Headers when using \includepdf ?

2007-03-10 Thread curtis osterhoudt
Hi, all, I have found the easiest way to include formatted source code into a LyX document is to use the \includepdf command. It works great, except that I see no way to get the master document's page numbers (or any header) on those pages. I've seen that a few other people have had th

Hi, Steve, I haven't tried it yet for single-column mode (I use it for *forcing* a 3-columned index), but the package "multicol" http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/multicol.html might work for you. In my preamble, I have the following: %%% %

Hi, LyXers, Questions about this have come up in the past, but I can't find an exact answer, so I'll venture to ask here. I often refer to appendices in my dissertation. They're LyX files with Chapter labels next to the chapter titles. They're included in my master document, and the gro

Hi, all,Upon compiling my LyX document, which contains lots of Includes, a Table of Contents, Index, Lists of Figures and Tables, etc., the LyX frontend reports that there's "No room for a new \write" (similarly, using pdflatex from the command line on the .tex file fails). I've done a littl

Hi, Philipp and Rich (and others),On linux, at least, with the QT interface for LyX, I insert xfig figures with Insert -> File ->External Material. Then a pdflatex run includes everything nicely, including "special" text. I, too, invariably start XFig with the special flags set, because I

Cheers, all,This is an almost purely theoretical question, so feel free to ignore.In my preamble, I have a command to change the font for figures and tables. It works fine on "regular" floats (the captions are of smaller font and single-spaced, whereas the regular text is double-spaced).

ompile LyX with some things changed. I have not tried these things, although I might if I can't find another solution. Is there now an easier way to get a single end-of-document sectioned bibliography with LyX? It seems to me that the "Sectioned bibliography" checkbox isn't what I want, but I could be wrong.
