Re: how to add a caption to a Box inset?

[Justin Wood]

I've been using this module and it's almost exactly what I need. I changed
the layout to NumberWithin = chapter to give me Box 1.1, 1.2, etc. But I
need to change a few other things... so here's a shopping list:

1. align the caption left, and set font parameters. Can I do that with
{caption} package somehow; if not, where in the LaTeX preamble is that
controlled? (Attempts to change, eg, kern8pt haven't worked.)

2. separate paragraphs with blank line the same as LyX does for normal text;
add blank line after Box caption too.

** 3. make use of cross references to the Box Float label. At the moment
this doesn't work with reference (/ref) or Formatted reference
(/prettyref) modes — both simply produce 'subsection ??'. Most importantly I
just want the reference to be 'Box 1.1', same as for figure floats; the
numbering is crucial.

I'm frustrated not to be able to figure this out for myself but so far LaTeX
is continuing to defeat me...

Thanks all!

Re: how to add a caption to a Box inset?

[Justin Wood]

I've been using this module and it's almost exactly what I need. I changed
the layout to NumberWithin = chapter to give me Box 1.1, 1.2, etc. But I
need to change a few other things... so here's a shopping list:

1. align the caption left, and set font parameters. Can I do that with
{caption} package somehow; if not, where in the LaTeX preamble is that
controlled? (Attempts to change, eg, kern8pt haven't worked.)

2. separate paragraphs with blank line the same as LyX does for normal text;
add blank line after Box caption too.

** 3. make use of cross references to the Box Float label. At the moment
this doesn't work with reference (/ref) or Formatted reference
(/prettyref) modes — both simply produce 'subsection ??'. Most importantly I
just want the reference to be 'Box 1.1', same as for figure floats; the
numbering is crucial.

I'm frustrated not to be able to figure this out for myself but so far LaTeX
is continuing to defeat me...

Thanks all!

 * Put the attached module in the layouts folder of your user directory

 folder yet, create it)

 * Restart LyX

 * Go to DocumentsSettings...Modules, select the module Boxed Float and
 hit

 You should not be able to select a framed float from InsertFloats. The
 float
 does not exactly look like you want (the caption is outside the box). If
 you
 want to have the caption inside the box, the following definition in your
 document preamble (while using the Boxed Float module) should help:

 \usepackage{framed}
 \newcommand\flo...@simplerule[2]{{\@f...@cfont #1 #2}\par}

Thanks for the help, Jürgen. I'm not that great with using LaTeX directly,
but is this on the right track for the boxedminipage style?
\usepackage{boxedminipage} in the preamble; then

 \begin{boxedminipage}[c]{1\columnwidth}

\label{Box: hydrological cycle}Some text, blah blah\end{boxedminipage}


I inserted that as Tex code within LyX. I get a box this way, but I, err,

 Then put a box inside this float.

 There's also a boxed style which puts the float in the box in the first
