Re: clearing entries in a table (feature request?)
Select everything with the mouse and press 'Del'. Yes, I did try that but it doesn't work here. Probably cos I use Debian-ppc on an iBook which has one "delete" key that's mapped to backspace and so no real way of getting a delete as in a PC... is there a way by which I can specify the commands in some ui file and have it appear as a menu option in Edit -> Tabular? nirmal
Re: clearing entries in a table (feature request?)
M-x delete-forward should works as a substitute to a 'real' delete key press. Awesome! I put this in the ui file too and it all works great! Thanks, nirmal
Re: Tables with columns with the same width
I would like to know how to set the columns having the same width. Could somebody here please help me? You can do this by setting the width of each column to be a percentage of the entire table width. So if you had 4 columns, then you can set each column's width to 25%.. To do this - with the cursor somewhere in a column, right click on the the column and in the box that pops up, put in 25 in the width box and select "col%" from the drop down menu to the right (I think it's col% that you want but you can play around with the other % options too to see what works best).. repeat for each column... not sure if there's a way to do this for all columns at one go - selecting all columns and doing the above doesn't seem to work... nirmal

Re: Lab manual
Um.. if you mean something like in the screenshot at this page http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/Tips/MultipleLyxCodeInSingleEnumerate Hi Christian.. I think there's something missing in those instructions: increase the depth (M-p Right) and then write and change it to followed by M-Enter so that we don't change the depth. We now have: Now write foo --widget=blah, C-Enter, foo --widget=blah and Enter. We now have: Before the last line above, shouldn't there be a change to the LyX-code environment with a M-p c and then an M-p Right to get the same depth as the first set of LyX-code text? If I do the above what's quoted above, I get foo --widget=blah in text mode aligned with and change it to. Secondly, to get what Karsten has on the screenshot, the two lines which look like the following: Then write foo --widget=blub and use C-Enter to get a new line, where you write bar /dev/null and press need to be modified and the C-Enter replaced with M-Enter. nirmal

I've made the changes... it is better to say verbatim instead of code done.. - Why LaTeX: a list of appendices is not created by default. This needs some tricky additional code. Ok, will take that out... I've been meaning to write up some of the appendix related information that several of us have obtained from this list since there's not much documentation on this right now... or maybe there is but I'm not aware of it - so if anyone has anything written up on this topic, can you please email a link to it (or send it to the LyX Documentation team I guess)... - Why LyX: Bugs (if any) are fixed pretty soon ... have a look at http://bugzilla.lyx.org and count the open bugs ... hmm... 1255 (new/assigned/verified/reopened) + 70 (unconfirmed) ... ok, I'll change that..

Re: citations extend beyond margin (was Re: hyperlink extends beyond margin)
I prefer latin modern ... ;-) and build my PDF's in general with VTeX/Free. I tried out all the combinations again.. the ps2pdf output with cm-super looked marginally better than ps2pdf with lmodern when viewed on screen here.. pdflatex with lmodern does look great.. the reason I didn't use this method was cos I have eps figures in most of my files which don't convert to pdf (they're Illustrator generated eps figures and they somehow don't convert to pdf.. I'd mentioned this in a thread earlier)... and strangely, the pdf generated by Illustrator destroys the quality of the image... I guess I'll need to generate jpg files from now on and then use pdflatex.. (VTeX looks great but it's not available on powerpc linux)
Re: citations extend beyond margin (was Re: hyperlink extends beyond margin)
did you ever try the sequence eps2eps and then epstopdf? Yes, I did the last time when Angus suggested it.. it gave me an error then (not sure if it was eps2eps or epstopdf) but now eps2eps converts to eps and then the epstopdf works... (may be cos I'm trying different figures) ... but the image quality of the pdf is very poor... Angus mentioned that eps2eps converts to bitmap so that's probably the reason... thanks, nirmal

(a little bit of Googling didn't turn up anything) I've made this change to the slide in any case.. - Why LaTeX: you should make a difference between environments and commands, e.g. title, author, chapter, ... are no Good point.. I've made the changes... it is better to say verbatim instead of code done.. - Why LaTeX: a list of appendices is not created by default. This needs some tricky additional code. Ok, will take that out... I've been meaning to write up some of the appendix related information that several of us have obtained from this list since there's not much documentation on this right now... or maybe there is but I'm not aware of it - so if anyone has anything written up on this topic, can you please email a link to it (or send it to the LyX Documentation team I guess)... - Why LyX: Bugs (if any) are fixed pretty soon ... have a look at http://bugzilla.lyx.org and count the open bugs ... hmm... 1255 (new/assigned/verified/reopened) + 70 (unconfirmed) ... ok, I'll change that.. I should probably rephrase it and say Extremely responsive developers and users .. ;-) and last but not least, well done. Thanks.. nirmal
Re: citations extend beyond margin (was Re: hyperlink extends beyond margin)
I prefer latin modern ... ;-) and build my PDF's in general with VTeX/Free. I tried out all the combinations again.. the ps2pdf output with cm-super looked marginally better than ps2pdf with lmodern when viewed on screen here.. pdflatex with lmodern does look great.. the reason I didn't use this method was cos I have eps figures in most of my files which don't convert to pdf (they're Illustrator generated eps figures and they somehow don't convert to pdf.. I'd mentioned this in a thread earlier)... and strangely, the pdf generated by Illustrator destroys the quality of the image... I guess I'll need to generate jpg files from now on and then use pdflatex.. (VTeX looks great but it's not available on powerpc linux)
Re: citations extend beyond margin (was Re: hyperlink extends beyond margin)
did you ever try the sequence eps2eps and then epstopdf? Yes, I did the last time when Angus suggested it.. it gave me an error then (not sure if it was eps2eps or epstopdf) but now eps2eps converts to eps and then the epstopdf works... (may be cos I'm trying different figures) ... but the image quality of the pdf is very poor... Angus mentioned that eps2eps converts to bitmap so that's probably the reason... thanks, nirmal

choice (Eclipse) or becuase they actually make life easier (LyX vs. LaTeX), I thought they almost always made life easier.. and maybe I'm wrong... but in any case, with the bib files, I sure do think they do.. nirmal

Re: citations extend beyond margin (was Re: hyperlink extends beyond margin)
With pdflatex still use latin modern fonts (package lmodern) or the cm-super (needs a lot of memory). There is no need to use ps2pdf. Yes, I played around with these a couple weeks ago and I can't remember why but I decided that the output from ps2pdf with cm-super was the best... will try again and see if I can figure out why I came to that conclusion.. :-) nirmal

citations extend beyond margin (was Re: hyperlink extends beyond margin)
Hi.. I didn't get any response to this question so I'm rephrasing it.. :-) (actually, I found out what the *real* problem is) The problem is actually not with hyperlinks, the problem is that when a citation occurs near the end of the line, the citation will extend beyond the margin if it doesn't fit on that line the problem is severe when I cite using the Full author list option for citations and I have more than two authors... how I do I specify that it's OK to split the citation between lines?

Re: citations extend beyond margin (was Re: hyperlink extends beyond margin)
Have you tried adding \sloppy to your preamble ? This will make latex break the line before long words. Yes, I did try that but sloppy only justifies words on a line, and it still treats the long citation as a compound word. So although, it does alleviate the problem, it doesn't completely solve it - I'm hoping that there's some way of breaking this compound word... Thanks for the suggestion.. nirmal
Re: citations extend beyond margin (was Re: hyperlink extends beyond margin)
This problem depends on your bibliography style or extra packages you use. Normally (when using natbib), long citation are broken into lines. I do use natbib.. I changed the style from asa (Amer. Stat. Assn.) to plainnat and apalike and it still persists. did you run ps2pdf or pdflatex? Herbert Good one Herbert! It happens only when I generate pdf's from a dvi file (or view a dvi file or a PS file).. so basically, pdflatex is able to split the citation across lines whereas latex isn't... very interesting.. do you know of any way to get latex to do the same? i.e. to get the dvi/PS file also to split the citation across lines? (reason I ask is that I have fine-tuned my converters so that ps2pdf results in a doc that has good fonts that show up well in Acroread... so it would be nice if I can get the same using ps2pdf also) Thanks, nirmal
Re: Bibliographic entries
Rich - you may want to take a look at some of the frontends out there that create the bib file for you.. so you'll just have to enter the info. into nice GUIs... gBib and sixpack are on Linux systems, there's tkbibtex on Windows... there're a few more like EndNote and pybliographer too that you can try.. nirmal

Re: Bibliography is gone :-((
two more pages of text and now lyx regrets creating a bibliography. Lyx places questionmarks instead when I print in dvi, pdf or on real printer. That's I've encountered this a few times and have found no reasonable explanation for it.. just that references that used to show up suddenly stop showing up... my solution to this (which almost always works) is to manually delete the .bbl file in the working directory and then view DVI/PS/PDF which will re-create the .bbl file.. this may help in your case... nirmal
