Marking text in math mode

2002-08-18 Thread Paolo Pumilia


I have noticed that marked text in math mode in lyx 1.2.0 is often
lost (probably erased from the buffer). I could not find a rule to 
model such behaviour, but here is one the possible occurrences:

  - mark a text in math mode
  - copy to buffer (ctrl-c)
  - move to a new location within the same math input area, then 
enter a superscript
  - paste buffer content (crtl-v)
 no text from the buffer

maybe an already known bug...

mark a region not to be spell-checked

2002-08-18 Thread Ben Stanley

Hi,

My thesis contains some things like algorithms and a few words that just 
should not be spellchecked. Is there any way that I can tel LyX not to 
spell-check them?

In Microsoft Word, there used to be a special 'language' that you could 
mark text with which basically told the spell-checker to ignore it. I 
can't find any similar or equivalent feature in LyX.

Any hints?

Thanks,
Ben.





list of figures

2002-08-18 Thread Philipp Kuster

Hello everybody,

I have written my diploma thesis using Lyx. Everything worked fine and it was 
fun working with this program. But now I've got a problem with the text in 
the list of figures.
My figures in the document do include the name of the figure and the source. 
This looks like this: 
Caption: 'Name of the figure', 'Source' [...]

I can't change this format, because of the preferences of my prof.
In the list of figures it's showing me the whole line, including the Source.
Of Course there should just be seen the name of the figure, excluding the 
Source. Hope somebody can help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.

the stuff in a single paragraph formatted in the Date environment, with

It was a kludge, and it was sneaky, and it totally defeated the purpose of 
the Date environment, but the result was a very nice looking title page.

 This seems really strange to me. 
 Lyx even does not start the caption with: Abbidung 12.34:.
 It starts directly with the text written inside the float. 

This is because you need to select the 'Caption' layout from the layouts

mark a region not to be spell-checked

2002-08-18 Thread Ben Stanley

Hi,

My thesis contains some things like algorithms and a few words that just 
should not be spellchecked. Is there any way that I can tel LyX not to 
spell-check them?

In Microsoft Word, there used to be a special 'language' that you could 
mark text with which basically told the spell-checker to ignore it. I 
can't find any similar or equivalent feature in LyX.

Any hints?

Thanks,
Ben.





list of figures

2002-08-18 Thread Philipp Kuster

Hello everybody,

I have written my diploma thesis using Lyx. Everything worked fine and it was 
fun working with this program. But now I've got a problem with the text in 
the list of figures.
My figures in the document do include the name of the figure and the source. 
This looks like this: 
Caption: 'Name of the figure', 'Source' [...]

I can't change this format, because of the preferences of my prof.
In the list of figures it's showing me the whole line, including the Source.
Of Course there should just be seen the name of the figure, excluding the 
Source. Hope somebody can help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.

Would you like a sneaky, kludgy way to do it? I did it by putting title and 
author as you would expect (and in your case you'd add the word "by to the 
author, followed by an ert //. Then I did my magic, including all the rest of 
the stuff in a single paragraph formatted in the Date environment, with 
linefeeding controlled by // and/or //[1.0in], etc. Sometimes I'd need to put 
a nonbreaking space in front of the // to kill errors.

It was a kludge, and it was sneaky, and it totally defeated the purpose of 
the Date environment, but the result was a very nice looking title page.

Yes, it's known and fixed in 1.2.1 cvs.

This is because you need to select the 'Caption' layout from the layouts
list in the toolbar.

Never use [h] as a float placement.
