Preamble code from the layout file gets double linespacing

I just tried recompiling todays cvs. Running this lyx gave strange results. Any latex code from the preamble gets double linespacing, like this: \newcommand{\mycommand}{ \something \something } which go wrong, as paragraph breaks are not allowed in commands. I am rebuilding after a make

Thank you very much! I did manage to get the numbering in front of my own chapter title and also got rid of the space above the chapter title. Great! However, I still have the space at the end of a chapter before a new chapter starts. Can I somehow let a new chapter start on the same page the

Horizontal Rule

2005-10-24 Thread Daniel Watkins
I'm looking to place a horizontal rule in a document I'm currently working on. However, the standard horizontal rule is ugly (it just goes from one side of the page to the other). How can I tell LyX to put in a line that isn't as long (and what's a typographically good length to have it?)? Thanks

Dear List, I just figured out how to disallow LaTeX to linebreak a math inline formula that resides in the end of a line. Sometimes they turn so awkward when they are breaked in the end of the line. With LaTeX I just type a formula in an \mbox and it solves my problem.. but what about lyx? how

Try writing your formula in LyX the normal way, then putting \mbox{ in ERT to the left of it and } in ERT to the right of it. Paul I just feared that.. so the answer to my question is actually no but yes , oh well.. I guess there is no other way. Thanks Sincerely, Jose Capco
