Success!

Problems with Elsearticle template
I cannot add hyperlink in a file opened from elsearticle template. I use Win 7, Lyx 1.6.5, MixTex 2.8. After opened a new file from Elsearticle template, if I add a hyperlink (http: ...) and try to view the pdf I receive the erros: Error: Argument of \x has an extra } Description: ...r\proc...@me\string\@la...@\@nil{author} % I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything. For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway argument that might be the root of the problem. But if your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away. and Error: Paragraph ended before \x was complete. Description: ...r\proc...@me\string\@la...@\@nil{author} % I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this control sequence to too much text. How can we recover? My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best. May anyone help me? Thank you Bruno Cocciaro --- Li portammo sull'orlo del baratro e ordinammo loro di volare. --- Resistevano.

Problems with Elsearticle template
I cannot add hyperlink in a file opened from elsearticle template. I use Win 7, Lyx 1.6.5, MixTex 2.8. After opened a new file from Elsearticle template, if I add a hyperlink (http: ...) and try to view the pdf I receive the erros: Error: Argument of \x has an extra } Description: ...r\proc...@me\string\@la...@\@nil{author} % I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything. For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway argument that might be the root of the problem. But if your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away. and Error: Paragraph ended before \x was complete. Description: ...r\proc...@me\string\@la...@\@nil{author} % I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this control sequence to too much text. How can we recover? My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best. May anyone help me? Thank you Bruno Cocciaro --- Li portammo sull'orlo del baratro e ordinammo loro di volare. --- Resistevano.

Hi Richard, I join with Tim congratulating you on completing and publishing a book, and doing it in LyX, which I consider the best book-writing software in the world. I've been off the LyX-Users list for a month and didn't even know it, but I'm back now.

"Overhang" is exactly what I need. However, I do not want wrapping, and "overhang" seems to be offered only by Wrap Float. I don't think a plain Figure Float recognizes "overhang". Is there an easy way to insert an "overhang" command into a Figure Float? Alternatively can I turn off wrapping in a Wrap Float? I still wish to insert a caption into the space created by the overhang. I could force the overhang just by letting the caption push the figure across, thereby creating an overhang, though I need to do that with the caption always on the inner side. However getting exactly the same overhang every time would be messy that way. Basically, I wish to get all my figures to float to the tops of pages, flush to the outside and overhang text by a set distance, thus visually defining a marginal column. Your "overhang" almost does it. Cheers, George
