There is actually no explanation about this function in the docs, partly because I am lazy, partly because I am genuinely short of time, partly because I feel that this is an ugly hack that has to be corrected some time and partly because nobody else did the work ;-| Andre' -- It'll take a long time to eat 63.000 peanuts.

Yes, it may be a solution, or just use an escaped ; when you want a ;. JMarc

Hyphenation!
I'm sorry but hyphenation is always my problem... Now I'm at the end of my thesis and I NEED the correct hyphenation. Many words have uncorrect hyphenation. Too much word to solve the problem manually... This is what I've done to make hyphenation correct: 1)I changed manually the file /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat and uncommented the line italian ithyph.tex and did "configure" under lyx Nothing appened... :-( 2) Ran "texconfig" under Hyphenation -> LaTeX menu I edited language.dat file (I added a blank character and deleted it, just to update the file) Than I stroke "Exit" (I haven't found any "rebuild" option, so I thought it was automatic). Nothing happened :-< How can I do? I use tetex-0.9-17 under RedHat Linux 6.0 Please help me... Emanuele

Then save it and exit and you'll see that it recreates the format files (you have to choose the latex-hypenations!)

How to begin chapter on the right?
I'm printing a two-side report (my thesis) written with LyX: How can I make LyX start a new chapter on the right side (i.e. on a page with odd number)? Otherwise, how can I add a white page before a chapter? Thanks in advance Emanuele

reference to chapters in different parts
Glop glop I am writing in a book layout, and cross references to chapters/sections in different parts give the correct chapters/sections numbering, without the part number, which could be somewhat confusing. I guess one should write almost self-contained parts, and that the references to forein parts should seldom be used. In this case, it is easy to cross-ref to the part AND to the section. But is there a simple way to have the part number included in the ref, both everytime or whenever the part is different from the current one?

Latex Not Usable
Hi! I'm using LyX since a couple of years and i'm really happy with it. But now, I have problem to install it on a new system. I installed Debian 2.1 (i386) and LyX 1.2.2. When I do a reconfigure, I get: +checking for "latex"... not useable +checking for "latex2e"... not useable I did a latex ltxcheck and all is OK. The same for texconfig. Any ideas of the problem? Thanks Spec: I have these packages on my system: ii tetex-base 0.9.981113-1 basic teTeX library files ii tetex-bin 0.9.981113-2 teTeX binary files ii tetex-dev 0.9.981113-2 kpathsea.a and include files for teTeX ii tetex-doc 0.9.981113-1 teTeX documentation ii tetex-extra 0.9.981113-1 extra teTeX library files ii tetex-nonfree 0.9.981113-1 non-free teTeX library files gcc version egcs-2.91.66 Debian GNU/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release) libc6 xforms 0.89 __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
float placement?
I've got a problem getting figure floats to go where I need them. What I want is for each figure to be on a page by itselfbut to be on the next page after it is placed in the text. I've tried !h and !hp a and various combinations in the float placement section of the document layout. however, the figures on their own page always seem to get put at the end of the doccument. it seems like the hp option tells lyx to "put the figure here if possible...but if not put it on its own page at the end of the doccument" What I want is "Put the figure on its own page and put it as close to here as possible" Is there anyway to get the behavoir I desire? Thank you :) Thanks you. Michael McPherson
new document class
Hi... I am a LyX beginner and I want to write my Master thesis in LyX. For that I have to use the university-specified document class. I have the .sty and .cls versions of the class so I can use either of them. They work fine with Latex. My problem is how to make LyX "understand" that specific class. I am runninf LyX 1.0.1. as it is the one installed at school. I tried all what came in the LyX manuals (Reference Manual, Customization manual, etc.) but nothing worked. Anybody has an idea on how to overcome this problem? Do I have to have a leter version of LyX in order to overcome the problem? Thank you very much, -- Wail

LyX-1.1.4 has a much improved section in Customization about adding new classes. You should get the school to upgrade to 1.0.4 with the manuals from the 1.1.4 distribution (or from the lyxdoc cvs module). Allan. (ARRae)
