Page numbers in pdf display
Hello, as my thesis requires roman numerals for the front matter and arabic numerals for the main matter I would like the resulting PDF file to display always the right number as on the printed paper. Right now it displays something like i -- 1 ii -- 2 etc. 1 -- 7 2 -- 8 etc. as the PDF viewer simply counts from the first to the last page. However, I have seen already LaTeX-PDF-Files that display always the same page number as is being printed. How can I achieve that in LyX 1.5.5 and XeTeX on latest MacTeX?

Re: Blank Line Before \begin{itemize} in Geneterated LaTeX
Hi Etinne, I know you won't exactly love this solution, but it does work. You can remove the extra space again simply by entering a spacer with a user value with a negative in front. eg -1 em. This removes the text up a line again. You have to give LyX more of a chance. Writing in LaTeX requires some fiddling too and most problems you can get around with LyX. You just need to find new ways sometimes. There are so many advantages to writing in LyX when you get to know it. I'd never go back! Chris.

Apparently you are not currently using the hyperref package in the
document. Try adding \usepackage{hyperref} to the preamble. The
hyperref option pdfpagelabels=true (which is the default setting) will
induce Acrobat Reader (and hopefully other readers) to display something
like ii (2 of 938) as the page number.

The main problem with this approach is that: 1. It won't always look similar to not having a blank line in the LaTeX source as soon as you start playing with global spacing options. Having to go back and fix every ERT because you changed a global option is not a good idea. 2. It requires the human to consistently add ERT to every list. Consistency is not best achieved by humans, unfortunately. This is best solved by making sure LyX doesn't spit out spurious \n's everywhere...

Problem with EPS images and diacritics
Hello Lyx users :) I have a problem with images in lyx. I'm writing a thesis and some graphs are included. The problem is with the written part of the graphs - legends, axes descriptions etc. Some diacritic markers are not displayed in lyx output - like the letter Č is displayed as C. But when I view the picture in a picture viewer like IrfanView, everything is displayed correctly. I am using EPS format for images since that's the best way to ensure the quality of the output. Thank you for any suggestions. Please reply to my e-mail address too since I'm not a member of the lyx users mailinglist. Best regards, Tomas Pavlik
wrapfigure environment options
I have noticed that in the wrapfigure environment (text wrap float), there is no option for allowing the figure to really float. In the actual LaTeX code, you may specify l/L, r/R, o/O, etc. with the lower case mandating placement at that point in the text and upper case allowing the figure to float. It appears, from looking at the LaTeX source generated by LyX, that the lower-case options are hard coded. Does anyone know how to change this? James
Re: Bounding box problem (not caused by LyX but ghostscript)
Dear Olivier, thank you very much for your extensive answer! Now, I do not really understand why you need such a complex workflow. Why do you need to go in Linux ? That´s just because so far I didn´t know better how to deal with bounding boxes - and I have a Linux machine running anyway. I did the following in Windows (one line, mail agent may wrap it): gswin32c -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dEPSCrop -sDEVICE=epswrite -sOutputFile=dummy2.eps dummy.eps I tried this, but ... The resulting image displays fine in LyX with or without the clipping options While this is true regarding the bounding box problem, the resulting picture quality I get (LyX display and printout) is very poor compared to the other method I used so far. I am using AFPL Ghostscript V8.54, because it is installed on the Windows machine anyway. I will try some younger Windows versions of ghostscript tomorrow and report back. Maybe there are additional parameters that could be passed to gswin32c.exe to improve the picture quality? Thank you again, Tom Schlangen -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi,
I have a little bit of a problem with formatting my table of contents. I
have use the following latex code to get the table of content as shown
in the attached figure.
\contentsline {chapter}{{\textbf{\textit{\Large{Chapter\hspace{0.2cm}%
\numberline{\itshape{\bfseries{\Large{2}}}\\}{\hspace{-3.2cm}\protect\rule[-.3cm]{15.65cm}{0.08cm}\hfill%
\hspace{-3.2cm}Tachogram resampling, Ectopic beat correction and
Detrending}}{\bf{6}}{chapter.2}
\contentsline {section}{\numberline {2.1}Introduction}{6}{section.2.1}
basically i have just made some changes in the line related to the
chapters. I would like to move the chapter heading Tachogram resampling
. a bit to the left. I tried to use \hspace command but it didn't
work i might be putting it in the wrong place or something i don't know.
If someone can help me with this i would really appreciate. Thanks
Regards,
Kamran
