Thanks for the advice, M-c b is just what I needed for bold in
equations.
I have downloaded the pre4 version of 1 and can see that things are
happening with labels and related items but failed to work out exactly
what. So here is what I would like to do and why but please feel free to
damn me for my ignorance.
Some problems:
How do I type, or get at, an ascii character that exists but is not on
the keyboard. A suggestion for the manual?
If I follow a reference to find out what it is about I do not know how
to go back? This is irritating. I would like a back command like on the
web. However, it would be better to know at the point of typing (see
labels below).
I want (need) to use Figures outside floats. I usually have a lot of
figures at the end of the report. The number of floats defeats latex.
The number of figures will defeat me unless I can reference them. How do
I create a Figure set outside the floats (see labels below).
I find it impossible to highlight a section of text which goes off the
top or bottom of the screen because it scrolls too fast.
Some thoughts on labels:
I would like to see sets of labels.
- a set for figures
- a set for references
- a set for tables
- a set for sections
- a set for equations
- a set for some enumerated items I may make up
- etc...
At present these are all jumbled up and the user has to remember to
prepend the label with the name of the set (eg, "RefFredBloggs",
"SecResults").
Also the user has to add the label. For several of the sets such as
Figures, Tables and Sections this should be unecessary since lyx has
already defined them for the user. What is needed is the Figure caption,
Table capation, Section caption to be displayed in the reference popup
for the particular set.
I would like to be able to add a word before the enumerated number (e.g.
Figure, Table, see above).
(OK, I will admit to being an ex-frame user and believing it does this
sort of thing well).
Do not want to sound critical. I like where the project is going (well,
probably, if you do not adopt C++ as a scripting language!).
thanks again,
Andy.
