Re: new google docs interface, with wave backend. (collaboration trends)

Boys I made a polite question because I can offer a personalized and charge
free SVN service to Lyx. Weirdly enough, I received no answer. Intilinux
Projects, see here:
http://projects.intilinux.com/
We are Italians but I speak English perfectly so there's no problem if u
need anything: we can not only host u but also give u all the coding
services u need: svn, bzr, cvs, forums, anything u need really. Now, can u
please tell me if ou services are needed?

Re: Images trop grande

[Luca De Marini]

Hallo, no the picture is not auto fitting. You have to click on it, a
preferences window will open. From there you set the dimensions of the
picture: a nice idea is to set is to be large as a percentage of the written
text.
Play with preferences and you'll see! :)

 Doable but not easy.
 Start LyX, then try Help-Additional Features. There, read section 7.4
 Non-standard Paragraph Shapes

 Text can be typeset into any kind of paragraph shape, but you currently
 have to specify the exact shape through series of line-length commands.

 Now, LyX is software, so it'd be possible to extend it to find the
 outline of a png, and emit all those commands automatically. But nobody has
 done that yet.


Not usable by me for now, but that's very interesting, I think this is an
important feature for many kind of works, well, it depends on what the
target should be in any case, but it's a good idea to be very flexible,
so... I think this will be code one day maybe ;)
And it will be a really nice feature because, since it's hard to do this
kind of things in LaTeX, making it automatic will surely be an important
step forward for a lot of people. I'd love this for example.

Re: How to remove page numbers?

I think u should add this line in the preamble:

well, the preamble's easy to find anyway :)

Re: Wrapping text REALLY around a picture

[Luca De Marini]

2009/11/27 Yago diazd...@ono.com

 I use normally the command \vspace*{}and I try a balance between the width
 of the figure box and the margin between this box and the wrapped text. With
 something like this:

 \begin{wrapfigure}{r}{5cm}
 \vspace{-10pt}
 \includegraphics[width=4.7cm]{figure}
 \vspace{-10pt}
 \end{wrapfigure}


Uhm, this looks interesting though I didn't understand very well: can I use
it as an eert to put into Lyx? I think this can be used instead of a
floating figure? I mean, I see {figure}, do I have to put my full path and
name of the figure inside there? In any case I'm not sure of what this is
all about. Will this make the text wrap my figure tight using real
transparency? That was what I needed.
If u think this can be done, is there a way to ert this into Lyx somehow? Or
how do you call this effect, so that I can google better about this?
Thanks,

Luca

Re: problema di greco

[Luca De Marini]

Just to keep you informed (i think u have all the right to be informed since
u helped so much), I translated everything for Felice and he thanks me and
all of you for helping him. I don't know if he solved his problem but some
days have passed and he didn't ping me back, so I assume he's done and
mission's accomplished ;)
Greetings everyone,

 HI Guenter,

 thanks for the update. Things must have changed in LyX language support
 since the last time I used Greek (a couple of years ago or so). I do not
 remember a Greek(polutoniko) language option, for example. Good to know the
 situation has improved, since I will need it again soon.

 S.

 ERT is usually not needed. The recommended method is to use
  Unicode input. For single words, there is no need to set the language.
 
  If the language is set, you can also type Latin and it will be
  transliterated. Accents except the ~ work too.
  You can type p'asqein to get the appropriate accents

Re: problema di greco

[Luca De Marini]

Felice spiego alla Lista e poi sono da te a fine mail:

Ok, his question can be resumed in:

-
Lyx doesn't support Greek language.
Any other program I tried can, using extra greek fonts, that I have, allow
me to insert in my book Greek sentences.
In the latest email Felice sent, he's just saying that he needs to insert in
his book some prays in ancient Greek.
-

So, basically, I'm assuming he's having troubles writing in ancient Greek
and since I never tried to do this (I don't need to), I googled a bit (don't
be evil with Felice, looks like he cannot read or write Eng, therefore, it's
pretty impossible to use Google that way...) and found out these interesting
entries:

http://x46.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=600471579CONTEXT=956797275.1420820487hitnum=0
http://x46.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=523098925CONTEXT=956797275.1420820487hitnum=5
http://x46.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=493287688CONTEXT=956797275.1420820487hitnum=6


Also, some clues are pointing to this page:

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/greek/yannis/

What I didn't find is a step-by-step page to translate for him,
explaining exactly what he has to do to be ready-set-go. Can anyone
suggest him some tutorial or just tell him what he needs to do? I'll
do the translation part, don't worry.


Allora Felice, ho spiegato il tuo problema per bene alla lista ed ho
anche trovato quei link che vedi sopra, solo che penso che se
conoscessi l'Inglese avresti già provveduto a cercare su Google da
solo, quindi, ho anche chiesto se qualcuno ti può fornire istruzioni
dettagliate o una pagina con un tutorial. Io ti aiuterò spiegandoti in
Italiano cosa fare ma quello che appare evidente è che scrivere in
Greco con Lyx o LateX in genere non sembra essere un problema per
nessuno che sappia come fare (leggi: si può fare).

Ciao,


Luca

 If I correctly understand that what Google Translate produced from

 were many success stories on this list about greek, polytonic greek,
 ancient greek in LyX. Please form you questions in English and I am
 sure they will be answered.

Re: problema di greco

[Luca De Marini]

Felice spiego alla Lista e poi sono da te a fine mail:

Ok, his question can be resumed in:

-
Lyx doesn't support Greek language.
Any other program I tried can, using extra greek fonts, that I have, allow
me to insert in my book Greek sentences.
In the latest email Felice sent, he's just saying that he needs to insert in
his book some prays in ancient Greek.
-

So, basically, I'm assuming he's having troubles writing in ancient Greek
and since I never tried to do this (I don't need to), I googled a bit (don't
be evil with Felice, looks like he cannot read or write Eng, therefore, it's
pretty impossible to use Google that way...) and found out these interesting
entries:

http://x46.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=600471579CONTEXT=956797275.1420820487hitnum=0

http://x46.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=493287688CONTEXT=956797275.1420820487hitnum=6


Also, some clues are pointing to this page:

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/greek/yannis/

What I didn't find is a step-by-step page to translate for him,
explaining exactly what he has to do to be ready-set-go. Can anyone
suggest him some tutorial or just tell him what he needs to do? I'll
do the translation part, don't worry.


Allora Felice, ho spiegato il tuo problema per bene alla lista ed ho
anche trovato quei link che vedi sopra, solo che penso che se
conoscessi l'Inglese avresti già provveduto a cercare su Google da
solo, quindi, ho anche chiesto se qualcuno ti può fornire istruzioni
dettagliate o una pagina con un tutorial. Io ti aiuterò spiegandoti in
Italiano cosa fare ma quello che appare evidente è che scrivere in
Greco con Lyx o LateX in genere non sembra essere un problema per
nessuno che sappia come fare (leggi: si può fare).

Ciao,

 Greets,


 Did you ever use Reconfigure menu option in LyX after TeX distro
 re-installation? If not, please try.


Of course I did, thanks :)




 Also open the Terminal and give a
 sudo texhash
 (you need an admin password).


Never tried this but it didn't work.
Not the funny thing is that I tried another file (sorry, I didn't think it
could work with another file) and it worked!
So I created a new document, copied everything from the previous one and
copied it in the new one and now it compiles! I really don't understand what
was wrong with my other file, it used to work some months ago! Maybe
something changed in laTex code for preambles? The only different things I
can see from a doc to the other is related to the preamble... Ok guys, in
any case, problem solved, thanks for your assistance :)

Cannot export to pdf in Mac OSX Snow Leopard

[Luca De Marini]

Hallo people, I'm having an hard time using Lyx in Snow Leopard...
I'm usin Lyx 1.6.3 right now because I cannot in any mode connect to the Lyx
page and all relative pages (wiki, download, etc...), I don't know if the
problem depends on that but I don't think so. I think there's some problem
with Tex itself..
When I open Lyx and one of my documents and then click on the icon with pdf
symbol, hoping for preview to open for me the pdf document, nothing happens.
Same if I try to export the pdf or a vdi, anything, I cannot preview my
documents (not even odt works).
I googled a lot, downloaded TexShop 2.26 (I didn't have it before and all
worked nevertheless) and nothing changed. Now I'm downloading MacTex again
(very big file) but I don't think anything will be solved, there's something
I'm missing. I even found this page:
http://www.tug.org/mactex/faq/#qm10
and followed all indications. Something changed indeed. Now in Lyx I can see
the LatexSource and I couldn't see it before (I never even knew it existed).
So, any guess on what could my problem be please?

greetings everyone,

Luca

 I use LyX under MacOSX Snow Leopard and I have no problem at all. I suspect
 this
 is related to lack of some software needed. Try to see if you have ps2pdf
 and
 anything else LyX depends on. Mactex should solve the problem I suppose.

RPG Manual with Lyx?

Hallo everybody, I'm writing this because I'd like to start a new adventure
in lyx now that I know a lot about this tool, only fronted-side, not code or
LaTex side, sorry. So, I'm writing a Role Playing game manual here in Italy
and my idea is that of trying to write it with an opensource software. Now,
of course I know that for typography the best tool is Scribus. BUT, I love
Lyx and I managed to create a fantastic colorful thesis for my Architectural
studies with it. It was a 2 columns document with notes, pictures, etc.
An RPG manual is something way more elaborated. WAY MORE. Have a look at
white wolf's manuals to understand the extent of the graphical effort I'm
going to achieve. The problem is, many things cannot be done, from my point
of view, in Lyx to achieve this result. And maybe this is simply not the
tool intended for this kind of result. I need 2 columns pages (OK) with the
possibility to use a picture as a frame for the entire page, or as a
background if you prefer. This picture should be changeable from a section
or from a chapter to another. Say, this chapter has a picture frame of one
kind, then changng chapter I can change the background picture again, etc.
Not only that. I need to be able to put parts of a text, like a citation, a
small emphasized part of the text, something to be outlined, into a fancy
small picture used as a background for it. Fancy tables would be needed too,
but this could even be used with a work-around: I create the tables in Gimp
or something similar, save them as picture and import them into the Lyx
document in a Floating Table frame (for table indexing later).

Now, why I wanna do it in Lyx? Many reasons, the main reasons are:

1) I love Lyx
2) Lyx documents look incredible, very nice, very professional.
Everything is automated and done for good, it is NOT a WYSIWYG and this is
nice to keep focused on the contents.
3) I'm an opensource fan and leader of a GNU / LInux distro (OPenGEU) and
I'd like to show off to the world the powers of opensource software. Lyx is
in my opinion the best thing around in opensource documents managing.
4) Currently all of this is impossible to do in Lyx with normal tools and
GUI commands. Probably the result is achievable with complex code to be
inserted here and there. This is NOT the solution. People cannot use code,
you can't ask people to. So, probably this effort will help Lyx become more
powerful, many new small adjustements could be implemented with a work of
this kind.

Everybody, coders, users, everyone is invited in participating. I think this
is a great occasion to have a powerfuller Lyx, able of achieving even more
incredible results in many more fields of documents processing. Do you think
this is achievable? Anyone wanna help? Remember I'm not trying to do this
for my only personal achievement. It costs zero to me using Scribus instead
and living Lyx alone. It's just that I think this can be a nice fight to try
and win! :)

Re: Donations for the Lyx project: Compare two Lyx documents

[Luca De Marini]

2009/7/9 silvio grosso grossosil...@yahoo.it


 Hello everybody,

 For anyone interested in the option to compare two Lyx documents there is
 the opportunity to donate some money to develop such feature.
 The link in the Lyx webpage to get more information is:
 http://www.lyx.org/Donate
 This feature will be developed by Lyx's developers as soon as It reaches
 the minimum money to get the project started.

 More precisely, the projects aims at compare two documents and generate a
 third document where the differences between the two documents will be
 highlighted using the track change feature (Menu Edit-Change
 Tracking-Enable Change Tracking if you don't know about it).
 So you would have to open the menu File-Compare two Documents then
 select the two documents with a file dialogue one after the other and
 'voila', LyX will generate the third document and open it automatically for
 you.

 At present, there are 1270 euros available but the project needs still 730
 euros to being accepted.

 In conclusion, if you are interested in this new feature and you wish to
 donate a bit of your spare money this project allows you to do so :-)


just a curiosity. Why do they need money, or better, a certain amount of
money? Are they using something like Rentacoder? Because if this is not the
case, I do not understand the need for money.

Greets,

Luca

Re: Adding a non-numbered chapter to Table of Contents

thanks again, bye,

2009/5/13 Richard Talley rich.tal...@gmail.com

 I had this problem recently and it was discussed on this list.

 I have a Chapter* with a title of 'Preface' in a document that I don't
 want numbered (it doesn't make sense to number a preface as chapter
 1), but I do want it in the TOC. The solution was to insert this TeX
 code immediately after the title of the Chapter*.

 \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Preface}

 In your case, substitute your title of the Chapter* for 'Preface' in
 the command.

 You can change the word 'chapter' to 'section' or 'subsection'
 depending on how you wish the non-numbered chapter to appear in the
 TOC.

  how do I have a chapter not to be numbered and still appear in the TOC?
  Understand my problem now? If I convert my *Chapter to a Chapter, it will
 be

  Subject: Adding a non-numbered chapter to Table of Contents
 
   Hallo everyone, sorry for my mails but we are in a hurry and the lyx
 wiki
  is
   not helping me, google neither :(
   When I create a TOC in Lyx, it lists all the chapters, sections, etc.
 in
  my
   book. I can configure it from the document properties, no problem..
   then, another feature in lyx is adding Chapters, Sections, etc. with a
  *
   simbol next to them. Those entries are not numbered or listed in the
 TOC.
   Now, I need to put in the TOC one of these special entries, a special
   *Chapter. I was sure there had to be an option to add a custom entry
 to
   TOC... or a way to solve this in general. Any help please?
  
   Another problem is a little bit complicated to explain: I inserted the
  TOC
   and after that, the first chapter is the famous *Chapter I was talking
  about
   above. My second problem is that in the page where this *Chapter is,
 on
  the
   top of the page I still see the name Table of Contents.. this
 probably
   happens, because Lyx is confused, since there's no ordinary Chapter
 after
   the TOC.. in fact, on the next page there's Chapter 1, and on the top
  left
   of the page I can see the small name: Chapther 1 (the name of the
  chapter
   is of course on the top right corner as usual). So, the problem is
 that I
   have still Table of Contents on the top left corner of the page with
  the
   *Chapter.
  
   Cheers,

I'm not sure of what I had to do...
I added that line to the top of my latex preamble.

  is that the former appears in the toc whilst the later doesn't.
 
  So, if you want a chapter* to appear in the toc, can't you just change
 it
  to a
  chapter?
 
 
  The most important difference I found was that a *chapter was not
 numbered,
  not that it doesn't appar in TOC.
  So, say that my problem can be considered as:
  how do I have a chapter not to be numbered and still appear in the TOC?
  Understand my problem now? If I convert my *Chapter to a Chapter, it will
 be
  numbered (Chapter 1). I don't want it to be numbered.
 
  Cheers,
 
  Luca

  Subject: Adding a non-numbered chapter to Table of Contents
 
   Hallo everyone, sorry for my mails but we are in a hurry and the lyx
 wiki
  is
   not helping me, google neither :(
   When I create a TOC in Lyx, it lists all the chapters, sections, etc.
 in
  my
   book. I can configure it from the document properties, no problem..
   then, another feature in lyx is adding Chapters, Sections, etc. with a
  *
   simbol next to them. Those entries are not numbered or listed in the
 TOC.
   Now, I need to put in the TOC one of these special entries, a special
   *Chapter. I was sure there had to be an option to add a custom entry
 to
   TOC... or a way to solve this in general. Any help please?
  
   Another problem is a little bit complicated to explain: I inserted the
  TOC
   and after that, the first chapter is the famous *Chapter I was talking
  about
   above. My second problem is that in the page where this *Chapter is,
 on
  the
   top of the page I still see the name Table of Contents.. this
 probably
   happens, because Lyx is confused, since there's no ordinary Chapter
 after
   the TOC.. in fact, on the next page there's Chapter 1, and on the top
  left
   of the page I can see the small name: Chapther 1 (the name of the
  chapter
   is of course on the top right corner as usual). So, the problem is
 that I
   have still Table of Contents on the top left corner of the page with
  the
   *Chapter.
  
   Cheers,

 The footer area needs to be cleared. This can be done with

 \ofoot[]{}

 I've overseen this, because my manuscript adds

 % für das Manuskript: aktuelles Datum im Fuß
 \ofoot[\footnotesize Bearbeitungsstand: \today]%
  {\footnotesize Bearbeitungsstand: \today}


I'm not sure of what I had to do...
I added that line to the top of my latex preamble.
I get this error trying to build a pdf:

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

If I put it on the bottom of the latex preable, I see no change to my doc :(

Messed up page numbers - help please

Hallo everyone, in my girlfriend's thesis, Lyx is making up a little
disaster.. page numbers are on the bottom of the page some times and on top
right on other pages, apparently randomly... why? It never happened to me
(I'm talking about the output pdf file of course, setted the doc to be a
book). Can anyone help please? I just need every page number to be on the
top right of the page.
Cheers,

Luca

Re: Messed up page numbers - help please

[Luca De Marini]

Yes. Her teachers do not care about these things, they just think it's an
error. They want all numbers on the same place. Even all numbers on the
bottom of the pages would be ok, as long as every page has the number in the
same position..

TOC... or a way to solve this in general. Any help please?

Another problem is a little bit complicated to explain: I inserted the TOC
and after that, the first chapter is the famous *Chapter I was talking about
above. My second problem is that in the page where this *Chapter is, on the
top of the page I still see the name "Table of Contents".. this probably
happens, because Lyx is confused, since there's no ordinary Chapter after
the TOC.. in fact, on the next page there's Chapter 1, and on the top left
of the page I can see the small name: "Chapther 1" (the name of the chapter
is of course on the top right corner as usual). So, the problem is that I
have still "Table of Contents" on the top left corner of the page with the
*Chapter.

Cheers,

Luca

The most important difference I found was that a *chapter was not numbered,
not that it doesn't appar in TOC.
So, say that my problem can be considered as:
how do I have a chapter not to be numbered and still appear in the TOC?
Understand my problem now? If I convert my *Chapter to a Chapter, it will be
numbered (Chapter 1). I don't want it to be numbered.

Cheers,

Luca

Inserting the List of Figures and List of Tables INTO the TOC

[Luca De Marini]

Hallo everyone, very quick question: how do I have the List of Figures and
List of Tables appear INTO the TOC? I just need an entry in the TOC like:

Chapter x: page2
Chapter y: page10
List of Figures: page 50
List of Tables: page 54

Something like that because my teacher wants me to put the TOC on the
beginning of the document and the lists on the bottom of it, and he wants
the lists to appear in the TOC too of course. I was sure tehre was an
automatic way to do it but at the end I noticed that it was possible only to
put the bibliography page in the TOC, not the page where the lists are..
Please help me, I know this must be a simple solution but I'm not finding it
in the documentation :)

Separate bibliographyes

[Luca De Marini]

Hallo everyone, I am in trouble again :(
I'd need to set up two different bibliographies in my work. One is for the
text itself and one for the pictures. The desired effect is to see something
Called Bibliography at the end of the book, as normally, with a list of
allt he entries. Than I'd need a page break and, in another page, Pictures
Bibliography and a list of all the bibliography entries of the pictures.
Each bibliography, therefore, should be separate from the other one, with a
different name and referring to a different bib file. Is it possible? Or how
can I obtain in another way the same result?

I tried to insert another bibliography in Lyx, so I had two bibliographies
and in each one I inserted a different bib file. The result was that I
obtained two bibliographies, with mixed entries from the 2 files! :(

I saw the sections bibliography option in the document settings... but I
cannot understand how to use it. The only effect I find right now is that it
just removes the Bibliography title and puts the bibliography inside the
nearest chapter, right after the text... but the entires from different
files are all mixed up together as it happens in the other experiment I
tried...

Please help me as soon as you can, Greetings,

Luca D.M.

Re: Problem with the length of tables and figures

[Luca De Marini]

If I got your problem, right click on a picture / table and you should be
able to set the maximum length. It can be a % of the page or it can be
expressed in cm or what you like. I don't remember if it's possible to set a
maximum table lenght but at least you should be able to set the length of
every cell so that the sum is 9cm.
Did I misunderstand the problem? Hope it helped :)

Re: Cannot export files on mac

[Luca De Marini]

Yes sure, with Fink, even though the result error message is:

Si è verificato un errore eseguendo latex2rtf 'PROTOCOLLO_221208.tex' 

That is:

There has been an error executing latex2rtf 'PROTOCOLLO_221208.tex' 

So, I don't know if it should have something to do with imagemagick but
honestly I don't believe rtf has something to do with imagemagick... maybe
this could fix the png problem... but the main error is that I cannot export
in any format :(
Please help me, iut's not just me, it's any damned mac I use, therefore it

be just my ignorance, I'm sure about it! :(

Re: Custom Bibliography

[Luca De Marini]

People, please, isn't really any way of controlling the spacing between
colums? I have to print the document tomorrow :(

2008/12/14 Luca De Marini luca.darkmas...@gmail.com

 Hallo everyone... this is getting me really tired :( On my computer
 bibliography works like a charm and it really is so nice to use and see, but
 today I finally managed to have my girlfriend stay sitted on the damned
 chair, to explain her how to use it and, of course, it didn't work :(
 You know, when you have to show something cool to someone important, well,
 it simply doesn't work having you look like a stupid geek or something.

 Well, now, the problem is that I followed the same steps you showed me
 before with her computer too, so, no jokes.
 I start by telling you I installed Lyx 1.6 over 1.5 as I did on my computer
 previously too (and on my mac it works nice, oh, we both have a mac).

 So, the first strange this is that when I insert the bibliography from the
 Insert menu, after I successfully load my Jabref database, in Style I see
 plainat of course, but I want apalike. So I click on the menu and...
 ta-dn!! There's only plainat... why the heck?! So I downloaded from the
 tex site the apalike package and manually browsed for that one. It shouldn't
 be necessary though, this is a problem, on my mac I see a huge number of
 entries already available!! (In case you where guessing, on both computers I
 installed the full 200+ MB Text distribution)..

 Then, when, in any part of the text body I try to insert a reference,
 choose only numerical [#ID] and try to generate a pdf, I see no bibliography
 at all at the end of the document and instead of the reference number only a
 bastard ? question mark without quotes...

 Of course, and that's cute, if I use the super option, the question mark is
 little over the words :)
 How swet...
 Please help me people.
 I tried everything I got. That is:


- Removed and reinstalled Lyx.
- re-executed the installer several times
- eliminated the preferences folder so that lyx could create a new
preferences folder by itself
- tried the all thing on a new document
- reinstalled the LATEX distribution package


 Nothing worked and honestly I'm out of ideas... :(

Of course, and that's cute, if I use the super option, the question mark is
little over the words :)
How swet...
Please help me people.
I tried everything I got. That is:


   - Removed and reinstalled Lyx.
   - re-executed the installer several times
   - eliminated the preferences folder so that lyx could create a new
   preferences folder by itself
   - tried the all thing on a new document
   - reinstalled the LATEX distribution package


Nothing worked and honestly I'm out of ideas... :(

 It should be added to the illustrated guide indeed, in my opinion.



 You might want ot have a look now at the documentation for natbib, which
 you'll find here:
   http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/natbib.pdf
 and probably in natbib.dvi or natbib.pdf somewhere on your own machine.
 There are lots of other options that can be used.

Multicolumn... spacing between colums and background picture.

[Luca De Marini]

Hallo people, I tried to google for this a lot and to look into the wiki
too, but seems like I cannot find it. I can ensure you I solved a lot of
problems myself by the way :)
So my first question is, is it possible, in a multicolumn document (I only
managed to find the document on 2 colums option.. is is possible to create
the doc on more colums?) to set the spacing between a column and the other?
By default they are very very near, I near to set them a little more far
from each other.

the second question is, is it possible to apply a wallpaper picture to use
as the layout background of the document? I wish I could apply a picture
frame I can design. I know it is possible because I've seen this used in
presentation files created with Lyx but I couldn't understand how did they
manage to do it.. please help me.

Greetings,

Luca D.M.

Re: Custom Bibliography

[Luca De Marini]

Hallo everyone... this is getting me really tired :(On my computer
bibliography works like a charm and it really is so nice to use and see, but
today I finally managed to have my girlfriend stay sitted on the damned
chair, to explain her how to use it and, of course, it didn't work :(
You know, when you have to show something cool to someone important, well,
it simply doesn't work having you look like a stupid geek or something.

Well, now, the problem is that I followed the same steps you showed me
before with her computer too, so, no jokes.
I start by telling you I installed Lyx 1.6 over 1.5 as I did on my computer
previously too (and on my mac it works nice, oh, we both have a mac).

So, the first strange this is that when I insert the bibliography from the
Insert menu, after I successfully load my Jabref database, in Style I see
plainat of course, but I want apalike. So I click on the menu and...
ta-dn!! There's only plainat... why the heck?! So I downloaded from the
tex site the apalike package and manually browsed for that one. It shouldn't
be necessary though, this is a problem, on my mac I see a huge number of
entries already available!! (In case you where guessing, on both computers I
installed the full 200+ MB Text distribution)..

Then, when, in any part of the text body I try to insert a reference, choose
only numerical [#ID] and try to generate a pdf, I see no bibliography at all
at the end of the document and instead of the reference number only a
bastard ? question mark without quotes...

Of course, and that's cute, if I use the super option, the question mark is

Thanks to everyone, reading the documents you linked, I managed to obtain

Thanks to everyone for your help, sure I didn't understimate the power of
Lyx, I just thought it was too hard to achieve my goal, and I was wrong :)

 Have you read the Help document? It contains the basics on how to use
 BibTeX with LyX. Besides, you could have a look into the wiki:
