Re: Translate LyX document to another language
Thanks, Dr Eberhard W Lisse. The idea is to get a LyX file as the result, but I understand it is something very difficult to achieve.

No, Paul. There is a better approach: The one presented at the
web-address I mention on my initial message: In the horizontal
alignment, insert:
@{}c|c@{}
and select no matrix decoration. Then enter the brackets as you
suggested. You will see that the extra white space between brackets
and matrix will be gone.
I would suggest that LyX implements this approach: Augmented matrices
are shown very nicely and neatly.

Thanks, Paul. I imagined your "View > Code Preview Pane" idea, but I though it would be easier to read the documentation, if there is some. (The file format of tables in LyX does not appear to be simple.) Regarding your other idea -- using xtable() or ktable -- I guess it is not very practical in my case, as I have too many table (about 50 tables), and therefore I would like to insert all of them in their right place in the LyX document, to avoid the work of copying and pasting 50 times! Paul
Lyx file format for tables
Dear All, Where can one find the specifications of the LyX file format for tables? The reason why I am asking that is because I have a bunch of tables that I want to export from R to a single LyX document, and the approach I am considering is to produce in R a text file in LyX format with all my tables inserted.

Thanks, Uwe. There was an error with
\@ifundefined{extrarowheight}
{\usepackage{array}}{}
but after having removed that, it works perfectly. I mean, it suffices to use
\setlength{\extrarowheight}{2pt}
and

Show all authors when citing BibTeX entry
Dear All, Consider a BibTeX entry with 3 authors. With the style apalike, when citing this BibTeX entry, I get something like the following in the pdf file: Author1 et al. (2000). Is it possible instead to get something like the following in the pdf file: Author1, Author2 and Author3 (2000) ? Thanks in advance, Paul

Advanced Find and Replace
Dear All, I would like first to congratulate the LyX team for the stupendous program that they have developed for us -- LyX. In particular, I would like to express my gratitude regarding the great tool "Find & Replace (Advanced)" just added to LyX. However, I think that two import features are missing in this new "Find & Replace (Adavnced)" tool: 1. search for formatted text (e.g., search for a piece of text in bold); 2. search only in user-selected pieces of the document. Do you agree with me? (I am using lyx-2.0.0-0.21.rc3.fc14.x86_64.) Thanks in advance, Paul

Bug with label and multiline
Dear All, Please, do the following: 1. open a multiline AMS box; 2. write a equation; 3. insert the label 'eq:01' into your equation; 4. press control+enter; 5. try now to change the label again to 'eq:01'? Can you see a suffix to be appended to your new label without your consent? LyX presumes that the label is duplicated, but it is not in fact the case, it seems to me.

Thanks, Murray. Inspired by your example, I created a LyX example that
actually works. The procedure is the following:
1. CONTROL + SHIFT + M;
2. Insert --> Math --> Delimiters;
3. Insert the unmatched bracket;
4. Insert -- > Math --> Aligned environment;
5. Insert the equations;
6. Insert the equivalence symbol;
7. Insert the second system of equations.
An example file is attached.

With the array environment, there is not enough vertical space between

I am not sure whether I am understating correctly what you mean, but why do not you select the first row and change the characters to bold face, for instance?

Problem with accented characters when autocomplete is on
