Problems with lists of figures
Currently I have all my captions of figures above the figures and when I build a list of figures it works fine. However I prefer to have my captions below the figures. This also works for list of figures when the figures are .eps files (from xfig). But if I use combined latex/postscript format then I get several errors with each figure. Is there a way around this problem. (I assume not) Is this problem fixed or going to be fixed in a later version of lyx. I am using lyx 1.0.4. While I'm here let me make two further points. 1) I sometimes put multiple lines of data with a figure. To do this I put the first line in a caption paragraph (to be put in the list of figures) and the remaining lines in a second paragraph in a standard paragraph. When I do this I want the lines to be in block format. Unfortunately they are always centered even though the layout of the paragraph is "block". Can this be fixed? 2) I notice that sometimes that when I make a change and then build a postscript file that the change is not put into the file. This occurs when building the postscript file is generating errors. For example. Assume that I have a figure and with a long caption. I decide to break the caption into two lines by a CTRL-RETURN. The build of the postscript file generates errors. So I undo the change and build again. Alas the errors are still there! Now I add a RETURN instead of a CTRL-RETURN and the error goes away. (Actually of course it was alread gone. I see the problem in various ways when there are errors. It is of course quite confusing when you are trying to figure out what the source of the errors is. 3) I put my captions in italics. I do this manually. It there a simple way to make this automatic? 4) I can't count. Thanks in advance for your help and thanks for the great product. P.S. If you need files with these errors in them let me know. I don't think they will be necessary. Ralph Boland
