Re: page 2 in the Tutorial
Sounds good, Dan. Please ask if you have any questions. Just as a note, the way I got started developing in LyX was by reading very carefully the documentation and sending in patches. I think it's a great way to learn LyX well and to make a contribution. Scott On Sat, Dec 14, 2013 at 8:05 PM, DWL wrote: > I should have written: "IF I have ideas..."

I should have written: "IF I have ideas..."

Thanks Scott. I'll do that. I think the docs are in decent shape. I have ideas that seem helpful, use what you can, leave the rest. dan On Fri, 12/13/13, Scott Kostyshak wrote: Subject: Re: page 2 in the Tutorial To: "DWL" Cc: "LyX Documentation Team" Date: Friday, December 13, 2013, 9:20 PM On Sun, Dec 8, 2013 at 8:40 PM, DWL wrote: > Hi, > > I'm working through the Tutorial file.

Having checked the TeX code for the tutorial, I suspect this may be an artefact of the way in which the Roman numbers for the start of the PDF have been generated. The code used was presumably intended to hide the technique for generating Roman numbers from a new user so as not to alarm them on first encountering a LyX document; however, it has had this unfortunate side effect. When I create a book, the TeX code for generating the Roman numbers is placed at the start of the book in full view of the user and does not have this effect. So, no, it is a side effect and not at all the normal way of doing things. John --
page 2 in the Tutorial
Hi, I'm working through the Tutorial file. In section 1.2.1, there is a suggestion to print the file as a PDF. So I did that. On the second page of the PDF, there is a page number in the upper-left. I'm not sure how common it is that the verso side of a title page has a page number in a book. To be sure, it's a minor quibble, but as this is a document that introduces people to the software, I figure it should be as flawless as possible. I'm using Mac version 2.0.6.
