Natbib will happily do this. Simply activate it under 
DocumentSettingsBibliography, choose  the numerical style, and then 
under Document Class enter the class option compress or you can try 
sortcompress. See section 2.16 of:

Re: Lyx2.0.2 for windows cannot display \leq

[Paul A . Rubin]

On the problem machine, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX20\Resources\fonts
(assuming LyX is installed in the default location).  There should be ten
TrueType font files (.ttf), along with a couple of text files.  Those fonts are
used by LyX to display math on the screen, so it is possible that one of them is
not properly installed or is broken.  (Broken seems unlikely if reverting to an
earlier version of LyX did not cure the problem.)

I don't have a Win 7 machine handy at the moment, but there should be a font
applet in the control panel.  Try reinstalling the ten font files and see if
that cures the problem.  You probably don't need to reinstall all of them, but
offhand I don't know which one would be responsible for \leq.

Novice: How to change the headings color of a document

[nomnex]

I do not know what package and what command to pass in a document
preamble to change the color of all the headings (Chapter, section,
sub-sec, etc...), from the default black to another color e.g. dark
blue. I do not need to change the color of the header/footer, which
probably request a different package or set of commands.

Google  the list archive did not help much with my level of knowledge.
I got a hint (see below), about changing the document class, but
I don't know how:

The reason, as Jurgen pointed out, is because the chapter headings turn
up in the page headers---not to mention the TOC. So you really don't
want to change its color anyway, not manually. If you want chapter
headings to be colored, you change that in the document class. 

I probably need \usepackage{color} + a command to color all the
document headings.

Novice: TOC in 2 columns

How can I do that in LyX?

When I use the package {multicol}

The TOC title Content is in the first column and it looks bad.

The multitoc manual (PDF) displays a vertical separator bar | between

\usepackage[toc]{multitoc} in the doc preamble creates a 2 columns TOC,

Novice: Text in the middle of the page

[nomnex]

My apology for many questions in a row. I am a bit overwhelmed with the
doc.

the default lyx (either article, or report class) document margins --
probably for typographical reason -- do not center the text on the
page. The left margin is larger than the right margin.

What is the best way to have the text in the middle of the page:

a. Can I use the {geometry} package in the preamble, and what is the
command to pass.

b. Else, should I set Document margins manually (there is no
indication of the default L/R margin values).

Thank you.

Thank you Jurgen, I was missing to add the color or xcolor package.

I would like to keep the default article class settings of the
Chapt/Section/Sub-sec/etc. and only change their color*.

a. Where can I find the font information for the
Chapt/Section/Sub-sec...
b. Could you help with, say, the Section
command, so that I have an idea of the complete syntax to pass in the
preamble [size, font, etc.].

Thanks in advance,
nomnex

Re: Citations in Scientific Articles

That is not a LyX issue, but a LaTeX, or rather BibTeX/BibLaTeX
one which is the underlying citation processor.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a LyX user:

Please I would like to have a clarification on this
pressing issue of mine.

I have attached two files depicting two categories of
citations. I named them as type-one-citation and
type-two-citation.

In some processors there is no way one can make a range
citation as shown in the second and third citations in
the file ''type-one-citation'' when your document is
printed. Rather it appears as shown in the second and
third citations in the file ''type-two-citation'' when
your document is printed.

I would like to know if provisions are made in LyX
to make range citations as in the second
and third citations in the file ''type-one-citation'' when
your document is printed ?

If yes, where can I find it in LyX ?
Natbib will happily do this. Simply activate it under 
"Document>Settings>Bibliography", choose  the numerical style, and then 
under Document Class enter the class option "compress" or you can try 
"sort". See section 2.16 of:

http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/natbib.pdf
for the details.

Re: Lyx2.0.2 for windows cannot display \leq

[Paul A . Rubin]

On the problem machine, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX20\Resources\fonts
(assuming LyX is installed in the default location).  There should be ten
TrueType font files (.ttf), along with a couple of text files.  Those fonts are
used by LyX to display math on the screen, so it is possible that one of them is
not properly installed or is broken.  (Broken seems unlikely if reverting to an
earlier version of LyX did not cure the problem.)

I don't have a Win 7 machine handy at the moment, but there should be a font
applet in the control panel.  Try reinstalling the ten font files and see if
that cures the problem.  You probably don't need to reinstall all of them, but
offhand I don't know which one would be responsible for \leq.

Novice: How to change the headings color of a document

[nomnex]

I do not know what package and what command to pass in a document
preamble to change the color of all the headings (Chapter, section,
sub-sec, etc...), from the default black to another color e.g. dark
blue. I do not need to change the color of the header/footer, which
probably request a different package or set of commands.

Google & the list archive did not help much with my level of knowledge.
I got a hint (see below), about changing the document class, but
I don't know how:

"The reason, as Jurgen pointed out, is because the chapter headings turn
up in the page headers---not to mention the TOC. So you really don't
want to change its color anyway, not manually. If you want chapter
headings to be colored, you change that in the document class. "

I probably need \usepackage{color} + a command to color all the
document headings.

Thanks

Novice: TOC in 2 columns

[nomnex]

Most of the PDF manuals in the latex doc directory have:
- "Content" title is centered
- 2 column TOC.

How can I do that in LyX?

When I use the package {multicol}
\begin{multicols}{2}
TOC
\end{multicols}

The TOC title "Content" is in the first column and it looks bad.

What's the proper way?

Thanks

I would suggest you look into the titlesec package. This provides

I have to \usepackage{multitoc}, but default it outputs a 2 columns
TOC.

Can someone help me with the command to set a "|" vertical bar
separation. I don't understand how to do it, reading the multitoc tex
manual.

The multitoc manual (PDF) displays a vertical separator bar "|" between
the TOC 2 columns. I believe it is the default, but it may (assumption)
conflict with the lyx TOC feature.

\usepackage[toc]{multitoc} in the doc preamble creates a 2 columns TOC,
but there is no column separator.

I have been looking at the file
http://www.tug.org/texlive/devsrc/Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ms/multitoc.sty

It is above my competence, but I wonder if I have use a
"charactertable" (see below) in the preamble and how. Can
somebody help me? Thank you.

%% \CharacterTable

%%  Equals\= Greater than  \> Question mark \?
%%  Commercial at \@ Left bracket  \[ Backslash \\
%%  Right bracket \] Circumflex\^ Underscore\_
%%  Grave accent  \` Left brace\{ Vertical bar  \|

Novice: Text in the middle of the page

[nomnex]

My apology for many questions in a row. I am a bit overwhelmed with the
doc.

the default lyx (either article, or report class) document margins --
probably for typographical reason -- do not center the text on the
page. The left margin is larger than the right margin.

What is the best way to have the text in the middle of the page:

a. Can I use the {geometry} package in the preamble, and what is the
command to pass.

b. Else, should I set Document margins manually (there is no
indication of the default L/R margin values).

Thank you.

Hello Richard,
I do not understand the command syntax to pass in the
preamble, after reading the titlesec PDF manual PDF. I am a
complete novice.

Could you provide an example or two; let say I want to change my 
document Section headings to a dark blue color. What is the exact
command to pass in the document preamble. 

==
\usepakage{titlesec}
then what?
==
Thank you.

This fails and generates an error message when I view to DVI

\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat*{\section}{\color{blue}}

Another version (found on http://tex.stackexchange.com) fails equally.

\titleformat{\section}
  {\normalfont\sffamily\Large\bfseries\color{blue}}
