Searching documentation
Just starting with lyx, and looking for a way to grep the help docs. Something more precise than a TOC, like grepping for precise RE. One would expect at least a cumbersome and slow FIND/FIND NEXT on the menu. Even that would beat just plowing along. But better to have some arrangement for precise RE searching. At least with the normal tools, but first we must know what files to look in. The rpm I have (yx-1.0.4-1), when listing the files I see nothing that looks like a documentation file other than the man pages and readmes. Seems some unconventional doc type file is used. The many *.lyx files are not where the manual is either I guess. Similarly with the source tar.gz, I see no conventional docs directory. How can a user do RE searches of the docs. It wasn't clear to me how the Manual and User Guide are packaged. In what format? Surely there is a way to do precise searching in the voluminous documentation.

Printing/Export problem
Hi. I'm having trouble getting Lyx to export more than the first page to any format at all. Some older documents I have written don't seem to have any problems, but I'll be writing a new document in Lyx and suddenly I can't seem to get it to do anything beyond exporting the first page. I opened an older document and previewed it in DVI, and then tried the new file in DVI again, and it worked. Is anyone else having this problem or do I just have something wrong with my setup on this machine? (I'll try to be more specific on what libraries I'm running if anyone knows which ones would be related to this. My system is running Redhat 6.1. I originally had Lyx 1.0.4, upgraded to 1.1.4fix1, and am still having the same problem. Any ideas would be appreciated.) Best C Y __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
