[Hope it OK I am Cc'ing to the LyX list.]
After looking at the latex output, I saw that this was a Latex problem,
and found the extact text you describe in the Usenet archives, added it
for Preface, and it works great. Nice trick. [I have Lamports book and
the LaTeX Companion on order, so I should be asking fewer questions in
the future. Also, I will be try to mention LyX/LaTeX in the Preface
somewhere.]
However, I couldn't figure out how to get put the Latex inline code in
the bibliography. I can put it before the bibliography starts, but that
doesn't help because it shows the wrong page number. I can put it at
the end of the bibliography, but that doesn't work if the bibliography
is more than one page in length.
While my original problem was LaTeX-related, this may be LyX-specific.
My solution was to put \addcontentsline...{} as TeX-Style just
before the first bibliographic entry, so it reads:
[1]\addcontentsline...{}Author, Title
^
TeX-style here
Seems like that is the solution.

one way of solving this page number problem is:
\addtocounter{page}{n} where n is the number of pages you wish to add
to the page counter.
This is useful when you have added the bibliography to the toc, but
have appendecies following the bibliography and want the page numbers
on them to be correct, as I found out recently.

export as postscript does not export anything

That is quite a difficult task as you will need to use MetaFont which is not easy to learn.

Hi! I use LyX Version 1.04. I built it using the make file generated by automake/autoconfig. It installed quite well. However, I have a small problem but can't determine whether it is LyX's fault or something else. Here are my specifications: * the printer is a Hewlett Packard DeskJet 600; I'm running it as a post script enabled printer. Star Office and Netscape print successfully to it * I'm running RedHat 6.0 stock kernel custom rebuilt * I run GNOME and Enlightenment * I use A4 paper My problem is this: I create a document using the "Linux Document" format. I then convert the document to post script and view it with gv. I can guaranteee that the bottom paragraph simply "dissapears". I suspect it's being printed below the bottom of the A4 sheet. I have tried the following unsuccesfully: * increasing the bottom margin using layout to 1 inch, 2 inches and even further * manually entering the size of the A4 paper into the paper dialog * saving as sgml, converting to latex, converting from latex to dvi, converting from dvi to ps (majorly round about but anything's worth a try at least once) * coping, but telling the program printing the paper size I find LyX an excellent program except it will be absolutely useless to me if I can't fix this problem.

I have released the second prerelease for lyx-1.1.1, now most installation issues have been resolved and we have a new feature: - export as HTML Other than that there are no new features compared to 1.0.4, code cleanup is in progress and so far we have: - migrated to useing automake in additon to autoconf - moved to a std::string equivalent - moved to use DebugStream - removed pathstack and used class path from 1.1. instead. There are no problems to be expected with this prerelease, but there might be installation glitches that can wreck havoc...so be warned (and careful) We have only some compilation issues to solve before 1.1.1 proper is released.

Lars This is a LaTeX feature. If you want these headings in the TOC

Lars [and now to I remember the magic?]
Lars No...I don't remember the magic, and my LaTeX book is several
Lars meters away...
Lars I am sure somebody else will provide the needed magic.
The best solution (for the preface anyway) is to add
\frontmatter
at the beginning of the document
\mainmatter
when serious things begin, and
\backmatter
before bibliography and such stuff. This will not give you correct

Tables of contents entries are generated only by the sectioning

following
command:
\addcontentsline{toc}{sec_unit}{entry}

Hi! I use LyX Version 1.04. I built it using the make file generated by automake/autoconfig. It installed quite well. However, I have a small problem but can't determine whether it is LyX's fault or something else. Here are my specifications: * the printer is a Hewlett Packard DeskJet 600; I'm running it as a post script enabled printer. Star Office and Netscape print successfully to it * I'm running RedHat 6.0 stock kernel custom rebuilt * I run GNOME and Enlightenment * I use A4 paper My problem is this: I create a document using the "Linux Document" format. I then convert the document to post script and view it with gv. I can guaranteee that the bottom paragraph simply "dissapears". I suspect it's being printed below the bottom of the A4 sheet. I have tried the following unsuccesfully: * increasing the bottom margin using layout to 1 inch, 2 inches and even further * manually entering the size of the A4 paper into the paper dialog * saving as sgml, converting to latex, converting from latex to dvi, converting from dvi to ps (majorly round about but anything's worth a try at least once) * coping, but telling the program printing the paper size I find LyX an excellent program except it will be absolutely useless to me if I can't fix this problem.

New Prerelease lyx-1.1.1pre2
I have released the second prerelease for lyx-1.1.1, now most installation issues have been resolved and we have a new feature: - export as HTML Other than that there are no new features compared to 1.0.4, code cleanup is in progress and so far we have: - migrated to useing automake in additon to autoconf - moved to a std::string equivalent - moved to use DebugStream - removed pathstack and used class path from 1.1. instead. There are no problems to be expected with this prerelease, but there might be installation glitches that can wreck havoc...so be warned (and careful) We have only some compilation issues to solve before 1.1.1 proper is released.

Here is one way:
add
\newcommand{\tocchap}[1]{\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{}#1}}
in the preamble, and mark
\tocchap{Whatever title}
after the starred chapter or biblio, lof or lot reference section
If you want the toc entry look like an entry section, define a similar \tocsect
command.

Tables of contents entries are generated only by the sectioning
commands. In
order to add a new entry you should type in Tex mode the following
command:
\addcontentsline{toc}{sec_unit}{entry}
where sec_unit is chapter, section... as you want the appearance in the

and entry is Preface, Bibliography, Goofy or anything else!
Put the command just after the right heading in your document (but check
the
page number in the toc... in the past were reported some problems of a
wrong
page number... so you should adjust the position of the command}.

style
Hi folks
I need a thesis style suitable for Lyx 1.0.1 and tetex-latex 0.9.2.
Despite of the fact I have downloaded UC-thesis style from
ftp.lyx.org:/pub/lyx/contrib it crashes when I try to see post scriptt, dvi
flies or when I ask it to be printed.
the error prints as follows:
!LaTeX error: There's no line here to end
i.26 \begin{document}
I am a real beginer on linux, lyx and latex and I don't have any idea how to
solve it or where to get a suitable style
Thank you

First of all you should get LyX 1.0.4, lots of small bugfixes (and
some new features) since 1.0.1.

I am not sure what goes wrong or if the UC-thesis from pub/lyx/contrib
is still usable with 1.0.x versions of LyX.

What kind of thesis are you writing? Are you sure that none of the
standard textclasses are good enough? What about report?

I use for my dissertation the document style 'book (koma-script)'.
This is a standard document style in Lyx. You can select it (or the
style 'book') in Layout -> Document -> Class.

Load a example lyx-file from the directory .../lyx/examples/*.lyx and
try to compile and view it postcript or dvi. It is possible?

New Prerelease lyx-1.1.1pre2
I have tried the rpm package for 1.1.1pre2 from Sylvan and found that it doesn't display itemize correctly. (Perhaps it doesn't allow the itemize style.) Good luck lyxing Rob Dr. Robin M.

Hi! I use LyX Version 1.04. I built it using the make file generated by automake/autoconfig. It installed quite well. However, I have a small problem but can't determine whether it is LyX's fault or something else. Here are my specifications: * the printer is a Hewlett Packard DeskJet 600; I'm running it as a post script enabled printer. Star Office and Netscape print successfully to it * I'm running RedHat 6.0 stock kernel custom rebuilt * I run GNOME and Enlightenment * I use A4 paper My problem is this: I create a document using the "Linux Document" format. I then convert the document to post script and view it with gv. I can guaranteee that the bottom paragraph simply "dissapears". I suspect it's being printed below the bottom of the A4 sheet. I have tried the following unsuccesfully: * increasing the bottom margin using layout to 1 inch, 2 inches and even further * manually entering the size of the A4 paper into the paper dialog * saving as sgml, converting to latex, converting from latex to dvi, converting from dvi to ps (majorly round about but anything's worth a try at least once) * coping, but telling the program printing the paper size I find LyX an excellent program except it will be absolutely useless to me if I can't fix this problem. Has anyone any suggestions? DL -- Subscribe to the Linux C Mailing Lists Today! mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://users.senet.com.au/~lloy0076/linux_c_programming/index.html
New Prerelease lyx-1.1.1pre2
I have released the second prerelease for lyx-1.1.1, now most installation issues have been resolved and we have a new feature: - export as HTML Other than that there are no new features compared to 1.0.4, code cleanup is in progress and so far we have: - migrated to useing automake in additon to autoconf - moved to a std::string equivalent - moved to use DebugStream - removed pathstack and used class path from 1.1. instead. There are no problems to be expected with this prerelease, but there might be installation glitches that can wreck havoc...so be warned (and careful) We have only some compilation issues to solve before 1.1.1 proper is released. The roadmap for future improvements can be found at: http://www.devel.lyx.org/roadmap.php3 Get the prerelease from: ftp://www.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-1.1.1pre2.tar.gz ftp://www.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx/lyx-1.1.1pre2.tar.gz Note that it untars to 1.1.1.

Re: New Prerelease lyx-1.1.1pre2
Are there any plans soon to generalize \cite to \citet and \citep etc. (the forms supported in natbib)? The present form is very limited & not standard for published articles in many fields (such as astrophysics!) Thanks Gerald Cecil
