW: Lyx 1.5.1 footnotes do not work - change to utf8
While trying to make my file shorter: All of a sudden the conversion to pdf worked, with footnotes that were still left in there. It was like there was a critical length (maybe one page of output) and then it would work to create a pdf, regardless of footnotes. However in the larger document it was sufficient to delete the footnotes to create an 8 page output. So somehow footnotes work, but they do not and pdf creation works, but it does not... Strangely enough one time it worked with the footnotes and the whole text, but after adding a paragraph or so it would not anymore and did not work since. I am running it on windows xp, but that should not be the Problem ;) Maybe you have an idea and thank you for your help.

Re: diff within Lyx and OpenOffice with styles
Olá Marcelo, One of the reasons that convinced me right away to learn and use LyX/LaTeX was the ability of changing the whole look of a text, no matter what length, with a single change of style. When you use a WYSIWYG application like Open Office, you may define styles for each component of a text, say paragraphs and titles for instance. But, if you want to change the global appearance of a text you still would have to change each of the styles, one by one. Even when you try to export them to a markup language format like XML, you either get the contents without any semantic distinction (this paragraph is a quotation, this is not) our you get styles and contents intermixed. With LyX or LaTeX, you can have one text and change its appearance as many times you want just by choosing different output style packages or by creating them yourself. What you get, really, is a markup language that, just as wisely used X/HTML, separates content from presentation and allows you to use the same content over and over in different contexts by just applying to it different style sheets (in the Web they're called CSS, Cascading Style Sheets). You just can't do that in any other WYSIWYG application, as far as I'm aware of. But, then again, if you just want to produce texts that will only be used once, say a letter or a school homework, then you should really use Open Office, which is an excellent application, solid, reliable (I never heard of disappearing styles), and extremely easy to use. LyX and LaTeX have many other advantages, but we could write a book just on it... HTH.

Re: Re: Fine tuning Jurabib
Hi there again,
I have managed to solve my problems, there's only one left. The trick
was to get rid of the "oxford" command and all my manually written
commands were at once accepted and got carried out. So now I have
practically all that I wish. It seems that the "oxford" command (as
well as many other jurabib-commands) has/have more than one command
in it/in them, which get into conflict with other commands and for
whatever reason, LaTeX decided to prefer the oxford command instead
of others. So the example given in the wiki is somewhat dangerous for
people with little knowledge like me that need to change the setup.
If I learn a little more about jurabib I will try to contribute a
better jurabib-explanation to the wiki. My setup is now as follows:
\jurabibsetup{authorformat=citationreversed,
authorformat=reducedifibidem,
authorformat=indexed,
titleformat=italic,
titleformat=colonsep,
citefull=chapter,
ibidem=strictdoublepage,
human,
lookat,
pages=format,
bibformat=ibidem} % Letztes Problem mit Jurabib: neuerdings kommt bei
vgl.-Zitaten folgendes: VGL. in: Vorname Nachname etc. -> d.h. "vgl."
in Kapitälchen und das "in:" völlig überflüssig. GELÖST, indem ich
das vgl. einfach in die Fußnote vor das Zitat schreibe, nicht aber im
Zitat selbst formatiere. NEUES PROBLEM: Autoren landen nicht im Index.
\renewcommand*{\bibansep}{. }
\renewcommand*{\bibjtsep}{In: } % Diese Befehle tunen die Zitierweise
aus Zeitschriften ein wenig
And it all works :) except for one thing: authors are not being
indexed (using memoir as the document class). But I remember having
difficulties to index authors in KOMA Script and LyX 1.4.x as well
(back then, authors were indexed but looked like this in the index:
"Eco, Umberto=Eco, Umberto, 19, 22, 56")

Maybe not the most elegant solution but absolutely enough for me.

The Latex Code i put in my first mail was producing the output i was expecting, the logo between the author and the date enviroment on my titlepage. since i want to do my work in lyx i didn't want to include too much plain latex source i tried to rebuild this page in lyx. i inserted the logo using the menu insert->graphic of course put the logo was always placed on the next page. I still don't know why i get a page break at this point. My problem is solved now but if someone knows why this happens, a short explanation would be great. Christian
