LFUN: self-insert a space?
I can't seem to self-insert a space. I'm sure I could come up with a hack for entering a letter and a space and a letter and then using char-backward to delete the two letters, but I'm guessing there's an easier way. Thank you for the help, Xu
Re: QSL card template
Hi Steve, It was about 40 yrs ago when I was in the Boy Scouts back in South Africa that I was first exposed to Ham Radio, but like most people was put off by morse code. Well now that is optional, and here in Australia the Foundation License is very achievable even if you have no prior radio / electronics knowledge. It was five nights course and a quick theory & practical exam which I did a month or so ago. QSL cards for those who do not know are used to confirm contacts over the air between ham radio operators. They are highly sought after - particularly if you get one from a more unusual country of the world. Generally they are post card sized, and are individualised by each ham. If you have a look at: http://www.qsl.net/n9bt/qsl_template.htm there is a word doc template showing the basic data needed. What I was thinking was that, if you are like me, every time you buy ink for your inkjet, they upsell you to a 3 pack, and you end up with some 4x6 photo paper. I was thinking of making it that size which makes it easier than having to get cardboard stock. You could then print a blank and handfill it, or make it really beautiful and use Lyx to fill in, then print. I don't know how they do it but you have those PDFs which you can fill in the box onscreen - that could even make the solution Lyx independent if you must! I know that in the USA alone there are > 700,000 current ham radio operators, so there must be millions worldwide. Who knows, maybe there are some that are Lyx users to give their ideas :-) Thanks in advance, MarkL vk4fmrk On 19 April 2012 12:45, Steve Litt wrote: > On Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:37:41 +1000 > Mark Livingstone wrote: > >> Hi Guys, >> >> Does anyone have a Lyx ham radio QSL card template? >> >> Cheers, >> >> MarkL vk4fmrk > > How fun would that be?!!! > > If nobody else helps you, I'll try to do it.

QSL card template
Hi Guys, Does anyone have a Lyx ham radio QSL card template? Cheers, MarkL vk4fmrk
[solved] Re: footer on all pages
On Wed, 18 Apr 2012, the wise Paul A. Rubin wrote: LaTeX classes that include a chapter environment usually format the first page of each chapter differently from the others. Try adding this to the document preamble: \fancypagestyle{plain}{% \rfoot{whatever} } This works! When adding this, the footer is shown only on the pages with the chapters. So when adding this *and* leaving \rfoot{whatever} in the preamble, the footer is shown on all pages. Thanks for the help. Regards, Marco -- Flee at once, all is discovered.
Re: numbers of figures
You can just go to the document configuration menu and select the right modules. I can't tell you the exact text because I use lyx in spanish, but it should be something like: Document -> Document options Modules Number figures in sections Using that LyX will do everything and you won't need to write anything in the preamble.
Re: numbers of figures
Great!!! It worked, thank you very much! I just changed chapter to section (using article) and now its all right! Thanks a lot!
Re: numbers of figures
I'd change your preamble to: \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} \addto\captionsngerman{ \renewcommand{\figurename}{Abb.} \renewcommand{\tablename}{Tab.} } \renewcommand{\thefigure}{\arabic{section}.\arabic{figure}} \@addtoreset{figure}{chapter}

And I _cannot_ move it to any other location. So in particular I can't get it into the folder that contains the .tex file of my manuscript. You should be able to create the .bib file anywhere you want. For example, select all the references, then right-click -> Export... Or just copy (not move) the file that you already have.

Try on the document which produces a non-clean xhtml: $ xhtml2odt -i AS_BC_manuscrip.xhtml -o AS_BC_manuscrip.odt Tidy could not clean up the document, aborting. Conversion failed. $ So it is not as robust as pandoc - at this point vote for pandoc. Tests will be ongoing. Rainer > >>> There's no reason we couldn't add this as a converter.
