Right-click on your BibTeX generated references field, and check "Add bibliography to toc". Does that help? Otherwise I guess you can put bibtotoc or bibtotocnumbered (if you want it numbered) in the options field of the document settings (Layout - Document). Jeannette

I did my title page entirely in Lyx (with a lot of ERT though). I use the
report (koma-script) class and just put the stuff I wanted between
\begin{titlepage} and \end{titlepage}. Works quite fine, I formatted the
title etc. by hand and put a lot of \vfill commands in between.

I seem to remember this error from when I tried to install lyx-1.3.3/qt on my machinge (Suse 8.0). I solved it by installing the bluesky fonts in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1. Though it took me quite some time before I found what was going wrong Make sure to run texhash after installing any fonts. Hope that helps. Jeannette

That should work, at least it works for me. The same goes for figures. You can rename the 'cap:' to 'fig:' or 'table:' if you want. Jeannette

Put (in ERT):
\renewcommand\thepage{\roman{page}}
\setcounter{page}{1}
where you want to start with the roman numbering (e.g. right before the toc),
and
\renewcommand\thepage{\arabic{page}}
\setcounter{page}{1}
where you want to start the arabic numbering. If you use
\begin{titlepage}
...stuff on your titlepage...
\end{titlepage}
the titlepage has no page number. I don't know if this works for all document
classes, though. I use report (koma-script) for my thesis.

There should be something like unsrt.bst, but you can also create your own
bibtex style with latex makebst.
Good luck!

Jean-Pierre, The eps files do not contain any orientation info (as far as I can tell from checking on them in a text editor). They are exported in portrait mode, and they show up right in LyX. Strange, too, if I only include only one of the files, everything works fine, but when I include the same file twice on the same page (in a table), it doesn't... Thanks anyway. Jeannette
page rotated in pdf-output?
Dear list, I am preparing a presentation using prosper. The orientation of the whole document should be landscape. However, in the pdf output (view-pdf) one page is rotated to a portrait position when I put some eps figures on it, which makes it pretty unreadable.. First I thought this was because the figures have a greater height then width, but even after changing this, this strange behavior remains. I tried pdf figures, but that did not work either. I'm using LyX 1.3.2 on SuSe 8.0, acroread Converters: ps2pdf, epstopdf BTW: view-pdflatex (with pdflatex) results in strange output, no color background, no landscape at all, papersize far to big... Any help would be very much appreciated. Jeannette

Juergen and Helge, Thank you very much for your hints. That helped a lot. Regards, Jeannette
How to cross-reference subfigures?
Dear list, I am writing my diploma thesis with lyx and up to now things work great. However, there is one issue I could not solve so far: I have quite many subfigures in my figure floats, which I would like cross-reference in the text. I did not find any hint on this in the documentation, and the link on subfigures on Herbert's pages seems to be dead. I can circumvent this problem by just adding "a" or "b" after the reference on the figure, but I do not really like that solution. I'm sure a better knowledge of latex or at least a good book would help a lot, but unfortunately a have neither yet... Thank you, Jeannette

Fwd: [pyblio] open source bibliography [LyX in Nature]
-- Forwarded Message -- Subject: [pyblio] open source bibliography Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2003 11:56:15 -0700 From: Eric Zollars <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Pybliographer ML <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> All- Thought you might be interested. This was published in the most recent issue of Nature. Oddly, the BibTeX format is not mentioned. *Open-source answer to bibliography problem* */Sir/* – David M. Leslie and Meredith J. Hamilton say in their Correspondence "Multitude of reference styles delays publication" that a standard format is needed for citation and bibliography styles. The well-established LaTex family of open-source packages is such a system. Many journals in the physical and mathematical sciences provide their bibliographic style files directly on their websites, reducing the problem of format management. Life-sciences journals could easily follow their example. Leslie and Hamilton repeat a familiar objection to LaTeX: the learning curve takes away time from research work. This problem has largely been solved in the form of an open-source graphical interface to LaTeX called LyX (http://www.lyx.org), providing standard functionality such as cut/paste and spell-checking. New users are relieved of the time investment necessary for using LaTeX alone, yet they still derive its well-known performance benefits. The Lyx interface handles standard file formats, most significantly Adobe PDF, which many journals require for electronic submission. It is therefore compatible with other tools used by authors to view, share and submit their written work. Leslie and Hamilton discuss one standardization tool, the digital object identifier (DOI). But although there is substantial incentive for publishers to adopt DOI for increased visibility and accessibility, the benefits of simply changing long-established reference and citation styles are unclear. LaTeX/LyX may represent a more realistic solution. We hope investigators will also consider such open-source applications in the broader context of conducting their scientific work as suggested in your Editorial "In praise of open software" *Michael C.

I did play around a bit to get good-looking images and charts in Lyx. The best way I found so far for creating such figures is either exporting to eps directly for printing to a ps file, than run it through ps2eps. In some cases the pdf output does not look very good on screen, but it usually does so when printed. Jeannette

I'm not an expert, but for my thesis I just put the command bibtotocnumbered
in Layout - Document - Options. Works fine for me, i.e. the toc includes
references, preceded by a section number.

Should be obsolete then.
