Changing bibliography appearance

2001-11-29 Thread Roberto Hernandez
Hi all, I've been customizing the appearance of the bibliography. One thing I did was to remove the labels, as suggested in the LyX Tips page: --- No Labels in Bibliography with \renewcommand\@biblabel[1]{} --- When an entry in the bibliography

Problem including files.

Hi all, I'm working on a long document, so I split it up into several files. Everything was working well until I included the file with the appendices. When I try to generate the PS file I get an error message: LaTeX error: Something's wrong, perhaps a missing \item. The strange thing is

How do I control the maximum footnote size.

2002-01-24 Thread Roberto Hernandez
Hey everyone, I'm writing a document where I have some very long footnotes. After a certain number of lines, the footnotes get split, so part of the text is on the next page. This isn't the behavior I want. What I'd like is the whole footnote in one page, even if LaTeX thinks that doesn't

Hi, I need to convert PNG files to EPS so I can include them in a LyX document. I've tried using convert and it works, but the output looks pretty bad on GV. Is that a convert problem or do all PNG - EPS conversions look bad? What I'm doing is documenting a program, so I'm including
