"Allan" == Allan Rae [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Allan What's wrong with changing the paragraph alignment with Allan Layout-Paragraph like you do for every other paragraph in your Allan document? To concur with Allan : wanting tabular to be centered by default is like saying that LyX should add \textsf around section headings because this is nicer... If tables are really better centered; then someone should go ahead and look for a package that centers tables automatically in LaTeX. The LyX could support it. Allan Maybe someone might like to add LFUNs for 'paragraph-align Allan [block|left|right|centre]' then you can setup a keybinding for Allan faster access to it.

Re: Crossreferencing to references in included files

Suppose that your files are master.lyx, chap1.lyx, chap2.lyx, and you want to insert a label from chap2.lyx to chap1.lyx. There are three methods: 1. Open master.lyx, open the insert reference dialog, and return to chap1.lyx. Now, whenever you open the insert reference dialog in chap1.lyx, you will get a list of all labels in all the files. 2. Open chap2.lyx, open the insert reference dialog, and without closing the dialog, return to chap1.lyx, and then insert the reference. This doesn't work in LyX 1.1.6. 3. In LyX 1.1.6, type M-x reference-insert ref|++||++|label where label is the required label.

Minitoc for Appendix

citation references
Hi All, When I accidentally add some 'Text after' to my citation, I double-click on the citation and delete this text (who wouldn't). But to my surprise, the 'OK' and 'Apply' buttons remain disabled. It is only after moving a key to the right-hand listbox and re-inserting it in the left-hand listbox it that these buttons become enabled. Is this me or a bug? And to stay with the citation references, I have following suggestion. Make it possible to tab into the lists and start typing the first few characters of your citation to select it. With a large list of citations (as is my case), it is painfull to have to scroll in the list the whole time. It would also be nice to be able to use, eg., ALT-arrow to control the actions of the buttons in the middle (ALT-left arrow to move a citation key to the left-hand listbox and ALT-right to bring it back to the right-hand listbox).

paper on using Latex to annotate Xfig figures
While getting familiar with the new version of Lyx, I decided to go ahead and write up several of the ways to annotate included figures with Latex fonts (including math mode fonts). The instructions mostly deal with figures made using the Xfig program. Here is the compressed Postscript of the paper, http://www.datafilter.com/software/figuresInXfig.ps.gz and here is the tarred, gzipped source directory containing the Lyx file and the example Xfig files. http://www.datafilter.com/software/howToUseLatexMathWithXfig.tar.gz (The table of contents is not currently printing on my system; I'll put up a fixed compressed Postscript file if I get it working.) I hope someone will find this useful. Comments are welcome, but please CC me if you reply to the list since I read the list from the archives. Allen Barker
Re: A XML Layout
Juan Pablo Diaz a crit : How can i make a layout to create XML DocBook Documents? Well, you don't need to do anything. At the moment direct XML output is not yet available (but it should be available in version 1.2.x) but you can export to SGML and change only the two first lines, and it should work. Personnaly what I change is: !doctype book public "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN" to: ?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"? !DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "file:///(full path)/docbookx.dtd" I know, it is not automatic, but for me it works.

I tried labeling the foot note then cross-refrencing to it. That

superscripted like a regular footnote.
in latex preamble:

\sups{insert the crossref with lyx}
or alternative
insert-special character-superscript (since lyx 1.1.6)

citation references
Hi All, When I accidentally add some 'Text after' to my citation, I double-click on the citation and delete this text (who wouldn't). But to my surprise, the 'OK' and 'Apply' buttons remain disabled. It is only after moving a key to the right-hand listbox and re-inserting it in the left-hand listbox it that these buttons become enabled. Is this me or a bug? And to stay with the citation references, I have following suggestion. Make it possible to tab into the lists and start typing the first few characters of your citation to select it. With a large list of citations (as is my case), it is painfull to have to scroll in the list the whole time. It would also be nice to be able to use, eg., ALT-arrow to control the actions of the buttons in the middle (ALT-left arrow to move a citation key to the left-hand listbox and ALT-right to bring it back to the right-hand listbox). I'm using lyx1.6fix1. Eric e-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP fingerprint: 17C6 528E 3018 F44A 596B 203B B344 9377 BD6D 3B64

paper on using Latex to annotate Xfig figures
While getting familiar with the new version of Lyx, I decided to go ahead and write up several of the ways to annotate included figures with Latex fonts (including math mode fonts). The instructions mostly deal with figures made using the Xfig program. Here is the compressed Postscript of the paper, http://www.datafilter.com/software/figuresInXfig.ps.gz and here is the tarred, gzipped source directory containing the Lyx file and the example Xfig files. http://www.datafilter.com/software/howToUseLatexMathWithXfig.tar.gz (The table of contents is not currently printing on my system; I'll put up a fixed compressed Postscript file if I get it working.)

At the moment direct XML output is not yet available (but it should be available in version 1.2.x) but you can export to SGML and change only the two first lines, and it should work. Personnaly what I change is: !doctype book public "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN" to: ?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"? !DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "file:///(full path)/docbookx.dtd" I know, it is not automatic, but for me it works.

I tried labeling the foot note then cross-refrencing to it. That
actually worked except the cross-refrence was regular size text and not
superscripted like a regular footnote.
in latex preamble:
\newcommand\sups[1]{\raisebox{1ex}{\footnotesize #1}}
in text in tex (red):
\sups{insert the crossref with lyx}
or alternative
insert-special character-superscript (since lyx 1.1.6)

insert \ref{
lyx inserts the closing parenthesis by default, so put between them

To concur with Allan : wanting tabular to be centered by default is like saying that LyX should add \textsf around section headings because this is nicer... If tables are really better centered; then someone should go ahead and look for a package that centers tables automatically in LaTeX. The LyX could support it.

Suppose that your files are master.lyx, chap1.lyx, chap2.lyx, and you want to insert a label from chap2.lyx to chap1.lyx. There are three methods: 1. Open master.lyx, open the insert reference dialog, and return to chap1.lyx. Now, whenever you open the insert reference dialog in chap1.lyx, you will get a list of all labels in all the files. 2. Open chap2.lyx, open the insert reference dialog, and without closing the dialog, return to chap1.lyx, and then insert the reference. This doesn't work in LyX 1.1.6. 3. In LyX 1.1.6, type M-x reference-insert ref|++||++| where is the required label.

Minitoc for Appendix

I've tried to manage it with the minitoc package but failed as I didn't find a suitable solution. Here's the problem: * The listing of chapters with minitoc can only be done if I define the appendix being a part and use \parttoc. The definition part* didn't work -> empty minitoc. * That part definition results in an entry of the 'normal' TOC in a more emphasised way than a chapter what I don't like (The appendix is really not of major importance).

Or do I have to redefine the part environment to get rid of 'Part I.' and have a TOC entry like a chapter -- in this case what are the commands? I'm using version 1.1.5fix1. It is a book koma-script document. Thanks for your help. Martin
