Pages for Tables

[Rilke Rainer Michael]

Hello Lyx-User,

I am writing on a research report with Lyx. Everything works perfectly
fine. My documentclass is KOMA-Script.

In this report I have several tables. I would be fine to display each
table, irrespective of the size on one single page. Of course I can
insert page breaks and stuff, but this would crack my text apart. 

Do you have any idea how I can write a command that fulfills this
requirement that every table is displayed within the document (not at
the end) but with a separate page?

I would be glad do get suggestions from you.

Kind Regards,
Rainer

Pass LyX comments through eLyXer?

[Steve Litt]

Hi Alex,

I found that my LyX comments don't get through to the finished HTML 
file, and eLyXer's Options class appears to have no option for passing 
through LyX comments.

How difficult would it be to add code so there's an option to convert 
LyX comments to ? Comments would be an excellent 
way to pass through eBook-only data, without it showing up in a book 
printed from the same LyX file.

I looked at eLyXer for ten minutes and couldn't figure out how to do 
it. That probably doesn't surprise you :-)

If it's too hard to do, or if there's not enough time to do it, I can 
probably make a small program to scoop out the specific comment that 
passes the eBook metadata, and give that information to the post-
processor. The post-processor already adds pagefeeds to every  
item in the HTML file and captures the Title, Author and Date but 
doesn't print them.

Thanks

Re: "shortcut" inset?

Liviu, that's exactly it. Thanks for bearing with me. I did a search
in stdmenus.inc for info-insert. Am I correct that it is not available in
the menu?

Re: "shortcut" inset?

[Xu Wang]

Liviu,

That's very interesting! Unless I misunderstood your directions, you
answered a different, but more interesting question than what I originally
was after with my question. Thank you for that.

What I was originally (and still) interested in is: suppose I delete the
"shortcut Alt+A I" part of the User Guide that I posted. How do I put it
back in? (and no, performing an "Undo" is not a fair answer :) ). Note that
"shortcut Alt+A I" is not entered in normal text. It's not even editable
text. I think it is an inset. Is that correct?

Sorry for being unclear,

Xu

"shortcut" inset?

[Xu Wang]

Hi, how can I enter a shortcut information type? Where is this covered in
the manuals?

For example, in the User Guide, it is written "change the state of the
current paragraph (shortcut Alt+A I)" in 3.2.3 Fine-Tuning


The latex code for the last part is written as

 \shortcut{Alt+A I}


When I right-click on the shortcut and go to "settings" it doesn't give me
a clue of how to reproduce it.


I tried googling "LyX information type" but that didn't give anything
useful.


Thank you,


Xu

But when I export to pdf, it's still broken. Do you mean it won't be
broken in the print version? (I don't have a printer here.)
Or is it something about my pdf/dvi settings that I can fix?

bibtopic backref

[M.B. Schiekel]

Hello everyone,

with LyX 1.6.9 I'm trying to use two bibliographies in one document.
\usepackage[dot]{bibtopic} in the preamble  works fine.

Now I want have backreferences too with
\usepackage[backref=page, pdftex]{hyperref}.
According to the bibtopic manual, I've placed the
\usepackage[dot]{bibtopic} after the
\usepackage[backref=page, pdftex]{hyperref}
in my preamble.

But when I try to run pdftex in LyX, I get an errormsg, that bibtopic
must be placed after hyperref. Now I'm looking in the latex-file and LyX
has placed the \usepackage[dot]{bibtopic} before my preamble.
What can be done?

Thank you very much,
Cheers,
bernhard

I'd suggest you post a message about this to the devel list---describing 
your problem from the very beginning and posting a minimal example. This 
kind of thing was supposed to have been sorted out. If it's not, maybe 
there's some configuration issue we need to address, and the guy who did

Re: Cannot get epstopdf to work in Lyx 2.0.1

[Daniel Kelly (aka Jack)]

Bother, sorry, please ignore my last message.

It turns out that Lyx 2.0.2 does *not* fix the epstopdf problem, sorry.
When I wrote my previous email, I had forgotten to delete the
"-eps-converted-to.pdf" files. Now that I have deleted the temporary
"-eps-converted-to.pdf" files, Lyx fails to correctly instruct epstopdf to
convert my eps files to pdf, ready for pdflatex to process.

Should I submit a bug report?

Many thanks,
Jack

I'm on a Mac using Lyx 2.0.1.
Details of how to do this are in chapter 5 of the Customization manual. 
The cls files need to do somewhere LaTeX can find them, i.e., in the 
same sort of place the other cls files are (like article.cls). This part 
has nothing to do with LyX but is just a LaTeX thing. The LyX part would 
involve creating a layout file for these class files. That's what's 
described in Chapter 5. This can be anything from trivial to hard, 
depending upon the details of the class file.

Re: LyX 2.0.2 Released

[Richard Heck]

On windows7, LyX 2.0.2's scrolling is somehow broken to me. LyX.exe 
takes 50% CPU (my machine is dual-core, so 50% CPU is max for many 
programs), triggers CPU fan to max, and is very laggy (non smooth).


2.0.1, with both installers (official and Uwe's) has no such issue and 
scrolls smoothly.


Even small documents trigger this, e.g. the "Introduction" to LyX.
