Activate/Deactivate Banches from Masterdokument

[Uwe Ade]

Hey

I use Lyx to make a presentation with one Master-document and several separate 
Documents. In the Documents i use Branches. 
If i make my finale PDF a starter the Process in the Master-document and  I get 
the wished PDF.
Is it possible to activate or deactivate the Branches in the Documents from the 
Master-document? Or has i open every Document and Activate or deactivate the 
Branches?

Thanks 

uwe

You can toggle the branches from the master, if they are defined in the master 
(Document  Settings  Branches from the master). Note that it also makes 
sense to have branches which are only defined in the child (the master then 
treats them as inactive).

1 Enter in math mode and add some equation/whatever.

This feature would be great for middle to power users, off course one

I know I can do this in a ERT environment but then I need to copy to

This sounds like a not very hard feature to implement, maybe without

LyX has some support for version control. So you could create a 
subversion repository and put your document there, and then you can each 
check it out, check it in, and so forth. If you get conflicts, then, as 
usual, those would have to be resolved manually.

Hello,

I want to try and work together with a friend on a lyx document in a 
way that both of us work on other parts of it together (or at least 
can update it at a time). Is this possible?


LyX has some support for version control. So you could create a 
subversion repository and put your document there, and then you can each 
check it out, check it in, and so forth. If you get conflicts, then, as 
usual, those would have to be resolved manually.
