Why XForms?

1999-11-01 Thread Gerald


This is just a curiosity. How come Lyx uses XForms as opposed to more
"modern" toolkits like GTK+ or Motif? Is XForms better at something
than the other toolkits? Are there plans to convert?

Unfortunately, it is not that easy. Somewhere within the tree of included

 Hi,
 
 in Extended.lyx I read about the possibility to create mini-pages using

 I didn't find it anywhere. Can somebody help to remove my blindness ?
 
 I was actually trying to get two subfigures side-by-side within the same

 Thanks ;-

Use the pulldown:

Layout-Paragraph-ExtraOpt

Among other options, you will find a radio button labeled "Minipage"
there.

Hope this helps!

Happy LyXing, Dirk

Put the cursor into the table, and choose what you want in Layout-Paragraph.

prerelease 1.1.2pre1

1999-11-01 Thread Lars Gullik Bjønnes


Ok this fixes two problems with 1.1.1:

- crash in string::find
- missing cheaders from distribution.

It doesn not fix the annoying '-' vs. '_' bug, but that will be fixed
before 1.1.2 proper.

Other than that there is no known problems with 1.1.2pre1, so I would
be grateful if as many as possible would take the time to check out
this prerelease. Of course you should be careful as always...
