How to get longtables to work?
Hi The settings for longtables is disabled when I try to access them... After reading http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Modules I place the the longtables module in ~/.lyx, reconfigured my tools in Lyx and restarted it. The module has unfortunately not appeared in the documents- settings and longtables are still disabled. Am I missing something? It seems a bit strange to have a menu item as part of the default program but disabled and requiring you to manually install a module. Regards -- Gerhardus Geldenhuis

Selective page numbering...
Hi I have a fairly large table that just about fits onto one page. I prefer it to be only one one page and not split it across two pages. The problem is that the page number is displaying over the table and I would prefer it not to do that. Is there any way to get the page number not to overwrite the table or get it not to display for a specific page? Regards -- Gerhardus Geldenhuis

nomeclature misbehaving
Hi I added two nomenclature entries to test it out and it worked a treat. I have now added a few more and it suddenly refuses to render my document. The error I get is: LaTeX Error: Lonely \item--perhaps a missing list environment. To add new nomenclature entries I used the Insert menu item to add them. What is strange/buggy is that when you have added an item and you add a new item the previous item still shows up in the menu and you have to delete the content to be able to add a different nomenclature entry. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Gerhardus Geldenhuis

Making Appendix word display as part of TOC
Hi Is there a way to prepend Appendixes in the Table of Contents by the word Appendix? At the moment the only change in my TOC is the numbering but I would like to make a clear distinction between content and Appendix. The lyx user manual does not make mention of how to do this nor does the manual itself do what I want as I could have used the user manual source as example. A second price might be to just say Appendix A, rather than A for which I have found a way of doing. Regards -- Gerhardus Geldenhuis

Re: μ breaks document
Thanks,
I have used the correct way and the shortcut works a treat.
It looks like you do not have a Greek font
(TeX font in LGR font encoding) matching the main document font.
The above sentence is all Greek to me ( pun intended). But seriously I
would expect the software to take care of these types of details in the
background. There should not be a need for me to add and remove fonts and I
were I to need a symbol from the greek font I would not know how to add it.
Thanks again for the help.

Hi
I get the following error whenever I try to add a μ to my document.
The error I get is:
of the grain measure was 30\textgreek{m}
m. The average grain size
I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.

You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\fontsame font id=substitute font name'.
The method I used to add the character was by inserting a special
character
and then choosing the Greek list of characters and looking for micro/mu.
These are two different Unicode characters
with different replacements:
0x00b5 \\textmu textcomp force # µ MICRO SIGN
0x03bc \\textgreek{m} textgreek # GREEK SMALL LETTER MU
maybe you used the (correct) one in previous attempts
(on my Debian system with german xkbmap, I get the micro sign by pressing
AltGr-M).

Unwittingly triggering maths symbol
Hi
I have the following reference in my reference file which is used by
BibText bibliography:
@Misc{ wds-carleton.edu,
title = Wavelength-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy WDS,
author = Darrell Henry and John Goodge,
month = November,
year = 2007,
url = http://serc.carleton.edu/research_education/geochemsheets/browse.html
}
Whenever I add the url I get the following error when trying to render a
pdf version of the document.
ts/browse.html}
I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.
How can I convince the renderer to ignore the url?
I am using Lyx 2.0.0 on Ubuntu
