\int and esint package
Dear lyx'ers, I've noticed lyx 1.6.5 automatically adds the package esint to the preamble whenever the symbol \int is invoked. Is this really necessary? AFAIK, \int is included in the standard fonts, but esint is not included by default in most latex installations. r.f.

Hello,
I have several questions regarding numbered equations:
1. How does one add punctuation to numbered equations?
2. How does one make the equations be part of a paragraph that begins

3. How does one continue a numbered equation across multiple lines?
That's a lot of questions. ;-)
For example:
_
Three of the most often quoted elementary mathematical
equations are
2 + 2 = 4(1),
C = 2 x pi x r (2), and
A = (1/2) b x h (3).
As you can see, Equation 2 is the most complex.
_
In the above example, I can't figure out how to add the commas,
period, and conjunction adjacent to the equation numbers.
If you're using an equation array or something of the sort to format
this, then you cannot add punctuation after the labels. There simply
isn't any way to do this, so far as I know, not unless you define (or
find) your own environments that allow it. An option is to turn on the
"fleqn" option by putting "fleqn" in the Options field under
Document>Settings>Document Class>Custom. This moves the numbers to the
left, and then you can add the text in the usual way. Alternatively,
change your syntax. "These are three...:".
Also notice that the sentence beginning with "As" is part of the
paragraph beginning with "Three." I can't get Lyx to format them
right. The sentence beginning with "Three" is indented because it
starts a paragraph. When I add anything after an equation number, LyX
automatically treats it as a new paragraph. So in the above example,
the line beginning with "As you can" is treated as the start of a new
paragraph and indented.
I'm not sure I fully understand this, but compare the two paragraphs in
the attached document. In the second case, where the paragraph is
indented, there is a return after the formula. If you put the cursor at
the beginning of "what" and backspace, you will delete that return.
Regarding my third question, I have a long equation that should span
multiple lines. Instead, LyX keeps it on one line that runs off the
right side of the page, when it should look like:
5 = 1 + 5 = 2 + 3 = 3 + 2 = 4 + 1 = 10/2
= 50/10 = 100/20 (4)
Thanks for your help.
You'll have to use something like the gather environment, or maybe an
align environment, to format this correctly. Example in the file, again.

Hi, I am currently using LyX+Sweave a whole lot, huge fan of the concept! One of the few weaknesses of this solution though is that the error message (when there is something wrong with the R code) isn't much help: "An error occurred whilst running R CMD Sweave 'myfile.Rnw'" Is there a trick to look at the R trace to see what went wrong?

It is normal, that different versions behave different, of course, so this should be checked first. It is also normal that there are different "package formats": a zip file might contain a "texmf-dir compatible" sub-structure, or just a bundle of files that needs to be sorted into the right places manually. Apart from this, a correctly installed package of the same version should behave similar regardless of the download site. Günter

You found a bug. There might be some problem with your layout, but
nevertheless the layout2layout script should never go into an
indefinite loop (it looks like the regexp search is not advancing at
some stage due to unusal formatting of your layout).
Could you file a bug report at track.lyx.org or report on the
