Each chapter is a separate essay with the author's photo, about 3*2 cm. The overall effect is very like KOMA-script, except for that. P.S.: Is your link right? It took me to Google Books, who couldn't find it. Doug.

Thanks, Guenter-- that did it. Ehud Kaplan Guenter Milde wrote: On 2009-03-05, Ehud Kaplan wrote: I have installed Lyx 1.6.1 on a kubuntu 64 bit (Version 8.10). It seems to work fine, and produce correct pdf output. However, some thing are not shown in the equations (in the Lyx editor): integrals, summation signs, etc. Have I neglected to install anything? Did you install latex-xft-fonts? It is generally a good idea to install all "recommended" packages (unless you are sure that you do not need them). Günter

I suggest to have a look at the documentation of these two classes - you will be surprised what you can do with them without the need of ugly, massive preamble hacks. regards Uwe
Query on new-chapters-not-on-new-page
This may sound like a bizarre query: but is it possible to ensure that every new chapter doesn't start on a new page in a book format? I have a book with a series of short essays. While these need chapter numbers, and listing in the index, it is not necessary for the essays to begin on a new page. Would be grateful for any help.

Kudos to the developers for creating such a useful feature. Other features on one's dream-list: * A kind of automated indexing: which lists all the occurances of one word, and asks the editor whether s/he wants to include each entry. That seems like a good idea. Not the fully-automated indexing that usually overdoes it, but something similiar to searc & replace that asks. Please file a enhancement request (wishlist bug) on bugzilla.lyx.org * Better help files. Feel free to write some. :-) * More and better latex chapter-page templates, which offer neat layouts... You mean the title pages for chapters? Could be useful. would need someone who knows good designs. * Closer integration between layout on Lyx and typesetting (on wordprocessor), so that when one file gets changed, the other gets automatically updated. What do you mean here? whenever you change something in LyX, the output also changes (after hitting the appropriate button that updates the dvi/pdf view.) Doing this fully automatic would waste a lot of processing power as most people don't watch the preview continously. There is normally no need. Or did you mean something else? Helge Hafting
