I am not completely sure. I believe right now that you can only extend
or alter the existing modules (and this is kind of unofficial, which is
why it isn't properlyl documented). But the modularization of this stuff
was work done towards biblatex support.

I assume that, like any module, these should be saved to the layouts/

Yes, just the same place as the other user defined modules.

And it seems like one can only alter modules since the options for the 
Format in Document > Settings... > Bibliography seem hard-coded. But if 
one uses biblatex anyway that might not be a big problem.


I guess the idea could be to add a biblatex option and a biblatex.module 
that supports all standard biblatex cite* commands?

I was able to run the biber version of ClassicThesis on my laptop with 
Kubuntu successfully. Since I will use this for my talk, I am set for 
the time being. I might try later to get it working on  may PC with Debian.

Thanks all who helped me.

Re: How to align tables side by side at the bottom?

[Helge Hafting]

Den 21. mai 2016 13:41, skrev racoon:

Hi,

I am trying to place two tables side by side so that their captions at 
the bottom align at the bottom. I tried several combinations of 
Content and Box alignment of minipages but failed. Using sub figures 
instead didn't help either.



Box alignment is a bit tricky, but this is doable:

1. Put a protected space (ctrl+space) after the captions for table 1 and 
table 2. This little trick make the box alignment settings work "as 
expected".
2. Open settings for each of the two minipages. Under "Alignment", 
change "Box" to "Bottom".


Step two causes the boxes to align by their bottoms, which again causes 
the tables to be lined up by their captions because in both cases, the 
caption is at the bottom of the box.  This is nice and intuitive - 
unfortunately, step 1 is necessary to make it work. That is not so 
intuitive, but box alignment can often be made to work by tossing in a 
protected space at the start or at the end of the box.


Don't put the protected space inside the caption box. Use the cursor 
keys, and add the protected space just outside the caption box. LyX may 
decide to display it on the next line.

Re: Mac Shortcuts

[Anders Ekberg]

Hi Paola

Where did you find the ^S notion?
For me (on the Mac, latest LyX, latest OS) Ctrl s N gives normal size, but it 
could perhaps be due to my keyboard (Swedish).

All the best!

Hi All,

a really silly question, but I am stumped: using Mac OS, what does “^” stand 
for? For instance, if I want to go for “font-size Normal” the set shortcuts are 
^S N : what combination of keys is “^S”? If I am not mistaken:
C stands for “command”, 
A stands for “option”, 
S stands for “Shift” 
M stands or “Ctrl” 

but does “^” stand for? 

Many thanks,

Visible carriage return

[Giorgio Zavarise]

Hi,

I have a question concerning the space around centered equation. When you type 
text and then add centered equations you may get a different results if you add 
an empty line; e.g. the following text will produce more spaces in the second 
case:

Test 1
\[
A_{1}=\frac{h}{2}
\]
End Test 1

Test 2

\[
A_{1}=\frac{h}{2}
\]

End Test 2




When using LyX, the fact that you have generated or not a blank line is 
basically hidden. As far as I know, the only way to detect it is looking at the 
LateX Source panel.
Hence my question is: Is there a workaround to know where I placed a blank line?
Is it possible that Lyx shows a special character, or something similar, to let 
you know where you put a blank line (I mean something like the carriage return 
in WORD, that can be visible or it can be hidden)?
