Version Control and multipart documents

2005-11-09 Thread David Wolfson
I'm writing a large document, so have a master document with a number of include files. This all works well, and I normally load the master document and load the individual files from within it. Having completed first drafts of some parts of the document, I'm now trying to use version control.

Hi, Through the wonders of wine, I've managed to get some figures from an old excel sheet added into a lyx file as floats, but need to add symbol definitions in the caption. I've found most of the symbols listed as part of the ifsym font in the 'comprehensive list of LATEX fonts' from CTAN, but
