Quick newbie question

2001-01-24 Thread Matt Norton
Hello everyone. I've just upgraded to v. 1.1.6, and am now getting a sort of strange error. I'm working on a simple text file with a table, and when I try View-->Postscript, or PDF, I get the following error: !Latex Error: Something's wrong -- perhaps a missing \item. See the LaTeX manual .

Well, when I started to write my Ph.D. thesis I though: Be clever, write one LyX file for each chapter, then combine then with a master document. This would normally be no problem with LaTeX, and after reading the LyX manual I did not expect problems with LyX neither. Now (after finding out this

Include broken?

I guess I found a bug in LyX 1.1.6: You cannot include files any more. Obviously, LyX translates the include file command to \Include{file} instead of \include{file}. This is what LaTeX complains about. The problem is easily reproducible. Create a LyX file, include another LyX file via Insert->I

A quick workaround would be to add an additional (zeroth) row on the top of the table, and to enable the bottom line of the cells in this row only. Another solution is to use the plain LaTeX table command "\hline" inside of a table in LyX. You have to figure out, where to place this command exac
