I meant both.

If you are once able to reproduce please report this in our bugtracker 
as this is a mustfix.


2. But even in that case, why does a long table inside a table float

as TWO tables? Is this expected Latex behavior?


This is a LaTeX issue.


Seeing that longtable in a float is meaningless, how about disallowing 
it? I.e. gray out the longtable option for any table that resides

in a float, and clear the longtable setting on any table pasted
into a float...

A longtable inside a float doesn't make much sense because a float cannot be
placed over two pages. That is counts as two tables, is described in the
EmbeddedObjects manual, sec. 2.6.3 Longtable Captions.

Thanks for the pointer---I didn't know. I had never even thought about what 
would happen to a longtable inside a float---as you say, it does not make 
sense. That's probably why it took me a while to understand what was going on.

Hello Martina!

i solved the problem just with this command

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{your section title}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{your section title}

you have to write this after a section or subsection.. it should work. It
works even for list of figures, table and  nomenclature

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{LIST OF TABLES}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{LIST OF FIGURES}

I use Lyx to write a document with a lot of tables. However, I have a very
strange problem in lyx everything works fine but as soon as I create a pdf
(or a dvi for that matter) the table numbering is 1,3,4,5,6,7, Which
confuses me.

Furthermore, I use the section*, subsection* because I don't want my
sections to be numbered. But then if i insert a Table of Content the
Contents field in the pdf file stays empty while it is correctly displayed
in lyx.

Lyx's strange table numbering

[martina.prugger]

Hi

I use Lyx to write a document with a lot of tables. However, I have a very
strange problem in lyx everything works fine but as soon as I create a pdf
(or a dvi for that matter) the table numbering is 1,3,4,5,6,7, Which
confuses me.

Furthermore, I use the section*, subsection* because I don't want my
"sections" to be numbered. But then if i insert a "Table of Content" the
Contents field in the pdf file stays empty while it is correctly displayed
in lyx.


thanks
Martina

a float can only be one page, otherwise it makes no sense
for latex for the formatting process.
longtables with captions are possible. have a look at

Hi there!

I found out the circumstances when table floats get numbered 
1, 3, 5, 7, ... or 2, 4, 6, 8, ...  I put longtables inside 
the floats, since doing that seemed to get the tables 
centred.  (Having used LyX more now, I know that's not the 
way to do it -- you just set the paragraph layout to 
centred.)

Strange table numbering

[Glenn Hutchings]

Hi there LyX fans.

I have 4 tables in my doc, inside table floats.  If I put the 
tables before the captions, I get tables numbered 1, 3, 5, 7.  
If I put them afterward, I get 2, 4, 6, 8.  But the actual 
numbering I really want is 1, 2, 3, 4 (call me fussy or 
something).  What's going on here?

do you have lyx-paragraphsytle caption doubled in
the floats?

can you send an example-file with two tables,
which shows the behaviour
