Historically, plain text tables could be passed though nroff, groff etc to generate something pretty. > Tools->Preferences->Paths: > what does "LyXServer pipe:|#S" mean? The LyX server uses FIFO pipes to communicate with external apps like Pybliographer. Fill this input with something like /home/hartmut/.lyx/pipe and, when you start LyX you'll find pipes /home/hartmut/.lyx/pipe.in and /home/hartmut/.lyx/pipe.out. New pipes are created each time you start LyX. If you start LyX from the console, you may get some useful warning output if things go wrone. These pipes do NOT work on Windows (unless you use Cygwin.) > what does "PATH prefix:|#T" mean, and when/where ist it used? LyX users the PATH environment variable to find external apps that it uses for various things. If you have some tool that you'd like LyX to use but it isn't in the PATH, the the string you add here will be prepended to the PATH environment variable so that LyX can find your tool. The string should be input in native format: "C:\Program Files\ImageMagick 6.x;C:\Python24" on Windows "/usr/opt/bin:/usr/local/bin" on *nix (probably not needed on *nix). > Document->Preferences->Bibliography: > what does "Sectioned bibliography|#e" mean?
