I took a look at the layout, but I am not able to guess what could make proper sectioning. I attached a short example screenplay. There are 3 kinds of scene headers: "INT" (inside), "EXT" (outside), and generic "Scene" (for writing things like EST or Establishing Shot and various less used scene headers). It would be ideal if each of these would be treated as a section header. Elver example.lyx Description: application/lyx

If there is anything other kind of headings that should logically go into the navigate menu, then please file a bug report at bugzilla.lyx.org describing the problem and what kind of lyx paragraph types should be considered for navigation for this kind of document.

I avoid large files ... because I avoid doing the amount of work needed to generate one. :-) I've got a 40-some page screenplay and working with it is a bit of a pain. It would be great if I could collapse scenes into just the scene header (int/ext) when not working directly with them. Sort of like most code editors allow. This may be clunky, but (assuming you have LyX 1.4.x) you could put each scene in a separate branch. Go to Document->Settings->Branches, type "Scene_1" (or whatever label you wish, but no spaces allowed) into the field labeled "New:", and click Add. Repeat ad nauseum. Then highlight each scene and click (De)activate. (I'm assuming that you want all scenes printed when you display/print/export the document.) You can optionally assign background colors to their boxes. Click OK when done. Now position the cursor where you want to enter a scene and click Insert->Branch->Scene_1 (or whichever scene label applies). Type the scene in the branch box. If you already have it typed, highlight it and then click Insert->Branch->Scene_1, and the highlighted text will be moved into the branch box. Branch boxes can be collapsed and expanded by clicking on them. When collapsed, the first few characters are displayed, so it might be helpful if your scenes started with meaningful labels. /Paul

Navigating in a big document
I was wondering... How do you guys navigate around in large files? I've got a 40-some page screenplay and working with it is a bit of a pain. It would be great if I could collapse scenes into just the scene header (int/ext) when not working directly with them. Sort of like most code editors allow. Or, alternatively, be able to get a separate breakdown display that would list all the scene headers and allow me to navigate to them easily. Elver
