Footnoteref Problem
In previous situations, I've been able to use the LaTeX "\footnoteref" command
with a Lyx reference to a label in another footnote, with no problems. Not
surprisingly, the result is a second mark pointing to the same footnote.
This time, I need for both the original footnote and the \footnoteref to be in
section headings. In spite of adding \protect's everywhere I can think to do
so, I'm left with the following LaTeX error at the \footnotemark:
Missing number, treated as zero.
...ect\footnotemark[\protect\ref{foot:div}]}
A number should have been here; I inserted "0".
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `wierd error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
"Wierd error" indeed. I protected the original footnote in its section
heading. I protected the label within the footnote. I protected the
footnotemark in its section heading, and I protected its optional reference
argument. My previous experience is that a \ref to a label in a previous
footnote will produce the number footnotemark needs.
Is this just not possible, or can someone show me how to get what I'm looking
for?
Thanks in advance for any help (or sympathy).

compose key fixed (Solaris-2.6)
Bad form to answer my own query, but better than having someone else slave to solve the problem ... The reason my compose key didn't work with LyX after the switch to a new Solaris-2.6 machine is that LANG on the new machine was set to C. Adding LANG=en_US export LANG to ~/.dtprofile fixed it. Sorry for the false alarm. LyX is happy, and I am too. I'm surprised that the compose key still worked in xterm and xemacs with LANG=C. -- Ronald Florence http://members.home.net/18james
formatted C code samples in a lyx doc?
I should start by saying I'm rather new at lyx and latex. The previous technical documentation I did was in roff. I'm trying to write a programming document for text file and dead-tree targets, and I'm running into a bit of trouble when I want to include a code sample. I tried hacking up the article class a bit to add a nestable environment thingie with a wider left margin so I could play with the environment depth to get different indentations, but then when I output to the text file, I get double spaces between each line of code. Not good. I feel like I'm trying to hammer nails with a sea-bass here, surely I can't be the first person on earth to want to include code samples in a document?
Is it bug?
Search/Replace dialog box in my LyX (1.1.5patch2) does not close itself on Esc press, although other dialog boxen (esp. Spell) do. Is it a bug or feature? Matej Cepl
compose key stopped working (Sparc-Solaris-2.6)
I recently migrated from a Sparc-20/812 to an Ultra-1E/200. The operating system is the same (Solaris-2.6), the LyX binaries (lyx-1.1.5fix2), xforms and xpm libraries are identical, and nothing has been changed in the configuration. But, the compose key suddenly stopped working in LyX. The compose key still works in other applications, like xterms or xemacs. I'd welcome suggestions on how to debug and fix this. Thanks, -- Ronald Florence http://members.home.net/18james

I have version 1, and I should update to v2 or v3, at least to have the docbook support. But how does it work with docbook? Is there a command such as sgml2docbook, or what? When docbook is installed, does a LyX reconfiguration detect and add a new SGML document style or not? > Or are you talking about a different dtd? Yes; my dream is that I could write a LyX document, export it in SGML, and use an environment containing tools that would allow to convert it in a publishable format (tex, ps, pdf, rtf, man, html, etc.), AND the environment would be open enough to let the user add/customise the output format (by adding new .dtd files I suppose). But is it only a dream? Bye, BG

remember that the array environment is for math-mode and therefore
lyx doesn't support the \\ command in one cell (i think so ...).
you can do a \renewcommand\arraystretch{0.9} for reducing line
spacing. than you can write your different lines in different cells.

If so, you could emit a updateRefs signal when you change this list and the references in the popup will update automatically. We could then remove the "Update" button from the popup. Same with the TOC. Angus

Note that while changing a regular label will also changes the references to the label, changing a math label doesn't change the references. This bug will be fixed in 1.1.6, and maybe in 1.1.5fix3

I've already implemented this feature. However, it may not appear in 1.1.6 as we don't want to add new feature now, but it may appear in 1.1.6fix1.

try behind the appendix command
\renewcommand\thepage{\Alph{section}\arabic{page}}
