Well for the simple file name "WhatEver.tex" is just as good as
"WhatEver.lyx"... And I suppose that if I really want a file's actual
pathname to print I could just manually insert it between the curly-braces
of something like \lhead{}. I'd just have to remember to update it if I

Question 1 of 3
Why is the header/footer suppressed on page 1? That is how can I get
headers and/or footers to output on the first page???
- - - - - - - - - s n i p - - - - - - - - - -
Usually, \thispagestyle{fancy} will do the trick though.
Make sure you put this ERT somewhere on the page you want changed.
Thanks for the prompt reply and the informative suggestion. However I
get an error message when I try this.
- - - - - - - - - s n i p - - - - - - - - - -
Ok, now I feel stupid: I'll confess I was trying to insert it to the
filename.lyx file with vim... {Possible if I understood how, but...}
I strongly dislike controlling my software via the mouse so I never
noticed that the TeX icon had help text referring to the unfamiliar term
Evil Red Text. And so didn't yet understand the function of M-i t or
C-l key bindings.
Which I'll admit is a lot easier than using vim to put all this:
\begin_inset ERT
status Open
\layout Standard
\backslash
thispagestyle{fancy}
\end_inset
Just to get this ERT:
\thispagestyle{fancy}
- - - - - - - - - s n i p - - - - - - - - - -
Question 3 of 3
Is there a list of {key words?} that can be used to insert values into
header/footers such as
/thepage current output page number
/today Today's date
etc...
Sure, any latex reference manual should do. Also, search
the web. The LyX homepage have some pointers.
So using the acronym you used above as a guide, I'm guessing I
might find what I'm looking for if I google:
latex ERT
Still haven't found a useful list yet But it was during this search
that I tripped over instructions to use the TeX icon to insert ERTs
so I'm glad I went there...
I'd still like to find a good index/list of values that can be inserted
to the header, footer (and/or I suspect inside the document body via
ERTs) But you've given me enough to make me sure that I can use lyx for
most of my writing needs. Now I can focus mostly on my writing,
confident that I'll like letting lyx take care of MOST of the
typesetting details...
Thanks again Helge!
