Re: How figure and table numbering is defined?
Thanks Daniel. I never looked at the content of numreport.inc. Perhaps you have an idea for my problem I uploaded here before?

Yes yes, LyX "doesn't know anything about latex", and it is actually latex that takes care of the numbering, but only in the output (pdf or dvi). My question is about the numbering *inside* the editor. stdfloats.inc contains the basic definition of the float, e.g. Float Type table GuiName Table Placement tbp Extension lot NumberWithin none Style plain ListName "List of Tables" IsPredefined true UsesFloatPkg false ListCommand listoftables RefPrefix tab End numreport.inc switches the numbering for reports and books to be within chapters, e.g. Float Type table NumberWithin chapter End Best, Daniel -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
Re: How figure and table numbering is defined?
I am just wondering how lyx knows how to display the numbering of floats when the document class is book and according to what rule to change the numbering when the document class is changed to article, for example. Yes yes, LyX "doesn't know anything about latex", and it is actually latex that takes care of the numbering, but only in the output (pdf or dvi). My question is about the numbering inside the editor.
