Computer algebra systems (CAS) in LYX
Hi On the lyx.org features page it says "Basic support for various Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) - Maple, Maxima, Octave, Mathematica " However on my windows XP mathematica does not work with Lyx 1.6.6.1 that i just installed. But it did seem to work with octave on a linux system I have been using a while ago. There seems to be no documentation on the CAS link in the wiki documents... wouldn't it be a good idea to link directly from the features page to a place where more information can be found in the individual features? Sometimes it can be difficult to find - or maybe it is absent? >From the web I can see that CAS in Lyx apparently is not working too well - >does anyone have an overview of this functionality in terms of how well it >works and if something is under development? With best regards Kristian
Problems with Lyx 2.0 alpha4 - XFig files
Hi, I have download and compile the alpha version of the next 2.0 release, and I have small problem concerning files created with xfig when I create, from LyX, a PDF file (the same LyX file works fro 1.6.x series). LyX (or LaTeX to be more precise) says that it cannot determine the size of the graphic. I know that in this new version, you can use the "insert external object" option, which works for xfig files. The problem is that I combine xfig files with the "/psfrag" to replace some text in the xfig files with some LaTeX stuff (like formulas). And with the "insert external object", it does not take into account these commands. A tip how to manage that ? Thanks. -- Dr. Ir.

\usepackage{scrpage2}

\cfoot[]
last line removes default page number from plain page style
you might want to alter some of the other header and footers. There
are options for all pages or separate options for facing pages

Re: lyx chokes on documents with many subsections?
I'm using both sabayon (laptop) and ubuntu (2 desktops). Will try to compile it with debug symbols, but now I'm under deadline pressure. Maybe 1st Jul or so, I'll report back... Thanks!

Several months ago, this problem force to me to move to multiple file doc. This solution was satisfactory. Marcelo

From my experience whenever debug symbols are needed, either install *-dbg package or build from source. The latter should suffice for minimal debugging. If you want to make sure debugging is at max verbosity, you may want to hunt some --debug=full or similar ./configure switch. Liviu

Since there seems to be no lyx-dbg on either Debian or Ubuntu, you would probably need to compile LyX to have it in debugging mode. Liviu

I think you can do this by using fancyhead and redefining \fancypagestyle{plain}
to not have the page number
something like
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields
}
inserted in preamble having chosen fancyhead. You may then want to
customise your fancyheaders too
