 echo=TRUE, it does not as it is not in verbtim. If I
 set the environment of the ERT to Verbatim, it still does not compile.

 What am I missing?

 Thanks,

 Rainer

Thanks!! I too have been looking for an integrated Sweave-LyX-Beamer
setup. I've had some scattered issues with Beamer itself in LyX without
Sweave, and I've never had the chance to troubleshoot or document them.
I'll check this out!

Re: Books in LyX: Was How to import separate chapters into document?

1. I've seen your web site, Steve, and I must say it's a remarkable
body of work and a great resource!

2. I think I'm going to be closer to Rich in the ebooks I write. I'll
take the defaults whenever possible. I do a lot with the
latex-beamer package, but I also use the R - LyX Sweave interface.
But you do need to know LaTeX to figure out what's broken when you do
a view PDF and get a cryptic error message out of pdftex.
Fortunately, LyX gives you a blue highlight close to where the
problem is.

3. I do find LyX / latex-beamer frustrating, though. Till Tantau, who
wrote latex-beamer and also the pgf / tkiz tool set, has made some
absolutely stunning lecture notes with these tools. But I can't for
the life of me figure out how to make my own presentations that
beautiful, even though I've read the manuals and looked at the code.
In any event, the tools *are* there.

4. There are instructions in the LyX documentation on how to do a
modular document by including sub-documents. The projects I've done
so far haven't needed that, but I'm starting a big one that will need
that.
