As Marcelo said footnote don't work inside floats (not just tables), you can 
see a workaround here:

Document -> Change Tracking?

[Wolfgang Keller]

Hello,

is there some documentation available about how the "Change Tracking" 
features in LyX work? Especially merging?

BTW: Is the LyX file format subversion-friendly (i.e. diff-able)?

TIA,

MacOS X: SGML classes not available?

[Wolfgang Keller]

Hello,

I wanted to try out using LyX for editing *duck* Docbook documents, but after 
installing it, the SGML classes (as well as a lot of others) are marked as 
"unavailable" in the "Document class" popup menu in the Document -> 
Settings... dialog.

Is this simply because the required files are simply not included in the 
MacOs X installer or is SGML support not yet available again in 1.4 after it 
had apparently been "broken" with 1.3?

TIA,

Sincerely,

Wolfgang Keller

changing bibliography style in layouts

[Luis Rivera]

Hello,

I wrote my own bibliography package (no kidding), following (freely) natbib; now
I want to use LyX's natbib layout, but with my own sty/bst.  I browsed around
the /layout directory, without figuring out where are the bibliography options
stored, so that I can adjust LyX's "native" natbib support, but now calling my
own package/bibstyle (its name is "oxon", if that info is useful).

Thanks.

Glossary Format

[Dave Jarvis]

Hi,

I still love LyX. ;-)

I have been stomping around with the nomencl package for a while now, 
but I cannot get the glossary formatted the way I want.


The step-by-step instructions I used to get the nomencl package working 
in the first place are included below. Everything works, the Glossary 
embeds inside the PDF without a hitch. The formatting is an issue, though.


Here are two screen-scrapes. The first is how it currently looks, the 
second is how I am trying to get it to look.


http://joot.com/dave/genesis-2006-c.png (current)

Again, any help you can send my way is greatly appreciated.

HOW TO CREATE A GLOSSARY IN LyX 1.4.2

1. Click Document >> Settings...
2. Click LaTeX Preamble
3. Copy then paste the following lines into the Preamble:

\usepackage{nomencl}
\makeglossary

4. Click OK
5. Add nomenclature (i.e., a glossary term) to the document with TeX Code:

  a. Click Insert >> TeX Code
  b. Type:

  \nomenclature{Word}{Definition}

6. Insert the Glossary into the document:

  a. Position the cursor where you want the Glossary to appear.
  b. Click Insert >> TeX Code
  c. Type:

  \printglossary

7. Click File >> Save
8. Click File >> Export >> LaTeX
9. From the command line, type (substitute your file's name for "filename"):

latex filename.tex
makeindex filename.glo -s nomencl.ist -o filename.gls
latex filename.tex
pdflatex filename.tex

HOW TO CONFIGURE THE GLOSSARY

1. Edit Configuration File

  a. Create a new file in the working directory of your document.
  b. Name the file "nomencl.cfg".
  c. All subsequent updates are done by editing "nomencl.cfg".

2. Rename "Nomenclature" to "Glossary":

\renewcommand{\nomname}{Glossary}

3. Make entry names bold:

\renewcommand{\nomlabel}[1]{\textbf{#1}}

4. Terminate entry text with a period:

\renewcommand{\nomentryend}{.}

5. Indent the entry text by changing the size of the entry name:

\setlength{\nomlabelwidth}{1in}

Footnotes in an Appendix?

[Dave Jarvis]

Hi,

I love LyX. But that's not why I'm writing.

I have recently (and perhaps naively) added footnotes into a table 
within an Appendix. When the PDF was generated, no footnotes appeared. 
Two pages from the same document illustrate the issue:


http://joot.com/dave/genesis-2006-a.png (without footnotes)
http://joot.com/dave/genesis-2006-b.png (with footnotes)

I do not know if it is the table, the Appendix, or the combination of 
the two that is causing the problem. Any light someone can shed on this 
would be a great help.


Many thanks,
Dave

You can tweak in preference the string that is returned by
date-insert.

Re: String with actual date (+ time)

[Hellmut Weber]

Hi Paul,
thanks for your quick answer ;-)
The procedure you describe works well.

But the format of the date string does not fit well with all my needs, 
because it is quite long.


So I come to a more general question:
Is it possible to invoke some linux command from inside LyX AND to get 
the output of that command in the text?


Greetings from Munich

Hellmut

Half an answer:  Type M-x to open the command minibuffer, then 
date-insert (enter) in the minibuffer to insert the date at the current 
cursor position.  You could bind the date-insert command to a key 
combination for easy access.  I don't know any way to insert the current 
time, though.  Maybe something with a shell script?  (Or bug the 
developers to add a time-insert LFUN?)

I recently tried to do the same thing, and could not figure out an easy way to 
do it.  I settled for putting the picture at the top, and the text below it.

The most promising approach might be to use two minipages side by side.

Hi,


I am trying to create a slide with text and graphics side by side:

three "itemize"d lines on the left, and a small figure on the right.

I've tried \twocolumn{text}{\includegraphics{}}

Any advice?

And indeed "x" toggles between expert mode 0 and 1 while closing xdvik in mode 0
creates xdvirc remembering your preferences for the next time. Perfect!

e.g. using an eps from inkscape with pslatex don't work; but usually
passing the eps trough eps2eps is enough to fix it.

bibtex in multi-parted documents

[timmichelsen]

Hi,
in the extended user guide it is recommended for longer documents books thesis 
etc. to have every chapter in a separate document and the put them all together 
in a master document via Insert -> File -> Input.
So far that works.

Since I am using bibtex I want to ask for a hint.

Let's say I am currently working on chapter 1 and need to include bibtex 
references there. Where do I put the literature?

If I put it only in the master document the bibtex-file is not processed when I 
only diplay a dvi of chapter 1.

So shall I include the bixtex at the bootom of each chapter and then delete it 
when the content is written and leave it only at the end of the master document?

Thanks and have a nice day,
Tim

Ok for the impatient here is the diff:
ftp://hxt.homelinux.org/foobuntu/lyx_1.4.2-4%7edapper1.diff.gz

If you've a fast machine build it on your own. My oh so slow box is still
working on the binary. Oh and I'm still unsure if it's a great idea to publish
binarys from a one time action only initiated to proof something.
It would be a lot better if someone would publish binarys who is actually
using them and who is interested in keeping them fresh and up to date.
Actually im building in a chroot located in /tmp which means it will be gone
with the next reboot anyway.
If someone would like to care for his *buntu fellows it would be nice to step
up NOW. I'm not interested at all and a little bit pissed of already by some
strange emails claiming that Debian packagers are responsible for what *buntu
ships.

Oh slightly off-topic of course ... I should stop whiningx ;)

Problem with Algorithm label language

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to use a Float Algorithm in my document. The language I set
is Italian, but when I export to pdf (pdflatex), The "Algorithm" label
in the output is in English instead. This does not happen with all the
other labels (Figures and Tables), which are printed correctly (in
Italian) in the output pdf.
Any idea of what's going on?

Well I bet that this is solveable by just tweaking some things in the control
file and maybe by reverting the python policy change if it has been adopted by
