layout file format versions
Hi All, I am trying for the first time to setup a layout file, and have got some way forwards, however I am uncertain of the importance of the 'format' command in the layout file. The customization manual indicates that it refers to version 2 however the book.layout I'm basing my layout on uses version 4 and try as I might I can't locate any information about this version. Can some one point me in the right direction? Or better still tell me it doesn't matter much and I can stop worrying about it. Thanks Ian

Re: layout file format versions
If your LyX use format 4, then I recommend that you use format 4 yourself too. Helge Hafting I think you are right Helge - I'll use version 4. Eventually someone will update the documentation and all will be clear. Ian
Boxes in books
Hi All, I'm involved in writing an academic textbook and we are wanting to use 'Boxes' to highlight aspects of topics. We are inserting a box then formating it from the context menu, but we have not found an elegant way to reference the boxes. The documentation says boxes are unnumbered, so what we are doing is placing a label at the start of the box text, and hoping that will provide sufficient functionality. Ideally we would like to be able to build a table of Boxes and insert cross references to boxes in the text. Has anyone else devised a nice solution to this? Also are boxes automatically 'float' items, or should we be placing them in floats as well? We are currently using the Cambridge University Press latex style cupbook.sty but this is not essential to the project. Regards Ian (Ian Holliday)
